Speaker 13: niggas just naturally got it, man Like it's just like that,

160

Speaker 13: He said, look here, young man, let me tell you something.

193
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 13: When I started making movies, it was three things that

194
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 13: had to happen. Well, I wouldn't fuck with the movie.

195
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 13: Got to win all my fights. I got to win

196
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 13: all my fights. That's number one. Got to fuck all

197
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 13: the pretty girls.

198
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 9: I'm gonna get you suck. That's what's number two. And

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 9: I got to live.

200
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 13: All three of them. Things got to happen in the

201
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 13: movie for me to be in them. And I looked

202
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 13: at every movie this nigga was in and it's the same,

203
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 13: and nigga beating up niggas from the beginning, fucking the

204
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 13: bad bitch in the middle, and that nigga lives at

205
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 13: the end and in that time in the area. But

206
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 13: just listen to me in that time and are in

207
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 13: real life nigga would get beat up, We're gonna take

208
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 13: your bitch, and you're dead by the end.

209
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 9: Of the movie.

210
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 13: These are three things that's happening to you. Black actors,

211
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 13: get that part in your head. So somebody had to

212
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 13: create a stigma of hold on, we wanna see some

213
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 13: superheroes that look like us. That's what the super Fly

214
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 13: and the Shafts and the Black Dynamites and the Dolomites,

215
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 13: that's where they come from. Because it had to be

216
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 13: somebody that set the trend on. You're not gonna do

217
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 13: me like that. I'm not gonna be in it. So

218
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 13: that's why when I got to a certain point of

219
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 13: doing movie, I pulled back from Hollywood because they always

220
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 13: wanted to kill a nigga. They wanted me to die

221
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 13: in the movie. The last movie I died in. Me

222
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 13: and John Singleton had to understand and it was like, look,

223
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 13: I really don't want to die in no more movies

224
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 13: cause because I just don't like the spirit of that ship.

225
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 9: I like to live.

226
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 13: He was like, nigga, the way you're gonna die in

227
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 13: this movie, nigga, you're gonna live forever.

228
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 8: The one and only man. He named three big names

Speaker 8: off that so well and everything you do.

270
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 14: DJ DJ is a a talented guy, and we we

271
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 14: get along so well because we find similarities in how

272
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 14: we approach the craft, right like we have a mutual

273
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 14: respect and understanding for where we've come from, where we

274
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 14: are now and when we when we met, DJ was

275
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 14: having crazy international success. I was having crazy domestic success, right,

276
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 14: So his his his road to becoming that international movie star.

277
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 14: It was it was clear like he was on his

278
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 14: way on the domestic side.

279
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 16: I was crushing.

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 15: So we we met.

281
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 14: I think we met it like a It was an

282
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 14: MTV Movie Awards. We met backstage and we talked and

283
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 14: he was, dude, we gotta figure it out, we gotta

284
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 14: do something together, and we were We were true to that.

285
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 15: We try to figure it out.

286
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 14: And the reason why because we wanted those two things

287
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 14: to combine, and that's what Central Intelligence was about. Central

288
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 14: Intelligence was about us coming together and trying to find

289
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 14: a comedy that could take us over the water internationally

290
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 14: while fulfilling the need for comedy domestically, because at the.

291
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 15: Time, you know, comedy was low key. It was low

292
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 15: key dying. Like you know, if you if you go

293
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 15: look back at that.

294
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 14: Tom frame and comedy there there weren't a lot of

295
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 14: successful comedies. Uh, you had Wallberg's movies with Farrell that

296
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 14: were crushing, you know, you had Me and Hackers movies

297
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 14: that we were doing, and you know, the hangovers that came.

298
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 15: A couple of times far few and in between were questioned.

299
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 14: But the attempt for comedy from so many others it

300
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 14: was it wasn't doing well so international. They didn't think

301
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 14: that it could translate, especially if you had, like, you know,

302
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 14: people of color in it.

303
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 15: So our reason for doing that was to show that

304
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 15: we're on.

305
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 14: The opposite side of that conversation that we could very

306
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 14: much do it. Central Intelligence ended up being our reason

307
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 14: for continuing relationship. We had a great time filming it,

308
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 14: crazy success, and then we went on and kept it going.

309
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 8: Welcome to the show, Will Smith, Will appreciate.

310
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 7: One of the best things that ever happened to me

311
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 7: in terms of acting was James Avery.

422
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 19: thirty minutes later, same thing, and now it's the end

423
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 19: of the end of my day.

424
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: I'm about to leave.

425
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 19: I got my car waiting, and I'm like, let me

426
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 19: just say peace to.

427
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 9: Me before I go, and it don't happens. Answer.

428
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: Right.

429
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 19: Finally, there's a scene in the movie that wasn't written

430
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 19: with my character and his character. There was no interaction

431
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 19: to my character and his character written in the movie, right.

432
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 19: But Russell had insisted that this is the scene where

433
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 19: we interrogate him.

434
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: This is the crew that brought him down.

435
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 19: The police would all be there on his ass because

436
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 19: this is the team that did it, and he want

437
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 19: the whole team there. But it wasn't written. And so

438
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 19: Denzel comes to the to the set and he kind

439
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 19: of sees it and it's like it wasn't what it

440
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 19: was written. So he walks away, right, And so I'm like,

441
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 19: and I'm so self conscious everything that's going wrong, I'm

442
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 19: blaming myself, right because of like I think at that time,

443
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 19: Sam Jackson had an article out with Hodge Rappers doing roles, right,

444
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 19: and so I'm like, nobody wants me here.

445
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 16: So then we do the scene and he doesn't really.

446
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 19: Smile, and you know, doesn't even like you know, really

447
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 19: kind of like didn't acknowledge me. And I was just like,

448
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 19: you know, finished the saying.

449
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 16: I just went back to my trail.

450
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 20: I was like, a man, it's crazy, right.

451
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,600

503
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: you know, after that, we went in there and did

504
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: the sh you know, did the scene, and I think

505
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 4: we one took it. I think it was like one

506
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 4: take and a safety you know what I mean. But

507
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: he really really spoke, man, He spoke life into meat

508
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: at the time. Because for him to even look at

509
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 4: me out of the eye, and you know what I'm saying,

510
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: respect my craft enough and respect you know me enough

511
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 4: as an actor especially, this was one of a lot

512
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 4: of you know, a lot of a lot of formal

513
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: or should I say, first trade actors were looking at

514
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 4: rappers who get movies kind of like oh, you know

515
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: what I mean. So for him to even take the

516
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: time to pour into me and give me some game

517
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 4: right then, that took me a long way.

518
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 12: How hard you know you've been in comedy now, how

519
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 12: hard were you laughing, gonna say it with Will Ferrell

00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 4: Man, all Lie, I couldn't.

523
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,840

524
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 9: Faith.

525
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,680

526
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 4: more if I wouldn't last and.

527

536
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: I wasn't there. I saw the movie. I was like, God, damn,

537
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: what the fuck? But you know, pushing the limits is

538
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 4: where you know what I'm saying. That what made comedy,

539
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: That's what makes it great. But that was the phenomenal

540
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 4: opportunity that that Kevin Hord pretty much man, he pretty

541
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,360

Speaker 2: Well, I.

555
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 23: The script was amazing. I mean, the script was it

556
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 23: was just you just shoot everything that's on the page,

557
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 23: you know. It was it was David Ward directed it,

558
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 23: wrote it. He won the Oscar for the Sting when

559
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 23: he was like twenty two. Really smart, really really funny,

560
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 23: really good dude, a huge baseball fan. You can always

561
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 23: tell how much someone knows about the game they're writing

562
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 23: about on the page, you know. And yeah, I had

563
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 23: one meeting with him and and he was like, well,

564
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 23: you you pitched in high school. I'm like yeah, And

565
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 23: that was only you know, four years ago, right, five

566
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 23: years right? Yeah? And he said, can you give me

567
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 23: something that I can because we didn't have computers back then.

568
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 23: We had to just use clever editing, you know. I said, well,

569
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 23: you can film me. You can film me in a

570
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 23: full wind up that that that I guarantee. But I

571
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 23: you know, I can't throw ninety eight or one hundred

572
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 23: or I'd be doing it for a living. But I

573
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 23: can probably get you somewhere in the mid eighties.

574
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 9: It's still good, not bad, you know.

575
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 23: So I did a bunch of steroids, right, and uh,

576
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 23: because I was only throwing like seventy six at the time,

577
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 23: and I had this trainer. This guy was a running

578
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 23: back at BUYU and he had a he knew a

579
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 23: guy that could get the steroids. And so we're at

580
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 23: golds jam and pump, yeah man, and and put literally

581
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 23: put ten miles per hour on my freaking.

582
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 9: Really yeah, how long? How much time?

583
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 23: With six weeks?

584
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Holy?

585
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 9: Yeah? Man?

586
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 23: Wow, I mean I was a little nutty during the thing,

587
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 23: you know, but it was a character though.

588
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 9: Juice.

589
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 23: Yeah, but I didn't continue juicing throughout the movie because

590
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 23: they brought in a dude named Marty Cove. You know

591
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 23: who that is. He's the he's the best, He's he

592
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 23: runs on on Cobra Kaine, you know, Karate Kid. He's

593
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 23: the he's the other sense at the Evil Dojo.

594
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

595
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 23: They brought him into audition for Dorn for Corman Burns

596
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 23: in the third Base Bank, and uh, I was still,

597
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 23: you know, doing the jabs. He was a little bit

598
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 23: kind of into whatever wherever his headspace was. And in

599
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 23: a bar one night he and I almost got in

600
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 23: a fight with like fifteen dudes, and I'm not. I

601
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 23: don't get in the fight with one dude.

602
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 9: He's not.

603
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 23: That's just not my thing. But Marty kind of was

604
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 23: leading the charge that night, and then ward got back

605
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 23: to the production and then like literally later on that afternoon,

606
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 23: Cormyn Burnson is just walking up, yeah, and he's like, hey,

607
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 23: good to see you.

608
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 9: So he was terrific. He was terrific. Yeah, he killed.

609
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 23: Yeah, he was great. But so yeah, the thing that

610
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 23: was difficult about Major League is that I didn't have

611
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 23: the the luxury of a like, you know, four or

612
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 23: five days between starts, and I would throw some nights

613
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 23: one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty pitches just low

614
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 23: oh man, yeah, just all the different coverage, all the

615
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 23: different pieces, and then the next day I have to

616
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 23: come back and throw eighty five or one hundred more.

617
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 23: And it was just like, care, Yeah, can we have scheduled?

618
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 9: Can I get a day off? Thank you?

619
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 23: But they can only have the stadium the specific.

620
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 9: Amount of times. But that what stadium was that.

621
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 23: That was in Milwaukee, Yeah, so would that have been Miller,

622
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 23: would have been that been County?

623
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 9: I think Miller is new or right, So it was

624
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 9: probably the older ones, right, was it County County Stadium?

625
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: But there was.

626
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 23: One scene where they literally had like thirty two thousand

627
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 23: people in the stands. Whoa, you know, I mean it

628
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 23: wasn't sold out, but the way they filmed it when

629
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 23: when when we run out, I didn't run out, but

630
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 23: when the team runs out and you could you could

631
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 23: feel it. I mean it was like, whoa, yeah, I

632
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 23: love it. But when I come out of the bullpen

633
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 23: for that, you know that classic moment. It was like

634
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 23: three in the morning. There was like sixty people left.

635
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 23: Everybody's falling asleep. It was yeah, there was. They had

636
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 23: cutouts of people like right on the edge of frame.

637
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 23: They like squeezing everybody in.

638
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 9: It was a trip and watching now and check that out.

639
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 23: I don't think anybody walked out any relief picture walked

640
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 23: out to a song prior to that didn't mean.

641
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 9: You set with that. I think that translated.

642
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 23: So it is it is such a just to see

643
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 23: that that then becomes a part of the game. And

644
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 23: then I'm watching I watch a lot.

645
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 12: Of baseball baseball. Have you have you heard of banana baseball?

646
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 23: I have, indeed yeah, yeah, those guys are all about it,

647
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 23: aren't they.

648
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: Damn.

649
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 9: But just.

650
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 23: If you just any game, any game, no matter who's playing,

651
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 23: at some point someone's going to quote something from Major question.

652
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 23: A guy throws one of the backstop and then one

653
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 23: of the announcers.

654
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 8: Going to say, just a bit outside also speak about

655
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 8: because it went from Willie Mays Hayes to what you

656
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 8: m call it?

657
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 9: To Omar to Omar good, excuse me to Omar. Yeah,

658
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 9: so when was that switch that was after the second one?

659
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 23: That was for the second Okay, yeah, everybody came back

660
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 23: except Wesley.

661
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 9: What was do you know? I think he was blatant

662
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 9: by then. Yeah. He was fast.

663
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 23: He was fast.

664
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 9: He he cahoop too. Remember from White Man Can't Jump?

665
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: He could, he could.

666
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 23: He could mimic things, okay, because he never played. But

667
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 23: he did something though, that is really really hard to achieve.

668
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 23: He could hit a pop up like at will because

669
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 23: he has to pop up once in spring training and

670
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 23: another time during a game. During the game he does

671
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 23: this the push ups again, right, and trying to teach

672
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 23: somebody to hit the bottom of the baseball. That's that's

673
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 23: like not easy because intuitively you want to hit the

674
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 23: center of the baseball right, But no, he was terrific,

675
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 23: And if they brought the dude in, I just I

676
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 23: couldn't get my mind around. Well, no, just pretend it's

677
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 23: the same guy. And I was like, but isn't that

678
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 23: kind of aren't we told.

679
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 9: All black people don't look the same?

680
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 23: No, it was, it was, and this is nineteen ninety four,

681
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 23: But still I wasn't down with it. I thought it

682
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 23: would have been better for the story. Also if he's

683
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 23: just something happened to him, or he you know, got

684
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 23: arrested in a foreign country and he couldn't make it back,

685
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 23: or something just more creative. And then then just another

686
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 23: dude shows up and you know, we have to go

687
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 23: out and find a new center fielder, right, rather than

688
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 23: what they landed.

689
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 9: On right right?

690
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: You know?

691
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 9: Interesting?

692
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 23: But no, it Major League is a career highlight for

693
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 23: me and is just a gift that keeps giving. There

694
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 23: was a time when I would go to baseball games

695
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 23: in any state in the country and buy a shitty

696
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 23: ticket and just get get inside the stadium. And then

697
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 23: it was just the first security guard He's like, oh,

698
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 23: what are you doing way up here? And then suddenly

699
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 23: I'm down into the thing. And then after the game

700
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 23: like kind of start wandering the hallways, you know, like

701
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 23: you see the signs to the clubhouse and then they're like, hey,

702
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 23: what are you doing here?

703
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 9: And then and then.

704
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 23: And then you're in with the players. Yeah, it was

705
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 23: like it was a backstage pass to Major League Baseball,

706
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 23: all access paths and it was that was cool. That

707
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 23: was some fantasy shit. No, that was in the script.

708
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 9: The script.

709
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, everything was on the page, which is like

710
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 23: mind blowing that David just saw all of this stuff.

711
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 9: You know. Welcome to the show, Ryan coueger Man, thank

712
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 9: you for your dying bro having.

713
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, Sinners different, different.

714
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 9: I didn't know what to expect, you know what I mean.

715
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 8: When we got we got a chance to see it

716
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks ago, we couldn't stop talking the

717
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 8: whole way home. I mean, where where did that the

718
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 8: idea of Sinners come from? Obviously out April eighteenth, make

719
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 8: sure you check it out. Robert Johnson. We did a

720
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 8: little studying on him. We dug in on that there's

721
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 8: some urban legend to him. But talk to me about

722
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 8: the thought process and you putting that project together.

723
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 3: It came from from from a lot of different angles, man,

724
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 3: but the most focus angle Levey was probably with my

725
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 3: uncle James, uncle James Edmonston. So like, so like, Bro,

726
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: where I came up. You know I'm from. I'm from

727
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: essentially two places in the Bay, which is like it's

728
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: like sacrilegious to say where we're from. But but but

729
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: it's my reality, you know what I'm saying. Like, like,

730
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: my whole family's from Oakland, and I was born and

731
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 3: raised there up up until I was about I want

732
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: to say, my wife forget me and my wife is here.

733
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 24: Bro.

734
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: I think I was either ten or eleven years old.

735
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: But in the nineties, Auckland was getting expensive and they

736
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: couldn't afford to buy a house where I was from

737
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: time I was ten or eleven, They bought a house

738
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 3: in a city called Richmond, which which is you know,

739
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: give or take ten ten fifteen minutes from North Aukland.

740
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: I was where I was living at before, and they

741
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 3: bought the house and we basically had been there since.

742
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: You know, some my little brothers barely remember Oakland, you know.

743
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: What I'm saying. But for me, it was home.

744
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 16: And it actually kind of saved me.

745
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: Bro when the funks kicked up when the beefs kicked up,

746
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: Like my ouaklah mummies knew knew me as having moved

747
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 3: to Richmond, and then my Richmond hommies to this day

748
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: they considered me from Oakland, you know what I mean,

749
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So so it kind of

750
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: saved me from a lot of you know, from a

751
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: lot of from a lot of how bad it got,

752
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: but a lot of my formative years, like my like

753
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 3: I would say, my humility, you know what I'm saying,

754
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 3: I learned from Richmond.

755
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

756
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: Oaklands many things that ain't a humble place, man, you know,

757
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like like, uh, but Richmond

758
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: is you know, you know what I mean. It's a

759
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: little it's a little like a slightly slower lifestyle, but

760
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: it's also like it's also like arguably more dangerous, you

761
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like and my uncle, right after

762
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: we moved to Richmond, my uncle bought a house like

763
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 3: like maybe a ten minute walk in Richmond from from.

764
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 9: Where we was from.

765
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 3: So that was my only other family I was in Richmond,

766
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: so I used to be out there. My parents was

767
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: cool with me walking to his house and that was

768
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 3: when I got old enough to have a little bit

769
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: of independence for me. Like I would walk and walk

770
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 3: down there to his house and sit up under him,

771
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: you know, just to get off from under the under

772
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: the house and his thing. He was off work, you know,

773
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: and he was a World War two ved and he

774
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 3: worked in the steel meal and all types of you know,

775
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 3: but you know he had he had a more chill

776
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 3: job in that era.

777
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 9: And when he got off.

778
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 20: Work, he liked to uh.

779
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 3: Either watch or listen to on the radio the San

840
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: in my life because I'm in Byron Georgia. You know

841
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, uh, And I'm thinking about this thing

842
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: that happens to us as gangster rap fans, that we

843
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: sadly become a custom to of an artist being monumental

844
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: and influencing our lives and rapping about navigating the same

845
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: things you navigating. And they succumb to it, right like

846
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: like you said, you got Park right here on your

847
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: hand and up there. Before Park got married, it was

848
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: a dude named Seagram from from the six ninth Ville

849
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: in Oakland. Who's Who's who was like the first gangster rapper.

850
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: You know, Hemry was gangster, but he wasn't making gangster rap, right,

851
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But Segrim was making that

852
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: you feel me like you put you put Seagram on.

853
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: And he got signed with Jay Prince to rap a

854
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: lot and he got married, you know, basically right.

855
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: When he was getting on.

856
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 16: And then you know, and then he got part you know,

857
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 16: and then you got.

858
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: Mac dre, you got Johnny Cash, you know, you got

859
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 3: the Jacker, You got countless young dudes.

860
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 16: You know you know what I mean, Rest peace, Kenny Cherry,

866
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: Nip and Doff. It hurts so much because that was

867
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: my age. And I thought that they made it out,

868
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like I thought that beat,

869

Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, back to back.

873
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 3: It put me in a mode of of of studying

874
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: the musician, you know what I'm saying, and and and

875
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,600

Speaker 3: Interrogated it, you know what I'm saying. And and and

879
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 3: that was really where you know, where the idea came

880
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: from for the for the movie. It was all of

881
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: those things, and coming off of spending so much time

882
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: making you know, two comic book movies in a boxing movie,

883
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,759

00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 25: it's great. Yeah, and nobody's there, so him and his boys.

963
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 25: I mean. They're like, Michael, be like soon, and I

964
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 25: was like, I'm not going. And when he got done,

965
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 25: he was like, so, what what is this?

966
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 9: You know?

967
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 25: And I said, look, it's the story of your Nike

968
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 25: deal basically, and you know happened around then, and here's

969
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 25: I had sent him a script and I kind of

970
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 25: talked him through it a little bit. And it's interesting,

971
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 25: of all the people I talked to for that movie

972
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 25: talking about humility, like, he was the only one who

973
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 25: was like, look, I talk about what I was I can't.

974
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 11: Do as Mike's voice is so deep, I can't do it.

975
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 11: But it was like it it gives a little extra intimidation, like, hey,

976
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 11: look what's up? Okay? He was like, I can only

977
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 11: tell you what I was there for and what I

978
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 11: know to be true.

979
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 25: I'm not going to talk about what happened when I

980
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 25: wasn't in the room, which everybody else is like, this

981
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 25: is what happened, this is what happened.

982
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 11: He was the only one. I was like, I know

983
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 11: what I know, and I don't know what I wasn't

984
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 11: there for. Here's what matters to me.

985
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 25: And he talked about his folks, and he talked about

986
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 25: you know, Chris Tucker's character obviously, and he talked about

987
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 25: like what was critical in terms of like, and I

988
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 25: don't want to give away anything because it was the

989
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 25: private conversation, right, but I was like, okay, cool, are

990
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 25: you like? So these are this is the shit that

991
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 25: I'm not you know, I'm gonna take that as gospel

992
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 25: and then go do it. And I was like, but Mike,

993
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 25: I don't want to. I'm not gonna put you in

994
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 25: the movie because you're such a like an icon. As

995
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 25: soon as I show somebody and try to be like

996
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 25: that's Michael Jordan, you're just gonna.

997
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 11: Be like, no, it isn't.

998
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 9: You know.

999
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 11: It just can't show a silhouette. You're like, no, it's

1000
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 11: not him. And so he was like, I don't know

1001
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 11: if you liked that or not, you know what I mean?

1002
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 25: But he was like, all right, okay, cool, yeah, no,

1003
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 25: Biola David's gonna play my mom.

1004
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 11: I was like, oh, okay, cool, I guess we better

1005
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 11: write her a good part.

1006
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 9: What was the process is trying to get her? Because

1007
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 9: I'm sure it wasn't very easy.

1008
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 25: No, I mean, if iow is somebody that I really

1009
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 25: look up, I think she's like the very best, you know,

1010
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 25: and that that absolute top of the best actors in

1011
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 25: the world. And she knew I felt that way because

1012
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 25: I had a little part with her in Suicide Squad

1013
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 25: and I was.

1014
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 11: Like, hey, you know, I think you're a genius and

1015
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 11: I'd love to do something with you. And she was

1016
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 11: kind of like, yeah, you know, and.

1017
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 25: And and so you know, I was just like I

1018
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 25: knew that I could use the fact that Michael wanted her.

1019
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 25: It was going to be in a hell of a

1020
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 25: lot more than that I wanted her. And I was like, hey, vi,

1021
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 25: all the look we wrote this, you know, for you

1022
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 25: and everything, and uh and Mike did say that the

1023
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 25: only way we can do it is if you play.

1024
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 9: And so she was.

1025
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: She came and did and did it.

1026
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 25: She was amazing and her husband, Julius Uh was great

1027
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 25: to He played Mike's dad.

1028
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 11: They play husband and wife.

1029
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 25: And he was like because he because I asked Michael, like,

1030
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 25: what's the like, I'm trying to find an actor play

1031
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 25: your father, like and I know, you know his father

1032
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 25: passed away and a lot has been said about how

1033
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 25: close they were and all that stuff, and he and.

1034
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 11: I was like, how do I who do I look for?

1035
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 11: And he was like, my dad had the best personality

1036
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 11: of anybody in the world.

1037
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 25: And like when he told me that, I remember being

1038
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 25: like he moved me, you know, and so and and

1039
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 25: then when Julius, I was like, this is just a

1040
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 25: dude who's so proud of his son.

1041
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 11: And that's what I loved about.

1042
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 25: Like what he did with that because she was a

1043
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 25: little more cynical, she kind of knew and saw maybe

1044
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 25: kind of do some of the bullshit.

1045
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 11: And I love the idea. But he was just so fucking.

1046
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 25: Proud of his son and just love everybody dracking his

1047
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 25: son and making videos and shit and just happy. And

1048
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 25: it was beautiful and cutting that against like the the

1049
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 25: clips of like, you know, his father's you know, being killed.

1050
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 11: Ultimately, I made it really really.

1051
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 25: Powerful, like you watched this guy who's you're not gonna

1052
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 25: live through the story to see his son become this

1053
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 25: you know who he became. And but but those two

1054
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 25: were really the anchor in the heart of the movie,

1055
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 25: and that that was definitely what Mike he He was

1056
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 25: not like sweating the corporate details of the fucking and

1057
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 25: you know he didn't.

1058
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 11: He was like, look and he said what he said.

1059
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 25: But he what mattered to him was like the certain

1060
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 25: key key people, you know, and and that we got

1061
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 25: you know, Marlon and Chris to play them was cool.

1062
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 25: And Chris of course like knows everybody, you know what

00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 25: And so they hadn't seen the movie at all and

1087
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 25: really know about it and kind of heard about it

1088
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 25: after we were done, and then they asked to screen it.

1089
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 25: And that's when I was like, oh shit. I was

1090
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 25: having a lot of fun, you know, playing Phil and

1091
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 25: kind of fucking with him, and so we went up

1092
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 25: and they were like, yeah, come up and show.

1093
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 11: Fill the movie. It's like okay, And all of a

1094
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 11: sudden I was like, oh man, did I go too

1095
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 11: far with fucking round?

1096
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 9: Then sue us and.

1097
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 25: Ship and they asked us to come up there, and

1098
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 25: we showed the movie in Portland, but not at Nike.

1099
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 25: I think they like rented out this whole movie theater

1100
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 25: down the street and we showed it, and Phil showed

1101
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 25: up and his kids, his wife and then like the.

1102
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 11: General counsel from Nike, and.

1103
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 25: So I introduced it and I remember being like, look,

1104
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 25: this is about the spirit of the company. And Phil,

1105
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 25: remember everybody likes to fuck with the boss, so you

1106
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 25: gotta have a sense of humor about that. And to

1107
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 25: his to his credit, he really did, you know. He

1108
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 25: was like, yeah, you know, you could take exception with

1109
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 25: this moment. In that moment, everybody has their thing. But

1110
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 25: it was actually really moving. When the movie was over,

1111
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 25: I walked in there and I saw like I was like,

1112
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 25: I shouldn't have done that thing where I stole.

1113
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: The candy at the movie.

1114
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 25: I was like, what am I fucking idiot? I don't

1115
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 25: even think about this. I walked out there and everyone

1116
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 25: was quiet and and nobody would say anything until Phil

1117
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 25: said something, and so I was kind of waiting. I said, so,

1118
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 25: all right, you know, what what'd you think? And Phil

1119
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 25: was like, well, I have some notes. I was like,

1120
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 25: gosh shit, all right, all right, well it's locked, but

1121
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 25: you know we can if you have some caveats, I

1122
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 25: can talk about them in the press or whatever.

1123
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 11: And and he said, first thing, he said to me,

1124
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 11: he was like, we were friends, and I thought, for

1125
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 11: a minute, looked like the d was about to cry.

1126
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 25: He'd like he because the truth is like that group

1127
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 25: kind of scattered after that, and because of the success

1128
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 25: of the Jordan thing, you know, son, he went to

1129
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 25: Adidas and Bateman's character also left, and you know, success

1130
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 25: brings success, but also sometimes people arguing about who's credit

1131
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 25: and he gets credit everything. And we didn't include that

1132
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 25: any of this stuff at the end of the movie,

1133
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 25: but I got the sense and he didn't say that

1134
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 25: that there was like, yeah.

1135
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 22: There have been acrimony, there have been competition.

1136
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 25: And when he saw it because what we did go

1137
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 25: to great lengths to copy exactly was like the office

1138
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 25: and the look and all that stuff, and he was like,

1139
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 25: you know, Phels, he's older now and he was like

1140
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 25: and he seemed like he was almost about to cry.

1141
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 11: He was like, we were friends.

1142
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 22: We were just friends trying to do something like he

1143
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 22: got lost in the nostalgia of.

1144
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: Like ye, he took him there, took him there, and uh,

1145
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, and.

1146
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 11: Then all everybody else was like, oh yeah, great movie.

1147
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 26: Great.

1148
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 11: So he had to break the ice.

1149
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 9: Yeah he did. Interesting if you were doing a bio

1150
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 9: pick up Michael Jordan. You think anybody who would you

1151
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 9: think will play him? Is there anybody that you can

1152
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 9: come to mind?

1153
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 25: It's so difficult, man, because you know, part of it is,

1154
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 25: I mean there's great actors like look, you know, like

1155
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 25: I mean, it's funny, but like I think Michael B.

1156
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 11: Jordan's one of the one of the great actors.

1157
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: I love him.

1158
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 11: I think he's just like this, like this the generation. Like,

1159
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 11: I just think he's spectacular.

1160
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 9: I think he's.

1161
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 25: Amazing in centners. A guy is just unbelievable. You know,

1162
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 25: he's been a friend of mine for a while, and

1163
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 25: so you know, he's a he's a first name that

1164
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 25: comes to mind just because he's actually too he yoked, right,

1165
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 25: he has that like magnetism and charisma, you know.

1166
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 11: And I didn't, you know, I didn't know.

1167
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 25: I wasn't around Jordan, So I don't know how much

1168
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 25: of it was, how much of the intimidation level or

1169
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 25: the toughness or whatever, like, because when I was a

1170
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 25: fan watching them, so I just saw what the other

1171
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 25: fans saw. And back in those days, you know, there

1172
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 25: was more of a filter that was getting put on.

1173
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 25: I mean, you guys know a lot better than me, obviously,

1174
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 25: but that's the sense I get. So Jordan remains kind

1175
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 25: of a mysterious figure to me too. Yeah, probably he

1176
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 25: seems to not be interested chasing ship.

1177
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 9: It wasn't thank you, Yes, Fast and Furious. Ten. We

1178
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 9: say ten like the first thing that come to your mind,

1179
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 9: number ten. The first thing that comes to my mind is.

1180
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 2: What the fuck?

1181
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 9: What fuck? Right?

1182
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, I can only be honest, and I

1183
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 5: say that because me and ty Reese both came in

1184
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 5: at two Too Fast, Too Furious, so we didn't even

1185
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 5: start the franchise.

1186
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 9: We got lucky. Rest in peace to John Singleton.

1187
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 5: John Singleton takes you know, he's known for taking ice

1188
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 5: Cube and certain people from the music world, ty Reese

1189
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 5: and throwing them in movies and then all of a

1190
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 5: sudden they have a whole career. He took me and

1191
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 5: and and put me in Too Fast, Too Furious. Tye

1192
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 5: had already done Baby Boy with him, and it changed

1193
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 5: the entire direction and trajectory of my of my life.

1194
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 5: Because I was on tour with eminem at the time,

1195
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 5: and I remember it like it was yesterday. I got

00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 5: this father, right, are you kidding? It's the gift that

1223

1224
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,959

1225
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,320

1226
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,600

1236
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 5: in terms of when you yell cut in the movie

1237
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 5: and the camera goes off of who really fucks with

1238
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 5: each other?

1239
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 9: Truly, nobody can with us when it comes to that,

1240
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 9: all of us.

1241
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 12: But you start talking about two now we're at ten,

1242
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 12: Like how crazy has has each movie got?

1243
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 9: And like do you do your own stunts? That's a

1244
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 9: good ask question. Let me ask, so let me break

1245
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 9: this ship down. Ask first one.

1246
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 5: That's a good question because because people people really need

1247
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 5: to know. So your first your first question was before

1248
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 5: you said you did your own stunts, was what.

1249
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 9: Was it how the movie gets crazy? How crazy do

1250
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 9: they get each movie?

1251
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 5: So what I was gonna say was that's one of

1252
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 5: the things that we seem to defy stereotypically, because you know,

1253
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 5: as sequels go on and on, before it was like

1254
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 5: sometimes they will get worse and worse. Arguably, these have

1255
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 5: gotten better and better to the point where it's like

1256
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 5: people just trying to understand how the hell we keep

1257
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 5: doing this shit? And I also hear people say all

1258
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 5: the time, why do y'all keep doing these movies? That's

1259
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 5: the dumbest fucking question in the world. I'm gonna tell

1260
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 5: you why, because no matter what industry we in podcasts, music, movies,

1261
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 5: it's all about a bottom line. It's all about how

1262
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 5: much you spend compared to how much you make. We're

1263
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 5: making billions of fucking dollars every time, bro, And I'm

1264
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 5: saying that like, I'm just giving you my heart. I'm

1265
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 5: not trying to brag nothing. So when you say why

1266
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 5: do y'all keys? When some of y'all keeps saying why

1267
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 5: the fuck do y'all keep shooting these movies? Let me

1268
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 5: tell you why, Because if you spend two hundred million

1269
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 5: and you make a billion, who the fuck is you

1270
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 5: gonna tell the stop shooting movies when you make it

1271
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 5: eight hundred motherfucking million dollars every time? How I need

1272
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 5: people to stop asking that question, even if you don't

1273
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 5: like it, even if you don't want.

1274
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 9: To watch it, stop asking that goddamn question. That is

1275
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 9: the answer.

1276
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 5: Because there is a person who's a CEO and a

1277
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 5: whole bunch of executives that work at an office, and

1278
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 5: they say, we just made eight hundred million dollars, We're going.

1279
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 11: To make another one.

1280
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 9: That's why it's part two period shit and the second

1281
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 9: part of stunts.

1282
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 5: When we first started in Too Fast, Too Furious, and

1283
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 5: on the first one, they used to let us do

1284
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 5: our own stunts, I meaning they would have like we

1285
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 5: would be driving the cars and everything, and they would

1286
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 5: have duplicate cars waiting just in case we wreck one

1287
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 5: of them, and then we getting the other one and

1288
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 5: just keep going, you know, seat belts strapped up everything safe.

1289
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 5: As the budgets continue to grow, they said, get the

1290
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 5: fuck out of them damn seats.

1291
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 9: And we're gonna replace you with stunt men.

1292
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 5: And no, we don't do our own stunts anymore to

1293
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 5: a degree, like we do little stuff, but the big

1294
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 5: shit we just leave to the stunt.

1295
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 9: You wouldn't have did that stunt in real life when

1296
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 9: you was franking the jawn.

1297
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 5: Without hell nah, absolutely not Nah. That was falling off

1298
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 5: a damn falcony. I don't play like that.

1299
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 9: I like to do crazy shit, but you know, jumping

1300
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 9: off balconies is not one of.

1301
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 12: These things, not at all. You speak Holly of ven Diesel.

1302
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 12: What makes him the face of the franchise?

1303
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 5: That's another good question, because y'all are asking questions that

1304
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 5: like people don't ask one, and then number two, that's

1305
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 5: going to allow me to tell you shit that other

1306
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 5: people don't fucking know. Then is one of those people

1307
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 5: that he's okay with not getting the credit? And what

1308
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 5: I mean by that is what makes him so special.

1309
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 5: He's a producer on these films. When I tell you

1310
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 5: this man eats, sleeps, breathes, shits fast and furious everything.

1311
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 9: But it's like other people will kind of get the credit.

1312
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 9: He just stays behind the scenes.

1313
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 5: But he's involved in every element, in every detail I'm

1314
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: talking about to my character, to Tyese's character, not just

1315
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 5: his character. He's looking out for everything, and he's looking

1316
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 5: out for the heart of what makes this franchise, you know,

1317
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 5: just the heartbeat of it. Because you know, you can

1318
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 5: see all these flying stunts and all this craziness and

1319
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 5: people can say it, but if you really think about

1320
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 5: when you watch these movies, why people keep coming back

1321
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 5: to the theater, there's a certain element of heart. And

1322
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 5: I know people joke about the family, and that's saying

1323
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 5: family all the time. But he is so in tune

1324
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 5: with making sure that there's heart moments that leave you

1325
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 5: even subconsciously wondering why you want to keep going back

1326
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 5: and watching this fucking movie and why you are just.

1327
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 9: So tied to it.

1328
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 5: And that's what in action, besides that action, besides all

1329
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 5: the besides the stuff that's on the surface. What I'm saying,

1330
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 5: he's he gets way beneath the surface and understands what

1331
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 5: makes the human fiber and people tick.

1332
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 9: That's why he's so fun. Welcome to the show, alan Q.

1333
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:45,439
Speaker 9: You appreciate your time.

1334
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 12: I did a lot of legendary movies, especially in our culture.

1335
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 12: Let's talk about three of those movies. Minister Society one.

1336
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 12: The process of doing that. I mean, I come from it,

1337
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 12: just that whole movie. It was just it wasn't just

1338
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 12: exciting to our culture, but it told so many people's stories,

1339
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 12: the way a lot of people was living, you know what.

1340
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 9: I mean.

1341
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 12: To see that on the big screen, to see it

1342
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 12: played out like in real time, like how rich shit

1343
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 12: really gone?

1344
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 9: Like that really did a lot for our culture. Talk

1345
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 9: about that, the process of that movie.

1346
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 24: I think the important thing I remember at the time

1347
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 24: we were selling that is you remember the show Cops.

1348
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 2: That's what we saw.

1349
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 24: We saw on the news every night, young black males

1350
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 24: running from the cops. The helicopter point of view. I

1351
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 24: remember at the time Spike Lee talking about and he

1352
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 24: was right when Ciskel and Ebert didn't like one of

1353
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 24: his films, he said, I don't make my films for you,

1354
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 24: and make it from my community, right, and he was

1355
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 24: correcting that Menace was different. I felt we needed to

1356
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 24: make it for white people. I felt black people would

1357
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 24: appreciate it and know it. But again that word understanding,

1358
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 24: I think we made that so you can see how

1359
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 24: that kid became that one of the news you're looking

1360
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 24: at and humanize them. It's hardcore as menace is. You

1361
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 24: got to humanize, you know, these these these children, their children,

1362
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 24: you know. And that was the number one reason we

1363
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 24: made that film, was just to get an understanding so

1364
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 24: we all weren't looked at like animals and as brutal

1365
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 24: as the film was. Also, like people were in the culture,

1366
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 24: like if you were lucky enough to make a black

1367
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 24: film back then, it had to have a message. It

1368
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,439
Speaker 24: had to be kind of sweet and have this good ending.

1369
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 24: You know, you didn't really have much control over your material.

1370
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 24: And we grew up on noir film. We grew up

1371
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 24: on Scorsese and de Palmer and all that hardcore shit.

1372
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 24: So we wanted to make a statement. It wasn't a

1373
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 24: message film. It was making a statement and it was

1374
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 24: a cautionary tale as well. And we knew we didn't

1375
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 24: want it to end pretty. It's part of the reason too.

1376
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 24: And Dear Mama, I grapple with like I we have

1377
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 24: to be careful about not making Tupac's death sexy, because

1378
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 24: there's nothing sexy about getting shot. There's nothing sexy about

1379
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 24: dying prematurely. So that was what Menace was about. And

1380
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 24: now it's a full circle moment with dealing with the

1381
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 24: Tupac thing, because it really enough, he kind of became

1382
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 24: that for better or worse. He embodied it for a

1383
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 24: reason and he went out like that.

1384
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 9: You know, can you speak to real quick?

1385
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 8: I was fortunate enough to before John Singleton past got

1386
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 8: a chance to go to the Poetic Justice twenty five

1387
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 8: year anniversary and we watched it with him and everything.

1388
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 8: But I thought what was really dope was after he

1389
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 8: told us who possibly could have played the other characters

1390
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 8: and who are there looking at? Can you talk to

1391
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 8: us and in a society about who possibly could have

1392
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 8: played other roles or who you guys were thinking roles

1393
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 8: were for.

1394
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 24: First of all, I got to give a shout out

1395
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 24: to Tyron Turner because he's mad at him, and I

1396
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 24: don't Tyrone. I'm acknowledging it right now.

1397
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 9: He was a raw talent.

1398
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 24: I saw in a Jennet Jackson video, Rhythm Nation video.

1399
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 24: I saw him on an episode of America's Most Wanted.

1400
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 24: He played a blood even though he's from a Grip neighborhood.

1401
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 11: So who is this?

1402
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 2: This dude was going bananas?

1403
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 24: I find out. He's from that, so he knows that.

1404
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 24: So we fought real hard to get him. That was

1405
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,959
Speaker 24: the only right I start with tying, because we didn't

1406
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 24: have anyone in mind for that role but him. We

1407
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 24: were just obsessed with him. Old Dog was written for

1408
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 24: Easy E. And I gotta I gotta carefully say this

1409
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 24: because ice Cube has stated a few times that we

1410
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 24: offered him that role. I don't know who offered him

1411
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 24: that role. God bless him, because.

1412
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 9: They were going off of Boys in the Hood, right, Yeah.

1413
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 24: We never We never considered ice Cube because because Boys

1414
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 24: in the Hood and we had this Easy thing at

1415
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 24: the time. But that doesn't mean he didn't get contacted

1416
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 24: by our casting agents. But in our minds, we wrote

1417
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 24: that for Easy because we were with Easy while we

1418
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 24: were putting that script together, and that's who we were

1419
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 24: looking for.

1420
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 2: Easy.

1421
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 24: That's another story. You know, Cube had had been gone

1422
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 24: for a year, Dre was leaving when this was happening,

1423
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 24: and him and Jerry were very controlling. So that's I

1424
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 24: had to get kind of get out from underneath that.

1425
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 24: And so now we have to find a new guy,

1426
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 24: and we're looking for the easy look, you know, bulky typical,

1427
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 24: and we can't find odog and then the casting director says,

1428
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 24: I'll bring you I'll bring in the guys that that

1429
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 24: I didn't want you guys to see. And that's when

1430
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 24: Lomrenez Tate walked in and and he didn't looked He

1431
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 24: looked like a disney kid at the time. But once

1432
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 24: I said action, he he was right there. He was

1433
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 24: what you saw in the film.

1434
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 9: He was.

1435
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 2: He came with that.

1436
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 24: I can't act like we gave that to him or

1437
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 24: you know, he came with that uh a Wax which

1438
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 24: was m c a that was supposed to be m.

1439
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 24: C ran first met with him several times, but Easy

1440
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 24: and Jerry were blocking that, you know, so thank god

1441
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 24: because uh and Tupac was meant to play Sharif the Muslim,

1442
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 24: which became the challenge for him. You know, he didn't

1443
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 24: he signed on because he was our homeboy and he

1444
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 24: got the movie Greenley. They said, if we're not going

1445
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 24: to green light the movie unless you get a platinum

1446
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 24: recording artist, I go fly up to Oakland and he

1447
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 24: agrees to do it. But at the time that people

1448
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 24: have to understand too, like we were so close. The thing,

1449
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 24: the real misunderstanding where we're all like Accountable is. We

1450
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 24: were meant to be making movies with Tupac. So you

1451
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 24: can imagine when he tells me one day he's in

1452
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 24: pre production on Poetic Justice. He goes me and John

1453
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 24: Singleton agreed, I'm only starring in John Singleton movies. We're

1454
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 24: gonna be like Scorsace and de Niro. He gets like that,

1455
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 24: he gets really once he starts a relationship with you,

1456
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 24: he gets he's fire. It's all passion. So I'm sitting

1457
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 24: there kind of hurt too, like damn, and he goes, no,

1458
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 24: I'll still do I'll do the supporting role. I'll still

1459
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 24: do that. But I'm only starring in John Singleton movies.

1460
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 24: So that's what happened there.

1461
01:08:54,560 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 9: Welcome to the show, maw. Did you get to keep

1462
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 9: all them suits because they was fitted?

1463
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 6: Did you get to keep stacking joints all fitted just

1464
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 6: for me?

1465
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 9: Bro right?

1466
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 6: Week before rap, week before No, season six, No, let

1467
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 6: me take the board?

1468
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 27: Season six, Courtney, will let me go do a movie?

1469
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 27: I still had three episodes to do. You know that

1470
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 27: Who Done It? The final sixth episode where the Who

1471
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 27: Done It's right? And I know a lot of the

1472
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 27: fans were mad, like wait, who done It's better the

1473
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 27: reality of the who done it? Is better to be

1474
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 27: the ghost still living. But obviously we learned that who

1475
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 27: done it were just about who did it? What a conclusion?

1476
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 27: Being their ghost is not a lot. I can say

1477
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 27: it now still hurts a week before stat like rap rap,

1478

1551
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 27: where to either promote power and or any other thing,

1552
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 27: and stack those suits just happened to not be returned

1553
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:08,080

Speaker 8: You got you special because you just made a motherfucking

1558
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 8: suit story so suspenseful and had everybody on that I

1559
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 8: tell about suits, and he just had me running like.

1560
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 9: God, damn, what have these suits?

1561
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: But but I had to tell you that way.

1562
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 27: I had to tell There's no other way to tell

1563
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 27: you the story, man, because I wanted it to be

1564
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 27: known that the benevolence involved in that was that Frank

1565
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 27: had called and said, I have all these.

1566
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 6: Suits you and I can't not tell that story because

1567
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 6: Frank was a g for setting those suits aside for me.

1568
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 6: So for me, it is the thought that counts. As

1569
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 6: corny as that may sound, that's real. He really really

1570
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 6: was like I got these suits for you, bro, and

1571
01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 6: so he and I.

1572
01:13:58,960 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 24: I don't know.

1573
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 27: You can use the word ghost all you want in

1574
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,959
Speaker 27: many facets in life but in this regard it's pretty apropos.

1575
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 27: I guess the ghost took them because I never saw

1576
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 27: those suits again. On that's a real story, bro. And

1577
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,840

1585
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 27: I always wonder, I always you know, I know, y'all

1586
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 27: give credit to Spike Lee for being such a part

1587
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 27: of the basketball movement and hip hop becoming so synonymous

1588
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 27: with basketball.

1589
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 6: Spike has a lot to do with that.

1590
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 27: You think about Michael Jeffrey Jordan and his commercial, there's

1591
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 27: a lot, you know, the relationship there. Power was such

1592
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 27: a BEAUTIF loved showing the hip hop culture. I always

1593
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 27: wonder what you guys experienced was either coming outro in

1594
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 27: terms of almost exiting stage left as NBA greats and

1595
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 27: still playing when Power was rocking. I always wonder what

1596
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 27: it what the buzz was for the NBA in terms

1597
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 27: of players watching it.

1765
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,080

Speaker 29: Like, Mike guess is my favorite person to work with

1780
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,000

Speaker 2: It's no act.

1782
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,320

1787
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 29: you can't replace Chris Tucky, but I wanted somebody who

1788
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 29: was you know, crazy and fun and in his own

1789
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,960

1803
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 30: We used to you guys all the time, you know,

1804
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 30: you know, we we were big in the black community

1805
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 30: always because we grew up in the black community, you know,

1806
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 30: and other other communities, but black people really related to us.

1807
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 31: It wasn't just because of the weed. It's because we

1808
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 31: played that kind of music and the struggle too.

1809
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 32: And y'all and growing up in Calgary, it's really hard

1810
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 32: to be around black people.

1811
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 2: Both of them.

1812
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 9: There were like five families.

1813
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 11: And I swear to God, you know.

1814
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 32: And then when I when I I started dancing Lindy hop,

1815
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 32: and of course my partner became this really good dancer,

1816
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 32: black girl, and she was the one that introduced me

1817
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 32: to the football player Tommy and and and then we

1818
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 32: had a show one time where Tommy her would dance

1819
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,640
Speaker 32: and we'd play music, and you know, we did a

1820
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:29,560
Speaker 32: floor show with that, you know. So so my introduction

1821
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 32: was more like schooling, you know, because it wasn't just

1822
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 32: I knew had black friends.

1823
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: Man, I had a I had.

Speaker 8: came together for your act, it was like no one

1895
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 8: would ever know. And what do you guys attribute that

1896
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:36,679
Speaker 8: to just your willingness to get the job done or agreed?

1897
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 2: Agreed?

01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:41,599

01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 21: all of us are still on Regina King, Regina Hall,

1946
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Bro.

1947
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 21: When I got to the set of Baby Boy, it

1948
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 21: was all black people in every category on the set,

1949
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 21: and then I went from Baby Boy to Too Fast,

1950
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 21: Too Furious, and because that was my introduction in Hollywood,

1951
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 21: I'm like steady, cam, lighting, grips, electron. All of these

1952
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 21: departments were all black people, and so he normalized. He's like, yo,

1953
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 21: if you're capable of doing the job, I'm not gonna

1954
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 21: exclude you. Because at the time everything about excluding us

1955
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 21: from all departments was very real. So when you the

1956
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 21: boss and you can put your people on that's very

1957
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 21: capable doing the job, I ain't on.

1958
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 2: Some niggas, You're like, look out, you ain't that good.

1959
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 21: But it's like he like, he's got there's some giants

1960
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 21: out here, you know that cut hair, do makeup, blah

1961
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 21: blah blah. So he just made sure that everybody in

1962
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 21: every Department was on. And then to go from that

1963
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 21: to my second movie, Too Fast, Too Furious, it was

1964
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:57,840
Speaker 21: just like, wow, got it. He changed my life up

1965
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 21: him man, like I'm talking about I don't even I

1966
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 21: don't even understand.

1967
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 9: Why he had so much in mind for me.

1968
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 21: Man, Yo, you the one he used to always say, Man,

1969
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 21: you were mommy a park, man you, And I couldn't

1970
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,680
Speaker 21: even process that because I think a park the way

1971
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 21: I think a park, uh, the way we all did

1972
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 21: here on the West Coast.

1973
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 2: But it was he just kept saying it.

1974
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 21: And then when I hung out with his mom's one

01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 21: Like everything about hip hop was on the East. So

Speaker 9: Got the roll.

2068
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: I got the audition and it was like come in

2069
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: for Snowfall. And I got there and it was a

2070
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: room of people sitting around like this everybody, and I'm

2071
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sizing up the room like these actors.

2072
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 1: And not to say that in a bad way, but

2073
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: it's like I'm really from that so not in LA

2074
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 1: but from my side. So I'm like, they not gonna

2075
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 1: understand the nuances that is, And this is me being

2076
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I got a delusional sense of confidence right when it

2077
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: comes to some things. So I'm like cool, I go

2078
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 1: into the room, and it's like it's packed. Usually it's

2079
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: just like one cast director associate with the camera is

2080
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: the casting director, is the it's like two of them.

2081
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: It's the director, producers John Singleton all in the rooms

2082
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: lined up right in front of me.

2083
01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 9: Well, this is it.

2084
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: Usually you get a couple of rounds and they tell

2085
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:42,760
Speaker 1: you they like they get they tell you what they like,

2086
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 1: and they give your notes and then you finally see

2087
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: the director producer. It was all in one one scene.

2088
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:51,280
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, cool, and I did my

2089
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: version of man Boy, and my version of man Boar

2090
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 1: is much like you see on the on the screen

2091
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at it. I'm like a lot of

2092
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 1: times when it comes to like these dangerous characters, they

2093
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: want you to look dangerous. I can't look dangerous. If

2094
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:09,679
Speaker 1: I go for that, I'm gonna lose off the bat,

2095
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 1: like you know.

2096
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 9: What I mean.

2097
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 2: I can't come in.

2098
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 1: Growling because but I'm also from I'm from that in

2099
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:19,560
Speaker 1: a sense. Why I know, it don't matter what you

2100
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 1: look like. Like if you're trying to scare somebody, you

2101
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: really don't want to do what you say you're gonna

2102
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 1: do you warning them, versus if you want to do it,

2103
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: you inviting them in, so it's just a different energy.

2104
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,640
Speaker 1: So I went in with that and they were like,

2105
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: uh yeah, let's just uh let's let's let's try it again.

2106
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 1: And this time the stakes are high, like these guys

2107
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: could kill you and you need to scare them off,

2108
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: all right, So I do a version of that whatever.

2109
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,600
Speaker 1: I didn't give them vose versions. John Singingson had a

2110
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 1: little back and forth band and with me asking me

2111
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 1: where I was from, and it seemed like he was

2112
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 1: he was he was rocking with.

2113
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 2: Me, so I was like cool.

2114
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: I felt good about it because I was able to

2115
01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: do my version of it, and then I gave him

2116
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 1: their version and THEMN. When I left, I got a

2117
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: call that they had me on hole, which means they

2118
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: like you, but they still trying to make a decision.

2119
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 1: I remember where I was at when I heard.

2120
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:08,960
Speaker 9: I was on hole.

2121
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, getting some food or something,

2122
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:13,760
Speaker 1: and then I don't even remember why I was that

2123
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:15,560
Speaker 1: when I heard I got a call. But I just

2124
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: got to excite it because I knew I knew I

2125
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: had it in my bag. I was like, this is

2126
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna be easy for me. But I also know what

2127
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: it could do for my perception because coming from Vine,

2128
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: people saw him as like the silly dude, the goofy dude,

2129
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 1: or safe and a lot of times people don't go

2130
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: from you know, it's hard to change your perception. So

2131
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 1: I got to go so far right that they were like, Okay,

2132
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 1: even if they meet me somewhere in the middle, they

2133
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 1: still gonna take me serious. And the great thing about

2134
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: this show is I got a few episodes to sell

2135
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,639
Speaker 1: them because my first episode they weren't working with me still.

2136
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,480
Speaker 1: They was calling me Braxton from from the Jamie.

2137
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 32: B.

2138
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:55,599
Speaker 2: They was like, oh, they killed it show.

2139
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 1: They got this goofy nigga from Vine. This ain't gonna work.

2140
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 11: But by like it was.

2141
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 1: It was bad And Brackston did a movie where he

2142
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: played a gagster one time too, and it was me,

2143
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, but three episodes in, I was able

2144
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: to sell most of the show.

2145
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 9: But you was a fan of the show before it

01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 1: added him and he hit me back. I was like, oh,

01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

2163
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 9: Man.

2164
01:44:55,439 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 1: I used to watch it, but I'm like, I appreciate it, bro.

2165
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 1: And I happened to run into him in London. I

2166
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,599
Speaker 1: was in London around the same time I lied about

2167
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:09,439
Speaker 1: that audition the basketball foot it, and I ran to

2168
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: him at a random party. I was like, Yo, that's crazy.

2169
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: It's it's like kind of synchronicity, you know what I mean.

2170
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: So when I got the audition, I felt like I

2171
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,120
Speaker 1: was prepared for it. I knew the show, I knew

2172
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 1: the world. I knew what I wanted to do in it,

2173
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:23,560
Speaker 1: so when I got a call, it was just like,

2174
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 1: all right, there's go time.

2175
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 12: Two questions, what does it take to get into the

2176
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 12: character man boy? And did you have any input on

2177
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 12: the way you dressed?

2178
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 9: Yeah? So appreciate it, Yeah yeah, dope boy fresh.

2179
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:39,719
Speaker 1: So whenever it comes to wardrobe, I'm a stickler for wardrobe.

2180
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 1: Like I never go back and forth with anybody. I

2181
01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:45,600
Speaker 1: always get people their creative liberty to you know, to

2182
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 1: put their thoughts into stuff, and I kind of go

2183
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: for it. But when it comes to wardrobe, especially something

2184
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 1: that I feel like I'm familiar with, and even if

2185
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm gonna do the research. I'm gonna I'm

2186
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna put my my I'm gonna be vocal about it

2187
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,640
Speaker 1: because I think wardrobe is important because you seen me

2188
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: before you hear me. And if I'm supposed to be

2189
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 1: cool and I look like a lame, you ain't gonna

2190
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 1: believe nothing ourselve. So it's like if you believe if

2191
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 1: what somebody says just it's just said a lot about them,

2192
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You sell a story before

2193
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 1: before you even tell it about what you're wearing. So

2194
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 1: I was big on the wardrobe, so yeah, I had

2195
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: and put on that. And as far as getting into

2196
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: the character, it's just it was a ship for perspective

2197
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: mistakes for me. So every role I do is gonna

2198
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: be a version of me at some point in my

2199
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:32,840
Speaker 1: life with different circumstances, you know what I mean. So, man,

2200
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 1: boy was it was kind of like a like that

2201
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 1: fairy tale if any kid that grew up in the hood,

2202
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 1: because of what's around you, you kind of got some

2203
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 1: type of ambitions to be like I could be that,

2204
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 1: especially the movies I watch growing up. It's only watched

2205
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: gangster movies. Like my favorite movie was Juice. I'm watching

2206
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: that when I'm like eight or not, you know what

2207
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, And I'm looking up to Bishop so Is

2208
01:46:57,200 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: and then just being said, what what you say?

2209
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 9: You didn'tet the Juice.

2210
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: See, and I ain't look at him. It's like I

2211
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: want to be him. I'm like, no, I want to

2212
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 1: do this, But I wouldn't have missed when I'm cha

2213
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,439
Speaker 1: chasing Queue through the through the park this nigga s

2214
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,360
Speaker 1: I was terrible. But yeah, and then just kind of

2215
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:23,080
Speaker 1: being being around there growing up, I was very observant

2216
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, these niggas moving like this, they should move

2217
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 1: like that. If I was to do this, I wouldn't

2218
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 1: get caught. And it's like a delusional confidence. But at

2219
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: the same time, I knew, like they still here. This

2220
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 1: ain't this is a deady it like, I ain't about

2221
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: to do that, Like and the last thing I ever

2222
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 1: wanted to be paranoid, So I never chose that life

2223
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 1: in a way, but in my mind, I'm like, I

2224
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 1: could do it, and I would really be like him,

2225
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:48,280
Speaker 1: Like that's just my mindset, so be able to do snowfall.

2226
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is my opportunity to really do that

2227
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 1: and to move how I feel like I wouldn't move,

2228
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, just to change the ship. For perspective, it

2229
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: becomes fun at that point. Yeah, knew you that, So

2230
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: it's just like perspected, like, come on, man, I really

2231
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 1: know who you are. You a little nit what we're doing,

2232
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:13,680
Speaker 1: how we're moving So uh.

2233
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, your girls crack head talking to everybody off.

2234
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:21,040
Speaker 1: Like so the only thing you got to do at

2235
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 1: that point is just figure out the dialect. And it's

2236
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,720
Speaker 1: just living that space and the mannerisms because l a

2237
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 1: different and feelings. Uh, I think it got. I think

2238
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: the dialect got better throughout, and the mannerisms came kind

2239
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 1: of easy because I didn't watch enough movies. I didn't

2240
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 1: watch minutes, and it's it's such a it's a it's

2241
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: a period piece, so it's eighties, so it's.

2242
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 6: It's obvious.

2243
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 1: It's how you stand, it's how you walk. It's kind

2244
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 1: of common crum in the sense, but it works period.

2245
01:48:54,240 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 1: That stang from Grant like ran out final characters, and

2246
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,880
Speaker 1: I play that game forever, so a lot of it's

2247
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:07,799
Speaker 1: still kind of you know ingrained, but I definitely modeled

2248
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,559
Speaker 1: a lot of my dialect off of what Franklin was doing. Yeah,

2249
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: and then also I'm from the South, and a lot

2250
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 1: of people in LA in the eighties they families migrated

2251
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: up from the South. So it still got that twin

2252
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: to it. If you listen to Snoop, he got a

2253
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 1: lot of that twin.

2254
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 9: Ye the older it's Snoop's birthday, by the way, Happy birthday.

2255
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:25,719
Speaker 1: Oh shit, happy birthday.

2256
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 9: He came.

2257
01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 1: He came to second a couple of times.

2258
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 9: Did he?

2259
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 32: Yeah?

2260
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, So just say outside hanging out with the crew,

2261
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 12: outside being on camera, do man boy come out?

2262
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a part of me. But at

2263
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 1: the same time, state saint is high. I ain't in

2264
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: the ain't in a drug game where somebody trying to

2265
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 1: kill me over the back. And also I'm a lot

2266
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 1: older than what Man Boy is too, So I definitely

2267
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 1: had dumb moments when I was a kid. When I

2268
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: was younger, you know what I mean, thinking you bulletproof,

2269
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 1: but you know, at my.

2461
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 33: for five ten years and couldn't do what you did

2462
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 33: in that second.

2463
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:47,840
Speaker 9: I'm telling it like that can't do it, dude.

2464
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 33: I've gone to auditions and I walked in and I'm

2465
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 33: looking and guys looking at me and looking around, and

2466
01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 33: I'm like, oh man, I'm gonna get this, and then

2467
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 33: Terry Crews.

2468
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 2: Will walk in.

2469
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 33: I would walk out because I was Terry's gonna get

2470
01:58:59,920 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 33: there and he would get every single role.

2471
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 9: But I loved that.

2472
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 33: To me, that was the closest I got to basketball

2473
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 33: as that competition. Going to work with my acting coach,

2474
01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 33: Ivana Chubbick, who was the greatest, work with her, get

2475
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 33: something and then go and do a piece, and whether

2476
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 33: I got it or not, I'm thinking, well I killed

2477
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 33: that one.

2478
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 9: They should have picked me.

2479
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 33: Like when I did Sneakarella, they told me it was

2480
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 33: Kevin Garnett and A Marie Startedmy and all these other people.

2481
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 33: I was like, you gotta be kidding me. I'm about

2482
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:34,080
Speaker 33: to go and kill this piece. It took me like

2483
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 33: three days to work on it and then I just

2484
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 33: had to relax. But in acting, man, the cool thing

2485
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 33: about acting is you're playing a character. And I just

2486
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 33: heard Denzel Washington say that one time, and so I

2487
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 33: never walked in as John Sally, so I have no

2488
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:57,640
Speaker 33: ego with the role. I remember they were talking about

2489
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:01,120
Speaker 33: Will Smith playing in Six Degrees of Separate rac and

2490
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 33: Will said his biggest mistake was he didn't go.

2491
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:07,720
Speaker 9: Full.

2492
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 33: He didn't do exactly as the strip said, because he

2493
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 33: was more worried about being Will Smith than the character.

2494
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 33: But then you run into Halle Barry and Monster Ball,

2495
02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 33: who wasn't Halle Barry. She was the character. And when

2496
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:26,640
Speaker 33: you give in to being the character, greatness that the great.

2497
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:30,240
Speaker 33: You're right, the great stuff happens. Jamie Fox, like y'all have.

2498
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 33: Kevin hart On, I love Kevin Hart. Kevin hard is

2499
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:36,160
Speaker 33: my favorite entertainer right now because he's doing more than

2500
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 33: just acting.

2501
02:00:37,880 --> 02:00:40,880
Speaker 12: He's being an entertainer and I love that about it.

2502
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:44,160
Speaker 12: What has been your favorite role? Do you love playing yourself?

2503
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 12: While playing with Fletcher you played? I love playing Fletcher.

2504
02:00:47,080 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 33: So in LA's Finest with Gabrielle Union and Jessica Albert.

2505
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 33: I got to play Fletcher on LA's Finance I think

2506
02:00:57,280 --> 02:01:02,600
Speaker 33: seven times. So I love playing a character because I

2507
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,160
Speaker 33: literally can take it as far as I want because

2508
02:01:05,160 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 33: it has nothing to do with me. And I tell

2509
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:11,720
Speaker 33: anybody want to act be the character. When you and

2510
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:16,680
Speaker 33: I did what was that show London? Yeah, on BT

2511
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:18,720
Speaker 33: We don't remember the name of the show, but we

2512
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:22,000
Speaker 33: sitting there something, yeah, the game and we were sitting

2513
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:24,920
Speaker 33: there and you were like, we got notes. I was like, no,

2514
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 33: let's just will know when the camera's on when they

2515
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:30,560
Speaker 33: tell us the cameras on us. Let's just act like

2516
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 33: something we heard or scene.

2517
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:34,840
Speaker 9: And it's going in your brain.

2518
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 33: Just make sure you hit the marks and you watch

2519
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,839
Speaker 33: and like you hear Jamie Fox sitting around talking about

2520
02:01:43,080 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 33: when they're on set and there's Leonardo DiCaprio and this

2521
02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:50,360
Speaker 33: Samuel Jackson and just watching guys go through there, A

2522
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:52,120
Speaker 33: great movie to watch is Once upon a.

2523
02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 9: Time in Hollywood. That is how this acting thing is.

2524
02:01:56,880 --> 02:01:59,040
Speaker 12: It's it's you want to get out and every time

2525
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 12: you watch it, you So I should have done it again.

2526
02:02:00,800 --> 02:02:03,000
Speaker 9: I should have done. I should have done this. I

2527
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:03,480
Speaker 9: don't like that.

2528
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:06,480
Speaker 33: So I go in my and if I know we're

2529
02:02:06,520 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 33: going to shoot it, and how many times we're going

2530
02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:10,960
Speaker 33: to shoot it, I know when the camera's over here,

2531
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 33: that's my POV. When the camera and I'm giving it

2532
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,400
Speaker 33: to you every single time the way I want it

2533
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 33: to come out, and when I look back, like I

2534
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 33: love Sneakerrella because in my brain it's on Disney plus.

2535
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 9: Uh.

2536
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:27,320
Speaker 33: In my brain, even though I was playing an X

2537
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 33: ball player, that's how I think the character would have acted.

2538
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:32,120
Speaker 9: So it was easy.

2539
02:02:32,240 --> 02:02:35,320
Speaker 12: Somebody who's starting to act in like myself for other people,

2540
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:37,040
Speaker 12: and they're actually for some advice, what would you What

2541
02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:37,480
Speaker 12: would you do.

2542
02:02:40,120 --> 02:02:44,000
Speaker 33: When you get on set when when it's your turn

2543
02:02:44,080 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 33: on set, that's your turn. When it's not your turn, watch,

2544
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:52,040
Speaker 33: sit with the camera guys, sit with the focused pullers.

2545
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:58,160
Speaker 33: Don't touch anybody, don't give anybody hugs, bounce everybody.

2546
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 12: That's a that's a hint for now. Just because a

2547
02:03:01,080 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 12: hug chick may have a bad day, he touched me wrong.

2548
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 33: Bound to everybody, Respect everybody, but literally know everybody's job.

2549
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 33: So like your cameramen here are terrible. But besides these

2550
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 33: horrible cameramen. There's some really good ones. Now we'll ask

2551
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:20,960
Speaker 33: them questions like why is that a seventeen? Why is

2552
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:22,760
Speaker 33: that thirty five? What's that one?

2553
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:23,200
Speaker 9: Shooting?

2554
02:03:24,720 --> 02:03:26,920
Speaker 33: Danny de Vito, Man, it's been a friend of mine

2555
02:03:27,080 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 33: since I got to Hollywood. He let me come watch

2556
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 33: him direct and he had three cameras working at a

2557
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:35,120
Speaker 33: time in a movie, which is they didn't do that

2558
02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:39,000
Speaker 33: a lot, and I had to watch him control all

2559
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 33: at peace. Then when I was shooting Eddie Whoopy Goldberg,

2560
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:48,919
Speaker 33: we shot that in North Carolina. They watched the dailies

2561
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:53,400
Speaker 33: that night before they sent them out. After shooting fourteen

2562
02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:55,760
Speaker 33: sixteen hours, they go back and watch what they shot.

2563
02:03:55,840 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 33: I went sat and watched them. They well, why are

2564
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:01,360
Speaker 33: you watching dailies? I was like to see if I'm

2565
02:04:01,360 --> 02:04:06,440
Speaker 33: gonna get better as this movie goes on. And there's

2566
02:04:06,640 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 33: great writers. When the writers are sitting around and you

2567
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:11,360
Speaker 33: see them in the writing room and you keep seeing

2568
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:15,320
Speaker 33: the script change. Go in the writer's room, like ask

2569
02:04:15,400 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 33: them what they're thinking about because you might get more

2570
02:04:17,480 --> 02:04:20,920
Speaker 33: lines too, especially if they think they're writing for you,

2571
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:22,280
Speaker 33: and this is how you would deliver it.

2572
02:04:23,120 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 9: The script is a living thing.

2573
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 12: You may have one line in the beginning of the movie,

2574
02:04:27,840 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 12: and if they see that you're a character, you might

2575
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 12: end up with way more lines.

2576
02:04:32,200 --> 02:04:33,920
Speaker 9: So it's competition too.

2577
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 33: Don't think it's not you competing against every other actor there,

2578
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:39,360
Speaker 33: whether they want you to believe that or not.

2579
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 12: And this job is only an audition for your next job.

2580
02:04:45,120 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 12: You told me you got some stuff from me too,

2581
02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 12: I do. I got a movie for you that I'm excited.

2582
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 12: And that's another thing. I always think movies. I love

2583
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 12: sports movies, but I like movies that literally take you

2584
02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:02,280
Speaker 12: out of what we're known to do. Just like like,

2585
02:05:02,400 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 12: that's why I love Kanye because he improved. He said,

2586
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 12: I can be a designer. I don't have to just

2587
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 12: be a rap star. I can be I can be

2588
02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:10,440
Speaker 12: a rock star and a designer.

2589
02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 9: I like that piece. H mm hmm.
