12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,920

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: start to think about, is how how you want to

17

Speaker 1: this crystallized for you?

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I see a lot of comedians that they

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: don't want to be funny anymore. And they want to

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: be taken serious. And I don't know. I just think

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: if you do really good comedy, people will take it serious.

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,200

Speaker 2: James Brown was on the episode. James Brown was an evangelist.

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: The interesting thing about James Brown is that every day

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: he was dressed like James Brown. Like it was you know,

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: it's a movie, it's a TV show. You get dressed,

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: you get into war drove at five in the morning.

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: At five in the morning, he'd be dressed as James Brown.

40
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: He'd have an orange jumpsuit and heels up to here

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: and his hair would be done just to take off

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: his clothes and put on his costume. I love that.

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Did you get to talk to him?

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: I did get to talk to him. Which is you know,

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: he's you know the reason they invented subtitles. You think

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: they invented subtitles for foreign films. No, they invented subtitles

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: for James Brown. Hot damn was it like that? It

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: was weird, James Brown. I had Jerry curls. Jerry curls

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: were these curls that like Michael Jackson, the thing Michael

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Jackson had in his hair that caught on fire. And

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: I had that style of hair back then, and James

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: Brown comes up to me one morning grabs my hair.

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: You got that Jerry Harrell, boy, What you need to

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: do is put some vinegar in it and turn it.

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Put vinegar in my

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: hair and turn it. Now. I never found out what

57
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: that meant. On the other hand, he was probably sixty

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: years old back then and had all his hair, So,

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know anybody out there losing their hair.

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Maybe try vinegar and turning it. Because James Brown had

61
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: way hit a thick head of hair.

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Did you have a thousand of those sorts of roles

63
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: before you took off?

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: I had quite a few, Yes, I had. There's a

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: lot of movies that never came out. There's a couple

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: of things with Eric Roberts. You know Eric Roberts. But
