Uncle Marvin is back at it. And you know, 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: aside from your own comedy career, which we'll talk about 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: in a minute, which I love, and the White Tea Talk, 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: which I always love to watch, I want to talk 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: about what's happening for raising Kanaan and just seeing some 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: of the things that we are now finding out about 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: Uncle Marvin, which I it's kind of giving us some 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: insight into who your character is, little by little, you know. 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. As far as the show, well, first 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 2: things for having me, I appreciate having me again always, 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: you know, the show is I think this time. As 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: far as what makes it different from the other seasons, 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: we're going to be like we're touching down on the 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: history of the filming a little bit more like why 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 2: or how the Thomas family became be as far as 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: speaking about our parents. While we have our issues that 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: we have with each other and with them, and so 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: it's a little different this season, and as opposed to 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: I think sometimes people think they know where the story's 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: going to go. But this season it's gonna be a 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: lot of emotional plot twists that people were like. I 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: think I felt like the other seasons people didn't really 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: understand the dynamic of us being like, of this show 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: being like a family show. It's really just you know, 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: a peep into a regular family from south side Jamaica, 31 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: queens who got regular issues, who just grew up on 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: the block, and we survive in the best way we 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: know how. And I think some money trying to make 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: some money. So I think this season people understand like, oh, 35 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: they really are a family. They just happen to be 36 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: in the game. 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: I feel like. But in particular Uncle Marvin, we learn 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: a lot about because as Kanaan is trying to figure 39 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: out the story of his grandfather, we find out, because 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: that was your father on the show, that there were 41 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: some things about him that kind of made you into 42 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: who you are because you were the oldest, right and 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: so you were affected the most by your father. And 44 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: as far as like raising your other younger brother and 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: sister and things like that. But you remember on that show, 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: your character remembers the dad the most because you were 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: the oldest. 48 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely so. And you know that's the thing is, like 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: we realized that Marvin, some of Marvin's anger management issues, 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: some of that, you know, could have stemmed from his 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: father having the fact that his father had committed suicide. 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: So now Marvin's left to raise the family, trying to 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: figure that out, you know, potentially growing up a little 54 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: faster than he had wanted to, all the way into 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: his adulthood to where we see the dichotomy between him 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: at one point being the leader and now taking orders 57 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: from Rock. And that's always kind of been the undertone 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: underlining disagreement that Marvin or the resentment that Marvin's had 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: a little bit he knows it was his fault, but 60 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: still being the leader and then all of a sudden 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: taking orders from everybody Marvin has always had that I 62 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 2: think has dealt with that personally. 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: And two things I want to say to that. Number one, yes, 64 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: because I think that Marvin has felt like Rock isn't 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: giving him the credit and the respect that he feels 66 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: like he deserves right and the family, because imagine, now 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: you're taking orders and somebody younger than you absolutely also 68 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: a woman and a woman no matter what, man always 69 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: kind of have a bit of an issue with that. 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says. But then also the 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: second thing I want to say is seeing how Marvin 72 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: has been as a father, or lack of his presence 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: of being a father in his own daughter's life, you 74 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: would think, and sometimes people emulate what their father was like, 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: or they go the opposite way and they try to 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: show extra more love because they didn't get it right. 77 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: So you know, that's the thing is, you know, we 78 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: see Marvin having a strange relationship with his daughter where 79 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: really he like I say, really didn't have one completely. 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: Then through realizing and reflection, through anger management, we get 81 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: to season three where he's trying to be as you mention, 82 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: he's now trying to be super dad to the point 83 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: where he's overstepping his boundaries with his daughter and her 84 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: career and everything like that. So in season four we 85 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: get to see this other side of Marvin where I 86 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: think Marvin's starting to realize, oh, shoot, this the thing 87 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: that I the relationship that he's having with his daughter. 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: I think he's starting to see more of himself like, oh, 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: this is I got some responsibility to own in this 90 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: while my daughter is kind of the way she is. 91 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: But it took him a while to realize. You know, 92 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: he's starting to see himself. It's his characteristics within his daughter, 93 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: so which at some points good and bad, like Jukebox is. 94 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: Really she's strong and she will speak her mind and 95 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: she will fight back. But then what happens that she 96 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: continues to get older and starts to take more of 97 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: her father's example. And I don't even think they even 98 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: she realized it, or Martin realized it. It's just it 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: was like innate because she's around it. And I think 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: Marvin's feeling the responsibility of that going into season four, like, 101 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: oh shoot, so I gotta I got to own up 102 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: to some of this. 103 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: In a way, I kind of feel like, up until then, 104 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: Jukebox has been like the purest character on the show, 105 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the person that's not like the yeah, the one that's 106 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: engaging in the family activities and kind of sheltered from 107 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: that with the talent to. 108 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: Be able to do things absolutely, But. 109 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: Then I'm sure she's got her own demons. 110 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: Right, you know, she kind of been on the outskirts 111 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: of it and just kind of hanging out with Kanan. 112 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: But this season, you know, she shows up. You know what, 113 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: I'll give them too much away. She's showing up for 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: everybody and we see her. She's as Marvin is trying 115 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: to become his own man. Within this season, we see 116 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: her becoming her own woman or young lady in this season. 117 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: It's good. 118 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: Now I want to see as you're relating to this character. 119 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm just curious a couple of things about you. Number one, 120 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: what's your anger management? Like in real life? Are you? 121 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: Are you hot headed or not? Because for some reason 122 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: I can't see it with you. I watch your white 123 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: tee talk I tell you that, which I always find 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: quite entertaining, and it's good because sometimes I agree with you, 125 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't, but that's the point of it. But 126 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to you personally, you think you're a 127 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: hot headed person. 128 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: No, I'm really easy going because you know, first, the 129 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: first thing is I don't like uh. The thing about 130 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: it first is I don't like looking out of sorts, 131 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: So I don't like, you know, looking like I can't 132 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: control my emotions on myself. That's the first thing. The 133 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: second thing is one time when there have been times 134 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: when people have made me upset. The first of all, 135 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm already upset for whatever they did. The second thing 136 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: is I have too much pride to give people that 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: much power. 138 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: I agree with that. 139 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: I'm you're not gonna see me, you know now when 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: I get to my car and I to steer at 141 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: with whatever that is. But I'm not about to do that. 142 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: But then, also as I've gotten older, I just realized 143 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: life is too short to be, you know, blowing a 144 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: fuse over everything. So sometimes I just I just sit back, man, say, 145 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: it's how how serious? Is it really that important? It's 146 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: not that important, you know, whatever it is, even if 147 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: it's a slight agreement that we can agree to disagree, 148 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: we don't have to argue about it. And if I'm 149 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: not getting paid to fight, we need to be fighting, 150 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: because when you get older, you can't recover from a 151 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: fight like you can when you're sixteen. Us as an adult, 152 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: you mess around, miss a few days of work, you 153 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: don't heal the same way. Getting all of that, I'm good, man, 154 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: I'm cool. I mean me best I can, man, I 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: just try to First of all, I even get to 156 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: the point where it got to go there, but it 157 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: was so let me just walk away and too much, 158 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: too much to lose at this point. So I always 159 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: try to just chill out on conflict, to stay away 160 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: from it, avoid it if I can. 161 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: How does comedy help you when it comes to dealing 162 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: with any type of stress that you have in life? Like, 163 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: what does comedy, stand up comedy do for you? 164 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: You know? Personally? For example, I've been within the month 165 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: I've had to go to I'm going to this will 166 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: be my fifth funeral, will be this Tuesday, so just 167 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: within just within the month, so I'm getting calls. So 168 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: as far as to your question, the comedy for me helps, 169 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: I know, I get asked to speak at these funerals 170 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: sometimes of my friends and so forth, to help brighten 171 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: the mood and just bring a little bit of a 172 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: little bit of hope or some positivity to these situations. 173 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: So for me, if I can always see the brighter 174 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: side of whatever it is, it's not it's really not 175 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 2: that bad, you know. And and again it's just I 176 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: think it's perspective how we decide to look at whatever 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: the issue is. So it's like man between what we 178 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: consider missed opportunities whatever that sometimes even if it's coming 179 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: to things like this, if I were to, let's say, 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: miss a flight. Sometimes I look at that said, well, 181 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: maybe in my mind, this is some of the things 182 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: I think I said. Maybe, Okay, maybe I got to 183 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: the my uber lake because I was trifling. And the 184 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 2: second thing is, well, maybe you know I was supposed 185 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: to leave my keys in the house because I'm avoiding 186 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: an accident. Okay, cool. Maybe there's something in that. I 187 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: don't know, So I just try to find some sort 188 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: of positive note to it, because it's it's way easy 189 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: to find. Everything can be can be negative. I can 190 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: be mad, well, why didn't they Why didn't Angela have 191 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: the the orange slices is peeled already? People wake up 192 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: like that, you know, people like, why you mad?

I don't know if her hands are cleaned. 196 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: People like that. Yeah, but I don't waste no time 197 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: doing that stuff. 198 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: Have you seen the Uncle Marvin muck Bang videos that 199 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: they've been doing where they have you like eating food. 200 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: It's like a whole compilation of you know, you didn't 201 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: know what muck bank does sound nasty.

It just has to be nice and organic. 222 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: And you know you came up with that snacking was 223 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: just yeah, it was one of those things I'm like, well. 224 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: And that's the real thing. We all know somebody that's 225 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: like always snacking on something that's it. 226 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's organic for me and it works. 227 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: And it's very New York. It's like bodega because a 228 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: lot of that is like stuff that's in the bodega 229 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: that yeah, and everybody I think about growing up in 230 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: New York, how everybody was always like getting a bunch 231 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: of stuff from the bodega, Like you want anything from there, 232 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to the store and then and that's kind 233 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: of it does feel like a real New York thing. 234 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's you know again, it's just one of 235 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: those things where there's just another layer. There are a 236 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: lot of different things that Marvin does. That just happens 237 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: to be one of the ones. But Marvin's into a 238 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: lot of different things. But that's just that's one of 239 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: the obvious ones. But there are a lot of emotional 240 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: layers that's just as prevalent to to who he is, 241 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: like the food is. 242 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: And it's interesting because when you were doing the anger 243 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: management classes, we finally got to see a little love 244 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, yeah type of thing, which I feel like 245 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: he's not a womanizer either, necessarily he's. 246 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: Not that, you know. 247 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: And even with it's like food is the passionate. 248 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: Food is one of those things. But you know, even 249 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: with the excuse me, even with the interest that the 250 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: counselor eventually starts to have with Marvin, Marvin wasn't wasn't 251 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: in macmu with her. He was just going, really going, 252 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: taking the classes. But there's something charming or endearing about 253 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: Marvin that she was taking a liking to. I think 254 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: it could have been the vulnerability, like Marvin wasn't in there, 255 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: you know, crying on her shoulders, but the fact that 256 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: he was pretty just honest and just hey, I'm not 257 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: the best father. You know, these are my issues. I 258 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 2: don't feel like being here, and I think that's something 259 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 2: that can be appreciated or the character she could appreciate 260 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: about Marmin, just his transparency. 261 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: I also, since you brought up Tony Danza, I mean 262 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: amazing to be able to I just think about Tony 263 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: Danza in our childhood. I'm telling you what that meant. 264 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: So how did you feel being able to have those scenes? 265 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: First of all, didn't even know he's joining the show 266 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: until we did a zoom table read, and he he 267 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: was cooking in the you know, at the top of 268 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: the zoom. So it's like, well, Tony Dancer's in the show. 269 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: So first thing I go to, as you mentioned, I 270 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: go right to Who's the Boss? Come about the eighties? 271 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: I loved that show. And so when I finally had 272 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: a chance to meet him, it was cool because he 273 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: was so nice. And if he had an attitude and said, hey, 274 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: if he had it in the paperwork, don't look me 275 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 2: in the eye, and you know when you speak to 276 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: him or call him Mster Danzer, I would have respected it. 277 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: He's earned that, no doubt. But the fact that he 278 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: was cool. I mean, he got stories for days. He 279 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: knows everybody and hey, London, I'll tell you the time 280 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: I was on the boat it with me, Jesus and 281 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: Peter like and we walked through the water. I made him, 282 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 2: made him the lasagna. He's just like stories for everything, 283 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: and but they're always great. You always learned a lesson. 284 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: And we sat on a couple of times we would 285 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: step off to the side and talk to him about 286 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: tap dance and we do some We go through some 287 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: stuff with tap dancing and just hanging out. And he's 288 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: a great I know, not well. 289 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, that's just like, tell me 290 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: about these tap dancing you. 291 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: Know, well, I used to tap dance. So because of that, 292 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: Tony and I obviously I know that he tap dancers. 293 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: So we would talk and we would every now and 294 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: again we go through a couple shuffle steps and we 295 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: would just do that in between tapes. 296 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: We need to see some video of that. 297 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: That would be great. You know, he's cool, he's uh. 298 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: So we were just talking between the tapes, but he's 299 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: so nice, and I'm just like, I'm just I just 300 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: want to just listen to whatever he had to say. 301 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: So the relationship that people see in the scenes between uh, 302 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: Marvin and Stefano is really also London and Tony just 303 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: in a scene. The words are, the words are the dialogue, 304 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: but it's really London and Tony just sitting there and 305 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: chopping it up. So he was cool, man, very He's 306 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: just very nice because he could have been. He could 307 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: have been. He earned the right to be, you know, 308 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: be different. But the fact that he was cool made 309 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: me respect me even that much more. 310 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes you meet people that you grew up on, that 311 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: you loved, and you cannot like them after meeting them. 312 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: But it's amazing when you can meet somebody that is 313 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: nostalgic for you and be like wow, yeah, so dope. 314 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: It just it just adds to it just adds to 315 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: the whole experience. So we've done a lot of press 316 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: together and he's just he's just cool. He shows love. 317 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: He respects my work. I was respect his, and so 318 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, because sometimes too, you get a name like that, 319 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: they come on the show and then they feel they 320 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: feel they are above the other actors because they're older 321 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: than the actors and more experienced. He didn't, he didn't 322 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: act like that. He was cool. He was proud to 323 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: be a part of the project. He talks about it 324 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: and he's even he's gained a whole new audience, a 325 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: younger audience to the show from the show. So shout 326 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: out to Tony Dancers. 327 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: I didn't even realize it was him at first, like 328 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: when I when I was first watching it and yeah, 329 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to say, and then I saw that Tony 330 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: dance and I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize 331 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: that was Tony. 332 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, well you don't look like who's 333 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: the balls because you know he's but his energy is 334 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: still good. Yeah, he's good to sullid man. 335 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting too about like you said, Stefano 336 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: and Stefano and Marvin, because you're kind of doing things 337 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: for him aside from what him and Rock have going on. 338 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, you're looking out because he needs help in 339 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: other ways. But then sometimes it feels like is that 340 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: overstepping boundaries as far as trying to get your own 341 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: relationship in a way. 342 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, that's why Marven is treading on 343 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: thin ice when it comes to this. He's Marvin is 344 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: acting like he's not He wants to be his own man, 345 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: but at the same time he's still watching his back 346 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: to see if Rock is aware. But Rock, the way 347 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 2: they wrote the character and the way the Patina's playing it, 348 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: she's so smart. She's not saying anything, but she's connecting 349 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: all the dots real slowly. She's she's watching and listening 350 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: to what Marvin is saying and pentits into his behavior. 351 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: And marvinus is willing to take the risk of her 352 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 2: finding out or whatever because he's ready to step out 353 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: and be his own person because he's been taking orders 354 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: from her for so long, so it causes him to 355 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: actually have a respect for Stefano, because Stefano was like 356 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: the first person and saying he, yo, you did a 357 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: good job with taking out whoever he took out. He 358 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: acknowledges the fact that he appreciates his work. So that's 359 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: something new for Marvel. Marvel's like, oh, man, finally I'm 360 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: getting some respect around here. Somebody appreciate what I do. Now. 361 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: He leans in closer to hear what Stephanel has to say. 362 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: Oh, I wonder if you think Marvin's character is smart 363 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: enough to go against his sister. 364 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: Marviin a think might be smart enough. He's just thinking 365 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: about he's just ready to He's ready to go, so 366 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: he's not I don't e think he's thought about all 367 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: the consequences, right, but you respect them. 368 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: But that's why sometimes you can't be a leader, right 369 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: Like he's he is the hot head, and he is 370 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: the one that is going to just go what you 371 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: need me to do and handle it. And that's important. 372 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: But it's different, it's a different role. 373 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: It's a different role in life. Sometimes it takes us 374 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: getting it takes us maxing out. Are getting fed up 375 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: when we get tired of something enough, then we make changes. 376 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: And I think that's what Marvin is. He just was 377 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: fed up. He's done, and it's like, yo, I'm whatever, 378 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 2: whatever happens happens, let's. 379 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: Go as raising Cannon is back. I also want to 380 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: say I was kind of disappointed that Rock didn't keep 381 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: Unique's baby. Oh you know that I was. I was like, 382 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: they have a little gangster baby, you know what I'm saying, 383 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: Like her, that would. 384 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: Have been a whole other sting. That would have been 385 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 2: a spin off, Wow, the Unique Rock. You know, that 386 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: would have been some while right there. See, that's a 387 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: whole other. 388 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: And I want to say I knew he wasn't when 389 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: I was watching the last season. I knew he wasn't dead. 390 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: I just knew it because I was like, they didn't 391 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: show they'd never found the body, and I know whenever 392 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: that happens on the show, that means that person still alive. 393 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: You know, this show we just the fans. I mean, 394 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: the writers are so good. They never they always need 395 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: the fans not knowing quite. They write it in a 396 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 2: way to where, first of all, each after each episode, 397 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: you don't really it's almost a cliffhanger. So they set 398 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: it up that way, and then just when you think 399 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: you understand the story. Somebody get killed off or somebody 400 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: gets introduced. So I liked the fact that we think 401 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: we have to handle on these characters, but sometimes we 402 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: don't because the writers are just they're good for the suspense. 403 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: But every now and again we get somebody like a 404 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: detective like yourself, and he be. 405 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 1: Like because I didn't want him to be you know how, 406 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: they didn't find his body, so I think he's still alive. 407 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: And the other thing that's interesting to me is like 408 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: with Rock, originally she really did not want Canan to 409 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: be involved in that lifestyle. But now he is just 410 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: messed up for life. There's just no going back, and 411 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: she's responsible for that. 412 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: She's responsible for that. I think his uncle plays a 413 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 2: part of that. Oh, we all do. So it's one 414 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: of those things where it's like but you know, as 415 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: the show continues, we all I think at some point 416 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: we say yo, because at first he's like okay. It 417 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: was kind of one of those things where we we's like, 418 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: all right, you are all right, since you want to 419 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 2: do this. I got a little a little task for you, 420 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: but that's it. But then it got to a point 421 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: where he started going, he started moving before the horse 422 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 2: were like, yeah, yo, whoa whoa hold on, But by 423 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: that time it's already Kine is already spiring out of 424 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: control to the point where I think at the end 425 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 2: of last season, Kane says something slick after jukebox performance. 426 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: He said something he popped off on his mom's I'm like, 427 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: Marm's like, yo, you're gonna let this you want? Can 428 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: you want me? If you don't want, I can put 429 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: pull out the belt. So but by that point Kane 430 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: is becoming his own person, which is kind of that's 431 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: really cool to see within this show. Was like, because 432 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: I remember season whenever it's like he we're not getting 433 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: the Cane advised. We like, we know we telling the story. 434 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: We gotta you don't become Canan overnight. You got to 435 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: grow and experienced life. But by this by the this season, 436 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: man oh man, he's disrespectful. 437 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: He is now South central l A growing up there. 438 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: But you have this New York. How do you feel 439 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: about your New York accent? Are you? 440 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 3: Well? 441 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: I'm not in it now, but when I was, when 442 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: I was in the middle of this show, I felt 443 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: good about it only because the followers told me. 444 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: Because you know, Malcolm May's. It's funny that y'all both 445 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: are like these New York characters. But it actually it 446 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: came off good to me. I didn't know. I never 447 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: really thought about it. 448 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the that's the main thing, because nothing 449 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 2: worse than like trying to enjoy a project and you know, 450 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: you got somebody supposed to be from Atlanta but they 451 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: sound in British. You're like, oh man, I just it 452 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: throws it off. So the fact that people would ask 453 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 2: me where I'm from or what part I was like 454 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: cool because I don't need you know. 455 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: You practice that like or did you you. 456 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 2: Know part of it was? I used to in my set, 457 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: I would do this Denzel bit. So Denzel being from 458 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: Mount Vernon just well how that came about. I used 459 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: to watch films with my boys. Uh, we would as actors, 460 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: we would watch different stuff, and as friends, we just watched. 461 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: We're fans of Denzel, so just naturally I would go 462 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,479 Speaker 2: back through the story. Hey, yo, did you remember that 463 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 2: part when Denzel said you didn't land no blimoit rock, 464 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 2: but Blimomit Rock landed okay on us whatever the line was. 465 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: And so I never really worked on the Denzel voice 466 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: that was just kind of there, so having a little 467 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 2: bit of that as a foundation of some New York 468 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: but also shout out to Doug who was our dialect coach. 469 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: Funny thing about Doug is Doug is a like Spielberg 470 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: looking white boy, like beard, older guy, glasses and you 471 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: know nothing about him. On site would say south Side 472 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: Jamaica Queens, but he would drill us man and we 473 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 2: would go through these exercises. And then also I was 474 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: always outside too. I was kind of immersed in the 475 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: culture because I wanted to figure out just the dialect 476 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: and just what was going on. Also listened to a 477 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: lot of a lot of Queens rappers listen, you know, 478 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: nas was always just the soundtrack for me throughout the project, 479 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: but just also just being outside and just seeing how 480 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: passionate New Yorkers can be about everything, everything, simple things. 481 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: It's just interesting to me when other people talk about 482 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: how New Yorkers talk, because I just you know, I'm 483 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: from here. So sometimes they get it right sometimes, but 484 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: it's just funny because we do have certain words that 485 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: we say. 486 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: Just you know, I just appreciate it. I just appreciate it. 487 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: So to stay in that, I just never while I 488 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: was shooting the show. I didn't like go back to 489 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: my South Central dialect and they come back to Lah. 490 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 2: It's just too much. So I would just kind of 491 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: stay in it even off set. That's my one practice 492 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: that I would do. Everything else I would leave at work, 493 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: but the dialect. I just try to hold on to that, 494 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 2: because you know, that's little things like that can just 495 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: It's like, it's like we're in nineteen ninety one and 496 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: then the last thing you want to see is a 497 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 2: background actor texting. It's like it just takes. 498 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: You out, feel like that's impossible. 499 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: It takes you out of the zone. So I just 500 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: wanted to stay in the zone. So shout out to 501 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: shout out all to New York, and everybody ran into 502 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: who would who had conversations because I was listening and 503 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 2: listening trying to listen. 504 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: Well, now you also are doing stand up coming, You've 505 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: been doing stand up comedy, and I feel like your 506 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: White Tea Talks really prepared you for that. I always 507 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: feel like if you can sit and talk to a 508 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: camera about a topic for no one talking back to 509 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: you or doing that, that's a real skill to be 510 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: able to have to hold somebody's attention to have these 511 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: topics that you could just sit there and discuss and 512 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: it'll be like something random like church being commercialized. Now 513 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,239 Speaker 1: you have one where you talk about that they got 514 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the VIP line and. 515 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, well, and I agree. I'm glad you 516 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: acknowledged that because I think people think that's what's so 517 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 2: annoying about respectfully, that's what so annoying about the podcasts world. 518 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: I think there's so many people doing it, but they 519 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 2: don't understand it's a real skill to do. What it 520 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: is you do is not everybody. Don't have can't hold 521 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: a conversation, don't have things to talk about, don't have 522 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: an angle. So for those of you who do it, well, 523 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 2: shout out to y'all and the other ones who are 524 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: trying to figure it out. You know, do what you do, 525 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 2: but you know, it's a real skill. You know, it's 526 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: a real skill. I want to just I know, people, now, 527 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: how you gonna come up here and talk about me? 528 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: I just get my podcasts? He talking about me. I'm 529 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 2: not talking about anybody. I'm just saying in general, it's 530 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: a skill to know how to have some sort of 531 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: conversation or an angle. So with the white tea talks. 532 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: That's just me in my perspective on these different topics 533 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 2: in church being one of those things where I grew 534 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: up in church, I played in church, and so forth. 535 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 2: But I feel like today we're just at a time 536 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 2: where I'm a little old school in the sense of 537 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 2: sometimes I don't I'm not necessarily trying to hear a 538 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: bunch of opinions about stuff when it comes to spiritual guidance, 539 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 2: Just like, what's just give me the truth and let 540 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: me figure it out from there, as opposed to you 541 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: trying to dazzle it or communicate with me. So, for example, 542 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 2: let's say I go to a church and the pastor 543 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: to see me in the church, you know, and God 544 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: is doing something special, He's raising everybody, even Cainan don't 545 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: do that. Just let just give me the word. I'm 546 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: good with just whatever the bodyble says, whatever whatever special 547 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: guidance is. But you know, so the white tea talks 548 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: are just me just simply, you know, based in truth, 549 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: though I don't want it's not even not necessarily opinion, 550 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: especially with the relationship. I'm just like, yo, here's just 551 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 2: another angle. I'm not saying it's the only way, it's 552 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 2: the right way or the wrong just consider another angle 553 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: to what you may already believe. That's all all. 554 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Right, but let me ask your opinion on a couple 555 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: of things that have been happening in television and you know, rumors, 556 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: all right, this was a topic we talked about up here. 557 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Married to medicine quad and her boy friend, they've been dating. 558 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about it if you've never 559 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: seen it. But anyway, she wants them to live together. 560 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: But she wants him to move into her house, and 561 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: he felt like traditionally, as a man, he didn't feel 562 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: like he should be moving into a woman's home. You know, 563 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 1: He's like, why don't we get a place together and 564 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: you rent your place out? But she loves her house. 565 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: She's like, look, I you know I did this. This is 566 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: the first house I bought in my almost a beautiful home. 567 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: Now could you see moving into a woman's house or 568 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: would you feel like now we got to get something 569 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: on our own? Or does that feel you feel like 570 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: she got a nice house, I'll move in. 571 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 2: Absolutely not not happening. You know. The thing about it 572 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: is this though, there's a different it's a thing. It's 573 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: sometimes I said this way, in general, we can we 574 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 2: can do things emotionally that may cause us to feel 575 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: differently from when we first thought to approach whatever that is. 576 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 2: So it's the same way. It's the same thing. Sometimes 577 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: when I was when I was teaching, I was working 578 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: to have school programs and so forth, and I used 579 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: to tell the parents, try not to give out a 580 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 2: reward when you're super excited, or discipline when you're very upset, 581 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: because emotionally we can make promises in ideas that we 582 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: can't keep. So I'm saying is to say that as 583 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: a guy, I would not move into like now. I've 584 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I've stayed in there a couple 585 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: of times. I spend but full on. You know, I 586 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: don't even play games. But here's my xbox and hear 587 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: my hats and put them up. No, because at any point, 588 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: if you know you don't come in early enough for 589 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: you know you don't, you don't put the seat back down, 590 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 2: You're going to get a notice. And you know it's 591 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: also a thing. It's a thing for that kind of 592 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: power is a different thing man, and in the hands 593 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: of a of a woman. So I say, hey, keep 594 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: it safe and find something mutual, or if she don't 595 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 2: want to get rid of the home, cool, keep your 596 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: home and maybe if you want to rent it out 597 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: or still do something. And then hey, baby, let's let's 598 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: go get this studio apartment together. At least it's ours. 599 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: And it's because that way we on equal footing. But 600 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: him going on the lease, oh man, him going over there. 601 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: Her house is beautiful though she got a nice pool, 602 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: hot tub. I mean, what afall she. 603 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: Gonna And she's gonna remind him of it every time 604 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: he acts up. You're in my nice pool. You don't 605 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: like how my roote's gonna change. 606 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: Now. Another thing that you talked about on your White 607 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: Tea talk. You talked about people who all of a 608 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: sudden become like these financial gurus after taking a course. 609 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: You know, not to cut you off, but the knowing. 610 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: This is the thing about it. And I'm speaking on 611 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: behalvy and I'm not even coming from someplace broke. I'm 612 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: just on behalf of people who are trying to become 613 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 2: financially literate and trying to understand what to do with 614 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: their finances. First off, those of you who understand money, 615 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 2: this is what I want. I would like for you 616 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 2: just to consider. Here's another angle. Everybody don't have five 617 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: thousand dollars ten thousand dollars to just invest. If they 618 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: do got that kind of money, they don't have that 619 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 2: kind of money to risk. As far as like this, 620 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 2: I member in my house, we grew up and we 621 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 2: had like one family man, and I remember I used 622 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: to try to drive when I got my license, and 623 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: my mom was like, listen, we don't have another if 624 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: you wreck the car. This is it like in my house. 625 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: Maybe because I'm coming from a different place, but my 626 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: angle is this, I didn't grow up in a family 627 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: where I had people I could borrow from, Like that's 628 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: not my reality of just saying, or even for myself. 629 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: It wasn't like I could go on go away to 630 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: school or somewhere and be and my mom drove up 631 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: with the with the U haul and had new bed 632 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 2: sheets and all my supplies. I couldn't borrow. From my mind, 633 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 2: that wasn't the household that grew up. And so coming 634 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: from that angle, I wish that those who are financially 635 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: stable remember you're also My question is do you want 636 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: to help people get financially stable or do you just 637 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: want to let us know how much you know about finances, 638 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: because if you care, talk to us in a way 639 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: that we understand. People get on there and say, hey, listen, man. 640 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 3: All you gotta do you get a CPA, You get 641 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 3: a CPA, you get a TTL. Once you get TTL, 642 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: you put three thousand dollars into the IRA eight and ora. 643 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 3: And for listen, bro, we don't know all the letters 644 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 3: and all of that.

So that's where 708 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 2: I was. But I just knew I worked at the 709 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: school because I love working kids. And I still do 710 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 2: shout out to n CRIF National College Resources Foundation organization 711 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 2: where we helped students get into the HBCUs.

Ambassadors kel Mitchell DaVinci from being Math, 714 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 2: we're all a part of this as ambassadors. But again, 715 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 2: I love working with kids, so I knew. I knew 716 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 2: that that was where I needed to be at the time. 717 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 2: So fortunately I didn't have you know, I don't have kids. 718 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 2: I didn't have a lot of responsibilities. Just had a car, note, 719 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: cell phone. That was about it. So if I could 720 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 2: keep my my maintenance stuff down, I didn't really need 721 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 2: a high pand job at the time. So but I 722 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 2: just was like, yea, I gotta stay focused and that 723 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 2: was all I was on and let me work these 724 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 2: open mics comedy clubs until something happened. I didn't know. 725 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 2: I just knew I was enjoying what I was doing. 726 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: But that's why it's important to do what it is 727 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 2: you love to do, because you can do it for free, 728 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 2: or it'll help you sustain doing it for free if 729 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: you actually like what it is you're doing. So I 730 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 2: just knew I had to stay very focused, and I 731 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 2: knew one thing. I knew I wasn't gonna have no 732 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 2: kids because I don't know nothing else. I know kids 733 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 2: are expensive. 734 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a whole other level. 735 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 2: It's a whole other level. I wasn't ready for that. 736 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: So I just quite responsible. 737 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 2: I tried to be. I tried to be. 738 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 1: Every guy that has kids young was saying they wasn't 739 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna have no kids, but somehow it happened. 740 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 2: I just knew I can afford it. I mean, if 741 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 2: nothing else, but there's no way you have a kid. 742 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 2: You got to think about food, You got me formally, 743 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 2: got to think about babysitters. 744 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: You gotta think about the mom, and you gotta make 745 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: sure she's taking. 746 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: Care of her too. I forgot about that. But see, 747 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about just a kid. I got us too much. 748 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: Because if she's not good, the kids not good at 749 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 1: the kids living with her, you gotta you know. 750 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 2: So I just wasn't. I just didn't want no parts 751 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: of that because I just saw I saw a lot 752 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: of my friends have a hard time with that, and 753 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 2: I love children. I just it just was gonna be 754 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 2: distracting from what I was trying to do. 755 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen that with Jukebox, you know, right right, Well, listen, 756 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: I appreciate you for stopping through, Like honestly, I think 757 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: you are hilarious, just from everything, like are you gonna 758 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: do an hour special? Half hour special? Like what's the 759 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: plan when. 760 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: It so right now? It's just been so well now 761 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 2: that we you know, for this particular season, we're done shooting. 762 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: So that's why I'm in the clubs heavy. I just 763 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: want I'm just working out and flushing out material right 764 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 2: now because yes, ultimately that's the goal. Because people don't know, 765 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 2: sit don't know I do stand up. So I'm still 766 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 2: working to get you know, to get that out. You 767 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 2: know people, the people who know know and our tour 768 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: and different things like that, but still a lot of 769 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 2: people just don't know I come from stand up. 770 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: So what's people's reaction when they see you and they 771 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: didn't know that? 772 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, it is when you know, when 773 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 2: I first step out, they're excited to see me from 774 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: the show. Fortunately, they think after coming off these last 775 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: few seasons, they think Marvin is funny. So that helps 776 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: because initially Marvin this this show is a drama, so 777 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 2: you know, I'm coming into the show on the drama 778 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: side on the season one, so they were still trying 779 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 2: to figure it out. But for whatever they found humorous 780 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 2: about Marvin, it's been helping. So initially they come on 781 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: the like, well what is he? Okay? That's here? They 782 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 2: clap and then they're like, what do you what are 783 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 2: you doing?
