Speaker 1: Thank you for coming back. Part two is Underweight. Jim

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Carrey played your brother, the oldest brother, Keenan. I think

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: the greatest compliment that anybody can pay. He said, I

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: wouldn't be successful without your brother.

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't be successful with all my brother other

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: I think a lot of us wouldn't be successful with

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: all my brother I think my.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 3: Brother, Well, it's different from me.

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: I was nurtured, So I still think because I had

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: their guidance and then nurturing, I was gonna make it

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: regard right.

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: Believe me, you.

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Had been around them enough. But he and Damon and

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: been in that family enough, you was gonna go out there.

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: You were gonna carve your own weight. Yeah, but Jim

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: needed this opportunity. In Living Color, when you're watching, you

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: credit not just Keenan. You got a credit Dame Damon.

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Okay, because Damon did earth girls are easy with Jim Carrey,

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: and they were friends and Damon was like your Keenan.

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Damon was Keen's right hand man. That's his lieutenant on

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Lemon Color. That was his right hand Damon. And then

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Kim Kim was a soldier in that room, always writing

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: her sketches everything Kim did for the most part, she

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: wrote and created.

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: So the Keenan was like, he was like, you gotta

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 4: trust me. This white boy's funny. He's like silly puddy.

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: He twists hisself up. He could suck his own dick

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: to be tried. It was like boy crazy and.

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: Keenan was like, okay, let me see him. And then

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: Jim and he had.

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Just Hollywood didn't want on no more because he did

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: this thing called duck soup, that bomb or duck something,

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: duck factory and a bomb, and so they were cold on.

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: Him, so the network didn't want him.

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: And then Keenan saw Jim in the audition that Damon

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: brought him to and Damon was picking them up. Keenan

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: was like, he's hilarious. And then from there he put

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: him on and he let Jim buck wilder and let

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 2: me call it was a playground. Keenan always said, don't

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: just do what's on the script. He made us all

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: writers have something in your back pocket because when we

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: do second taking, third take, don't do the same thing.

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: The audience can only hear the joke one time. It's

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: on to get diminished in return, so they want to

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: hear something different, and so that's what we did.

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: Keena was a starmaker, That's what I'm saying.

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: Did you know Jim could be what he became?

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew. I knew Jim could be what he became.

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: I knew Jamie could be what he became. I knew Damon.

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: I knew everybody on that set could become anything they

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: wanted to be. Rosie Perez was the choreography, Yes, you

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,520

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: they went to dinner, they did things and then when

95
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: she kind of blew up, she kind of like brushed

96
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: them off. I know, you can only speak towards personal experience,

97
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,160

98

Speaker 1: your relationship with j Loo or have you experienced something

99
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: like that. When someone started out they were kind of small,

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: they got big, and then all of a sudden they

101
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: really didn't know who Marlin was.

102
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe they had something personal going on,

103
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, Jamie and Jaylo. I can't speak on it

104
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: because I don't know, not Jamie, I mean Tommy and

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: j Loo. You know, maybe he had a Jlo joke somewhere.

106
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, and you know, you never know what

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: could start that type of thing. But from my experience,

108
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: you know, j Lo blew up and when I saw

109
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: it's always love, always hey, how you doing house? Keenan right,

110
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: always been love. She's never been like, oh I'm above

111
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: you now, she's never been like that. In fact, my

112
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: role in Air, you know, she told Ben Affleck. He

113
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: was like, I need a good actor to do this role,

114
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: and I want somebody good looking to play George Rabling.

115
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: She's like, I need, I need this, and she said,

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: what about Marlin. He's a great dramatic actor. And so

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: Ben called me and was like, will you do this

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: role in my movie?

119
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: And it was a great role.

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: And I was like Bet and j Loo was the

121
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: one that was like, yo, you should hit Marlin. So

122
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: and then I went on press tours and I saw

123
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: her and her and Ben we sat at the same

124
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: table at the Golden Globes and love all love you

125
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I don't there's no like you know,

126
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: but look, it's hard for everybody to always give you attention,

127
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: especially when you her You're being pulled this way, you're

128
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: being pulled that way. Everybody when you want the camera

129
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: sere and this and that, and so I don't make

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: it personal. I just go maybe she's busy. I'll hit

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: that at another time. But I don't know what her

150
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: You know, It's like everything was supposed to circle. In fact,

151
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: I remember.

152
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: I got the role and Nutty Professor as Dave Chappelle's role,

153
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: and my character's name I came his name was Sweetest.

154
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: During the deaf jam Rror, I said his name is

155
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: sweet Booker, and he had a saying every time he

156
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: cracked a joking. But you know how sweet books say,

157
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,200

222
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,800

223
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,800

224
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: that I get to make Eddie Murphy laugh him laugh.

225

277
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,199

288
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: I was like, we shouldn't go over there, because just

294
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: I come over there, give him a hug. We all

00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: on Tupac's face as we pulled off.

299
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: It's kind of just like looking at us, like.

300
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: Everybody should get in the car with you.

301
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: It just he looked like, man, I missed that freedom.

302
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: I missed that fund. And he was just in this chaos.

303
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: There was something a part of him that's wished that

304
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: it was like the innocence. He could just go with

305
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,040

Speaker 3: So we started developing the show.

352
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: God was David Lee and Leslie Simon and we sat

353
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: there and we created the show together.

354
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: And then.

355
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 2: Then we got to NBC got to the table read,

356
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: and they didn't want John Witherspoon. They didn't want him.

357
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: They thought he was too ghetto. They thought that John

358
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: was too country, that he was too Detroit. You know

359
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: that George Detroit player brother. You know, John has a

360
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: very distinct personality, but he was veteran John a ghetto.

361
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: They didn't want him as our father. And me and

362
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: Sean was like, we don't want no other father. And

363
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: they was like, either you replace the father or you

364
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: don't get on our air. And we said we're out

365
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: replacing the father, and so NBC.

366
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: Didn't pick us up. So then we're nowhere.

367
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: Went and then WB is being created and they needed

368
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: a flagship show, and we did this pilot called Wayne's Brothers,

369
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: and they was like, we'll take it, We'll take it.

370
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: So me and Sean with John, and we said, you

371
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: gotta take John Witherspoon, bet and from there Wayne's Brothers.

372
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: You do realize to be on network television. And the

373
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: only thing that you had to do in order to

374
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: get on network television was to change a character. You

375
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: know how many people would have changed that one character.

376
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not.

377
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: We have a loyalty and we have instincts, and you

378
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: gotta trust your instincts. Without John Witherspoon, Wayne's Brothers, Me

379
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: and Sean, it's always gonna be funny.

380
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: But you need to try and go off. You need

381
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: to try angle offense.

382
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: That every time we threw John the ball, we knew

383
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: we knew that, we knew it he stepped or clay,

384
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: we knew it.

385
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: Every time John and we had the time of our lives.

386
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: We laughed so much.

387
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: We used to go to lunch together and John, he's

388
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: so country John or the two Chickens, and we was like,

389
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: oh cool, So you're gonna split this with him, No, nigga,

390
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: get your own.

391
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: This is all mine, no vegetables. This chicken he shall

392
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 3: call him chicken man.

393
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: And but man, we had so much fun and he

394
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 2: was like always telling me Marlon, you need to get

395
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: more keys.

396
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: See, you need to have more keys. Don't just you

397
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: got this actor key. We got the producer key. See.

398
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: Now you want to be like a janitor where you

399
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: can open up.

400
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: In the door you want. You got to get you

401
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: those keys. You need to get this stand up key.

402
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: And for years I never did stand up. I think

403
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: because of fear. I think because I grew up in

404
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: this household with all these comedians, and I always felt intimidated.

405
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: I always felt like.

406
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: Damon, I'm never gonna match what Damon's doing, and I'm

407
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: never gonna do what Keenan's been able to do. I

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: can't do it, Sean and Kim everybody. When you do comedy,

409
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: everybody you tell stories from your life. I got four

410
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: niggas already telling the stories of my life. Yes, so

411
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: what do I have to say by the time I

412
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: come along to the point exactly? But then you realize,

413
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: oh no, that's their stories from their point of view.

414
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: And as a comedian, as an individual, oh, I got

415
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: my own stories. I got my own point of view.

416
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: I got my own journey with my parents, and my

417
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: relationship is different. I got each one of these brothers.

418
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: I could talk about and pull from. I went to

419
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: perform an arts high school. I didn't do stand up

420
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: till later. I have a different journey, and so that

421
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: now gives me complete confidence. But John, you used to

422
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: always say, Marlin, you got the gifts, you needed to

423
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,960

00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: He killed them that night.

471
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: This is what I want to I really want to know,

472
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: because you were a part of it. Do you think

473
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: we'll ever see an era of black sitcoms like we

474
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: saw in the nineties. You had the Fresh Prince, you

475
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: had your show, you had Martin, you had Jamie Foxx,

476
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: you had a living Single, you had the Con You

477
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: had so many.

478
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: Will we ever ever see that again? I believe we

479
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: can surpass that.

480
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful you talking to a dreamer, you talk to

481
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: somebody that understands positive affirmations, that you put that power

482
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: in the universe. We ain't peaked. Black people were just beginning.

483
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: We're just beginning.

484
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 5: Now.

485
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some work to do because as long

486
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: as we're not owning the networks and owning the airwaves

487
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: and having the executives that get our humor, then we're gonna.

488
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 3: Be minimalized and marginalized. So I'm hopeful that there's gonna

489
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: be a new way of doing things.

490
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: And I think we'll be able to do even more

491
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: than what we did in the past, because I think

492
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: the talent nowadays, you know, there's some special people out there,

493
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: and not just people, not just actors. Before we Hollywood

494
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: was raising actors since me and my brothers came along,

495
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: and Robert Towns and Eddie Murphy and all these people.

496
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: Like now you got visionaries coming along.

497
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: You got you know, Easa raised, you got Jordan Peel's got,

498
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: you got visionaries.

499
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: That's not just people that's just like, oh, I'm an

500
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: act in something. You got me.

501
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: You got people that's like no, no, no, no, I'm

502
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: ana craft something and produce something and create something that

503
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: is of us.

504
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: Yes, the Kenya baruses. You know what I'm saying. We

505
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: are visionaries. So we just got to do more. We

506
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: have to collectivise, We have to we have to do

507
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: more stuff together.

508
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 2: Empower each other, stop breaking each other down, right, I

509
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: just get they don't sometimes they don't know. You know,

510
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: from coming from a legacy, I understand how important it

511
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: is to build each other, not break each other.

512
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: Right. It's so they want we ain't crabs in a barrel?

513

00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: as an industry, and how you've grown from Ian when

519
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 2: you first came on the air. When you first came on,

520
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: you could bare boy. You a southern southern as hell?

521
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: Who put this man? But back in myth indeed deep

522
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: them deep you would. Now you're doing this, you do

523
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: vocal exercise. I said, look at this man taking this

524
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: craft serious?

525
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: I said, God, I was watching you.

526
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: But I'm proud to see the evolution. Right, I'm proud

527
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: to drink this. I'm proud to come on this platform.

528
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: I think we need to do more of this. I

529
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: don't believe I need to break you down to build

530
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: me up, because that's in security. I believe in love

531
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna have a great journey. I'm

532
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: gonna work with wonderful people and do wonderful things.

533
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: Explain to me and my audience, how does syndication work?

534
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Because you say it's like living.

535
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 3: Don't they stop that ship? Damn it?

536
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: After sign felt this and after Cosby said no more

537
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: niggas gonna get that much money.

538
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 5: Ever, so syndication was you had to do what a

539
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: hundred shows episodes?

540
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: I personally, I think if I do TV again, I

541
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: want to go back to that model. For me, that's

542
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: that's I want to do sitcom.

543
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: I want to do TV.

544
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: I want to do but they want to indicate you anymore.

545
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: I want to do it. I think it's still a

546
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: model that is necessary. I think I think the brands

547
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: need a place to go.

548
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: I think the networks have given up and they've allowed

549
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: the streamers to kill their business to we live in

550
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: a greedy business and they try to compete with each other.

551
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: I just feel like, sometimes, yo, let Netflix be Netflix, right,

552
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: everybody ain't got to create that.

553
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: You gonna kill your business to go try and do

554
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: their business and spend all this money chasing their business.

555
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: When let them have their business. I want to I

556
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 3: like the syndications thing. I could I want to do it.

557
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 2: I could do a Netflix or a stream I've been

558
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: very successful on all those. But I truly believe in

559
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 2: the syndication thing. You do one hundred episodes, maybe two

560
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: hundred episodes, and then you sell it market by market,

561
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: and then you sell it to the streamers. There's a

562
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: big business in it. I paid three million dollars as episode.

563
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: If I get three million dollars back on the first run,

564
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: then I'm recouping everything that I've made. And then the

565
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: second run, and if I'm getting a million dollars an

566
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: episode for those two hundred episodes, that's four hundred million dollars.

567
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 5: Right.

568
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: You got to think about the business of the business.

569
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: And now I just feel like our business is gobbling.

570
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: It's tough up and we need to break out of it,

571
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: you know, and and and and get back to to

572
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: not everything being under one roof.

573
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: When did you realize that you could write that you

574
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: could really like now, I can write, but I can

575
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: write stuff that could become a movie. I could write

576
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: things that can become a sitcom. When did you realize

577
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: that you had that gift that you could really really

578
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: do this?

579
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 5: Marlon?

580
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: I think when I wrote my first sketch, first sketch

581
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: I ever wrote on my own.

582
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: With chaperans, mister ugly man. Okay, it's funny because I

583
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: did mister ugly man go bar and people get mad.

584
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Listen many I can't get mad with the jokes. I'm like,

585
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: if you're gonna get me mad about jokes, you better

586
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: get in line. There's gonna be a lot of Hey,

587
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: there's a lot of angry niggas out there. I remember

588
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: I had to run. I was on the set of

589
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: Lemon Color and I was dodging Shapa Ran because he

590
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: was you.

591
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 5: Ever run into shop?

592
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a guest on this show. Oh man,

593
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: keep set you up.

594
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say what on doing for now, because

595
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: when you do it, today's face you know it's mockery

596
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: is the greatest form of flatter, right. But doing my

597
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: first sketch was like, Okay, I can do this. And

598
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: then when we went through twenty six drafts when we

599
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: did Don't Be a Minist.

600
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: I could do this.

601
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: Then we did Scary Movie and we had to go

602
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: do those nineteen drafts. Now for me, I'm when I

603
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: my specials now my stand up. I don't even write

604
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: it down no more. Really, I'm like jay Z in

605
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 2: the booth. I remember everything.

606
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: I write it in front of the audience, so I

607
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: don't sit at home and go This was funny.

608
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: I go up with a concept and I go all right,

609
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna work this out right here in front of

610
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: the audience and see where it takes me. There's gonna

611
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: be some quiet moments, but I'm gonna do that. And

612
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: I started doing that when I did God Loves Me,

613
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: which was all about the Will Smith Chris rock Slab

614
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: and I wrote the whole thing in my head in

615
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: three months, and I didn't tour it for long. I

616
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: toured it maybe three four months, and then I filmed

617
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: the special and then after that I was like, oh wow,

618
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm in the matrix. I just ate the rap hill.

619
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm in the matrix. Things is moving slowly, like I

620
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: see all these numbers literally, and I could put all

621
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: these numbers together and create these formulas.

622
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: And now, good grief, same thing. I don't write it down,

623
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: this new one that I'm working on. I'm on tour.

624
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: Make sure you catch my tour, uh, the Wild Child

625
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,680

627
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: telling jokes. I'm up there telling great stories. And it's

628
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: like watching a movie because you got all these different

629
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: characters and this hero that's going through this thing to

630
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,840

631
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: just joke, joke, joke, joke, pop, relentless, and then there's

632
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of heart and then there's some spirit.

633
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: I want you to come down and check me out.

635
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I'm in a special place since I've

636
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: really felt that. I've always been a humble man. I've

637
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: always been humble because I've been raised.

638
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: I know what greatness is. Yes, starting to see mine.

639
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: Wow, you get to a point and your excellence through

640
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: your work ethic and you go, oh, no, I know

641
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: what I'm doing.

642
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: Scary movie, Mirror Max, Mirror Max. Yeah, that's hard. What

643
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: people don't know that's Harvey. That was Harvey Weinstein's company.

644
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: Harvey Weinstein and his evil, ugly brother Bob. I'm gonna

645
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: have to drink on this man, you know, talk about

646
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: it now. See you waited for four shots in for

647
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: you to start getting juicy, and then this thing got

648
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: real hot all of a sudden.

649
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: Did you turn this up? This end is the hot seat?

650
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: What we could turn that, we would turn it out.

651
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: So I read that scary movie that you guys got

652
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: a really really crappy deal.

653
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: Out of it.

654
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: I think in Hollywood you always get crappy deals.

655
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: But that's not just your seventh or a deal, maybe

656
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 5: your first.

657
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: What I think the first one we got a crappy deal, definitely,

658
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: but the second one, This first one was so big.

659
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: You know, we opened the forty two million dollars, yes,

660
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: which was unheard of.

661
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: Yes, And they try to say for a black director

662
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: that was a record breaker. No, that was a record

663
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: for just a comedy director.

664
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 5: Period.

665
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: That's what I know about Keenan Ken was like, no, no, no, no, no,

666
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: don't you put the black label on me. Don't you

667
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: minimalize or marginalize.

668
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: My success by you trying to label it it.

669
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: Let's let that bleed so that other black people can

670
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: know that there's not such a thing as just black success,

671
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: because black success has a ceiling. No just success. And

672
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: I just so happened to be black and that's how

673
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: he wrote, and you know, it was huge. So they

674
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: was trying to make a deal for the second one,

675
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: the weak enough because they seen the track and they

676
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: know it was gonna be huge. So we got a

677
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: good deal in the second one. You know, we got

678
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: twenty against twenty deal and then Merri Max did what

679
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: they did. You know they I always say, you know

680
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: they didn't just rape and molest women. They raped niggas too,

681
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: molested us in them deals. They were terrible people, terrible people.

682
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 5: Did you know that that was going on behind the scenes?

683
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: Had you heard whispers of things that he was doing

684
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: to women or people that were trying to get in position.

685
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 5: Did you hear anything about that? Did you know anything

686
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 5: like this was going on?

687
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: I hear things right, but you know, he never tweeting

688
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: my book, never asked me for a foot massage. I'll

689
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: have be like, man, you don't get the fuck out

690
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: of here. But if I had heard, like if i'd

691
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: have known somebody, if somebody came to me, I would

692
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: have pulled up on them, Hey, man, don't do that.

693
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you how to do your business, but

694
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: you ain't gonna do that business to my people. Don't

695
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: do that. That's just it's just now how you conduct

696
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: your business.

697
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: If you want people to be successful, you don't use

698
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 2: your weight to try and get something from somebody. You

699
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: should want people to be successful for themselves. And the

700
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: feeling that you get is the fact that you helped

701
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: and nurture them and make them successful. This other thing

702
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: that's toxic, But God comes for you all the toxic

703
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: things that you did to me and my family.

704
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: We took the franchise from us, took it from us.

705
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 5: That was a.

706
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: Franchise that because and then they stole the idea for

707
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: the third one.

708
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: Right, we as gentlemen, we walked away from throw one

709
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 3: cause it was like, well.

710
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: First of all, they took it from usself, put it

711
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: in and gave it to somebody else cause we couldn't

712
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: make a deal, so they gave it to somebody else,

713
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: and they didn't tell us. They read about it in

714
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: the papers and he was like, okay, cool. So then

715
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: that crapped out cause I'm gonna tell you something you

716
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 2: can try.

717
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: You can try.

718
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: You can't do Weighan's shit without the wayans. Yeah, you

719
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: can try, but eventually you're gonna lose a lot of money.

720
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: Cause what we do was special. We have two hundred

721
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: years of comedy between me and Sean and Keenan Damon Kim.

722
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: We have a lot of years of excellence of what

723
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 2: we do. You can't just put anybody on them. They're

724
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: gonna just do it. You can't do what we do.

725
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: You can do a version, and so they did. The

726
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: third one took the idea we pitched them cause we

727
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: we came to the table. We said, all right, if

728
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: you want to do this, we're gonna we're gonna get

729
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: a thirty against thirty million dollars deal because you made

730
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: this much money on the first one, you made that

731
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: much money on.

732
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 5: The second one.

733
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna get thirty against thirty. All right, okay, back

734
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 2: we come in. King has the meaning pitched his idea.

735
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: They go, we love it. We're gonna make an offer.

736
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 2: They make an offer for what we made on the

737
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: first one.

738
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 5: But hold on you.

739
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: You just said we're gonna okay, you got us on

740
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: the second. First one, we did, okay, twenty for twenty

741
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: on the second, when we're gonna do thirty for thirty,

742
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: ain't no offer to be made.

743
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 5: You already told us what we're gonna get on the

744
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 5: third one. How you gonna make an offer?

745
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel that outrageous feeling that you feel, Yeah,

746
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: that's what we felt times three.

747
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: So we just like, you know what, No, you we

748
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: told you what it was. You're not playing gentlemanly.

749
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 2: So we went and pitched that movie, and we pitched

750
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: White Chicks to it was that movie in another movie.

751
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 3: I think it was White Chicks.

752
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so five of the Place, since everybody bid. So

753
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: then they come go, okay, we're gonna come over the

754
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: top and we're gonna pay you. I think it was

755
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: like a twenty against twenty deal whatever. And when you

756
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: got that on this second twenty two against twenty two

757
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: and no, we was like, no, here's what we're gonna do.

758
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna go do this movie with Joe Rotha Revolution.

759
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 2: And they took the idea and I was like, oh,

760
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: fuck you. So they took the idea. They hired the

761
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: Zucker Brothers and they brought them on to do Scary

762
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: Movie three based on the idea that we told them.

763
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 3: Now you got that one off. Part four didn't do

764
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: as well because now.

765
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 5: You ain't got the Martin, you ain't got the Williams idea.

766
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first one you could. You could fool the audience.

767
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: They see Anna, they see Regina, They're like, oh okay,

768
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: they get there like, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa this this

769
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: this though. I like Regina and I love Kevin, I

770
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: love Anthony, I do but this don't taste like. Then

771
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: you do the fourth one diminishing returns. Then you do

772
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: the fifth one and the fifth one. I was doing

773
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: Haunted House at the time. I showed Haunted House to

774
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: them because I was looking for distribution. They were trying

775
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: to buy it and shelve it. But they tried to

776
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 2: take the ideas that I had in Haunted House and

777
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: apply it to Scary Movie five.

778
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 3: But you don't know the formula, so they offered.

779
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: We said no.

780
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: I took it to.

781
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,240

Speaker 2: and I ever did. Yeah to acting with two black

948
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,560

949
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: in the Hampton. Yes, we're filming winter time in Vancouver.

950
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: We're doing seven hours of makeup. We got these big

951
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: ass feet and these little fucking heels. Bunyan's was popping,

952
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 2: like you understand then when they put these contacts and

953
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: that was the worst hair going in your mouth. Seven

954
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: hours of makeup, and then after that, in order to

955
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 2: get the movie done, me and Sean pushed our call time.

956
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: We did something called force call. So you're normally supposed

957
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: to work a complete twelve hour day, and then you

958
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 2: got to send the actors home so they could sleep.

959
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: And it's called getting your turnaround. We pushed our turnaround

960
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: so we would do seven hours of makeup, and then

961
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: from the time we got out of makeup. Say, we

962
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: went to make up at three in the morning, and

963
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: we finished makeup by ten o'clock. Ten o'clock we start filming,

964
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: and we filmed till twelve o'clock at night. Go home,

965
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: get three hours sleep, come back do it again. This

966
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 2: movie was so hard, but we knew we had something special.

967
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: We knew the set pieces. We know this that weigh

968
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: and shit, we know, man, two hundred years of comedy.

969
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: We going this is gonna be. And I thought, when

970
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: once again my brother Shawn's underrated, he came up with you,

971
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 2: I did for whats This man called me up two

972
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. I think this nigga was high

973
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 2: of green tea. He said, Marlon, we should play two

974
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: white girls. I said, Sean, you need left green tea.

975
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm taking my black ass to sleep. Next day he

976
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 2: comes to the house, He's like, no, we gotta do it.

977
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: And I think it was Rick bought over FHM magazine

978
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: or Sean brought over Fahim magazine and on the cover

979
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: was Nikki and Paris Hilton, and he was like, these

980
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 2: are the girls that we gotta play. And he said,

981
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: I was watching this movie some like It Hot Boom,

982
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: So we watched something like it hot like the Matrix.

983
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: He's like, that's it, I see it.

984
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: Instead of criminals, we're gonna play cops. Instead of two

985
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 2: white guys playing two white girls, we're gonna play two

986
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: two black men playing white girls. Instead of the little

987
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 2: guy in the movie that's chasing around Jack Lemon's character,

988
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna make him one of them big ass basketball

989
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 2: football niggas that love white girls, who in their whole terminology. Man,

990
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 2: it's snowing in here. Who says it's snools in april? Man?

991
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: You know, look at that big white one over there.

992
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: That's the abominable snowman. There was a character me and

993
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: my brother used to do all the time. So that's

994
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: who we hired. Terry crews as and then all the

995
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: girls the dance numbers we knew, we knew and it's

996
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 2: so much so I had such a good time. I

997
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 2: still found time to hang out with the cast because

998
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 2: I loved all those girls.

999
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 3: We had such a good time to.

1000
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: The point to where I had Me and my brother

1001
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: were staying in Yelle Town. We had this dope townhouse.

1002
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 3: We moved.

1003
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 2: We shut that townhouse down and we moved to the

1004
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: crappy ass Sutton Hotel just so we could be around

1005
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: the cast, so we could party with them on and

1006
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: we knew that was gonna be a special movie. And

1007
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 2: you know, to this day, people like the stigma of

1008
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 2: you wearing a dressing. The white man, it got you

1009
00:49:55,719 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: wearing a dress and nothing. You got it twisted. The

1010
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 2: white man got me wearing a dress. I didn't do

1011
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: this to try and get in Hollywood. This was something

1012
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: that we created because we said this would be funny.

1013
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 2: Black people, black artists, stop minimalizing your creativity. We should

1014
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: do it all physical comedy. We should do drama, We

1015
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: should do you know, romantic comedy. You gotta do slapstick,

1016
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: you gotta We should be able to cover all forms

1017
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: of our expression of comedy.

1018
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: Because white people don't do that. White people don't sit.

1019
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: There and go, man, look at look at Dustin Hoffman

1020
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 2: wearing that dress. When wearing a look at look at

1021
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: Rob Wims wearing a dress. There you go, Rob Williams wear.

1022
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 5: A dress again.

1023
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 2: He wasn't want to black people get screwed, skewered and

1024
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: scrutinized white people in statues. Ron Williams won a Golden

1025
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 2: Globe for Missus down Fire. Dustin Hoffman won an oscar

1026
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: for Tootsie. And do you see any white people screaming

1027
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 2: that about them? Black people? We have been so hurt

1028
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 2: and so damaged through slavery and all that we've been through,

1029
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 2: that we think we have.

1030
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: To uphold ourselves a certain way.

1031
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 2: We the best way we canhold ourselves is to support

1032
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: each other.

1033
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 3: Don't be crabs in a barrel trying to break each

1034
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 3: other down. They do that.

1035
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: It's been in our psyche for years. When does it stop?

1036
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 2: When does it stop?

1037
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 3: This is what we do.

1038
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 2: We gonna use our airwaves to break each other down,

1039
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 2: to the build each other up. Nah man, No, that's

1040
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: not why we wear dresses. And a gay bone in

1041
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: my body gains thing about me is my daughter. You

1042
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, But honestly, and then not to

1043
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: say that, but I'm not a hole mom, fall Bob,

1044
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 2: I got gay friends. I'm comfortable enough as a man

1045
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 2: that I can wear a dress and still feel like

1046
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: a man. I'm doing comedy, so I'm gonna continue to

1047
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: do comedy. And when you do it right, you know,

1048
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 2: you know, when you do it right. You know how

1049
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: Black people ain't mad at Robin Robert Downey Jr. For

1050
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 2: doing the character in Tropic Thunder because he was funny.

1051
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 3: It was funny. He didn't downplay black people.

1052
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 5: He just did the black guy.

1053
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: He felt like he was in character and it was

1054
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: funny and it came from a good place. So black

1055
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 2: people ain't mad at that. It wasn't like he was

1056
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: making fun of mockery of us when we did White Chicks, right,

1057
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: mockery's graves for him.

1058
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 3: Flattery.

1059
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 2: You want to tell a good joke, the person that

1060
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: you make in fun of, they should laugh the loudest.

1061
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 2: You know who loved the White Chicks the most.

1062
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 3: White chicks.

1063
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: Black people loved it too. But that was why the

1064
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 2: movie is a classic movie. And you know, it's sad,

1065
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 2: you know that we haven't done a sequel. But see,

1066
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 2: there's a difference between we do sequels and when they

1067
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: do sequels. And I'm not that guy to be like

1068
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 2: the white Man this, and you know I don't complain.

1069
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 3: I just do my work, man, right, I do.

1070
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 2: I'm too busy creating and being a force to sit

1071
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: there and lick my wounds and look at doors and

1072
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: beg them to throw out a bone.

1073
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 5: Would you be willing to do a sequel? Yeah?

1074
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 2: But but Tom Cruise, do a sequel to a hit movie?

1075
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: They go, here's fifty million dollars back in niggas do

1076
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: a sequel to the movie. Like, can you do the

1077
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 2: same movie for half the budget and you make a

1078
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 2: quarter of what you made the first time?

1079
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 3: What kind of math is this?

1080
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 5: Then you?

1081
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: If we're doing a sequel, wasn't it successful? I got

1082
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 2: to make a bigger, better movie, and I'm not gonna

1083
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: cheat the audience. I'd rather not do it and let

1084
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: the classic just be a classic, right And in the meantime,

1085
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 2: I create something new and create a new classic, and

1086
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 2: we'll form a different business based on that. But if

1087
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: you want to bring somebody back to a classic thing

1088
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: and a classic franchise, and you got to make it bigger.

1089
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: And better than I can't. I can't creatively.

1090
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,799

1103
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 2: That's an old joke. That's like a knock knock joke,

1104
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's like, that's not a

00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: specific joke. That joke been around for years. I never

1106
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: even saw it. It was just something where he was

1107
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: like on set and was like, oh, you'll be funny

1108
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: if we did the day product.

1109
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 5: But I'm not.

1110
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't never steal. I wouldn't steal anybody's joke. I

1111
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 2: think it's a I think it's a crime to steal jokes.

1112
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 3: I don't I don't steal them.

1113
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: That diminishes my returns as a writer. I'd rather punch

00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: your joke and gift you that. I go watch comedians sometime.

1115
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: If I'm watching your set and you're.

1116
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 2: About to go, I go, hey, you know you should

1117
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 2: try this right here. But but all right, good, I

1118
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 2: don't go. I don't hearing this stole my joke. That's

1119
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 2: why for me now, if it ain't personal, I ain't

1120
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: doing it. I do sets that's about my pain, and

1121
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 2: I go, what's funny about my pain? Because it's part therapy,

1122
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: and it's part that's where the best humor comes from.

1123
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: And so you can't steal my pain. You can't steal

1124
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 2: my life. I have a personal journey. If you hear

1142
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 2: your daughter. I like how you put it right back

1143
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: in a place where it's brandy, get your mark on.

1144
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: When your child was growing up, did you notice anything

1145
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: that wasn't normal of that that was specific to that

1146
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: child's gender. Did you notice anything no, little Well, they

1147
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: were always different.

1148
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 3: I noticed that they always had like there was always

1149
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 3: a girl that there's this kid.

1150
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 2: When she was coming up Geraldine, that Geraldine and she

1151
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 2: would just be like, yeah.

1152
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 3: She did it again, what you do? I said hi,

1153
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 3: and she didn't say hi. And she had this thing

1154
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 3: with this Geraldine girl.

1155
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: And it wasn't until earlier, I mean until later that

1156
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: she explained to me that she had a crush on Geraldine.

1157
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 3: And that's why she would say I would saying hi

1158
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 3: to her. I was just trying to express that I

1159
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 3: liked her. And this was when my child became an

1160
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: adult and I was like, oh, so all these.

1161
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 2: People that you had these beeps and these ripes with

1162
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 2: those girls that you actually had rushes on.

1163
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 3: So I mine was always a little different.

1164
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 2: She always a you know, you look at the little

1165
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: pictures of her when she little, you know, we google

1166
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: and she's a like then they always had a secret lin,

1167
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: and so there were signs. I think her mother saw

1168
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 2: it more than I did, and so I think that's

1169
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 2: why the transition was harder on me because I was

1170
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: the last to know.

1171
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 3: But as hard as it was, I think that it's

1172
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 3: not important. It's important what.

1173
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 2: You went through the five steps of grief, but I

1174
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 2: think it's important that you get to acceptance. And I'm

1175
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 2: proud to say it took me a week, a week,

1176
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: a week, and it felt like forever, it felt like

1177
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 2: five years.

1178
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 3: One very hard week. And this was happening at a

1179
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: time when my mother was dying.

1180
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: My mother died, my father was sick, A couple of

1181
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: my friends, people I love, had brain Anyrymsen, John Witherspoon died,

1182
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: fifty seven people.

1183
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 3: I loved died.

1184
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: I was broken, and then it was the other way

1185
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 2: on top of me, like what do you mean you're

1186
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: transitioning to what? And for one week I was a

1187
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: resistant And I'm proud to say I'm not proud of

1188
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: the things that I went through, but I'm proud that

1189
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: I got there.

1190
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 3: In a week. And I'm even I'm sad to say

1191
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 3: some parents and some family.

1192
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: Members and some people it will take them a lifetime

1193
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 2: and they'll never get to that magical place that I'm at,

1194
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: which is just acceptance.

1195
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 3: Still my child, man, that's my baby.

1196
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: Because I think sometimes Martin, the hardest thing of a parent.

1197
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: You have an expected You have an expectation of what

1198
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: you think your child should or shouldn't be.

1199
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: Youhver see what it's beautiful as God will break you you.

1200
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 2: We all got to answer to God. And so this

1201
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: wasn't for them.

1202
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 3: This was for me. You are not me, young man,

1203
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 3: I am God. You are not me. I designed this way.

1204
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 3: I want to. The only thing you can do is

1205
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 3: get this lesson unconditional love. Now apply that to your life.

1206
00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 3: Feel your freedom, feel your lightness.

1207
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 5: That's for you.

01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 2: I feel great, Golden God is I say God all

1209
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,640

01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: Leave me alone.

1213
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 3: You think this little trans child's gonna give me a baby?

1214
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with the Organs. What's

Speaker 1: I don't know what to wreck me if I'm wrong

1217
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: I read I think I read it that you said

1218
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get married now because you compare all

1219
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: women to your mom, and that's an unfair comparison.

1220
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm paraphrasing.

1221
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 2: No, I said that I didn't get married while my

1222
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 2: mother was alive because I always wanted my mother to

1223
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 2: be my number one girl.

1224
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I knew my mama would cause havoc.

1225
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm mama's baby, and so I don't want my wife

1226
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 2: beef my mother like that.

1227
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 3: No that I know my son, I don't want that.

1228
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 2: And so my mother was. I know my mother was

1229
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 2: on borrow time. So let me love my mama. That's

1230
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: just one reason. The other reason was a nigga. I'm

1231
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: in Hollywood. I got all his money, all this dick.

1232
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 3: I can't.

1233
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 7: You want me lying watch your ball? Why am I

1234
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 7: gonna lie on a woman with all this dick? That's crazy. No,

1235
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 7: I wasn't ready to be faithful. I had to get

1236
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 7: some great hair. I had to skunk hat to happen.

1237
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 7: I didn't want to show it everybody. I had to

1238
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 7: I had to grow up.

1239
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 3: Man.

1240
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: I never wanted to get divorced, and so I needed

1241
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 2: to become a man. And it took my parents to

1242
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 2: go for me to finally be like I could see

1243
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,080
