- 3:18Speaker 3: It was? Man? You know, man, God is.
- 3:23Speaker 1: The question I was.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Getting at, What does that do for an artist like yourself?
- 3:26Speaker 2: Because clearly there's gotta be some type of inspiration there.
- 3:28Speaker 3: But as far as just watching the show was great.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's j you know what I mean.
- 3:33Speaker 3: It's just it's that feel that you get or whatever.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Just to see him still rocking and doing his thing
- 3:39Speaker 3: or whatever, you know, all these years or whatever. It
- 3:41Speaker 3: was just it was phenomenal, you know. And then to
- 3:45Speaker 3: be in New York Yankee Stadium. I ain't never been
- 3:48Speaker 3: in the Yankee Stadium. It was just great, you know,
- 3:51Speaker 3: I was. I was just taking back man, the love
- 3:54Speaker 3: that people have and all that. So yeah, it was
- 3:56Speaker 3: it was just great man being there.
- 3:58Speaker 2: You know, did you go you I went all four
- 4:01Speaker 2: days too, and I didn't even planning to after I'm
- 4:03Speaker 2: gonna go reasonable down there. But it was such like
- 4:06Speaker 2: a natural dopamine here, like I gotta go see with
- 4:09Speaker 2: the blueprints. I want to go see blueprints. And I
- 4:11Speaker 2: was like I got to see him stick the landing now.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Right, Yes, you know, people's cars was locked in at
- 4:19Speaker 3: the fourth day. It was like they was a parking
- 4:23Speaker 3: lots close parking lost club. They was like trying to
- 4:28Speaker 3: lift the thing. Think about it. They probably closed at midnight.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Yeah, it was It's hard to even get like if
- 4:38Speaker 6: you had like a car service or uber whatever like
- 4:41Speaker 6: they it was hard for them to get back to you.
- 4:43Speaker 5: That was crazy.
- 4:44Speaker 3: And then other people was trying to get ubers because
- 4:46Speaker 3: they couldn't get their cars. It was like it was
- 4:48Speaker 3: it was nuts, and the whole city lost money because
- 4:52Speaker 3: all the after parties. The after party was at the
- 4:55Speaker 3: it was at the stadium, so then even after party.
- 5:00Speaker 3: So yeah, it was something else. Man.
- 5:02Speaker 2: If you ever been in a situation like that where
- 5:04Speaker 2: you are forced to put on the show of your
- 5:06Speaker 2: life because there's some type of delay or man.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had that happen where we was delayed weather
- 5:13Speaker 3: wise or people came in late and we had to wait.
- 5:16Speaker 3: And then when people wait around, you gotta like, you know,
- 5:20Speaker 3: really get him a show, you know, but yeah, yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 3: you have to go in. I think that's exactly what
- 5:25Speaker 3: he did. He was like, you know what, they've been
- 5:26Speaker 3: waiting around. I'm about to go crazy. And what do
- 5:29Speaker 3: you do in that situation?
- 5:30Speaker 4: Because that as a DJ, you hate that right when
- 5:33Speaker 4: when people are performing an artist is always late. Like
- 5:36Speaker 4: you got twenty minutes of DJ and you look at
- 5:39Speaker 4: the clock and you at twenty five, they look at thirty.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You are for hour and half.
- 5:44Speaker 3: They like, keep going, keep going.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Has that happened because you host?
- 5:49Speaker 3: You got you gotta keep going. You got to get
- 5:50Speaker 3: to people what they want, man, absolutely, And you kind
- 5:53Speaker 3: of feel for them too, you know what I'm saying.
- 5:55Speaker 3: They even sitting around waiting all this time. Man, you
- 5:57Speaker 3: got you gotta really go above and beyond or whatever.
- 6:00Speaker 3: But it don't really work at casinos though, sometimes, like
- 6:04Speaker 3: I do a lot of casinos and like people like
- 6:07Speaker 3: they lose their money and they wait, yeah, you go
- 6:10Speaker 3: up there. I'll be leaving. I do so bad. Sometimes
- 6:14Speaker 3: I leave on a whole other name. So yeah, i'd
- 6:17Speaker 3: like I'm Trevor. We'll never see Trevor.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You know, you know what the dressing about you?
- 6:28Speaker 2: People know you funny, right, But I'm not sure people
- 6:31Speaker 2: understand how serious you are about.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Being an actor.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you think being great.
- 6:36Speaker 2: At comedy has made people slower to recognize you as
- 6:39Speaker 2: a dramatic actor.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Oh. Man. The way that I look at acting, man,
- 6:44Speaker 3: it's like, if you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it,
- 6:46Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I'm not gonna just go be
- 6:48Speaker 3: a comedic actor.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Like.
- 6:50Speaker 3: I just feel like, if you're gonna act, you're gonna act.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Like like a beautician. Right, if you do black hair,
- 6:57Speaker 3: you you left some money on the table. If you're
- 7:00Speaker 3: gonna be a beautician, do hair, do white hair, do
- 7:04Speaker 3: Hispanic do hair.
- 7:05Speaker 5: There's beauticians that will only they don't. They don't. Yeah,
- 7:09Speaker 5: but do not leave.
- 7:10Speaker 6: I mean it depends on how you're doing whatever's in
- 7:12Speaker 6: that lane because they get money too.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I get that. But if I was a beautician, I
- 7:16Speaker 3: would do, I would learn how to do all hair.
- 7:19Speaker 3: So you mean to tell me you did.
- 7:20Speaker 1: You did.
- 7:21Speaker 3: You've been doing hair for thirty years, and you ain't.
- 7:23Speaker 3: In thirty years, you ain't learned how to do another.
- 7:27Speaker 5: A white girl blowout.
- 7:28Speaker 3: You in thirty years.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Like a couple blowouts.
- 7:32Speaker 6: But if you go to school to be a beautician,
- 7:34Speaker 6: you do learn like a lot of the concepts that
- 7:37Speaker 6: can go across all hair.
- 7:38Speaker 5: But most people it's like, you know, you grow up.
- 7:41Speaker 6: In the in the kitchen, and then you grow up
- 7:43Speaker 6: in the shop, so you just specialize in black people,
- 7:45Speaker 6: so you just stay were you see.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I don't think like that. I feel like, yo, if
- 7:49Speaker 3: it's if I'm gonna be a beautician, I'm gonna be
- 7:51Speaker 3: a beautician. I'm not gonna be a black beautician or
- 7:54Speaker 3: white beautician. I'm gonna be a beautician, and I'm gonna
- 7:56Speaker 3: learn how to go how to do hair all across
- 7:59Speaker 3: the table. Just like when they come to acting. I'm
- 8:01Speaker 3: not just gonna do comedy. I want to do drama.
- 8:04Speaker 3: I want to be vulnerable, I want to be funny,
- 8:07Speaker 3: I want to be ill, you know what I mean.
- 8:09Speaker 3: I want to play all these different characters and all
- 8:11Speaker 3: these movies that I've done characters in or whatever, they
- 8:15Speaker 3: all been different, you know what I mean.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Was it hard for you though, on the casting side
- 8:19Speaker 6: of it, for people to allow you to even audition
- 8:21Speaker 6: for the roles, be able to do that, because some
- 8:22Speaker 6: comedians feel like they're only able to get the roles
- 8:25Speaker 6: where they have to be funny.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta have opportunity, that's the thing, you know
- 8:29Speaker 3: what I mean. Somebody got to look at you and
- 8:32Speaker 3: see that you can. You got potential to do that,
- 8:35Speaker 3: you know what I mean, But they got to see
- 8:36Speaker 3: deeper than what you're showing them whatever. Like even with
- 8:40Speaker 3: James Samuel, I was the first guy that really was like, man,
- 8:44Speaker 3: come do this cowboy movie, and I think you can
- 8:46Speaker 3: be like super Ill. And it's because comedians, they harp,
- 8:51Speaker 3: are a lot of pain. You know. You can't go
- 8:53Speaker 3: on stage to talk about how amazing your motherfuck day is, right,
- 8:56Speaker 3: Ain't nobody laugh at that? So it comes from a
- 9:01Speaker 3: lot of jokes come from pain. But somebody got to
- 9:04Speaker 3: like tap in and go, yo, we see the pain
- 9:07Speaker 3: behind you know, we think you can pull this off.
- 9:10Speaker 3: And from that led to you know, other roles of
- 9:13Speaker 3: people being like, yo, you can do this, like you know,
- 9:16Speaker 3: Michael Color, Purple, you know, all these different average Joe,
- 9:22Speaker 3: but they can see me being something other than you know,
- 9:27Speaker 3: slipping on banana PILs.
- 9:28Speaker 2: It's crazy that comedians still have that stereotype though, because
- 9:31Speaker 2: you think about Jamie Fox and Ray, you think about
- 9:34Speaker 2: Monique and Rash, you think about Robin Williams, all dramatic
- 9:39Speaker 2: roles they played, White people would still have that stereotype
- 9:41Speaker 2: of comedians like they can't do that.
- 9:42Speaker 1: That's what I think.
- 9:43Speaker 3: I think. I think they they stereotype you like that,
- 9:47Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like even I remember when
- 9:49Speaker 3: Kevin did that one drama that was on that flip
- 9:54Speaker 3: Yeah no, not the caretaking when he did with Wesley Snipe.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yeah, we was shooting people.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Yeah, like yo, he really did a great job in that,
- 10:05Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But it's just I guess people,
- 10:07Speaker 3: don't I guess the powers that be be like, no,
- 10:09Speaker 3: we only want to see you this one way and
- 10:11Speaker 3: this one way only. But that's up to you to
- 10:13Speaker 3: be like no, no, I don't know if I really
- 10:16Speaker 3: want to do that. Then after Blackish, a lot of
- 10:19Speaker 3: people came to me with those Charlie Ish characters, and
- 10:24Speaker 3: I just was like, I want to just show something else,
- 10:27Speaker 3: because if I do that, I'm gonna keep doing that
- 10:29Speaker 3: and I'm gonna constantly keep doing it. But I wanted
- 10:31Speaker 3: to show like another side or whatever. And so you know,
- 10:34Speaker 3: the opportunity, somebody got to see you. Give you the opportunity.
- 10:37Speaker 3: And then did I hear in an MJ movie you
- 10:40Speaker 3: don King. Of course they said that you did it
- 10:42Speaker 3: after it was already rapped. Yeah, how did that happen? Man?
- 10:49Speaker 3: This is so. I was in Kate. I was in
- 10:52Speaker 3: Kate Town, South Africa, shooting, shooting, shooting Average Joe, and
- 10:56Speaker 3: I heard that they were shooting the movie and I
- 10:58Speaker 3: was just like, man, I was like, I want to
- 11:00Speaker 3: be in that so bad, you know. I was like,
- 11:03Speaker 3: I was like, but you know, Coban Domingo, that's my guy.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I was like, we're gonna support this. Antoine Food Quass,
- 11:09Speaker 3: my guy King, Graham King, all my people in there.
- 11:13Speaker 3: We're gonna support it anyway. And when I came back
- 11:16Speaker 3: from South Africa, I heard that they had to do
- 11:19Speaker 3: the third act over and I was like, while and
- 11:22Speaker 3: it was like for legal reasons whatever, and I was like,
- 11:25Speaker 3: I'm still not thinking nothing. But then man, I got
- 11:29Speaker 3: a call that was like, Yo, we need you no
- 11:33Speaker 3: Antoine Fuquar want you to come get down and play
- 11:37Speaker 3: play don King. And I was like, what, Like I
- 11:40Speaker 3: couldn't believe it because I ain't never heard of nothing
- 11:43Speaker 3: like that. They have to gather up another fifteen million
- 11:47Speaker 3: to shoot that third act, you know what I mean? Yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 3: and then everybody that was in the third act they
- 11:52Speaker 3: had to they they didn't make. They didn't make the movie.
- 11:56Speaker 3: They might make the sequel, I mean, I don't know,
- 11:58Speaker 3: but they didn't make they this first one, you know
- 12:01Speaker 3: what I mean. And so to redo it and bring
- 12:03Speaker 3: me in was like that was like a power of God,
- 12:07Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, how can you even
- 12:09Speaker 3: fathom that happening? You know what I mean? You wanted
- 12:12Speaker 3: something so bad, not to the point where I was tripping.
- 12:16Speaker 5: I just sat.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I said it out loud, you know what I mean.
- 12:19Speaker 3: And I was like, and that ain't even how I
- 12:22Speaker 3: manifest things. I manifest things backwards, you know, I say
- 12:25Speaker 3: I'm not gonna have nothing, and I'm not in lying.
- 12:32Speaker 1: I do it all the time.
- 12:33Speaker 3: I be like, she didn't like me, Like for real,
- 12:39Speaker 3: if you I manifest things like that, Like you ever
- 12:43Speaker 3: got like lose lea your phone out and you go
- 12:46Speaker 3: to the bathroom and the ring. Yes, so you'll be
- 12:49Speaker 3: in your mind, my mind, and it's gonna sound weird.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Stick with me in the universe. I go like this,
- 12:54Speaker 3: If I want my phone to ring, then I just
- 12:57Speaker 3: I won't bring it in the bathroom because I know
- 12:59Speaker 3: it's going right. Same thing. If I'm driving, Listen, listen,
- 13:03Speaker 3: I'm driving and I dropped my phone right and I
- 13:07Speaker 3: want to grab my phone. I'm gonna catch every green
- 13:10Speaker 3: light because the universe ain't gonna let me grab my phone.
- 13:16Speaker 5: The second one got me there, the first one I was.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Stick with me. So how about if I'm late somewhere,
- 13:22Speaker 3: how about if I put on my phone down, get
- 13:25Speaker 3: all the green lights. I'm gonna make all the green lights.
- 13:27Speaker 3: So I try to figure out how to make that
- 13:29Speaker 3: work for me.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Grab your phone in the university red light.
- 13:36Speaker 3: There we go. So if I throw my phone down,
- 13:38Speaker 3: I'm gonna catch all the green lights and then I'm
- 13:40Speaker 3: gonna make it to my place on time.
- 13:42Speaker 6: You think, God here, you be like, I ain't gonna
- 13:44Speaker 6: do it. He'd be like, let me just show you, yo.
- 13:46Speaker 3: I just think that they go opposite. Like, if you're
- 13:48Speaker 3: looking for a parking space, you ain't gonna find one, right,
- 13:51Speaker 3: But if you ride by your favorite store, it's gonna
- 13:54Speaker 3: be all the parking spaces in the world because you
- 13:56Speaker 3: wasn't even looking for one. You get what I'm mean.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Just like when you find your boyfriend or whatever, you
- 14:01Speaker 3: probably wasn't even looking for him, right. You know that
- 14:03Speaker 3: guy that told me, Yeah, the guy that cussed me
- 14:05Speaker 3: out that.

- 17:48Speaker 3: I know it was like that, and I.
- 17:50Speaker 5: Said, I don't think that that's on me. I think
- 17:52Speaker 5: if somebody is after after twelve, one of you miss
- 17:55Speaker 5: a little.
- 17:55Speaker 3: But if we're out at the roots picnic and I

- 17:59Speaker 3: I know you know what's popping, and I'm going but

- 18:14Speaker 1: Hit back. If you're going.

- 18:25Speaker 3: Well, we're here now.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Before you've called me late before.
- 18:34Speaker 6: I don't call Charlotte, but if I call you late
- 18:36Speaker 6: about something, I would literally say, hey, sorry for the late,
- 18:39Speaker 6: call you good, like, can you talk? Because even though
- 18:42Speaker 6: I know, like knows I work with y'alle, she knows
- 18:44Speaker 6: our relationship, it's just respecting.
- 18:46Speaker 5: It's late. I know you laid down.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Do you understand mine? If we completely thank you so
- 18:52Speaker 3: much anything.
- 18:53Speaker 5: That goes there.
- 18:55Speaker 3: I didn't know after one o'clock at a concert in
- 18:59Speaker 3: Philly that everybody's going to bed and everybody's sleeping.
- 19:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 19:04Speaker 3: I don't know you got a guy, So I'm going, hey,
- 19:06Speaker 3: what's happening, what's popping? That's it? And also with your guy.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Let your guy know. I like vintage pieces, you know,
- 19:13Speaker 3: like I only mess with women that text me good
- 19:16Speaker 3: night at six o'clock. Them the women I mess with
- 19:22Speaker 3: everybody know this, this is what it is. But let
- 19:24Speaker 3: your man know. I think he's a great guy. I
- 19:27Speaker 3: just don't, you know, I don't let him know that
- 19:29Speaker 3: I wasn't.
- 19:29Speaker 1: I wasn't on that you're Lauren l Rossa, You're the
- 19:32Speaker 1: entertainment was going on.
- 19:38Speaker 6: But I do think that every now and then it's
- 19:41Speaker 6: like because there have been circumstances where the hey you
- 19:44Speaker 6: is not about where you headed.
- 19:45Speaker 3: It's like, have I ever came off to.
- 19:49Speaker 5: Me like that?
- 19:49Speaker 6: But there have been other people who have also never
- 19:52Speaker 6: came off to me like that, And now it's like
- 19:55Speaker 6: like it's happening, Like those things do happen because he's.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Seeing you want to up.
- 20:01Speaker 1: We just said he wanted.
- 20:04Speaker 5: A month prior to that was about my mom. So,
- 20:07Speaker 5: but what did you?
- 20:08Speaker 3: What did you say about you? You was like my mom
- 20:10Speaker 3: wanted to say, hey.
- 20:11Speaker 5: My mom sent him a voice note she she loves R.
- 20:15Speaker 6: But I do think I think here here's what I'm gonnay,
- 20:19Speaker 6: then we should move on.
- 20:20Speaker 5: I do think that what I learned from.
- 20:24Speaker 6: This situation is I need to immediately follow up, like
- 20:27Speaker 6: what's going on?
- 20:28Speaker 5: Is news breaking?
- 20:29Speaker 1: Basically bam boom, simple as that.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Have you ever dated a woman Dionne who couldn't understand
- 20:35Speaker 2: your line of work? Yeah?
- 20:38Speaker 3: Absolutely they but they don't understand what's going on. I
- 20:42Speaker 3: don't know how to play their position whatever. I was
- 20:45Speaker 3: talking to Chris Rock, and Chris Rock said said he
- 20:49Speaker 3: let this girl. He left this girl alone because she
- 20:53Speaker 3: you know how to chat. He was like, you gotta
- 20:55Speaker 3: learn how to chat when I take you out, like socially,
- 21:02Speaker 3: you can't just be sitting in the corner.
- 21:04Speaker 2: It's like there chat just me and mugging everybody.
- 21:10Speaker 6: Like most guys like it when they bring like girls
- 21:12Speaker 6: around and the girls just like there for them and like,
- 21:14Speaker 6: don't like y'all love girls that don't say much.
- 21:17Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think a lot of men
- 21:19Speaker 3: like a me and woman, you know what I mean.
- 21:21Speaker 3: They want a woman that's like that's chilling and you know,
- 21:25Speaker 3: just like like not speaking and chilling and stuff like that.
- 21:29Speaker 3: You know. I think a lot of guys like that
- 21:31Speaker 3: getting yeah, yeah, like like you know, some some of
- 21:35Speaker 3: us you.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Know that is that is insecure though, but whatever, I don't.
- 21:42Speaker 6: Think it's insecure. I think you have to have boundaries.
- 21:45Speaker 6: Like I don't think there's anything about boundaries.
- 21:46Speaker 5: I think I think it's I think I was like that.
- 21:50Speaker 4: I was like that when I was younger, right, I
- 21:52Speaker 4: was very insecure to my wife. Right, But now it's
- 21:55Speaker 4: like we're in the industry, even even if on the
- 21:59Speaker 4: biggest not for him. Well, I think I'm saying, if
- 22:03Speaker 4: you take the way.
- 22:04Speaker 1: About it, yeah, I know you texted like that.
- 22:08Speaker 5: I think that I think the timeline up.
- 22:12Speaker 3: That way for something else.
- 22:13Speaker 5: The DM happened.
- 22:14Speaker 6: We literally are getting out in the car parking to
- 22:16Speaker 6: go into dang party and it boomed you right there.
- 22:19Speaker 6: So it's like you have but you didn't. We didn't
- 22:22Speaker 6: even have a conversation. I didn't know you even saw
- 22:25Speaker 6: me at.
- 22:25Speaker 5: The roots picknant exactly.
- 22:26Speaker 3: But I'm like, yo, what's popping?
- 22:28Speaker 1: What's what's going on?
- 22:29Speaker 3: But you never hit me back.
- 22:31Speaker 6: Just finding that middle point between like what is like,
- 22:34Speaker 6: all right, this is working. Uh, this may lead to
- 22:37Speaker 6: something else that's not work. That has been a new
- 22:40Speaker 6: area for me.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Okay. So have I ever came on and you have
- 22:44Speaker 3: a winked that you you have grabbed your shoulders? Hey girl,
- 22:48Speaker 3: I never.
- 22:49Speaker 5: Did know exactly, but he don't know that.
- 22:53Speaker 3: I get it, but don't nobody know that. He's knowing nothing.
- 22:57Speaker 3: I don't know nothing. I don't know he got your phone,
- 23:01Speaker 3: he's looking at it. I don't even know you got him.
- 23:03Speaker 3: I didn't even know you got him. I'm just hitting you,
- 23:06Speaker 3: like yo, what's popping?
- 23:07Speaker 5: But we're here now.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Yes, yes, we're here, and we're here to talk Average
- 23:10Speaker 3: Joe to scene.
- 23:12Speaker 2: And now I heard you say that the first season
- 23:16Speaker 2: of Average Joe was was difficult because you've never been
- 23:19Speaker 2: to lead before.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, being number one on the car sheet, man,
- 23:25Speaker 3: is it takes all your It takes everything. You can't DJ,
- 23:30Speaker 3: you can't do crimedy, you can't be hanging out, you
- 23:33Speaker 3: can't do nothing. You gotta you gotta be there, and
- 23:36Speaker 3: you gotta not only perform, but you also have to
- 23:39Speaker 3: make sure that everybody else is straight too, you know
- 23:41Speaker 3: what I mean. So it was very difficult being number
- 23:46Speaker 3: one on the sheet because I was still trying to
- 23:47Speaker 3: do everything else, and I was coming in and sleep
- 23:50Speaker 3: and tired, and so yeah, to make those adjustments, it
- 23:55Speaker 3: was something else.
- 23:55Speaker 1: So it's being the star more responsibility than privilege.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, way more responsibility because you ain't just dealing
- 24:03Speaker 3: with your problems. You're dealing with everybody's problems. You want
- 24:05Speaker 3: to make sure everybody's cool. You want to make sure
- 24:07Speaker 3: your cast is straight and that they you know, on
- 24:13Speaker 3: all cylinders when they performing or whatever. You know, so
- 24:15Speaker 3: you do what you can or whatever. And yeah, this
- 24:19Speaker 3: this season of Average Joe, I was able to I
- 24:22Speaker 3: was blessed to be executive producer on this or now
- 24:26Speaker 3: I'm even I can. I can help out even more
- 24:29Speaker 3: with people and whatever issue they have, you know, on
- 24:33Speaker 3: the show when we was when we were.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Shooting at that's even more responsibility. Now you got ownership
- 24:37Speaker 1: of what the show actually beheld me.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly. So yeah, it's just it's just making
- 24:43Speaker 3: sure if everybody comfortable, then we're gonna get the best results,
- 24:47Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
- 24:47Speaker 6: So why not when you're taking all that responsibility, why
- 24:51Speaker 6: not kind of like not do a lot of the
- 24:52Speaker 6: other stuff outside of that this.
- 24:55Speaker 3: With everything. Yeah, but I'm talking about the first season,
- 24:58Speaker 3: I was like trying to do everything thing, yeah, and
- 25:00Speaker 3: I couldn't. This season, I dedicated myself. We was all
- 25:05Speaker 3: the way in Cape Town, and I just I was
- 25:08Speaker 3: locked in and made it definitely about the show and
- 25:12Speaker 3: nothing else. And so it being in Cape Town helped too,
- 25:16Speaker 3: because we ain't know nothing. Yeah, we was away.
- 25:19Speaker 2: So it's carrying the whole show less fun because you
- 25:21Speaker 2: you the guy that will come in, steal some scenes
- 25:24Speaker 2: and be out.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Like, yeah that's how That's how I always did everything.
- 25:29Speaker 3: But yeah, now, but but the beauty about the average
- 25:33Speaker 3: Joe is that it don't fall on me like that.
- 25:35Speaker 3: You know, I got a wonderful cast, Malcolm Barrett, it
- 25:40Speaker 3: was funny as hell. Michael Trucco and Cynthia and Kay Williams.
- 25:45Speaker 3: They all are phenomenal actors, and you know, all of
- 25:50Speaker 3: that falls on them. I remember Tom Hanks saying this
- 25:52Speaker 3: one time and I added into my life. He was like,
- 25:55Speaker 3: I just sur around, he said, I was surround myself
- 25:58Speaker 3: around amazing people, and it makes me make it look
- 26:00Speaker 3: like I'm amazing. So that was basically what the you know,
- 26:04Speaker 3: what the formula was, you know, the grab these people
- 26:07Speaker 3: and be amazing and hopefully just hanging there with them
- 26:10Speaker 3: or whatever. So yeah, so, and and I appreciate everybody
- 26:14Speaker 3: watching watching the show too.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Man, what was the decision you made on average Joe
- 26:19Speaker 2: that that that that you was an actor wouldn't have
- 26:22Speaker 2: made Maybe you know ten years ago, learning.
- 26:25Speaker 3: That my problems the people watching the show don't know
- 26:30Speaker 3: about my problems, you know what I mean? That role
- 26:35Speaker 3: is your role when that camera's on, don't nobody care
- 26:38Speaker 3: about nothing else you got going on? And the first
- 26:41Speaker 3: season I thought that, you know, I got fired the
- 26:45Speaker 3: first season, the first the first day, first day what
- 26:50Speaker 3: but not showing up on time? Yeah, I went to
- 26:54Speaker 3: the wrong place and they gave me a rental card
- 26:57Speaker 3: and I'm like, if you wanted me there, you out
- 27:00Speaker 3: of car service, so you shouldn't be a blaming me.
- 27:03Speaker 3: So they was like you. They was like they was
- 27:05Speaker 3: getting to know me, and they was like, we don't
- 27:08Speaker 3: know if he gonna do this all the time. Is
- 27:09Speaker 3: he on drugs, on alcoholis let's just nip this in
- 27:13Speaker 3: the bud right now. They did that to me, I
- 27:16Speaker 3: was like, probably like an hour late, but I didn't
- 27:20Speaker 3: know where I was going. I went I went to
- 27:22Speaker 3: a to the to this other place rather than where
- 27:25Speaker 3: they was having the table reread, and I was like
- 27:27Speaker 3: across town. So it took like another hour to get
- 27:30Speaker 3: there and they and they had like the network on
- 27:33Speaker 3: zoom and there was a whole bunch of it. So
- 27:36Speaker 3: it was crazy, but I thought I was going to
- 27:38Speaker 3: the studio. I didn't know I was going to some
- 27:41Speaker 3: hotel that that they had, and so you know, they
- 27:44Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, nah, I think we should replace
- 27:46Speaker 3: some of whatever. So I was angry the whole first
- 27:50Speaker 3: five episodes average Joe, Like, I was like, how'd you
- 27:54Speaker 3: get it better?
- 27:54Speaker 1: They actually what I'm saying, They actually fired you.
- 27:56Speaker 3: And then man, so my people talk to they people
- 27:58Speaker 3: and they was like, yo, everybody relaxed, ess talk. They
- 28:02Speaker 3: was like, he know the lawns, you know everything, y'all
- 28:05Speaker 3: might as well just use him. He's not like that.
- 28:07Speaker 3: There was like we'll give him one more chance and
- 28:09Speaker 3: all this, and I was like, all right, So now
- 28:11Speaker 3: I'm now I got an attitude because I'm like, how
- 28:14Speaker 3: dare you get mad at me for not being here?
- 28:17Speaker 3: And now you tell me I got one more chance.
- 28:19Speaker 3: So every day on set, Dog, I would do my
- 28:21Speaker 3: scene and I would sit down and speak. I speak
- 28:25Speaker 3: to nobody, just chilling, arms folded, like not worried about
- 28:30Speaker 3: nobody's nothing, you know what I mean. And then around
- 28:33Speaker 3: that fifth episode, that's when I got that information, which is,
- 28:37Speaker 3: you know, they don't care what you how you feel you.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Know what I mean, You're doing your job.
- 28:43Speaker 3: That's all they want to do your job because that
- 28:45Speaker 3: camera and people watching this don't care. And you you're
- 28:49Speaker 3: looking crazy right now, So like, yo, like buckle down,
- 28:53Speaker 3: stop being emotional and get to work. So how do
- 28:56Speaker 3: you get over? How do you decide? Let me stop playing? Man?
- 28:59Speaker 3: I did just that. I just was like, man, I
- 29:01Speaker 3: just sat back and was like, let me focus on this.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Me being angry, I'm looking weird, I look like a princess,
- 29:07Speaker 3: and shit, let me just chill focus on this. And
- 29:11Speaker 3: I did, and and and and the rest of the
- 29:14Speaker 3: season became what it was. And then this season we
- 29:18Speaker 3: just in the pocket, we zoning out. Everybody comfortable. I'm
- 29:22Speaker 3: not dealing with a whole bunch of this. That and
- 29:24Speaker 3: the third I'm not worried about getting fired. And man,
- 29:28Speaker 3: we just are cylinders on this season.
- 29:31Speaker 5: It's the same behind the scenes team, like the same
- 29:33Speaker 5: creative team.
- 29:34Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, So they must have really like disrespected
- 29:36Speaker 6: you as talent to even give you those episodes to
- 29:39Speaker 6: grow through that, because most people would have been like
- 29:41Speaker 6: dealing with this.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Yeah nah, they but they knew that, you know, I
- 29:45Speaker 3: put in the work. You know what I mean and
- 29:47Speaker 3: that that I was. I was there to work, you know,
- 29:51Speaker 3: so they just put away their differences as well, and
- 29:55Speaker 3: we just came to an agreement or whatever.
- 29:57Speaker 6: You know.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Shout out to everybody that was involved in that. Shout
- 29:59Speaker 3: out to deb and Daylight and Corey and Robbing everybody. So, yeah,

- 43:11Speaker 3: not but making them feel like they can move on
- 43:14Speaker 3: and go on, you know. Dealing with that situation is
- 43:18Speaker 3: something that you know, I try to do now, you
- 43:20Speaker 3: know what I mean. Let people remind people. Let these
- 43:23Speaker 3: people that you mess live through your everyday life, you

- 46:25Speaker 3: you know. I'm like I got like ten Naacpo's two
- 46:29Speaker 3: Emmy nominations, like all these things, you know. And I've
- 46:32Speaker 3: been around for a while, wrote for late night television.
- 46:36Speaker 3: I've been on three syndicated TV shows. It's still airing,
- 46:42Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like it's people still be like, oh,

- 46:57Speaker 3: never end. You just keep on throwing and keep it going,
- 47:00Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like I member have flex
- 47:03Speaker 3: Alexander on on My Funny Knowing You show, right, and
- 47:07Speaker 3: he was talking about all this stuff he did and
- 47:11Speaker 3: nobody know him for nothing but that Michael and Michael did.
