00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: I want to introduce you to the founder of this project.

134
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: He owned the life rights. This is how I got

135
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: it with the project. And you know, think about Jeff

136
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. He plays shy boy, right, but he's

137
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: the real player. He has the ship ready when it's

138
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: time to deliver. And you you know, you impressed them

139
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: both with like just a little bit of the knowledge.

140
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: I mean I remember obviously talking to Kevin was a

141
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: little longer than the first initial conversation with Taji.

142
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah see, but it was beautiful.

143
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: It was also cool watching them see you walk in.

144
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: So I stood back and watched that and they're just

145
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: you know, KB, and just like the fact that you know,

146
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: it's just amazing.

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great, and I felt that the entire time.

148
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: I felt like the camaraderie was there. And again as

149
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: we began shooting more, you saw how Miles and and

150
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: Quad and you know, Melvin and Chloe and everybody was

151
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: just I mean, it was an unbelievable flow.

152
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: And it was a respect.

153
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Too, and I think that's why we got such good

154
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: energy and performances out.

155
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: Of everybody, you know, absolutely, So, you know, Claremont was

156
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: one thing, right.

157
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 3: And so the next scene that you and I both

158
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: went to was at that house in East Atlanta and

159
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: we are, you know, pulling up and I saw the

160
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: black Cadillac right, and I'm like, they're all my I mean,

161
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: because you know, it's like we had to clear my

162
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: way inside the entire time seeing vehicles. You don't know

163
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: what really is going to do. And I'm looking around

164
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: at all the houses. You had all these nineteen sixties

165
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: cars in the driveway everywhere everywhere, and I'm like, oh shit,

166
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: Like we're outside and I'll never forget it.

167
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: You're timid and shy. I'm holding your hand, Come with me.

168
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: That's how I felt, because you know, Sam, I think

169
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: it was because Kevin made an intro. Kevin walked up

170
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: and everybody's all and I'm like, oh, this motherfucker's really

171
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: superstar and Sam I didn't even see him sitting in

172
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: the chair already there. So I turned around him like,

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: oh ship. So immediately I'm like, how you doing right?

174
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: And he's like, what's up, young Lood? I said, how

175
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: long is it gonna take you to say? Motherfucker, that's

176
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: the first thing.

177
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: That's what you said.

178
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I say that.

179
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: That's the first thing I said to him. He said,

180
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: we got a bet going right now. I swear it's

181
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: the first thing I said, is.

182
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: Saying that's hilarious.

183
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: And so we started laughing and Kevin is like, I'm

184
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 3: gonna get you the shot because he knows I'm gonna set.

Speaker 2: Struck a direction.

206
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: There was one scene was I got a picture of that,

207
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: the director standing up with you. But I remember one scene,

208
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 3: and I don't know if you remember the scene. It

209
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: was when they were all in the car and it

210
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: came out of the house. Clearly somebody had just got.

211
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 4: Shout out to Michael playing the body, Michael, I was

212
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 4: about to give you yo.

213
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: They come out the scene, Michael gets in Terrence and

214
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 3: and this is when I knew that I needed these two.

215
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: And I didn't know I needed Terrence Howard and Sam

216
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: Jackson before this they were doing something and Michael's in

217
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: the front. He's wiping blood off his hand and I

218
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: forgot the exact line, but it was between you know,

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: Kevin had said it's a time to go, and Sam

220
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: said something and then fucking Terrence's reply.

221
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: It was every movie I saw terrenceon. I got every feeling.

222
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: Of that, you know, Terrence Howard sass and wit and

223
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: smart ass shit.

224
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my guy.

225
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: And I remember because I was taping it, I'm by

226
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: the dude with the main camera.

227
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: They like, what the fuck is Kenny doing? Put your cameras.

228
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: Oh man, bread taking bread taking stuff man? And I

229
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: think you know, NeXT's assembly brop. All the sets are up.

230
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: The first time we see Michael, Kevin, Terrence, and Sam, right,

231
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: so you get an eye fi right, No, but the

232
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 3: first day Taraji wasn't at the house, correct, right, So

233
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: we get these four and you're just seeing this overwhelming chemistry.

234
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: Right.

235
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: So then you know we go back because I remember

236
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: Taraji did the Claremont and then she was off on

237
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: something else and she came back. And the first time

238
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: she came back it was at the house in the assembly, right,

239
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: and you know Kevin, I've seen Kevin and Regina. Oh

240
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: I thought that was my favorite combination. I really thought

241
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: that they were just so much and they are and

242
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see him another film, and maybe

243
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: it would be one of our right, you like that

244
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: pitch we're pitching, hear me now? But Taraji and Kevin Bro,

245
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's almost like in mind you, everybody who's

246
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: listening to this, this is serious acting. There's some funny shit,

247
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: but these two together and again it's more props to you, keV.

248
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm I believe, I've been believed. I've been a supporter.

249
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: But Bro, you're gonna get a war for Chicken Man.

250
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: He's going to We don't know he's going to. But

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: them together is so dynamic and mind you, ladies and gentlemen,

252
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: she's the side piece. How did you feel about that

253
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: first day on assembly when we were in the house.

254
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: I mean that was crazy too, because you know, I've

255
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: been in the real house and so again, Tony, the

256
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: way that you know now you feel like you're walking

257
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: back into this place right just again, well, you know

258
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 4: i'd seen them day one with Adkins Saint Claremontia exactly

259
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: and by the way, at some point and I think

260
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 4: this has already happened, Will puts me on the phone

261
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: with Tarachi because t is like, hey, I just want

262
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 4: to you know, kick.

263
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Back a little bit, get a little fit. So that

264
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: was cool. Now it's like she wants to know more

265
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: about the character. Yeah, and just again it's like about,

266
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: by the way.

267
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: This time, Jeff is on my head about pitching her

268
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: about another project. So it was so I was so

269
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: happy that you had, yeah, go ahead.

270
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: So but but I'm just saying, so now I gotta

271
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: kind of speak with Tara, and she's kind of lists

272
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 4: a way, you know, just to get to brainstorm for

273
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 4: a couple of minutes. She might have taken something whatever.

274
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: But that was just cool because now first time, you know,

275
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: it's Tarazi blah blah blah.

276
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: But now we got to talk ten fifteen minutes.

277
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: You know, I was like, hey, TROGI this is kind

278
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: of what you know, in my mind, I was thinking,

279
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: you go with whatever, but let me give you a

280
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: feel or what this looked like. So she's like, oh,

281
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: a couple of good times, like hey, I might be

282
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 4: able to use somebody. So just to watch her kind

283
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: of you know, go through it. Yeah, and haven't talked

284
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: to her.

285
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta imagine like you've known this character

286
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: in your mind and several different versions of scripts and storytelling,

287
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: and now you get to actually tell her about the

288
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: original person and she goes and nails it and just

289
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: watching again her and Kevin just great, Kim.

290
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: And it was kind of funny though, because again they're friends.

291
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: So sometimes I could see keV like trying to whatever

292
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: make and Tarji just pushed it.

293
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Like fool, get it up.

294
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: Of exactly, you can't say it, but she'd be like

295
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: Nigga flee.

296
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 4: Yes, and so to me, But to me, I'm I'm

297
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 4: just like watching because you know, again, Kevin's a big star,

298
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: but they're years they.

299
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: Should have watched like a love song. And I remember

300
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: you called me and that was a little.

301
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: Where I was like, I can't like it's.

302
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: Mother, but I love you know the fact that their chemistry,

303
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: you know, came to life.

304
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: Man.

305
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: And again I'm saying these pairings of my personal favorites.

306
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you never knew you needed Sam in

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: Tears together. You never knew you needed Taraji and Kevin together,

308
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And Michael man Atkins, I

309
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: think they're like superheroes in their own right.

310
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: In his storytelling, right.

311
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: So Atkins plays a bit of a middle man throughout

312
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Silky right silk, and he had this

313
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,960

00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: you know again, there was this allure. It's Sam, It's

469
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 4: Kevin Charck, but don from me again, just because that

470
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 4: was the guy at the beginning and just somebody I

471
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 4: looked up, you know what I mean.

472
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: So day one.

473
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: Like you said that on the last episode, I never

474
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: knew that Don was even in.

475
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: You know, a part of the conversation.

476
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: And in my mind, it's beautiful chicken man, like you know,

477
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: a testimony. So I go there the first day that

478
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 4: I'm able to see him. You're coming later, and I'm

479
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 4: sitting with Will and everybody like that. And so at

480
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: some point they're like, hey, you know, do you want

481
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: to go? Like he's finished, you got some time? So

482
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 4: Will takes me up to meet Done. And so there's

483
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 4: a couple other people, but I'll never forget it. So

484
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 4: we're in this tent. You're there too. I got a picture,

485
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 4: and at some point Don, like you know, turns me

486
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: and we make the introductions. He's like this guy, and

487
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: so Don starts quoting from the podcast JD. Okay, and

488
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: so this is again the probably the first and only

489
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 4: out of body. So I'm having a conversation with Don,

490
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 4: but I'm not talking to Don. I'm in my head

491
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: and I'm thinking, is that is Don Cheetle talking to you?

492
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: Okay?

493
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: So I'm talking to myself right now, and so I

494
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 4: so now he's quoting the podcast, yeah, and to myself,

495
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, is Don Cheeto quoting our podcast back to it?

496
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: So I'm not talking to Don yet And at some

497
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: point and some point in my mind, I say to myself, dude,

498
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 4: don Cheeto's talking to you like you need to like

499
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 4: so finally I'm able, but I'm just like, what the fuck?

500
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: So that threw me off a little because again he's

501
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: quoting the podcast of JD because that's his character to me.

502
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: And at some point I snap out of it and

503
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: there's Canny and there's Will Oh, it's Don chingo us, Oh,

504
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: thank you.

505
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: You know, we have a go.

506
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 4: And then I'm able to like at some point like

507
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 4: but but that threw me a little bit for a loop,

508
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 4: that first one.

509
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: But I think it was you know, you're you're and

510
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: I think Dame.

511
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 4: A little bit was like the podcast was cool, Like

512
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: so I'm like, it's just hard.

513
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: But that's what ignited everything, right, So first of all,

514
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: it's them honoring your work. You should be very proud

515
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: of that. And then two it was a fucking fish

516
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 3: out of water moment for you. It's like, Okay, I

517
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: did this because I felt I had to. Now we're

518
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: on set, Don Cheato's telling me about the things that

519
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: I told him.

520
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 4: The character that he's playing the real So it's like

521
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: I met the real JD. He's quoting the real j

522
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: back to me and his lines. I'm like, what the fuck?

523
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: This is like crazy.

524
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 3: And that's the genius of Don Cheato because unlike some

525
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: of the other actors, he literally became j D.

526
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: And because Chicken.

527
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: Man as Red in your early meetings with him, like

528
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: Kevin had to bring Chicken Man to life, because you

529
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: didn't get Chicken Man, you got Red. But this is

530
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 3: the genius of these people that we're dealing with. And

531
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 3: that's why when I look at this story man, and

532
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: I look at all these integral moments that we're now

533
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 3: sharing with the Fight Night Nation people that have followed

534
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,680

535
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: Because this is a limited deaf serious film.

536
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: It's a testimony of staying down and fucking finishing. We
