Speaker 1: of the few times where they got a point in
Speaker 1: each other? Was you guaranteed you who didn't make the

Speaker 1: Bowl, I mean, that's true, but you don't know the season.
Speaker 2: That's true.

Speaker 1: I just don't understand it, but thank you. I thank
Speaker 1: the giants for the gift, one of the best gifts
Speaker 1: I've ever fucking like received as a fan.
Speaker 5: In saw talk to us about this new two part
Speaker 5: documentary you Got One to Call.
Speaker 1: She congratulations to Jamie fox Man. This is a Jamie
Speaker 1: fox Like idea that he came to me with at heartbeat.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was a concept about being one
Speaker 1: of the call sheet and the good and bad of it. Right.
Speaker 1: He's like, you know a lot of people experience it,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't do the same for everyone, you know,
Speaker 1: and whether it's the ego, whether it's the money, whether
Speaker 1: it's the idea of the money, whether it's the thought
Speaker 1: of my career is now about to be, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't become like there's so many different, uh concepts attached
Speaker 1: to it. I thought it was a great idea, man,
Speaker 1: you know, fox is a brilliant mind. And I said,
Speaker 1: to make it real, like, we got to go out
Speaker 1: and you know, of course happened to all our relationships.
Speaker 1: So it started off is just the idea for men,
Speaker 1: Like we were heavy on the men's side, and then
Speaker 1: we were like, yo, it's dope as fuck if you
Speaker 1: have it to where you know there's a male version,
Speaker 1: and then we go when we tap into a female
Speaker 1: version as well, and really just expand the conversation of
Speaker 1: success or lack thereof. And it's, uh, it's dope to
Speaker 1: hear all these people talk about it. So I think
Speaker 1: people are gonna be blown away by hearing the good
Speaker 1: and the bad. Like everybody doesn't fuck with the concept
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: You know, we'll be a number one on the cause.
Speaker 4: Everybody doesn't fuck with it. When when did you become
Speaker 4: number one on the cast sheet? And what does it
Speaker 4: mean to be there?
Speaker 1: I've been number one for a while. Like I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it like I don't. I don't want to
Speaker 1: make it very clear. I love it. Think like a
Speaker 1: man the first time, No, I mean the first one.
Speaker 1: First one was probably, of course paper soldiers way back
Speaker 1: in the day. Oh, but you know it's been it's
Speaker 1: been a lot.
Speaker 2: They will be happy to hear that. He'll be happy
Speaker 2: to hit at you.
Speaker 1: Paper soldiers shut out today. I think I think for
Speaker 1: for me, it's more about you know, it's about the
Speaker 1: the idea of building the project. So so you know,
Speaker 1: I'm more of the creative behind the scene now, so
Speaker 1: to have the idea and the idea come into like
Speaker 1: real life and you're like, oh shit, we're doing this
Speaker 1: and it's happening. And then the number one on the
Speaker 1: call sheet and you're like, following down, that's great. But now, honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't really I don't really give a fuck, Like
Speaker 1: I'm joking about the number one, But I'm more about
Speaker 1: putting other people in place to do ship and the
Speaker 1: producing or the development of projects is what thrives, like,
Speaker 1: that's what drives me.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: You never left the road.
Speaker 1: Why is the road so important to you? Because you
Speaker 1: control it, you own it. Uh, there's no small venues.
Speaker 1: You do big venues. Like nothing better than stand up coming.
Speaker 1: There's no job better than the job of live entertainment,
Speaker 1: live audience, Your fans, your connection, your relationship. It doesn't
Speaker 1: die right like you can you literally if you if
Speaker 1: you treat it like a plant and you forever water it,
Speaker 1: the plan is never gonna die right like, So if
Speaker 1: it can grow and you have good seasons, bad seasons,
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be there. And those fans are just
Speaker 1: gonna ride with you forever. So I'm very I'm very
Speaker 1: adamant on staying true to stand up comedy. Nothing takes
Speaker 1: the place in stand up coming. I don't give fuck
Speaker 1: what I'm doing the level that I'm doing at. I
Speaker 1: will go and do comedy clubs. I will come to
Speaker 1: New York for months on a time and just do
Speaker 1: a run of pop ups.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: That's my muse, that's my stress reliever.
Speaker 5: So do you have a specific process, Like do you
Speaker 5: ever still go back and visit family in Philly to
Speaker 5: like get some get some light core material.
Speaker 1: Nah? I mean, you know, I just I think when
Speaker 1: you're when you're doing a lot in general, you're you're
Speaker 1: always in the space of creative thinking, right, Like, if
Speaker 1: you're NonStop, I'm not in the house like I'm I'm traveling,
Speaker 1: I'm around people like you're. If you're constantly around and
Speaker 1: you're constantly seeing things like, that's where your ideas are
Speaker 1: coming from. That's where the urge to talk about more
Speaker 1: shit happens, whether young energy or old energy, that's where
Speaker 1: my appetite to go, Oh fuck, that's funny, let me
Speaker 1: let me go on stage. I'm gonna see who this
Speaker 1: is or oh god, this is actually this is a
Speaker 1: new fucking like this is a new bait or possible
Speaker 1: like idea to get to the bait so I can
Speaker 1: fucking get like some dope shit. Once I get excited
Speaker 1: about it, then I'm I'm hitting around running. But it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not family generated, it's travel generated. Where am I
Speaker 1: going with? Am I experiencing? Who am I around?
Speaker 3: Did you had Damon way and say that he would
Speaker 3: never do a stand up anymore because.
Speaker 2: He was like, people are too sensitive, people are stupid?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, basically, you know he says anything, people get
Speaker 3: offended too fast, and it's like it's just not worth
Speaker 3: the distress.
Speaker 1: Uh, I understand, I mean I'm not. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see it the same way because I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have that level of give a fuck of
Speaker 1: I don't want to do the thing that I love
Speaker 1: to do because I'm caring so much about what everybody
Speaker 1: else is thinking about what I'm doing.
Speaker 5: Like, I don't I think he meant that on you
Speaker 5: know how the wayne's used to be like they no limit,
Speaker 5: like you talk about anything. But now that since the
Speaker 5: new trend is being offended and a lot of people
Speaker 5: are just you know, it is what it.
Speaker 1: Is though communities. I mean, Dame is Dame. Dame is
Speaker 1: a legend. Like if Dame wanted to go on stage
Speaker 1: and fucking around, Dame can do what he wants when
Speaker 1: he wants. Uh, you know the idea of people being
Speaker 1: upset or or fucking triggered. If you're thinking about that, like,
Speaker 1: then you're you're going down a crazy spiral. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing comedy and thinking about the thought of
Speaker 1: what you think about what I'm saying like I'm I
Speaker 1: have the things I want to talk about. I know
Speaker 1: the direction I want to go in. I'm not here
Speaker 1: to offend. I'm not here to aggravate or his people
Speaker 1: off I'm here to do my craft.
Speaker 2: Do you can get away with anything if it's actually funny.
Speaker 1: If it's fun if it's funny and it's coming from
Speaker 1: a genuine like I'm not being malicious like now, if
Speaker 1: you're if your intent is to be malicious behind set
Speaker 1: thing and there's no real humor attached to it, it's
Speaker 1: just an angry, fucking suggestion, and that's different. But I'm
Speaker 1: not in that space.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not doing Last time you've been angry.
Speaker 1: Last time've been angry. It's been a minute. Man, it's
Speaker 1: been a minute. I don't get what what do you think?
Speaker 1: Like what are you angry about? Like why? Why? Why
Speaker 1: are you letting things drive you to the point of
Speaker 1: a level of anger that prevents you from doing something else?
Speaker 1: Like it takes so much energy to be angry?
Speaker 4: Or do you have something that when you even get
Speaker 4: to that point, Like is it the gym?
Speaker 2: Is it your kids? Is it the stage?
Speaker 1: Like I don't I know this is gonna sound crazy.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that pressing to make me angry. You can
Speaker 1: have a moment, you can frustrated for a moment, but
Speaker 1: then I'm a solution oriented That's what I mean. Likes
Speaker 1: this Okay. If something happened and it's upset, all right,
Speaker 1: well why like why did it happen? Like anything? It's
Speaker 1: all office or business related, so like well why all right?
Speaker 1: Well now that is the case, Like what are we
Speaker 1: doing to basically get outside this box? How can I
Speaker 1: help get outside the box? Like me being upset at
Speaker 1: you doing your mistake doesn't change the mistake. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if this is a mistake you always make.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we got to remove you. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: but that's business. I'm not angry about the choice, but
Speaker 1: it's a it's a professional solve.
Speaker 3: Have you apologized yet to Delaware State University.
Speaker 1: For what Sean Jackson said?
Speaker 2: You was sorry?
Speaker 1: Sewn Jackson said, oh sorry, Oh he's talk about when
Speaker 1: I said, uh.
Speaker 2: I forgot what he said. That's not a college.
Speaker 1: It's not a real college. A bunch of niggas, a
Speaker 1: bunch of it's a bunch of niggas on the camp.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, it is all right, but
Speaker 1: it's like smart people there too. We're talking about I
Speaker 1: used to go to Delaware State all the time. I'm
Speaker 1: performed there several times from Philadelphias right up the street.
Speaker 1: Delaware State knows. I have no ill will towards them.
Speaker 1: I love you guys, but it was a funny bit.
Speaker 1: A lot of niggas out there.
Speaker 5: You guys, you animated show out little Yes, talk about your.
Speaker 6: Life growing up?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: What made you want to do that animation style?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Crazy? This has been a this is like, this is
Speaker 1: a crazy development, man. This is I want to say,
Speaker 1: like seven to eight years in the making before we
Speaker 1: could actually do it properly. Shouts out to to Scott
Speaker 1: Mills over there at bt Man for understanding like my
Speaker 1: world of want and allowing me to do it the
Speaker 1: way I wanted to do it. You know, it's an
Speaker 1: a doubt animation, uh, And I wanted to like flip
Speaker 1: the story of the conversation attached to the hood, right,
Speaker 1: Like everybody talks about the hood from one point of view.
Speaker 1: You know, the hood is the hood, and people like
Speaker 1: the hood is fucked up, it's so bad.
Speaker 2: But what you niggas neighborhood?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, and I think that there's a there's a
Speaker 1: positive side to it. You know, there's a there's a
Speaker 1: role that everybody plays in the hood, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to kids, families, Like everybody's part of the village.
Speaker 1: Everybody's raising everybody's child, everybody is aware, everybody's in the know.
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying their best to service and need a good
Speaker 1: and even bad shit is happening, you know, when people
Speaker 1: find out, there is an energy attached to trying to
Speaker 1: solve it and make it better. And this is a
Speaker 1: way of just flipping the conversation on the hood upside down.
Speaker 1: So it's about me, my upbringing being in the hood,
Speaker 1: but having such a high level of love for the hood,
Speaker 1: for my family and for all the people around it.
Speaker 2: And just Larius is in it keeping her away from
Speaker 2: breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Come on, just don't listen to that.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't listen when people say, like I want to
Speaker 1: make something very clear, when people say like, yeah, thank
Speaker 1: you for giving people a job people earn them, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not giving thank you anything. I'm not out like,
Speaker 1: hey here, just here's a fucking gift. Like that's just
Speaker 1: that's her team, that's people working and saying, hey, this,
Speaker 1: it's a good thing to possibly put just up for process.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could say no, but when people are
Speaker 1: talented and earning things on their own, it's happening the
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to be. I'm not I'm not in
Speaker 1: the space of know of everything and I'm hand picking
Speaker 1: people and doing like that's what that would mean that
Speaker 1: I'm fucking I mean the time and the day to
Speaker 1: do that and do it and do it and do it.
Speaker 1: Then that means that the people around me aren't doing
Speaker 1: what the fuck they're supposed to do. So it's your
Speaker 1: job to like properly package and you know, put people
Speaker 1: in places to make these projects good and it's my
Speaker 1: job to see it. At the end stage, we're going, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is a great cast, these are great personnel, great roles.
Speaker 1: I like this. I like this configuration. But justice earning
Speaker 1: it definitely giving anything.
Speaker 4: And you know, you do take the time to pour
Speaker 4: into the next generation. You know, drewski was up here
Speaker 4: and Drewskie said that you gave him and Kis and
Speaker 4: not a bunch of movies to watch and told them
Speaker 4: to get you stud whatever your stupid ass is doing
Speaker 4: right now, watch these movies. Yeah, and prepare for the
Speaker 4: next level.
Speaker 1: That's uh, you know, I like, I like, I like
Speaker 1: what the younger generation is doing. It's crazy I'm saying that,
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm really am a part of like a
Speaker 1: time of old forty five. Well doesn't look it, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh that that that older generation of like how we
Speaker 1: approach the business, how we approach the craft right like,
Speaker 1: And I think it's dope as fuck to see this
Speaker 1: new generation navigate differently, like like the comedians of today
Speaker 1: did not go and you know work at it the
Speaker 1: same way that we did. Like they're they're breaking new ground,
Speaker 1: finding ways to be the personalities first and then get
Speaker 1: to the stage after and the way they're engaging with
Speaker 1: their audience and the way that the audience is responding
Speaker 1: to them. I think it's dope as fuck, So, you know,
Speaker 1: and being a fan of it, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: my job now to figure out ways to like grab
Speaker 1: this personnel when it where I can, and you know,
Speaker 1: try to push him forward with Kai and Drewski. Kai
Speaker 1: is such a monster man, Like I think people realize
Speaker 1: how big Kai's audience is.
Speaker 2: Yes, we do.
Speaker 1: Kai's fan base is insane. Like you're talking about somebody
Speaker 1: that's talking in front of a computer for hours on end,
Speaker 1: and you know, he holds anywhere between three and fo
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people the eight to twelve hour periods that
Speaker 1: don't move. Like when we did those streams, you know,
Speaker 1: you're putting up Super Bowl like numbers. We had at
Speaker 1: one point, like nine hundred thousand people in a fucking
Speaker 1: stream watching for hours on end. So I told him,
Speaker 1: I said, look, man, I want to show you guys
Speaker 1: ways to like give your audience more and ways to
Speaker 1: do more. So I came up, like with some dope
Speaker 1: ass ideas concepts for us to rock in together, but
Speaker 1: stay true to the space of what they're doing. So Drewski,
Speaker 1: I know he came and he was like, telling you
Speaker 1: guys about the movie. I don't want to tell you'all
Speaker 1: what it is, but it's a big, big idea that
Speaker 1: we're working now. But I was like, to do it.
Speaker 1: You guys got to educate yourself on things in this space.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't homework. I was like, understand production, Understand
Speaker 1: how movies are made, Understand the look and feel, so
Speaker 1: that when we're talking and ide eating, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Like I don't want to talk to
Speaker 1: you and you got to go backwards and track what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. So the homework quote unquote, the homework
Speaker 1: was more about get this concept and then like let's
Speaker 1: get to the table and let's make the shit funny.
Speaker 1: But I got them really like creating the shit and
Speaker 1: developing it and not because you know, it's a chore
Speaker 1: a task. It's like, I want you to be a
Speaker 1: part of the process so you can understand the process.
Speaker 1: And after you do this with me, go do it yourself.
Speaker 1: Go do it and figure out ways to you know,
Speaker 1: do it with the other people that you're around. But
Speaker 1: I think they're fucking talented I think Jewickey is a start.
Speaker 1: I think Juwickey's a funny fucking guy man. Naturally. I
Speaker 1: think they're fucking like natural talents, and in this it's
Speaker 1: like putting them in a position to be what they
Speaker 1: are and be the first to come over the bridge
Speaker 1: from that space of streaming whatever. Like what mister Beasts
Speaker 1: is doing is dope. This game show, big game show.
Speaker 1: He's taking everything and the idea of game prize. He
Speaker 1: he redefined it right, like, if you really watch it,
Speaker 1: what he's done. He redefined the concept of game game show.
Speaker 1: We've seen it for years on Who Wants to Be
Speaker 1: a Millionaire and all these other shows, but it was
Speaker 1: a traditional there was a traditional win and here's your gift.
Speaker 1: He broke that model. I'm gonna give him some cats,
Speaker 1: some regular people, man, And he did a time at
Speaker 1: the time and time again, and then he built the
Speaker 1: big ass series and hey, man, fucking streaming platforms was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we gotta fuck with this guy. We're gonna give him X, Y,
Speaker 1: and Z to do it. We want you to do
Speaker 1: it with us. But he controls it, he owns it.
Speaker 1: So I'm showing them how to control, how to own
Speaker 1: and do bigger things so it doesn't cap out at
Speaker 1: the stream. Dreucy said, you actually set him up in
Speaker 1: that stream with that, with that, with that little kid,
Speaker 1: he said, he said, it was you. Actually, this is
Speaker 1: what that's that's what you did.
Speaker 2: You did start off, you started follow your leader.
Speaker 1: First of all, what you need to understand is where
Speaker 1: the cameras are at all times. What I said, the
Speaker 1: juice keeper was in his ear. I said something in
Speaker 1: his ear. Okay, nobody really knows what I said. He
Speaker 1: knows what I said. And then he took the liberty
Speaker 1: of going and you know, saying very harsh things. By
Speaker 1: the way, you know things. It shouldn't be walk right
Speaker 1: out like you. I mean, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: around that. I've seen a lot of people get in fights.
Speaker 1: I've seen what it's about to happen. I go, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here, right I shouldn't be here. They're about
Speaker 1: to start shooting. By the way, he's got the gun.
Speaker 1: I see it. I'm gonna leave right now. So I
Speaker 1: just exited the room because I think I think at
Speaker 1: the time, I had to go to the vathroom actually,
Speaker 1: and then a lot of stuff from what I was
Speaker 1: told happened from what I was told. The kids started
Speaker 1: crying and stuff like that, and I came back. I
Speaker 1: came back and I was like, what's going on? At
Speaker 1: that time, I'm the adult in the room trying to
Speaker 1: calm ship down, right, man, what's happening? And I think
Speaker 1: all the cameras caught me saying that, which is good
Speaker 1: for me legally, so I was never attached.
Speaker 4: Jukie said he felt like he could make those jokes
Speaker 4: because he's fat and y'all were teasing him all day
Speaker 4: about being fat or juicy.
Speaker 1: First of all, calling people fat is that's aggressive.
Speaker 2: When you saw the big thinking of you, I just
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: I just want to know what I'm saying. Juicy big
Speaker 1: a little bigger, right becase he had problems breathing when
Speaker 1: he walks up steps. Yeah, of course, But but you
Speaker 1: know that little kid, I think was on his way
Speaker 1: to a healthy lifestyle. You got to support that, right,
Speaker 1: the little kid because he was talking. I think the
Speaker 1: little kid was talking about exercising and stuff, which is good.
Speaker 1: And I'm always glad to just be on the positive
Speaker 1: side of conversation. That's what I'm about. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a beacon of light Joy.
Speaker 5: Kevin that at the level of success that you are
Speaker 5: being an actor, do you still have to audition for roles.
Speaker 1: Or absolutely not?
Speaker 6: Okay, what are you talking, La Lawrence that he had
Speaker 6: said that he does min I.
Speaker 2: Think Martin said he had to he pitches, he still got.
Speaker 1: To pitch projects that, Yeah, that makes sense if he's
Speaker 1: pitching things. I mean, am I Am I really pitching things?
Speaker 1: I think I'm pitching ideas to my team. I'm more
Speaker 1: in the business of creating the things that I think
Speaker 1: best service my want in my my direction and the business.
Speaker 1: Like when you think about the dramas, you think about
Speaker 1: all the things that I've done as serious like that's
Speaker 1: been me so true story. I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to I want to kill somebody on camera. I think
Speaker 1: it'll be dope, and I want to found a guy
Speaker 1: that created Narcos and I was like, Yo, it'll be
Speaker 1: dope as fuck if we can collab and talk. But
Speaker 1: we developed it and then I was like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is great, let's go and take this out Like that's
Speaker 1: developing it and then going to sell it. Fight night.
Speaker 1: You know that was me Will Packer, Will telling me
Speaker 1: you had the right and not saying, hey, to do it.
Speaker 1: This can be dope as fun, but let's do it
Speaker 1: this way and put the right people in it. So
Speaker 1: like the the creative side of from start to finish
Speaker 1: is where I'm playing at now. But like auditioning, I'm
Speaker 1: not really auditioning. I think people if they have a project,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, Kevin would be good for this, And
Speaker 1: I'm getting those calls, hey, we want you to do
Speaker 1: and then I got a decision of if I want
Speaker 1: to do it or not.
Speaker 6: Like fans is the upside. That's still one of my
Speaker 6: favorite movies.
Speaker 5: You and Brian Kranston, they they already saw you for
Speaker 5: that role.
Speaker 1: He said, we want to do the remake. Uh, and
Speaker 1: we see you and Brian Cranston doing this. Are you interested?
Speaker 1: And absolutely, and Nicole Kipman I was like absolutely, hands down,
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's coming out and having an ask
Speaker 1: not to saying that I wouldn't audition you would. He
Speaker 1: would try to clean it up, trying to clean it up,
Speaker 1: anybody trying to cameras there. I just wanted to look
Speaker 1: in and make it just look like I'm willing to
Speaker 1: do right. I'm not. I just want to guys, if
Speaker 1: you understand what's.
Speaker 3: What's the last time you got booed? And the reason
Speaker 3: I asked because you said you do small shows.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting booted and nobody. I'm not getting booed
Speaker 1: at this point. Like if even if jokes aren't funny,
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're getting the you're getting the credibility laughs.
Speaker 1: At at least you're trying to minimum, you're trying things out.
Speaker 1: You don't care.
Speaker 6: You don't want a damn boo either, don't care.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I have no there is no care for like
Speaker 1: the level of laughter when I'm trying to figure ship
Speaker 1: out now, but I think I've got it all done
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this set is complete. I'm going
Speaker 1: out and I'm struggling. Okay, And that's that's a little
Speaker 1: self esteem bruising if that's the case. But that's not.
Speaker 1: That hasn't been the case ever. Like when you when
Speaker 1: you work the ship and you done worked on the
Speaker 1: craft and I'm like, Okay, I got it, I got
Speaker 1: it down. This is my set. No, you're not. You're
Speaker 1: not running into them problems. Now do you get an
Speaker 1: occasional person that you got to deal with in the crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that stuff isn't booing. That's like you know, atmosphere
Speaker 1: that's heckling or somebody yelling out and looking for a moment.
Speaker 1: Every once a while, you got to show that you
Speaker 1: still got that and you know, you put people in
Speaker 1: a place comedically and then you move on with the set.
Speaker 2: But booing, Now, what about like social media?
Speaker 4: Backlund because everybody, for whatever reason was highly upset when
Speaker 4: you hosted a NBA All Star Weekend. There was a
Speaker 4: a section of the internet that was acting like they
Speaker 4: were you know, you know.
Speaker 1: What what do you what do you? What energy do
Speaker 1: you give that I'm a partner to the NBA, Like,
Speaker 1: understand what that means. I'm not I'm not coming on
Speaker 1: to be Kevin Hart and have funny moments to the NBA.
Speaker 1: The NBA has been a servicing aid to my career
Speaker 1: for over fifteen years. Like you go back and you'll
Speaker 1: look at how much I've been on NBA T and
Speaker 1: T and All Star Weekend, celebrity weekends, all these events
Speaker 1: like this you're not looking at. It's it's almost host adjacent, right,
Speaker 1: Like the personalities that we lean on because we're familiar
Speaker 1: with family and we know how they work. That's what
Speaker 1: that is. So the All Star I'm not going to
Speaker 1: the All Star Game to trying to create a big
Speaker 1: moment for me. I'm there because the energy of the
Speaker 1: All Star Game comes with Chuck, Ernie Kenney, myself, Shack
Speaker 1: like we've been doing this for years, Like just talking
Speaker 1: and playing with one another, bantering on camera. That's not
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do. They make it look fucking easy.
Speaker 1: They make it look great. That's not an easy.
Speaker 6: Thing between you and shit, yeah, that's very easy.
Speaker 1: That's not fucking an easy thing to do. Like that chemistry,
Speaker 1: that rapport. It comes from like having a real understanding
Speaker 1: for how TV works. So you can't just throw new
Speaker 1: things in there because it gets weird. People don't understand
Speaker 1: the times, peoplen't understand the cuts, how much time you
Speaker 1: gotta go cut back to the game. They're trying to
Speaker 1: do so much new shit, they're trying to discover it.
Speaker 1: So why they're trying to figure it out. Here's personality
Speaker 1: that we can lean on, so at least we don't
Speaker 1: have dead space or dull moments on camera. That's that's
Speaker 1: what that is. So when you understand the tech, the
Speaker 1: coalnity behind it. Then you you understand my involvement. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't feed into the other ship like I know
Speaker 1: why I'm there, partnership.
Speaker 4: Do you ever tell Shack to like really back up
Speaker 4: off you could he be kind of sexually assaulting you
Speaker 4: in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Come on. Only one time with Shack has done some
Speaker 1: crazy ship where I was uncomfortable was Real Husbands when
Speaker 1: that whole thing that's on the internet that they that
Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't scripted. It was a moment, but honestly,
Speaker 1: be real, I couldn't do nothing about it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: gotta cut. This is you know before just before I
Speaker 1: put a little size on not to say I could
Speaker 1: do something to shock, but I didn't. You know, it
Speaker 1: was a very frail version of me. And you know
Speaker 1: it was this is when Shaq was like when they
Speaker 1: were like just talking about Shaq being a cop and
Speaker 1: he really was a cop. To be funny as fuck,
Speaker 1: Shack pulled me over on Real Husbands of Hollywood and
Speaker 1: you know, like Shack is like basically about the arrestment
Speaker 1: and he fucking you know, everybody can't improv the you
Speaker 1: don't even have to say this we're not even to
Speaker 1: discussing people.
Speaker 2: Who haven't seen it. A great show. You should. It's
Speaker 2: a great show, but it's not online.
Speaker 1: But we're not gonna do is make it scene like something.
Speaker 1: So but what he did was he grabbed me when
Speaker 1: I got out the car and he just tried to
Speaker 1: get a little physical right. It was like you down.
Speaker 1: But it's like like everybody doesn't improve the same comedy.
Speaker 1: Comedy is an art. Like you ever see comedians when
Speaker 1: they try to like improvate, some of them go too
Speaker 1: far or they don't know when to stop, like, hey man,
Speaker 1: we got it in the scene, like you can't go
Speaker 1: over there like oh yeah, well your mama And you're like, well,
Speaker 1: you can't break up moms because we don't know who
Speaker 1: our moms are in the scene.
Speaker 4: It's like I just googled it and it says hashtag
Speaker 4: calls of the week.
Speaker 2: Hey yo, nah shock you straighted by lady Kevin Hart.
Speaker 2: You literally took that man in the pound town.
Speaker 1: This is this is what you're doing. That's actually that's
Speaker 1: actually nuts. That's nuts. That's what he He grabbed me.
Speaker 1: He grabbed me, throws me over the over the carr
Speaker 1: and he and he he starts humping me. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I remember around face and you're gonna tell you how
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I can tell charlat Mayne,
Speaker 1: and Charlamayne is perfect like that is a nasty man
Speaker 1: like that in this brief time, I just found out
Speaker 1: a lot about him. By the way he starts describing stuff.
Speaker 1: You're very graphic, nasty man. I just told you, just
Speaker 1: describing with you. He grabbed me and he fucking like
Speaker 1: throws me over the car. He's like, you don't know what.
Speaker 1: He starts humping me. I remember Ralph that rest of
Speaker 1: the episode, right. I remember Ralph was directed episode. I
Speaker 1: remember I looked at Ralph. I'm like, hey, did y'all
Speaker 1: did joab is it pages? Something happened? And they was like, uh,
Speaker 1: they were like all right, Uh nobody wanted to say
Speaker 1: ship to Shack. They're like, all right, we got it.
Speaker 1: So let's just move on. We just we just moved
Speaker 1: on talking about that, trying.
Speaker 2: To get you again off weekend.
Speaker 1: Just shut up?
Speaker 2: Did you get triggered a little bit? I saw you.
Speaker 2: He was creeping up.
Speaker 1: That's a very I'm older and I'm in a much
Speaker 1: more controlling state in my in my life where you
Speaker 1: know I would say something to you know, don't do that.
Speaker 1: You know he got to stop it right, like a
Speaker 1: firm stop that right. But in that moment, that was
Speaker 1: shock trying to be funny. That's my that's my nigga.
Speaker 1: I have so much love.
Speaker 4: Do people know the role or just generation? Do they
Speaker 4: know the pivotal roll shock play in your career.
Speaker 1: The pivotal road And I don't think people do know
Speaker 1: the pivot? What is the pivotal role? Sounds crazy?
Speaker 2: I'm being serious.
Speaker 4: We don't know when he when he had the shock
Speaker 4: comedy All Start Weekend, Yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, and he's referring to like the special that actually launched.
Speaker 1: I would say, like the the bigger side of success
Speaker 1: to my comedy career, no bullshit is Shacks All Star
Speaker 1: Comedy Jail. That was a phenix you know what crazy thing.
Speaker 1: I did it as a favor. It was a favor
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh man, I can't really do shit.
Speaker 1: I'm about to drop my special, so I don't really
Speaker 1: want to like go and do this. It was like, no, Kevin,
Speaker 1: come on, like we need a headline that we want
Speaker 1: you to come to be quick. And it was like
Speaker 1: just a gig an All Star weekend, you know, like
Speaker 1: we're on to tape it, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put like a different fifteen minutes on this man.
Speaker 1: And I don't really you know, I'm not really pressed to.
Speaker 1: I'm not really pressed about it like that. So I'll
Speaker 1: give you all this fifteen and I'll save the other
Speaker 1: shit for my special. So it's like a toss away set.
Speaker 1: It was a toss away fifteen minutes set, like a
Speaker 1: backlog set. I was like, I get all this and
Speaker 1: shit ended up being the biggest. So shouts out to
Speaker 1: the big dummy himself.
Speaker 4: I want to go back to number one on the
Speaker 4: call sheet because Sterling K. Brown did an interview with
Speaker 4: He said that people wanted to put him number one
Speaker 4: in the call sheets, but he was superstitious about it
Speaker 4: because he'd been successful enough not being number one, so
Speaker 4: he was okay with being number two.
Speaker 2: What do you think of that?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: as somebody that's been there. When when you're there and
Speaker 1: you've you've experienced whatever the conversation attached to it is,
Speaker 1: it's not the same level of important, right, like it's
Speaker 1: it's not important, like I was joking about earlier about
Speaker 1: the idea of number one of culture, but it's not
Speaker 1: that important to me. I don't. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care about top billing. I don't
Speaker 1: need my name to be first. I don't need my
Speaker 1: name to be the biggest when they first put the
Speaker 1: movie or the TV show out, Like, if that's more
Speaker 1: important to you, I'm like, all right, let them get it.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really, I don't really give a fuck,
Speaker 1: and not in a dismissive way. But if that's what
Speaker 1: you need to make you feel better, to make you
Speaker 1: feel like a valuable piece to the puzzle of this project,
Speaker 1: absolutely give it to them. Like I can. I can
Speaker 1: take those back steps because you've been there, Like it's
Speaker 1: like the idea of start them, it's not it doesn't
Speaker 1: thrive or I'm not thriving in the space of being
Speaker 1: a star, like you've you've been there. I could give
Speaker 1: a fuck. Like you condemn the light as much as
Speaker 1: you want, I don't. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's like you,
Speaker 1: you don't, it doesn't. It's not driving my reason to
Speaker 1: get up in do so I think what Sterling is
Speaker 1: referring to, it's saying like, look, man, I don't really
Speaker 1: like that I've done it. It's better for me to
Speaker 1: do this. Let somebody else deal with all the headache
Speaker 1: of vat that's what he's doing and shouts out to
Speaker 1: them too. Man, the show is incredible right now.
Speaker 2: So when you in the rock do a movie, who's
Speaker 2: number one on the coature?
Speaker 1: I let him get it? But he's DJ's an asshole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's an ass Let him get it.
Speaker 2: I'm joking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, DJ, by the way, he trumps me every time.
Speaker 1: What do you mean, it's not even conversation. I don't
Speaker 1: even bring it up.
Speaker 2: You number one on this right because the box office numbers, like,
Speaker 2: how do they?
Speaker 1: I think he deserves to be number one when we
Speaker 1: do the project. He's an international superstar. Not to say
Speaker 1: that I don't have international success, but I don't think
Speaker 1: that we're equal in that regard. I think that his
Speaker 1: movies have performed and done crazy business internationally. Uh, and
Speaker 1: when we do the projects that we want to appeal
Speaker 1: to the world, you should be first. I'm coming in
Speaker 1: and I'm on that train with you. I'm adding value
Speaker 1: to it, But I'm not bumped by you being first.
Speaker 1: We put an amazing cast together to help us get
Speaker 1: those audiences when we do. But I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: feel any type way about that. I think he deserves
Speaker 1: it and he should have it.
Speaker 4: Congratulations too, man, you got is announced that you're working
Speaker 4: with the Indiana Paces.
Speaker 1: Now I'm beat working with the Pacers.
Speaker 2: Heart Heartbeat entertainment, heartbeat. Is it working with the Paces?
Speaker 1: Yes, heart beat it.
Speaker 4: To be the official cultural curator to provide entertainment and
Speaker 4: live experiences for fans in the Indianapolis CAUs.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, what.
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: What does the seventy six about?
Speaker 2: We're speeding with the question. First of all, what does
Speaker 2: that look like?
Speaker 1: It's an opportunity for our company, right like you're. Our
Speaker 1: company is a creative engine for any resource that allows
Speaker 1: us to be right like we are a business. So
Speaker 1: our business thrives when we can implement ourselves in places
Speaker 1: to create or elevate a brand, a company, an entity
Speaker 1: and activation, whether it be live entertainment, storytelling, etc. Indiana
Speaker 1: with the Pacers and the Fever have an attraction coming.
Speaker 1: I think they have an all star coming up. But
Speaker 1: it's more about they're like, look, we're looking for ways
Speaker 1: to expand and elevate what we've done. They spent a
Speaker 1: lot of money on a new facility. They have a
Speaker 1: team that's thriving, a younger team the Fever or thriving
Speaker 1: with star power, etc. So they're like, how do we elevate?
Speaker 1: How can we better tell our story? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's what we do, you know, and me having relationships
Speaker 1: with you know, the owner of the team and presidents
Speaker 1: of the teams or cmos that are a part of
Speaker 1: those entities, It's like, look, that's what we do. We
Speaker 1: tell stories very well. So to market, promote and better
Speaker 1: define that for you, that's our business. Let us show
Speaker 1: you how we can make that business a service to you.
Speaker 1: And they gave an opportunity and I was like, dope,
Speaker 1: let our company do it. So it's not a Kevin
Speaker 1: Hart thing, like everybody assumes that Kevin Hart is the
Speaker 1: driving factor or the source. It's the entity. The entity
Speaker 1: has to do things outside of me, our entity to
Speaker 1: fucking thrive. Like that's a fact. So whether it's the
Speaker 1: fucking Pacers, I got business with the Falcons, I got
Speaker 1: business with the Eagles, the Giants, that's one that I
Speaker 1: don't know if I would touch because they don't know
Speaker 1: good stuff. They may let me go, but it's it's
Speaker 1: it's how many of those can I do? Step and repeat?
Speaker 1: So the Pacers will use as an example once we
Speaker 1: do it well, and from that example, I'll go to
Speaker 1: other fucking NBA teams or the NBA in general, Like
Speaker 1: I'm looking to be a better partner for the NBA.
Speaker 1: How do we better tell stories for your brand? How
Speaker 1: do we better promote and market you? How can we
Speaker 1: amplify or activate differently? Like these are words in the
Speaker 1: business that companies desperately want to hear from potential party.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting question because what you about to say
Speaker 2: about the.
Speaker 3: Sixers not just saying how did the seventy sixers feel
Speaker 3: like that? Because you are such a seventy six's fan,
Speaker 3: I feel like they might look at it like why
Speaker 3: you over there and mess with them?
Speaker 2: You hear this is home because it's heart Beat the
Speaker 2: company and Kevin Hart the individual.
Speaker 1: I promise you that they wouldn't even blink an eye
Speaker 1: because they understand business. Kevin Hard is still a seventy
Speaker 1: sixers fan. His company, Heartbeat, is doing a service for
Speaker 1: another company. Hey, keV you think you could do this
Speaker 1: for us too? Would your company be interested in doing this? Absolutely, guys,
Speaker 1: this is not anything Kevin is specific. I'm still going
Speaker 1: to Sixers games. I still sit courtside trash right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we're not We're not in the
Speaker 1: best position. But I'm still a fan. I'm I'm an
Speaker 1: Eagles fan. But if there's business that can be done
Speaker 1: for another NFL entity that wants to tell stories, well
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell those stories for the entity. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that our brand can't do that. It's a company,
Speaker 1: you know. I know that you guys were talking to
Speaker 1: Mic about it. You're like, yo, is that crazy? Like
Speaker 1: this isn't Kevin Hart. I'm not. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: the to the Pacers and man, it's time for me
Speaker 1: to check narrative. Oh, this is what my company does.
Speaker 1: Is that simple, well, heartbeat call Mike Epps to do
Speaker 1: absolutely like we By the way, if you here's here's
Speaker 1: an example, right if All Star weekend is coming up
Speaker 1: there and we're like, okay, hey, we have ideas to
Speaker 1: service a bigger like a bigger process that people can
Speaker 1: probably gravitate towards a little different from what they've done
Speaker 1: in the past. Here's how we're gonna make the All
Speaker 1: Star weekend in Indiana when the women are playing. Here's
Speaker 1: how we can make it different. Here's what we can
Speaker 1: bring to the table, women round tables, a women, cold
Speaker 1: as balls, et cetera. Is there a comedy activation women forwarded?
Speaker 1: Does Mike want to bring and be responsible for comedy
Speaker 1: from Indian Absolutely? Like that's when you tap in. All
Speaker 1: you are is the servicing hub. We're the hub. Now
Speaker 1: it's our job to go and grab everybody to make
Speaker 1: this thing underneath the hub better. It's not you desperately
Speaker 1: need that. So in this case, hell yeah, Mike. Come on, Mike.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is your city. What's dope about
Speaker 1: the city that we can do with you? What do
Speaker 1: you want to do? How do we help you? Like,
Speaker 1: that's that's partnership. But if the thought triggers you at first,
Speaker 1: what this is my saying, well, then you don't even
Speaker 1: you don't even get to the next stage of opportunity.
Speaker 1: The opportunity comes from understanding the idea, Oh oh do
Speaker 1: I can't I can do something? Oh bet? And I
Speaker 1: want to do this too? Absolutely. Here, here's how we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Like that's that's business. That's how business
Speaker 1: is done. That's how you get to the place of success.
Speaker 5: So there just hasn't been an opportunity for Heartbeat to
Speaker 5: call Mike yet.
Speaker 1: No, just we literally just have We just did the deal, gotcha.
Speaker 1: And now that we are doing the deal, well, now
Speaker 1: you got to tap in to the culture of the city.
Speaker 1: You had to tap into popular names and faces from
Speaker 1: the city. You got to tap into the athletes that
Speaker 1: are the stars in the city. Now you go and
Speaker 1: you say, guys, here's what we're thinking of. Here's how
Speaker 1: we make this special. But here's how we do it
Speaker 1: with you. Is this a collaborative thing that makes sense
Speaker 1: for you? Dope? Okay? If so, great, If not, well
Speaker 1: what does cool? Okay, we like that. All right, let's bill, let's.
Speaker 2: Expand he's gonna call you to do something.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean me and Mike's relationship now we're we're
Speaker 1: ten times. But it took a long time to get
Speaker 1: to where we are now. But I'm I'm happy at
Speaker 1: the road of like dumb shit because it got us
Speaker 1: to a place of real grown man shit. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's not We're not We're not doing the dumb
Speaker 1: like tweets and shit, no more like Mike call me,
Speaker 1: I'm calling you and we we talked, so you know
Speaker 1: when that did, Mike was the first one we got
Speaker 1: on the phone. We had a conversation, and me and
Speaker 1: Mike are are very much on the same page. And
Speaker 1: I think, you know, a lot of the disconnect's from
Speaker 1: assumption and and that's what that's the realization that came about.
Speaker 1: But I have no it will no be towards anybody,
Speaker 1: damn sure, not Mike. And you know, right now, the
Speaker 1: priority between me and Mike are figuring out the thing
Speaker 1: that we're going to do together. And you know, I
Speaker 1: told Mike like it's a it's a real thing, Like
Speaker 1: we haven't done it because of this disconnecting our relationship.
Speaker 1: We've never been on screen together. We did Real Husbands
Speaker 1: together in the beginning. Mike did an episode and that's
Speaker 1: the only time when we've ever jousted it on camera.
Speaker 1: And I was like, at this point in our career,
Speaker 1: like we're we're not fucking nobody but ourselves, So you know,
Speaker 1: how do we make it work? And he's like, yeah, keV,
Speaker 1: like how do we make it work, And it's a
Speaker 1: it's a mutual understanding. And I think now having that
Speaker 1: as a priority, his fans will be happy. My fans,
Speaker 1: I think will be happy, and I think it'd be
Speaker 1: dope for the culture when we do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where is that version of hallm Nights for this era?
Speaker 1: It's hard, it's hard to happen because the idea of
Speaker 1: it being just one is what people can't let go of,
Speaker 1: which mean like that doesn't have to be this one star.
Speaker 3: But Harll of Knights wasn't just one star.
Speaker 1: That's why I worked, That's why I worked. Richard didn't
Speaker 1: give a fuck about Eddie. Eddie didn't give a fuck
Speaker 1: about Richard, right, like the two biggest fucking comedians you know,
Speaker 1: minus the bullshit. The only person that was missing that
Speaker 1: should have been in that, you know, Cosby in some
Speaker 1: degree right a showing of him. But they had Red Fox,
Speaker 1: Robert fucking Harris. Like if you go on, you look
Speaker 1: at the names, you know, fucking Dela Rees like you
Speaker 1: you look at the names and the people in Harlem Knights.
Speaker 1: You looked at a fucking conglomerate cast of hard hitting
Speaker 1: comics of color. We don't have that to date. The
Speaker 1: attempts to do it. Shouts out to Chris rock Top five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: putting comics in. Whether you are a fan of the
Speaker 1: movie or not, the attempt was I want to see
Speaker 1: I want to see comics of color share the screen together,
Speaker 1: and I want to get down. Tracy Leslie like I
Speaker 1: want to get down. Let's let's go back and forth.
Speaker 1: Let's do some ship Death of the Funeral. Chris attempted
Speaker 1: to put comics together. There's not a lot of the damn.
Speaker 2: I would say life to a certain extent.
Speaker 1: Life is dope. But you had Eddie and you had
Speaker 1: Martine Guy Tory, and you know, we didn't we didn't
Speaker 1: have like a woman a woman figure in life. But
Speaker 1: I think, like you've seen the attempt, but there is
Speaker 1: no like, there is no initiative where it's like, Okay, look,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna fucking share the same level of pay.
Speaker 1: We're all going to play on the back end. This
Speaker 1: is how I would approach it. Everybody's gonna win on
Speaker 1: the back end. Okay, let's remove money from the idea.
Speaker 1: This isn't about who's getting the money or who's doing what.
Speaker 1: It's about the project. So we're gonna do our best
Speaker 1: in this project to put people position to win. Winning
Speaker 1: mean memorable moments, that's funny, et cetera. But to do
Speaker 1: it right, everybody's not gonna be on the same page
Speaker 1: like you kind of. You gotta have an understanding of
Speaker 1: who has to carry the weight here for the people
Speaker 1: here to fucking get in and get down. When you
Speaker 1: can have that conversation and people are okay with it,
Speaker 1: all right, it's great, but that conversation can never be
Speaker 1: had because people are bumped out the gate. I ain't
Speaker 1: work with him, I ain't work with her. I ain't
Speaker 1: doing mother fuck that they got me like, I ain't.
Speaker 1: I ain't the funny. I'm like you, you can't even
Speaker 1: get to the fucking second page.
Speaker 5: And even when it comes to like the younger comics, man,
Speaker 5: it's been a few of uh like like DC young
Speaker 5: Fly has countless scripts that he has and he's trying
Speaker 5: to get all of us like in this generation, but
Speaker 5: egos and and I wish she gonna be getting and
Speaker 5: who's gonna be the main character?
Speaker 6: I ain't working with her or how he you know
Speaker 6: what I mean?
Speaker 1: So the problem with the with the younger generation of comics. Man,
Speaker 1: I made money so fast, good money, yeah, like not
Speaker 1: like not little money. They made money so fast. So
Speaker 1: it's definitely the idea of doing that for that fuck
Speaker 1: that I do it. I'm over here again. It's like
Speaker 1: the identity come here. I mean, just just made money,
Speaker 1: still making money, right, Like, just understands that road money.
Speaker 1: That road money is a different type of money. These
Speaker 1: comics or new comics influencers turn com I'm making real money.
Speaker 1: So until you get to a point where you understand
Speaker 1: the money isn't going to drive your next stage of success.
Speaker 1: If your next stage of success or want for success
Speaker 1: is attached to IP projects, whatever, you cannot do it
Speaker 1: by yourself. You need the helping aid of other talent.
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck who you are. I'm saying
Speaker 1: this as a pounds a pound conglomerate in the business,
Speaker 1: respectfully and humbly, a conglomerate. I stacked the deck. I'm
Speaker 1: not looking to fucking be on screen and be the
Speaker 1: only personals. I stack the fucking deck winning where I can,
Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm very I'm very thankful to
Speaker 1: the other names that are willing to come and work
Speaker 1: with me and do things with me. I was excited.
Speaker 1: Samuel L. Jackson is doing Thank you God, sam Don Chittle,
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, Taraji, Oh thank you, Terrence, thank you
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm thankful. You cannot be the only one
Speaker 1: into that younger generation. My message to so many funny
Speaker 1: like I can go down the list, DC young Fly,
Speaker 1: he just mentioned Country, Wayne does he Banks, fucking Drew Ski,
Speaker 1: Coss not just you got pretty v you gotta be small.
Speaker 1: You got all of these fucking Carlos, Ryan Davis right
Speaker 1: here eighty five thought all those guys, you got all
Speaker 1: these fucking great new emerging pieces of talent. Want to
Speaker 1: tell you right now, talent caps out where it is
Speaker 1: when what you do is all you think you should do.
Speaker 1: In other words, like if I'm just doing stand up
Speaker 1: comedy and then doing stand up comedy, I do the
Speaker 1: theaters and the arenas, Okay, I can't do that every year,
Speaker 1: and that's it. It will flatline, it will die down
Speaker 1: at some point, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but
Speaker 1: at some point it will digress. So if you don't offload,
Speaker 1: and you don't figure out I'm tapping into this, and
Speaker 1: I'm tapping into this, I'm tapping into that this thing
Speaker 1: there's one source of energy that you have, it'll get
Speaker 1: a little dim. That light ain't gonna fucking flicker the same.
Speaker 1: So if they don't tap into each other and figure
Speaker 1: out the way to make each other a valuable resource
Speaker 1: and asset, it will tap out. We're assets to one another,
Speaker 1: Like say what you want man, the rock or assets
Speaker 1: to one another? Man, dj Ain and I we will
Speaker 1: get on the phone. Were talking now, Hey man, it's
Speaker 1: harm of for us to do something. You gotta figure
Speaker 1: out the next thing. What you're thinking. I don't know
Speaker 1: is that Jumiji three is another part what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're thinking. Let's talk. Let's figure
Speaker 1: it out. Hey man, you know who I want to
Speaker 1: work with? Who I haven't worked with? Man, Men, interest,
Speaker 1: I gotta get down with I' yet to do something.
Speaker 1: I'm tapping into other energy. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: the only source of energy. That's the only way that
Speaker 1: you continue to move forward. Writers, producers, I want to
Speaker 1: work with you, man, you're doing amazing things. You're an
Speaker 1: amazing writer. How do I work with you? Ki? You're
Speaker 1: doing amazing shit in the streaming space? Man, I got
Speaker 1: some shit to show you I'm gonna work with you
Speaker 1: like you. You gotta tap in. That's what people are
Speaker 1: afraid to do, and they're afraid to do it, especially
Speaker 1: in our culture because we feel like there can only
Speaker 1: be one right.
Speaker 4: That's some good as advice too, though, because you know
Speaker 4: that is the toughest thing trying to convince this this
Speaker 4: generation that there is another level and what you're doing
Speaker 4: does have an expiration d If you don't diversify your portfolio.
Speaker 1: It's building correctly. And by the way, don't have to
Speaker 1: do it all in one day.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm almost thirty years strong in this fucking business.
Speaker 1: Don't You don't have to do it all in one day.
Speaker 1: The discovery is exciting when you start to figure it
Speaker 1: out and you start to see the things that you're
Speaker 1: changing or things that you're driving towards work. That's the
Speaker 1: exciting part. And the exciting part is that you're like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, I actually can't do the shit that I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about, Like, oh fuck damn. I started off doing
Speaker 1: these videos and now the videos have turned into a business,
Speaker 1: but now the business has turned into a touring job.
Speaker 1: Now my radio job fucking all sets promotes the fucking touring.
Speaker 1: By the way, my businesses are connecting. The dots are connecting.
Speaker 1: Say what you want. You can hate me or you
Speaker 1: can love me. I connect dots. I connect dots very well.
Speaker 1: Every piece of this machine somehow connects in some way,
Speaker 1: in some shape, in some form. So at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, if this piece dies, well you can't
Speaker 1: kill this one. If this one dies and this one dies,
Speaker 1: well I got this one. If these three die, well,
Speaker 1: they don't know I got these. The dots are important, man,
Speaker 1: and that younger mindset in this business today is a
Speaker 1: cash driven mind. The money will come. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: the money will come. The ideas don't have relationships, and
Speaker 1: partnerships don't. That's the difference.
