So the 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: director Blizz I don't know he did. Beyonces. Remember when 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: she was doing like the Lion King where she was 20 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: Liken Jay. They was like. 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 4: Live action line King. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember this video she had. It was like 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: a twenty minute video where she was like and cars 24 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: and on the beach running and Jay had these like 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: suits and stuff whatever. It was like very beautifully. Yeah, yeah, 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: all of that. Yeah, yeah, he directed all of that, 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: and so for him to take that vision then apply 28 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: it to this movie, it's like bananas. Plus it's a 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: different spin on it. It's a whole different spin on 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: a color purple. So it's gonna be way different than 31 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: than the other one. But still in it's on, right, 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: you know, holding up to what it is. But I 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: ain't really big on remakes neither like that. But but 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 2: this one, y'all, it's crazy because it's a different perspective now. 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: That I was saying the twenty twenty three you can't 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 4: do color purple. 37 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: You have to have to be woken. Yeah, yeah, so much. Yeah. Yeah, 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: it's a whole different, whole different look on it, a 39 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: whole different spin on it. 40 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: But you know, some of the remakes, like I didn't 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: like Coming to America too, right, I just the first 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: one was is classic. 43 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: I don't think you touched that. Yeah, I didn't like. 44 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: There was another remake that they did, but people told 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: me white Man can't Jump. I didn't want to go 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: see that, but people telling me it's really really good, 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: so I guess it can if they come from a 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: different perspective. A New way House Party was another one 49 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: I didn't like. 50 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: I thought I didn't. I don't really like that one. 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: But when they do it from a different perspective or shot, well, 52 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a problem. 53 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I play a Fonso, so I play Seely's father. 54 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: That's when I take you can't have you can't have 55 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: I can't remember the girl, you can't have her, but 56 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 4: you can have. 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I played him. They kept that line 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: in there. No, no, it's it's different. Yeah, but you 59 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: know you still you still get it, you know, it's 60 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: just still he's still that dude got yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 61 00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: I still call it ugly and woke away just because 62 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 2: of this new era. I mean, yo, yeah I do. 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: I do hate it definitely. That's why I don't understand 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: why people who don't like that kind of stuff, Like 65 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: why do you even come to the shows? You're messing 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: it up for the people that really pay to come 67 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: see and hear bullshit, you know what I mean? Like, 68 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: why would you come in there with your beliefs and 69 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: feelings about something that I thought of And you ain't 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: in my world, You ain't in my tax bracket, you 71 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: ain't around the people I'm around.

And he does that like he will 219 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 3: tell the joke and if and it's so funny because 220 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: he wants it not to work, but it does.

Like and then he said, he said, 223 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: when you really throw one work and it was like 224 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: a couple of chuckles and he was like, no, if 225 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: it don't work, don't don't force to laugh, Like, no, 226 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: you don't have to force to laugh. That was so 227 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: funny just seeing him doing that and then seeing it 228 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: done so long ago when I first started watching comedy. 229 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: It's crazy he still does it and it's still like 230 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: the first time. 231 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. This is you know, it's 232 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: it's because people tend to forget it's about laughing. You 233 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 2: think how you laugh, it's about you laughing, you know 234 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: what I mean. I'm not here to have you laugh 235 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: a particular way. It's like you're laughing if you laugh 236 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: at anything I do, it's funny, but I think it's 237 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: funny not being funny. So I make sure I do 238 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: a joke that does not work, and so people would 239 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: laugh at it. And it's funny to me to hear 240 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: people laugh at it, and then when they do laugh 241 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: at it, it's just like, I really know that I 242 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: got that audience. But when they don't laugh, what did you. 243 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: First realize you was funny? Like I'm talking about forget comedy. 244 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: I'm talking about back in the. 245 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: Day I never did.

Think 337 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: about it. 338 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: We don't really see him see digital clocks round clock even. 339 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: I take this step further. I was talking to somebody 340 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: that was late the other day and he was like, 341 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: my phone died, and what you don't think about? You know, 342 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: everything is connected to electricity back in the day. I 343 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: don't know, but my dad used to have a wind 344 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: up clock so no matter what. 345 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: It would always go off. 346 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: He never would have to worry about being late electricity 347 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: went out or forget to save it. So he was like, 348 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: these kids know nothing about that. So if the phone 349 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: does they they don't. 350 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 2: They have no idea. They was asking them like they 351 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: was asking them. They was on that.
