Speaker 1: the characters. But we had a lot of suits. You know,

135
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: they were like kind of like making sure that we

136
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: did with what they wanted us to do. And then

137
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: as time went on, they've let us spread our wings

138
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: and now we get to just be ridiculous and funny

139
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: and heartfelt, and you know, I love it. I love

140
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: seeing my dad every damn day.

141
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Well what is Papa's House about?

142
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: For people that don't know, because yesterday, yeah, yeah, So

143
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Papa's House is basically about a papa who's a popular

144
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: morning radio DJ and really yeah a little bit, a

145
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: little bit, and he is a He lives alone, he's

146
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: happily divorced. He basically lives his dream of solitude until

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: his son, who was like an immature, needy guy, moves

148
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: in next door to him with his wife and his

149
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: two kids and just kind of turns Papa's life upside down,

150
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: and that's basically the long and short of it. We

151
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: were toying with the idea of calling it raising Damon

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: because it's like, you know, you think it's him raising me,

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: but then it you kind of see that Papa needs

154
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: him raising too. You know. It's a lot of old

155
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: school versus new school views. I think it's really cool,

156
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's I think my goal for

157
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: the show is to bring back black comedies. You know, Like,

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: had I known that, you know, the nineties, in the

159
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: early two thousands, like we're never going to be again,

160
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, like there were so many options we had.

161
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: We had we had Fresh Prince of bel Air, living single,

162
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: we had so many options on so many different channels.

163
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: And had I known that we're going to have like

164
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: nothing for like, you know, over a decade, I would

165
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: have appreciated it more, you know, family matters.

166
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: Nobody can explain to me why that went away, because

167
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: it's not like all all those shows were super successful.

168
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: So what happened in Hollywood that they just flipped this

169
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: what you said, we don't want no more of this,

170
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: Let's do reality television.

171
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like they always use They

172
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: always use black people to kind of build up the

173
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: platforms and then just do away with them. You know,

174
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: you're you know the living single friends thing, the u

175
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: PN remember upn Absolutely they use all them shows Jamie

176
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Fox Show to Marlon Wayne Way, the Wayne's brothers. Come

177
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: on now. They had all these damn shows.

178
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: Your Pop, Your pop show to my wife and kids.

179
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: My wife and kids. I didn't want to say that

180
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: because that was that I love my wife and kids.

181
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: But like they had some We had so many shows,

182
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like, now what we have, we have Abbot,

183
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: we have the neighborhood. Is there anything else?

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: Now? You know, there was a there was a resurgence,

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 4: but a lot of them grown. Oh yeah yeah growing insecure,

186
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 4: right Atlanta.

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Insecure was great. I'm talking about to come now like

188
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: they don't ever. Yeah, like the sitcoms like Network TV,

189
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I feel like it's you know, it's far and few between,

190
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and I just hope that, you know, maybe the show

191
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: gets popular enough to be like, oh, let's bring more

192
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: of those, you know what I mean? I love it

193
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: because I feel like people need to see black people

194
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: enjoying themselves, black people making each other laugh, Black people

195
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: making the world laugh.

196
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: You know how much of this show is just improv

197
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,440

00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, see what's up with him. You know, just

314
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: like you got a kid on the boat who gave

00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: me them shoes, you know, well your die brat, you know,

316
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: always remember I was too no, he just told me

317
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: walking around following him everywhere. He was like, come on, man,

318
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: go he was like trying to shoot me away, mame

319
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: man his naptime. That's funny.

320
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 5: So what is the you guys always keep Essence Atkins books.

321
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 5: I know she's in Papa's house. She plays doctor Ivy Green.

322
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 5: What what's the chemistry with her in the Waynes family? Like,

323
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: can you talk a bit about that? And a decision

324
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 5: to bring her on this show?

325
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Right, Well, first of all, Essence Adkins keeps herself booked

326
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: like that woman is a phenomenal comedic actress, phenomenal actress period.

327
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: But she's also like really funny. And initially my dad

328
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: didn't want her to be on the show because Uncle

329
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: MoMA was like, yo, you gotta put it home. You know,

330
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: she's really funny. I don't know what you're doing, you know,

331
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: and and my dad was like, kind of you know, like, no,

332
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: he she was on your show. I don't want to

333
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: have that on my show, like leave it alone. And

334
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: then finally he, you know, he was like come in

335
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: and read. And she went in and like from the

336
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: moment she walked in the door, she was killing us,

337
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: like just so funny, like before she even said a

338
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: word of the audition, she came in, killed it, killed it,

339
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: left and she was the first person up to so

340
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: everybody yet like she just sucked all the energy out

341
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: the room and there was just like no one was

342
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna do or top that. So, you know, so Essence

343
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: keeps herself look like she's just phenomenal.

344
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: Now.

345
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: You also see the change of comedy, right because you've

346
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: seen everything your family has done right from blank Man

347
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: to Living Color, and you think comedy can go back

348
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: there without people getting insulted about getting offended taking things personal.

349
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think so.

350
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like, but.

351
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: The blank Man offensive though, I feel like I feel

352
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: like blank Man was like pretty chill.

353
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: I don't remember. I have to go back and watch

354
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: it again because what I because what we didn't think

355
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: was offensive. Now when you back be like, oh yeah,

356
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: that would everybody?

357
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: How do you get away with all that, don't give

358
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: a fuck.

359
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: Like gotta keep going, yeah, you know, treating almost like comedians, right,

360
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: like I'm not a comedian, but you gotta treat it

361
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: like that. Like now you don't know you crashed that

362
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 4: you crash, that's true. I'm not trying to crash, but

363
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: you know.

364
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: That's true, and that's what like, you know, like that's

365
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: what got you to where you are. You know, the

366
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: same with you like you guys, like I really I.

367
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: Missed those shows.

368
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: I missed colored shows and those shows that pushed the

369
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: line and pushed the.

370
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, I blame I blame Judd Appatitle.

371
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm always down to blame the white man for something.

372
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: So I mean, this is a conspiracy theory, but I

373
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: don't think he did it intentionally. But I feel like

374
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: it started with super Bad, Like super Bad came out, classic,

375
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: super funny, and then and I feel like after that

376
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: it was just no more black stuff, no more black movies.

377
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Like it was just like you know, they're like we

378
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: got it from here, niggers. And then they did all

379
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: their you know that it was like Jewish comedies like

380
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: starring Jewish people, Jewish young guys which were really funny,

381
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Like I love forty year old version, I love Bridesmaids,

382
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: I love super Bad. But I feel like it like

383
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: just went that way, and then there was no more

384
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: black comedies, Like they don't make them anymore. Have you

385
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: noticed that.

386
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's because because I think about what

387
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 4: you're saying all the time, because I love the tone

388
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: of all the movies. I even put get them to

389
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: the Greek in Neck. I wonder if it's because they're

390
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 4: willing to take more risks. We like, there's a lot

391
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: of things that they do in their comedy that I

392
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: feel like some Black people wouldn't necessarily.

393
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: I disagree. I say, I'm saying the opportunities not there.

394
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know there's like a bunch of black

395
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: comedies being written. They're just not being shot. They're not

396
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: they're not being given to black comedians.

397
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 5: But I think he's asking, would like some of our

398
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 5: big name black comedians, would they take those roles that

399
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 5: are going to push those boundaries because it.

400
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Could offend what boundaries?

401
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: I mean, people are offended by everything nowadays, So it

402
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: depends on who you're talking about, what you're talking about.

403
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: Well, it's a lot like back in the day when

404
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 4: you look at the liver color and all of that

405
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: stuff like that, they weren't afraid to pretend to be gay.

406
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: They weren't afraid they will addresses. Yeah, I'm not saying

407
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: you gotta wait to jet, but they weren't afraid to

408
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: push the limits. Right, there's things that I feel like

409
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: there's black people wouldn't do.

410
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, now you just get critiques for everything.

411
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: But I think if it's funny enough, like they'll let

412
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: you do it, you know, like like we let Robert

413
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Downel Junior get away with black face because it was funny, right,

414
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: And but I don't think he could do that now.

415
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: I don't feel like, I don't feel like anything is

416
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I don't even know if super

417
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Bad could get away with being super bad. Now. Maybe

418
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: super Bad, but like forty year old version, I'm not sure. Right,

419
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: Like these nerds, not even nerds, which is crazy.

420
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: Nerds is rape though, now when.

421
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: You I haven't, I haven't, I haven't.

422
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it seems like you know the guy

423
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: when the guy uh dressed up the girl thought it

424
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: was her boyfriend, but it was a whole other guy.

425
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's rape.

426
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

427
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: So I mean it's kind of like I feel like

428
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: people are just way too aware and and and way

429
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: too sensitive, you know what I mean, Like leave room

430
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: for comedy. I feel like comedy is experimental, it's not

431
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: it's not the entire truth. It's like grains of truth.

432
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: It's someone's truth potentially, but in the reality, the goal

433
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: is to make you laugh, you know. And I feel

434
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: like people shouldn't be watching stuff ready to be offended.

435
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: You should be watching stuff trying to laugh. If you're

436
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: watching a comedy, if you want to laugh.

437
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: By the way, it's not even just comedy though. I

438
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: think about back in the day, like why was Q

439
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: in high school fucking the nurse and juice? They even

440
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 4: give us the next name no reason. I think about that,

441
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: Why was this nerves just fucking?

442
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: I bet you, I bet you. There was like a

443
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: storyline that they just didn't have time to explore. They

444
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: probably had to cut it.

445
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 5: You know, are you guys gonna like cause I don't.

446
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: I feel like it's a lot of it. Like the

447
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 5: networks know that people will be offended, so they try

448
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 5: to stay away even if they want to try it right,

449
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: but in Papa's house, like you guys have Essence Atkins

450
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 5: who's kind of coming in and your dad is like

451
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: the old school person who he's like aware of the boundaries,

452
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: but it doesn't really care. And she's like, you're gonna

453
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 5: have to care. Are y'all going to kind of play

454
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: around with that a little bit more and take those risks?

455
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 5: Or is the network like we can be cute with it,

456
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 5: but like no, cause your dad be willing to go

457
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 5: all the way there.

458
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 4: I love it.

459
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh he goes there all that time. Didn't he get

460
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: in trouble on your on your show years ago?

461
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: I watched that last night.

462
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: I watched it last night.

463
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: Resurfacing things for no reason.

464
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Well, they put my picture during that whole contry.

465
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: I remember.

466
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: Everywhere. I was like, he didn't say, guess what of

467
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: his father?

468
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: That was crazy?

469
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 4: What you're gonna push those boundaries on the show.

470
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Yes, we are, We we have and I think that

471
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, once the the the suits the CBS saw

472
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: that we know what we're doing, they kind of like,

473
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: let us play, you know what I mean? Like, and

474
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: you'll see each episode gets funnier and funnier and funnier,

475
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: and you know, and the characters are get more and

476
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: more well rounded. We deal with like real issues too,

477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird to have like serious scenes

478
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but we we do that too,

479
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: which just makes the comedy funnier. And I love what

480
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. Man, It's it's it's very unique,

481
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: especially on CBS. Like we're definitely making CBS uncomfortable with

482
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: the choices we're making, which I think is great because

483
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: we're pushing the envelope. It's like we got we were

484
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: competing against streaming now copia, against network shows that go

485
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: for it. So it's like there's no time to really

486
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: just play it safe.

487
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: What are you teaching your father, because well, you know

488
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 4: we all with my father. You gotta be teaching him

489
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 4: something like because you know, your experience is totally different

490
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: than his experience.

491
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: All you teaching him anything?

492
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't I really maybe

493
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: be a little nicer, I don't know, I don't know,

494
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: is he nicer. I feel like he's getting nicer. He's

495
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: getting he's getting nicer. You know, he's uh, you know,

496
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: he's cranky sometimes, but that's just how he's always been,

497
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, but then he you know, he has uh

498
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: you know has he has really high highs. Like if

499
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: you make him laugh, you can get him out of

500
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: a bad move. That's how we used to get out

501
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: of spankings. Make him laugh.

502
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell me the close encounter, like what's the club Like,

503
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the belt, the ass about to be

504
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 4: and you come with that fire joke that made him

505
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 4: put the belt down.

506
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: So he used to swing the belt with you know,

507
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: like some people like fold the belt. He used to

508
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: fold the belts. It would just be like long right,

509
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: like a whip, like a whip. Yeah, And so when

510
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: he was about to hit me, I was like, don't

511
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: get my thing dank and like help my stuff. And

512
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: then he just laughed because they would wrap around sometimes

513
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: and hit the tip. You know, he didn't hit us

514
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot. That's when we did when he did wait, yeah,

515
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: but he was you know, he got he got his

516
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: as whip when he was little, so he didn't really know.

517
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: But he didn't hit us a lot. I can name.

518
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: I can you know kind of on one hand, how

00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: The solda's the caffeine and water is the healthy.

00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,800

00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

535
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 5: But what I do is I hydrate while I'm doing

536
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 5: it makes it easier.

537
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you like salt? Like little Celtic salt that

538
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: you put salt in the in the water is supposed

539
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: to really get into your bloodstreamers heard? I never heard

540
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: of that.

541
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 4: Are you ever afraid to work with your pops because

542
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 4: you know that he just like sabotaged his SNL situation

543
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: and just walked purposely did things to get fired. Do

544
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: you ever think that he might do that again?

545
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: And I don't. I think he's I think he's more

546
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: patient now. I think he's I think he just wants

547
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: to make a good show and spend time with his

548
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: family doing it. Like I feel like this is like

549
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: what he likes doing. And so I don't think he's

550
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: going to jeopardize that. Yeah, I mean that, you know,

551
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: maybe ten years ago maybe, but like now, I feel

552
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: like he's just like chill and and just having fun.

553
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: Like we just be laughing the whole day. It's just

554
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: I love it.

555
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: And when you know you talked about you know, Sean

556
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: writing on the show, and you know your aunt Kim

557
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: being a showrunner. Do y'all even look outside of the family.

558
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Now, we have a lot of people that are from

559
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: our outside of the family too. Like there's like twelve

560
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: thirteen writers on the show.

561
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 5: You said they know you guys though, right, Like they're like, yeah,

562
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 5: we all.

563
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: Know their family friends. Like the showrunner. We the showrunner

564
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: wrote Major Pain with my dad. He wrote on my

565
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: wife and Kids with my dad. So the strangers get

566
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: a chance, strangers get a chance to I got some

567
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: strangers in there.

568
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: Sounds so crazy. We got some strangers in, man, y'all

569
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 4: are doing it. The way black people should do it.

570
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think that, you know, and we're

571
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: not bringing in stragglers, like, we're bringing in people that

572
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: contribute to the project. They're not just being like they're

573
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: not just there because their name is Wayne's. They're actually

574
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: like contributing and being really good Keenan juniors in the

575
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: writer's room, which is he's so damn funny, My brother

576
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Michael the writer's room. It's just great. Man. I don't know,

577
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: this is the closest thing I've come to being on

578
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: a show that I have control over, right, Like I

579
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: always kind of envy my family because like the first generation,

580
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: because they got to come in as themselves, Like this

581
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: is who we are within living color, Like this is

582
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: who we are, take it or leave it. This is

583
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: funny to us. Like I've been an actor for hire

584
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: my entire career, so I've been funny in spots. But

585
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: you can only be as funny as they allow you

586
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: to be. And so I love that this is kind

587
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: of like the next best thing. You know, it's still

588
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: my dad's baby, but I get to contribute a lot,

589
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: and he's very collaborative. So damon gotta go.

590
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 4: Gus with two more questions when did you feel like

591
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: you started to make your own name for yourself and

592
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 4: people started saying that that's not Dami Wayne's son, that's

593
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: actually Damion Wayne.

594
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: I feel like when I had the Happy Ending show

595
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: and then I booked the New Girl show at the

596
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: same time, right, and so there was like a whole

597
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: uproar about that, and I that that was pretty cool

598
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: because Happy Endings was my first the first show I

599
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: ever auditioned for, and then New gro was the second

600
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: show I ever auditioned for, so right, I felt like

601
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I got there's something, you know,

602
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: I got something and uh, and then after that, I

603
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: just felt like I can do my own thing.

604
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: Are you gonna be part of the toy that they're doing?

605
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: They're doing the tour.

606
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: Ain't know about the comedy tour.

607
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: No together, I'll be telling me nothing. I'm second generation now.

608
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: They barely told us.

609
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: We just thought saw that clip. I think.

610
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: I saw that you coposed.

611
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: I know what I was gonna say, is I think

612
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: it's something else. I don't think it's a tour. I

613
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: think it's I can't say but what I think it is.

614
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: But if it is what I think it is, it's

615
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: gonna be fire.

616
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: We know that, but like, like it just have to

617
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 5: be something immortalize the Wings.

618
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 4: I think like the Wings needed thirty for thirty. Like

619
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like.

620
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: That'll be dope, But do they do that for I never? Yeah, first, yeah,

621
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,560
