• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Kevin Hart was great as well too on the road. Yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: but I'm trying, like I don't know, I think because
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: it made me think what if we had, like you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: the in Living Color stream, like what if those worlds
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: collided today? What would we see and how would the challenge?

  Speaker 3: My brothers wouldn't do it, but I would. I'm just
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a troll like that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: That that's what I love to do, you know, And
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I think eventually that is exactly what I'm gonna do.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Here's so much. When I went on that show, My
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: My My.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I have a wonderful stylist, Jason and Ron, and these
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: brothers try to put me some cool boots and they

• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I said, why this is? You want to step up
• 10:46

• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I said no, no, I'm going in there with these young
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: negroes and they gonna be acting the fool I want
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: to be.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I don't be sliding the round.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want to feel like, give me put I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: wearing these snap On rick Owens.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna wear some rick On sneakers.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go in there with the youth and we're
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: gonna have fun. So whatever they was doing, I was
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: just like, oh, you want to dance, have fun.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: They couldn't even keep up ship after a while, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: then I had drink. Come on, now, don't give me
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: some drink. Drink and bang drinks.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: My heart was two of them bangs. My heart was
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: doing this the bank energy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: It's like energy, bro, that's like liquid coke.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: I was tweaking up. You think I sweat here. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: was sweating in my under arms. I looked like a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: substitute teacher.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: It was crazy in the level it out.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But she was just like, are you are you on something?
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I said, yes, Bang energy, drink for them.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Now, when you talk about the movie Him, was there
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: something in Isaiah White that challenged you will break.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Down what Him is for people that because they haven't
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: seen it yet?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What is Him?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: About Him is a basically it's a it's a psychological
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: horror thriller set in the world of football, and it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: it's basically like never me Idols. You know, It's like
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and what are you willing to sacrifice for success? So
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: a young brother comes to the greatest quarterback whoever played.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Basically like a Tom Brady's camp, I play Isaiah White.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: He's the greatest quarterback ever. Got eight rings, eight rings,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: so he's the goat. So a young man, he's about
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: to retire because he wants to be with his family,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: have a kid and chill out.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: He did it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: And so this other kid, this new kid, comes along
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and he comes to his camp, and he reminds him
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: of the great he used to be, and he's like,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I don't want to retire.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I want to make your life hell. I want to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: break you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: And so he goes about psychologically just dismantling him in
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: a horrific kind of way. And what happens is it's
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the franchise basically is a representation for and signing with,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: you know, like the devil, but it's not the devil.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: And it's all about the choice, because do you want
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: to be And he tells them, don't be me, be
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: better than me. So all these spoils are in there,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: all these athletes. For anybody, right, there's always a sacrifice.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Oh you want to get on, what are you willing
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: to do to get on? Because at a point it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: not worth your integrity. You never lose your integrity. Don't
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: be a part of the system. If it's you have
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: to lose your integrity, you buck the system and you
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: become the system. And that's what I've done my whole career.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: So that's why I really loved about the movie. There's
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: something beautiful and positive for young young people in our industry,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: whether whatever industry or whatever job.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: It is that there's a great message in there.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: For nothing should be taken literally, is what you say.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: No, man, people crazy that blood in the eye. You
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: know they're doing devil worship. They're wronging with sacrifice and ghosts.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: It ain't none of that, man. It's like, look, get
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: off of That is a great movie. It's about good
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: versus evil. At the end of the day, good is
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: gonna win. So you got to watch the movie, and honestly,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I think it's probably my favorite movie I've been in.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: I think just dramatically, just visually, justin Tipping did his thing.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Tyreek Withers is great in the movie. Julia Fox is great,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: all the supporting cast is great, the soundtrack is great.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: When y'all see this movie, it's not a movie you
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: gonna see one time. This is a movie you're gonna
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: see like four or five six.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Times they sent me, Wow, what you think?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I thought it was really good?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: But it hit the thing I think I and for me,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I think I gave my best performance. Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You and the dude that played camera, Yeah, carried the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: movie by fall. I had to watch it the first time,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, what did I just watch? When I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: watched it the second time, I understood a lot more
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But then when you said what you said just now,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, so that wasn't supposed to be taken literally.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: No, not literally, but but I really feel like this
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: this movie. You know, I'm just grateful because the director
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: let me off the chain. A lot of times, directors
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: try to cage you, and you know, I'm a lion
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: that I need a safari.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I don't like to be caged.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: And sometimes that's good that your cage, because then it's
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: about working the intensity.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But when you open up that when.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: You starved me for two weeks, and then you open
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: up that cage and and it's Sunday, and it's the
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: it's a full of people and kids, and you just
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: sitting there hungry, and you're going, I'm gonna eat and
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: he would just let me off the cage, let me
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: off the hinge, and just go go there and he
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: would just we do two takes. He goes, that was great,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that was awesome. I said, you need something else? He goes,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: n that was great, and he goes, let's do one more.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Say what do you want?
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: What do you need?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Do you need something specific? No, I'm good, he goes,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: just do and my eyes were light up. He was
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: telling me, throw out the script and do your interpretation
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: of what you feel inside.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: As an artist.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: This is Miles Davis playing my funny Valentine. Throw out
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the sheet music, and you express what you want given
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the instrument that you possess.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And so a lot of the stuff that we did
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: in it that's unhinged.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I was able to just create on the fly, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I know how to I know how to improvise as
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the character. And for a reason, I'm not trying to
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: be funny. I'm trying to break you, and breaking you
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: means I gotta humiliate you. Oh I'm gonna do that
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: with my jokes. And so there was a lot of
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: just freedom in that role. And I just feel like,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I think the world finally gets to see Marlin, and.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought he was stealing people powers.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: No, well he wasn't stealing powers.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: He was he was taking blood of greats and infusing it,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and then he put that blood in him, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: because he's passing it on and not until you get
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: to that point.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Where the two people gotta collide.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Now we're colliding good versus evil, and then you know
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: you'll see the movie.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: But man, I really it's a powerful movie.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: As an actor, right, do you prefer direction where tell
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: me how you want this? Or do you prefer let
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: me be be an actor, let me be art.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I preferred both because I know a director as a
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: producer and a writer. And you know director, I know
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: a director has a vision of how they wishing right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: How they see it. They're ready in the editing booth.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: So whatever you're doing, they're ready in the editing booth.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: What do you need If I do a take like
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: more than four times, there's something specific that I'm not
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: giving them, or the camera is messed up like this,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: out of focus, you know, the Dolly move. So I
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: don't take that personally, I know, but for me, I
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: like a take where you go do what you want.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Do what I want.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Now, now you're going to get something special. Now you
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: get the comedian. Now you get the writer that's been
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: writing movies since he was nineteen years old.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Now you get the.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Marlin that I have worked myself to be, and I
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: can improve and enhance any material.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: When you were shooting, I always wondered when people who
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: work with Jordan Peele like, because you have to watch
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: it so many different times, like Charlo Mae said, when
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: you're actually in it, are you ever in real time
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: realizing that something might be interpreted one way, like, oh,
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: that's what this means versus it being different than when
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: you first read the script.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I dig in. I do my work right.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: So before I get to set, I have a process,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Like I don't go show up and just earn my
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: lines in the trailer. No, no, no, no, you give me
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: a script. Marlin dives in. So I work with my
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: acting coach. I bring Leylan and Deron Thompson shout out,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: and you know you see my dramatic work like right
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: now when I'm locked I be locked in right now.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: So the work I do in stand up is the
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: same work I do when it comes to breaking down
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a script. So before I get to set, not only
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: do I know the lines, but I know the story.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I know the obstacles, I know the objective and every
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: scene there's an intention. What am I trying to get?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: And then I'm prepared so when the director goes, all
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: you gotta do is touch me like this and change
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: this and get this and give me this emotion. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I got it all prepared because I worked it the
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: night before the morning before. I work my body to
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: get my body into a certain way. Like I put
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: on muscle. I was twenty five pounds bigger than I
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: am now I lost the weight because I'm about to
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: do shorty and Scary Movie six, and I don't want
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: him being Buff's son.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I think that's weird.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So would I say, taking Magic Johnson's blood?
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Wow? Wow? Wow, Well now he would?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I may take magic blood this man, Richard, and you
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: better get some blood too.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Why he's telling that he on yachts and boats. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: want that blood.
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: Like the role, with it being such a psychological role, right,
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: did it have any effect on your psyche?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: No? I prayed every day. I prayed every day before
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I got to set. I prayed every day had to set.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I prayed every day before I went to sleep.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I really tethered myself to God on this dark journey
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: because you know, I know that spiritually, I wanted to
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: be protected, right, So that's first and foremost. Secondly, I
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: had gone through a lot. I had gone through like
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: it was the devastation that you wouldn't even believe. It
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: was like a biblical proportions. I lost sixty five people
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I love. I lost my mother, I lost my father.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I had lost so much and I was so broken,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: and God gave me this thing. I needed, this movie.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: This movie helped, and my stand up helped heal me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I was Tyrese Gibson cry on your show, what.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Do you want ma from me?
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: To do her?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I get what Tyreee was saying. I wanted to come
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: hug him because I know what he went through when
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: he lost his mama. I was texting him, that's a
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: very hard thing for you to get through and then
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: to lose your daddy two years later and Roma was
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: crumbling and I was just like So when I got
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: the movie Him, I saw this dark pool. I jumped
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: in this dark pool to find Isaiah because as a
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: character I started reading books book Tim Groven's Relentless, started
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: reading Kobe Bryant's Mama Mentality. I go, I went in mentally,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: and I dove in that pool to catch Isaiah, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: I found Isaiah. And then I looked up and I
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: saw Marlon face down like Iron Man at the end
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: of he fought Thanos, just like static. And I saw
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: a broken Marlin, and I was like, Yo, I need
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: to go get it him. I need to put Isaiah's
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: blood into that Marlin because there's so much more for
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: him to do. These are his best years. So I
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: went and I bought the two of them together, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: now I'm him.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So listen, when you see Isaiah pushing camera and to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: sacrifice everything, what moments in filming made you question what
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: sacrifice looks like to you? Like what boundaries are you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: willing to push? What are you willing to give up?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: It wasn't even during filming. Look at it. Listen. I've
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: been raised in a great culture.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I feel bad for people that came up in the
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: toxic culture where people had to use you to get
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: something for you from you, to get on. My brothers
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: didn't raise me that way. My brothers raised me like yo,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: if you want to work, you better you better write it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: You want to work, you better, you better produce it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: You want to work, then you better create it. I
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: didn't get raised going, Hey, what you gonna do? You
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: want this part, well, suck on this meat.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I didn't have that. I had, Yo, you want this part,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: you better write it. From when I was on was
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: in Living Color, ain't nobody was writing for me. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: had to write my own sketches. Snuffing Room, Me and
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Sean wrote that, what's the name the deaf jam sketch?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Me and Sean wrote that mister ugly Man.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: I wrote that I had.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: If I wanted to eat, I had to kill. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: so all my movies, me and Sean wrote those movies,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: my TV show were created. My TV show, everything we did,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: we learned how to. And that was the beauty of Keenan.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Keenan always anybody was around Keenan learned that you gotta
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: work for Jim Carrey, j Lo, Jada Pinkett.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Anybody, Keenan Sally.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: But so many people that was in that man's circle,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: they would go, you want it, then you're gonna work
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: for it. And so he said to me as a kid.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: You gotta be undeniable to make it as a black
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: man in this business. You have to be an unstoppable,
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: undeniable force of nature because they will write you off.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm surviving like a roach thirty five years later.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Do you don't think these niggas wanted be gone after
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: white chicks? I should have been dead. I should I
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: should have been gone. After more money, you get a
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: window to be hot. It's hard to stay relevant and
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: keep getting hotter for thirty five.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Years and my best years ahead of me. That's because
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I do the work.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: It's all about the work, all about the instrument, all
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: about refining your art.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I want to be like Prince. I want to play
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: every instrument I have. I want to I just work it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: You just work it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: That man started out just being a dancer and a
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: singer and guitar and over the years, look what that
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: man did with his lifespan.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna do with mine. White chicks. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: gotta ask white chicks, right, hilarious?
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of those movies.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think people caught at first, but then when
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: they caught it, they're like, this is one of the funniest.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Would you ever do a sequel to it? I would.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I'm ain't for technology, I ain't for AI. I don't
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: want to sit and make up seven hours again. Set
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: for sixty days, sitting in seven hours of makeup and
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: then working fourteen hours after that, which means I'm sleeping
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: two hours every day to do this movie. Nah AI
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: is coming, so I got to get in makeup two
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: times and then the AI will do the work. I'm
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: down for that, But other than that, I want to
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: do black Man in the movie where I come in,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I do five minutes to make up, and I get
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: out there a twelve hours.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: After White Chicks, they wanted you gone. What were some
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: of the like, did you have a face, me, hardships
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: or any challenges after that?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Nobody's supposed to be famous this long, they especially if
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: you black. They know nobody that's unheard of to stay
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: around that long. It's because you work, right, I will
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: say this, Hollywood's a great place, but they don't know
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: what to do with you, right.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: So the opportunities you get.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: There's only a small margin that you're gonna get those
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: opportunities right, because before it gets to me Will Smith
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: got that script, Eddie Murphy got that script, Jamie Fox
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: got that script.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: So you gotta wait for all these people to turn
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: it down.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: And I feel bad for regular regular actors because then
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: you gotta wait for after me. Then after me, you
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: gotta wait for Nick Cannon. Then you gotta you know
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, that's that's a long time to
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: wait to act. Maybe get a role. But if you
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: create the role and you put yourself as the star,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: now I can cast other people in my vision.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: So these are my best years.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And I started as a farmer and an agriculture My
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: brother taught me farming and agricultural to be an agriculturist.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Now I'm an industry. Industry.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Industry, philanthropy and education is the three things that I'm
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: gonna work on in terms of building this brand.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: For you personally? What was more frightening?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I guess harder to portray, like the supernatural psychological aspect
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: or the human fears like failure and insecurity agent.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: See, I think the human it wasn't harder.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I think that stuck with me more because as a
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: as an aging star, right you start thinking about those things. Luckily,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: like I said, I'm not insecure like that because I
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: create my own way, so I don't care who coming
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: up next. I'll play out the next man because I'm
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: right in the movies, so I could put you in
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: my movie because I know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: What I'm doing.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: And then when I'm getting too old and I start
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: getting them Morgan Freeman moles on my face, I ain't
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: gonna ain't. I ain't gonna be trying to be the
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: sexy man. I am pulling this nick out with gray
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: hairs all over it. We're gonna be behind the scenes.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: But these are my best years, and I preserve myself
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: physically so that at fifty three I can play thirty five.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: So now these are my star years, right And everything
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: else was just practice and knowing and learning.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm very grateful to God to be on this
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: journey and continue to love it. I love this. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: love it. How long did it? How long did it
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: take to shoot him? Him?
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Took about two and a half months, two to three months,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: and we was in New Mexico, But you know, preparation
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: started six months before that. You know, I'm going on
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: walks every morning, I'm sitting in red light therapy, I'm
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: working out two times a day. You know, preparation starts
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: way before you actually get to set. When you get
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: to set, now it's time to have fun.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask you.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: You said you prayed a lot throughout this what did
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: the movie teach you personally about your spirituality?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: But how good God is and how you should how
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: everybody needs the wind of God to really get to
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: where you're going. And if you don't humble yourself and
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: just know that there's a higher power that one day
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: you will you will lose yourself. You will lose yourself
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: and you will think you are God. And that happens
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: to a lot of us, you know, and I love Will.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: When Will hit Chris, I got concerned not because of
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: the mental aspect, but because of the spiritual aspect. When
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: he did his speech and he didn't thank God first,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: That's what I was concerned from. And then when he
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: when he lost, when he lost his stuff, and then
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: that's why he tethered to God afterward. And I go, Okay,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: now you're going on the journey now, the you that
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: you were, you needed to go through this. You needed
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: that breaking to understand that there's something bigger than you,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: which is God, and through that journey and through the
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: hard work, we're gonna be all right. He gonna be
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: a better will than he was before. But sometimes you
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: need that moment and you can't think you God. There's
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: only one God and God was raised with God, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: you can never take that from me.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: That's what Lauren said. You know a lot of older people,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: especially the old people, they're like, don't don't y'all celebrate Halloween.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Halloween's for the devil. Don't y'all do them? Scared him.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: My daddy was that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: My daddy was turning in his grave like now done
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: devil day turned with y'all witness no Halloween when you
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: do those type of movies. Hey man, he listened. Now
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: I'll be having Halloween parties. Christmas, Oh, we have a
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: hell of a Christmas.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I go on sometime.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I go to his casket and I just doing it
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: with Christmas, play Christmas carols and.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Right next to him and my mama, and I know
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: he like, you know so, but my but my father knows.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: When my father passed, you know, I watched him say
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: a prayer before he died, and he didn't ask God
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: for anything, ask God.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: All he said was thank you so grateful. Thank you
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: for letting me see my children and my grandchildren be born,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: to be raised, this family that you gave me. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: it was so powerful that and when he left, he said,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: you know, if you ever wanted to find me, I
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: need you to open that book. So the one thing
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I got for.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: My father is his Bible, and I keep my Daddy's
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Bible by my bed, and whenever I think about my father,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: I'll get.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I wake up. I read my Bible, just like my
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: father said for me to do. And so he said,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: if you know my father, then you'll know your father.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: So I'm on the journey to really embrace more of
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: God in my life. I've been very settled and very chill.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I don't be going to clubs. That's why I smoked
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: my cigars and.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Have me a little whiskey and I just chill out
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: with my friends and we just laugh and hang out,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and you know, you find a good life outside the noise.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: And my mama, before she died, she said, yeah, well
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: then it is the contrast of my family. Said yeah, nigga,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Well I'm in every book. So whatever, whenever you read anything,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Mama is in that book. So now when I'm reading
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: green Eggs and hand and my daughter, I'm like, hmm,
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: ham spelled backwards. Ma.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Going back to what you said, being the preparation takes
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: longer than you know, the actual filming of the movie.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: What was your training regimen because you play a legendary quarterback.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. I feel physically got into this part.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: See Tyreek, he twenty five, you know them, twenty five
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: year old. They they look at weight and naked, buff.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I had titties before I went to shoot. It was
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: after COVID. I had titties. I had a belly out
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: shaped like a little rick ross and no it was.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: And so I really was doing like push ups, sit ups,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: pull ups. I was doing everything.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: And my trainer, Adam Quinter shout out to Adam quint
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: t you can find him on Instagram qt Training and
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: then h CJ Fit in New Mexico. So it was
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: a hell of a regiment. So when we did football training,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Tyreek was throwing the ball because he used to play
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: for Florida State. Now he was off the bench, but
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: he he.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Was the water boy.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: But he was around all those great players and he
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: got a ring from the Orange Bowl. Didn't play, didn't
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: didn't run a yard, you know, hey, but he drank
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of gatorade that game, like he did something,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: and he got a ring.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: So he got a ring.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: And when he gets started throwing the ball because he's
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: a wide receiver, he was gunning it like god. And
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Jordan Palmer was teaching us how to throw and everything.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: So I went to camp and he had done camp
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: like maybe maybe six times before I went. So I
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: wver there with my old arm and I started, I
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: go to throw, and then you know, I'm pigeon told.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: He said stop. I said what.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I said, Well, you needed something different. I need to
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: throw with MOREY goes, No, we need to teach you
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: how to walk again. I said what He said, Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: your pigeon told, and I need you to walk one
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: foot in front of the other.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I looked at that man. I said, yeah, this last
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: time I'm coming to this camp, and I laughed.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I never went back, And now you ain't gonna do
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: that to me, teach me to walk while this nigga
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: throwing eighty yards. So I started having quarterback coaches come
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: to my backyard in my house to train me or
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I go to fields and I would train, and as
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: soon as I got to set, I went to.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Go throw a ball and my director said, what are
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: you doing? Put that down.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: I said, I gotta throw. He said, no, you don't,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: said you fifty three. He said, you see that young
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: man right there with that funny hair, dude like yours.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I said, yeah, watch him throw this ball.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: And he threw it like eighty yards. I said, that's dope.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, that's what he's gonna do. He said,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't. We didn't hire you for that, yo. We
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: hired you for for your acting and your abilities. So
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: go eat, eat the hell out of this roll. And
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I just ate do football. One time I do. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: threw it maybe.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Uh. There's about three scenes where I had to throw,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: but I didn't have to worry about throwing.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Tyreek was walking around.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: He had ice packs and shoulder packs, and I was
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: just like, yeah, young buck, and that's welcome to the
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: big leagues.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Young buck.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Where you have attempted to add comic relief in the
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: in the movie.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I always gotta this.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: There's some funny stuff in there, but it's not like
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to be funny it's just funny because of
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: the situation and because he twisted. It's like the Joker.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: It's like Denzel and Training Day. To me, the bad
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: guy just to have fun. Your hero is only as
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: good as the bad guys. So the better the bad
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: guy is, the better the hero can be. So I
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: made sure I just gave it different complexions and textures.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: It's a performance. It's untethered. It's different. It's just honestly,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: we all watched it, my agents watch it. It's like
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I I haven't seen many performances, not yet. Damon's gunna blow.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: It's too dark. Keenan. Keenan, may go see it. Sean,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's stupid, Sean. Everything I do, that's stupid.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Why you wanna do that? One time?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: One time I was going up for the Richard Pride movie.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Sean said, whyle you doing that? I said, because I
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: want to want to Oscar. He goes for what that's stupid?
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I was like, because that's my dream. Nigga's Richard. But
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: we me and Sean were different. But Sean was saying,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: was you do comedy and you do us? And I
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: was like, I do do y'all. But I also do me,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: and I got my my dreams outside of us that
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: I want to accomplish, and I'm gonna own that. I'm
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: just not gonna I'm gonna follow the footprints up to
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: a point and then i gotta go. I'm gonna go
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: this way because I gotta be a trailblazer for the
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: next generation, for.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: My kids and my brother's kids who may not want
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: to do comedy. It's hard.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: That's interesting that just taking a role like Isaiah feel
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: like a turning point then like maybe changing what people
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: expect to hear from.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: It's a game changer. This is it's a game changer
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: when comedians start doing drama. Yeah, that's when you really
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: blow up. That's when you become legendary. When Robin Williams
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: started doing dramatic stuff, when Jim Carrey started doing dramatic stuff,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: when Will Smith started doing dramatic stuff, when Jamie Fox
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: started doing that's the game changer.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Because the comedy is hard, But it's the vulnerability.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: That comedians have that make us so special in dramas
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: because when you see it the funny guy hurting you hurt.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: When when people see me hurt or messed up, they
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: feel bad.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: Oh no, don't let that happen to Marlin, not the
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: goofy one, you know, and make us laugh and smile.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, so you got your game change of role. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: saw a Hypebeast article say you're in your goat era.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: I'll watch your CBS this morning.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't say that.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say that, said you're in your goal era.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Well that I would never call myself. I don't self
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: proclaim right. I think that's false idlehood.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I don't, I won't. I don't do that.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I don't because to me, goat is how good am
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: I in my body with the tools that I work,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: that God has blessed me with, how much work am
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: I doing? I want to be the greatest Marlin that
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: has ever existed in terms of myself. And that's not
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: about competition. I love all my brothers. I respect all
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: my brother I respect Will Smith, I respect Dave Chappelle,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: I respect Kevin Hart. I don't be bashing nobody, but
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: they're them and they being their best them, and I'm
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: trying to be my best me, and that's all that's important.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: So goat era, and you know that conversation that's for
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: everybody to talk about. For me, I just want to
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: be the best Marlin Let, the best Marlin Win.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: I just feel when I've been watching it in view
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: is getting ready for this, that there's a you have,
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: like a feeling of like there's like happiness, but there's
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: like an arrival even though you've already been here. You
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: said it took fifty three years to feel special on CBS.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to get confident.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: But that's to me listening to you say that, it's
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: crazy because like you've always been Marlon Wayne, I.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Have, but there was missing.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I tap.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, you know I trust you because you be on
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: your facts.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Is when I watch your interviews, I feel, I don't know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: it just feels different, like you feel like you've arrived. Now,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: why what is the feeling with this role?
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: I've done the work and life has life breaks you
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: and rips you apart, and you survived through that and
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: you just go, oh, I get it. I'm here and
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: and you know, like I said, I was always a happy,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: go lucky dude. Once I survived the trauma and the
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: pain that I went through, I'm a better actor. I'm
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: a better actor because I've been more and now my
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: comedy I don't write about pop culture. I write about
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: what hurts me. That I write from blood. So when
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: you see my stand up, it's not just oh he's
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: telling silly jokes. Ooh he got a story. Yo, there's
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: something that I learned when I watch that it's coming
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: from a special place. And when you can make your
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: pain funny, that's when you start getting great. Richard Pryor
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: took his pain.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: He had a heart.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Attack and he said, you know what's funny about having
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: a heart attack? And he did the most brilliant bit
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: on having a heart attack. That's where you for me,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: that's when I got confident, when I started doing stand
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: up and really looking at myself as an artist and going,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I want to be better writing scripts ain't enough, Acting
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: ain't enough. Producing is not enough. And then when I said,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I want to be a superstar stand up so now
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I can do it all. Put me anywhere, let's go,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: let's rock, let's get it crazy.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: That she's talking about the I've arrived moment, right, But
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: we looked at you from that from a long time ago.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Just look at the history that you've done. You know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: every time they said you couldn't did it over? They
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: try to take your you know what you've done, and
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: you said, I you I don't need y'all.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it my own way and his classes. Right,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: so you have to write down like top five and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: living color sketches. I guarantee you miss the ugly man
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Had good instincts.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: It's weird that you're saying this is my you know,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I have arrived moment where we looked at it so long.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like you don't get the necessary I
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: don't want to say respect, but the kudos that you
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: deserve because you are the funny guy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: You are the cool guy you are. I mean, it's
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: a lot, right, It's beyond being the funny guy, the
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: cool guy. I think you know.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: It's also I'm the baby of legends. It's hard when
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: you're the baby of legend. You got all these legendaries
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: dudes doing legendary things and you were a part of
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: that tribe. Oh that's keenan damon little brother. And not
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: to say that I want to stand out. It takes
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: time to know Marlin, right. It took Michael Jackson a
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: long time before he became Michael. You know, he was
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: told with his brothers till he was like thirty five,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: forty years old, and he was like, Okay, I need
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: bad and you know, off the wall he's done little
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: things and then Thriller hits and you go, oh, he's Michael.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: It takes time for you to stand apart when you
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: come from such a legacy. And I never wanted to
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: stand apart because I love WANs. I die WANs, I
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: breathe WANs, I live WANs And for the past fifteen years,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I've just been working on Marlon so that when I
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: come back to WANs, I could be a better, stronger
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: finger and that big and that fist and do our
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: best work. That's why Scary Movie six this is big.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: This is bringing us all back together. And now I
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: got a completely different skills set than I had when
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I did the first one. So I can't wait till
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: next summer June twelfth, in theaters, Scary Movie six were
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: coming with these laughs.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Everybody need these labs.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: And I just feel like That's why I said, I
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: feel like I've arrived, because everything's moving in slow motion.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I get it. It's the matrix.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I also wonder the expectation of being a Wan. It's
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: kind of like they just expect greatness from me. Also
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: it's just like whatever, Yeah, but that goes with it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: But do I think about this the things that I
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: haven't gotten yet that I don't yearn for it? Don't
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't. It's not that that makes my identity. But
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I want them statues. I want that in me.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I want that Oscar I want that Grammy for my
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: comedy album. I want that Tony for a Broadway player.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I want those things and I'm gonna get those things.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: And if I fall short and.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: I don't get an ego, if I got a guy,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: I'm happy. If I got an ah, I'm happy. But
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: I know that I'm putting in the work, and even
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: after I get that to me, I still never made
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: it because you stay hungry as an artist. Look at
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: guys like Kobe sixty points on his last game. He
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: kept doing the work. It's about doing the work. The
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Kobe that was in the league when he was nineteen,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: he was dope then. But you see the Kobe at
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: thirty five when he was starting to win those rings consecutively.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: That's a different Kobe Bryant. Then after he left, him
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: and Shack had their dismantling of that team for him
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: to go get another ring or two more rings after
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: that without shock.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: That's because that man was an animal. You gotta be.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: I'm an animal. I'm in that gym, I'm working out,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: I'm working my instrument. I'm on the stage. I am
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: not going to fail my moments.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Period, clock it, clock it.

• 43:39
  Speaker 3: but man, somebody I'll come here first. Man, I was
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I wonder to know if I could audition for scary movies.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Girl, we don't cast it. I would love to have
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: had you in there because okay, well let me think, man,
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: you can die. Of course everybody asked me to be
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: and I'm killing her. Everybody dying, everybody dying. You know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: when we do Scary Movie seven, I got you, and
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: I can write something funny and be like, hey, what's
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: something that you could do?
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: I would like, I like taill them making suits, So
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: what do you like to do? You know what I mean?
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: It's like Kyle was like, yo, put me in. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: was like, all right, give me a second, and I'm
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm creating it. It's good, it's gonna happen.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: We're doing it. Should have been here last Sorry she
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: was having a baby.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Can she breastfeed her baby on camera? Baby milk?
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, I got two more clues. What's the line? Can
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: you do be acting? Oh?
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Because I thought it was only fan thing I saw,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh that's a part, that's the part.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you were doing it too, Okay, okay, know that
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: that's how I see how you got that baby.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: What's the line between being a hero and a villain?
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: From Isaiah's perspective.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: I think and in his eyes he is the hero.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: From an ego perspective, he's not the villain. He's the
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: hero and he ain't gonna let nobody. In his eyes,
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: Cam is the villain. He's trying to take my spot
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: and I'm not gonna let it happen. I sacrifice everything
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: to get here. You don't deserve what I got. And
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: so it was dark thinking. A lot of Isaiah is
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: dark thinking, very negative, very arrogant, you know, full of himself.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: And so that's just the way I approached it, you know, pective.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: I like to live a humble life, but I think
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: you got to be humble as a person in a
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: shark when it comes to your business, when it comes
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: to your your your you're dying thirst to get things done.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: I don't sit there and wait on things to get done.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm a killer.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: I am. There's a I read the book by Tim Groven, Relentless.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: There's coolers, closers, and cleaners, Tim Groven Grover. He was
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Michael Jordan's trainer, Kobe Bryant's trainer, Dwayne Wage's trainer.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: I want to be a cleaner. I want give me
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: the ball. I know what to do it. Just give
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: me the ball.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: If I practice enough that I own the right, give
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: me the ball. I'll know what to do with it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: It may be it passed, it may be a three
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: point zero. I may drive and get fouled and go
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: to that free throw line. And I'm an eighty five
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: percent shooter, and I'm gonna make it happen. If I'm
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: double teamed, I know the dish. It often give me
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: the ball. That's where I'm at in my career right now.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: These I'm waiting on parts. I know my next seven
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: movies that I have that I want to develop, two
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: that I have written, one that's almost being set up.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: I want to, you know, do a romantic buddy comedy
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I got. I'm set up right now for me and
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Kicky Palmer, like I see it. I see it in
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: ways that I don't know if anybody else has had.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Like a lot of my peers, I love him to
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: death and they brilliant.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: I think I'm the.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: Only one that's been writing movies since I was nineteen
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: years old in producing movies, and now as a star,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I get to write and produce movies for myself and
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: then look at scripts in a different way, like, oh,
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: here's how we can make that better.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just in a zone. Everything moves in slow motion.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: I see air.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: What now you're supposed to say, Hey, can I be
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: in those movies?
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: That was a good kid.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: But you know what I would tell you, you funny,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: you should be writing and developing movies on your off time.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: That's what you should be doing. You gotta because you
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: on stage right, you're doing You're still doing your stand up.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Don't you feel the growth.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: When you do stand up?
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, I'm that dude, Because ain't nothing better than bombing.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: When you feel that cold air of a bomb, Like
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: you throw a joke out there and it just hang
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: there and you get a oh, yeah, and you feel
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: that Despininity're like, I'm a double down.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Now I gonna double down. And that's how you get
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: the better joke. You keep digging. You can't be afraid
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: of silence. But you should be writing, producing, studying, because
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: after this, what do you do? Or you could do
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: it both? See nowadays you can do it all.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Look at you writing books and you know you selling
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: houses and doing all kinds of stuff, and everybody, we all.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Are all the industry. We have learned that we are
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: not just a part of the industry. We are industry.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: My last question, yes, but I just almost took my
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: draws off and threw them at the crowd.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: When it comes to your personal life, how close to
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the role of Isaiah was it balancing showing somebody at
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the top of their game but also being at a
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: breaking being, being at a breaking point? What do you
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: mean somebody was at the top of his game, but
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: he was also at a breaking point. Have you ever
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: felt like that in your own life? No, even with
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: all the grief and everything.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: There's a synapse, right that these all these things that happened,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: I think a breaking point was physically, mentally emotionally, Oh man,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: I think three years ago, I was at a breaking point,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: and that's why I stressed mental health, right. I wear
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: this mental health awareness thing to remind myself, you know,
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: as a black man, you have to take care of
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: your mental health. You because I got there. I seen
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: myself tossing myself off of a building. That happened to
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: me twice, because that was everything was hitting me at
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: one time, and so much pain when my mama died
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: and my daddy died and then my daughter transitioning. At
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: that point, there was just so much devastation happening that
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: I just felt like I can't take it. And that's
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: when I called my two therapists. And that's the thing
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: about therapists. I have two therapists. I have a female
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: and a male, And because I want to make sure
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: that I govern both sides of myself, my.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Masculine self, my feminine self that could listen and the
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: women when they have you know, and sometimes you need
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: a woman's voice.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: And it's funny, my female therapist protects my masculinity more
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: than my male therapist and supports it. So I think
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: it's important to have therapy and to have God. Those
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: three things and a great sense of humor. Those three
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: things have gotten me through. And you know God is
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: so real. You ain't found God until you heard never
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: would have made and you crying in the car, and
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: you crying in the car with the snop bubbling, your
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: nose shaking, going yes, I never would.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Have made it with our God. I never would have
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: made it. God is good. There you go, Malloweyen's ladies.
