Speaker 1: show for you tonight. Brazil is in a love triangle,

Speaker 1: are about to get laid. Plus our guests tonight from
Speaker 1: the legendary Wu Tang Clan. Method Man is joining us
Speaker 1: on the show talking about a brand new movie. So
Speaker 1: let's through the people. Let's sound straight into today's headlines. Wow,
Speaker 1: guys are amazing. I feel like we've already met all. Right,
Speaker 1: Before we get into the big stories, let's catch up
Speaker 1: on a few other things going on in the world.
Speaker 1: We start off like Pele in Brazil. The South American
Speaker 1: nation held its presidential election last night, and because neither
Speaker 1: of the top choice has got a majority. They are
Speaker 1: now going to be having a runoff election at the
Speaker 1: end of October. Yeah, and then if it's still tied
Speaker 1: after the runoff, then I assume they go into penalty kicks.
Speaker 1: And now the international news, the African nation of Bikina
Speaker 1: Faso has had another shake up in its government because
Speaker 1: the military leader who took power in a coup earlier
Speaker 1: this year has now himself been ousted in a second coup.
Speaker 1: And I guess he can't complain, right, what is he
Speaker 1: gonna say? What gave you the idea that you could
Speaker 1: just oh, yeah, but now but now the new guys. Now,
Speaker 1: now the new guy has to be like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: think we can all agree that this is the exact
Speaker 1: right number of coups. Two feels like the right vibe,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So my thoughts obviously with
Speaker 1: the people of a King of Fossil, but also with
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Yeah, must hurt him especially bad to see
Speaker 1: two cups in a row carried out properly. Goes up
Speaker 1: back the end of the US. In some legal news,
Speaker 1: California has officially announced that jaywalking is now no longer
Speaker 1: a crime. Yeah, so congratulations, to the Californians were like
Speaker 1: walking places. This is great news for the six of you.
Speaker 1: And when you do cross the road, remember to watch. However,
Speaker 1: for that bush, well, at least you didn't die committing
Speaker 1: a crime. All right, Let's move on to some of
Speaker 1: the biggest stories of the day, starting with the global economy.
Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you this, but right now
Speaker 1: the entire world is teetering on the brink of recession.
Speaker 1: Don't don't even move, you might tip it over. And
Speaker 1: if you think things are bad for real money, things
Speaker 1: are even worse for fake money, which is why the
Speaker 1: n f T market has fallen from its peak last January,
Speaker 1: which I'm shocked. Who would have thought paying fifty grand
Speaker 1: for a picture of a digital monkey was a bad
Speaker 1: financial move. It's just it's just so hard to predict
Speaker 1: this stuff. But yeah, n f t s have collapsed,
Speaker 1: and now all the board apes have been released back
Speaker 1: into the wild. I ran over one of my car
Speaker 1: the other day. It was so tragic. They just are
Speaker 1: not equipped to be out there in the streets. And
Speaker 1: it's not just the n f T s. Cryptocurrencies are
Speaker 1: plunging in value, all of them, Bitcoin, Ethereum, those point tether,
Speaker 1: even trev butt Coin, which I made up just now.
Speaker 1: I made it up in this moment, but he's already
Speaker 1: lost two billion dollars. Ships, wild guys. Now, as the
Speaker 1: crypto bubble pops, some major names are now getting in
Speaker 1: trouble for how they convinced their fans to invest in crypto.
Speaker 1: Reality star Kim Kardashian has been charged by the Securities
Speaker 1: and Exchange Commission the SEC, for the way that she
Speaker 1: promoted a cryptocurrency asset on Instagram. She has settled this
Speaker 1: charge with the SEC. The SEC says that she unlawfully
Speaker 1: used her Instagram account to promote a cryptocurrency token and
Speaker 1: did not disclose to her many many followers that she
Speaker 1: was being paid two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: do that. The SEC going out there and saying, hey,
Speaker 1: just because as a celebrity or influencer says something about
Speaker 1: a potential financial product, don't necessarily believe it. Yeah, thank you, SEC.
Speaker 1: You cannot just trust anything a celebrity cells I learned
Speaker 1: this the hard way as the owner of Queen Elizabeth's
Speaker 1: penis and lodgement spray. It's more of a miss than
Speaker 1: a spray queen rest in peace. But still, by the way,
Speaker 1: why do I feel like this whole investigation might have
Speaker 1: been started because someone at the SEC was caught looking
Speaker 1: at Kim's Instagram. It's such a unique case. Someone was like,
Speaker 1: someone was like, oh no, boss, this is not what
Speaker 1: it looks like. I'm doing an investigation. I wasn't looking
Speaker 1: at a vracation photos crypto. In case you're wondering, By
Speaker 1: the way, Kim Kardashian has agreed to pay the SEC
Speaker 1: a fine of one point three million dollars, which is
Speaker 1: five times when she got paid for the ad. And
Speaker 1: I mean, now the question is how she gonna make
Speaker 1: up that loss. Well, I'll tell you how with trip
Speaker 1: butt coin. Trip butt coin. I know it seems shady,
Speaker 1: but coin. Oh. Speaking of scandals, recently, the world of
Speaker 1: alternative sports has been rocked by some of the craziest
Speaker 1: cheating allegations you have ever heard. And when I say
Speaker 1: alternative sports, I mean it's you might remember this, but
Speaker 1: a chess champ was accused of using anal beads to
Speaker 1: pick the best moves right. Recently, a poka star has
Speaker 1: just been accused of using some kind of vibrata to
Speaker 1: win bigans in games. And now and maybe my favorite
Speaker 1: story of all time, accusations of cheating have rocked the
Speaker 1: world of competitive fishing. Let's get to a big story
Speaker 1: now in the fishing community, two fishermen are accused of
Speaker 1: adding weights to their fish to win a popular tournament.
Speaker 1: So here's what went down. People in the crowd suspected
Speaker 1: foul play and they prompted the fish to then be
Speaker 1: inspected when the director found multiple lead weight stuffed inside them.
Speaker 1: Who's got damn those dudes of piste you're called the cops?
Speaker 1: Call them child of telling the fish called the cups
Speaker 1: right now, I haven't seen white dudes. This mat about
Speaker 1: fish since the Disney relauns the Little Mermaid thing, why
Speaker 1: call the con But yeah, it turns out apparently two
Speaker 1: fishermen allegedly stuffed the fish that they caught with lead
Speaker 1: weights to make the fish way more because apparently the
Speaker 1: heavier the fish, the more prize money you can win.
Speaker 1: And in this case, the prize was twenty nine dollars,
Speaker 1: which is so much money, you realis At Long John
Speaker 1: Silvers you can get a fish with two sides and
Speaker 1: a drink for uh, and then you can use the
Speaker 1: rest of your dollars to buy truff butt coin, truff
Speaker 1: bud coin, the coin that always comes up tails. You know,
Speaker 1: if I'm honest, I almost admire the simplicity of the scandal.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this, you know, because in other sportsmen
Speaker 1: people cheat. It's like, oh, untraceable performance enhancing drugs and
Speaker 1: h g H and the hidden surveillance cameras and secretly
Speaker 1: hollowed out pieces off. Yeah, these guys are just like,
Speaker 1: so what if we put some heavy stuff in the fish?
Speaker 1: I understand this. I am sad though, about the scandal,
Speaker 1: because winning at old costs isn't what fishing is about,
Speaker 1: all right, Fishing, it's about finding Nemo and eating him
Speaker 1: before his dad can get him back. I like that
Speaker 1: just said for not a real Nemo. All right. Finally,
Speaker 1: let's catch up on the latest updates from the war
Speaker 1: in Ukraine in our ongoing segments Glad Gone Mad. As
Speaker 1: we all know, seven months ago, Russia's most famous bowlding
Speaker 1: troll invaded his neighboring country, and although so far he's
Speaker 1: only been able to capture about fift of Ukraine, last
Speaker 1: weekend he announced no basis. President Putin has announced the
Speaker 1: annexation of four regions of Ukraine that are partially controlled
Speaker 1: by Russian forces. It is the biggest seizure of territory
Speaker 1: in Europe since the Second World War. Russian President Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin proclaiming victory will be ours after formally announcing the
Speaker 1: illegal annexation of of Ukraine, joining hands with the leaders
Speaker 1: of four Russian occupied regions, chanting Russia. In a fiery speech,
Speaker 1: Putin warning he'll do everything possible to defend the Ukrainian
Speaker 1: territory as his own. That territory of Vladimir Putin insists
Speaker 1: is now and forever will be Russian. I want the
Speaker 1: key of authorities and their real masters in the West
Speaker 1: to hear me so that they remember this forever. People
Speaker 1: in new hands and dons her Song and Zapariga are
Speaker 1: becoming our citizens forever. God tem That's the scariest beginning
Speaker 1: to a relationship I've ever heard. We're together forever. Here
Speaker 1: I made. You will be a fifth Nicholas, you will
Speaker 1: wear it forever. When we see each other, we will
Speaker 1: put heads together and say besties forever. This is yet
Speaker 1: another escalation in the war people. Putin has declared that
Speaker 1: this territory is his. Yeah, he invaded, he held a
Speaker 1: sham election, and then he celebrated by hosting a literal
Speaker 1: jerk circle. And by the way, by the way, can
Speaker 1: I just say props to whichever cameraman chose to show
Speaker 1: the angle that shows Putin as short as he actually is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because everyone's like, how tory, that's how he That's yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what happens. There's your short king. Whoever, whoever
Speaker 1: that cameraman was, you better have someone taste your food
Speaker 1: for the next few months. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: it was big day. Wasn't just about him imposing Russia's
Speaker 1: will on other countries. No, he also found a moment
Speaker 1: to deliver a furious rant about how America does it too.
Speaker 1: Instead of democracy, there the suppression and exploitation instead of freedom,
Speaker 1: enslavement and violence. America is the only country in the
Speaker 1: world that has used nuclear weapons twice when they destroyed
Speaker 1: the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the way,
Speaker 1: they set a precedent with that and earlier launching a
Speaker 1: tirade against the US and its allies, saying Western nations
Speaker 1: are moving towards open Satanism. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa
Speaker 1: Americanism moving towards Satanism. Relax. Guy walked into one walmart
Speaker 1: during Halloween suddenly thinks everyone here worships the devil. I
Speaker 1: can't wait till he comes back. During Valentine's Day, they
Speaker 1: have naked baby shooting people to force them in love.
Speaker 1: Reminds me of my wedding day. Will be honest, But
Speaker 1: that wasn't even close to being the most interesting part
Speaker 1: of his speech, because what Prutent basically spends a lot
Speaker 1: of time saying is that people shouldn't complain about what
Speaker 1: he's doing because the West has also done bad things
Speaker 1: in the past, you know, and that's disingenuous. You know.
Speaker 1: It's sort of sort of like how if you complain
Speaker 1: about the leg groom on Spirit airlines, they shut you
Speaker 1: up by showing you pictures of other airlines that have crashed.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just like, oh, I'm sorry, you're not comfortable,
Speaker 1: but you know what you are alive now, sit your
Speaker 1: ass down and shut up. By the way, the peanuts
Speaker 1: are twenty dollars. And here's the weird thing. Putin isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily wrong. Astrix Astrix Astrix astricx aestrix. The West has
Speaker 1: created the system where people get trapped in perpetual debts
Speaker 1: and this truth. Certain countries don't participate in the global order.
Speaker 1: They get sabotaged into bending the knee. But that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that he's right for what he's doing. You know.
Speaker 1: This is the thing that that sucks about bad guys.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes they'll use the truth to justify their evil actions
Speaker 1: because what part of what he's saying is true? It's
Speaker 1: like what it's Putin who's saying it's I hate it?
Speaker 1: What did that happened? Bagass? Is like the real thing? Like, like,
Speaker 1: do I agree that the human population is over consuming
Speaker 1: and slowly killing the earth? Yes, I just wish that
Speaker 1: Fanos wasn't the one that's at it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And maybe this is what leaders in the
Speaker 1: West needs to understand. If they don't practice the ideals
Speaker 1: that they so often preach, madman like Putin will exploit
Speaker 1: that hypocrisy to justify the evil that he does in
Speaker 1: his name. All right, that's it for the headlines, But
Speaker 1: before we go, let's check it on the traffic with
Speaker 1: our very own right with Junior. Everybody, Well, you need
Speaker 1: to traffic. You're going somewhere. No, No, Roy, not like
Speaker 1: anytime soon, right like this is just for the people
Speaker 1: at home right now. I'm still gonna be here for
Speaker 1: a significant while. I'll be honest, man, I'm scared to
Speaker 1: talk to you right now because last time you and
Speaker 1: I had a conversation, you decided to leave the show.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't he be talking to you. You're lible to
Speaker 1: leave during the next commercial break. We're probably talking to
Speaker 1: too much right now. No, No, that's not true, Roy,
Speaker 1: that's not true. And then when you bring my name
Speaker 1: into it, when you quit, you don't lead a show,
Speaker 1: lead a show, but you started, You started the ship
Speaker 1: last you still I was talking to Roy with you,
Speaker 1: you could have just said, bitch, I'm gone. That's all
Speaker 1: you had to say was I'm gonna bitch on out,
Speaker 1: and you didn't have to drag my name into it.
Speaker 1: Not everybody on my Twitter yelling at me thinking that
Speaker 1: it's my fault that you decided to leave the show
Speaker 1: and it's not my fault, when the truth didn't matter.
Speaker 1: You was out the night before we're doing the Peter
Speaker 1: and you was out there in the streets with that singing, Roy, Roy,
Speaker 1: that that is not how it happens. That is not
Speaker 1: who do not gonna leave? Anything you read in the tabloids, Roy,
Speaker 1: don't don't leave. You came in here and then you
Speaker 1: set me up. You talk to me because you knew
Speaker 1: you was gonna step down after you had the conversation
Speaker 1: with me, step down from the show. Didn't tell no,
Speaker 1: if I didn't tell Ronnie why I was stand about.
Speaker 1: Just look what you did to Runne. Look at Rond's
Speaker 1: he didn't know. Why don't you know? I've never seen
Speaker 1: an Asian disconfused in my life. Running is your friend.
Speaker 1: You could at least turn to running. You couldn't turn
Speaker 1: to running and said, Ronnie, you need to get the
Speaker 1: scott of here. Some ship about to go down. But
Speaker 1: you didn't do that. That you you didn't do that.
Speaker 1: See that that's said I understand Trump. Now, we can't
Speaker 1: be giving these immigrants these jobs because these immigrants you
Speaker 1: come over and you don't treat the job right. Roy.
Speaker 1: We we had, we had a wonderful seven years together.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with you. You inspired me.
Speaker 1: If anything it was I was, it was I was
Speaker 1: thanking you in a way. That's what's up? You're just
Speaker 1: thinking me, you're just gonna come over in me. I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna just do traffic. I don't do traffic today.
Speaker 1: What you want? What do you want? You want? You
Speaker 1: wanna talk about Burkina fasso? If anything, if anything, you
Speaker 1: can know what the upside to a coup is this
Speaker 1: like say what you want by the dictator, but at
Speaker 1: least stay, stay until somebody forces them out. They don't
Speaker 1: quit on their friends and then throw their friend under
Speaker 1: the unders. I can throw you under the bus, Roy,
Speaker 1: And I feel like, right now you're being a little dramatic.
Speaker 1: We can we can we just talk about the traffic
Speaker 1: like it's the talk about track. Let's you know, speaking
Speaker 1: of let's about jay walking. Thank you, thank you? J
Speaker 1: walking legal Now that's what they're saying. They say, it's legal,
Speaker 1: now legal instead of doing the one thing that everybody
Speaker 1: should expect, you, dude, you can just up and turn
Speaker 1: left and just ruin the flow of everybody else's life
Speaker 1: without any consideration. It is perfectly legal. Did you go
Speaker 1: look at me? I'm walking around up. Everybody else is trafted. Roy. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you feel like I said you were
Speaker 1: responsible for me leaving the show. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: also sorry that people are blaming you on social media because, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you did nothing wrong, my friend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh you did what inspire me to leave the show.
Speaker 1: So in that spirit, my friend, can you please just
Speaker 1: do the traffic may do your own damn traffic man,
Speaker 1: Imbut well, thank you so much for that. What Reginia?
Speaker 1: All right? When we come back, we're gonna take a
Speaker 1: look at the hardest panting app. Keep having a harder back.
Speaker 1: We don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: The second Moment, The second Moment to talk about dating apps,
Speaker 1: the quickest and most convenient way to meet a few
Speaker 1: dozen psychopaths. These days, practically every single person in the
Speaker 1: world is on an app like Tinder or Bumble, but
Speaker 1: apparently not everyone feels like those apps are serving their needs.
Speaker 1: We're back with some headlines calling all conservatives. A new
Speaker 1: dating app called The Right Stuff just might give you
Speaker 1: a chance to meet your true match. It was funded
Speaker 1: by Peter Tale, but founded by former officials in the
Speaker 1: Trump administration who had a hard time finding like minded
Speaker 1: people to date on the existing dating apps that often
Speaker 1: made them feel and welcome. But yeah, some of my
Speaker 1: friends would try to use the apps THETA. The minute
Speaker 1: they became they became known that they were working for Trump,
Speaker 1: the date immediately ended. That happened several times and my
Speaker 1: friends really, yeah, girls will just get up and leave
Speaker 1: or you know, abruptly try to end the date. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: to be fair, to be fair, you can't assume these
Speaker 1: women left the date because of your politics. You can
Speaker 1: use you that. I mean, let's be honest. Trump stuff
Speaker 1: has got fired like every week, right, every single week
Speaker 1: they were getting fired. Maybe they just didn't want to
Speaker 1: date someone who was about to be broke. You don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like, where do you work? I work for Trump?
Speaker 1: Oh not for long? And also I call bullshit on
Speaker 1: this whole story. When does anyone go on a date
Speaker 1: and not know what the person does ahead of time?
Speaker 1: It's two We all have the internet. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. By the time you get to the restaurant,
Speaker 1: you know their job, their friends, their dating history. If
Speaker 1: they've taken a picture on a beach after your two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, you've seen it. Right. Either way, none
Speaker 1: of this will be an issue anymore thanks to the
Speaker 1: right stuff. And you're dating app just for conservatives that
Speaker 1: launched over the weekend, and once people started signing up,
Speaker 1: it was immediately clear that this isn't like other dating
Speaker 1: apps because there are prompts for things like favorite Bible
Speaker 1: verse that's fine, favorite conservative pundits, and January six was blank. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so good luck out the all your conservatives hoping to
Speaker 1: match with that special FBI agent monitoring the site. And
Speaker 1: I love There's nothing wrong with having a conservative dating side,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong at all. There are plenty of apps where
Speaker 1: you can meet people with like the same religious beliefs,
Speaker 1: apps where you can meet fellow farmers. There's even an
Speaker 1: app where you can connect with other die hard Star
Speaker 1: Trek fans, which I think is super cool. It's great
Speaker 1: being able to avoid that awkward conversation about still being
Speaker 1: a virgin, because now you can just assume, you know,
Speaker 1: there's like you. You yeah, but if you ask me,
Speaker 1: you asked me. These apps are just one more way
Speaker 1: that people are retreating further and further into their own
Speaker 1: little bubbles when you spend all your time with other
Speaker 1: people who are just like you, and in my opinion,
Speaker 1: that's a little sad, which is why I'm glad the
Speaker 1: thanks to the Daily Show, there is another new dating
Speaker 1: app that's coming out soon that takes a much different approach.
Speaker 1: Are you tired of going on dates with someone who's
Speaker 1: just like you so you also support gun control? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Bull ring? Why not try a dating app that's guaranteed
Speaker 1: to create a spark introducing hate and hate. We'll help
Speaker 1: you find someone you absolutely despise so you can bang
Speaker 1: out your differences. That's why to me, January six, upon
Speaker 1: the worst days in American history. Really, I was there
Speaker 1: on January six. I thought it was a blast. People
Speaker 1: like you make me sick. People like you make me sick.
Speaker 1: Places from with America more divided than ever, hate has
Speaker 1: become the defining emotion of our times, and hate is
Speaker 1: here to make the most of it. Here's how it works.
Speaker 1: When you sign up, you fill out a detailed survey
Speaker 1: about your most impassioned political beliefs. Then Hate will use
Speaker 1: a proprietary algorithm to find someone who thinks those beliefs
Speaker 1: ain't ship. Because you can't see red or blue when
Speaker 1: the lights are outside, that's gonna affect that peppah b.
Speaker 1: There's like a puppy hoping America comes together, alright, sat
Speaker 1: you because when we come back, they want to know
Speaker 1: only Method Matters will join me right here on the show,
Speaker 1: So don't go old. He show, I guess like. It's
Speaker 1: a Grammy Award winning rapper and original member of the
Speaker 1: Wuchang Plan. He's also an act and you know him
Speaker 1: from shows like PowerBook to Ghosts. He's here to talk
Speaker 1: about his latest film, on The Come Up, which is
Speaker 1: streaming now on Paramount Plus. Please welcome clip method Man Smith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mr Mesta. Method made the Day Show? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: The Daily Show made it. Now good to have your
Speaker 1: in person. Last time we spoke was virtual. Now you're
Speaker 1: here in the flesh. I've always wondered this. There are
Speaker 1: a few human beings who have had careers as long
Speaker 1: and as successful as yours, but also careers that have spanned,
Speaker 1: you know, different worlds. Some people know you from the
Speaker 1: Wu Tang clan. Some people know you from Great Man
Speaker 1: and Method Man right right. Some people know you from
Speaker 1: How High. Some people know you from the Wire. Some
Speaker 1: people are just like he's an Instagram sex man, Like
Speaker 1: you're you're sex symbol and Instagram and on top of that,
Speaker 1: you're making movies like, does it ever dawn on you
Speaker 1: how much you've done, how much you are doing, how
Speaker 1: how amazing your journey has been. When I step out
Speaker 1: my door. Yeah, I love that. It's pretty cool. Um.
Speaker 1: I wish these people could tell my kids this, because
Speaker 1: I don't know if they know how cool their dad is,
Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's pretty cool, you know, to
Speaker 1: have a career this long and still be relevant and
Speaker 1: have options, it's great. And to still be enjoying it.
Speaker 1: That's what I see in your eyes. You enjoy every
Speaker 1: single moment. You know. You always hear these stories of
Speaker 1: musicians moving into film and they try it out, but
Speaker 1: you always hear these stories about how they divas, they
Speaker 1: used to being rock stars. When they get on film,
Speaker 1: they want the same treatment. Everything I've heard about you
Speaker 1: from everyone. It's almost like they know you're behind the
Speaker 1: corner even when you're not. Is positive every single thing
Speaker 1: they go. This man is professional, he loves it, he's courteous,
Speaker 1: he knows all of his lines, he's prepared. He is
Speaker 1: the epitome of what people want Hollywood to be. Congratulations
Speaker 1: on that, well, I think I think the uh the
Speaker 1: biggest problem with some musicians are certain artists who try
Speaker 1: to branch into acting is they say things like I'll
Speaker 1: try it for a minute. You know, this is something
Speaker 1: a lot of actors study for years. There are actors
Speaker 1: out there right now that you guys probably haven't even
Speaker 1: heard of, that are cutting their teeth every day, every month,
Speaker 1: every year, still working the nine to five job, but
Speaker 1: making those auditions. You know, So who am I to
Speaker 1: cut the line and not do the work? You know?
Speaker 1: So you film new film that's coming out on Paramount
Speaker 1: Plus is it's an it's amazing story. We saw the
Speaker 1: clip and I love how much this film ties into
Speaker 1: your life because this this movie is a story of
Speaker 1: a talented young woman was trying to get into the
Speaker 1: rap game, and your character plays a pivotal role in
Speaker 1: shaping her world. I would love to know when when
Speaker 1: you first read the script and when you first heard
Speaker 1: about the story, and even when you were making it, like,
Speaker 1: were there parts of the journey that reminded you of
Speaker 1: your assent? Interrupt? Absolutely, That's why the character I played
Speaker 1: its name supreme. That's why I wanted to play him
Speaker 1: as honest as possible. I mean, of course it would
Speaker 1: be a parent that he would he would supposedly be
Speaker 1: the villain in a story like this. You know, because artists,
Speaker 1: the one thing that we like to hold on too
Speaker 1: when we do our art is our integrity and compromises
Speaker 1: out of the question if you're a true artist, and
Speaker 1: Supreme comes across as someone that tells you straight up
Speaker 1: and down, yes you can still be an artist, but
Speaker 1: you can compromise as well, so we can get this money,
Speaker 1: which is basically what it is at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, So we can get a better life, get
Speaker 1: your mother a better life. This, that, and the third
Speaker 1: and it's not exactly dangling a carrot in front of her,
Speaker 1: is just saying I can make you better than what
Speaker 1: you are right or wrong. You you had periods like
Speaker 1: that in your life. I'm assuming you had periods where
Speaker 1: you could have chosen a fork in the world. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, like the Wu Tang clan wasn't exactly the
Speaker 1: most like accepted in terms of commercial Now you now
Speaker 1: you go every people who chang, who chang, and people
Speaker 1: have grown up with the white people love us exactly
Speaker 1: said you said, But but but I wonder how you
Speaker 1: maintain that integraty even when when when you you know
Speaker 1: when it was written mess like, how did you maintain that?
Speaker 1: How did you not go I will forego what I
Speaker 1: want to do creatively to maybe make more money or
Speaker 1: become more famous. Why did you not do that? Well?
Speaker 1: I have a lot of people around me that let
Speaker 1: me know when I'm full of ship, and uh, it
Speaker 1: keeps me pretty grounded, because you can smell it when
Speaker 1: you're grounded, you know, um, and you know where I'm from.
Speaker 1: Every opportunity that comes along is is something like a blessing,
Speaker 1: you know. And like I said, to be doing it
Speaker 1: this long and for people to still, you know, trust
Speaker 1: me enough to work with me, it's just great. And uh,
Speaker 1: the grounded part is I was born that way. I'm
Speaker 1: a humble person at heart. And I thank you. I
Speaker 1: like how it's not like record. I don't interrupt you,
Speaker 1: and I really know in family and friends as much
Speaker 1: as possible. Yeah, and it shows, It really does show.
Speaker 1: And I felt it even in in this film, because
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen films that talk about a career,
Speaker 1: we see films that talk about what happens in life
Speaker 1: in the streets and hip hop, whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: But what I loved about this film is how it
Speaker 1: came together how you portrayed because you say villain, but
Speaker 1: really it's it's villain is always from a certain perspective, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know. And when I watch you on on screen,
Speaker 1: I go, I don't like what you did, but I
Speaker 1: understand why you're doing. I don't know how I feel
Speaker 1: about you. You play this character with nuance. I also
Speaker 1: have to give credit to the director directed this character
Speaker 1: with with nuance. This is amazing for I mean, like
Speaker 1: so not. Lathan is a gem. You know, she's a legend.
Speaker 1: She hasn't gotten her do in so many ways, and
Speaker 1: here she is directing for the very first time, and
Speaker 1: it's amazing. How did that feel for you? Man? As
Speaker 1: soon as I heard that she was the director, I
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta support my sister. Let's go, you know.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and uh, she did a fabulous job. You know,
Speaker 1: she's not heavy handed when it comes to the director.
Speaker 1: This is the the result of having someone who was
Speaker 1: an actor as opposed to you know, just camera work.
Speaker 1: So she saw it from both angles and she walked
Speaker 1: us through it a lot. I mean, we were prepared
Speaker 1: to the point of being so prepared that our lead actress,
Speaker 1: Jamilac Gray, who did a great job. Um, she had
Speaker 1: very little time to film the battle because you know
Speaker 1: how budgets are and things of that nature. And Jamilla
Speaker 1: was on it. And this is a testament to Snia's
Speaker 1: work ethic and like I said, she had a vision
Speaker 1: and us as actors took on the roles of trying
Speaker 1: to make that vision come to life as well as
Speaker 1: Angie's book, Angie Thomas, Yes, what can I just say,
Speaker 1: first of all, as I always say to congratulations, thank
Speaker 1: you for being the epicure me of what I would
Speaker 1: hope to even try to be in life with somebody
Speaker 1: who enjoys what they do, somebody who crushes it in
Speaker 1: everything that they do. I appreciate you so much. You know,
