1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: We gotta do a countdown check the mic.

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: Everything good, Kevin Set one, Sex, five, ten nine.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, You listen. Before I do these out of

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: context conversations, I like to set my intention. So my

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: intention for this combo is to properly shine the light

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: on the historic career of Kevin Hart, the entertainer, the mogul.

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: I want to put who you are and what you

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: have done in its proper context for people.

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: I love it.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Okay. Now, you once said in an interview, you said

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: life is a book, and you determine how it ends.

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: What would you title this chapter of your life.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: Understanding? I would say understanding forty five years old, and

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: I understand the purpose, I understand the value, I understand.

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: The real reward.

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, this is about this is about clarity.

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: This is about having a bigger and better vision based

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: off of my now understanding.

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Twenty years ago, when you was twenty five, how would

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: you define success?

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: What did it look like to you success at twenty five?

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Well, just when you were twenty five, Yeah, what did

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: success look like to you?

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: Success at twenty five was.

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: No free weekends because you were booked, whether it was

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: comedy clubs or colleges, the stand up calendar was full.

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: The only thought was comedy, right, and I think you

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: know the opportunities for acting that came and sprinkled in

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: here and there. It was cool moments, but the stand

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: up and being a headliner in state end up, nothing

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: was bigger and better than that. So how do I

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: get a full calendar?

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: How has achieving the success you've achieved reshaped your definition

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: of what you thought success was twenty years ago?

35
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's completely different. You know the success success

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: is like.

37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: It's layered because you think it's financial, and then after

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: that you think it's material once you get financial, and

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: then it makes a weird shift where it turns into

40
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: like happy, right, And what level of success do you

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: have to reach for you to understand that happy is

42
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: always it should always be the first thing. And how

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: do you get that? How do you get to that?

44
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: The success is like it's a journey. It's a journey

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: that you embark on and go through all this stuff

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: to get there and go, I was I was this then?

47
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Like I was I was happy and I was vibrant

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: and that was fun. And as you obtain more your workload,

49
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: your stress, you want your need, Like everything starts to

50
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: come into play a little differently, So it boils down

51
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: to how do you get to the role of happy

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: and understanding the value of a circle, your friends, your family,

53
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: et cetera. Like that's that's where your thought process starts

54
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: to drive more towards as you get older. So the

55
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: biggest thing is happiness. Man, at the end of the day, like, are.

56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: You doing what you love?

57
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Do you do you absolutely find joy and that thing

58
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: that you're dedicating yourself to on a day to day basis,

59
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: And does it make you better? Does it bring the

60
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: best out of you? Does it bring the worst out

61
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: of you? Like you gotta you gotta start to do that.

62
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: So my joy now comes in helping and creating opportunities

63
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: to see other people get to the place or.

64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: To help position of the people.

65
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Correctly to do the thing that they want to do,

66
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: or to find the happiness and a thing that they

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: are thriving towards.

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: That's my new that's my new happy.

69
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Have you have you always been happy through through every

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: stage of this business and this career of yours? Have

71
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: you always been happy because you always present very happy? Yeah?

72
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm not a I'm not an unhappy person, right like,

73
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a good person, good energy behind me, But

74
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: my patience isn't you know, my patient. My patience isn't

75
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: as long as it should be. My patience is extremely thin,

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: because you know, the the more work you take on,

77
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: the more you're dealing with it on day to day.

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: So I think I've definitely been spread thin. And in

79
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: being spread thin, you because of your your your training,

80
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: you got one track that you're on in the the

81
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: only thing is this everything else in the way that

82
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: kind of has to be pushed to the side. So

83
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: my happiness at one point was coming on just trying

84
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: to achieve the goals. And I think during that time

85
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: I probably overlooked a lot of things that were real

86
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: definitions of true joy and true happiness. But because I

87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: had the tunnel vision, I was focused on this thing.

88
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: So I don't think I don't think I've never not

89
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: been happy. I think that i've I think I've definitely

90
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: been absent minded at times.

91
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that you always haven't had success,

92
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: right like when you think about twenty years ago, you

93
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: got a shot in the industry, you had to sitcom

94
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: on ABC, the Big House, major motion picture Soul Plane,

95
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: And it was once said that you already had those

96
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: deals when you came to LA, and no one had

97
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: ever heard of a comedian who came to LA and

98
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: his first year in LA had all of that. People

99
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: never heard of that before you are since you. So

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: my question is, how did you achieve all of that? keV?

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: I mean, that's nuts. It's just it's insane to assume

102
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: that somebody came and was given anything, like I think

103
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: for those people to really follow my career and then no,

104
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: like I don't. I don't think there's bigger definitions of

105
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: hardship and work and success and takeaway. Right, So, early

106
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: stages of my career, doing the comedy festival, just for

107
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: last comedy festival, Oh my god, went there, killed it.

108
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: Holy shit, this is this is it. This is where

109
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: everything's going to come. Getting a deal at that point

110
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: in time was a big deal. I think there was

111
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: like two hundred thousand dollars. I got a dealtval Well.

112
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: I got a deal coming out of the festival because

113
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: basically I met with studios, Networks, et cetera, and they

114
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: said we're gonna do a development deal with you.

115
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: People forgot about those.

116
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: Development deals don't exist. No more talent development deals. This

117
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: is when comedians and the prime of their career got

118
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: opportunities coming out of these comedy festivals. And the Just

119
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: for Last Festival was like the biggest, the new faces.

120
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: It's like a showcase.

121
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: Yes, so agents, studios, et cetera were all there.

122
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 3: I get this deal.

123
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: I believe it might have been with NBC, NBC or

124
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: ABC at the time, and you know, this is it.

125
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: I got the money, life change. I can do some

126
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: stuff for my family. Whatever money goes, nothing comes out

127
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: of the deal. Nothing. Well that was short lived. Later

128
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: I get the opportunity to develop a series, create a series.

129
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: This is the Big House. And the opportunity came for

130
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: me learning how people were developing, writing and pitching. So

131
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: I was like, I can go back and the same

132
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: people I met with with my deal, I can start

133
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: pitching too. I want to pitch shows or pitch ideas

134
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: and doing that, we pitched a Big House. Big House

135
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: gets picked up. Finally I got a sitcom. This is

136
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: gonna be great. We shoot, we shoot the Big House,

137
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: We shoot the pilot. Pilot gets picked up. Time for

Speaker 2: me to go to New York do the upfronts announce it.

139
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: Before I take the stage to announce my show is

140
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: going to be on ABC and this is the biggest

141
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: thing ever. They pulled me back and they said they're

142
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: deciding not to pick up your show. Wow, get right there.

00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,720

00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe two or three. Pulled it, canceled it.

00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: back on the grind.

Speaker 3: I'm in the world of auditioning.

Speaker 2: with Soul Plan. Jessice Terrero was like, that's my guy.

159
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: I want him.

160
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: Soul Plane his bootleg, biggest boot leg ever.

161
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: My success came from the bootleg and give soul playing

162
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: because people started to remember me and my success came

163
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: from Paper Soldiers and that underground movie and in the

164
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: bootleg circuit up so the memorable, the memorable side of understanding.

165
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's the guy from Oh shit, that's the comedian from.

166
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: I just started doing comedy clubs.

167
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: So I said, all right, fuck the acting stuff.

168
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go focus on the comedy.

169
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: So I went, I just did a comedy grind like

170
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: nobody's business.

171
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: It was a little Wayne Mixtape level comedy ground.

172
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: I went. I went. I remember so when I tell you,

173
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: I was so adamant about the comedy clubs. Stand up

174
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: any stage, any room, New York. Get the people, get

175
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: the fans, Go get the emails, go back, tell them

176
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm coming back to the city again.

177
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: City Chicago's Cleveland.

178
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: Since then, you name it. I did that ship for

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: about I want to say I probably put in like

180
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: five years of non stop comedy club work, and over

181
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: that five years gathered the audience, gathered the nice amount

182
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: of emails.

183
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: This is when.

184
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Speak speed by that because you were in these comedy clubs. Yeah,

185
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: I remember this. You were you were getting everybody's.

186
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: Email email and you had a newsletter that you yes, yeah,

187
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: I would, I would. I literally got Dang Cook is

188
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: one of the first people to like really embrace his

189
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: fans in the development of the relationship with the fans, right.

190
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: Dang Cook was one of the early early people that

191
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: I heard talk about this. And at this time, Dang

192
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: Cook was like, boom, I mean HEU. So I'm like,

193
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: I gotta get emails and I got to talk to

194
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: the people. So I would do these newsletters for the

195
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: cities and I would, I would send them. I was

196
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: sent them out as a blast Like MySpace had a

197
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: feature at the time where you could basically like geotag

198
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: I'm coming to Cincinnati, and on your midspace you can

199
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: look for the people in Cincinnati. And I would personally

200
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: send out messages I'm coming to the Cincinnati I'm performing,

201
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Come see me perform. I mean you're copying, pasting the

202
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: same messages over and over again. Some people came, some

203
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: people didn't. But at the end of the shows, I

204
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: would know who came, and I would know the result

205
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: of me individually telling people to come out because I

206
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: would be able to match the emails addresses help with

207
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: things that I saw on the MySpace paids, So I

208
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 2: was like, between these things, if I stay true to it,

209
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: it'll work. So me and my guys, the Plastic Cupboys,

210
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: we would go to the city land, go to a mall,

211
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: pass out flyers, tell people about the show, get emails.

212
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Then we would go to the show perform as people

213
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: were walking out getting emails. I used to have cards

214
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: and I would have cards on the table. People would

215
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: fill out the cards. I would take them. So then

216
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 2: at the end of the weekend, everybody that came, hey guys,

217
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: when I come back, I'm gonna make sure you all

218
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: know thanks for coming out. I built the rapport for

219
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: five years maybe more. I was very consistent with that

220
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: raport colleges. I was performing at showcases for colleges and

221
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: gathering that personnel. I didn't give a fuck where people were.

222
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: If it was people there, I was going to go

223
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: and I was going to personally make sure you knew

224
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: who I was and that I knew who you were.

225
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: So when I did Shacks All Star Comedy Jam that

226
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: that dropped. After I did Grown Little Man and I

227
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: was about to do seriously funny, I forgot the order

228
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: of it. But I was doing these comedy specials, and

229
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: it was for Comedy Central. It's gonna be my specials,

230
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: all right. It was like a little bit of knowledge,

231
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of a little bit of steam off

232
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: of them.

233
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: The comedy club is getting a little full.

234
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: After the Shacks All Star Comedy Jam, I don't know

235
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: what happened, but that shit, that shit hit harder than anything.

236
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: And then I did Seriously Funny, so people were like,

237
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: whoa Shacks Star Star Comedy Jam? And then I did

238
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: different material, seriously funny, Okay, after seriously funny. Well that's

239
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: when it was it was okay, shit, this guy's like

240
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: the real deal. So it went from comedy clubs to

241
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: theaters real fast. I mean, right now, you're witnessing it

242
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: with Matt Rife, Like I remember that, like Matt Rife.

243
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: It's a weird thing that happened where Matt was in

244
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: comedy clubs and he was doing his like little things,

245
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: and the TikTok thing hit for him, and all of

246
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: a sudden, Matt Rife is doing shows. It arenas Matt

247
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Rife sold out and he's It happened so fucking fast.

248
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: So when that happened, I said, well, I don't want

249
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: to run away from the thing that I was doing.

250
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: I got to tell people, I am now going to

251
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: the theaters, right, the theaters. I'm gonna be at the theater,

252
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: not the comedy club. Well, theater's selling out so fucking fast.

253
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: So now I don't have to do the email ship

254
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: no more.

255
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't have to turn the social media too.

256
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: This when social media just started, right, this is when

257
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: all of the ship look out of the time was

258
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: getting past. Oh man, the tickets are selling, so we're good.

259
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have to do this like I

260
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: once did. Twitter.

261
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: Twitter is now so now Twitter I learned.

262
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: What that is, and I'm like, oh wait, I can

263
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: talk directly to my like to the people that follow me.

264
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: Go back to the world of emails. I'm on Twitter.

265
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Here's my act name. Make sure y'all follow me.

266
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: I remember all of it.

267
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: So all the people that I gathered from all of

268
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: these cities. Name of city during that time, Detroit name

269
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: A fuck, I don't give it. Every city. I don't

270
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: care if it's an A market, B market, C market.

271
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: I went everywhere. Once I said follow me on Twitter,

272
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: all right, well I'm out the gate. I had like

273
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: three hundred some thousand followers.

274
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were the first person we knew what

275
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: a million followers. I was like, oh shit, you got

276
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: a million followers.

277
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: I said, I gotta talk to them. So now the

278
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: emails that I was sending that people were on privy

279
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: to are now a person of person conversations. Now the

280
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: shows are getting bigger, the theaters are getting bigger. We're

281
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: adding shows. We're going from two thousand seaters to five

282
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: thousand seaters. And just like that, as a headliner, I changed.

283
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: I changed the way I looked at how I developed comedy.

284
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: I said, I need to have a system in place

285
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: that allows me to stay on the road and come

286
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: off the road. I shot two specials as The Grown

287
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: Little Man that is seriously funny. The Shocks All Star

288
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: thing was like a favor. I was like, Shacks said, keV,

289
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: you want to do this thing. Jeff Clanning Kingo's my partner, especially,

290
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: was a favor. All these things hit. I was like,

291
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: all right, well, I can't fuck this up. So now

292
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: I said, I'm going to go and I'll do a tour.

293
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: My tour should always last a year and a half

294
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: and I'll end my tour with the filming of a

295
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: comedy special and then I'll develop another set through the

296
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: course of a year and a half to maybe maybe

297
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: close to two. So I had an own season offseason,

298
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: but it always gave a two year gap in between

299
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: stand up, so I never oversaturated myself in the market.

300
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: So toil this date, there's always a two year window

301
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: in between my specials. But during that off year, I'm

302
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 2: developing the new material. So when I come back and

303
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: announce a tour, while I'm coming back with new material

304
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: in the new road, and by the time I filmed

305
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: the next special, It'll be two years past before the

306
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: last one step repeats that repeat. So I built the

307
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: process based off of hard work, understanding, and commitment, and

308
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: that commitment came from the failed opportunities in Hollywood. They

309
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: threw my TV show back at me, the movies that

310
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: I had the opportunities to start and did not work

311
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: in a successful template of working in the business. Paper

312
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: Soldiers wasn't a box office success, it wasn't a theater released,

313
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: it was a straight to DVD. Soul Plain was supposed

314
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: to be a box office success, got bootleg basically another

315
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: straight to DVD if you ask me so, because I

316
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: mean the rest part from you talking about we got two,

317
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: you got something like a business, and you got thirty five. Right,

318
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: So these are all of mine, These are my big opportunities.

319
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: At that time, none of this shit was huge successful.

320
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: This was all These are all culture culture like cultural

321
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: fucking pieces of IP that we grabbed on two and

322
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: supported and loved. So because of that, the fan base

323
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: got better with stand up. But I went back to

324
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: stand up. I was like, I'm out this la shit.

325
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here waiting by the phone. I'm out. I

326
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: went back and hustled stand up and was just in

327
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: the grind of stand up specials until.

328
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 3: Will Packer came to me.

329
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: This was after laughing my pants is I want to say,

330
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe my third or fourth special And

331
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Will came over and think, like a man, we're talking

332
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine, I don't know, maybe third

333
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: or fourth.

334
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: The reason I'm glad you're having this conversation when you

335
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: think about all of these opportunities you had, I see

336
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: you doing that for other black creatives. Now, so when

337
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Rush Paul had the opportunity he puts you in something

338
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: names had the opportunity he put you in something. Will Packer,

339
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: he puts you something, Shack, he put you in something.

340
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: You're doing the same exact thing for people. Now.

341
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: You know. The realization though, man, is like the people

342
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: are putting you in something because they have something to

343
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: put you in. Right right, We're in a time now

344
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: where it changes because the expectation of what you're supposed

345
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: to do doesn't match the energy of what you're actually doing.

346
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: And I think you know that line has blurred a

347
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: little bit. Like Shack called me, Jeff called me. I'm like, yeah,

348
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: of course, it just so happened that that was the thing.

349
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: But they were doing a thing at the same time.

350
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: It matched up.

351
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to create more things that can hopefully be

352
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: the thing.

353
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: For someone else. Now, you don't know.

354
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't have it. I don't have a strong grasp

355
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: on the business to go. This is gonna launch you.

356
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: You can be a star. Get ready, here it come.

357
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: I just know, like, hey, man, I got some dope.

358
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: IP I want to create some movies or mine. Some aren't,

359
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: but hey, here's opportunities. Here's a blender of opportunities that

360
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: I can put people in and continue it and grow

361
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: within it. I mean, when you look at just what

362
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: we're doing at Heartbeat in the scripted and unscripted space.

363
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: It's all based off of the new version of our

364
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: generation acting, comedians, writers, directors, etc. I'm saying, if I

365
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: can do three to four projects a year and we

366
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: got new faces in them, I'm doing my part. If

367
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: I can say, hey, man, we're gonna shoot forty comedy

368
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: specials and we're gonna have those comedy specials on our

369
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: fast channel and on this distribution platform, I'm not only

370
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: giving them a stage, but I'm also giving them visibility.

371
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: I'm doing my part, right Like, at this point, what

372
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 2: is my part?

373
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: Where is my.

374
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: Value best served? And I feel like it's best served

375
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: in creating the opportunities for others. And you know, if

376
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: somebody pops off of something that I put to the table, man,

377
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: I think that's the dopest story ever. To just be

378
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: a part of the early stages of the next person's

379
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: the next person's journey, I would be fucking beyond blessed.

380
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: How does it feel knowing that you have achieved so

381
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: much success that people think you're an industry plan.

382
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the biggest compliment ever, right you when

383
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: you hear things like that. You just you got to

384
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: give a nod to common sense versus lack thereof. You know,

385
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: I had a conversation with my daughter one day and

386
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: she was asking a question and like debating off of

387
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: the hype emthetical of if something was real versus not,

388
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: And I said, you know, everything is researchable if you

389
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: really want to know it, if people really care, you

390
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 2: really want to know things, it's very easy to go

391
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: do some research. And actually beyond easy, it's like it's

392
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: dumb proof today, like Google has. It's so dumb proof

393
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: that you can actually type in the dumbest version of

394
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: a question and Google will correct your question and give

395
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: you the right side of your question with the options

396
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 2: for you to go find the thing that you're looking for.

397
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: So if you really give a shit, you can go

398
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: and see.

399
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the industry plant conversation is what is it?

400
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Like when you when you really

401
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: break that down, it means.

402
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: It means that's why I want you to tell you

403
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: a story, And I'm glad it's the story, Like you said,

404
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: the stories out there people want to know. It means

405
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: that somebody puts you in this position. Yeah, and press

406
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: the button yeah, and that's the god.

407
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 2: So when I say, what does that mean? Like, what

408
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: are we talking about? So if that's the case of success,

409
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: is that easy? How many different versions of that would

410
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: you see to day? And by the way, wouldn't those

411
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: be the stories that were highlighting because they're all false?

412
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 2: Like if that's the case, I mean, some things get

413
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: so ridiculous that catch on.

414
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: It's just.

415
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: It's astronomically insane to process. No, I could give two

416
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: ships like I mean, that's why you don't hear me

417
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: address shit or fire bag of shit. It's like you

418
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 2: got time to address and talk and come back at

419
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: people when you have time. I don't. I don't have

420
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: the time like I and not because yeah, not because

421
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: I'm an asshole, but I'm actually I don't. I don't

422
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: have the time. I don't have the time to give

423
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: a rebubble that or the energy to give that any

424
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: type of outside thought. And like I said, if it's

425
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: if it's something that people are really curious about or

426
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: people really wanted to know, it's great researching.

427
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: I got a list of things that are taking up

428
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: your time. Correct me if any of these things have changed.

429
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: One people think you're in the Illuminati, because you're not

430
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: just a comedian, you're a businessman. Yeah, let's just listen

Speaker 1: You partnered with brands like Chase Bank, Nike. I was

436
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: told you invested in draft Kings and you're invested in

437
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Hydro which is a rowing machine company. There are plenty

438
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: of comedians who are just comedians. You are a businessman

Speaker 1: who are what contributed to that business actimen.

440
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: Early stages of growth Jeff Clan again, Jeff Clan again.

441
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: I want to say, is an asset that sparked my

442
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 2: entrepreneur side of thinking and just from him saying or suggesting,

443
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: hey man, instead of us going this way, why don't

444
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: we do this ourselves? So taking the money from tour

445
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: and using that money to fund I stand up Special

446
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: and then taking my stand up Special and distributing it

447
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: through a AMC. And when we did that the big win.

448
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: It just made me understand investment and return right or

449
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: all out the return on your investment. We took seven

450
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty grand shot our comedy special, released it theatrically.

451
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: It did like nine million theatrically. Theaters take their cut.

452
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: After the theaters take their cut, we get back. I pie.

453
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I walked away with like close to two and a

454
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 2: half three million dollars. Right, Oh shit, seven point fifty

455
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: turned into three.

456
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: That's investing. So like, how does that work?

457
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: How do you grow businesses in a manner where you

458
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: can invest and then ultimately see a return. Well, you

459
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: got to have businesses, You have to have ideas. More importantly,

460
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: you got to own shit. I started to understand the

461
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: importance of owning shit. I realized that how many people

462
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: that do the same thing that I do that don't

463
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: own shit. There's no shot to any of them. But

464
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: once we're done, right, once we once we say good night,

465
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: and we're done doing the job that we've chosen to

466
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: do forever, you got to look back. And when you

467
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: look back, what do you see? Early on, I saw

468
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: that studios had these amazing catalogs. These catalogs are so dope,

469
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: they're great, And the value of these catalogs for studios

470
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: is significant because it's the talent attached to them. Allow

471
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: some studios to leverage that talent that IP to go

472
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: out get more money so that they can go out

473
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: shoot develop more IP of the same ultimately to build

474
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: that catalog so that that catalog is a definition of

475
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: representation of their value. Their value continues to grow and

476
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: jump based off of star power and work for hires

477
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: that are fined with receiving the dollar at the early

478
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: stage but not being a part of it at the back.

479
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: All right, So how do I fix that or be

480
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: different in that regard? Well, I'm gonna own the one

481
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: thing that I can at the early stage that I control.

482
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: I own.

483
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 2: I own my live entertainment business for myself. If I

484
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: decide to do comedy, I own this entity of comedy.

485
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: That entity shoots a comedy special, I'm gonna own it,

486
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna license it, step repeat, Okay, Well

487
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: I can do this with other IP. I got to

488
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: create the companies Heartbeat, laugh out Loud, Okay, the studios

489
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: are partners, but make sure that we own a piece

490
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: of the company with the studio.

491
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Well, we can't do that.

492
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: Why not have we ever asked? Have we ever asked

493
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: for an unconventional deal. If we do ask for that

494
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: unconventional deal, let's see what the return is. Let's see

495
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: if they jump up and say okay, because you're a

496
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: good partner. We actually had some good partnerships in the

497
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: early stages that weren't afraid to take those jumps. Lionsgate

498
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: was a great partner with laugh out Loud. We did

499
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: great business. Lionsgate then allowed me to buy lef out

500
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: Loud back and full when they didn't want it, I

501
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: took laugh out Loud merged it with Heartbeat.

502
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: All right, I got one big entity. Now wow, So

503
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: now let me.

504
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: Start to push things under the machine. I want to

505
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: push and shovel anything I do under the machine. It

506
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: all has to come through Heartbeat, and through that, Let's

507
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: see how much I can own versus what I can so. Now,

508
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: any deal, any unconventional deal, it has to come through

509
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: my pipeline and the relationships of others. Now, respect the pipeline.

510
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: So let me hire the people. Let me get the

511
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: right team, right execs, right presidents, right coos, CFOs, heads

512
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: of SVP's EPs. Well, now I got the money to

513
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: pay them, because I'm taking the money from all his

514
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: lives entertainment, and I'm just going to bring it over here.

515
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: So until I get a return, I'm a funding machine,

516
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: because that's an investment. I'm investing in this personnel, I'm

517
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: investing in these works for hire. I'm investing in the

518
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: idea of this company.

519
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: When you were in these comedy clubs, did you ever

520
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: think stand up comedy would lead you to these opportunities

521
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: that have created all these other companies and got you

522
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: at a network of four hundred and fifty million dollars.

523
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: No, but that's the fucked up part, right like you,

524
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: stand up comedy is the gateway into everything, and entertainment,

525
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 2: entertainment in general, is the gateway into everything. And you

526
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: don't have to do it right. You don't have to

527
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: knock it out the park and fucking walk away with

528
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: the biggest bang, with the biggest win. The closer you

529
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: get is best and better for the people that are

530
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: gonna come and do the same things behind you. So

531
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: there were a lot of peoples that didn't necessarily do

532
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: it right, but they cracked the door enough for me

533
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: to go through that door and get a little further

534
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: than what they did. Understand that the likeness that I

535
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: had can bring the value of private equity partners or

536
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: investors or companies or bandwidth. I bring value to different operations,

537
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: so in return, you're giving me something for my value.

538
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: So stand up comedy was the asset and still is

539
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 2: the asset that acts as the gold nugget to fucking

540
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: greatness because the meetings that you're able to obtain, the

541
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: rooms that you're now able to be in, is all

542
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 2: based off of Man, that got so funny and so cool.

543
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: So don't downplay the fun an early thing. The early

544
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: thing is the most valuable thing. Oh man, I want

545
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: you to go see that guy. He was funny and shit.

546
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: Then after the show it was nice. You gotta meet Doug.

547
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: Doug works over at Amazon. He does X, Y and Z.

548
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a partnership here, man, but

549
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: you should meet him. A lot of people don't have time.

550
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: I don't mean no fucking weird weird ass dude named Doug.

551
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm good. Well why not? Doug just so happens to

552
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: be in front of content and creative. So meeting Doug,

553
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: you done put yourself in a situation to get some

554
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: knowledge and information, and you tell Doug I'm gonna come back,

555
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: we should meet again, speak.

556
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: To that more. Does your humility play a role in

557
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: how far you've been able to go?

558
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I did not. I did not put myself on

559
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: a on this crazy pedestal of expectation of how you

560
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: should perceive me. Right, I think really having an even

561
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: kill and understanding of like level set at all times.

562
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Like businesses, business partnerships are partnerships, opportunities opportunity And if

563
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: you shake your hand, it's two sides to a handshake.

564
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: So if you shake my hand and I'm shakier's back,

565
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: that means that we should both get something from whatever

566
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: we're deciding to do together. It shouldn't just be about me,

567
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: so it shouldn't just be about you. And I think

568
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: to date, my relationships with my studio partners, the representations

569
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: of that, you know, I've never tried to kill them.

570
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: I've never came in and front loaded any of my deals.

571
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: And this is my partner's are universal to Netflix, Apple, Amazon,

572
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean I can go warners, I can go down

573
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: the list of them all.

574
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: What do you need for this.

575
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: To be a win for you? All right? So I'm

576
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: gonna do this on my side. I'll take this and

577
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: I'll play with you on the back half. So in success,

578
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: we all have success. And as a partner throughout the years, well,

579
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: my work has been consistent because they value me as

580
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: a guy that's coming to the table at all times

581
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: with the best interests of this and myself. I've never

582
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: been to give me all mine now and y'all figure

583
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: it out. If you lose, I should lose too. And

584
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a real like, that's a real thought

585
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: that I have in any in any aspect right. And

586
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: the best partnerships that I have, like in Fabletics, Fathletics,

587
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: and I decided to do business because I was with

588
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: Nike and I get with great partners. We developed the

589
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 2: sneakers together, we were doing great activations. I mean some

590
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: of the best relationships came out of Nike of just

591
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: personnel and understanding that business. I had an opportunity of

592
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: Fathletics to help grow a brand and be responsible for

593
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: men's They said, Kevin, we don't want you to come

594
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: in and just like do it and just be a phase.

595
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: We want you to develop it with us.

596
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: We want you to be a real partner. We want

597
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: you to be creative.

598
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 2: So I had an opportunity to go and create a

599
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: man's line with a brand that didn't have it yet,

600
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 2: be responsible for elevating, amplifying. I'm the business now that

601
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: didn't exist that does well, I'm gonna do that because

602
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: if I do it right, all of my partnerships that

603
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: I do Afterwards, I now got a resume with a receipt.

604
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: A receipt says Kevin Hart can do this for a company,

605
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: for a brand, for a entity. Kevin Hart did this.

606
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: So I took that ran with that. And now when

607
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 2: you talk about the other partnerships that have come to

608
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: the table, well, here's what I am as an incubator,

609
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 2: Here's what I am as an amplifier. And the words

610
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: that I'm able to use now, I didn't know these

611
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: fucking words.

612
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, how much do sales shoot up when you're

613
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: putting juice skin coys and not in the fabletics?

614
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: H you know, it's crazy? Like that was such a genuine,

615
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: authentic moment. So they had just they had just sent me,

616
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: uh like we got we we have new product and

617
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,880

00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,800

Speaker 2: didn't know what to expect, so I still had the box.

620
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: I had the box with me with the fact that

621

Speaker 2: It's dope because it's just good energy and it's a

635
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: real reaction.

636
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come back.

637
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the same thing because the Kai and

638
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: the juice give it all. Well, it's really about me

639
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: and powering them. I went to their world. I didn't

640
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: change that world to fit me. I want nothing to

641
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: do with your world.

642
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: I want to fucking be.

643
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: A part of your world by showing how dope you are.

644
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 2: So I didn't come there as Kevin Hart to start.

645
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: Let's talk about all my shit I got going on.

646
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: I came in and said, well, what does it mean

647
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: when you do all this shit?

648
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: What we do?

649
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: Now?

650
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: What?

651
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: What I gotta do? Money train, hype train? What?

652
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: What?

653
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: The business has ignored the fact that these guys are

654
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: the new business?

655
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: What it fits you though? Because your brand is fun,

656
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: his brand is fun. It's easy.

657
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: It's an easy, seamless fit. But what I'm trying my

658
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: best to do is show show the business, the studio business,

659
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: that the opportunities for them that we should be thinking

660
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: about exists where they're already succeeding. You.

661
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: Don't try to break and create a new model.

662
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: Try to figure out what they want to do and say, okay,

Speaker 2: well how can I help you? How going to be.

681
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: a star. I think you know when you look at

682
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: Mr Beese and what he's doing, like you're looking at

683
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: people that are creative minds and have figured out another

684
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: route to economic success. They have They have found a

685
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 2: way to say I'm going here, and I'm going here.

686
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: Mister Beaese's whole business is not just content but product commerce.

687
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 3: Like, are you fucking kidding me?

688
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: You're talking about a talent that has figured out how

689
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: to bring commerce to his audience through a platform. That

690
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: guy's doing the right. Guess what I'm gonna do. Guess

691
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. Hey Jimmy, I need to talk

692
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: to you. I don't want to control. I want to

693
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: know and I want to learn, but more poorly, I

694
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: want to partner.

695
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: How do we sit? How do we talk?

696
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: Hey Kyle, Hey Juice, how do we sit? How do

697
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: we talk? Collaboration is the best form of success. You

698
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: can't collaborate. It's a it's a real lonely world, man,

699
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: And that whole fathletics thing and just me doing started

700
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 2: off as just a fucking real, easy, genuine thing because

701
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 2: I had it juice skin Kai came back.

702
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: Hey man, we're going to throw these on again.

703
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: Got you?

704
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 3: keV is love. It's nothing forced.

705
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 2: It was a it was a thing that worked because

706
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: of the authenticity and the brand.

707
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: Of course was happy.

708
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: But as a guy that controls the brand and operates

709
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: on this behalf, people associate me with the product seamlessly,

710
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: so it's never forced.

711
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to I want to talk to you

712
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: about fatherhood. Right as a father, I'm sure your family

713
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: motivates you to keep working and do more, but you

714
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: also want to prioritize being present. So how often do

715
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: you face the conflict of choosing between work and family

716
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: and how do you maintain the balance?

717
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 2: I got a lot better. I've got a lot better, man.

718
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: You know.

719
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: I think the engine in the early stages is an

720
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 2: engine dedicated to I'm doing all this so that they

721
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: don't have to, right Like, I'm thousand miles per hour

722
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: because I want to have this or that they can

723
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: have this or that we can do this. But then

724
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: you start to realize that that time can't get that

725
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: time back, and you start to miss real shit, real

726
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: shit the matters. Kids get older, they drop some shit

727
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: on you about what they wish you were at that

728
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: you wasn't, but it's okay, and you want to make

729
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: those changes. So I think because I've had such an

730
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: open relationship with my kids, a comfortable one where we

731
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: can talk and be transparent, I've been able to adjust

732
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: in real time and make things better. So I think

733
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: today I'm way more present than what I was in

734
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, two thousand and eight, twenty twelve.

735
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a good dad, Like I'm I'm, I'm there,

736
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: and I make sure I'm there cause you I'm breaking

737
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: the ground in what fatherhood looks like from my family,

738
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: like me and my brother, our dad wasn't theirs, so

739
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: it was it was cool, but it was hit and

740
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: miss in and out. So me and my brother prioritize

741
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: how active we are with those kids, like it takes

742
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: the village. Like literally, my brother is the best asset

743
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: that I have outside of my wife. Like, hey man,

744
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: I gotta go on a road and I'm gonna be

745
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 2: going for set time.

746
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 3: Go and make sure the kids are good.

747
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: Pop in with them for like four days, give them

748
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: some activities, some stuff to do. I know they got classes,

749
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. You're you're. We have a very nice

750
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: rapport of how we operate, and the kids love it.

751
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: They they see the efforts. They respect it. I think

752
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: they also see how I kill myself to get back

753
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: to them, you know what I mean, Like I'm I'm

754
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: out on tour buses, I'm back and forth, back and forth,

755
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: laying two days. All right, I leave one day, come

756
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: back to night. Like it's it's a lot, but it's

757
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: worth it.

758
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: What is what is losing? Both your parents taught you

759
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: about parently, it's very.

760
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: Important to to understand, like this ship is a gift.

761
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: This this this game of life is a luxury and

762
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: you you don't have to be a part of that

763
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 2: luxury loan.

764
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: Scary thing about death is the next day.

765
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: Life still goes on right, Like you lose people that

766
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: you love, but the next day you still have to operate.

767
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: You still have to figure out this thing. You still

768
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: have to pay the bill, you still have to do

769
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: the work. You still have to figure out. You still

770
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: have to raise the kids. You still have to like

771
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: it doesn't stop because of your moment of mourn. So

772
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: what I what I definitely have been an example of

773
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: is strength. You know, when my mom and my dad passed,

774
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 2: I think my kids seeing how I handled both of

775
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: it from a realistic standpoint, is it's something that was

776
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 2: a value to them, right because rather than feeling the

777
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: death at the saddest level, I celebrated the life at

778
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: the highest and that was a I think that was

779
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: a thing that that they both kind of my two

780
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: older kids, my younger ones were a little my dad

781
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 2: passed away, it was sad, but my two older ones

782
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: kind of like understood my way of thinking and my

783
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: reason for why. And you know, I was like, It's

784
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 2: okay to be sad, but I'm making a conscious choice

785
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: in this moment to just think about the celebration, the

786
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: life that they lived, what they did, the great things,

787
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: And it was more about the storytelling on that side

788
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: of it than it was about the crime.

789
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: How did you have to adjust your last stand up?

790
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Because I told you I saw you with the garden

791
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: when you it was what became reality check, And I

792
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: told you, I feel like that was your best at right,

793
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: and you had a lot of you know material in

794
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: there about your father being sick. But by the time

795
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: the special came out, passed had passed. So how did

796
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: you have to adjust?

797
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean I went your you put it in the

798
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: past tense, right, like, you know, when my dad was

799
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest memories was my dad

800
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: would or you know, I mean, it's crazy that my

801
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 2: dad's not here because these thoughts like that I'm having

802
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 2: are all based from my dad. Like everything. I kind

803
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 2: of just put it in in the past moment and

804
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: the set became more of a dedication to my father

805
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: than than what it was in the in the beginning stages.

806
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: But my dad passed away in the middle of that tour,

807
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: know that tour, so I had to finish that set. Actually,

808
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's crazy. Where were we at he just

809
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: passed away? He had just passed away. We were doing

810
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 2: the Uh I was doing the set when I'm thinking

811
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: about it, like, I'm like, yeah, my dad, and it

812
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 2: hit me on stage. Damn, that's the first time I

813
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 2: felt that, Okay, that's it's in there. At some point

814
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna come out. Like I've just told you. My

815
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: way of handling it was celebrating the life or whatever.

816
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: And during that set, that's why I felt like a

817
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 2: little I felt the thing, that emotional thing and talking

818
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: about him as if he were still here and knowing

819
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: that he wasn't. And at the end of that show,

820
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: I told the audience my dad passed away. Wow. And

821
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: that's where it hit me.

822
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: I little.

823
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: I had to get off stage at I mean, grief

824
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: is okay. And I'm not saying you don't have it

825
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: when you shouldn't have it. I'm saying it hit me

826
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: in that moment. And to date, I don't think that

827
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: I've I still probably haven't grieved correctly over my mom

828
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: like I think I I accepted it. I knew what

829
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 2: it was because I knew it was coming. But I've

830
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: never had like a thing like a spiral fallout of thing.

831
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: You know, they say staying busy is a response to trauma.

832
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: So you stay busy so you don't have to the

833
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: the boy dealing with what you probably should be dealing with.

834
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: So that's kids, I'm probably dealing with a lot.

835
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't know that.

836
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah I'm not going to fight that because I don't

837
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 2: know that. But if there was something to deal with,

838
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 2: it could step from that. But I'm also addicted to work,

839
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: like that's a work as a drug for me.

840
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you tweeting back in twenty thirteen, you said,

841
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: if you are afraid of failure, you don't deserve to

842
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: be successful. I think he was quoting Charles Barkley or somebody.

843
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: When I hear you say you're addicted to work, and

844
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: we watch it, we watch you, Are you afraid to fail?

845
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: No? No, because I fail all the time.

846
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 3: But at this point, I mean, what what is failure?

847
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: Like?

848
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: Like, right now I can go belly up the money,

849
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: the money could go away whatever, Like I'm never not

850
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 2: going to be okay.

851
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 3: I know how to get to the money.

852
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: My confidence on my ability to get to the money, I'm.

853
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 3: Going to be okay.

854
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: Like there's like in the beginning stages of life, the hood,

855
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: et cetera, like there's a there's a real fear of uh,

856
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: I don't know where I ain't gonna be able to

857
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 2: fuck you, I don't know, Like there's there's a real

858
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: fear there because you're at the bottom right when you've

859
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: been when you've been to the top, And is it

860
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: really a fair at that point, like, Okay, you're saying

861
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 2: I had it all and I lost it, so now

862
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: my journey is getting some of it back.

863
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 3: Like, it's not a fear, that's it's a moment.

864
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: And in business and entrepreneurship, things don't always go the

865
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 2: way you want. So if an investment didn't work and

866
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: I over committed, or if this went belly up and

867
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: I didn't have like, it's that stuff is very much possible.

868
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: I think for me, the lack of success or moment

869
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 2: where unsuccess like presents itself, that's dope because there's so

870
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: much information in that. There's so much information you gained

871
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: from the thing that didn't work, the thing that flopped,

872
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: the thing that fucking was supposed to Like, there's information

873
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: value in that. So it's about how you It's about

874
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: how you take it. I don't. I don't take it.

875
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 2: I don't take it with it like a negative grain

876
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: of salt. I'm I'm pretty well with receiving that. I

877
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: just think I need to be committed to something me

878
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: to make my life feel like it has a driving

879
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: source of energy that won't die.

880
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: Like I like this because it keeps you from being petty.

881
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: But you're still a cancer KIV. Yeah, I'm a cancer

882
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: is a cancer. We're all busy people. We still find

883
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: he's different. If you find a little time to be

884
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: petty with the people that throw shots, that you different.

885
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: You don't never what's the most pettiest thing you've thought

886
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: about doing.

887
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 2: I've done it, just people would never know, like like

888
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: people would never know it like I don't. It's like,

889
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, people like the public here, Okay, this is

890
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: something I said. I was talking to somebody man, And

891
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's really not hard if you have if

892
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 2: you have real problems with people, and your problems are

893
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: like serious, it's not hard to ever get to a

894
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: person and really like address the problem.

895
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Right.

896
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: The problems that people have of me, they aren't my problems.

897
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: So the idea of being petty or going back and forth,

898
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 2: it's so beneath me because I don't have the problem,

899
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: and I feel like if I engage, it makes it

900
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: look like I got a problem. I don't.

901
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: All Well, things get taken out of context too, though,

902
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: because even when you think about Cat Williams on Club Sha,

903
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought you threw shots at him first,

904
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: and he was replying.

905
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: Back there's I think there's probably one moment where I've

906
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 2: actually talked about Kat publicly, and this was when Timmy

907
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 2: and this was like we were we were promoting night

908
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: School and Tiffany was affected by some of the things

909
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: he said, and it was more of a like support

910
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: for her in that moment and like some shots at him.

911
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: Do you regret that?

912
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? I shouldn't even God, I should never address him

913
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: at all. I don't have to, Like why what will

914
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: it do for me? What will I gain?

915
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 3: There's no gain.

916
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 2: So I look at everything from a business and economic standpoint,

917
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: like if I'm investing in something, well, what is my return?

918
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 2: What's the return on my investment? What's the return on

919
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 2: my time? Was the return on my energy? Was the

920
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 2: return on my investment? So that investment of self words

921
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: dialogue brings me what what? What? What? And if I

922
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 2: can't answer that question, or if people around me can't

923
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 2: answer that question, then it doesn't get an in an

924
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 2: inklet of energy. So it has nothing to do with

925
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: people feeling like they're above, people feeling like they're better. Oh,

926
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: it has to do with a strong understanding of you

927
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: and like yourself level of awareness, like I'm i can

928
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: check all these boxes, but to some they want to

929
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: take it or misconstrued or twist it as it's not.

930
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: It's not my problem, it doesn't become my problem.

931
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: Is that a part of acting my age, acting my

932
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: agees is so dope and you can have I know

00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 3: Oh great, I'll say.

937
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 2: The better side of acting my age and the understanding

938
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: of what this special is is like, it's so dope

939
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: to understand what the idea of old age is. It

940
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 2: should be older, older, should be wiser, it should mean

941
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 2: like fucking wisdom. It's life lived. The older you get

942
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: your representation of life lived. And if you're lucky enough

943
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: to make it to fifty sixty seventy, that means you

944
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 2: were one of the few fortunate people and not only

945
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: made it to the other side of life, but got

946
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 2: to see other lives make it there as well. Grandkids, kids,

947
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: have kids, homes, families, whatever it is, neighborhoods change, fucking

948
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 2: the inclusion of the merge between. If you're a person

949
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: that got to witness and was around and I remember

950
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 2: when man, what's better? I just worked with Samuel Jackson

951
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: and dopes thinking about Samuel Jackson when we do a

952
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 2: fight night as every day, Sam had a story about

953
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 2: the shit that happened during that time because he was there.

954
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: He was there. Oh man, right here, y'all see this

955
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: right here. This wasn't this spot. This used to be

956
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: raise and what they would do here? You just sitting

957
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 2: listen the joy that Sam found and telling us the

958
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 2: moments of life that he lived that none of us

959
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 2: could fucking relate to because.

960
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 3: None of us were around.

961
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 2: Sam was the one lucky, the one lucky individual from

962
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 2: this time that can still talk about it. Some other

963
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 2: people might not be here, other friends from that time

964
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: may be there, may not. But he was so happy

965
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: at telling the stories. That's joy. That's fucking great. So

966
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: the age forty five, I'm embracing the concept of getting

967
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: older and being the thing that you're becoming instead of

968
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 2: running away from it. Everybody's running this way. Everybody's trying

969
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: to get younger, pulling the skin back and taking this

970
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 2: all for doing that.

971
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: But what does aging look like in a realm where

972
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: the goal is to remain relevant? That's why everybody's doing

973
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: this skin stuff, the tucks and whatever else the Olympic.

974
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 2: Like I don't I don't know what other people are

975
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 2: going through, So I would never speak on.

976
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 3: Another person's behalf. I would say that.

977
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: If more, if we saw more people celebrate the cool

978
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: shit about ages ages, I think that aging would be

979
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: highlighted differently, right, I think the conversations attached to it

980
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 2: or one side that you hear, we only hear one

981
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: side of it. And when you're talking about saying relevant,

982
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: it's it's it's all subjective. You just said you had

983
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: L L L here.

984
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 1: Right.

985
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 3: Elle's dropping the album been doing it for forty years.

986
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: Is he dropping the album to be relevant or is

987
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 2: he dropping an album because he's like, hey man, I'm

988
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: mis rapping. I'm about to just rap. Yeah, I want

989
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,479
Speaker 2: to rap and just rap. Show my fuckers I still

990
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: can rap.

991
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: Oh, Lebron Lebron twenty one years in?

992
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: Is he playing because he's trying to be still relevant?

993
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 2: Or does he just love the game of basketball? Like what,

994
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 2: it's subjective as as to how you want to view it,

995
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, there was a there

996
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 2: was a time where before all the ship had happened,

997
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 2: when I was in Uh, I was in Montreal and

998
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 2: Bill Cosby was performing, sitting on the stool performance. It's like,

999
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: you still love comedy, granted, like I said, it's before

1000
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 2: all the shit. It's like if you love something and

1001
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: you just want.

1002
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 4: To be old and do the thing you love cool,

1003
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 4: It's I think it's subjective as to how you view it,

1004
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 4: and I think you can find so much joy and

1005
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 4: happy and being what you are, doing what you love

1006
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 4: and getting older while doing it and embracing the younger

1007
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 4: environment of people that are doing it.

1008
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely embracing the younger generation. Like I have nothing

Speaker 2: You home to me, like there's no competition, Like when

Speaker 2: we want to see each other flourish.

1041
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: That's why it should be people at the topic, collaborating,

1042
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: people at the bottom of compete.

1043
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: It's and by the way, when we go and we're

1044
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 2: down here with the younger generation, it should be nothing

1045
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 2: but embracing.

1046
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: You said you wanted Kay to play you in a movie. Ye,

Speaker 2: next fathletic spot that it did, he's showing his acting chops.

1050
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm put him in a fat letic spot. I told

1051
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: Kyle that because everybody says like Ky and I have

1052
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 2: the same energy, and you know, Kyle wants to Kyle

1053
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: wants to act. He's saying like, at some point he

1054
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 2: wants to get into it. And I love that. I

1055
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 2: love that he's already looking at bigger pictures. I love

1056
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 2: that he's making his money. I love that he has

1057
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 2: his thing, and you know, I'm gonna figure out ways

1058
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: to do that thing with him. And you know, even

1059
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: even when I talk about comics, right like the Plastic coupleoys,

1060
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 2: when I talk about Spank, I talk about Naim, I

1061
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: want to talk about Joey, Like these guys have been

1062
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: headlining for a long time and being established in comedy.

1063
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 2: That's a very hard thing. It's a very hard thing

1064
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 2: to be established in stand up comedy like this is

1065
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 2: you're talking about uh a contractor like mentality at work.

1066
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: It's you know, you gotta eat what you killed. So

1067
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: without audiences, you got no got no revenue. You got

1068
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 2: to figure out where to go and where to hustle

1069
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 2: up to get the money. We're talking about a bunch

1070
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 2: of people who have figured it out. I applauded that

1071
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 2: at the highest level.

1072
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of eating right, it's fight night. Was the strange

1073
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: doing that sex scene with Trog and was baby Boy

1074
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: in any inspiration behind it? No, it was what I

1075
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: did you study Tyres and baby Boy when he did that?

1076
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: No, they really they really didn't sex scene. They really

1077
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 2: like Tyrense and t really did a sex scene. Like

1078
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 2: they had a lot of ship to do in that scene.

1079
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 2: The story of that scene told so much. You had

1080
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: flashbacks that she had to go through. It was a lot.

1081
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: There was a lot that went into that. I mean,

1082
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 3: tease my sister.

1083
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: So I minimalized it to where you know, we don't

1084
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 2: we don't have to get that active and we don't

1085
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 2: have to do that much and I think you know.

1086
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: And in any project, it's all about the story that

1087
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 2: you're trying to tell. And if men Taraji had to

1088
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 2: tell a different side of a story for the purpose

1089
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 2: of the the IP and and to set up the

1090
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: future thing that's gonna happen, Okay, yeah, you can go there.

1091
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 2: But the relationship between Viv and Chicken Man is one

1092
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 2: of her being this down ass chick and has rolled

1093
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: with him and will ride with him for anything. Our

1094
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: sexual relationship isn't the highlight. It isn't stronger than you

1095
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: saying I got him and I know he got me.

1096
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: So how do we how do we make sure we

1097
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 2: told that line?

1098
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: And that's also within.

1099
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: The creative I haven't had to do anything crazy like

1100
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 2: that and any project that I've done to date, And

1101
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 2: if you don't have to, you don't. You don't need to,

1102
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: right It's like, once again, I'm the creator. I'm on

1103
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: the side with the writers and the stuff, and they.

1104
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: Do have something in there. If they're seeing keV this.

1105
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 2: When you got to eat eat ass, why you don't

1106
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 2: have to Anyways?

1107
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I love the Chicken Man character. Is it fair to

1108
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: label the Chicken Man character a bad guy? Or is

1109
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: he just a product of his environment.

1110
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 2: He's not only a product of his environment. He's a

1111
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: he's a definition of a real entrepreneur. And sometimes as

1112
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, your vision as a visionary can't be seen

1113
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 2: by everybody is everybody doesn't do what you do. So

1114
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 2: Chicken Man can be seen as a guy that makes

1115
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 2: bad decisions. But the people that are part of all

1116
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 2: of his decisions know it's hard. They know they know

1117
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: his won they know it's real, his real initiative and

1118
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: what he's willing to do to get there, and why

1119
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 2: some can be a part of it and some can't,

1120
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 2: And why some can know this and some can't. Like

1121
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: if you know him, you're gonna love him.

1122
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: If you don't know me.

1123
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: You hear about him, you're intrigued to know what it

1124
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: is and why he's been Like, I found a lot

1125
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: of similarities with Chicken Man, which is why I wanted

1126
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: to do it.

1127
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 3: The road to greatness is the road that everybody can't

1128
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 3: be on.

1129
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: And a lot of people got left behind on Chicken

1130
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Man's road, and those that fucking stayed and made it

1131
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: through the storm, they all saw the value at the

1132
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 2: end of it.

1133
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Did Terrence, how will try to explain any of his

1134
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: math to you.

Speaker 3: I love terror.

1138
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 2: I think there's one of the most talented people to

1139
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 2: ever goddamn touch that acting stage like he is a

1140
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 2: bad mother when it comes to action and cut Terrence

1141
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 2: will do whatever it is that you needed to be done.

1142
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Uh stand character. Yeah, we know why he was wearing.

1143
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 2: To win everybody else. Yeah, but you know when he

1144
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 2: when he starts to talk about the stuff, he's really

1145
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 2: into that ship like that's his that's his ship. But

1146
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: you have to You just gotta be honest with people

1147
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 2: right out the gate. And I'm I'm not just customer.

1148
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to retain this.

Speaker 2: He said, Kevin, you're still gonna listen. I just had

1152
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 2: to sit there and then when he got done, I

1153
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I see what I'm saying.

1154
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,440

01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: to be who you are today or was this version

1156
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: of you molded and crafted along this amazing journey.

Speaker 3: Do the traditional live absolutely Scott's I think.

1161
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I think I'm beyond blessed to have the support and

1162
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 2: family that I had in coming up, the mother that

1163
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 2: I had, and the support came from like me not knowing.

1164
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 2: A lot of people, a lot of people come down

1165
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: on that younger child that don't know. I don't know, man,

1166
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 2: school ain't for me.

1167
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: What you gonna do.

1168
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people call it that guy or that

1169
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 2: girl loser, or you know, you ain't doing it right.

1170
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: You ain't taking life serious, you ain't thinking everybody has.

1171
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: Everybody has a different legenda when it comes to time

1172
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: and when things click versus when they don't. If you

1173
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 2: take my mom's level of support away from me not knowing,

1174
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 2: I would have never discovered the thing that I fell

1175
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 2: in love with. Like I didn't go to school with

1176
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 2: the purposely say I'm stopping because I'm about to start comedy.

1177
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 2: I discovered it. It was it was an accident, it

1178
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 2: wasn't on purpose. In conversation, care you should do it,

1179
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 2: should try to amate you to night. Okay, the discovery

1180
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 2: I fell in love with the new idea of the

1181
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: thing that I could do I love this thing. I

1182
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 2: love this feeling. Now that I'm excited, all of the

1183
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: energy and effort that I have it can go into

1184
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 2: something that I actually am excited about. Without that excitement,

1185
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 2: without that light bulb, A lot of people struggle with

1186
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: the first step. It wasn't until I got my light bulb.

1187
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 2: I hit the ground running. And then after that and

1188
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 2: seeing your result of hard work pay off, well, you

1189
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 2: attach that same effort and energy because you know what

1190
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 2: it feels like to put one hundred percent into something

1191
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 2: and then see it work. So what I am and

1192
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 2: who I am today and where I'm at absolutely not.

1193
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 2: But now that I am here, I do feel like

1194
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 2: it's my job to be as best of an example

1195
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 2: as I can be for the next generation to do

1196
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: more and surpass right.

1197
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: Like.

1198
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,479
Speaker 3: This shouldn't be it for who's to.

1199
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 2: Come and what's to come next. I'm just a version

1200
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: of new I was able to do. Like, here's what

1201
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 2: I was able to do. But when I'm fucking fifty five,

1202
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 2: god willing in sixty, I would love to see the

1203
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 2: next version in position to do more or prepared to

1204
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 2: do more.

1205
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: Well, you're making it easier for the next generation.

1206
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 3: Kevi, I appreciate you man.
