Speaker 1: a little bit on the show. But then I have

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: to say this, when you talk about chemistry. One of

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: the things that was important to me When Cedric first said,

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, will you be my wife in this series?

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: I didn't immediately say yes. The first question I asked

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: is do we love each other? That was what was

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: important to me, Like do we get to see black

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: love or wife just sassy and a husband is a

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: smart all? I just want type thing. I just wanted

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: real love. I just wanted my kids to be able

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: to see a black couple on TV that go through

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: what they go through, but you can tell that they

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: love each other. And you guys are very family oriented

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: on the show as well. Even family members is very supportive. Yeah,

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: not really popular these days though. You always find like

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: if you don't have a hell lass or something, you know,

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: like I'm just saying, like you gotta have like all

64
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the social issues interesting, you know, like you know, it's

65
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: not is everybody really like that? Like, you know, it's

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: some cool people that live good lives and they go along,

67
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: they get up, they do their jobs, and you know,

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: they're fun and you love them. They love their families.

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all it is to it to the show.

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Do you ever get scared that a joke won't hit

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Oh? Yeah, you know, because

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: make the crowd laugh. That's what the people there for,

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: right Well, and when you do the show live though,

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm not scared is because my TV

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: husband is also a king of comedy and if something

76
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: doesn't work in a moment, he gonna pull something out

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna this that'll fix it, right, Yeah, you know

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: what I mean? The show thirty minutes, Well, it's a

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: live episode, I mean. And when you do when when

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: you do our season premiere is live. Everything else we take,

81
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: but when you do it live, what you see is

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: what you get in last season, right in the middle

83
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: of the show when we're supposed to be boys and Lilly,

84
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: he said, Niece, get the doubt, And I was like,

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: what is You know that it is that kind of

86
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: thing with a live audience, you know, and then you're

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: doing it, You're doing the premiere live like you know,

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: you basically on the high wire. You're out there doing it,

89
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, and so you you have to trust, you

90
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: know that you have to make that audience laugh. You

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: hopefully that if it makes us laugh, it'll make you

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: half at home. And that's the kind of thing that

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: you know they try to do. But I'm you know,

94
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I take a lot of uh freedom because I you know,

95
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: I co created the show animate executive producer. So if

96
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: if it fails, then you know, hey, man, it was

97
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: it was what I thought would work, and so I

98
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: go with that. You know, it's hard for you to

99
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: play a reverend a little bit. I mean, sell the man,

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? You know. The thing is is

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: that you you wanted to try to play a real

102
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: person that also has these flaws. So you know, I

103
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of reverends that are good people, and

104
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, when you get to know them up close,

105
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: you realize they got flaws like regularly regular individuals. So

106
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go to that part. And so

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it does feel like we got, especially in the

108
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: first season, we got to areas where we felt like

109
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: it could be a little blasphemers, you know, like you know,

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I end up eating some weed cupcakes or something, you

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: know I'm saying, and you think like, well, you know,

112
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: like is that too far? Like you know, but you

113
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, it was like you know, I was trying

114
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: to stop somebody else from being, you know, on drugs

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: or whatever. And it was a it was a choice

116
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: I made at the time. Like so you know, uh,

117
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, I have a good time feeling like feeling

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: cool about myself when you pushed it, pushed the envelope

119
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: or ask a question, is this spiritually sound? You know

120
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: what I mean? Why are you looking at him like

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: that easy, just because I'm just I'm just checking this answer,

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: just trying to see where he lands with it, because

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: you sometimes it says, baby, I think I'm being a

124
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: little blash man. Well no, but I'm just let's just

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: talk about session for a second, because you know, even

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: like when we're on our church set, yea, you forget

127
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like punking, we in the church, stop cussing.

128
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Don't don't cuss so quick in here, but ratchet it

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: back down. Okay, And oh that's what you found. I

130
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: didn't know that you can find god temple anyway. Oh right,

131
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm with all that on. You know, keeping your man

132
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: now subject for you being a married man and being

133
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: on the show a TV husband, but share advice for

134
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: keeping your women happy? Well, you know, you have to

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: pay attention. And I think you know that's the thing

136
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: about it is, is to care about your woman always

137
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: to you know, to pay attention to, to listen, to

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: talk to, to date, to be involved. You know. I

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: think these are things that happens after a while in

140
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: your relationships. You find yourself either taking your own selfish

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: attitudes towards the relationship and you don't really pay attention

142
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: to your mate. And I've been married with fifteen years now,

143
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: we've been together eighteen. So it is that process of

144
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: of caring, like you just have to. You have to

145
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to make yourself care, like I mean,

146
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: it's the truth of the matter. Like relationships, you're like, oh,

147
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't care what you're talking about. But yeah, man,

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I need a book, a deal, and a show. Yes,

149
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: my dog right there, he got a hundred things going

150
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: on top five. Oh yeah, now I see that that

151
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: character right there? You like that nothing, It was some

152
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: praise going on around there. But yeah, but but that character,

153
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: that was fun. And you know, I like the opportunity,

154
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: like in uh to be off there, like in a

155
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: hunted house with that, just to do these wild characters

156
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: that's off the chain that you just you know, you can,

157
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, you can dive out of that kind of normal,

158
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: easy going Cedric mold that people like y'oll said, just easy,

159
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: he cool, like I'll do some wild stuff. I'll be Charlemagne.

160
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: I got a Charlemagne this side of me. Oh that

161
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: that character is top five. That was me when I

162
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: used to be a promoter. You know, it's it's a hundred.

163
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a hundred. Every everybody who's done this,

164
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: like you go around you you know, these guys, they

165
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: all they could promise you the world. They all bleed,

166
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: I get this whatever you need a millionaire. What happened

167
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: was that you didn't want to do it, you got tired.

168
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Well you know when they changed it. You know the

169
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: thing it was, they went they moved the show to Connecticut.

170
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: So you know when it was here in New York,

171
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: it was really you know, it was advantageous to me

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: to be here, to be in the city, to be

173
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: able to do other business and do the show. And

174
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: we had some great opportunities here. When they moved into Connecticut,

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: it was just one of those situations where it wasn't

176
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna work. It was you you're there three to four

177
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: months and I'm I got small kids. I mean, I

178
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: live in LA and it just wasn't conducive to be

179
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: like in Connecticut for four months. They really put you

180
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: out of the loop. So I passed on it. And

181
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: they were there and they were shrinking the show. I

182
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: think they were actually trying to you know, either you know,

183
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: wrap it up or whatever. So they were shrinking the show.

184
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: They were bringing down everything. So all the producers I

185
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: came to the show with that'd be like, you know,

186
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: all y'all guys. They was bringing in a whole new

187
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: crew and it was just me. So I was like,

188
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: now I don't want to do that. Now, both of

189
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: y'all know how to keep a check. And recently Lee

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Daniel said, you know, you got to know how to

191
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: play the game. Yeah, is that true? You really have

192
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to know how to play the game because y'all stayed working. Well,

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, I have a lot of jobs, and um

194
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know necessarily about that. I keep

195
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: them by playing the game. But I do understand what

196
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: he meant by you know, there is a show and

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: there is a part of it that is a business.

198
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: Um for me, I guess my my own thing I

199
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: try to do is to diversify. I want all my

200
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: stuff to be different. Like I love playing Cedric's wife

201
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: on the show. Then I do my job on HBO,

202
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: which is so very different from from that job, which

203
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: is getting on I just did Selma. Yeah, I was

204
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: a lesbian on the Mindy Project and then Knock It Off.

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I was in the I was also in the historical

206
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: drama selling let me bring it back up? Yes, um,

207
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: and I'm about to start a new project with Ryan

208
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Murphy called Scream Queens. So I like all of everything

209
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: that kind of And y'all know I'm an author because

210
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: you talked about my book. But I like to just

211
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: try different things. But but but this is part of

212
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: the business. That is the business and not the show,

213
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: you know, coming around and promoting and you know, it's

214
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: a part of it. Yeah, I mean it's it's definitely

215
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: a part of it. I mean, you know, for a

216
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: long time, and it was a couple of different things

217
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: doing that argument. Like I thought though, I thought that

218
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: they both had, you know, valid points to what they

219
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: were talking about. But you know, the one thing that

220
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Monique that resonated with me was was the idea of

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: going to con And you know, you have to go

222
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: to promote with the expectation that you're supposed to do

223
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: these things when you really participate in such a small

224
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: part of a movie, like I mean, and you know,

225
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I think that it's important to be able to go

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: and promote. But when you when you when you're an artist,

227
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: you're a creative person. You got you got a life,

228
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: you got a lot of things that you do. When

229
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: when asked to do things that are like beyond the

230
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: scope of what the contract is, then what's the where's

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity in it? For me? I get it, Like, yeah,

232
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: I love the idea of going to CON. I get that,

233
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: But it's gonna cost me money to do this, like

234
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna cost me time to do this.

235
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: And if it's not valuable to you then and I

236
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, I ran into a situation like that on

237
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: Barbershop the Barbershop too, and so we made it. We

238
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: made a different kind of deal. But you have to

239
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: be you have to make sure that your messages is

240
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: understood with the people in not coming off as something

241
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: that you know, I just want something. But I get

242
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: her point. I get that, Like, man, we work hard,

243
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: you don't. You just don't expect me to change everything.

244
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, and then go, well, you just

245
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: didn't play the game. You didn't play the game. They care.

246
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean certain artists they you know, they do that.

247
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: I mean you know, and and and you learn from

248
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: other people, like like the international aspect, like Will Smith.

249
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: You know, he taught all of us that you gotta

250
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: go out there and promote your over internationally and get

251
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: it known. It's important for you to become a brand internationally.

252
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: So there is a sacrifice to that, and sometimes it's

253
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: want to cost you like but again, if you Will Smith,

254
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: you can afford to do that. If you making fifty

255
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: thousand on the movie, that's a different that's a different choice.

256
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Like you like, I don't know about that move right there.

257
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: We don't see you in Bobershop. Three. It's because it

258
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: was difficult to work with shop. Damn right, yeah yeah,

259
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Three. We getting we're close, we close close,

260
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: we close studs. I negotiate my can Field Festival Tripp

261
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: making that to move right now, that's my whole move

262
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: about my international travel with any I gotta ask you,

263
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: um Felicia Rishid. They just did an article about how

264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: she's coming back to TV and she's going to be

265
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: playing a lesbian FBI agent in a new series of

266
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: clos Justice. Yeah, as in Claire Huxtable. Now, now some

267
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: people are asking this, it's going to ruin her legacy

268
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: as missus Huxtable. What do you think about all these

269
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: characters on TV? Now? You know, I see a lot

270
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: of people talking about why there's so many gay characters

271
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: on television, you know what. First of all, to answer

272
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the first question, no, I don't think it's gonna ruin

273
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: her legacy. I think she's an artist. I mean, and

274
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: as an artist, you can't say every role I'm gonna do,

275
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be America's mom and that's the only thing

276
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that that would be so narrow and

277
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: so limb. That's like an artist only doing you know,

278
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the same song all the time. This is like, come on,

279
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you want new music,

280
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: you want new material because that feeds us as an artist.

281
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: So no, I don't think that's gonna affects her career

282
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: in any sort of negative way. And I just think

283
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: that art imitates life. And now we're living in a

284
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: day and age where it's you know, becoming more socially

285
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: acceptable to stand in your truth and be who you are,

286
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: and people want to see themselves represented on television. So

287
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why. Yeah, I don't mind

288
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: the gay roles as long as like they're they're gay

289
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: for a reason, not just gay just because you won't

290
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: gave people to watch your show, right, you know what

291
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the gay cop or gay attorney. But who network?

292
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Remember Logo, They had a whole network that was just

293
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: dedicated for gay And you know she's going to do

294
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: it with a degree of dignity. I mean, she's just

295
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, she's just that kind of person or in

296
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a natural character. So but the ideology of recognizing that

297
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: this could be a real person, that this is somebody

298
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: who out there lives is true. Felicia as an actress

299
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and you know, a great artist, she's gonna be able

300
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: to deliver that. Now she get it to some real

301
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: hot lesbian stuff. Then that too much, too much, too

302
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: much to think about her husband Cluston, Texas. You can't, man,

303
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: just for a minute, this is Row with Mom and

304
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Steve Game. Oh my god, that's just unacceptable. What happened.

305
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm tables turned real quick. Yeah, yeah, that alone, but

306
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: that's already weird. You know, the mustache getting your husband

307
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: say all right, you know this is a little different.

308
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: I like the role bring somebody into the barroom. No,

309
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: he did not. My husband didn't even know that. I

310
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: don't even he knew I was a landscape. But he

311
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't know that Mindy and I were gonna kiss on

312
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: the show. So he when he watched it for the

313
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: first time and then he saw the kids, he said,

314
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: straight up in the bed and then he looked at me,

315
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: and then he looked back into the TV and he

316
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: looked at me like and then he was like, oh,

317
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: so that's how you feel. And I'm like, what you act? Like?

318
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: I said, I was just acting. It's like, you didn't

319
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: walk into the bedroom and catch me kissing the woman.

320
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: It was insane. And he was like, oh yeah, yeah,

321
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: and he was just looking you know. But I mean,

322
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: I guess it's different when it's your red, you know

323
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. You could watch TV and see anybody

324
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: do whatever, but like, you know, his wife had to

325
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: see top five or did your wife see you? And

326
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: touldn't look at yea. So it's different why And it's

327
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: different when it's your, your person and you feel a

328
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: little like, you know, wait a minute, with many like

329
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: did you give this morning and we're about to kiss? No, Actually,

330
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Mindy said to me, Cedric, Actually she said to me.

331
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: After the first time my kisser, she was like, oh

332
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: my god, you're a really great kisser, and I can

333
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: do so much better. I'm this next well, and I've

334
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: had him for a long time, so I know what

335
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: to do. Um. And and so she just wanted to

336
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: challenge herself to be a better kisser. So I was like, okay,

337
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: but it's cool. It doesn't really matter how you kisses.

338
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: You taught it some tricks. Well, god, is it true

339
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: that you and Shery sheperd once went to go key

340
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: kills because kat William stood up, Well, okay, okay, here,

341
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: here here's the thing. Um. The short answer is yes,

342
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: but don't show up for much of nothing. Well, you

343
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: know what, but the thing we did. But I was

344
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: the sound. I was the voice of reason though, because

345
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: I was like wait a minute, you know what I mean,

346
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Because she is the one person in real life who

347
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: I would call if I needed bail money. I'm the

348
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: person she would call if we both in this together.

349
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna make it. Somebody ain't gonna make it

350
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: home tonight. So I was like, wait, I'm man. You

351
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: know I did talk her out of it, but yeah,

352
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: you heard about that. Yeah, come on, let's move on.

353
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: Like one of my writer moments, Cedric's barber Battle. Yeah,

354
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: why do you always want you to the barber shop?

355
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: I want to cut it for real. I don't know

356
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: how to cut it here at all, you know what

357
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: I mean. But it's just one of those you know,

358
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: I think you know from the movies, from the barber

359
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Shop movie. It was always that, you know, It's one

360
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: of those the real black country club like place where

361
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: we go, where we hang out. It just really an

362
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: identifiable spot of a place where there's a lot of

363
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: social issues discussed, whereas the freedom to be whoever you

364
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: want to be, to have a different, you know, type

365
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: of opinion about the life and everything. So uh, you know,

366
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: and in this world had never really been like you know,

367
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, with all of the reality shows,

368
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: it's never really been captured. So but a lot of

369
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: these guys, like like tattoo artists, they just really talented nowadays.

370
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: They have a real skill set. They talk a gang

371
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: of stuff, they own on many of the subject matters,

372
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: and we thought this would be a real cool place

373
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: to go in and and create a reality series where

374
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: you see guys that can really cut hair and get down,

375
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, talk a little trash, have a good time.

376
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: And so we thought, you know, and these Barbara battles

377
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: are real. They're out there, you know, all around the country.

378
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: They have them every you know, every weekend. That's showing

379
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: their skills, and so we thought we try to capture

380
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: and put it on television. So we look forward to

381
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: doing that on CW on April seventeenth and prevent They

382
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: actually they came to me, the producers came to me

383
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: with it early, and then I helped develop it so

384
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: you know, EP and it and then you know, shaping

385
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: in and turn into a show. So we, uh, we

386
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: did that. Um it took a you know, over a

387
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: year to really kind of get it, you know, shaped

388
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: up and everything, so we were happy with it. We

389
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: came to New York We've done a lot of a

390
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of them here, harl of them and uh queens.

391
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: Then we went over to Jersey. That was hot. You

392
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of real dope barbers all around. Man,

393
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: Are you ever just talented anymore? Are you just always

394
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: like ep? Uh, you know, only like in the movie,

395
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: like you know, like you know movies. But most of

396
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: the time I try to console. I try to, you know,

397
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: have make sure that I can, you know, have an

398
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: opinion on what, you know, what it is that I'm

399
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: trying to say or do in the in the in

400
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: the project. So I usually ep and them sarchs of time.

401
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: The thing about him is that that he really knows

402
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: his business. What you finishing this or something? You know? No, no,

403
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: Felicia wasn't like this. Yeah, listen, I want you to

404
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: knock it off. You know, his wife is. It's kind

405
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: of from the hood and I don't need everybody settle down. No,

406
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: But I look up to e Centric so much because

407
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: I watch him leading our show and he's just so

408
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: smart about it. It's not like you know, somebody put

409
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: their name or something. You're just saying something make that

410
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: black instead of around you know, you're just like, oh

411
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: my God with this guy knock it off. But he's

412
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: really not that guy. So because he is smart, it

413
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And he knows the business side of

414
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: the show as well, so it it makes sense. Who's

415
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: a diva in the bunch? You guys got to do

416
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: a lot of press. Who's the diva, who takes the longest,

417
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: who's the hardest to work with? Who? Honestly you were here?

418
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: But you know what, I don't think we really have

419
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: a diva. We do have people who are time challenge okay, hi,

420
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'm very dark. I don't deny that it's real.

421
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: It's really is a part of my DNA. Yeah, so,

422
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: but I don't really think we have Do you feel

423
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: like we have a No? No, I mean it's a

424
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: it's a very very cool said I think that. No. No,

425
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, you're amazing. You know, you have a energy

426
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: you you know you have you know, she's always brightened

427
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: the morning, a lot of love. She comes in. She

428
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: makes everybody feel the same way, like on the set,

429
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: like all you know, and I mean this is like

430
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: camera crew, like grips everybody. She's very loving like that,

431
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, that's the attitude that

432
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: we try to have, so you don't really get a

433
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: lot of like temper tangiums or somebody just you know,

434
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: flexing a you know, she could like she got a

435
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: lot of shows going on and a lot of things.

436
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: You know, you'd be like, well, you know, you could

437
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: be flexing if you needed to, but you know, thank

438
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: you very much. Yeah, but the fresh Prince Mama, Yeah, yeah,

439
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: the girl from UM with some old show used to be.

440
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: You came to the defensive us, Inda, how did you

441
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: feel about a Juliana's apology and did you think of

442
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: comments were like racist? It was very ill fitting. But

443
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: what I did think was that I loved Zandaa's response

444
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: and I just said that, you know, hopefully this will educate,

445
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: inform and enlighten moving forward, because some people don't. You know,

446
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: you you do have some people who are, you know,

447
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: very blatant in how they feel, and you have some

448
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: that think, oh, I think that's okay because of the

449
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the music I listened to or

450
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: the people I hang around, that I could say this

451
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: and it's okay. And you you were not necessarily trying

452
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: to be malicious, but you were out of order, and

453
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you just need a polite check. And I think

454
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: that that's what that email was, just kind of like

455
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: a you know, it was kind of like a polite check. Yeah,

456
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: I think it whenever you can just tell when people

457
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: have been watching Fox News and then they get on

458
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: their real job, they just say, it's some Fox News stuff.

459
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: You don't even know. You were, like, when the hell

460
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: did that come from? Because Julian and she cool people,

461
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: but that was like one of them remarks that just

462
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: came from out like you're like, what you're talking about

463
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: right now? You know, So I think you know that

464
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: it needed to be corrected, and I thought that the

465
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: young lady did a great job responding tour and uh,

466
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about the apology, but you know,

467
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: just a comedy because you're a comedian, you were, nah,

468
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, she's not a comedian, So I mean,

469
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: if it was comedian saying that, you might go, all right,

470
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: cool comedians will push your button and be saying things

471
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: just for you know, the purposes of it. But yeah,

472
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, exactly, and sometimes you know, funny missus.

473
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: But you know again, but if you're a comedian, you

474
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: know that that's that's the part of the brain that's

475
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: working when you try something and they may miss, you

476
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But when you're not a comedian,

477
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: that's like, you know, you're you're a commentator. You're a

478
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: person who's like on the red car, you know, carpet commentating,

479
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Reporting, Like that's a bit

480
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: that's a bit bold to take that shot. When you're

481
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: doing comedy, is there anything that you won't go or

482
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: won't talk about? Not necessarily? I mean, you know, I

483
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I think you have to be

484
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: free as comedian. That was something I remember, you know,

485
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: coming up early, Like people used to think I didn't

486
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: curse at all, and my mom used to, you know,

487
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: come she would come to my shows and then she

488
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, my mother was a school teacher, so she

489
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: used to always try to get me to use my

490
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: words and language and all these things. But you know,

491
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: whenever I felt like I needed to say something that

492
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: had a curse word in it or the way that

493
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: it felt, the way I felt about it, I just like,

494
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be free to say that, like you just so,

495
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: sometimes you can push a joke subject matter, you can

496
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: say things that maybe beyond the scope, but I like

497
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: those kind of comedians like I mean, I like people

498
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: that go over the edge and push the button to

499
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: the other way. So, you know, I think that, uh, comedy,

500
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: you had to be that free. That's why you had

501
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: people like Chris Rock that you know, they they they

502
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: they pushed the humvelope along, you know, people like Kat

503
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Williams and you like you extremely funny dude like and

504
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: he says it his own weight, you know what I'm saying.

505
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: So the the ident of the identification of being able

506
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: to say, alright, cool, this is my voice just the

507
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: way I want to say it, you know, you know,

508
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: and then then you have a right as a person

509
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: to go I don't really like that, that's not my

510
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: taste or whatever. But Bash, when you said Martin Viking

511
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: was a whole yeah, yeah, man, yeah, that was That

512
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: was probably one of the most controversial times that I

513
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: had as a comedian, you know, uh, you know, dealing

514
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: with that, you know, because all the civil right Jesse

515
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: Jackson called me in my house. Really this all cedric

516
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: all this is Jesse like, man, you get this number,

517
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, and well, you know, I mean, and he

518
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: had a valid point, which I thought was really great.

519
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: He was like the thing about this is that when

520
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: you put something out like that, whatever you say, you

521
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: got to remember that these films are going beyond uh

522
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, the this kind of core audience that you

523
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: think you're performing for, and that so it's going to Brazil,

524
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: let's going to all these other countries, and they could

525
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: take excerpts of that and and manipulate it and and

526
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: then show them just that. Like so you had a

527
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: whole generation of kids growing up. Not often I have

528
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: a dream speech, but off of Martin Luther King was

529
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: a whole like that's the part that they're going to

530
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: teach them. And so that was his that was his point.

531
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: I you know, I accepted that, um, you know, as

532
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: you know validation then you know, also said, you know,

533
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: as as an artist and as a person that was

534
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: just doing this character, that's what that character's point of

535
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: view was. And I mean I understand the controversy, and

536
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: I think that you have to take your argument up

537
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: with MGM. But they showed it. They kind of exposed

538
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: this album a little bit. Yeah, Martin was getting it

539
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: in well, I mean that's bill was that. That was

540
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: the part about it that you know, again, you know

541
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: people uh you know, people you don't want to live

542
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: with the truth. When you icon eye somebody, you don't

543
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: want to necessarily take away from the fact that they

544
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: are this icon and they're this great person one on

545
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: one level, and then that they are individual and a

546
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: human being on another level. And so these are the

547
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: things that you do have to be careful of, you know.

548
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that you know, as artists,

549
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: when you're doing art, you have to be you have

550
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: to have the freedom to tell the truth that you

551
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: see it. So you know, when people want to show

552
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: these aspects of it and understand that that is a

553
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: part of who is, what his legacy is, then you

554
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: can decide if that was enough to validate, you know,

555
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: or devalue him as a human being, like you know,

556
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: like all the greatness that he did, because you know,

557
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: he also liked girls, like a lot of them. Like

558
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: you know, all right, you know, I don't see the

559
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: wrong with it. I'm a man, I get it. Yeah, Yeah,

560
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: that's story. It's true for a lot of pastors. But

561
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: you know, you try to live in that place to

562
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: cover that. But then you do have some that are

563
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: like you know, hearing my bullet holes in my stab wounds,

564
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: this is the life I lived and you know that

565
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But probably it probably resonated even more

566
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: because he wasn't the one who was owning it. You know,

567
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: somebody else was telling his truth, so it you know, yeah, yeah,

568
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the thing about that when you because

569
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: it's all at hindsight, you know, it's after the fact

570
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: that he's passed on. He don't have any any defense

571
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: of this, this thing that people are be like, Yo,

572
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: we got the tapes and this is what happened. This

573
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: what you did. You're like, well, I could you know,

574
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't have an argument for that if I needed to.

575
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I guess or not. You know you character,

576
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: so man gonna be cheating on soon. I ain't trying

577
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: to get beat up. We really ry Centric, y'all got

578
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: some energy between y'all. I mean, it just works for

579
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: the show. Though it works for the show, my husband

580
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: is not an entertainment at all. And the best compliment

581
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: he gave me, he just was like, you know, I

582
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: love you and you and Centric have such a great

583
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: chemistry together, and I was like, oh, thank you. Then

584
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: he touched my arm very strongly and said on camera,

585
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm saying, just tested you sometimes,

586
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: but y'all can't just pop up this to see, man,

587
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Pop upst jay? Cool? Cool, cool

588
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: as a fan. Don't be honest though, but I'll be

589
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: playing with a lot. I mean, what day I was playing?

590
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: What I was like? He was like doing this old

591
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: lovey place thing and it was like baby. About ten

592
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: minutes later he looked through the STU. I was like,

593
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: oh man, that would have been a horrible Your wife, yeah,

594
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: my wife pop up too. She suits, she like a

595
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: she like a cat. My wife so quiet, you pop

596
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: up and be gone, and maybe like your wife was here.

597
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, hell, what's your thing? Is there

598
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: rules and parameters as married couples, like when you're playing

599
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: a married role? Is is it rules and parameters in

600
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: your real relationship? Like I don't do this, don't do that,

601
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: don't do this? Well what I well? I mean, I mean,

602
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: I guess everybody is different, you know, but for me

603
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: and mine, you know what I mean? If I don't

604
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: have to kiss another actor with tongue, if it if

605
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: it really don't call for that, then I don't do

606
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: it just because it's a kiss. You know what I mean. Um,

607
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,320
