00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: So anyway, anyway, I was in town doing a play.

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: I was doing a play and you know, Ray was

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: one of the promoters, and it was out just there

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: the Kings Theater, which is funny in itself. It's ran

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: by a bunch of Italians. Anyway, we'll get there. Long

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: story short, the mics went out. The mics went out,

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: and so the person who's supposed to come on stage

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: was backstage fixing the mic, and I could tell it

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: was going to be a second. I could hear like

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: the drama and I basically had to improvise for like

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: ten minutes.

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: On stage with no mic.

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: But no, no, my mic was the person coming on

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: their mic wasn't. So they were in the scene and

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: then Mike went out in the scene. Okay, so they

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: played it off like I'm gonna go to the bathroom

50
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: type thing, right to try to go get the mic fixed,

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: and left me on stage.

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, right, and that's why that life there.

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: There is no joke exactly.

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: So, but there were no more lines because yeah, so

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: I basically improvised by myself for like ten twelve minutes and.

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: The audience had no idea that no, he.

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: Knew, but the audience didn't know, right, And so after

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: the show, he came up to me and was like, Yo,

59
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: that's that's that wasn't I was like yeah. He was like,

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: he was like, yo, so you just made all that up.

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: I was like, he was like, yeah, we need to talk.

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: And then you guys have been cool that.

63
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: I told him you need to do stand up. I said,

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: first of all, you already have a name.

65
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: So that's how you got so really, Ray Dejohn is

66
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: the person that encouraged you to start.

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: You know, I had been dabbling in it, you know,

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: over the years, hosting different things, you know, but on

69
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: some serious like getting into it seriously. Yeah, he was

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: kind of the one that pushed me over the edge

71
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: because I had already been wanting to do it, but

72
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: I was like terrified about it, right, and then after

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: doing that, he was like, you can do it, trust me.

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Stand up is a terrifying thing though, and especially for

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: somebody like yourself who people already know and so well.

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: That's why, that's why I gave it like the real

77
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: old school study, like I really you know, I studied

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: it like I studied my other craft, because it's a craft,

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: it's a it's an art form, it's a skill to it,

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: it's a whole thing. And I wanted to do it

81
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: and be respected in it, you know, because I knew

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: way too many people, no, way too many people, and

83
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: so you know, certain certain people's hating, you know what

84
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean. But a lot of people took me under

85
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: their wing, you know, talent being one of them. You know,

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: different different OG's from here and you know, different cats

87
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: around the country that saw I was really serious about it.

88
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: I saw that you were working on actually doing your

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: special before the pandemic here.

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: Yep.

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: So when it comes to working on that, like is

92
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: it something I know next year? Maybe it's a year

93
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: you're going to really try to go hard to put

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: it out.

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, That's what I'm doing right now, going around

96
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: the country, tightening up the material and working on all

97
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: the new stuff and getting it ready for the new year.

98
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: But welcome home.

99
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: And before the mice came out, we were just talking

100
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: about how New York is such a different audience when

101
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: it comes to stand up comedy than other places. So

102
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: I want you guys to elaborate on what makes this

103
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: because this is where I feel like stand up committeans

104
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: really feel like they have to come in order to

105
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: hone their craft. New York is really you know, there's

106
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: so many different clubs and now we have two seventy

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: five park in Brooklyn, thank goodness, so we don't even

108
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: have to leave our burrow in order to get some

109
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: great comedy.

110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: But what makes New York different, Well, New.

111
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: Yorkers, new Yorker's York art impatient. They want it when

112
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: they want it right away. So like a lot of

113
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: the out of town comedians, the storytellers that have these

114
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: long setups before they get to the punchline, New Yorkers

115
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: don't have patience for that. AKA. When t I was

116
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: at the bar, clack. They don't have, they don't want

117
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: to wait, especially if you're on a level. And see,

118
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: this is the thing about cargoing into stand up. He's

119
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: already respected on the greatest sitcom ever and he was

120
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: a great supporting actor on that show, and he had

121
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: insane moments of comedy. So the consumer is looking at that.

122
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 4: They don't care what you got to do to do

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: your stand up, but you got to be on that

124
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: level when you hit the stage. You got to be

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: that guy that we saw on that show.

126
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: You got like two men, you got you got like

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: an extra sixty seconds. You got like an extra because

128
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: they already yeah, you got like an extra. You got

129
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of racing. Then they're like, say something funny.

130
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 4: And you know, culturally we're all different, you know, in

131
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: terms of Latino culture, African American culture, Caucasian culture. When

132
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: you're going to comedy clubs, you know, you have to

133
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: read the room. You have to be able to know, Okay,

134
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: who's in this room? Do I have tourists in here?

135
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: Is it mostly Spanish? Is it mostly black? Like? Then

136
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: you have to look in your mental rolodecks with whatever

137
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: jokes you have, you have to edit right there on

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: the spot, and you got to be able to make

139
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: a connection with whoever's there. That's the only way you

140
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: grab an audience connection in the beginning.

141
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: How much do you put into like what you wear

142
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: on stage? Does that matter to you? Do you think

143
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: about that or do you just.

144
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: You know what I used to I used to think

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: about that because you know, well, you're getting more into

146
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: it now that I'm trying to No. No, the reason

147
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: why I said that is because of your hat line.

148
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Yes, have a hat on today. This is unusual. Something

149
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: must have happened.

150
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yesterday I talked about that.

151
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, well, you know my hat line.

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: I'm really going hard with that fact. So you know

153
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 4: you're doing two things at the same time.

154
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Now I wear merchandise, you know, right, yeah,

155

Speaker 3: you know we got yeah, yeah, every time you know,

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm on I'm on stage, I wear merchandise now, the

157
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: things that are my hat line, my clothing line, things

158
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: like that. But you know, I don't put too much

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: thought into it because you know, if you're funny, you.

160
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Funny, right, because sometimes that's party.

00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: Concentrating on what I'm wearing, like I'm because comedians, I

Speaker 2: The way that they dress, and there's iconic outfits that

165
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: we could think of too.

166
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I always feel like I'm.

167

Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean and then speaking of which, it's

176
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: interesting to me because you are a young Dylan, right,

177
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: and you've also directed some episodes.

178
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Is that correct or yeah?

181
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,640

182
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: so yeah, he just gave me an opportunity to, you know,

183
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: do it. And I get more and more.

184
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Each season to think about how people know you from

185
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: being on Martin and being on The Cosbee Show.

186
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: But now like these kids know you.

187
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: It's the wildest thing. So I like, I'll be out

188
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: in the store somewhere and then a parent will see me,

189
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: you know, because they know right, and they'll be like,

190
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: oh my god. And then they'll tap their daughter or

191
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: they son and be like do you know who this is?

192
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 3: And they're like yeah, because they thinking one thing. And

193
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: then and then you watch the parent and the kid

194
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: have a what what you're talking about because they don't

195
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: know what they're watching. Or some of the parents are

196
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: introducing the kids now to our show. So it's like

197
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: three generations.

198
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, and Martin still comes on like every day, all.

199
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: Several different networks.

200
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: That is good.

201
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: Resid checks no, no, okay, so let's get it to

202
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 3: the residual let's get it into residual situation. Look at that.

203
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: Look at the swipe left though those swipe right no

204
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: them checks. They were crazy. That's what we've been fighting for, right,

205
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: Like a lot of people didn't know what was going on.

206
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: It's like, you could do a job and you know,

207
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: your residuals is everything. You you be amassed. You know

208
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: a certain amount of work over a period of time

209
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm still getting paid from stuff. I

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: did in the eighties and nineties, right, But the point

211
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: is these streaming networks and you know, the you know,

212
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: the new platforms, they didn't have any agreements with our unions,

213
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: and you know, they never came to the collective bargaining table,

214
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: so realistically they felt like they didn't have to pay,

215
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: you know, And I'm like, wait nah, so everybody just

216
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: keep eating off of me. That's how we felt, like,

217
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: come on, you can't get a sixth cent six cents.

218
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: What you're saying to me this for It's like, am

219
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: I even going to depositive six sens?

220
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 3: Sixth sense? Or you get like, I mean fifty jacks

221
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: equaling three hundred dollars when usually that's how people live

222
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: from China. I was like, yeah, shit, you know, I

223
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: started applying different places. It's getting rough. I'm back out

224
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: here in these streets right now. On comedy, you know,

225
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: I was looking at a six flags.

226
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Maybe they was hung, oh my gosh.

227
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: No, you're very but you are fortunate to have had

228
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: like the longevity that you had. But to write, the

229
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: compensation part is something that people have to be accountable

230
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: for because you see people making so much money in

231
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: these executive positions and and corporate, But then what happens

232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: to the people who made it.

233
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Happen for you? You know? And I don't think that's a

234
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: lot to ask for.

235
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 3: Not at all, not at all. And it's crazy when

236
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: somebody's like saying that somebody's being greedy, it's like, no,

237
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: we just fair, not even greed, We're just trying to

238
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: you know. Can you just be fair?

239
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: You know?

240
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: And even for you, like you said, you've been directing

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: for quite some time now, clearly acting for quite some time.

242
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask you now, being a director, when.

243
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: You think about how you were when you were younger

244
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: and having like tension on the set, because famously everybody

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: knows how you and Malcolm Jamal Warner weren't necessarily friends

246
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: while you guys are doing a Cosby show, how is

247
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: it for you now as a director and wanting to

248
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: see how people interact with each other even when they're

249
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: not filming, does it matter to have that type of

250
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: you know, let's settle this, let's have a conversation, let's

251
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: see how we can get along. Does it matter to

252
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: you in that position as a director if.

253
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: My actors are getting along? Yeah, it depends. I mean

254
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: of course it matters because chemistry is everything, right, But

255
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: as long as you are so it's called acting. As

256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: long as you can do your job, you know, that's

257
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: really what's most important, you know, is do I would

258
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: I'd rather than get along or you know, not have

259
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: any beef or tension. And yeah, as a director, you know,

260
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: you're the captain of the ship, so it's your job

261
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: to like, you gotta be you know, doctor Phil, you

262
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: got to you gotta be all of that. And with

263
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 3: kids it's even worse.

264
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: Rights.

265
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: Their attention span is like that's short, and you know,

266
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: kids get mad over nothing real easy. So yeah, yeah,

267
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: I've had to deal with I've had to deal with

268
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 3: that a couple of times. And you know, as long

269
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: as you make it make sense. You know, you've been

270
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: around long enough. You know, you say something that makes

271
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: sense to somebody, right, that's logical, and they go, okay,

272
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: like yes, now can we do this.

273
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing for you to hav't grown up

274
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: in this business. We've seen child stars and how things

275
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: can go so terribly left, but you've been pretty grounded

276
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: this whole time.

277
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I mean, brother, grace of God, by the

278
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: grace of God, No, it's real, Like I don't know.

279
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: I just you know, let's take it easy, you know

280
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, I just I'm thankful for everything

281
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: to come my way. I don't really trip on a

282
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: lot of stuff. I think. I think too. It's a

283
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: part of your environment too, you know, like where you

284
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: are right and who you surround yourself with, that in

285
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: your circle. Like growing up here in New York. Being

286
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 3: back here, I have anxiety. It's like everybody here is

287
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: very tense. Everybody is very you know, on edge.

288
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: You think, so what, okay, it is different than other places.

289
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: Come on, That's what I'm saying. When you're in it,

290
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: and you're in it all the time, it becomes you

291
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: know who you are, you know your product of environment.

292
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is a lot of people here have

293
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: a lot of angst.

294
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: Well you know, we live in close quarters with each other.

295
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: It's expensive.

296
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. It's quite a strategure, trust me,

297
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: I get it. When I first left, you know, people

298
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: was looking at me like why are you talking? Like

299
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: what you mean talking to me? I talk? What's wrong't you?

300
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: You know?

301
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: And then I came back and then I got it.

302
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I get it.

303
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: That is so too, because when I was younger, the

304
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: first time that we travel, the only place I went

305
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: was to the West Indies, to where my mom is from.

306
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: And I remember going to the island and people speaking

307
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: and saying hello, and I.

308
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: Was like, do I know you? You know how?

309
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: Because it is true And I always tell people that

310
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: when you grow up in New York, you're taught. I

311
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: don't know you, I don't speak to you. I'm not

312
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: making eye contact with anybody. I'm not trying to have

313
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: no issues on minding my business. You mind your business.

314
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: And so that was different for me to go somewhere

315
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: and people who I don't know are saying good morning,

316
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: you know, saying hello, and I'm looking like who they

317
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: talking to? And you're so, you are definitely right about that.

318
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: We're known for being an unfriendly city.

319
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: Well not even it's just New Yorkers are aggrassator.

320
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: We're a defensive We're a defensive defensive drivers.

321
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: You know, how do you think that affected you when

322
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: you were younger? Like on set, do you feel like.

323
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: You're funny?

324
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Seriously?

325
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: Because I do feel like sometimes when you look back

326
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: on things, you know decades like decades later even.

327
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: To see things.

328
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: That maybe, Okay, is it you know I didn't handle

329
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: that the right way or was that a real thing?

330
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: Did I make it worse than it had to be?

331
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know that's a good point. You bring up

332
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: a good point. And growing up in this, in this

333
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: industry and real life, you know, you you definitely see

334
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: how things are dealt with differently and how people are.

335
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: It's like two different worlds, right, It's like your corporate

336
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: world and how people act in a corporate setting versus

337
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: how people act in a theater environment or whatever. Right,

338
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: And coming from a place where you know people just

339
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: say what they feel or say what's on their mind,

340
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: you don't have to try to figure it out. You

341
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: leave and you realize everybody's not like that, right, Right,

342
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: People don't really say what they really think or feel

343
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: to your face, to your face or period, right, Right,

344
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: And then you know, and you be with this person

345
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: every day and you're like, yeah, I never knew you

346
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: felt like that. That's crazy, because you you know what

347
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: I mean. So, yeah, it definitely was a learning.

348
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: Curve I saw. Sunny Hayston talked about you under view

349
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: and how.

384
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,440

385
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 3: you know, sell books or whatever they do.

386

Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, well, you know you saw each other

393
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: recently and I looked like I regretted it. That's the

394
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: thing that bothered me. I was like, whatever you.

00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: But so you heard when you came up here, Big Mac,

400
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: who works here, he was so excited that first of all,

401
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: he came in the studio like way before you came here.

402
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,560

Speaker 2: When people, I'm sure you get recognized, like everywhere you go.

406
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: How is that excitement for you? Are you sometimes like, Okay,

407
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm over it. I'm trying to eat with my family.

408
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: You know what it's It's a blessing. That's how I

409
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: look at it. It's like I don't know, I mean,

410
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: think about it. Right, It's one of those things where

411
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: that's how people get messed up. Really, That's how a

412
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: lot of comedians and different people right when they go

413
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: places and they used to that adulation, they used to

414
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 3: all of that type of energy or that praise, and

415
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: then when they don't get it. You know what I'm saying.

416
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: You know, nah, I take it with a grain of salt.

417
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm blessed. I appreciate it. You know that I did

418
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: something that affected somebody excuse me in some sort of

419
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 3: way positively, you know, like God gave me a gift,

420
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: and you know, if I'm doing what I'm supposed to

421
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: be doing, that's the right reaction.

422
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: You know. Country Wayne was up here also recently. I

423
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: Love Country Wayne, and you directed Strange Love, the movie

424
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: that he started that I actually did watch it. It was

425
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: pretty a funny movie too. Yeah, he actually is having

426
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: like sex with the ghost.

427
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: It was a wild script.

428
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: It was definitely a w What made you sign up.

429
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: For the challenge? You know, it was like it was

430
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: one of those things where I mean I always thought

431
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: he was pretty funny too, you know what I'm saying.

432
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: And they gave us a short window to film this movie.

433
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: It was a very very short window, and I just

434
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: saw it as a challenge, you know, to do that

435
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: that genre, that type of you know film in such

436
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: a short amount of time. I wouldn't do it again

437
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: like that because.

438
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: That is how long did you guys have to do it?

439
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: Ten days? Ten days?

440
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: Wow?

441
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: Ten days? But that home movie ten days?

442
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a challenge for real.

443
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 3: Yeah right, you know what I'm saying. I saw, you know,

444
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: but hey, that's what happens when you're an artist. Unfortunately.

445
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes your classroom is in front of three

446
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: hundred people, you know, and and sometimes it's in front

447
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: of millions. Right.

448
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: I want to ask both of you this question since

449
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: we're talking about movies for both Rey Dejon and for

450
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: Carl Paine.

451
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: So we were talking about this too Be movie.

452
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: That's coming out right, the rapper that got shot in

453
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: the heel and so basically it's based on, you know,

454
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: the whole situation where Megan the stallion. They had the

455
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: names like very similar and Tory Lanez and Kelsey and

456
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: all of that. What are your thoughts because some people

457
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: feel like, I see this happen all the time. On

458
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: those crime shows they do an episode based on a

459
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: real eth experien Yeah, something that's going on in the

460
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: real world, and so they have a lot of movies

461
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: that are kind of like that. What do you think

462
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: about movies that are depicting like wishan Quella Robinson. They

463
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: did a to Be episode on you know, the young

464
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: women that went to Mexico with her friends and then

465
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: ended up getting killed and the story still they still

466
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: haven't figured out what happened to her. But some people

467
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 2: feel like it's insensitive, you know, to the family, to

468
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: the people close to a person that something happens to

469
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 2: it's traumatizing. But then other people feel like, well, they

470
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: do it all the time. You know, when it comes

471
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: to these different crime shows. What do you think about

472
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: things like that?

473
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: Well, I kind of, I mean, it depends on who's

474
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: benefiting from it. First of all, it doesn't shine a

475
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 4: great light on our community pretty much because they're just

476
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 4: they're bringing these incidents to light and now you're putting

477
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 4: it on the big screen for people to get these

478
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 4: opinions about how we treat each other. And then it's

479
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: like who's making the money from it? Who? Like, who's

480
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 4: benefiting from it? I think that that's that's important. Like

481
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: you just can't take a story of God, you know what,

482
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with this guy's story.

483
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: But legally you can, right like you because if we

484
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: see it happen all the time, we see documentaries where

485
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean.

486
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, legally there's nothing against it, especially like you said,

487
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: when they're changing names and this, that and the other.

488
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: You know, if it's if it's a crime show or

489
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 3: like a like a real crime show and someone's just

490
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: stating the facts, right, what's out there in the world publicly,

491
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: and that's something different as well.

492
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, because it is interesting just to see how

493
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people have access to make movies.

494
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, well that's what you want to call it,

495
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: you want to call it, like, I mean, they doing.

496
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: Something, right, they are doing something.

497
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: They're doing something.

498
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 2: And people are figuring out and doing it on their own.

499
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Where

500
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: it's now no longer I have to go to a

501
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: major studio and get the funding for this to make

502
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: it happen. People are picking up the camera, writing their

503
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: own scripts, doing it and hopefully getting better the more

504
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: that they work on it. But that work is being

505
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: showcased and there's platforms for people to stream it.

506
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. My opinion on that is that it's good and

507
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: it's bad.

508
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: Right.

509
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: It's good in the sense of, like those who are

510
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: trying to really do it and be out there, you know,

511
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna bump your head, You're not gonna be great

512
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: right off the bat, all of that, right, And like

513
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: you said, there's this platform just for that, so there's

514
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: a way to continue to make money while you get

515
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: better and all of that. Like you said, But then

516
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: there's there's there's another side to that too, where it's

517
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: just like like what Ray was talking about, what is

518
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: the image that we're putting out there, right, you know,

519
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: because then it can hurt you when it's like, here's

520
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: this platform. You actually have a platform that's showcasing something

521
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: that might not be good, right, you know, image wise

522
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: or even just talent wise in terms of you know,

523
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: so now you got somebody who's really good trying to

524
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: go get a check, trying to go get a you know, hey,

525
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 3: I'm I can really do this, but this is what

526
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: they think of you. This is you see what I'm saying.

527
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's true.

528
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: It was the quality things that really made it onto

529
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, to television and on. But now

530
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a level playing field.

531
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: So, oh, talented, talented people out there that need opportunities.

532
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: So for them to create it on their own, I

533
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: think it's good if they're putting out some good quality stuff.

534
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: You know, once you oversat to rate the market with garbage,

535
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: then it's a problem. But yeah, it's just like an

536
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: artist that's been trying to get a deal for years

537
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 4: and years and years and nobody wants to talk to him.

538
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 4: You know, they're not giving out them deals no more

539
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: at the record labels or whatever.

540
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: They're not gonna talk to him. And you get a

541
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: group like.

542
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 4: You get it good, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna get

543
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: a group. I'm gonna go to an old school group.

544
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 4: You get a group like Wu Tang that decided they're

545
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: gonna sell their CDs out of the trunk of their car.

546
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: And unlike social media where they got people get a

547
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 4: buzz on social media, they got a buzz on mixtapes

548
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 4: and being in the street, which gave them opportunity. So

549
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 4: and it winded up being quality, which to which? And

550
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 4: I heard you talking about Angela. They are getting a

551
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: residency in Vegas.

552
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: In Vegas, I said, I'm going to Frankraft.

553
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I heard you're talking about that. And hip hop

554
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: has comes a longest way to get a residency in

555
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: Vegas is crazy.

556
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: I saw Risid talking about it too.

557
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: He said, this ain't no like a party dancing type

558
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: of This is like hip hop heads type of thing.

559
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: You know, Jodasy has a residency in Vegas. New Addition

560
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: has a residency in Vegas. I mean, Vegas is really

561
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: lit I feel like Usher at first, I feel that

562
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: there used to be a bit of a stigma, like

563
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: a residency in Vegas. People would feel like, oh right,

564
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: but now it's kind of dope, like to be.

565
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: Able to that. Yeah, Usher did that, Yeah, I mean.

566
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: And even like John Legend had a residency in Vegas,

567
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: because residency also doesn't mean what it used to me,

568
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: where you're there like all the time. Sometimes it's just

569
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: like eight dates spread out over six months, and they

570
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: call that a residency still, you know, and for some people.

571
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: But you know, what I think about though, when it

572
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: comes to that too, is like the point that she

573
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: was making who's making the money though? Who's making the money?

574
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 3: Because realistically, if they do that, you know, is it

575
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: contractually that they can't tour now, they can't move around

576
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: the country so that everybody has to come to Vegas.

577
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it. It really depends on how you

578
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: set it.

579
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: Up, right, But you understand, most of the time, it's

580
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 3: like they're doing this to take you out of the market, right,

581
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: you feel.

582
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: But they got to make it financially worth your while.

583
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: And for some people, if they have like family, they've

584
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: never had a chance to be situated.

585
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: Sure, they live there. I'm talking about fans. Yeah, the

586
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: fans we're talking about right, for the fans and the

587
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 3: rest of the people around the country, everybody has to

588
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: go to Vegas now, so Vegas wins, yeah, you feel

589
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: me versus them actually going. And so for the artists,

590
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 3: I get it, they're like, oh, you ain't got to move.

591
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: We could just do the same thing here everything like

592
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: now we're talking about the same thing like Broadway plays

593
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: and things.

594
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: Rizza has anything to do with managing the deal. I'm

595
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 4: sure they got a great deal, no joke. When it

596
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: comes to business.

597
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna get their money.

598
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: The artist is deathly yeah, he's I'm talking about At

599
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: the end of the day, the artist is gonna win.

600
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: But Vegas ultimately.

601
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: This is my point of course, let me askay this now,

602
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: since we brought up Usher, Let's just.

603
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: Say you had your young lady with you at the.

604
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 2: Usher show and ussher comes over there and pulls her

605
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: up to dance. Would you encourage her to go ahead

606
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: and you know, get hello whine on with Usher? Or

607
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: would you feel like she shouldn't do that? Because some

608
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: people were like, I'm not doing that.

609
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: My man is here.

610
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: But some people are like, go ahay girl, like it's

611
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: just a concert.

612
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: I guess it just depends on your relationship. Like and

613
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: I think that certain people can tell certain energy too,

614
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

615
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: So it's like there was a relationship to breaking up.

616
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: Really well, here's the thing, right, yeah, because you got

617
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: a guy who's like, you know, I'm not going to

618
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: say nothing, like it's on you to respond the way

619

661
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

662
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, back in the day, it didn't used to be

663
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: like that.

664
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,440

665
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,640

666
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: like developed over the like since we started dealing with

667
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: each other. And he even did Linda Wood Dining for me,

668
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: which is a back room and a dining When I.

669
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Say I paid my dues out there, but you have to.

670
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: I say, I paid my dues yo, because I wasn't

671
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: used to that. I'm gonna just be honest. I wasn't.

672
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: You know. I was getting paid a certain amount of

673
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: money the whole shows and the Traveler Country.

674
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Like I've been doing this for long.

675
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very different. It was like, okay, no,

676
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: you have to, but you have to prove yourself in

677
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: this world. And I was kind of mad about that

678
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: at first, and then then I took it shit. I

679
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I.

680
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: Got it, and think about what a treat that is

681
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: for people who don't expect for you to be in

682
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: certain places when you pop up, and I.

683
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: Was when I tell you I had a corner for

684
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: a stage, I was like, all right, this is everybody's

685
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: on stage with me. This is really like and they're

686
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: eating and you know, so it was like some of

687
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: the roughest in New York. Oh my god. Like there's

688
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: some places out here that it's like you feel like

689
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: you're at war with them when you're trying to do

690
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: your thing, cause it was like.

691
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Too much going on, so much yeah, so much eating.

692
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: But those are places that really aren't conducive to comedy.

693
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, it's a this, but we're gonna

694
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: do a comedy show any way. And it's like it's

695
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: a space game happening, but they're not trying to come on.

696
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: So who are some of the early people who embraced

697
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: you in the comedy world to stand up?

698
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: Like I said, talent for sure, aleas a de.

699
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: Chris Spencer, Oh yeah, he's he's helped a lot of

700
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: people out too.

701
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: I didn't say that. Oh sorry, you said embraced.

702
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: Well, okay, embraced.

703
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: Let's be clear. Let's be clear.

704
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: Support you know, yeah, yeah.

705
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's.

706
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: Just like if you embrace somebody, you know, that's true,

707
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: that's helping them true.

708
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: But sometimes you know, sometimes you embrace people by going, ah,

709
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, And they didn't make you

710
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 3: want to be you know, they do certain things. But

711
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: now he's definitely was supportive a lot of people, a

712
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: lot of people. I can't think of a lot of

713
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: names right now, and I feel like I'm forgetting some

714
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: a couple of people. But uh, you know, having that

715
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: theater background helped. Yeah. I think having you know, because

716
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: and that's the thing too, when people came to see me,

717
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: you know I would didn't you know, the words started

718
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: getting out and people was coming to just see the

719
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 3: shows just to like see if you was good or not,

720
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, to get that stamp or.

721
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: That all right, right, Yeah, if you had to think

722
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: about one of your favorite not necessarily stand up comedians,

723
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: but stand up specials, right, which like, let's give me

724
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: three stand up specials.

725
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: That you feel like are iconic and you two.

726
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: Ray hands down, hands down, the first Eddie Murphy e

727
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: comedy special that was the first one that in d C. Right, Deliriouslarious, Delirious,

728
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: hands Raw is number two and Dave Chappelle's killing. Maybe

729
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: that was it. I can't think of the name of it,

730
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: but it was he had and he had like a

731
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: like a he had like a one and two type

732
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 3: of situation at that time, you know what I mean.

733
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 3: It was like he released two back to back, but

734
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: it was the one where he was talking about the

735
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: LGBTQ and in the car and I can't, you know,

736
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to. I can't. I don't want to

737
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: mess it up.

738
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, they've always said that.

739
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: I think it was Kat Williams who was saying, when

740
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 2: you can remember people's jokes, that's when it's an iconic special,

741
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: you know, because sometimes there's jokes that people want you

742
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: to do when you feel like I don't want to

743
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: do the same jokes I always did, but people sometimes

744
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: come to hear those.

745
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. And I've even

746
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: said that to a certain comedian's capone because you know,

747
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 3: when he does that cursing in a different length, you know,

748
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: the accents to two different nationalities cursing each other. I'm like,

749
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 3: you gotta do that for me, please please just touch it.

750
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: And Kat Williams got that first one too, when he was,

751
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: you know, pretending to be the animal in the cage

752
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 3: when he was it was like taking pictures of my genius.

753
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,440

00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: see them again the next day, it was like I

774
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: felt like going back to work again. I was like, Okay,

775
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: this is this is kind of weird, you know, and

776
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: then just having those moments because they built the set

777
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: and us being in those areas like oh, remember what

778
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 3: happened when we did this? Remember when this, you know,

779
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: and that kind of thing. So it was it was

780
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 3: kind of nice, kind of bittersweet, was it?

781
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: Talk of doing more.

782
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: In a different way, in a different way, and that

783
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 3: that still might be happening actually, So yeah, yeah, because

784
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: you know, me and Martin, we we get together a

785
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 3: lot more.

786
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Now, that's dope. I love that.

787
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. So and I was at this house about

788
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 3: a month ago. You know what I'm saying that we

789
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 3: talked about a couple of things.

790
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: Right, It's like people have their own struggles, you know,

791
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: during certain times, and just to come through on the

792
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: other side and be like, man, what was we you know.

793
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: Again when you when you're young, you know.

794
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 4: And I'd like to see a movie called Martin, just

795
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: Martin the movie. I would love to see something like, well, you.

796
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: Know, yeah something no no no.

797
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: No, no no no no, no, I.

798
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: Don't know anything, you know what, but when he says

799
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: different ways of doing things, like that's a tremendous way

800
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 4: to do it like Martin the movie would be crazy.

801
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 4: You know.

802
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: Well, also timing is everything too. You got to understand

803
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 3: timing is everything. Like when we you know, I feel like,

804
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 3: could we have done a spin off or or could

805
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: we have done something sooner? Absolutely, you know, but after

806
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: a certain amount of time passes, then you gotta change directions, right,

807
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: and then maybe that's the way.

808
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 2: He was supposed that kind of like bel Air did

809
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: for the Fresh Prince like iteration.

810
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: It's a new spin on something. So that's why I

811
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: said in a different way, you know.

812
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know when you say yourself ideally filming your special.

813
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. I know. I used to think

814
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: the South, you know, because I like Atlanta or someplace

815
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 3: like that. I definitely like d C. Okay, I like

816
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: d C. I like d C. I saw Jay Nap.

817
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: She just is a female comedian. I saw her show

818
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: just recently and she did it in Harlem and it

819
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: was like a theater in the round, okay always yeah,

820
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: so yeah, I like that kind of and it's intimate

821
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: and you get to play the all sides, So that

822
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 3: would actually play with a lot of the way I,

823
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: you know, I'm crafting my show.

824
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, and how personal do you get in your

825
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: stand up? Very very okay, because I feel like people

826
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: feel sometimes like your personal life is very.

827
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. I think people appreciate that, right

828
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: because I think what's what's personal to you is also universal.

829
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: I think we've all gone through the same stuff, just

830
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: on different levels, you know, or people think or because

831
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: you up here or when I say up here, you know.

832
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: What I mean, right, like not tall, no kidding.

833
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 3: People put you on a certain level and they think

834
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: that you don't go through the same things that they do.

835
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: And then when they when you, when they realize that

836
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: you do, they'll be like, Okay, people want to know.

837
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: Okay, people want to know.

838
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 4: Not for comedians too.

839
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: I talk about them too, And one of them is

840
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 3: going to be here at the show, so I don't

841
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: know if he knows about the new stuff.

842
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: That I got heads up at all.

843
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 3: No, No, I just look at him and we're sitting

844
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: at dinner.

845
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 4: I'll be like, you know what's great, Angela about doing

846
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 4: personal stuff? Nobody could say you took it from somewhere else.

847
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: This is my life. How you're going to tell me

848
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 4: it's all about? It's my personal story.

849
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: Because you always hear people be like they stole jokes.

850
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: When I first started out, I definitely did. I definitely

851
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: did what. I didn't know what I was doing, kidding me,

852
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what I was doing, but I would

853
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: tell the comedian like I would tell him specifically, Hey,

854
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: you know, I'm gonna take this right and this that

855
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 3: hall like, you know I'm doing that right, you know

856
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 3: it's crazy, I'm gonna do that. Yeah, and they would

857
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 3: laugh and then I'll be like, yo, I'll come back

858
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: and yeah that killed in South Carolina son, I was

859
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 3: killing him and they were.

860
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 4: Like, Angela, you're familiar with Michael Klia, said Michael Kia comedian. Yes,

861
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: so he has a whole bit he does when he says, listen,

862
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a disclaiming right now. The next five

863
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 4: jokes I'm doing are not mine. These comedians have passed away,

864
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 4: but I made a commitment to myself to keep their

865
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 4: jokes alive.

866
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: That's different.

867
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: And then he would yes, the way he yea. The

868
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: way he approaches it is like.

869
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: There were probably iconic jokes, but this was saying I'm

870
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 3: about to see a joke, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And

871
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 3: it's crazy because Chris Spenser did that to me once. No,

872
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 3: he did. He did. He was like, he was like, hey, hey,

873
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 3: Carl Carre, you still doing that. I was like, he

874
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 3: was like, ye'all, I just want to let you know

875
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: that I killed in Iowa. And I was like, I

876
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 3: was like, and so now I have a rapport with

877
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: a lot of different comedians where we trade jokes, like

878
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 3: because if it's something new, like everybody has the same

879
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: experiences but told differently, right, So, and that's what happens.

880
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 3: And then you'll find yourself sometimes doing a show with

881
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 3: a comedian that you never heard of before who's had

882
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: the same experience as you. But if you don't know

883
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: him and you don't say, hey, stay away from this material,

884
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: and then he'll go on before you and do a

885
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: joke so close to yours that he wasn't paying attention.

886
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: You can't go out there and say the same joke

887
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 3: because he just did it.

888
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 4: Then you look crazy that subject matter, you look crazy.

889
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: Right, And so that's what happened to me at one

890
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: of the shows where somebody came up to me after

891
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: the show and was like, I like how you I

892
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 3: like how you flipped it, But yeah, what you're talking

893
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 3: about it was like, I like how you flipped the

894
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 3: other comedians. I was like, and so I was like,

895
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 3: That's when I was like, yeah, I gotta watch these

896
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: other comedians first and let them know. Hey, man, don't

897
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: you know or whatever. But that's what we do now,

898
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 3: you know. Fhase on Love that's my boy.

899
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: Which is why I told Carl, who do you want

00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 4: to open?

901
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:14,719

933
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,879

934

937
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: You think now that you and Martin are like really

938
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: speaking like that, do you ever talk to him about

939
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: like what do you think about this?

940
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: Or since he's a stand up guy.

941
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what I'm saying. That's what I was

942
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 3: kind of just getting into now Like, yeah, he comes,

943
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: you know, he'll ask me the same thing. How it

944
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: was during the show, Like a lot of those characters,

945
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff we would always collaborate on, right,

946
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: you know, he would say, Yo, what you think of this?

947
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: I'll be like, Yo, you gotta do this, you gotta

948
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: do it like this. And that was the same kind

949
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 3: of like we picked up right where we left off.

950
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: That's dope.

951
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 3: He was just in his little man cave, you know,

952
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: and we was you know, politicking as you say, putting

953
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 3: one in the air, you know what I mean, And

954
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: we just started throwing stuff on the wall again.

955
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, because y'all went through some things that only

956
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: the two you know what I'm saying that people can

957
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: never on the outside understand just having such an iconic

958
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 2: experience together.

959
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think that's kind of what happened, right,

960
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: you know, it was organic and just like when you know,

961
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 3: you can't force things right, you can't force it even

962
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's reconciliation or whatever it is, right,

963
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 3: you can't try. Things got to happen organically. So that's

964
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 3: how you just and that's kind of why my energy

965
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: is what it is. I just let things happen. They

966
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: just let it happen.

967
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: There's a title, I just let things happen, you know.

968
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 3: But things happen, Yes, they do, you know. And you

969
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 3: know what I've been saying a lot in my show.

970
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: A lot. I was just saying, like, like, you know,

971
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 3: the expression fuck around and find out. Yes, I've always

972
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 3: been that guy knock around, fortunately and unfortunately I've always

973
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 3: been a fuck around and find out type of person.

974
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: So so I told and I found myself saying that

975
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 3: a lot in the show, and that's what I thought

976
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 3: it was going to be. It might be geared towards

977
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 3: because things happened.

978
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,879
