• 8:16
  Speaker 1: we're talking about something Daniel Sees said earlier when he
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was on a breakfast club Let's listen.
• 8:20
  Speaker 17: Sometimes I look at like Mary Coubbles and stuff like that,
• 8:24
  Speaker 17: if it almost feels like a like a big conspiracy
• 8:29
  Speaker 17: where it's just like we're married, so of course we're
• 8:33
  Speaker 17: happy because we're married, and everyone should want married. My
• 8:36
  Speaker 17: parents are still together, mind you, and they love each
• 8:38
  Speaker 17: other and they respect each other. But I just sometimes
• 8:41
  Speaker 17: I think I'm just like I know, and I'm the
• 8:44
  Speaker 17: same as my dad. Sometimes it's like he's he's bound
• 8:47
  Speaker 17: by honor. He's a man of his word, you know
• 8:48
  Speaker 17: what I mean. And so it's like you are my kids.
• 8:51
  Speaker 17: I'm not going to run out on you, but you
• 8:53
  Speaker 17: can't lie about what's going on in your head. Like
• 8:57
  Speaker 17: when you come home and you're like, bro this and
• 9:00
  Speaker 17: you know what I mean. It's like I'm doing the
• 9:03
  Speaker 17: job because I'm bound by honor to do the job. Well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 17: I would rather be out being a person, being free
• 9:09
  Speaker 17: right around.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: I get what you're saying. I mean, marriages all work,
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: you know what I mean. You're gonna have your good days,
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: your day.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: But you have to want to do it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So we're asking eight hundred five A five one O
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: five one. What are your thoughts? What do you think?
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: Just I agree, I mean, I get what he's saying.
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: You know, I feel like it. It is a lot
• 9:27
  Speaker 13: of marriages where the man or the woman could be
• 9:31
  Speaker 13: mentally could you know, be mentally over it, but you're
• 9:34
  Speaker 13: you're just in it because you're you're bound by honor,
• 9:38
  Speaker 13: like you you said, your vows, you know, and it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 13: it's a number of reasons that somebody could be unhappy
• 9:43
  Speaker 13: in their marriage. But at the same time, you gotta
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: want to do it, like you know, how many times
• 9:49
  Speaker 13: have You're not gonna always have that. It's not gonna
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: always be sunshine and rain and all that. Like it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 13: it's gonna always be hard. But if you're willing to
• 10:00
  Speaker 13: do the work and to be there, that's that's how
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: you last. But you got to be happy.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You have to be happy, right and something Charlane said,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it's not always you got to find the right person
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, in marriage, you might not always be happy,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but the majority of times you should be happy. And regardless,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: your wife or your husband should make you happy. It's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: times where I have a hard day, whatever it is,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: but when I step into that house, and I see
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: my wife, my day brightens up immediately. When I see
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: my kids, my day brightens up immediately. Marriage is not easy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But for people in a marriage that say, oh, I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in there because I need to honor, that's not going
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to last long. And and for people that say, oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I'm there because of my kids. Your kids can see
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: when you're happy, when you're not, your kids can see
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: right through the bs. So I wouldn't say being that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: marriage just because you want to honor somebody. If you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: not in love and you're not there for the right reasons,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I get with Daniels saying, but you can't generalize
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: every marriage the way that he did. Like, you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: there are some people who are not happily married, right,
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: There's some people just going through motions in a marriage.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: But that's not everyone's ministry. And I know plenty of
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: people who are happily married. Okay, I'm one of them.
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: And whoever told you that every day in a marriage.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: Is gonna be peaches and cream, that's just a damn line.
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: Okay, you're gonna argue with your wife, You're gonna get
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: mad at your wife, you know, but that's still your
• 11:17
  Speaker 11: person at the end of the day, right, And.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's also how you handle those arguments, right. Me and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: my wife will argue and then at the end of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it we start laughing because we just know how stupid
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the argument is. Like she is my person, I am
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: her person. Like we just know everything about each other.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It's to the point where I tell everybody all the time,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'd rather stay home every day all day and watch
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a movie with my wife than to do anything else.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I have fun and I enjoy doing it, you know
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what I mean.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: And I think that's the biggest thing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: Right, Some of y'all just truly haven't found your person. Yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: that's just the reality of the situation, you know what
• 11:48
  Speaker 11: I mean. Are you know, maybe you did find your person,
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: and you know that person was in your life for
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: a long, long, long, long time, and maybe y'all did
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: grow apart, grow apart, Yeah, you know. And I don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: know if that means y'all get divorce, so y'all try to,
• 12:01
  Speaker 11: you know, work things out.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: I don't know what that means.
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: But you know, when you do find your person, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: know that's your person and you want to do right
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: by that person because doing right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: Is the right thing, not because society tells you you
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: have to right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: But that's another part of it too, Like you can
• 12:15
  Speaker 13: find your person, but you got to be able to
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: find yourself. You gotta know who you are, you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: because how Daniel is his way of thinking, that may change.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: He only thirty, that may change at thirty.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Five, and he's looking at something else. Like you said,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he was a young man that didn't get respected. He
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: didn't get the kick the girls.
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: You know they say, girls thought he was cosmetically challenged,
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying. So he probably he probably
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: didn't really start to get back challenge. Oh so probably
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: started probably start getting a lot of you know, girls
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: even coming his way. Correct and until you came.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: So of course his thoughts were gonna be jaded on it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But let me ask a question. If your your husband,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you know, something happened and he gained four hundred pounds,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: would you still be there?
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna lose that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: You ain't never seen a fourny pound Mexican in your life.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you're right, but he's still too.
• 13:00
  Speaker 13: But we would be Jim and that like ain't no way,
• 13:03
  Speaker 13: like I'm not gonna leave you, but you're not about
• 13:04
  Speaker 13: to stay for a hundred pounds.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Word I didn't know you said?
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: Hello?
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Is this than Morning Lewis daughter, Louis Lewis, Good morning,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Happy New Year. I'm going to start by saying, my
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: story is almost similar to the dude that I got
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: forced and the fact that I was a vision, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: I was started to do with one woman. So I
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: think the question about my happy married Uh, most of
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: the time, you know, and I do have desires to
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: experience others. But when we make the commitment and marriage
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: to guy, like Charlemane was saying.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: That you got to go through, it's hard work. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: a lot of times people give up too easily. But
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: that commitment that you made yet her work otherwise would
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: just be too easy. I says everything in life. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: don't want to heat vegetables. I don't want to you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: go to work, put in hard work. Believe y'all we
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: open up in the Harvard mind of things we are now,
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: so I saying everything like, that's our work and give
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: the benefits of it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: I get what you're saying.
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: Thank Hello, who's this?
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: What's your name?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Brother?
• 14:14
  Speaker 14: Hey?
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: How you doing this? Is Naim from Detroit.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Naim, What up, Dell?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Talk to us?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: What's your thoughts?
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, A lot of this is something that that's dear
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: to me because I am a married man. But a
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: lot of times the younger people they haven't loved someone enough,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: and so what they do is they view older people
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: kind of at the middle, at the end and kind
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: of you know, cast their opinions based on what they
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: see from older You have to love enough first before
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: you make these kind of you know, thoughts and put
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: these out in the air, because it's kind of hurting
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: other people who who love marriage, you know, they haven't
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: experienced enough. He sounds like he haven't found a woman
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: that he loves enough. So he's saying, ah, you know it,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: because the probably women he deal with the short term
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: shouldn't really do that. It's irresponsible.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Okay, you know what I'm saying.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one five one. If you're
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: just joining us, we're talking about Daniel Caesar.
• 15:05
  Speaker 16: Uh.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: We had him on the show an hour ago, and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this is what he said about how he looks at marriage.
• 15:10
  Speaker 17: Sometimes I look at like Mary couples and stuff like that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 17: If it almost feels like a like a big conspiracy
• 15:19
  Speaker 17: where it's just like we're married, so of course we're
• 15:23
  Speaker 17: happy because we're married, and everyone should want married. My
• 15:25
  Speaker 17: parents are still together, mind you, and they love each
• 15:28
  Speaker 17: other and they respect each other. But I just sometimes
• 15:31
  Speaker 17: I think and I'm just like I know, and I'm
• 15:33
  Speaker 17: the same as my dad. Sometimes it's like he's he's
• 15:36
  Speaker 17: bound by honor. He's a man of his word, you

• 17:21
  Speaker 17: know what I mean. It's like I'm doing the job

  Speaker 11: I get what you're saying. I mean, marriage is all work,
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: you know what I mean. You're gonna have your good
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: days and you have your bad days.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: But you have to want to do it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So we're asking eight on drink five eight five one
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: oh five one, what are your thoughts now? You feel
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: just the same way?
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, different, yeah, yeah, I like I get what he's saying,
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: but like he can't generalize it, like Charla said, like
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: you can't just.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: That just be your outlook on marriage period.
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: And then I agree with the last brother they called up,
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: Daniel hasn't had enough experience, enough enough experience is with
• 18:00
  Speaker 13: love to come to this conclusion right now and just
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: be setting it Like you have to have you have
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: to you have to have your person, but you also,
• 18:08
  Speaker 13: I feel like you also have to know who you
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: are too.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: We know he don't like systems, but like I feel
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: like he's not gonna feel the same way.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because because true love isn't a system.
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm saying, true love is two spirits connecting right,
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: Like like love and love, love has nothing to do
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: with any system. There's no societal system that can create love.
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: Like that's what Coming to America was about. Coming to America,
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: they had a whole tradition, and he was like, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: don't want to do that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: I want to go out there and find my person.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I always take it to the extent, right
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to the full extent. So if your your spouse was
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a paraplegic, would you still love him?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: If your if your spouse got into an accident and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: lost limbs, would you still love him the same way?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: If your spouse couldn't have sex, would you still be
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: there and love him to say? That's wait? Wait wait
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: wait if your spouse could not have sex anymore? Right,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: would you stay in that marriage?
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I just got married, you know what I mean?
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: Like, I'm just you know, I'm fresh in it, you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: And you're just throwing all this at me too early.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: That's crazy, Like this's like, now, who wants a Mexican?
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: That can't work?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Like the hold on your story the video of the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the human with no arms and no legs, and you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: see how that person's spouse was throwing them in the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: water beat a relationship like.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: That, But I think they was in a relationship for
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: a long time. You know what I mean.
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: I wouldn't want to be the one that has to
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: carry around you know, the sty all mannequin that's like
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: a CPR mannequin for real, Like you gotta you know
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: what I mean.
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: You know it's so crazy. I know men who have
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: had women. Damn, what was it? It's not all times,
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: I guess. I guess dementia. Like I got know wo
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: men who have had been with women, and there were
• 19:48
  Speaker 11: younger women, not younger younger, but like you know, upetting,
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: like some type of dementia, some type of neurological disorder,
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: and they were basically vegetables. Those guys stayed with those women,
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: absolutely women, because that was his person and he loved
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: it up until the day she died. So I mean, yeah,
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: if you really do have unconditional love with a person,
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: you gonna hold that down absolutely.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Hello, who's this good morning?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I want?
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: I want, I want to I would say my name
• 20:18
  Speaker 12: because but my husband don't listen to breakfast club.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: He used to be Caucasian, but I.
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: Was so I know that you're looking for the mails Allen,
• 20:33
  Speaker 14: but I got my own opinions.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: My husband I have.
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: Been married for seventeen years.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: He's been taking away.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: Back in the early two thousands. But you know when
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: he got out, he came home, he locked it down.
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: And it's just I'm I'm too old to start over
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: convenience correct, And the operator took.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: It the word that had of my mouth.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Aren't sunning to grown down his own And it's just
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it's just it's and you said he's white.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: He is of the palm side.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: So you tied of that pink penis.
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: You have had enough.
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: It's hitting it right, it's hitting that good spot.
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: But I'm not complaining.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: But I know it's tough.
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: I know it's tough getting on your knees and you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: you know doing you know, doing that during the Black
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: Lives Matter movement, Like I mean, that's kind of crazy,
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: Like you know what I'm saying, Like.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: The topic of the day was not about.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Let me ask a question.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I can be married if you're not if you're.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Not happy, right, why wouldn't you say that?
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: She sounds happy to me?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: She said she's there for convenience. But you said you
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: were there for convenience. That's less.
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: Because the operator took those words out of my mouth.
• 21:54
  Speaker 16: He put some words in my mouth.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: So I mean it is convenience, So why are you
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: calling no? I think I don't think convenience is the
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: right word.
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: I think that you have found your person and you're
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: happy with your person, Like.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: You're not just there because you have to be there.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: But she correct But okay, but you said I.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: I'm too old to start over. I don't know.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put that say that I don't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: want to start over.
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: You don't want to, yeah, but that's and it's like
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: that kind of tells you I don't want.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: To start over, but that like.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: You like you comfortable in your situation.
• 22:27
  Speaker 13: But if you if it was if it wasn't now
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: the day or tomorrow, you'll be all right.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: But you don't want to start over.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: She was all over the place.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: I do wonder about that, though, because when you're ready
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: to move, you gonna move, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: if you choose to stay in a position, you're there
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: because there's a part of you that actually wants to
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: be there. Like when that design is really calling you to.
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: Move, you're gonna move.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But the problem is is a lot of people don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: want to move because it's starting over a lot of
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: people like, but where do I go to date?
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Where do I go to find.
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: Some certain age, a certain amount of kids? It's like,
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: who's gonna want me?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I want to start over? Like I don't even like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: when people come up with it, Like I don't even
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know how to date, you know what I mean?
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that one brother who called earlier, who said that
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: you know, he'd be having desires. That was interesting to
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: me too, because I just feel like lust is a
• 23:10
  Speaker 11: fleeting pleasure that always leaves you empty, and it's like
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: eating junk food, like you may desire it, but you
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: know it's not good for you, and you know after
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: you eat it you're gonna be mad.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: So just why do it?
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: You know, like, like you don't you don't throw away
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: something good just for lust. Like if you've been eating
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: clean and not on alcohol and working out for three
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: months straight and like you locked in on that, you
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: don't just say effort, I'm gonna go wild out.
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: But discipline though, Like you gotta be disciplined because people
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: do chase them a little temporary highs.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Like that's true, definitely, that's true.
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: All right, Well, the story, I mean, the moral of
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: the story is man, fine, find what works for you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: That's that's what I would say. But you know, I
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: just just not.
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: Just generalize all marriages and say, oh, people you know
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: aren't happy, like you're all fronting like.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: No, find yourself, find your person.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: That's right, all right. Well, when we come back we
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: got past the aucs, Nolin will be joining us. It's
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Goo morning, lady Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: god we are the Breakfast Club. Laura Ros is here
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: with us as well. Now we got a special guest,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a legend icon og, a legend in this game. Ladies
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, a city hall.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: Yes, how are you feeling?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling great.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: I'm thanking God.
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: For the day that Charlemagne called me, because I wouldn't
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: have done this without the voice of respect on the
• 24:39
  Speaker 14: other end of the phone. I mean, I'm seventy years old,
• 24:41
  Speaker 14: could have written a book many times, but that's adult work.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's a really hard.
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: Thing to do, and he talked me into it, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 14: I'm so glad I did for my son and for
• 24:54
  Speaker 14: my legacy.
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: Man, I'm so glad you did too, because I want
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: to talk about your legacy today. Man, you know a
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: they say that I got four entertainment icons, right, Jay Z,
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: Clarence Avon, P. D. Green, and Arcine o'hall. And I
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: feel like people don't truly understand the risk you took
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: to put black culture at the forefront at a time
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: when nobody was putting black culture at the forefront.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was hard.
• 25:20
  Speaker 14: I was coming along at a time when you go
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: to Paramount and say, let's book Bobby Brown the first
• 25:27
  Speaker 14: Friday night because people won't have to work on Saturday,
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: and really showing what show this is. He has this song,
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: don't be cruel and my prerogative, let's let him break
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: one at the top and one at the bottle. Oh,
• 25:37
  Speaker 14: Johnny Carson only does three minutes of a song at
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: the end of the show. And I'm like, but I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: not Johnny Johnny Carson, so let's try this. But what
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: was crazier is one of the ladies in the room said,
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: and why would we give a model that much time?
• 25:53
  Speaker 14: And I didn't realize that there was a Bobby Brown
• 25:56
  Speaker 14: in the modeling world. Yeah, so I didn't know her,
• 26:02
  Speaker 14: and I realized My battle is that they have no
• 26:06
  Speaker 14: idea what I'm about to do. You know, you say,
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: Michael Bivens called me and he got these four dudes
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: they're called boys to men, and or doctor Drake called
• 26:17
  Speaker 14: and this kid Calvin, he wants him to come on
• 26:20
  Speaker 14: and do this thing. And this is how you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: I was not him do it, but he wants to freestyle.
• 26:27
  Speaker 14: You'll just give him a beat and he'll just come
• 26:30
  Speaker 14: out of his head with whatever is in the environment.
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: And when his album is ready, then you can have
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: him on to do one, two, three and with Dre
• 26:39
  Speaker 14: you know. And I'm like, okay, we call Snoop and
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: he doesn't want to do the show, and like why
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: he says, you know, he's talking about the streets.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Of Long Beach.
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: I have respect and I want to you know, I
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: don't want to lose the respect of the streets to
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: do this late night television type stuff.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: I had to go to the studio and uh talk
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: him into it. This is a guy who Snoop Dogg
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: is more popular than last see now, you know, and
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: did not want to.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Be on television. But I'll never forget.
• 27:17
  Speaker 14: He walked in the door with a blue hockey jersey, remember,
• 27:21
  Speaker 14: and we gave him a beat, and I don't think
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: we'd ever seen freestyle on television, you know, but those
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: kinds of things I wanted to. I saw a little
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: kid on a tape do an Elvis impression, and I
• 27:36
  Speaker 14: tell Paramount, I want to put this kid on. They say, well,
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: you need tune in numbers names. If you put Prince,
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: you get a tune in number. You can put it
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: in TV Guide two weeks ahead of time. That was
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: a game back then. And if you put some unknown
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: you know, this is not Star search. Can't put an
• 27:51
  Speaker 14: unknown kid on until you maybe in the fifth year.
• 27:56
  Speaker 14: And uh so I would put people on in a monologue,
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: and I created the little spot where I put people on,
• 28:01
  Speaker 14: but the kid was Bruno Monomore and.
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Stuff like that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: They didn't want Eddie Griffin because he's too edgy.
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: So during the monologue, I said, oh, Eddie Griffin, because
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: it's Sullivan used to point in the audience when I
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: was a kid, there's Diana Ross then of us Rash,
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: you know, and so I'm like, Eddie Griffin, what's up? Man, Hey,
• 28:21
  Speaker 14: come here for a minute. And it's not on the
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: booking sheet. Paramount don't know what's gonna happen now. That
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: one backfired on me because Eddie Griffin did Michael Jackson's
• 28:31
  Speaker 14: snorton cocaine. He does, and you know, because he used
• 28:35
  Speaker 14: to be a dancer, so he does that. You know,
• 28:37
  Speaker 14: he does all this little step and the lawyers had
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: a hard time that next day at Paramount because basically
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: he had done a routine on television about Michael Jackson
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: snorting cocaine and then dancing.
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: Really, you know, we'll never have that kind of mono
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: culture again when everybody is tuned in watching one thing
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: at once, because I remember all old moments we had
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: no DV.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: Man, you couldn't go back and watch it on YouTube.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: You had you had, you had to. You had to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: turn it on before we go back to cause I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: like to go back to the beginning so people understand
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the story.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: That's why you bo but that's why you're in this business.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: But you know what, one thing I've noticed, I've watched
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of your interviews in the last week or
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: so to mine, when I look at your face, I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: see a light that comes on like it's almost either
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a surprise light, like I'm surprised they really with me,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: like you like you look amazed when when these guys
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: like like I'm thinking myself, I see no, don't know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he's the you know. And then another thing that popped
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: in my head is, I know you were retired. Maybe
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: he's ready for that comeback. Because it's just the feeling
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that energy. When I watch you come out and just
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the light and you're pointing at people and you're pointing
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: at the bed, I'm like, God, damn it, bring on
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: senior back. So what So what is going through your
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: mind when you are doing these press runs and you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: doing TV. What's going through a senior's mind?
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: The light you saw, I mean that was the light
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: of a fan, the light of a kid from Cleveland
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: who did a talk show in his basement and I
• 30:01
  Speaker 14: had a little record player. Put the record player on.
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: There was a Temptation's Greatest Hits album. I'd play get Ready,
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: I'd come out of do a magic trick. I'd do
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: a joke after taking the needle off the record, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 14: I would entertain the kids in my neighborhood with this
• 30:17
  Speaker 14: talk show.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: So you see a.
• 30:18
  Speaker 14: Guy who's dreamed it all his life and can't believe
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: that I've dreamed it into existence. My mother used to say,
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: if you get good grades, you can go to Detroit
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: and watch the Motown review with your cousins.
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: For five dollars, you can see Stevie Wonder.
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: You could see the Temptations and they give you two pips,
• 30:36
  Speaker 14: well sometimes for five hours what you want and that
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: kind of stuff, and you grow up and then you
• 30:44
  Speaker 14: tour with the Temptations. When they had to stand in
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: on the top tour, Rick James wrote them that track.
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: Then one day Michael Bivens calls you and says, hey,
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: I got four guys that idolized the Temptations that from
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: Philly called Boys the Men, and but their album's not
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: ready yet. When it's ready, I want to come. I say, Oh,
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: I got an idea. They love the Temptations. I got
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: the Temptations on Thursday. Let them come and blend in
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: with the Temptations and you can imagine a paramount every night.
• 31:13
  Speaker 14: It was a nightmare because they wanted less black. Now
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: I got fifteen. But my thing was like, I'd rather
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: do six years my way than twenty years Johnny's way,
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: and Johnny dug the show because I wasn't trying to
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: be him. There was never a competition. I was looking
• 31:33
  Speaker 14: for friends of the show. I remember Alan King, a
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: legendary old comic, called me and he says, your show
• 31:41
  Speaker 14: put out an offer to me, and I just want
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: you to know I love what you're doing, but I'm
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: a Johnny guy.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: And that's when it hit me, you got to get
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: your guys.
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: And so that's when I started trying to go for
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: the audience that didn't have a talk show. And that
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: made it work, you know, cause I'd been the Ed
• 31:57
  Speaker 14: McMahon figure on a thing called Thick of the Night,
• 32:00
  Speaker 14: you know where I was, oh fick, And so I
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: got to watch it go on and I got to
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: learn from Alan's experience. Don't try to be Johnny. Try
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: to come up with an alternative. By the way, when
• 32:14
  Speaker 14: I was working for Alan, Think there was a Little Boy.
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: I brought Johnny Gill on alaan Thick show. I met
• 32:20
  Speaker 14: Johnny Gill in Cleveland with Gerald LeVert. I bring Johnny
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: Gill on the show, and he gets numbers, and that
• 32:26
  Speaker 14: let me know, Hey, it's not that black people don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: get numbers, it's that we ain't trying it. He came
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: on with Stacy Lattisaw and they did perfect combination. On
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: the side, there's a little white boy with a cub's
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: cap on. It's Alan Thick's son who always surfaced when
• 32:42
  Speaker 14: there was R and B on the show.
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: That was Robin.
• 32:45
  Speaker 14: Think that's another example of how we know who we are,
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: we know who we want to be, and that kid
• 32:52
  Speaker 14: then knew he was the white Marvin Gay.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: Is this book is your memoir closure for you?
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Or is it a lot of correction?
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: I don't know if I yeah, a little closure too,
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: because I loved putting that letter of resignation. A lot
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: of people barbershop journalists would say, well, you know, one
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: night he snuck fair Con in there. Thereamount didn't know
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: about it, you know, and interview fair Con and you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: when the fact is, paramount has to green like that,
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: they have to approve that. And it's all the barbershop
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: journalism you get because basically studios. People think studios are
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: above the fray, and what they don't understand is that
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: studios just like a relationship. You have a breakup with
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: somebody and then you hear that he said I left
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: her because I was sick of her.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Lying.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: And unfortunately business is like that too.
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: They want to position it sexy their way, and they say, well,
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: we'll come over Tuesday and we'll talk about crafting a
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: release to the press of.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: What we're going to do from here on.
• 34:04
  Speaker 14: And then Monday some she come out and you're like,
• 34:07
  Speaker 14: you must you know, but I get to correct those
• 34:11
  Speaker 14: kinds of things, and yeah, and have closure too, because.
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: I said, you actually quit the show, and I remember
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: when you first told me that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: In my mind, I'm like, yeah, really.
• 34:22
  Speaker 18: When I heard when I heard that that that little thing,
• 34:25
  Speaker 18: that that dental tongular thing, I had my woman go
• 34:31
  Speaker 18: in the garage and I said, you got to find
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: that let letter and she found.
• 34:35
  Speaker 15: It because there were so many people that believed that
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: though that that you didn't quit the show. If you
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: had never written this book, how would you have ever
• 34:42
  Speaker 15: like try to clear it up any other place?
• 34:44
  Speaker 19: Like was that something that was sitting with you for
• 34:45
  Speaker 19: a while.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I had a lawyer say, why do you care?
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: Look at your bank account? Why do you care?
• 34:51
  Speaker 14: And I'm like, because truth matters, And I mean, forget television.
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: We as a people, uh Rican gentlemen.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: Also, we.
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: As a people have to be careful not to let
• 35:10
  Speaker 14: truth be buried. Mine is insignificant. How about the history
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: of our people in the way it's being changed, buried
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: and hidden from future children.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Truth is important.
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: It's important when it's on y'all side, so let it
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: be important for us too.
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: By the way, either way, you left his gangster walking
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: away because hey man, I want to do my black stuff.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: If it ain't working for y'all, it ain't gonna work
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: for me, I'm out. Or yeah I bought Ferracon. One
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: way it works.
• 35:38
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, you get a free bean path for
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: that second. Brothers very very supportive of it. But you know,
• 35:46
  Speaker 14: here's the deal, here's how you can understand it. At
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: the end of the day. Entertainment is cool. But Quincy
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: used to tell me the word business is larger than
• 35:54
  Speaker 14: the word show. And my ratings and my income were attached.
• 36:00
  Speaker 14: The higher the number, the more money I get. When
• 36:03
  Speaker 14: Letterman gets CBS, because I'm in syndication now, I'm on
• 36:06
  Speaker 14: stations most places, but my CBS stations helped me succeed.
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: When Letterman comes into the game and all my CBS
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: stations leave at the end of their term, I'm like,
• 36:17
  Speaker 14: what am I gonna do now? And so basically, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: the money goes down, and now you're like, well, I
• 36:24
  Speaker 14: have to look at a movie every night and read
• 36:26
  Speaker 14: a Jackie Collins book. I'm like, I don't know if
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: it's worth it for a million a year, you know.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: And the bottom line is I dashed when the money. Also,
• 36:36
  Speaker 14: I'm from Cleveland. I grew up down the street from
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: Jim Brown, and I watched him leave on Top. I
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: watched him start doing movies when they were still calling
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: him to the locker room.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: I always wanted to leave on Top.
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: So the bottom line when the money changed a little
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: bit and the numbers change a little bit, and I
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: didn't see a future for syndication because I'm like, they're
• 36:55
  Speaker 14: gonna put somebody at ABC, I'm gonna lose those affiliates too.
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: So eventually there's a Kimmel as a letterman. And the
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: bottom line is the money changed, Let's do something else.
• 37:04
  Speaker 14: I've gotten six years out of this. I've been on
• 37:06
  Speaker 14: the cover of Time magazine. I spent two years knowing
• 37:09
  Speaker 14: I was leaving and building a house on the beach.
• 37:13
  Speaker 14: And bottom line is I'm cool with how.
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: It all went down.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: I was always shot that Foxes didn't get into the
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: late night game. It's funny.
• 37:21
  Speaker 14: I just sat with Conan O'Brien and he told me
• 37:23
  Speaker 14: a cool story. He says he was in a lunch
• 37:27
  Speaker 14: room a cafeteria at Fox, and he says, you were
• 37:30
  Speaker 14: very nice to me. You won't remember me, but I
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: was getting coffee and you showed me where other stuff was.
• 37:36
  Speaker 14: What I didn't realize is while I was taking over
• 37:39
  Speaker 14: for Jones Rivers and doing the late show because she
• 37:42
  Speaker 14: eventually got fired, her husband killed himself. You remember all
• 37:45
  Speaker 14: that stuff. I'm doing the late show. I'm doing the
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: last eleven weeks of her contract before I go to
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: do Coming to America. Conan had been hired to create
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: a show to replace me, So while I was there,
• 37:56
  Speaker 14: they had decided that I wasn't the guy wow, and
• 37:59
  Speaker 14: they created thing called The Wilton North Report. I went
• 38:02
  Speaker 14: and did come into America in paramount. Was like, when
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: we finished this, if you want a talk show, let's
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: try it in syndication. Now, something in syndication will never
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: work again other than Byron All and no one's gonna
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: ever be able to make syndication money because the network's
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: got it, you know it. When I came into it,
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: CBS and ABC didn't.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Want to be in the late night game, so they
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: bought my show.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: You know, it was a perfect time. Life is all
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: about timing and effort.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Coming to America, my favorite movie of all. Yeah,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: let's talk about that movie and how it came together
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: and what was the decision to play so many different
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: characters for both you and Eddie.
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: The decision for me to play characters was Eddie saying, yeah,
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: him too, that's cool, you know, because he's the king,
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: you know.
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: But the movie, the movie was all hinged on.
• 38:52
  Speaker 14: The fact that America missed Eddie doing characters. They wanted
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: that again. And yeah, and I remember his manager saying
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: to me, they want Eddie to do characters. So when
• 39:04
  Speaker 14: you guys go to America, he'll be some of the
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: people that you meet. And I'm like, that's really cool. Now,
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: I'm just a straight out stand up. I'm not an
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: impressionist and I'm not an actor. I was honored when
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: he asked me to also do some characters. But that
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: movie was supposed to be me as you know, like
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: a personal assistant or an undersized bodyguard coming to America
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: from Zamunda with Eddie. He saw me do stand up
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: and I did this bit about going to church in
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: Chicago and going to the South Side. So I do
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: this preacher character, and he's like, that's all.
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: It is, man.
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: You know, we do the prosthetics and you do that,
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: and you're a preacher, you know. And of course my
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: dad was a Baptist preacher, and so at any moment,
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: I'm ready to preach.
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: I was laughing another niggas I saw all you posted video.
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: He was like, I'm walking like the preaching and coming
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: to America. But not because I'm pretending.
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: Life is crazy, Because you know, at one point you're
• 40:06
  Speaker 14: in your twenties and you're standing in front of a mirror. Jess,
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: you've been through they stand in front of a mirror,
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: you're practicing a character. You're looking at how Red Fox walks,
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: and you're breaking it down. And then one day you
• 40:17
  Speaker 14: turned seventy and you realize, now that's my walk. But
• 40:23
  Speaker 14: if loving you is wrong, I don't want you.
• 40:30
  Speaker 15: I was going to coming to America. I've read somewhere.
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: I think it was one of the interviews you did something.
• 40:34
  Speaker 15: It almost didn't happen though a couple of times, at
• 40:36
  Speaker 15: first because of the pitch, and then there was an
• 40:38
  Speaker 15: issue with Eddie Murphy and somebody on set.
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, well, you know, they wanted him to do characters
• 40:43
  Speaker 14: and that made the treatment perfection, and he decided different
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: things I can do when we come to America.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: And the other thing you reference is he had a.
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: Conflict with Landis, and Landis is a brilliant director, and
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: they work that out.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: Thank God, Thank God, my business.
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: Manager, Thanks God every day for me.
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: Just keep coming in insiduous world, not as crazy as
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: one might think.
• 41:14
  Speaker 14: Okay, you know, but because you see it all the
• 41:18
  Speaker 14: time on v H one and on things owned by
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: sky Dance, I guess it is now. By the way,
• 41:25
  Speaker 14: the checks that he get are probably what you just described,
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: you know. But the bottom line is, I was a
• 41:31
  Speaker 14: lucky actor to be involved, and mine sometimes will be
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: thirteen cents.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: In your show. Right.
• 41:37
  Speaker 13: Has there ever been anybody that would talk about you
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: but then won't come on your show and you let
• 41:42
  Speaker 13: it happen.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: Once, yeah, at one time. But for the most part,
• 41:49
  Speaker 14: you know what, Oh.
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: I forgot her name.
• 41:53
  Speaker 14: It was somebody who you know now that I think
• 41:56
  Speaker 14: maybe there are jokes there was too much, but I
• 42:02
  Speaker 14: forgot it.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: But she was a comic, another comedian.
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was. It was a young.
• 42:06
  Speaker 14: Comic, and I was like, no, not now, keep that
• 42:10
  Speaker 14: same energy when you was calling me the F word.
• 42:13
  Speaker 9: On stage, you know, but.
• 42:17
  Speaker 14: Yes, yeah, yeah, which is rough on a black man,
• 42:21
  Speaker 14: because you know, you know that whole history. I was
• 42:26
  Speaker 14: one of those guys that would put the business before
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: my personal feelings. I've had Spike Lee call me and
• 42:32
  Speaker 14: Uncle Tom. But when it's time for Spike Lee to
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: promote ith, I'm like, dude, I'm here, come on. You know,
• 42:41
  Speaker 14: as a matter of fact, Spike was mad at me
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: because I probably didn't give him the date.
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: I think he wanted a certain date and.
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: It sweeps and all that date has taken, that Friday
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: night date, and he got mad at me and you know,
• 42:54
  Speaker 14: call me and Uncle Tom and it's like you would
• 42:56
  Speaker 14: think that we would never speak.
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: But I walked up to him at.
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: A Laker game, a Laker Knicks game, Grab them, dude,
• 43:03
  Speaker 14: come on through sometimes my next price.
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: I never understood that though, Like, how could Spike we
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: called call off? Send your hall of Uncle Tom, Like
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: like like you were doing do the right thing every
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: night the way you was fiking.
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, And you know he was, like I said,
• 43:16
  Speaker 14: he people, you make mistakes. You say stuff a lot
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: of times. By the fact that when I hugged them,
• 43:23
  Speaker 14: we talked and it was over.
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: You realize in the moment.
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: He said that because he didn't get the date, he
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: wanted to promote, you know, whatever the uncle Thomas wrong,
• 43:34
  Speaker 14: especially when.
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: You already had people that were feeling like that about you.
• 43:37
  Speaker 15: So for him to echo it, it made it, you know, bigger.
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and that's probably why he went for that Achilles
• 43:44
  Speaker 14: heel or that spot.
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: But h but.
• 43:47
  Speaker 14: I think sometimes to hold a grudge, you have to
• 43:50
  Speaker 14: keep that ugly thing with you. Yeah, sometimes it's it's
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: easier for you to let it go.
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: Guys.
• 43:58
  Speaker 15: Okay, wait, I was trying. I been trying to get
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: this in. You got really personal just about like a
• 44:02
  Speaker 15: dating life as well too. In this book, you talk
• 44:05
  Speaker 15: about Pamela Anderson and Paula Abdul and what.
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: By the way, one of the reasons I wanted to
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: tell the Pamela Anderson story is because I don't know
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: if it's changed, but the older comics that wasn't. That
• 44:17
  Speaker 14: was the kind of advice. It's like, Yo, Johnny Witherspoon
• 44:20
  Speaker 14: in this book, he stay away from white.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: Women, you know, and you're a young kind.
• 44:24
  Speaker 14: You're like, okay, you know, because there were no white
• 44:27
  Speaker 14: women in my neighborhood and I didn't know why. And
• 44:31
  Speaker 14: of course the night I walked into the comedy store
• 44:33
  Speaker 14: with Pamela Anderson, Johnny Witherspoon looked at me and did
• 44:36
  Speaker 14: that tungular thing that you do what I tell you,
• 44:40
  Speaker 14: you know, And just I wanted to take people through
• 44:44
  Speaker 14: that growth process of what the OG's told.
• 44:47
  Speaker 15: You and you're.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Talking about like.
• 44:53
  Speaker 14: Me and Tupac had an argument because Tupac in an
• 44:55
  Speaker 14: article said, uh something about Quincy and our Sineo and
• 44:59
  Speaker 14: some of these brother this in these white women you
• 45:01
  Speaker 14: see with white you know, it's like back then. That
• 45:04
  Speaker 14: was a no no to the older brothers who were
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: talking to you, and they were trying to tell you
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: that's a problem you know that you know, and it
• 45:13
  Speaker 14: was some people in your demo will not like you
• 45:16
  Speaker 14: if they see you in Jet magazine with a playmate,
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: you know.
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: So he was trying to protect me. It's definitely the
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: real story of Arsenio Hall. It's not just about it,
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: you know, a guy with a late night show man.
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: Go get our Senio.
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: A memoir available everywhere you buy books, now and just
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: salute to you, my brother.
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: I don't even know how you got my number. Thank
• 45:38
  Speaker 14: you for the call, because you gave me something to
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: do for a couple of years, man, and it was
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: a lot of fun, and I think I did it well.
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: I'm glad you did.
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: Know.
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: This is one of the best entertainment memoirs I've ever
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: read in my life. That it said with no bias,
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: not just biased for publishing it, not biased because I
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: look at you as an inspiration. But this is actually
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: one of the best entertainment memoirs I ever read in
• 45:59
  Speaker 11: my life.
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: He could I just add one more thing.
• 46:01
  Speaker 14: When you talk about dreaming and teaching and what the
• 46:04
  Speaker 14: book does and all that kind of stuff, what you
• 46:06
  Speaker 14: just said is important. A black man saying to me
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: on the phone, I want to do this because I
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: want more black office. I want more books in the
• 46:16
  Speaker 14: hands of Nubian people.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: What you did.
• 46:20
  Speaker 14: Calling me was so important and to do it with you,
• 46:23
  Speaker 14: and that's what I told my publicist. I gotta do
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: it because he's trying to do something and I believe
• 46:28
  Speaker 14: in what he's trying to do.
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: And I knew your history and.
• 46:31
  Speaker 14: Your parents being educators, and it was so it's so
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: important for us.
• 46:36
  Speaker 9: Sometimes we don't.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Work together, we will, We will work with.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: Anybody but our own I don't know why.
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: And then you know.
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: And there's a lot of that in us, even when
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: we don't say it. But I with this, and we.
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: Got a book and you'll read me a long time ago,
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: because you know, I used to want to do late
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: night television because of us in your hall. You know,
• 46:59
  Speaker 11: you do rat and you get a talk show and
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: you think, like, I gotta make it at the late
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: night host. Got to make it at the late night host.
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: And when you was on press for coming to America Too,
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: somebody asked you. They said, you know, who do you
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: think is like the closest to you in this generation?
• 47:11
  Speaker 11: And you said, I would say somebody like Charlamagne, But
• 47:13
  Speaker 11: he does radio and you watch it on YouTube, and
• 47:16
  Speaker 11: you know that's like where people go to get I
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: guess that's so called late night fixed.
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: I remember you said that. I was like, yo, hey.
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: That song.
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: Everything must change. The business is that way too, that
• 47:27
  Speaker 14: late night format that Johnny created. He was the king,
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: but for budget reasons and for the advancement of technology,
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: this has to change. And what you're doing now when
• 47:40
  Speaker 14: Tupac would call me on the landline and say, I
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: need to come on the show Man because they trying
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: to make me take an age test before I do
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: poetic justice.
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: And I ain't gonna really Janet.
• 47:52
  Speaker 14: Right, okay, So why should I have to take an
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: age test? And back then, we didn't have the word twitter,
• 47:59
  Speaker 14: we didn't have that. It wasn't a bluebird, it was
• 48:02
  Speaker 14: a blackbird. I was the guy you called and came
• 48:06
  Speaker 14: and talked about your problems, of the business of what
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: you were going through, iced tea coming on and explaining
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: cop killer, explaining, you know, I'm not really killing cops,
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: Arnold Schwartzen, they gain't really determinator.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: This is a piece of art trying to give a message.
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: And so what I was doing when I watch you,
• 48:24
  Speaker 14: when I listened to you, I'm like, he's doing it.
• 48:26
  Speaker 14: And the medium has come to a different place. You know,
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: there's no curtain, there's no a McMann, there's no Doc Severnson.
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: But what Charlemagne is doing is what I did for
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: this time, for this culture. And look how it's evolved,
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: you know, I mean, it got the two ladies now
• 48:43
  Speaker 14: and of course envy.
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: It was just free for me because it just teaches
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: you don't always have to be chasing something, and it
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: goes back to gratitude.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
• 48:53

  Speaker 11: I tell you all the time, the craziest people in
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: eating in McDonald's late at night when you are a

• 50:51
  Speaker 11: and this woman walked up to her and asked, where
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: are you from? Those are three words you do not
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: want to hear when you are on the West coast,
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: especially LA.
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: And then things escalated quickly.
• 51:01
  Speaker 19: The woman in the video, she's telling the.
• 51:03
  Speaker 20: Story, I think that's Ice Spice over there. But I
• 51:05

• 51:19
  Speaker 20: of the street talking about some where is that. I
• 51:22
  Speaker 20: do want to fight her. That's what me and her
• 51:24
  Speaker 20: fought again. She was being disrespectful and rude, which is.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Why we fought.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: You do realize we saw the video, right, You do
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: realize we can hear the video?
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: Okay, all right, nothing you said Ice Spice said in
• 51:36
  Speaker 11: that video we heard. What I saw was you approached
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: Ice Spice's table looking like you.
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: Was on to bs. Okay, I didn't like the way
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: you approached the table, all right.
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: Just because you are a fan of someone doesn't mean
• 51:46
  Speaker 11: you can disrespect their boundaries or you're entitled to anything
• 51:50
  Speaker 11: from that person.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: Okay. None of what you said justifies slapping Ice Spice.
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: All right, this is why I want people like Ice
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: Spice to always have security.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: Well, number one, don't eating at McDonald's late at night
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: when you Ice Spice. Okay, that's number one. Get your
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: number three to go, all right, But if you're going
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: to be out, have your security, because security slows a
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: lot of that down.
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, security is for defense, right. The Great E forty
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: told me years.
• 52:15
  Speaker 11: Ago, right here on Breakfast Club, said Charlamagne, you gotta
• 52:18
  Speaker 11: make it difficult for people. When you're worth something, you
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: gotta act like it, and you gotta protect it. Okay,
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: that situation could have been a whole lot worse. Okay,
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: it could have been a whole lot worse for Ice Spice.
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: Thank god it wasn't, but it could have been. And
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: that's what security slows down, not to mention. Sometimes security
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: have to make an example a lot of people, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: that's what I wish would have happened.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: Yes, what I see videos like Yah Veyl what's whatever
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: her name is, I want to see them get beat up.
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: Okay, I really do, because.
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: The only reason things like this keep happening because we
• 52:48
  Speaker 11: don't see the consequences of these stupid ass actions. We
• 52:52
  Speaker 11: need to see people like her get beat up. We
• 52:55
  Speaker 11: need to see them getting shot sometime, okay, not killed,
• 52:58
  Speaker 11: but but a little flesh wound okay, and then we
• 53:00
  Speaker 11: need to see them going to jail.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 53:03
  Speaker 11: This sense of entitlement that some people have just because
• 53:06
  Speaker 11: we share in the same space is ridiculous, all right,
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: People like Ice Spies are not extras in your reality show.
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: That's a human that.
• 53:13
  Speaker 11: Deserves respect, just like you deserve respect, and disrespect should
• 53:17
  Speaker 11: not be tolerated on any level. Look, I don't know
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: if Ice Spice was rude to her not. That's not
• 53:23
  Speaker 11: what I saw on the video. I don't care. I
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: watched the video and I didn't like the way or
• 53:28
  Speaker 11: approached the table.
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: Just because you are a.
• 53:29
  Speaker 11: Fan of someone doesn't mean you get to disrespect their boundaries.
• 53:34
  Speaker 11: You came in on bs and that's why we need
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: her in jail. We need her prosecuted to the highest
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: extent of the law. We don't need people like Baia
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: just roaming the street. We have to do what we
• 53:44
  Speaker 11: have to do to get her off the street because
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: she's clearly not right in the head. Okay, you walk
• 53:48
  Speaker 11: up on a person in McDonald's, then you make a
• 53:50
  Speaker 11: video about it and lie on her to justify your foolishness.
• 53:54
  Speaker 8: Call to lapd.
• 53:56
  Speaker 11: Okay, I want her locked up by this afternoon if
• 53:59
  Speaker 11: they haven't got already.
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: Okay, what's her last name?
• 54:01
  Speaker 11: I don't know. Plaster it all over social media. Tell
• 54:04
  Speaker 11: the proper authorities where she can be found. This isn't
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: snitching because none of us are criminals. Okay, it's crime prevention.
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: If you want to see how someone is gonna treat you,
• 54:12
  Speaker 11: watch how they treat other people. Well, if you think
• 54:15
  Speaker 11: this woman wouldn't do you like she did, ice, spice
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: you bugging. But you also have to make an example
• 54:20
  Speaker 11: out of people like her, all right, And there's not
• 54:22
  Speaker 11: enough consequences for situations like that, you know, and the
• 54:27
  Speaker 11: fact that she just goes online it's like it's like
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: they want the attention.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean that you assaulted somebody.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the line and I'm gonna tell you
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: how I assaulted you.
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: And then you get locked up, and then you get
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: mad when people tell on you.
• 54:38
  Speaker 13: You're like, yo, you yourself, cameras, I'm gonna ask kids,
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: But let me ask you a question though, viol whatever.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: The lady's name was completely wrong, right, But Ice Spies
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: did have a friend there. She did, and the friend
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything.
• 54:54
  Speaker 13: Man, the girl would have been clawing to get out
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: of the restaurant, veo whatever would have been clawing to
• 54:59
  Speaker 13: get out the restaurant.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: Becau.
• 55:00
  Speaker 13: My friend would have been on that ass. What are

• 55:09
  Speaker 13: The girl that she was with probably not a fighter,
• 55:11
  Speaker 13: probably not none of that, but it's like she was
• 55:13
  Speaker 13: the only one.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: She's the only one.
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: As soon as you see you know what I'm saying,
• 55:17
  Speaker 13: fish swinging, you get up.
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: Hop over the table.
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: The friend she was listening to told her not to
• 55:21

• 1:01:11
  Speaker 11: I used to love about the Chris Rock Show it
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 11: was it was just full of uncomfortable truths.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: Even now, that whole era was full.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: Of uncomfortable truths, right right, do you think comedy is
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 11: still allowed to be that honest? I will wear in
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: an air now where everybody wants jokes but they don't
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: want the truth that comes.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: No, you know what, I think you're allowed to do it,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 12: but it's just who wants to do it, you know
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 12: what I'm saying. It's like I think it's there, but
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: I think people are. You know, if I'm trying to
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 12: fill an arena, you can't you know.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying. You can't be that common.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 12: You gotta be you gotta appeal to the masses, and sometimes.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: Right now with the masses want to hear.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: It's just it's ugly, you know, you know it so yeah, so,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 12: but I think you can't do it though you still
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: can do it good.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: I'm alad you said that I'm gonna do it.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Do it, do it.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: Let me just do it, Just do it exactly. I mean,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 12: you're funny, so just just do it.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah. But when I do, mean, when I do funny,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 6: people be getting mad.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: Who you can't do it for them. You gotta do
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: it for you.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 12: You gotta say what you want and hey, if what
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: I want to say and what makes me feel you know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 12: good about my my gift that I have. If I'm
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 12: only gonna get maybe maybe six hundred people, then that's
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 12: those are the six hundred people that that you know
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 12: you're supposed to be speaking to.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: But do people get offended too fast?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, but if you want, oh I want to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: you know, then then you got you gotta rise.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: But do people get offended too fast. Where it's like,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: you know, back then, jokes just flew. It didn't matter.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: You made fun of everybody. It could be the cripple person,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: that could be to this person, didn't matter. People laugh.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Now it doesn't seem like they laughed. They look for
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: a reason to say, you know what, we're gonna boycott
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: your next show.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah, everybody wants to you know, I even hate
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 12: using you know, like everybody, but a lot of people
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 12: like to uh be the be the critic.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: They want to be the police. And you know.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: So it's like if you say something and it might
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: offend you, but but you got to look at.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: Where that person is coming from.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: Maybe you know, maybe their life, their perspective is different
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: from from what you know. Yeah, you're offended, but you're
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: not staying in my shoes. You don't see it from
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: from my perspective. So I think that's what that's what
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: we we've gotten away from, is seeing it from I
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: got it, you know, see where you're coming from.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: I got it?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: Uh yeah, And I think the whole it's empathy. Really,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: it's empathy we've we've gotten away from that. People don't
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: don't don't get that.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and there's more than one perspective one.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 15: Do you think there's a when you talk about like
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 15: empathy and people you know, having an opinion about jokes.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 15: I feel like the punching up punching down conversation gets
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 15: brought up a lot in that, right. Do you feel
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 15: like there's a fine line between that, Like, do you
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 15: think somebody can punch down people still respect what they're saying,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: have empathy and they have actual take or do you
• 1:04:15

  Speaker 4: I could do. I'm the worst at audition.
• 1:08:49

• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: That you I suck at auditions.

  Speaker 12: I have actually been in a situation casting people and
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 12: and you know, hold the strip in auditioning and they've
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 12: they've actually taken the pages out of my hand and
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 12: say thank you really really yeah. Well, I'm like like, now,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 12: what was that that?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 19: That's recent?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: That's like audition is not for me?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: Is the memorizing lines of getting nervous in front of
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: the people. Is I'm like, no.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: I just I'm just horrible at it.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 12: But if you give me the part, it's a real job.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 12: I gotta I'm gonna show up.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring it because I'm like, you know, I gotta,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: I gotta deliver. But if it's like I'm not good
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: at trying out.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 8: Because I feel like that's kind of the same thing
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 8: a little bit.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: No, not really because yeah, I don't know. I mean
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: I get a little butterflies before I go out. But
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: that's good. That's that's good. Yeah, yeah, it made something. Yeah,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. You give me a script and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: I got audition.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 13: M in this movie under car where you fighting the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 13: natural urges to be funny or was it?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, a little bit.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 12: I mean there was like some moments where I was like,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 12: oh man, this would be real funny if I said
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 12: this right now. Like there's a scene of beach scene
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 12: where the little girl she runs out, you know, to
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 12: the to the to the water, and I was like, hey,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 12: you know, it's like make away and I won't.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: Say, you know, I can't swim like you.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 12: Want to, you know, but but noah, And also you
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 12: know it's really you know, on tight budget and yeah
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: type you know, on time.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: So it was like there was no.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: Room to you.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 15: Was there anything that he took from this character and
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 15: like portraying this character that you're taking back to the stage, Betie,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 15: even though it was a drama.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: Oh that's a good question. Yeah, I think it's it's
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: it's her where you have to like, uh, you like
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: forgive yourself.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 12: You know, her character, she had to get to a
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 12: point to where she had to really like forgive herself
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 12: and and and to be accountable.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 12: And so there's this's so there's moments on on stage
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 12: with my comedy where you know, I find ways to
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 12: to use that.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 15: I think we're you forgiving yourself about for right now,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 15: like currently on stage, Like what what what are those thoughts?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: I don't. I think it's more about.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 12: You know, like like you want to do better or
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 12: or you know, be a better person, you know, a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 12: better wife, better mother.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: That too.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, yeah that I can't believe. I can't even
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 12: believe I said that.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: Repeat that. But yeah, it's just it's just those those moments.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 12: But hey, that's why we keep going though, because there's
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 12: always opportunity to do.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: Better the next day or the next with the next minute.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 11: I would ask you about identity too, right, because you
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 11: know you talk about we were talking about what people
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 11: think and what people feel. Even when I look at
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 11: the characters Cheryl and the undercard. Did she have to
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 11: be called a butcher? He says? A butcher, retired boxing
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 11: champion and recovering alcoholics. Couldn't it just be retired boxing
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 11: champion and recovering.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Alcoholic plays a jack butch, Jack Jack butch.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 12: Come on, I mean, that doesn't bother me.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: I guess that doesn't bother me. Her character, you know,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: she was she was a former boxer.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 12: So I guess it's the you know, if that's how
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 12: the writer saw character, I'm like, okay, so yeah, I'm here.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: She was in shape. Yeah, I said to that, thank you.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 15: So I have to ask you what happened to the
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 15: upshaws because we had Mike EPs up here and this is.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 19: What he said.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 21: Wanda Sykes and the other lady Regina Hicks, they just
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 21: couldn't see how to eye really, you know, the lady
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 21: Regina Hicks, they both did a great job. First of all,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 21: before I go any further, they did such a great
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 21: job writing. We had the best writing team. I mean, man,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 21: the writing team was incredible. But I think the Lady
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 21: Regina she had she had an agenda that she wanted
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 21: to push with the show, you know, and everybody didn't
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 21: agree with it all the time. You know, they wanted
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 21: the show to go this way. Show started off this way,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 21: and then it starts slanting, and then it went over
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 21: there and then it went over there. We should have
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 21: just kept it right there in the middle, might have
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 21: did ten ten seasons. But I think it was about writing.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I love Mike.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 12: I love Mike dearly, and I think the show just
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 12: kind of like ran its course the kids got older.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: We you know, Mike is the show was his idea.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 12: He he came to me and was like, Hey, I
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 12: want to do the show about a working class family
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 12: in the Midwest.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: And that's what we That's what we delivered.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 12: I think the writers and the show running Regina.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: We yeah, every it was all. It was all love.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 12: But everybody's gonna have a difference of opinions and sometimes
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 12: you know, voices get get you know, we raise our
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 12: voices when you're.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: Passionate about what you're doing.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 12: So I think overall, we we all wanted to make
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 12: the best show possible. We just wanted to but with
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 12: just a difference of opinions, that's all. But I think
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 12: what we delivered everybody was was was happy with.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 19: They live and breathed by that show. Yeah.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 12: I love that show and I love everybody worked on
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 12: that show. I love what we did and I hated
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 12: to see it in but really, I mean it was.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 12: I thought we did a good job and uh, and
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 12: I'm happy with the way, you know, we finished it.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: So you wanted to keep it going.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: If if we could have done another season, I would have. Yeah,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: I would have signed up for another season.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 16: Damn.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: I don't think nobody said that.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: Absolutely that.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 12: You know, but but no, yeah, yeah, but no, I
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 12: think that Netflix they were a great.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: Partner, and uh, and I think it was.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 12: And we knew, we knew going into that last season
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 12: that was the last season, so we got to we
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 12: got to end it the way we wanted to end it.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 8: How do you make a special special material wise?
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: Push it, push, push the limits, don't don't go up
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: and just do it.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 12: Chris Rock always told me that from the jump, like
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 12: from my first special, which was a half hour, He's like,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 12: don't go up there and do a set that make
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: it special. So you got to push yourself, polish it,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 12: you know, just go go go to a place where
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 12: you know.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: Challenge yourself. Go go go to areas where.
