Right, all of the heavy conversations 28 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: I've been happening. And oftentimes when I have these heavy conversations, 29 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: I find comedy helps me. Meaning I listened to certain comedians, 30 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: I listened to certain comedy specials. I look for laughs 31 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: in the sadness. I look for laughs to make sense 32 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: of what's going on in our world. And if you 33 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: follow this podcast, you know I talked about this often. 34 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: So the other night, Kat Williams World War Three, his 35 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: Netflix special is out, and I'm watching it and I'm 36 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: laughing because Kat Williams humor much like a couple of 37 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: other comedians that I enjoy. It's very cerebral. It makes 38 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: you think you're like, wait, what does that mean explain 39 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: that to me. And there were a lot of funny 40 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: There were a lot of a lot of funny moments. 41 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: It was a good special, it really was. But then 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: I get a call on him and they're like, hey, 43 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Kat is doing press. I'm like, great, Kenny, come on 44 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: the podcast and he is. That is our guest. We 45 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: have Kat Williams. Specials drops at midnight, I believe midnight 46 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: going into Thursday. He's on the podcast Thursday the day 47 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: and we're giving it to you right now, and he 48 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: didn't hope back like it is special. We talk about 49 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: what he does for a living, how he gathers his content, 50 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: the process of doing what he does, and how he's 51 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: really truly a boss in this business. It's interesting because 52 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: everyone's claiming to have money and be this and be that, 53 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: but he's doing it. He owns everything. His relationships with 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: certain people, i e. Prince. We talk about that and 55 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: how influential he was in Prince's life. He told me 56 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: about his relationship with Steph Curry and the NBA and 57 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: what he shared with Steph about just shooting from the logo, 58 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: like just let it loose because they ain't gonna set 59 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: up the defense they're not gonna be ready. He is surprising, smart, intelligent, 60 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: probably think yes, most definitely a deep thinker. And oftentimes 61 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: you'll hear I'll say, explain that, what do you mean? 62 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Because it's truly so ahead of what I'm thinking. I 63 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: want to make sure we're on the same wavelength. And 64 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: then you get into Will Smith in the slap with 65 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: Chris Rock, and what he says about Chris Rock was 66 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: a little jarring to me, true but jarring. So pay 67 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: attention to that, like literally, pay attention to that. He 68 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: talks about what a hero Jada Pinkett Smith is. I 69 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: repeat that woman deserves to be respected. I'm tired of 70 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: people slandering her, saying she did will wrong and what 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: she did was will she may will slap that man 72 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: nah man na na na na nay. I don't understand 73 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: even how the game works. That's not how she moved 74 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: and that's not what she did. I need y'all to 75 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: pay attention to that. And last, but not lease, and 76 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: there's still more. Cat Williams is a solid human. I'm 77 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: not an artist, nor am I a comedian in that respect. 78 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm an artist in my own way. But I think 79 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: people who think differently and who have different thoughts and 80 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: who are bold in speaking their truth are often are 81 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: often shunned by a commune people who want the status 82 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: quo to remain. Because you don't want to upset the 83 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: apple cart, you want to keep it. Don't be out here. 84 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: Be a free thinker, y'all here thinking for free y'all 85 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: here coming up with ideas, especially for you black stand down. 86 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: Please follow the system that says y'all don't matter, and 87 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: then we'll pick a few of the automatter and be 88 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: happy with the few that we allow into the world 89 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: to matter. So his Netflix special up ready, rolling right now. 90 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Watch it either watch it before you listen to the 91 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: podcast or after you listen to the podcast. But when 92 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: you watch it, this podcast will then click for you. 93 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: Kat Williams is naked, So the podcast is what I'm 94 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: even explaining what the podcast is, but explaining what it is. 95 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: I just interview people that I'm a huge fan of 96 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: and I think that have amazing things going on my life. 97 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: And I've been a fan of yours for a very 98 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: long time. So thank you for doing this. I do 99 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it, I really do. I only accept interviews by 100 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: people that I respect, and I am a fan of 101 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: their work and the fact of how they ask people questions. 102 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: I don't get paid for any of it, and I 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: don't have anybody that's in charge of me doing things 104 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: to sell products. So I have conversations with those who 105 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 1: I am honored to have a conversation with. And there's 106 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: only two two of the greatest things from pasadenay Hamla 107 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 1: Jones and I receive it. I receive it. Thank you 108 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: well now that we know we're mutual fans. I watched 109 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: the special last night and then I woke up this 110 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: morning and I saw you were trending, and I'm sure 111 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: you knew all that would happen. The first thing that 112 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: I must ask you is pretty pretty obvious, but why 113 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: did you call it w W three? I write these 114 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: hour long sets an hour, I mean a year before 115 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: they're going to be filmed. So the risk on my 116 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: side of things is I have to write a conversation 117 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: and then have this conversation still be true, valid, current, 118 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: and relevant nine and a half months after I originally 119 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: write it. That means I have to know that World 120 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: War three is coming in order to trademark the name 121 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: and to write a special called that and have in 122 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: mind to have these conversations. When you do things like that, 123 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: there's a chance that you're gonna be successful and a 124 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: chance that it won't connect. There's a lot of different 125 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: variables at play, but the titles of the specials are 126 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: based upon a feeling attached to them. So in Pimp Chronicles, 127 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: there aren't any pimp jokes, or any Lady of the 128 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: Evening jokes, or any jokes about prostitution. It's just you 129 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: are chronicling something. So World War three is because that 130 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: was the time that it was going to happen. It 131 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: was destined to happen. It says it in everybody's religious books. 132 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: It says it everywhere that it could say it. And 133 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: time is circular, so we can read what happened and 134 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: what led up to World War One enough to know 135 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: that between World War One and World War Two, we 136 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: know exactly what environments and settings have to be involved 137 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: in the world for one of these things to kick off. 138 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: And that's just where we are. Comedically, it means it's 139 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: crossroad period, and personally for all of us with COVID 140 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: and the pandemic, it meant that the world was going 141 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: through some things right now that we couldn't really look 142 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: through history and see something like this happening. So anytime 143 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: something new is coming, this as a critical part of evolution, 144 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: and you have to document those commedically. I do those 145 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: with comedy specials, and that's twelve one. It is congratulations 146 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: by the way I think it is. I read. You 147 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong. It's the second one 148 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: for Netflix. It's your twelfth one, but the second one 149 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: for Netflix. Is that accurate? Okay? So how it works 150 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: is for the first ten specials, I funded the specials, 151 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: wrote the specials, paid for the specials to be shot 152 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: and directed and produced and edited, and I own all 153 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: of them. This was the first time that I had 154 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: to be partnered with Netflix and the producers that they used, 155 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: and I had to be collaborative to put out a 156 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: collaborative effort. It was the second time that we did that. Yes, 157 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: how does it? What's the different process? I would think 158 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: that you would have more freedom creatively when you don't 159 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: have to partner. How was that working relationship? I'm curious 160 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: after everything that happened with Dave Chappelle, were they and 161 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: I know you filmed it a year before, but I'm 162 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: curious about their freedom and letting you have all the 163 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: license you want to say and do. Okay, it's a 164 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: weird situation because I've never been given creative license. I 165 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: am the one hundred percent owner of all things Cat Williams. 166 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I own all my masters, all my specials. I've not 167 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: been sponsored or nobody put me on tour, put me 168 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: under their wing. I'm not the process of a holding deal, 169 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: none of that. I this is all done by us, 170 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: our team only. So you can't give me creative control. 171 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: I had that when you met me so eleven times 172 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: I was able to do a special where we were 173 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: just able to do a special good enough for you 174 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: to put on the network. This meant that, in my 175 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: pursuit of trying to do the best special I possibly could, 176 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: that I took some of the responsibility and handed that 177 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: off to others, trusting how they would do it. So 178 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: even if it was terribly disappointed with how it went 179 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: or it turned out, I wouldn't bad mouth it because 180 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: we all in our life have been in a relationship, 181 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: and we know that no relationship is perfect and all 182 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: days are come secum sought in real relationships. When it's good, 183 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: it's great. When it's bad, we're working on it. That's 184 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: how that goes in any relationship. So this is no 185 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: a friend. Um. Even people in real relationships right now 186 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: can think back to when they were single and what 187 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: they might be doing, what their schedule would be like 188 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: if I was single, And didn't that ease in the 189 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: streets in the streets, in the streets, in the streets. Yeah. Yeah. 190 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: My My job is to do things I haven't done 191 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: before and to continuously to be striving to be better. Um. 192 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: So if you were to tell me that my last 193 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: foray was one strikeout, I wouldn't take anything bad from it. 194 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: I understand that I'm the league leader in strikeouts. I 195 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: just understand that I'm also the league leader at home runs. 196 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: If you understand those go together, then you will understand 197 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: why I'm where I'm at. Listen the twelve times I've 198 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: taken this risk, you know, And it's a risk that 199 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: in our lane as a comedian, you're not guaranteed to 200 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: be funny because you think you are. The customer is 201 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: always right. So that's that's how we do business. And 202 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: it's the I said this before to anytime I've ever 203 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: interviewed anybody, any committee, and I've ever talked to. It's 204 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: the hardest job. I don't like. I don't like when 205 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: I go and I and you know, if the audience 206 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: is sometimes audience is wat, it's just is. In this case. 207 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: Last night, I'm watching and I'm laughing because you come 208 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: right off the back about everything's alive. They've been lying 209 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: to us. So I was, as is everyone having this conversation. 210 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: I think you probably were more aware than most of 211 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: us to talk about it. But within the last two years, 212 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: you cannot deny that we don't trust anything. Misinformation is 213 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: at an all time high. And if you are slightly 214 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: aware of what is happening in this country, you know 215 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: they're lying. You can't believe it. So you start off 216 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: with this, and in my mind, I'm like, it's genius 217 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: you wrote that a year ago. But that is exactly 218 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: how we feel. And we have seen, yes, this country, 219 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: we've seen these politicians whoever leaders are. Everybody's a liar. 220 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Everybody's lying. They tell you when you did the the 221 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: shortest ever accepted that they could lie. We thought, yeah, 222 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: certain jobs meant you had to tell the truth. We 223 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: thought that there were certain us that meant you were 224 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: a truth teller. We now see that there are no 225 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: jobs like that, and the judge, being a politician, being 226 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: a police officer, there is no thing you can be 227 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: that guarantees your righteousness and you're willing to do for 228 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: others above yourself. And so we're all people in this 229 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: and we have to have these conversations and yeah, that's 230 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: the part. Yeah, it's the hardest job in the world. 231 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: I could agree with you, but every reality, it is not. 232 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Really it's the most blessed job possible. Well, its being 233 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: an analyst or a sports commentator is a dream job 234 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: for the world. This is even better than that. At 235 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: that you're being forced to criticize, because that's part of 236 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: the process, is being critical. This is your ability. You 237 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: don't have to do any of that. You can do 238 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: it exactly how it's best for you and the audience 239 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: that is being uplifted by you. So yeah, it's a 240 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: it's hard, but it is so rewarding and it's such 241 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: a wonderful relationship to be in between comedian and the 242 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: audience that is involved with that. Oh my goodness, Like understand, 243 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I've literally been in this conversation with this group since 244 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five. And every time I just come out with, Hey, 245 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: this is how I feel, and this is what's going on, 246 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: and this is how I see. And to have a 247 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: relationship where there's been great communication for twenty years, who 248 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: could say that, well, you, it's impossible. It's impossible to 249 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: have a great relationship for twenty years. That's impossible. People 250 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: change and don't like you. What I'm saying, it's impossible, 251 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: so that you're doing something that's rare, right, And I'm 252 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: saying so however, it goes like I can't cry about 253 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: a misshot because I didn't allow myself to get as 254 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: excited as I would have been about the maid shot. Like, 255 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: this is not about highs or lows. This is the 256 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: search for balance at all times. So even as an artist, 257 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: you have to understand that our job is just to 258 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: put out the work, correct the content. It's interesting because 259 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: I believe comedians are the great observers of the world, 260 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: like you observe the world old and whatever your lens is. 261 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: And I read in our research that you have met 262 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: Prince at a young age and you thought he was 263 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: a higher thinker and that changed the way you moved. 264 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: Tell me about that when you met him and what 265 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: was it that had that whatever it is, if it 266 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: was a Genese aqui, whatever you understood, how he connected 267 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: with you, How did that change for you? How did 268 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: that change you? I've really just had a really blessed existence, 269 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: like I've been blessed to know life changing people, John 270 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: with his schoon and Heavy D and Charlie Murphy, and 271 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: there's this a cavalcade of people that I've been blessed 272 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: to be able to know and knew at an early age. 273 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: Prince was the first famous person that I met in 274 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: my lifetime, and I didn't unders. I didn't know him 275 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: or his music or any of that. But he taught 276 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: me the link between what you do as art and 277 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: the preservation of your actual self. So the fact that 278 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: he was able to do complete work for others while 279 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: still working on his own complete works, the fact that 280 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: he was doing more Stay and the time, Vanity, Babylonia 281 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: and his all that, the fact that regardless of whether 282 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: you liked how he looked in his hair or dress 283 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: or posture or presentation, you had to agree that you 284 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: had not seen it before and you had never seen 285 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: it done the way he was doing it. And he 286 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: held himself to the type of standard that you pay 287 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: people for. You pay people to hold you to a 288 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: standard where you can be a professional and always shapes 289 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: and forms. I watched the guy go for ten years partying. 290 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: I watched him ten years not drinking or doing nothing, 291 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: no caffeine. I watched them bea Jehovah's witness. I watched, 292 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: I watched all of the different things. He shared all 293 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: of that with me, and he was just a brilliant 294 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: thinker and a person who really understood the value of 295 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: women on the planet and the value of the feminine. 296 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: And he understood that if your mother is a woman 297 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: and your father's a man, you're mixed. Okay, I gotta 298 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: go back. Do you call him a brilliant thinker? What 299 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: makes him? Subjectively because it's your opinion, but people definitely 300 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: agree with you. What makes him a brilliant thinker? How 301 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: does he see the world differently from anyone else? How 302 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: does he value women as you mentioned or so that's separate. 303 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: That's separate. But the first part of it is all 304 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: of his moves were planned out ten years in advance 305 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: at all times. That knew him from when he was 306 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: when I was twelve too, when he ascended. So that's 307 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: was our discussion. Our friendship was based upon the fact 308 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: that there were three or four things that he really 309 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: valued my opinion on, and there were ten things that 310 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: I valued his opinion on everything, but there were certain 311 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: things that he trusted my opinion on, and so that 312 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: was always a connection between ours is Prince never believed 313 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: that anybody owned information or knowledge, and so if he 314 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: needed to know something, he just wanted to know whoever 315 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: was the smartest person about that. He always just wanted 316 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: to me who was the best. If he was looking 317 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: for a girlfriend, he didn't care who she was. He 318 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: cared if he thought she was the most beautiful woman 319 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: on the planet, and that's who he wanted, and he 320 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: was able to let that fluctuate. He appreciated and valued 321 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: the arts. You can't play twenty six instruments and not 322 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: be above the rest of us and thinking process whoa okay, 323 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: so true artist, And you're right about what he saw. 324 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: His stories are legendary, and I think whenever I meet 325 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: someone who knew him in an intimate way, I'm always fascinated. 326 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: I have I am fascinated by the group of people 327 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: in which he decided to commune with he gave an 328 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: audience to and he enjoyed. I am not surprised that 329 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: you are. You guys were close friends. It makes sense 330 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: on how he moved, and he moved so stealth like. 331 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: It wasn't loud, it was really quiet. It was the 332 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: opposite of someone as famous as he is. Yeah, in 333 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: every single thing. When you found out about it, he 334 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: was already done done and he and I will work 335 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: on things for four years and then they just wouldn't happen, 336 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: but we would know why they didn't happen. I'm the 337 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: one that met that had him start selling his albums himself, 338 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: because as a comedian, I put out an album and 339 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: I got the distribution and pay for that and had 340 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: the barcodes on all of my music, and I gave 341 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: a copy to everybody who bought my tickets for the tour, 342 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: and so I sold two million copies of the record 343 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: and was on Billboard. And when he found out, he 344 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: was like, how is that even possible? You don't even 345 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: have a record deal. And I showed him how it happened, 346 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: and that's why he refused to ever sell that music 347 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: through anybody other than himself after that. Is that what 348 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: changed his name to symbol is that you are you 349 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: telling me no? This is this is when he's doing 350 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Crystal Ball And now he's only selling things through MPG 351 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: and he's not letting his music be sold by a 352 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: record label or a company or entity. Wait, so you 353 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: are very instrumental and how he's moving his music in society. 354 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: He asked you how you did it, and he followed 355 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: the plan. I am instrumental in all the relationships that 356 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: I'm in. Hey, all the relationships that I'm in, those 357 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: people are instrumental in myself. I told Steph Curry to 358 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: shoot from out there because he had had the ability 359 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: because I was having him five thousand dollars for celebrity 360 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: basketball games. And I'm telling him, do you understand that 361 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: they don't even set the defense until you get to 362 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: the three point line. So if you will agree to 363 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: shoot before you get there, they don't even have a 364 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: defense to set up again, you will just be the 365 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: greatest shoe that that ever lived. I told Tyron lu 366 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: to go into teaching. I have. I'm blessed to have 367 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: had relationships where I'm able to be valuable and I'm 368 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: useful because of a certain skill set, like we all 369 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: trust a doctor because he went to school eight years 370 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: more than us. But if he's in the kitchen, he 371 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: needs to shut up. In the kitchen, he's not a chef. 372 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: On the plane, he has to shut up. He's not 373 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: the pilot. The adopter is only good in the hospital scenario. 374 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: So you know, we're all just good at what we study. 375 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: And I just have studied people for forty years. So 376 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: you having said that, I'm thinking about the special, especially 377 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: from last night, and there are things that I'm like, oh, 378 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: I have to ask him about this because either went 379 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: over my head or I didn't. I didn't know where 380 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: you were going with it. So it's like a fax machine. 381 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: White like a fax machine, because when you fuck her, 382 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: she makes a copy of you. Continue. A fax machine 383 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 1: is taking an original image and then making copies of 384 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: this image. Preserving this image is copy and if I 385 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: make ten of them, at some point they won't look 386 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: as close to this. But this process is a mechanical process, 387 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: and this is a process that is existing and everything 388 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: is predicated on this. Like there. We live in a 389 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: society where we get a chance to decide whether women 390 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: get rights or decide how much a woman should decide 391 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: about her, But everybody on this planet came from a woman. 392 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: It's the one discussion we cannot be in like correct 393 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: if the alien If the aliens come to this planet 394 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: and they say who created everybody on this planet until 395 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: they meet God, the answer or is the woman, which 396 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: is why in everybody's religious books, the woman is the 397 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: end all be all of all things, even if it's 398 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: Adam and Eve, or if it says God in the 399 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: devil got in the fight and Satan got thrown down here. Okay, 400 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: so Satan and the demons came down to the earth, 401 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: and they could have had anything on the earth, but 402 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: all they wanted was pussy, and nobody's book says they 403 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: wanted anything other than that. There was never any stories 404 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: of diamonds or gold or oil or anything being valuedful 405 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: to anybody's supernatural except women. They saw women made bodies 406 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: and then had sex with them, and that's all it sets. 407 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: You have to understand the importance of that as a 408 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: commodity in your world. It's bigger than the act of 409 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: the enjoyable sex. It's the fact that you come from there. 410 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: So a society that's having a struggle figuring out who's 411 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: on top and who's on the bottom, and who should 412 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: have the most rights and who shouldn't it that that's 413 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: a bad recipe. So that joke is about the importance 414 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: of the vagina, like we would we would have to have. 415 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: Everybody who has a business that sells eggs or omelets 416 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: is having to deal with the fact that the cost 417 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: of eggs is now extraordinary and it used to not 418 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: be and you were paying you were paying forty dollars 419 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: for a case, and now you're paying one hundred and 420 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty dollars for a case. But you can't raise the 421 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: price on an omelet because you're already at the maximum 422 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: price for two scrambled eggs, and you lose your customers 423 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: ass on. You see what I'm saying. Ye, what I'm 424 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: saying is never, never, can the most valuable thing be 425 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: taken for the practic That's what that joke is. The 426 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: facts mission, amen, it is. It is the most valuable thing. 427 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: I don't think women even understand that. Sometimes you for 428 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: you to say that, and for me to be a 429 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: woman and ask you to explain that talks about sometimes 430 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: how they don't understand the value in that, but once 431 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: they do, it turns it into a whole other game, 432 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: like once you understand its value, it changes everything. But 433 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: but they've always known the value. That's why they made 434 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: sure that every woman represented in the Bible is either 435 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: a whore or a reformed whore. Tell me about that. 436 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Why do you think that was in the Bible? Because 437 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: in a male driven society, there's no way that we 438 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: can let women be uplifted or that's the end of 439 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: that discussion. Correct, Correct, And they have to make sure 440 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: they try to try to anyway keep us down. It 441 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: is necessary that it be done. We don't have to 442 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: get into how many religions don't let women talk. Well, 443 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: we're in a society. You mentioned it very casually. But 444 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: roe versus Wade, everything's on the table if they were, 445 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: if they are overturning roe versus ways that things that 446 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: aren't allowed to be on the table, they're not even 447 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: allowed to be on the table. Correct. There isn't a 448 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: person qualified to take a woman's right on this planet. Correct, 449 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: There isn't. There isn't a woman. There isn't a person 450 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: that's qualified to call it into question, only because no 451 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: one has ever questioned a man's right, because who would 452 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: do it? And if they did it would even be 453 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: if a man could give birth, this would even be 454 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: a question. We would even be having this conversation. How 455 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: is a man gonna tell me about something he's never 456 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: done before ever and what it should be and what 457 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be. This it's crazy, it's crazy. As men 458 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: are in charge of contraception. That will be the end 459 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: of simbolization because there's not going to be any more back. 460 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: That's the end of that. It is a rap. So 461 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: when I what I'm trying to do is not be 462 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: funny in these specials. I'm trying to have a conversation 463 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: that's not being had, And I'm really sorry that these 464 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: conversations are being had by a comedian. I wish too 465 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: that it was a religious leader of some kind having 466 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: this conversation or somebody's politician talking about this stuff. I'm 467 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about legalizing we ten years before it happens, 468 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: and going to jail for it in every city and 469 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: state while having my doctor's prescription, and nobody cares that 470 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to jail. They just assume I must have 471 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: be doing something to get me there, and they don't 472 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: even care if I get out because they just assumed. 473 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: I guess you must have paid them off. Like it's 474 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: crazy what we allow in a society that we say 475 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: is free, even if we believe that Roe versus Way 476 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: was a problem. We vote on everything in this country. 477 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: We vote on the PTA, we vote at a city 478 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: council level. When did anybody vote on this stupid, unpopular thing. No, 479 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: they don't. It's not even left it's it's it's just 480 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: because they need to do things that have never been 481 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,239 Speaker 1: done before. In order to do that, you need to 482 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: do some stuff that's never been done before. Oftentimes we 483 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: look for our comedians, I do anyway to give us 484 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: a perspective about society that we don't, that we have 485 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: taken for granted. And I know, while there may be 486 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: humor injected in it, it's always a sobering story of 487 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: where we are. Like comedians, for me, really good ones, 488 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: really are able to take what's going on in society 489 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: and say, this is what it is, make it palpable, 490 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: make it digestible. And so you you do exactly what 491 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: the sports commentator does. That's what this analyst does. They're 492 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: they're they're not. We at home are already given our 493 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: opinion about the game. As it's happening in real time. 494 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: What we're missing is the facts and the eloquence, the 495 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: articic and lay and the information and analysis to be 496 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: able to do it, or we would all be doing 497 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: it at the house.

Right, you kept 502 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: it by some people and accepted by people that pay. 503 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: Like it's the same thing. Like we are being trusted 504 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: because of something, and it's our job to maintain that 505 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: as much as we can.

I 520 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: feel like when you you talk, you they're just they're 521 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: a handful that have that. Oh I'm paying attention. What 522 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: did he say? That is a beautiful thing? What it? 523 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you view it the way I do. 524 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't have any pressure being a black woman in sports. 525 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I feel like when I first started, it was me 526 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: just finding my way and trying to make sure that 527 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: I could get respect in a place where there was 528 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: no respectability for women, especially a black woman. And then 529 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: if you do the work, it eventually pays off. If 530 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: you do the work, it pays off. You know, my 531 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: rookie season, I do all the work. It pays off. 532 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: If that was true, no NBA player would play another 533 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: game until the w NBA players get a real salary, 534 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: and they wouldn't do But they won't do that man, Okay, 535 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: so so so so are you saying that? Tell me 536 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: why you say if that were true? Because clearly isn't that. 537 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: It's not. It's not true, But there are there are 538 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: these ideas right that women I am talking about from experience, 539 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: they don't know. I'm not going to get into that 540 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: because it's clearly not true. You're right, it's stupid. But 541 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: when you say something right and you make a and 542 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: you really bring something that's very sad but very true. 543 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: For instance, last night, you talk about well we can 544 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: at Bernie's and and every moment you talk about bite 545 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: and you're like, he ninety six, he mightety sin ninety eight, 546 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: and he's not gonna answer the questions. He never our answer, 547 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: is it right? I look at that and it makes 548 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: me laugh because it's like, this is so true. Yes, 549 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: I know, listening to this man president, I don't know 550 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. He forgets thoughts, he's saying the 551 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: wrong thing, everyone says, and his camp says, he's lucid 552 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: and aware. He is not. What are our options when 553 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: we're sitting there watching this man talk, we don't have 554 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: our options. I'm I look at the way you described 555 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: our country last night, and I'm like, we're correct, like 556 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: like we're we got a ninety nine year old man, 557 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: and I don't see anybody who could beat Trump. And 558 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: so you make this joke, and I'm wondering if it's 559 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: really resonating with the people that I think it should 560 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: resonate with. Your audience should be up in arms about this, 561 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: even though we're laughing and joking about it. We should 562 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: not be distracted, right, But they are professionals that have 563 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: propaganda on both sides, and so that's how it's done. 564 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: So the reason the joke is set up that way 565 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 1: is because if I say something comentary about Joe Biden 566 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: that makes me on the left, and if I say 567 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: something against Joe Biden that would make me on the right. 568 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: My job is neither. My job as a public officialist 569 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: to be in the middle. What I'm saying is as 570 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: ridiculous as what we just experienced. Is this not equally 571 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: equally read? Right? See the thing about Weekend that Bernie's 572 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 1: is not the fact if the movie is an old reference. 573 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: But if you know the reference, you understand that the 574 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: man who is Bernie is deceased. You're looking at his 575 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: movements as if this is a real preacher. This is 576 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: not He is propped up and supported by this agenda, 577 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: and this agenda is who you see answering the questions, 578 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: making the moves and the decisions. That this is a 579 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: puppetary fear, and so I, as a comedian, have to 580 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: go the opposite way. Now, yes, I hope that you 581 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: give it on either side that it's this system. We 582 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: don't we have a system. We would never let a 583 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: retired basketball player UM win MVP for the league. You 584 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 1: didn't have a right none, no, right, you're you're not old, 585 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: You're not right. So the fact that this is the 586 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: only place that we decide that we're going to hire 587 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: the elderly is not um the way that anyone does 588 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: business anywhere in the country. If you can show me 589 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: the seventy year old CEO of a fourtune five hundred company, 590 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: then I'll have a conversation. The United States is the 591 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: top of that. So it doesn't do us anymore service 592 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: to have someone who is negligent than it did for 593 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: us to have an erratic maniac in there. Say that again, 594 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: there's still no accountability. Say that again. My job is 595 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: I'm trying to take a terrible unpleasant, un unlikable position 596 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: and say it. I hope it's funny, but if it 597 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: gets discussed and it's not funny, I win. If it's 598 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: funny and don't get discussed, I win. But what I 599 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: really want is this conversation is supposed to be happening 600 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: about all of this. So that's that's what I've the 601 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: experience I've tried to make my stand up into but 602 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: it requires me not to be on a side. Essentially. 603 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: That's hard to do because I feel like all of 604 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: us are subjective and we all have our own unconscious 605 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: bias and our regular bold ass bias. So to be 606 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: able to talk about either side, it's that's tough to do. 607 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: And try to be neutral, right, because that's what I'm 608 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: supposed to do. I'm not. I've given that out. I know. No, 609 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: you are neutral. Um, I love my Lakers. You're a bias, 610 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: oh man, You're biased to champions, Yes, exactly. You only 611 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: care about those that win are in the pursuit of winning. Um, 612 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: that there is that bias, but that doesn't affect how 613 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: you do business. And we don't pick up bias from you. Um. 614 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: We we we have the expectation for everybody on the 615 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: news that they're being unbiased, but we can tell that 616 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: they're not. We understand they're just reading the teleprompter if 617 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: you think it. Never in our lives have we seen 618 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: somebody get charged with a crime and then see that 619 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: crime get lessoned for them. We watched a guy with 620 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: a gun and a knife tackle Dave Chappelle live while 621 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: assaulting them. That's already a felony in California for the 622 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: fake gun, a felony for the knife, then a felony 623 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 1: for the assault. We watched three felonies get turned into 624 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor. Because we're trying to make it where it's 625 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: okay for people to respond if they don't like something. 626 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: And that's how the Will Smith Chris Rock things happens. 627 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: That's how I get a gun put on me for 628 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: telling a joke, and that guy doesn't go to jail, 629 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: and nothing happens, and there's no hub of things. Things 630 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: are changing at all times, and so we have to 631 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: understand that and make our moves accordingly. I must ask you, 632 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: because we are talking about it. I remember after the 633 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: Will Smith slap incident and Chris Rock. After Will Smith 634 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: slap Chris Rock, comedians were like it's crazy. Y'all don't 635 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: understand how tough it is for us out here. This 636 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. This happens all the time. I remember not 637 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: feeling like I was aware of comedians lives being threatened 638 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: or in danger. So you just say you had a 639 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: gun put to your head. We watch what happens with 640 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: um Dave Chapelle. The guy rushes the stage, got his 641 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: ass beat rightfully, So in your ass beat has never 642 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: given you leniency with the law. If I robbed the 643 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: bank and while in the process of me robbing the bank, 644 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: I dropped the gun and everybody in the bank whoops, 645 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: my ass is that less in my charge? No? You know, No, 646 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: you're going to jail. You did what? It don't matter, Yeah, 647 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Those things happened. Those things happen when 648 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: somebody benefits from those things happen. And then that's the 649 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: only time you see those things happen. And they can 650 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: tell you whatever story they want to. They tell you 651 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: a story where well, the police asked, did anybody or 652 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: want them to be arrested, and they didn't know, And 653 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: then the police asked the victim and you said so, 654 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: Then the police just didn't arrest him. Is that how 655 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: the police work? Have we ever heard of anything like that? 656 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: And Lifetime of course not No, so so Will Smith, 657 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: Chris Rock. You watch that? What do you think? How 658 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: do you digest it? I am in the production business. 659 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:18,840 Speaker 1: I understand what is worth doing for ratings. I understand 660 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: what it's worth doing when the industry is canceling one 661 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: black guy. I know what happens when they are going 662 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: to elevate another, and I know what happens when they 663 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: don't care about either of you. This is how quarterbacking go. 664 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: So the question is, Hey, your quarterback just got sacked. 665 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: Did we know we was spend to sack your quarterback? 666 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: We absolutely did. It was a play, buddy. We've been 667 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 1: rehearsing it, working it out. Mega sure that at some point, 668 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: when you get to this level, we can make sure 669 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: we knock you from a twenty million dollar man to 670 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: putting in the news that people won't hire you know more, 671 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: and your career is done. Yeah, so you said dollars 672 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: all that? You said what I'm saying that everything that 673 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: happens in a business that's based off of pretend that 674 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 1: seems like a setup is everythingbody that happens in a business. 675 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: Everything that happens in a business that seems that's based 676 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: off of pretend, that seems like a setup is Yeah. 677 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if Jesse Smoley and Lee Daniels 678 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: for a living make stories that are not real, and 679 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 1: they make them so good that people believe them and 680 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: buy them, and that that's what business they're in. Why 681 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: would you think it would be weird if they flipped 682 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: out and set a story that turned out to not 683 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: be true. Why why would we think that if they 684 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: are that's what they do for a living. They do 685 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: that three hundred episodes is take something fictitious and make 686 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: it seem real. That's the business. Why would you I 687 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: don't think understand that. But I don't think Will was 688 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: presenting very many mistakes. I don't think what was pretending that. 689 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: I thought he was having a nervous breakdown in front 690 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: of us. Well, here's the thing for a Will to 691 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: be having a nervous breakdown, for it to affect him 692 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: like that. This is collaborative. So for when Will Smith speaks, 693 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: Will Smith is not the giant that he is solely 694 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: on the merits of Will Smith or his family. There 695 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: are three hundred corporations that are a part of the 696 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: Will Smith business operation. That is the twenty million dollars 697 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: a movie, mega thing that Will Smith represents. And if 698 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: you are the people that are in business with him, 699 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: where you decide that you're gonna do something, you can 700 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: do it too. These circumstances are not we see him 701 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: as all. This is why he said something about his 702 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: wife and he got mad and jeopardize his career, and 703 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: then the other guy had to decide what he was 704 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna do with his career, and then he You know, 705 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 1: we have to understand that these are two giants in 706 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: our field. If you're a black person, this is two 707 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: guys too big and too good to be involved in 708 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: what they're in. That would make sense if it's me 709 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: and Michael Blackson slapping each other now, not Will Smith 710 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: and Chris Rock. These are when two large boulders come together. 711 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: And you can't see Chris Rock winning at all. He's humiliated. 712 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: If you were gonna slap a comedian, he was the 713 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: number one to slap head of the Coons, so slappable. 714 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna slap him, you just need the 715 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: greatest guy, the bestest guy, the one who's shown us 716 00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: him being on his best behavior since the nineties. That 717 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 1: guy is the one that would have to slap them 718 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: in order for the type of ratings we need an 719 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: attention to be on this thing. See what I'm saying 720 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: is in business, nothing is coincidental, or you would be 721 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: hearing who's losing money and all of these situations, it's 722 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: only the artist that's losing. Somebody makes big money when 723 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: these rappers get killed. Not incidental. Somebody made a one 724 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and now don't have to talk to 725 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: that artist or none of their crew, don't have to 726 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: validate none of their contracts. Now only got to deal 727 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: with the mama, only got to see her once a 728 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: year and it's over. And the money he goes up 729 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: and up and up. So they killed this twenty million 730 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 1: dollars guy, but they reached sixty million in benefits and 731 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 1: they have some people from your city do it. Wow, 732 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying there there's the good side and the bad 733 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: side of these businesses. But thinking about what you just 734 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: just think about what you just said, that's extremely thoughtful 735 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 1: and powerful. It could only be what it was if 736 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,839 Speaker 1: it were those two, those two Will Smith and Chris rocket. 737 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,720 Speaker 1: It could only be what it has been with those 738 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: particular those two black men, if you put any other 739 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: names together. Um, the police are out on stage, they've 740 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 1: cut to commercial. You didn't see what happened. By the 741 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: time they come out, people have been removed. It goes on. It. 742 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: It's certain ways things are handled when it's not intentional. 743 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 1: When things go smoothly, but they seem chaotic, that means 744 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 1: there was forethought in a plane somebody even if it 745 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 1: looks like, yeah, Jennet Jackson just had a wardrobe malfunction. Yeah, 746 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: there's no such thing, correct. Who I believe I believe 747 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,879 Speaker 1: that somebody benefited. Yeah, so in all of the situations, 748 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: there's a business involved and there's real money involved, as 749 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: somebody's benefiting from this thing that looks like, oh that 750 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: just happens. Nah, no way, no way. It would be 751 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: hard for a homeless guy to get into the Hollywood Bowl, 752 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: let alone a homeless guy be able to rush the stage. 753 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: And actually, so you're saying same for Dave Chappelle and 754 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 1: this random homeless person. I thought the same thing. I'm like, 755 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: how do you rush the stage? I've been to Hollywood Ball, 756 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 1: how do you rush the stage? Look, this is the business. 757 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: We're in the business where make believe happens. Where the 758 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: job is to have something that costs nine cents for 759 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,760 Speaker 1: us to make and we sell it for four ninety 760 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,760 Speaker 1: nine to you for a good deal. And it's okay 761 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: that it costs us nine cents. But in the in 762 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: this business, the star is the commodity. These are real people, 763 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 1: real lives. When things you see, things happen and you 764 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 1: don't have all of the information, The true tragedy is 765 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: what Jada Pinkett Smith is having to go through in 766 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: that scenario. Considering it, at most you can say maybe 767 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 1: she disappointed Will. Other than that she is upheld black 768 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:34,479 Speaker 1: women actresses. We've never been embarrassed of Jada Pinkett Smith. 769 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,919 Speaker 1: She always worked hard for every role and worked hard, 770 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,760 Speaker 1: and she always was willing to give us every She's 771 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: being successful through. She didn't get made by Will Smith. 772 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: Regardless of what you think about her relationship, that's not 773 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: your relationship. I love for you talking about Jada how 774 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: people have tried to vilify her space, especially after her 775 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: quote unquote entanglement. I think it's so disrespectful. I think 776 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: she has been nothing but class personified and you know 777 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like she could as a boy, she's 778 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: been more than that. More than that, she's been more 779 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: And I don't like how she's getting such a bad 780 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: rap because I was like, this is that's not what 781 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 1: this is when you go on No, there is a 782 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,720 Speaker 1: business where they fiddle with the perception of the people. 783 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: And that's part of the job. Back in the day 784 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: used to be called propaganda. Now it's just called business. 785 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: They don't say we got to smear the candidate. They 786 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 1: smear him. Who ever made Jewish? Who is qualified to 787 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: break you? That's the end of it. When they bought 788 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: you and put you on that Fox show, it was 789 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: because you were going to do this and only this. 790 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: You'll never do that. As soon as you breach that, 791 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: they've done with you, too fat, so fat. They have 792 00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: decided that they were finished with will when he did 793 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: After Earth with Jaden, because there was no way they 794 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: was gonna let Jaden, knowing because Jaden didn't have to 795 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,359 Speaker 1: do what you had to do to get in, We're 796 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: not gonna let you put jade man Willow. And from 797 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: there they've done what was necessary to take him from 798 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: a twenty million dollars a movie to put him in 799 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 1: a position where maybe it can appear he has a 800 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: nervous breakdown and now is unemployable. And it's not racist. 801 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: They did it with the white actors as well. They 802 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: cut down Angelina, Jolie and Brad Pitt and all of 803 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,439 Speaker 1: them from twenty million dollars a movie people to left 804 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: them out there to drive and restructure everything. This is 805 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,439 Speaker 1: business at its highest level. It just involves people's life, 806 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: and you can't understand that. So if someone's listening to 807 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: you and doesn't have an understanding of a little small 808 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: understanding of how this world works and how they build 809 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: you to destroy you, they can't really get what you're saying. 810 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 1: But it's real as hell. And I want to go 811 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: back to what you said earlier about women and how 812 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: important they are, and then you and then you and 813 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate you talking about how dope Jada is. I 814 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: feel like and it's even feel it's true. Women don't 815 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: get the credit that they deserve, especially Black women in 816 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: a society. We we sit here and were fighting on 817 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 1: the front lines for a lot of things and we're 818 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 1: told all the things we're not. And you said she's 819 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:29,800 Speaker 1: more than class, right, But there has to be responsibility 820 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 1: taken as well. Though. Sure, yes, we're yes, we're responsible. No, no, no, 821 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: that's not what I mean. What I mean whatever women 822 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: feel like they don't get credit for who were they 823 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: supposed to get it from? What do you mean, burth? 824 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: You burst us as a baby. We don't get to 825 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: be in charge of y'all. So the expectation that we 826 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 1: should be understanding what you are no, no, no, no 827 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 1: child is misconfused, of misinformed or um no, no child 828 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: is wondering what the relationship is between me, child and mama. 829 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. Yeah, every child instantly knows what 830 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: that relationship is and what it means. But something happens 831 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: between the time that you've given birth and you become 832 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,399 Speaker 1: an adult and you're indoctrinated by society and you feel 833 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: like it's okay to to to repeal row versus wade, Right, 834 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: Something happens in between and the society in which we 835 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: live in that says that we don't matter. We're given 836 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,919 Speaker 1: because it's a it's a it's a patriarchy, right, even 837 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 1: although we are the giver of life, it's still a patriarchy. 838 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: It's still male dominant. Yes, just because we're not equal. 839 00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: We're not equal. Yeah, we're superior. We keep trying to 840 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: put the sexes on equal footing, and the sexes can 841 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,800 Speaker 1: ever be on equal footing unless a man produces life 842 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 1: out of his penis. Other than that, it's never gonna 843 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: be equal footing. Now, in business, men were thought to 844 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: be better in business and handling business as societal things 845 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,280 Speaker 1: because of how great the woman was and how vast 846 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: her responsibility was before she ever left her home. So 847 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: the woman had already done eight jobs already at this 848 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 1: place we lived. This wasn't the great mother. This was 849 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: all mothers. They had got up, got the kids together, dead, food, 850 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: taking care of about it. Ain't no money she handling this, 851 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 1: she doing that, she got this house. It's to the 852 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: point where it would be like, why would I want 853 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 1: a woman to work? She do so much like women 854 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,720 Speaker 1: shouldn't even be able to do nothing else. They should 855 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: just do this thing they do and make life enjoyable. 856 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: And we the guys, go out and do whatever the tough, ugly, dirty, 857 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: nasty sink stuff is that makes money so that we 858 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 1: can bring that home and enjoy bliss at this house 859 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 1: with this woman. That's what everything was set up for 860 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 1: in the patriarchal system. It was respect first. It was 861 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 1: we respected what the woman brought to the table so 862 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 1: much that she shouldn't even be doing. Even in the 863 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: religions where they cover a woman and they'd be like, 864 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: that's so disrespectful to women, it's really not. Yeah, it's 865 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:49,360 Speaker 1: really because it's really refusing to let you be objectified. 866 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: Nobody can say she's fine. It's held because they don't know, 867 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: and because their religious book said that the devil came 868 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: down and found you attractive and you fell for that. 869 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: Then Adam and Eve you had sex with the snake, 870 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: and well that women can't be trusted with the heart. Yeah, yeah, 871 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying these are uncomfortable conversations one hundred percent stuff 872 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: like it's comedian. No comedian would pick these type of 873 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: conversations to talk about. In the first place, I could 874 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,280 Speaker 1: talk about having about movement and be funny for thirty minutes. 875 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 1: Guarantee I could just talked about, Hey, I went to 876 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: the drive too, and this took like I could tell 877 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 1: those type of stories with my time and be guaranteed 878 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 1: to be funnier than all of the peers I have. 879 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,360 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to have I'm trying to curate the 880 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: most impossible conversation to have commediically, and I try to 881 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 1: have it. So when it works well, it does um 882 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: when it doesn't, it doesn't. But we're all in this together. 883 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: We all have shared experiences. They are only top eight 884 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: type of people on the planet and everybody else is 885 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 1: an alien. We live in society where people don't believe 886 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: in aliens, but they do believe in the angels, and 887 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 1: they do believe in God, and you do believe that 888 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: loved one is going to heaven and they do, but 889 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 1: they don't. Yeah, So it's at a time where the 890 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: truth is still king. And sometimes you have to shame 891 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: the populace into having in these conversations. If it takes 892 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: me for me saying something stupid like a woman's vagina 893 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: is a fax machine for a conversation. You talk about 894 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversations, you always have them. It takes a lot 895 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: of courage to do that, and not even courage. Sometimes 896 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 1: it's just in you and you don't even know that 897 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: it is what it is. I ask you, what do 898 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 1: you need this? And I'll wrap with this because or 899 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: what or where do you find your piece you have. 900 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,640 Speaker 1: I can only imagine that your mind is going and 901 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: you're aware, and you observe, and you see and you think, 902 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: and you're ten steps ahead, if not thirty steps ahead, 903 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 1: and you're having these conversations with sometimes could appear in 904 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,439 Speaker 1: mere mortals who don't get it. Where do you find 905 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 1: your piece? How do you turn off? If at all possible? 906 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 1: I found in my whole life all I wanted to 907 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 1: do is be an explorer. I wanted to find out things. 908 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: I found out that information and knowledge is free, and 909 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: that you cannot know something one second and the very 910 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: second that you know something, that's an extra thing that 911 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, and it's a commodity of gathering information. So 912 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: I found out that a lot of times when we 913 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 1: can't get something to work, it's because we're misunderstanding the directions. 914 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 1: We understand the directions, but we're misunderstanding them. So, if 915 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 1: you follow religion, it says the Lord is my shepherd, 916 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: I shall not want, and then it goes on to 917 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: tell you other things. But I found out that that 918 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 1: first part is the actual instruction. The Lord is my shepherd, 919 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: I shall not want, and that's the end. And so 920 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: my piece is the fact that I don't want anything 921 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: ever from anywhere, any body, anything, any situation. I don't 922 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 1: have any expectations of you, them nobody are you a human? 923 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,320 Speaker 1: I don't have an expectation of you. I know how 924 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: this goes. You could do whatever you want to do. 925 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: I have no wants, I have no needs. Who I'm 926 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: connected to gives me every single thing I have ever wanted. 927 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: If I didn't get it, I found out I wasn't 928 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 1: supposed to have it. So now I don't even want 929 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: what I do want. I just know if I look 930 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 1: at something too long, I'm gonna have it. So when 931 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 1: you have no one s and no needs, you can't 932 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: be put in a desperate situation. You can't be pressed, 933 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 1: you can't be under pressure. You can only have peace. 934 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 1: And if someone is listening and you want to find peace, 935 01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: if you can find a body of water, however long 936 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: you can hold your breath under, there is peace. So 937 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 1: if you can only do ten seconds, and you can 938 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: give yourself ten seconds a peace underwater, you will find 939 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 1: that everything you need is within access of you. You 940 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: do not need anyone to complete you in anything or 941 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 1: any journey. You are complete the journey of this life 942 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,479 Speaker 1: is finding out that you were complete the whole time, 943 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 1: finding out that what you thought wasn't valuable was valuable. 944 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 1: To find out the people that were being oppressed were 945 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,919 Speaker 1: our most surprised jewel of all people. To find find 946 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 1: out that all these people were held down and they 947 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 1: run every thing. The world is great because of them. Um, 948 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: you open yourself up to that. It's important that you 949 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: understand that whatever it is you're missing in your life 950 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 1: right now, as long as it's not money, because remember, 951 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: money isn't real. It's just something that represents something. So 952 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,760 Speaker 1: when it was coli shells, it was, when it was paper, 953 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: it was, when it was coins, it was, when it 954 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: was rocks, it was. Now that it's bitcoin and it's 955 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: invisible like it does, it doesn't matter whatever it is 956 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: you think you're missing. You can access that. It is 957 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: able to be accessed by humans, and you are humans 958 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 1: and you are worthy, and it doesn't matter what it 959 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: looks like. That is what makes living on this planet 960 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: exciting and it is that way. So there, that's um, 961 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 1: that's how I get my piece. That's why it's not 962 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 1: chaotic for me. I understand when I'm punching that your 963 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: job is to try to punch me. Now I understand 964 01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: the rhythm of it. I don't celebrate because I understand 965 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:08,760 Speaker 1: that the punch is coming and that's you know. Yeah, 966 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: I got taught that from being a parent, because you 967 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 1: can never be a perfect parent. You can just do 968 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: the best you can. And that's the end of that conversation. Yeah, 969 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: because you don't know than your best not to you know, 970 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: And you're like, and that's all I have. I'm just 971 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 1: figuring it out this week. Go, that's all I have, right, 972 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 1: And I understand that all all of us are trying 973 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: to be better than our parents. We don't even know 974 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 1: what that means. Is different circumstances, like there are no 975 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: rule books like yeah, so you know when we understand 976 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 1: that you can control every single thing that you've been controlled, 977 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 1: but you can't control nothing. You can't control, and that's 978 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: the beauty of it. There's nothing stopping great things from 979 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 1: happening to you. That's why suicide is the only thing 980 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: you cannot do. You can never take yourself out of 981 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 1: the game. Don't worry, they'll cart Joe Park gets off 982 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 1: as soon as you expire. But we don't take ourselves 983 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 1: out the game because that's Champions. We know the next 984 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: game is the best game.
