- 0:47Speaker 2: with me today.
- 0:48Speaker 1: We're going to get into a conversation about filmmaking, independent filmmaking, UH,
- 0:52Speaker 1: the comedy, horror scene, and where things are evolving to
- 0:55Speaker 1: because we have a special project that we will be
- 0:57Speaker 1: presenting to you guys exclusively here at the Latest. So
- 1:01Speaker 1: without further ado, do all you want to take the floor,
- 1:04Speaker 1: introduce yourself to the people. This's your first time on
- 1:06Speaker 1: my podcast.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I appreciate being on here, man, I've always I couldn't
- 1:10Speaker 3: wait to get on it because I see you doing
- 1:11Speaker 3: your thing, you bubbling that, so I figure I want
- 1:14Speaker 3: to get on while you're taking off, you know, and
- 1:15Speaker 3: it's a perfect time.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Now talk to me a bit, because I mean, we
- 1:22Speaker 1: know you Duvall as comedian, actor, social media commentator, Like,
- 1:29Speaker 1: what do you call what you doing social?
- 1:31Speaker 3: I call this the Duvall effect. I do what most
- 1:35Speaker 3: people don't do. You know what I'm saying. I'm like
- 1:37Speaker 3: a trail blazer that there wasn't nobody did what I
- 1:40Speaker 3: did before. So that's why it's hard to kind of
- 1:42Speaker 3: put me in a box because you know, I create
- 1:44Speaker 3: the lane. But now moving on to being like a
- 1:47Speaker 3: producer like on my Tyler period, Marlon Wayne's type all
- 1:51Speaker 3: the Wayne's brother type thing, and I'm doing it with
- 1:53Speaker 3: my man Eric over Swirl because you know, you might
- 1:56Speaker 3: as well get with somebody that's already been in the game,
- 1:59Speaker 3: already on they things. So I figured we put our
- 2:01Speaker 3: hands together, we can come out and take this to
- 2:04Speaker 3: a whole nother level.
- 2:05Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And you mentioned Eric.
- 2:07Speaker 1: We have Eric here as well Swell Films. Talk to
- 2:10Speaker 1: me as a bit about you, Swell Films and how
- 2:14Speaker 1: you got teamed up with Little Duval and figuring out
- 2:17Speaker 1: this new horror that we're bringing to theater.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think the team up is organic. We
- 2:23Speaker 4: did a comedy special with Little Duval a few years back.
- 2:27Speaker 4: I'm a producer here in Atlanta, Georgia, make a lot
- 2:31Speaker 4: of TV movies and a lot of independent films, and
- 2:33Speaker 4: it was just time. We were looking for something that
- 2:36Speaker 4: could capture Duval everything that we see Duvall do on
- 2:41Speaker 4: Instagram with Erica and Jay Ski, and we just wanted
- 2:44Speaker 4: more of those moments, you know, and you just get
- 2:47Speaker 4: those quick little bites. So we were like, what could
- 2:49Speaker 4: be a vehicle where we could see more of that?
- 2:52Speaker 4: And so we created this horror comedy where some people
- 2:54Speaker 4: play themselves. Some people actually play characters in the you know,
- 2:57Speaker 4: in like money Back Mafia plays Eric the t bone
- 3:00Speaker 4: in there, Duval, Eric and Jaski play themselves. So that
- 3:04Speaker 4: that became the vehicle that we used to bring it
- 3:07Speaker 4: out to the world.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Talk to me a bit about the long line and
- 3:11Speaker 1: the premise of the film, right, because it's called Camp Duvall.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Everybody come in and hang out and then things get
- 3:15Speaker 1: a little crazy, which is very Duval esque. But I
- 3:18Speaker 1: mean it's like getting crazy crazy, right, Like you have
- 3:21Speaker 1: a plot that there's there's blood, there's screams, there's all
- 3:24Speaker 1: the things.
- 3:24Speaker 2: So talk to me a bit about you know what
- 3:27Speaker 2: the story is.
- 3:28Speaker 3: It's just people dying and stuff. You know, we're trying
- 3:30Speaker 3: to hope they don't die. You know, it ain't that
- 3:32Speaker 3: much stought. We don't want to make it like it's
- 3:34Speaker 3: gonna be a deep movie like we black.
- 3:36Speaker 2: People die in horror films.
- 3:38Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all that matter.
- 3:39Speaker 3: People die, we laugh, they have a good time, and
- 3:42Speaker 3: luckily you don't die while watching it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Why why this genre?
- 3:46Speaker 4: Uh?
- 3:47Speaker 1: You know right now, like I think a lot of
- 3:49Speaker 1: people are doing and dabbling and I know a little
- 3:51Speaker 1: real we just saw what happened with scary movie and
- 3:55Speaker 1: they're come back to the box office like for Duval.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Why do you stick get your toe in this right now?
- 4:01Speaker 3: Well, I've always been in the scared movies. I like,
- 4:03Speaker 3: I've always been getting masks and stuff. I don't know
- 4:06Speaker 3: I probably wore up there at the breakfast club before,
- 4:08Speaker 3: but I wear masks all the time, so I naturally
- 4:11Speaker 3: it was a horror film freak. And then it was
- 4:13Speaker 3: just I just felt like it's a good thing for
- 4:15Speaker 3: me to transition to horror films and I adapt to anything.
- 4:19Speaker 3: I mean, and when you do horror films, you can't. Really,
- 4:22Speaker 3: It's just fun to me. I've been doing it. I've
- 4:24Speaker 3: been doing watching horror films my whole life. I feel
- 4:26Speaker 3: like everybody, all my followers have so they understand, they
- 4:29Speaker 3: understand my path, my journey, and it's just another part
- 4:32Speaker 3: of my journey when I moved into Camp Douvall.
- 4:34Speaker 5: When I first moved to Camp Duval, we.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Were scared as hell. We thought it was all types
- 4:38Speaker 3: of ghost here. So I just put that in the movie.
- 4:41Speaker 3: And here we are.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Talk a bit about the Camp Duval in real life though,
- 4:46Speaker 1: because I know a part of well, I know personally
- 4:48Speaker 1: from just listening to you do interviews and following you
- 4:51Speaker 1: on social that Camp Douval in real life has come
- 4:53Speaker 1: with a lot of life experience for you. So tell
- 4:55Speaker 1: us about that and how, if anything from your real
- 4:58Speaker 1: life experience living on Kim Duval bringing people there went
- 5:02Speaker 1: into making it funny in this movie.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Well, well for the movie, it's it's not so much
- 5:07Speaker 3: for the movie, it's more all the night side of
- 5:09Speaker 3: Camp Duvald, well Cam Duval in the daytime, it's like
- 5:12Speaker 3: to bring my family, my people, my my ecosyster to
- 5:15Speaker 3: my tribe. They all got a place, a sanctuary where
- 5:18Speaker 3: they can come vibe. Even people like you. You know
- 5:20Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
- 5:20Speaker 5: You come over here.
- 5:21Speaker 3: You know, all my people's over Charlemagne ain't been here yet,
- 5:24Speaker 3: but Dolly has, you know what I'm saying. So anybody
- 5:27Speaker 3: that's in my people that I love or that I
- 5:29Speaker 3: want to help, they come over here and they get
- 5:31Speaker 3: to they get to express themselves, they get to relieve,
- 5:35Speaker 3: they relieve theyself or whatever they want to do, you
- 5:37Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So that's really what it is,
- 5:39Speaker 3: and it's been growing to do that. And it's a
- 5:41Speaker 3: platform for artists to come showcase their talent too. That's
- 5:45Speaker 3: why did the Waterfall showcase, to showcase talent that I
- 5:50Speaker 3: think that that that that can go to the next level.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that the last video I saw you
- 5:55Speaker 1: posted at the Waterfall. You had just dropped your daughter
- 5:57Speaker 1: off to college, right, you were celebrating.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I was saying celebrating my daughter getting dropped off
- 6:02Speaker 3: of college. I had dropped my daughter off the tuestkig
- 6:04Speaker 3: and shut out the test skigy t you you know
- 6:06Speaker 3: type ship.
- 6:07Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 6:07Speaker 3: But I went down there, and you know, I went
- 6:10Speaker 3: down there and saw the saw the little boys. They
- 6:12Speaker 3: look older than me, them cute doll niggas, you know
- 6:16Speaker 3: they and then they talked about Then I posted, talked
- 6:18Speaker 3: to shit about it.
- 6:19Speaker 5: It's like, no, we're not like that.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Then my daughter posts a video she had a at
- 6:23Speaker 3: a college party and all I see them niggas chanting
- 6:26Speaker 3: is take that ruball.
- 6:28Speaker 5: Fuck their whole meat, the meat, meat, the meat.
- 6:32Speaker 1: That's what they are. They Greek the boys I was
- 6:35Speaker 1: hitting at.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the same niggas.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I was about that because when I saw and this
- 6:41Speaker 1: is why I wanted to talk about your real life.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Can't do vall in your experiences because I don't know
- 6:45Speaker 1: if people get it. But like when I everything is
- 6:47Speaker 1: like a film with you. When I saw you was
- 6:50Speaker 1: dropping your daughter off to college, I was like, I
- 6:52Speaker 1: know that alone was the whole experience, because it's a
- 6:55Speaker 1: lot that you got to understand about the different Greeks,
- 6:57Speaker 1: the different exactly.
- 6:59Speaker 2: All right, Yea, did you see the kappas too, all
- 7:04Speaker 2: the strolling and the chimmy.

- 7:17Speaker 3: lot this this semester. She definitely gonna see me a lot.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I'm popping up.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Hopefully you stay busy because this this movie's coming and
- 7:25Speaker 1: you can't let her have.
- 7:26Speaker 2: A We're gonna do it.
- 7:26Speaker 3: I'm gonna this is how I'm gonna do it. Matter
- 7:28Speaker 3: of fact, We're gonna do this here. We're gonna do
- 7:29Speaker 3: a premiere down there to Skiky too, just for a
- 7:32Speaker 3: reason to be down.
- 7:33Speaker 5: I love it. I'm doing. I know what I'm doing.
- 7:36Speaker 3: See how I intertwined my my career and my real
- 7:38Speaker 3: life all in the one. That's how I've been doing
- 7:41Speaker 3: my whole life. Man, that's a good idea for I'm
- 7:45Speaker 3: doing that.
- 7:45Speaker 2: We're doing that, No, for real, because the HBCUs I
- 7:50Speaker 2: went to.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I didn't go to Ski up the Delaware state, but
- 7:52Speaker 1: HBCUs are like a real like when they behind you,
- 7:55Speaker 1: they behind you, so.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I ain't gonna When I was down there, it really
- 7:59Speaker 3: felt like family. Like I ain't never go to college,
- 8:02Speaker 3: but I used to fake like I went to college.
- 8:03Speaker 3: When I moved to Atlanta, I think like I went
- 8:05Speaker 3: to Morris Brown. People to this day still think I
- 8:08Speaker 3: went there, but I was lying. But but when I
- 8:11Speaker 3: went on stepped on Tuskeg, it felt like I was
- 8:13Speaker 3: on heal, mean, like on a different world. Like it
- 8:14Speaker 3: just felt like and the people felt I don't know
- 8:17Speaker 3: if because I'm me, you know, they always gonna show
- 8:19Speaker 3: he the love. But even from the outside looking there,
- 8:21Speaker 3: it just felt like it was it was a very
- 8:24Speaker 3: family oriented college. And that's what I like about it,
- 8:27Speaker 3: and my daughter liked it so far.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Not too no, It's just it's like, I mean, all
- 8:31Speaker 1: HBC's HBCUs are historical, but Tuskegee has such a.
- 8:34Speaker 2: History to it as well too.
- 8:36Speaker 1: It's like it's a very prestigious to be able to
- 8:38Speaker 1: say that you are a Tuskegee you know student.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Now, if I can just get a discount.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Shit, I don't know about no discount, but I.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Did a discount on my daughter to college too.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Isshit, it don't work like that.
- 8:51Speaker 5: I needed to work like that. Shit.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Let's talk about Okay, we're gonna go in the discount.
- 8:57Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about some money. Let's talk about the
- 8:59Speaker 1: businesusiness behind this. Eric, you probably can get into this
- 9:02Speaker 1: a bit, Duval. I mean it's independence. So I'm sure
- 9:04Speaker 1: you know too. A lot more common nowadays that people
- 9:09Speaker 1: that have a platform like a Duval, who can get
- 9:12Speaker 1: straight to the consumer and have been doing it for years,
- 9:14Speaker 1: are like, I want to go right to I want
- 9:17Speaker 1: to put this out myself. You see Country Wayne doing
- 9:19Speaker 1: it and it has had a lot of success there
- 9:22Speaker 1: as well. To talk about the business behind staying independent
- 9:25Speaker 1: when you have built a platform our family like we
- 9:27Speaker 1: do vaus talking about everywhere you go, I.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Think that's what's important, right. And we shot this movie
- 9:32Speaker 4: last year, so we shot it really pre the success
- 9:35Speaker 4: of all of the box office films that came from creators,
- 9:38Speaker 4: whether it was Iron Lug, Obsession, Back Rooms that was
- 9:42Speaker 4: really a studio movie. We already had our can and
- 9:46Speaker 4: I think this is just going to be a testament
- 9:47Speaker 4: to show what someone like Duval can do and take
- 9:52Speaker 4: directly to their audience. And we don't have to be
- 9:54Speaker 4: inside a system that's giving us rules and telling us
- 9:57Speaker 4: what we can do and what we can't do. We
- 9:58Speaker 4: don't have to wait on script. We don't have to
- 10:00Speaker 4: wait on that editorial notes. It's literally we're making it together.
- 10:04Speaker 4: He looks sad and signs off, and then we move
- 10:05Speaker 4: on to the next thing.
- 10:06Speaker 5: I mean.
- 10:07Speaker 4: And he's an amazing partner because he lets me do
- 10:09Speaker 4: my part and he does his part. He shows up
- 10:12Speaker 4: just you know, with these interviews. This is what it
- 10:14Speaker 4: takes now to carry the movie across the line right
- 10:16Speaker 4: making it as well taking it to the audience. Like
- 10:18Speaker 4: the HBCU idea is a phenomenal idea. We should absolutely
- 10:21Speaker 4: do an HBCU tour with the movie as well. And
- 10:25Speaker 4: the other thing that we did about in the movie
- 10:26Speaker 4: is we created a whole ecosystem so we have merchandise.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Duvall and I own the rights to our killers uh name,
- 10:34Speaker 4: image and likeness, so we can we can then franchise
- 10:37Speaker 4: we want. So all the sound design and the sound
- 10:40Speaker 4: effects in the movie are gonna come out for sale
- 10:42Speaker 4: under Duval. So everything in the movie is an ecosystem
- 10:45Speaker 4: to monetize and all video game. We got a that's right,
- 10:49Speaker 4: we got a video game that's an app store camp
- 10:52Speaker 4: du valls on. It's live on Android right now, it's
- 10:54Speaker 4: getting ready to come through on iOS. We look, look,
- 10:58Speaker 4: we have pillows. We have pillows that we made, so
- 11:00Speaker 4: right we should we need to send her one so
- 11:03Speaker 4: we can put one.
- 11:05Speaker 5: We got.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Yeah, we can put some in this studio, and we
- 11:07Speaker 1: get to put some at the breakfast club studio too.
- 11:09Speaker 4: I need to make sure I'll get your address from
- 11:11Speaker 4: the publicist so that way we can send them to you.
- 11:13Speaker 4: So yeah, we're just trying to create a full ecosystem
- 11:15Speaker 4: where it doesn't take what it takes. You know that
- 11:19Speaker 4: when the big machine gets a hold of it, it
- 11:21Speaker 4: takes a lot to be able to make a little
- 11:23Speaker 4: And you've really about the talent in this movie. There
- 11:26Speaker 4: there are many rap speeches that I could post where
- 11:29Speaker 4: everybody at the end of it thanks to Ball for
- 11:30Speaker 4: giving them an opportunity, giving them a platform, always supporting
- 11:34Speaker 4: them as they grew into their careers, and so this
- 11:38Speaker 4: is his way to get back. Everybody has back end
- 11:40Speaker 4: on the movie, and this is we hope to do
- 11:42Speaker 4: this at least, you know, twice a year. I mean,
- 11:44Speaker 4: there shouldn't be a reason why we can't make our
- 11:46Speaker 4: own films. He came up with a great idea yesterday,
- 11:48Speaker 4: for one, and that's really how you go. He should
- 11:51Speaker 4: come up with the idea, We make the movie, we
- 11:53Speaker 4: take it to the people, and we live and die
- 11:54Speaker 4: a by whether the people like it or not and
- 11:56Speaker 4: not whether an executive likes it and allows us to
- 11:59Speaker 4: go to the next day.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Who's casting and uh, you know, building the writer's room
- 12:05Speaker 1: and do all you doing that as well too? Like
- 12:07Speaker 1: are you fully hands on them with that or is
- 12:08Speaker 1: it kind.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Of like yeah, I cast and cast the people like
- 12:13Speaker 3: people first, I have to cast my my try first.
- 12:16Speaker 3: So if they in my tribe, they automatically cast it.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Then I go with people new talents that I see
- 12:21Speaker 3: out here, because I mean, it ain't that many avenues
- 12:24Speaker 3: for us nowadays, so I feel like we have to
- 12:26Speaker 3: do it. So if I see some new talent that
- 12:28Speaker 3: I think that need a platform to take them to
- 12:31Speaker 3: the next level, I try to show him love. So
- 12:33Speaker 3: that's what I do with with with my position as
- 12:36Speaker 3: far as casting.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Yeah, in the story the story laurd like he and
- 12:40Speaker 4: I did this story. Russ Park ultimately wrote it for us,
- 12:44Speaker 4: but Doll and I created this story at like three
- 12:46Speaker 4: point thirty and four. He's a very early riser as
- 12:49Speaker 4: in mine, and this story was created, you know, with
- 12:51Speaker 4: four AM texts that became the script that russ Park wrote.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Wow, okay, And I'm wondering do all you talked about
- 12:59Speaker 1: new talent and you know you talked about how do
- 13:02Speaker 1: all like supports He does really get in very early
- 13:05Speaker 1: supporting people, calling things out as he see it. And
- 13:08Speaker 1: I think it provides platform for people. Who's somebody right
- 13:11Speaker 1: now Douvall that I mean, whether it was someone you
- 13:13Speaker 1: put in this movie or somebody you plan to work
- 13:15Speaker 1: with that you feel like the Internet isn't doing enough
- 13:18Speaker 1: for but you can't wait to provide, Like a movie
- 13:21Speaker 1: outside of the Internet is a real big opportunity.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Person.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I wish you would have told me this focus. I
- 13:27Speaker 3: had a lot of them I can't think of right
- 13:29Speaker 3: off the top of my head.
- 13:30Speaker 1: But I feel like even when you do your Waterfall series,
- 13:33Speaker 1: like the music series, I find I mean, I.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Don't know if it's you understand this, Like, that's why
- 13:38Speaker 3: you give me a reassurance that people get it. You
- 13:41Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You understand what I'm doing, what
- 13:43Speaker 3: the platform is for. So it's definitely to showcase new
- 13:47Speaker 3: talent that because like we said, we had like a
- 13:49Speaker 3: Living Color and all that type of stuff that gave
- 13:51Speaker 3: people a platform take another level.
- 13:54Speaker 5: And we can still do that.
- 13:55Speaker 3: But I think we forget because the older we get,
- 13:58Speaker 3: we most of people still hustling, but we forget there's
- 14:01Speaker 3: still a new talent under us that need a platform.
- 14:04Speaker 5: They look up to us, and we forget that. So
- 14:06Speaker 5: I feel like that's.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Why I come in to let him know, Like, Nah,
- 14:09Speaker 3: this motherfucker he is the truth.
- 14:11Speaker 5: Like money Bag.

- 16:50Speaker 5: Lot of people like that online that I see.
- 16:52Speaker 3: They just don't have like certain platforms for them to
- 16:55Speaker 3: showcase it. And everybody that's don't do stand up and
- 16:58Speaker 3: everybody don't do those little They're not finna do the
- 17:00Speaker 3: stupid shit to get go viral. So places like us
- 17:04Speaker 3: is where we have a home to where they can
- 17:06Speaker 3: showcase their stuff and take it to the next level
- 17:08Speaker 3: without selling their soul.
- 17:10Speaker 5: You feel what I'm saying, Yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 2: I got you.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Do you feel like do all you get the And
- 17:16Speaker 1: I don't know if you even care, but do you
- 17:17Speaker 1: feel like people have enough conversation about just you on
- 17:20Speaker 1: the business side of things and kind of like how
- 17:21Speaker 1: you position yourself almost like as an executive it's like
- 17:24Speaker 1: your A and ring digital comedy film.
- 17:28Speaker 5: I've kind of.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Programmed myself to not care, because when you care, then
- 17:31Speaker 3: you like they say, live by the chair, die by
- 17:33Speaker 3: the booze.
- 17:34Speaker 5: So I really don't care. I just and I mean
- 17:35Speaker 5: I see it.
- 17:36Speaker 3: It comes back like God give me reassurance with other
- 17:39Speaker 3: things and stuff like that to where I don't have
- 17:41Speaker 3: to care enough about what who.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Don't give me my praise, you know what I'm saying.
- 17:45Speaker 3: So that's how I kind of look at stuff, and
- 17:47Speaker 3: I mean, shit, they I can see it in people,
- 17:50Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. It's just like if you
- 17:52Speaker 3: have kids, or you might people might say you ad
- 17:54Speaker 3: just like your mama.
- 17:55Speaker 5: So I see the same thing.
- 17:56Speaker 3: And other people that come under me, they act just
- 17:58Speaker 3: like me, or they might don't give me my paris,
- 18:00Speaker 3: or they might not say it, or they might like
- 18:02Speaker 3: for example, they might say, they might say Kevin Hart
- 18:05Speaker 3: to go, but if you look at their program and
- 18:07Speaker 3: all you look at their path, they all followed my blueprints.
- 18:10Speaker 3: So it's just showing me like who you really look
- 18:13Speaker 3: up to. So that's what that's what I pay attention.
- 18:15Speaker 3: I don't really care about about the recognition because the
- 18:19Speaker 3: stuff I was doing they wasn't doing when they was
- 18:21Speaker 3: giving recognition for the stuff I'm doing.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Now, we were having a conversation with when I said
- 18:26Speaker 1: we had the Breakfast Club, we had a conversation with.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Carlos Miller and comedian Little Real.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, but in that
- 18:33Speaker 1: conversation when they came to talk about a film that
- 18:35Speaker 1: they were doing, also independently. They were talking about how
- 18:39Speaker 1: they feel like the level of like the Kevin Hart
- 18:42Speaker 1: and a lot of the people who are you know,
- 18:45Speaker 1: are a certain generation of comedy overlooked, a certain generation
- 18:48Speaker 1: of comedy so overlooked, the generation of like the just
- 18:51Speaker 1: Hilarius is the Carlos Miller's.
- 18:53Speaker 3: The think they're looking at the wrong crowds because they
- 18:57Speaker 3: looking at their I peers and the people old and
- 19:00Speaker 3: and us. That's why I think they're trying to get
- 19:01Speaker 3: their validation. But the people under us, they look at
- 19:05Speaker 3: us like we goats, you know what I'm saying. Like
- 19:06Speaker 3: to me, I mean, like I said, I go and
- 19:09Speaker 3: I'm really outside around amongst the people.
- 19:11Speaker 5: So I get enough praise and.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Dick pulling the way, I don't really care about the
- 19:17Speaker 3: other stuff. You know what I'm saying, Like the only
- 19:19Speaker 3: people that might not get me praise is the people.
- 19:21Speaker 5: In the industry, you know what I'm saying.
- 19:23Speaker 3: So but they all programmed to say who they think
- 19:26Speaker 3: is ghats, you know what I'm saying, Like, of course
- 19:27Speaker 3: they gonna say that, But like I say, but if
- 19:29Speaker 3: you look at they what they doing, it's all from that,
- 19:33Speaker 3: Like they ain't ain't no millionaires up that came under
- 19:36Speaker 3: me made their money off of doing what Kevin Hart did,
- 19:40Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying, So they kind of tell
- 19:44Speaker 3: it like it's they can say that, but they don't
- 19:46Speaker 3: look at people. And only reason I'm he using Kevin
- 19:47Speaker 3: Hart because he's like the top or they you know
- 19:51Speaker 3: what I'm saying, But the way he did, the way
- 19:54Speaker 3: he did and the way it's going on now, it's
- 19:57Speaker 3: pretty much they making the money this new generational way,
- 20:01Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, So they should be proud
- 20:02Speaker 3: of where they at now more so then keep looking
- 20:04Speaker 3: at those people and wanting that parade.
- 20:07Speaker 5: And that's how I look at everything with what.
- 20:09Speaker 4: I do lor And I think I think he really
- 20:11Speaker 4: does live his social life right. He is comparison is
- 20:14Speaker 4: the thief of joy. And I don't think even looks
- 20:18Speaker 4: at what others uh in that way because even with
- 20:22Speaker 4: this movie right it was, there's not been a comparison
- 20:24Speaker 4: of hey, we gotta do it like this, so we
- 20:26Speaker 4: gotta do it like that. He's just we're just driving
- 20:28Speaker 4: the boat. Like it makes sense to do what we're
- 20:31Speaker 4: gonna do with the Sixth City, like go and see
- 20:33Speaker 4: people and have them be a part. We're gonna have
- 20:35Speaker 4: the killer in the crowd and like being experienced and
- 20:39Speaker 4: not just go watch a movie right.
- 20:41Speaker 2: And pop out the crowd with a bunch of people.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Just you wasn't supposed to tell her that. Man, you
- 20:45Speaker 3: just gave the element of surprise, y'all.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Y'all talking about going to these y'all going to these
- 20:50Speaker 1: local theaters and go have a killer, pop out the crowd.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Over all that that sounds real fun and safe as
- 20:57Speaker 1: either way it goes come out.
- 20:59Speaker 2: So we know we could.
- 21:00Speaker 5: You're good. You're good, I promise you good.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Just the best way, I guess, I think the best
- 21:05Speaker 3: way explain me. I'm like the Dolo might of this generation.
- 21:08Speaker 3: How Dolomite he was doing everything is he was all independent.
- 21:12Speaker 3: He did it is always a good way. And then
- 21:14Speaker 3: over time our generation got it. But at that time
- 21:16Speaker 3: they just looked at it like they was just either
- 21:18Speaker 3: boxed him in this ghetto or just raggedy, or they
- 21:22Speaker 3: looked at it like it was some bullshit. But now
- 21:24Speaker 3: if you look at it, everything is damn the Dolomite.
- 21:26Speaker 5: She toobes Dolamite
