• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this is work.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: When I was in that club and I saw my
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: career flash before my eyes because I realized there was
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: no way we're gonna be able to.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Get back in time.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I had that moment because I'm sitting there the at
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: keV and I realized we're not gonna make it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And keV looks at me, he goes, well, we tried,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: We tried.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: That was remember in Usual Suspects when he realized that
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: k was sitting in front the whole time.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I looked at Kevin Hart and I realized it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: He had convinced me, the producer and director of the movie,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: to get on a jet with him, so that when
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Universal called and said, why are y'all over budget and
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: not able to finish the movie? And they say, well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Kevin Hart, Will Packer and Tim's story were there, so
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: the producer went with him.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: It would be on me. I was complicit. I realized
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: that was his evil plan all in along.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: You called him a diabolical rascal, spawn of Satan.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: That's true. I love him, but that's truer words never spoken, sir.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: I will ask you and your listeners, what is a
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: life without a great story. It's something that can't be
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: talked about.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It's untold.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: A life without stories is nothing you need fucking stories,
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: good and the bad.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He's bitching about a great story. And by the way
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that story did.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: What amplified our relationship? And look at where we are
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: now fright night, we're talking about something else that we're
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: yet in business and we produced and developed together.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Do we get here without that moment?
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: No?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: We do not. So why did you still want to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: be his friend after that? After you figured that out?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You could have said, you know what, this relationship no
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: longer happens.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Need it to envy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I'm so afraid that if I leave Kevin Harts Like
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: he'll just get close right he just burn up on
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: the spot.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I just don't know what he did.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: With It's close to being over.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It brought you to that work so well, because even
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: like just here with you guys in person, it's like
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I could I could listen to this back.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Of a fall day long really talk with each other's
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: most frequent collaborators.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Kept done a ton of movies. I've done a ton
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of movies, TV projects.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: We haven't worked with anybody else more than we work
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: with each other.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I'll give it. I'll give will of this on.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Air and half of it is because I'm still drunk
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: and by the way of.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Some of the best fucking to kill it in the market.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: He's kind of commercial, but it's.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Just a time to let people know move taste. And
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: it comes to it. You got to understand what and.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Why Grand Cormino is that and has been that, which
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: is why I drink it at the level that I do.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: But it's not about that right now. It's not about
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: the product. It's about the passion. Let's get to that
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: and we'll toast it that after with Grand Cormino.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But I would say this is about Will.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: I don't say it enough if people don't understand it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: and I think they should. Uh, I don't get to
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: where I got in career or business without the information
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: and relationship of Will Packer, you know what I mean.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Like when it came to producing and when it came
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: to development, or it came to packaging, Will Packer is
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: the guy that was the definition of what that was.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So from the early days of think.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Like a man, he was the producer that came to
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: me and said, Hey, I got this thing, I want
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: to do this thing, and I think you're the guy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: And those are words. Words without action are just that
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: he put action behind the words. Everything he said he
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: would do he did. He got the people he wrangered, wrangled,
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: the directors, the actors, the actresses, the producer partners, writers, etc.
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: He can figured a way to formulate and activate. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: I was like, goddamn man, like, how do you do that?
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: And he taught me. Will taught me how to do it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: And as I progressed, I never forgot who he was
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: and what he was. So our relationship today is based
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: off of never forget, like you don't you don't forget
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: the real side of like success attached to just care.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: He gave a fuck about me, then he gives more
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: fuck about me. Now in return, I doubled down on
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: my level of give a fuck about him.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't I don't want to win if I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: can't figure out a way to win with my brothers.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: So the commitment that we made was, hey, man, let's
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: figure out a way to continue all though keV you're
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: doing and you have, but how do we still do?
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: And I love the fact that we still are, uh,
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: and we're committed to figure out more ways to do more.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: And what you're seeing today is a definition of what
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: we want people to follow through with like, we are
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: no egos. We are help your brother so he can
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: help you. We are that And I think it's the
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: best story in Hollywood if people were more privy to
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: how deep and like in depth it actually.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Is facts, right.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: The Fight Night TV show, right, it shows these characters
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: operating within a black world where they all hold power.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: So to your point, keV, how effective has that concept
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: been for you both in the world of Hollywood.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I think I think it hasn't been effective enough. And
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: I think you know when you look at the ice
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: cube and Kevin Hart of it all or the middle
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: common denominator packering. All right, guys, let's do this, but
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: let's make it and cube come in and like, there's
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: always a through line of connectivity and that person has
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: to be willing to go above and beyond. Fin Night
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: is the definition of going above and beyond, all right, keV.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: I got this idea. The idea came after I was
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: supposed to do Uptown Saturday Night. Uptown Saturday Night was
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: going to be me and Chadwick Boseman rest in Peace
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: to the legend himself.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Fuck, oh my god, I had no idea. Well, I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to do this anymore.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I can't do that without Chadwick. That project is dead.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: To me.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Will had the actual rights, the original story, the true story.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: So Will came to me. I said, well, I can't
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: do a comedy because of this. Can it be serious?
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Can we do it in a way to where it's
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: like a lot deeper raw real? He said, Kevin, absolutely, Hey,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: the podcast was points me to the podcast that he
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: was a part of, that understood, etc. All right, shit,
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: this is like real information now.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Real knowledge. Will. I'm a fuck with it because of you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: But let's make sure that we try to go above
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: and beyond to package it correctly.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: How do we do a premium.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: A premium cultural piece of IP that has the bandwidth
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: to live forever? And you can't do that with our
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: big stars. To get big stars, you need real relationships.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: So the leverage of understanding that we both shared and
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: that we had at the top of get the studio's commitment,
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: get the studio to back and support, then go get
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: the talent.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: My guy was a big part of all of that conversation,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: and I followed the lead of most and I think
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: where we were collaborative was dope as fuck and the
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: outcome was amazing. Talent configuration and now an example of
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: what the business should follow through with, which is collaboration. Collaboration,
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: you can win more together, you win less as an individual.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: How do you put yourself in a position to collaborate more?
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: So if we can be the example of hopefully most
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: will follow through and hopefully we can do more. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: people will say, oh, that's great because they do dope shit,
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: and here's an example of it. Do some dope shit
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: with them. That's where I'm at in my career now.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: I could care less about the individual star of Kevin Hart.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: I'm looking for the moments. I'm looking for the IP
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: and I'm looking for the evergreen like material. You can't
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: do that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: That part is true.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: I will tell you that, Like Kevi's definitely reached a
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: part in his career, a moment in his career where
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: you know you've had success and it's like, how do
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: you grow? How do you work with people that you respect,
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: and how do you build a machine that then empowers others.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It's interest in Charlotte Mayne, you talked about like the
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: world of fight Night.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Fight Night is really about a.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Group of hustlers, dreamers, entrepreneurs who are trying to take
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Atlanta and turn it into something. It's back in nineteen seventy, right,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Martin Luther King had just been.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Shot a couple of years earlier.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Atlanta was like seen as a small country town that
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: you know, had a couple of civil rights folks. Like
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: people didn't know if it was going to be the
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: next Charlotte or Birmingham, and nothing wrong in those cities,
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: but it definitely wasn't looked at on the level of
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: global superpower or New York, Chicago, La. You know, it
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: was Atlanta and it was not respected. But you had
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: a group of folks, which is not unlike how Black
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Hollywood is right now, where you got a group of
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: dreamers trying to figure out how do we work together now.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Of course in Fight Night, you got you know, a
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: character who's Kevin's character. He's a hustler.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: He's going YO, give me a shot, give me a chance.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I can just turn it Lanta into something great. Chicken Man,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Chicken Man.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Weirdly, Sam Jackson, who plays the big gangster the Black
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Godfather in the show, he actually also got a dream too, right,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: even though he's a big gangster.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: He's running black mafia.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: His dream is saying, you know what, the white man's
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: been holding me down for a very long time. If
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: y'all give me a shot and an opportunity, I can
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: take over Atland. I could turn it Land into a
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: black mecca. Oddly, even though like Kevin, Sam's characters are
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: odds for most of the series, the reality is that
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: they have the same kind of a dream. That's kind
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: of how it is right now in terms of like
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: folks like us in Hollywood in real life, who are
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: all trying.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: To work together.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Is it true that Samuel Jackson was really there in
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Atlanta or right there?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Dog he was at more House sham old as fuck.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I would have said like that.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: I remember we were We're on a call with Sam
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: at the start of with Sam said like, yo, he
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: liked it, he would do it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: We were on a call.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: We're going through the materials seeing with Sam said about
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: the character, sims. Yeah, man, y'all got to change a
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: lot of the ship because more happened then.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we got the story, you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Know, because we you know, the podcast and everything.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: We got the real information. Motherfucker. I was there. What
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: do you mean by that? Mother happened?
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: He's very adamant about telling you where he was, what
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: he knows. So the story of fight night got better.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: It got so much better as we went on. Oh
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: my god, she is the best by the way, you
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: and me, I mean since the joke with the little Mike,
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: we have never left that stage.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You're the best.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Uh walking on?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: She gave out much answer them all this right here,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: got hear whatever? This right here? I need Greece.

• 18:10
  Speaker 7: everything I got to try to always makes it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's gonna fall off to.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Did you did you see your you know? We fish?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Look at this man? I mean and is that cha?
• 18:31

  Speaker 7: On the scale will as far as cap size.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Because he'd small photo having you crazy?
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: He just told that story. Story is one thousand percent accurate.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: For the listeners, if you guys, go watch Don't Funk
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: This Up, which is a document to documentary documented on
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: that documentary on Netflix about when I went through like
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: some of my worst times in the business and the
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: things that I was juggling during the duration of that time,
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: you'll see me and Chadwick actively meeting about uptown Saturday night,
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Me and Chadwick before before us going to the final stages,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: we wanted to make sure that we were on the
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: same page with the characters, the story, and the development.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: And Chadwick was an active producer in it. He had
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: his partners there. You'll see it, and don't funk this up.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: So the fact that y'all got a mural right with him,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: with keV Hart and Chadwick and then Sam Jackson, who
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: he ended up making that same project with, that's insane.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: That's insane, you know what, man, And and I don't
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: do this often, but I'm going to drink a shot
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: of Grand Cormino to that.

  Speaker 2: It's a moment.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: It's a moment of understanding. It's a moment of understanding,
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: and it's a moment of celebration. Man, that right there
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: is celebratory.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And I just want to take a shot to get let's.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Do we all need to shot you? And you and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: come on, you said that your feet didn't touch the ground.
• 20:07

• 20:38
  Speaker 6: you what I.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Didn't, and this is why, like you guys are the
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: example of what you don't want to be.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: It's over your culture.
• 20:45

• 21:39
  Speaker 3: This is not whine, This is not Jesus. Can't turn

• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Don't you want to do live?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Don't look at mister impulse. Let me see I never
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: him one.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Look at that, yo, real, I take care of that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You don't know what you do to me every day.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Take him down.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I didn't pour him a shot, so he ain't taking
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: nothing right.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Really, I'm saying as punishment shot you don't like I do.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Like my brother is working man. All right, I'm with you. Listen.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: You talked about the big person out.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: That's that is the hardest part of the job as
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: a producer, you know what I mean? And in real talk,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: it's it's aesome when you got somebody like keV who
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: gets it, who understands at.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: The end of the day with the bigger pictures. But
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Times, o'kay, if it's you know Hollywood music, you know
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: stock market, whatever it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Is people say, you say, hit right on air, Can.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Said, So you argue with kem though, because he seems
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: like he's a lot.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: The least problem that you ever.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: Have in any work environment, that's unproblematic.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: He's a problem.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: The challenge with Kevin is that he will overdo things right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: He would do things like have a show a massive
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: square garden at the same time that we have a
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: big scene in our movie. Now, he's definitely he's not
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: He's not a moderation guy, you know what I mean,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: that's part of the chance. That's why I'm here on
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: the breakfast club. You're eating this this turkey sayingwich trying
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: to get some grease in his cut.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: It didn't burn you at least let it cool a
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: little bit. Come on, animal, this is what I needed.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: This is what Hollywood. I can't take him.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: The phenomenal job is Chicken Man, but I can't take
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: him serious and dramas because it just always seems.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Like always jokes. But can't tell you something real talk.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Chicken Man is his best work yet I'm not telling you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: You look at what he's doing with his eyes, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: you know a lot of people, you know, it's known
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: that comedians. They pulled from pain, right, and that's how
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: they deflect, and that's where a lot of the comedy
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: comes from.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Kevin no exception.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: But the reality is that when he said we gotta
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: do this as a drama, that was a big risk
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: because people say, all right, fight not Kevin Hart starring there,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: let's go. I'm ready to laugh, like you said, Charlotte Main.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: But the reality is that this is serious. Now you
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: have moments of levity, but the tone make no mistake
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: is dramatic, like it goes there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: I don't want to sound like an asshole, but this
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: may sound asshole ish, right, it may sound asshole.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: You gave it to him.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: It's a big jump to the audience that watches of
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: what a talent is doing. If you're not used to it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: A talent knows what's in their fucking bag. You know
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: what you can wrang well, you know who you can call,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: you know what you can package and do. The operation
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: at task to drama is project based. You give me
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: a great project, and in the project, I'm supposed to
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: be serious and I'm supposed to have a cadence of
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: and it is such a great piece of material that
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: I choose to do. I'll do it the best of
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: my ability. That's called the talent. That's a talent choice
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: in the town's decision, it's what are you What are
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: you fucking factoring in to you making the decision. I'm
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: not doing it in an environment where it won't be cool,
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: collective and fucking like dope. If I can't work with
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: great people, I can't work with great directors, great producers,
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: great writers, then I don't want to do it. I'm
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: at a point in my life where it's about having
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: a good time. This project is relationship based. Every aspect
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: of this project is formulated off a relationship.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: That's really by the way, everybody said that too. Sorry,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: I was just gonna say because cast stunk, Like a
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: lot of people ask, oh, with that cast, you had
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: to back up the truck, right, And by.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: The way, you do right.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: These folks deserve you know, and I'm very proud of
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: the fact that you know, as a black producer the business,
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I definitely take care of folks that look like us
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: and make sure that I paid them on par with
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: their counterparts and their peers. But Kevin's absolutely right. You
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: don't do a show like this unless you want to, right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Sam Jackson is not doing it for the check, right,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: and Don Chetuo's not doing it because he's available. They
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: do it because they want to work with certain people
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: because it's subject matter that speaks to them, and that
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: is very, very important. And the other thing, you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Charlotte Mane, you brought a good point that I want
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: to just hit on real quick in terms of like
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: the egos and all of that. You got to make
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: sure that everybody understands that the ultimate goal is everybody's goals.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Because once people start thinking, Okay, this is for me,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: and I got to be focused on my own goal
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: and not the greater good, then you will never win.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: You got to get people to working as a team.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: That's why as a producer you're like a coach, you're
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: like a general manager. You got to get everybody to
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: understand that their goals aligned with your goals. By the way,
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: that is true in any industry, not just Hollywood.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: But you also need, respectfully, you also need you need
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: a collaborative figure at the top to say, I'm gonna
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: make sure that no matter what I'm I'm on a
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: layer and level where everybody can understand they were all
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: the same like I'm not coming into a project on
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: my dick on the table. For lack of a better word,
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: I'm not.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all know what I am. I don't do that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm about the greater good for all.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: So I come in head in hand, and I bow
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: down to all talent on the set because I'm so
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: grateful that the talent is fucking choosing to do whatever
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: the project is that I'm a part of. So for
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Sam Jackson, I bow down. Goddamn legend, you should get
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: the respect that you deserve. Don Cheetle, I bow down Toaji.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: I bowed downward. I mean, listen, I mean.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Place. Kevin Hart is down. We call it down woman, right,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: she is his right hand.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: She is also his mistress, and so there is a
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: scene worded better well, she's a down.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: What I'm saying is I have no problem with being equal,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: and I think, once again, I'm gonna I'm gonna highlight
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: this as much as I possibly can. That's the version
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: of the example that I want to get out there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: I want the collaborative side of our culture connecting. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: want us to understand we are so much better together.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: I want us understand the premium factor of us doing
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: things together is so much better than the individual trying
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: to be one.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You challenge yourself to do things outside of this comedy said,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't want this comedic role. I want this
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: serious role. Do you challenge yourself or do you just
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: take roles that come?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: None of it is a challenge.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: By the way I'm developing the things that I do.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Nothing is coming to me. I'm creating the things, or
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: I'm a part of the process of how it gets
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: to the final stages. I'm at that point. But I
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: have no desire for the star of Kevin Hart to
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: get bigger. I don't give a fuck's that's.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So gone and done with.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: I'm more about the success of others, the success of
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: the entity, the success of the brand, and more importantly,
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: the success of what we represent and what we can
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: look back and say we did. That's bigger now than
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: a conversation of myself.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I did it. I'm done. What else am I going
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: to do? At this points? To go in two minutes five?
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Actually we got to geo. I want to I want
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to have both of them do this well.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: They're hard to find someone to play Muhammad Ali and
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: did you ever consider Will Smith?
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Very very challenging, right, And I think that you got
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: to understand, you know, obviously that's an icon.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: He's been portrayed before. Uh.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: For us, it was about finding a newcomer that wouldn't
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: pull you out because these other characters you didn't know.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Nobody knew Chicken Man Kevin Hart's character, or or Vivian
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: to Rja's character, or Frank Moulton, you know Sam's character, but.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: You know everybody knows Muhammad Ali.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: So I think to have somebody in that role who
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: you had some familiarity with and who you associated with
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: something else would have pulled you out. And we really
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: wanted to immerse you even with these big stars. We
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: really wanted to take you to a time period right
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: fifty years ago and really drop you in and be
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: as authentic as possible. And we've paid a lot of
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: attention to the detail and the nuances.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: To try to get this thing right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, come on, man, this cast and by the way,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: not just the big names that you know, like Oh Dexter,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Dark Dexter, You're gonna be hearing a lot from him.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: There's some young gunners in this cast that you're gonna
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: be hearing that. I predict you're gonna look back and
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: go Yo. Remember when so and so went toe to
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: toed with with Kevin Hard and Sam Jackson. Yes, Melvin Gregg,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Miles Bullet, Koe Bailey does her thing, yet Lloyd Harvey
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: jumps in the future.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife said that.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think that's lad because you
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: look so different.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Yes, but I think I think that you're you're singing
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: amazing and example of baton passing.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: You're you're looking.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: At people that are established, have been established for so long,
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: and Sam and Taraji and Terrence and Don and then
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: you also have the second tier of talent that is
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: a valuable piece of this puzzle where they're toe to
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: toe with the big names and you don't blink an eye.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: You understand why everybody is there, and you respect the
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: talent on screen.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And you still respect the story. You're never taken outside
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: of the story.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: So I think that for that younger generation that we
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: were able to on board, it's a great example of
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: what we want to do. We want to be the
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: example for the next generation, the bridge. We want to
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: be the example for global success for or the new
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: star that popped on. If we're part of those stories,
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: how dope is that? Like, that's the biggest side of
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: the conversation of.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: On Reese a celest Jalen Hall. These are names. You
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: gonna know your age.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I got a zoo zooming here.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I'll be like you were. You can't mean.
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: What I'm.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Telling you.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Why I mean it's like this have actually age, You're
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: going back on a big start actual age.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Now, well, I don't know if you know you don't
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: kicked me out of one show. He kicked you out
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: of it. You had your phone kick me out. They
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: threw me out.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: And as they're throwing me out, I'm yelling, cav is
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: me because I know what you can buy.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: That's why we should have kicked you out.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Brother, Come on, that's the Hampston family and kids.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes you gotta check your phone to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: make sure you're good to.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Show you knew. Come on, I gotta I gotta side
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: with ca on this, brother, Come on, man.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Come into a common is an intentative environment.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: And by the way, my acting my age tour, it's
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: a very dope fucking thing going on right now. It's
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: a premium ticket with a dope experience and in that
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: experience for an hour and a half.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Check out check out a last.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Did you see it was in me? Did you know
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: it was him? I'm saying.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: What I'm saying to you is people people killed me,
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Like when you act as if rules don't exist for
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: a dope reason. Phones are a bad experience. Phones are
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: taking over the intimate appeal of.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Life and lifestyle.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Like your phone has checked you out of every experience,
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: or the concerts.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: People watch the concert through the phone.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: You're looking at the concert for an artist that's trying
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: to put out new content, right, and then everybody can
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: just watch it on YouTube.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It totally diminishes respect.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Just like come.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: To put your phones off, you walk them up in
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: that moment and you're such a dope.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: You had that privilege, had just that life scare privilege.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: See you thought he was like a mvy. You did that.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what a couple of He's lightest.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: Vous right of expectation, is one of the lightest operators
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: of the path.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you like you're not white.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he Envy is the guy you believe they're doing.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Monique and Lee Daniels just sit the deliverance. Are we
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: ever going to see a reconciliation with you and her
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: because she I.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Don't know that there's no problem.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: No, but she has said that, like I know when
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: she was doing club and they talked about it and
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: she was talking about the phone call that happened from
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: your team or whatever. Right, is there ever going to
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: be a conversation that we hear you talk about where
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: y'all to have another conversation about that and move forward.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I'll challenge your question with a better question.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: Go ahead, hear me talk about anyone. Do you ever
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: hear anything bad come from me?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: No?
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: So information can be one sided. A perception can never
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: be one sided. It's always a duality. It's it's your
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: side versus another. And if there's not a common ground,
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: that means that means one hasn't been attempted to like
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: be met. So there's no problem between me and Monique,
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: there never will be. There's no problem between me and
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: anybody else. There's nothing to reconcile, there's.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: No there's no problem. So all these.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: Problems that have been attached to Kevin Hart, they're one sided.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with anybody I.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Agree with that people right to have a conflict, because
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: that's the reality. I can tell you that, Like there's
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: a perception that like if somebody comes out and says
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: something that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, me and Kevis behind the scenes said.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: That we're not doing that.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: That's what it has.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Social media has fucked us up to the point of
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: what you hear is what you're forced to believe.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, you do.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Not understand, Like the common ground for truth is always
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: a conversation. And if there ever is a conversation, do
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: you're not forward facing in a public statement ever, Like
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: I didn't say anything about what I did or what
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: I did for Monique or my gestures, you never would
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: have heard.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: It's it's a one.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: Sided version or reason for and by the way I've
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: overbuttled to it, I stand on the side of I'm
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: unproblematic and if me and Moe want.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: To do or could do or would do, we will.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: But that's a me and mo thing, like this new
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: thing that people are like, let me.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Tell you something, world that's like that. I want to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: be honest, I'm forty five years old.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: By the way, team or not, it's not hard to
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: fucking find me.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Like, you know what my schedule is online.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: So she hasn't hit you.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Since all of that stuff, me.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: And Monique have had conversation, and those are me and
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: Monique's conversations before and after. That's called adulting. I don't
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: I don't unadult So all of these new ways of
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: conversation and finger pointing, it's very easy. You know what
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Corminos is in because I'm gonna say some dope ship,
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: all right, Everybody points to the fucking moon because nobody
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: knows what it's like to be at the moon and
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: for the moon to look down. Everybody sees it this way,
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: but nobody sees it the other. There's only a couple
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: of people that have been down here and looked at
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: the moon and said I'm going and went and looked
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: down from So if you don't stand the version of
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: eyesight from both sides, but then you're near side, you
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: got you got one vision. I don't have tunnel vision.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: I have an equal vision of understanding. But if you
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: can't understand the moon side, how do you speak as
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: if you do, that's not that's not life, that's not adulting.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: So I've done for you.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: There's only fucking how many astronauts that have walked on
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: the moon. But everybody speaks if they know what the
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: fuck is on the move. Everybody talks like they know
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: it's up there. You don't know what's up there. You
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: never walked up there. You don't know what it's like
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: to be up there and look down and see what
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: Earth is like from there. So it's only a couple
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: of people that do. When you are on a different
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: side of life and you speak to those that are
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: on that side, is if you know what they're doing,
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: you know why they did it. You're one sided. You
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: can't speak on my fucking reasons as if you know
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: what my reasons are for, you can't speak on my
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: business choice, my business choices, professional choices, more importantly, lifestyle choices,
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: if you don't know.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: What the fuck my life is.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: But you know, that's what I like about the movie
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Fighting That right, because it seems like they show each
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: character in the movie as a hero in their own
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: story with a villain in somebody else's different.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: It's a super complicated narrative, which are my favorite kinds
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: because you're protagonist, right, Your quote unquote heroes are very
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: gray and are very flawed like in real life and
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: you're antagonists, are people that you root for.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Those are my favorite kinds of narratives.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: I love that because we all know the world is
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: not black and white, right, and so you're absolutely right,
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: it's about complex people at a complex time. And that's
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: really what the show was.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: What was your thing successful?
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: Now, before you do that, I just want the world
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: to get to a better place of understanding, like, stop
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: taking the bait.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: It's bait. Bait is unnecessary.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: Like if people really have problems, they talk amongst themselves.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: There are no conversations among.
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: Themselves, and it's not real problems.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that simple.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: No, Kevin's right, I mean, and Kevin's big and a
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: lot of us are on real interactions, you know what
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I mean. And you got a lot of people out
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: there right now, they trying to win internet.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: You know, I just w when the internet.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: I got the most clicks, I got the most likes,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: and you know, let's win real life.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Let's focus on real things.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: So whatever conversation he may have, I may have, somebody
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: else may have, and it doesn't have to be for this.
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: You told me a while ago, he said, and you
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: shut the fuck up.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you a lot I don't.
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: I told you that because he's like, you're explaining yourself
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: to who like?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Who listened? By the way, is like, who are you
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: talking to?
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: Like when you there's nothing that annoys me more when
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: people do this right here, everybody been asking, so let
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: me go in. I'm saying the order you get starting
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: to realize man's.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: Box that matters, and we obsessed on the negative. I
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: hate to say that, but you'll be you post something
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: and get one.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Hundred positive comments. Man, you walking down you look good,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: but it'd be three people.
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: That'll say something sideways and no visa one. Those will
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: be the ones that you respond to, that you obsess over,
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: that you focus on right, not the other.
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: It's not a bigger supporter for the movement of people
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: doing good shit and Monique Lee Daniels reconciling that relationship. However,
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: it happened Great dope for them, did a movie together
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: after great story Dope for them. I want to see
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: more keep doing great shit. The conversation of anything else
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: negative attached to a person's and their reservations and feelings.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: To me, I want to see nothing but good for all.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: Like I would love to see us all win. I
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: would love to see us all at the table where
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: we all can do. If it happens, great, If it doesn't,
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: I guess it wasn't meant to be.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: But you can't have a.
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: Fucking stance of negativity and like also like a real
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: fucking initiative to move forward and like motivate, inspire or
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: create or do whatever. You can't be both. So it's
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: either like you're one or the other. And if you
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: are a part of creativity, inspiration, collaboration, motivation, connectivity, then
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: that has to be it. And whatever you gather along
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: the way, and whoever you align yourself with along the way,
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: well y'all all a part of the same story. If
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: things fall apart through the duration of it wasn't meant
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: to be. On that train. Some people miss a train.
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: It's just life. Some people don't make it and time
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: to catch the train. And the train that's gonna go
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: is going to go. Why do you think trains can't
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: stop fast?
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: They're moving. So either you're on the train, but you're not.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: And if you didn't catch the next train, that's life.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Feel like we went back to the moon because it
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: was something about my guy, My guy, you want to
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: talk about some impressive words, my guy, Kevin, you put
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: some words on.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: What makes it successful?
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Because you know, Hollywood and changed before it was blockbuster movies,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: but now, I mean, there's so many other platforms to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: put your movie on.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: So what is successful for?
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: But you know there's still quant quantitative metrics that they
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: use to determine quantitative learn that brother, just just what
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: is it?
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: Because reality is that you still have ways that you
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: can determine how, you know, how many people watched it,
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: if the audience was into it, if they were engaged,
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: and that stuff is important and so that is definitely
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: a part of what we do. Honestly though right now
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: it's about I just want people to feel stuff, you
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: know what I mean. I want to feel like we're
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: touching the culture, you know. I want to feel like
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: whatever it is that we do, we don't have people
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: feel like we wasted their time.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: That's that's the point.
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: That we have.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Got to get. We gotta get it.
• 44:00

• 44:05
  Speaker 5: like artists are. There's certain artists you like to use
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: because they're, like you amused, they help you paint the picture.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: That you would use within it within a piece.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Film.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: I think I think that, well, obviously is the director.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: I'm a producer. Yeah, absolutely, I think that setting the
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: mood and the theme thematically, it's very important to have
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: first of all, everybody be on the same page about
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: what the vision is going to be right, and also
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: to make sure that the ultimate vision fits the execution
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: and so you know, like for instance, in Fight Night,
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: we wanted it to look a certain way, right light, that's.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Gotta break it down because Kevin, they're coming here to

  Speaker 7: all know in Love is a great highlight of how
• 45:55

  Speaker 7: God's collaboration, egos, et cetera. Ask yourself, what version are you?
• 46:31

  Speaker 2: Hey, man, in and that shit is getting out of control.
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: It's fucking like it's out of control, just from an
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: understanding of real versus not real reality and like false reality.
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: Ask yourself, which version are you on? Are you click bait?
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Are you fucking real and for real relationships, there's real communication.

  Speaker 7: fucking not tell them to contact or not do Hey, man,
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna push you back.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: I'm fucked up.
• 47:13
  Speaker 7: The false communication would be I can't man, just do whatever.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: You figure out what it is and what and then
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: the relationship kind of falls apart based off of an
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: idea that you are giving yourself a moment to create.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: Let's get back to a place of understanding relationships. Relationship.
