1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: This is Alec Baldwin. And here's the thing. A few

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: months back I attempted to catch up with Chris Rock.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: His dressing room in Broadway shown Field Theater was five

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: floors up, no elevator. Chris's show The Motherfucker with the

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Hat was about a group of dysfunctional friends and lovers

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: where every relationship had gone bad, really bad. Drugs, booze, cheating,

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: No one was loyal to anyone. Chris played a recovering

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: alcoholic who, at first glance seems to be a good guy,

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: but after a few minutes it was clear he was

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the most self serving of the bunch. Oh man, you

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: do a great man. You want to press that this

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: is something beautiful. Come and stay with me and Vicky

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Man get on a nutritional beverage program. Man. Before this

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: past spring, Chris might have been the last person you'd

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: expect to see starring in a Broadway show. I mean,

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Chris can sell out Madison Square Garden. P s they

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: have an elevator. Yet there he us between performances in

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: his attic dressing room at the show Felt Theater. I

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: wanted my acting to grow. Do you have obviously a

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: huge following Black and white in your concerts, and yet

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: when you go out in this audience, how black is

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: the audience? Well, I mean put away. In the old days,

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: they used to have signs up whites only, whites only.

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Now they have a new thing. It's called prices. You know,

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: some nights it's darker than other nights. I buy tickets

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: every night when this play is over. I spent almost

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: a whole weekly paycheck on tickets as gifts for friends

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: otherwise couldn't come see the show. Otherwise, could not afford

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: to see this show. I tour and I'm normally you know,

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: at the garden or whatever, like sixty thousand seats to

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: give away what I'm normally on tour, and people have

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: gotten used to this. My man takes care of us,

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: and you know I don't. I can't take that away

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: from friends and family. You haven't done a lot of theater. Correct,

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: This is the first play I've ever done. This is

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: the first play you've ever done. I didn't do a

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: play in high school. I didn't go to high school.

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: So so not only your Broadway debut, but your first

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: play period. You're with a pretty cool group of people experience,

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: you know what, and they have held me up. No

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: one ever got frustrated at what I didn't know. You know,

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: this is a bunch of little things that people take

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: for grant. I have no idea. You're never supposed to

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: walk straight at somebody supposed to looke. Just all these

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: weird little thing And my favorite is that you don't

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: give information to the person. So if you're standing here

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: telling them something, you tell it out. You sit there

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and open, open, open to the audience as much as possible.

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: All that open, open, open, open, open stuff. Yes, even today,

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. The Chris Rock that I know

51
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: from your live shows, I don't see much of him

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: in this show because that Chris Rock is like marauding

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: the stage and as complete control over the audience. This

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: is a different Chris I see in the play. I'm

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: really trying to act here. You know. Have you enjoyed it?

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it a lot, A lot. A lot. Is

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life.

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: I always tell people it's like having the Empire State

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Building shoved up your ass, one brick at a time,

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: and to learn they can't believe there's ever gonna be

61
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a day when you know what's been the surprise about

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: doing this for you? Honestly, I'm surprised I'm doing it.

63
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised that I'm not bored with it already.

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Are you afraid of that? I'm really that That's what's

65
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the that's the biggest fear, to actually be stuck doing anything.

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Does this change for you night by night day? You

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: know what's weird? I'm figuring out how to make it

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: change now. So I'm actually figuring out how to add

69
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: lib every night without saying words, how to work eats,

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: seeing a little different in each line, and try to

71
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: find laughs and places that I didn't find one the

72
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: night before. So yes, it's to answer your question, it

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: changes every night. Well what I love about this plant?

74
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: By the way, everybody has loved someone and not too

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: far into the relationship, you say to yourself, not only

76
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: is this probably wrong, this is definitely wrong, but you

77
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: can't get out of it. How does this play resonate

78
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: with you in your personal life? I've been every person

79
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: in this place, not a person, everything, everything, and it's

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the one who sucked the other person in response to

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: the betrayal, the revenge fuck every person. It's the kind

82
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: of play you can't watch without putting yourself in it.

83
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: When you write your material for stand up, how do

84
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the people in your life react to how you fill

85
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: at them on stage? If you you know what, I'm

86
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: like a lawyer in a sense. I mean, it's it's

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: almost like a legal document. It's a word. It like

88
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: it's all our wives and all our you know what

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like like if you if I gave

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: you the transcript, he'd be like, he hasn't talked about anybody.

91
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: It would it would all hold up in court. But

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: you do. But you never have anybody in your life. No, No,

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: everybody's uncomfortable. I remember I read a quote Tarantino said,

94
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: if people in your life aren't uncomfortable, you're not really writing,

95
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: You're not really hitting it. You know, somebody better be uncomfortable.

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: Did you grow up in a situation that was remotely

97
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: like this? And then emotionally and most turbulence, My parents

98
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: plase way, My mother cursed a lot, screamed a lot.

99
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: You know my father, my mother beat us with a

100
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: curtain rod. Yeah, well we got beatings with curtain rods

101
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: and brooms and brushings and hangars or whatever. But me

102
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: and my father. It's weird. My father, his temper towards

103
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: my mother was always controlled well else he could lose it.

104
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Why do you think it was he wanted to protect that.

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, first of all, I mean

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: guys from that era did not view women as their equals.

107
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: They did and they were loving and blah blah blah

108
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: blah blah, but they did not view women as their equals.

109
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Therefore they could actually deal with the woman's emotional whatever

110
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: swings way easier than a guy in my age, because

111
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I view a woman as my equal. So if I'm

112
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: with a woman and she starts crying, I look at

113
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: her like I'm with you when you start crying, don't

114
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: go female on me. I'm like something, I look at

115
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: her life. I would look at a guy that gets emotional. Yeah,

116
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: I thought, if we were equal, then you can't play

117
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: that car don't the female. So I'll just say my

118
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: father and my grandfather's both but we're really delicate with

119
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: their wives. You know, not a child, but close to

120
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: a child. That's different for you. My wife's my equal,

121
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, any budding of heads is

122
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: because I I want I'm dealing with you the same

123
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: way I would deal with myself, or I deal with

124
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: any guy, and we're both wrong. What are you gonna

125
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: do when this is over? Do you know how much sure?

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna direct a movie? That's what I'm feeling.

127
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: So this is the time in your life and you

128
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: do all the things you told yourself you'd never do.

129
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Play on Broadway, direct a movie? Why do you want

130
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: to direct a movie? I don't know? Is your Warren

131
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Babby face that? Yeah, I don't know. I put this away.

132
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: If I can get a great director to direct me,

133
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: I'll do it. But yeah, once you get to the seilers,

134
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: you might as well do it yourself. That's what I say.

135
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: How picky are you about the films you do? Because

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: you don't do a lot of films? Um, I don't know.

137
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean I turned out a lot, but I don't

138
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: have a list of great films I've turned. You turned down.

139
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Regardless of whether they're great or not. Do you turn

140
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: them down? Because for you, you always have the stand

141
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: up thing in your pocket and the concert thing in

142
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: your pocket. You're not in any hurry to go out

143
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: and make a living. Most movies suck, man, early suck

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: see I'm I'm messed up because I like to see

145
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: something I haven't seen or haven't seen what a black

146
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: person black people in film is still at its really

147
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: at its infant stage. And why do you think that

148
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't know? You know what, here's the thing. You know,

149
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: you hand a studio person of script, and sometimes the

150
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: studio people are good at a time. When you hand

151
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: somebody a script, they pick a person in the movie

152
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: that they identify with. So if you hand a woman

153
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: of script, if the woman's got nine lives in the movie,

154
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: the first person who gives your notes about is the woman.

155
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: And if you hand the boss the script, he's gonna

156
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: give you notes about the main character. And if you

157
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: hand his assistant the script is gonna give you notes

158
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: about some other everybody figures out who they are in

159
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: the movie. Now, when you had somebody a black script,

160
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: they don't relate to anybody. Even it's a very good point,

161
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm serious, even when it's and when you have any

162
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: secontive who does relate to a black person's script, what

163
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: does that mean to you? You You struck gold Well, it's

164
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: it's never really happened. They just they're making a product.

165
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, That's what I've experienced. And when

166
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: you do that, because I mean, there's no black studios

167
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, so you end up you always end up

168
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: with just a person trying to make a piece of product.

169
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: They might as well, they might still be making an

170
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: eye paths kind of in the state of State chip business.

171
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: But you seem to me, because you're so smart and

172
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: so clever, that you have as much of a white

173
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: audience as you do with black audies, don't you think

174
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: so in spite of the fact your stand up can

175
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: be pretty tough on white people. Yeah, but I always

176
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: say my stand ups like Chinese food and what's Chinese food? Well,

177
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Chinese food is one of the most popular foods in

178
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: all of America, and they don't put American ship on

179
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: their menus. People really want Chinese food. They don't put

180
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: ripe fries and cheese grilled cheese on the menu of

181
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: the most popular Restauranese food of people. So I'm just

182
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: saying when people see people come to Christ's restaurant, think

183
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Christmas menu, they want Christmas menue. It's the guy that

184
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: tries to cross over that gets less white people, I find.

185
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Do you think the appeal to you with a black

186
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: audience is how much you have fun with white et commentary?

187
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Do think your black audience expects you to do that

188
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: when they come see you? They expect me to do it? Yeah?

189
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: What am I trying to say? First of all, all

190
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: the materials run by run through black. It's actually it's

191
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: run through black pission. Actually first is run through Jews.

192
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: I always work out the material in the West Palm Beach.

193
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Out here. I go to West Palm Beach and guess

194
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: what they show up. I play a little club, so

195
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: I figured, I'm in front of these people, they're a

196
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: little older. If I can get them to laugh at

197
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: this one. I came in front of the black people,

198
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: They're gonna go zirk. And then I get in front

199
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: of the black people, make some adjustments here and there.

200
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: And this is all before I put like the garden

201
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: or something on sale. So it's these two very different groups.

202
00:11:50,600 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: So working out in front of more from my conversation

203
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: with Chris Rock is coming up in a minute. I'm

204
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin and you're listening to here's the thing. This

205
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: is Alec Baldwin and you're listening to here's the thing.

206
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking with Chris Rock backstage at the Shaunfeld Theater

207
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: on Street. I'm sixty six man, which means you started

208
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: and you started. I started probably five seven years before

209
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I got on S and O. But I always I

210
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: haven't been you know, I haven't been poor day since

211
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: I met Laura Michaels. I never A lot of his

212
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: stuff sticks with me. What thing he said to me

213
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: is like everybody loses their first money. Now, if you're talented,

214
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: you'll make some. You said, that's right. He knows more

215
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: about Let's take a moment to talk about the wisdom

216
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: of Lord and Michael. He's always there to remind you

217
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: how you can lose perspective about this business, at least

218
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: in my case. He's very good. But how much of

219
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: things changed in your mind? And not just for you,

220
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: but for you specifically, but in the business. I don't

221
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: know about you. I find a business a lot smaller way,

222
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: less movies, less, I mean less stuff that relates to me,

223
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: you know what, Less stuff that relates to me. I'll

224
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: say that for the young people. You know, this whole

225
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: reality thing, I'm not going to dismiss it. You know,

226
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: it sound like I'm some old person talking about rap music.

227
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: It's not gonna last, you know what I mean. But

228
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't get it. Do you

229
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: think you'd make it today if you came in today. Yeah.

230
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: Me and SANEA, Well, that's our little tests with each other.

231
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: We kinda we assessed the stand ups. Yeah, we've still

232
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: got it. I still got it. Yeah. I keep the

233
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: wait off a little bit, you know. That's what I'm

234
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: trying to do. Bon Jovi still doing it. Still doing it, man.

235
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: Just look hot. Just try to look hot to somebody.

236
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: You don't have to lie. You still got you. Still

237
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Look how many kids you have done to nine? Get

238
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Ready nine and get Ready by seven? So what are

239
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: you worried about raising your kids in this world? I

240
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: care that they're good with money. I don't even care

241
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: if they're assholes. When I say good with money, I

242
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: just mean you've got two dollars and you spend one

243
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: and you put a dollar. But I don't mean that

244
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: they run Microsoft or they flip money and buy a house.

245
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I just mean does that come from your childhood? Yes,

246
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: it comes from my childhood. I just mean can they

247
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: handle their own? That's it? Because to get out it's

248
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: a tough hole. To get out of, and it's a

249
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: weird hole for a pretty woman to get out of,

250
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: and they end up in relationships with guys they wouldn't

251
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: have relationship with. There's a great line that Anthony Quinn

252
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: has in Lawrence Arabian where he says, I am a

253
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: river to my people. Yeah, I'm getting a lot of that. Now. Well, hey,

254
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You can only help. Like, I got

255
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: some family right now, guy whatever, losing his house, whatever,

256
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help him move into wherever he's gonna move into.

257
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm not buying his house because he's never gonna be

258
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: able to fold the house. So yeah, I my I'm

259
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a river. But it's a little river. It's a little

260
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: river because when you turn down somebody and they know

261
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: you have the money, this is one thing to go.

262
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: These kids are kicking my ass or whatever and you

263
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: don't have the money. They know you have the money.

264
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: It's so it's almost like a woman. It's like I

265
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: know you have vagina and you have sex, you just

266
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: don't want to have it with me. I remember I

267
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: used to do a movie and they say to mean

268
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: in whatever way, what would come back was, uh, we

269
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: don't have the money. For that, And what they really

270
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: were saying was, we don't have the money for that

271
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: for you, For you, we don't we have the exactly

272
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: for Leo, we're gonna sell our houses because remember, for you,

273
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: we don't have the money. And that's what you're saying

274
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: to people in your life is I don't have the

275
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: money for you. I don't have the money for you.

276
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: You're not going to be the reason I'm doing some

277
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: bad kung fu movie. I got one last question for you.

278
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: When you're home and you really want to relax, what

279
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: do you like to watch? Like, what's entertainment to you?

280
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: You know it's probably Woody just about any Woody. It's

281
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: me like, yeah, me too. I'm gonna go do his

00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: lucky you don't want. One of the reasons I'm doing

284
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: this play is like maybe what do you come? Maybe

285
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: you come? Maybe any Woody? Just about man? Mean, what

286
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: is this way? The average great filmmaker Great has about

287
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: four good movies. R wood he has about twelve like great,

288
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: and then he probably has about ten more really good finger.

289
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: I even like the new Ones hey Man match Point,

00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: that is really, really, honestly, and this is how I'm

299
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,159
