1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, mm hmmm.

2
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back all the smoke, day two.

3
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: On camera. Man.

4
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: That was before we said wrong camera. But Jack has

5
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: been a good two days.

6
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 4: Man.

7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: We gotta we got a king here, sir, one of

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 3: the one of one of the best to ever do it. Man,

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: someone I really look up to, you know, I like

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: to to, you know, dabble in the in the political space.

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: And this is something that someone that I that I

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: really look up to and follow because he keeps himself

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: educated and on the front line.

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: Not a not a not a not afraid to apologize

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: for mistakes, which is rare. Some motherfuckers will say some

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: stuff and then it didn't work and then no matter

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: right or wrong. I've seen this brother come out and say, hey,

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: I was wrong, and that takes to me a lot

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: of courage on.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 5: My white thing I'm going to do to everybody. I'm like,

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 5: I'm not wrong about.

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 6: Everybody, and I'm always everybody thought I was talking to

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 6: every woman I was.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: Didn't on you.

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show Man, one of the kings of

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: comedy d l hugely.

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: They appreciate you, my brother, thank you.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 7: But on that note, think they thought I was apologized

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 7: for everything, everything.

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: Most of the ship.

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: I said, I'm standing on.

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: The joke and that's up to you to decide for me.

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 7: When you were wrong somebody in a way where it

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 7: takes flight like I was, I was pretty the.

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: Spread obviously we're talking about.

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I was.

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 7: I was somebody that was complicit because I believe like

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 7: a lot of people believe. And it was only when

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 7: we had a conversation and she asked me to do

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 7: the simplest thing was to look before I started talking,

42
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 7: and that was that was the impetus of the apology.

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 7: But to me, I care about one. I care about.

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 7: Politics are like a tool. To me, ain't no different

45
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 7: than a hammer or or a nail or wrench. It is,

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 7: how can because everything you ask for is uh any.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 7: All the things that we would want accomplished are going

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 7: to happen through the political apparatus. You can't ask for

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 7: some marching. You know you're marching for effect. You're boycotting

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 7: for an effect, and that is to put pressure on

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 7: political fingers to the figures to act.

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: So it's not it's not just some folly For me,

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: I want.

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 7: What I want is the world that's better for my

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 7: for my people and and to me, whoever has the

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 7: best and I'm not that's not transit, and I think

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 7: it isn't purely transacting. But but for me, the ultimate

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 7: goal is to have the world better look better for

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 7: the people behind me than the people in front of me.

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: People in front of me, they haven't already made, they

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 5: they already had.

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Do you have?

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: I mean obviously speaking on it and being on the front,

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: do you have any aspirations of being a political figure?

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 5: I like pussy and liquor too much? Did you do

66
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: it twice? Yeah?

67
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 7: I don't, And I think but now that the paradigm

68
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 7: has moved so much, I mean we got I mean

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 7: this dude, this is the president was in court with

70
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 7: a whole.

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 5: Testifying against him.

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 7: Now, I'm not against paying the hooker off never, but

73
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 7: I ain't never paid one to keep their mouth shut.

74
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: No, I ain't never done that. He wrote a check

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 5: for who is that? Stormy? Is that? I? E h? Y?

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: Who does like?

77
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Like?

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: So?

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 7: I think the barometer is different, But ultimately, as a nation,

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 7: the one thing I was relieved about about the selection

81
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 7: process is there's no guessing anymore about what this country is.

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: It's clear you remember how these you had these dudes

83
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: in your neighborhood.

84
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 7: They were fuck up all the time, and the mother

85
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 7: would spend their time praying and when they told when

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 7: she got told they was in jail or dead, she

87
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 7: would go, at least I know where he is. That

88
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 7: was a relief to them. At least I know where

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 7: this country is. I ain't got to pretend no more,

90
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 7: and it knows where it is. So that is like

91
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 7: when I would suck up in school and they would

92
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 7: tell my mother everything I did. I had to worry

93
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 7: no more because now I know, And I think it

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 7: is a freeing feeling to know exactly and nobody gets

95
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 7: an unvarnished truth where this nation is.

96
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: I think I know you do this because again you're

97
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: explaining why this is in your heart. And he uses

98
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: as a tool to the advancement of our people. But

99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: what do you think about the people and the people

100
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: who critique athletes or celebrities or comedians or whatever vain

101
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: they want to put us in that speak on stuff

102
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 3: that literally affects all of us, but for some reason

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: we're not allowed to speak right in some people's.

104
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 7: That went out the window when the game show host

105
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 7: became the leader of the free world and talk about it.

106
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 7: That's not I mean, here's the thing, because the greatest

107
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 7: the only time they ever listen to black people is

108
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 7: where we're singing, dancing, running or jumping.

109
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 5: Only time when when do you you ever?

110
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 7: And that is why for oftentimes when the nation looks

111
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 7: at distractions, and we are generally at the center of

112
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 7: that distraction through athletic prowess or through entertainment, the only

113
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 7: time they're ever gonna hear us. Look at the greatest

114
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: people in the world who moved needles. It wasn't it

115
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 7: was Muhammad Ali. It was it was athletes, the athletes,

116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 7: actors and artists, people with the with the attention on

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 7: them that changed perspectives.

118
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: Motown changed the sixties.

119
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 7: It wasn't people, you know, marching, It was sounds and

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 7: it was sights, and it was it was people risking

121
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 7: things and people that they respected from an athletic perspective.

122
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 7: So it was the Jim Brown's and all those people

123
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 7: that changed America's mind. And it was because the only

124
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 7: time they hear us is when we're doing something.

125
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: They like, I don't want this to be a completely

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: political conversation.

127
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Were here where we're at now? So what what what?

128
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: What is your? What do we do?

129
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 5: Moving forward? We're gonna make it.

130
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 7: Listen, when the world end, it's gonna be two things

131
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 7: and have niggas and roaches. For sure, they're gonna be

132
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 7: left left nothing that they're doing. Have we not seen

133
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 7: in some kind of iteration facts nothing so as much

134
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 7: as a and the funny thing, I'm a sixty year old,

135
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 7: wealthy black man. I wouldn't vote nothing. I ain't gonna

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 7: have no abortion, I ain't gonna get nobody. I would

137
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 7: say this, Mexican, enjoy your next two weeks for because

138
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 7: it's gonna be.

139
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: It's gonna be.

140
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a lot of white janitors on the

141
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 7: twenty first. I know that white people better learn this word, fabuloso.

142
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 7: Learn that.

143
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: Kat Williams in twenty twenty four kind of set the

144
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: tone and opened up Pandora's box and we had a crazy, crazy.

145
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four.

146
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: We're in a world of exposing or trying to expose

147
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: or you know, stuff we knew about now that people

148
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: were okay with we're not okay with now. That's just

149
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: a lot of kind of cleansing somewhat you want to say,

150
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: due do you expect that tradition to carry on.

151
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 7: Well, I think now we're in everybody who's in trouble.

152
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 7: Now that they got what they got Bill Cosby, r

153
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 7: Kelly and Diddy, they don't fucked around the rest of

154
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 7: the nineties. If you've ever been on nickd Night, you

155
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 7: going to jail. But look at who those men were

156
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 7: raised by. Look at what the influences they saw. We

157
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 7: used to grow up. We saw a general hospital, had

158
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 7: Luke and Lord. Luke rape Lord and then married her.

159
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 7: We had Pebby Lapew. He was a stalker. So we

160
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 7: were raised by predatory men wrapped up in a boat.

161
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 7: Those men were raised by them. Those men were mentored

162
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 7: by men who were raised by worse men, and then

163
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 7: they thought they could do it.

164
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 5: But what happened is the time change. What happened is things.

165
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 7: Look at all those people in trouble, look at what

166
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 7: their upbringing, I look at their influences. Look who they

167
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 7: were raised and mentor by. Look at who they were

168
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 7: influenced by. You can't be shocked at the results.

169
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 3: Some of these same people. You know you throw Diddy

170
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: in there. They're the accusations allegedly about jay Z that

171
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: we grew.

172
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: Up on in in kind of shaped rure.

173
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: Ways of living, ways of thinking are now under the

174
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: magnifying glass. Why do you think, in your opinion, it's

175
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: only the black heroes that are under fire when you

176
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: look at the Abercamie and Fitch group who did similar

177
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: things to what did he did?

178
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: Did he allege for?

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: But we're in and out and they're not even talked about.

180
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: Well.

181
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 7: I think Jeffrey Epstein would argue differently. I think Roger

182
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 7: Els would argue, argue differently. I think there are any

183
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 7: number of white men who've lost their position. I think

184
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 7: it is a nation shame. Look slavery was always wrong,

185
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 7: but people accepted it. What they were doing was always wrong.

186
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 7: It's wrong to take something against somebody's will, but just

187
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 7: because it's involved on me, it's right. And I think

188
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,239
Speaker 7: that it's a misnomber to say that Jeffrey Estein's in

189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 7: jail right now and he's as rich and powerful as

190
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 7: you come. And I think the comparison of they get

191
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 7: to do it, and I think Epstein Epstein the kid

192
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: from Harvey Weinstein weinstin. But I think my the thing

193
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 7: the argument is they get to do it, we should

194
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 7: do I think that My argument is we should all

195
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 7: see the same kinds of sentences, we should all be

196
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 7: the same kind of pariahs in society. But you can't

197
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 7: tell me how serious you are about a men's conduct

198
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 7: and then vote for a rapist or some adjudicated rapists.

199
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 7: You can't tell me that you're serious about that. So

200
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 7: for that aspect, I understand where a nation who when

201
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 7: we talk about crime like I heard now there are

202
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 7: people in these retailers are now raising everything to nine

203
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty in California, raising some all of the

204
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 7: isles and nine hundred and fifty one dollars.

205
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 5: It's make to the felony.

206
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 7: The number one cause of theft in the retail isn't shoplifters,

207
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 7: it's it's cashiers. It's people to work in the stock.

208
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 7: But what they do is they tried us out. Like

209
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 7: every time they bust one of them them them rings,

210
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 7: it's always a white lady in Napa or San Diego.

211
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 7: But we we are the picture of it, right, I think.

212
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 7: And when we talk about crime, we always talk about

213
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 7: blue collar crimes, not white collar crimes. Every niggat that

214
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 7: every robbed anything everywhere, wouldn't add up to one act,

215
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 7: one Ponzi scheme, one mortgage crisis. But we are constantly

216
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 7: the kind of the face stay hold up, you can't

217
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 7: tell me you gonna be tough on crime and then

218
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 7: you got to court date next month.

219
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 5: That just don't don't work.

220
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 3: Any truth that you refuse to do club? Yes, was

221
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: there a reason behind that?

222
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 7: Because I think that, and I've said this openly, I

223
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 7: think that the reason that many of those men went

224
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 7: on that show is because skip shit on him, skip

225
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 7: shit on Shannon in a way that made most black

226
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 7: men go, fuck that, We're gonna make sure this brother.

227
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 7: But then those very men were now all of a

228
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 7: sudden the subject of ridicule. And then an art form

229
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 7: I loved was tried it out week after week because

230
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 7: it was in vogue and Shae Shay is a great platform,

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 7: But it ain't the arbiter of truth. I ain't never

232
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 7: known a club where they told the truth at.

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: Like.

234
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 7: I ain't never known one club like it ain't. It

235
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 7: ain't a bench, it ain't a bible. It became a

236
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 7: thing where it was this arbiter of all that was wrong.

237
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 7: Now I know everyone. I love Cat. I think Cat

238
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 7: is an Andrew I think he's one of the most

239
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 7: talented human beings I've ever seen, saying I love I know,

240
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 7: said and Skip, and I said, and Steve, I know Earthquake.

241
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 7: I know all those men, and though I have a

242
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 7: decidedly different experience with them, but I thought they are

243
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 7: I thought, in terms of my perspective of club Say

244
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 7: in its initial iteration, that was it was It's an

245
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 7: art form. I loved that now was being trotted out

246
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 7: and splayed out, and I thought it was misrepresented, like

247
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 7: it would be like somebody telling you how shitty basketball was.

248
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: You know.

249
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 5: I love this art form.

250
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 7: It took me from places that I never thought I

251
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 7: would go to singing sitting in front of kings and queens.

252
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 7: So I have a different perspective of it, and I

253
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 7: thought that to me was something that I just That's

254
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 7: why I draw the line at for me.

255
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: For me, you can do whatever you want. When you

256
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: called me, I came right right away. I was surprised,

257
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: like I hit him, he said, yeah, right away.

258
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: Of people like why you.

259
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 7: Fuck with black black because I like him, I'm gonna

260
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 7: fuck with I'm never gonna explain to somebody or justify

261
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 7: somebody why I do anything.

262
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 5: I do what I want to do. I'm not gonna

263
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: tell you where you going, Nigga.

264
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 7: When my father asked my you have rest, your family

265
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 7: were going Nigga to see a man about adult I.

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: Wish I would I was a famous line or a horse.

267
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: And we never got none of it.

268
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 7: But you to me, to me, there are things that

269
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 7: I sparked to agree with, like or dislike.

270
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 5: I don't know.

271
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 7: I think that what he's doing. He was actually my

272
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 7: favorite football player. But but I think the iteration of that,

273
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 7: the way that that came about, and the harm I

274
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 7: saw it cost people I love in an art form

275
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 7: I love, made me go, you know what, that's not

276
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 7: the thing I need to do.

277
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: I know, comedy, like sports, has always been in competitive space,

278
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: but now it's feels like there's more beef.

279
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 7: But that's not a listen. The Kings of Comedy was

280
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 7: at one point was the greatest tour that ever existed.

281
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 7: We used to have a clause.

282
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 5: It was a thousand dollars for every minute.

283
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 7: You went off right, because you know, you go to

284
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 7: these union buildings and they have these hard houts. You know,

285
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 7: we never raised one thousand dollars because everybody respect everybody

286
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 7: time was it was, it was that I think He's

287
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 7: a comedy started was the birthplace of all of these

288
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 7: things we now see. And it was an exercise of

289
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 7: black men working in a cohesive way, all loving each other.

290
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 4: All.

291
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 5: Now, I am not saying we didn't have problems.

292
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 7: I'm not under saying people didn't argue, But I am

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 7: saying that it did so much. It was transformative, and

294
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 7: so much that was good. And to see it reduced

295
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 7: to this was a little bit too much for me.

296
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 8: Paint the picture of your upbringing in South Central ended

297
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 8: up getting here into a gang culture.

298
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 7: Well, I I don't think, how do you grow up

299
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 7: one hundred thirty fifth and Bavalane and not and not

300
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 7: and and.

301
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 5: You know that's what how do you?

302
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 7: You're a product of your environment and and and this

303
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 7: is the caveat. I would say black men are judged

304
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 7: by the exception, not the rule.

305
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: M M.

306
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 7: The people that made it as supposed to be the

307
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 7: most people are going to succumb to the streets, most

308
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 7: people in that environment. But then you hold the predicate

309
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 7: is well, l he did it. Why can't you a

310
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 7: roles can go through concrete that that doesn't mean it's

311
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 7: fertile ground. Right, most of us made it out and lucky.

312
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 7: And what what is it while we here? Cause we

313
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 7: had a skill set, we had a blessing, a extra

314
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 7: something that they didn't have.

315
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: It wasn't you.

316
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 7: They could have been just as tall, athletic of you,

317
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 7: or just as m you know, tenations as you, or

318
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 7: just as funny as me. Right, we had something they did.

319
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 7: And now the rest of our communities are judged by

320
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 7: our gifts, and that, to me is a is a

321
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 7: standard that is so hypocritical.

322
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 5: I can't.

323
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 7: I think every person has the right to live a

324
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 7: good life as an average human being.

325
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 5: But we can only live a good life and we're exceptional.

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

327
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: Like I was in I was in a seat one time.

328
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: It was in first class.

329
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 7: It was me and it was Donald Glover and it

330
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 7: was a football player and uh, these uh, these white

331
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 7: people got on the playing they go, you guys must be famous.

332
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 5: And he got mad.

333
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 7: I'm like, Nikka, we all famous. What are you talking about?

334
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 7: What I sit in close?

335
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: First class? I made glow that curtain because I don't

336
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: like all that suffering. Going back, Why does this Margarita

337
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 5: says so good?

338
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 7: Because the salt is made from the tears of the

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 7: coach pastors this crash.

340
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: Were you a big showtime Lakers fan?

341
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 5: I was, of course, James Worthy is my favorite.

342
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 7: Player, James A. You're Worthy from Gastonia, North Carolina. But

343
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 7: but I was a Laker fan, which is really weird

344
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 7: now because now basketball in general is people trying to

345
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 7: form voltrot m like it is like, but like, I'm

346
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 7: not a Nugget fan. But I liked that they stayed

347
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 7: together even though we're losing and finally won. I like

348
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 7: when Milwaukee did it. I like the Golden State has

349
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 7: done it. They won in an iteration of everybody had

350
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 7: been written off for a couple of years.

351
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: They got together, stayed together.

352
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 7: But I think the NBA, now it's so transactional in

353
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 7: terms of let's do it now, let's get together and

354
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 7: we can do it now. The net the Knicks used

355
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 7: to try to do that. I mean, just give me.

356
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 7: The Yankees used to try to it never worked. But

357
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 7: I loved the Lakers. We drafted Worthy, we drafted Magic,

358
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 7: we got Kareem we drafted Byron Scott, we drafted Derek Fisher,

359
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 7: we drafted those, we drafted Kobe Bryant, so as as

360
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 7: I grew up here, when I watched them become with there,

361
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 7: I remember when he was missing all them shots. And

362
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 7: he's done something that I very rarely see anybody else do.

363
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 7: He won without his nucleus. Jordan never won without Pippin

364
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 7: Bird Ain't never won without those he said he won.

365
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 7: He won two champions in the row with two people.

366
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 7: I'm not what people want. I'm not sure at first battle.

367
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 7: Hall of Famous, I know because Hall of Maaker. What

368
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,600

369
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer?

370
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 7: No, so when you watch somebody, When I watched Kareem

371
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 7: and I watched wil Chamberlain, and I watched Jerry Weston,

372
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 7: I watched uh h, Kobe Bryant become these things, and

373
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 7: he nurtured the city. I remember you in here with

374
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 7: the bat. I mean, I watched all that happen.

375
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: So now.

376
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 7: In l A, to me, it's Dodgers, and now you're

377
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: gonna get mad. It's Dodgers, USC. I know, I know,

00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 7: I know it's Dodgers USC and Lakers.

379
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: Have you ever been to the Forum Club a couple

380
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 4: of times? In experience?

381
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: No experience, but I watched I was like, God, damn

382
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 7: I watched, you know what. The reason I'll never worry

383
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 7: there are things that I knew that were past me,

384
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 7: Like I ain't never got to worry about my name

385
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 7: getting called up in a puffy party.

386
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: Never.

387
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,120

Speaker 7: how to go home early, that's a gift. That's the

392
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 7: best ship in the world.

393
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: That's a gift.

394
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: I was in Detroit one time.

Speaker 4: Game banger?

407
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 7: I got expelled from school because I was always the

408
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 7: last nigga picked for a game and the first one

409
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 7: picked for a fight. I was always a and the

410
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 7: and the and the predicate was the same. I want

411
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 7: to win, so I decided I'm gonna make it harder

412
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: for you to win.

413
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: When and I didn't win.

414
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 7: A lot, but I fought a lot, I was like, hey, nigga,

415
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 7: this ain't all right now. Every time you walk around

416
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: this corner, all right, God, if God wanted me to lose,

417
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 7: he wouldn't have made so many bricks.

418
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 5: That's where the god was.

419
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Man.

420
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, imagine fighting a dude who will fight you every

421
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 5: time you see you. That's a lot, even though you

422
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: know you're gonna win.

423
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 7: You like, nigga, I got my mama here. I just

424
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 7: I got school clothes on. I just I'm hanging out

425
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 7: talking to this girl. No, nigga, were gonna do this

426
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 7: every time. I think that the kids these days get

427
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 7: to be more whimsical than we were.

428
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: When you grew up.

429
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 7: The only time you see saw a black man smile

430
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 7: when he was around men he trusted.

431
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 5: Never you never saw them smile outside of the environment.

432
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 7: They smiled in the environment, and they smiled what they

433
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 7: smiled when they were certain that their smile wouldn't be

434
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 7: misperceived as weakness. They didn't smile in any other environment

435
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 7: but the ones, but they knew that they trusted the

436
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 7: people they were talking. And I think that this and

437
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 7: that's not a good thing. I'm not saying that this

438
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 7: a good thing, but I am saying it's a real thing.

439
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 7: And and younger people these days get to be less serious, and.

440
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 5: That's a blessing.

441
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 7: We work hard for them. I want them to be

442
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 7: able to I don't want them to know what I knew.

443
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: But we were a product of an environment that shaped

444
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 7: us to be away and then the world changed.

445
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: Who is your comedy inspirations?

446
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: Robin Harris, Dick Gregory, Robin Harris, Robin Harris, Dick, Gregory,

447
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 7: Red Fox, and Marvin Gay Kids. Marvin Gay painted the

448
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 7: world that was so exact that my children's children's children

449
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 7: were able to sing his word and know exactly what

450
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 7: he saw. And I think that that is artistically what

451
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 7: I would like to accomplish as a as a as

452
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 7: a as an artist.

453
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 8: You know, we all have a welcome to the league

454
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 8: moment when in sports where we you know, we talk

455
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 8: about something that you know that was like, okay, I'm here.

456
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 8: Yeah in comedy, did you ever have like a welcome

457
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 8: to the big stage, welcome to the big leagues moment?

458
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: Well, it's different.

459
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 4: You bombed on stage, you walked up.

460
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: Man, listen, listen.

461
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 7: A cheer and a boom feel exactly the same to

462
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 7: me now, like your body can't tell the difference between

463
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 7: the sneeze and orgasm. It doesn't know the difference. It's

464
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 7: the same thing as the build up, as the climates

465
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 7: of the resolution, all of it. It's the same thing.

466
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 7: What somebody thinks of me is none of my business.

467
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 7: I mean, I get it. I don't like you, I

468
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 7: don't like me. I get it, But yet I have

469
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 7: to be with me, so let's see how it goes.

470
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 7: But I think for me, there is a date certain

471
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 7: you knew that you athletically could do things that other

472
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 7: people could do, and it followed you every level. Maybe

473
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 7: you had to catch up or whatever, but whatever you

474
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 7: did kept you in the league a long long time

475
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 7: because you knew how to do a thing. You could score,

476
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 7: you could defend, you could rebound, you could do whatever

477
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 7: you needed to do. For me, as an artist, I

478
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 7: wasn't bright. I wasn't educated, I wasn't area died, but

479
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 7: I was curious, and so that takes longer.

480
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 5: It takes longer.

481
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 7: I ain't never been hot, but I've been warm a

482
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 7: long time, and that to me is and I feel

483
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: I feel like the man I am now is the

484
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 7: man the little boy I was always wanted to be.

485
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 8: So I'm going to break up these two places and something.

486
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: What you think of them?

487
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 9: Centril Club, that's so la, you know what?

488
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 7: That was the first time I ever saw, like I

489
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 7: grew up in this city, like I would see people

490
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 7: on the prices right going, I'm from La and I

491
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 7: didn't even like I ain't never seen these niggas there,

492
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 7: But it was the first time I saw people that

493
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 7: I knew, you know, like I knew, not that I

494
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 7: knew I had an individual knowledge of them, but I

495
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 7: knew the kinds of people they were. With this aspirational

496
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 7: thing that became like they became the thing that I'd

497
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 7: always heard people could be. And they looked like me,

498
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 7: and they drank the same shit I dred and they

499
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 7: saying the same words I did. So it was the

500
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 7: first time that Hollywood and one hundred and thirty fifth

501
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 7: in Avalon weren't the same proximity Maverick Fletch.

502
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: What was the first time.

503
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: It was?

504
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 7: I thought, my man's you know, the Mavericks Flats I

505
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 7: started the first time I ever picked up a microphone

506
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: was Total Experience, which was not right next to the

507
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: Mavick Flats. But Maverick Flats was our g league. It

508
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 7: was our proving ground. It was our Triple A. And

509
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 7: you know what, there is something to be said for

510
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 7: somebody that can go through it. There are some people

511
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 7: who are immensely talented, but talented being talented it's like

512
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 7: being mister Hole on Gilligan's Island. It don't mean shit

513
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 7: unless you could some of it on demand under pressure.

514
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 7: You could be the baddest motherfucker the world in the

515
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 7: gym or practice, But it don't mean it unless you

516
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 7: can make it happen when the lights is on and

517
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 7: it's in the crucible of batter I don't any goddamn thing.

518
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: We just talked to uh shait Byron Scott about cause

519

528
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 7: the very of black comedy comedies. And they were having

529
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,720

Speaker 7: it so they were having the tries for TA and

531
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: I didn't get a try out.

532
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 5: But what he got me was uh uh, I got

533

Speaker 7: I would bring them people on and do ten minutes

Speaker 7: bringing people do on, do three minutes doing people don't

537
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,480

Speaker 7: a kids, I got a house. I ain't got no skill, nigga,

541
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 7: I'm fear way to make it happen that that was

542
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 7: your break. That was well, see, I've never It's interesting

543
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 7: because if you told, if you asked me what it

544
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 7: is I thought happened, I would tell you that I

545
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 7: woke up s thirty something years later and I'm here,

546
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 7: So I don't remember a specific thing.

547
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: Like that was the epiphany for me.

548
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 7: The only thing I can ever remember is the first

549
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 7: time I picked up a microphone at the Total Experience

550
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 7: for Robin for rober Fans and Blue Magic. The first

551
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 7: time I picked up a microphone, I knew what I

552
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 7: would do for the rest of my life, just like

553
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 7: the first time you pick up a basketball. The first time,

554
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: I knew it, and I knew I would do it

555
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 7: whether people wanted me to do it or not. And

556
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 7: so that has always been if anything, it was the

557
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 7: it was the this is of how I star.

558
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: We just had said on and he got to talking

559
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 3: about stories kind of behind the scenes of Kings of Comedy.

560
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: What was that experience, like, how did you become a

561
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: part of that King group? And and and talk to

562
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: us about it?

563
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 7: Well, I was they were they were in theaters and

564
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 7: then I, uh, they were in theaters and I had

565
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 7: I was on the Hugles on ABC, and I'd worked

566
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 7: with saying Steve forever, uh and Bernie forever, and so

567
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 7: they wanted to go to arena, so they thought they

568
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 7: needed So what they did was they said, well in Houston,

569
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 7: I came on and he said.

570
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

571
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 7: Walter was like, uh, it was everybody got a set price,

572
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 7: but he's gonna try to give me less. I'm like, no, nigga,

573
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 7: I'm not no. You were good, you could. I ain't

574
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 7: gotta do it. So I did it. I crushed in

575
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 7: the rest's history. But I think I never think. You

576
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 7: know how you look at your wedding pictures, or you

577
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 7: look at your wedding albums, or you look at your

578
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 7: high school yearbook, your trophies, and you would never even

579
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 7: look at them unless you were walking by and something

580
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 7: destructure Like I never think about Kings of Comedy.

581
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 5: Unless they bring it up.

582
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 7: So when somebody's for me, what happened with the Kings

583
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 7: of Comedy, it was a tremendous It was one of

584
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 7: the greatest things I'd ever been a part of. But

585
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 7: it's also a part of my life. I don't have

586
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 7: to revisit. I ain't got to keep talk about high school.

587
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 7: I ain't got to keep talking about the girl that

588
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: got away. I ain't got to because I had it.

589
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 7: It was great, But that's like trying to survive of

590
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 7: the foods you already ate. The thing I remember the

591
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 7: most is how I knew that it was something special.

592
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 7: But I remember when we shot The Kings of Comedy.

593
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 7: People don't notice, but I shot a special call going

594
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 7: Home in August. We shot The Kings of Comedy two

595
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 7: months later, three months later, So I had to write

596
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 7: a whole new thirty minutes in a month two months,

597
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 7: and so that's what I remember. So I remember the

598
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 7: day before we shot it, I was I didn't have

599
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 7: any material, so I was talking to Spike Lean that man,

600
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 7: fuck it, you you could do it. So that was

601
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 7: it for me. So it was I didn't have a

602
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 7: All I remember is going around the country doing sets

603
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 7: so that I can put together at thirty minutes.

604
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 5: So and then I saw the movie.

605
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: What is the process of putting something like that together? Like,

606
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: we know we want to work on our game. We're

607
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: gonna work on our game. Get out there, get our

608
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: shots up, run, stay in condition, and then play and

609
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: get better. Like, so what do you like? You said,

610
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 3: that's a short amount of time to put a routine together.

611
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: What is it?

612
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 7: And that it's different because I'm a grown man, so

613
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 7: you know, now I have Now I have a broader

614
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 7: continuum of experiences to draw from. But I think, to me,

615
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 7: the writing process is easier because all I'm here to

616
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 7: do is bear witness. I'm a camera. I don't listen.

617
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: I don't make your mind up. I tell you what

618
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 7: I see. I take the picture, you decide what it is.

619
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 7: But I think when you're younger, you want to prove

620
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 7: things to people. When you're older, you know who you are.

621
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: Don't matter.

622
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 5: I'm a manufacturer. I make red cups.

623
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 7: They don't sell them everywhere, but what they do sell them,

624
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 7: I do good, but they don't.

625
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 5: It ain't none of my business.

626
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: Obviously, Bernie was taken early, but what do you think

627
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: if he would have just got to continue on the

628
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: path he was on, someone who crossed over into Hollywood

629
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: and was doing some other things.

630
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 7: I think everybody does what they supposed to hear to do,

631
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 7: and then I hear no more.

632
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 5: Moses didn't get to go through the premised land.

633
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 7: I've never seen anybody live past it that they're used

634
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 7: by day. Nobody is here any longer than they're supposed

635
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 7: to be, So I don't lamit that I'm glad I

636
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 7: got to see it.

637
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad I got to be here. But when people.

638
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 7: Everybody is exist, whatever you're looking for is looking for you,

639
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 7: and everywhere you're supposed to be, you are. What it

640
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 7: is sad for me is that I always thought I

641
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 7: would have more time. Like I knew Bernie was sick

642
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 7: and I knew what was going on. But I thought,

643
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 7: I'll play this gig and we'll get together. I was

644
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 7: arrogant enough to believe the time would listen to me.

645
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: That's the only regret I have about it. I thought

646
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 7: that I would get to laugh with him again. I

647
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 7: thought same thing with Charlie Murphy. I thought that I

648
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 7: would get to It's an arrogant thing, that's let's not

649
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 7: I thought I would do it my father too, So

650
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 7: it's all these these things that happened. I ain't never

651
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 7: learned the god damn listen. You're supposed to enjoy what

652
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 7: you have right there. But the only thing I regret

653
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 7: about that is not what he would have done, is

654
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 7: that I wasn't. I believe that we would have more

655
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 7: time to make some more memories. And that was a foolish,

656
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 7: arrogant thing to believe.

657
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned Charlie Murphy, you guys have a good relationship.

658
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 5: We had a great relationship.

659
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 7: He's the best story to Charlie Murphy is by far

660
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 7: the best. There hasn't been. The greatest storyteller in history

661
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 7: is Mark Twain. The second greatest teller in history is

662
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 7: Charlie Murphy. That motherfucker told some story. This is how

663
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 7: great Charlie Murphy is. I knew that Nigga had cancer

664
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 7: and I didn't believe he did. I was like everybody's

665
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 7: stomach get that big, like he was that great. He

666
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 7: told stories and he was great. His brother is one

667
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 7: of the greatest entertainers of all time. Charlie had his name,

668
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 7: and he was older, and he carved out his own way,

669
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 7: and he bombed at first, and it was rough at first,

670
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 7: but he became this thing all on his own.

671
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: It wasn't set out for me. He had no silver spoon.

672
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 5: He was just.

673
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 7: He didn't truck anybody else. He was Charlie, Charlie Murphy.

674
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 7: You you say Charlie Murphy in a way that's so

675
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 7: separate from his brother.

676
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 5: Oh?

677
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 7: Absolutely, that's how great is that? That's respect you know

678
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 7: nobody else. You don't see nobody else's.

679
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Kids said, his dad is the bigger. Excuse me, his

680
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: brother's the biggest stars that he was on his own.

681
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 7: Name me another person who got two names at a

682
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 7: great two of them you get one and the other

683
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 7: nigga get a job.

684
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 5: That's it.

685
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: You never really obviously you had the Hugeley show, but

686
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: you never really gravitated towards Hollywood like you could have

687
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: if I think, if you wanted to.

688
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: Was there a reason behind that?

689
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 7: I think, like I said before, you where you're supposed

690
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 7: to be. I do what I love. I do what

691
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 7: I love. I love to get up, say what I

692
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 7: see and and and take what comes.

693
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: So it's a it's it's.

694
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 7: A more frame. Now I'm writing a show now that

695
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 7: we have a deal with a network, and I'm very

696
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 7: proud to do it. But I only want to do

697
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 7: what it is. I want to do, sitcom, what kind

698
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 7: of shows. It's gonna be a sitcom, and I'm very

699
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 7: proud of because it's a reflection of the life I

700
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 7: have right now.

701
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 5: But I never wanted to.

702
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 7: You know, the only reason I came here because I

703
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 7: felt like I had something to say. If I didn't

704
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 7: feel like I had something to say, I wouldn't be it,

705
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 7: you know. So I never want to do anything because

706
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 7: I don't feel because just because I want to do

707
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 7: what I believe I can contribute to will you be

708
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 7: starring it out? Or just oh yeah, I'm writing it.

709
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 7: It's a sitcom based on my life and my family.

710
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 7: Where I'm now.

711
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 5: I got a gay daughter, an artistic.

712
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 7: Son, and and an older daughter who had cancer, and

713
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 7: a wife who who is I've been with for forty years,

714
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 7: and so I just think uh.

715
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: Is in the creative process.

716
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 7: I never want to feel like I have to apologize

717
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 7: for having a perspective, And I think sometimes the entertainment

718
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 7: apparatus wants to let people off the hook. But I

719
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 7: think I want this show to be like if the

720
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 7: nation got a chance to be a fly on the

721
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 7: wall of family having a conversation.

722
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: Was there any hesitance with that? Really opening that door

723
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: with the family side?

724
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 7: Well, what they're gonna do. They're gonna tell me I

725
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 7: can't do that. You better go home and cry and

726
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: the pile of money and shut up. People always think

727
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 7: that experiences are just so solitary. Me and you could

728
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 7: have an experience. You could have one perspective of it

729
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 7: and I could have another. That I don't mean either

730
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 7: one of us lying, But why should I have to

731
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 7: have permission from anybody to say what I saw?

732
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 5: Like, why would I would.

733
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 7: Why would I have to ask you for permission for having

734
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 7: a perspective.

735
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 5: It's divergent from you.

736
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 4: What does family mean to you? I mean you're talking about.

737
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 7: Film everything, but not everything in the cliche kind of way, right.

738
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 7: I think that the family is a unit that you

739
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 7: grow into like you do anything else. What my family

740
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 7: means to me now isn't what it meant to me

741
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 7: when I was much younger. What family means to me

742
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 7: now because when you're younger, you hustle and try to

743
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 7: make it happen. You're trying to make sure everybody has

744
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 7: what they need, but what they need is you. But

745
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 7: you can't be any dude that tells you can walk

746
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 7: that perfect line where he is there enough and doing enough.

747
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 7: If you there, somebody ain't eating if you're not there.

748
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 7: Somebody said you go. But when you're a man, you

749
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 7: have to walk those paths. Now that I'm a grandfather,

750
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 7: I get to be more present and get to what

751
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 7: I've hoped is that I've instilled enough of my attributes

752
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 7: that are that are positive that my children have told

753
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 7: them who I am, and it's set the skids for

754
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 7: me where they love being around me. But even that,

755
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 7: all I know is I've done what I knew to

756
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 7: do and now try to do better. And if they

757
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 7: accept it, cool. If they don't, I can understand it.

758
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 3: You have to have gone through a lot in life

759
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: to be at such peace with where you are. When

760
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: did that kind of start coming in.

761
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 7: And nobody gets peace? You run out of wind? So

762
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 7: just thinking I can't like I would like to chase

763
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 7: all these brothers, but I'm tired. But don't you think

764
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 7: I want to go?

765
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 5: He did you tell me?

766
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 4: Now?

767
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 5: Just settle for tell me what you're gonna do.

768
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: But I remember, I'm talking from a standpoint of just

769
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 3: like this is me And when were you just comfortable?

770
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: Because it wasn't always like that, Like you said, when

771
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: you're growing in the hustle, although you're very confident in yourself,

772
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: you still kind of hear the noise, you know what

773
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 3: I mean? I asked Kobe this question, like what did

774
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: you hear during your career that hurts you or bother?

775
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: It's like I heard it.

776
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: All and it all hurt I mean, so when did

777
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 3: you become at such peace with like this is? Like

778
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: you said, I'm a red cup. They don't tell me

779
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 3: everywhere where they like me, they sell them a lot.

780
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 5: Peace is what you are forced to accept, Okay.

781
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 7: Generally, peace is one strong man giving another uh one

782
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 7: strong position, giving a lesser position an opportunity to pretend

783
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 7: like they're both getting what they want, Like I'm tired

784
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 7: of fighting, you tired of dying. It's never it's never equal.

785
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 7: So my peace comes from the fact that every day

786
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do what I believe and I'm willing to

787
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 7: take what comes with that. So it's not it's not

788
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 7: a guarantee. It's not that I win all the time.

00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 7: I'm a black man who never known what happened. Who

802
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 7: I've never known a black man can tell me what

803
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 7: happeness was?

804
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 4: What is it?

805
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 7: It's this, It's like a fucking unicorn or big big foot.

806
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 7: I've never heard a black man say these things out loud,

807
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 7: happiness and safety. So at sixty years old, sixty years

808
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 7: old was the first time I've ever asked myself what

809
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 7: happenedess could be?

810
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: What'd you come up with?

811
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 5: Nothing yet I'm working on it, baby.

812
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: Three years later. Yeah, no, No, I don't.

813
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 5: Why would I.

814
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 7: It's it's such an abstract concept to me, Like people

815
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 7: talk about happiness like it's the place you live, like

816
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 7: it's fucking Xander. Do it ain't. Happiness is just being content.

817
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 7: So I don't. I don't know that I that I'll

818
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 7: find it, but I know that I'm more open to

819
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 7: it than I ever was.

820
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 2: What'd you think about the Drake and Kendrick Beef.

821
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: I think that.

822
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 7: Drake is an immensely talented artist, uh who had who

823
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 7: would all always been talented and his patterns' talent had

824
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 7: always been stoked.

825
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 5: But Kendrick was an artist.

826
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 7: I've never seen an artist who was everything he thought

827
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 7: he was at the moment when nobody thought he could

828
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 7: be nobody thought he could do what he did, but

829
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 7: he did. He knew it, and because he knew it,

830
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 7: he elevated an entire coast. You saw black people and

831
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 7: bloods and crips and latins who didn't get along, and

832
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 7: he elevated because he spoke. He said, his metric was

833
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 7: set to all of us who could see ourselves in him.

834
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 7: Drake is talented, and he can make me dance, and

835
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 7: I a vibe to his shit. I never he never

00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 7: spoke to me in the place that I felt that motherfucker. Nigga,

837
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 7: how do you make a disc record and then you

Speaker 7: at the super Bowl? You ain't never seen No, you've

839
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 7: never seen it. We've never seen He is a brilliant artist,

840
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 7: A brilliant artist in an ar form this oftentime, sometimes

841
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 7: underestimated and and never clearly really quite quantified. And I'm

842
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 7: proud he's from the street something from I'm proud he's

843
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 7: breathed the same air.

844
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: And I'm proud he sounds and looks like he did.

845
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 4: He's keeping substance in the game.

846
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, he does, and substance to everybody. I don't know

847
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 5: what it is. I think draps very appreciate substance. I

Speaker 5: hear you all the time.

849
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,120

00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 7: because I want to know I did it.

851

Speaker 5: I watched this nigga beat destroyed up. So isn't it

852
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,600

853
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 5: it's called All the Smoke. That's fucking hilarious. Up called

00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 7: That's the niggas shouldn't have been in the same room.

856
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, restraining order twenty five.

857
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you said you're working on a pilot right now?

858
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 4: What are you working on these days?

859
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 5: I'm working on a pilot.

860
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 7: With a very talent dude called Axe Bono's for CBS,

861
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 7: and it's me and where I am right now, and

862
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 7: it looks really good.

863
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: I'm working writing a book called Charlie's Boy about.

864
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 7: My father, and I think the worst thing I know

865
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 7: is that my father never knew what I thought of him.

866
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 7: And this is mine telling him what I thought of him.

867
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: How long has he been going?

868
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 5: We start now? We've had to deal for two years.

869
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 7: But I just didn't think that I had the bandwidth

870
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 7: to make it happen.

871
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: But Pop still here as he passed.

872
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: I would never talk this shit he was here.

873
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, my father had to die to here this shit. Now,

874
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 7: I've had the best relationship with my father since he's

875
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 7: been gone.

876
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 5: He listens and everything.

877
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 8: So what would you tell somebody like me want to

878
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 8: get an actor that you already are actor.

879
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 4: I'm a second person. Tell me that that's what you know?

880
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 5: What it is?

881
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 7: Everything you're looking for is looking for you.

882
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 5: You never see now.

883
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 7: I think that the greatest actors I've ever seen that

884
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 7: weren't necessarily trained. But all it is is do I

885
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 7: believe what you're saying when you're saying it right?

886
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: So first take.

887
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 7: Things that are in your in your weares, then challenge yourself.

888
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 7: But you already acting. You're acting like you ain't never

889
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 7: beat up Detroit. And that's you acting like I can't

890
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 7: watch you from thirty.

891
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 9: Right now, that I got that down.

892
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 5: Reasonable the same man. That's so fun.

893
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 7: I think that the fact that there's so many bright

894
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 7: young co mean. I do a thing and it's called

895
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 7: uh uh Wednesdays at the d L and I do

896
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 7: it in Pasadena and it's at the Icehouse, and I

897
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 7: do it every Wednesday and I put on all young

898
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 7: comics because I see these dudes doing shit, because it's

899
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 7: it's it's different, like everybody's always talking about. I remember

900
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 7: Eric Dickison was one of my favorite running backs, right

901
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 7: and sakh On Broccoli might have broke this record, and

902
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 7: Eric pointed out that he had, oh that Taquan had

903
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 7: one more game. But no one's ever seen these kind

904
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 7: of defenses before. No one's ever seen that. So with

905
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 7: these kind of athletes and these kind of schemes, So

906
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 7: everywhere you're supposed to be, you get what you get

907
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 7: from that moment. And it's ridiculous to pretend like I

908
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 7: know or can into it what these people's parameters are,

909
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 7: what their drawbacks are, what are not. But I will

910
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 7: say the one thing that I notice about the younger

911
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 7: generation than us, they now want a collaborative or from me.

912
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 7: And I've watched a lot of them work. It's not

913
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 7: just me saying some shit. I'm just saying, but I've

914
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 7: been doing this thing for like five months now, and

915
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 7: I've seen I don't know, three hundred young comics and

916
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 7: one other things that I see in them and not everybody,

917
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 7: But there is more collaboration that's not a judgment or

918
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 7: an assessment of what that is or a judgment of

919
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 7: what that is. It's just my assessment. Us more individualistic,

920
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 7: like I have this thing. A line and tiger are

921
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 7: more powerful, but a war won't perform in the circus.

922
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 7: There's a level of individual individualism that we got and

923
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 7: maybe it was born of the time we were in

924
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 7: that I don't see exhibited now. I think they think

925
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 7: being mean and caustic. Not everybody, but being mean and

926
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 7: caustic is the way.

927
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 3: It's not even the same type of route though these days.

928
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you look at the path that you know,

929
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 3: your generation of comics had to take in the ups

930
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 3: and downs in the grinds, and it's just different now

931
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: because of social media.

932
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: Sure, but then the level of funny or is it

933
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: to you?

934
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,959
Speaker 7: It was different when people went from radio to TV,

935
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 7: a TV for the films or so. It's everybody has

936
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 7: had their Yeah, But what I I think that I

937
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 7: believe that comedy is so sacracy that everybody should have

938
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 7: the right to say and do what they want. I

939
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 7: think it's an unbridled, unvarnished truth. That doesn't mean people

940
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 7: are going to sapt what you do but it also

941
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: doesn't mean that I'm going to agree with you could

942
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 7: be a cop and like with cop and and and

943
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 7: and you know, be in the union. But that doesn't

944
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 7: mean you can't say that this crosses the line. I

945
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 7: think that comics can cross the line too. And it

946
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 7: doesn't mean I don't love the oft phone. I can

947
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 7: respect your ability and your right to do it, but

948
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 7: I don't think it's funny to talk about how you could.

949
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 5: Rape another dude.

950
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 7: I don't think that's funny, right, not at all. And

951
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 7: then I don't think it's funny. I think it's worse

952
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 7: when you pretend like you get to say what you want,

953
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 7: that it's out of bounds. But when somebody says something

954
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 7: out of bounds or you you get offended. I don't

955
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 7: think that's Look, hey man, I said it. You have

956
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 7: every right to come at me the way you feel

957
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 7: like you need to.

958
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: It was in the comments I was like, bro, this

959
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 3: hanging in how you think it's going Exactly what I said.

960
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 5: You can't talk about raping somebody and that's a violent thing,

961
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 5: you know.

962
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 7: And and if that's what you mean, roll with it.

00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,680

993

994
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 7: that sad talented. And I was mad at him for years,

995
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 7: but for being that fucking talented. And then later on,

996
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 7: given all the things he'd gone through, like we became

997

00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 7: My him being that talented girded him up, and and

1000
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 7: and and and building all that girded him up for

1001
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 7: the things that would happened to later on in life.

Speaker 5: Influence on him.

1051
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 7: And I think the most beautiful thing you could ever

1052
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,080

Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean. Guilty pleasure.

1065
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 7: It means I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm thinking

1066
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 7: I'm doing something you might think. I don't like to.

1067
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 7: I never want to hurt the woman I love. I

1068
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 7: don't ever want to do nothing to hers. But it

1069
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 7: doesn't mean I don't like it when I do it.

1070
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 7: That's crazy.

1071
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

1072
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 4: Crazy childhood crush.

1073
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 7: It was a girl named Kathin. I ain't gonna say

1074
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 7: her last name. So I was in the seventh grade

1075
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 7: and she was in the ninth. Everybody has these stories.

1076
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 7: So I was in the seventh grade, she was in

1077
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 7: the ninth and I rode the bus when with the

1078
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 7: Perry Junior High and we were in La was the

1079
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 7: unincorporated part of La so they would pick us up.

1080
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,959
Speaker 7: And so the bus in La Gino, you might notice,

1081
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 7: had this hierarchy youngest in the front, seventh in the front,

1082
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 7: eighth in the middle, ninth in the back unless you

1083
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 7: were cool seventh grad you know, But I didn't. So

1084
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 7: I remember this song called Gloria by Enchatman would come

1085
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 7: on and every day I would look back at her

1086
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 7: in the mirror in the big old bus mirror and

1087
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 7: the song will come on and I look at her

1088
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 7: and she would smile, and so one day I did,

1089
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 7: and we did this for like the whole the hit was.

1090
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 7: The song was a hit for weeks, so every day

1091
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 7: would come on at the same time. And one day,

1092
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 7: why did I look over at her? And she said

1093
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 7: and said, what you.
