Lee goes, hey, I saw your tape for this part.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.800
We cast it, but I got this other part.

I think it's gonna be recast.
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:33.039
Another actor had it.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.000
They shot one day.
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:34.960
Lee didn't like it.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:36.320
He goes, but I think you can do this.
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:36.880

00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.840
I go, nigga, I'm drunk.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.799

00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.079

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.000
No, I know that.
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.680
Well, that well, one, this is a different person.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.680
But yes, London or something will happen.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:14.959
Oh, my bad, bruh.
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.599
We tied it.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.239
London had to go do a um, that's hilarious.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.319
That's how we're that's how we're starting the episode.
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.680
London has been replaced by Tom Bell everybody.
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:25.519
What do you mean?
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.319
Light skinned Negroes taking everybody's job.
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.719
I thought I was gonna see all three of you.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.120
Uh no.
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.000
It's like when Charlamagne ain't on the Breakfast Club.
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.280
Like, man, I ain't watching it.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.400
I mean, the other one's cool, but London.
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.319
London had a show in New York.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:40.799
Okay.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:41.920
So he had to leave.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.280
He he sends you his love and he said.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.120
He said he sends you his love.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.879
He said he wishes he could have been he could have been.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:55.519
Uh uh, sorry guys.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.640
Uh uh blessings.
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.599
I gotta piece out.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.599
Um so London is making money.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:08.479
Um, but what we were telling, what we be talking about is like we like when we work you because that just continues to heighten the brand of killing it.
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.199
Um it shows that we out here in the trenches too.
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.280
Um but yeah, so London, London ain't here.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.240
But man, we here, you got it.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:14.879
Hey man, hey man.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.039
I saw BT last night.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.639
I felt like I saw I saw my mom.
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.919
I was like, BT probably go, I need to go to the crib.
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.919
You know, um Reg Thomas was supposed to pull up, but he was so lit uh last night.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.039
I never met him before.
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:31.599

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:34.800
He said y'all was cool.
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.520

He said, like, tell him my man, oh no, I'm there, I'm there.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.280
And I was thinking, I don't know if he's gonna wake up in time to do it, to do it early.
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.319

Trigger warning on Netflix, Netflix.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.599
I can't talk as early.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.319
I was out last night.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.199
It was all out.
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.800
It was all out last night.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.040
Understand what's about to happen.
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:19.519
Yeah.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.480
You're gonna hear drunk talk from dudes that ain't drunk.
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.199
Um The United States versus Billy Holiday.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.560
I got a funny story about that.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.800
Um the fam on CBS, The Flash, oh man.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.240
The truth be told, Bad Judge, Whitney, um, his own special, can't cancel this.
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.399
Drinkmasters, that was on Netflix too, right?
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.439

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.480
No, no, Drinkmasters.
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:43.680
Yeah, Drinkmasters, Netflix too.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:55.199
But where I worked with Tumble Bell was a little hidden gym that got canceled immediately called Jerks with Cameras.
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.160
Oh my god.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:56.959
Nah, give it up.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.399
That ain't even on your MDB.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:03.759
Give it up! Give it up for the one and only Tom Bell, baby.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:04.240
Yeah.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.160
Nah, I gotta I gotta dive in.
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.759
We're gonna start with jerks with cameras, because you already know my story with jerks with cameras.
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.720
You probably already know this.
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:17.759
So man, so anybody that don't know, jerks with cameras was a show on MTV.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.800
So I had already did another show on MTV, it was a prank show.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:20.959
Yeah.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.519
And I did a prank show on MTV called Disaster Day.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:28.000
So, you know, BET had Hell Day, MTV, they had uh Disaster Day.
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.680
So I had already did a show with them.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.399
Then they hit me up and said, yo, we got this other show we want to do, and it's called Jerks with Cameras.
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.040
I was like, cool.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.399
So basically we going around pranking people out on the street, Hollywood Boulevard, North Hollywood, pranking.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.199
So they was like, we gotta find a host.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.399
We need a host.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.639
We need a host.
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.040
And so I was like, oh, okay, well, I can't wait to see who we get.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.240
And so they came to us in a meeting.
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:59.040
They was like, oh my God, we can't we have a star.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.319
Oh, we can't even say who the f it is yet.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.560
We can't say that, but just now, this guy is huge.
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.800
I'm thinking, god damn, who's gonna be the host of this show?
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.399
Now, at the time, Brandon T.
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.759
Jackson was really popping.
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.759
So I said, Oh, I well, I hope it's Brandon T.
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:16.240
Jackson.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.759
That'll really be swell.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.120
You know, that's what I'm thinking.
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.720
So then they said, the next day, I was like, oh my God, are you guys ready?
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:23.360
Drum roll.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.439
I mean, they really they was hyping you up.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
They said, are you ready to find out who your host is?
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.920
We're like, yeah, all me and all the other pranksters.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:30.800
Like, yeah.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.120
They said, tone, bam.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.720
I said, the nigga from the course like commercial.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.720
What commercial you was doing at that time?
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.199

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:39.839
Bud Light.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.319

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:42.720
Middle light.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:43.759
Buddha forget it.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.279
Yeah, I work for Bud Light.
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.199
I got the job of Middle Light.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.519
But but also, I was surprised too.
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:50.319
Okay, go forward.
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.279
I was surprised too.
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.399
But before you get into that, Tone has always been industry hot.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:05.759
And I want to I want to get, or at least outside looking in outside looking in, it appears you have been industry hot at least since, mind you, this was 2014.
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.000
Yeah.
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:06.639
That thing we did.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.480
Yeah, when we did 13 to 14, yeah.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.079
Okay, when we did Jurassic Cameron.
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.720
So to be, and at the time, I was like, well, I could have been the host of this show.
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.079
I'm thinking on some.
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.160
I'll tell you some wild shit that that came up.
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:18.959
Go for it.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.199
So that that okay, so that happened.
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.839
I remember I had finished Whitney.
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.120
I had finished Whitney.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:26.560
Okay, so you had already done Whitney.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.839
So I had done, uh, I got I got my deal.
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.439
NBC shit.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.839
We can go back to that if you want to, but they got the NBC um Standard for Diversity joint.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:36.560
Right, right, right.
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.439
Whitney came, uh Whitney came to, and it was like uh my deal was like seven for 13 back when they used to do those.
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.079
So I'm in 51% of the episodes.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.279
So they go, you're going to work.
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.319
If we shoot 13, you'll be in at least seven.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:53.600
Okay.
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.279
Had some great table reads.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.120
Now I'm in 10 of 13.
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.600
When it gets canceled, I go, shit, I can't believe I got on TV this quick.
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:01.920
Right.
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.000
Now going for my next thing, jerks with cameras comes up.
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.519
There was a do you remember tonight?
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.040
There was a there was a showcase at the improv.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:11.920

Nah, I don't remember.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.240
They were looking for a host.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.160
I wasn't on the showcase, but I went to go chop it up.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.199
I think Grant Cotter was there.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.240
Damn, it was here.
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:25.439
I don't think you were there.
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.480
I feel like I remember this.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.439
Yeah, I don't think you were there.
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.600
Nigga, I'm just hanging out at the bar, meet the people from the production company.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:32.559
This is hilarious.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.159
That's how I got the job.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.000
I wasn't even on the show.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.519
You didn't even perform.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.799

Okay, he is a good looking dude.
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.720
And being a good looking, charismatic, a tad shorter than Will Smith type dude.
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.320
Thank you for the tad.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:55.200

Yeah, that's all right.
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.320
But for real, like that helps.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.159
But what what was the conversation?
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.000
What do you think about you happened in that moment for him to say that?
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:15.120
I knew that was happening, but I did I didn't go for that reason, but I knew the showcase was happening.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.360
But I'm always, I'm always out going.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:30.320
If I if I know uh decision makers are in the room, I'm gonna go go, it may this may not be my thing, but I'm gonna meet somebody to go, man, we got we got something else coming up.
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.240
But that's that's my corporate background going, how do I network on this?
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.840
Then I end up getting that gig.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.519
They call me, because those are the same folks who produce um Jersey Short.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:39.919

Because you never know where somebody might gonna end up.
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:53.679
Yeah.
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.080
I don't, I don't take advantage of people's time.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.320
If you can give it to me, I'm gonna take it.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.080

Oh, oh, for a while, nigga, I was flaming.
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.600
So how do you feel like that?
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:25.919
No, we don't do it.
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.200
We don't be doing pause on here, nigga.
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:30.559
I'm gay every other episode, but the way I be fucking talking.
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.799
I'm sure half of the audience think I'm gay.
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.480
I be doing the little gay boys at all times.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.679
They're like, this nigga's a cool.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.159
Okay.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.000
What?
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.679
I started off flamboyant.
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.759
I mean, let me tell you something while I'll play about all that, that pause and shit.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.399
I got too much coochie in my day.
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.919
Niggas that do stuff like that, it's like, I don't know what happened.
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:55.039
You ain't never had no pussy like that.
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.200
Yeah, either you ain't had no pussy or something happened in your childhood, I feel like you got touched on.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.960
And so something has happened.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.720
If you say pause and we laugh, I'm cool with it.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:04.720
But if you go, nigga, for real, I go, nigga, what happened?
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.519
Yeah, what happened?
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:05.919
Straight up.
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.480
That's wild.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:07.200
I love the game.
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.399
I think the game is hilarious itself, but I'm it's never serious to me.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:15.600
And pause to me is all is always just the induendo of sexual.
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.879
It doesn't even matter what it is.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.320
Like I'll be talking to a girl and she'll sit there and be like, hey, yo, like, relax, bro.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.519
Chick will say that shit?
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.639
It don't even know.
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.200
I'll say it, but it it does, I'm exaggerating it.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:25.679
Oh, okay.
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.360
She'll be like, yeah, I can't wait to come over there.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.279
I'm like, hey, yo, come over there.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.360
You know why I don't like it?
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.480
This is why I don't like it.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.679
Somebody like Dame Dash is what, 50, 60 years old.
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.960
It's like, grow up.
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.519
You know, he's saying pause after every single day.
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:40.720
We would have known by now.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.679
Yeah, it's like, come on.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.600
It's like, man, because it ruins the flow of the conversation and what we're talking about.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.480
So even with the conversation we were just having has gone now because we're talking about pause.
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:55.039
Everybody out there that's saying pause, get your get your life together, go get some pussy.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.759
All right, go for it.
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.519
Yeah, yo, get the pussy is crazy.
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.159
Pause of this conversation, go get some pussy and come back.
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.200
Like a like a back is crazy.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.879
That's how it's supposed to go.
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.519
Come back, come back crazy.
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.240
Come back like the straight you are.
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.240
Oh, straight is crazy.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.080
I appear to be the reckless one on this, but this is absurd.
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:23.519
Industry hot.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.879
Industry hot, man.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:29.440
So you said you never, you didn't feel like you was industry hot, but back then you was flaming.
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.200
What do you think was happening back then where you was Well, you know how it goes?
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.480
You know how it goes, because every time I would go into a room, it was uh I got into the you mentioned Brand Brandon.
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.440
So Brand T.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.000
Jackson, uh at the time it was Brand T.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.159
Jackson, it was Damon Jr.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.720
Yeah, and it was uh probably Lamore.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.960
Lamore was like becoming the a type.
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.519
Morris.
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.200
Yeah, Lamore Morris.
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.200
I became a type after them.
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.000
But everything I went in for was like Damon Jr.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.000
type, Lamar type, Brand T.
00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:58.639
Jackson type.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.600
It was like I was going in for those things, and they were I mean, and you know, that shit that shit hurt you sometimes.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.679
Like, you because you know these niggas now at this point.
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.159
Yep.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:16.960
And then you see it on the path, you see it on the, you know, you walk in and go, oh, this is the type we're looking for, and go, well, I mean, he's right there.
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.360
Right.
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:17.919
Right.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.080
There's no way I'm gonna get this job because he's right there.
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.519
He's peeking in the room.
00:13:22.559 -->
00:13:24.559
His name is already on the sides.
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:25.679
I'm looking at him.
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.120
Like it's it was it was wild.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.960
So um, so we did, I did Whitney, and then Jerks came out.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.200
So we did jerks, we did 10 episodes of Jerks, I think.
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:41.919
And then um right after Jerks, the only reason why Jerks, well, I'm not gonna say the only reason because I can't say this for sure, but I know they were talking about a season two.
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:50.799
A season, I got a deal with another deal with NBC with Universal, but they didn't want me to do another season of Jerks.
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.399
And to go, this brand doesn't match what we're doing.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.600
From what I remember.
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.000
Right.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.120
And it was a different time.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.679
Now, nowadays you could have done both of them, but back then.
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.200
They're like, please have another show.
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:01.679
Right.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.720
How long was that?
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.120
A week?

I did Bad Judge.
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.960
And this is with the deal with Universal?
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.840
This is yes.
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:15.759

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:12.480
So if anybody who don't know that, uh Standard for Diversity was like a uh it's it
was a I like to call it a non-televised last comic standing that don't take white dudes unless something's wrong with you.
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:13.919
That don't take white dudes?
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.399
Yeah.
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.759
Oh, I gotcha, oh, gotcha.
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.879
You can you can be white, but you better be deaf, blind, yeah, something.
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:21.759
Wheelchair, yeah.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.279
But that was that was then.
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:23.759
Right?
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:28.320
So, so I I mean I do I did that from 08 until 2011.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.639
I'd every year I was auditioning for that.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.080
And I went to Phoenix.
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.480
I can't, I mean, I look, I was traveling doing it.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:42.159
And then the year I thought I got it was um uh 2010 is when I thought I was, nigga, I ripped.
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:42.960
Yeah.
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.639
I got the tape, nigga.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.519
I spent off the stage.
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.279
Nigga, I did, I did a turn.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.200
That's probably where I fucked up, by the way.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.720
Nigga, I I went so hard.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.559

Didn't they like a temptation spin?
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.600
Nigga, hands was up.
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.360
Nigga, no callback.
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.200
So that was like semifinals.
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.159
Air getting Negro.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.679
You get the fuck out of here.
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.360
I go, I go, word.
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.159
I had a great set.
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.960
Um and then I started watching like the game of like how people get through this.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.759
And I go, okay, I I know what set I need to do for next year.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.759
So I did it the next year, um, 2011.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:44.000
And nigga, I have a I had a better set the year before, but I had a I had a uh a um I would say a billable set the next year.
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.000
I gave you a character, let you know I could write, did some impressions or whatever.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.759
And then so that year, I I come out, it's me, Owen Smith, the Lucas Brothers, Dave Rahge, Keisha Hunt.
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.440
Um we had a class.

00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.559
We had a class.
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.519
And um then I ended up winning this bitch.
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.200
I was trying to come in number two.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:09.519
I was like, oh, Owen is gonna, he murdered, Lucas brothers murdered, like it was a bunch of very funny people in the showcase.
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:10.240
Wow.
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.519
Uh we had the lowest attended NBC showcase because Tony Rock's birthday was the same night at Improv.
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:19.759
That's hilarious.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.440
From what I hear, this showcase always packs out.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.400
Nigga, it's like 120 people in this bitch at the comedy store.
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.440
That's so good in the main room?
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.279
This is my first set ever at the comedy store.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.160
What's my showcase?
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:33.039
In the main room.
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.759
In the main room.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.079
And in Tony Rock's birthday down the street.
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.079
Tony Rock's parties be popping.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:38.799
Nigga, that bitch.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:40.640
I went over there after my career.
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.039
After I gained the career together, I was like, what's what's what's Tony Rock doing?
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.240
So I get that.
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:48.079
So that's what got me on Whitney.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.279
Auditioned a bunch of times.
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:50.160
They got me on Whitney.
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.000
I did the the we did 16 episodes, I think, this season.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.200
I did 13 to 16.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.039
And then so now, but I did that ago.
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:58.799
I cannot believe I've been on TV already.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.319
I've been in town less than a year.
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.839
I'm a lead on the show.
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.559
It was bananas to me.
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.559
Um, jerk some cameras.
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.640
I ended up going to that showcase at the improv.
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.359
Get that job like two or three weeks later.
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.559
We end up going.
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.119
We filmed what I just what was that?
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.680
Two weeks maybe?
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.839
Like I think we rehearsed for a week and we shot for a week.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.160
Yeah.
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:27.759
Right after that, um, right after that, the I get in calls from NBC Universal, and the bad judge comes up.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.799
Wow.
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.960
And I'm like, okay, I might got another shot at another show.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.960
They don't even bring me in for that.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.400
This actually, I was just talking about this.
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.039
Y'all know how silly this game is.
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.359
It's because it's it's like, I think you're always appreciative and you're always like, oh man, I can't believe I'm working.
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.200
Sometimes like it takes a minute, but then you get a job or whatever, you know, whatever it's gonna be.
00:18:49.519
--> 00:18:52.960
But I'm in the room and I go in for this, they call me in for a show.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.599
Everybody, stop what you're doing right now.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.599
Make sure you subscribe to Killin' It Pie.
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.240
Boom.
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.720
This is this is about you know, this is when pot of season was popping.
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:01.039

So they bring me in for a show.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.599
Um just like Chappelle.
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:35.519
Without doing stand-up.
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.759
Nigga, they bring me they bring me into a room.
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.039
Oh man, what's the name of the show?
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:40.319
It's not, it's I feel like it's a history.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.519
It's called history something.
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.480
Um so I go in for this show.
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.319
I end up getting bad judge, but here's how he went in for bad judge.
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:50.720
I went in for this other show.
00:19:51.519 --> 00:20:01.839
At some point, we're there's probably a room this size, and there's a wall in between, there's a door, there's like it's other niggas outside waiting to audition.
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.000
Right.
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.039
Me and Malcolm go in, he goes into Bad Judge, I go into this room.
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.200
What the fuck was the name of this show?
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.039
Um, also, it got canceled.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.400
So everybody said, yeah.
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:11.920
It don't matter, man.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.599
But but but also I wanted it.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.400
You know those moments like you're like, I want this motherfucker.
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.880
Like, I so I went in knowing I wanted that shit.
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.880
Hadn't even read Bad Judge.
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:26.559
There's there's so there's two doors leading out to the lobby where everybody else is at, every other actor waiting to audition.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.079
Me and Malcolm go in, he goes into Bad Judge, I go into this one.
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.720
There's a door in between this wall.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.599
He's on that side.
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.200
Well, I can damn near hear him.
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.880
Nigga, they open a door and they're like, hey, can we switch?
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.319
That's wild.
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.039
Nigga, I go, I go, they go, take a second, read this.
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.119
I'm in the room with Kate Walsh.
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.079
I'm ready to go.
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.720
I've never seen the shit.
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.519
I'm reading it.
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.240
I go, uh, yeah, all right.
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.160
Malcolm's over here, I'm over here.
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.000
Nigga, we both book them.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.000
That's amazing, bro.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:01.279
I booked the shit he went in for, he booked the shit I went in for.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.720
Nigga, this is 20, this is right after jerks with cameras.
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.559
Yeah, y'all swapped on them hoes.
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.559
Yeah, it was like a hotel room.
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.440
Hey, yo.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.640
No pause, nigga.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:15.119
No pause.
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.000
No pause, man.
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.039
No pause.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.160
Get them draws.
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.079
We don't do pause, we get them draws.
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.359
Shout out to that, man.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.079
That's a crazy story.
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.000
That is a hilarious story.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:29.599
Um, you identified something very specific.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.319
The importance, I swear by the importance of festivals and competitions.
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.680
I say that they're everything.
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:47.119
It is your fast-forward through the business because if you can showcase correctly in front of the right people, then there could be your name can be spoken up when you're not there to speak up for yourself.
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.519
Um when you were going into these showcases, were you doing the same sets?
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:52.400
How much were you changing?
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:53.119
How much were you at?
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.200
I did a different set every time.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.519
But but also it it and it never made sense to me of going like I was a corporate dude for a little bit.
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.319
I don't care about them as much as I care about y'all.
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:09.680
I think it means more for them to see us like each other than for me to go, oh, where'd you go?
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.319
Northwestern?
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.319
I don't give a fuck about that much.
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:19.519
I mean, I do know that about them, but I go, if we all tight, they go, oh man, these three dudes are very funny and they get along.
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.400
He must be a cool dude to get along with.
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.359
That's pretty much that's been my game the whole time.
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:35.759
Like uh I can take uh the uh you know Trent that works at so-and-so studio who might be looking for one of us.
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.279
But if he looks at us and goes, oh man, all those motherfuckers cool.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.839
Now all three of us possibly got a job.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.240
You know, we we might have a thing of this.
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:51.599
If I disregard y'all and go, I'm just kissing his ass to try to get a job, he goes, Well, he don't know how to do nothing, but Brown knows.
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.640
Right, right, right.
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.319
It's much easier.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.519
And I like y'all niggas.
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:55.920
You know what I mean?
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.440
It's like I'd I'd rather do this.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:57.839
Right.
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.680
Nigga, okay, first of all, this nigga popped up on me last night.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.359
What did he say?
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.799
I I don't even know.
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.200
Were you on a step or a or a ladder or something last night?
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.400
He just nigga was just towering over me.
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.000
BT sneaky tall.
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.880
That's not a grill.
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.200
I think you were just wearing a wife beat or some shit?
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:18.480
No, I just had a t-shirt.
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.480
I was it got hot as so good hot back there.

We're still writing it.
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.279

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.839
I mean, like we mean we we all have a moniker of success at some point.
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.279

Um But so so so we all have our you know what we set out to do something, we get it, but as soon as you get that thing, you're like, all right, I need to figure out what's next after.
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.880
Even though you you love this moment, you figure out that next thing.
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:45.359
Um it's it it's it's so hard to put a put a I did UCB, I did uh Leslie Khan, I did uh Oh, you did Khan too?
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:45.519
Okay.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:50.960
Yeah, I I did a bunch of classes, and a lot of them I think were fucking me up.
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:52.799
Not Leslie Khan so much.
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:53.599
Like that was great.
00:24:54.079 --> 00:25:06.720
I was doing UCB classes, but I cared about stand-up so much that it I'm I remember going on stage for like six months, I was like, nigga, I'm doing too much I'm I'm doing too much crowd work and ad lemon and not doing what I wrote.
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.440
UCB is an improv uh classes.
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.359
School, improv school, anybody wondering.
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.640
And I loved it.
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:14.079
It's great.
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.480
I found myself going like, nigga, I'm not even looking at my notebook no more.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:26.880
Cause now I'm just, I'm just before crowd work became a thing, I'm out here just doing I go, I'm not doing anything that got me here.
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.680
And so, I mean, and that's just that's just me.
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:40.400
So I ended up like cutting that out, and then I was more talking to actors and like working one-on-one and doing shit with people, like at the crib, like other actors I was working with.
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:56.160

Why would they pick me over D-Ray?
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:32.240
I think I was good.
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.480

So we get I think we do 13 with Bad Judge.
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.319
This is when they was giving ideals.
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.599
They don't give out deals.
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.119
Not like they used to.
00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:58.480
Unless you're Tom Bells.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.680
Maybe you got one right now.
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:02.720
See, that's what I'm saying.

No, I don't have a deal right now.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:14.880
We're talking.
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.680
He's talking.
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.799
But we don't have a deal right now.
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:18.160
But here's a here's a crazy thing.
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:29.200
I remember, and I'm gonna say the name, but uh the last big deal that I heard about was uh black comic in early 2000s got a deal with Universal.
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.599

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.400
I hardly heard this.
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.079
Y'all didn't tell me this, somebody else told me this.
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:39.839
Got a million dollar deal for a TV show, and that's before it was uh retroactive.
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:41.039

Which means briefcase money.
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.319
Please, here's a million dollars to like wait till we find you something.
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.200
Jeez, don't move.
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.680
And then and then when the show comes, you still get paid.
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:58.480
I took a deal because I'm like, I'm like, I don't know if I'm ever gonna work again.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.000

So you work that money off.
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:18.640

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.319
Yeah, that's a fast.
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:20.480
170 go fast in an apartment.
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:21.200
That's a part of it.
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.440
I paid my rent six months early.
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.680
I go, here's six months.
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:27.359
Don't talk to me till June.
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:30.720
And then I had to figure it out, yeah.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.559
Okay, I gotta I gotta backtrack a little.
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.200
I gotta do this.
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:34.319
This is this is for London.
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:34.880
You know what I'm saying?
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:35.920
It says London ain't here.
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:37.119
Where you come from?
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.039
Where you come from, brother?
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.119
Uh Decatur, Georgia, man.
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:42.000
Hey, shout out to you.
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.039
I'm from Atlanta, man.
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:44.319
Uh, east side of Atlanta.
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:46.240
We hopped around the east side a little bit.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:50.240
So I was born in Decatur, uh, locked on you, Stone Mountain.
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.000
My folks are still on the east side.
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.920
Um, went to school in Savan Savannah State, um, and then hopped around a little bit after that.
00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:59.920
And majored in what at Savannah?
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.680
Uh MassCom, but it was basically concentration film and TV.
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.000
Yeah.
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:07.599
And then minor in theater, so I did a lot of plays and I toured with like some of the things.
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.880
Oh, are you using your degree?
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:09.599
That's crazy.
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.000
Yeah.
00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:11.839
One of the few.
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.759
But SCAD was down there too.
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.519
So I was one of the dudes who like I left.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.920
I love everybody I went to school with, but I I wanted more.
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.839
And not everybody was like, man, I ain't gonna hang out with them white folks over there.
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.240
I go.
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.400
SCAD is they got everything we don't have.
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:32.880
Right.
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:39.680
And I saw I did a bunch of like indies and features and student films over there, and I was gonna hang out with a lot of them cats when I was in college.
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:45.279
And so I man, I got like I had two features before I graduated before I graduated undergrad.
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.000
Me too.
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.519
Yeah, me too.
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:51.279
So when did the stand-up, when did you decide to get in the standards?
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.000
I did stand up in high school a couple times.
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:05.599
I did it when I was like 15, 16, um, and then I hosted some shows in college between Savannah, uh, Albany, Fort Valley, did some stuff at uh Fort Valley State.
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:07.039
That took my first bomb there.
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.160
They booed the shit out of me at Fort Valley State.
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:11.359
That's and that's wild too.
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.119
Southern colleges do that.
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:14.880
Oh, and Jordan Southern.
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:15.440
Yeah.
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.599
Um did some stuff there, and then but but I knew a lot of cats.
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:23.839
It was it was so it was my senior, I think it was my senior year of high school.
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:27.519
I did, I've known Ronnie Jordan since I was 17.
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.920
Yeah, he was doing colleges back then, shit.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:31.039
I was in high school.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.599
We did an we did an indie short film together.
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.000
Wow.

00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.839
You forget this nigga old.
00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:58.640
Yeah, that is.
00:33:58.880 --> 00:33:59.279
Old and rich.
00:33:59.440 --> 00:33:59.839
Old and rich.
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.400

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.279
But that nigga looked 38 when I met him.

Yeah, he always looked 38.
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:06.880
Man, good dude.
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:08.639
Yeah, so I've known Ronnie for forever.
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.400
Remo was like when we went to high school together.
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.199
That is crazy.
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:12.960
I did my first two movies with Remo.
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.000
Yeah.
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.760
Bro, me and we had, we got, nigga, this is how gay we were.
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.360
Uh I'm not gonna say boss.
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:21.280
No, no, no.
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:23.280
Nigga, we got matching class rings.
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.159
That's how good.
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:26.079
We're like, oh now that's gay.
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:26.320
Okay.
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:27.920
Now niggas are married.
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.199
Now you cross the line, Tom.
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:35.679
You don't
cross the line, nigga.
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.199
We gotta see you to leave.
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:46.400
Uh no, no, no, like shit, nigga, we was tight since eighth, ninth grade.
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.159
And so by the time we got a class rings, and we designed them at the same time or whatever.
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.599
But I know him since we were, and we grew up with uh Lil Magic from Magic City.
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.800
Like, y'all put them together like that.
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.480
Y'all rings.
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:03.280
TV company.
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:04.800
TV company.
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.079
I'm gay man.
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.559
There was never a time I wanted to use the F word.
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:15.039
It was then, but I said, I need none of that.
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.800
But come in there.
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:19.519
No, nigga, I'm leaving.
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.079
No, man.
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.719
Oh, shit.
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:26.960
We're not trying to get, we didn't we know your show's been canceled.
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:28.000
We're not trying to cancel you, though.
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:29.599
Oh shit, that's good.
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:30.239
Yeah, so we are.
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:36.639
I mean, I grew up with a very bro, the people I grew up with, I mean, y'all can probably attest to this, the people you grew up around, there's so many talented people.
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.920
Not everybody goes that direction.
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:42.719
Man, I'm I grew up around a lot of talented people.
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.079
A lot of talented folks.
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.599
You uh man, you have to uh speak to this for me.
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.599
What how does your network I hate the word networking.
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:57.440
I because conceptually I think people get a foggy view of it.
00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:59.760
If you walk into a room looking to meet people, what's that?
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:06.159
I met a brother yesterday, and it was just like he was giving me so much information, I I couldn't retain everything.
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.679
Yeah, man, I'm doing it, but then I do and man, I be W.
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:14.480
And then man, if you ever need to W, I was like, bro, this music loud as hell.
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.760
You have you, uh Lance, uh, a lot a lot of people I know Lance Woods are really good.
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.199
I know a few people that read it.
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:24.559
Lance yesterday, too, yeah.
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.159
Yeah, moving around in the space, talking to the right people.
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:29.599
How do you identify them?
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:33.360
Because I only know uh industry people when they got them little tight ass suits on.
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:35.920
You know the uh you know the new agent suit.
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.440
Here's the thing, it's like uh I actually give a fuck.
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.480
It's hard, it's hard to sometimes give a fuck.
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.800
I actually care about man, you're so different than me.
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:50.320
Justin, you different than me, BT different than me, I'm different than you.
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:52.400
Why what's the difference?
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.760
Can I figure that out?
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.119
You're better looking.
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:30.880
I'm a big truth.
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:32.800
I'm speaking my truth.
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.920
That is hilarious.
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:41.199
Uh I'm always like we should do a project together, bruh, because I always felt like we have great chemistry.
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:41.840
We do, yeah.
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:42.800
But listen, I'm listening.
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.760
It's like I always I tell people all the time, it's like I I act like the world I want to live in.
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.440
So it don't matter what you look like, who you are, where you're from, or whatever, like that's who I am.
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.119
And I've since day one, we met.
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:59.280
It's like and it's we I mean, I'm always on, I mean, and if I don't rock with somebody, I go, I don't know why they don't fuck with me.
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:01.840
It could be me, but I go, I don't know, what am I doing?
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.599
It that could be my problem.
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:07.440
But as an only child who didn't grow up around a family, my family in the Midwest, my family in St.
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:08.320
Louis, Chicago.
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:09.280
I grew up in Atlanta.
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:11.679
It's just me, my mom, my dad, only child.
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.719
Nigga, I had to figure out how to make friends.
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.360
That's so I'm the exact opposite, bro.
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:18.719
So that's so crazy.
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:20.079
I don't call it networking.
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:25.280
I know that's what it is, but I go, nigga, I'm interested in kind of everything that I don't know about you.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:27.280
What is that thing?
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:34.400
All right, so you from here, nigga, I remember, and it probably sounded disrespectful when we we finally caught up, like I go, nigga, two watches.
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.840
I wasn't trying to go, I've never seen this.
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:41.280
Nigga, left and right?
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.639
Yeah, East Coast, West Coast.
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:43.440
Oh, really?
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:45.119
That's what you that's to me.
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:50.159
I go, and and I probably think I met BT probably two, three months into me being in.
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:50.639
Yes.
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.360
Early.
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:58.639
But I go, because you you would you had the you had you still had the scarf and the
white, and I go, nigga, I've never seen it was middle summer.
00:38:58.800 --> 00:38:59.199
Nigga.
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:00.320
But you had 11.
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:01.920
I remember going, like, did he switch just?
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:03.920
I go, I just saw him.
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:08.559
He had a watch on this side, but then I seen both of them go, nigga, that's interesting.
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:11.840
I'm gonna have to talk to him.
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.079
Remember when I thought you and Keon Pole was the same person?
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:17.360
Nigga, I told him that last night.
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:20.719
Bruh, I thought he, I'm not no bullshit for like a year or two.
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:21.119
Really?
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.159
To a point where I was hosting that downtown comedy club.
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:25.199
Yeah, with Garrett, yeah.
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:26.320
With Garrett Morris.
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.639
One of them had performed already.
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.159
Was it Nigga?
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.559
It was me.
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:31.440
It was you, okay.
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:32.800
Tong had already performed.
00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:34.559
Keon really went in town like that yet.
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:34.960
Okay.
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.400
But but he was getting here.
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:37.599
I had been here maybe a year.
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:38.880
Keon was coming in.
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:41.039
Okay, so I was hosting at the time.

00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:30.719
You said you should she was naked.
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:31.840
No, no, Beyonce wasn't naked.
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:32.960
It's a wax figure.
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:35.280
Yeah, it's just it was a it was a it was it was her figure.
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:42.559
Well, you say that's the like you know how they take a bust.
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.039
Bust, I'm okay, I'm I'm retarded.
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:26.400
I was like, they had a a wax a wax figure of her that's a big I mean I don't know, it it looked like it looked like uh like cement.
00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:31.039
It wasn't cement, but it looked like just like stone carved out, whatever.
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:33.760
But it was like it was I go, man, because it was smooth and everything.
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.159
I mean, I was 20, 30 feet away from it.
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:36.400
Yeah.
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:41.920
But I saw it just sitting on this table and I was like, but uh it looked like a like a like a mannequin almost.
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:42.400
Got it.
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:43.920
But it was like neck to knees or whatever.
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.440
And I go, It was a hand like this.
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:46.880
He was like, that'd be Beyoncé.
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:48.960
Like, is that Beyoncé?
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:51.199
The United States versus Billy Holiday.
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.159
I'm gonna tell you my story real quick, which is Tucker Thule did that.
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:54.559
Yeah.
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:56.320
I was supposed to-he're great.
00:48:56.559 --> 00:48:57.280
Fantastic guy.
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:58.480
Good people, yeah.
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:02.480
So I was supposed to do a movie with their company, Homecoming, right?
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:04.800
I had wrote a movie about homecoming at HBCU.
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.599
50 Cent was an executive producer on it.
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:09.280
It was moving, like fast.
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:12.320
And I was like, okay, we were trying to look for a director.
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:14.960
We couldn't find like a the right A-list director.
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:16.159
There wasn't like an A-list director.
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:18.320
I'm like, well, there's no A-list actors in this film.
00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:21.039
Nobody's, nobody, no A-list is gonna do this movie.
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:21.840
So, anyways.
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:23.199
It's called Homecoming.
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:24.400
Yeah, it's called Homecoming.
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.840
It's like, okay, so and at the time there was no like what year is this?
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.880
2016 or 18.
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:34.320
Whenever around when Den of Thieves came out with 50 Cent.
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:36.239
So, okay.
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:41.280
They said they don't want to do homecoming anymore.
00:49:41.599 --> 00:49:42.239
Cool.
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.519
And we were supposed to still try to get it going.
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:52.079
Then he was like, well, listen, man, we got this movie called The United States versus Billy Holiday.
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:52.960
Right?
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:56.400
Um, let me know what part you want to be in it.
00:49:56.559 -->
00:50:00.079
And I was like, man, fuck that movie.
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.320
I was like, that movie ain't I ain't say this to him.
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:06.800
But in my mind, I'm thinking, bruh, we was just developing homecoming for two years.
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:08.159
The shit didn't get made.
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:10.079
We were supposed to do this shit with 50 Cent.
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.280
I'm thinking, you can't get no movie made.
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.519
But I'm thinking, like, you can't get no movie.
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:19.599
I'm thinking because I'm like, I just went through this process.
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:23.920
And I'm like, so now you got some some movie that you're gonna just be able to throw.
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.440
And then it got made.
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:26.320
It was phenomenal.
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:27.679
And I was like, damn, I should have been.
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:37.760
Bro, it's I mean, I hear them talk about stuff like it's and I don't know that that backside of the game like that, but but hearing, hearing, you know, I have I have a corporate back background too before a little bit.
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:42.880
So so there's certain phrases and terminology that I hear go, oh, I want to know more about that.
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:48.960
But you hear, I mean, bruh, they were we were sitting on set and you hear things like, hey, we need we didn't we need to find another 10 million.
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:50.000
And you go.
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:51.840
What?
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.280
If you gotta find another 10 million.
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:54.239
We already shooting.
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:55.440
Yeah, where do we start at?
00:50:55.599 --> 00:51:01.599
Not 100,000, another 10 million, another 40 million.
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:05.280
I mean, that movie ended up 50, 60 million, something like that.
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:05.760
What?
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:07.280
Oh, it was up there.
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:08.880
Well, yeah, it's a period piece.

Yeah.
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:09.280

Let me go back to this real quick.
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.480
The first day I get on set was like um John and Billy meet.
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:26.639
Second scene is our crazy fucking sex scene.
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:27.679
Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:28.639

Just go put something in there right now.
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.719
The way you read the script, I go, okay.
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.639
And then Lee is like, I got, I think I'm gonna do something different with that.

Let me tell you something.
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:16.159
That's a director.
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:16.639

00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:18.000

So, so you realize how brilliant that is.
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:49.360
Because when you try to convey something to an actor, there's all this terminology and try to get them to where you want them to get it from the.
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:50.480
I'm not a Juilliard nigga.
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:51.280
But just to get it to you.
00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:52.400

So I do uh, nigga, I do a little fashion show.
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:24.639
I don't know if you ever had to do this, but uh, nigga, basically
I'm, you know, I got my wife beater pulled up, my jackets off, my pants are pulled down to my ankles.
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:27.360
So I ain't got nothing on but a cock sock.
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:29.119
So I got a little fashion show.
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:30.719
They like, what works on camera?
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:31.920
How much we gonna see?
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:35.039
Nigga, I try on thongs and go for the producer, nigga.
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:36.480
I got this.
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:42.320
Nigga, the lines and I get down to the bag.
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:44.079
I go, y'all nigga, y'all know what this looks like.
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:44.639
I'm fine with this.
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:45.440
That's hilarious.
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:46.559
But I'm not gonna show y'all this.
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:47.519
We'll just do it.
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:52.719
Me and Andrew get in, probably two or three takes.
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:56.800
And at this point, um, set super quiet.
00:53:56.960 --> 00:53:59.199
We on this vanity, me and her doing our thing.
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.480
And she was, she, like I said, she was we, but just we met today.
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:03.199
Wow.
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:05.519
And we gotta do this aggressive sexing.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:10.079
And um, and uh they don't have nothing in the room.
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:12.639
It's like this this whole this dressing room with the vanity, whatever.
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:17.519
And and if they just put a little speaker in there with a microphone connected to Lee.
00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:21.119
This nigga Lee is like, fuck that bitch.
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.239
Fuck that motherfucker.
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:24.880
Fuck that.
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:35.519
And so we're doing our thing, but every now and then Lee, you just hear Lee's voice, and it's That's hilarious, bruh.
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:37.280
And my bag falls off.
00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:40.159
At one point, my bag falls off.
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:44.079
And you know, cocksocks ain't nothing but a little tiny crown royal bag.
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:50.960
Obviously, in these situations, I know there's um, you know, intimacy coordinators and you know This is pre-inemacy coordinator.
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:53.679
This is pre-dash shit.
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:54.079
Got it.
00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:57.039
This is pre-cause you try to keep telling the professional, if fall off, keep going.
00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:00.559
Back fall off, and I go, we both look down, she sees it fell off.
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:02.480
And I go, can I stay?
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:04.559
Because her legs are like wrapped around me a little bit.
00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.119
I go, can I stay right here until somebody comes?
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:08.639
And she goes, of course.
00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:13.519
And that that literally that's the moment where it was like, oh, okay, he not a wild dude.
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:13.920
Yeah.
00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:14.800
It's respect.
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:16.079
Yeah, it was like she was actually.
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:16.880
Okay, yeah.
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:20.559
Bro, I ended up, bro, I don't I haven't don't think I've ever told a story on a podcast.
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:26.639
Uh the the scene where I I like my character pushes her into the mirror and I smack her and all that shit.
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:30.159
Um, I ended up kicking her in the face for real.
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:32.719
It was wild.
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:36.639
Like, I own some slick ass shoes, which I'm I'm a big dude for shoes.
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:40.880
Like, I I want to wear the shoes during the day so I can like because I walk different in in the shoes.
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:46.000
And so we we're we're kind of going through this me, and um the three of us are going through the scene.
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.320
And then I'm you know, my character's supposed to like kick her in the stomach or whatever, but I slip.
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:54.639
The shoes are so slick at the bottom, I fucking slip and catch her in the lip.
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:56.480
Motherfucker lips are bleeding.
00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:57.119
She stays in it.
00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:57.599
Uh-uh.
00:55:57.920 --> 00:55:59.599
Nigga, I'm freaking out in real time.
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.559
You could probably see it on camera, I think that that's the take they used.
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:06.320
And I'm freaking the fuck out because I go, oh, just kidding this motherfucker in the face.
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:09.039
She stayed in it, so I go, Oh shit, she's still in it, I'm gonna stay in it.
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.280
So I stayed in it, and and we we we get the we get the scene or whatever.
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:15.920
Cut.
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:18.480
She hugs me afterward, some motherfucking lip bleeding.
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:20.960
And she goes, Motherfucker, you kick me for real.
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.800
And I go, oh shit, I'm I'm so sorry.
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.519
She goes, nigga, we we nigga, we did that shit though, didn't we?
00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:27.519
That motherfucker's so cold.
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:31.920
And then the next scene was her with a busted lip, because it was written already that way.
00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:34.239
So they didn't have to do makeup.
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:34.960
They just she just did it.
00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:36.400
You didn't kick her, that was the Lord.
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:40.079
Bro, she she Daniels was like, kick that bitch.
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:41.920
Kick that mother.
00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.000
But that's one of the best sets I ever worked on.
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:48.400
Everybody that I worked with was unbelievable, man.
00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:48.880
Everybody.
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:54.000
This is what I want to get to, because you got the this fire movie coming out, Coyote versus Acme.
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:54.639
Yeah.
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:56.880
And which is huge, man.
00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:59.920
Talk about, because originally, what was the budget on that movie?
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:00.639
Do you know?
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:01.679
80 to 100.
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:04.079
80 to 100 million dollars.
00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:04.480
Yeah.
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:05.760
And they shelved it.
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:06.719
Warner Brothers.
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:08.480
I shot that motherfucker four and a half years ago.
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:08.880
Jeez.
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:10.480
You shot it four and a half years.
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:11.440
What was your feeling?
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:15.840
Like, what why did they tell you at the time why they were shelving it if they told you?
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:17.119
They didn't tell me nothing.
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:18.239
They didn't tell me nothing.
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:23.360
It was um, it was slated for like two years after we shot it.
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:27.599
So it was like, oh, we shot in 22, should be out spring of 24.
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:28.480
Dope.
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:33.360
I go, Billy Holiday, COVID, so didn't come out in theaters.
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:38.079
The only movie that I've ever been in that came out in theaters that did what it was gonna do was little.
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:39.360
Right.
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:44.239
Like, I still get love from that, but every other one that's supposed to come out in theaters never came.
00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:46.320
It had two during COVID, didn't come out.
00:57:46.559 --> 00:57:52.320
Um so we do, we do this one, and then what was the other Warner Brothers joint?
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:53.119
Batgirl?
00:57:53.679 --> 00:57:54.880
Batwoman, Batgirl, right?
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:55.199
They pulled.
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:57.199
They had two other ones like that.
00:57:57.360 --> 00:57:59.280
Or one plus that, then this one.
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:04.480
I go, they got finally in a hundred million dollar movie with because I auditioned for the lead.
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:04.800
Okay.
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:06.159
And they were like, no.
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:09.679
But they're like, your tape was great.
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:11.519
We want to find you something in this.
00:58:11.679 --> 00:58:15.360
So I end up playing like the leads is the homie.
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:15.760
Yeah.
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:19.599
But you got John Cena and and um Will Forte.
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:22.480
Will Forte's, I mean, I saw Will yesterday.
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:28.239
I mean, like he Lana Condor, like it's all it's so many dope people in this joint.
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:30.480
And I only work with that crew.
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:33.440
I didn't see Cena at all because he I didn't have no scenes with him.
00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:37.440
But uh$100 million, they shelve it and they go, I saw it two years ago.
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:38.400
I saw the cut.
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:40.719
They invited me out, came out to see the cut.
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:42.320
Nigga, I laughed, I cried.
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:43.599
It was the movie's great.
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:44.880
The trailer looks great.
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:45.199
Right.
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:48.719
Nigga, it it's nigga, it's a it's a it's it's for us.
00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:51.760
It ain't if you're 12, you can watch it.
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:52.400
Right.
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:59.840
But it's like you fighting um uh a class action lawsuit against Best Buy or Amazon or some shit.
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:01.840
It's a real thing, it's for adults.
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:08.000
12-year-olds will think it's funny, but it's for 40 year olds, but it's it's it's it's very good.
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:12.320
So uh okay, I I gotta make sure I address these things because because you talked about it.
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:17.119
You said in some of these projects that um you might have just been cheaper.
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:18.320
Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.679
I have a slight understanding about this, but it'd be good for people watching also.
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:31.599
When you start working as a uh on-screen actor, you're in the union, you get a guest star, a role, you're wherever you are on the call sheet.
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:34.880
As you continue, that rate rises.
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:38.559
And to my understanding, it has to stay there or close to it.
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:44.000
So, like, you can't be number one three times in a row and then go get some role as number seven.
00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:48.480
It's like, well, he's gonna be too expensive because unless we're gonna pay him his number one rate as number seven.
00:59:48.639 --> 00:59:49.760
Am I tripping?
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:53.840
Uh I know y'all would have a if I if I heard you, but no, go ahead.
00:59:54.159 --> 01:00:02.880
I was gonna say I think it depends on where the actor is like adding a career that may have something to do with it, like how much heat you have.
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:04.159
Like, I meant legally.
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:06.960
I meant like like legal, like you're so hot.
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:15.280
Nah, I think they can they could all first of all, they're gonna always try to, they're not gonna always try to F you, but if they could pay you less, they will.
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:17.199
I always want to pay less.
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:18.960
I don't blame them for wanting to pay me less.
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:19.280
Yeah.
01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:22.639
I don't want to pay as as much for to get my grass cut or for my grocery.
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:23.920
Like, I always want to pay less.
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:24.159
Right.
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:25.360
You can't blame them for that.
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:25.679
Okay.
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:41.679
But I but I d I don't know if if I heard you correctly, there's a um so every networks and studios are are at least in my experience, I think, are different than streaming.
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:42.559
Okay.
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:51.840
My network, I have an I have a network quote that does transfer the streaming quote, but streaming don't have to adhere to what my network quote is.
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:52.239
Yeah.
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:58.559
I can't, unless we're favored nations where we're all making the same, my network quote can't get any lower than it is now.
01:00:59.039 --> 01:00:59.440
Got it.
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:08.079
Nigga, my first, nigga, my my first when I made on Whitney was so low.
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:08.239
Right.
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.679
But to me, I go, I've never a week?
01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:12.400
Right.
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:14.960
I've never seen this kind of money in a week.
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:18.239
My lawyer goes, you can't be on television for this.
01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:20.880
Nigga, that shit was 10 10 G's.
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:22.079
Oh yeah, that's low.
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:23.599
10 G's a week.
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:25.280
I'm still paying motherfuckers.
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:25.599
Right.
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:27.119
Agent, lawyer, manager.
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:30.400
Nigga, I'm I'm walking, I'm coming home with like 4,200.
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:32.079
4,200 a week, 3,800?
01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:32.639
3,800.
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:35.440
And I go, nigga, I made 3,800 this week.
01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:37.920
And people are like, you're on television.
01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:38.480
Right.
01:01:38.639 --> 01:01:39.760
This is no money.
01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:41.679
Now my quote is pretty good.
01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:43.519
My network quote is is pretty good.
01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:47.039
My streaming quote right now they match.
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:53.519
I don't think it can go down, but if we all go, we want to do this thing, we will, we will take less to go.
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:54.000
We'll work.
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:54.800
To make it work.
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:56.719
I I'm I'm pretty sure that's how it goes, but I couldn't.
01:01:56.880 --> 01:01:58.000
Yeah, that no, that makes sense.
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:05.440
And uh uh correct me if I'm wrong, because you can speak to this uh also the streaming versus network.
01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:09.760
To my understanding, when streaming decides that a show's gonna go, this is what we do.
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:12.559
We know we're gonna probably do two to three seasons.
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:15.360
Here's your money, we'll see you on Monday.
01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:20.719
Like, you know, which is different than the gauging of uh how did it do?
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:24.239
Well, what were the numbers and what were the views and so on and so forth?
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:29.679
You can probably speak to this better because like network,
you're thinking about the numbers.
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:30.719
Like the ratings.
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:31.280
The ratings.
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:31.920
No, absolutely.
01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:33.840
I ain't thought about ratings in five years.
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:34.159
Yeah.
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:42.000
Because most of my my last I I did a network pilot right going into COVID, which it probably would have gone if it wasn't for COVID.
01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:50.880
The whole Karen thing started, and then our our show had like kind of a Karen-esque thing in it, and they were like, I go, exploit it.
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:53.840
It'll work, but they go, we don't want to be seen that way.
01:02:54.079 --> 01:03:00.000
I go, nigga, it's we're right, we're the first two at it to go network with it.
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:09.760
But then I've been working with Netflix for so long, which has been great, but is it true you don't get residuals for strength, like Netflix shows?
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:11.360
You get 'em.
01:03:11.760 --> 01:03:12.559
Okay, you do get residuals.
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:14.000
But it's a part of your salary.
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:15.440
So you don't get them.
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:17.440
Okay.
01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:18.400
So you just get more money.
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:20.480
In my experience, I could be wrong.
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:22.880
Whoever's looking at this, you can say I'm wrong.
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:28.880
My experience, I get my episodic, and they give you uh mic closer.
01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:29.599
Yep.
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:35.199
They give you who a sprinkle on top of that to be like, these are what residuals would be if you were.
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.199
They just give it to you at the front.
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:42.239
So so yeah, so so let's say you like you make a 50 grand an episode, they go, here's another four.
01:03:43.199 --> 01:03:44.079
That's some bullshit.
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:46.000
Here's here's here's 54,000.
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:48.400
You go, so 50 and then four.
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:49.920
The four is the residuals.
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:57.119
Now I'm gonna say that's some bullshit because at the height of my residuals, I was easily getting four thousand every other month.
01:03:57.679 --> 01:03:58.639
You see what I'm saying?
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:00.800
So if they're so if think about this.
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:08.800
If I'm getting four thousand every other month for five years, they're only giving you that four thousand that one time.
01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:10.239
Got it.
01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:17.280
Bro, uh to this day, little and the flash are my biggest residuals out of everything I've ever done.
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:18.559
Yeah.
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.599
We we clearly have to talk about these two.
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:35.519
Um, since we're so close to the Billy Holiday thing and working with amazing women, um, when you when you're working on
little, I mean, this these are talk about that world where you're talk working with powerhouse women.
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:41.199
You got Regina Hall, we got Issa Ray, we got Marseille coming in to her own.
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:41.599
This is her.
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:43.039
Marseille was a kid still.
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:43.360
Yeah.
01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:45.119
She's a motherfucker grown now.
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:45.599
Yeah.
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.079
She was 12?
01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:48.639
Yeah, she was a little bit.
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:49.039
She was 10.
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:50.239
11, maybe.
01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:51.119
Yeah, she's great.
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:52.719
Yeah, she likes she was a kid.
01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:53.599
And I knew them early.
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:54.239
I knew Jack.
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:55.679
Is she a producer on that?
01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:57.280
Yes, I'm pretty sure.
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:02.320
She was actually the youngest, they said the youngest executive producer or producer on the film or something like that at the time.
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:08.159

01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:47.439
The Flash, three episodes on Flash.
01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:49.439
I did five, but I but only three air.
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:50.880
They had to redo some stuff.
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:57.039
Um three episodes of Flash, disjointed and um Thickest, man.
01:12:57.199 --> 01:12:58.800
Like Yeah, I thought Disjoined.
01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:04.479
People come to this day, I probably get more from disjointed than
any other show.
01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:09.279
Just that, just that marijuana weed culture, and people go, oh man, I'll fuck with you heavy.
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:14.720
But it's but it is weird because like people, especially online when I'm like just trolling and just being an asshole online.
01:13:15.279 --> 01:13:19.039
Uh people who know me from disjointed let me be that guy.
01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:22.239
People from Thickest think I'm supposed to be the guy from the show.
01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:24.560
So they go, why would you say something like that?
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:28.479
I'm an asshole.
01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:28.880
Right.
01:13:31.520 --> 01:13:33.039
So you want me to be this great guy.
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:33.359
Right.
01:13:33.600 --> 01:13:34.880
No niggas like that for real.
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:37.279
The character.
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:38.560
I'm not.
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:39.920
Please give that up.
01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:41.600
I have to I have to touch these two things.
01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:43.600
One is uh I got a nerd out.
01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:44.319
Yeah.
01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:47.039
That's my as opposed to we did Kakha talk earlier.
01:13:47.119 --> 01:14:03.840
So the being in uh something Flash is for the people that don't understand, in superhero lore, uh Flash is a high-level hero, and this show got it right.
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:07.520
Really, really so many what five spinoffs from it?
01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:07.840
Yeah.
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:10.880
Um do you do have you been to the Comic Cons?
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:11.520
Have you walked around?
01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:12.479
Have you felt that energy?
01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:20.000
I don't think my character was that enthralled, like that into the world that it makes sense for me to go.
01:14:20.079 --> 01:14:20.720
I've heard about it.
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:22.239
People have asked me, would I be there?
01:14:22.960 --> 01:14:25.520
Sprinkle, not a bunch, like ten people over the years.
01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:26.319
Hell are you going?
01:14:26.479 --> 01:14:27.199
You gonna be down here?
01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:30.079
But I played a made-up character that really wasn't in this universe anyway.
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:30.560
Right.
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:38.640
But I respect it because I know some people who I mean, like I said, at this point we all do, but you see how impressive it is.
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:47.920
I mean, I got I got family who goes, I've told people, my nephew do this, and they only seen you on the flash.
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:48.720
The flash is the.
01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:55.760
I go, I've had 150 episodes of other TV and three episodes of Flash is where that's your nephew, right?
01:14:55.920 --> 01:14:58.720
It's it it is that world is different, bro.
01:14:58.880 --> 01:14:59.600
That world is great.
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:07.279
Yeah, and then uh soural of the thickest, uh already moving.
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:12.640
And you spoke to this earlier, but what is it like moving in the industry right now?
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:14.479
Because things are kind of all over the place.
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:16.079
It feels like it's trying to find his footing.
01:15:16.399 --> 01:15:16.960
Bro, I don't know.
01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:17.359
Yeah.
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:18.000
I don't know.
01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:22.560
I mean, I got I was dry with with no work for a month.
01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:24.319
Like no auditions, nothing, not even reading.
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:27.119
I mean, I love I love to read, you know, when they send you something, read for interest.
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:28.079
I love that.
01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:30.800
Just send me something so I can go, what what's what's going on out here?
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:31.039
Right.
01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:34.800
What kind of movies, what kind of TV are they making, at least so I can stay up.
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:38.079
So I hate I probably had three or four weeks where I had nothing.
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:45.840
I get here on uh I fly in on Wednesday and four auditions come in.
01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:49.600
I have no idea what the game is doing right now.
01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:50.079
Right.
01:15:50.399 --> 01:16:02.399
Um but I feel like I feel like comedy is real close to like we're about to get in some real nice dumb comedies again.
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:07.840
And I'm saying dumb as in like just bro, funny, dumb shit.
01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:16.000
Where I'm putting on 90 minutes, it went away for a little bit, you say retarded a minute ago, nigga, retarded is back.
01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:17.760
Yeah!
01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:21.439
I was in New York, and Sam J was like, nigga, retarded is back.
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:24.880
And it go, but I also and we also know why retarded is back.
01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:26.880
All right, we tried.
01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:27.279
Okay.
01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:28.640
Right, right, right, right.
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:30.399
We tried, and we still respect you.
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:30.800
Yeah.
01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:34.319
But I need to say gay sometimes, I need to say retarded sometimes.
01:16:34.479 --> 01:16:34.560
Right.
01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:36.479
And I'm talking about the 90s way.
01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:37.520
Right, right, right.
01:16:37.760 --> 01:16:39.439
We not I love your feelings.
01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:40.000
Yes.
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:41.520
I care about you.
01:16:41.920 --> 01:16:44.960
Retard is so much I'm I gotta get, I gotta cut to the chase.
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:45.520
Right, right, right.
01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:48.159
But I think those kind of comedies are coming back.
01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:52.720
Um, the the uh just where we are.
01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:58.000
I mean, uh people keep talking about, I mean, I've been talking to a bunch of executives about what they really feel about verticals.
01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:02.720
And from what I gather, people are like, oh, verticals are the new thing.
01:17:03.119 --> 01:17:04.560
I'm not against it.
01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:08.479
But it's gonna be if we want to do a vertical.
01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:08.880
Right.
01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:12.239
This ain't gonna be like, oh, BT, Justin Tone.
01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:13.680
Sony.
01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:18.479
Sony's not calling us to do a vertical nigga, right?
01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:21.760
Hey, uh, industry, you're you're wrong about verticals.
01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:22.880
It's not gonna work.
01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:24.560
We've seen this before, you guys.
01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:25.600
It's not gonna work.
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:26.800
It will work.
01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:28.560
It's it's gonna work-ish.
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:33.840
It's gonna, yes, anything that is captivating that you can watch on your phone, cool.
01:17:34.000 --> 01:17:35.600
But it's quibby all over again.
01:17:35.920 --> 01:17:36.640
That's what I would just think.
01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:37.680
I want to do these quibbs.
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:38.560
All over again.
01:17:38.720 --> 01:17:42.079
You you the there's there's a they cool.
01:17:42.239 --> 01:17:44.479
The attention span is short.
01:17:44.800 --> 01:17:49.199
They believe that if I oh, I just go seven, eight minutes on my phone, people do this.
01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:54.079
It's like, no, there's things that you watch on your phone, and there's things I don't want to sit down and watch at home.
01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:58.479
So it's like, yeah, you're gonna cap the views, will be there, the followers will be there.
01:17:58.720 --> 01:18:01.279
Do you think Quibi would have rocked in 2018?
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:02.159
Nope.
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:03.520
I think it would have.
01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:08.399
I I here uh let me let me give you uh the other side of perspective.
01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:14.960
I'm out pitching uh unscripted show that's about uh 30 to 35 minutes, 40 minutes, whatever.
01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:17.760
And everybody said, Well, people are watching stuff this fast.
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:19.920
I was like, Well, yeah.
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:21.119
We also watch that.
01:18:21.199 --> 01:18:24.560
Sometimes you're in your car, you turn something on, 12-minute clip, perfect.
01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:26.720
You sit it down, you watch it, and the views are crazy.
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:28.560
They don't know I didn't actually look at my phone.
01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:31.039
I'm just running up the Breakfast Club, right?
01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:33.520
Oh, good interview on, you turn it on, da-da-da.
01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:38.159
That's much different than I'm sitting down at the house, okay, cool, survival of the thickest.
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:38.560
Right.
01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:40.319
Popcorn, food, yeah, yeah, yeah, dinner.
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:42.000
It's like two different habits.
01:18:42.319 --> 01:18:46.159
So trying to convert the
habit over is it's just like a weird process.
01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:52.640
I'm not gonna be on the boat watching 17 episodes of this show that I would have preferred to just see the high quality version.
01:18:52.720 --> 01:18:58.560
And it's like, no, both these things exist in a space, but like you said, Sony's involvement.
01:18:58.640 --> 01:18:59.840
They tried this with Quibi.
01:19:00.479 --> 01:19:03.439
Kevin Hart and all the money in and high action.
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:05.520
And it was like, I can't even see all the action.
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:06.479
He ran that way.
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:10.159
It's like action.
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:11.439
Are you looking on yourself?
01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:13.840
There's still something about going to the movies.
01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:15.840
Doomsday is happening, you guys.
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:17.279
Uh, dude is happening.
01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:21.119
It's like this is an experience that is all unique its own.
01:19:21.199 --> 01:19:23.600
It's like live comedy versus the stand-up.
01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:24.960
I mean, versus a special.
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:28.479
It's like both things can exist, but it's gonna feel much differently.
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:29.520
So yeah, cool.
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:30.720
Do the vertical thing.
01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:31.840
It's not stopping.
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:40.319
Uh I just, I mean, like, I I think it's like if if if I were to watch, if I see BT going, I'm doing a 10-part series on uh where are my keys at?
01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:40.960
Right.
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:46.479
But I'm watching BT, I go, I know BT, and I'm watching BT going like, where the fuck are my keys?
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:46.800
Right.
01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:49.920
I watch 10 parts of that to go, this is I think a BT is hilarious.
01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:51.439
And also, where are his keys?
01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:51.920
Right.
01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:56.720
But if you go, I'm an ex-CIA agent, and they go, I don't feel like watching BT do this.
01:19:56.960 --> 01:19:57.199
Right.
01:19:57.600 --> 01:19:58.960
That's just BT acting like this.
01:19:59.439 --> 01:19:59.680
Right.
01:19:59.920 --> 01:20:01.119
For a vertical.
01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:09.039
But it's gonna be people that live in a suburb where kids you never seen, like to me, those are fun.
01:20:09.279 --> 01:20:10.960
But I don't, but nobody's gonna put real money.
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:14.239
I also don't want the production value to be up here.
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:17.039
I kind of just want to see BT looking for his keys.
01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:19.199
That's that's a 10-part series I'm looking for.
01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:21.439
If it's good, it's good.
01:20:21.600 --> 01:20:26.399
Because we've all laid in the bed, caught up in some show, borderline.
01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:28.800
I remember I was watching some show, I don't even remember what it was.
01:20:28.880 --> 01:20:30.239
I was like, do I have to keep rolling?
01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:31.520
Because I don't want to get bed sores.
01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:33.600
Because I'm not leaving here for a few hours.
01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:35.760
Like, I gotta finish this today.
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:36.880
Do I have to keep rolling?
01:20:37.039 --> 01:20:40.239
I just gotta keep put the pizza there and drink the water.
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:43.039
It's like, and I put the pizza in the bed, but it's good.
01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:44.079
With the joke good?
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:45.039
Three in the morning.
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:46.880
Boy, season two of Breaking Bad.
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:49.119
I was like, man, I'm not moving.
01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:53.359
I just started, I told, uh I saw Nigga, pizza in the bed is diabolical.
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:54.640
It was moving, boy.
01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:56.399
What's the uh Survivor's Remorse?
01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:57.520
Survivor's Remorse.
01:20:57.680 --> 01:20:59.840
The dude that plays the agent to the football dude.
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:01.039
I saw him last night.
01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:02.079
He was at the party last night.
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:02.319
Okay.
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:04.960
And I was like, bro, I just start watching this show.
01:21:05.119 --> 01:21:09.199
Bro, and I watched the first season in like hours.
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:11.279
I was just like, oh no, I'm not going anywhere for a while.
01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:12.159
I'm just gonna.
01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:13.359
You see what I'm saying?
01:21:13.520 --> 01:21:16.560
That is uh that is much I wouldn't have done that on my phone.
01:21:16.720 --> 01:21:17.039
Right.
01:21:17.199 --> 01:21:19.520
So it's just like it we there's two different things.
01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:22.399
But we're but we're also old.
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:24.479
Hmm.
01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:26.239
Yeah, so who knows what a lot of people are.
01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:31.119
I mean, I don't know if you've ever seen these things, but like there's a uh I'll send to both y'all, uh, I'll text the y'all.
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:59.920
It's there's there's a it pops up in my timeline probably once a week, but it's like this psychology podcast that really goes in on people born between like 80 and 89 of our generation of how we had the technology boomers end up getting into, which is like VCRs and and you know, home phones and different lines and s the the start of cell phones and pages or whatever.
01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:04.880
And then we're pre-internet, but we're the first people to experience internet.
01:22:05.279 --> 01:22:08.720
We we were the we're internet kids when everybody got it.
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:11.279
But we also know when digital became digital.
01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:11.920
Right.
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:17.439
Now kids only know digital, and our parents had knobs on a TV.
01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:17.680
Right.
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:19.359
They TV's like ovens.
01:22:19.680 -->
01:22:20.239
You know what I mean?
01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:25.840
So it was like w we have we're this this crazy generation in the middle.
01:22:26.319 --> 01:22:28.319
And we're old motherfuckers now.
01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:33.920
Like we are, we are the um We definitely the middle child.
01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:42.079
The the millennials will be in in uh the first millennials will be 50 in four years.
01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:44.800
Crazy.
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:49.840
Millennials, I mean, and we think we still I mean, we nigga, we all dress like we children still.
01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:50.399
Yeah, yeah.
01:22:50.880 --> 01:23:05.359
But do you do you think that the see have you ever sat a kid in front of like good, like you you sit up in front of Sesame Street today, and and they'll sit there and stare at the screen no different than they were scared of the iPad.
01:23:05.600 --> 01:23:09.119
So it's like you Coco Mella does the same thing as like no no no.
01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:12.159
But I think I think it depends when, I think it depends when you start doing it.
01:23:14.800 --> 01:23:20.399
If you have an iPad kid, they quick to move on too.
01:23:20.800 --> 01:23:21.920
Cause they can set it down.
01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:25.920
If you s if you yeah, if you sit a motherfucker in front of a TV, they can't touch that shit.
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:26.880
They gotta sit there and watch it.
01:23:27.039 --> 01:23:31.760
But if you give them up for this thing, they can they can put it down and move.
01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:33.680
So so I I don't disagree with you at all.
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:40.079
I think I think the Netflix thing, I think what we just saw with Funny AF is I think that's probably where we're going.
01:23:40.319 --> 01:23:47.840
When we're watching Funny AF, and it was like you can vote right now in real time, and and we know exactly what happened.
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:52.560
I think that uh uh obviously reality it works, a competition it works.
01:23:52.720 --> 01:23:55.840
But remember the books back in the day books Choose Your Own Adventure.
01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:56.880
Choose your own adventure.
01:23:57.279 --> 01:23:58.319
Like if you want them to call it.
01:23:59.359 --> 01:24:00.159
That's very interesting.
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:02.640
I'm watching because it was a Bandersnatch.
01:24:02.800 --> 01:24:04.319
Yeah, there was a show like that recently.
01:24:04.479 --> 01:24:06.960
It's like, but what if that was digital?
01:24:07.119 --> 01:24:13.840
What if you were watching, what if a show aired right now, and before episode two, it was like, you're gonna go down this path and you're gonna go down this path.
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:20.479
And then you chose where you wanted to go through just clicking motion on your phone or some scanning thing.
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:22.800
It's like I was just thinking with it.
01:24:23.039 --> 01:24:29.600
With AI, if they keep using AI, it'll be easier to do something like that where you could choose your own adventure with these characters.
01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:32.319
AI could basically create whatever.
01:24:32.479 --> 01:24:33.439
We gotta get to the game.
01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:33.840
Okay.
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:34.239
Okay.
01:24:34.720 --> 01:24:35.680
Banner Stash did that.
01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:46.000
I thought they did a good job at it, but also it makes the content like, oh, I was supposed to watch two hours of this thing, but then you pick the wrong journey, and now nigga, my my experience is only 48 minutes.
01:24:46.159 --> 01:24:46.720
Oh, wow.
01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:46.960
Yeah.
01:24:47.119 --> 01:24:47.840
I need to check that out.
01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:48.479
I ain't watched that.
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:49.359
That came out years ago.
01:24:49.439 --> 01:24:52.000
I think BC was talking about, yeah.
01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:52.319
Yeah.
01:24:52.560 --> 01:24:55.199
Um, all right, man, we uh got a couple games you wanna do another.
01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:56.079
Yeah, we done it.
01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:58.239
Hold on, Justin, you're not gonna do it today?
01:24:58.399 --> 01:25:00.399
Man, we're y'all switching it up today?
01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:01.439
You gotta put more.
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:08.079
We've been trying to, I'm gonna kill a little bit.
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:17.520
I'm just trying to figure out at what point in this interview I'm gonna ask me if I'm gonna eat it.
01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:29.039
And this one actually has that question over here.
01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:30.960
That's right.
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:32.880
All right, here it goes.
01:25:33.439 --> 01:25:35.199
Kill it or let live.
01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:36.479
Kill it or let live.
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:37.600
You don't already know the game.
01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:39.920
Anybody that don't know the game, I'm gonna say kill it or let live.
01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:42.159
Uh if you mess with it, you're gonna say let it live.
01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:45.920
If you if you don't mess with whatever thing I throw out there, you're gonna say kill it.
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:47.279
Kill it or let live.
01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:49.439
Hooking up with cast members.
01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:51.039
Kill it.
01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:51.600
Kill it.
01:25:51.760 --> 01:25:52.000
Kill it.
01:25:52.079 --> 01:25:53.359
I've never hooked up with a cast member.
01:25:55.760 --> 01:25:57.119
When we were filming.
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:02.079
God damn it, Tone.
01:26:02.319 --> 01:26:02.960
Goddammit.
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:04.720
I don't share where I eat, bro.
01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:14.880
It's like, I mean, if if not that I haven't wanted to, but I actually not not really, probably once in my career, I've never really hooked up with somebody I work with.
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:18.399
I I'm not, I go, I'm I'm trying to keep it.
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:19.279
I'm trying to keep his job, bro.
01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:22.479
Ain't no piece of pussy worth my
job.
01:26:22.640 --> 01:26:28.399
I've never really I want my badge to work.
01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:29.119
I want to go.
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:30.239
Crafty is beautiful.
01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:30.560
Yeah.
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:32.800
Now I took down some extras.
01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:40.319
Some extras be finding shit sometimes.
01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:45.279
We work together.
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:46.560
We work together.
01:26:46.800 --> 01:26:48.640
But then they keep popping up though.
01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:53.760
We fucked three weeks ago, and here you are again.
01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:58.079
It's like a one-night screen that never goes away because her job.
01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:00.239
Her job is the big edge of the go.
01:27:02.319 --> 01:27:03.039
I have nothing.
01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:05.600
I'm just telling jokes, and I didn't even fuck nobody.
01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:06.000
Okay.
01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:08.239
Kill it or let live.
01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:14.399
You have a hundred million followers on every social media platform.
01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:20.880
But in order to obtain these hundred million followers, you have to sleep one night at teleparadics.
01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:33.840
Is there money associated with these followers?
01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:40.239
Yeah, I'm gonna spend a night in the buttons who's coming in.
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:41.199
What's up?
01:27:46.800 --> 01:28:02.720
Um, You still look up?
01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:05.359
He didn't say what room you had to be in.
01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:07.439
It's a lot of rooms.
01:28:08.479 --> 01:28:09.199
A lot of rooms.
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:10.960
But he knows I'm in the house.
01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:11.680
He knows.
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:12.960
And he's coming.
01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:18.399
I uh let it live.
01:28:19.520 --> 01:28:20.880
Hey, shout out to Tyler Perry.
01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:22.640
Never let it live, baby.
01:28:22.880 --> 01:28:23.199
All right.
01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:24.159
This is my last one.
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:25.600
Kill it or let live.
01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:28.960
You get to be the richest man in the world.
01:28:29.199 --> 01:28:32.239
You have all the wealth that you've ever wanted.
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:33.119
You can do whatever.
01:28:33.439 --> 01:28:35.439
You got the most money in history.
01:28:35.520 --> 01:28:36.399
You Montamusa.
01:28:36.560 --> 01:28:36.880
What's his name?
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:37.439
Montamusa.
01:28:37.760 --> 01:28:38.399
Monson Montsa Mousa.
01:28:38.960 --> 01:28:39.600
You know what I'm talking about?
01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:39.840
Yeah.
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:41.760
You the richest man that's ever lived.
01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:42.239
Okay.
01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:47.119
But in order for you to get the money, you have to eat ass.
01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:50.800
But you can't, you don't know who ass is it is.
01:28:51.439 --> 01:28:53.279
It's like a glory hole, but is it just an ass?
01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:54.640
It's a glory hole ass.
01:28:56.399 --> 01:28:57.439
You get to see that ass.
01:28:57.600 --> 01:28:58.319
But you can't see the.
01:28:58.560 --> 01:28:59.680
It's a woman, though.
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:01.039
I don't know.
01:29:03.600 --> 01:29:04.960
Did you not finish the question?
01:29:05.199 --> 01:29:06.399
No, it's done.
01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:11.119
It's just uh I don't know.
01:29:11.279 --> 01:29:13.680
It's just an ass, and there's a little hair.
01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:15.199
Do I have the money already?
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:16.319
No, you gotta eat that ass.
01:29:16.560 --> 01:29:17.680
I gotta eat the ass and then I get the money.
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:18.319
Then you get the money.
01:29:18.479 --> 01:29:19.439
But who giving me the money though?
01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:20.880
The person who asked me.
01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:23.119
It's in a briefcase.
01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:25.199
It's a briefcase right now.
01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:26.800
There's too man caveats to this.
01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:28.880
There's too many caveats.
01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:32.319
Because there's a version where I go, I'm eating that ass.
01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.000
There's a version, but you ain't give me enough.
01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:37.119
It's all apparent.
01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:39.920
So now I wake up.
01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:40.800
I wake up.
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:43.359
The room I was in.
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:45.920
This is a hoax.
01:29:47.760 --> 01:29:48.720
Good morning.
01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:56.159
Hey, Tom has been on a lot of canceled shows, but I can assure you, I'm the only nigga getting canceled today.
01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:57.520
I can assure you that.
01:29:57.680 --> 01:29:58.880
I'm done with that's it, bro.
01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:00.000
Didn't you say the answer?
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:03.039
Uh I said there's a way that this could happen.
01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:05.279
But when he didn't give me the music, you can give me the other.
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:08.800
I can't say either way, because there's there's a version.
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:12.159
There's a version of it, but That's a let live everybody.
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:12.479
Come on.
01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:13.199
No, no, no.
01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:15.840
That's a down the middle.
01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:18.079
Nigga alright.
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:23.199
I'm just saying when you spread cheese, that's down the middle.
01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:25.279
Here's the hard thing with Eden S.
01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:26.159
Yeah.
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:27.680
This is clips.
01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:36.560
When you talk about Eden Ass, uh nigga, I was okay, me and Rail Battle were with Tracy Morgan one day, and we were shooting Lass OG.
01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:37.039
Yeah.
01:30:37.199 --> 01:30:39.600
And Tracy just holding court on set.
01:30:39.760 --> 01:30:44.159
And Tracy goes, uh, they probably 10 minutes from, you know, they're setting up lights and shit.
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.000
And Tracy goes, Yo, you eat ass?
01:30:46.159 --> 01:30:47.600
And he just talking to random people.
01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:51.279
Tracy Morgan, yo, you eat ass or you eat pussy?
01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:53.920
He just, bro, it's it's me and Ray are cracking up.
01:30:54.159 --> 01:30:55.920
You eat ass or you eat pussy.
01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:59.119
And he goes, if you eat pussy, you eat ass.
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:02.640
Because the only thing that separates them is that thin motherfucker right there.
01:31:02.720 --> 01:31:04.960
And that's called the bridge of a troubled waters.
01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:08.000

All right.
01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:24.880
It's blind.
01:31:25.039 --> 01:31:26.239
You don't know what's coming next.
01:31:26.399 --> 01:31:27.119
Keep three.
01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:27.600

You don't know what's coming next.
01:31:32.640 --> 01:31:33.600
It's blind list.
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:35.760
Once it's gone, it's gone.
01:31:36.399 --> 01:31:36.960
All right.
01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:38.720
TV sitcoms.

You heard it here first.
01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:58.319
You're fucking dumb, but I'm not going out by myself.
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:08.800
You know the reason why I say that is because I just watched a clip of uh uh it was it wasn't uh was it Richard is it Richard T.

Um and they had a wonderful scene where they were like just arguing back and forth, and I go, this is a relationship right here.
01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:29.039
Yeah.
01:32:29.279 --> 01:32:32.159
This is how this is how this shit goes often.
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:33.680
So that's so I'll go.
01:32:33.840 --> 01:32:34.560
I hated that shit.

01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:37.600

01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:42.640
I love Wayne's Brothers, but I'm gonna say killers come and see what else is next.
01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:44.079
Homeboys in Outer Space.
01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:44.560
Killer.
01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:45.039

01:32:45.199 --> 01:32:46.000
So you gotta be careful.
01:32:50.079 --> 01:32:50.880
I've already killed three?
01:32:51.039 --> 01:32:52.720
Yeah, you killed three, it's only five left.
01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:54.000
I gotta say yes to everything else.
01:32:54.079 --> 01:32:54.560
What do we got?
01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:57.039
Uh no, you no, you only gonna keep three.
01:32:57.199 --> 01:32:57.520
Oh, okay.

The Parkers.
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:14.800
I never watched it like that.
01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:16.960
Definitely hate black women.
01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:18.880
You're fucking nothing, buddy.
01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:19.840
Nah.
01:33:20.000 --> 01:33:21.520
Y'all watch the Parkers like that?
01:33:23.760 --> 01:33:24.319
Have I seen it?
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:26.880
It was an appointment television from anybody.
01:33:27.680 --> 01:33:29.840
I support black women.
01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:33.439
I've seen it, yes, but I wasn't, I wasn't like, I wasn't T-Vowing that shit.
01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:34.159

01:33:34.399 --> 01:33:35.439
Um I didn't.
01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:40.560
Wait, watch this, watch this, watch this.
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:42.079
Living single.
01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:43.439
Love living single.
01:33:43.680 --> 01:33:44.479
Oh, okay, boy.
01:33:44.640 --> 01:33:45.359
Love living single.
01:33:45.520 --> 01:33:46.159
Keep it killed.
01:33:46.800 --> 01:33:47.760
And there's one more after this.
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:48.960
Oh, it's one more after this, though.
01:33:49.039 --> 01:33:49.600
It's your three.
01:33:49.760 --> 01:33:50.079
Keep.
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:51.359
That's your last war.
01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:53.520
Oh, I do want to know what's next.
01:33:54.640 --> 01:33:55.359
How are you gonna know?
01:33:55.439 --> 01:33:56.640
It's just until you get to keep it or not.
01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:58.399
But I kill, I kill Parker's, but I'm gonna go.
01:34:00.479 --> 01:34:01.920
So right now, you kill girlfriends?
01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:02.399
All right.
01:34:02.479 --> 01:34:04.720
You kill Wade's brothers, you kill homeboy brothers.
01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:09.279
For the record, for the record, I want to keep living single, but I'm gonna kill it because I want to know what's next.
01:34:09.920 --> 01:34:10.640
I'm telling you, I'm gonna.
01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:11.439
No, this is for the people.
01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:12.479
It's not for you, BT.
01:34:12.560 --> 01:34:13.520
This is for the people.
01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:18.079
Boy, if it's friends, it's definitely Fresh Prince.
01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:20.319
Keep, bro.
01:34:21.359 --> 01:34:24.399
I may, I may, I made, I'm a Fresh Prince stand.
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:25.600
Straight up.
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:28.880
I'm a Me and Rail Battle had I got a lot of stories with Rail Battle.
01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:38.159
Me and Rail Battle had an epic Fresh Prince versus Martin conversation in New Orleans that we it crowd ended up gathering around us because like we're arguing which one is better.
01:34:38.479 --> 01:34:39.920
We both think they're both great.
01:34:40.079 --> 01:34:41.279
I fucking love Martin.
01:34:41.359 --> 01:34:41.600
Right.
01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:43.359
I just resonated more with Fresh Prince.
01:34:43.600 --> 01:34:46.800
He resonated, you know, more with Martin, but he also loves Fresh Prince.
01:34:46.880 --> 01:34:49.600
And we just, I mean, every time we see each other, it's it's that thing.
01:34:49.840 --> 01:34:52.159
Y'all trying to see which one is like funnier?
01:34:52.479 --> 01:34:54.079
Martin is funnier.
01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:56.239
Fresh Prince had a better story.
01:34:57.039 --> 01:34:57.359
Yeah.
01:34:57.760 --> 01:34:59.520
But I but I think it's more relatable.
01:34:59.600 --> 01:35:00.800
I think Fresh Prince is more relatable.
01:35:01.039 --> 01:35:01.279
It's crazy.
01:35:01.520 --> 01:35:02.640
I think my wife and kids are better than both.
01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:04.640
We weren't talking about that though.
01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:06.560
But I do love my wife and kids.
01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:08.000
It's fucking hysterical.
01:35:08.239 --> 01:35:09.119
Last question, man.
01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:14.000
Um, you are always hot uh industry-wise, man.
01:35:14.079 --> 01:35:15.199
You are always killing shit.
01:35:15.439 --> 01:35:16.159
Not that it's a podcast.
01:35:16.239 --> 01:35:17.279
Justin, we cancel.
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:18.000
Yeah.
01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:20.319
Me and you both, man.
01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:23.920
We can start a podcast off two cancel Negroes.
01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:28.560
What does it look like for you career-wise to be killing it?
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:32.239
What is what is that behind the camera, in front of the camera, producing?
01:35:32.399 --> 01:35:33.199
Is that movies?
01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:34.000
Is that TV?
01:35:34.079 --> 01:35:36.159
I really want to talk to you about movies versus TV.
01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:37.920
But what does it look like for you?
01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:38.880
I don't know, man.
01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:45.359
I I really still enjoy this business and I mean mainly because of last night of doing this right now.
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:47.439
It's like that this is the best part of it to me.
01:35:47.600 --> 01:35:49.359
And
I love being a fan of it, man.
01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:50.720
I I love, even if I can't.
01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:55.119
I mean, I've taped every episode of MacGyver and didn't watch a bunch of them.
01:35:55.439 --> 01:35:58.239
But I will play it just to make sure.
01:35:58.399 --> 01:36:03.119
I go anytime I you pop up, I'm with the wife on the couch going, BT.
01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:06.399
And I and I, motherfucker, I would rewind shit to go.
01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:15.039
Even if I I think I I've probably seen three episodes of the London show, seen them, but I record them and I play them just to make sure.
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:16.640
Cause one, I want you to work.
01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:17.039
Yeah.
01:36:17.199 --> 01:36:19.680
Two, if you're busy, I got a possible getting a job.
01:36:19.920 --> 01:36:20.319
That's a fact.
01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:21.680
I need you to be busy.
01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:22.560
That's a fact.
01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:30.720
Um I there there's a I did a movie last summer that got my wheels turned on, like, do you want to direct?
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:35.199
And because me and the director works work so close, and he asked me for my opinion on a lot of stuff.
01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:37.199
And I go, I think we should keep this in the wide.
01:36:37.279 --> 01:36:38.319
We don't need a close up of this.
01:36:38.399 --> 01:36:39.279
I think this should play in the two.
01:36:39.600 --> 01:36:41.920
And it and I think I was right over a lot of those moments.
01:36:42.079 --> 01:36:44.720
And there's a piece of me that's like, man, maybe I want to direct.
01:36:45.359 --> 01:36:50.560
Um I'd love to staff at some just to get off my system, I got staff on a show.
01:36:50.800 --> 01:36:53.520
Um I love comedy so much.
01:36:53.600 --> 01:36:58.159
It's like I'm I think I'm getting to the point now where people have seen me, you know, my fans in certain cities.
01:36:58.319 --> 01:37:03.760
Um being in my 40s now, I'm so much better at this.
01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:04.239
Right.
01:37:04.399 --> 01:37:06.239
Like I think my material was fine in it.
01:37:06.239 --> 01:37:07.279
I didn't know how to perform it.
01:37:07.600 --> 01:37:10.000
And now I think I have, bro, my hours.
01:37:11.279 --> 01:37:12.000
Really fun to watch.
01:37:13.039 --> 01:37:13.920
It's really fun to watch.
01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:15.520
So I don't know, man.
01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:22.560
It's like it's it's I'm hoping the AIs and the and the I hope the business allows us to keep doing what we're doing.
01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:23.760
I just I really enjoy it, man.
01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:30.640
I mean, even at the comedy brunch yesterday at Sorandos' house, the the oh fucking, I'm sitting with everybody.
01:37:31.199 --> 01:37:39.920
Eddie Murphy and Chappelle and Seinfeld and every Kevin and just Dion, and then I'm just in a circle, like chopping it up.
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:48.079
I go, I'm such a fan of these people and this business, and then they go, oh, what's up, you know.
01:37:48.960 --> 01:37:49.760
Kevin say what's up.
01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:52.079
Chappelle, oh, Tom, what's going on?
01:37:52.239 --> 01:37:55.680
The the hanging out with Mo and and Ronnie Chang and Hassan.
01:37:55.840 --> 01:37:58.640
Just like I love me and Theo chop it up real quick.
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:01.119
Pound with CK and I don't know, man.
01:38:01.199 --> 01:38:04.079
I'm just I remember watching uh, and I'm sorry, I don't go on Dice.
01:38:04.239 --> 01:38:04.960
No, no, no, you good.
01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:11.439
I remember watching uh, I was shooting, I think I was shooting Truth Be Told, but I'm on the I think we're on the Universal lot.
01:38:11.840 --> 01:38:16.800
And um when they tried to reboot Coach, remember Coach from the 90s?
01:38:16.960 --> 01:38:23.600
They tried to reboot coach, and uh they were bringing extras in or background for a couple scenes on on coach.
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:28.880
And they were they had like probably 40 extras are walking toward the stage and there's one girl kind of lagging.
01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:37.840
We were on lunch break, but I was going to my car and I saw this one girl, and then you know, they you know, hey, bring your own clothes, we might use something you have, or we'll give you something to accessorize or whatever.
01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:46.960
And it's one girl like 10, maybe 15 feet behind the rest of the group, but she's dragging her suitcase and she's just looking up at the studio and she's like, Fuck, I can't believe I'm on the universe a lot.
01:38:47.279 --> 01:38:52.000
And I remember seeing her look excited for going, I can't believe I'm here.
01:38:52.079 --> 01:38:55.039
And I think about that lady all the time, going, like, I always want to feel like that.
01:38:55.600 --> 01:39:00.880
I always want to feel like anytime I I if I have a good set, I'm cool with it.
01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:03.920
If I crush, I go, I can't believe I get a chance to do this for a living.
01:39:04.159 --> 01:39:04.399
Right.
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:06.079
