- 5:27say the least. Oh, we're gonna jump right into it. Me,
- 5:34Lady, Mandlord and a couple of us on the board here we have the
- 5:39pleasure of checking out your new book. It's a six person board over there.
- 5:42Oh yeah, your full ship. You run a full ship over here.
- 5:46And you mentioned something in one of your chapters about a little known movie
- 5:51called Stay Tuned. Yeah, yeah, a point like, Yo, we
- 5:58love Stay Tuned, And not many people know about that movie. I'm telling
- 6:01you it's a special one, especially with little Boy from Dexter in it.
- 6:05Like I don't even know if that that was like his only other role or
- 6:09something. It seemed like it's just a special movie. Man. Shout out
- 6:14to the Rider family. Shout out to all of them. Man, that
- 6:15was Oh yeah, yeah, we were we I actually had it playing before
- 6:21the show started. Here it is. It's even even by dated standards,
- 6:28it's still good. Oh yeah, it's still good. Don't magic especially this
- 6:33particular scene. The youngest not know about that. And now, all right,
- 6:42so lady Mandlord, you want to kick this off? Oh lord,
- 6:47I thought we had we had a whole routine down. I guess all right,
- 6:49okay, cool, cool, cool went off just a little bit.
- 6:54Oh all right. My first question is a little wordy, but so we
- 7:00all know you've survived being a child star and you've managed to maintain a level
- 7:05of focus for your life that is super rare, super rare, and I'd
- 7:14be hard pressed to find another name to put alongside you with that type of
- 7:17drive and focus. And you are in a rare position where you need to
- 7:25be protected at all costs in my eyes. Okay, with that said,
- 7:31do you have any thoughts about how you would or could protect new artists coming
- 7:41up or nurture talent within the black community. That is a heavy question.
- 7:46Feel free to take your time the other day, you know what I mean,
- 7:51Like, I think a lot of people empowered. You know that,
- 7:56you know, our very big names can do more, you know what I'm
- 8:00saying, Like I don't want to like throw anybody under the bus, but
- 8:03there's some big names that really kind of only produce for themselves, you know
- 8:05what I mean, Like if they produced a movie, they got to be
- 8:09in it, you know what I mean, and stuff like that or whatever.
- 8:13So you know, I think, you know, we can do more,
- 8:16which is like the main focus of my company, you know, like
- 8:20basically like leveling the ownership, you know field, basically going from like no
- 8:24ownership at all to a little something at least, you know what I'm saying,
- 8:28even if it has to come out of our end or whatever, but
- 8:31maintaining that kind of mentality to like, you know, have a hand in
- 8:35the ownership of it all, because it doesn't make any sense for you know,
- 8:41an actor to do a legendary role and then you know, forty years
- 8:46later the studio was still making money off of it in various ways. But
- 8:50you know, the performer that made it what it is isn't getting anything except
- 8:54that original paycheck. And if that original paycheck is in the eighties, it
- 8:58might have been like thirty dollars, you know what I'm saying. So you
- 9:01know, it's funny you mentioned that considering the fact that you had the writer
- 9:07strike and the actors strike and everything going on this year. You mentioned in
- 9:11your book several things. One of the things you mentioned is the Golden Age
- 9:15of television, which was your time on all that which it truly was.
- 9:18It was the nineties. You had a lot of black performers from Arsenior Hall,
- 9:24living, Single Martin, you name it, family matters. There's tons
- 9:30of tons of content out there that was led by people of color. Do
- 9:35you see that resurgence starting to come back around? I mean, I think
- 9:43there's a lot of you know, diversity out there, just because there's so
- 9:46many platforms, it's just hard to you know, kind of zero in on
- 9:50the good ones, you know what I'm saying, Like, if something is
- 9:52good, it might be season three before you know, everybody catches on to
- 9:56it. So it's hard to catch things from the beginning, especially when a
- 10:01lot of things don't even get a three C run, you know what I
- 10:03mean. So I think there is a lot more you know, opportunity,
- 10:07just because you know, there's just naturally more you know platforms and businesses and
- 10:13companies out there that can get you out there. But at the same time,
- 10:18you know, there's only so many Delroy Lindos, there's only so many
- 10:20Denzels, There's only so many like really trained actors, you know what I
- 10:24mean. Like I give it up to Damnson Indrist, you know what I
- 10:28mean, because he seems like he's a thoroughly trained individual, and he had
- 10:33a show run recently and you know, it ran all the way, it
- 10:35ran its course, you know, and that's rare. But you know,
- 10:39it takes combination of real writers, real producers, real directors, and real
- 10:46performers and a lot of the time, you either get like one or two,
- 10:50but not all of those things. And back in the day, you
- 10:54had to have all of those things for the network to approve things for it
- 10:58to move forward. So back of it might have been a little more simpler.
- 11:03Back in the day, even though it was one at a time kind
- 11:05of thing, it was definitely whole teams around projects, you know what I
- 11:09mean. Like Martin was started, you know, not just by Martin Lawrence
- 11:15by himself. You know, you had topical quote created, he had this
- 11:16person at that person he had to cast around him, you know, and
- 11:20they were all hitters, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't just people
- 11:24that was just like put me on, you know what I'm saying. It
- 11:26was like they were all thoroughly been in the game for a long time,
- 11:31ready for the moment, and you know that's when you have that magic in
- 11:33a bottle or whatever. So yeah, it's tough, man, because even
- 11:39though there are so many outlets, there's only so many professionals. So you
- 11:43got to you gotta find the balance. And yeah, those those cats that
- 11:46are empowered, you know what I mean, like do more, you know
- 11:48what I mean, Like I don't understand why somebody doesn't have Ryan Coogler's next
- 11:54three projects just ready to go right now, you know what I'm saying,
- 11:56and stuff like that, conversations that have been had on this platform. H
- 12:03Cinematic will be watching what you got? Yeah, you you touched on your
- 12:11uh? Was a production company's artists for artists? Correct? Yes, sir,
- 12:15right right. We are involved in a similar uh sort of minded uh
- 12:22situation called blurd Station is a focus on speculative fiction created by black creators.
- 12:31I wanted to know more about artists for artists and how how you are sourcing
- 12:39and finding talent and what exactly are you doing to help these creators create.
- 12:48As far as helping creators create, I don't really know if I'm helping them
- 12:52do that, you know what I'm saying, Like, I feel like we
- 12:54want to work with people that are already doing stuff, trying to help them
- 12:58level it up, you know, a step further basically as far as wrapping
- 13:05packages. You know what I'm saying, Like, there's a lot of creatives
- 13:07out there that have, you know, a social media platform, and then
- 13:11they think that that automatically transfers into film and television, and that's not necessarily
- 13:18the case, you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm still waiting to
- 13:20see you know, Drew Ski in the movie. I'm still waiting to see
- 13:24Country Wane in a movie that works. So I'm still waiting to see like
- 13:26all these very very famous social media people transfer into a vehicle. They work,
- 13:33but it's not going to work without real training, you know what I'm
- 13:35saying. You can't watch somebody that's green for two hours, you know what
- 13:39I mean. You can watch it for three to five to seven minutes or
- 13:43whatever and then give them their credit, you know what i mean, like
- 13:46just for giving it the old college try and stuff like that. But when
- 13:48you're really talking about story arcing and you know, replaying like real emotion,
- 13:54it's got to come from a real performer. So yeah, it's just tough
- 13:58to kind of bridge those gaps basically because there's a lot of you know,
- 14:03cats that went to Juilliard that came from a job right now, you know
- 14:05what I mean, just because scarce or it's bottle neckings since the strike or
- 14:09whatever it is. But for artists, for artist's sake, we help people
- 14:15package things, you know what I mean, and present like the whole package
- 14:20to you know, a network. So if the idea is dope enough,
- 14:24hopefully we can just find the funding for it, shoot the whole thing,
- 14:28and just deliver a finished product and use distributors just as distributors as opposed to
- 14:33people trying to give notes or have you jumping through hoops for development's sake or
- 14:37this, that and the other, because you know, things can get lost
- 14:39in development for ten years, you know what I'm saying, and then it'll
- 14:43come out and it's like, all right, well it came out and it
- 14:48did okay, but it took ten years out of our life. You know
- 14:50what I'm saying. Is that a balance kind of thing, and that's kind
- 14:52of like where we want to try to come into the mix on top of
- 14:56maintaining you know, a piece for the artists. I'm glad you mentioned artists
- 15:03for artists to artists because like Cinemac Assassin mentioned, we are part of blood
- 15:09Station, which is a streaming service dedicated to a speculative fiction, anime,
- 15:13manga, you name it, created by people of color and black people all
- 15:16alone, and they're doing just that, you know, whether it's in a
- 15:20comic form and transferring over to live action and just straight out live action.
- 15:26And we're the news team for that network. Here, I'll show you a
- 15:30piece of it now. Black Bird black Scott black black, black everything,
- 15:35black art bla blackout black everything. I guess shivers every time I see that.
- 16:14Myness, it's especially Dakota's work that that little girl is anyway, Yeah,
- 16:25so what they're what they're talking about here, there's a young lady by
- 16:27the name of Dakota Pat She's six years old, six year old special effects
- 16:32makeup artist, and she is they're currently doing a live action of their father's
- 16:37comic The Undead Horizon, which is a zombie book, and she's the makeup
- 16:42artist on this entire thing. It's I've never seen a six year old do
- 16:48the stuff that she does. It's so, I mean, it's it's definitely
- 16:53something when you look at it, you're saying, we need, Like you
- 16:56said, there's ways to do. It is getting stuck in development hell and
- 17:03never seen a light of day, sometimes being shelved ten years down the line.
- 17:07It's it's tiring. You're right, it's tiring. It gets old.
- 17:10You wonder what happens next, and you try to figure out the balance not
- 17:15to mention. Not only that the pay, the fair pay. That seems
- 17:22to be a constant talk about, especially with Towatch be Henson Hinton. So
- 17:30yeah, I mean, and it's only going to get more fluctuatable when you
- 17:34start talking about trying to maintain a percentage, you know what I'm saying.
- 17:37So once you start talking, you might have to start talking like, oh,
- 17:41I can be flexible on my upfront payment kind of thing if you really
- 17:45believe in the project kind of thing or whatever. But at the same time,
- 17:51that's almost like spinning your wheels a little bit in the mud, because
- 17:55now you're like, you know, stepping back from you know, the number
- 18:00is that you fought all the way up to that point to try to get
- 18:03to try to live it, you know what I mean, into something else
- 18:04that might be the long term kind of good look, you know what I
- 18:07mean, Like five percent of beetlejuice, you know what I mean, is
- 18:11a good look kind of thing. But you don't know, like you don't
- 18:14know if everything is going to be a beetle juice. You don't know if
- 18:15everything is gonna be a Malcolm X. You don't know if everything is going
- 18:18to be something that time so you gotta find a way to try to like
- 18:25offset that kind of thing, you know what I mean, and likes it's
- 18:29tough on females because I think females need deeper teams than males. Do you
- 18:33know what I mean? I can go to Harlem and get my haircut dollars,
- 18:36you know what I'm saying to Roger, I don't think she can do
- 18:40that, even if I need my haircut five times, and you know,
- 18:48like Darren Goudberg, I got my haircut like maybe four times, you know
- 18:52what I'm saying, And like, if I really go to the shop and
- 18:56really be like yo, like what's the real costs? Dollars? You know
- 19:00what I'm saying, I'm a hundred maybe one hundred and fifty dollars in the
- 19:04hole for my hair for the entire shoot of a film. Like a lot
- 19:10of ladies can do that, you know what I'm saying, unless they come
- 19:11in with a locked look, you know, and they're trying to get the
- 19:15same haircut as you. Yeah, do a ponytail that kind of thing or
- 19:21whatever. A lot of different scenes you want to see a lady like switch
- 19:26your hair up and stuff like that, depending on the mood or depending on
- 19:29what the scene is and all that and make up and you know, wardrobe
- 19:33caught, like you know, the clothing costs on a few you know what
- 19:36I mean, So all those things you have to take in consideration when you're
- 19:38talking about taking less upfront. But at the same time, that argument is
- 19:45worth it, you know what I mean, because at some point, man,
- 19:48we got to really start thinking about owning shit and not just being workers
- 19:52for hire bro, you know what I mean. Like, that's why she's
- 19:56that, you know aching right now because that work for hire shitnumber one is
- 20:00scarce and number two is not enough because you're paying the team, you're paying
- 20:06the lawyers, you're paying your agent. Man, Like she went down the
- 20:08whole list and you're paying I R S. You know what I'm saying.
- 20:11So who's paying to Rojjie? Is what I want to know? Kind of
- 20:15thing before we go, before we go further with this conversation, because I
- 20:22like where it's at. We're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna come
- 20:25right back with our guests, Keeenan Thompson. We're gonna talk about his book.
- 20:26Got a couple more questions for you. We'll be right now mm hmm,
- 21:10let's just in feeling groggy in the morning. Coffee just can't give you
- 21:14that peppin and step that you're looking for. Try pop Stars for that great
- 21:17get up and go that adults need. Pop Stars has the vitamin and nutrients
- 21:21that only grown nuts can partake in, and with flavors such as toss salad
- 21:26and scrambled eggs and Jack Daniels and butt light flavors to start your day or
- 21:32end it. There's nothing better to wake up to, unless you count that
- 21:34depressident and cubical job. Well anyway, try pop Stars today. Pop Stars
- 21:40is not part of the Catalog's corporation. Pop starts to give you diarrhea.
- 21:42Pop Stars are not founding in your local grocery store. And we are back.
- 22:06Let's get our guests back over here. I love that commercials and we're
- 22:14TV show man trying to be like you, and we a cinematic This is
- 22:23what we do. This is what we do, and we like to keep
- 22:26the people entertained, encouraged, educated, and you know, just have fun.
- 22:30I modeled this show off of our Senior Haul and Tonight's show with Jamie
- 22:33Fallon and Saturday Night Live. I love it and so uh cinematic. You
- 22:38got one more, you got another question. You said, yeah, well
- 22:41goe Keenan, You're a legend. If enough people don't tell you enough,
- 22:47let me be the next and hopefully not the last. My question was did
- 22:57earlier it was you you were talking about, you know, we gotta get
- 23:00our shit together. A lot of people probably took like a gasp like,
- 23:04oh, Keenan said shit, oh no, stop laughing, y'all is very
- 23:15very family friendly brand. Do you have you ever felt like that stifled any
- 23:22level of your the creativity or anything that you wanted to come out with because
- 23:26people maybe only see you as baby face Keenan not really like I don't really
- 23:33have a problem going with what works for the audience, you know what I
- 23:37mean? Because I did. I don't know if y'all ever saw the movie
- 23:41that Leeve Shriver did where he played the guy that Rocky was based off of.
- 23:48It was like a boxing movie or whatever. Yeah, yeah, I
- 23:53did a scene where I was don King, like young don King, you
- 23:57know, at a conference or whatever. And as soon as I popped on
- 24:02like when they were testing the movie, as soon as I popped on screen,
- 24:04like people started laughing before I even said anything, and then that like
- 24:10got me cut out the movie basically because it's not a comedy, you know
- 24:14what I mean straight, and like it really took people out of the reality
- 24:19just seeing my face. So like I'm aware of the It ain't even I
- 24:25don't even want to call it a burden, you know what I mean of
- 24:26like doing a lot of clean comedy up into this work or clean material up
- 24:30to this point because I kind of cherished, you know, when old ladies
- 24:36come up to me and they spot me and they like they know me,
- 24:38you know what I'm saying, and they're like, hey, young man,
- 24:41like I know you, you do great stuff or whatever, and everybody else,
- 24:45you know underneath that. So it's just a wider audience, you know,
- 24:52and it's a much more tedious audience, but it's a it's a bigger
- 24:55audience, you know. It's it's kind of like, you know, I
- 24:57do work for kind of anybody, and that, you know, definitely feels
- 25:03good. It definitely feels like, you know, I have more options at
- 25:07the end of the day. So like if I wanted to like do my
- 25:11version of Minister Society or one of the movies that I grew up loving you
- 25:15know what I mean, just as a black man growing up in Atlanta kind
- 25:18of thing, like we love gangster movies or whatever. That doesn't necessarily have
- 25:22anything to do with the brand that I established, and I don't want to
- 25:26necessarily like diminish that just because I might want to, you know, do
- 25:30a shoot them up or something like that. I don't know, you know
- 25:33what I mean, Like I ain't really tripping like that because I'm matured enough
- 25:37to understand, you know, like the monetary value of the wide audience.
- 25:41I guess. Kevin Murphy, who is the owner of KTS Entertainment and co
- 25:48owner of Blood Station, he says, what genres are you looking to branch
- 25:51out into? Honestly, it doesn't even really matter. Like I don't personally
- 25:56have to branch out anymore as an actor, Like I'm fine standing in the
- 26:00lane that's been kind of carved and like people enjoy. But at the same
- 26:06time, I'm trained, so I could do whatever. You know, I
- 26:08can do horror, I can do drama. Like you know, in high
- 26:11school, you know, our theater group, we used to write our own
- 26:15plays, but the plays would be about like, you know, South Africa,
- 26:19and apartheid and like you know, teen age or like teen drug addiction
- 26:23and stuff like that, so like verious, very serious topics. So like
- 26:27I know I can go there, it's just what is the audience willing to
- 26:30receive? And then like do I need to take baby steps before I do?
- 26:37You know whatever? The Robin Williams Photoshop movie where he was a serial
- 26:41killer, and like we all you know what I'm saying, Like we watched
- 26:44that movie. It's like I want looking at misdoubtfire. I'm watching this movie
- 26:48as kind of thing. One hour photo. Yeah, thank you very much.
- 26:53He cosplay. He said, what's the process of getting feedback from from
- 26:57the focused groups? He says, most folks don't know why they get cut
- 27:00from another. Uh. The process is amongst the producers basically, like there
- 27:07is it's damned there like a two way mirror, like they're on the other
- 27:11side like looking in on these people. And then the people get asked,
- 27:14you know, a couple few questions at the end of the movie or whatever,
- 27:18and they're watching and listening, and you know, they gauge it from
- 27:21there basically. But yeah, it's not really like put a letter in the
- 27:27mail kind of thing. It's like they're right on top of them. They
- 27:30just don't know they're being watched. Kind of situation that's not creepy at all,
- 27:37far from it from it, Uh, games Master. First of all,
- 27:45I will piggyback off of what Will said. You are truly a legend,
- 27:48my friend. You have influenced generations, including yours. Truly thank you,
- 27:55especially military people like myself and retired, so thank you for what you
- 27:59did. You kept up entertained being deployed, so I appreciate you, tum,
- 28:03thank you for your service. Man. Don't tell anybody that. Okay,
- 28:10I think the goggles is giving it away. Say nothing, there's food
- 28:15at the end. I have watched you since you came out. All that
- 28:22is legendary Nickelodeon, they had a gym, and then we see you how
- 28:26you are now this practiced, experienced performer, actor, all of that.
- 28:36And I've always wanted I've always wanted to ask this question. If you now
- 28:40could hop into a tartist and go back to you in ninety six, when
- 28:44you're on all that, what would you tell yourself that would help the process
- 28:48from then till now? M I mean, it's tough because whatever I would
- 29:00say to my younger self. I doubt my younger self would even be listening.
- 29:03You know what I'm saying. When you're young, you think you know
- 29:07everything already. You know what I'm saying. So it might have gone in
- 29:10one end out the other, or I might have been like, not impressed
- 29:12by my future self. I'm like, that's what I'm looking like in the
- 29:15future. Wait minute, quick, Chris. I saw when I saw you
- 29:23that day in the street, you were glowing. I'm letting you know,
- 29:27I'm a smalls and I just want to ask what your what your secret is
- 29:32aside from being black, because we all got the same secret horizon. You
- 29:37know, moisturizing shaven has worked really well for me. So yeah, we
- 29:44said how that works out, like stayed of course. You know what I'm
- 29:48saying, Like I think I talk about it in the book, Like don't
- 29:52be naive, Like don't think you're the funniest person in the world when you
- 29:56tell a joke and then everybody in the room doesn't laugh, but you still
- 30:00thank you. Funny kind of thing, you know, like be realistic with
- 30:03the reactions of what you do in front of people kind of thing and take
- 30:07it from there, you know, what I mean, surround yourself with whoever's
- 30:11better at that thing that you want to do, and you will naturally grow
- 30:15into that. You will see what they do, and then you'll see what
- 30:18you're able to do, and then the two shall meet somewhere in the middle
- 30:21kind of thing, or you may surpass that person. You never know.
- 30:25It all depends on, you know, how deep you really want to go
- 30:27with it. Do you have a few more minutes for a couple of questions?
- 30:32Yeah? Please? Okay? I this one because this for me was
- 30:41a standout episode for on Saturday Night Life. What does this mean when you
- 30:45see this legendary status right there? Sir? You know what I mean?
- 30:52It's number one? Is surreal, Like all four of them brothers are like
- 30:57hyperheroes in mind, you know, starting with my brother Tracy, and then
- 31:03the goat next to another goat next to another goat. You know, Tracy
- 31:10in his own right, but you know he's closer to my brother than you
- 31:14know the rest of them. So that's why I call him my brother man
- 31:17because he was like the first person to you know, take me under his
- 31:19wing or whatever. But also reminds me of what I owe to writers,
- 31:26you know, what I'm saying, Like Michael J wrote me in that moment.
- 31:27He could have rolled himself into that moment because he's a legend in his
- 31:32own right too. That man has been doing really beliftic things on that show
- 31:34as a black man, as a black writer. But he put me in
- 31:37that moment, you know what I mean, He thought a cast members should
- 31:41be there, and like, you know, that is so very gracious of
- 31:44him, because I would have been fine just watching the monologue, you know
- 31:47what I mean, Like I've watched a million of them. I've watched a
- 31:48lot of my favorite people come Doe to show, and I didn't need to
- 31:52be in everything that they was doing. But the fact that I was in
- 31:55that moment and people get to pull that picture up for the rest of my
- 31:59life or you know, and beyond, man, it's I get chills,
- 32:02Like I could, I could start crying because the amount of joy that them
- 32:08brothers have helped a lot of us overcome pain with is just you know,
- 32:14insane, you know what I mean. I mean, like on top of
- 32:17learning what it looks like to be an educated individual, to be able to
- 32:22express yourself like Dave, you know what I mean, or be confident on
- 32:27stage like an Eddie, or just be insanely brilliantly poignant with your perspective like
- 32:32Chris. You know what I'm saying, Like it's it's just insane. And
- 32:37that's another reason why I don't go running away from that show, because if
- 32:42I went running away and seeking my own I might have missed that week,
- 32:45you know what I mean, I wouldn't have been in the show like you
- 32:47mean like and that was christ so like Merry Christmas to me. Shit,
- 32:54that was a great yourself so black spartan my turn. All right, Well
- 33:06I'm echo Will. I won't echo Will on this one. From from the
- 33:09might Ucks to Saturday Night Live to various credits, sir you Flowers and then
- 33:17some I'm to echo that semon just because of all all the stuff you've given
- 33:22us, uh B. I do love the fact that can we say that
- 33:27you're the new face of Nintendo considering the commercial runs they have done with you?
- 33:34Can we say that? Because Number one? I love that, I
- 33:37mean has been huh has it been playing a lot? That's what It's been
- 33:43making rotations. It's been making rotations. You know what I'm about? It
- 33:52The thing that excites me the most is that I did it with my babies,
- 33:54and like it's something successful for them, you know what I'm saying,
- 33:59Like I want them to see that, you know what it feels like to
- 34:02do something that echoes like that and give them that perspective outside of it being
- 34:07all about me, because like, yeah, they're going to see trolls or
- 34:09they'll go see something else, and you know, it's these are wins for
- 34:15me kind of thing. It's like, yeah, my dad's in that.
- 34:17But when they get to be like their friends are coming seeing like I saw
- 34:21you on that commercial, you know what I mean, And I saw you
- 34:23doing this and that and the other. It's a feeling and it feels good
- 34:29to get a w like that because man, I don't know, I've worked
- 34:34all the way up from Public's commercials to Sonic commercials from you know, a
- 34:37Fried Chicken commercial was my first joint, you know what I mean, And
- 34:42I can't really say that people were coming up to me being like I saw
- 34:45you changing that tire outside of publics. Now it's one of those things where
- 34:55like for me, I love seeing that that interaction that it's genuine that you
- 35:00can literally you kind of have those dad moments when you're sitting there planning,
- 35:04you're sitting there playing your daughter. Ask you, like you said, not
- 35:07like that's how we used to do it, this is before you, But
- 35:10but I got to ask though that being also you do you do mention that
- 35:14in your book as far as one to want to be that positive role model
- 35:19for your daughters and to show them to you know, to change or to
- 35:23give them a better out view of the world than what you came up in.
- 35:27And how is it how important is that for you as far as you
- 35:30know, not only just being a director and actor, but also being a
- 35:35father and being that role How is it how much more of important it is
- 35:37for you to actually portray yourself in that for that form of positive life.
- 35:43It's everything, you know what I mean? And it's it's hypercritical, you
- 35:45know, like it's hard. We all know it's hard on black children.
- 35:49You know, we know it's hard on black women. You know, we
- 35:52know we have to teach our young black men and we don't get them early
- 35:57is going to be dire for them, you know what I'm saying. So
- 35:59like I keep all of that in perspective, but when it comes to your
- 36:04personal children, I don't want to hear that NEPO argument. You know what
- 36:07I'm saying, Like, I'm putting them right in the business if that's what
- 36:09they want to do. You know what I'm saying, based on all the
- 36:13contexts I've worked for for thirty years, I'm giving it all of them,
- 36:15you know, so I understand, Like why other parents do the same thing
- 36:20for their child is just what you do as a parent. You know,
- 36:22you want to give your child every leg up you possibly can. So you
- 36:27know, if you can skip a few things along the way based off of
- 36:30your track record and you can help them, you know, you know,
- 36:34lead frog some stuff. I think it's a natural thing to want to do
- 36:37that. So yeah, you like you can quote me like I'm a NEPO.
- 36:42You know my kids, like it ain't nothing. If that's what they
- 36:47want to do, I'm all for it, and I'm gonna make every phone
- 36:50call i possibly can. Like, that's what you do that do their entire
- 36:53life. You do that to get them into school. You do that to
- 36:55get them on a good soccer team. You know, you just do that
- 36:59situation you can. That's what a parent does. You try to help your
- 37:01child. But at the same time. I understand that there are other people
- 37:06in the world that don't have that advantage, but neither did I you know
- 37:09what I'm saying. And I started out and I focused, and I did
- 37:12what I did and blah blah blah. You know what I'm saying. So
- 37:14everybody's story is different, everybody's track record is going to be different. And
- 37:19even though you might have a famous parent, that doesn't mean that you're going
- 37:22to do great work that people admire. You know what I'm saying. It's
- 37:24only those that really take it seriously, like you know, Denzel's son or
- 37:30you know or others gotcha Okay, grew of Horror Lady who. I'll start
- 37:38by saying something similar to my podcast mats in a difference twist. The humility,
- 37:44sir, is definitely what's up? Like just hearing you talk and just
- 37:50even hearing you in other interviews. I'm like, Yo, this is someone
- 37:52who is super duper famous, but it does not feel like that. You
- 37:57feel like just a normal person that happen. Yeah, I'm literally that that
- 38:19is our resident black man. Literally, No, I just I mean,
- 38:29I think my question is ozy is a real quick one. When we you
- 38:34know, see you on Saturday Night Live. I also, in my heart
- 38:38of parts envision you leading your own kind of sketch comedy. So if you
- 38:45had that opportunity, or I would say, make the opportunity for you,
- 38:49how would you go about that? And like who would you recruit to be
- 38:52on that? Yeah, I think I have, you know, like Bob
- 38:57Hope visions now at this point, because I don't know, I don't necessarily
- 39:00want to try to build you know, in in living color or a Friday
- 39:05Night Live or anything like that, you know, but being able to do
- 39:08something like live to whether it's a telethon kind of field around the holidays or
- 39:15whatever, or something that we can pay troops, you know what I mean,
- 39:17or kind of stuff that would be a lot of fun. You see
- 39:22a lot of opportunity in that with my brother Cal, you know, and
- 39:24us being back together like that would be like real comfortable, easy shoes to
- 39:30just get out there and be in front of whoever for an hour, you
- 39:32know what I mean. And I think that's like, you know, really
- 39:37powerful and really valuable, you know, like anytime you're able to like bring
- 39:40it to the people, I think that's where everybody, like you know,
- 39:44usually blows up and it's like all of a sudden, they just got bajillions
- 39:46of dollars because they keep selling out this theater or this stadium or whatever.
- 39:52You know what I mean. Like, once you get to like stadium levels,
- 39:54it's like, man, how much money are you making at that point?
- 39:58Like Byron ally told me, I was leaving like two hundred and fifty
- 40:00million a year on the table because I don't do Lijah like that. Man.
- 40:09Let me say, if Byron Allen is saying yeah, I'm sure he's
- 40:16not too far off, he would know. I mean, damn. So
- 40:24as I said earlier, we have been checking this book out. This book
- 40:29is it's eye opening, is humbling, uh and I have I have,
- 40:36I have, I can't say. So start you start from the times that
- 40:44you started out, started out, started out in acting, right, and
- 40:46you're at the point where I think it's chapter ten, and you start talking
- 40:50about when you hit bankruptcy and the fact that you have this humble spirit and
- 40:57you and it's just like, man, what he's talking about, you know
- 41:00what I mean, Like it's very relatable, right, and you're just like,
- 41:05I know what he's talking about. I know what he's going through at
- 41:07this point, and you know, and just doing everything for your kids and
- 41:12just you know, comforting your mother, you know, and and giving flowers
- 41:15to her because you know, she felt like she failed you because of the
- 41:19accountant. It was a whole thing, and it was like, you know,
- 41:22through it all, you still manage to say, m hm, back
- 41:29to the hustle, Back to the hustle. And I can commend that.
- 41:34I'm like, I'm like, I grew up watching you, dude, Like
- 41:39like we're about to say, man, so I grew up watching you,
- 41:43and I'm just like, yeah, I'm doing something right. So but now
- 41:54here you are on Saturday Night Live, longest running member apparent. I think
- 42:00you beat up to metals. They need to give you a jacket. They
- 42:07need to make a jacket for that now, opposed to the jackets that they
- 42:09get for the hosts. Mm hmmm. It's hard to say what do you
- 42:15see coming next? Because do you kind of live in a dream. Yeah,
- 42:22And I've been been living a dream, you know, for for a
- 42:24long time. Like I've been very blessed since I started, you know,
- 42:28like first movie being you know, a hockey legend still to this day,
- 42:35you know, fourth movie, Good Burger, you know what I mean,
- 42:38like fed Albert, you know, like on screen with Sam Jackson, you
- 42:45know, like like man, like I've been very very like you know,
- 42:52blessed career wise, me as a person, Like if it wasn't for that
- 42:55bankruptcy, Like I don't know if I would be so humble, you know
- 42:59what I mean a human being, and like I had a lot to be
- 43:02cocky about at that point, you know what I'm saying, Like it would
- 43:06have been easy for me to just be like no, like I you know,
- 43:09I have these badges, So like I'm going to show y'all, you
- 43:13know, in my personality that I have these badges of you know, you
- 43:16know, accomplishments or whatever, you know. But that SmackDown just kept my
- 43:22head down and this because just kept me working and it didn't really let me
- 43:25focus on you know, praise and stuff like that, you know what I
- 43:30mean, Like it wasn't about that. It was about doing consistent work.
- 43:34That's good because that's what leads to consistent work, you know what I'm saying.
- 43:37And that was kind of like the bottom line of my approach. And
- 43:40then next thing I know, I look up and I've been on SML twice
- 43:45as long than any other Black cast member. You know, damn there combined,
- 43:49you know what I'm saying. But like, yeah, Tim Metals,
- 43:51he did ten seasons, you know what I mean. I'm on twenty one,
- 43:53so like it's like it's crazy now on twenty two. You know,
- 44:01twenty two it is wold. Like I was trying to get to twenty.
- 44:05I remember like having that thought, like, man, can I get to
- 44:07twenty when I was on like twelve or thirteen kind of thing and like steam
- 44:14roll it and stuff like that and still feel welcome. Like I texted Louren,
- 44:19you know, after the show on Sunday or something, and like I
- 44:22was like, all right, it was the middle of that night or it's
- 44:23like eight or nine on a Sunday, and I text him like, man,
- 44:28now that everything's kind of calm, now, I just want to say
- 44:30thank you for everything or whatever. Man, you're the best. Blah blah
- 44:31blah, Happy Holidays. This dude hit me back at two thirty in the
- 44:35morning, and I'm like, yo, this demon homen Yeah, he hit
- 44:43me like with a whole lot of positivity, and I'm like, all right,
- 44:45So if I was irking people or if I was in the way he
- 44:50might have just you know, took my message and responded kind of thing.
- 44:52But the fact that he did respond in the middle of the night makes me
- 44:58feel welcome, and it makes me feel, you know, kind of wanted.
- 45:00So like, yeah, they keep calling me back every summer. Well
- 45:05I'm supposed to say no, Like, I don't know what you know what
- 45:07I mean, when you don't know where a journey is going, you wind
- 45:09up putting out an album with just flutes, you know, I mean that
- 45:25they the woodwinds, ladies and gentlemen. So like you just I don't know.
- 45:31You just keep waking up every day and going out with good intentions basically,
- 45:37and you know, the phone keeps ringing and the things that make sense
- 45:40end up working out. But yeah, man, like it pains me to
- 45:45see my sisters in pain, especially when when I met to Roger, she
- 45:50was on the hustle, you know what I'm saying. Like I met her
- 45:52she was running into an audition and she was just hopping out of like a
- 45:54Honda Accord or something like that. Back back back in the day, like
- 45:59way before baby Boy and this, that and the other. She might have
- 46:02been going to audition for baby boy or something like that. But I caught
- 46:06her like coming from the garage or whatever, and she was as bright as
- 46:09she is. She that's who she is. She's a big, you know,
- 46:14happy loving, you know what I mean, just jolly, you know,
- 46:17down round the way kind of girl. And for it to be almost
- 46:23thirty years later, you know what I mean. And you know she's talking
- 46:28about financial struggle, bro, Like, yeah, that's that's tough to watch,
- 46:31you know, because she's done a lot of great work. It's tough
- 46:35to watch, you know, fucking shit, what's his name from Hustling Float
- 46:47talk about like, you know, just then put given the publishing to his
- 46:53character name that they own and like little moves like that kind of shit.
- 46:59So late in the game, you know what I'm saying, And it's like,
- 47:01man, where are all these representatives that are supposed to be reading this
- 47:06shit for you, you know what I mean, and your contacts and your
- 47:08deals, you know what I mean, letting those things go down because they
- 47:13taking a percentage out of you. But you know, when it's so far
- 47:17gone, the only finger you can point is at the big House of Paramount
- 47:23and it's like, all right, well, I gotta fight a tank with
- 47:25my bad knuckles, you know what I mean, And like I'm gonna go
- 47:29it's gonna cost me more in lawyer fees than you know, whatever that publisher
- 47:34might be worth or whatever. So it's just a lot of things that you
- 47:37know, at the end of the day, you gotta watch your own back,
- 47:39man, Like still to this day, you gotta watch your own back.
- 47:45And yeah, you know, black legal teams is one thing. But
- 47:47just because the legal team is black doesn't mean like they're not going to miss
- 47:51certain shit. He probably has a black lawyer, you know what I mean,
- 47:53I have black lawyers, Like they still they miss shit, or they'll
- 47:58you know, have something in there that doesn't really match or whatever kind of
- 48:01thing. So like you just gotta be aware of what's going on. And
- 48:06like like everybody just needs damn there to learn how to read a contract.
- 48:09That's like exactly. Mm hmm. It's not that it's not that hard.
- 48:17It's hard. It's a lot of words, but it's not that hard.
- 48:22If it looks like it don't make sense, what does this mean? And
- 48:27there's things, there's things, you know what I mean. You know,
- 48:29you're doing a musical movie, all right, who's getting like who's making the
- 48:32songs? Number one? If I'm in charge of like making the songs,
- 48:36then I need my pumps. You know what I'm saying, My dad,
- 48:38I need you know, you have to know what you're supposed to be looking
- 48:42for. You don't have an expert on Latin, but definitely need to know
- 48:47those bullet points are in place because you're gonna wind up having you know,
- 48:52your work being citted as fucking DJ that that's crazy things I've gotten them,
- 49:00you know. I'm like, I'll send it to Demetris. I said,
- 49:01take a look at this because he knows and I'm probably guilty of it myself.
- 49:07Like, you know, Tiny Diamond got some songs. You know what
- 49:10I mean, I probably need to go investigate exactly who's getting credit for them
- 49:14ships. You know what I'm saying, Tiny Diamond is just a small character.
- 49:20I can see if like the whole movie was me, then I really
- 49:23be like, yo, what's going on with this and that and the other?
- 49:25Like the whole movie is my character? And some music like thing like
- 49:30come on, man, yeah, question, did you find a house with
- 49:35the two staircases? Yet? No? Man like apartment life? You know
- 49:45out New Jersey to New Jersey. Like I love to talk trash about New
- 49:57Jersey, but I love New Jersey. Wow, here we go there it

- 51:34example of like if it wasn't for Isaac, would Chef be a thing?
- 51:40You know what I'm saying, Adalyzes and all of that benefiting from that South
- 51:46Park benefit because I got that album and I listened to Isaac songs from that
- 51:52album a lot. In the song that he did with like Rick James,
- 51:54like Rick James Knight Turnative one. But like I feel like all of that
- 51:58was orchestrated by Isaac's involvement, you know what I'm saying. Found benefiting from
- 52:04that because they just sold their catalog for a billion dollars, you know what
- 52:07I'm saying. Between I'm like, is that trickling down the way it needs
- 52:13to? I don't know, it's you know, I don't have fight.
- 52:15It's just a contractual thing. If he signed it, he signed it,
- 52:17you know what I'm saying. But these are things that we should for because
- 52:22man, that music coming out of Chef, it's God said, bro.
- 52:27Like it's only certain people that like you can't just hear you can't hire you
- 52:32know Clarence Williams the third to be chef. Oh no no. So before
- 52:40we let you go, any of the crew, you got a question,
- 52:45anybody in the audience. I want to have a question. I don't have
- 52:50a questions. I just want to I just want to say thank you for
- 52:53what you've contributed to all of us, all the generations. Legend is honestly
- 53:00not high enough of a title. And I know that you're a very humble
- 53:04person, but you put smiles on people's faces where they didn't have hope.
- 53:07So if you ever look down and think, well, what have I done,
- 53:12just look back at all the generations of people that were influenced by a
- 53:15young you being on that screen and just doing your thing, bro, doing
- 53:20your motherfucking things, and and and nothing makes me happier than seeing you crack
- 53:23during a skit when Dave Schappelle's breastfeeding any nonsensical moment. It's too much for
- 53:32me to just stare at and act like it's not funny. That's why it's
- 53:37gonna starting like work for me, and that's gonna take the fun out of
- 53:40it, you know what I mean. Like I'm sitting here looking at god
- 53:45giftedly talented individuals, you know what I'm saying, and like I'm supposed to
- 53:49just stare at that and like under the guys of being professional just like not
- 53:53laugh like that's not funny. Like I can't do that. I can try
- 53:58to like not hyper derailed sketch by just like overly laughing at it. But
- 54:02I have to react, man, I have to like stay natural. Yeah,
- 54:07so, uh plug the pod that you're getting ready to go do.
- 54:10Yeah, yeah you already know, you already know. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 54:20this, that and the other we're supposed to be going. Yeah,
- 54:22I know, ah, Kean, this is probably one. This is just
- 54:34part one. Yes, I was gonna say, this door is open.
- 54:37Yeah, I'll bring I'll bring you your coffee the next time I see you.
- 54:43If that, if that's you know what I mean. I think it's
- 54:52important to like like the way y'alla following the six year old girl in her
- 54:55makeup journey. You know, she's six years old, so like when we
- 55:00look back at what she's done by the time she's thirty six, you know
- 55:04what I mean, she might have like won several awards, you know,
- 55:07because we can see that that is her gift, you know what I mean.
- 55:10And if she im that in something wide ranging enough and it reaches enough
- 55:15people, that's exactly what's going to happen. So like it's important I think
- 55:20to follow up with you know, like minded individuals number one. But also
- 55:24like you see someone who like sparks something that you like, it's like be
- 55:30and a fan, like being a sports fan, you know what I mean,
- 55:34Just like keep up with them and watch them and support them or spread
- 55:37the word on them, like whatever you can do, you know what I
- 55:39mean, and then pass them on to more capable hands if you have the
- 55:44chance to do so. Yeah. My point is an, y'all see something
- 55:49that you think is going to be dope, let me know, we sit
- 55:51down and chop it up. Oh yeah, I'm already following you. Yeah,
- 56:00I gotta I gotta stalk all of y'all back sometimes getting time and everybody,
- 56:09thank you for coming on, my brother, God, bless God.
- 56:20This is uh, this has been fun. This is a whoa that's almost
- 56:28that's almost like good everybody we on that. Really, Now, let's go
- 56:37how do you you really? Don't you get to rocking next? Exactly?
- 56:45Here's get Roger. Yeah, okay, okay, if we show out a
- 56:53little bit, we're we're not that reserve. Oh we're not. Think Lady
- 57:06man was gonna need to shout a bourbon after this one. Uh waiting about
- 57:14to go do a run around? Heres about to go do a run around
- 57:15the block? She got that much right, but because she has to get
- 57:20all the excitement off. Yeah, and please don't do your second okay tonight,
- 57:24Okay, then you might have a heart. That's what's gonna get me.
- 57:28Thins and that of me. Oh my god, I'll give you my
- 57:38I'll give you my minutes from the hospital. I think it'd be just no,
- 57:42no, no, no, no downers, no downers, no downs
- 57:45about down I'm talking morphine. Let's go, baby, we couldn't. They
- 57:52didn't give you the right medication. What are you talking about? A lot?
- 57:55It didn't work, so they had to give me morphine. Presented the
- 57:59chat Jesus I like the guest left and the show immediately devolved involved in a
- 58:14different direction. That's all around the evolution. Evolution but we stuck around long
- 58:21if he didn't have to go. And I think that that eventually, because
- 58:24when if you were I tell people all the time, we will get people
- 58:35to have a name on this pod and you can feel them get comfortable with
- 58:38us and they start becoming more of themselves. And that's the magic that a
- 58:43lot of and I dare I say this, a lot of podcasts don't have.
- 58:49So we are our own X men, y'all, we are mute.
- 58:52Sorry when when you get that first ship that you made, it like,
- 59:00oh wow, look here, I'm glad. I'm glad Navy said it.
- 59:04Because today's December twenty first, and this is our superpower. This is what
- 59:09we do Black people Superpower Day. Let's go negro my and your brooms up
- 59:20and take your pictures. Y'all, stand your brooms up. I'm winning frozen
- 59:23for a second. Where's my super suit? My super sure, my super
- 59:30suit. So speaking of Sam Jackson, happy birthday, seventy fifth birthday,
- 59:35Happy birthday, Sam seventy five is seventy five years. Look not believe that
- 59:46God? No, yeah from man that made motherfucker his his whole life status.
- 59:53Why are we surprised? The more you cuss. The more you cuss
- 59:58young, the younger you look. And they're in lies the regimen push ups,
- 1:00:08you're napkin, you're napking and you're using it. And then you're using
- 1:00:13the R on everything. Yeah, you're you're not using the spell right doesn't
- 1:00:16work. It's Livio side, not liosa boatoks ain't working. Shut up.
- 1:00:25Oh, let's let's talk about a little bit of news the far he says.
- 1:00:42Uh, y'all think he spent most of the marvel sitting down for no
- 1:00:45reason? Oh god, oh my god. I mean, I'm just saying
- 1:00:55he's legendary. Okay, she says, I wonder my bank account negative?
- 1:01:06Man, that's what happened, right, so uh? As it was announced
- 1:01:09last week the Eyes of What Kinda will be the next Disney Plus series,
- 1:01:13the animated black Panther series based on other characters dealing with Wakanda, and the
- 1:01:19first two episodes are written by friend of the show other than Mark Benardin.
- 1:01:24Okay, nice, let's go. So those who were wondering if he's why
- 1:01:31he's not writing or why he hasn't written. Uh. The second part of
- 1:01:36he Man Masters in the Universe for Netflix. Man, what that man said
- 1:01:45that man said, negroes, leave me alone. I'm writing, leave me
- 1:01:51alone with some stuff, and he got to put he got to get to
- 1:01:52work. So yeah, uh, it's obviously not going to be focused on
- 1:01:58one character, which is Black Panther, but they will be focusing on other
- 1:02:01characters, which is what a lot of people are asking for to anyway,
- 1:02:06you know, especially those who are just getting introduced to Wakanda. And yes,
- 1:02:12we would like for it to be real. Don't be holding I wish
- 1:02:17it was that's overnight. I would add my series. I want a Dora
- 1:02:27solo, that's all I want. I want to see women of mister.
- 1:02:34I'm not going to We wanted Midnight Angels. You know, the dog will
- 1:02:44be there, but the Midnight and the Midnight Angels would have to be involved.
- 1:02:51Midnight Malaja or the Midnight Door. I don't know. It'll be here.
- 1:02:55And here's here's here's the thought. Here's the thought. Dorla is coming
- 1:02:59up against the enemy they haven't faced before. But guess who has General Koye
- 1:03:05but General Mark with the dorm olage because the queen basically fired her. However
- 1:03:13that's what she did. However, Sherry in her heart says, I need
- 1:03:19the captain, I need the general, I need my general knows this person
- 1:03:22back, and through a series of events, by the end of the series,
- 1:03:28she is given not only her status back, but she's also keeping her
- 1:03:32Midnight Angel armor. Mmmm. That would make a kick ass movie. Actually,
- 1:03:38see the Midnight Angels would be the Elite Guard exact queen. I'm just
- 1:03:44I'm just saying the movie wise, that would be, that would be exactly.
- 1:03:49I'm sorry, let me shut up before marbles. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:03:51keep going, keep going. Look, look we're helping them. You're right,
- 1:04:01they need it, they need away. They are How did he do
- 1:04:09that? He did it on the fly because I'm a fan, damn it.
- 1:04:14And you have so much, you have so much lower you could pull
- 1:04:17from so much, Like let's call kram Horn please, that's what I thought
- 1:04:24you said. Was going to be writing the show show exactly should show Yeah,
- 1:04:30so yeah, I mean she she's got the whole history down. She
- 1:04:34held the book literally wrote she probably one of the wrote this entire book.
- 1:04:45She might be one of the consultants on the show. We just don't know
- 1:04:47it yet. ND shut up a lot of lips. Yep, nigga,
- 1:04:54don't have I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I was gonna
- 1:04:59say another name. I don't shut up. So so yeah, I know,
- 1:05:08I know Spartan, I know Navy, I know you guys, and
- 1:05:12I think Lady Met I believe are reading X Men titles period. Yes,
- 1:05:18and we're obviously not too happy with this fallow Wakanda no or fall of a
- 1:05:24fall of CoA. At one point, I literally when they when they started
- 1:05:34out with this this story arc, mm hmmm. All I can say is
- 1:05:40why didn't they live and live? I just need to live alone and they
- 1:05:45could their own problems. Do not want them to unite? They were so
- 1:05:56so they're getting basic relaunched. It's not it's not spoilers. It's not a
- 1:06:02spoilers because at this point they're headed toward I'm sorry, go ahead, go
- 1:06:04ahead, Ris, I'm sorry, you're doing it. You're doing a relaunch.
- 1:06:08Uh, you're doing X Men from the Ashes. It's for July twenty
- 1:06:13twenty four. Yeah, it's like they just slow down on these X titles
- 1:06:20really because just consolidate. Why are we doing because they have way they have
- 1:06:29way storial lines out there. You got to think you have literally storms Storming,
- 1:06:34the Storm in the Brotherhood, you have Marauders, you still have the
- 1:06:38young X Men somewhere in the middle of this, and for some odd reason,
- 1:06:43you still have X Men Red, so you have Bred is still going
- 1:06:47on. It is still going you lines going on? Yeah, are they
- 1:06:54launching? They're relaunching the Hickman story like from where started? No story?
- 1:07:01Yes, I'm sorry, yes, so how is that Powers of the relaunching
- 1:07:06from there? Is? So it just started. There's the Fall of Cks,
- 1:07:12fall House by Jerry Dugan, Lewis Werneck, Rise of the Powers of
- 1:07:15XTS by Karyon Gillen and Silva, launching in January twenty four, five issue
- 1:07:21five. These dual five issue limited series bring the Cocoa era full circle as
- 1:07:27the X Men unite for one last battle with Orchis. Yeah, hence hence
- 1:07:30the rise of that. That's base of the Rise of after the Fallbacks because
- 1:07:34orcust I always laugh how Orcas just came through a one issue and wiped out
- 1:07:40change mutanthood as we know it, and yet we need about fifty different issues
- 1:07:45to Saturday back to the way it was. All I could say is the
- 1:07:50way they've been writing Storm I couldn't have been more happier when lost record is
- 1:07:57intenchible. Yeah, she's like ninety five ninety six Chicago Bulls right now,
- 1:08:03she is wiping the floor, Gladdy. I mean, I'm just saying she
- 1:08:10had to so many people walk in the storm, and storm took that personal.
- 1:08:15And even I ain't lying. Somebody got somebody got lit up. And
- 1:08:17I do mean that in the literal sense. Deep Fried. I hate when
- 1:08:26they mentioned it that way, like it's a relaunch. I'm not really happy
- 1:08:31with that. I don't know if that's what they mean, because Tom Breeword
- 1:08:34is the one that put the news out, so mm hm, and I
- 1:08:39like what he puts out. But I'm just Kia's face looks like from the
- 1:08:44movie Smile. I'm not down with it. Whatever Will, what Will says?
- 1:08:49He's cracking up. That's why I keep looking at the chat. I'm
- 1:08:51like, what did you say? Did y'all eat? Why ain't you sharing?
- 1:08:57Listen? There's this bullship Bunky's flying or me? And then he's I
- 1:09:09don't know who he saw me? Slow shut the twitch, shut up,
- 1:09:19Rainey told you. Every he always says something, who's what thee? We
- 1:09:39know you don't hear, because we do. I love you. Did anybody
- 1:09:45catch the license plate that that bus Landey got thrown down? The good Lord
- 1:09:48right beloved, I got. I'm gonna do it. I'm I'm gonna Okay,
- 1:09:56I'll do it. You're just needed, lady convert off that bus before
- 1:10:01we go on. I know, Navy, you had some stuff in the
- 1:10:03game world that was going on and with Hasbro, so tell them about it.
- 1:10:09Well, a couple of things that popped up that have genuinely really one
- 1:10:13is good news and the other one I just don't understand. The first news
- 1:10:16has come up is that Bobby Kodik, who has been the head of Activision
- 1:10:20Blizzard, they're finally getting rid of that gollumn. They're finally getting rid of
- 1:10:25that troll. As of the twenty ninth of December, he is no more.
- 1:10:29So all of this drama that's been going on with harassment and sexual allegations
- 1:10:41and things like that, we're all under him. And we've seen this trend
- 1:10:45come out where game companies will get a group together, develop a game and
- 1:10:49then get rid of them. Activision Blizz is bad for that because of Bobby
- 1:10:55Kodek. Well, they said, well, he said well, I'm leaving.
- 1:10:57No, Bro, They're getting rid of your ass because you have just
- 1:11:00been the gollum out of the whole Lord of the Rings. You're that character
- 1:11:02nobody wants. But you're there not anymore. So as of the twenty ninth,
- 1:11:09it's no more. So they are now going to incorporate Activision Blizzard into
- 1:11:13Microsoft Games. So we're gonna see how that that whole, that whole process
- 1:11:18goes. So whoever was still there, they're going to incorporate them into the
- 1:11:24chain of command. So for everyone who has don't have to worry about him
- 1:11:29anymore. Good I don't either, yip be quit fucking with my diablo.
- 1:11:34The other is the message coming from out from Hasbro. I don't know people.
- 1:11:40There are folks who play dungeons and dragons and play magic at the Gathering.
- 1:11:44Hasbro has over eleven hundred layoffs in those subdivisions, their most lucrative subdivision
- 1:11:53because magic the Gathering makes money. They make money. They incorporated Lord of
- 1:11:58the Rings a doctor who have been getting record profits and they're laying people off.
- 1:12:01Meanwhile, they're giving millions and bonuses to the napkins up above. Am
- 1:12:09I like y'all you can't have it both ways, you can't say and for
- 1:12:15Christmas, that's the cold blooded part. You don't get richer by handing out
- 1:12:21money. But at the same time, greed will kill a corporation faster.
- 1:12:28Green will kill a corporation faster than bad product. Big time. Now,
- 1:12:32I'm just getting into playing Magic to Gather, but I've been playing D and
- 1:12:35D since I was sixteen, so that game has just brought so many people
- 1:12:40to the table, especially people that are video gamers. Balder's Gay, You've
- 1:12:45got Diablo. All these games have been bringing people together. But you're about
- 1:12:49to let go of people whose intellectualness brought these games to the forefront. I
- 1:12:56never thought of incorporating Lord of the Rings and the Magic the Gathering, but
- 1:13:00because they had that one ring that they found in Canada, fuck y'all and
- 1:13:04uh but people, but people enjoyed it. I even picked up some of
- 1:13:13my doctor who cars today. But it makes no sense to me that they're
- 1:13:16doing this. And if you're a gamer, especially if you play either one
- 1:13:21of those games, just just keep an eyeball out and keep you keep your
- 1:13:27groups close because I'm ready to jump off of this it. Keep screwing this
- 1:13:30up. It's just the beginning of the end with these acquisitions. These acquisitions
- 1:13:35are gonna make a lot of these game studios disappear. Going to they already
- 1:13:42are Warner Brothers and who's a paramount. Yep, Yeah, there's talks of
- 1:13:48the emerging Warner Brothers has not had a very banner anything. Warner Brothers just
- 1:13:58needs to go ahead and just try again for twenty four at this point they
- 1:14:01have not had in years. They do they try to shift themselves into something
- 1:14:05else. Yeah, I think it's been happening. It's the past what three
- 1:14:10years, they've just been keep trying to remake. Yeah, and it doesn't
- 1:14:16work. I want to say again, now, Warner Brothers problem has always
- 1:14:23been they listened to executives that march on staking cokaine. That's the problem.
- 1:14:30Sorry, sorry, they do. I want to read this really quick to
- 1:14:34y'all. I want to get your take on this and where it comes from.
- 1:14:39It's a strange loss. Amongst eleven hundred layoffs is making Gale Brenth donoghue,
- 1:14:43who directed Magic the Gatherings, Universes Beyond, Creative and Production Teams Universes
- 1:14:47Beyond, has lest some of the most profitable and successful ventures for the Trading
- 1:14:51Car game, including Lord of the Rings, Premiere, Tales from the Middle
- 1:14:55Earth, Doctor Who, They've Got, Fallout coming up, Final Fantasy seven,
- 1:14:59and the Marl Cinematic Universe crossovers. So you took somebody that brought you
- 1:15:03money and you said goodbye pretty much because they already brought the money. It's
- 1:15:10too expensive to maintain. Once they got the once they got the eye,
- 1:15:15that was it. You didn't need the person. Once you have the product.
- 1:15:17Why do you need them? They basically pull They basically pulled a star.
- 1:15:24Oh but if you have one person that's running the whole thing, why
- 1:15:31would they say for that song? So hard? God? Oh my god,
- 1:15:46lady, give me your last name in the chat because it's coming.
- 1:15:53I don't I don't know. You're starting to see, you're starting to see
- 1:15:57this friend of all these games different whether it's board games or or online,
- 1:16:06where they're starting to do these merge mergers right where they're you know, you're
- 1:16:11getting crossovers. You're getting Omni Man shown up in Mortal Kombat, Homelanders showing
- 1:16:16up in Mortal Kombat, all the characters that maybe just mentioned for these games.
- 1:16:23It's a trend. It's cool when it's it's cool. When it's just
- 1:16:27like once or twice, it's it's cool. You get a different skin,
- 1:16:30or you get a different piece to come into your board game. It's cool.
- 1:16:33But then when you start doing it for everything, it loses its it
- 1:16:39loses its flavor. It's micro transactions. That was what that, This was
- 1:16:45what we all. This is what said a long time ago, kids before
- 1:16:49before two thousand. We sat there and said it because we saw another games.
- 1:16:56We said, Mike, your transactions would be the surprise things you'll see
- 1:17:03in Dame. Are not surprised by that. But simple fact, we're not
- 1:17:06surprised. Let me think about it. Fortnite Fortnight is nothing but micro transactions.
- 1:17:11They blow three with micro transactions. What are y'all doing? Freak?
- 1:17:18I don't know. I see here they're using They're using Apple products. That's
- 1:17:28why I don't know this. This is this is the after effect that when
- 1:17:30you use Apple you basically become your own Apple commercial. Oh, I just
- 1:17:39keep waiting for the I keep waiting for the iPhone. Seen the pop up
- 1:17:41on Kara's shoulder, talking, my god, that's so right now. So
- 1:17:53I don't know, but yeah, I would. I'm gonna fall chair calm
- 1:17:59and then micro chair transaction thing. And this is just this falls back on
- 1:18:03when you start talking about like digital media and physical media. It falls into
- 1:18:09that same realm because it's like, okay, you're doing a trend. Now,
- 1:18:12what was wrong with your previous outlining layout? Nothing? There was nothing
- 1:18:20wrong, absolutely nothing, it was wrong. It's seldom about improving a process.
- 1:18:29It's about maximizing a dollar. And that's that's all it ever comes down
- 1:18:33to. Okay, in that case, let's look at it. Let's look
- 1:18:36at all the streaming services. They're wondering why, especially this year, why
- 1:18:43so many films are underperforming? Mm hmm. You're making it too viable to
- 1:18:50You got inflation number one, Yeah, people, inflation, Scott, you
- 1:19:00got inflation, and then you have you're saying, oh, and for those
- 1:19:04that make it easier, it'll be on your television streaming service in the next
- 1:19:11three in forty five days. That's you should You shouldn't do that for every
- 1:19:17film, right, you should just say, Okay, this film will be
- 1:19:21on your streaming service in forty five days, but this film is gonna get
- 1:19:26a full run. If you really want to play the game play the game,
- 1:19:30don't make everything the forty five run, forty five day run, and
- 1:19:34then like maybe you add attack on a number thirty days, then it shows
- 1:19:38up on Hulu or Disney or who this or whatever. Well, wasn't there
- 1:19:44a specific month where we talked about it where we sat there and said,
- 1:19:46your wall's gonna take a hit because there was like one movie after another movie
- 1:19:51after another movie. I forgot what month it was this year, but like
- 1:19:56multiple movies one after another, and we after and said, we sat there
- 1:20:01and said, if you single, you might be able to bull it off,
- 1:20:04just because if you got like movie pass or regal card or whatever is
- 1:20:09in your area, that that allows you to watch one movie as a person.
- 1:20:15But if you've got a family or you know, there's more than three
- 1:20:17of you, guys, moviegoing is kind of Rough's window you're talking about.
- 1:20:26Yeah, you're lucky if you go with the family, for you're lucky if
- 1:20:30you go twice a month a month too. I mean yeah, and that's
- 1:20:35and that's by myself. I don't want to go twice a month. I
- 1:20:43say three. I love three people to the movies and I'm spending eighty bucks.
- 1:20:48Yeah, it's and that's just the tickets. That's just the tickets.
- 1:20:54But we've also seen I've also seen theaters closed down too because oh good the
- 1:21:00yeah goodness, I can't remember the name of it. There was a chain
- 1:21:04that actually shut down because it was one theater I would always go to and
- 1:21:08I went there one day to watch a movie and it was gone, and
- 1:21:11I said, is amc cinema? Cinema? Okay, cinema cinemas up here?
- 1:21:18Yeah? Yeah, one the one I go to is the cinema.
- 1:21:21Yeah, we had four of them in the area. We're down to one.
- 1:21:25Damn yeah. Same thing with us saying thing with us in Regal Regal
- 1:21:29Regal Intendent Milita. The sea had at one point fifteen, they're now down
- 1:21:32to four. It sounds like it's about to go to way Blockbuster. Yeah,
- 1:21:43this is still the last that last would have still fighting Yeah, yea,
- 1:21:50not last. For the reason that's just like it's just like there's there's
- 1:21:58just like it's a pizza hut uh in Streetsborough. I think it is that
- 1:22:04it still has the buffet and I'm like, oh wow, at all he's
- 1:22:13all you need buffets with the pizza and the pasta pastase those red cups that
- 1:22:24hold a limited amounts of soda. Oh my god, he's getting a limited
- 1:22:27amounts of mountain dew. You bring me back, so uh Percy Jackson premier
- 1:22:32last night, Yeah, last night to first two episodes on the first one,
- 1:22:39it's good. Yeah, it's gone. It stop that. Here's the
- 1:22:45thing. It's so good. But here's the thing. Do what does everyone
- 1:22:51know who's who plays Zeus? Yeah, no, I haven't. I can't.
- 1:22:57I haven't seen. I haven't started watching it yet. It's wait,
- 1:23:00don't say it last ready, you gotta be kidding me first. But yeah,
- 1:23:12he's not on. They haven't shown it yet. But he was one
- 1:23:15of the damn so we get to see. We get to see one more
- 1:23:20time. It's crazy. It's supposed to be four more times because there's three
- 1:23:27more move books. Yeah if I I don't think he's that that prominent.
- 1:23:34But still, you know the fact that a lot you know, I mean
- 1:23:39yeah, right, but yeah, it's it's it's good. There's a lot.
- 1:23:46There's a lot of there's a lot of us and yeah, disappears I
- 1:23:55was just like technology they made in Africa. Maybe see I have I have
- 1:24:09a whole I have a whole reason to watch it now. Really good.
- 1:24:15It's actually really good. I hope is exactly what I believe she to be.
- 1:24:18If we're sticking with us. May now, now you know you can't
- 1:24:25have you can't have that. I'm greedy. I wanted all I want I
- 1:24:30want. I mean we might have. We might have a the since I
- 1:24:34mean, okay, take take sand Man for instance on Netflix. I've read
- 1:24:41the books. However, death I was like, okay, I'm here for
- 1:24:45a whole no other reason now because I was just like, and she's British.
- 1:24:53Yeah, it's the British for sure. I mean acting to go the
- 1:25:00face, yeah, I'll do it. Kill me. It will sound that
- 1:25:05bad. Come on, I'll get I get your number. Though you're gonna
- 1:25:15be here, You're gonna be here the whole time. How does she how
- 1:25:16does she said? Like every day? She said, she says, she
- 1:25:21takes the face that people will most take on, you know that they will
- 1:25:28most likely not be against. And I'm like, oh no, yeah,
- 1:25:31if I just died of horrible death and then you show up and I'm like,
- 1:25:35I'm okay, now feel possible. But you know what you all right?
- 1:25:46You can tell the post behind my knees, y'all. Absolutely, I'm
- 1:25:54alive, my god, this today. There we go, There we go.
- 1:26:04That's right, there we go, right there and gone, lady,
- 1:26:09there we go, Thank you, thank you. You know, we should
- 1:26:13have we should have shown it. This is just just because we should have
- 1:26:15found a way to show it. Should be, it should be at the
- 1:26:17at the ready. We'll just do it in part two. He would have
- 1:26:19laughed. Right. So, I don't know, James Gunn, I didn't
- 1:26:30know Creature commanders was commandos was coming out as soon as it was. Oh,
- 1:26:34I didn't know. So he said later, he said later it's going
- 1:26:38to be next year, which is just a couple of weeks around the corner,
- 1:26:41right, But before or after san Diego, that's the question. That's
- 1:26:46the way. He didn't give it you. James Gunn keeps everything close to
- 1:26:49the chest, as he should. Cut the bullshit. This nigga showing up,
- 1:26:55This nigga showed up. God damn san Diego, Goddamn gen Con.
- 1:26:58Ain't no way this motherfucking he is coming to Did I say dream you did
- 1:27:03dream time? That's a different I'm like different. I'm not saying he wouldn't
- 1:27:09be welcome. But DC World, you have a new location for your con.
- 1:27:14Okay, San Diego Dream Con. Woo. But no, he's showing
- 1:27:17up at San Diego. They haven't been there in what two three years now,
- 1:27:21it's been two years they haven't had Marvel had presence. Yeah, like
- 1:27:27the in DC hasn't had a strong presence in San Diego in about three and
- 1:27:32now you think is showing up Marvel again showing up, But Marvel like Marbles
- 1:27:42show up, like he hasn't yet, but but right now the way he's
- 1:27:45about to show up, Mars shown up. But their hall age presence has
- 1:27:50been lacking this year, their hallage presence, they actually may room for other
- 1:27:56companies to come in and use the stage because DC isn't really there, Marvel
- 1:28:00wasn't really there, All the big companies weren't really there. But next year
- 1:28:04it's gonna be it's gonna be a gladiatorial fight to see who gets what's spot
- 1:28:09win and what they sit there and be like you go ahead, Marvel,
- 1:28:14go ahead. I wait. The one major project coming out next year and
- 1:28:19that's that we know of. I'm going to slang that put it on the
- 1:28:25table. But that's one that we know of. Like I said, Marble's
- 1:28:30known for not really saying much. They may not they would I see Marvel
- 1:28:39producing. Marble may show the movie we all see coming. But at the
- 1:28:42same time, there's still series out there. They can still push forward.
- 1:28:45What they haven't they like, they haven't said anything about the Fantastic for They
- 1:28:49have said nothing about uh x men. They have said Blade is just now
- 1:28:58getting back on the rails, you know, so they need to relax.
- 1:29:00That Emercy Glass, that Emercy Glass case is still there. Yes, that's
- 1:29:09it, every day every day for what eight days? Yeah, yep,
- 1:29:14So we're we're about to get were about to eat for the week for a
- 1:29:16couple of weeks. Week. So I'm just saying I'm hoping DC, Like
- 1:29:23I said, I just because I'm DC for first Marvel second. I hope
- 1:29:26that comes out there and blows us all away. I hope, upon hope
- 1:29:31that he does that, because dcs are gonna come out dicking balls of swinging
- 1:29:36palls just to go off. I will say this, I have never stood
- 1:29:41in the line for hall ah, but I will break that trend next year
- 1:29:45if need be strowing. I believe, I believe it that d C will
- 1:29:53finally have like they have not even in their presence, they have not really
- 1:29:59produced mm hmm, even this last even their last run, and it was
- 1:30:04with Shazam and Black Adam, like it was so lackluster. Yeah, you
- 1:30:10felt flat. Yeah, I mean, I mean they felt completely flat.
- 1:30:14Like it was like, damn, y'all not even it wasn't even a striking
- 1:30:16y'all fell flat like I mean, the amount of hype they put around Black
- 1:30:21Atom still makes me laugh. Don't get me wrong, I will I will
- 1:30:25always support the rock in whatever he does. But bruh, you was reaching
- 1:30:30upon the star on top of the ladder that wasn't and you hope it would
- 1:30:34work. You came, you came through the hierarchies about to change. Well
- 1:30:40you didn't. Bullshit there, You're right, it changed, just not the
- 1:30:43way you thought it was. It was so sad Ladder step ladder, cherry
- 1:30:47Picker and all that movie. You know what, you can't say he didn't
- 1:30:51try. I'll give it. He gave the old college truck. He did,
- 1:30:55I mean more successful than Black Adam was greached for the stars. You
- 1:31:00flew too high, a little bird that took him bird. It took him
- 1:31:06fifteen years to make that. Yeah, it was pretty much so. The
- 1:31:11strip felt like they didn't update it since day one. I believe I believe
- 1:31:15they I believe they kept certain elements. I believe they kept the whole thing.
- 1:31:21I mean, don't get me wrong. Shout shout out to don't you're
- 1:31:27all. I love how doctor love how Doctor Fate looked, although the helmet
- 1:31:30was supposed to stay on. I loved how Hawkman looked. Hawkman's probably was
- 1:31:34the saving grace. Uh shout out to not be collective and of course mister
- 1:31:39Hodge himself, but that part I mean that, I mean, just aside
- 1:31:44from that, your story fell flat. Your story was flattered than a macin
- 1:31:48at a all White Tailor Swift concert. I'm just sorry. That's how bad
- 1:31:51it was. Damn, damn, I'm just am I wrong. It wasn't
- 1:31:59was it not owned with then? Not Ono Max like two weeks later?
- 1:32:02So yeah, look, does it have a watch factor? Yes? Is
- 1:32:10it rewatchable? But is it one of those films that you like, Oh,
- 1:32:13Black Adam's on, I gotta go watch it. No, not really,
- 1:32:16you know, like you said the Hawkman angle, Black Adams. Look,
- 1:32:21I'm with it, you know, but they didn't do enough. It
- 1:32:27was it was I felt like, like you said, yeah, yeah,
- 1:32:31I mean all the enemies you could introduce me the backstory. The backstory was
- 1:32:36fine. Mm hm, backstory completely. I was just like, oh,
- 1:32:40didn't see that coming like that, Okay, that's right. And then you
- 1:32:44went left, you know, somewhere like you fast paced everything else, but
- 1:32:48you made it here. But you're right that that goes into what we said
- 1:32:54though. Who actually picked up a Black Adam comic and said, you know
- 1:32:57what, maybe we should write it this way. Yeah, and like,
- 1:33:01like to far As, I said that the Henry cavillve, Oh that was
- 1:33:05just wrong. I thought that was the saving grace. Oh he's back,
- 1:33:11oh later, Nope, that was That was the funny thing is when I
- 1:33:20saw Black Adam and and I knew they were gonna come out with it,
- 1:33:25the comic head and me just kind of sat back and said, Okay,
- 1:33:28typically in comics, Black Adam was the antithesis of Captain Marvel, So why
- 1:33:33didn't y'all put them in the same move because they have the same fucking power
- 1:33:40source and along the same lord. I said, oh wait, that's common
- 1:33:45sense. Sorry, I forgot who I was talking about in the Rock of
- 1:33:49Ages or just the literally the Seat of Power. You could have win any
- 1:33:56which way you wanted to about this, and yet you could have made exactly
- 1:34:00think's dreams come true of getting a third movie. Mmm yes, m dang,
- 1:34:11though not the Bleach movie that we all we all wish we could forget
- 1:34:14too far. I owe you lunch for you. So yeah, there's there's
- 1:34:24certain things that still left on the board waiting to be seen. I believe
- 1:34:29James gunn for hall Age next year. I believe he's gonna show out.
- 1:34:33He's beating just enough, just enough to say, hey, I'm out.
- 1:34:41I'm not yanking your chain here, something is happening. Here's this piece,
- 1:34:45here's this piece, here's this piece. But you're not gonna get to see
- 1:34:47the suit until I want you to see the suit. You're not gonna get
- 1:34:50to see Brainiac until I'm ready for you to see Brainiac. You're not gonna
- 1:34:55see uh uh Nicholas Hope in full lex Lex Luthor regalia until I'm ready for
- 1:35:04you to see him. And he's not even the main focus. That's the
- 1:35:08that's the thing. He's not even getting a mister but we're getting a mister
- 1:35:13Terrific, Yeah, mister Holt himself. All we're seeing. All we're seeing
- 1:35:20are the are are the actors that's playing mister Terrific and Superman. All we're
- 1:35:27seeing right now are them in the gym? Y'all are getting the gray sweatpants
- 1:35:32treatment? Are we going to? Maybe that's what we see right now.
- 1:35:41And let me tell you what. Yeah, you know what I am.
- 1:35:56And I'm adding a third girl to the to the team. Wow, uh
- 1:36:06wow, what the hell? The hands and the celebration, just jesus well
- 1:36:19that whatever gets you there. What we do know is that what we do
- 1:36:25know about the X Men film is that Magneto will not be introduced. And
- 1:36:29I'm fine with that. Mm hmmm. Take your time, you have you
- 1:36:35have plenty. You have plenty. That's the thing you can do. You
- 1:36:39can still do X Men and not have Magneto involved. It doesn't have to
- 1:36:43be Magneedle all the time. You can literally start anywhere. That's the beauty
- 1:36:47of this. You don't have to start immasingly with Magneto. You could literally
- 1:36:51start any at any point and still make a DMCU. You can start,
- 1:36:58if anything, you can even start off with you can start off with Striker
- 1:37:02if you wanted to. Yeah, you can stop the strict and make it
- 1:37:05better. You can the human liberation, that's another one. That's the room.
- 1:37:15They could start with a fisto. They could, don't they off of
- 1:37:18fisto? Yeah? Again another time that some boys real happy with that one.
- 1:37:24Again another time that Marvel could have put the right hero and the right
- 1:37:29villain together to tell the story. And somebody choked on the chicken bone.
- 1:37:32Oh, I'm just waiting for somebody to walk into the boardroom and say so
- 1:37:36about Wanda. No, no, she's not dead. Listen, we need
- 1:37:42to talk about Wanda, like you just don't scoff her like she's drift the
- 1:37:46sunset. I still I still laugh about she sacrificed herself. She was like,
- 1:37:53I just don't even be dealing with this. Someone someone that read the
- 1:37:56Dark Hole and was like, I could just disappear and nobody will find me.
- 1:38:00Mm hmmm, just saying, hm, just kind of changed my life
- 1:38:05or whatever, change my ways. Right. So that's just it. But
- 1:38:12that's why that's the thing though. It's like with the X Men, it
- 1:38:14is it. Let's be honest with you, let's be honest with the MCU,
- 1:38:16the X Men, Fantastic four. There your last two bullets in an
- 1:38:21already overused gut. If you don't use them properly, that might be the
- 1:38:27end. They're shooting out of a warped barrel. That's all I gotta say.
- 1:38:31I mean that revolver gathered, she got you got to you got you
- 1:38:38got to that one chamber, don't miss seriously. So she said she tried
- 1:38:45that before and had to start marking people well, and her defense and in
- 1:38:54all and why this defense. She was going through grief and then they lied
- 1:39:00to her, and her whole grief took a whole town. I'm sorry.
- 1:39:03Wait they first she was going through grief mm hmm. Then they wouldn't let
- 1:39:10her see her boyfriend, and then they lied to her. They lied to
- 1:39:13her first, then they wouldn't litter see her boyfriend. Then they lied to
- 1:39:15her. Then they lied on her. That she knew, you fucking knew.
- 1:39:27I'm sorry. I wasna I was gonna say, without wanted, we
- 1:39:30wouldn't have be Seon. But what let's be honest, but I wanted we'd
- 1:39:34have Beean just saying, well, this drip without what I mean he is
- 1:39:47what common But I still laugh about the whole thing with him and him and
- 1:39:51White Vision. It's like the whole ship of Thesius. I was like,
- 1:39:54did we just have an intellectual battle on this from and then no mind battle
- 1:39:58that has left him just leaving out rage winning raed Queen. I'm leaving.
