37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: like Pandemic had just really liked. Uh, it's weird to say,

Speaker 2: Its legs underneath them. You know what I'm saying. Get together.

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: You know, I was a big fan of the pandemic.

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, back in the day, But

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: then I.

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: Started working out. All of a sudden, it gets strong.

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, y'all on it. You know what I'm saying.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Y'all can see them, you know.

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Before the pandemic came through and crushed

47
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: the buildings.

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's finals MVP Steph Curry right now, you know.

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, before it really you know, blew up you

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: and you were talking about like yo, keep your distance

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. And now I want to say,

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: you're on like volume twenty two of the keep It Like,

53
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: how many volumes are you on?

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Now? Okay? Rod? I honestly, I feel like the.

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 5: Pandemic has has ripped a fiber in the space time

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: continuum and I no longer can accurately tell time because

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: we've been doing the show.

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: For three years.

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and.

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: This is our third location or no, yeah, second three years,

61
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: second location, and it's I feel like twenty twenty twenty

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: twenty one was just like one long but also short years.

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 5: It was a blur, yeah, because all the things that

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: you usually like give your mind markers. You're like holidays, birthdays, traveling,

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 5: You're like, oh we went there, we did this.

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: You didn't do any of those things, right, oh year.

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: It feels like one long kind of like time out.

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: So it doesn't feel like I've been doing the show

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: for three years, but we've been over three years, over

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: probably one hundred at this point, probably one hundred and

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: twenty five thirty black comedians, Like we still have at

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: least one or two people on the show that have

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: never been on the show before.

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Wow, it's kind of crazy now.

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's so dope. I love seeing when it's like

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: people I know getting on there, Like I saw Serame.

77
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the things he's the best.

78
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Roman is he's a crowd. I mean he

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: he is, like what really to me? Keep Your Distance

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: really represents people who are so funny and should be

81
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: famous already.

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: Yes, I've been saying that about him for years.

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: Dog his two Keep Your Distance sets, and this is

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 5: no I'm not even exaggerating. I enjoyed his more than

85
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 5: the last probably fifteen specials I've seen on Netflix. Like

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 5: most of the time I just see duds unless they

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: like your favorite, like Earthquake had a really good special.

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: He might be the one outcast.

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, but for the most part I'm talking about like

90
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: I laugh hard not this. That was a good point.

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: That was provocative. I mean, I am laughing. That was

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: a great joke.

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: His twenty thirty minutes on those two is as funny

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: as anything I've seen on Netflix.

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: You know what else? It is like when you have

96
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: comedians that are like trying to get on and coming up,

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: up and coming and stuff. They they have different topics

98
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: than the ones that like Netflix and stuff want to

99
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: get everybody that's like established, trying to find a household

100
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: name the household name. It is the only thing they

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: have to talk about at this point. Is like people

102
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: telling me not to talk about stuff like it's not

103
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot left to conquer, you know

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like it's not a lot of like,

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, let me just tell you what it's like

106
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: being a dad. It's a lot of like y'all ain't

107
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: gonna make me. I'll tell you what. Y'all ain't gonna

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: pump me. It's like, all right, man, when you the

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: fifteenth comedian that's done that, right, Like I want to

110
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: hear some new people, you know what I mean.

111
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: It's like that, bro.

112
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: They the the hunger of somebody who ain't on yet,

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: and also who's been working these jokes for long.

114
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: It's just different.

115
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: It's like you're trying to get into the league versus

116
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: you've been in the league and you're established.

117
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: Like they just be hungry and ready to go.

118
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they going.

119
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 5: They're as funny as ever because they ain't got that

120
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 5: special yet, so they're working on special materials still that

121
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 5: if they had a special that stuff would go in there.

122
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: And that's what I love the most about the show.

123
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: That's why I very rarely book any like ogs right,

124
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: because they don't be like they don't they don't bringing

125
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: it like people who ain't ever been to La people

132
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,839

136
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,719

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 5: I be doing, I'll be like, man, this is crazy.

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: I don't really be thinking about it like that. I'd

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 5: be thinking about the stress of it more than.

142
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: My thing, that's right.

177
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: I was doing church comedy one hundred percent of the

178
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: time at the time.

179
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: You cannot compete with the Holy ghosts.

180
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,760

181
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost is like Dave Japelle, It's gonna bump you.

182
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: They can do an hour and a half, it could do.

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: It can do a fifteen minutes.

184
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: The Holy Ghost whenever, whenever, it feels like leaving the room.

185
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: And then it'll mess around and leave and come back.

186

Speaker 2: As a church kid? You know how how how conflicting

189
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: it is to be mad the Holy Ghost is here?

190
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Like yes, Yeah, that's why I knew. I knew I

191

275
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: hard stories of people like man, I took a rowboat

280
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: a cost that doesn't have a h it doesn't have

290
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: it ain't because I want something, It's because I bro

291
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: I remember the first time somebody flew me out and

292
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: when I got to back claim, they were holding my

293
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: name with the sign yeah right, and you don't you

294
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: you broke right now Uber pri like honestly to Uber.

295
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: If I made people Uber to the hotel, it would

296
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: it could be half of.

297
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 5: Their pay, like literally depending on if it was from

298
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 5: lax to where the hotel is.

299
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: Even if I covered everything else.

300
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: And I just didn't take them to the hotel, bro,

301
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: they could lose not even exaggerated, at least at least

302
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars going to and.

303
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Fro you know what I'm saying.

304
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: So I just want.

305
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, black people, I just I'd rather like to have

306
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: people have an amazing expense then me make a little

307
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 5: bit more money.

308
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: Like that's for me. Obviously we all want money to

309
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: live and surviving all that type of stuff.

310
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 5: But at some point I never want to be a

311
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: good point where it's always about the bottom line. It

312
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: can't always about I'm blessed, I do Okay, I got,

313
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: I mean its.

314
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Original reginal Google.

315
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: Come on, I have to you don't have to be crazy, bro,

316
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: you don't have to be like you don't have to

317
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: get every right, bro. But what yeah, like, and that's

318
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: kind of my philosophy, Like even in the deals with

319
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: me now, I don't want people to take advantage of

320
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: me and somebody you can take that kind of.

321
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: They're like, okay, well we're gonna do this, and I'm like, okay, nah, yeah, yeah,

322
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't even keep your me with other adventures.

323
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: But I like to be fair because the world is

324
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: already kind of harsh enough, especially for black people taking

325
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: advantage enough. And I know, and honestly, there's a little

326
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 5: bit of selfishness to it. If I forget killed canceled,

327
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 5: I have so many people that I looked out for.

328
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: Somebody might put me up.

329
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, come on you and you never know.

330
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: And also, right, I don't blame you and everybody nice

331
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: because you don't know.

332
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what you don't know.

333
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: And also it's one of the things where I feel

334
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 4: like I am blessed to be a blessing. And so

335
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: if you're in a position to do the U to

336
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: do for other people, you might not get it back financially.

337
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: You might actually get it with new opportunities and like

338
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: these other ways that are not tangible, and a lot

339
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: of people don't see it like that. Because we do

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: our live show here in Charlotte, so yes, it could

341
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: become very and we do it on a very small

342
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: scale compared to you and and the cost does add up.

343
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we you know, we've had people we have

344
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: like comedians that you know, we know that throughout the

345
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: show and podcasting and stuff will have them come out

346
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: and open for us. And that was the thing for us,

347
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: was like when it was going over christ it was

348
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: and costs and stuff is like, all right, but we

349
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: have a comedian. We should fly them out. We gotta

350
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: get on a hotel. We got to make sure they

351
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: get paid, Like we want to make sure that people

352
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: that work with us come back and have good things

353
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: to say, because that's also how you get other people

354
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: to want to work with you. Because it was like

355
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: you can see it like after Chris Lambeth opened for us,

356
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: and you know, you would hear people on like a

357
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: podcast or something like and paid you for that and

358
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: he's like yeah, and it's you know. It also is

359
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: that comedians are just like one of the most abused

360
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: groups of people. They don't have a union that that

361
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: every community has a hard story about. Like a gig

362
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: keV just told his about flying to la not getting

363
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: paid all.

364
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: They were changing clothes and back in the back wherever

365
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: frying Chicken if you'sh at.

366
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: The savery comedian has one of the at least one,

367
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: if not many of these stories. So like, it does

368
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: feel like so many people exploit them that it's dope

369
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: to see people like treat people well.

370
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and that's the thing, like, and that isn't even

371
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: always the club to be honest. A lot of times

372
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 5: other comedians like because the industry is so harsh. If

373
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 5: everybody's getting fifty bucks for hosting, you're not abnormal with

374
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 5: you saying I got fifty bucks for you, right. But

375
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 5: my thing is like if I'm selling out in Charlotte,

376
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 5: like Charlotte's one of my big cities, Okay, I can

377
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 5: give you fifty dollars, but bro, I'm.

378
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: I could give you more.

379
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could give.

380
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: You essentially a livabool wage.

381
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 5: Like I want my people around me to be like, Bro,

382
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 5: I want you to go to a famous person to

383
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: be like broken paid me more?

384
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 3: What is this?

385
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah?

386
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 5: And I think Karen for real, one of my models,

387
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: is blessed to be a blessing.

388
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: Like I feel like if I give.

389
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: More than I give more than normal, which what God

390
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 5: gives me then I can have, then He'll trust me

391
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 5: with more to give.

392
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and it's a grown thing.

393
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes.

394
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 5: Yes, I got to be like bro when I blessed him,

395
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 5: this person get blessed, this person get cool, this person

396
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: started pocketing, this person paid.

397
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: Their rent, this person did that. That's you know what

398
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

399
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: And also what happens like I had a situation where

400
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 5: somebody who worked for.

401
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: Me wasn't paying people right they worked with me.

402
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: And the thing that saved me is I have other

403
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 5: people on that set that had worked with me, and

404
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: they were like.

405
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Oh no, this ain't kVA.

406
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: The one thing they do is pay, They pay the

407
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 5: right mount, they pay on time.

408
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Right, so they know something.

409
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: Right.

410
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, people don't forget who treats them really wrong or

411
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 5: who treats them really right.

412
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 4: Right right them two extremes. I one hundred percent agree.

413
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 4: And it's also one of the things where I remember

414
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: when me and Roderick we went to was in Miami

415

Speaker 4: and uh uh we got off and they had had

416
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: somebody come and actually because we was at a conference.

417
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: We were speaking at Revolte Con on this panel for podcasters.

418
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead. I I just wanted to get

419
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520

Speaker 4: Everybody, Like, we've been friends forever, so you got you

423
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: got to work.

424
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm I'm old and black, so we're gonna jump with

425
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: our start.

426
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 4: So when we had got off the plane, me and

427
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: Roger was looking at each other like, well, I guess

428
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: how we're going to.

429
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: Get to the hotel. And it just so happened.

430
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 4: We were walking walking and it was this dude, this

431
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: white dude, that was holding up a sign with our

432
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 4: names on it, and at first we actually passed I

433
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: think we might have passed him and walked around and we.

473

478
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: just be done with it. And like if Rod was

479

Speaker 1: going to Charleston, I'll never stay at a motel eight. Again,

485
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 5: a night, and that was the cheapest room we could get.

486
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: And I remember being like, maybe we shouldn't have come

487
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: to nap.

488
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,879

00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: this means.

581
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: Listen. I told I told them on a podcast.

582
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: I said, white people need to have thirty June teenths

583
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: before they get the day off, because it was thirty

584
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: months before black slaves knew the slavery was over, thirty

585
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 5: years of teens before they get.

586
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: The day off. You can't just immediately get the day

587
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: off when you're the reason June teenth exists.

588
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: You know, Like, how you alcoming me off?

589
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: We didn't get no benefit.

590
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: What I keep thinking is because June teens is awkward

591
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: and it's college because it it's new, and it'll, you

592
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: know a few years from now, we probably won't be

593
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: as awkward for us because we'll like every other holiday

594
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: in America to be so like monetized and whatever. Yeah,

595
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: but the first MLK Day off. The first white person

596
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: to boldly wish a black person have the MLK the

597
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: hands that must have been delivered that.

598
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: This is not even a new thing.

599
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: Right, I'm pretty sure with the MLK was probably fighting

600
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: on sight because I remember my mama was telling me

601
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: when he died how people used to would would.

602
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: Pick at them and throw stuff at them and talk.

603
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: About Joe King dadd and things like that, and she

604
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 4: was like.

605
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: You know what, the first MLK Day would have been

606
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. Man, that I mean, listen, that's a

607
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: bold white person. That's a pioneer. Whoever hit that first? Like, hey,

608
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: happy MLK Kevin to celebrate.

609
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 5: Because you know, I think like sixty or seventy percent

610
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 5: of white people didn't approve of m OK before he died.

611
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Right now, Yeah, yeah.

612
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: They want history.

613
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 5: But they not only do they want him dead or

614
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 5: gone now they hit the holiday off as well.

615
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: Right, it's two for one.

616
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The worst part, the worst part is in the South,

617
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: they would try to like throw in Confederate Day with

618
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: MLK Day, like on the same day, Like it's the same,

619
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, hey, look, we agree

620
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: to disagree, you know, what I'm saying, we both gonna

621
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: barber you, but for different barbecue. Coincidentally, we ain't invite

622
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: no black people to Confederate Barbecue Day. But you know

623
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's it's whatever, it's whatever. You know

624
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, We'll see your work Tuesday. Like it sucks. Yeah,

625
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: that's that's wild, man. But I do think it's just

626
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna take a while. We had a white person with us,

627
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: happy June teen and a cool, cool white dude, but

628
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: it did take sink for a second, like, oh yeah,

629
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: this is the thing.

630
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: How should I responded?

631
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 5: Because that the commercialization is, it's not unique to it.

632
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 5: That's if it's a federal holiday. Capitalism is gonna when

633
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 5: I finally see a juneteenth old Navy cell.

634

Speaker 1: a T shirt website and wear it. But the blacks

649
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: were so mad. I was like, I don't want the problems.

Speaker 3: To buy the ice cream, but it took off the shells.

679
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680

Speaker 2: Answer your question, man.

738
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 5: It is truly a blessing because what has happened over

739
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 5: the last three years, primarily beginning of the pandemic. My

740
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 5: personal profile, it like broke through a tier that I

741
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 5: wasn't used to to where I started, I started getting

742
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 5: drug on Twitter for the first time, drug on Facebook,

743
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 5: drug on YouTube, emails coming everywhere, and then my personal

744
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: life became content fodder, is right, And that was not

745
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 5: I wasn't prepared for that.

746
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: That's a different level.

747
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: It's a different level. And like usually.

748
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 5: Having a group of people who who you know, the Internet,

749
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 5: we love to rush the judgment, we love to go off.

750
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 5: They don't really care about context.

751
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: Framing any of those.

752
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 5: Like I feel like if nothing else, the stage crew

753
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: will give me.

754
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: They give me it straight. They love, they love hard.

755
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 5: They they critique when like I put merchant there, like ideas,

756
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 5: and they'd be like, nah about that, you know what

757
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying, So a lot if they don't really rock

758
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 5: with it, then I don't even I pay the designer

759
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 5: and I don't even I don't even send.

763
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: I was building it right way back. Yeah, it was.

764
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: It was super dope to get true, honest feedback. And

765
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: the thing is, I'm a part of the community too,

766
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: Like I'm it's not just like these are my followers

767

769
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: think about this?

770
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 5: Y'all want to talk about this? Like we put I

771

772
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 5: want to talk about this? And sometimes I'd be like,

773
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about this because it was like a

774
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 5: like two or three month period it was just all

775
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 5: bad news. And I was like, y'all, I'm not finna

776
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 5: we talk and watch that stuff anytime you don't come here.

777
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 5: I mean, I could cover it. I just don't want

778
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 5: to spend my hour and a half like that. Like

779
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 5: when I leave here, I might have to think about that.

780
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 5: So we want to you know, just like at a

781
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 5: comedy show, you want to put that stuff aside for

782
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 5: this amount of time because you know it's gonna be there.

783
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 5: But it's the best, it's the best thing. It allows

784
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 5: me to operate outside of Hollywood. And if I lost

785
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: everything else and just have my Patreon, I'd be straight

786
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 5: like and I'm not even like I'm not exaggerating.

787
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: I would be great.

788
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 5: And I know, like most people blow up and then

789
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 5: you know, that you come down to some level, right, right,

790
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 5: but you keep in fact the stage crew will keep

791
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 5: me humble, but also be like Noah KIV talk, You'll talk, kid, No.

792
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 5: You know, they they're my Patreon. I share stuff on

793
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 5: Patreon that never makes it public. Like some stuff I've

794
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 5: been sharing with them before it's public. Some stuff is

795
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 5: never going to be public, you know what I'm saying.

796
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 5: So it's it's it's great, man, It's the best.

797
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: And I feel like, I feel like audience. Audience is

798
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: a reflection of the people of the person that's creating.

799
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: So like it's like the highest honor you can have

800
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: is I have dope people that are fans of you.

801
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because we've all been in

802
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: those We've all been those situations where you like among

803
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: somebody's fan base and you're like, oh, oh man, y'all

804
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,200

805
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: don't know if this is my spot. But when you're

806
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: in a group of people where it's like welcoming, it's inviting,

807
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: it's real, it's authentic.

808
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they ain't embarrassing you, but you got to be like, oh, roh,

809
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: I have mercy.

810
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: Listen when we were on the road twenty twenty one.

811
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: One compliment we got a couple of times from club

812
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 5: owners or general managers. They were like, your audience is

813
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 5: so nice and pleasant, like especially when the show was

814
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: going right, like sometimes they had been a couple of

815
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 5: times where they had like a lot of waiters call out,

816
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 5: so the food was coming out late, and afterwards a

817
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 5: manager would either tell me or Greg. Greg my tour manager,

818
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: he was like, man, your audience was like, Oh, don't

819
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 5: worry about it. Man, we're good, don't you don't take

820
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 5: your time. He was like, he said the same thing

821
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 5: you said. I'm not gonna mention the comedian's name, but

822
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 5: he was like it was a big name comedian. It

823
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: was like when he comes, all the angry people from

824
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 5: this the town comes and it's like a dark cloud

825
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 5: of at a comment, like they just want to come

826
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 5: be mad.

827
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: He's like, when your audience comes, they they eat, they.

828
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: Eat, we.

829
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: Eat, we eat too, we ate, we ate.

830
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 4: This one places out of chicken wings. It was very

831
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 4: stereotypical like ours, and they were in the first hour

832
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: and a half. They was like, we sorry, no more

833
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 4: chicken wings. You're gonna have to get something else.

834
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 3: It was very sorry.

835
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: It was very stereotypical. But also like I wish they

836
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: had bought more chicken wings.

837
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean we could have told them.

838
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: We know, I know it would have sounded I know

839
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: it would have sounded racist for them to ask us,

840
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: like should we buy more chicken wings, but I would

841

868
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: charitable and stuff as far as like they like we

869

Speaker 1: a it's keV over here if everybody else is still

872
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: they like to be like, oh man, this is going

873
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: live on Friday. I'm gonna be at this. Then I'm

874
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna hop on beyond that, bron beyond that.

875
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: Like I took Tony into here on tour with me

876
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 5: the first two years they're both headlining their own tours.

877
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: The goal isn't and never was, don't stay with me forever.

878
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 5: The goal is you go on tour, take two more

879
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 5: comedics with you, and then you go you take two.

880
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 5: Now nine of us are working because this year I

881
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 5: didn't tour. My goal is it ever to be? And

882
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 5: I listen Russell Simmons.

883
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: He did all that stuff, you know what I'm saying.

884
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 5: But one thing he said a lot was great givers

885
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 5: are great getters.

886
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he also said, I am not You're not here

887
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: for me to hold your star.

888
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 5: No, I'm supposed to share in your warmth and let

889
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 5: you go when you surpass me.

890
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: That's not a slight to.

891
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: Me, No, that's actually that's actually it is a good thing.

892
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of times people are so

893
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 4: intimidated by people that might actually shine brighter than them that.

894
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 3: They don't know how to handle that.

895
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 4: But my thing is to give you what you need

896
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 4: for the time that we are meant to be together,

897
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 4: and then once that season is over, it's time for

898
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 4: you to go off and do your own thing. And

899
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: it's actually a good reflection on me because that meant

900
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 4: I did my job, if that makes sense. And all

901
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 4: they're going to say is how good you were to them,

902
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 4: which actually least a lot of times more people back

903
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 4: to you, which actually starts the process over again.

904
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: And if you've had somebody to do that for you,

905
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: it gives you a feeling of want to do it

906
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: for somebody else. Like if you've had somebody else be like, hey, man,

907
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to help you be the best. Blah

908
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: blah blah bam. Now you're like, yo, that felt great.

909
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure people.

910
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 3: Around me feel the same way.

911
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: I work with.

912
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 5: I tour with Tony Baker is easily one of the

913
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 5: best comedians working. He is a better commute than me,

914
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: and he was a better comedian than me when he

915
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 5: was on tour with me. I only closed because it

916
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 5: was my tour. Any other booker would have switched us

917
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 5: through and I did my thing, but I would be

918
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 5: watching Tony like I'm sure other people watch Lebron or stuff,

919
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 5: like we both in the league.

920
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 4: But.

921
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: They're like Kobe watching Lebron come up, like okay, so

922
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: this is what's next, okay man?

923
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 5: Like I can name you ten fifteen comedians that are

924
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 5: better than me on stage that.

925
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: Don't make me no never mind to me.

926
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 5: And this comes back from all the way when I

927
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 5: was coming up the playmakers, it didn't matter if you

928
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 5: were better.

929
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 2: What matters is the people who watch enjoy the show.

930
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 5: I don't have to be the better, because I remember

931
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 5: if comics were telling me when I first started, and

932
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 5: I never thought about it before they were like, you're

933
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 5: taking Tony into here like they would put me in

934
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 5: aside and be like, you know, you're supposed to take

935
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 5: people who are like way beneath you standing wise, there's

936
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 5: a big jump when you get on stage. And I

937
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: was like, nah, but I want the people who bought

938
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 5: a ticket to be like, that's one of the best

939
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 5: shows I ever seen, top the bottom. I don't want

940
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 5: it to be whack until I get on staye. Matter

941
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 5: of fact, the reason I'm bringing them is because I

942
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 5: want to guarantee it's not whack until I get on stage.

943
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and you're making them stronger too.

944
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: And if you as a fan, I've been to shows

945
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: where they clearly got the comic that wouldn't be a threat,

946
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: and I don't like that. I feel like it's a

947
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: waste of my time. I'm like, you knew this man

948
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: wasn't funny.

949
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: You knew it.

950
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: I'm not the whole It's not a it's not a

951
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: coincidence that everyone in the audience is barely chuckling until

952
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: you get on stage, Like, come on, man, But.

953
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 2: That also makes my job harder.

954
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: Ye risks right.

955
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 5: That means I don't have to bring you guys from

956
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 5: zero up to twenty. Already at nineteen, all I gotta

957
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 5: do is do one thing, and you right back at

958
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 5: twenty where you were on his set, and then you

959
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 5: remember a better show. You don't remember keV was great,

960
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 5: You remember was cool, Tony was good, Angel was good.

961
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 5: Oh man, that show was. I want to see them

962
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 5: when they come back, not just I want to see CAV.

963
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 5: That to me is whack. And I'm also competitive. I

964
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 5: want to I want to be pushed by another comedy.

965
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 5: I want Tony to get a standing ovation before me,

966
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 5: and I see if I can get a standing ovation.

967
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 5: And I didn't always get it after him, but I

968
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 5: went hard to try and get it, you know what

969
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 5: I'm saying. And he Tony's one of those comedians to

970
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 5: here's they don't know, like some comedians like dimmed their life,

971
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 5: because comedians really be like, bro, don't outshine me. And

972
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 5: I'll be like, bro, you're Tony auditioning for his own

973
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 5: tour in front of that. He can't be a less

974
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 5: version of himself, so right, So I.

975
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 2: Like, that's that's super whack.

976
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. We also have questions in the chat from people

977
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: I've been noticing the job, been asking questions in here,

978
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: cav what did you eat today? And why is it?

979
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: Starbucks and Chick fil A hilarious. So the only reason

980
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 2: I didn't go to either one of those today.

981
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 5: Is because we're doing a muckmunk for one of our

982
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 5: pieces of content. But I'm absolutely going to Chick fil

983
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 5: A to get a peach milk shake as soon as

984
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 5: I leave here. And it was in the peach milk

985
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 5: shake wasn't in season, I'd be going to Starbucks to

986
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 5: get a strawberry outside.

987
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: I don't.

988
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 5: I was just thinking about this, Rob Karen. I don't

989
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 5: think I'm ever gonna be in great shape. I just

990
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be probably around this plus and minus ten

991
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 5: and fifteen. But I cannot be committed when when God

992
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 5: has made things taste so good.

993
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: It's so weird, it is bigger.

994
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, Like when I see somebody in great shape, I

995
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: just be thinking, like, so you don't know that food

996
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: is delicious? Like how you don't know? You know? Like

997
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: you could just control that? Wow? Good for you, though, Like.

998
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm like whenever I myself, in so many ways, I

999
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: deny myself rest, I deny myself relaxation.

1000
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 5: I work like crazy I deny myself all I'm not gonna.

1001
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,240
Speaker 2: Deny good food and drink in addition.

1002
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: Like you do good food, like maybe good food just

1003
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: tastes different than me or something. I don't know, you

1004
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like maybe everybody tastes buzz it

1005
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: is different. I'll be like, so you really just you

1006
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: just good with like from broccoli today, your whole day,

1007
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: and that you was able to do that. You amazing

1008
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 1: to me.

1009
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 5: I'm literally going to as soon as we finish it

1010
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 5: there on my way home, and I will probably finish

1011
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 5: it before I get home because I don't want any

1012
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 5: questions about where I was. I always finished Chick fil A.

1013
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 5: Sometimes I pull into their parking line. Eat it there,

1014
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 5: destroy the evidence there, right yeah, go.

1015
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 4: In the trash on the way home, popa peppermints so

1016
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 4: they can't smell the chicken.

1017
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: It's like The Godfather and that that dude shot somebody.

1018
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 3: Ye ain't getting to come.

1019
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: It's like in the Godfather of the Dude dude shot

1020
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: somebody with like a gun and some flowers, and they said,

1021
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: just lead a gun there, like the shooting, lead the

1022
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: evidence right there. Just keep walking. They won't even be

1023
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: paying attention to you. They're gonna be looking at the

1024
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: dude that got shot. Hey, you're gonna get away, cav.

1025
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: How did you learn to just accept the blessings that

1026
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: have come your way and not wait for the other

1027
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: shoe to drop expecting disappointment. That's Nana who says that.

1028
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 5: A big turning point for me because this was very hard.

1029
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 5: A big turning point for me was this book called

1030
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 5: The Big Lead by Gay Hendrix. He basically that book.

1031
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 5: It was instrumental into me becoming the Cav I am now.

1032
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 5: And it was at the time that I needed to

1033
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 5: hear it. Like it was around the time I was

1034
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 5: getting drug and all this other stuff, and I realized

1035
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 5: I was holding myself to all these standards of what

1036
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 5: people wanted me to be, what they might want me

1037
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: to be. And also I think growing up in poverty,

1038
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 5: the reason you wait for the other shoe to drop

1039
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 5: because the other shoe.

1040
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 2: Was dripping bed. Yeah.

1041
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a Beyonce single at midnight. Okay, it's

1042
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna drop.

1043
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: When your taxes came, you do good and then the

1044
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: lights really got cut off. Well, you would go a

1045
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: couple months without roaches, then roaches.

1046
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 5: Would be back, you would have to move a lot

1047
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 5: so we weren't crazy. Hother shit was dropping, so you're

1048
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 5: always like protecting yourself from that. But like moving into

1049
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 5: this season in my life where you know we're blessed

1050
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 5: beyond measure, it took me a minute to be like,

1051
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 5: because I was always I'm gonna get canceled. I'm like this,

1052
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 5: something's going to happen. But I read that book and

1053
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 5: then the worst thing happened. The pandemic happened. Because touring

1054
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 5: was always our number one income for the last forever really,

1055
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 5: but especially the last two years before the pandemic, and

1056
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 5: watching that go from doing well to absolutely zero and

1057
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 5: then coming up with Keep your Distance and having a

1058
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 5: pretty solid year anyway, and reading that book, I was like,

1059
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 5: because my therapist also helped. That was the other thing

1060
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 5: was a one two fun because my therapist, my wife

1061
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 5: recommended the book.

1062
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1063
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 5: I'm always afraid to give somebody credit it's not my

1064
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 5: wife when it was my.

1065
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: Wife's things, because I've done that for so long.

1066
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 5: But somebody important in my life recommend that I read

1067
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 5: that book. And she was like, Kevin, you've all he's

1068
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 5: done a good job.

1069
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: Pivoting. Why would you all of a sudden not know how.

1070
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 5: To do that if something happened, Like why would you

1071
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: not why would you forget how to pivot? And I

1072
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 5: really tried to accept that because it was it was

1073
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 5: too hard to always be looking around the corner, and

1074
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 5: it was too it was too whack to be thinking

1075
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 5: something was gonna happen all the time. So now I

1076
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 5: just live in the truth that is like, maybe something

1077
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 5: will happen, but right now things are good and there's

1078
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 5: no sign that it's gonna be not good, you know

1079
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So so yeah, it took time therapy,

1080
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 5: that book and like retraining my mind to kind of

1081
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 5: like get to get off of that because I was

1082
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 5: living like that for a long time.

1083
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and particularly when you're like a good person, because

1084
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 4: you're like a really good person. So you're one of

1085
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 4: the few people that when people say stuff, I look

1086
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 4: at it with like, he my his business, he don't

1087
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 4: bother nobody, He don't you know, he don't be caught

1088
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 4: no food.

1089
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: So I'm I be rid of looking at them like.

1090
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I have a general rule of

1091
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 1: never going on Twitter and trying to stop somebody's dragging,

1092
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: because it's really just now you're getting dragged. It's never

1093
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen it work. So it's like, I know

1094
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: better than to get involved. But very like the stuff

1095
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: I've seen people try to drag heavin fore, it always

1096
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: be like one either the littlest stuff or like the

1097
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: most conspiratorial. Like but if you take seventeen steps right,

1098
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: So he set it up right seventeen years ago he

1099
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: had believed this thing, and then he got this person

1100
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: five years ago. But see he knew they had tweeted

1101
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: something in twenty thirteen. So if you add all that together,

1102
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, maybe it's just is that's not what happens.

1103
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: Maybe this is innockaous as it looks.

1104
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 2: But Twitter is very bad.

1105
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 5: I really have to like that was what was really

1106
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 5: like messing with me the most.

1107
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 2: Twitter. Yeah, But then I realized a couple of things

1108
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: about Twitter and Lis.

1109
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 5: One, you can change somebody's mind who already believes something

1110
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 5: about you and wants to believe it, because will use

1111
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 5: whatever information of a story that they need to confirm

1112
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 5: that the confirmation bias is there.

1113
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 2: Boom. That's one thing the.

1114
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 5: Internet never forgets an allegation sometimes on the Internet is.

1115
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 2: As good as you being truthy. Just because somebody.

1116
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 5: Accused you of something, people now think it's true. Whether

1117
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 5: it's true or not, you can't change that. And the

1118
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 5: most important thing is Twitter is a much smaller piece

1119
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 5: of the world.

1120
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 2: Than it feels like. And that's happening a couple of times.

1121
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 5: Thinking Hillary was gonna win, you listen to Twitter, it

1122
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 5: was a landslide.

1123
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 4: Ye Berni Sanders would have won.

1124
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren would have won.

1125
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 5: In the actual real world, most people are not on Twitter,

1126
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 5: and if they are, they are.

1127
00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: Not active users. So it's not really a representation of life.

1128
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 5: Like implications like you can't get cancer, you can't lose

1129
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 5: your job. But what happens is it's like a zombie.

1130
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 5: They attack you, they don't see if you're dead, and

1131
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 5: then they move on.

1132
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: Like there's always something.

1133
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 5: One day, I was getting dragged and then the Jada

1134
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 5: in August, I'll see anything happen.

1135
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, they forgot all about you, didn't they.

1136
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 2: Zoie had personally entanglements, say like.

1137
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 5: Past episode, So I have to realize that, like and

1138
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 5: I already prepared my mind. We also as Americans, not

1139
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 5: just Twitter. We love to build somebody up and tear

1140
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 5: them down. So when I start reaching full success, I'm

1141
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 5: gonna get torn down and I'm leaving Twitter.

1142
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 2: And you notice any celebrity, they don't. They're not on Twitter.

1143
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 3: No more.

1144
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: Get it.

1145
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: It's like.

1146
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 3: Twitter, just here's some intern.

1147
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 4: And I've told Roger, if we blow up, some intern

1148
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 4: is taking care of and britting. You know what you're

1149
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 4: gonna get. You gonna get pictures of my feet. You

1150
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 4: gonna get pictures of me on a boat. That's what

1151
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 4: you're gonna get.

1152
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting because like social media companies have even

1153
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: admitted to doing like experiments to see how much they

1154
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: can affect your brain, how much they can make like

1155
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: what drives engagement? You know. Facebook is notorious for that,

1156
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: like like literally having meetings with like an ethics board

1157
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: and safety people being like, hey, we shouldn't do this,

1158
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: and then the people at the top being like, I

1159
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. But that got the more clicks,

1160
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: It got the most clicks. The biggest Facebook group is

1161
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: to stop the still group. So how can we have

1162
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: to stop the still group and still ensure that America

1163
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have a civil wars? Like you can't do both. Hmm.

1164
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: That's an interesting way to say that. I can. I

1165
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: acknowledged here's the thing, you're fired all right now we're.

1166
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: Gonna go that.

1167
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: It's started to most out the steel groups like it's

1168
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: that's so we know that it's doing that, and yet

1169
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: people seem to like operate on a when they log on,

1170
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: they think it's not them, so like so like get

1171
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: in the machine, like oh no, I'm not one of

1172
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: the people that want to destroy everybody, And it's like, well,

1173
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: you spend all day telling you that, uh that jay

1174
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: Z was such and such and such and such a

1175
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: he need to go. You count on one of them people,

1176
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, he spent all day Drake. Drake said the

1177
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: most enlightening thing to me this week. Uh he was

1178
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: getting interviewed and he talked about his album and he

1179
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: used his word twice that I think was so smart.

1180
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: He was like, he surrenders his album to the world

1181
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: when he puts it out, and then he said every album,

1182
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: everything on Twitter basically has this arc of like it's

1183
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: jokes content, like everyone's trying to like slam it when

1184
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: it first comes out as means of it being thrown

1185
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: in the trashes all the stuff. Thens like then two

1186
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: to three weeks later people realize they need music. So

1187
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: then you find out what they really think, because two

1188
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: to three weeks later, it's like, oh, you're still in

1189
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: the charts. Okay, well they must like the album, but

1190
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: you got to go through this hazing. And when he

1191
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: said it, it made me think, like, wait, that is

1192
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: every artist I know artist has that that slope of

1193
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: like we're gonna try to clown and then when the

1194
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: album comes out, we're gonna try to clown, and then

1195
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: it's all right, you know what I do like the album.

1196
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: It's been three weeks. I guess the Kendrick is okay.

1197
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: I guess when Beyonce came out with her album, I

1198
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: remember the first thing was people writing all this the

1199
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, she's a capitalist, you know what I'm saying,

1200
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: she's our head. Yes, Like it was all this negativity,

1201
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: and then like two weeks later, it's like, yo, man,

1202
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: so this thing is really have y'all seen this on

1203
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: Disney Plus It's amazing.

1204
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 5: I thought about that because she had to use so

1205
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 5: many black people in that album, like reached out up

1206
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 5: and I know she was in her mind, like I can't.

1207
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's never good enough.

1208
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 2: And now I just prepare my mind. Yeah, like the

1209
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 2: show that I'm working on, I just prepare my mind.

1210
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 2: Surrender is great. Yeah, once I give it out to you,

1211
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 2: it's it's it's up to you.

1212
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1213
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: And I think also with certain type of people. I know,

1214
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: for me, it is a big thing for me to

1215
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: have to like kind of get over. It was this

1216
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: idea of being a good boy, you know what I mean,

1217
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: Like I kind of like ever s a lot of kids.

1218
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: You want I'm the oldest child, you know. You want

1219
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: your mom and your dad to be like, yeah, you

1220
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: did a good job. You get But seeking that validation

1221
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: from strangers on the internet is such a weird thing

1222
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: because if they don't have any investment in you, there's

1223
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: no incentive for them to even admit that you did

1224
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: write down.

1225
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: Where back to the stage crew. That's why they and

1226
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: they can still not like something, right, But at least

1227
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 2: you are the intended audience of this piece of work,

1228
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 2: and that's an investment.

1229
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's an investment. Yeah, like like whatever.

1230
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 5: Because you're investing, you give it a fair shake, right, Like,

1231
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 5: you know, if you don't care anyway, then it's easy

1232
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 5: to pay something you didn't you didn't care about, right,

1233
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 5: But if you really care about the creator, I feel

1234
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 5: like if it's bad, you probably are like, well, let

1235
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 5: me you know, he was trying to he had a

1236
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 5: lot going on, he had the dog.

1237
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, if you I mean, it's honestly the attempt, Right.

1238
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I'm doing five podcasts a week. They

1239
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: not all gonna be gold. I'm trying, but like, at

1240
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: least y'all understand if you got eighty percent gold, like

1241
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: you can, you can work with me still, right, y'all coming.

1242
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 4: Back right and like and like For me, it's a

1243
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 4: running joke, like when we do puns. My puns are

1244
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 4: bad and I don't follow any of the pun bruise,

1245
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 4: But it's the attempt of the.

1246
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 3: Puns that matter.

1247
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 4: My plans are terrible, and they they be egging me,

1248
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 4: and I'd be like.

1249
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: Y'all know these puns ain't good.

1250
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: Don't more like they're more like puns with quotes. But yes,

1251
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: it's the thing I mean, But that's the thing that's

1252
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: the investment. And I think what a lot of artists mistake,

1253
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot of creatives mistake, is they think the social

1254
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: media platform people are the investment, like they think, oh,

1255
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: they'll they're invested in me by hitting and follow. No,

1256
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: that's the easiest thing anyone can do an undo in

1257
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: a second, Like it don't matter to them your content.

1258
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: They're really there for Twitter or Facebook or that experience

1259
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: is what they're there for. They're not just because you're

1260
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: one part of experience. Those people that this is not

1261
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: a knock on them. It's been a long time, so

1262
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: hopefully no one's getting offended. But I remember there was

1263
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 1: a conference for nerves called Universal fan Con and Black

1264
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: Girl Nerves is like really big in that and they

1265
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: were like, and the way they did the valuation of

1266
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: if the attendance was by their Twitter followers, and they

1267
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: were like, they did sell enough tickets. It's like, yeah,

1268
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: a Twitter follow is free and easy. A ticket and

1269
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: a flight and a hotel hall that's a much bigger deal,

1270
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: much bigger deal. It's hard to get people to go

1271
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: from Twitter to Patreon. It's a big deal.

1272
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: Listen, I agree wholeheartedly. I learned that lesson.

1273
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 5: That's why I say my Patreon is my if the

1274
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 5: keemos and I'm not saying it is sports on this

1275
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 5: way but if the Kemo stage app fails, the Patreon

1276
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 5: is still gonna be there, and people who only had

1277
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 5: one or the other probably gonna come back to the

1278
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 5: Patreon because that's that's the home base of everything, right,

1279
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 5: and that's what launches everything. But this happened with Coiler

1280
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 5: Ray like she has everything a labeled person should have.

1281
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 2: She had followers, she had.

1282
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 5: Features, and her album didn't sell and somebody wrote her

1283
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 5: I think it was Dan Runsey wrote an article about it.

1284
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it was him, but I think

1285
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 5: it was about how clicking like takes nothing from you, right,

1286
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 5: It's literally no, there's no that. Yeah, it's a terrible

1287
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,840

1288
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,120

1311
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm giving you two examples.

1312
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 5: Remember towards the end of last year, somebody I followed

1313
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 5: was blasting everybody for traveling internationally.

1314
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 2: And I was international at the time, so I was.

1315
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 5: I took a certain offense too, because I did my

1316
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 5: COVID test, I did my stuff. I'm like, look, man,

1317
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 5: I need a vacation. I've been working for ten months straight.

1318
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 5: I'm going to Egypt. Three weeks later, that same person

1319
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 5: was traveling international.

1320
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: You just spent the whole holiday season, killing people for

1321
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 2: traveling internationally, and now you was international.

1322
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 3: Yep, because they are excepting to the rules.

1323
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that rules for y'all.

1324
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 5: And the other thing is I sat up here, and

1325
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 5: I sit up here and I get on the Kardashians,

1326
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 5: Kardashians for for this and that and this and that,

1327
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 5: and I blast them and this and this hair when.

1328
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 2: I tell you I've seen every episode of their new

1329
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: show on Hulu.

01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 4: So it's you because I had this, dear ass, because

1331
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 4: I tell people it makes no sense, and people.

1332
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 3: Want to argue to argument Roger down about them.

1333
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 4: I was like, people claimed that they are the worst

1334
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 4: thing ever, but they know every episode every shows like

1335
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 4: y'all are watching the thing that you claim that you

1336
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 4: hate the most.

1337
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: They gotta be because.

1338
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 5: And I never watched them before, but my wife, you know,

1339
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 5: you need entertainment.

1340
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 2: Her sister loves reality TV. She was like, this version,

1341
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 2: they're not as unlikable as they usually are.

1342
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 5: They let go the drama person and they're focusing on

1343
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 5: the business aspect and how they respond to social media.

1344
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Now, I was like, man, it ain't watching no Kardashians.

1345
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 5: As things happen with my wife and a lot of

1346
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 5: reality shows. I come downstairs to get my ice cream.

1347
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 5: I'm just checking out what she's watching.

1348
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: And then you know you're sitting Yes, well it's well,

1349
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: it's a couple of things there. One reality show is

1350
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: reality TV is great for people because it gives us

1351
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: a place to judge people, because we've denied ourselves judgment

1352
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: in so many other ways, like like we like we

1353
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: all like to be like I'm above judging. Okay, listen,

1354
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm a prison abolitionist. I practice forgiveness. And then you

1355
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: be on then you be watching reality TV, like look

1356
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: at this dumb ass. Look you deserve to be cheated on.

1357
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: That's how stupid you want go to jail?

1358
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 3: Like, but you a prison abolitionist.

1359
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta get that roaman whatever out, like whatever

1360
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: they had in the coliseum, Like you know, that's that's

1361
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: in humanity.

1362
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 2: I have a joke about this on stage.

1363
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 5: I watch Hoarders when my house is dirty to remind

1364
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 5: myself my house is not that y Yes, clear, but

1365
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 5: maybe I'm big.

1366
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm seventy, but I'm.

1367
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: Not life right, That's what I was. And then we.

1368
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 5: Apparch with which to look down our glasses on and

1369
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 5: reality TV and that actually goes back to Twitter. But

1370
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 5: my mentality is you you want to get on somebody

1371
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 5: for something, right, like Liz just got I was supposed

1372
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 5: talk about the podcast today.

1373
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 2: Lizzo.

1374
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 5: She they got on her for an able to slur

1375
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 5: in her most song and she removed it. The word

1376
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 5: was fast and she they went after her. And I

1377
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 5: mean just some people were kind of like calm, but

1378
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 5: most people that I saw in the article were going

1379
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 5: after her because in their community, they all knew this.

1380
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: But it never crosses people's minds. You might not know that.

1381
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 5: I didn't know, wasn't able to Liz got dragged, right,

1382
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 5: I didn't know, And but people were like, I've written

1383
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 5: about this extensively.

1384
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: Do you think Lizzo has read your writing?

1385
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: My favorite thing, my favorite thing back in the day

1386
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: before social media took off, was the open letter online

1387
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: towards celebrity. It was like, open letter to Beyonce, Beyonce,

1388
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: don't read your medium dot com? What's wrong with you?

1389
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: That's the most like, you know, how narcissistic you have

1390
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: to That's like if we did the podcast expecting Lizo

1391
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to respond like, no, we just talked about it, but

1392
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: I expect her to be living her life being great somewhere.

1393
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: The second thing I was gonna say too, is like

1394
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the people that hate stuff be the ones that keep

1395
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: up with it the most, which is that's the most

1396
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: ironic part because I remember when we would talk about

1397
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the car dashes. Neither of us watch the show, so

1398
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: we only see when something goes viral and stuff, and

1399
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: normally we only talk about the silly stuff. Right, So,

1400
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: like I remember one time she took the baby Northwest

1401
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 1: to Kanye West's fashion show, and as babies are wont

1402
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: to do, the baby started crying. She got up, took

1403
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the baby to the back or whatever. People was like,

1404
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: this is abuse. How dare she take this baby? You

1405
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: know what's gonna be loud.

1406
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 3: And all this stuff.

1407
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: And it was like, y'all babies cry. They all babies

1408
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: cry like you ain't ver been on a restaurant, You

1409
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: ain't ever been on a plane, a movie theater. Baby,

1410
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: this is the general agreement we have in society. Baby's

1411
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna cry, and we all have to be a dose

1412
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: about it. Like they make the i'm sorry face, So

1413
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry by being a baby, and you make the

1414
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: it's all right, it's a baby and then they go

1415
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: do whatever you do to make babies stop crying. These people,

1416
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: it was like a whole week of people writing in

1417
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: our show like y'all can't see this. I'm like, oh,

1418
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: And then they would be like this is when I

1419
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: realize the fans. They would be like cause in the

1420
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: episode three, season four, she had she had a friend babysitting,

1421
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, you a fan, Yes, you a

1422
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: hate watching fan. Okay, that's different. That's different.

1423
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 5: And that's the other thing about Twitter that I hesitated

1424
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 5: to say, but I don't see it. So many words

1425
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 5: that I've learned are applied to every situation that I

1426
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 5: feel like they lose their intensity.

1427
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 2: M hm.

1428
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 5: Like abuse is abuse? I've heard it used where in

1429
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 5: so many places?

1430
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Where is it? It's not applied that.

1431
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:22,520
Speaker 5: It's like a salt that's not salty anymore. Narcissism, gaslighting,

1432
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 5: toxic violence.

1433
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 2: Somebody can just say I don't like something.

1434
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 4: What happened to that? What happened to just being like

1435
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't know if it's people

1436
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 4: of a certain age. And and like I said, sometimes

1437
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm the old black woman screaming at

1438
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 4: the clouds. Because I'm like, y'all niggas, just say you

1439
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 4: don't like the ship so we can skip this back

1440
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 4: and forth and agreeing.

1441
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: Online why you don't like it.

1442
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 3: Just admit you don't like it.

1443
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 2: It attacks new song and listen.

1444
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 5: All I said was I didn't grow up listening to

1445
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 5: house music, so it doesn't really appeal to me.

1446
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 2: I can't even really properly judge it because I don't

1447
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: listen to house music. I don't know if it's good

1448
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 2: or not because I don't listen to it. But you

1449
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: won't see me Beyonce, this is trash, and listen to

1450
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 2: Drake that much easier.

1451
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 5: So when I heard it was mostly a house album,

1452
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't really rock the house like that.

1453
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 5: And yeah, I come to find out where house music

1454
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 5: originated from. I wasn't a target. It wasn't created for me.

1455
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 5: It wasn't used by people like me, so I was like, oh,

1456
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 5: that's probably why.

1457
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 2: But then I go on, I go take my son

1458
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 2: to school. I don't sit up here and write art.

1459
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: The violence, the violence of the Drake album and misogyny

1460
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: just okay, And honestly, man, I gotta.

1461
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 2: Be everything because it means if everything is always that

1462
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 2: then nothing is that right too much to because then

1463
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 2: you forget when it's really really violent, some people really

1464
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 2: really have at you getting your feelings hurt.

1465
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 5: It's not the same as somebody really having abuse and

1466
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,879
Speaker 5: really be like actual violence happens.

1467
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 4: It's like the boy who Cried Wolf, and a lot

1468
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 4: of people fail to realize. Twitter constantly cries wolf all

1469
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 4: the time and everything.

1470
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 3: And my thing is, you know where every situation is

1471
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 3: not a ten, y'all.

1472
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a two one, it might even be a five.

1473
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 4: But anytime something happened, it doesn't mean bring me along.

1474
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Well, it's also like, and I bring this work up

1475
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot, but it really did change my life. Conflict

1476
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: is Not Abused by Sarah Shulman. It just taught me

1477
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: so much about the dynamics I was watching online where

1478
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like to get to the top of

1479
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the group, you need to be the most aggrieved, you know,

1480
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and so so then like you don't feel like people

1481
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: will listen to you unless you're like I tried to

1482
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast, but the violence leaped out at

1483
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: me and attacked me on and it's like, well, then

1484
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: everyone gives you the mic, right everyone has to like

1485
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: cause you're the most traumatized. And the value system is

1486
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: the person that's the most traumatized has to be the

1487
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 1: person that is most listened to. And so you would

1488
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: have people that embellished and overstate harm on purpose, because

1489
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: we're now rewarding that people are only human like. And

1490
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: so you can literally have somebody who's you know, in

1491
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: the terms of abuse that we know, like this person

1492
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 1: was physically abused, and we'll go, yeah, but I was

1493
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 1: triggered by talking about it, so like I feel like

1494
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: I should be the one to tell you what to do.

1495
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: So it's like, you have to watch that. And once

1496
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: I saw that, it just changed the way I looked

1497
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: at stuff we got. Also, the other thing I was

1498
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: gonna say too, my favorite pastime now is listening to

1499
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: people who did get dragged or get canceled. On the

1500
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: other side, the other side is because people having changed,

1501
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: because before you, before you get dragged, you think everything

1502
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: is fair out here. You're like, oh, I can't, I

1503
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: can say, I don't know why they keep coming after

1504
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: it's because he ain't a.

1505
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 4: Good person and carrying the torch all the time, setting

1506
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 4: all the houses on fire, your house getting caught on fire.

1507
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 3: You'd been like, where's the water caught the fire department,

1508
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 3: and then.

1509
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: You cut like you post like a picture of your

1510
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: son a graduation, and now you're getting dragged.

1511
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 3: You'd be like, this ain't really, this ain't fair.

1512
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 1: No, I didn't even do know.

1513
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 3: And maybe it's just me.

1514
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 4: I had a good time. I was like, oh that

1515
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 4: baby look like, hey, I don't want to be there. And

1516
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 4: that's as far as it.

1517
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 3: Went to me.

1518
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 5: When I after I got dragged, the world was crystal clear.

1519
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 2: Clouds. I mean it was cool.

1520
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 5: I mean they was coming from me on platforms where

1521
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 5: the thing didn't even happen.

1522
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's big. When it started jumping platforms, I.

1523
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 2: Thought maybe I just won't go on Twitter, surely.

1524
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 3: On Facebook, on Instagram.

1525
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, I.

1526
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 2: Did everything but come to my house.

1527
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 5: It changed my mind there, and then I also had

1528
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 5: more grace for people who because you can grant because

1529
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 5: I got dragged for some stuff where I handled stuff

1530
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 5: in my mind with the best of intentions, right with

1531
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 5: the information I had, and also with information that the

1532
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 5: Internet doesn't have, Like when I'm making decisions, there's something

1533
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 5: you don't know about that I'm not making public on

1534
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 5: purpose that factors into my decision making. You don't know,

1535
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 5: so I figure. I mean, I remember, boy, we was

1536
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 5: in Saint Lucia and I got dragged the last day

1537
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 5: of my vacation in this especially that hotel they managed

1538
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 5: to ruin.

1539
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: Now, oh wow, and that's what they want.

1540
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 5: And I was this was a guilty by association thing,

1541
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 5: something that happened years ago.

1542
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:44,959
Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't know either, but I didn't.

1543
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 5: Know so but then I realized it's it's almost like

1544
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 5: when you're the topic or one of the top because

1545
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 5: I never even been the main topic. But it's almost

1546
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 5: insatiable until you respond or do something, or until you

1547
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 5: are committed to never responding.

1548
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 2: It will not stop. Ran will not and it grows

1549
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 2: like the more you.

1550
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 4: Ignore it just rose rose because and now you're hoping

1551
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 4: that wants to be acknowledged.

1552
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: And now you're hoping Jada Pinkett gone cheat on Will

1553
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Smith because it's the only way out, like you don't

1554
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: want to wish nothing bad on their marriage, but just

1555
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: like I need a way out, I didn't. I don't

1556
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: want to be here. I just want to enjoy my vacation.

1557
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: Can one of y'all can when of y'all slap Chris

1558
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Rock or something like sneeze from relief.

1559
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. And this is why I

1560
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,440
Speaker 2: often ignore things, because what feels like big when you respawn,

1561
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 2: then you get on what happened gap.

1562
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 5: There's a whole slew people who had no idea this

1563
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 5: even happened, nor existent or would ever have even no right.

1564
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 5: And your apology video or your acknowledgement now brings a

1565
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 5: whole new group of.

1566
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: People that it's the straza in effect another thing you

1567
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: brought up on your podcast. Here's the thing I want

1587
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 5: a creator. This is creative for your entertainment. When this,

1588
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 5: when I do this, I go home to her for risk, right.

1589
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 5: I don't want to be right with y'all and wrong

1590
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 5: with her. Right with y'all at my expense at home?

1591
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 5: You know how many hours I spend man podcasts. Very

1592
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,679

01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: Have a traditional job. We be in the house together.

1594
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be up in there with bad energy,

1595
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 2: so y'all can say I was right.

1596
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Come on, Like I was taking I was taking my

1597
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: nap today and I heard Karen come in the room

1598
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: and I hadn't cooked yet, and I was like, oh, no,

1599
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: is this gonna am? I don't get beaten? Is what's

1600
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:22,759
Speaker 1: gonna happen?

1601
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 2: Now?

1602
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Imagine if we had been arguing on the podcast. Now,

1603
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 1: I'm definitely getting stabbed in the chest. I don't want

1604
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: to deal with that.

1605
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 4: And the thing is we already don't do the traditional

1606
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 4: things because it's and I think sometimes people come at

1607
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 4: you with their own agendas. Because the thing is me

1608
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 4: and Roger we we don't believe in roles in the house,

1609
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 4: you know, because Roderick Actually when I worked outside of

1610
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 4: the house, Roger did a lot of the cooking, a

1611
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 4: lot of the cleaning, a lot, you know, a lot

1612
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 4: of washing clothes and things like that.

1613
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 3: And that's what people that's what people say. I was like, no, baby,

1614
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 3: I was like, guess what.

1615

Speaker 4: We make money. You know. It's one of the things,

1617

Speaker 4: you know, what all goes in the same pot, right, Yeah.

1618
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 2: And people cannot fathom that.

1619
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 5: If it doesn't make sense to them, it cannot make

1620
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 5: sense for you. Right in your household, y'all dynamic works.

1621
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 2: And guess what, that's the only household it has to

1622
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 2: work like that.

1623

Speaker 1: In Bingo.

1624
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 2: I remember when I was young and married, this wasn't

1625
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 2: even social media.

1626
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 5: I remember I was terrible about bills. I would forget,

1627
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 5: I would input the wrong account numbers. Me and Melissa

1628
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 5: got married. Somehow when we got together, it was more

1629
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 5: bills than I could account for. I was good with

1630
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 5: my bills, but her bills plus the house bills.

1631
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,600
Speaker 2: It was too many bills. And I remember I was

1632
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 2: telling one of the decons at the church.

1633
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 5: I was like, and Melissa took over the bills a

1634
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 5: couple months ago and it has been great ever since.

1635
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 2: He was like, you ain't no real man, A real man.

1636
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 5: I said, A real man. My real man is the

1637
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 5: one whose bills are paid on time.

1638
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 3: It don't matter if on time and the.

Speaker 5: She is better at and it didn't matter to me.

1641
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 5: I really just need to apply that to social media,

1642
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 5: and I learned to do that. But it's like people

1643
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 5: see the world through their eyes. And also the other

1644
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 5: thing is everybody knows what they would do in your situation,

1645
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 5: which is a situation they have and likely never will.

1646
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 5: People people think you should see things differently just because

1647
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 5: I have a lot of followers, because I make people.

1648

1651
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 5: You should understand the dynamics of this culture.

1652
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 2: That no right and really understand that I just be silly.

Speaker 5: was clutched, he would have shot it.

1688

01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: I don't have to say nothing to this person. They're crazy. Uh,

1710
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: here's another question, cav Where is your keep your distance?

1711
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: Where is our keeper distance? Merch? We had a deal?

1712
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: Oh this is turn this This sou like a.

1713
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 3: Person, like a person that fired personal attack.

1714
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,799
Speaker 1: Apparently James came with all the smoke.

1715
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 4: Here.

1716
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 2: Here here's the thing.

1717
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a longer answer than you think,

1718
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna share the whole reason. At this stage

1719
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 5: of my career, I haven't found a merch provider that

1720
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 5: can adequately serve my audience at a quality that I

1721
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 5: want in the right time. When my audience really likes

1722
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 5: a shirt, they.

1723
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 2: Will overwhelm people who don't do it at like a

1724
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 2: top level. I've tried drop shippers and things like that

1725
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 2: they have. They're usually their quality is just low.

1726
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 5: They just make bad stuff that shrinks, and I feel guilty,

1727
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 5: even if the shirts are cheap, I feel guilty for

1728
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 5: selling terrible things. So the problem is, and me and

1729
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 5: Milissa have been working diligently to find a merg provider,

1730
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 5: and most people are like, how many do you do it?

1731
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, it could be like one hundred, two

1732
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 5: hundred a month, but then sometimes it could be like

1733
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 5: three thousand shirts and they're like, oh, I can't.

1734
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Do no three thousand sh are you crazy? I don't know.

1735
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 5: Wait what And what happens is the person I was

1736
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 5: using last time they make a couple of mistakes. One

1737
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 5: time he made an egregious mistake and had like hundreds

1738
01:22:59,240 --> 01:22:59,799
Speaker 5: of orders.

1739
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, maybe even thousand.

1740
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 5: And what ends up happening is Melissa ends up having

1741
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 5: to personally handle the returns and.

1742
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 2: Refunds, and she's already busy. So I don't want.

1743
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 5: To put that onto her, and I don't want to

1744
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 5: just throw up something bad. So the answer is, I'm

1745
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 5: looking into a merch provider that will allow us the lulls,

1746
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 5: but also if we go crazy, they can handle it

1747
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 5: and also do that at a price that makes sense

1748
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 5: because some of these people they can do that, but

1749
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 5: then they're paying you, like a dollar or two for sure,

1750
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I want to do that much work,

1751
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 5: but also a dollar or two.

1752
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's the answer, Like I don't want to

1753
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 2: mess it up for Melissa, and.

1754
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 5: I don't want to have a whole bunch of returns,

1755
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 5: and I can't risk a mad amount of things, and

1756
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 5: I can because of Amazon. Most people who don't sell

1757
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 5: merch at a lot of levels don't realize this. The

1758
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 5: even psyche accepts what happens most of the time is

1759
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 5: what should happen all the time. So order on Amazon

1760
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 5: consistently and comes in a day or two, consistently and consistently.

1761
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 5: You forget that companies like mine, we don't have the power.

1762
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 5: You know how many people it takes to make sure

1763
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 5: you get something in the.

1764
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 2: Next day or the like, it's one hundreds of people.

1765
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 5: There's one hundred thousands of people, billions millions of dollars

1766
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 5: of infrastructure, planes, trains, automobiles, people getting paid.

1767
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:26,680
Speaker 2: Nothing time practice on Tuesday. My thing is like a

1768
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 2: guy plus four people. They don't have that, and it's

1769
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 2: gonna take likely seven to ten to fourteen days to ship.

1770
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 5: Yes, so people start emailing where's my shirt? Where's my shirt?

1771
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 5: And you tell them in the email, you tell them

1772
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 5: the confirmation. If we not Amazon, we little blacks. He

1773
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 5: is little black people. We are small so Amazon. It's

1774
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 5: same thing with the Camo State Studios app. You're you're

1775
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 5: used to Netflix, which they have billions of dollars, they

1776
01:24:57,920 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 5: have hundreds.

1777
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 2: Of thousands of hours of of all types. We got

1778
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 2: to make a show, edit it, make it edit. We

1779
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 2: don't have these people they have. We don't. We're not competing.

1780
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 5: But you see an app on your phone, can say

1781
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 5: Studios is right next to Netflix. People expect you to

1782
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 5: be just like them. I got to remind people we

1783
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 5: are not the same. Lost two hundred thousand subscribers and

1784
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 5: that was their worst month. If we gained a tenth

1785
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,480
Speaker 5: of that, it would be the best month we ever had.

1786
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: And that was the first loss they ever had, like

1787
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: the first loss ever and fired everybody. By the way,

1788
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: just every two hundred million fired everybody that was like, like,

1789
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: we have messed the business up, and it was like,

1790
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: that's your first out.

1791
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 2: Her sister got let go from that.

1792
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, that layoff and there's more supposed to be coming

1793
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 5: this Friday, Like wow, you know, so we That's why

1794
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 5: I haven't told merch this year because last year I

1795
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 5: had a shirt that went crazy and sold and it

1796
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 5: was like throwing a rich in the process, and it was.

1797
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: Just yeah, we've we've done stuff like that in the past.

1798
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you know, be cool. We got a

1799
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: bunch of posters left over from our live events, so

1800
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: we can like give people posters and stuff.

1801
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 4: Man.

1802
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 1: I was going to the post office every day, multiple

1803
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: times in the day, and I was like this was

1804
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 1: my heart was in the right place. But boy, let

1805
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 1: me tell you, it was a few days. I was like,

1806
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: they might not go. I don't want to be Sean King,

1807
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: but they the crowd.

1808
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 2: My brother in law used to run. He came to me,

1809
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 2: he was like, cav, I can't do it.

1810
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 5: I was going to the post office on my lunch

1811
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 5: every day at all, and then your job start looking

1812
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 5: at you crazy, Like then why you always got these

1813
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 5: big boxes don't worry. Is the thing about merchants, it

1814
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 5: really deserves to be its own line of business that

1815
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 5: you can focus on.

1816
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 2: And in order for working, I almost need to hire

1817
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 2: somebody focus.

1818
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 3: That's the whole job, and it's not my main thing.

1819
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 2: So I can't afford to.

1820
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 5: I really can't afford to be good at everything, and

1821
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 5: I'm not good at everything. So merchan is like, when

1822
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 5: I'm on tour next year, I will focus because I

1823
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 5: have to take.

1824
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 2: Merch on the road, so I'll put the But since I'm.

1825
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 5: Not on tour, I'm like, let me take a year

1826
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 5: off of that because that is a it's a supreme headache.

1827
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel you. I don't blame you at all.

1828
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 3: We outsource that stuff. I was like, no, we're not

1829
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 3: selling stuff here.

1830
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. Yeah, but when you want to be

1831
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: hands on app quality, that's what it is. Someone said,

1832
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: will you put your keep your distance shows on your

1833
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: KOs app Camel Stage app? And then someone answered it

1834
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,560
Speaker 1: in the comments, which this is new to me. I

1835
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: didn't know you could do this. Someone said, he's already

1836
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: been doing that. He's at least the old sets there

1837
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: and the comedians have been released to some of their

1838
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: sets on the YouTube pages. I've seen segments for specific comedians,

1839
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: but not.

1840
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 3: A full I got it.

1841
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,759
Speaker 1: They own it in the chat. Okay, so that's an answer.

1842
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,839
Speaker 5: We do release them on the app, to be quite honest,

1843
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 5: because the keeper distance audience is regulars and it's mostly

1844
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 5: stage crew and Patreon and people who love that show

1845
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 5: when we put it on the app. First of all,

1846
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 5: so in order for it to put on the app,

1847
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 5: we have to pay. We have to pay somebody to

1848
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,760
Speaker 5: edit it, posted captions. It takes man hours in resources

1849
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 5: to put it up, even if it's something that was

1850
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 5: pre cut. Even just to take it down, re edit it,

1851
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 5: shine it up, and do sound put it up takes resources.

1852
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 5: The bottom line is people do not watch them sets

1853
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 5: on the app hardly at all, and the main reason

1854
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 5: is because the people who watched them already saw them

1855
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 5: when they bought a ticket, so they remember. So the

1856
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 5: views were low and we have an again app has.

1857
01:28:51,800 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 2: A very small team for five full time employer that

1858
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 2: do all of that.

1859
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 5: I'm talking about production editings five. So we kind of

1860
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 5: got to make business decisions of like do we edit

1861
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 5: this new show that you haven't seen, or go back

1862
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 5: and edit the cty that you probably have seen that will.

1863
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 2: Feel a slot that people won't watch because you know

1864
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 2: you want to do it.

1865
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 5: And we've also haven't been doing Keep Your Distance as regularly.

1866
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:21,680
Speaker 5: It's been once a month as opposed to once every

1867
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 5: other month. But yeah, we feel like it works better

1868
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 5: as a live show and we will put them up

1869
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 5: there eventually, but we're working on other stuff that the

1870
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 5: people are basically keeping their head above water editing and

1871
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 5: making sure that stuff goes up right or put we

1872
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 5: have to.

1873
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: Put the manpower into the stuff that people watch or that.

1874
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: And then I love what you said too about people's

1875
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,160
Speaker 1: expectations because that's the thing I talk about with the

1876
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 1: show that we have where it's like, as much as

1877
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I love our fans, it is a product and I

1878
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: have to treat it that way as such because if not,

1879
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: people become and you see it happening a time where

1880
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: creators become too in love with like they just love

1881
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: me for me, Okay, I'm just they they love to

1882
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 1: see your boys shine and it's like you ain't put

1883
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 1: out no product in a month. I'm moving on, you know,

1884
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,759
Speaker 1: like like I love you, but I do need something

1885
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: for the love you know, and I think that's what

1886
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 1: I always think about. Like when it comes to customer

1887
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: service stuff, people email, they're emailing me.

1888
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 4: It's the customer service man. He the customer service. He

1889
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 4: the I like he do. He does it all and

1890
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 4: they be emailing like three am in the morning. He

1891
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 4: be responding back and jit so.

1892
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:42,799
Speaker 1: Like like it's interesting because like right to me, I'm thinking,

1893
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 1: like I like, even when someone hits us up on

1894
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 1: a person where they're like, hey, man, such and such

1895
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: as a worker for me, man, but I hope you're

1896
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,600
Speaker 1: doing well blah blah blah, I still treat it like

1897
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 1: I working at Spectrum, you know, like I don't send

1898
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 1: no like what's up? My g don't even worry about

1899
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: a tripping because you would kill AT and T if

1900
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: they hit you up, like, oh, what's up?

1901
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 3: Player?

1902
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 1: You know how what we do?

1903
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 3: Professional speak to your manager saying soup just reheated?

1904
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 1: You know how pimp do. Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead reset.

1905
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead.

1906
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,639
Speaker 1: Reset that password for your player. You know what I'm saying.

1907
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: Keep your head like noah, I send it back like, uh,

1908
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the system is currently under I'll send it back.

1909
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 3: We worked there coping America. So we know how to

1910
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 3: structure the emails.

1911
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: Because there is an expectation. And I've also seen the

1912
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: downside of that, where you see somebody that's sold in

1913
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: their circle of people, their silo. They'll post interactions with

1914
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 1: customers like screenshots, and you'll be reading like, but you're

1915
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 1: the one that's wrong, Like it's like you know.

1916
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 4: You customer service right, And I'm like, if I was

1917
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 4: considering doing business with you, I am not.

1918
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Like, so on and email them like, hey, so my

1919
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: cake was supposed to be here on Saturday and now

1920
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:59,800
Speaker 1: you missed the birthday and it's Monday. I like a refund. Well,

1921
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 1: first of all, you know my mom is in the hospital.

1922
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, I'm not sure why you shared

1923
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: that with everyone, but that you should have just refunded

1924
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: them and went about your business. But good luck, good

1925
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 1: luck to you. This one says. MS. Bond says, not

1926
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 1: a question, But I love the food show on your app.

1927
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 1: You are helping me in my restaurant bucket list.

1928
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what's good. We didn't shoot that this year.

1929
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 5: I tried to, but I greatly underestimated how expensive that

1930
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 5: show was and how much it was subsidized by me

1931
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 5: already being on tour. I'm sorry to hear, Angel and Josh,

1932
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 5: so we basically had we had all three of the

1933
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 5: talent and one of the camera people, their.

1934
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 2: Flights and hotels covered by the tour, so.

1935
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 5: The app only had to cover the production staff right right,

1936
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 5: But one of the directors shot of camera.

1937
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 2: We brought another camera.

1938
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,440
Speaker 5: Operator and a producer, and we hired a local PA,

1939
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 5: so we were able to basically Jimmy rick it. But

1940
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 5: when you and and flights, y'all see flight prices this year,

1941
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 5: to buy eight flights and in all the hotels with

1942
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 5: no stand up comedy show to subsidize it, the app

1943
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 5: could not bear that that heavy of a cost without it.

1944
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 5: So I was like, that's again a hard decision I

1945
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 5: had to make because I really wanted to make that show.

1946
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to like suffer quality and put it.

1947
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 2: In LA and stuff.

1948
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 5: So it's just like when I go on tour again,

1949
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 5: I'll try and do it, but it's like, these are

1950
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 5: the decisions I have to make because I want the

1951
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 5: app to survive as a whole. Sometimes I can't make

1952
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 5: a show I want to make because it's just wild

1953
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 5: now that show was that expensive, but thousands of people

1954
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 5: came to watch that show.

1955
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 2: Only Okay, now you can justify it.

1956
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,679
Speaker 5: But you had some followers, but not enough to justify

1957
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 5: that price tag on its own.

1958
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 2: Hope to be able to make it again.

1959
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 1: But I definitely, I definitely understand that. Man Like and

1960
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: then like, yeah, with the whole pandemic thing, it's like

1961
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:10,599
Speaker 1: some people just out here like it's not a pandemic

1962
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: some people. So you got different venues, you got different people,

1963
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: you got all kinds of risk and stuff associated with it.

1964
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 4: And them executive decisions are different, you know, because a

1965
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 4: lot of times Roger is the person like thinking about

1966
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 4: how much work it is, how much it's gonna cost,

1967
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 4: and I'm the person going, we can do anything.

1968
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 3: He was like, we can't do anything.

1969
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 4: Come come out, let let's bless Let's calm it down

1970
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 4: a little bit. I'd be like, I'll be like, I'll

1971
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 4: be like, let's let's go on the road.

1972
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 3: Let's be like, you know, it's still the coronavirus out there.

1973
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 3: I'll be like, but that can wear mask. And he

1974
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, but calming down, baby, And.

1975
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,600
Speaker 2: That's the thing too, like with the app. But I

1976
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 2: think and I'm not blaming them, just speaking honestly. People

1977
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 2: don't necessarily understand that the app funds the people who

1978
01:34:58,240 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 2: work for the app.

1979
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 5: Right, Oh, if somebody wants a raise, or somebody goes

1980
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 5: on maternity league, or if somebody quits or somebody has

1981
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 5: to be fired, if that show is not succeeding, we.

1982
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 2: Gotta go and hey man, and we don't want to

1983
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 2: be laying people off.

1984
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,560
Speaker 5: So we always try to manage what we can do

1985
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 5: and we have to make that. So that's why we

1986
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 5: keep the teams from because we'll have really busy seasons,

1987
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:20,680
Speaker 5: but then towards the end of the year we'll have

1988
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 5: really light season, But we don't want to fire people

1989
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:27,600
Speaker 5: because basically October through January it's very light in Hollywood

1990
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 5: in general. It's just like, you know, you just don't

1991
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 5: really want to do nothing through then, but I don't

1992
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 5: want to fire people. So you got to think about

1993
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 5: the production budget versus the content budget versus we just

1994
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 5: gave people who work for us benefits them.

1995
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 2: Is not free. That is not.

1996
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 1: Is gonna keep costs keep going whether you put out

1997
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 1: something or not.

1998
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 2: People it only go.

1999
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 5: People always ask for raises when you replace people the

2000
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 5: next person always asks for more people that you hire

2001
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 5: camera like production crew.

2002
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,560
Speaker 2: They always want more, and then gas.

2003
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Gas costs a lot. I got some gas. I filled

2004
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 1: up my tank today. I took out a small loan.

2005
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: It was I mean, I thank god my credit came

2006

Speaker 2: are having.

2032
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 5: It went from here when from four thirty to it's

2033
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:36,560
Speaker 5: now six point fifty.

2034
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 1: Right, And it's all around the world, like everywhere people

2035
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: be posting pictures from France and you. And first you know,

2036
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 1: you're because you're American and you don't know how to

2037
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: do all that math. So first you'd be like, ooh,

2038
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: one thirteen, boy, they must have did the right. They

2039
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, it's one thirteen whatever that currency exchange

2040
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: the balloons or whatever they use, and the like, you

2041
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 1: got to you got to you gotta multiply that by

2042
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: this and then subtract this. And they don't use gallons,

2043
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: they use leaders, and it's like, oh, it's seven dollars

2044
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 1: and sixty six cents. Oh well, no, I can't afford

2045
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: that either.

2046
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 2: They aren't forcing me into an electric cardinal. That's for

2047
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 2: sure what they're saying.

2048
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,760
Speaker 4: They said it's about to jump. They say cause people

2049
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 4: said they tie these gases.

2050
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: That's when they're gonna mess up. They're gonna mess around

2051
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,480
Speaker 1: to start charging more for electricity.

2052
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:28,560
Speaker 2: That's I promise you. I was about to say, America

2053
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:31,080
Speaker 2: now electrics.

2054
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 1: Right, They're gonna be like, get that money from us

2055

2060
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 1: That's listen, you're gonna be in trouble.

2061
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:48,479
Speaker 3: Dog.

2062
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying to plug up everywhere. They got

2063
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: free outlets.

2064
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 4: And the thing is for people that're wrinten and things

2065
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:55,680
Speaker 4: like that, that you're gonna walk out there and all

2066
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna see is like written charge of stations.

2067
01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 3: In the parking lot.

2068
01:38:58,360 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 4: Because you know, at a house you could just plug

2069
01:38:59,920 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 4: it up, But when people have an apartment, where'd.

2070
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 3: You where, where's you gonna plug it up at?

2071
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 1: I gotta find a USB port from radio shack right

2072
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: with it is stitching call the last radio shack is

2073
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,240

Speaker 4: be but whiles.

2078
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: Yep, electricity is just gone. Man, we got two more questions.

2079
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: We'll wrap it up. Uh, I'm waiting for a churchy,

2080
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: do you have a date set?

2081
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 2: Ron t Man? Let me tell you what. Church is

2082
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 2: My first stab at a full on show for real dramedy.

2083
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 2: We are shooting for let me check in the first thing.

2084
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 5: The beginning first week in October, we are shooting for

2085
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 5: let me tell you what, though, I am learning through

2086
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 5: this process. It is three separate shows. That's the one

2087
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 5: you write, the one you shoot, and the when you edit.

2088
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 5: And they all have their own own process and.

2089
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 2: Their own timeline.

2090
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 3: Yep.

2091
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 5: And I'm realizing, like in my position, I don't have

2092
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 5: the luxury of like the real budget where they shoot

2093
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 5: like five or six pages a day. They shoot a

2094
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 5: scene before lunch and a scene after lunch, and we

2095
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 5: gotta use.

2096
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we got to get through some stuff.

2097
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 5: So it took a lot of time, and there's just

2098
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 5: you gotta be creative in that edit.

2099
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 2: Some shots we didn't get the way we want.

2100
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta recraft a story or it doesn't

2101
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,600
Speaker 5: land the way you want it. It's just the performance

2102
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 5: was off, you said the wrong like, so I'm like,

2103
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 5: I'm just on the pilot.

2104
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 2: Still.

2105
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 5: We've been on the pilot for a month, because the

2106
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 5: pilot is the most important episode, and outside had the

2107
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 5: most information the most. It's just so I would rather

2108
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 5: not say when it's coming out to make sure it's right.

2109
01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 5: My target is in the first week of Octo target day,

2110
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,559
Speaker 5: but I've not made no official announcement. Do not hold

2111
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 5: me to that because I don't want to release it

2112
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 5: until it's right, and I will take the time. But

2113
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 5: I'm very excited about that show. I have put an

2114
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 5: egregious amount of my personal resources into it. There's a

2115
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,799
Speaker 5: television commercial I shoot often that they are executive producer

2116
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 5: of Churchy, even whether they know it or not, because

2117
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 5: they financed that through the back door, even though they

2118
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 5: didn't they didn't know. I'm shooting another commercial in August

2119
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 5: to finance season two.

2120
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:39,719
Speaker 2: I'm the same show.

2121
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, man, I think listen, man, you have when

2122
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 5: you're your people like me, you just realized that, like

2123
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 5: this is why Hollywood is Hollywood, and people just give

2124
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 5: up because it's like it's nearly impossible to compete with

2125
01:41:56,439 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 5: them without their resources.

2126
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:00,240
Speaker 2: Like what I spend.

2127
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 5: On one season, they would triple for one episode and

2128
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 5: they might pick.

2129
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: That up night. Yep, we are not the same.

2130
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 5: It was like I am scrouching together pennies with duct

2131
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 5: taped gum, hair oil and sweat trying to make this

2132
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 5: and they will spend that money on a pilot, spend

2133
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 5: five six days shooting it and be like ah.

2134
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, just the stuff behind the scenes that you never see.

2135
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 1: For like Game Theory was blowing me away, like it's

2136
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: people will never see that. We was in an office

2137
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: in downtown Manhattan. I'm like, someone payd for this office

2138
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: space for us to be up in here and write

2139
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 1: the jokes and the amount of stuff we filmed that

2140
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 1: y'all won't get to see because something happened somewhere down

2141
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:50,519
Speaker 1: the line that just changed everything, or a news story

2142
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,759
Speaker 1: came up and they just thought that was more relevant

2143
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 1: than the thing we rode or the thing we shot already.

2144
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: Like and then when you get to the when you

2145
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 1: get to like budget considerations like that stuff we did.

2146
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: At the beginning. We was like, hey, listen, were blowing

2147
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: the budget on this one. Whatever we want, like doing it.

2148
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 1: But it's like, we get them so six it's gonna

2149
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: have to be a lot of edits, a lot a.

2150
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:17,719
Speaker 3: Lot of a lot of maneuver in the camera, a lot.

2151
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 1: Of found footage, if you know what I'm saying. Cause

2152
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 1: it was like it's getting tough.

2153
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 5: When I tell you I learned so much, I mean

2154
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 5: so much. I'm like, oh, we'll shoot episode here and

2155
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 5: then we'll drive the one thing I learned, I would

2156
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:37,760
Speaker 5: I and mind you.

2157
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 2: These two locations were free.

2158
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 5: We shot at my house one day and my soundstage

2159
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 5: the same day. Right, I'm like, oh, it's a fifteen

2160
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,559
Speaker 5: minute drive from my house. We'll be We will lose

2161
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 5: maybe thirty minutes moving the people there. When I tell

2162
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 5: you to move a whole production, it took three. It

2163
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 5: takes and it's not people being slow.

2164
01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:57,719
Speaker 2: Right.

2165
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,120
Speaker 5: First of all, you can't move until lunch because you

2166
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 5: have to feed the people. So if you finish early,

2167
01:44:02,640 --> 01:44:04,759
Speaker 5: you gotta wait till lunch or hav an early lunch.

2168
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 5: It takes three hours to set up because you gotta

2169
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:13,559
Speaker 5: break everything down. Yes, move it, set it up all

2170
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 5: over again, put the cameras back together, build the crafty tape, COVID,

2171
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:19,639
Speaker 5: all that stuff.

2172
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, and you you're doing narrative, so

2173
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 1: like you even have to build in like stuff like

2174
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: if we if we start in the morning and as

2175
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 1: a bright sunny day, but in the afternoon it's raining

2176
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 1: at the other location, what we're gonna do?

2177
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, now your day shot?

2178
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2179
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 5: You know how many days we lost whole day so

2180
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 5: you cannot light against a setting sun?

2181
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 2: Right, yep. Just there was days where we didn't have performance.

2182
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 5: A scene took longer to cover what was supposed to

2183
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 5: be shot outside the sun is now setting. We spent

2184
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 5: literally an hour and a half trying to get maybe

2185
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 5: ten minutes of the scene lit evenly. Yeah, and we

2186
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 5: were eventually like, we have to wait for the sun

2187
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 5: to go down because you cannot light against the sun

2188
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 5: that's changing every ten minutes, because then you cannot use

2189
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 5: the take you just.

2190
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 2: Used because it looks visibly darker than.

2191
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 1: It was and people don't care. They notice and.

2192
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 5: Don't care, and the people who are shooting it yeah,

2193
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 5: the thing I didn't account for the DP don't want

2194
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 5: to do that because it looks.

2195
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 3: Bad on him.

2196
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 5: Because finally set, finally sets, we get the scene lit

2197
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 5: and the mic frequencies get corrupted. I'm already paying for

2198
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 5: us to go into overtime to shoot this scene when

2199
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 5: it's fully dark, because it's more expensive to start a

2200
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 5: whole new shoot day than it is to go late.

2201
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 2: For an hour or two.

2202
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 5: I pay for the late the mill penalty. I gotta

2203
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 5: feed these people all over again. Then the sound goes out.

2204
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 5: Now I've lost the whole day. And this was on

2205
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 5: the day it was supposed to be hosting keep your distance,

2206
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 5: so I didn't. I mean, and this like, that's just

2207
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 5: one day. So now we got to get this scene.

2208
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 5: We gotta put this scene in a different place.

2209
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,679
Speaker 2: We got to. I mean, it's just stuff you would

2210
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 2: not know.

2211
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 1: There's gotta do it to know it, and you gotta

2212
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: mess up, and you gotta rely on the people, as

2213
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 1: you said, like your crewing people, because those people really

2214
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: be Like honestly, man, I learned so much from so

2215
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 1: many people during this season where it was just like

2216
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 1: I was just pulling people to like what do you

2217
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:30,559
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean, what's the line? Producer? Okay, cool?

2218
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: So how you know and that they would be like,

2219
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you want to know this. I'm like, cause

2220
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm writing, and I'm realizing now the more I know

2221
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 1: about other stuff, the better the writing can be. Because

2222
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,120
Speaker 1: in the beginning I'm writing stuff, I'm like, you know,

2223
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 1: they go do it. I'm like, why ain't turn out

2224
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: how I want it to turn out? And they be like,

2225
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 1: cause you gotta deal with this language. Even when you

2226
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 1: write stuff, like in your mind, you can like have

2227
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:56,200
Speaker 1: this perfect scenario and then you get there in real

2228
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: life and they're like, yeah, so the dude is actually

2229
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 1: five foot three, so everything changed just because of that.

2230
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:06,040
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what I'm talking about.

2231
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 5: When you are writing, you're writing for a room in theory,

2232
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:14,679
Speaker 5: bedroom in theory, a church in theory.

2233
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 2: When you actually book the place.

2234
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 5: There's a scene I shot where I had to kiss

2235
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 5: my co star, which is a whole story another day.

2236
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 2: The way most LA bedrooms are, they are so small.

2237
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 5: All you can really fit in there is a bed

2238
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 5: walking room, and then you got to realize that the

2239
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 5: bed and the walk space is just for a human

2240
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:37,679
Speaker 5: to exist.

2241
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 2: You need to put cameras in lights and production staff

2242
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 2: in there.

2243
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 5: Then you have another issue, and then you have the

2244
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 5: issue of when you put that stuff in there and

2245
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 5: you can't turn the AC on. Then the actors get hot,

2246
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 5: and now you're losing time because her makeup gotta get

2247
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 5: touched up.

2248
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,799
Speaker 2: I'm bald after every take they got to come.

2249
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,719
Speaker 5: In here and do this, and then the the blocking

2250
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 5: has to be set differently for this, and the camera

2251
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 5: can't fit and he turned to look like an inch

2252
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 5: two months this way.

2253
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 2: Yea, all the LA rooms have mirrors, so you I mean,

2254
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 2: it's just.

2255
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:14,599
Speaker 1: Like a A. You have a time there's a certain

2256
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 1: amount of time crunch. We had to film this sketch

2257
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 1: where my man Sidney Costello was reacting to certain things

2258
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: that he couldn't You can't see him. They're gonna put

2259
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 1: him in post. So it's almost like when you watch

2260
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 1: like Star Wars and they show you the behind the scenes.

2261
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: It's just somebody reacting to a green screen and he like,

2262
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:34,559
Speaker 1: oh that was just a tennis ball man. That acting

2263
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 1: is different acting is I see that there's a muscle

2264
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 1: now that I didn't respect. That I get now, So like.

2265
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:43,080
Speaker 5: Rob Let me tell you what acting, and then when

2266
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:46,720
Speaker 5: you break as a producer, they come and say, we're

2267
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,639
Speaker 5: about to be over. Do you want to go into

2268
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 5: a mel pennity or do you want to lose a day? Yep,

2269
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 5: the side real quick, actually think about it.

2270
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,400
Speaker 2: Shoot this table. We'll get your decision in a second. Yep,

2271
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 2: what doc.

2272
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: You had one where Sydney's doing in this sketch? And no, no,

2273
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, the rooms closed, everyone's quiet. We're in the

2274
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: studio and we're in the office, in our in our

2275
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 1: office that we turned into the studio. The AC pops

2276
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: on randomly, like every five minutes. So like if you

2277
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: in the middle of a taken you hear that boom,

2278
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:22,840
Speaker 1: it's like stop, cut, start over, we gotta do this

2279
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: like so it's like it was like we was. It

2280
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 1: was like we was running a race where you had

2281
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: to h not even race. What's the freeze tag. It's

2282
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 1: like we're doing freeze tag with acting where it's like, man,

2283
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the dreams cut?

2284
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, by wait for it the reset itself?

2285
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,760
Speaker 1: All right, man, just get that back, get that back.

2286
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You was angry, Remember, we

2287
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 1: was like we had to do that so many times.

2288
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: We had another thing we filmed where the comedian that

2289
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 1: we filmed this whole sketch with, it was a serious

2290
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: sketches went on a podcast and said some wild ship

2291
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:01,080
Speaker 1: and then we just didn't have that for the whole season.

2292
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:04,600
Speaker 4: So now everything that they have recorded, so now we

2293
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 4: just we all got to come up with some some

2294
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 4: different style because.

2295
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 3: They went and wowd out. They was like you can't

2296
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 3: do it.

2297
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 1: Like everyone just came into the office, everyone was setting

2298
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 1: up and we all sat room. Everybody had the same

2299
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: look on their face like why why, Like.

2300
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 2: Why text me that on the side, Rock.

2301
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: I got I got you in the DMS, I got

2302
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 1: you in the DM.

2303
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 2: It was just it was like I now I understand more.

2304
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 5: But also like you will be a better writer next

2305
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 5: year for the experience you have. Now I understand why people,

2306
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:39,679
Speaker 5: this is why you only shoot five or six pages

2307
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 5: a day because tries you might you are accounting for

2308
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 5: all the things that.

2309
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:44,719
Speaker 2: Will go wrong.

2310
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but also I can't do.

2311
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 5: That because I don't have money to shoot for five

2312
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 5: pages a day. So now you got to right to

2313
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 5: your budget.

2314
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 2: I mean might just mean you know you if you're

2315
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,320
Speaker 2: shooting in a location, you either shooting in that location

2316
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 2: long enough or for it to be a day, or

2317
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:03,600
Speaker 2: you need to find out another way to make it

2318
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 2: work because otherwise, you know you're losing three hours. Now

2319
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 2: I know that, yeah, but I didn't. There's so much

2320
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 2: and I thought I knew a lot, and I did

2321
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 2: know a lot. Yeah, there was no but.

2322
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm not more.

2323
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:18,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why they'd be like, why do y'all have

2324
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 4: eighteen twelve hour days? That's why yep, And they were like,

2325
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 4: we're gonna get everything in.

2326
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:26,639
Speaker 1: They was like, honestly, there's so much when you're dealing

2327
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 1: with like unions and stuff too. I mean, ain't no

2328
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: eighteen twelve hour days unless you got eighteen twelve hour money, correct,

2329
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 1: Like people are expecting to go home. Man, They not

2330
01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 1: committed to it as you like, it's your project, so

2331
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: you like, I work twenty five hours if I got

2332
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: they like I got kids, my office hours off of

2333
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 1: nine to five, and you know that's it.

2334
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 4: Sad.

2335
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:55,040
Speaker 5: It's a whole different animal. And when I so, I

2336
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 5: just learned because of how Churchy went. I learned to

2337
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 5: budget and produced my own stuff, which I hadn't had

2338
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 5: to do every even when I worked at all death.

2339
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 5: Other people did that. When I figured out with SAgs, say,

2340
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 5: you got to pay carrying one hundred dollars, right, that's

2341
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:14,200
Speaker 5: a SAG minimum. Because of everything you gotta pay, plus

2342
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 5: their health payments, you end up paying her forty percent

2343
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 5: of her salary in addition to whatever you pay her

2344
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 5: for Every person and a background extra is ninety.

2345
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 2: Six dollars for my tier budget. If you want that

2346
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 2: person to say one line work, yep, you now have

2347
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:40,880
Speaker 2: to pay them the SAG minimum yep, and all that percentage.

2348
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 2: And I was like one line yep.

2349
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 5: If you even watched the wire, you hear people saying pandemic, pandemic.

2350
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:54,599
Speaker 5: You rarely actually see the person that said pandemic because

2351
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 5: it's cheaper to do a voice over where you don't

2352
01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 5: see that person.

2353
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 2: But if a person is on camera speak you were

2354
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 2: paying them bagmentum.

2355
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 5: If they're walking by and they clear frame and then

2356
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 5: you hear pandemic WMD. Now you can pay a voiceover

2357
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 5: actor much less to say all the lines that you

2358
01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 5: need to hear off camera.

2359
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,599
Speaker 1: It was stuff, It was stuff I wanted to do

2360
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: that I found out, like you just you can't do

2361
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 1: it because I'm in the right. I'm in the Writers Union.

2362
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 1: They're like, Nah, you gotta get they gotta charge pay

2363
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 1: you this, so they gotta give you this type of thing.

2364
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 1: So if you just wanted to do some ship in

2365
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: the sketch, too bad, like go start being the actor now.

2366
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:34,599
Speaker 1: Like it was a lot of stuff, man, Like it's

2367
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,679
Speaker 1: a lot of rules, like so you gotta you gotta learn.

2368
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 2: A lot of rules.

2369
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:47,400
Speaker 5: So many and this is why Tyler Perry does uh

2370
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 5: everything on his studio. Right on his set, they do

2371
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 5: not move if it's in the bruh is in these

2372
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 5: three locations. Yeah, And then I found out that a

2373
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:00,560
Speaker 5: lot of times when it shows, it's like, you know,

2374
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 5: we're three panels, right, the restaurant's here, the bedroom is Karen,

2375
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 5: the barbershop is Rod, and they just.

2376
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:09,679
Speaker 3: Moved for room in the room.

2377
01:54:10,240 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah on a dollar.

2378
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:11,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2379
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 2: And the actress only get one or two takes.

2380
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,680
Speaker 5: So I was like, so one of my actressends was like,

2381
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 5: I was like, why do some actors not be looking

2382
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:22,759
Speaker 5: like they can act? It was like, bro, because Tyler

2383
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:25,840
Speaker 5: moves like this, they often don't get a take or two.

2384
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:28,519
Speaker 5: And some of our best stuff we didn't get to

2385
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 5: the fifth the sixth take, like Tyler not going.

2386
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 1: For that and like hard not to mention, like actors

2387
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: get better with Tom and they having the characters and stuff.

2388
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 1: So like the acting you get in an episode five

2389
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 1: or six might be better than the acting you got

2390
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 1: in the pilot episode because you done did it for

2391
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: a while. But like everybody ain't got time, everybody like

2392
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 1: you if you get an episode six, you know what,

2393
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's precarious out this mug.

2394
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 4: Dog because because was like I'm not picking up the

2395
01:54:58,200 --> 01:54:59,560

Speaker 3: We're gonna roll you around.

2398
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:06,440

2399
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:08,840

2400
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 1: in a way he's doing what Kev's doing like Marvel

Speaker 2: My son said Jurassic Park was awful.

2423
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is.

2424
01:56:24,280 --> 01:56:27,720
Speaker 2: We saw Top Gun instead, and I had a great time.

2425
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:33,120
Speaker 1: It's such fun. It's such a nostalgia bomb. And they

2426
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 1: don't even pretend to not be. They just lean into

2427
01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 1: like I want to say it stars with like yeah

2428
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: to the daya zone, like it just ganges z. Like

2429
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 1: even the music is all like Top Gun like it's.

2430
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 5: It is, Yeah, but it still works if you've never

2431
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 5: seen the movie. Because my wife and my sister in

2432
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 5: law hadn't seen Top Gun and they enjoyed it as

2433
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 5: much as I did. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's

2434
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 5: such an eighties action movie, that's.

2435
01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:05,840
Speaker 1: What it was. It was the exact dog. When they

2436
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:10,160
Speaker 1: uh carjack a plane, I said, yeah, this ain't about life.

2437
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 1: This is just what we did in the eighties.

2438
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 2: It did.

2439
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:15,280
Speaker 1: It didn't have to be read no sense. I still

2440
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know what country the war was with. What country

2441
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: was that we still don't know. It don't matter were.

2442
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 2: It was none the scriptastern Eastern place.

2443
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 1: They were smart enough to know to making white people

2444
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,480
Speaker 1: that was the update because like if it would have

2445
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 1: actually been the eighties, it definitely would have been like

2446
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 1: sound people some Muslims or some Asians or something. It

2447
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: would have been real stereotisicals.

2448
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 2: When they couldn't use real colleges and it was like

2449
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 2: big States.

2450
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, big day.

2451
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,280
Speaker 1: They didn't like they didn't even bother to name it,

2452
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 1: like I don't even think they gave it a name, like.

2453
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 2: Like because they don't know who was too many people

2454
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,480
Speaker 2: right now, they was like we just.

2455
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:02,280
Speaker 5: Like it was rocky for we know we're going to

2456
01:58:02,680 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 5: war with the Rush. We got too many wars going concurrently.

2457
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:05,840
Speaker 3: Yes, we do.

2458
01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 1: When they was filming this, that was like, listen, let's

2459
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 1: just not set off an international incident. We're not naming

2460
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 1: no countries. We don't know. It's twenty twenty two. They

2461
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 1: probably was writing into twenty twenty. They was like, listening

2462
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 1: to get canceled, don't start now, Okay.

2463
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:27,800

2492
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 1: it was so funny. I was dying, like from the

2493
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:47,680
Speaker 1: like from the beginning of it, like when Angel talked

2494
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 1: about how she did her own kids graduation for free school.

Speaker 2: Angel that check. Angel is a god sind of a

2498
02:00:03,200 --> 02:00:03,600

2500
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:09,640

Speaker 2: And.

2502
02:00:11,120 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 4: All of a sudden it would just flow, and I

2503
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:16,880
Speaker 4: would just bust out laughing because it's something because we podcast,

2504
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 4: if we have to do it, do these things live,

2505
02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:21,400
Speaker 4: and it is not always an easy thing to transition

2506
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 4: like that, but she'll make it.
