Speaker 1: father figures in my life. And they would get dressed

47
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,280

55
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080

00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: where it came from.

59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: Okay, if all you people at home, we got to translate.

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,399

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,680

00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: This South Dakota fan base man want to say that

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking to they were getting the money. That's one

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: of the most obscure places in the country. Man, Like

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, where you I'm sure you

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: This motherfucker Goodness. So to your point, he probably is

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: the only basketball on it. Basketball plays don't come up.

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,560

Speaker 4: because we got we got diverse fan. I was talking

99
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,600

Speaker 3: you go.

106
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: We did do a bad job of introducing the because

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: we didn't talk about the eighty five South show, which

108
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: is elite.

109
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, thank you. I love what y'all doing.

110
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: Thank you man.

111
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: I know you probably don't even remember this. You Donna's

112
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I ran into you at the airport years ago. You

113
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: probably don't even remember this, you was walking through the airport.

114
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: This was one of the eighty five South Show. Like

115
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: when we first got the rolling and you told me

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: in the airport, he was like, man, I'm a fan

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: of y'all. You stopped me and I was, you know,

118
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's u D. He was like, man,

119
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of y'all. Boys keep pushing so to

120
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: be here now, Man, I appreciate you. You know, I

121
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: remember that he was in Atlanta, and but you know

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: the eighty five South Show. Man, it's just you know,

123
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: like that unicorn you was talking about, we had no

124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: idea that it was going to take on the life

125
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: that it took on, because we naturally do that, like

126
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: we really brothers, we really partners. This is what we

127
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: do when the cameras is off. So for it to

128
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: grow the way that it grew just authentically. I think

129
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: that's why it's so you know, embraced by the culture

130
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: because you can see it.

131
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: It's literally authentic.

132
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: And we let the people in on the process of

133
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: us coming up from the bottom to where we are now,

134
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: so you know, and they see that, you know, it's

135
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: it's infiltrated into the culture in the way that has

136
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to what people like y'all are fans of it.

137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: Man, It's it's a blessing.

138
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: In a fan base where do you gotta Donnas has

139
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: gotta explain ship to.

140
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh well now lguage language.

141
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, it's trickling the fan base where you got

142
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: to explained.

143
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: To well, just know if y'all watch it, uh, the

144
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: fan base that he got to explain stuff to, just

145
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: you know, slow walking. Do it like Game of Thrones,

146
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: one at a time. You know, start from the beginning

147
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: and work your way up. Don't start in the middle.

148
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,279

153
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: This is my third year doing it. I started at

00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: the Mirage and this is the first time at the Venetian. Man,

155
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,520

156
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: this is you know, I like to consider it like

157
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: this is like the All Star game for entertainment.

158
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: You know, this is one of the meccas.

159
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: When you come here, you get a residency here, you

160
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: pretty much you good for as long as you want

161
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: to be entertaining. So for me to be an entertainer

162
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: that has reached the point where I can have my

163
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: face on the billboard on a Vegas strip, it's a blessing, man,

164
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: because you know where I come from. I'm not supposed

165
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: to be doing nothing like this based on the odds.

166
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: So I am.

167
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Ecstatic about being out here. And we're on the eighty

Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, We're gonna take the steps

180
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: and then to the eighty five South because your wilding

181
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: out family ended up being brother from your eighty five

182
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: all the way continued.

183
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: They continue to grow well. I started doing comedy in

184
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I'm from Washington, d C. Born and raised,

185
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: born and raised in d C. Got out of DC

186
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: and I watch the college. I went to college and

187
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: went to Sellem State University, and I went for radio

188
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: television journalism. So I thought I was gonna be a

189
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: newscaster from what I did my internships and stuff on.

190
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: So but I went to get a job at the

191
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: news station and they told me I was gonna be

192
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: making six dollars and twenty five cent an hour part time.

193
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, nah, I can't do that because

194
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I didn't always got my own money. Like I said,

195
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: my father was gone, so I was forced to be

196
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the man of my I ain't gonna say forced, but

197
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I was required to be the man in my house

198
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: very early, so I had to learn how to get

199
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: my own money. I've always been very self sufficient in

200
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: that regard. So I said, well, if I'm gonna be

201
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: pooring struggling, I much rather be pooring, struggling and working

202
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: my way towards building my own legacy than hoping somebody

203
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: sees the value and me working for them. So my

204
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: man Jerome was like you should do comedy. I'm like, man,

205
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I ain't I like comedy. I ain't never told no jokes.

206
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: But I was hosting everything in school and all my

207
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: fraternity banquets and the step shows and all of that stuff.

208
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I was hosting all of that, so I don't have

209
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: stage fright. So that's a big part of doing it.

210
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: So he was like, you already, don't you already get

211
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: on stage? Just tried out. It was an open mind.

212
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: At the Greensboro Comedy Zone, which is like thirty minutes

213
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: away from where I went to school, every first and

214
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: second Thursday of the month. I went the first Thursday,

215
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: watch everybody bomb. I said, well, if I can, I

216
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: can least do this bad So I went back. I

217
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: went back the next week and did four minutes, and

218
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: when I got off stage, I was just, you know,

219
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: one of those movie like feelings. I was like, this

220
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: is what I'm supposed to be doing. And I've been

221
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: doing it ever since then. And as far as wild'n out,

222
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: somebody I went to school with named Dolly Bishop, who

223
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: is now the vice president of the Black Effects Podcast

224
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Network with Charlemagne Da God. We went to school together

225
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: and she was working with Nick at the time as

226
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: an assistant, and that's my you know, I like to

227
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: consider one of my guardian angels on Earth because she

228
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: just is, you know, just has always been such a big, big,

229
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: intricate part of my life in regards to my career

230
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: and vice versa, you know what I mean, for both

231
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: of us. But Nick was doing a Fresh Face as

232
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: a comedy show where he was just trying to introduce

233
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: new comics and being as though we had the connection,

234
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: she knew we were doing comedy down in North Carolina,

235
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: freestyle funny comedy show. We started an improv group myself

236
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: during Big Baby brand beat at Osama been drinking who

237
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: travels with me on the road now and a gentleman

238
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: named Berpie. So we were doing shows every third Sunday

239
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: of the month, just you know, trying to hustle up

240
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: something because North Carolina isn't a hub for entertainment in

241
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: that regard, so we kind of had to create the

242
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: wave while trying to surf it at the same time,

243
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So she knew we was

244
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: doing that, and when Nick had the shows, she was like,

245
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, you should come up here and do the show.

246
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: So I went up and did the show at Gotham

247
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Comedy Club. Now, mind you, just my first time ever

248
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: doing a major comedy club at this time. I'd only

249
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: been doing comedy by the year and a half. So

250
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: when I go in the club, the club owner like, yeah, man,

251
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who you are. You can't say the

252
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: N words, you can't curse. And I was like, well, shit,

253
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty much all I planned on doing. But my

254
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: creative process has always been different. I don't really write

255
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: stuff down. I kind of walk around and talk to

256
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: myself to get it together internal like that. So as

257
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing that, Nick sees me outside talking to myself.

258
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I guess he thought I was just some crazy nigga

259
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: outside talking to myself, which is understandable. But I went

260
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: on stage and did my set about what had just

261
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: happened to me within that timeframe of me getting to

262
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: the club and getting to New York. And when I

263
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: came off stage, she was like, man, did you just

264
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: you outside making that up? I'm like yeah, he said, Man,

265
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm around some of the best in the game. They

266
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: can't do what you just did. Keep pushing fast forward

267
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: almost two years later, I see a tweet on instag

268
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter that Nick is looking for comedians to bring

269
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: back wilding Out.

270
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: So I immediately hit doll like dollars, this real.

271
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: She was like, yes, it's real, So like, whatever I

272
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta do, let me know what I gotta do. So

273
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: he had an audition in North Carolina because he had

274
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: a nationally center syndicated radio show at the time, so

275
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: he came to North Carolina just to do a mock audition.

276
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: It was really just promo for the radio show. But

277
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: me and my man beat Out went and when I

278
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: went into the audition, he remembered me. He was like, oh,

279
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: you that dude that was outside talking to you did

280
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: the comedy show.

281
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, man.

282
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: So I did the audition and killed it, and he

283
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: was like, look, man, this saint a real audition. I

284
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: was just doing this just to promote the radio show.

285
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: But the real audition is in New York, so get

286
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: yourself to New York next week for the real audition.

287
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: And at that time, I was, you know, a different

288
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: level of broke, like it was I'm talking about I'm

289
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: talking about that sad broke, like I didn't check my

290
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: mailbox for so long they thought I moved.

291
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: I knew it I.

292
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Knew it wasn't nothing in there, man, nothing in there.

293
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: They get it when I got it. I was at

294
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: that stage, and so I was like, I got to

295
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: get this plane ticket to go to New York. So

296
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I took some and one thing I've always been into

297
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: is fashion. I always dress nice. That's always been a

298
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: mandatory thing for me, just from the way I was

299
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: brought up. So I took some clothes to a place

300
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: called Plato's Closet where you can sell clothes, and I

301
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: sold my clothes and got the ticket to go to

302
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: New York.

303
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: So I go to New York.

304
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: I do the audition, kill that audition, and I made

305
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: a joke about the fact that I had to sell

306
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: my clothes to get up here.

307
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: And then at the end, Nick.

308
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Was like, hey, man, you remember that joke you just

309
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: made about selling your clothes.

310
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: I was like yeah.

311
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,280

430
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: really want to know, like what type of drug tests?

432
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,280

433
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: y'all did to be able to because I know y'all

434
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: niggas were smoking weed playing.

435
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: Let me tell you this. This is how it went

436
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: when I first still using them.

437
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: Don't don't say the one they still use them, Say

438
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: the old one that that we might be able to

439
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: go to g n C and graph to help us

440
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: pass where you know you got to take that piss

441
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: test to go get the job at the Harris Teter.

442
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: We need that type of information, man.

443
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: I will tell you. So, when we first got in

444
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 4: the league, we used to have full random drug tests.

445
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: The first test you knew was coming during training camp,

446
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: so you could do whatever you wanted in the off season,

447
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: but you had to be cleaned for training camp for

448
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 4: that first test. Now, the other three tests, if I'm

449
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: not mistaken, killer, it was random. You didn't know when

450
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 4: they was coming. So when I first got in the league,

451
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: I was undrafted. I ain't want to fuck my ship up.

452
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna fuck up my money. I wasn't smoking ship.

453
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: So fast forward, now it changed changed real quickly for him.

454
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: They changed the rule. They changed the rule, and I

455
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: think it was was it one test they changed the rule.

456
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 4: But I tell you this, once we got in the

457
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: NBA bubble, they had to throw all that shit out

458
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: the window because motherfuckers needed emotional support, dogs and everything else.

459
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 4: And they knew, God damn well, if they ain't give

460
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: us no weed, we were gonna go home.

461
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,360

Speaker 1: Bully the shooter in the Bully man all the way? Like,

539
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: So you know that's definitely a question for you, ud Like,

540
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: that's a real strenuous role I would think to take

541
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: in the NBA, because you know, you got a lot

542
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: of big dudes that you know what I mean, just

543
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: as far as his body masses. Yeah, you know what

544
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to really really be willing to

545
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: do it.

546
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: Like crazy I came from.

547
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I still got all on my daddy son,

548
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 4: and my daddy don't my dadd don't before who years

549
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 4: he just talked, that's just the mentality that my daddy

550
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 4: always had with me. So my daddy son. And secondly,

551
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: I grew up in the era where you know what

552
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: I'm saying, you played at the park and you never know,

553
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, you never know, somebody caught

554
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: somebody to get filed and they don't want to take

555
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 4: the file, and next thing, you know, basketball drop and

556
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: it's on for about five minutes. Then they break it

557
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: up and then you get back to playing. You see

558
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: to do it the next day and it's all good.

559
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: So for me, it was always one of those things

560
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 4: where it's like, as long as we respectful out him, good.

561
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: But I ain't gonna tolerate no disrespect. But I never

562
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: disrespect nobody. I never started anything. I never started anything

563
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 4: with anybody.

564
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,320

589
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a question for you now. So, growing

590
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: up in DC, but spending time in Carolina, who's your

591
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: who's your team? Who's your players that you grew up watching?

592
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: Who's your team?

593
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: You're you're gonna say the Redskins?

594
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: Uh No, the Wizards and the Cowboys, both of them.

595
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I grew up watching that cast so much

596
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: dissension in my household, Like, man, it's ridiculous. Redskins, Cowboys,

597
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: beef and d c Is is outrageous. Man, I've seen

598
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: some of the more. I grew up working in the

599
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: barber shop. I started working at the barbershop when I

600
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: was nine years old as a brush boy, brushing people

601
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: off for dollars, and you know, a lot of my

602
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: hus understanding, Yeah, but a lot of my understanding of

603
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: manhood came out of the barber shop, you know what

604
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean. You learned so much being in there every day,

605
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: seeing men interacting. And you know, DC was chocolate city

606
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: at the time, like now it's white chocolate chip city.

607
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: There they didn't gentrified it tremendously, but at that time,

608
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: just being amongst black men gave me so much, you know,

609
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: game and how to understand it. And one thing that

610
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I can say that of all the things, of all

611
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: the confrontation that I saw in the barbershop throughout my

612
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: time working there, the one that was the most detrimental

613
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: was when the Cowboys played the Redskins. I'm talking about fistfights. Man,

614
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: You ain't how much you want to bet, you ain't

615
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: got no money. It's ridiculous. So I never forget. My

616
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: mama was a Cowboys fanatic. Like I'm talking about Cowboys fanatic.

617
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: Her and my uncle got into it about the Cowboys

618
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: and the Redskins and the argument was so bad. I

619
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: picked the Denver Broncos, so I.

620
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: I was a Denver Bronco fan.

621
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: I never forget they had the orange and blue uniform

622
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: like this my team. So I grew up a Denver

623
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Broncos fan. As far as basketball, I never really had

624
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: a team. I was more player oriented, Like you know

625
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. I love Ai. Ai is my Jordan,

626
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Ivison is my Jeorge. But yeah,

627
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: like he's my Like I thought he was from DC,

628
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Like that's how much of an influence he had on.

629
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: Just Hap Virginia.

630
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: He from Hampton, Virginia.

631
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: But you know he went to Georgetown, you know what

632
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean, And he played like like a DC. Like

633
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: we played ball, you know what I'm saying. I grew

634
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: up playing ball. I was decent, you know what I mean.

635
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: And I'm really shooting. I was really really nice. But

636
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I'm amongst legends. So I

637
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: was decent. But Ai Man was my favorite player growing up.

638
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Like just watching him I'm talking about watching him play

639
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: was so motivational. I'm talking about that would always make

640
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: me pick up my basketball and go to the park

641
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: and just you know, I remember he came out with

642
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: that commercial to Rebound commercial with he threw the ball

643
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: shit round around. Man, it took me, I like the

644
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: fuck sixteen pair of socks up in the living room

645
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to how to do that

646
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: white chocolate. Yeah, Jay will is one of my favorite Now, KD.

00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: I love KD. You know what I mean, bron Is

648
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: you know KD KD of course, Man, kd Is is

649
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: a monster man bron like y'all Miami squad like I was.

650
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: Because I'm a Rey Allen fan. That's my nickname, Ray Allen.

651
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: They called me Ray.

652
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: Geezer like that you can shoot it, huh no.

653
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah that was.

654
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: If they don't call me being they gonna call me

655
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: reality defense though. Nah, No, you got that too, Yeah

656
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: I think so. But you know, so I was a huge,

657
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: huge Ray isality fan. So when y'all got when when

658
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: that Miami team came together, I was rocking with Boston

659
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: when he was dead, but when he went to Miami, man.

660
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: Y'all was beautiful to watch man.

661
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: So, I you know, I would definitely say that Iverson

662
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: is number one for me though. Man, there's nobody more

663
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: influential on me as an athlete. That's my favorite athlete

664
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: period is Allen Iverson. Why the can't shoots play defense?

665
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: This ship translated all the way to the Park with Chico.

666
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't even a shooter.

667
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I just, you know what I mean, looked like Ray

668
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: Allen when I was No. No, I wasn't a shooter.

669
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: I was the handle man, Like you know what I mean.

670
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: I had one of the most notorious handles. And I

671
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't man, I didn't make people running the stands fall down.

672
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: That was my thing. But then I just you know,

673
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: be laughing. So that's what I couldn't focus, man, Like

674
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: if I put you. That's why I should have known

675
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: I was always gonna have to do something with comedy

676
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: because whenever I make a niggas stumble the fall, I

677
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: get the busting out laughing like you know what I mean,

678
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: and fuck the play up. So but like I just

679
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I just really enjoy it.

680
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: Now.

681
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I think the game is is so much more quick

682
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: and fast than it was when you know, I grew

683
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: I was a little boy in the nineties. So you know,

684
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: just watching that style of basketball, what would get you

685
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: ejected for three games now was just a foul and

686
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: it might not have been called. So like, just seeing

687
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: the way that the game has changed, my question to

688
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: y'all is do you think that it's more it was

689
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: more difficult to play in that rough house era or

690
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: play now with the skills that's going on now.

691
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: I think I think you've kind of nailed it, like

692
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: the skill setting out, Like they're bigger, taller, faster, I mean,

693
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: more athletic. Like it's wild what these kids are doing now.

694
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: But like the harder era was the era that we

695
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: came up in in my opinion, like that's how old

696
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: I am. My bigs when I got drafted, Orlando was

697
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: fucking Patrick Ewing and damn Sean kemp I hated that. Like,

698
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: but I'm saying, like you played two seven footers, you

699
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: don't see that ship no more, Like it's wild. Like

700
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: we're having this conversation before Minnesota has those two seven

701
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: footers that we're like, damn, this is crazy. That's what

702
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: it used to be. You're for. It was a big

703
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: physical game and now it's like open and free. Right.

704
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: It's a lot of workouts and training, but it's I

705
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: think I think the games easier to play in now.

706
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: It's probably as easy to guard it now. These guys

707
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: are coming at you now.

708
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: They're more skill there, more talented, seven foot handled in

709
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: the balls. Three went beyond the ship, like that I

710
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: got out right in time. I don't want I don't want.

711
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: None of that.

712
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: She want to see to pull you out to the

713
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: perimeter and like, man, I'm about to shoot you in your.

714
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: Knee seven three.

715
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: As soon as you cross me up and shoot it three,

716
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: I'm looking around like what we do all the way?

717
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 4: So to your point, the game, the physicality of the

718
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: game that we played in made it tougher, but I

719
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: think the skill set that these players have now makes

720
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: the game more exciting. It makes the game more marketable.

721
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Nobody want to see nobody

722
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: get beat up all my fucking game he used to

723
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: do back in the day, back in the days when

724
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 4: Detroit used to knock the ship out of MJ and

725
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: all that shit. Nobody want to see that Shire. You

726
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: want to see your star players get for it, and

727
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: you want to see him. You want to see your

728
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: star players go for from half court. You want to

729
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: see your star players get off. One thing though for

730
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: me before we move on, and I got to give

731
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: flowers to Nick Cannon. You know what I'm saying, because

732
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 4: as a man one and as a black man too,

733
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: this motherfucker is ultimate hustler. I watched this motherfucker. You

734
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying all the time, just paying attention

735
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: to people that are doing a lot of things. And

736
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: I sit home and I pay attention to everything that

737
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: everybody's doing. And every time I turn around, this motherfucker

738
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: got his hand in the bag. If it's not the

739
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: MASD singer all a while and not or or or

740
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 4: was it called it Nick Credible or whatever it is

741
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: he's got going on and kind of cancel coaches show

742
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 4: or something.

743
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 3: Nick got Credible.

744
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: You need to make that a show now if you

745
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: see that Nick Credible, like the court show, you the

746
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: lawyer or the judge, Nick Credible credible?

747
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 5: You know.

748
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, Nick is one of the man one of

749
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: the one of the most unique individuals you'll ever run into, man,

750
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of what I learned from

751
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: the game come from watching him, you know what I mean.

752
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: Because I came in. When we came in, we would nobody.

753
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: He was already a superstar, you know what I'm saying

754
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: at that time, So being able to watch a superstar

755
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: from that closest advantage point of something you usually don't

756
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: get to do. Because I say, one of the most

757
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: unique things about Nick is you know a lot of

758
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: people that put you on or put you in position,

759
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: give you a position and be like, yeah, I did

760
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: that for you, but then they'll send you off and

761
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: just man, figure it out. Nick put us in position

762
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 1: and stood next to us the whole time, and not

763
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: only stood next to us, but let us use him

764
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: as a springboard to launch ourselves into another strategy. Because

765
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: his life was always newsworthy. Nobody knew who cared what

766
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: we had going on at that time. But you married

767
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: to Mariah Curry and you got all these things going on.

768
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: You could have easily said, Hey, if you niggas want

769
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: to be on this show, I bet not here, come

770
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: out your mind. Man, nobody, nobody better not say nothing

771
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: about this. That and the third there was none of that.

772
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm one of y'all. If I'm on this stage,

773
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm no different than anybody else on this stage. And

774
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: when you think about the fact that it was his show,

775
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: his idea, he was the one that run everything for

776
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: him to put himself in a position to be a

777
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: boss and put yourself in the position of a worker

778
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: and work with the workers the way that he did,

779
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: that's what makes him so unique, and that's why he'll

780
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: always be able to get a bag and win, because

781
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: he ingratiates himself with people in a way to where

782
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: you understand that this dude really is a part of

783
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: whatever it is he's creating. He's not just creating it

784
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: just to be able to say I put my name

785
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: on something. He's creating it to be a part of

786
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: it and to be involved with it. And that's why

787
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: we learned what we learned coming from wilding out being

788
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: on the eighty five South Show. We learned the game

789
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: from there and say, okay, and we gotta take this

790
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: and turn it into something else. And the good part

791
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: about Nick is he could have put us and I'm

792
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: talking about fucker three sixty. He could have put us

793
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: in a seven twenty easily and we would have been

794
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: because we always hungry. But he ain't doing us like that.

795
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: He was like, man, y'all, go do whatever it is

796
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: you want to use this for. Man, go turn up.

797
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, And I don't need nothing

798
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: but to see y'all succeed. So that right there, man,

799
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of the and the fact that

800
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: he let people think whatever they want to think about

801
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: him is another part that I grasp too, Like just

802
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: seeing him, you know, with the Nick is corny and

803
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: this and that. I remember I asking him one time.

804
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, why you don't never feel the need

805
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: to address none of that shit? He was like, cause

806
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: I look in the mirror every day, nigga me, man, God,

807
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,800

Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

809
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: So and that that right there is a is a

810
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: real sentiment to go by because people are going to

811
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: always have an opinion about you regardless of what you do.

812
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: So do what you want to do. And you know

813
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: what I mean, let the chips fall what they may.

817
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be able to make a name for ourself.

818
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now it would have been like Nick,

819
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: some of them jokes. We have to stop because y'all

820
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239

00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: Pause, But yeah, you know what I mean.

822
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: He definitely you know, I can't say that he got

823
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: offended by And the only thing I want my next question,

824
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: the only thing that Nick. I've ever seen Nick get

825
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: offended by is when niggas talked about his music. That's it.

826
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: That's the only thing. He didn't get a little sick,

827
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: you know. And you can tell, you can tell because

828
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: sometimes he had just let the jokes ride. He don't

829
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: say nothing back. But you say certain things about his

830
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: music that nigga be like, hey, nigga, don't get it

831
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: fucked up.

832
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do the ship and he don't say it

833
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: like that.

834
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: He'll hit you back with a joke and you can

835
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: tell the level of the joke that he tell, how

836
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 1: offended he was about whatever to say coming back. Yeah, yeah,

837
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: but that's it. Other than that man, that man, it's whatever.

838
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: He liked to laugh just as much as we do.

839
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: And that's the cool part about wilding out. Like if

00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: You the boy. They're good. They're good. We still comedy,

00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 3: for the show.

864
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: You get up there and get to tell you the

865
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: name working and it was like, man, hey, man, you

866
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: might need to fight the microphone because you are losing.

867
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: You'll be whooping everybody on the court. But this microphone

868
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: is kicking your ass. You Donna, you know what I mean,

869
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: Jamal Bean, Yeah, exactly. We just full naming it there

870
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: and that forever.

871
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: That's the way you. Donna's Anthony, Hello.

872
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: We talked. You talked about the eras. Different eras in basketball,

873
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: give us the different errors in comedy because I think

874
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: with what Kat Williams when he went on and did

875
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: his interview kind of talked about the eras of comedy.

876
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: Where is it that, because it's like we talked about basketball,

877
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: different eras, different styles. It's worst comedy set right now.

878
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty much the same as what we were talking

879
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: about with basketball, just the you know, the game has

880
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: sped up and it's a whole lot more ways to

881
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: get to the you know, basket if you will, you

882
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and score because you think twenty

883
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: five years ago. Twenty years ago, there was no Internet,

884
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: there was no social media, so you had to really

885
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: be present in certain areas to even be on the radar.

886
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: You had to go to New York cause you had

887
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: to go to LA and hustle that way and grind versus.

888
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: When I started in eight and social media was just

889
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,959
Speaker 1: really getting kicked off for real, I knew that, Man,

890
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm not the person that's gonna mesh well in that

891
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: type of environment.

892
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: I'm not that dude.

893
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how to fake kick it, so I

894
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: can't be standing out front of the comedy club, trying

895
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: to be the funniest nigga in front of the club.

896
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: Like, I can't do that.

897
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: So I told myself, I'm gonna stay in North Carolina

898
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: and make a name for myself here and create a

899
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: wave around myself here and they'll come find me because

900
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: I got so many outlets to be able to show.

901
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: It's no different than you look at like with basketball,

902
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: all these mixtapes and it.

903
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: Was and one that was it, you know what I mean.

904
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: But now you got dudes making these viral videos and

905
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: they get yeah, seven eighth graide that stars.

906
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: So it's the same way with comedy.

907
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: It's so many different ways to get to start them

908
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: Nowebrity is completely different. I always ask people who were

909
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: famous before social media what was it like to be

910
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: really famous, because fame has changed so much, Like the

911
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: access to celebrity is completely different. You look at like,

912
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: for example, I was just having some conversation with somebody

913
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: about the Kendrick Drake shit when Tupac and Biggie was

914
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: beef and we had to wait till the Source magazine

915
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: came out and the Xxxale magazine came out to see

916
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: what somebody said in the interview, and now is every

917
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds you see in everything so comedy is you know,

918
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: is in the same state. But one thing I will

919
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: say that hasn't changed. Just like the game of basketball

920
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: or any other sport or anything that you do, there

921
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: is certain elements that will always be consistent. And when

922
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: it comes to comedy, standing flat foot on stage with

923
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: that microphone will always be standing flat foot on stage

924
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: with that microphone. It don't matter how many social media

925
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: apps that come out, It don't matter how many views

926
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: or likes you get when you get up in front

927
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: of that crowd with that microphon. If you ain't right,

928
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: you ain't right. And it don't matter how funny you

929
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: are online, how funny you are. If you can't, if

930
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: you can't do that, don't do that. Now you don't

931
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: have to do that. Now that's another part of it.

932
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: There was a time twenty years ago you had no

933
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: choice but to do stand up. Now you don't have to.

934
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: But if you choose to, that's the same, you know

935
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's the same way with I

936
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: would assume with basketball. You know what I mean, It's

937
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: like standing at the free throw line when the game

938
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: on the line you had their free throw line.

939
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: You can't run. You're even gonna miss it or make it,

940
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: so it's up to you.

941
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: But I think that comedy is in a better state

942
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: now because it's so many more opportunities that were created

943
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: by social.

944
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: Media and by the Internet.

945
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, the Internet has expanded the world in a

946
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: way that it's expanded it while shrunk at the same time.

947
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: You know, I make jokes all the time, like I

948
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: only knew what the girls look like in my neighborhood

949
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: and the ones I went to school with the youngest,

950
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: Now know what the girls look like all around the

951
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: city and all around the country.

952
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I meane times I would have stole.

953
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: A car to drive the South Dakota.

954
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm talking about straight to South Dakota.

955
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: They say they got the holes at the Colonel's games.

956
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: Sure, let's go, let's go out there, you know what

957
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: I mean.

958
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: But so I think that that the comedy is the

959
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: beneficiary of the Internet in ways that you know, I think,

960
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: probably better than most other industry. Comedy has benefited the

961
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: most because the cycle is fifteen to sixty seconds now,

962
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: so every fifteen and sixty seconds you scrolling and you're

963
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: seeing something different. So it's so many opportunities for you

964
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: to You can be nobody one day and then the

965
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: next day you talk to and oh lord, that shit

966
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: that and then you out of here, you know what

967
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean. You booked, you booked, you got merch you

968
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I mean. So that didn't exist.

969
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: So I think that that's what you know, Comedy is

970
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,479
Speaker 1: in a state of of it's in a better state

971
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: as far.

972
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: As you being able to make it.

973
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: But I know a lot of the ogs they can't

974
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: stand it because they can't figure it out. And that's

975
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: the thing, like I tell people all the time, making

976
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: it on the internet now is just as difficult as

977
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: making it back in the day when you was, you know,

978
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: handing out flyers with your face on it, because you

979
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: got to catch you know what I mean, And you

980
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: ain't in control of that algorithm. So once that algorithm,

981
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: if you get caught on that algorithm, it could be

982
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: like the situation you make a video just doing an

983
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: interview on the street and the next thing you know,

984
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: you you know, you booked on it Tonight's show. It's crazy.

985
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: It just go like that man, who who? Who is

986
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: your ogs in the game? Who is your man?

987
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: Still?

988
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: Who was my favorite comedian? Rage?

989
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: Yes, Quick was my favorite comedian growing up and still

990
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, as I would say, he's

991
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: been the biggest influence on me just across the board,

992
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: not just in comedy being but in life because his

993
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: daughter is my manager. Okay, the daughter is like and

994
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: that was the most random ship in the world. We

995
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: met at a show in Southern University. Salute the boss,

996
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: lady boss lady management man the best in the world

997
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: if you ask me. But I did a show at

998
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: Southern University, and you know, I had never been in

999
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: New Orleans before. It was my first time going to

1000
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So I was, you know, exploring. Whenever I

1001
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: go to a city I'd never been to before, I explore,

1002

1010
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: asked me because she had never saw me do stand

1011
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,920

1023
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Fast forward?

1024
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: I had you know I've been doing. I was always independent.

1025
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: I did everything on my own. I've always had to.

1026
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: So I had a situation come up where I had

1027
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: a contract that you know what I mean, I really

1028
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: didn't understand the verbage of. And you know, she in

1029
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: the conversation that we had, was like, this is what

1030
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: she was, you know, went to school for and what

1031
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: she wanted to do when she was working with her dad.

1032
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: And I called her and was like, man, I don't

1033
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: know if you ever did this before, but you think

1034
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: you can take a look at this for me.

1035
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 3: And we've been working together ever since, so you know,

1036
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: Quake Martin. Of course, Martin is man.

1037
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: Martin helped raise me man like just you know, he

1038
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: influenced the culture so much. Man Martin is like Alan

1039
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: Ivison to me. They in the same as far as

1040
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: influence on my life. Both of them dudes is quintessential

1041
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: in me being who I am. Patrise O'Neill, Corey Holcom,

1042
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: d Ray Davis, Little Duval, and all of these dudes

1043
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: like Corey, d Ray Duval, all of these dudes, the

1044
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: dudes that I met when I got on wild'n Out,

1045
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: And I say, I'm blessing the game because you hear

1046
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: a lot of hard stories about the OG's embracing the

1047
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: young generation. I didn't go through that. All of them

1048
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: showed me love immediately. Like Corey was the first person

1049
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: that I saw in our first workshop when we got

1050
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: to wilding Out, and I was like, oh shit, that's

1051
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: Corey hokum. So when we're doing a little fake wild style,

1052
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm going at this nigga. I gotta go

1053
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: at him because that's just who I was. It's like

1054
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: being on the court, like, Okay, they go Jordan, I'm

1055
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna try to go at I'm gonna try to go

1056
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: at the dog man. Nigga did me so greasy in

1057
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: that wild style. I can't remember what he said to me,

1058
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: but it was some of the funniest shit I had

1059
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: ever heard in my life.

1060
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: But you know, I went at him.

1061
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm in my I said he was built like a

1062
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: like a Teddy Graham, And he said something back to

1063
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: me that was way more cold, and he pulled me

1064
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: to the side and gave me the best advice that

1065
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: I ever got in regards to wild'ing out. He said, Man,

1066
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: he let me tell you something. Man, I can see

1067
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: it in you. Man, you got it. He was, let

00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: me tell you figure out something to do on this

00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,680

1070
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 1: the niggas they showing the intro clapping, and that's gonna

1071
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: be the only time they see your ass.

1072
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 3: And that's the really shit ever when it comes to

1073
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: that show.

1074
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,560

1136
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 3: It's amazing. How long did you play UD.

1137
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty seventeen. Y'all had a long careers? Like, what

1138
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: would y'all say, realistically is the lifespan of an NBA career?

1139
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 4: Shit?

1140
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if you can get ten your loving life, yeah,

1141
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 2: but it's probably about five.

1142
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: I think I was goinna say five to seven, five

1143
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 3: to seven.

1144
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 2: I mean the biggest thing is that the average player,

1145
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: or I meant you get it quite right, you have

1146
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: a lot of if you take away the guys that

1147
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: make those ten days or one year things, they take

1148
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: a lot of the years out of it. But if

1149
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: normal player is probably five, five to seven, say.

1150
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: About five to seven? Why do you think that is?

1151
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean twenty and seventeen.

1152
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: A lot of times it's just they don't understand, like

1153
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: some of them just aren't as good as that they

1154
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: think they I want to get drafted they come in.

1155
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 2: The Other one is like just they don't understand the

1156
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: game and the habits of staying like there's a game

1157
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: within the game, just like anything else, and like when

1158
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 2: you're trying to climb that ladder, you got to understand,

1159
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 2: like the answer is always yes till you fucking get there.

1160
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 2: They don't do that.

1161
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 4: We all one trade, one injury, and one coach away

1162
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: from being an all star role player out delete NBA

1163
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 4: got shiny injured, NBA got shiny toy syndrome, the next one.

1164
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 4: Get your ass out of there. If you ain't a superstar,

1165
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 4: you are expendable.

1166
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1167
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: How do you how would you say you become a superstar?

1168
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: Because I know it's more than just playing the game.

1169
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: That's just one aspect.

1170
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of it. A lot of it is

1171
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: just draft position where you're drafted. I mean, because you

1172
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: know when when teams and anything else they invest a

1173
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: lot of time and money into you. They need you

1174
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 2: to be a superstar. If I'm a GM who picked

1175
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: you top five in the in the draft, I'm that

1176
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: motherfucker to show out for me otherwise my jobs at Jeopardy.

1177
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: So it's having those opportunities, and usually those top number

1178
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: one picks if they changed franchises overnight, I mean, and

1179
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: then some of them just can't miss it, like you know,

1180
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you see Lebron's the world, Kd's the world,

1181
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 2: jobs the world, like they just thirt can't miss TV, right,

1182
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: So like those guys to me, But he's right, I mean,

1183
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of this opportunity.

1184
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: But then you get a guy like Joker who was

1185
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: drafting in the second round that happen.

1186
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 2: I was, I was his vet in Denver when he

1187
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: came in and and I saw it from the beginning.

1188
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: But he had that, he had that the whole time.

1189
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: He just needed opportunity. And so they get it wrong

1190
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 2: more than they get it right.

1191
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 4: Because another thing is a lot of guys that made

1192
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 4: their decisions never fucking played the game. They sit in

1193
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 4: front of computer, they sit in front of they sit

1194
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 4: in front of the computer. Let me take my class

1195
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 4: off for this. You didn't get telling class off. All

1196
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 4: you motherfuckers that sit at home and never played and

1197
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 4: worry about how how somebody jump and how fast they

1198
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 4: fucking run and drafting based off that that that shit

1199
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 4: doesn't put that that that has nothing to do with

1200
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 4: fucking winning and losing. I hope you know that now,

1201
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 4: because the joker can't jump over a biscuit, you know

1202
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, motherfucker. So, and I'm six six.

1203
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 3: I lied and said I was six eight, but I

1204
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 3: got three ring. I'm six six. So all you motherfuckers

1205
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 3: that sit at home and the wingspan and six and

1206
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 3: that's the problem.

1207
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 4: They don't measure heart, They don't measure how motherfucking desperate

1208
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 4: a motherfucker is to put itself a position to take

1209
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 4: care of his family.

1210
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 3: What's his Why? Why is he doing this?

1211
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 4: Because let me tell you this, Once I walked in

1212
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 4: the position of any arena with anybody, it was me

1213
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 4: and you. We locking ourselves in the room, motherfucker, and

1214
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 4: I'm coming out. That's how I approach every situation. I'm

1215
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 4: the one coming out, motherfucker. We're gonna lock ourselves in

1216
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 4: this room, and I'm coming out.

1217
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: So I questioned, like, who would you say, because you you,

1218
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,959
Speaker 1: you know, you play you guys playing in the league

Speaker 1: for so long, but you know, coming from the hood

1220
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,959
Speaker 1: is so many dudes who you know could have made

1221
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: it or if they would have just not did this

1222
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: or not did that.

1223
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: So who would you.

00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 4: is the school that's in my hood, Liberty City. He

1237
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: went to University of Miami. He was the first player

1238
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 4: to get drafted for the Heat from Miami.

1239
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

1240
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 4: So he got drafted from the Miami from Miami Hurricanes

1241
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 4: to the Miami Heat. From my hood. But Tim James

1242
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 4: was like a fucking legend in the hood. He high

1243
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 4: jumped seven to two. You know what, I'm saying he

1244
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 4: was average twenty in basketball, you know what I'm saying.

1245
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 4: So he pretty much was the guy in the hood

1246
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,959
Speaker 4: that he did every fucking thing. So he got drafted

1247
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 4: by the Heat. I think his career with the Heat

1248
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 4: only lasted about two years, but that shit had an

1249
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 4: impact on me that lasted forever. So once I got

1250
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 4: to the Miami Heat, I wanted number forty one because

1251
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 4: Tim James, two because my pops were number forty. Tim

1252
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 4: James was legend in the hood.

1253
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 2: One thing too about it, like, and it's hard for

1254
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: these guys to understand it, but at sixteen seventeen, they

1255
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: especially now because of how things are going, Like, you

1256
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 2: got to make professional decisions, Like every decision you make

1257
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 2: is the difference between you making it and not making it.

1258
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 2: School you choose what you do, like all these things

1259
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: coming to perfect. If you want to be that dude,

1260
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 2: you got to make great decisions. Some are just so

1261
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: good that can do it on their own, but very

1262
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 2: few of them can do it.

1263
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 3: It's on the right property, right coach, They're.

1264
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 2: Making professional decisions now it's seventeen years old. What's cool

1265
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 2: am I going to? What am I doing? How am

1266
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: I going to circle, my team.

1267
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 4: Get millions of dollars. That's millions of the nil That

1268
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 4: shit is crazy. We joked about it early.

1269
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: You got it, gave me, gave me to.

1270
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: Now Ben As though you guys are in media, man, like,

1271
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: how do you just say that people making a decision

1272
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't didn't play the game. Does it make it

1273
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: easier for you to be because I watch you on

1274
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, on as an analyst, and you know what

1275
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like y'all working in the media space. Do

1276
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: y'all find it difficult to be able to talk about

1277
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: players because you played the game? Or does it make

1278
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: it easier for you to talk about the game because

1279
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: you play?

1280
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 4: I mean me personally, like, and I've already had this,

1281
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 4: you know, these things come up for me. You know

1282
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I'm gonna make it a point to

1283
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 4: always speak the truth. But it's the way you say

1284
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 4: certain things, and I think the delivery is the most

1285
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: important thing about it. So I'm always gonna speak the truth.

1286
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 4: If you are not there, stunck it up, I'm gonna

1287
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 4: say you stunk it the fuck up. You know what

1288
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 4: I'm saying, But I might not say it like that.

1289
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, but also, besides criticizing the

1290
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 4: way you stuck it up, I'm gonna talk about what

1291
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 4: you could have did better and how you could have

1292
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 4: done it better and what you could have done differently.

1293
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 4: So for me, I'm always gonna have somewhat of a

1294
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 4: you know, balance Outlook, you know what I'm saying on

1295
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 4: a lot of that shit, you know what i mean?

1296
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 4: No matter who it is that people know I can't

1297
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 4: stand the mother fucker Celtics. But if i'm gonna speak

1298
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 4: on Jason Tatum'm gonna speak on Jaylen Brown, anybody got

1299
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 4: to do the Celtics, I'm gonna shoot straight and I'm

1300
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 4: gonna be honest. You know what I'm saying. If they

1301
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 4: got off and they did their thing, they did they

1302
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 4: motherfucking thing, you know what I'm saying. So I'm always

1303
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 4: gonna be straight. I'm always gonna be honest, but I'm

1304
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 4: gonna be thoughtful about the way I present. You know

1305
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. The things that I say, I think.

1306
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 2: It's I think it's a lot like comedy. If you're

1307
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: gonna say something, you gonna be willing to get hit back,

1308
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like if you're gonna go

1309
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 2: up there and say the truth, which which is? And

1310
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 2: when you get in the media, it's hard to criticize

1311
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: other players because you understand what they're going through because

1312
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: you lived in your entire life. But like, if you're

1313
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 2: doing it, you know you're gonna get fired back on right.

1314
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: But he don't have to worry about that because he

1315
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 3: an agent.

1316
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: I am an agent.

1317
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 4: They are gonna they're only gonna fuck with me. I

00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 4: mean he got immunity. Got immunity, You will say, of course, yeah, well,

1319
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean that made it difficult to say something. But

1320
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 4: what what was the did anybody and you don't have

1321
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,040

Speaker 1: who critique comedy the same way now, like with the

1356

1359
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: able to, you know, give strategy for people who actually

1360
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: make it into being in the space of being criticized,

1361
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: because that's what you want. I tell people all the

1362

Speaker 1: time when they ask me for advice, like get to

1363

1366
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: the same time being able to manage that. It's the

1367
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: It's so crazy. It took me a while to be

1368
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: able to figure out how to do it because you

1369
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: know them comments, Man, you get to read them comments, Man,

00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: if he say. But the reality is, man, that I

1375
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: realized is like it's like having a line of people,

1376
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: ninety nine of them, it's one hundred people. Ninety nine

1377
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: of them got one hundred dollars handing out to you

1378
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: the one hundredth person don't got nothing standing there with

1379
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: their eyes their arms crossed. You'll walk past ninety nine

1380
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: people with a hundred dollars to walk to the one

1381
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: person that ain't got nothing? What you standing here with

1382
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: your arm crossed for nigga? Fuck wrong with you? And

1383
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: it's the most asinine thought process ever. So you gotta

1384
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: figure out how to tap into what you in control

1385
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: of it. You can always turn it off and you know,

1386
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: subscribe to the world that's always gonna be outside.

1387
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 3: So that's the way I advist.

1388
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: Why I asked, did y'all have anybody that you you know,

1389
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: had to pipe yourself down from going to swing on

1390
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: because they said something.

1391
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 6: He's not worth the jersey that his name is printed

1392
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 6: on you Donnis Haslum has Lum never done anything creative

1393
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 6: in his life. I mean, look at him on the block.

1394
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 6: He's garbage. We need to get him out of here.

1395
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: We can get a good second round pick. And you

1396
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: sitting there at the house like, man, who the fuck

1397
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: is first Buler talking to you?

1398
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? You know, it's it's crazy.

1399
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy to man like y'all under a lot

1400
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: of pressure as athletes, but I wonder if it changes

1401
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: once you get into media, like because of that, you

1402
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: feel like, man, I can't I can't say what I

1403
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: would normally say because I understand I don't want to

1404
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: hurt this dude feelings because I know you had a

1405
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: bad game.

1406
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 4: Or anybody I know that fuck with me. Know that

1407
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna shoot it strict. And if you mad at

1408
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 4: me for being honest and that, you probably ain't fuck

1409
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 4: with me the way I think you do. I'm honest

1410
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 4: with you anywhere. I probably before I probably said it

1411
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 4: on TV. I probably already told you you. Yeah, I

1412
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 4: already told you how I feel.

1413
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 3: It's hurt me, that's respective, you know what I'm saying.

1414
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: The only time that becomes a real issue around playoff

1415
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: time anyway, that's for the sensitivity rams.

1416
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: But what I don't the loss is hurt work.

1417
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 2: I mean, but and and everything's magnetized, right like magnify everything.

1418
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: But like during the season, if you're a real hooper,

1419
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: you knew you were sorry fuck that night anyway, you

1420
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: don't need someone to tell you.

1421
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: What I don't do.

1422
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 4: You don't like that piggyback on bullshit. I don't piggyback

1423
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 4: on bullshit because the hot topic is now brownie. So yeah,

1424
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 4: piggyback on man and let everybody want to pick and

1425
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 4: the maturation of Bronnie.

1426
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 3: I want to take on that man. I want I

1427
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 3: am let him grow, let him do what you gotta hear.

1428
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna piggyback off you niggas just hate us to

1429
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: his crowd. You people are haters because it makes no sense.

1430
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: It makes no sense that you're mad that nepotism is

1431
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: in play for us. I think that's what it is

1432
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: when you see we get such a bad stigma as

1433
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: black men for not being fathers across the board. That's

1434
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: why I never understood the discontent for the Ball family.

1435
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: It's like, man, this black man raised three boys and

1436
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: sent them all into being successful, and you mad because

1437
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: he talking like he talking, is like, well, yeah, man,

1438
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: you don't brag, you don't be nah, you do brag

1439
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: lebron James has been the shit since he was in

1440
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: the third grade, and he has made it to where

1441
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: he is able to even if it was straight nepotism

1442
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: and he's not good enough, So what that's what you

1443
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: do it for? Look at how many people have came

1444
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,959
Speaker 1: before us that never got the opportunity to be able

1445
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: to utilize their namesake for their children. No matter how

1446
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: big they namesake was, they never got the opportunity to

1447
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: be able to implement their child into a space based

1448
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 1: off of the work that they've done.

1449
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: It don't matter who it is is.

1450
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,959
Speaker 1: You can't name too many people who have just made

1451
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: it so big that they had just been able to say,

1452
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: all right, man, I want my son on this team,

1453
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: and they'd be good enough to be able to make

1454
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: that happen.

1455
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Man, that's a blessing.

1456
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: That is a blessing that even if that was the case,

1457
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: which is not, I don't care how bad you think

1458
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Brownie is, the nigga is still good enough to be

1459
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: playing in the battle.

1460
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you in two ways. First of all,

1461
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 2: when you said that Brownnie's first unbelievable kid, and he's

1462
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 2: fucking good at basketball, right, you know, I mean, like

1463
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: obviously his numbers that usc does not translate into what

1464
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 2: the people are saying, but he's a good at basketball.

1465
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 2: He's going to be good at basketball. The second thing is,

1466
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: fuck it, Lebron James. First of all, they have max contract.

1467
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: If the team could give him a billion dollars right now,

1468
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 2: they give him billion dollars. So if they're gonna give

1469
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: his son an extra eight million dollars to keep bron there,

1470
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 2: that's so yeah, that's.

1471
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, Like I don't understand what it's. It's

1472
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: so many niggas that didn't have they daddy hating. It's like, bro,

1473
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: how let your father don't be mad cause you didn't

1474
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: get the benefit of nepotism. Like nepotism is something that

1475
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: we didn't get to utilize in our community. So I

1476
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: love to see own shit, right, I lost all that,

1477
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: don't money, all of that. You don't own nothing, like

1478
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't have anything. So that legacy, just the legacy

1479
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: of the name. Man, you working for the pitch over

1480
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: the fireplace out here, because eventually you're gonna be gone,

1481
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: but that pitchure over the fireplace is gonna be like, yeah,

1482
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you see granddad, man, granddad did it, and that's the

1483
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: way that it's supposed to be. Like I've been seeing

1484
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: all of that. Hey, well he ain't good enough, he

1485
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: ain't this and nothing. No, you're not good enough. You're

1486
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: not good enough. That's who's not good enough. He was like, well,

1487
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: he's taking the opportunity from a player who deserves it.

1488
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Who who did he take the opportunity from? Who? Say

1489
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the name of your cousin? Like stopping man, Yeah, man,

1490
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: my cousin Roy Man both go to the league. He

1491
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: was gonna get drafted, but they made Brownie in Laker. Man.

1492
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: He ain't get a.

1493
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: Chance that man.

1494
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Stop it, man, Let that man be as great as

1495
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: he has been there. And I don't understand the hate

1496
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that Bron get man, the way that that man has

1497
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: never been in any type of public under any type

1498
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: of scrutiny. I'm talking and he's literally all the way

1499
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: at the top of the mountain, has been probably since

1500
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,439
Speaker 1: what would you say, bron became the man in the NBA?

1501
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 3: How many years the.

1502
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: Year first year is basically second year in the league.

1503
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: First second year twenty two thousand and three, two thousand

1504
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and four, So twenty plus years this man has been

1505
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the biggest name in basketball. And you

1506
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: ain't never seen him nowhere drunk. You ain't never seen

1507
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: him with no random women in public. You ain't never

1508
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: heard about his name being in nothing. He ain't sign

1509
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: no rappers.

1510
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 3: He ain't did none of that.

1511
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: He's done nothing but be an upstanding and amazing And

1512
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: then it's like you get to a point where this

1513
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: man has made it to where he's created a lane

1514
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: for his children to be able to follow in his

1515
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: footsteps based on his work, even if they and I

1516
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: don't think that's what it is. I'm not saying that's

1517
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: what it is. But even if that was what it was,

1518
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: how do you how's that not celebrated?

1519
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: Man?

01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: know what you do, but us man, we backwards man.

1522
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 2: And he been, he's been, he's been involved in he's

1523
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 2: been involved in that. I mean, obviously he's super busy

1524
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 2: and he's been the best player and playing it for

1525
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 2: twenty some years, but he's super involved in his kid's life.

1526
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: To us, I mean, he's been. He's been grooming that

1527
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 2: shit forever.

1528
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 4: People talking about numbers and what he averaged in college

1529
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 4: and what he averaging right now and some of the league.

1530
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 4: It's what people don't understand is when you come into

1531
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 4: the NBA from from college as a rookie or second

1532
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 4: round or whatever, motherfuckers don't really want you to score

01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even then, you see how they look when

1539
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: they first get in the league. I know, y'all, member,

1540
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Kobe shooting the airball like they show that all the time,

1541
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, you not, You gotta

1542
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 1: learn your way exactly to the game win.

1543
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 4: Can you guard some fucking body? Can you retain for

1544
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 4: this run a player? We ain't got to stop and

1545
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 4: go over it again because your dumb ass can't keep up.

1546
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: That's why in Miami, your dumb ass, Hey, turn the

1547
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: cameras off. You're gonna have to get the funk out

1548
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: of here with that stupid as Ye. Man, my knees hurts.

1549
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: It's not making me run this play like that.

1550
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 2: And in the reality of the situation is there's no

1551
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 2: one team that drafted the second round this year. I

1552
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 2: thinks it's gonna be a rotational guy. Anyways, let's be honest.

1553
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 3: Exactly waving.

1554
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they watching, We got fans out there, so before

1555
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 2: we let you gotta ask you question.

1556
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 3: Oh, no problem.

1557
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Most memorable wowd out moment.

1558
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I tell you mine? Oh man, yeah yeah,

1559
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 4: please Chico, let's bring it back. Wild Style is looking

1560
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 4: kind of whack. You crazy lady is having my baby.

1561
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you.

1562
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Uh man, man, you know what, It's gonna sound crazy

1563
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: because that's like asking me, what's your favorite locker room moment?

1564
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, because when you're on the other side of it,

1565
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: you see all of it. So it's hard for me

1566
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to just pick from.

1567
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 3: You know, Okay, I do this. I give you both.

1568
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I picked from the on screen and just the totality.

1569
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: My favorite on screen moment for myself is the old

1570
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: school battle when we did the no you know what,

1571
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: I got to take that back because this topic when

1572
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: Los came back, when they had took Los off the

1573
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: show and brought him back that episode. That episode was

1574
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: my favorite episode that we ever shot because it was

1575
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: true improv it was real, like, you know, give a

1576
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: little bit of the background. You know, it's all good.

1577
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Some people some people have help, you know what I mean.

1578
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: Some people don't. You know what I mean. Some people don't,

1579
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: but the help is there. They practice, you know what

1580
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean. It's an improvisational show. But some people you

1581
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: gotta like you said, okay, you're going to go out.

1582
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna say.

1583
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 3: Pick up and kill it and kill it and kill it.

1584
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 3: And then you're gonna say that. You know, people need that.

1585
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: When Los came back after they brought him out, they

1586
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: brought him out like in a hoodie with a mask on.

1587
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: When they took the mask off and we seen him

1588
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: and Nick went to commercial myself, e man fly who

1589
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: else conceded hit? We was like, hey, whoever, don't do

1590
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: this shit. Sit down, don't even get up, don't get up,

1591
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: you get up here. It's different. This episode is different.

1592
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: We ain't doing all of whatever they said were about

1593
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to do.

1594
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 3: Scratch that.

1595
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: So if you can't come up with something immediately watch

1596
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: just sit down and watch. And that's exactly what happened.

1597
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: That's the one where Nick brother shoes and you know

1598
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: what I mean.

1599
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 3: That's that episode. Like, so that was I'm talking about.

1600
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: That episode was so fun because it was one hundred

1601
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: percent improv because we took over, like we completely took over.

1602
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: So I'll say that's my favorite on screen all scream Man.

1603
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: I wish that they could come out with an uncut

1604
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: version of wild'n out man. Oh my god, listen, man,

1605
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: it would be a ten minute reel of Corey Holcom's

01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Now let me tell you something man, and he don't

1612
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: I Man, I love Corey, but I'm gonna tell you, man,

01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: always going to entertain you when you come with the

1616
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: dumb shit, you always got to hear with me. So

1617
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I won't say who it was, but just to go

1618
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: to show you, I won't see this man. We in rehearsal,

1619
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: and this is my first season a while now. This

1620
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: is when all Gold everything was was the popping song

1621
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: right and it's I'm standing beside me doing the place

1622
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: trying Dad James. We doing the play basements for uh

1623
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,680

1624
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: they was placing everybody.

1625
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 3: I'm standing beside us wilding out.

1626
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Girl, and the song is playing, and Corey walks into

1627
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: rehearsal late, walked straight up, straight up to me and

1628
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,799
Speaker 1: was like Chico. I said, well, he said, I'm fucking

1629
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: this bitch raw dick all in her yaw. She pushed

1630
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: it down and tried to talk and said, oh.

1631
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 5: Bro, I'm like, Bro, what the fuck d you mean?

1632
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: I found they had to run away.

1633
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, what if? What the fuck is wrong

1634
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 3: with you?

1635
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 4: Matt?

1636
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, what I didn't say hello or nothing,

1637
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: just walked straight up singing that shit. Like So, the

1638
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: behind the scenes would be what I would want the

1639
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: people to see, because the stuff that happens when we're

1640
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: not filming, like the backstage and the r room and

1641
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the jokes that get cut. Oh my god, man, we

1642
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: need to come out with an unfiltered version of that

1643
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 1: show because boy man, Corey is.

1644
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 4: No feelter cancel culture.

1645
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 3: What whatever.

1646
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Like that.

1647
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say that you worry.

1648
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 4: About that you were about to cancel, think about your jokes,

1649
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 4: and you think about what you know, what I shouldn't say.

1650
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: As long as I'm not operating the maliciousness, you can

1651
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: feel however you want to feel about my truth as

1652
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: you're right, it's your You entitled to your opinion, just

1653
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: like I'm entitled not to give a fuck about it

1654
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: as long as i'm I feel like if I'm doing

1655
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: something malicious, then that's different. If I'm maliciously trying to

1656
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: hurt somebody's feelings, then that then I think that that's

1657
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the energy that would create the backlash that you get

1658
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: when you're just saying stuff for shock value and you

1659
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: really don't have any attachment or or it doesn't mean

1660
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: anything to you what you're saying. Everything I talk about

1661
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: on stage means something to me. These are my opinions,

1662
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: these are my thoughts, This is my point in the world.

1663
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: So if you don't like it, you're entitled to that.

1664
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: But you know, and of course you gotta be You

1665
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: gotta be careful with what you say these days because

1666
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: you got to respect that. You know, the times have changed.

1667
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Sh It ain't the way it was back in the day.

1668
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: You can't you know, and Living Color wouldn't be able

1669
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: to come on to you.

1670
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 5: Now.

1671
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and you gotta respect that.

1672
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: But still, even in toring the line, you gotta know that, man,

1673
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: you can't straight too far away from your truth, because

1674
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: then who are you? You know what I mean, people

1675
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: aren't getting the true essence of who you are as entertainer.

1676
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: So nah, I don't worry about it. Of course, I'm

1677
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: cognitive and mindful of the fact that you have to

1678
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: be strategic about certain words you can't say now because

1679
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: but then, like I said, if in knowing that, if

1680
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: I did that, that would be me being malicious. I

1681
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: know it's no need for me to say this, that

1682
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: and the third. So if I just do that, that

1683
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: means I'm trying to get some type of shock value

1684
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 1: to go viral, And nah, I don't operate like that,

1685
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:50,560
Speaker 1: So I don't really worry about it.

1686
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 2: Ain't it In what ways did Chocolate City mold you

1687
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 2: to be hilarious? We want stories, big dog? That's what

1688
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 2: you asked?

1689
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: Oh man, somebody from DC city man, white chocolate, White

1690
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Chocolate Chip City. Now I'll be Yeah. It's ridiculous, man.

1691
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: The gentrification is crazy. It's so crazy seeing your your

1692
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:08,440
Speaker 1: crowd walk around.

1693
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 3: In the city.

1694
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: They walk around with dogs I have never seen before.

1695
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm like a dog, Like what that sound like a drink?

1696
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: That's crazy? But man, the city is everything to me, man,

1697
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: I am in walking embodyment of Washington, DC. Like, That's

1698
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: why I'm so enthused by cultures other places, because I'm

1699
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: so entrenched in my own that I can understand from

1700
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: a vantage point that you know, especially with our crowd. Uh,

1701
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: we the same everywhere, you know, the same stuff is

1702
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: going on every city you go to. The script is

1703
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: the same. The characters might change a little bit, you know,

1704
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: what they look like, how they dress, how they talk,

1705
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: the accents and all that, but the things that are

1706
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: going on in these environments are exactly the same. So

1707
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, me growing up in the city, you had

1708
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: to be willing to, you know, go at it. In

1709
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: regards to getting joned on, we call it joning. But

1710
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: it don't matter who you were. You could have had

1711
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: the flies outfit on in the world. But you're gonna

1712
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: walk in their home room and somebody gonna point out

1713
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: something that you know. I mean, hey, man, I bet

1714
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: your mother had to do a lot of stroggle to

1715
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: get you that sweatsuit last night. Well, your mama probably

1716
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 1: couldn't even go to work this morning. Boy, mister Charles

1717
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: came over there and got you. Mister Charles got you them.

1718
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: Jon slim. Ain't no way. You just got that what

1719
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: your mother did to get you there? Now you the

1720
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: flies nigga mad. So you know that right there is

1721
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 1: you know, would embodied me being okay with not only

1722
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: walking in my own skin and being comfortable and being

1723
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 1: able to say I don't care what you think about me,

1724
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: but also being able to fire back with just as

1725
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: much verocity as people give you. And also, you know,

1726
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I come from a city that's you know, it was

1727
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: real rough growing up. You know, DC was it still

1728
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: is in a lot of ways, but it was a

1729
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: real war zone in my era coming up, and I

1730
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: was amongst that every day. So for me to be

1731
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: an example of what it can look like if you

1732
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: take a take the road, let's travel, it's something that

1733
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: is the biggest thing for me. Like I love being

1734
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: a representation of my city. So people who come from

1735
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: where I come from can look and say, hey, man,

1736
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: it's something greater for me than what I see in

1737
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: these you know, four quadrants of this city. You know,

1738
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: I remember when it changed for me when my uncle

1739
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: lost his life in two thousand and two. I never

1740
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: forget I walked, I watched him pass away, I walk

1741
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 1: out the hospital, and when I get out in front

1742
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: of Howard University Hospital, everything was still moving all height.

1743
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Don't talk right here, alright man AI, And I'm like,

1744
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: my world is destroyed, but the world is going to

1745
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: spend regardless of what I got going on. So at

1746
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: that point I realized it's up to me to take

1747
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 1: my world and make the best of it. But I

1748
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: still come from this place. So I'm just, you know,

1749
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: a walking representation of the city. So everything that I

1750
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: do is embody is embodyment in some way, shape or

1751
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: form or Washington, DC.

01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,880

Speaker 2: if you can be real and almost like what we

1828
