<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Okay, absolutely, yeah yeah, new color purple, Average Joe.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>We just talked about that yesterday. We were talking about

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>they just released the trailer and what's your thoughts on

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the movie, because we were like, color Purple? Is that

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a movie that.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>You do over hard to remake? Classics? Man? So the

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>director Blizz I don't know he did. Beyonces. Remember when

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 2>she was doing like the Lion King where she was

0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Liken Jay. They was like.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 4>Live action line King.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but remember this video she had. It was like

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>a twenty minute video where she was like and cars

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and on the beach running and Jay had these like

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>suits and stuff whatever. It was like very beautifully. Yeah, yeah,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>all of that. Yeah, yeah, he directed all of that,

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>and so for him to take that vision then apply

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 2>it to this movie, it's like bananas. Plus it's a

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>different spin on it. It's a whole different spin on

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 2>a color purple. So it's gonna be way different than

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>than the other one. But still in it's on, right,

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, holding up to what it is. But I

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>ain't really big on remakes neither like that. But but

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 2>this one, y'all, it's crazy because it's a different perspective now.

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 4>That I was saying the twenty twenty three you can't

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>do color purple.

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>You have to have to be woken. Yeah, yeah, so much. Yeah. Yeah,

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a whole different, whole different look on it, a

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>whole different spin on it.

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, some of the remakes, like I didn't

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like Coming to America too, right, I just the first

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>one was is classic.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you touched that. Yeah, I didn't like.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>There was another remake that they did, but people told

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>me white Man can't Jump. I didn't want to go

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>see that, but people telling me it's really really good,

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>so I guess it can if they come from a

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>different perspective. A New way House Party was another one

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like.

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought I didn't. I don't really like that one.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But when they do it from a different perspective or shot, well,

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's a problem.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I play a Fonso, so I play Seely's father.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 4>That's when I take you can't have you can't have

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 4>I can't remember the girl, you can't have her, but

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 4>you can have.

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I played him. They kept that line

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>in there. No, no, it's it's different. Yeah, but you

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>know you still you still get it, you know, it's

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>just still he's still that dude got yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:53.960 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I still call it ugly and woke away just because

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 2>of this new era. I mean, yo, yeah I do.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I do hate it definitely. That's why I don't understand

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>why people who don't like that kind of stuff, Like

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>why do you even come to the shows? You're messing

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>it up for the people that really pay to come

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>see and hear bullshit, you know what I mean? Like,

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 2>why would you come in there with your beliefs and

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 2>feelings about something that I thought of And you ain't

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>in my world, You ain't in my tax bracket, you

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>ain't around the people I'm around. You ain't not about

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>my culture, but you come over here and try to

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>tell me what I need to be saying and doing.

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>It don't even make sense. So yeah, I hate that

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that we have to kind of conform to that. And

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I heard somebody say that in the interview that we

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>don't if and it's not a problem, And it is

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>a problem, I think honestly. You got Lenny, Bruce and

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Richard and all these people stood up for us to

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>be able to say whatever we want to say, and

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>now we can't. It's like it's crazy to take away

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>from the whole thing. It's like, now you go to

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>comedy shows and they tell you what they think you

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>want to hear in order to be safe, you know

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. But there's certain comics that are still

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>out on the front line that get loose, you know,

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>like Dave just just don't give a fuck about nothing,

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>you know. So you've got great comics that's still out

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>here fighting for that that that voice that we all

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.479
<v Speaker 2>have and that people want to hear, except for certain

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>people that don't.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 4>So, and your circumstance is unique because you you definitely

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>edgy on stage, but then you got all the corporate

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 4>shit going on. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah yeah I can't Yeah,

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 4>I can't say exactly what I want to say.

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what that that's my whole life, sitting

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>back trying to figure out another way. That's what. That's

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>all I do. I'd be like, how can I say

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>this another way and still be able to say it?

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you to face an old Spice bro

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>crazy Like that's why if you really think about it,

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it's really wild.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>It's likely the.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Two people Dan Cole, the dude who used to ride

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 4>the horseback.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, it's crazy right yeah.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't even even when they came to me about it, and.

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, wow, they can't even say, hey,

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>we want you to do this old Spice commercially, the

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 1>fake what was your thought?

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 2>So at first they came to me and they was like,

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I guess they'd seen me do all these different kind

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of like quirky like characters like on Anti Tribeca and

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Conan and Blackish, and I was doing all these like

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>trippy characters, and I guess they was like, yo, it

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 2>made sense where it was like yo, you come in

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and Yo we can all we can rock and I

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>was like yeah, I was like, yeah, I can do that.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>So they flew me to Portugal, man, and I shot

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>all of this basically how old spikes get down, you

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, like really wild in the woods

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and beard grow and throwing trees and you know, I

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>did all of that, and then I came back to

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the US and there's like didn't want to use none

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>all of that and then use none of it. And

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>then they came to me about something else. And then

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 2>me and I, me and this other guy were just

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>sitting I mean this other guy he was que he

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>was writing this whole new premise. And then when they

<v Speaker 2>came to me about it, and I was like, man,

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.279

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>like I was. I was giving it and then it'd

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 2>be like a couple of chuckles, a couple of coughs,

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.599
<v Speaker 2>and then I just keep going, like just going on

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to the next topic or whatever. But yeah, yeah, it wasn't.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.960

<v Speaker 2>I'm here for. That's standing up, muscled on kicking.

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 4>When you see people like ignoring you because you know

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.559

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:28.560

<v Speaker 2>left some shows. Yeah, I try it and I keep going.

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>If it ain't working, I just know that I ain't

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>for them, and I go, I'm Trevor good Night. I

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>leave a whole nother name. I'm Shun piece out Nashville Sunky.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, you gotta be one of the most jack

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 4>comedian is too, because sometimes I'll come across a funny meme.

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I can just be words and I'll.

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Repost it and then everybody be like that's on.

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, I you know you try to be different

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and just think outside the box all the time and

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>just try to make a career out of that, and

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>just try to always go left and you know, think

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>outside the box, and you know, just keep it as

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>as as real as possible. You know, like when I'm

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>on stage and I read off my paper, like a

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of those jokes I written and used, but I

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>always do one joke that that isn't that I've never

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>done before because I wanted not to work because it's funny,

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>not being funny in a sense. I think I made

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 2>a craft out of that. Just you ever watch somebody bomb?

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I love it? Yeah, you love it? Don't you tell

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 2>me the time?

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Have you see me laughing hard somebody bombing somebody?

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm really engaged? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Like that too, like hilarious with that. I want to

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 3>go see him one time. I know. This is his

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 3>interview in not Mine but I want to go see

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 3>him in LA and that's his first time I seen

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 3>him in person. And he does that like he will

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 3>tell the joke and if and it's so funny because

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 3>he wants it not to work, but it does. And

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 3>it's like, yo, stop trying to not be funny, like

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 3>you're just funny. Like and then he said, he said,

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 3>when you really throw one work and it was like

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 3>a couple of chuckles and he was like, no, if

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 3>it don't work, don't don't force to laugh, Like, no,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to force to laugh. That was so

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 3>funny just seeing him doing that and then seeing it

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>done so long ago when I first started watching comedy.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy he still does it and it's still like

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 3>the first time.

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. This is you know, it's

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it's because people tend to forget it's about laughing. You

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 2>think how you laugh, it's about you laughing, you know

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. I'm not here to have you laugh

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>a particular way. It's like you're laughing if you laugh

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 2>at anything I do, it's funny, but I think it's

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>funny not being funny. So I make sure I do

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a joke that does not work, and so people would

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>laugh at it. And it's funny to me to hear

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 2>people laugh at it, and then when they do laugh

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>at it, it's just like, I really know that I

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>got that audience. But when they don't laugh, what did you.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 4>First realize you was funny? Like I'm talking about forget comedy.

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about back in the.

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Day I never did. It was a friend of mine's,

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 2>dude named Gwill Like. We was on some ill shit

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago, and you know, I never even thought comedy,

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>but he used to always listen to me just have

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>different outtakes on things and different views, and he would

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 2>just always be like, you should do comedy. You should

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>do comedy. I used to be like goddamny. And one

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 2>day he bet me to go on stage, and I

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 2>went on and never look back because I start really

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.439
<v Speaker 2>because I always thought comics was like, you know, slipping

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 2>on bananas and pied to the face that motherfuckers. And

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, then I realized that there's comedians. Then after

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I did it, I started doing research and I started

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 2>seeing like George Garland and then Degenerous and all these

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>other great comics that were like, you know, like I

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>mean obviously I knew about Red Fox and you know,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 2>moms maybe and all them or whatever. But I started

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>seeing comedians that wasn't throwing piles in their faces, who

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 2>was just standing there talking, And I was like, oh,

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>you could be funny like that and not move. I

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>was like yeah, because that was my whole demeanor anyway.

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Like I wasn't like no people people come up to

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>me this day I went to high school with.

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 5>They was like, boy, he was silly as hell in

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 5>high school. I'd be like, I ain't even speak to

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 5>you in high school, Like I wasn't. I wasn't even

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 5>silly in school. I used to just be quiet. I

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 5>was always a thinker of being the only child.

0:13:59.440 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>So you're a writer as well. How was the writing

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 1>strike affecting you? Especially with you being on all these

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>shows as well?

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.839
<v Speaker 2>And just you can't do nothing. I'm shooting this uh.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I was doing this thing up in Toronto and the

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>script was already in so we're working on it now,

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.080

<v Speaker 1>Happened in that case?

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Could you change yourself?

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>You just just go however you need to go about it.

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, but hopefully you do it right, you know,

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>but it ain't nobody talk to all. The writer's gone.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.000

<v Speaker 2>like they you need money and all that other stuff.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 4>So oh yeah, they was doing that with kids too,

<v Speaker 2>That's what they doing with that ship.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy as fuck right now, right so it's like

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like, yeah, that a is going it's gonna tear

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 2>everything up on top of everybody being like kind of

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>dumb as hell. Right now. You see that, you see

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>that I posted this video about these kids they cannot

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>read clocks. Did you see that? Like a round clock number?

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>They do not know how to read clocks. But then

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you start thinking about it. Am I older? They like dumb,

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>like a little bit, but it's a little but they

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 2>are so they don't have clocks. How old were they?

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>They was like teenagers. Oh that's stupid, but they man,

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>one man, they honestly was on that like this. I

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>ain't never even seen one of those around clock. Think

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>We don't really see him see digital clocks round clock even.

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I take this step further. I was talking to somebody

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 1>that was late the other day and he was like,

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>my phone died, and what you don't think about? You know,

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>everything is connected to electricity back in the day. I

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but my dad used to have a wind

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>up clock so no matter what.

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 2>It would always go off.

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>He never would have to worry about being late electricity

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 1>went out or forget to save it. So he was like,

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>these kids know nothing about that. So if the phone

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 1>does they they don't.

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.239
<v Speaker 2>They have no idea. They was asking them like they

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 2>was asking them. They was on that. They was on

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>there like yeah, it's nine seventy six, Like dude, they

0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>was trying to figure out the time. The dude was

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 2>like holding the clock and he was like, what time

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>is this? There's like nine seventy six.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>This is in America.

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>In America, y'all. But it had me thinking, like, man,

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>we owe as hell where nobody knows a lot of reason.

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Just things get out of you know, you just get

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 3>out of touch with things. I mean because honestly, just

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 3>clocks half clocks all over my house. But I don't tell.

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Time on them. They risk to the time when they

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 4>were flood them.

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 3>Out because it's nice. I'm gonna be like, I'm never

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>it's my watch face not playing three o'clock. We just

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 3>got away from you think about it.

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>People don't necessarily buy watches for time now as an accessory.

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 2>What time is the first thing you do?

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>You can pull out your phone, Dude, I got a

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 1>nice watch on.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 2>It's so wow. You gotta be attention to that ship,

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 2>like straight up, like it be little ship like that

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>that you be like whoa the world? Change it? Like

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>right now I'm looking at your face you over there

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 2>like damn na face changed. Didn't get some problems. Didn't

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 2>touch my nose.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But even navigation thinks about navigation. Right now I'm driving around,

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I can know, I can know where my house is.

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I still put in a navigation. Now, let's say that

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the Ways app don't work, a Google Maps don't work,

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be lost.

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, where am I gonna?

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Gone, it ain't no way to get that unless you, like,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of old people, they still be carrying.

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Maps, map quest and stuff like that. I know people

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.680
<v Speaker 3>that still well they're older obviously, but people that still

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 3>print off directions. But I think you were a lot

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 3>on it because I do the same thing. We just

0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 3>rely on it because we know we got it. If

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 3>you ever just try to get home, you would get there.

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I'm not talking about home, but like one

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>places like let's say you gotta go from Baltimore here, right,

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know you you got to take ninety five

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to the turnpike through the tunnel. Now you ain't got

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>no navigation. You're gonna be like, damn, which where am

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I going?

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:13.159
<v Speaker 2>In?

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Right? I'm gonna I'm gonna eventually get home because I

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 3>know what I got to take to get here to

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.479
<v Speaker 3>get there, and freed signs and all of that. But

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 3>I would, yeah, I would literally lose my mind just

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 3>because this is easier so that sometimes we use it.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 3>We don't even need it.

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 4>That's crazy to hear y'all. I've seen you justin I

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:29.159
<v Speaker 4>know you did.

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Y'all.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Comedians have like photographic memori because you'll have to remember

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 4>jokes and stuff like that.

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that, but I don't know where the hell I'm

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 2>going GV. I got this old chick cosh Yeah on

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Star God.

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:55.440
<v Speaker 3>The button at the top is like make I love No.

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, you got average joke coming out to it. Yeah, yeah,

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I as Joe. Man. It's this was thank you so much.

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 2>It was, man, this is a labor of love. It's

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 2>like a darkly comedic drama takes place in Pittsburgh. Dude,

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 2>he his father dies and these mob dudes is looking

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 2>for him and the Joe. He don't know what's going on,

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.360
<v Speaker 2>but his father left some money trying to figure out

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, and he had to make these decisions

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>between like, you know, family and money. But yeah, it's

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.719
<v Speaker 2>a it's a it's a super like it's funny, but

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.159
<v Speaker 2>it's it's dark as darkest hair. Like we was leaving

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 2>set miserable just from being like a comic. You gotta

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you know you you can be good to do comedy,

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 2>but every day just to leave murdering motherfuckers and Lyon

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and seaful and heartache and losing people and every day

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you leave.

0:21:58.480 --> 0:21:58.679
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.199
<v Speaker 2>That was the first time time I started realizing I

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 2>understand how like people kind of break when they when

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>they do movies and stuff. That was the very first

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>time I used to be like, he ain't that deep

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 2>into characters. But nah, Like if you keep doing that

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 2>and you have to constantly be that person, do that

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 2>like to like that's that ship wear on you. I

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 2>used to always think, like, like with Park, they always

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 2>say Park became like, yeah, he became Bishop from Juice

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But at first I never really kind of

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 2>like believe that ship. But yeah, And I saw Michael B.

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Jordan's talk about how he had to go to rehab

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:40.640
<v Speaker 2>after Noah. He said, I think it was Fruitville or

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it was no I think it was Wakanda. Yeah, I

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but I remember him saying that he had

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.199
<v Speaker 2>to go to like rehab, thought it was Wakanda. It

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 2>might but a lot of a lot of a lot

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of actors got to do that anyway.

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 2>That's how that show was. Man, we was down there,

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>we were shooting in the lineup. Boy, it was like

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 2>we was doing like sixteen hours sometimes twenty hours shooting

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 2>that shipping. But but we got a nice piece of work,

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 2>and man, it's gonna be something if y'all like Murder

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and Mayhem. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna love.

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:16.360
<v Speaker 2>This is your lead.

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 6>Crazy the first time Crazy she's looking at you talk

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 6>about this amazing because even as comics, we we can

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 6>still we can play any part, we can do anything.

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>You always think of Robin Williams, you know, the comics.

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Especially going from comedy to Drive and Jim.

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Carrey and you know, even like what you just say,

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 3>like how you sixteen hours? You got a status person

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and you got it. It's like you used to being,

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, but no, it's different. But the fact that you.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Can do it. Yeah, but it's like I remember when

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I when they when when they when I took the job,

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>because usually I'm I'm a type of cat. I go

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 2>play my part and I go get my drop top

0:23:57.960 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and we rolling, you know what I mean, Like that's

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I did on Blackets for eight years. I did my

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 2>part and that was out. I was gone. Why when

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I I signed on to do this and seeing like

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>sixty paid scripts and I'm in like ninety percent of it.

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking like, like I got a real job. I'm like,

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't leave. They like, man, the first one here,

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 2>last to leave. You like what it was an adjustment

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 2>because I still had other things going on and other

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 2>businesses and other projects and trying to write that and

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>do that and trying to do this. I had to

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>learn to I had to cut all that out, just

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 2>focus dead on this and get it done. But yeah,

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>being you gotta watch what you pray for. You gotta

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>know how to pray. You know, a lot of people

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:51.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to pray. And you know, that was

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:54.439
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that I learned. You know, a

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>person to ask, man, Lord, can I have a man?

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Can I have a woman? And they'll get you one

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and they don't have a job, I won't have. I

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 2>forgot to ask for a job with that person. Yeah,

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 2>so you just got you gotta now pray man. But no,

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>it was it was an amazing, amazing thing that shifted

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>my whole mind and mind frame as far as acting

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know, just uh you know, taking on

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 2>those those responsibilities when it.

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Comes to comedy and drama, right, they always say it's

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 4>a thin line, that's where the whole tears of a

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 4>clown thing come from a comic.

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 2>You don't lean into trauma. Yeah, absolutely, that's that's exactly

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:34.959
<v Speaker 2>what I did, you know what I mean. But it

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like that at first, like like, uh, another another

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 2>turning point. When we was doing the Hearder They Fall,

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I was like I walked on set and was like, Yeah,

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, Hey, what's going on on? Funny and comedian? Comedian?

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember Jonathan Age's and all them, they was just

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>all sitting back and del Roy Lindo, they was all

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.719
<v Speaker 2>just quiet, just chilling. I was like, Hey, what's going on?

0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 2>And beyond Hey, so we're gonna knock this out and

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:03.199
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna They was just like And then when we werehearsed,

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>they was just like so like and like it was

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.359
<v Speaker 2>so real, and so it just was like, man, I

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 2>remember Jonathan told me, he was like, man, you shouldn't

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>acting is the worst title for this job. This is

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 2>what you should not be doing. You should not be acting.

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 2>You should become you should become that person instead of acting.

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 2>And so it made me be like, oh really, So

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.640
<v Speaker 2>then I went back changed my whole demean up. Man

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 2>just from that conversation and came back and was like,

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 2>all right, we gotta we gotta just become this person.

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 2>And I remember that all the time, just becoming you know,

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>So isn't that dangerous thoughing?

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.600

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people don't really get like that because

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 2>they don't go deep enough. But if you go deep enough,

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you really gotta go home by yourself, and you got

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:11.720

<v Speaker 2>ago and it still affect him.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Man.

<v Speaker 2>He was like he's a whole. He said, you were

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 2>around fifty years old, and I'm like yeah, and he

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 2>was like, welcome to the club. And I was like,

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>wonder what he was saying. He was like, yeah, anybody

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>around fifty, it's a club of people who lose their parents.

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Because our parents is like seventy at eighties years old.

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 2>And he was like, and when you hit about fifty,

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that's around the age that everybody's mother's fathers, everybody started

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 2>going away. And he was like and so it's that club.

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 2>And he was like, welcome to fifty. And I was

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 2>just like he was like, welcome to the club. And

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 2>I was just like damn. And I started thinking about it,

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's like that, and so I try to advocate.

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Tell everybody, man, if you got your mother, your father,

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 2>any of that, man, take pictures of them, video of them,

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 2>just be around them, man, because you just never know

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 2>because my mom dies suddenly was nothing wrong with just

<v Speaker 2>I came from audition calling her and they was like,

0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 2>she didn't make it, and thinking that she was going

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 2>to an appointment. I was like an appointment. I was like, Nah,

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 2>she ain't make it, and I'm like make what? You

<v Speaker 2>like what. I was like, I just talked to her.

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:05.720
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about?

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Yoh?

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 2>That's it was like wow. I didn't even want to,

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Like even with my Netflix special, I didn't even want

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to do that. That wasn't even something I was planning

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to do. But I got cornered into shooting that special

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 2>on that day, you know, like the day that my

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 2>mom died, September tenth, and I was looking for a spot.

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Usually when you tour, if you're about to shoot a special,

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you won't perform in that city. So I was gonna

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 2>do Philly. Philly was the city I was gonna shoot

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 2>my special win, but we were taking too long with

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:40.959
<v Speaker 2>the deal and I ended up doing Philly. Right now,

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I had nowhere else to go and I wanted to shoot.

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought about New York. But I just was like,

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:48.239
<v Speaker 2>you got to be from New York in order to

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 2>do New York, you know what I mean, Like it's

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 2>New York is just different, you know, It's like you

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 2>got to be from there. But when it came around

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 2>to me shooting special Netflix is like, you got shooting September,

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, make sure it's at the inner

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>September because I know I couldn't shoot around A year

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 2>later from the day my mom passed. They came back

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>not even knowing they was like this, yeah, we got

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the venue. I'm like, man, let's do it. I was

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 2>like what day They was like September tenth, and I

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>was like, I said nah. I was like, I was like,

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I ain't gonna do it. Then about days later, my

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>mom was like, you know what, don't even mourn like that,

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 2>like celebrate her. Shoot on that day. Dedicate this to

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 2>her and celebrate her. Because when people passed, man, you

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>have to like make them live through you. Of course,

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 2>even if it's a password, you know what I mean,

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 2>if you get it, if you set a password and

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.399
<v Speaker 2>you put their name in every day, you that's that's

0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 2>every day, stay with you every day, you know what

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and so I was like, didn't word no,

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:55.399
<v Speaker 2>I did not no, but y'all and I just was like, man,

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna shoot it, and I shot it like on

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 2>that day. But I also was trying to show people

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and teach people that with comedians and entertain us, even y'all,

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:10.320
<v Speaker 2>people don't understand we got problems and when we perform

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and you never know what that comic is going through.

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>So that was a whole deal with my Netflix special.

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It was that I wanted to perform without telling nobody

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 2>what was going on, and then at the end of

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the special let them know I was up here rocking

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.760
<v Speaker 2>with y'all. You're not even knowing what I was going through.

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I just cried right before I walked out on stage.

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I was backstage wiping my eyes, took a deep breath,

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and walked out there, performed the whole special with them

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.439
<v Speaker 2>not even knowing that this was like the one year

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:45.320
<v Speaker 2>anniversary of my mom's death, and I wanted tend to

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:49.840
<v Speaker 2>see that us performers, we had to put aside whatever

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 2>we're going through, even with y'all. Y'all, man, y'all got

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to come here and work every day every day, and

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.439
<v Speaker 2>you and the more family got more problems you've got

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>and so if you got six kids, you got six

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 2>sets of goddamn problems, then you still got to come

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.520

<v Speaker 2>you to know this is what I was going through

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 2>this entire time that I was filming this shooting and

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.479
<v Speaker 2>doing it in Brooklyn. Was like, they showed so much love,

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.879
<v Speaker 2>but I was so scared. I ain't gonna lie because

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I ain't know what Brooklyn I was gonna get. I

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:32.520
<v Speaker 2>ain't know if it's gonna be biggie Brooklyn, Uh, gentrified

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn or righteous Brooklyn. Righteous Brooklyn. If I said bitch,

0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:38.640
<v Speaker 2>they was.

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:45.439
<v Speaker 7>Like brother on like the material ain't working, Like man,

<v Speaker 7>explain what you meant.

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Make the word b I TC means something else. Yeah, yeah,

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:57.799
<v Speaker 2>it was too much to whatever. But collectively everybody came

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:02.360
<v Speaker 2>out and rocked. But uh, yeah, that whole experience or

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 2>something else. And like I said, I'm still dealing with

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 2>anybody out there dealing with grief. Man, don't be afraid.

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I know you're a man, or you're a woman, you're

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a boss, and all this other shit. Man, let that

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 2>shit out. Grieve. Learn how to grieve because it ain't

0:37:18.000 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna stop. Just learn how to do it, control it

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 2>and keep it moving and make sure that they live

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:23.920
<v Speaker 2>through you.

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 4>You said something powerful that I would like for you

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 4>to talk about, just because that's something.

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I struggle with.

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 4>How do you show up as a friend when somebody

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 4>has somebody that they lose that's close to them, like

0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 4>a parent or significant other, Like what would you have

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 4>wanted your friends to do in that moment.

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 2>So if I'm now different and we ain't buying bottles

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 2>and kicking it, and I ain't in the club, and

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm now I'm in the club with you, but but

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm daydreaming and I'm zoned out and I ain't helping

0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you pull all the women in the club and all

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that shit or whatever. If I'm now I'm boring to you,

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not what you was. If you're a friend, you're

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:11.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna be like, man, let's get out this club, Let's

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.240
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, let's go chill, let's go get you together,

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's go chill. If you're any way different. Even if

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm snappy, even if I'm not understanding, if I don't

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 2>hear you correctly at any of that, understand that I

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:28.160
<v Speaker 2>wasn't normally like this. So therefore you have to know

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 2>that there's some kind of issue going on with me, right,

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So therefore you have to channel that and understand that

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and get to know who I am now or who

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to be, because now I'm embarking on a

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 2>new normal. And that's what everybody has to do. It

0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 2>out the embark on a new normal. Truthfid absolutely, And

0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 2>once a true friend understand that, yo, he's he's embarking

0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:53.759
<v Speaker 2>on the new normal. And I have to be here

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 2>to learn that new normal in order to be there,

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 2>to be there for this, you know what I mean.

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:02.239
<v Speaker 2>So once a person the stands that, and they'll be there,

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.080
<v Speaker 2>they won't leave you, and they gonna be there and

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 2>they gonna and they're gonna help you out and they

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 2>not gonna leave because all of a sudden you don't

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 2>understand them and all of that, and it's like it's

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:16.120
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so whack or whatever. And I lost not

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.160
<v Speaker 2>only I and not only I lose my mother I

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 2>lost like other family members and friends, and so it

0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:26.720
<v Speaker 2>was very and I'm still in that kind of lonely

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 2>spot right now, you know, but it's a lot better

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:32.320
<v Speaker 2>because I'm working and I got all these other projects

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.400
<v Speaker 2>coming out and about the popping bubble and all that,

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 2>and so it's taking up my mind framing, you know,

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:40.799
<v Speaker 2>me working on a whole new hour, the tour with

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and all of that. So you know, I'm not feeling

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 2>as left out and lonely no more, because you know,

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I got a lot going on. But as a friend,

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what a friend does. A friend understands that you changed,

0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and they gonna change with you, and they're gonna be

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:00.560
<v Speaker 2>there for you, and they gonna find out how are

0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:03.239
<v Speaker 2>you now, find out what makes you happy? Now? What

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 2>makes you sad? Now, you know, and they're gonna be

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 2>that for you, you know what I mean. But falling

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:13.280
<v Speaker 2>back and it's a selfish move, a lot of people

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.280
<v Speaker 2>go because they go, oh, you're not making me feel

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 2>comfortable around you or and now it's about them, yeah

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 2>and not you, you know what I mean. So yeah,

0:40:23.800 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a it's a trip that situation. And I'm

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 2>still learning, you know what I mean and uh and

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:33.520
