1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,599
Speaker 1: No, Mamaron.

00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:13,519
Speaker 2: Man behind me, come one me.

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,679
Speaker 1: I forgot Marisa Tome.

00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: Two three?

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Okay? Did they change the theme songs? Orlando? Okay, it's

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,760

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,039
Uh get get tickets to this. But Orlando, to me

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,280
is so much more than someone who's just funny.

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: No.

12
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: I I the way I saw it was because you

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,079
you were writing them for this show. Yeah, And I'd

14
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,920
love to go back and just kind of get the

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,479
trajectory of how all this happens, because uh, if I

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,799
you didn't your dad was he a player or what

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,079
was in Major League Baseball player? Your dad was a

18
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:07,079
player for the Phillies, Phillies organization with in the era

19
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:08,359
of like a Tug McGraw.

20
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, nineteen before I was born, so probably be Oh see,

21
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:15,480
he was in Long Beach at the FIM team I

22
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:19,840
think probably in sixty five sixty six or something. Okay,

23
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,239
then went up to show in sixty seven and then

24
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:26,000
got hurt, and then I was born, and then he

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,519
wasn't at the birth. So you know, my mama was

26
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:31,000
fit to be tied. Sure, you showed up a couple

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560
of days late with a baseball uniform, and she was.

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Like, this negro, ain't playing no baseball two days late?

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: You in here with a baseball you?

30
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:42,159
Speaker 1: I know he did.

31
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,719
Speaker 3: I know you did one of them situations. So my

32
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:50,560
mom was like, not halving baseball under no circumstances.

33
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:54,519
Speaker 1: Wow, So what was that like playing? Because to get

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,280
to the the you know how good you have to

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
be to suck at any major league level? Right? I

36
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,799
always say that about the NFL. I know guys who

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,079
have had a cup of coffee and I go, do

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,879
you know how good you have to be for everybody

39
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:12,080
to go? That guy sucked? Right? Right? So your dad

40
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:14,879
makes it to the highest level that you can play, yes,

41
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,199
And what was that like for you? Growing up with that?

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: I mean, so every male in my family played professional sports.

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,080
They did, played professional football, a professional baseball. It's really

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,360
the family business really. So the expectation was that I

45
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,960
would go on and be a professor. Basketball was the

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,759
game that I liked, so they assumed I would be

47
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,840
a professional basketball player. I was an All American, you know,

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120
I played with Kevin Garnett, Nike, All American BC, All Stars,

49
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,080
all that madness. So wow, I said I was going

50
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:47,280
to go at eighteen to California, and my uncle Larry

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,159
and my uncle Lamar called a family meeting, uh to

52
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,080
discuss it. Of course, Okay, So I walked into Lamar's house.

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,199
Speaker 1: He's like, ehh.

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: But like I have now the Dada say, Okay, your

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,919
daddy saying you moving to California. Your daddy, your daddy

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,080
says you won't be an acho.

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,599
Speaker 1: That's what your dad.

58
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: Now.

59
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Everybody know.

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: Everybody know, Hollywood play the white man, the sports pay

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,639
the black man. So unless you wanted them to Hollywood boys, Yeah,

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000
why is you going to California? And I was like,

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,439
I don't understand what the big deal is. And that's

64
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:29,159
when the Martian it's a simple question. You won't know

65
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:30,240
if you were diabetic.

66
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: Do you have sugar in your tank?

67
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:34,439
Speaker 3: That's what you want to know.

68
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: That's what right? Are you gay?

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the legitimate question.

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh god, this is funny, like where is unc unc?

71
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,759
Speaker 3: Uncle? Is our one uncle? Six foot six, two hundred

72
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:49,520
and forty looks like they carved the mind of stone

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
gay as the day is long, in no way effeminine,

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
and had knocked out every one of them with one punch,

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,240
to which they said, well he ain't here right now

76
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:00,680
because he had, you know, yeah, crowd practice could making him.

77
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:03,199
I said, what do you mean, He said, choir practice.

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,439
He's not a member of the church. I say it

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520
the choir pract What I said, what he's saying is

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,840
he had the cop practical cause he heard it back

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,080
the other day messing around. I said, it sounded a

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,520
lot like he said, a choir practice.

83
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: To me, that's what it sounds a lot like what there.

84
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,079
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody said, Kyle, or practice. He said, a cop practice.

85
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:23,000
Coud he heard it back. You're always making up some

86
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:28,800
stuff Hollywood and I literally kind of ignored their shenanigans.

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,079
And I moved out to Hollywood, and I got a

88
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,600
writing job on a different world. I flew out, I

89
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,040
met the EP and I got hired by Deborah All

90
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,639
and Susan Fails, and I became a writer on Cosby's

91
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:42,920
one hour block of television on NBC.

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: That's amazing, But go back to basketball. You're playing at

93
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,120
such a high level. I have a son who's fourteen

94
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:53,800
waking up today nervous. Finally got on the basketball team,

95
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,720
going to be in his first game tonight. Had to

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,480
wear a college shirt. We had to pick out the

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,519
right fit for all this stuff. But you're playing at

98
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,120
a high level, you must have had interest from colleges

99
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,560
and things. Oh yeah, sure, and you didn't. I just

100
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,319
this was a greater pull for you.

101
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: I'll to be honest with you, man, I was really leaning,

102
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,839
probably more towards sports, if I'm being really honest in

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,920
some ways. And my debate teacher was this woman named

104
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,279
Gladys Roberts She's the only teacher I ever had that cursed.

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,120
And she called a meeting with my dad because I

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,680
had a basketball game and I was going to miss

107
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,759
this debate tournament. And she called my dad and she said, John,

108
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,120
I just want to have a conversation with you. I

109
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,920
bout on land Yell and this thing that you're doing

110
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:41,120
where you're pushing him into sports is not where he excels.

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800
So I'd like you to cut the sheet. She said

112
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,800
this to your old man, I like you to cut

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,000
the sheet. Gladys robertson like fucking ballsy irish.

114
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Why Later I loved her.

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,959
Speaker 3: I love her, she said, I like you to cut

116
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,720
the sheet. I like you to bring him to this

117
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,480
debate tournament. And my father was like, first of all,

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,279
you're trying to push him no fucking where. And secondly,

119
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,759
I'll bring him. And my father came and saw me perform,

120
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,720
and he's like, kid, you're a gifted athlete, but at

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,319
this over here, she's right, you're something else. So whichever

122
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,480
direction you want to go, let's go. I won the

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,800
national championship Yale.

124
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: You won the national championship at debating.

125
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: And dramatic and humorous interpretation performing the Butter Bottle Book

126
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,040
by Doctor Seuss, which sadly I still know.

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: So once it's it, once it's it, can't I go

128
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,040
do it at schools because it's it's it's you know,

129
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,680
it's on the last day of summer, ten hours before

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,199
a fall, my grandfather took me out to the wall.

131
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:37,959
Speaker 3: Or for a while he stood silent, Then finally he said,

132
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,959
with a very sad shake of his very old head,

133
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,759
are as you know on.

134
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: This shot at the wall, lived in Yukes.

135
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,759
Speaker 3: On the far other shot of the wall.

136
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:48,639
Speaker 1: Lived at Zouke.

137
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: And it's hot time and a terrible hob zuks new

138
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,160
because a neighber zuke house in a neighbor zook town.

139
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:57,480
Ember zooke each his bread with the butter slide down.

140
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,000
But we ukes, as you know, when we breakfastress up,

141
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,120
spread our bread, Grandpa said, with the butter side up.

142
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,120
And it goes on and on as he describes nuclear

143
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,759
war and the choices that we need to Yeah, and

144
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,759
won a Pulitzer Prize for it in nineteen eighty four,

145
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,199
and I won the national championship.

146
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

147
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: Wow. So that's that impact on a student as a substitute.

148
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,519
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't

149
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:21,920
think so.

150
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fired but red hots or white hots.

151
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: But this is where like to me, I was thinking

152
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:38,160
of there are a lot of comics that have tried

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,519
to go into acting or have gone into acting, right,

154
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:42,199
and they do.

155
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:44,519
Speaker 4: There's a type cast we can do.

156
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,519
Speaker 1: I think Kevin Hart for for most part a little

157
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,839
bit type cast. But then there were guys like Robin Williams. Sure,

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,600
and if you knew his background, he was julliard and

159
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:57,480
all that stuff, and I would say that you're of

160
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,519
that cloth to me, yeah, you really, I mean you

161
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040
bring you're a storyteller, you bring these characters to life.

162
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,600
I mean, we can go anything from the replacements, which

163
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,199
was hilarious when you meet the players and you find

164
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,839
out who the cop is now, that whole thing is

165
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:17,279
so funny. Yes, yes, Clifford, frank But I think there's

166
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:21,079
even an independent film that I read about and I

167
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,519
have not seen, and I would love to see Till

168
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,399
Death do his part.

169
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely action movie.

170
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but even there, like it's those are not roles

171
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,679
that you would normally see someone who as the comedic

172
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:36,600
chops that you have.

173
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I for me, it's always been about varying the

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,080
type of storytelling as an entertainer, and frankly, my superpower

175
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,080
was that I could become anybody I wanted to become.

176
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,519
That was as an actor. Yeah, most people play themselves yep,

177
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
right right, They just play a version of themselves, no

178
00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:57,320
matter what.

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: De Niro's been doing that forever, and every.

180
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,639
Speaker 3: Yes and Will is always pretty much a version of Hell,

181
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,440
and Denzel is always pretty for the version of having

182
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,960
been Afflecks. They're always a version of themselves. And I

183
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720
thought that's kind of like lazy to me to a

184
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:14,200
certain degree because a lot of times when you're playing characters, like,

185
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:21,200
characters have very specific proclivities, ticks, secrets, and I think

186
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,600
that the characters resonate more when the audience can lose

187
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,799
themselves in and see themselves in the character sure, as

188
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:31,200
opposed to just seeing your ass all the time, you know,

189
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,840
reading the lines and collecting your check as an actor.

190
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,679
To me, it doesn't it doesn't go deep enough. Really,

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,639
it doesn't. It doesn't take you out of it journey.

192
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: That's a deep artistic.

193
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: It is what to me, it is what. That's what

194
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:48,399
the art form really is. Whereas stand up is a monologue,

195
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,120
and that's about how honest, how honest can you be?

196
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,440
Like how much bulls you can rally? You can you

197
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,919
can placate the audience, right, you can you can play

198
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,240
the game. You can play them man game or whatever

199
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:03,440
the game is that you're playing, right, Or you can

200
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,000
get really real about life and try and get down

201
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:11,000
to its essence and use the last bastion of free speech, yep,

202
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,679
for what it was meant to be used for, which

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,200
is to fucking connect us, right. Or you can use

204
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,440
it to push rhetoric that divides us. It's easier to

205
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,399
push the stuff that divides us. It's harder to be

206
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,240
honest about your own flaws and your own shit and

207
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,559
find a way to laugh and connect us all.

208
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:32,759
Speaker 1: Is that your attraction to comedy? Yes, I always thought

209
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,159
comedy was the greatest I've said that. I think that, Uh,

210
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:42,039
some of comics today are modern day philosophers.

211
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: That's always what it was.

212
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: That's what Carlum was doing was doing.

213
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: That's what br Lenny Bruce was doing. That's what Shelley

214
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:51,240
Burnham is doing. Yes, that's what it is, right, I

215
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:51,960
really think that.

216
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,039
Speaker 1: And it's a way to make it more palpable is

217
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,879
to bring laughter. That is correct. We see the flaws

218
00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:01,039
in ourselves, and I always like when I leave a

219
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,360
show that I leave almost thinking a little bit.

220
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: If you didn't then they slaying some jokes and you

221
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,039
paid cash, but you didn't get nothing to talk about

222
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,960
on the way home in the car with h and

223
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,440
you ain't getting nothing to chew on later. Yeah, so

224
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,919
why you listening to that monkey? They didn't give you anything.

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: We got to write you a better set. I need

226
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,759
some help in that de just yes, they again, but

227
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,279
when did you know you were funny? Because that's the

228
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,279
thing is like when You've got a whole family of

229
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:36,200
athletes and people. To be able to do this, you've

230
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,399
got to have that inner confidence that I can, you

231
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,720
know what I mean. And maybe the athletic side of

232
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,679
your dad pushing himself and all your uncles and everybody

233
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,320
playing at the highest level. You're just like that. That's

234
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,840
just the expectation I expect.

235
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I expect that of myself. But also I don't

236
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
my falling foot on my face. I don't. I don't

237
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:56,440
need to be perfect shit about that. And I think

238
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,399
I mostly realized it because I was making my mom laugh, right, yeah, yeah,

239
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,080
And my mom is not for the faint of heart,

240
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,840
you know what I'm saying, Like, so you know, please,

241
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:04,840
my mom is please. You do not want to come

242
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:06,559
up on the wrong side of that black lady. You've

243
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,120
got a myriad of problems that ain't even worth it.

244
00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:10,559
You know how many times I seen her in the

245
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,879
TJ Max doing a return and the wall says no exchanges,

246
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,519
no refunds, no exception, Honey that I mean no, nohe

247
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:20,200
go and get the manager police and bring the manager

248
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,360
over here so I can talk to them. Because you know,

249
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,720
I'm a good customer. I'm an extremely good customer. And

250
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:27,279
I'm going to return this today when I'm am no

251
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,519
sense and you're talking and I tell you to go

252
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:29,039
get the manager.

253
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:29,759
Speaker 4: Why are you still here?

254
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,919
Speaker 3: You can't win, You can't win. So I joke that

255
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,639
I speak fluent fluent black woman. Yeah, and I have

256
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:42,559
learned this, and it's not just true of black women.

257
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,639
I think it's true of women. Women don't talk about

258
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:49,480
what they say. They talk about what they don't say.

259
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:56,720
It's the sounds they make. That's four paragraphs to fuck you.

260
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Right, that's all that is.

261
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,799
Speaker 3: And the more strange is that sounds.

262
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:04,519
Speaker 1: Get the more trouble.

263
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:15,279
Speaker 3: You're right, that's an essence you have here, Cardi b oh, yes, yes.

264
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 4: That's a book.

265
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: That's a book, that is.

266
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,799
Speaker 4: And she ain't taking the restaurant either.

267
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: Your son all kinds and if they leave work and

268
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,799
they say the following.

269
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,399
Speaker 7: All right, y'all have a good day, you too.

270
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: Maryland the add on of Maryland.

271
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: Maryland, tank asshole Maryland. Six different kids from eight different motherfuckers, Maryland.

272
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,159
Got your titties out at work every day there and

273
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:45,039
they're stick going out and every day think I'm gonna

274
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,399
train you to take my job Maryland. Oh, fuck you Maryland.

275
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,279
Fuck you. Every day I leave this bitch Maryland rendered

276
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,320
as Okay, y'all have a good day, you too, Maryland.

277
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,840
That's what they do, not say.

278
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: Okay, that's so funny, so funny.

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: Hearing the part that they didn't say. Because when they

280
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,320
left the room and you're a little kid and you're

281
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,200
with your mom, Yeah, she tells you all this, shiit

282
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,799
to me. I know he didn't have time. And then

283
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,679
you go, okay, so that's what was really going on there. Yeah,

284
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
And after a while you come to realize once you speak,

285
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,200
you know, you speak the language, you know how to duck.

286
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,080
I'm really good at.

287
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Is your mom still alive?

288
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: Your mom my parents are still married there, yea.

289
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,879
Speaker 1: And so they've seen your success.

290
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: Yes, And I talk about my mom and stand up

291
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:39,720
much to her dismay. She can't stand it. Yeah, she

292
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,919
hates it. I call it Scarlett O'Hara and blackface. It's

293
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,440
fucking true. Okay, so sweet and surpe with fucking knives

294
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:49,039
underneath that.

295
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: Well, that's the southern thing. Where'd you grow up?

296
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: Born in Mobile, Alabama, grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, Tallahassee, Florida, Orangeburg, South.

297
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,399
Speaker 1: Care Yeah, okay, because my my son just moved back

298
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:06,720
with me and he was in Athens, Alabama, outside of Huntsville. Yeah, yeah,

299
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,720
which is more northern Alabama. Yeah, so you were down

300
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:11,639
more to the south and the Yes.

301
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:13,679
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you your son's down there in the real

302
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:14,799
La Alabama.

303
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Yes, he would. Well, he's back here with me now, Ahay,

304
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200
he did, but he was there for four years. Four years.

305
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:23,120
It was It was interesting.

306
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: It's a different culture.

307
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: It is a different culture. I went to see him

308
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,159
a couple of times. You know, my whole life has

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,440
been in New York State, either here or down by

310
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
the city. By New York City. I didn't know any

311
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:36,519
of this stuff.

312
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: No, No, it's easy for you to get confused. You

313
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,000
gotta learn the difference between fenna and fixing. If I

314
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:49,279
say I'm fixing to whoop your eyes, I got plenty

315
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,600
of stuff to fix for I get around whipping your as,

316
00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:54,480
so he's pretty much safe. But if I say I'm

317
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,039
finnah slapping ship out of you, you best duck right there,

318
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,440
because it's finna happened, because that's what fine means.

319
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,159
Speaker 1: So it's so funny you say that. I just said

320
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:05,559
my son uses fixing, fixing and Finnan all the time.

321
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:06,759
Speaker 3: They're part of the language.

322
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:11,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's been here since August September really with

323
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:15,159
me and uh, you know was born here originally when

324
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,039
he my mom or my mom his mom and I split,

325
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,559
she went it down because her brother was a West

326
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:26,120
Point graduate when he left the Army government job. Huntsville area, right,

327
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,279
So they're doing a lot there. It's expanding big. I

328
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,519
think one of the big things that happened down there

329
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:35,240
was a BUCkies went in on the way to Huntsville,

330
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,840
just outside Athens, and they had a pop up concert

331
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,559
with some country star. I think it was Nicole Kidman's husband.

332
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320
What's it. Yeah, Keith Urban did a.

333
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,559
Speaker 3: Pop up at at the BUCkies by the way, on

334
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,440
behalf of Keith Irber and I'm offended. Go ahead somewhere

335
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:54,159
Keith Aper.

336
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,919
Speaker 1: Just said what the hell he did?

337
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:56,759
Speaker 3: What?

338
00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just messing. And I like Keith Urban's music.

339
00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:03,840
I'm not as familiar with that.

340
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 3: I understand how you might have been more attractive to

341
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:10,240
the chest puppies. Yes, yes, yes, Nicole Kidman and missed

342
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:11,480
Keith And by the way.

343
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean another one who's doing a ton of movies

344
00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:17,000
these days. Nicole Kidman's in like a ship ton of work.

345
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 3: She listened. She is a beast. She stays in it.

346
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,799
I mean ever since she was naked on, stays in London.

347
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,440
She's been with Tom Cruise back in the day. She is,

348
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,240
she has been with it. I know her as Q

349
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,839
Tip's girlfriend. So I'm trying to trying to wrap my

350
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,279
head around this whole. You went from hip hop from

351
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,079
track off west the country. This Australian girl travels, Yeah

352
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,160
she does, she does, Yeah, and an equal opportunity employer.

353
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: So God blessed. So are you still writing your own

354
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,759
stuff now?

355
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

356
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Of course yeah, I mean besides the stand up is

357
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:57,720
my thing.

358
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm producing a bunch of I mean,

359
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,480
I've always writing, so that's always kind of been the job.

360
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,880
You know, you get thrown into it at different times.

361
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,799
Sometimes you know you don't want to, but you do,

362
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000
which is what happened on American Gods. But you know,

363
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,039
they asked me to write, and suddenly I write and

364
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,079
produce the show. And I wasn't really planning on that,

365
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,960
but I'm a neo Gamon fan and I thought I

366
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
understood the mythology well enough to do that, So I

367
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:21,039
did it. So I write and produce a lot, fix

368
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:22,880
a lot of stuff come in and you know, play

369
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,039
fixer or write something. I helped, you know, Nick Cannon

370
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,920
launch wild'n Out he did.

371
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,519
Speaker 1: I love that show. I have loved that show for

372
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,319
years with my absolute favorites.

373
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,279
Speaker 3: I love you know, I did the first episode of it.

374
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I have sling now and it's doing for I don't

375
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,240
get to watch a lot of TV these days, and

376
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:42,519
we're all life. It's the golden age of television, though,

377
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:45,200
is it not really a way? Like every if you

378
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:47,400
have a project, you have an idea, if you can

379
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,000
get it.

380
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,799
Speaker 3: Moving, it was that that that era has now passed, Okay,

381
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,759
but it was the golden age because they stopped making movies.

382
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,119
They were really kind of yeah, and they started doing

383
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:08,160
either cheap horror comedies with Jennifer Aniston, oh Larry right,

384
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,960
or they stop making action comedies like you know, the

385
00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:14,440
Rush Hours and forty eight Hours and those type of movies, right,

386
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,720
and they all turned into like you know, Marvel movies

387
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:22,920
with comedy, right, and suddenly Iron Man is just right,

388
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,160
and you're like, what happened? So they kind of moved

389
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,000
away from it, and all of those interesting writers moved

390
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,680
to television because that's how you got your movie. You

391
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,880
took your movie and you redeveloped it as a series.

392
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,359
Oh right, And then it started to go to pay

393
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,960
TV and premium television, and that's how we wound up

394
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,880
with where we are right now.

395
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,839
Speaker 1: Well, there seems to be just so when I say

396
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:46,200
golden Age, so many opportunities. Now I even see that

397
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,880
two B's has an original yes, right, and they were

398
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,359
just sort of recycling shows. You could get all your

399
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,680
TV shows for free, But now they have an original

400
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359
movie comming. So all I'm saying is there seems to

401
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
be more opportunity. Are we getting better stuff? I don't know.

402
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: Well you're not, and there is, and there is an opportunity, right,

403
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,000
It's kind of two sides of the same coin. So

404
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,880
I would put it to you like this right to

405
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:13,160
b has made its money grabbing other content and then

406
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,240
making ad dollars off of it, right, And what everybody

407
00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:21,480
came to realize was advertising business and television business are

408
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:25,319
the same business. It's really television is the advertising business.

409
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:28,519
So if you don't have a way to collect advertising dollars,

410
00:20:28,759 --> 00:20:31,559
you're going to have a problem. So you saw Amazon

411
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,319
add in an advertising tier. You see Netflix adding advertising.

412
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: Tear Max, which I pay for correct now running edge, Okay.

413
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: So that they all finally realize that it's always been

414
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:46,759
the advertising business, right. So in the advertising business, there

415
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:48,640
are things that a brand wants to be attached to

416
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:50,799
and things the brand doesn't want to be attached to.

417
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,480
So that means the riskier, more crazy content is always

418
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:57,839
going to be lessened in the advertising model and in

419
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,559
the non advertising I'm just getting my mind he paid

420
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,799
from subscribers every week model. I can do House of

421
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,720
Cards and kill a dog in the first episode, but

422
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:09,039
you ain't killing no dog in the first episode with

423
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,039
any sponsor.

424
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,839
Speaker 1: No, you're not attached to you, right, and that that's

425
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:16,359
not happening there. To me, that's the controller of free speech.

426
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: That is correct, And that is why I say stand

427
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:22,160
up is the last bastion of free speech. And even

428
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,279
here it's limited because in the digital world, people can

429
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,880
get offended by anything and take what you said in

430
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,880
the moment out of context, put it out into the world,

431
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,559
and suddenly a lynch mob is coming for you.

432
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 4: Even with AI, they can even said that they can

433
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,079
make you say it. That's right.

434
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,559
Speaker 3: And I tell people all the time like honestly, like

435
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,480
I don't give offense and like it's a gift. I

436
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:48,079
wrap up and handed it to you. Okay, of fence.

437
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,279
You see, you don't include me in the decision making process.

438
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: You know that's interesting because I will often say it.

439
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,519
I've said on the podcast, there is no meaning to

440
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,039
life other than the meaning you give it. There's no

441
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,680
meaning to any moment other than the me you give it.

442
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,319
Speaker 3: I threw bitch in the air. You claimed it as

443
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,200
your own. I wasn't talking to you, bitch.

444
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: I was just talking.

445
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: I was just so. I wasn't directed at you, Okay.

446
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,960
Like swimming in the ocean, if you get bit by

447
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,119
a shark, well that's where the shark lives. That's why

448
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,599
they make swimming pools. Yes, And I often think the

449
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,400
same thing with that.

450
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,839
Speaker 1: You went into their house, right.

451
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: They got a pool. Right over here, they got nothing

452
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:28,480
starting to pool. You don't want to get bit by

453
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,960
a shark. You came into a comedy club, you got

454
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,119
into a conversation with someone who's trying to be provocative.

455
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Expect that they might say something that perks your ear

456
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:39,119
and making.

457
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Has anything ever come back like that on you kidding?

458
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,319
Speaker 7: Just today, just today?

459
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: Tell him about the email when we was at the

460
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,160
other show that I got, the woman was saying, Hey,

461
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,359
what is her Lando show? Is there any profanity in

462
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,960
his show? I got an email asking about that.

463
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 7: Today this morning. I'm like and I answered very professionally.

464
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,599
I said, you know, he's not overly profane.

465
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: But there will be some words that are definitely considered rated,

466
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:05,759
are right?

467
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 7: You know, our shows are geared towards twenty one.

468
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:10,079
Speaker 3: The idea that you think about now, if you ask

469
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,920
that same person who your favorite comedians are, they'll list

470
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,240
off seven ten people, nothing but curse.

471
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Exactly right.

472
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: But by the same token, I need to be a

473
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,039
special kind of clean because I don't want to, you know,

474
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:22,920
impugne her ears because she's never heard these words before,

475
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,880
and it would be me soiling her integrity.

476
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,799
Speaker 6: Well, the problem is for him, some people don't understand

477
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,240
that there's a thing Google Like, no one ever went

478
00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,720
to a Friday night and said, hey, honey, let's go

479
00:23:34,759 --> 00:23:37,079
to a music show tonight, and then when you sit

480
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,759
down and go, gee, I hope it's jazz.

481
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,079
Speaker 7: You know.

482
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:43,599
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying comedy needs to be genified,

483
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,720
and it takes you to actually go to Google and say,

484
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,440
who is this person? I mean, the greatest quote of

485
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,880
all time is Lenny Bruce. And a comedy does not

486
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,720
need to be polite.

487
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: No, no, it's not meant to be. It's your job

488
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,079
to pointing out the absurdities on the wrongs right and

489
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,559
how we act. I mean, I still think All in

490
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:09,440
the Family is one of the best shows. I'll see

491
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,839
the clips of that, only because you're showing the absurdity

492
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,839
of somebody thinking right the way they thought it was.

493
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:21,839
We all knew somebody, yes, and we all knew somebody

494
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,160
who was that way, and that's what made it funny

495
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,279
because and we got to see and maybe made a

496
00:24:28,319 --> 00:24:29,960
difference and we went, oh shit, I don't want to

497
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,680
be that guy. My thinking's flawed.

498
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 3: The funniest part about this show is that's what they

499
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,359
thought they were doing, That's what normally thought he was doing,

500
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,519
and then they realized that wasn't the case. Most people

501
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:44,400
just agreed with it, yes and no, yes and no.

502
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,400
I am of the opinion. I enjoyed the fact that

503
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,279
I think people are entitled to their own opinion and

504
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:51,440
they really don't need to agree with you, right, and

505
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,640
they can hold views that you disagree with, like who

506
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,480
gives something? Really like if we can't do that, Like, listen,

507
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,079
there's somebody in your family and in yours two and

508
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,519
in yours two that falls into a category that somebody

509
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,400
else would think that they were less than because of

510
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,000
their views.

511
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,839
Speaker 1: Yes, but that ain't how you know them.

512
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: You know them as a person who loved you and

513
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,119
cared for you and.

514
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: Took care of people.

515
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,319
Speaker 3: So which are they? The one who actually was there

516
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,640
for you? Are the monster that this stranger says? They

517
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,200
are right? And we all have that right, but we don't.

518
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,400
We don't act like those people have a place to

519
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,599
live in anymore. And I believe that they do have

520
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,799
a I love those people, right, I tell people all

521
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:32,359
the time, I love racists. Please, I think racism I do. Listen,

522
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440
I know I know plenty of people who are kind

523
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,279
of racist, but that don't mean they're bad people. And racism,

524
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,759
I believe is misdiagnosed. This is just my belief. Okay,

525
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,039
Racism is an extra benefit you get. Racism does not

526
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,519
mean you're an asshole. It means you get this extra

527
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,440
benefit because you're this that's you're white, so you get

528
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,480
an extra benefit. Oh yeah, that's all it is. It

529
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:57,519
doesn't mean you're a bad person. It doesn't mean you're

530
00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:00,480
a jerk. It doesn't mean anything to do with your character. Yeah,

531
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,039
but now people have made it into this word where

532
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:05,079
you say it, and now it's this label you get.

533
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: You like, I don't want to be racist.

534
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 4: Be racist.

535
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,079
Speaker 3: You didn't ask for the benefit, Yeah, you never. Not

536
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,000
a white guy in this room was born and was like,

537
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:16,920
give me this extra benefit.

538
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,759
Speaker 1: Oh there's gonna be held at that. Not a samele

539
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:22,839
one of you asked, right, But you got.

540
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,759
Speaker 3: It whether you wanted it.

541
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,759
Speaker 1: Oh, I can tell you I got it. And I'm

542
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:32,160
more more aware, maybe hyper aware these days. My brother

543
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,519
in law is his dad was the diplomat from Somalia. Okay,

544
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,359
so my niece and nephew are mixed, and my sister

545
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,839
is Irish like me, Rachel by Rachel, and very very

546
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,799
worried about little things. There was a time in preschool

547
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,000
we're going back to little kid he would strip off

548
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,680
all his clothes and be naked, and my brother in

549
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:58,400
law would pick him up and was very upset because

550
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,759
he said the rules are different. Other was like, oh,

551
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:03,640
it's laughing, it's a little boy. It doesn't matter, and

552
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,799
he goes, no, the rules are different. The rules are different.

553
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:10,519
Now that's yeah, See, that's ship. I'd never when you

554
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,240
talk about because I think people get offended and angry

555
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:16,319
when you say white privilege. What the fuck do you

556
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:18,640
mean white privilege? I just have to work. I sacrifice

557
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,759
that white I could take that ship, I could take

558
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,200
my clothes off and everybody goes, look at the cute

559
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,359
little toddler.

560
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,599
Speaker 3: Right, Or the fact that you do something and you're

561
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,680
seen as somebody's son. Yes, yes, so you're seen as

562
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,119
a human where somebody else do something and they're seen

563
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,759
as not right.

564
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:38,799
Speaker 1: Right, But again, that is ship. That though, but people

565
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:41,480
don't see it never gets talked about.

566
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: And never ever but the truth.

567
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: We always want the conversation, but we never have it correct.

568
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,319
Speaker 3: But I think because we miss diagnosed, we miss defined racism.

569
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,519
So now white people think racism is this horrible thing

570
00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:56,920
that's getting thrust upon them, when it's really just a

571
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,920
privilege that you fucking have that you really had no

572
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,440
say so in getting or not getting a gut inscribed

573
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,240
into the law, And that's what it is. So to me,

574
00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:07,160
if we saw it properly, it would be easier to

575
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,759
see the other person as human, not the other person

576
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,519
as this Right.

577
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,759
Speaker 1: It's amazing, I do exactly because you know, I'm thinking, like,

578
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720
I feel like I could walk in anywhere, Mark, I

579
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,880
feel like I could walk into Oak Hill Country Club

580
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,599
and fit in, and I could walk into wherever and

581
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,480
never be questioned.

582
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 6: Let's go to the nineteenth ward today and see how

583
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:35,359
you no, but in my bubble right in my bike again,

584
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,279
that's what I'm saying.

585
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: But you're right. At the same time, there would be

586
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:42,119
that I wouldn't. I wouldn't fit in.

587
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: Those are isolated places right of the world. You straight,

588
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:49,680
you're good, Right, I have to be more conscious of

589
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,519
what that is. But it doesn't mean I necessarily can't go.

590
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:55,519
And and here's the most important part. Right, no matter

591
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:57,319
who you are, you got to cross the bear, okay,

592
00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:01,640
trust Okay, kids in Gaza across the bear, different different,

593
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,799
different kids, and some all you got across the bear.

594
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480
And right now, rich kids in Los Angeles who just

595
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:10,000
had their entire lives burnt up, right, say what you

596
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:11,640
want them might be rich kids who had to move

597
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,359
to their second home, right, But the sucks. It doesn't

598
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,519
mean that they're not going through something, right, but you

599
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:18,640
got to see people as human and what they can't

600
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,720
see all the shit around.

601
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: Where do you live, by the way, since you brought

602
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:21,880
the I.

603
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:24,119
Speaker 3: Live in Joshua Tree in Beverly Hills, So I left

604
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:25,960
the fires still burning and came here.

605
00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I just want you to close to your

606
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,519
home and all. Oh yeah, I could see it, yeah

607
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,720
because we had we talked to Slayton the other day.

608
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:35,880
Oh yeah, and it was just like twelve miles from

609
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Bobby's house. Yeah, he was saying it came close. And

610
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,119
he said he's up on a cannon where the winds

611
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:43,079
at times can hit sixty seventy.

612
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 7: He said, it was like Hurricane Wins.

613
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the seventeenth floor of a high rise right

614
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,759
on Wiltshire and Beverly Hills. And I can literally see it, like,

615
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,160
and the winds were one hundred miles an hour faster

616
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,799
than the Santa Ana's normally are. And look fire started

617
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:02,039
and and you know it burnt up one of the

618
00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:04,960
richiest places in town. And now those folks.

619
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: Well, the crazy thing is, like, I mean, even with

620
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:10,279
the fire, hydras and think you're not expecting an entire

621
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,920
neighborhood to burn a house a house, But I got it.

622
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: But think about it, think about it. They've been a

623
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,680
drought in California. How long? Twenty five years California. Okay,

624
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,440
all right, these sons of biscuits didn't bury no power

625
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,559
lines like y'all do here.

626
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:26,119
Speaker 4: All right, this is what I've been saying.

627
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,039
Speaker 1: Okay, they didn't.

628
00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:29,079
Speaker 3: Bury nothing, but they got all up about Okay, s

629
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,480
C and Gen left the power on even though they

630
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:35,400
knew one hundred mile an hour winds were coming. And

631
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,319
what did those hundred mile and hour winds do? Knock

632
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:39,319
over those They knocked over the power lines, and what

633
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:41,440
did they do? They fell in the brush. And what

634
00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:44,039
happened the brushes? The drought for twenty five years? And

635
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,200
then the fire happened. And guess what stoked the fire,

636
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:49,559
the wind, and then it blew and burned and blew

637
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:52,640
and burned. Now that's not really a politician's fault. That's

638
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,680
really more about.

639
00:30:54,079 --> 00:30:56,279
Speaker 4: It wasn't It wasn't a guy eating a cat. Yeah,

640
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,079
started a fire with the thing.

641
00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 3: That's what a Hollywood fire started.

642
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,599
Speaker 4: The cat. It was reality, yes, real life.

643
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,839
Speaker 3: The guy eating the cat was in Hollywood, and he

644
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,119
was like, this cat is devicious, but it would taste

645
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480
bad if it was more charge. So he was fat.

646
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: It said Hollywood on damn fire.

647
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,759
Speaker 3: Okay, because there's arson right and loving, Yes.

648
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: There is, there's both. But I've wondered. Look, power lines

649
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,720
are still above ground here too. I lived in the

650
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,160
neighborhood in Pittsford that had him above ground web. Yeah,

651
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,880
and the newer ones they start putting them Underground's right?

652
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,839
Is there too much rock in the Malibu area to

653
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,119
bury those power lines? Because that's the stuff that I mean,

654
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,960
Malibu gets winds all the time.

655
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,119
Speaker 3: Look, the topography is what it is. You're talking about

656
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,279
mountains going into ocean. The topography is really crazy. And

657
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:49,839
see in California and this stuff was built a long

658
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,799
time ago, like they're talking. When I first moved to California. Dude,

659
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:55,079
I saw houses hanging off the side of the mountains

660
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:57,240
and they were like going in and have a good time.

661
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:58,559
And I don't know the hell.

662
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,119
Speaker 1: Four holding up there? Had it wrong with you? Half

663
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:05,680
this house is hanging off the side. We'll be fine,

664
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:06,559
Like how do I know that?

665
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't know? Y'all like that and and then the

666
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,000
mudslides came and those houses slid. Yeah, they did, right,

667
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:17,519
So I wasn't altogether nuts. No, these things were built

668
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:19,559
a long time ago. And you can't convince me, though

669
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:23,440
built from better materials, that the building codes were as

670
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:26,279
such that they were really thinking about the world as

671
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:27,079
it is today.

672
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:27,759
Speaker 1: Exactly.

673
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:30,319
Speaker 3: So when I look at these areas that are, you

674
00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:33,880
know they have some foliage las the desert, it is

675
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:37,160
a lot of the foliage they brought in, frankly, right,

676
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:39,559
and going out into the ocean, you're going to get some.

677
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,160
But you know it happened, right, But we've been watching

678
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:47,039
Remember when the floods happened in North Carolina? Yes, remember that, Yes,

679
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,079
and rednecktro Ti.

680
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: I lost everything, tried to find my truck is gone

681
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:54,319
off from my wife.

682
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: It's like a country song. Everyone nobody gave ship, nobody.

683
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Nobody, no, but he did give a shit, right, absolutely right.

684
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 3: So here I am. Now these horrible people, many with

685
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:08,000
your friends of mine, you know. And Mel Gibson lost

686
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:10,480
his house, like I'm devastated. I mean, it's just I

687
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:12,799
cry every day because I just don't give a shit.

688
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,559
I know, I lost all of my stuff and to

689
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,319
black mold in twenty fourteen.

690
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,079
Speaker 1: That's the worst.

691
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:26,279
Speaker 3: Then I got hit by a hurricane in twenty sixteen,

692
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:29,079
lost everything again. And then I got hit by again

693
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,440
in twenty eighteen. Where was the Where was the hurricane

694
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,200
when you get to North Carolina? Oh God, So I

695
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,160
got hit shit. I didn't care when I lost my

696
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,680
own shit because I realized it was just stuff. After

697
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,359
the first time, I was like, I'm gonna have to

698
00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:43,319
get over this, you know what I mean. But so

699
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,480
I didn't care when I lost my own stuff. So

700
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:48,720
I don't feel bad about not caring about other people stuff,

701
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,720
especially when you got to move to your second home

702
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,599
in the four seasons and sort it out for a year.

703
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,160
Like these are not regular people.

704
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,279
Speaker 1: These are not regular people. Are not regularly But some

705
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:57,839
of the neighborhoods were more.

706
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,359
Speaker 3: Readina that traditionally black man hood. There about six or

707
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:05,200
seven fires. There are plenty of places where real people

708
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:07,880
lost their stuff. I am not convinced that the government

709
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,079
is going to step in and help them.

710
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't needs that they need.

711
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: I agree with you, I believe, and that's true even

712
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,199
for the rich people. I don't believe they're gonna get this.

713
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be a pain in

714
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,280
the ass to try to rebuild. Try to rebuild anything,

715
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,880
get a fucking permit for anything in la anywhere, but

716
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:21,760
l a try it.

717
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,039
Speaker 3: Try try to do anything in California, and it's gonna

718
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:26,679
cost you more. It's California.

719
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 4: It's then when they do rebuild, if they are underground. April.

720
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, her house was right smacked in the middle of everything.

721
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: She shall be a picture.

722
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 7: Every single building around her building completely destroyed.

723
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 6: Her building did not burn down, but she says it's

724
00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:48,639
still inhabitable because just the area all you can't She's like,

725
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,519
you're not even going to be able to go into

726
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:55,159
this areawhere years Oh yeah, there's a lot. She's like,

727
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:57,760
there's nothing in that apartment that I own that's going

728
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,639
to be good. It's all going to be saturated with smoke, smell,

729
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:01,679
all my clothes water.

730
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 7: But it's like, I'm not even going back.

731
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: It's gone.

732
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 7: She's like, it's gone.

733
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: That's amazing, he's gone. My parents house burned down, but

734
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,920
it was just their house. And what you lose isn't

735
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,920
the stuff. The stuff you can replace, Like you said,

736
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,199
you can get plates, you can get the couch, you

737
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,519
can get what you can't replace or all the pictures,

738
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:20,920
the memories.

739
00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: But since we went digital, it's it's all on a

740
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,599
cloud and you're trying. So that's not your issue. To

741
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,079
the point, I look at it this way, the one

742
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,000
thing in this world that is special, for real, for

743
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:36,039
real is you. You're really the one of one, right, and

744
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:39,559
taking care of that one of one for me is

745
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:42,800
number one. They can make more ease and moidise and

746
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,639
moretos and more ease and more those they just manufacture more, right,

747
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,400
So they'll manufacture more and you'll move on with your life.

748
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480
But hopefully you got out with your life, which is

749
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:54,000
the most important thing. And that's what I hope for them,

750
00:35:54,039 --> 00:35:56,400
is to be able to rebuild in a happier you know,

751
00:35:56,519 --> 00:35:57,880
space and place, what have you.

752
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: But that is one of the coolest motherfuckers I've ever Yeah,

753
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:05,119
I'm sorry, that is. You are one of the coolest.

754
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 6: You get life, man, I've been hanging with him all day.

755
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. Yeah, oh Ben, he probably you're right.

756
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:15,960
It's definitely a downgrade.

757
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,679
Speaker 3: Fact alone, I disagree, but.

758
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,119
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, hey, man, I've been booking in

759
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:24,760
probably about I don't know maybe twenty years, maybe fifteen,

760
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,800
I don't know, from the old club. And he's one

761
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,719
of the best hags, best human beings.

762
00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's comedy for me, right. Comedy is when we

763
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,320
get to do this, We get to share ideas, we

764
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,480
get to see each other, we get to laugh, yeah,

765
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,039
hopefully stay in touch. And then we have some kids,

766
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:41,320
and then the kids feel some connection because we had

767
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,159
a connection, and they help each other move through this

768
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,559
ship back called life. That for me is it. I

769
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:47,159
don't know what else this s billshits about.

770
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't either. I agree with you.

771
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:51,079
Speaker 4: If you're looking to share, he's looking. His dream is

772
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:52,719
to write a Hallmark movie. You want to share an

773
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,480
idea with.

774
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,599
Speaker 3: All you got to do is make it a Christmas

775
00:36:56,639 --> 00:37:01,960
because I know Christmas. This is always a Hallmark movement.

776
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: I know all the stuff you've done. I mean, what

777
00:37:04,559 --> 00:37:07,639
a career dude. When you look back Mad TV and

778
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:12,159
you go on, no idea for Saturday Night Live sketch comedy,

779
00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:14,840
Where did that come from? Because that's a different animal.

780
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,119
Speaker 3: I did it with Mad TV already. I felt like, yeah,

781
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:19,199
I did it, and you know in the nineties, so

782
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,800
you know I got that sketch comedy thing. I scratched

783
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,159
that itch. Yeah, I'm probably I got two new nonscripted

784
00:37:27,159 --> 00:37:29,519
shows that I'm doing on networks which are coming out

785
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:32,800
this year, The hot List and takes on History. And

786
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,239
then I have Family Business, New Orleans, which is launching

787
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,960
on BT and Netflix in January this month. And then

788
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,079
I have a new movie coming out called Trouble Man

789
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:44,239
with Michael Ji White and La La Anthony, Mike Apps,

790
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,639
Method Man and what have you, and Okay, that's hitting

791
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:49,079
the theater. So I tend to just look for try

792
00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:51,119
and find stuff that's more interesting, Yeah, and try and

793
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:53,920
find a character that I haven't hopefully played yet already,

794
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,679
something like that.

795
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: And what about right here on? I mean, as we

796
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,880
said before we started, a barrier to entry's gone. You

797
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,719
can do a movie on your iPhone, so to speak.

798
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,440
We saw these independence right. It started in the nineties

799
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,119
to a certain extent that where Witch Project is what

800
00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:13,679
I'm thinking. But yeah, you're probably right the seventies. But

801
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,039
these kind of things that and when you got a

802
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:18,280
head like yours, man, you could write.

803
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 3: You know, I write a lot for other people. Yeah,

804
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,280
a lot of my job. Beyonce, his father Matthew Knowles

805
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,599
and her previous manager. I write all of his stuff.

806
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:29,039
I'm his writer. Really yeah, yeah, you know, I'm probably

807
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:31,159
writing six or seven shows and running two or three

808
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,119
right now, just the sort of you know, in the

809
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:36,800
writing producing see dude. So yeah, for me, it's a

810
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,320
lot of fun. I mean there's just you know, there's

811
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,960
the acting world and there's what you do there. And

812
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,480
I've had a marketing branding company for you know, since

813
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:47,280
I was eighteen years old. So Homeboy Homeboys Productions was

814
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,360
the original company. We then transition to a company called

815
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,800
Legion of Creatives. We won the first Virtual Reality Emmy

816
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:00,760
for working in VR and ar Wow and now company

817
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,480
now I work with rebranded as a drive Bys always

818
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,519
in my company drive By Entertainment. So drive By and

819
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:11,280
PHM Media are the two that I work with the most.

820
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,679
And yeah, we're you know, we're developing a bunch of stuff.

821
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:18,639
We sold a bunch of stuff and writing and show running.

822
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,960

826
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,440

827
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:38,360
by eight point fifteen. Yeah, usually my youngest. And then

828
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,679
I'm usually rolling calls from eight thirty to ten thirty,

829
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,440
and then I have to kind of sit down and write,

830
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:50,960
depending on what deadlines i'm on, probably until around two

831
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:54,599
o'clock or so. Pick the girls up from school, get

832
00:39:54,639 --> 00:39:57,480

and then five point thirty, get and are ready and whatnot.

00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:03,719
Girls go to bed, and then I write from probably

about nine o'clock until midnight.

836
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: Or so, and then you get up again at four.

837
00:40:08,519 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: Then I got it. Yeah, that's my Did you.

838
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 4: Write all this ship down? Captain out?

839
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Look? Can't you.

840
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 4: Can't figure shit out?

841
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: No, but he's he's writing seven shows. Here's the thing, Okay,

842
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:22,760
So I just read an article that was fucking up

843
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,920
my head a little bit about how important sleep is. Yes,

844
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,000
and then you can't get caught up on sleep and

845
00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:30,519
that you really need the eight hours and stuff. So

846
00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:33,000
I've been trying to do that, but I feel like

847
00:40:33,199 --> 00:40:36,079
if you really got a motor, you can't sleep.

848
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: Look, after four or five hours, I'm just gonna wake up.

849
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,880
It just kind of is what it is. That's just

850
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:45,559
my body. Yeah, and you know you got a factor

851
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:48,360
in that. I'm I'm vegan. I've been vegan for thirty

852
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,400
seven years. Okay, I'm gluten free.

853
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:54,039
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm starting to believe that all that helps tremendous.

854
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 3: And I don't eat night shades, and my body is

855
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,239
pretty much still. I still feel like.

856
00:40:58,199 --> 00:41:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm doing things like tomatoes or.

857
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 3: Yes, eggplant, peppers in particular pepper peppers really yeah, because

858
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
they're inflammatories. That's why Tom Brady was always talking about

859
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,440
him and Giselle never eat peppers. That write a whole

860
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,199
book about it. It's because peppers are got it for Christmas.

861
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,400
I did get it for Christmas and other nights, well

862
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:19,960
you when you get around. So yeah, So it's no

863
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:22,039
night shades, right because of the INFLAMMATORI So I've been

864
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:24,320
doing that for thirty seven thirty eight years. So I

865
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,639
have a lot of energy. That's just my natural energy thing.

866
00:41:28,039 --> 00:41:30,079
And when I get tired, don't get me wrong, I'll

867
00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:33,159
just shut it down and sleep. But it's scheduled, and

868
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:35,599
to be fair, I have a team and they keep

869
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:38,880
me organized. And the luxury for me is do you.

870
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,559
Speaker 1: Have a partner of the girls you're doing it all yourself.

871
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 3: You single parent, Well, no, I'm a single parent me

872
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,800
and my extra divorce. Yeah, yea, yeah, we share customers,

873
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,440
a lot of the girls and everything. That's it.

874
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 4: That's it.

875
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

876
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,199
Speaker 3: And then of course if I don't have the girls,

877
00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:56,000
then yes, it changes. Just hanging with my girl and

878
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,800
I've got you know, I've got all day to work

879
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,920
right in those days. So with my life being that

880
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,880
way and uh and wanting to be a super involved

881
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,079
parent because my daughters are my life, like I love them.

882
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,119
They're HILARI yes, but they're amazing. How eight and fourteen?

883
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,639
Speaker 1: Oh, perfect, dude, the best, perfect, the best.

884
00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 3: I remember moments that I'll never forget. I'll never forget

885
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,280
with that. I remember coming home from Sleepy Hollow. We

886
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,639
work nights on Sleepy Hollow. And I pull up to

887
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:23,440
our house and in front of the bay window is

888
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,280
my daughter and she's standing on a chair in the

889
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,880
dining room giving me the middle finger. It ain't even

890
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:31,199
sup o'clock.

891
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: In the fucking morning, the middle I love that.

892
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 3: I close the door. I walk up to the house.

893
00:42:39,559 --> 00:42:44,079
Manna Senna Fenna, whooms, some ass was about to have

894
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:47,639
She comes off the chair and she goes daddy, I

895
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,639
cut my finger.

896
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: She's holding the middle finger like that.

897
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, of course I do. Oh boo boo, daddy,

898
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,320
going to get better. I pick her up, I kiss her.

899
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,760
I take her into the kitchen and my ex wife

900
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,960
is standing there. She goes put her down right now.

901
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:07,239
I'm like, what the fuck is happening right now? Why

902
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,480
are you so mad? She goes, your daughter told me

903
00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:12,800
to kiss her ass this morning, okay. And then she

904
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,800
heard you pull up in the driveway, and she went

905
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,960
and pulled out a chair in the living room and

906
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:19,199
told you to kiss her ass with the middle finger.

907
00:43:19,519 --> 00:43:21,760
And then you came in and she lied and said

908
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
she cut her finger and made you kiss her ass again.

909
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:30,000
That's a smart kid, I And she said it's funny, daddy, Yes,

910
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,840
And I went, you're right, it is funny. And that's

911
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:39,639
when I knew I was getting divorced because my disrespectful

912
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:41,320
I'm like, okay, but it is funny.

913
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:44,119
Speaker 4: You get none of that fourteen year old teenage sass.

914
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 3: Though, Yes, but I welcome it. She's smart. You're supposed

915
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,559
to say something smart, bat I want to say something

916
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:52,199
stupid back. Yeah, I mean, be respectful, but you can

917
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,719
have a thought. I mean, I'm not mad at you

918
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:54,239
for that.

919
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: That's what I always think.

920
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get my kids and I get along really

921
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,599
really well, you know. I mean, she knows what the

922
00:43:59,639 --> 00:44:01,119
rules are. I don't have to say nothing.

923
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:04,599
Speaker 1: I've become as an older parent now right. I have

924
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,960
two older sons in their early twenties, but with my

925
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,800
fourteen year old, I think of myself more as a matador.

926
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:13,119
I see something I don't like you doing, I'm not

927
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:15,079
gonna yell. I'm not gonna stop. I'm not going to

928
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,159
tell you like my parents, you need your head examined.

929
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,800
I'm gonna wave a red thing and go, come on

930
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,400
over here, let's try this. Let's get over here. So

931
00:44:22,679 --> 00:44:25,760
you feel like you have some power and you're making

932
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,800
some decisions, let's just make them right. But I don't

933
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:28,400
need to yell you.

934
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 3: Look, they're little humans, yes, and if you don't respect

935
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,880
the fact they're little, ye, they're just gonna tell you

936
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,079
to screw off because little humans. So I just try

937
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:38,440
and be like, look, i'm not hitting. I made the

938
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,280
same mistakes you made, so I'm not here to tell

939
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,400
you I'm perfect. I'm here to tell you can keep

940
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,039
that bullshit up. And this how it's going to end

941
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,480
up got nothing to do with me, Popa exactly getting

942
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,760
your knees if you won't to Yes, yes, that's what

943
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,199
I say.

944
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: I always say the same. That's a funny thing because

945
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,840
I always say you need to skin your knee, you

946
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,800
to learn, because you need to hit it is.

947
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,679
Speaker 3: So listen, if my ex wife had skinned her knees,

948
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,159
she wouldn't have been the paint and asses she was.

949
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,719
She married me and I covered up all the problems.

950
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,880
So by the time we got divorced, she was talking

951
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,559
like she was a genius. And I was like, bitch,

952
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:10,440
you had a job the whole time we known each other.

953
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,079
I don't know what you're talking about right now. Used

954
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:15,559
to spend money. That's what you are very very good at.

955
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: That.

956
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,199
Speaker 3: I didn't stop you from a career, right, But you've

957
00:45:18,199 --> 00:45:20,719
never been allowed to skin your knees, right, So I

958
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,000
was like, Yo, go skin your knees, Go figure out,

959
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,800
go go you know, go fall down the covers right

960
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,519
well works.

961
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: For everything from the UH seven up commercials through Orlando Jones.

962
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,199
Catch them at the comedy at the Carlson two shows tonight,

963
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,239
two shows tomorrow night, and you can get tickets by calling.

964
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 7: Nope, go to Carlson Comedy dot com. The phone is,

965
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,880
come on, you got this computer.

966
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: Because these shows are gonna shell out and you're gonna

967
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,559
miss out because I I don't know this for a fact,

968
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:57,199
but I would think that you're gonna leave there feeling

969
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,320
better than you walked down. He helps up.

970
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,639
Speaker 6: I mean, every single person last night was gunt wrench

971
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,199
bent over in their seats.

972
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: It's great.

973
00:46:06,119 --> 00:46:08,519
Speaker 3: The guy is I did an hour twenty last night too,

974
00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:12,000
so wow. Yeah, when people come out and do the

975
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:14,360
Thursday night with me, I like to give him a

976
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,559
real show. So I did an hour twenty last night.

977
00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:19,440
I probably keep it tight. The first show will definitely

978
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,480
be probably forty five to an hour, but the second show,

979
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:24,920
you know, we mess around. Who knows how long a you.

980
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,000
I've got like three hours of material, so I don't

981
00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:27,639
really need.

982
00:46:27,519 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: To one of the most talented human beings you're gonna see,

983
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,480
