And did you make him work 82 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: for it before he's before you said, you know what, 83 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: now it's time for us to work together because he's 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: really good.

He actually 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: made me work to get him the show because I 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: had an idea to do the show ten years ago. 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: The different slightly different but him father and son, and 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: he's like, nah, I'm not ready. I actually wrote a sketch, 90 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: I mean a script, and I sent it to him 91 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: and he was like yeah. And then he talked to 92 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: his people and they was like, yo, Pops, it's not 93 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: a good time. I was like, what he said, my people, 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm your people. He started in my sack, 95 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: but you talk about your people. But he wanted to 96 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: he wanted to do it on his own, you know, 97 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: and I had to respect that. I'm like, all right, 98 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: go ahead, and you know, he built a little resume 99 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 2: and to the point where, you know, I kind of 100 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: set back and just let him go because it was 101 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: you know, when I was out there trying to get 102 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: my career, keep my career going, and he was trying 103 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: to get his career going. It was hard because I 104 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: would actually he would go at the meetings and they 105 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: thought he was me wow, and he was like, Yo, 106 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: this is awkward. So I kind of just set back. 107 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: I ain't you know. I just let him get his 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: his thing. And then I was like, all right, I'm 109 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 2: ready to go back to work, and he's just like, 110 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: it's not the time. So when you know this came along, 111 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: I actually went out and sold the show without him 112 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: first to like I had a bidding war for it, 113 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: and then I was like, look, they want this, it's 114 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: it's it's is this is low hanging fruit. Come on 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: and do this. He was like yeah, okay. And the 116 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: funny thing is just how guy worked. The day that 117 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: I asked him to do this show, his show, he 118 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: had a show on TBS. They canceled it. He was 119 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: supposed to fly out the next week to do this show, 120 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: and that's why I called him because I knew it should. 121 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, one thing that you said earlier, because I never 122 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: took you as somebody that had anger, like just it's 123 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: always joy and being around Shack, I've noticed sometimes that 124 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: he can use anger as a really powerful fuel, and 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 4: I was curious, whether it's art, comedy and sports with Shack. 126 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: When you get control over it, how does it give 127 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: you maybe an advantage over other people that don't have 128 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: that naturally. 129 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Well, I look at anger as the pilot light in 130 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: my life. It can't be the flame because it'll consume you. 131 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: But if you use it and know how to access it, 132 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: turn it on. All it is is passion, and if 133 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: you let it get out of control, it becomes something. 134 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: It can be violent, it can be self destructive. But 135 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: if you learn to control that pilot light, then eight 136 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: too many people can beat you. 137 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: It's the best time of the year for college hoops.
