1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: And I remember one time when they started writing in

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: all that scripts and they laugh about this. They wrote

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: and then Kill does something physical, Kill goes crazy, and

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even like give the action because they just

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: didn't know what I might do. So they go next,

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: which was fun. Man, Hey, what's up everybody? This is

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: Keil Mitchell, and I love the quote that says, it's

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a great day for a good day.

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Let's go.

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: Here we are again, everybody. Yep, you guessed it. This

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: is another episode of Off the Beat. I am your host,

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: Brian Bomgartner. You might say my guest today is all

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: that he's a good guy. Yes, I'm talking about the

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: very very funny Kill Mitchell. You've probably known Kel for

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 3: a long time, like since he was just a kid.

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: He was on the Nickelodeon Sketch comedy show, all that

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: groundbreaking in its time. But you probably didn't even need

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: me to say his last name because he's also half

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: of the iconic duo Keenan and Kell, the other half,

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: of course, being SNL's own Keenan Thompson. The pair were

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: also the brains behind another iconic duo, Ed and Dex

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: from the hit Sketch Turned movie Good Burger, and you

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,560

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: Paramount Plus right now, breaking records for Paramount Plus twenty

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 3: five years after the original Good Burger. But he doesn't

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: just serve burgers. Did you hear that transition? Kell is

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: also a voiceover artist. He's worked on cartoons like Clifford,

28
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: the Big Red Dog, The Proud Family, Pink Panther in Friends.

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: He's a licensed pastor. He's a musician who not only

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: writes and records his own music, but he has appeared

31
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: on tracks with big names like Khalid and Mature and

32
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,480

00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,840

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: got a cookie, and she sent the picture, and I

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking about the cookie or the melting down. I

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: was thinking about the fact that the kid had a

57
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: snow cap on and like a gigantic coat and gloves,

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, yeah, it's cold other places right now,

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: Like I had like forgotten that we're in towards the

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna love Chicago be in Chicago, and but

67
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles home.

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: When did you start performing? How old were you?

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: Oh?

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: Man, Well that was if you ask my parents, I

71
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: was very young out the womb. My mom not busted

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: out smiling when I came. But yeah, man, I was

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: always like making people laugh, get in trouble in school,

74
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: and so my parents tried to try everything to get

75
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: me in some type of hobby and we tried everything,

76
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: and the one that stuck was actually doing theater. It

77
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: was a community theater in Chicago that we saw a

78
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: few plays at and they had a summer course. My

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: parents were like, yo, just go to the summer course.

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: See what you know, We'll see what happens. Just something

81
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: to keep you busy. It wasn't like on TV or anything.

82
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: I just fell in love with the art of acting.

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: This was like, oh, this, this is my people. This

84
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: is where I could do all the things I do

85
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: in school and get in trouble. And it went from

86
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: me doing showcases there too, it turned into an actual

87
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: job where I did plays at night with adults and

88
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: had to rehearse and so I wasn't acting up as

89
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: much as I was used to in.

90
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: School because now it's a job. So it was it's

91
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: kind of cool.

92
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: So how old were you here when this starts to

00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: become like a real thing and you're doing You're doing

00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: you know, shows with adults and not just sparting around.

Speaker 1: I started with the drama. But it was such a

116
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160

Speaker 3: And so I like to talk to my guests about

160
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: this because to me, it's interesting. And you kind of

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: touched on it a little bit like from a child

162
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: who says like I want to, you know, be a

163
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: professional basketball player, or you know, I want to be

164
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: in the movies or whatever, and then that sort of

165
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: goes away or you're doing activities because you're a kid

166
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: and you need to stay busy and that tea wich

167
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: is you important social lessons and blah blah blah. But

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, at what point for you and how old

169
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: when you're like, this is what I want to do,

170
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: Like I want to be an entertainer and also special

171
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: two part question, because you were doing so much in

172
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: the theater, which is which is where I started. Was

173
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: it about doing theater being an actor or did you

174
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: start thinking about other mediums?

175
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: Man?

176
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I okay, So to as to that, I think as

177
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: a parent because then also being a parent too, I

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: think it's very important to kind of lean into those

179
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: things that you see your kids have interest in or

180
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: a desire to do, because that could be one of

181
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: the things that leads to their purpose in life, of

182
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: one of the doors that open and have them experience

183
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: different things that are you know, positive but experiencing different things.

184
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: Because of that fact doors were like open that I

185
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, this is another part of this

186
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: thing that I enjoy because it's like when I was

187
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: doing theater, then all of a sudden, you know, we

188
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: had this shoot because they came to see some kids

189
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: that had, like you know, hip hop style or whatever,

190
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: and they were just like, hey, we want you guys

191
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: to model for Captain crunch What then, so now we

192
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: take a picture. So I always tell people I was

193
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: a model first. So I booked that and I got

194
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: on the back of the Crunchberry's box. That was from

195
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: me doing theater, you know, Downtown Theater, Vidrick Gardens and Goodman,

196
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: and then that turned to meet an agent, and then

197
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: from me getting that agent, then that turned into going

198
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: on auditions and movies, and so it wasn't a thing

199
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: of like we knew exactly. My parents were like experiencing

200
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: with me along the way and just being very supportive

201
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: and me going, Okay, I want to try this now.

202
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I want to try this. This door is open, and

203
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: I want to try this now. And so shout out

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: to them for being very very supportive doing that process,

205
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: because I know it was a lot to even for

206
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: them to process at that point.

207
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 5: Right.

208
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, and I mean it's very different now. But

209
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: I grew up in Atlanta and at the time, I think,

210
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: you know, it had a very solid, you know, stable

211
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: of theaters that you could go and act in and

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: so forth. Now it's of course it's totally different. It's

213
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: like the entertainment capital of the world and everything under

214
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: the sun is shot there. But at the time, I

215
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: don't know, like it just it wasn't even like a

216
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: part of my con No one was asking me to

217
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: be on the back of crunch berries. Like there wasn't

218
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: like that modeling stuff or like commercials or at least

219
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: it was just not in my consciousness, Like I never

220
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: even saw that as an opportunity. But it sounds like

221
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: pretty early you start having a diverse experiences. Talk to

222
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: me a little bit, because You're still young at this point.

223
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not a great at math, but it

224
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: seems like sixteen ish you end up auditioning for a

225
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: new show called All That Talk. Do me a little

226
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: bit about that experience. How did that audition come about

227
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: and how did you end up getting the job?

228
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was I feel like I was like fifteen. Okay,

229
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: you're almost right there right in the bah Man So

230
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: similar like what you were saying back then as far

231
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: as the opportunities, because now Chicago they filmed everything there

232
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: now right as well as in Atlanta. But around this

233
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: time it was infomercials, a lot of modeling gigs, things

234
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: of that nature. But then all that came along and

235
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: it was like a sketch comedy for kids, and you

236
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: know that was new too because that hadn't been done.

237
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean because you had SNL yeah, Living Color, but

238
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: an all kids sketch show had not been done. And

239
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: so except for like I want to say, Roundhouse, but

240
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: it still wasn't the same.

241
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: No, I was shown.

242
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: I mean in getting ready to talk to you today,

243
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: you know, I did a deep dive back into all that,

244
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: and you know, I was familiar with your work and

245
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: your sketches and specifically what we'll talk about you and

246
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: Keenan together, but I wasn't aware of this show and

247
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: how groundbreaking it was. What you just said, I don't

248
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: mean to be reductive, but basically SNL but for kids, yeah, literally,

249
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: and the idea of that, it's just like, well, of

250
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: course why would we not have that, But at the time,

251
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: it hadn't been done. So where how do you you

252
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: just get an audition to meet with them?

253
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how it kicked off was that I was

254
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: already going on auditions out in Chicago. Yeah, and then

255
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: nothing like this had ever came through the pipeline. So

256
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: when that came along, and you know, this is back

257
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: in the day where they didn't have to zoom auditions

258
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: or nothing like that. They were really scouting kids across

259
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: America and they went everywhere. Man, so they came to

260
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: Chicago at this point. You know, I'm a sophomore, like

261
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: in high school. I remember I had finals that day

262
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and we had this audition. Ended up getting there late

263
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: because it was like way downtown. I lived on the Southside,

264
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: and I remember to get in LA and I did

265
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: the audition with for Brian Robbins. You know, you're talking

266
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: about the head of class. These are shows that I watched,

267
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, and they say, hey, do you want to

268
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: do any personations? And instead of doing people that were

269
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: like famous, I didn't people that were that I grew

270
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: up around.

271
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: Like people saw that I was, you know, on the

272
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: l you.

273
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Know, riding on the subway, you know, my uncles, all

274
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: these different people, my coach in my high school, and

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: ultimately all those characters that I did in the room

276
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: ended up being on the show. But it was deep

277
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: because within this audition process, it took like, I want

278
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: to say, two weeks before they even called back. So

279
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I didn't get it. And then I remember

280
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: it was a late night phone call at my house

281
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: and my mom was like, hello, huh who whoa thank you?

282
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Jesus said, we went to La. Then it was like

283
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: when we went to La it was the Avengers. It

284
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: was like every funny kid that they found from all

285
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: these different cities and states battling out. And so at

286
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: the battle about one more time and I got in

287
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: there and made the top top seven for all that.

288
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: But the thing about it is that it was just

289
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: a special. And so because Nickelodeon was they were afraid.

290
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: They were like because I compared it to a living

291
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: color as well, because it was very diverse too as well.

292
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: We had a lot of you.

293
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Know, the hip hop acts and you know, we're all

294
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: different colors and all these different things. So and so

295
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: for Nickelodeon, they were just like, let's try it. Let's

296
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: see it kicked off. I mean the ratings were through

297
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the roof. But for us, all of the kids, we thought, hey,

298
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: this is a one off, it's a special. Let's see

299
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: what happened to us. So we all went back home,

300
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, just to see what happened.

301
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: Got it.

302
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: So you thought you were just shooting one. Yeah, Yeah,

303
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: we thought how much later is it that you find

304
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: out like that they want to do more.

305
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I want to say it was a few months later,

306
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: because when the special went off, the kids were going crazy. Kids,

307
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: We're going crazy. They're like, what is the show all that?

308
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. TLC was our like first guest. They

309
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: sung the theme song, you know what I mean, and

310
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: it was like it really spoke to the time. Now

311
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: we all have the same vibe as kids watching it

312
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: at that point. So they brought us all back and

313
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: life changed right there. Like, you know, my mom was

314
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: pregnant with my younger sister and it just so happened,

315
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: you know that she was on leave for that, and

316
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: so she had time to fly with me to go

317
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: to Florida to film this show, and it just really

318
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: it really kicked off, and you know, to shoot at

319
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Universal Studios in Florida, you know.

320
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: On the back plot. Yeah, man, it was awesome.

321
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. How many episodes did you do?

322
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: Were you there for like a long time or did

323
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: you kind of shoot them back and back and bang them?

324
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

325
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: We shot I want to say season one might have

326
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: been like twelve episodes, I believe. Yeah, and then we

327
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: would do it like a small heatius and then come back.

328
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: And we kept going and we went from season and season.

329
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden they stopped me and Keenan,

330
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it was hey, you guys,

331
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: stay back on this next hiatus, next break, you all

332
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: stay here. And we were like why, and they were like, well,

333
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: we want to create a show with you and Keenan,

334
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: and we're like what. They're like, this is going to

335
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: be different. This is going to be like Martin or

336
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: Fresh Prince bel Air, you know that type of show

337
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: family matters.

338
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: I said, whoa Okay.

339
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 5: Did you and Keenan hit it off pretty quickly?

340
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

341
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: I mean it was such a beautiful thing where it's like,

342
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: of course we size each other up, like okay, okay,

343
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: this kid.

344
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: Is similar to me.

345
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: Okay. And then it was a thing of us both

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: killing it and sketches alone. And then what happened was

347
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: there was a sketch called Magas and Clavin's where we

348
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: prayed two old guys. We both saw it in that

349
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: sketch where it was like I would say something, heople

350
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: say something. I knew what he was about to say

351
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: right before he said it. And in that moment, it

352
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: was this magic where it was just like okay, and

353
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: they started putting us in all sketches like together. It

354
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: was great, man, in that moment, and we both remember

355
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: that moment too as well.

356
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this was the writers who saw that. I mean,

357
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: you guys felt it when. This was the writers who

358
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: in that next hiatus said hey, you guys, you're not

359
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: you're you're not going home. This was from them watching

360
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: you guys work together.

361
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

362
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 5: Man.

363
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: And then because you know, Brian always says it was

364
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: like he would watch us off camera too, and you know,

365
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: because our life off camera was very hilarious too. And

366
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: so they wanted to create this key and the Kille

367
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: world and it was it was awesome, man. And you

368
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: know they came to us and with the sketch, I

369
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: mean not sketch, but the show idea. And I remember

370
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: it had a bunch of different names. I remember we

371
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: had a dinner and it was like these two guys

372
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: and like the title were just really crazy. Somebody there

373
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: decided to say, hey, just name it after the kids.

374
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: And that was great because I remember Will Smith talking

375
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: about when he decided to have his name be Will

376
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: on the show. He was like, well, you were all

377
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: your fans are going to grow what you would always

378
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: know your name, And I was like genius. I'm glad

379
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: we did that because that was they know us. It's

380
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Kim to Kel's kimy to Kell. You know, they grow

381
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: with us.

382
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kenan and Kel launches. It is a big rating success,

383
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: very big deal at the time for a whole new

384
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: generation of young people. Did you feel it at the time,

385
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: like did you were you like, oh, now it's hard

386
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: to go to the grocery store, Like were you feeling it?

387
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: Or were you just like, hey, I'm doing what I love,

388
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: I'm having a great time. You know, how was that

389
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: for you? Did your life change?

390
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: It took it like okay, because I always playing this

391
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: like back in the day.

392
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't like how it is now out where they

393
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: put the shows out and it's like instant because it's

394
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: on social media.

395
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 5: But it was a.

396
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Slow burn because it was like people had to you know,

397
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: discover the show go crazy over it. So for us,

398
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: we were just like in Florida, it was nuts. We

399
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: couldn't really go anywhere because it was like our audience

400
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: was all high school students that all like frequent around.

401
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: There, so we couldn't really go anywhere.

402
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: But then when the show really started taking off, like

403
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, when Ken Keel came out and then we

404
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: were doing all that in keeny n Kel. At the

405
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: same time, it did get crazy, like we couldn't go

406
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: anywhere where, Like there were kids like you know, like

407
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 1: chuck E cheese or the mall, the all the movie

408
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: movie theaters, you know, all that tough stuff like that.

409
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: And I remember going back home, I used to try

410
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: to like be real low key, you know about you

411
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean, likemar was so people would know.

412
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: But after a while it was just it was crazy,

413
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: like the fans were just going nuts over the show,

414
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: which was which was amazing. I mean we got chased

415
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: a lot and a lot of stuff like that, which

416
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: is cool.

417
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you we're still young. I mean you said

418
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: like going to the movies. I mean, maybe you weren't

419
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: going to chuck e cheese so much. You were a

420
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: little old for that, but but yeah, like that's what

421
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: you would do, right, I mean, at least at that time.

422
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 3: You know, a teenager, you go to the mall, you

423
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: watch the movies, your hold hands or you know, whatever

424
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: you're doing there and you can't. You can't do that.

425
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: Do you feel isolated or is it just that you

426
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: were happy with what you're doing?

427
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: Man, you know, we were happy with what we were doing.

428
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Was just an experience, like just like, man, we're just

429
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: we're having a blast with that. I think as we

430
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: started to get to the adulting stage, because there was

431
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: also a point in between this where we are now,

432
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, turning seventeen eighteen, you know what I mean,

433
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: within this process and having this you know, adult within

434
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: the limelight, So that was different things. We're like trying

435
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: to not isolate it, but everybody doesn't really understand the dynamic,

436
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, having a public opinion and

437
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: being in the public and who can you trust and

438
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: ieople are trying to you know, do certain things wrong,

439
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: like all those different things, you know what I mean.

440
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: So that did happen within the process. You know, there

441
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: was a turn within it, but it was still enjoyable time.

442
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, at eighteen, ANDed and Decks finally get to graduate

443
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: from the little screen and go make a movie Good Burger.

444
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, tell me about making that movie.

445
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you'd been working together and in some ways

446
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: you've been working on these even specific characters for a while.

447
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: Ye did this feel special?

448
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, I mean it was.

449
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: It was the same thing again where the producers and

450
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the writers because we always know they meet us a

451
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: different dresser rope, like hey we got to meet and yeah,

452
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: over and we sat down and they're like, okay, so

453
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: check it out. We want to, you know, have Good

454
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Burger turn into a movie. Now, Goudburger had already had

455
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: like some success even more because like the musical guests

456
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: always wanted to be in a Good Burger sketch, which

457
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: was cool for me, you know, because I love hip

458
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: hop and music and all that. And so it had

459
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: already put out a single with the top like R

460
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: and B kid group around that time called Immature, and

461
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: so I had already been on the billboard charge soul

462
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: trained as ed you know what I mean, doing all right,

463
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: And then it was a thing where like okay, this

464
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: they were looking at the model, same again with you

465
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: know SNL. But you know, you take a sketch to

466
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: a movie. So it was like, all right, let's take

467
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: this d character and do that. And then the first

468
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: script I remember was about this stick and it.

469
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Had every character, so all my characters were in there.

470
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: All of Keenan's characters were in there from all that,

471
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: but then they Paramount doubt us down and was like,

472
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: let's just keep it to ed in that world of it.

473
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: And for Keenan, they were trying to create a characters.

474
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Keenan had already done Mighty Ducks and even before all that,

475
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: so they were trying to create like, does he shitty

476
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: Doe lester Oaks construction worker was a character he did

477
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: on all that? Or make him just the kid this

478
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: goes through these you know this issue And I'm glad

479
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: they did that because his story in Good Burger it

480
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: was just.

481
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: You know, amazing.

482
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, man, this was my first film, and you know,

483
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Keenan had already done one already, so he was giving

484
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: me a lot of you know, advice on the film world.

485
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: But it was great, man, to have this movie come

486
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: out and just be amazing. I remember seeing the billboard

487
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: or sunset boulevard of us surfboarding on a pickle, you

488
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, tomatoes with the mundy, the mustard

489
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: flying and everything.

490
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: So and it took off very well. I mean it.

491
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 2: Good Burger is the gift that keeps on giving, right.

492
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: Awesome, man, I want to go back for one second,

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: because you keep talking about these meetings, these big meetings,

494
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: you get the secret nod like here we go, let's

495
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: go into there, and you know something's going to happen.

496
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting. I know it's got to be

497
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: somewhat different from SNL, But I want to know about

498
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: the collaboration that happens. Because you are kids, you have writers.

499
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: How much say are you giving?

500
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: Again?

501
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: Two parter? I don't even usually do two parters, but

502
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. Two part question, how much say do

503
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: you have in the conception or writing direction of scripts?

504
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: And then two my least favorite question of all time

505
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 3: when people ask me this, but I am curious again

506
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: because you're still so young at this time, how much

507
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: freedom are you given to improvise while you're shooting?

508
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: Man?

509
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: So, with all that, it was a ton which is

510
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: kind of cool because you're talking about like our producers

511
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: on the show were also in the industry as kids too,

512
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: but now they were you know, adults, young adults, and

513
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: so they were this was like their first show, especially

514
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: with all that, and so they were like enjoying this

515
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: process with us, and so a lot of the characters,

516
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: especially from my side. I brought a lot of characters

517
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: in from these voices right had already been doing, and

518
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: so they used to say, hey, do it film it

519
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: twice the way we wrote it, and I was like, okay, cool,

520
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: and then it was go crazy.

521
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

522
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: I remember one time when I did improv and the

523
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: place went crazy, cracking up, laughing, and then they their

524
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: like lights went off, like.

525
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, kell what else you got? Keep it going,

526
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: keep going, hey, Keenan, what else you got? What you got?

527
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: And then that started to turn into us having these

528
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: fun banters with the writers, but like what if we

529
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: take it there? When you take it there? And this

530
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: is what I mean about a delli Within the process.

531
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Now you start to understand like, oh wait, I should

532
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: have been being paid as a writer.

533
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: It's all good.

534
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: It was like what I've learned, what I learned through

535
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: that process was amazing, man. And we have amazing writing staff.

536
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: Not to jump too far ahead, but you know Kevin

537
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: Heath who also paying Good Burger too, and they pinned

538
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: the first one. These are people that have known us

539
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: for for years, so you know that in that machine

540
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: of what we have worked so well. And I remember

541
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: one time when they started writing in all that scripts

542
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: and they laugh about this they wrote, and then Kill

543
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: does something physical, Kill goes crazy and they wouldn't even

544
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: like give the action because they just didn't know what

545
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: I might do.

546
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: So they were just like go nuts, which was fun. Man.

547
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, an iconic movie for its time. Now you're going

548
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: back twenty five years later. What made you want to

549
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: do it? Besides the obvious reasons like did someone approach you?

550
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: Were you pushing for it? Like how did it come

551
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: about to get you guys together again?

552
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, I remember the first time it spoke about.

553
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I was doing a show back on Nickelodeon you called

554
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Game Shakers.

555
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: I was playing this wild hip hop mungul.

556
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: That owned a company with these young teenage girls that

557
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: were coders, right, and it was a fun, fun show.

558
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: And I remember at that time Jimmy Fallon hit us

559
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: up and said, hey, I would love to do this

560
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Keenan and kel reunion of Good Burger and on his.

561
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: Show, on his show. Yeah, just watched that this morning,

562
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: So okay, So now all right, so go ahead. I

563
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 3: didn't know that's where it started. Okay, go ahead, Yeah,

564
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: so Jay, Jimmy's part of it. So if behind you

565
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: know the scenes.

566
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: We had already a lot of whispers about, oh, we

567
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: need to do good Burger too, we need a good

568
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: burger too, and we were trying to get all the

569
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: minds together from you know, the beginning of all of

570
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: this and all that, to come together and try to

571
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: put this together. We had done a few ideas, had

572
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: the meetings about where it could go. But when it

573
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: got real was when Jimmy did that and if the

574
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: internet went crazy, even Keenan and I both and we talked,

575
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about this where I remember we

576
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: were behind the curtain and we were like, man, yo,

577
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: we've done people like a disservice, Like you know what

578
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, We should have done this way back, you

579
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But this is awesome. You know

580
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: it's God's timing. Let's do this again. We need to

581
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: figure this out, you know what I mean of you

582
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: know this kend the kale world of good Burger or

583
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: where we want to take it. Then the conversations I

584
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: get more real. We started having you know, real script conversations.

585
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: Some of it was like where they were taking the story,

586
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: it was something would and then some of it was good.

587
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: And then we finally found the right story for a

588
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: dexter in for it because you know, now they're adults

589
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: and where are they now?

590
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: They have kids? What's happening? And it's the fun story.

591
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: And we wanted, well, it was very important us to

592
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: have Good Burger to stand on its own where that

593
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: it can be its own movie, like you could see

594
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: two and it'll be okay you need if you didn't

595
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: see one, you know, And so that was very important

596
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: to us. And then then I'm also making us producers

597
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: on the project too as well, because that was a

598
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: beautiful thing too.

599
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: For a shot out to Paramount. Shout to Nickelodeon for

600
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: doing that.

601
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Just so that Ed wouldn't turn into something that the

602
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: nineties kids would be like Edwin.

603
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

604
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: So I had to make sure that the characters stayed

605
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: to true to who he is. Yeah wow, yeah man.

606
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: You know, so such a long period of time passes

607
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: in between the two movies. How much communication did you

608
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: and Keenan have during this really long period of time?

609
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, so it was like on and off, you

610
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

611
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: But then I think because people, you know, people see us,

612
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, they still look at us as kids.

613
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: They don't realize, like, you know, we have lives.

614
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

615
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: We experience different things, you know, but it's so beautiful,

616
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: like because he was on the he's on the East

617
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Coast and I was in Los Angeles, and you know,

618
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: different worlds.

619
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

620
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: But we try to stay in contact. Always explain it like,

621
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's a friend you had in high school

622
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: and then you all go off to college to different places,

623
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: all these different things and try to stay in contact.

624
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: But I remember us having a real conversation on the

625
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: phone one time, and that was around the Gameshacker time,

626
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,320

630
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,200

631
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,360

632
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: And it was cool to.

633
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: Be able to experience each other's as adults now, which

634
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,280

640
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: of your old stuff and thinking about your relationship. And

641
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: I was thinking about the first time when I was

642
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: working on NBC and he was working on NBC, And

643
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't exactly put it together, but it's

644
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: got to be like early on for him, but like

645
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: two thousand and five, two thousand and six somewhere in there,

646
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,880

648
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: couple of years before that, and it feels like so

649
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: long ago.

650
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 5: And yet you all have a lifetime before that. Like

651
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: it's crazy.

652
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,400

00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: to a character whereas you know it's been that long.

663
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: That's that's awesome, man. And then to to open it

664
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: up to another generation. There's kids that are five or

665
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: six years old and good Burger birthday parties and actually

666
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Keenan and Keale and you know, all these shows cool

667
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: and experiencely with my kids like my you know, my

668
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: two youngest, Honor and Wisdom are in the movie.

669
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: You know what I mean as kids. So that's just awesome.

670
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Did you have any hesitance going back to it after

671
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: so long?

672
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: To ed? No?

673
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 5: I did.

674
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, we launched the Return of All That

675
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: and so we brought it, brought it back, and so

676
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: I jumped on there with the kids. Even though I

677
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: was producing. I did some of the characters like Coach

678
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Creeden and it and brought them back. So I was

679
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: kind of in the shoes of it again already, so

680
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: it didn't feel too crazy a few years later to

681
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: be doing it again. It didn't really kick in until

682
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I want to say, the week before it came out

683
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: like it was. It was kind of like, okay, we

684
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: are how was they going to respond to this? And

685
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: that's what it kicked in. But man, thank god, everybody

686
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: loves it. Man, And they're digging and.

687
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: They're on this journey with us, and I think that's

688
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: what's cool.

689
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: I kind of compare it to like New Addition, you know,

690
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: for me, like I grew up with New Addition, you know,

691
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: I followed them along the journey since they were kids too,

692
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like that where people kind of

693
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: grew up with us here.

694
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 3: You've done a lot of voiceover and animation work, you Clifford,

695
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 3: the Big Red Dog of Note for sure, Pink Panther

696
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: and Pals, Wild Gardeners.

697
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 5: Do you enjoy it the voiceover work? Dude?

698
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: I love the voiceover world. It's so great. I mean,

699
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: you know you can you can go do it in

700
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: your pajamas if you wanted to.

701
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 5: I just I just did this morning.

702
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, it's great man, and and but it's

703
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: because it takes some real, some real work and comedy

704
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: work too.

705
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 5: You know.

706
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I was blessed to be on a show with Chrese Summers,

707
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: which is like, I mean, she's like amazing legend legend

708
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: in the voiceover world, and so she was able to

709
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: give me a lot of advice. And you know, you're,

710
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, really going all out with these voices. You know,

711
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: with your voice can still you know, so I I

712
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: enjoyed doing it. Man, it's fun, especially doing character work.

713
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: It's a bleast.

714
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a freedom that you have, you know, I

715
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 3: haven't done a sketch show like you're as where you're

716
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 3: you're you're able to play a variety of characters within

717
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: you know, one show. But having that freedom of just

718
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: using your voice and creating characters, I find truly like

719
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 3: really fun.

720
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 5: I just love doing it.

721
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

722
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: And then I'm in the animation too, because you know,

723
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I go to the comic cons and I love you know,

724
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: all the all the animation in animated cartoons. You know

725
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: that helped with my comedy too as well. So, and

726
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: I love the Muppets that's not animation but voice.

727
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 5: Well, that's true.

728
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: How is it for you being so hugely associated with

729
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: children's programming, Like do you love that? Do you wish

730
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: that you had more opportunities I don't know for an

731
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: older audience? And do does the fact that you have kids?

732
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 3: Does that influence for you any of the types of

733
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 3: projects that you're interested in doing.

734
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's really what I feel, you know when

735
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm reading the script, because I have done adult stuff.

736
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: I've done a very deep period period.

737
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Piece with John Sales of course all honey dripper, But

738
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: it's something about I love family entertainment, you know what

739
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: I mean, just in general, because the whole family can

740
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: enjoy it together. So it is really cool for me

741
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: to put a smile on, you know, my kids face

742
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: and then also other kids' faces. And I think too

743
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: when you do that. What I started to notice was

744
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: working a family and chairman for so long. You grew

745
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: up with the parents, and then your kids grow up

746
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: with you too. Yeah, so you kind of you stay

747
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: you know where. It's like you have these new fan

748
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: base every time because you're being introduced over and over again.

749
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: And I see that family timan not so not so

750
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: much in the adult space as much as I do

751
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: in the family space, which is which is cool.

752
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: It keeps you timeless, you know.

753
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are the recipient of truly a huge award,

782
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: with them? And as you mentioned, so many of them

783
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: wanting to be in in the Good Burger sketch at

784
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: the time. Getting to know them, how do you think

785
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: that that affected and potentially help your music career?

786
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: Man?

787
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Seeing these performances, the type of team that they had

788
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: that they came along with, the preparation before they perform,

789
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, the artists that were laid, the artists that

790
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: were on time, the artists that you know, practice their

791
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: dance moves on the stage, practice with us, the ones

792
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: that were talkative and cool, and the ones that weren't,

793
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you just got to

794
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: It really prepared me for what I wanted to do

795
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: as far as like in entertainment, how I wanted to

796
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: be perceived. Those moments of you know, dance battling against

797
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: Cisco or dance battle against Usher TLC, hanging out with

798
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: me and my siblings and you know all this and

799
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: we're still all in contact now, Like this is awesome, man,

800
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: Like you're talking about walking through Chicago streets on my walkman,

801
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: listening to these people, and then like a few months later,

802
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm kicking it with them, hanging with them, have their

803
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: phone numbers. That's crazy.

804
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have a new single out fairly recently, go time.

805
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: You've been writing making music for a long long time,

806
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: and in fact, you did the theme song to Good

807
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: Burger We're All Dudes Now? Did you have that in mind?

808
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: Was there a secret room where you got the nod

809
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: and pulled in and someone told you to do the song?

810
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 5: Like how did that come about?

811
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: So it was like, you know, when all that sketches

812
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: was start, there's a bit of like the camera would

813
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: pan in on for d so it was a moment

814
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: of dead air. So I used to say, like, okay,

815
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: what is it doing at that moment? You know how

816
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: sitcoms people walk in and have this ridiculous improv conversation.

817
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: Like you just dat an orange?

818
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: So I did this little ditty like m dude, he's

819
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: a dude, and I was bang on the register and

820
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: it became part of the sketch that little Diddy needed

821
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: to turn into a song, you know.

822
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 2: And so it had already had.

823
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: Success with doing the immature song and all this stuff

824
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: like that, and then when we did the movie, it

825
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: was like, let's make I'm a dude, a song, an actual,

826
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: like for real song. And I remember Brian because his

827
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: mind is just like he's ready, like right then and there,

828
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: he's like, kill write the song. After you write the song,

829
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: we're having a meeting at Paramount for Capitol Records what

830
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: so like, I wrote it, literally wrote it versus to

831
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: this hook that was already you know, all the kids knew,

832
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: and I wrote the hook. I drove over there. I

833
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: had not sung the song out loud. I remember we

834
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: were all out dinner at the Bataramount lunch and he

835
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 1: said sing it, and Solar had to singing in front

836
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: of everybody, and they loved it. They said, oh, this

837
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: is awesome.

838
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 5: And Brian hadn't he hadn't heard it yet.

839
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: He hadn't heard it.

840
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 5: Well that's confidence right there.

841
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had trusted me because yeah, I was in music.

842
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: Shout out to Bryant. I rocked it within there. I

843
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: knew how important this was. You know, he's like a

844
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: big brother to me. So I was like, okay, let's

845
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: do it. And then after that it was less than

846
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: Jake was on Capitol Records, and so at that time

847
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: they were a sky band and next thing I know,

848
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm flying to Florida because I was in La at that.

849
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: Point, to to Florida, did the song with them, and

850
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: it just took off. Man, that's inredible. It took up. Man.

851
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have another career outside of entertainment. You're a pastor.

852
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

853
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 5: Does music play a big role for you in your ministry? Yeah?

854
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: Man, I you know, being how I played before with

855
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: the whole Brat pack, and I'm into all of that

856
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: and also within my faith everything that I'm involved in

857
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: the same thing, because just like you said, with the teens,

858
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's like they're very very real with.

859
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: You, you know what I mean.

860
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: So if you want to reach them, you got to,

861
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, reach them and let them know, Hey, you know,

862
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: I've been through the same things you've been through. I know,

863
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: understanding type of music you listen to and all these

864
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: different things, and introduce faith to them in that way too,

865
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: because they're bombarded with so much, you know, as far

866
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: as the social media, and so within my music, within

867
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: my summons, within all that I do, it's relatable to them,

868
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: but then also leads them to their faith and knowing

869
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: that they're beautifully and wonderfully made by God.

870
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 5: Man.

871
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: So I've been I've been doing that for years, you

00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: let's let's give it to them. We're not gonna make

891
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: them wait another twenty six years though, but that might

892
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: be funny.

893
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: At a certain point, it's gonna be really difficult. It's

894
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 3: gonna be really difficult. Maybe not in twenty six years,

895
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: but in fifty two years, it's gonna start getting tough

896
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: for the physical comedy for sure, as good as you

897
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: are at a certain point. Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna

898
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 3: be tough for you know, it's so funny about this genre.

899
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: I have an eight year old and she is watching

900
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 3: in Living color, no joke, after what I have been

901
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 3: watching and reminding myself again over the next twenty four hours,

902
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna show her Keenan and Kel because it's probably

903
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 3: even better. But there's something so incredible and fun and

904
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 3: spirited about the physical comedy that you and and really

905
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: everybody was doing. And my daughter loves it watching it

906
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 3: in living color.

907
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 5: Jim Carrey and.

908
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 3: All those guys just going nuts. It's just funny, right,

909
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 3: I mean, like they're used to fully produced digital streaming entertainment,

910
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 3: you know, with what you know back in the day

911
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 3: would have been twenty five million dollar budgets, and yet

912
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: she's sitting there on YouTube watching these old, kind of grainy,

913
00:45:55,719 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 3: rusted out clips from in Living Color and just has

914
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: marized by just the theatricality of it. I mean, I

915
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 3: feel like in entertainment we've lost that sort of boldness

916
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: of performance, you know, having that I'm excited now to

917
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 3: show her can she watch Good Burger too. Yeah, yeah,

918
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 3: of course, yeah, okay, yes, total it's okay, it's okay.

919
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's PG. So she'd be good, she'd be good.

920
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, man. But yeah, this is the legends

921
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: I tell comedians outsid go back and and then watch

922
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: them because those guys are like legendary, you know what

923
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean, and show you so much. You know, I

924
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: was inspired by Living Color and SNL and all the

925
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: physical comedy and you know, Tommy Davis and Jami five,

926
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: all these guys.

927
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: Man.

928
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, were you watching in Living Color? Yes,

929
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 3: while you were doing this, you were watching it.

930
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: When I was a kid.

931
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because the Living Color was before I even

932
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: got on all that, and I was like a staple

933
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: in my household. And so Jim Carrey, you know, Tommy Davison,

934
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: Keenan Avy, Waynms and then to now you know know
