But again sometimes 91 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: money in the wrong way can lead you into, you know, 92 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: bad stuff. So him passing away really like made me 93 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: want to be a better father because I knew he 94 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: wanted to be there for us, And it's like, let 95 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: me be. 96 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: There for them. 97 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: Did he pass away? 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: He got set up? Yeah? 99 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: So he's like yeah, So it was him. And that's 100 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: another thing I learned a lot from that. Like my 101 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: daddy he got he was he was, he was smart. 102 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: So the person that, like my daddy situation was he 103 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: got killed in the car and the person who did 104 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: it was somebody that he was comfortable with because my 105 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: daddy never let nobody sit behind him. So the person 106 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 3: who did it was it was him and his girlfriend 107 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: in the car. And the thing is, they said they 108 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: feel like my daddy knew it was coming because he 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: tried to get my girl, his girlfriend, out of the car, 110 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 3: and he's trying to drop problem. She's like, nah, I 111 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: want to ride with you, like I want to ride 112 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: with you while you're making place. And that person killed 113 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: both of them. And that's why I tell certain people, 114 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: even for women, you gotta watch who you date, because 115 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: just if she wasn't with him, she would probably probably 116 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: still be allowed to this day. So on the side, 117 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: I feel sorry for her family too, because she got 118 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 3: what was coming from my daddy. So you gotta watch 119 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: all you date in the world because you never know 120 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: what could come your way. 121 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, how old were you? 122 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: I think I was like eleven or twelve. 123 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: How did that impact you in that moment as a child, 124 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: because you're still growing in those are formative years. 125 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: Him, it didn't. 126 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: It didn't impact me a lot.

It's 1101 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 3: my job to make it funny. And that's no difference 1102 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 3: from Kevin Hart. They got a script before he probably, 1103 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 3: but let me say that Kevin Hart way, yeah, and 1104 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 3: now it's funny yet. 1105 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 2: So that's something I gotta do.
