73
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: used to like ignore it all the time, and then

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you're too old to pretend like

75
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,560

240
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,560

241
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: he had a little fun house, if you will. But

242
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: he was in the streets, so it was like his

243
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: little dope house. But he would but he would have

244
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: fun there too. It was it was a house that

245
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: his family didn't even know existed, but it was literally

246
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: eight minutes away from their family hall.

247
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. And didn't know.

248
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: Nobody, kid's wife, nobody knew.

249
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: So like some guys have a man cave, he had

250
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,679

Speaker 1: he had a whole apartment with like pinball machines.

253
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: And no, it wasn't that, because once again he was

254
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: in the streets. So it was like it was like

255
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: it was like the stash house, dope house. Like he

256
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,720

260
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: didn't want to use those dishes. But yeah, so when

261
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: my uncle, uh, when that happened, I called my uncle

320
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: seventeen year old kid who seemed to be a dream

321
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: levels of driven, like how did you start getting into acting?

322
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: But like before, I mean you obviously started before the

323
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: age of seventeen, Like were your parents holding your hand

324
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: or did you just start hustling it on your career

325
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: on your own?

326
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: I just got lucky, honestly, right place, right town. I

327
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: didn't want to be no actor. I didn't even know

328
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: nothing about it. All I cared about was sports, and

329
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: then at one point it was the streets, and then

330
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: at another point it was rapping. All I cared about.

331
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: How did you get the approach of acting?

332
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the acting thing happened. I think these low

333
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: key are good. Some of them is busting, but we

334
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: can let this shit a little bit. But with the acting.

335
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: I just heard something on the radio in Chicago. I

336
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: heard something on the radio. They was like, yo, it's

337
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: some people in town looking for some young black boys

338
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: that know how to play baseball. And I was like, well, shit,

339
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: my mom, young, I'm black and I know how to

340
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: play baseball. Take the radio saying let's do it. Yeah,

341
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: And I went and it was an open call audition

342
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: for a movie. And I didn't even know it was

343
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: a movie. I thought it was honestly a baseball tryout

344
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: because they was, you know, I'm like, it must be

345
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: a hell of a traveling team if they talking about

346
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: it on the radio. This shit gotta be lit. Got me,

00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: being a movie audition. I'm like, oh, well, I don't

350
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: want to be in no movie. And my mama like, boy,

385
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: was in a movie.

386
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: Okay, and I've been acting ever since.

387
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: And that was twenty five years.

388
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: And what was your mom's initial response when she heard about.

389
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: All of this. My mom was like wow, because she

390
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: was like it was crazy because somebody at her job

391
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: also had told her about that open call. But I

392
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: guess she didn't even think nothing of it, or she

393
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: had forgot, because when I mentioned it to her, I

394
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: was like, man, I heard something that the radio said.

395
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: After we finally get there, she was like, oh, this

396
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: must be what my friend at work was telling me

397
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: that I should take you too, because you played baseball.

398
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: They was auditioning. He had read it in the paper

399
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: and she was like, and I didn't even mention it

400
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: to you. And I'm like, well, look what happened. Anyway,

401
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: I heard it from myself and she took me and

402
00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: then that was it.

403
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: So did you enjoy acting? So how old were you

404
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: when you were in that movie?

405
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: I filmed it audition when I was ten. We filmed

406
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: it when I was eleven. It came out when I was.

407
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Like twelve, Okay, And then what was that experience? Was

408
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: it good for you? It was good enough to keep pursuing, right?

409
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: Yah? Yeah? No, that was the That was the greatest

410
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: experience ever to me. I don't think personally, I don't

411
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: think I'll ever had that much fun again, feeling anything,

412
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: just for the simple fact that it was so new

413
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: and so fresh, you know what I'm saying. Like I

414
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: didn't know nothing, I didn't know anything, I didn't know

415
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: nothing about the business, I didn't know I ain't know nothing.

416
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: So to me, I don't feel like I'll ever get

417
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: that experience again to where being so fresh and so new,

418
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

419
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: I heard sometimes people say that the industry can be

420
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: like you're constantly chasing that high, that high of that

421
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: first experience. Do you feel, well, it seems like you

422
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: actually know that you'll never get that experience again. But

423
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: do you ever fall into the trap of wanting to

424
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: feel that high again?

425
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: Uh? Okay, you want to know what's crazy. I was

426
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: talking with one of my castmates from Power and we

427
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: were talking about it, and we were like, bro, we

428
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: had to check ourselves because it gets a little scary.

429
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm making yours first. You want cheese?

430
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, yes, you're so well mannered. I'm I'm

00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: taking bad guys off camera. He would like. I opened

432
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: the door and he was like, don't I'm going to

433
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to open it first and walk just for

00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: everybody to listen of how he is when the camera's

435
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: not rolling. Yeah, he made sure that he held the

436
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: door open. He made sure, which isn't common in LA.

437
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: By the way, these guys nowadays, they watch you carry

438
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: a whole house.

439
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I ain't from LA though. So we're good.

440
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: We're good. Worry about that about that?

441
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: So share what was going on with your castmate in

442
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:41,880

Speaker 1: That's the like why is it scary point?

488
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Because to me, like I fear becoming becoming so comfortable

489
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 2: and used to things that I once thought were the

490
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: most amazing in the world. Wait you say that again,

491
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: Like I fear becoming comfortable and used to things that

492
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: I used to think would be the dopest and coolest

493
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: thing in the world. But now, because I'm in it,

494
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: I've gotten so you used to it that it just

495
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: don't even hit me the same, Like feeling nothing in

496
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: that moment.

497
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it wasn't like, oh.

498
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: My god, fifty cent brought me on on stage in

499
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: Chicago at the United Center. I can't believe this. It

500
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: was like, all right, cool, No, that was cool.

501
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: And that's literally how it felt to you that day.

502
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: In the moment, it was I think I felt more

503
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 2: excited before I got out there, but when it actually happened,

504
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, this was up and then

505
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: so and then when it was over, it was just like, oh, yeah,

506
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: that did happen. Hunh that was cool. You know that

507
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: was cool I had Did you have fun? I had

508
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: a good time. Wow, It's like, yeah, I had a

509
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: good time. But because I got so fake spoiled by

510
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: the experiences. And that's what scares me to me as

511
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: a very slippery slope in this business, that's what keeps

512
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: you to me level and even killed. You know what

513
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: I'm saying, you gotta stay. Never get too high, it

514
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: never get too low. I don't ever take myself or

515
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: this shit too serious, because I really don't give a

516
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: shit about honestly, Like, I'm not that guy. I'm not

517
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: a Thesby, and I didn't go to acting school. I

518
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: didn't go to college to be an actor. I don't

519
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: do plays. I'm just a nigga from the West Side

520
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: of Chicago that just so happens to know how to act.

521
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: And I fucked around and got good at it and

522
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: also fucked around and fell in love with it. So

523
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: now that's the scary part, because now I like this shit.

524
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: Now I would imagine that this industry can be scary too,

525
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: because you're some of it is in your control and

526
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: some of it isn't in your control.

527
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Well a lot of it, none of us, be honest,

528
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: I don't think none of it is.

529
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: So how do you handle the waves of hot and cold?

530
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you've had hot and cold in

531
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,320

00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: Noah.

00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: I've had mild successes, like I ain't gonna say that,

535
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: and I've done a lot of dope shit. I gotta

536
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: I got a helifire resume, but it wasn't nothing that

537
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: really moved the needle for real. Like, I don't feel

538
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 2: like I started moving the needle until I got to LA.

539
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: When I got to LA, when I made that decision,

561
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: a shit about their employees, apparently, because they used to

562
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: give their employees like bus passes with money on it

563
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: every month if you didn't have a car. But he

00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: had just recently got a car and they never stopped

565
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,439

00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: Then it just started going.

638
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 2: Because they got popular, but it was hard to sell them,

639
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: like standing on the street because three doors down was

640
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: an actual storefront that sold them. So people would always

641
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,080

Speaker 1: glizzy gzy. Saying it the other way though, because it

705
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: sounds more traumatic.

793
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and find out what happened between you

794
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: being emancipated and before you moved to la.

795
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: Oh huh, tell me what's going on the time you

796
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: got on that camera. Body, No, I'm just playing.

797
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Got like thirty minutes highlight real all right.

798
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: No, So between getting emancipated in that was just like

799
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: a lot of life, bro. Like I probably moved like

800
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: four different times. I had. I had a very premature

801
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: and early mid life crisis. What do you mean, Like

802
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: I feel like most people don't start like panicking to

803
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: like probably in their thirties yep or forties.

804
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: I had a panic at like thirty one, Yeah, thirty thirty.

805
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: Ye see my hit like maybe twenty three, twenty four

806
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: my hit early because like I said, I was already

807
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: acting since I was teen, and then I chose not

808
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: to go to college. I had a full ride to

809
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: school to play football baseball at Grammar Baseball.

810
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: I thought, you loved those things I did, but I

811
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: turned it down.

812
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, then I turned it down to keep acting.

813
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: And once I found out at the time they didn't

814
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: have shit like nil deals and all that, right, So

815
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: then I remember sitting down with the recruiters and they

816
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: told me that if I was to go to school

817
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: under a scholarship to play sports, I couldn't even be

818
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: in a movie that was about sports because now you're

819
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: a paid athlete technically.

820
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: Really, I didn't know that, yes, Okay, so.

821
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: When I found that out, I said, oh, well, fuck school, Like,

822
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: I can't even be a movie pretending to be a.

823
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: Baseball And how consistent were you doing acting at the

824
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: time when you're trying to make this executive decision.

825
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't necessarily getting booked all the time,

826
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: but I had an agent. I was getting auditions all

827
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: the time, so I was getting those opportunities to be

828
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: in baseball, football, basketball movies. Like I was close to

829
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: getting Coach Carter. But at the time, Robert Richard was

830
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: the shit. He was just coming off one on one

831
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: and cousin Skeeter all that shit like he was the man.

832
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: So he ended up getting that role of Samuel Jackson

833
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: Son even though he likes geting with green Eyes and

834
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: Samuel Jackson Black as the fuck didn't make any sense,

835
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: but it made sense then, you know what I'm saying.

836
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: But I was up for that movie. So I was

837
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: thinking like that, like, bro, I almost got Coach Carter,

838
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: I almost got gritind Gang, And now y'all telling me

839
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: I can't even do a sports movie. And if I

840
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: go to cop what fuck y'all?

841
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: And what were your parents thinking when you made that decision?

842
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: My mom at first didn't like it, but but she

843
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: just trusted me, I guess. But I made it hard

844
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: for it though, because I didn't live a very comfortable life.

845
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: So that's pretty much what took place from from then,

846
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: from the emancipation up until your parents.

847
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: Aren't like helping you out, sending you some money at.

848
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: The time or no. See, my people, my people broke.

849
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: My people backwoods.

850
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: Missing They moved to Georgia, right.

851
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: Not Atlanta, Georgia. They in the country.

852
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: What were they doing out there?

853
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: They just living and working?

854
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So so you're out there and they're just calling

855
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: and checking in on you.

856
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just calling and checking out. Like see, I'll

857
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: be wishing. You know how people say like, man, you

858
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: know my family, my parents, they only just give me money.

859
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: They throw money at problems, and it'd be like, damn,

860
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: I wish my parents could throw some money at a problem. Nigga,

861
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: I wish right, the right please, I'll come pick it up.

862
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: But it's easier easy for me to say because I

863
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: didn't have that. So for the people who have the

864
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: money but they don't have the love that my family

865
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: will give or the support because I know my mom

866
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: and dad let the shit out my black ass and

867
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: they still married. I don't come from no broken home,

868
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: none of that crazy shit, so that's dope. But for me,

869
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: it was just a lot of moving around. So I

870
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: lived in Chicago. I stayed there. Then I left Chicago

871
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: once the mid life crisis happened, a little early midlife crisis.

872
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: I moved to Mississippi for a year. Like I was

873
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: living in Jackson, Mississippi, because I was like, bro, I

874
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: don't know how to do shit but act and play sports, right,

875
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: because that's where my family is from, and I got

876
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: cousins and all that shit down there, and I was.

877
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: And how old are you then, Like nineteen okay, so you.

878
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: Moved there, yeah, like nineteen twenties. And then I say,

879
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, I went to Mississippi, and I'm just like, bro,

880
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do nothing but act and

881
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: play sports. I need to learn something else that they

882
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: got shited to do with this industry at all. And

883
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: I went down there and worked for my cousin who

884
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: own a marketing and printing company, and I learned everything

885
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: about marketing and printing, and like, you know, now I

886
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: still got brokeer weights on, like everything I know about

887
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: satin lamination and UV gloss and all that shit.

888
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: I know all that shit.

889
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

890
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: Because because of that, you.

891
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: Also learned like like kind of how to be an

892
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: entrepreneur and all that too.

893
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: Uh nah. That just kind of came because I used

894
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: to like be in the streets. So like I still yeah,

895
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: like I used to be in the streets, and I

896
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: kind of just I feel like my approach to the

897
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 2: active industry was I looked at it like a rapper

898
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: or a drug dealer. I didn't look at it like

899
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: an actor because I never looked at myself like an actor,

900
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: So I didn't I didn't.

901
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 3: Approach the industry with that mindset.

902
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 2: I approached it like, Okay, I'm a I'm a rapper

903
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to sell an album or I'm trying

904
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: to sell a mixtape, or I'm a rapper trying to

905
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: sell some dope, and like I'm you know what I'm saying.

906
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: So like that's how I looked at it, And that's

907
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: just kind of how I learned the entrepreneurial stuff, because

908
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: like you got to kind of have an entrepreneurial spirit

909
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: when you're sitting on some stuff that you need to

910
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: get sold, even like you know what I'm saying. So

911
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: the spirit just came through life and and with me,

912
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: I moved so many places, so I felt like that

913
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: taught me how to talk to different people from walks

914
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: to life because I did grow up in Chicago, but

915
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: my family's so country in Mississippi that they raised me

916
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: with country morals and values and all my family and

917
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: cousins are hell of country. So I can talk to

918
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 2: country people and I can be up north. And then

919
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: I lived in Louisiana, I lived in Atlanta, I lived

920
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: in Mississippi. I lived in California. I lived in New

921
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: Orleans for a little small period of time, so I

922
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: know so many people from everywhere, and I can talk

923
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: to different crowds. My mom always used to say, you

924
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: got to be able to have a conversation with the

925
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: president and a gang member, And I feel like I

926
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: can and both of them gonna look at me like

927
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,320

Speaker 3: I did everything to try to make money, and even when.

996
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: I came while you were enough to like suffice or

997
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,800

1000
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,239

00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: all of that was happening, I wasn't even smart enough

1002
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,399

1006
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: play that game unless I was a series regular, because

1007
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: if not, what's the point. What's the point of trying

1008
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: to cut corners if they're only paying you three thousand anyway,

1009
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: like nigga, just let the taxes get taken out, going

1010
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: about your business.

00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: Or no, I wouldn't have, but I probably would have

1014
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 2: managed it a little better. But it wasn't much like

1015
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: during those days. Yeah, during those days, No, I'm just

00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when there's a good basketball player

1083
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: football player in the hood and the whole neighborhood is like, boy,

1084
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: you better get your ass, stop hanging with them, Go

1085
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: go there, go to practice, go do this.

1086
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 3: So like for me, it was like a community thing.

1087
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 2: Ever, everybody did that because they like, nigga, were you

1088
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: you from the hood, You in a movie, bro you.

1089
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: It was kind of sometimes felt like a double life,

1090
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 2: Like I'll be riding around in a car, car spicy

1091
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: as hell, four five niggas that I probably should be

00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 2: in a car with niggas probably got guns and whatever

1093
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: else in the car, smoking, chilling. I get a phone call,

1094
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,120

Speaker 3: I wasn't even really trying there, Nigga, don't let me.

1115
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,520

1144
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: They just changed their name. But my point person is

1145
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: a black man, so like me and that we on

1146

1150
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: with me? Bro.

1151
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: So do you feel like in the industry when it

1152
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: comes to the black actors and actresses, do you feel

1153
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: like there's like there's that group that they kind of

1154
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: rotate through and then maybe if one falls out, then

1155
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: they slide. Like the opportunities are I want to say,

1156
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: more limited and kind of like this is the group

1157
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: that the industry supports and this and if one of

1158
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: these guys mess up, maybe they'll be room.

1159
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure for show. I believe that's how

1160
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: it goes. But I also I also am kind of

1161
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: like for as pessimistic as I am, I'm also kind

1162
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: of the same amount of optimistic.

1163
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, If that makes sense.

1164
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: You actually don't come off pessimistic.

1165
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 2: A little bit.

1166
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: I kind of am, but I'm not.

1167
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, you just try very hard to keep it

1168
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: even killed. It's almost like someone that doesn't want to

1169
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: get their hopes up to get it popped exactly.

1170
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: And I've been let down so much. I've been on

1171
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 2: so many shows that got canceled or pilots that didn't

1172
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: get picked up and all, like I just chill now,

1173
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: like it just is what it is until the Ink Drive.

1174
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 3: None of this shit is real. That's how I feel.

1175
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: So I just what was your original question?

1176
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: Damn, I don't remember.

1177
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 3: I just forget that quick.

1178
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 2: I just forgot.

1179
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 3: But Chili Dogs, gzz Glizzies and.

1180
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: Glizzies was good. Damn you should have never mentioned the Glizzies. Man,

1181
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name your episode Glizzy Time.

1182
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: No, we can't do that. I can't be a part

1183
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: of the Glazy Time episode.

1184
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: You really won't let me do it.

1185
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: I can't be a part of it. I can't say

1186
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: g Lizzy Time episode is crazy.

1187
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: I don't Glizzie dog. I think that's why worse.

1188
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's crazy being able to google Christy

1189
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 2: Lofting and Glizzy together and something pops up. It's crazy.

1190
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: I don't want. I don't. I don't want that in

1191
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 2: my life.

1192
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: Be a good meme.

1193
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: Just going like hell no, no, I was saying.

1194
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: I think what I was trying to find out is

1195
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: if there was like is the way the industry works?

1196
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: Is there like little that's what you said, Like, is

1197
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: there a smaller window opportunities for.

1198
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: I definitely feel like they got their I call them

1199
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: safe niggas. They got they they got they token safe niggas,

1200
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 2: And I felt like that was always my thing. I

1201
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: always felt like I wasn't the safe nigga, Like I'm

1202
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: not the I'm not the most handsome nigga with the

1203
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 2: dimples and the pretty pearly white teeth with no tattoos,

1204
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: no piercings and shit, like I get it. I'm not

1205
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: the safest nigga. Like you know what I'm saying, Like

1206
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: I always use the example my boy Mike B. Jordan

1207
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: is safe.

1208
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I was gonna say. Sometimes there are

1209
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: some people, like there's the upper coomer that shout out

1210
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: to Ron Taylor like no one really knows about him,

1211
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: but I in the back of my mind it sounds

1212
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: really messed up, and I'm like, he's that safe nigga

1213
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: that like he could get a lot of book rolls

1214
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: because there's like the unfortunately for black men you have.

1215
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: You know, the the world has painted black men in

1216
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: such a and such an image that I feel like

1217
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to block booking black man, you have

1218
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: you have your ones that look unsafe and the ones

1219
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: that look safe, and the ones that look and when

1220
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: I say safe, it's literally like the stereotypical imagine what

1221
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: a white person would be comfortable sitting at their table.

1222
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: That's what I mean when I say safe, not like,

1223
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, like unsafe would be you know, the black

1224
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: guy that you imagine with the white girl's daughter and

1225
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you know, like it's I'm trying to

1226
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: get everyone that's not black to understand. Yeah, but I

1227
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: do feel like when I see a black guy in

1228
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: the industry pursuing acting or comedy or whatever, and I'm like,

1229
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, that one could definitely book a lot

1230
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: of roles because he looks like safe. He's not.

1231
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's safe, the pearly white TV dimples.

1232
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: And then you get and then you and those guys,

1233
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know if they get booked

1234
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: more because they appear safe. Also off camera, are they

1235
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: like more politically correct?

1236
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'd be all of that. But at

1237
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 2: the same time, sometimes they be good, but sometimes they don't.

1238
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 2: Like So that's what I mean by I'm like, I

1239
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: try not to be as pessimistic as optimistic, but it's

1240
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: like sometimes a lot of these people do get the

1241
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: jobs because they're just safer choices.

1242
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, and your choice is

1243
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: off camera, you mean, or safe both.

1244
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: Even on camera on screen because a lot of times,

1245
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 2: a lot of times the casting director or the douce

1246
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: or the director or writer may want you, the unsafe nigga,

1247
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: They might want me, But the studio on the network

1248
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 2: who got to sign the check to provide the funds

1249
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: for this project is like I don't know, and he's

1250
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: like a no, not a household name either. So if

1251
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 2: you take two niggas who are not household names, make

1252
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: them even in that regard, but one is safe and

1253
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: one is it and you got to invest your money.

1254
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: And it's it's based on the look safe or is

1255
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: it based on the way they carry themselves.

1256
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: It's a combination.

1257
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 2: You're to be like, hello, yeah, it's a combination of both.

1258
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: Because like I know, like every time you testing for

1259
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: a role or you're getting real close, they call it testing.

00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 3: You made it to that step of the audition process.

1268
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,399

00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: That's what I mean through there and then and damn,

1274
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a get hard for comics that are

Speaker 1: trying to get into comedy too, I mean getting into acting,

1276
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: because they probably put that stuff up. That's like a

1277
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: little crazy.

1278
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they scrubbing.

1279
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm half Jewish and half Jamaican. When I started my

1280
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: first company, it was a magazine shout outs to the

1281
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon. We were partners for like ten years. I

1282
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: remember my grandfather when I first moved from New York.

1283
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: He w'd always it was go to me, now, Coleen,

1284
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 1: when you get out there, just whatever you do, don't

1285
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: speak that you bonics and like that was his thing.

1286
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: Like I'd be like, grand but don't worry, like you know,

1287
00:52:58,960 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: I know how to turn it on and all.

1288
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1289
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: You know, I just talk like this to secretly make

1290
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: you all uncomfortable.

1291
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 2: You know.

1292
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes they get a high just from making them like uncomfortable.

1293
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 2: That's what I always tell people. I said, I'm smarter

1294
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: than I look. I just dressed this way. Yeah.

1295
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: But growing up in a black household, your parents are

1296
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: constantly preparing you for when you're getting hated on for

1297
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: no reason, constantly forgiving and you know, making sure that

1298
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: you're so above par that there's no room for error.

1299
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: And even when I work with clients, and I definitely

1300
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: try my hardest, when I'm spending white people money to

1301
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: book more black people, I'm always like, y'all can't show

1302
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: up late because one we're gonna look related and they're

1303
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm hugging up the homies. Right technically I am,

1304
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: but you know, but you know, we don't. We don't

1305
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: have an opportunity. We don't have two chances. We only

1306
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: have one. So if you show up late, or you

1307
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: look out of place, so you smell a certain way,

1308
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: like that's it. All of a sudden, those white people

1309
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: are so uncomfortable. They're like, can you send us out

1310
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: to bed and get us some more options? And you know,

1311
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: you send an invoice over and it's like, well, is

1312
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: it really supposed to be this amount?

1313
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 2: Exactly?

1314
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: And so you know, I understand the gig, but I

1315
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: just remember, you know, for years, my grandfather being so

1316
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: scared that when I wasn't with him, I was going

1317
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: to speak you bonys far from real for real, But

1318
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,760
Speaker 1: but I get that game. But I was always curious,

1319
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: like as far as an actor, like that's gotta be frustrating.

1320
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: I like the way, uh I saw a club of

1321
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: Gabrielle Union, Like how the black women in the industry

1322
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: kind of started sticking together mm hm and they would

1323
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: be like, okay, cool, I have to turn down this

1324
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: role for this price, and they all started sticking together

1325
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: and that brought their value up. Do the black men

1326
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: do the same, uh?

1327
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 2: I don't you know. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know

1328
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 2: if they do that. But I feel like I got

1329
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 2: a like strong little band and team of brothers that

1330
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 2: I feel like when one when one rises, we lifting,

1331
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 2: you know. And I don't know as far as like

1332
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 2: they standing in solidarity as far as like they money,

1333
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 2: Like hey, my boy only making da da da da

1334
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: da and he's making da da da da da. I

1335
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 2: think they would, and I know they do when they're

1336
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: on the same projects, like I know they do, Like

1337
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: if it's if it's two black dudes and yeah, I'm

1338
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 2: making this amount, but you're only making this they will,

1339
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: But I don't think they're giving a damn, Like if

1340
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: you're doing your own movies and shows and I make

1341
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 2: this much, but you make that over there, because that's

1342
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: all subjective and it's all relative.

1343
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel like you can fully be comfortable

1344
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: on sets or do you still feel like, Okay.

1345
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm comfortable.

1346
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm comfortable on sets, but they're still Like I said,

1347
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: there's still just certain it's a time and place for everything.

1348
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: There's still certain shit. I'm not gonna do certain shit.

1349
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say certain niggas. Can't come. No, you

1350
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 2: can't come home, can't come on set. Yeah, you can't

1351
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: come on set. You're not coming to my trailer. No, no, no,

1352
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying. So I feel like

1353
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 2: just a dose of Chris is enough. They don't need,

1354
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 2: they don't need the added extra invited niggas. Just one

1355
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: nigg enough. Let me know I'm cool, and I just

1356
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: feel like, yeah, I can be myself. But it's just

1357
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: still time and place for everything. Certain shit I ain't

1358
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: gonna do.

1359
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: Now. The first time you book your first series regular,

1360
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: take me back to the exact moment that tell me

1361
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: the whole scene, tell me the whole feeling, the thoughts

1362
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,000

1365
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 2: in the back or whatever, the Columbia Records Building. I

1366
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: remember Migos was on stage performing and my agent called

1367
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 2: to tell me that I booked that series regular and

1368
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: I had to go to Vancouver for like two months

1369
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: to film the shit. What was the name of it

1370
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: it was called at the time, it was called The Mission.

1371
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,799

01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: a mom is that when you're under high stress situations.

1664

1670
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:08,320

1671
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: da da, like make sure that if she is with me,

1672
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: comfort is the key. And I used to even when

1673
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I travel to like New York, I'm about to go

1674
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,599

1679
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: it's worth peace. And now I'm like at the point

1680
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,000

1681
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: you know what, it's cheap, but it's also like peace

01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: get paid to go to the club thousands of dollars.

1694
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,920

1698
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 2: to ten thousand just for being here, Like no, no, no, no, no,

1699
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 2: I understand. I can never. I can't imagine, Like it's like, yeah,

1700
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 2: so like I don't fuck with none of that.

1701
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I understand. There was a point where Chipotle sponsored my

1702
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: magazine for like years, and I would get like free

1703
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Chipotle cards and like stacks of them. They were like

1704
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 1: little baseball cards. I give them out on tour. But

1705
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: of course all the friends I'd be like, yo, stack

1706
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: for you, stack for you. And then when those cards

1707
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: eventually ran out, nobody when I say none of my

1708
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: friends could ever go to Chipotle again, because they were like,

1709
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: we've been eating Chippotle for five years straight. You think

1710
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: we ever gonna buy a burrito exactly ever again? And

1711
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 1: they were like we can never.

1712
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 2: I can never buy that that shit free, bro, Like,

1713
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 2: that's what fucked me up with. That's why I think

1714
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 2: that was the hardest thing to get out of. Like

1715
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: when I used to be around all my scammer friends

1716
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 2: back in Chicago, it was so hard to get back

1717
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 2: to a life where things actually costed money or your money,

1718
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I was like Jesus, like, Nigga,

1719
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 2: how much were groceries? I was like, Nigga, I'm damn

1720
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 2: for the call you're getting, brough, can you swipe for this? Like,

1721
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 2: swipe for this shit please?

1722
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Like I get it.

1723
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: I forgot how much food calls because I was so

1724
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 2: used to getting in ubers for free and getting like

1725
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 2: groceries delivered on Instacar, and all this shit was used

1726
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: to be free back in the day when I was

1727
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 2: with my scammer friends, and realizing how much the shit

1728
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 2: costs when you're using your own money.

1729
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: It's like Jesus, first of all, every time I go

1730
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: to the grocery store, I'd be flabbergasts that I spend.

1731
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Promise you, I spend almost one thousand dollars a month

1732
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: on groceries. Now, I will say this, I do try

1733
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: to avoid everything that has like hormones or that I

1734
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: don't really trust anymore.

1735
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 3: So that's why costs a thousand dollars. So let's tell

1736
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 3: the truth here.

1737
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: Okay, first costco toobout buying boat, and I cooked ninety

1738
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: nine percent of my meal. So for all your covers,

1739
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: and I know you ain't judged, you spent two to

1740
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars on weed.

1741
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, every two days, that's crazy smoke an ounce of weed.

1742
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: Every two days, that's I don't know what an ounce

1743
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,080

1746
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:36,360
