  Speaker 10: No, that's three seasons, right, twenty two episodes the season.
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: How challenging was it starring and directing?
• 3:35
  Speaker 10: It wasn't necessarily a challenging I enjoyed that I was
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: busy the whole time. I liked that I didn't have
• 3:40
  Speaker 10: to take a break. So it was just a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: of fun. But I was really organized and honestly, you know,
• 3:45

  Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: We didn't have the money like that to do more days,

  Speaker 8: Those eighteen names to be able to call to get
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: advice from.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Like, man, I'm glad they picked the phone because everybody
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: don't pick up the phone.
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: I called a couple of people, ain't nobody answer, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 10: so shout out to Avan Sean and they like more
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: than help. Like Ava was on the phone with me
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: for hours just answering questions for me, and then Sean
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: same thing and sent like shot lists and stuff.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: He should have shot list of stranger things.
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: And I'm like, man, I don't want to know what's
• 4:27
  Speaker 10: going on because it was out yet, Like, man, hey,
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: can you send me some old stuff. I don't want to,
• 4:31
  Speaker 10: you know, I don't want to speak peak, but I
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: appreciate them, like really sitting on the phone talking with
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: me and helping me walk through that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask, you know what in this day
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and is everybody's into numbers, So what did it cost
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to actually get the project done?
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: One point five million?
• 4:43
  Speaker 10: One point we did for one point five and you
• 4:46
  Speaker 10: know it's that's not a lot. But he was able
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: to still get it done with all the VFX and
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: all those different things, and once again with them saying yes,
• 4:54
  Speaker 10: it was a big deal. And that's why I had
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: to make those calls personally, Honestly.
• 4:57
  Speaker 11: I think one point a lot, especially when you see
• 4:59
  Speaker 11: shit obsession. Obsession was done with a million.
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: Dollars seven hundred and fifty thousand. But I mean, like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: but think about that, like I've set like that's almost
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: in the same wheelhap some way to be honest with you,
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: And they was doing that with no name actors. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: had Tiffany Lows, who's you know, all these people like
• 5:16
  Speaker 10: tour and they have their real number. So most of
• 5:19
  Speaker 10: that stuff, you know, they was lucky case they got
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: people who did they didn't know like that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: I still I called my friends.
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: So at one point five could be one person's I mean,
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: heep my price per movie.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: So right, Yeah, so we got a lot done with that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Was it hard to raise that money?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yes and no.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: The thing about indies is like as soon as they
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: write to check, you gotta go, which is crazy, right
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: you kind of be sitting there waiting on them to
• 5:42
  Speaker 10: send the money. You kind of like so they ready yet,
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: But soon as the money come in, like, okay, let's go.
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: And so you just have to move so much more faster,
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: which is why, like I was very admirt on being
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: really organized.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: So once we got the yes is and the okays
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: and let's go with it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 11: Because people assume just because you're little real right folks
• 5:58
  Speaker 11: who just.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Hand you money, here, go do a move.
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: Not to direct too, because you know, we don't get
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: a lot of black directors who get like first time
• 6:05
  Speaker 10: opportunities for real, unless you've been doing this a long time.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: So and Ava says something to me is powerful.
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: It's like, real, look, you really should lean into like
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: being that guy as far as comedy goes directing, because
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: it's not a lot of people who's just especially black directors,
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: who just say I'm gonna just be the comedy guy,
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: and I really want to be that because comedy goes
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: into so many categories.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: You have comedy, horror around comes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: So I'm looking to be the guy comedically as a
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: director that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: You go to.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: What was the most difficult thing? Was it the budgeting
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: or was it It.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Wasn't that it was It wasn't nothing too difficult.
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: It was more or less about me being able to
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: be in character and direct and so kind of going
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: in because I like to usually dive into a character
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: and become it. But I had to kind of get
• 6:48
  Speaker 10: out a lot of the times to direct it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: To somebody, usually God, you know, because it's hard to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: guid yourself right because they could see something that you
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: might not be able to see, like you might see
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: those through some people like now do it this way,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: try this, But for yourself it's like, how do I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: tell myself what to do differently?
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: Or well that's why you get a good a d
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: And shout out to Vanner James.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: She was a huge help. And I got her from.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Movie movie inclined people what that is?
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: What's a ad assistant director?
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: There you go?
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: And she was amazing And I got her from Unexpected Christmas,
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: like you know the movie. When I came up with Tabanil,
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: I just was watching her on set and was like, damgn,
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: I like the way she do this. And as soon
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: as we got this movie, I was like, yo, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: know who my ad is and it's Vanna.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: How do you write for Los? Those Low's wanted? You know, Loads?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: He's a quick improviser, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: how do you write for Los?
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: He's brilliant? I mean like you just adjust. So every
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: day I would take that script home and rewrite based
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: off stuff. I seen him do a Tiffany do or
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: Badge do or Tony whoever. But Carlos was giving us
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: so much. It's like, I mean, that's the type of
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: director I want to be too. It's like I want
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: to adjust to what they give me. I don't want
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: to be married to anything. And Loas was just coming
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: off the head and honestly.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Messing with me.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: Who I'm forty six at this point, I don't care
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: about the pulse coming.
• 8:15
  Speaker 13: Mean, if he's coming off the head, oh god, yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 13: Jesus sat up.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Job.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I was about you care out on esp.
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: The way he just got that and his lingo now
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: is the craziest thing, Like he could keep talking like
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: your pulse.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, But then the Knicks got it. I'm like what,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: I don't know when the pulse happens. Everybody keep doing
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: that to me. I'm old, man.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much.
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: Of your lines was improvised though, because even if he
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: can keep coming back with the script writing, you're gonna always.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: Think, you know, you always thinking, you're always going.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: How much?
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I just know that see what
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: he did. He had a great formula like we would
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: do you know, on the paper. We would try to
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: get as much as that down and then he was
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: just like all right.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Y'all, y'all just run something or we'll just run something.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: And that was that was the the biggest factor for
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: me to be able to just get it out and
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: then like, okay, now we can work, you know what
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, because you're always thinking of stuff like on
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: the fly or anticipating the line, like what would I
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: do in this situation?
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: And you got all this stuff to work.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: So I was trying to at least get the paper
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: out the way, you know, get like one clean shot,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: and then I knew he would let me go in
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: and do you.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Know, do my thing.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: So what was the band between you and Tiffany? Because
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: she can keep going too, man, Tiffany.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Is a lot like like she from the time she
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: gets there and it's like she's not faking it. In
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: the morning, she dancing, she's singing, She got everybody on
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: the cans doing yoga. One morning, she's throwing away the bacon.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: The next morning she got it on this green juice.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: I'm like, man, but it was really dope working with her.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Man and you know, me and Bad we go way back,
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: wild'ing out, So we always had a lot of banter
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: and back and forth. It was dope to just get
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: to work with all these different comedians and then you
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: know real he playing the straight dude most of the time,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: so it's like.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Trying to get him to break out of his character.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Because he was more serious on his So I don't
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: understand that he used to playing gay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: No, you don't know what comedy straight guy, the guy who's.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: You know, interviews interview all types of actors and you
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: heard that devote.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: He's why he has got you.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: It was more serious.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: I wanted him to play gay ribers so bad stupid.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: YEA, How was it hard for you those thing inside
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the SCRIPTO?
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: Because I see a lot of comedy, especially you, because
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: you know you do improv all the time on podcast
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: on stage.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Was it hard being in the script?
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: No, because I actually worked with an acting coach. Man.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: I gotta give a shout out to my acting coach,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: mister Larry B. Scott.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: And if you don't know who that is, that is
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: the black dude levard from Revenge of the Nerds. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: he's one of the acting coaches. And shout out to
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Tasha Smith acting academy, who sent me up with Larry.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: And he showed me how to actually play a script,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: like to go from a comedian where you're on the
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: stage by yourself and showing me like, okay, you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: I know you're a comedian and you want to get
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: some jokes off, but if time him right, it'll have
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: a longer lasting effect. So he showed me how to
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: set it up and like okay, just wait on it,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: sit on it. This is right here, right here. They
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: left you this line so you can go right here.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: So he was showing me how to pick the spots
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: and get the timing right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Jordan Hill wasn't a resource for you, bro, but I.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Feel like I wish.
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: I think he was probably busy, But like I said,
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: I did hit up whoever I can hit up, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: it's about who kind of responded back right away, so
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: like once again avan Seine did. But like honestly Ryan
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: and Jordan from a distance is inspiring. And then like
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: even like Rob Ryan a rest in Peace. I just
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: I like directors. You could tell that the actors really
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: liked It's because and that's what I learned from Jordan too.
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: It's like giving the actor's space to do their thing
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: and find their legs in it. Which is why like
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: I didn't mind doing you know, rewrites every night because
• 12:18
  Speaker 10: I want to adjust to what they were giving me.
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, Because it feel like a
• 12:21
  Speaker 11: get out moment right, Like that was Jordan's directorial debut,
• 12:24
  Speaker 11: if I'm not mistake, yeah yeah right, and then you
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: know he found somebody like you that was like your
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: first big break in the film. Even though we've known
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: Lost all of the time, it feels like this could
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: be breakout role in the film.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: It's crazy because it's like about time.
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: Right, and when we were me and carl re who's
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: the writer, when we were looking through the script and
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: doing so, I couldn't I only thought about Carlos.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: I'm like we gotta get Carlos Millers and.
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: I've seen them like on stage, and like, I know
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: Carlos who years is Like I was always wondering why
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: he hasn't gotten that, and I've seen, like I think
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: I said before, but I've seen him do cameos and
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: other stuff, and I'm like, why is he doing a cameo?
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: Why he not one of the main Did.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: They offer that to it? Like why wouldn't y'all get him?
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: So it's we haven't seen this in a long time
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: where like you break out, like you know, Cube did
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: that with Friday, you know what I'm saying, And so
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: like even with just him and putting like Tony Baker
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: in this and uh Tara Terry who's from Chicago, couple
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: Detroit comedias, Joe Blunt, Martini Harris.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I wanted to do something again that we see stand
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: up comedians shine as actors.
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, And that's one of the reasons even bringing Batch
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: in Tiffany, it was very important to like not cast
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: just comedic actors, stand up comics that could act.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Don't you feel like that's the breakout for you?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: I think?
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: So I had a ball doing this movie, and I
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: forget to give you all, a range of emotions, a
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: little serious evil.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: He shard some tears, he got some sincere moments like
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: I can't.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Imagine crying, so I can't.
• 14:00
  Speaker 14: He likes somebody I rocked so Hardy was cracking, like
• 14:08
  Speaker 14: you know, it's a scene where he does get a
• 14:10
  Speaker 14: bow sho and like I remember shooting at and everybody's
• 14:12
  Speaker 14: like I remember being in the scene.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: With him, like I had wanted her to come down, Like, because.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy.
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: I love how serious he takes he took this and
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, I feel like Carlos Spriby is
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: the honestly one of the most underrated comedians and right now,
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: right that's one of the hottest right now. People absolutely
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: love him, which is well, like, dude, this was a
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: perfect vehicle to have Carlos just shine.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You feel like it's underreaded. That's a good question.
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: You feel like it's.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: Unapproved, just like you said, just the people who've been
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: waiting on me to have these moments, you know what
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. There has been little stuff here and there,
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: but I don't feel like they've got to see me
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: in a full capacity. Actually, you know, not just pop
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: up say something funny and dip out like the actually
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: see me like structure a character and be like a
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: feature actually in the movie.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: It's been a lot of.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: People who be like, man, when you're gonna do this, man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: And it just it doesn't work like that. And He'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: tell you when you're going from stand up comedy to
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: doing movies, you gotta be just as diligent with the
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: with the movie game as you are with the stand up.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: So it takes a lot to just get to that
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: level and for people to be seriously considering you for
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: stuff like that other than the comedy relief.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, I.
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: Wonder would make somebody underrated because like the people who know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 11: no like Carlo is one of the best out here.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but that don't know.
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: I think it's even when people know, like people across
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: the board will know, but you're not getting the looks.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: That we do.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: But it's it's the conversation.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's the part of it too.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: The problem is, and I've never said this, and I
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: was just talking to a comic about this recently, it
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: feels like our group was skipped by the ogs, right
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: how they crazing Drew Ski and saying, you know, Chris Rock,
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: I'm giving Drew Ski the key, you know the stuff.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Like, how y'all skip us? That did all all this
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: stuff a good point?
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: And nobody consider it's none of us when y'all start
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: talking top ten, all of us has been consistent and
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: stand up and in the other stuff, y'all just skip us.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: I agree, that's weird.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Who's that era?
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: Okay, a far south? Who else was in that little
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: real Jeff, I'll put just in there? Who else is
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: in that?
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: I mean for a minute, yet.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: It's quite a few of us, man, when you think
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: about it, and it's just.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: It's just but it's weird.
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: We just just skipped over like it was more or
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: less being competitive with us.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: Do you feel like y'all were very early on the
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: social media side of it and there was like they
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: were still trying to figure out they even liked what
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: y'all were doing, because I think now they've had to
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: accept it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: But there's y'all.
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: Remember y'all used to get a lot of pushback by
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: comedians like that's not comedy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Well that wasn't, but he did Jamie Fox's laugh for Loser.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: As you face it. Yeah, that's that's how long we've
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: been doing that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: So even with that, right, like you just boxed us
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: into because Carlos where he did was figure out how
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: to do both.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying we're all.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: From like for real, who got jokes, last come extent
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: all that stuff, And I'm saying, like it was, it's been.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: A weird thing. Yeah, and then.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: Like you almost don't get praised that you figured we
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: figured it out to do both.
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: I just think we were almost too close to them,
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: and so it's always been competitive. But like I was
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: just thinking about this other day, I'm like watching everybody
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: like Crown everybody, and I'm like, damn, y'all just go
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: skip us, y'all.
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: Still, I think the times changed too.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I think it wasn't cool to give people props back then, right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I think people stayed in their own lane. But now
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: it seemed like true, it's more comfortable and more cool
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: to do it. Like before I would never see another
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: community be like I really really like him said town
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: was more like f with him.
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: Said did that we remember what saying before the check
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: all stars he did start line up and he had
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: Duvall and BINGI and all those guys and then went
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: to start lineup.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: That's how, like said the said, got into this o
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: GS that was like comfortable being like, these are the
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: next guys.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: That was one of the first people I heard Stamp
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: eighty five.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: So it's a group to me that just decided, you know, yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: we're gonna let you eat, but we ain't gonna give
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: you all props.
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: I think it was too new when y'all was doing it,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: so they didn't understand. They didn't understand the podcast world.
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: The didn't understand social media, but.
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: Now they understand what somebody but now they get it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And so now they're like, okay, yeah, Drew Ski.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but it's more than that, Like how many of
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: us like think about this Not to talk about me,
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: but like I've been in more than one OSCAR nominated
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: movie talk about stand up comics that did that. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: had my own sitcom on Fox based off my stand
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: up material that I was talk about. I've done several specials,
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: so it's like, how do you skip that and be
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: like oh, it's like no, that's weird, And so like
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: that's why like for me and I think about leaving,
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: like Carlos and even like an Ali Sadik, who's doing something.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: But we're all from that group.
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and so instead of stamping anything, y'all just competed
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: and skipped.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: Who's thee.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they made us work for hours dollars for a dollar,
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Like we didn't get. They didn't get you go on
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: the road with the ogs or be somebody's open up.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: You know. They made us grind.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: From open mic to hosting the night, to hitting the
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: road to not being a feature and going straight to
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: it being a headline. And then, like I said, that
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: take a lot of work, so you don't have the
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: leisure to just go and do all these other auditions
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that, because it would take just as
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: long to build a movie career as it does is
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: a stand up career. So we definitely got skipped with
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: a lot of the opportunities. We ain't get the guest
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: spots in the feature roles and you know what I mean,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: the little pop ins in the movies.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: They made us work for everything.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Even the late night shows, like you would always see
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: comedians on late night shows, and I felt like and then.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: We came up in an era too where it's like
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: look at the like the the guys a couple of
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: years ahead of us. They got to do all the videos,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: they got to be on everybody's album, they got you
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: know what I mean, we didn't get all that. We
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: had to really just grind it out and make our
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: own ways.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: That what's interesting to you could tell it got really
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: competitive among them, and I think sometimes they feel like
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: we kind of snuck in in a way, right, Like
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: I think that's why, Like I'll never understand.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: I mean, and I promise I don't have to bring
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: this more.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: But it's just like the whole thing with like cats
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: sneaked this in me all the time. And it's like, bro,
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: like at the end of the day, I looked up
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: to you and respected you, so you're mad at me
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: for being successful. So then you're gonna make up ship
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: and just say stuff like you know what, this dude
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: taught me the CBA one day.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: I'm like, we're in the same movie. He called me the.
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: CBA, So I'm the NBA Little Rails of the cbath.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: One of them days. In the trailer.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Lead with you damn move it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: They can't mention your name without mentioning it by.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: You go to Netflix. He clicked on it. Gets you name.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: You say, little real Cat Williams, like we all, why
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: are you talking to the dam? It's like, gee, but
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying it just felt like.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: It's more competitive with us instead of just like and
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: I guess I never cared about being embraced, but then
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: you do get embraced by Like That's why I love
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: d Ray so much because de Ray love and uh,
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: I think.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: keV is too. keV does it. keV looked out for
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: a lot of people in different ways and stuff. So
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: it's just you know, but it's but it is this
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: thing where I'm seeing.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Them praise these guys more and with us it's kind
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: of like a quiet I'll shoot you a text, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: I ain't gonna say it out loud.
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I love that that you do, Like
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: you gave Thows breakout role, even you did that with
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: me and real like you you always see talent that
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: you know that nobody not nobody, but like that's not
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: necessarily getting the recognition that they deserve. And you put
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: the want a bigger platform and you take them under
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: your wing and you go ahead and go out there
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: and show them yourself.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: That's all I know.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: How to do is just like Meg Griffin had, Bro,
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry, it's a snap back to No, it's not
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: snap back.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: It's not bad.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: No, it's not, it's not.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That's not a bunch of colors.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: The nixt trash can't have one of them, Morning.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Said, shut uploads. So specific, you're gonna lean.
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: Over here talk about Yeah positive checks is hitting that way,
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: you got a bonus, but to be positive, damn mag Griff.
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: What what's the most expensive lesson you learn making this movie?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That that that no film school could teach you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Bro, It's just, you know, one of the things we
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: had to get smart with.
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: And it was something I thought about really early, was
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: because of our budget, you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Could write some very ambitious things.
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: But if you don't have a real VFX budget to
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: do all those things, you got to start thinking practical.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: And so that's what I love about my crew.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: You know, even when we was in pre production, my
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: biggest thing was like, y'all, how can we.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: Do this as a practical thing?
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: And so it makes you go back and watch old movies,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: like in Citi's a lot of the old horror things,
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: and you see the practical things they did because a
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: lot of this stuff you know, back then then they
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: didn't rely on special effects.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Or even just gore.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: It was just it was the right tone with the
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: music and the right you know what I mean, And
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: so like even with Jason just it was just the
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: right thing and the right nighte thing. So it's just
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: you know, learning how to do things practical and keeping
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: that within the budget. And then with the VFX, which
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: we end up having a great VFX team, they was
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: able to do some stuff with what we were working with.
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: Could you study them old movies?
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I watched I watched everything in Citios, I watched
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: Nightmare on m Street. You'll see things here like and
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: this thing. I'm making fun of horror films in this movie. Basically,
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: that's what this icets is me picking on horror film
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: because people we want you to take horror films really serious.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: I hate when they be like this is this is
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: gonna be scary. You watch it like it's pretty hysterical.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: I don't know if it's scary, but it was just
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: really making those decisions to make sure like that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: And that's why I'm exact because I did study v
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: and right now I'm even more like I watched this
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: now like, dang, this is my first thing, but now
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: I'm even better than I was this time. So like
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: even the next thing I'm working on, which I can't
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: wait to tell y'all, And shoot, that's as a big
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: deal and it's a love letter to my family. So
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: I'm working on this limited series that I wrote and directed.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: So did you cast for yet?
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: Now I'm casting it out. That's great?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Did you have enough experience with Jess.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Against Jess was great?
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: Just just you are. Tartary, who's in Hunting Heist down
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: to me, had two of.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: The best self takes self tapes.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, like she's self.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: She literally when just self taped to herself for real,
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: she was it was nobody else reading off camera with her,
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: and she was reacting if somebody was reading. It was
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: the craziest thing ever watched. And me and Gerra was like,
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: damn it just a good self tape, you know. And
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: so I always appreciate that you did an amazing job.
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: And shout out to Tara terry t who's in our film.
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: She did a great job.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Chicago as well.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: Right, sorry, yeah, yourself, nobody it was just it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: Was literally her and that we would be a drive
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: to rewatch it like she is, she by herself. It's
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: like a ghost in it, like it was you were
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: just because you were delivering the line as if somebody
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: was talking to you, Like I've never seen nobody do
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: it that way, and it was so good.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I still do that. Just let you know. You
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: always you always on my list.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: You know what's harder today getting people to laugh? Or
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: our building ownership?
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: What's harder?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you've been one of the biggest comic brands independently.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's definitely harder than getting people to laugh. Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: because it's.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: A lot that goes into it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Man, It's a lot of things that you think you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: and sometimes you can kind of get it right, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: it'll be right long enough until you find out that
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: it's not right, you know what I'm saying. And then
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: you need a network of people to like behind you
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: who're trying to build the same thing. Like I call
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Charlemagne all the time and ask some business stuff and
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: you know, just trying to see what the next level
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: looking like. Or I'll see him out with somebody, or
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: he'll be at something with some books and I'm like,
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: what the book people talking about or to see Envy
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: with the car show, and I'm like, Envy, what's the
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: ins and outs of this?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: So it's always one of those things.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Where you have to constantly keep building and then getting
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: input from your team because you know that the game changes.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Seem like every couple of days it's a new advancement
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: in the game, or somebody broke through to the other side,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: or somebody went somewhere and got a big check that
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: you never expected them to go get, and you just
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: got to stay diligent and stay in the loop. So
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: I think it's definitely harder than just making people laugh.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: You can sit it, don't take it long to come
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: up with some new material. But when you're trying to
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: do something that ain't never been done and trying to
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: explain it to people who ain't never seen it done, that's.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: Where it can get difficult.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: I saw Lex and Drea talk about how you were
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: like their first guests, like you help them and put
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: them on with their podcast, yeah, and talk about making
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: people laugh, like a lot of people got podcast mics,
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: but it's not working out for everybody, Like you see
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: how their ascension is happening right now. When you're looking
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: for talent or looking at talent, Like, what's the biggest
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: thing outside of it's being able to make somebody look
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: at you, Like, what's impact for me?
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: I hate the criticism of they like take the podcast
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: mics away. I think all black people need the podcasts
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: because we are literally like two hundred years behind in
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: communication with each other. I feel like, even if you
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: don't agree with somebody's perspective, that doesn't mean that they
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: got to shut up. But we need stuff to be
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: subjective enough where we can have opinions and somebody can
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: man if.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: They're fact they don't have to be a lot of
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of people what I'm saying right here.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: We don't criticize other coaches for what they got going on,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: whether it's factual or not. You really just sit here
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: and watch five seasons of House of Dragons. All that
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: ship is made up and.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. We just always to.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Limit ourselves to and that's why we don't have ship.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, because sometimes when people say it can
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: actually hurt, hurt people's brands, hurt what people do when.
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: It's lies and other coaches.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's a lot of times it's less forgiven
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: but people, let's say, you know, Charlemagne is gay, right, and.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: For years beds.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: People y'all said that sometimes when people lying it's not factual,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: it can hurt somebody's brand.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: You got somebody to check it. The game still need referees.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: But what I'm saying, though, is like, like you to.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Go back to the original, is we do need these platforms,
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: whether it's a bunch of lives or some bullshit or not.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, we still got a lot of catching up
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: But when I'm looking for something, I was like, if
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: I was at a chick house and this was on
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: what I make, what I want to change it, or
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: wheld there be something that would like the bad chicks
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: would be watching, Like think about it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: They used some good looking women.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: They're not overly, you know what I mean, doing too
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: much of one thing and in one.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: Spot, and they sell tickets and the bad to come
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: out and hang with them. These are the type of
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: chicks that all all.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: The women got, They all the gods want to beat them.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: It just makes sense.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: So it's like I don't have the million dollars to give, y'all,
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: but I do have the platform, and I feel like
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: if we put you'all in front of enough people, you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: gonna be able to do organically grow your own thing,
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: which is exactly what happened.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: You can't take credit for nothing that they did. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: just I saw.
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: Having the eye definitely of the eye because eighty together
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: Navreen absolutely right.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: So I be around dope people, you know what I'm saying,
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, if people can see it and see
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: the dopeness that I see, it's gonna work.
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: That's that's actually too what made me want to work
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: with him because you're watching it from a distance and
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: you're like, Dan Los get it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: Once again, I believe that it is an interesting class
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: of us. And I brought Ali up too, that I've
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: watched do this thing and actually done it quietly.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: You never heard any of us be like you know
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: what I mean?
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: Like you know, I hear other some of the guys
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: before us, they can't wait to tell everybody to put on.
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: I ain't never listed everybody I got who got a
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: sad car because I put him on my sitcom. If
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: you look at the gang of comics who've never been
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: on like literally is a gang of thement.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: It's about Rito Jle like random people.
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: Earthquake, Like I was getting all types of people and
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: even we have friends of the people to Catch series.
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: We did the same thing with that, Like I think
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: at the time it's crazy, like.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: That's crazy friends. He was underrated to when you think
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: about everybody.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: That can from man look at like you know.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: So it's just like we.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: It's always been very intentional and you want to connect
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: with people who's doing the same thing. And I think
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: that's what you're about to see in the second like
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: some of us start to collaborate because even with them
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: like eighty find South movie to me has to happen.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: So it's like now I'm like trying to put my

  Speaker 3: Bio I'm talking about, you know, when people are spewing
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: facts news, when people as reporting news allows some of
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: them just bullshit.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: We can't bullshit a little bit and rage people.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: It's like both sides need to be loud.
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: Like I think a lot of times the bullshit is
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: louder then absolutely, because.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: The bullshit is more entertaining, That's what I'm saying. Guess
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: it's just pretty entertainment.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertainment.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: But we got listen to We got the people that
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: we selected for the truth.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: We listened to Lauren when she come with the facts.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Just with the mess shot.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Now, you were very vocal recently about the Carmelo Anthony case.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: What made you want to speak on that case in particular?
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: Man, it's it's heartbreaking, you know, it's this blurred line
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: of what like this this the self defense thing that
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: was weird to me, Like I never heard self defense
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: by shooting somebody in the back.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: M hmm.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: That's not attacking you and you get off with self
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: defense and you know, even just what was going on
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: with Nolan, well, it's just a lot going on.
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: I forgot what kids was that?
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: Jesus, that's the truth, though, Jesus, that's where we're at now.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry every ray is like the situation because because
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: even with that, like that was just weird, where like
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: you got this video and you could tell that he
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: was scared, like I'm from the hood.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: If somebody threatened you with a weapon, you usually lead
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: them alone.
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: And to me, that comes with some type of privilege
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: where you still like, yeah, I don't care what you
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: do to me because I know whatever I'm gonna do
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: is what it is. And you know, I just also
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: feel bad for these parents who kind of think putting
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: their kids into certain environments and certain schools that they safe.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: You think about that because you get you know, you
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: make gett money for a long time.
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: You married, I'm sure you're thinking about that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: I mean, I mean, I got you know, yeah, but
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: they they're in high school and they go to these schools.
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: But it's very real conversations you have to have, Like
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: I like recently with Judah, I was like, you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: he wanted to hang out with some of his football
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: friends and I'm just like, what's the.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Who who in the group? Who's the linebackers?
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Seriously?
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: Is it one or two black ones with you?
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: I'm serious, right, I know, I know that sounds crazy,
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: but that's just where I'm at with it, because you
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: just want them to feel safe. I think a lot
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: of times, you know, black people thought, you know, going
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: to the suburbs and doing this and doing that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: But just we're watching this stuff unraveling.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: Away, and that thirty five years they gave Carmelo Anthony
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: was insane and even just a young man who got
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: like shot in the back and just with no it's just.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Talking about Delaware.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: All I think I've all meted.
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: Everything feels the same to me, and it's like heartbreaking,
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: and you know, and with me, I've been very vocal
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: about it, just because you know, at the end of
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: the day, you know, I muld still do things that
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: entertain people because I know people need it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: You can't sit in this all day, Like I can't.
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: I have to watch movies and stuff like that to
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: give me a second. But at the same time, it's like, man,
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: this is it's like rewatchingmit.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Till it's like it's crazy that this is happening in
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty six. Yeah, and it's scary.
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: What about you, lok I know your son played basketball.
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you also to our person that's doing very well
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: for himself, Like where are you at with that?
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: It's terrifying as a father, especially you know they cause
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: it's like you don't want to stop them from living
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: their life. It's certain things that you want them to
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: experience in high school to be able to go to
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: a party or you know, go out to eat with
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: friends and stuff like that. But then it's like when
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: they come to you and they asking you, hey, my
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: friend just signed to go to college. Man, he having
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: a commitment party. Can we can we go to the
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: commitment party? But then you start having these flashbacks in
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: your mind and you start thinking like, yes, it's a
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: nice neighborhood, but they just shot up a nice neighborhood
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: for some high school kids. So these are in Atlanta,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: they got these things called takeovers where hundreds them there,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: thousands of kids just show up in flash mob and
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: take over and tear up ship. And then the police
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: is saying, we got zero tolerance from this, and if we.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Catch the kids outside, the parents going to jail.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: And then you're seeing the murders and you're seeing that
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: the people who doing this stuff is not being prosecuted
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: or hell to no kind of standard that make you
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: just be like, no, stay home, I know you safe
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: here with me.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: And you know, as black people is, if something happened,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: they gonna.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Always look at us like it was supposed to happen,
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: or we deserved it, or we could never be the victims.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: You know, we were gonna.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Trial for our own murders and stuff like that. It
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: just make you really recalibrate the systems in the society
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: that we living in. And it's like, no, I don't
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: I don't want you outside, but you can't be so overbearing.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: That you're not allowing the kids.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: That's what's crazy about it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: We know in a strange position as a.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Parent, Well, Nola's Paris says something.
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: That's that's I think it. It just hurts because it's
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: like he's like, he's friendly, and now you have to
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: warn your kid also about like, hey, don't be cool
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: with everybody because everybody ain't your friends. It's just and
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: you want them to be able to hang out with
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: different cultures and different people. And it's just it's we
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: in a weird time where we're like, Okay, we thought.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Things was improving, it really hasn't.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Like you was just saying, though, it's like you don't
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: you know that you raised your kids a certain way
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: and it's not that you're thinking that they're gonna go
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: out and do something, but you don't want nothing, nobody.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: To come and do nothing to them.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: That's scary, especially like you have, you know, a notoriety
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: or people know your name or you know, they can
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: associate your parents like oh well they got it like
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: that or.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: You put them in a position where, you know, the
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: less fortunate kids might look at them a certain way that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Envy them more.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: You feel like, you know what I mean, like they
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: stunned up something like that. It's it's real strange, man,
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: it's a strange position to be in.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: You posted a video you were talking about this stuff.
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: Also you talk Carmela Anthony, but then you start talking
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: about jokes and how people say like jokes are escapism,
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: and it was like following all the Kabin Heart Roast
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: stuff and you were saying that we need.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: To not let people play in our faces.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and we had.
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: There was some dialogue surrounding your video, people pushing back
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: at some of the things that you said, but also
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: agreeing when it came to the jokes at the at
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: the roast. Somewhere from this conversation, you were upset about
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: the George Floyd joke because you said that it leads
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: to things like racism in our kids being put in danger.
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it just makes it look.
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: We always talk about freedom of speech, right, that is
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: what everybody's argument is, Like comedy is freedom of speech,
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: and it is, but both sides is freedom of speech.
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: You could do the joke and I can say I
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: don't like it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: all part of freedom of speech. And I think like
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: the roast was just crazy and I was white. I
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: was shooting a movie and so I couldn't come. I
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: was invited, and so we were like I had a
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: late rap and then I had to rewatching the roast
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: and I was just laying in bed like what the.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Heck is this? Because it was also kind of weird,
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: where like.
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: We don't have to give platforms the people that don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: fuck with us, Like I'm not inviting somebody to my
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: party that I know that that's gonna say some crazy
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: shit that I don't want said on my ship, And
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: I think what bother me the most?
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: If I could be really honest, it was just.
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: I you know, y'all went to the funeral and you
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: hugged that family and you jumped in front of the
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: cameras and you said all this stuff and how things
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: gotta change and we're gonna be there for y'all if
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: you need anything. And he sat there and let that
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: dude say that shit with no repercussions to it. And
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: I'm not saying you gotta go up there and still
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: on them or anything. I was just shocked. Ain't nobody
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: checked this nigga?
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: Nah?
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Not really comedically kind of did.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: It was still it was still a nigga where you
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: can still get your ass beat.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but it was she was talking to the group
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: of them.
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: I think it was a way to say, hey, you
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: and you, this is fucked up, and I I think
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: it still stayed. I think she said it enough where
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: like it didn't offend the wrong people or felt whatever.
• 40:06
  Speaker 10: I think I think somebody should have said something because
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: it wasn't even just That's like, even when he was
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: paying the camera to people.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: It wasn't just the comics. It was people that was
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: It was a lot of people at.
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: That roast that was also at George Floyd's funeral, and
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: nobody said shit, that was crazy to me. And I
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: don't care about like I love roast, you know what
• 40:25
  Speaker 10: I'm saying. I look at somebody like Don Rickles, who's
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: a great roaster, and he'll say some edgy shit like that,
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: but at the end he will always show love to
• 40:34
  Speaker 10: Sammy or whoever talk about how much he loved him,
• 40:37
  Speaker 10: which is why, like I think, if you know, if
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: I ever do a roast, it's only gonna be people
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: there that fuck with me. Yeah, and I don't care
• 40:44
  Speaker 10: about the numbers, you know what I'm saying. I just
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: I just felt bad for that. I just thought that
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: was just weird. And Tony could say whatever, he won't.
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: I don't listen to that fucking podcast.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Well what do y'all say as comedians?
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: Won't get your take on this about do comedians have
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: a different license than everybody else to say what they think?
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: You could just say what the fuck you want?
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: Just you know, you're standing up, yeah, stand on it.
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: And that's look at the end of the day, Like
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: Tony stamps, he like, hey man, I don't give a funk.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: I said what I said. Same thing with Shane. They're like, yeah,
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: we going.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: To the White House for the UFC match. We don't
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: give a fuck, this's what we do.
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: And so I'm just saying we need the same fearlessness
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: and standing up for our ship and our.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: People, like we they cool with being fearless.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's not gonna affect them in the loan run.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it and they own people are
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: not gonna try to take their head off.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: Well, there we go.
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: But but it only happens when you don't say ship
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: you literally position jo.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: Like if I say, if I had Tony.
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: Hitchclif from my ship, it'll be a set up because
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: I know he's gonna say some bullshit. I'm like, oh
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: good now I'm about to tell all the white people
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: what I feel, perfectly.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: Racist motherfuckers. Here you go, here we go.
• 41:50
  Speaker 10: And so like, that's how I would set that ship
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: up because it gives me opportunity, like, oh, this is
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: a perfect platform to see how I really feel. Here
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: we are, So like, I just think we can stand
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: up and say things too, because you know, I.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: Not like that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: And because there's two things I didn't like that people
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: was talking shit about keV in a way were like
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: they got mad at him. To me, he ain't funny
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: and all that shit, which I'm like, come on, y'all,
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: y'all made this dude who he is and now he
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: ain't funny because you don't like that, you know, the
• 42:16
  Speaker 10: way he react to this, I'm gon'ta do that shit.
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: But at the same time, it's like, how big do
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: you have to be before you know that? You already
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: who you are, So why you ain't gonna say shit?
• 42:25
  Speaker 10: You do whatever you want. When I saw Tom Brady
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: stand up for his fucking coach or I mean the owner, yeah, so.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: Somebody could stand up and say some shit, they won't do,
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 42:36
  Speaker 10: I just think about you know, George's daughter and she's
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: wondering like cause and I saw that was weird too,
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: like dude, like it's so many other fucking jokes to
• 42:48
  Speaker 10: tell about the guy that's.
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: Sitting there, yeah, George, for nothing to do with it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: It was just weird.
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: And once again I just think we it's because I
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: have comics, say, you know, because it's a lot of
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: I got pushed back from other comedians.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like comics have a different license than everybody.
• 43:08
  Speaker 10: But then but then I get talked about it as
• 43:10
  Speaker 10: if I'm not a real comic because blah blah blah.
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: But like that's why I love too, Like you know,
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: I'm like way more successful than most of yut from.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Standing about write a joke and a joke I always
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: do well.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: As you think the comics have a different license.
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: Than everybody, they definitely don't have a different license.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: But just like if you take the count like you're saying,
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: you take the title comedian away from it. Yeah, you
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: still got the freedom of speech, but you don't have
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: the freedom of the consequences. You get what I'm saying. No,
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: you have to be prepared for whatever comes with that.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: You can go on there. You you definitely can say
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: whatever you want to, but you definitely can't say ship
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: or Steven Jackson.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: On your ass.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: That's right, when the people who love George Floyd is
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: on your ass, or when you come to these their
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: city and try to do your show with you got
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: seven angry black dudes sitting on the front road. We
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: don't want to hear nothing about what you talk about
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: the night. They want to talk about what you said
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: on that one thing. So you definitely have to be
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: careful what you say. But you have the freedom to
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: say it, but you don't have the freedom of consequence.
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: That roast was interesting. That's that roast was a game.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand the dynamic of it. I didn't.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: I ain't never seen Kevin Hard and Tony Henscliff in
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: the same place before. When did they become such good friends?
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: You get what I'm saying. And like some people, I
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: feel like was organically there and then I feel like
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: some people work for Netflix, I feel.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Have been more black def comedy.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: Jam Yeah, I think it was an opportunity to like
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: show how we roast. Like to this day, the best
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: black roast we saw was the one that shot put together.
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: I think, uh, when Jamie Fox with like that, But
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: that's that's what I wanted. I was hoping that we
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: was gonna get. It's like, bro, you have an opportunity
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: where like, if you wanted to bring in the guys,
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: the Joe Tories, it wouldn't even make like you are
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: who you are.
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: It would have been fucking phenomenal to see that ship.
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: Matter of fact, if you had Cat come bring everybody
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: kept talked about what if that was the.
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: That would have been fucking crazy.
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: But instead we get people talking about you being lynched
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: on the bund side, right, And the.
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: Crazy thing is that's not the only time he's done
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: that joke. He's done it a couple of times. But
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: remember got in a lot of trouble for doing those
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: type of jokes on to kill Tony and then he
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: did uh, then he did he went viral from doing
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: uh George Floyd jokes on at.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: The end problem. It was a big thing about that.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: So I feel like they know that that's a hot trigger,
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean, topic to do because he's
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: done that joke on a couple of different roads, and
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: then for him to do it on the Kevin Hart joke,
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: it was bad taste, it was unnecessary, but he did
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: know that it was gonna be a lot of backlash
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: that came with that. So I felt like he worked
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: it in because he knew it was gonna be one
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: of those things that people kept talking about that wasn't
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: even a good joke.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: It's got to be a real consequence.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: There's no real consequence, and to get everybody talking about
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: him and then what like a week later, he drops
• 46:19
  Speaker 9: a special.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Special.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: Special He was like, where the joke's about the little
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: people with the little hat. He knew not to do
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: that because they knew they that would have been off limits.
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: So somebody is telling him, hey, you do all of
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: these kind of jokes. But if you do one of these,
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: so they know exactly what to say and who to
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: say it to it when and where to say it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's why timing is everything, man, you know what
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: I mean, like you, And that's why I was saying,
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: like you gotta like it's okay to say something man,
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: just like b Like like if we was at a
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: comedy club and I saw him doing that ship, I
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: would have pulled him to the side, like brother, fuck that,
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: that's fucked up.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Somebody got to send
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: the family a check too. It's too much money being
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: generated them kids got to hear them, folks talk about
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: their daddy and their mom and they untaid. The family
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: is still hurting. It's one of them things that you know,
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: it's never gonna heal. So every time somebody bring that
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: up and they get crazy like that they got.
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: We can't just chalk that up to be in comedy either.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: I hate send some money to the family.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: You can't be making money off them people paying and
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: then you don't call nothing nothing And I never I'm.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Not in like I got a doctor's a human boy.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Tragic death like when people died tragically like that. You
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: gotta draw the line.
• 47:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, man, wait, look think about this. How many I
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: ain't never really heard though, jo F. Kennedy, Doctor King
• 47:43
  Speaker 10: Malcolm x A sat like Omega Evers jokes about that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: You had one.
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: I mean, but brother, that's only you. I've never heard it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: But I was actually talking about how people are going
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: to the way people revise history nowadays and the way
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: people try to you know.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Change history. They would they would talk about that in
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: a different way.
• 48:01
  Speaker 10: That's different though, But that's different from like literally you're
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: tying in somebody can't breathe with like and say they
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: in hell like that that was That's not like it's
• 48:12
  Speaker 10: just weird. And to me, it's one of those things
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: where like, you know, we were like black people, you
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: just want us to stand up more. I think that's
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: how we we show up to our ancestors and not
• 48:24
  Speaker 10: checking these motherfuckers.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: When they got to bring back violence, yeah, you know,
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: like like physical somebody. It should have been a kerfuffle,
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: like some backstage camera should have gotten knocked over.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, y'all can't do that here, y'all cut that out.
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we should have heard a beef with Netflix is
• 48:42
  Speaker 10: went off, cut off like a man.
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: You'll be right back to the camera.
• 48:55
  Speaker 11: But it's funny though, because people are tired of safe comedy.
• 48:58
  Speaker 11: I ain't talking about that, just about in general, people
• 49:00
  Speaker 11: are tired of save comedy, right, So so where's the
• 49:03
  Speaker 11: balance And everybody's also afraid of being canceled? But then
• 49:06
  Speaker 11: the audience is saying it.
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: To be funny, Just be funny. That's that's what that's
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: actually what's been missing the whole time.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: This ship ain't been jokes.
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: Either's a ted talk or just be funny, make it funny.
• 49:20
  Speaker 10: I bring up Don Rickles like that, like he would
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: go there, like he would go there.
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: But he was so damn funny.
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: You can say it's a joke. It's under the guys
• 49:31
  Speaker 11: of a joke. Nowadays, people just turn the camera on
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: or get on the podcast, go.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: Crazy, stand on it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Don't act like you don't know what you're doing either,
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Like when you play oblivious, that that make it look
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: weak as hell.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: He knew what you was doing. You've been practicing. You
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: wrote that, you look.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Hard, you knew what she was doing backstage?
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: Like he so suret.
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: No conscious.
• 50:06
  Speaker 10: I think black comics feel like we have to apologize
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: with stuff all the time.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: We just need the same opportunities day, dude, just throw
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: throw a random black person on one of them roast
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: and let us go out there and make us some
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk jokes and all of that.
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: Do it call me all right, I mean.
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: For the community and yeah right, I.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: Just need with me. What do you do? What do
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: you do? It was a joke. I need y'all to
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: be just as oblivious and bag my bullsh it up
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: black they do. That's right.
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: That's why I love about eighty five South. Like they raw.
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: They raw, yeah, like they don't give a like. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: that's what I'm saying. Like those comics do exist.
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: It's just weird once again, where like I feel like
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: certain guys are just passing people.
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: I think people would have got too damn corporate jesus.
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: I see I seen Raw take a shot at y'all,
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: DC Young Fly.
• 51:01

• 51:04
  Speaker 5: There was no beef.

  Speaker 11: What's something acting in this horror comedy taught you that
• 56:15
  Speaker 11: stand up or the podcast and couldn't.
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: What's something that I learned working in this movie that
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: the movie world is completely different than the stand up world.
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: When you on stage by yourself, you got free range,
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: you can you can be on your own time. And
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: when you're part of a cast or ensemble, you gotta
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: play your part. Like the better you play your part,
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: the better it makes you look, because you don't want
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: to go into a situation like just trying to.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: Do like I'm gonna do it for me, I'm gonna
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: make me look good.
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: It looks better when you know how to be a
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: team player and you know how to play your role,
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: especially if you give it the right diligence and put
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: the right time in and build a chemistry with the cast,
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: it makes all the days of a whole lot easier.
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: And if you're just going in like just self like,
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: focus on yourself.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: So I learned that just shut the ball. I knew
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: that already, but in a different capacity.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: What success looked like for you, bro?
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: For this film, it's honestly people showing up to the
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: to the movie theaters. You know, it's an indeed.
• 57:20
  Speaker 10: And I was able to get this movie and all
• 57:23
  Speaker 10: these only all these screens, and you know, I want
• 57:25
  Speaker 10: to do what the Obsession did. And for me, it's like,
• 57:28
  Speaker 10: what does that look like for a black independent artist?
• 57:31
  Speaker 10: And success is just people.
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Going out and see it.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Man, Like if we can.
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: We don't need to do one hundred million nothing like that,
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: but like I mean, we could.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like breaking even. But I don't want
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: to overthink it.
• 57:47
  Speaker 10: But I just want people to support because y'all, you know,
• 57:49
