  Speaker 8: Did you ever did you envision that? Because it seemed
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: like back in the nineties, and I could be wrong.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: It seemed like y'all had just like such a brotherhood
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: amongst each other, you know what I mean. And to
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: see that brotherhood y'all had. But now y'all kids getting married,

  Speaker 8: did you see that?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Never? I never couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe it when.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: They first told you that they was connected. What you
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: did you call it and be like, hey man, you
• 10:26

• 10:30
  Speaker 4: No, I just uh.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: When I talked to him, I said, can you believe it?
• 10:34

• 10:36
  Speaker 4: You know, long as they respect each other and love
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: each other. You know, hey, world two nah?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Nah nah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I picture you and Will at the door and they
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: coming up and you having that conversation.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You never had to have that conversation.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: No, with my daughters, I'm open.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I'm you know, I'm kind of father that gives them,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: gives them room. You know, if they if the boyfriends
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: they're bringing me to meet are disrespectful, then they're going
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: to see another side of me. But if they're nice
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: young man or whatever.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't do all.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: By the time you meet, my dad needs to be right,
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: yeahund and my.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Reputation proceeds itself.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: You mustn't people.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Thought in the comedy world, how important was it?
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: I mean, how hard was it to sell hip hop
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: the Hollywood in the nineties, Because when I think of
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: like Martin, y'all had Biggie on and Met Mann movies
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: like House Party was was was Hollywood.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Embracing of hip hop back then? Or did y'all have
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: to tell them.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: We were coming up? We were coming up, but because
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: we were doing so good, you.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Know, they had to accept us.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: They had to embrace us, you know, because hip hop
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: was hitting hard.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: You know, you had all this talent.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: And so they had to say, I open the door
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: and say we gotta let hip hop in because it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: impact in the world, you know, and you see what
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: hip hop is doing now.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: You know what what do you think happened to television?
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: And what I mean by that is, you know, they
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: always talk about the negative images of black people that
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: exist now on TV and in film, But it's like
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: when we came up in the nineties, we didn't have that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: We had the Martins and the Cosby shows in the
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: Different Worlds and the living singles like what do you
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: think made Hollywood say? We're gonna stop doing that and
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: start doing reality TV.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Maybe because reality when when they first put it on,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: it hit, you know, people started gravitating to it or whatever.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: And maybe it's it's ways they get tax breaks.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: But y'all was hitting too, and it was great the
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: tation like you had a job, he was a radio person.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It was probably cheaper too, though you ain't.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm saying tax breaks and all that stuff,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you know, but.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: It don't stand the tother time. It ain't a sy indication.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Years later, thirty years later, yeah, you know, I also
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: wonder two. But growing up, you know, watching you play,
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: watching you in Big Mama's house, I never thought anything
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: of it. I just thought it was funny. But nowadays
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: you hear people say, oh, you know, that's you got
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: to sell your soul in Hollywood, and that's humiliation rituals
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: and nil zumanai.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: What are you think of that?
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: It's bullshit.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: It's it's all bullshit doing doing what I'm doing doing
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Big Mama and characters like that and whatever. These are
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: strong black women, you know, and I'm a comedian, you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: and I'm not above playing the character, putting on the
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: dress or whatever, because I'm in tune with my manhood,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: you know, so I know who I am. So I
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: don't worry about all that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Had a missed art because we've seen it with you,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: We've seen it with Eddie. But now it seems like everybody,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like he said, is afraid to do that.
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: But except for talent.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Except for talent.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's if you're in tune with your manhood, you
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be worrying about it, you know, if you ain't
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: letting nobody get other than your dress.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: Whatever a point.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Whatever, a point where you felt like the industry boxed
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: you in and they just wanted you to be the
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: funny guy and didn't give you, like I guess, room
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: to grow.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Was an actor, yeah, because I haven't been offered a
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: lot of dramatic roles.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: You know. The closest I I.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Had to I got a dramatic role was I had
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: to do it myself was the line between eleven eight.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: So that was the closest.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: And then I wind up recently, about two years ago,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: I did a movie called Mind Gauge that was total drama,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: no comedy and everything else.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: So I did about two.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Do you even want to do that?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Are you like, yeah, I wanted to try it. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: wanted to try to see if I could pull it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: When you saw it happening to you, though, were you
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: talking to your team like, yo, why is this happening?
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: Why are we not pushing back? Or were you just
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: like I gotta do what I gotta do to eat
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: to keep my family fat always.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm not sell your soul, but what do
• 15:34

  Speaker 4: No, we haven't figured it out yet.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but if they come get me from Mexico to

  Speaker 1: like the first one?
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, how.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Do you choose what to do a sequel to? Because
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Blue Streak was good?
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: But to me, I'm like, y'all rather see Life Part two,
• 16:09

• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I like to see how y'all want, they want.

• 16:17
  Speaker 5: uh me and Aaddy were we were what ninety bout time?

• 16:27
  Speaker 3: What did Ray and Claude do? What was their life

  Speaker 5: I have a strong faith in uh in God and
• 17:24

• 17:27
  Speaker 7: things like just hearing that, it's like, wow, what about
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: a Martin reunion? Like I know you guys did the reunion,
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: but like people wanted to see like actual episodes like
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: maybe You're Not Sex and the City. They got back
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: there the dated episodes and then they had a movie
• 17:41

  Speaker 7: we're going to ever see from the Martin from the
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: Martin Cash?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, no, No.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Tommy Ford was a big part of of what we
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: did and him not being there that's not the same
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: got you and we we can't. We called uh lightning
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: in a bottle, you know, and that that won't happen again.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Who came up with the idea of being a radio
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: host like that?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: That was dope?
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Like but I just I did?
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: And why yeah, just try something different, you know, you
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: know Detroit, you know, being able to say say what
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I want on the radio and being you know outlandish
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: uh radio announcer and everything, having celebrities come through and everything.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: It's just fun fun of radio.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Did you type cast yourself with Martin? Meaning like being
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: at the character name with Martin, and they saw how
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: you acted on the show, they expect you to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: like that in everyday life. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: every time I've been around you, it seem like you
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: very reserved, laid back.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm nothing like the Martin on exactly. You know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: people do ask me that you like Tomorrow on TV.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Sometime I tell them, hell yeah, I'll throw your ass out.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: But I think that's a lot like a lot of
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: times people see you when they think something's wrong. But
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: I'm like number one, he's older, Number two. How did
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: we ever know that was told us that was him?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nah, that was my energy.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: That was me just projecting, just just just being big,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: just you know, giving you a bigger version of Martin
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: and you know, just.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Just having fun, just having fun.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: But I'm not like that in real life. I'm I'm mature.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: You know, it's that's my job. You know, you don't
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: want to be on all the time. That gets annoying
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: somebody people don't take you serious.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Was it exhausting having to be on all the time?
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: Because you did a really good job at that job,
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Like I would have never known that that wasn't how
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: you were in real life.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it g's exhausting, but when you're having fun with it,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: you don't feel it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: And that the reason you had to whip ass because
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: people they.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: You said that the reason.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Because they thought they could play with people, thought they
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: could play with you, so you have to show them.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, you.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: Ever had somebody just laid out on the floor, They
