<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Old news. Now everybody knows Steve.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, how'd you get in the comedy?

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Man? Just being black? Really? You know, I've been funny

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>since I was a kid. You know. I know people

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to think I was funny because I was inson,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But nah, I was jovially sarcastic in prison. They was

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>just I was the kid, the kid on the back

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of the bus. And then when I was in prison,

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I was the same way. Oh so y'all about to fight? Okay,

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna lose this fight? Twice? What you mean? I said?

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Because Okay, the mixplay one of y'all gonna win this fight,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and then the CEO is gonna come in and beat

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>up both of y'all. So wight. So that was my logic.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was just I was just a sarcastic, jovial,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sarcastic person, and when I got out, it was the

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>It was the goal. It was definitely the goal. And

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that became funny how I even got to start doing

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the goal because you start comming to you actually don't

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. You've seen it, but where do

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.560

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a it's a grocery store. First of all,

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't even have to name in the

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>grocer store. Just no, it's a grocery store. And she

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>works in the grocery store. But she had the forty

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred dollars lou of Tome bag and she's walking

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>into work and I was like, Nah, ain't nowhere in

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the world this lady working in this grocery store and

<v Speaker 1>she bought this She bought this bag. I just bought

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that bag from my mom. I know. Definitely a lady

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>who's a cashier cannot afford that bag. But in her mind,

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>in her mind, it's like my brother and my brother

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>got some ear rings and this is that only seen

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>three people in the world with him. It was saying

<v Speaker 3>I don't even know why people do that, Like what's

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 3>the point of fronting?

<v Speaker 3>believe that.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it. Then because of the knights of

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the round table, she knew that knew that CIRT was fake.

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.280

<v Speaker 1>you you realize that you you contributed to this in

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>some form of fashion from what you were doing in

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the in the early late eighties, early nineties, and then

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the spin off of these drug induced children that came

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>from the product of those people who you infected with

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that chemical.

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.640

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>kids take everything. You know, you know, generations, we had

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.199
<v Speaker 1>certain things. You know, you had the heroin, then you

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>had weed, then you had coke, then you had cracked.

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But these kids, A man put it on the table.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing all of it at once, crush it up.

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Just put in a ball.

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Host ex hero and hey, that's one.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>weed and drank and I'm a snorting little thumb. I

<v Speaker 1>want to do it. I don'tant my kids doing it.

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't want I don't want people doing it. The

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that you only got six years back then is

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 1>is because they were giving people football numbers. Who got

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>six years D six? I had six on the I

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>did six on the fifteen. Wow, And I had a

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and a ten that ran concurrent.

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I said, so they said you only got six.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I said, g man, no, you mean somebody. No, I

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't know nobody. I knew real Harris, my attorney. First.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>When I first went in, it was a fair case.

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>And they spect too. They come in there were just

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you three hundred months. And in your mind

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>they stay like that, yeah, three hundred months, And in

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>your mind you're like, okay, three hundred months. That ain't

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.319
<v Speaker 1>that ain't nothing. But I know math, and I'm like, nah, nah,

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you know three hundred months twelve Nah, we carried nah.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So they because they said it months would sound like

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>you can do it. Three hundred three hundred months out

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of it sound like days. But then when you do

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>go to calculating. So then it got dropped down the

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>state right in the state. The lady came in and

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>she was wild and the prosecute. She said, well, I'm

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.839

<v Speaker 1>Man, Yes, many people, man, it was. It was so

<v Speaker 1>I waited for two weeks, waiting for two weeks, came

<v Speaker 1>back T shirt and jeans, and I didn't write down

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>what I was doing because everybody was singing. Man. And

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 1>I never won at this bottle night because people hit

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.239
<v Speaker 1>you with the gospel songs. Even though I was I

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>was good gospel song every man I heard I sang.

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>The dude he was started rapping and was getting about

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to get booted and changed his song in the middle

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of the song, started singing about Jesus. So like this,

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>how you spell relief? Jay? You asked you like, So

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I changed my whole thing, went back up every week

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>for about a month and a half to the people.

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>As soon as I would get there after that, people

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 1>were like, yo, man, you're going up tonight. Oh he's funny.

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>So I ended up becoming the host of that same

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>place that I got booed and just joking, Comedy Cafe,

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was the host for like a year, and yeah,

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that's how it started.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember the joke that that got him, that

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 3>made you say, you know what, I can do this?

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I remember the jones that got him. It was

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a dude. A dude tried to boot me that was

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>on the football team, and I told him that he

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>was a he was a nose tackle. They wouldn't hike

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball because he liked the way the quarterback had

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>his hands on this ball. You know. He was a center.

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 3>You mean he's the center.

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I was like, yo, he he, I don't feel

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>like it. I remember it was that's when I was

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.120
<v Speaker 1>doing jokes you know, and stories, you know. So now

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a different thing. I don't think I've written

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a joke in maybe ten years.

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 5>So how did you turn into the storyteller comedian? Because

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 5>that's a lot of that's hard for people to do, Like,

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 5>it's hard, but it's hard.

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Deal. Deal, I'm I'm on the road with d L

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>and he he told me, he said, Yo, man, the

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 1>funniest you're going to ever be in life is based

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 1>on how honest you want to be. And this was

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>after some people when I was writing jokes. I don't

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 1>even blame the people anymore, because I think that when

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you have writers, that writers under the pressure of turning

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in something to another comic, and so they could see

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>your show and then turn in, Man, I don't have

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing this week. But if you try to get that check,

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>so you turn in somebody else's material to the person

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 1>who you have no idea that you that you just

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 1>sought it somewhere, and so now are you a thief?

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>So now I just I switched from doing jokes to

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>doing everything personally about me and if you would have to,

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and people still try to steal it. But it's hard

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 1>because now you know, it's a lot of comics that

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden they went to jail, but I

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.719
<v Speaker 1>went to prison. It's a different thing. Jailing a lot

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of people in the jail, but prison is two different things.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>So I would go up and people trying to doing

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>jail stuff in front of me. I'm like, but you know,

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that's not what I'm doing. I'm I'm walking through my

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>life from ten years old to now. So it just

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 1>happens to be the first comedy series of specials like these.

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>All these specials are tied together. So if you see

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>three now, which came out Mother's Day, you can't go

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 1>see you can't go see four without seeing one and two.

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:09.360
<v Speaker 1>So and one is one is the is the masterpiece,

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>but three is the best one to me thus far

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that I that I see, and two has a different,

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a different cachet to it because I was showing a

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>different skill set in the actual art of it, because

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it's two faces to comedy. You know, it's having a tragedy.

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So in two my sister passed, and well it's it's

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>late now, you know, you know, twenty years I haven't

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>seen it.

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 3>All the time. Grief is not linear. I don't know

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 3>how you're feeling this morning about.

0:23:54.720 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>It, man, twenty years ago to say years old?

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 6>Now?

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, man, Well I'm man. We dealt with God's crazy,

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:21.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, racked them up.

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:28.119
<v Speaker 7>About seven more. You can say, man, I can run

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 7>him off. After my sister with my son, then it

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 7>was my grandmother. Yeah, we we we mad hard ones.

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I heard about all of them.

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Brother, That's why I did loss, because that's one of

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the number one things in the black community that man,

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>death runs to our family a little harder than just

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a loss. Like now you got to figure out how

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to bury them and and all this. Man, I don't

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm I don't want not another gold fund. Don't send

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>me not another goal fund. Me. Let's try to figure

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.879
<v Speaker 1>out what is the situation that we need to prepare for.

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>When it's inevitable, it's death is gonna happen, we won't

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>even talk about it, which is hey, man, I think

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>about death every single day, every single day. So I

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>live a better life than most people because I know

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the time to be engaged in things

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that really I can't rectify. You know, I'm not gonna

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 1>hold a grudge behind something when I can get an

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>apology or I can apologize, you know, like, you know,

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 1>my whole intent to come up here because I was

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.880
<v Speaker 1>mad at you. Man, you were saying my name wrong,

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and you did it twice too. You know what I'm saying, Ali,

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like this man, know how to say my name? Ali?

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, talking about my special with somebody. Yeah, I

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's named Ali Ali. I'm like, and they send

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.320

<v Speaker 3>You know he knows because I kept hearing other people

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 3>say Ali while you was listening to other people.

<v Speaker 3>was talking about that special, especially in the comedy world.

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:21.960

<v Speaker 1>don't like me when when I get up, when I

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>finally get to the record, I'm leading. I'm leading with man,

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>why you're saying my name? Then I forget. Then I

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>left it alone. It's like whatever, at least he mentioned me.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all I had.

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.280
<v Speaker 3>But that first special took off though, Yeah, did you

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:02.680
<v Speaker 3>did you understand that it would do that, or it

0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 3>was just a risk coming Throw this on YouTube and

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 3>see what happened.

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Man, I thought it was really good. And when I

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.879
<v Speaker 1>do a special, it takes a while for it to

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>you know. I recorded probably three or four specials before

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.479
<v Speaker 1>that one, and it was like, no, it's not special.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>So Domino Effect the first one. I knew that it was.

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I knew it. It's like the first album I put out,

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>talking loud saying something that's my reasonable doubt, you know.

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So I knew once I put this one out, I

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.880
<v Speaker 1>knew it. I had that feeling about I was too

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>excited about it. Then it didn't have any flaws to it.

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's one thing when I look at something, I

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>don't want it to have anything that somebody can grab

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:46.120
<v Speaker 1>on to. Like. But but what about this? So when

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>when that happened, and then somebody said, well, what's the

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:54.439
<v Speaker 1>rest of the story, I said, what, Like, what happened

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>after that? I said, you want to know?

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 5>So they oh, so you had never even planned to

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 5>make it to keep on going with a series.

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, if somebody asked me about what happened after that,

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and I said, okay, well I stopped at sixteen. So

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>let's do it from sixteen to nineteen, and then when

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we get we did the first we did two, and

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>then I said, yo, let's finish up how I even

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>got incarcerated. People know I was there, but let's see

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>how I got there. And then we did three, and

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 1>we recorded three and four in DC at the same time.

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.120
<v Speaker 1>So we did two shows on that Friday and two

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>shows on that Saturday. So four comes out Father's Day.

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So we strategically put one on Mother's Day, one on

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Father's Day, and four is two hours long, you know,

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>versus the one thirty that I've been doing. And it's

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>getting to the pinnacle of how what I went through,

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I was in side and how did I get jovial

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to come out and want to pursue comedy. So after

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 1>this series, we're going to start another series called in

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the Shadows, which is the walk with me doing stand up,

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>getting it, being in a public in a public space,

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to be private because I'm on parole, and on

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>parole most people don't realize parole people. We try to

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>stay out the way because we know anything can get

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>us back incarcerated. So now you're trying to fight for

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 1>your innocens from a disposition of being incarcerated, and incarceration is,

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>especially mass incarceration is it's crippling. A lot of it

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 1>cripples a family because it's wear and tearing on a family.

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just you. You know, people think that

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 1>my mom was locked up right with me, you know,

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and because I'm there and she's concerned about me every day.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like when somebody go to gym. My mom, Nicky

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>would always say, why you always go get trade out

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of jail when he locked up? I said, man, because

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 1>something can happen just by being in there. Is the

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 1>oldest boy.

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Again, I mean just.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>The oldest boy, the oldest boy. You know, he's the

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>only one that's been in trouble thus far. You know,

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 1>hopefully nobody else is ever gets in trouble because my

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 1>oldest daughter, Jaden, she's a chef. She's she's the she's

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the spinoff version of me I'm talking about. Man, It's

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing like having somebody respect your daughter in the streets

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>like they respect you. And they always hey, man, I

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>saw your daughter. Man, she's a g man like appreciate you.

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You know you raised I raised a good one. But

0:30:56.520 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you know that that raising daughters. You also have this fear,

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>this constant fear, because you've been incss rated and you

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>know how people that's not really good navigate. And you know,

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I've sat down and I've talked to people who have

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.960
<v Speaker 1>attacked women and you know, and did all these these

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 1>file things in the world. So when you out in

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the street, everything I see is a red flag. It's

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just like you're like, man, so you know, hey, listen,

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this is a sign. They triggers them, you know, But

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell women I'm in I should be able

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to do yeah, but but but you know I should

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to do too, but I don't go.

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 3>And then you don't want to raise your kids out

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 3>of fear. But it's kind of hard not to, kind of.

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Hard not to because everything, everything that you've experienced, you know,

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 1>even with my sons, man, I'm I'm very fearful of

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>him having children out of wedlock with people that that

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>don't serve him. Well, like, I'm not that father who

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>like will tell my daughters this. Now, I'm more on

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>my son. A man, keep your penis in your pans, bro.

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Before you end up in a situation that you can't

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>get out of. Then some of these young men out

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>here nowadays. Man, they need some real talking to. I

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear about another young lady losing her

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:27.440
<v Speaker 1>life because her brother didn't understand no or or she

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>want to leave. You know, it's a man and I

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>have girls, and I'm and I'm I'm really concerned about

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the state of mind these young men because I'm like, yo, man,

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>what is your deal? But I understand, I know where

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes from. I don't understand these situations, but I

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>understand they don't. They don't communicate enough. They on this

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 1>machine all day, on this phone, and you you you don't, man,

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I got turned down. You know you need to take

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that walk what I'm saying. And just at a at

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a table with friends, you decide you for to go

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>higher as somebody and they look at it. Look, look, look, look,

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 1>look you cattle shoes on. You're gonna pick the wrong

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>one every time. And so hey, where you see me,

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm pregnant. You can't go to the next one. You know,

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you got to take that long walk of rejection back

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and forth. But I man, girls, also.

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 3>We didn't have a sense of entitlement because think about

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 3>even the note we used to write it was would

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 3>you go out with me?

0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 3>No, even the maybe, so you were prepared for whatever.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Man, do you understand having to ask the slow dance

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>after ask the dance because now that you be dancing,

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody walking behind you. No, And man, I had to

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:41.719
<v Speaker 1>go over there. Would you like to dance? And no? Cool? Right,

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:46.600

<v Speaker 1>all right? Not so because he likes it, all right,

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:09.520
<v Speaker 1>all right? And that's when I think that was a

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>That was a little era where people were trying to

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>be lighter. And I remember the bow legg era. You

0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>remember the bow legging air when dudes trying to stand

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like they were bow legged. No, do nothing, girl, dude.

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:29.839

<v Speaker 3>I want to ask you a question you said about

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 3>your son. When you're telling your sons about you know,

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:30.000

<v Speaker 1>This is what you don't want that mother? See all

0:35:57.080 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this fat mother all this fat mile. But my younger

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>son he has he has a little crisis going on hisself.

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 1>That that's Hassan. Hassan is thirteen and you have to hey, bro,

0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:15.839
<v Speaker 1>you need to respect your mother, respect your sisters. He's

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in he's entitled. And this is and this is my fault, man,

0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:23.440
<v Speaker 1>these these kids, it's slightly my fault and slightly uh

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the lady who lived in the house. This is the thing,

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 1>this is the thing. You have to give him chores.

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have any respe He's not responsible for anything.

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:35.880

<v Speaker 1>to say it in your face.

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't do the.

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Somebody said, yes, you know who's the somebody'? You know, No,

0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say who the somebody is? They said it.

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:03.879
<v Speaker 1>They I'm just I don't play them type of game.

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a straightforward person. And in its business, this business,

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of funny ballognais man that you can

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:17.239
<v Speaker 1>just tell me, no, bro, I got tough skin. I

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:21.040
<v Speaker 1>don't need the fake and shake. And so when you

0:43:21.160 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>try to handle me like that, I get a little,

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I get a little touchy and I and I'm not

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>one of that. I don't miss word. If I say

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do it, that's done. I'm not feel I don't.

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't play a lot. I wish I could with people,

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't play a lot with with the goofies.

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't do it. And and and it's

0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them. It's a lot of people say

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>say things and then act like they didn't say it,

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 1>or because you have more popularity, you can throw something

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>out there and people gravitate towards it. But man, I

0:43:55.600 --> 0:44:00.799
<v Speaker 1>always think about Benny Blanco. You the way you handle people,

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>that person is gonna eventually come back. You know what

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. And I tell people, Man, Benny Bonco from

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the Bronx, man, that man just wanted to talk to him.

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So I don't even handle young comics like that. It's

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 1>certain things. I'm gonna tell you. I don't want you

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:20.320
<v Speaker 1>in the green room when I get there. It's not

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:22.840
<v Speaker 1>your green room. You know. It's a certain code to

0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 1>how I came up. I don't go in the green

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:30.320
<v Speaker 1>room in my home club. If you're the headliner, until

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you invite me into that green room, I'm outside and disrespect.

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:37.239
<v Speaker 1>It's just a it's just a colde. If I'm the

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 1>feature or the host, I'm not going in the green room. Man.

0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:43.279
<v Speaker 1>That man. What if I'm on the show, We'll watch

0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 1>this Dick Gregory between each show. He used to sleep

0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:51.000
<v Speaker 1>just like Damon Wayne's. They sleep in between each show.

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna keep walking in out of the green

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:56.160
<v Speaker 1>room while they're in there sleep, disrespectful, disrespectful. It doesn't

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make sense. But it's so many people think

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that they entire to a space because you was there

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>at that club doing the open mic. That's the open

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 1>mic is not the show, but it's it's levels. So

0:45:09.760 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it's levels to all of it and then stand up.

0:45:13.360 --> 0:45:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the barriers have gotten broken due to a

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:23.360
<v Speaker 1>combination of things. When people used to talk about the

0:45:23.440 --> 0:45:28.919
<v Speaker 1>internet comics, did they ally they taking our they taking

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:35.799
<v Speaker 1>our slots, just not taking your slot. Way the people

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:38.120
<v Speaker 1>who were doing sketches, they weren't taking your slot. The

0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:42.520
<v Speaker 1>comedy club, it was like this, we have a building. Yeah,

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:49.759
<v Speaker 1>we need people, people, We need people, just as can

0:45:49.840 --> 0:45:54.080

<v Speaker 1>on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but we're going to make this

0:45:56.719 --> 0:45:58.919
<v Speaker 1>money on Wednesday and Thursdays. And we had a magic

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:03.239
<v Speaker 1>show on Tuesday before you. Okay, I'm saying, and if

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I had defense, I had comedy defensive driving on Sunday.

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying the doors open so we can have a

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:14.880
<v Speaker 1>place to do comedy. You was looking people was looking

0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 1>at them as skipping the line. No, it's no skipping

0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the line in his business. You can jump forward. But

0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:26.439
<v Speaker 1>then what make you have to come back?

0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Hm.

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Skill set when you first started, you know how to

0:46:31.560 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 1>stand up, you on the screen. Now these people that

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.239
<v Speaker 1>you were, that you were getting on the screen, now,

0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>these people right here, it's no like I'm gonna okay, y'all,

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:47.439
<v Speaker 1>y'all saw what I just did. I'm going to cut

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that and I'm gonna come back and say something different. No.

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Then then what happened was the Internet god started getting

0:46:55.840 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>success and then they start big dogging the stand up

0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:04.319
<v Speaker 1>experienced stand up saying, oh I'm I'm making my money.

0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You run. But then pandemic happened. Now everybody got a

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:15.320
<v Speaker 1>humble their self again because I can't my editor and

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:16.880
<v Speaker 1>my people not in here. I don't have nobody to

0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>do these schedules with. Now, now comics were reigning supreme

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:23.399
<v Speaker 1>doing that. We just cutting the camera on boom, what's

0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:26.200
<v Speaker 1>up baby, I'm here, you know. So that's how it

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:31.120
<v Speaker 1>now it's emerging. Now you haven't heard a beef about

0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Internet versus traditional because now everybody is back. You had

0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to go to the club and work. They had to

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:44.280
<v Speaker 1>come from behind the screen. Then people like me started

0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:47.920
<v Speaker 1>using the screen to just promote that I'm gonna be

0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:50.520
<v Speaker 1>somewhere instead of just instead of shutting because I'm I'm

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:53.239
<v Speaker 1>old school. I'm yo, man, I've been doing standing up

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:57.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty six years. I'm in the trenches. It's different for me,

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.759
<v Speaker 1>and now I have both, you know, now I have,

0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>But I wasn't trying to find out, trying to get

0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>on the way of the algorithms and all that. Now

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 1>pay somebody to do that. But the slapsticks and the

0:48:11.400 --> 0:48:17.439
<v Speaker 1>the the shock comics. Now we're back to at least

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:20.399
<v Speaker 1>with me, it is back to loan form. People told

0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:24.080
<v Speaker 1>me that the what they told me they don't really

0:48:24.400 --> 0:48:27.400
<v Speaker 1>listen to that much. They're not gonna watch the whole thing.

0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:31.359
<v Speaker 1>So I started putting out longer than just an hour.

0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:34.839
<v Speaker 1>He was like, nah, this is what I want to hear.

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Now you engaged in the story. If you watch Law

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and Order, you watched John Wick, Why you wouldn't watch

0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 1>a series of something That's funny because my only skill

0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 1>set is just tell stories the same way that I

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:49.399
<v Speaker 1>grew up hearing them. You know, my uncle, They that's

0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:52.080
<v Speaker 1>how they started a man Let me tell you about

0:48:52.080 --> 0:48:54.880
<v Speaker 1>this big legal lady. I just met you, Like what

0:48:55.040 --> 0:49:01.000
<v Speaker 1>big leg lady? Then you you my grandma, she'd come

0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 1>in and tell my aunt. You know, I tell stories

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>just like people in your family. So it's not a

0:49:06.719 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not a magic trick to it. I read books

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and I listened to the ancestors how they did things,

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and I try to put that together.

0:49:17.680 --> 0:49:18.759
<v Speaker 3>And that's relatable.

0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:21.960
<v Speaker 5>And a lot of people don't have that though, Like

0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:23.360
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying, a lot of it's not

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:27.480
<v Speaker 5>it's not it's easy for people like you know, like

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:29.719
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the like internet comics, they don't know

0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:33.040
<v Speaker 5>how to keep people's attention like you can do that.

0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:35.879
<v Speaker 5>You're a great storyteller, and like you said, you tell

0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:38.799
<v Speaker 5>it like your family member, like you know, just like people,

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:41.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, people you grew up here and telling stories.

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>People don't know how to do that. That's back and

0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that's when I'm sitting down with when the last time

0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you sat down and you listen to a story from

0:49:51.360 --> 0:49:51.959
<v Speaker 1>somebody in your.

0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Family like an aunt or all the time love it, yes,

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 2>all the time you.

0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Got you had it. So if you was telling the story,

0:50:00.520 --> 0:50:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you would probably do it the same way that you've

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:06.600
<v Speaker 1>always seen it done. If people have these disconnected families

0:50:07.400 --> 0:50:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and they don't never a man when the last time

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you saw your aunt? What? I don't know, but I'm like, nah,

0:50:16.200 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for my cousins to call me and say, man,

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:21.840
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you what your aunt did yesterday you

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:24.160
<v Speaker 1>almost fell off a boat, and I'm gonna listen to

0:50:24.239 --> 0:50:26.399
<v Speaker 1>the whole story. I'm gonna listen to the whole entire

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:29.960
<v Speaker 1>story because and then I'm calling. Then I'm calling, oh,

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:33.880
<v Speaker 1>see you out here falling off boat. I can't even

0:50:33.880 --> 0:50:36.879
<v Speaker 1>wipe the call. We told you that because I grew

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:40.080
<v Speaker 1>up with them, with the whole I never did nothing

0:50:40.160 --> 0:50:43.040
<v Speaker 1>private in my family. If if I did it, my

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 1>mother called everybody and then everybody know, I mean people

0:50:48.680 --> 0:50:50.759
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't even think and you mind your own

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>ben your uncle. So you just around here pining in

0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the bed, Hey man, we are and I mean we

<v Speaker 1>pissed through a mattress. What you talking?

0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:18.480
<v Speaker 5>And these are still things that people are going through

0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 5>so it's relatable. It's gonna always be relatable.

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Family.

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.680
