193
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,200

205
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: and Sean Wayne's we had the same haircut, We had

206
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 5: the exact same Paisley shirt with the slash, the exact

207
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: same shoes. I was like, Hey, I want to do

208
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: stand up. So my cousin told me go to the

209
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 5: Uptown Comedy Club. It's right around the corner from the

210
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: follow Yeah, from the Apollo's one hundred history. So at

211
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: this point, I'm eighteen, I'm trying to get to the Apollo,

212
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 5: But every week I got there late because that was

213
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: the time when they would say, all right, well it's

214
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 5: about you got to go through the Holland Tunnel. Then

215
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: you gotta go all the way uptown. Then you got

216
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: all the way to Manhattan. You gotta find parking. And

217
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: I'll say, okay, that'll take ten minutes. That was my

218
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: thinking back then. Yeah, I thought I could do everything

219
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: in a half.

220
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: Hour, right right, I st don't take that way.

221
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know, time doesn't work like that, And

222
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 5: I would always be late. So the first time I

223
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: went there, I was too late to get in. The

224
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 5: second time I went there, I was late to get in.

225
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 5: The third time I went there, it was too late

226
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: to get in. And I said, I'm a comedian. I

227
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: thought that would help. They said, well, come to this

228
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 5: comedy workshop that we do every Wednesday. So I went

229

297
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: when I see him.

298
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,480

300
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 5: Well, they're so busy working out. That's their rush. I

301
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 5: will tell you. So, I don't have any stories about bombing,

302
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: but I have stories.

303
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. No comedians associate battle. They say that,

304
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you never bombed. I'll tell you it's

305
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: not possible. But I'll tell you this, it's not possible.

306
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: You and I have a gift of crowd work. You

307
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: and I have a gift.

308
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: But still I need something, and you can turn it

309
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 5: around every single bomb.

310
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: You've turned around every.

311
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 5: You can always start off, and some people start off slow,

312
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 5: purposely so they can see if they need joke works.

313
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: That's like a process that a lot of people have.

314
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: But a lot of times I just let the joke

315
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: right itself.

316
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,720

00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: like they were in Wu tang Oh watching football, and

321
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: they would turn off the TV when they come in

322
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: the stage already fuqua coming to the stage, no pomp

323
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 4: or circumstance.

00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: game is off and a random person is talking to

327
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: a microphon. You would win those guys over.

328
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it all saw us with what man look

00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 5: broke ball fucker coming here, your dirty AARs hat. And

331
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, they're all laughing. Now everybody's laughing.

332
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 5: Everybody's on your side. Now they're cracking back at you.

333
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 5: You're cracking on them. Everybody's having a blast since day one. Yeah,

334
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: because see, I grew up in bad neighborhood.

335
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: When you were eighteen years old, you could do that

336
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: on stage.

337
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't start when I was eighteen.

338
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 5: I started when I was nineteen because by the time

339
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: I got on stage, it was December and I celebrated

340
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 5: my birthday. Then I got on stage I got on

341
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 5: stage right after my nineteenth birthday.

342
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: My larger point is at that young yeah, first show

343
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: you ever did.

344
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 5: I was a monster with the sna crushing. I was

345
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: a beast with the snaps. I wasn't crushing on stage.

346
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: But like I said, if the material isn't working, something's

347
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 5: going to work. Because I grew up in bad neighborhoods.

348
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: So you cut your teeth like in middle school.

349
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: But basically, yeah, I was always that kid that was

350
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: making fun of people. When I was in college, I

351
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: was shut down at campus. People be afraid to walk

352
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: past me because I'd be cracking everybody.

353
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: You were always class clowns day one.

354
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: I was always that guy, and I love being that guy,

355
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 5: and I love cracking.

356
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: To be a bomb audition or something you never bombed

357
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: in an audition.

358
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,880

Speaker 3: There are times.

367
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: There are times when I have walked out and said, man,

00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 5: oh my god, Yeah that was well opening up for Chris,

451
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 5: but that was that was pretty bad. The thing about

452
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 5: bombing is that it bills character. It does It makes

453
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: you so much better because you learn not to do.

454
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: It's the greatest teacher.

455
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 5: It's the greatest teachers.

456
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: You teach you. Yes, he wakes you up.

457
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 5: Yes.

458
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: I had this guy come on stage like two weeks ago.

459
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: I'm hosting the show, and you know, I bring people

460
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 5: when I host the show. If it's a small crowd,

461
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 5: just bring people on stage to talk. So makes the

462
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 5: interactive cracks into it. So that's the best way to

463
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 5: create a joke because the joke comes from the situation.

464
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 5: It's always different. So there's a guy on says, there's

465
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: a guy yelling out, let's go, let's go. He keeps

466
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 5: yelling out, let's go, and I'm not really paying any attention.

467
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: But he's saying that to you, like get off the stage.

468
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 5: No, he's yelling let's go. Like you know when you're

469
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: on crowd, there's the audiences like yeah, let's go.

470
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go. Yeah yeah yeah.

471
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: But he wasn't doing it in like a very macho yeah.

472
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 5: He was like, let's gow, let's which is fine. The

473
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 5: audience loved him. I said, my man, come in here.

474
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: So I bring him on stage and I said are

506
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,159

508
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,439

Speaker 5: I don't know, not seven minutes, because I'm.

510
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: Here, it's seven minutes the max. I think that's when

511
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:56,960

512
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,800

519
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 5: You'd have to ask him, but I think when I

520
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 5: got out of when I was when they brought me

521
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,560

00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 5: was in Robert Johnson when they brought me to uh

526
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 5: JFK hospital, is it in Edison? When they brought me

527
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,320

00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,600

00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 5: Black version, Final destination, the BT version.

577
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: How did the brain recover? Like, what do you do

578
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: for brain recovery? Little magnets on your brain?

579
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: No, Well, from what.

580
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 5: I was told by the neurologists, the fact that comedians

581
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 5: think so much that we have to use our brains constantly,

582
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: like every time on stage or in the moment, uh,

583
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: analyzing the crowd, talking to people, that our brains are

584
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 5: so well rounded that when parts of your brain go down,

585
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 5: the other parts just pick up the slack. So basically,

586
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 5: when you're in a vegetative state is because one part

587
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: of your brain shuts down, but the other parts of

588
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: their brain. I'm not strong enough to pick up the slack.

589
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 5: But comedians are so well rounded in word repetition and

590
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 5: what we say and repeating jokes and meeting people every

591
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 5: night and remembering names and faces and locations and what's

592
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 5: happening and what's going on. Like, we are very well

593
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: rounded people, Like we know songs.

594
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: We feel everything, and you can feel all your toes

595
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: and all your fingers and everything. Yeah, gosh, man, it.

596
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 5: Could have been so much fucking worse, so much worse.

597
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 5: I thank God that I'm here. That's so, I tell people,

598
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 5: I have no reason to be angry at all. I

599
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: have no reason to be angry at all because I

600
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,199

Speaker 1: I'm alive.

00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: older man now now. The people that I surround myself

743
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,600

748
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,640

Speaker 3: I said, this is different.

875
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 5: See, I haven't had any alcohol though, so I'm sober.

876
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: So twenty five years ago. What were you doing in

877
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 4: the nineties? Were you doing cocaine everything?

878
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: That's what it was.

879
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: Heroin wasn't any good because heroin you do.

880
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,319

885
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 5: It just wasn't mushrooms. I went on stage on mushrooms once.

886
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: That was horrible.

887
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 5: I thought the audience with puppets, oh.

888
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: You were high. That it wasn't a little bit like

889
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: it was.

890
00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: At the event. Dollars I think, I think.

891
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 5: I think at this point little Penny was good with

892
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 5: Chris playing little Penny, and they all like little Penny.

893
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 5: They all like that little puppet the entire Yeah. When uh,

894
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: Chris Rock was doing Penny Hardaway puppet, he was a

895
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: little Penny.

896
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't know he was. He was a voice.

897
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 5: Chris Rock was a voice.

898
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that.

899
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: But in my mind, the audience whatever, they look like

900
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: they have puppets. To me, I was tripping and there

901
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 5: was a comedian named Maya de Giorgio, and she said,

902
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 5: all her voice going arties high, and all the comedians laughing.

903
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, making it way worse.

904
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: I thought I was being funny. I thought I was

905
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 5: being funny, but they all disliked puppets. I mean it's

906
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 5: it's a you know you have a bomber. You don't

907
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 5: know you bomb, you have a bomb. I think you're killed.

908
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: And people are like, I don't know if I thought

909
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: I was, but I've definitely come on sage, realize how

910
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: bad it was until like the way the comics looked

911
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: at me after the show, you know what I mean,

912
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: You get like the like avoiding, like look away. You're like,

913
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: oh shit, I did that bad.

914
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 5: They look you up and down, or you know you

915
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 5: had a bad show. When you're standing in Mexico comedian

916
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 5: that had a good set and they come to, god.

917
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: You are funny, you are so funny. And then you

918
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: look at you and go, yeah, yeah you good, yeah

919
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: yeah if hey, you were good. Oh my god.

920
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 5: But the person saying nextual you, oh you were so

921
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 5: funny you were and they push you out the way,

922
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 5: Oh you are par bro parton bro part bro yo

923
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 5: you anyway, you so funny? They just stare at the

924
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 5: whole time. Somebody need to write some jokes. I ain't

925
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 5: gonna say it is with somebody need to get they

926
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 5: act together?

927
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: What is that? What is why comedy? It forces the

928
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: audience to be brutally honest, Like you can go to

929
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: a music show that's not that good, right, but you're

930
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: not going to criticize the musician afterwards. You're just gonna

931
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: go on and not really think about it.

932
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 4: Because what about comedy forces polarization where you either love

933
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: the comic or they just didn't do it for you.

934
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 5: Because everybody wants to be a comedian, and when people

935
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 5: go to a comedy show, you noticed when the comedian

936
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 5: isn't doing well. You notice every mistake. When you go

937
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 5: to a music show, you're not a musician. You don't

938
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 5: know if the band missed the beat, or you don't

939
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 5: know if the singing as often miss off miss And

940
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 5: then the band goes and you say to the band,

941
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 5: that was a great show.

942
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, I missed the entire riff.

943
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 5: And fucking Keith was off the key and blah blah blah,

944
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,520

Speaker 1: real rigid and uptight. Well, you know the thing.

1119
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 5: The thing about comedy on stage when you make your

1120
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 5: life a part of your act and then you think

1121
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 5: that this is gonna bomb because it's happened to me

1122
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 5: and it's really hurt, and the audience is laughing at

1123
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 5: your pain.

1124
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: Like I have a joke where I say, you know

1125
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 3: what I say, I'm ugly.

1126
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 5: I don't think i'm only but if I say it

1127
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: on stage, it makes people comfortable with me.

1128
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 3: People start laughing.

1129
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 5: If I come on say and say I'm good looking,

1130
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 5: you ain't no guy, damn because he looked like Frozone.

1131
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 5: Look at that man because we got his super suit.

1132
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 5: But if I come out and if I said ugly,

1133
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, he's near enough. It makes me

1134
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 5: a little bit easier to.

1135
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 3: Get along that right, right, right.

1136
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 5: That's good for a comedy, but it's not good for

1137
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 5: real life.

1138
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: It's not good for your esteem.

1139
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that it's not good for real life. Because

1140
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 5: I walked up to a woman and I said, I know,

1141
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 5: a girl as beautiful as you would never talk to

1142
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 5: a man as ugly as me. And she looked me

1143
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 5: up and down and said, at least you understand.

1144
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 3: That's cold.

1145
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: That's cold to the bone.

1146
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, cold to the bone.

1147
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: So we hugged a lack of confidence.

1148
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 5: We take the hardest parts of our life and we

1149
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 5: put it out there to the public. And the thing

1150
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 5: about it, if it's something that's really insecure or painful

1151
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 5: to you, that's you.

1152
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,080
