The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #1278

00:00:02.000 Here we go in five, four, three, two, one.

00:00:10.000 Yes.

00:00:10.000 Out of all the fucking people that make me feel lazy in this world, there's two, that make me feel you and the rock.

00:00:17.000 You fuckers don't look like you ever sleep, man.

00:00:19.000 No, no.

00:00:20.000 No days off.

00:00:21.000 That's why I love his unattractive ass.

00:00:24.000 He's a person that motivates me, inspires me, and the fact that we're co-workers, we're friends.

00:00:34.000 I think it's a blessing.

00:00:37.000 It's a blessing to be around that because it truly is uplifting.

00:00:42.000 It just makes you weed out the circle.

00:00:44.000 When you're around people that truly give you some good, serve a good value to you and your life, you then look at those that don't and you can then push away.

00:00:57.000 I'm big on...

00:01:01.000 I'm big on personality.

00:01:01.000 I'm big on energy.

00:01:03.000 I'm big on will and wants.

00:01:06.000 I believe that it's contagious.

00:01:08.000 So if you have a bunch of laziness and a bunch of bullshit around you, naturally it's going to feed off.

00:01:12.000 You're going to find yourself becoming what's in your environment.

00:01:15.000 I feel the exact same way.

00:01:17.000 I see that in you.

00:01:19.000 I see that in you.

00:01:22.000 I feel like it's a scene in Avatar.

00:01:23.000 I see you.

00:01:24.000 I see you.

00:01:25.000 Yeah, but a guy like that, I always wonder how much of that is...

00:01:29.000 I've had sleep experts on the podcast that tell you there's real problems if you don't get enough sleep.

00:01:34.000 You have a much higher risk of Alzheimer's, all these other serious issues.

00:01:38.000 But I see a guy like The Rock, I'm like, how the fuck does he sleep?

00:01:42.000 Where's the room for sleep?

00:01:43.000 You know, that's true.

00:01:44.000 I can't say that I've witnessed the sleep patterns.

00:01:49.000 But he's a late ass...

00:01:52.000 So he does.

00:01:53.000 I know he's sleeping at some point.

00:01:55.000 What are we waiting on?

00:01:57.000 What are we waiting on, DJ? God damn it.

00:01:59.000 He's probably getting his rest, which is well deserved.

00:02:02.000 But, you know, when you say you had these sleep experts and stuff on, it's always a thing that I go back and forth about because what is enough sleep?

00:02:11.000 Like, I'm a person, I function high off of six to seven hours.

00:02:16.000 Yeah.

00:02:17.000 Six, seven hours, I'm...

00:02:19.000 I'm functioning.

00:02:20.000 Five hours, I'm great.

00:02:22.000 Do I do the five hour thing all the time?

00:02:24.000 No.

00:02:24.000 But if I have to, I'm fine.

00:02:27.000 I don't need the eight and the nine.

00:02:30.000 I feel like that's too much for me.

00:02:32.000 I'm an early riser and now that I'm getting older, if I can get in that bed by 9.30 or 10 on an off work day, I'm very happy with that.

00:02:42.000 But then I'm up at 5.30.

00:02:44.000 I'm up at 5.30.

00:02:45.000 So what is enough sleep?

00:02:46.000 What do they tell you is enough sleep?

00:02:47.000 It really depends on the person.

00:02:49.000 There are people that have a gene where they can just sleep four hours a night and they're fine.

00:02:53.000 I got that.

00:02:53.000 You might got it.

00:02:54.000 I got that.

00:02:55.000 What is that?

00:02:56.000 Does that mean my blood is gold?

00:02:58.000 What is that?

00:02:58.000 It just means you got special genes.

00:03:00.000 God damn right.

00:03:00.000 I'm alien.

00:03:01.000 I got some shit.

00:03:02.000 There are people that just don't need as much.

00:03:04.000 They can go a long time without sleep.

00:03:07.000 Diagnose me, I'm one of those people.

00:03:08.000 You might be.

00:03:09.000 I bet a lot of high-functioning people are.

00:03:11.000 Because your body tends to...

00:03:13.000 You get more efficient.

00:03:15.000 You're always going.

00:03:16.000 You're always burning hard.

00:03:18.000 So your body's like, when it's time to shut down, it's like, shut down.

00:03:21.000 Get that five, six hours in.

00:03:22.000 Alright, back to work.

00:03:23.000 Let's go.

00:03:24.000 I will confess this.

00:03:26.000 I am an amazing catnapper.

00:03:29.000 Wow.

00:03:30.000 Yeah, I'm one of those guys.

00:03:32.000 That's a good move.

00:03:32.000 If you stop talking to me long enough, I'm going to fall asleep right here.

00:03:39.000 It's something about silence and just not doing anything.

00:03:43.000 Well, you're probably going on momentum all the time.

00:03:46.000 You're probably going on motivation and momentum.

00:03:49.000 And then when your body has this break, your body's like, we can use a little sleep right here.

00:03:53.000 That's just...

00:03:53.000 That's 100% right.

00:03:54.000 I'm damn serious.

00:03:55.000 I know for sure that that's accurate because I'll catnap in a heartbeat.

00:03:59.000 Do you feel like you've hit a good balance?

00:04:02.000 This is what I always wonder about with guys like you or guys like The Rock.

00:04:05.000 When I look at your Instagram and your social media and you're just constantly going like, God damn!

00:04:09.000 Do you ever feel like you do too much?

00:04:11.000 Like, maybe I just need to take a little break here.

00:04:14.000 Do you ever feel like that?

00:04:15.000 I think the perception definitely perceives reality.

00:04:19.000 What looks like so much isn't always so much because you have a schedule.

00:04:25.000 And within that schedule, there's the things that mean the most that come and act as downtime.

00:04:35.000 You know, me and my house is downtime.

00:04:37.000 Even though it's still active and I gotta be dad and I'm with the kids and the wife and it's conversation and I'm running around and I'm back and forth.

00:04:44.000 That still acts as downtime for me.

00:04:47.000 Like, I'm shutting the work off.

00:04:49.000 So the phone is in the office.

00:04:51.000 I'm not going back to get in until the morning.

00:04:54.000 And it's all conversation.

00:04:56.000 It's all TV. It's all Taco Tuesdays.

00:05:00.000 It's couch and cuddling.

00:05:01.000 Uh, Baby time, whatever.

00:05:05.000 That's my downtime.

00:05:06.000 Because I've taken a step outside of the other shit.

00:05:11.000 That's wise.

00:05:11.000 That's what I think I do very well.

00:05:14.000 I can step outside the other shit.

00:05:16.000 I can separate it.

00:05:17.000 So I think when you're able to do that, then you're managing your mental.

00:05:22.000 You know what I mean?

00:05:23.000 If it's always one thing all the time, That's how you fucking drive yourself crazy because you're never shutting it off.

00:05:30.000 Yeah.

00:05:31.000 And I think I do a good job of shutting this off and focusing on this.

00:05:37.000 Like when I'm with my family, I'm with my family.

00:05:39.000 Nothing interjects or comes in between.

00:05:42.000 That's fantastic.

00:05:44.000 That's so important.

00:05:45.000 That's 100%.

00:05:45.000 That's beautiful.

00:05:46.000 You figured that out?

00:05:47.000 That's gigantic.

00:05:48.000 I think I figured it out.

00:05:49.000 That's it, man.

00:05:50.000 I think I figured it out.

00:05:51.000 You've got so much success.

00:05:53.000 It's not like you have to be with that fucking phone all the time.

00:05:56.000 The phone is the big one, right?

00:05:58.000 The phone is the gift and the curse.

00:06:01.000 I think that we shot out the gate and saw the gift.

00:06:06.000 Oh my god.

00:06:07.000 It's community.

00:06:08.000 It's connecting us.

00:06:09.000 We're able to share.

00:06:10.000 We're able to meet new people.

00:06:12.000 We're able to stay in communication with old people.

00:06:17.000 Find new people.

00:06:18.000 As an entertainer, I can engage with my fans.

00:06:21.000 And this is so dope!

00:06:23.000 And then after that, you get hit with the curse.

00:06:26.000 And the curse is there's a high level of negativity that's out there that's on that shit.

00:06:33.000 There's a lot of people that are not happy or going through things and they interject a certain amount of negativity and hatred through Through these devices.

00:06:48.000 These devices are the easiest way to touch everybody.

00:06:52.000 So when you're just consumed on that shit all day, you start to see yourself being a part of the negative shit.

00:06:59.000 So what I've learned to do is go, I don't need to see that.

00:07:03.000 I don't need to see that shit.

00:07:04.000 I don't pay that any mind.

00:07:06.000 I don't read that shit for what?

00:07:08.000 It's not helping me.

00:07:09.000 It's not making me better.

00:07:10.000 It's not pushing me to new limits.

00:07:14.000 If anything, it's taking up just creative space by me literally spending time going and navigating through what I think is a bunch of bullshit.

00:07:25.000 So I don't let the device beat me.

00:07:28.000 And at one point, I definitely did.

00:07:30.000 At one point, it was everything.

00:07:31.000 It was everything.

00:07:32.000 It was, you know.

00:07:34.000 Now I separate it.

00:07:35.000 How'd you break clear of it?

00:07:36.000 When you realize what it is.

00:07:38.000 When you see the bad.

00:07:40.000 You know?

00:07:41.000 When you see the bad side of it.

00:07:44.000 I thought the other day...

00:07:46.000 This is some real shit.

00:07:48.000 And it really made me think.

00:07:49.000 My phone died.

00:07:50.000 My phone died and I'm driving.

00:07:52.000 And I was using the fucking maps.

00:07:54.000 And I was like, oh shit.

00:07:57.000 What the fuck?

00:07:57.000 How am I get to where...

00:07:59.000 I don't know where I'm going.

00:08:00.000 And I sat and I was like, yo, how did we...

00:08:03.000 How did we get from point A to point B before the map shit?

00:08:07.000 What were we doing?

00:08:09.000 I used to print out directions from Google Maps.

00:08:12.000 I remember that.

00:08:13.000 But then before that, how did you get to the places where you were going that you didn't know how to get to?

00:08:19.000 I don't even remember.

00:08:20.000 Do you remember Thomas Guides?

00:08:21.000 Did you ever have a Thomas Guide?

00:08:22.000 I did have a Thomas Guide.

00:08:23.000 I did have a Thomas Guide.

00:08:26.000 Giant ass book.

00:08:27.000 A hundred percent.

00:08:28.000 Bill Burr had one until like three years ago.

00:08:31.000 Bill probably still uses it.

00:08:32.000 Shout out to Bill Burr.

00:08:34.000 But it really fucked me up because I was like, how do...

00:08:37.000 We don't even know how to do the common, the norm anymore because the device has made everything available and I literally had to drive to a store where I could buy a charger,

00:08:54.000 charge up my phone to get back and use the map to get to where the fuck I was going because I had no idea how to get there.

00:09:00.000 I didn't know no numbers by heart.

00:09:02.000 I didn't know who I was going to call.

00:09:06.000 This was the moment where I was like, what level of success have I reached?

00:09:10.000 I just pulled over and I sat there and I was like, how the fuck am I going to get to where I'm going?

00:09:14.000 You should have a spare phone, man.

00:09:15.000 I don't know what it was.

00:09:16.000 You need a backup phone.

00:09:17.000 It felt like the end of the world.

00:09:19.000 It felt like it was over.

00:09:22.000 I was like, shit.

00:09:23.000 Isn't that crazy how dependent you are?

00:09:25.000 But that's when the light bulb It started to click.

00:09:29.000 It started to click.

00:09:30.000 How do we function without?

00:09:33.000 I want to go backwards a little bit.

00:09:35.000 It's still there.

00:09:36.000 I still need it.

00:09:38.000 I still think it's dope with all of the things that we can do on it, but I still want to be able to put it down and step away from it.

00:09:45.000 I want my kids to be able to step away from it.

00:09:47.000 That's why when I come in the house, my phone is up.

00:09:50.000 Because I can't bitch and complain at y'all about being on your phone if you see me doing the same thing.

00:09:55.000 So that time, those conversations, me wanting to know about your day, you talking to me about your day, your friends, who you like, who don't you like...

00:10:05.000 My daughter.

00:10:06.000 What, boy?

00:10:07.000 Who?

00:10:07.000 What?

00:10:08.000 Huh?

00:10:08.000 No.

00:10:09.000 All right.

00:10:10.000 God.

00:10:10.000 My son.

00:10:11.000 Yeah.

00:10:12.000 I like somebody.

00:10:13.000 Who?

00:10:13.000 Oh, Jesus.

00:10:14.000 Here it comes.

00:10:15.000 It's a great thing.

00:10:17.000 And I want to be able to have those moments.

00:10:19.000 And, you know, I think it's big to make sure that you prioritize that.

00:10:25.000 Are you worried about what comes next?

00:10:27.000 100%.

00:10:28.000 I'm worried that something's going to be way more intrusive than that.

00:10:31.000 What do you mean?

00:10:32.000 It's already happening.

00:10:32.000 The biggest scare happened already.

00:10:35.000 With the FaceTime shit that happened.

00:10:38.000 What happened?

00:10:39.000 Well, Apple, on the iPhones, it was like people could listen in to your...

00:10:43.000 Oh yeah, if you didn't even pick up, they could FaceTime you.

00:10:46.000 They could just listen in to it.

00:10:47.000 And that was the scariest shit ever.

00:10:50.000 Because if it's that easy to have a bug like that, what's the thing that's not a bug that's there that you just don't know about?

00:10:58.000 Oh, there's definitely government listening to us right now.

00:11:00.000 100%.

00:11:00.000 Yeah.

00:11:01.000 100%.

00:11:01.000 Recording everything everybody says, and then in case one day you do something wrong, they'll put you aside.

00:11:06.000 Mr. Hart, we'd like you to sit down for a minute.

00:11:08.000 We're going to play you something.

00:11:10.000 100%.

00:11:11.000 Yeah.

00:11:11.000 So the fear is...

00:11:13.000 The next level of intrusive.

00:11:18.000 I think everything has become intrusive now.

00:11:21.000 The toughest thing for me is that there is no privacy outside my home.

00:11:28.000 The amount of money that you have to now spend just on...

00:11:41.000 We're good to go.

00:11:55.000 Right, right, right.

00:11:56.000 A handshake is so much better to get a moment.

00:12:00.000 We can talk if that's what you want.

00:12:02.000 No, no, no.

00:12:02.000 Yo, say it now.

00:12:04.000 It's kind of weird because you're doing this to me.

00:12:07.000 It's kind of weird to have a conversation.

00:12:09.000 So you're just starting to see yourself become a little older and wiser and just really see the times for what they are and see the direction that we're going in as people and just hope and pray that we find a middle ground because I think right now there isn't one.

00:12:26.000 That's what I'm feeling now.

00:12:28.000 No, I feel it too.

00:12:30.000 Especially, I mean, what you're talking about is you being super famous and losing all your privacy, but everyone's losing their privacy.

00:12:37.000 Slowly but surely.

00:12:38.000 It's happening to you because you're very famous and because you do something that's in the public eye and people want to see you and they want to stick that camera in front of you, but...

00:12:47.000 There's gonna come a point in time where what we're dealing with now, which is like you have to turn your phone on, you have to reach out to somebody, you have to put something up, that step's gonna be out of the way.

00:12:59.000 And it's just gonna be people being able to access your life.

00:13:01.000 Yeah.

00:13:02.000 You know the bad?

00:13:03.000 Here's what I'll say that's bad.

00:13:06.000 That really fucks with me.

00:13:08.000 I don't like that negativity is the want.

00:13:17.000 The thing that's popular is the failure.

00:13:22.000 The fuck up.

00:13:24.000 The fight that I can catch.

00:13:28.000 The hateful moment that I can catch and post.

00:13:32.000 The bad is being highlighted and celebrated.

00:13:36.000 That's what fucks with me.

00:13:38.000 With the social media shit now.

00:13:40.000 What really bothers me is, you know, when you see these things online, like, you know, a fight and there's a man hitting a woman and it's captured.

00:13:50.000 Right.

00:13:50.000 That's bad.

00:13:52.000 The bad thing is that you watched, that the video was more important than the actual help.

00:13:59.000 Right.

00:13:59.000 Or the moment to step in.

00:14:01.000 And, you know, when you see these things where you're catching people do these things to kids and it's caught.

00:14:06.000 Right.

00:14:07.000 The moment of what you got and what you want to post and get likes or whatever on is the focus instead of the help.

00:14:17.000 And that's the part that is just...

00:14:20.000 I just have a hard time processing.

00:14:22.000 I have a hard time processing what the likes mean to certain people.

00:14:28.000 Well, you get an extraordinary amount of attention, so it doesn't mean anything to you the way it means something to a regular person.

00:14:34.000 But to a regular person, if they can catch some WorldStar video and put it up there like, dude, that's my video!

00:14:40.000 That's my video!

00:14:41.000 Look, my video got five million hits!

00:14:43.000 My video has gone viral!

00:14:45.000 My video's everywhere!

00:14:46.000 For them, it's a point of excitement.

00:14:48.000 That's why when they see you, they're like, oh shit, how often are they going to run into Kevin Hart at Costco or wherever the fuck you were?

00:14:54.000 I definitely run into me on a...

00:14:57.000 I'm in a bathroom restaurant and I go to the bathroom.

00:15:04.000 By the way that I went to the bathroom, you could definitely tell I had to shit.

00:15:07.000 Yeah.

00:15:07.000 I was moving fast.

00:15:10.000 You know, I was one of those abrupt, you know, while you're eating.

00:15:13.000 Yeah, I'm eating bad, so I didn't eat bad in a while.

00:15:16.000 My stomach immediately said, this is not going to happen today.

00:15:18.000 So I get up and I go.

00:15:22.000 And literally, like three seconds, I hear it as I'm walking.

00:15:28.000 Oh, they go Kev Hart.

00:15:29.000 And as I'm walking by, a guy gets up, follows me in the bathroom.

00:15:34.000 And he's like, yo, I got to get a picture, man.

00:15:37.000 And I said, let me go to the bathroom.

00:15:39.000 When I'm done, I'll take a picture with you.

00:15:40.000 I go to the bathroom.

00:15:42.000 This is a true story.

00:15:43.000 Hand on the Bible.

00:15:44.000 Hand on the Bible.

00:15:45.000 I assume the guy is outside the bathroom.

00:15:48.000 As I'm going, I see him and I say what I say.

00:15:51.000 I get done.

00:15:52.000 I go to the sink, wash my hands.

00:15:55.000 He was just sitting behind the wall.

00:15:57.000 And he's like, got his phone out.

00:15:58.000 And I'm like, did he just take me while I was shitting?

00:16:01.000 Did he put the phone over the thing?

00:16:04.000 Oh, Jesus.

00:16:05.000 Like, I'm about to be on.

00:16:07.000 Oh, my God, it's over.

00:16:09.000 This is it.

00:16:09.000 This is my nightmare.

00:16:10.000 Here we go.

00:16:11.000 They're about to put something up of me shitting.

00:16:14.000 It's the bottom of my feet.

00:16:15.000 It's whatever.

00:16:16.000 But he just waited in that moment.

00:16:19.000 It was so important that he was in the bathroom.

00:16:23.000 And as soon as I got up, come on, let's take a nap.

00:16:25.000 I said, let's go outside the bathroom.

00:16:27.000 Yeah.

00:16:28.000 Let's take a picture.

00:16:28.000 That's a bathroom.

00:16:29.000 I said, I'm not going away.

00:16:31.000 I'm a nice guy, man.

00:16:32.000 I'm going to take the picture.

00:16:33.000 He's like, I just ain't want to lose you.

00:16:34.000 And I'm like, there's not even a thought.

00:16:37.000 There's not even a thought about it's a bathroom.

00:16:41.000 Right.

00:16:41.000 How weird is that?

00:16:42.000 It's a bathroom, man.

00:16:43.000 This is a pretty fucking weird moment, man.

00:16:46.000 Yeah.

00:16:47.000 This is weird.

00:16:47.000 Following you, waiting for you to shit.

00:16:49.000 You just waited for me to finish shit and I don't know what you got on your phone.

00:16:52.000 Right.

00:16:53.000 You're too big for me to ask to go through your phone so I can't.

00:16:56.000 Whatever you got, you got.

00:16:57.000 But I had to go out and take the picture and I remember going back to the table just like, what's happening?

00:17:03.000 That's so strange.

00:17:05.000 At this point, what is happening?

00:17:07.000 Yeah, that didn't exist before.

00:17:08.000 I think if you were famous before, people just wanted to get an autograph or shake your hand.

00:17:12.000 We're past the autograph stage.

00:17:14.000 When was the last time you got an autograph?

00:17:16.000 It's been a while.

00:17:18.000 I don't think I would know how to write it.

00:17:20.000 I don't think I would know what to put down.

00:17:22.000 It's been a minute, man.

00:17:24.000 And I want to make this very clear.

00:17:26.000 You're not complaining.

00:17:27.000 I don't knock it.

00:17:28.000 I understand.

00:17:30.000 Once again, I want people to, more importantly, understand the fact that I welcome it.

00:17:35.000 I welcome the moment that I can talk and converse with the fan.

00:17:40.000 But it should be that.

00:17:42.000 Normal.

00:17:42.000 With two people.

00:17:43.000 The moments are better when they're real.

00:17:46.000 And after a real moment, you get a picture because you're like, yo, he was actually a nice guy.

00:17:53.000 Or I had no idea that you would be this calm and cool.

00:17:58.000 You don't even get to see how genuine of a person I am because the first thing you do...

00:18:03.000 You stick the camera in the face.

00:18:06.000 And that's when people think that you're an asshole.

00:18:09.000 Because they have the intrusive moment that then gets met with the...

00:18:14.000 Can you please?

00:18:15.000 I'm sorry.

00:18:16.000 You don't have to stick it in my face.

00:18:17.000 Damn, you ain't got to be like that!

00:18:18.000 Wait a minute.

00:18:19.000 They look for that, too.

00:18:20.000 They look to turn on you.

00:18:22.000 Because now you get your moment.

00:18:23.000 You look for the negative moment.

00:18:25.000 When does shit start getting weird for you?

00:18:26.000 Like, how many years in?

00:18:28.000 Um...

00:18:29.000 I don't know.

00:18:30.000 It's been pretty crazy.

00:18:31.000 It's been pretty crazy for like the last four to five.

00:18:35.000 The last four to five years.

00:18:36.000 And the last three, you know, it's gotten insane.

00:18:40.000 Because now, you know, you're on an international level.

00:18:43.000 So it's global.

00:18:45.000 And the following is bigger.

00:18:48.000 And it's all ages.

00:18:50.000 Which is really, really good.

00:18:52.000 But I think, you know, for comedians...

00:18:55.000 It's a different thing because you feel like you know comedians.

00:19:00.000 You're laughing.

00:19:01.000 We're in your homes.

00:19:02.000 Everything is met with warmth.

00:19:04.000 So when you see a comedian, especially if you're a fan of a comedian, you're associating everything with funny and you're just looking for the funny moment.

00:19:13.000 You're looking past the normal moment.

00:19:17.000 It's like you almost are frowned upon if you're normal.

00:19:22.000 If you just chill.

00:19:23.000 Right, right, right.

00:19:24.000 Because everybody wants the funny moment.

00:19:25.000 Right, they thought you were going to be funny all the time.

00:19:27.000 It's like I'm supposed to pop lock right on site.

00:19:33.000 If it's two in the morning and you run into me and I say, hey, how you doing, man?

00:19:38.000 That's not enough.

00:19:40.000 When you work out your shit now, I've seen you at the Comedy Store, but only once.

00:19:45.000 Where do you work out your shit?

00:19:46.000 I like to go to random comedy clubs.

00:19:48.000 I think I'll go to New York first.

00:19:51.000 New York has always been a home when it comes to building, putting some structure within a set that you're trying to figure out.

00:20:01.000 Once I got a skeleton of what I want to do, I'll just go to West Palm.

00:20:06.000 I love that comedy club, the improv down there.

00:20:08.000 Oh, that place is great.

00:20:09.000 I'll stay for two weeks.

00:20:10.000 Oh, really?

00:20:11.000 And just go and run through some jokes.

00:20:13.000 I'll go to Utah.

00:20:15.000 I'll go to Denver.

00:20:17.000 You do the Wise Guys?

00:20:19.000 Yeah.

00:20:19.000 I'll go to comedy clubs, just random comedy clubs that you wouldn't expect to see me at.

00:20:23.000 But I'll do a hell of a run.

00:20:25.000 And the goal is to get out of there with just a foundation.

00:20:28.000 It's not to have a complete set.

00:20:31.000 I just want to get a foundation.

00:20:32.000 So when I'm done getting the foundation, then I'll do a little comedy club run.

00:20:37.000 I'll do a full comedy club run where I just put two or three months in.

00:20:41.000 And it's comedy club, comedy club, comedy club.

00:20:43.000 And I'm doing seven shows a weekend.

00:20:45.000 And people are shocked that I'm there and that I'm doing it.

00:20:49.000 But, you know, that's my...

00:20:51.000 That's my gym.

00:20:52.000 That's how I work.

00:20:52.000 And I end up leaving that period of time with a complete set after the first three or four months that I spent.

00:20:59.000 Now after that comedy club, three or four months doing that run, then I take it to like a small theater.

00:21:04.000 I see what my laughter feels like in a small theater and I do a little run in small theaters.

00:21:09.000 And then when I finally feel like it's at a point where I'm getting the laugh consistently and the punchlines are working and I flipped it back frontwards forward every direction and my story is a real rollercoaster and it has an ending where I feel like we get off the rollercoaster and we're happy and you don't feel like you were there for an hour is then when I go test it out in the arena.

00:21:31.000 And if the arena, if it lasts or sounds the way it's supposed to, then I say, okay, I'm ready.

00:21:36.000 If it doesn't, then I'll go back to small theaters and then I'll go to an arena again.

00:21:41.000 So not till that arena sounds the way it's supposed to, do I say I'm going on tour.

00:21:45.000 So sometimes it takes me about a year, a year and three months, a year and four months.

00:21:50.000 You know, people don't understand how hard it is to develop an hour of stand-up material.

00:21:55.000 People act like you just turn on a new hour.

00:21:57.000 It's an hour.

00:21:58.000 To get to an hour you're going through four to five hours of bullshit that you thought was funny.

00:22:04.000 To come up to that hour that you finally say...

00:22:08.000 This is going to be the representation of me this year.

00:22:10.000 Yeah.

00:22:11.000 It's a lot for me to do that, especially at this level, you know?

00:22:14.000 Well, especially while you're always doing movies and you're always busy with a bunch of other stuff, too.

00:22:18.000 Stuff.

00:22:19.000 Stuff.

00:22:19.000 Yeah.

00:22:20.000 I mean, you don't take any breaks.

00:22:21.000 Well, I tour.

00:22:22.000 I actually, you know, when I'm touring, if there's a movie, I make the movie schedule around the tour.

00:22:28.000 So my shooting days will go Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Wrap Thursday, and Maybe I have a show Thursday night and then I'm going Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

00:22:38.000 Sometimes no show Sunday, sometimes show Sunday, depending on what the work schedule and the workload for the following week would look like.

00:22:45.000 So I'm implementing that in.

00:22:46.000 So when I say I'm out, I'm out.

00:22:49.000 I'm gone.

00:22:50.000 So I knocked that movie out in two months.

00:22:52.000 And then when I'm not, that tour schedule shifts.

00:22:55.000 So the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, dedicated to the family, dedicated to the office, everything.

00:23:00.000 Then those weekends are touring.

00:23:02.000 But that tour lasts for a year and a half.

00:23:04.000 I mean, this year we did 157 shows on my irresponsible tour.

00:23:08.000 Wow.

00:23:10.000 157 shows.

00:23:10.000 Before you decided to put it on the Netflix special.

00:23:12.000 Yeah.

00:23:13.000 We did the Netflix, the taping.

00:23:15.000 I think I did it three weeks before we were done, so we were probably at 143 shows.

00:23:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:23:21.000 Then I taped it and finished the tour.

00:23:23.000 Did you always have this kind of structure?

00:23:25.000 Like, when did you...

00:23:26.000 How did you design this?

00:23:27.000 I'm a thought-out individual.

00:23:28.000 Yeah, you seem like that.

00:23:29.000 I'm a well-thought-out individual.

00:23:32.000 Everything is planned.

00:23:33.000 Yeah, this is not random.

00:23:34.000 No, everything is planned.

00:23:35.000 If you...

00:23:35.000 Look at all my stand-up specials.

00:23:37.000 There's a two-year gap in between them.

00:23:39.000 So the two-year gap is because at the end of that second year, my new special should be coming out.

00:23:45.000 When that new special should be coming out, I'm now focusing on what the next special is going to be.

00:23:50.000 So that first year...

00:23:53.000 It's all development.

00:23:54.000 Like right now, I'm off.

00:23:56.000 I'm not touring.

00:23:57.000 But now I'm mentally in the gym and throwing all the old stuff that I talked about away.

00:24:03.000 That's now thrown out.

00:24:05.000 Can't repeat it.

00:24:05.000 Can't say it.

00:24:06.000 Now it's talking about what the new version of myself is going to be.

00:24:10.000 What do I want the conversation to be?

00:24:13.000 What's my thinking?

00:24:14.000 And just taking notes.

00:24:16.000 So...

00:24:16.000 Eventually now, I'm going to start just popping up in random comedy clubs and trying to figure out what the next thing is.

00:24:22.000 So by mid-20, I'll probably be doing comedy clubs.

00:24:27.000 By the end of 20, I should have a full-fledged concept of that new hour.

00:24:33.000 And by the beginning of 21, I should be ready to go out with my new hour.

00:24:37.000 End of 21, film my new hour.

00:24:40.000 Mid-22, that hour would come out.

00:24:43.000 That seems like a schedule a lot of people are doing now, the two-year schedule.

00:24:46.000 It's a perfect gap.

00:24:48.000 Yeah, that's how I do it.

00:24:49.000 I know Louis C.K. did a year, every year, and George Carlin did every year, but I think even he said it really wasn't the right way to do it.

00:24:56.000 That's tough.

00:24:56.000 A year is tough.

00:24:58.000 I mean, that's a...

00:24:59.000 Shouts out to those that can't do it.

00:25:01.000 I think that's amazing.

00:25:03.000 I think just for everything that I have going on, And all of the different things that my hands are in within the brand, the business, I need to make sure that I'm giving 100% to those things so they have the highest opportunity to be successful.

00:25:19.000 If I'm trying to cheat it, then it's going to show.

00:25:22.000 It's not going to come out to the best of my ability.

00:25:26.000 And with that stand-up, you got a fucking magnifying glass on you.

00:25:29.000 You're always being judged off of what you did at one point.

00:25:34.000 Just like a musician.

00:25:35.000 You're always judged off of the album that everybody thought was whatever.

00:25:40.000 So, the biggest thing for an entertainer, artist, whatever your craft is, is...

00:25:47.000 How are you recreating yourself?

00:25:49.000 How are you constantly showing that you're growing?

00:25:52.000 For me, the only way to do that is to talk about my life and the things that grow along with me.

00:25:58.000 The only thing that grows along with me, my experiences, my family, my marriage, my mistakes, my ups, my downs.

00:26:09.000 Those are the things that I can talk about forever because as you get older, things change, shit gets different.

00:26:16.000 But it's all coming from my personal opinion of me, my view on me and how I see life.

00:26:22.000 You can't Lose material in that state.

00:26:26.000 That's why I stay away from certain things because those things can become boring after a while.

00:26:32.000 For me, because I don't have the knowledge of everything that I should.

00:26:37.000 Like what?

00:26:37.000 What kind of things?

00:26:38.000 Well, politics.

00:26:39.000 I don't joke in the politics.

00:26:40.000 I don't joke in anything that has to do with the slander of others or other communities.

00:26:47.000 I don't do anything divisive.

00:26:49.000 Good for you.

00:26:50.000 That's my biggest thing.

00:26:53.000 This past year was one that got a little weird because I was like, yo, I've really dedicated myself to bringing people together.

00:27:04.000 That was my...

00:27:06.000 My goal, that's my priority.

00:27:08.000 I damn sure thought that's what I was doing on a global scale.

00:27:11.000 Everybody, all races, shapes, sizes, whoever you are, whatever you are, you can come to a Kevin Hart show and have a good time.

00:27:17.000 So when it came off as if I was a person that was divisive, That was tough.

00:27:23.000 You're talking about the Oscar show?

00:27:24.000 The Oscar show, yeah.

00:27:25.000 This is a time where people are just looking to be upset about things.

00:27:29.000 100%.

00:27:29.000 And they're not looking at you, Kevin Hart, as just a human being.

00:27:32.000 Who is he overall?

00:27:35.000 Super positive.

00:27:36.000 They're not even concentrating on that.

00:27:38.000 I mean, think about how positive you are, and yet they tried to concentrate on some jokes that you did, what, nine years ago?

00:27:44.000 Well, it's a wake-up call.

00:27:47.000 Of understanding the times, but then more importantly, you know, for me it was, okay, I went through it.

00:27:54.000 I made sure that the people of the LGBTQ community really understand that, hey guys, I apologized before, but I'm apologizing again.

00:28:02.000 I'm sorry.

00:28:03.000 I'm not that guy.

00:28:04.000 I don't want you to think I'm that guy.

00:28:06.000 Then, it just became the constant conversation.

00:28:09.000 That never happened.

00:28:10.000 It just became the constant conversation.

00:28:13.000 And now it is, guys, I'm not only sorry, I don't condone anything that has to do with hate.

00:28:21.000 To anybody!

00:28:23.000 This is no longer a conversation.

00:28:26.000 So guys, I'm gonna stop talking about it.

00:28:28.000 Because now I feel like I'm feeding into what I'm not.

00:28:33.000 I know I'm not.

00:28:35.000 The world and public should understand and know that I'm not.

00:28:39.000 Because over this time period, I've shown that I'm not.

00:28:43.000 So...

00:28:45.000 The apology, once again, I'm sorry.

00:28:48.000 Genuinely, I'm sorry.

00:28:50.000 But then it just never stopped.

00:28:53.000 And at that point, I just made a decision.

00:28:56.000 And I'm like, guys, at this point, I'm making a decision to not talk about it anymore.

00:29:01.000 That doesn't mean that I'm being disrespectful to anybody.

00:29:03.000 That doesn't mean that I'm shutting down anything.

00:29:06.000 It means that for me, I'm going to stop talking about it.

00:29:10.000 Because at this point, I don't know what to do.

00:29:14.000 At this point, I thought the apology is what you want me to do.

00:29:17.000 I did it.

00:29:19.000 I made sure that you understand that I'm not a hateful person.

00:29:22.000 I don't hate.

00:29:22.000 I did that.

00:29:23.000 I stepped down so I don't take attention off of that night and those people that are there to be celebrated.

00:29:29.000 I don't want to draw attention to myself and what's around me.

00:29:32.000 I stepped down.

00:29:33.000 Everything I did...

00:29:34.000 It was for the better of good.

00:29:37.000 I'm stepping away, guys, because I don't want this to be a negative night or a negative thing.

00:29:43.000 And then it still became a conversation.

00:29:45.000 So I waited for it to die down.

00:29:47.000 I went on my radio show, gave another public apology.

00:29:51.000 Made sure that he understood that I'm sorry.

00:29:54.000 I hope these words didn't hurt anybody.

00:29:56.000 I once again apologize.

00:29:58.000 I don't condone hate to anyone.

00:30:00.000 I hope that you guys can forgive me for those jokes of old.

00:30:04.000 So now, I say, if you don't understand and you don't believe it, I don't know what else to give.

00:30:12.000 I don't know what else to do.

00:30:13.000 There's nothing else you can do.

00:30:14.000 That's very wise of you.

00:30:15.000 Nothing.

00:30:16.000 It's very wise of you to step away like that because if you didn't, they would probably pursue it forever.

00:30:21.000 It becomes a point of attention.

00:30:23.000 That's all it is.

00:30:24.000 They just decide that this is something they're going to focus on.

00:30:27.000 I had a good talk, and I'm going to talk about this for a minute.

00:30:29.000 A friend of mine, Lee Daniels.

00:30:31.000 Me and Lee Daniels.

00:30:34.000 Lee called me, told me he wanted to talk to me.

00:30:35.000 You know who Lee Daniels is?

00:30:37.000 Director, producer, the show Empires, one of his biggest shows.

00:30:43.000 So he calls me, he's like, Kev, I want to talk to you.

00:30:46.000 And us talking, he's like, look...

00:30:49.000 This is a time where you could speak up and talk about the community that's been affected by hatred and hateful crimes.

00:31:04.000 You can step up and be a voice and say that you don't condone or don't stand with any type of hate or whatever.

00:31:15.000 You can take that stage and do that.

00:31:17.000 And I said, Lee, I understand what you're saying.

00:31:21.000 I said, well, why did you expect me to know what's been happening within this community in regards to hate and crimes?

00:31:31.000 I said, I'm not aware.

00:31:34.000 I said, some people can just not be aware.

00:31:37.000 I'm not in the know.

00:31:39.000 I have no idea what's going on.

00:31:42.000 I have no idea.

00:31:43.000 In the gay community.

00:31:44.000 Yes, within that community.

00:31:46.000 I have no idea.

00:31:47.000 Right.

00:31:47.000 When you tell me this, I'm now educated and I understand.

00:31:52.000 So it's easy to simply inform.

00:31:55.000 Right.

00:31:56.000 Information is key.

00:31:57.000 When people get information, they process the information.

00:32:01.000 When you can process the information, you go, oh, wait a minute.

00:32:04.000 That makes sense.

00:32:06.000 Hey, if you guys think that I condone hate, wait a minute.

00:32:10.000 I don't.

00:32:11.000 And anybody that does, fuck you, man.

00:32:12.000 That's bad.

00:32:13.000 You shouldn't.

00:32:14.000 I can say that.

00:32:16.000 But instead, when this happened, it was become an ally.

00:32:21.000 Become a voice.

00:32:23.000 And that's where there was just a miscommunication.

00:32:27.000 That's where a back and forth kind of was established that I think people just started to take things and run with it.

00:32:35.000 And I'm just not one to feed into what I feel is.

00:32:44.000 Isn't going to eventually evolve into a positive thing.

00:32:49.000 In a real conversation.

00:32:50.000 Yes.

00:32:50.000 When I'm trying my best to.

00:32:52.000 It was becoming tabloid bullshit.

00:32:54.000 Pretty much.

00:32:54.000 As opposed to a real discussion.

00:32:56.000 Clickbait.

00:32:56.000 Yeah, clickbait.

00:32:57.000 Clickbait.

00:32:57.000 That's the problem.

00:32:58.000 There's so much clickbait out there because it's such an effective way to get people to pay attention to things.

00:33:02.000 Because as you said, people focus on failure and negative and anger.

00:33:06.000 That's what we want to see.

00:33:08.000 Controversy.

00:33:08.000 That's what we want to see.

00:33:09.000 People want to see...

00:33:11.000 The anger.

00:33:13.000 Why do you think that is?

00:33:15.000 Because it's just the times.

00:33:17.000 That's what's cool now.

00:33:19.000 Is that what it is?

00:33:20.000 What's cool is being negative.

00:33:22.000 You know how you always have some people, this is a great example, how you have people, me and you can talk about a movie, right?

00:33:29.000 We can talk about Titanic.

00:33:31.000 Wow, Titanic, one of the biggest movies of all time.

00:33:35.000 Fucking great movie.

00:33:36.000 Yes, it was a great movie.

00:33:37.000 And one guy, for no reason to go, I fucking hated it.

00:33:42.000 Why?

00:33:43.000 You ain't like Titanic?

00:33:44.000 Fucking bullshit.

00:33:45.000 Why?

00:33:46.000 Man, I ain't got...

00:33:47.000 I know why.

00:33:49.000 No, tell me.

00:33:50.000 Why'd you hate it?

00:33:51.000 I ain't got time to talk to y'all about that.

00:33:53.000 The cool thing is just being different.

00:33:56.000 I want to be completely opposite than all these positive people.

00:34:01.000 You know what?

00:34:01.000 Nah, nah, nah.

00:34:02.000 That shit was ass.

00:34:05.000 Why?

00:34:06.000 Why was it ass?

00:34:08.000 You have people that just like to do that.

00:34:11.000 Oh yeah, for sure.

00:34:12.000 And what happens when one person does it, another person for no reason all go, yeah, me too.

00:34:18.000 Yeah, that shit was ass, man.

00:34:20.000 I ain't like it either.

00:34:22.000 Did you see it?

00:34:23.000 What y'all talking about?

00:34:24.000 Ha!

00:34:25.000 You don't even know what they're talking about.

00:34:26.000 But you just want to hop on the negative train.

00:34:30.000 Right.

00:34:30.000 Because that's what's cool.

00:34:32.000 It's not cool to be positive.

00:34:34.000 It's not cool to be happy.

00:34:36.000 I don't know if it's a cool thing.

00:34:37.000 I think it's usually people that are really frustrated with their lives.

00:34:40.000 100%.

00:34:40.000 That's the factual side to it.

00:34:43.000 I did a joke before.

00:34:44.000 I was like, do you think Michael Jordan leaves YouTube comments?

00:34:47.000 I bet he doesn't.

00:34:48.000 No.

00:34:49.000 No.

00:34:51.000 That's not for winners.

00:34:52.000 No.

00:34:53.000 Not at all.

00:34:54.000 The type of people that want to get mad and complain constantly about shit like that.

00:34:57.000 Do you know what it takes to do this right here?

00:35:01.000 Not much.

00:35:02.000 Do you know?

00:35:02.000 Right here?

00:35:03.000 Yeah.

00:35:03.000 I'm going to tell you how I feel right in your comment section, Joe Rogan.

00:35:07.000 You can kiss my...

00:35:09.000 You know what that takes?

00:35:11.000 What do you have going on that you have the times?

00:35:14.000 To just simply be that negative and do it in this world and universe.

00:35:20.000 Just a mismanagement of your time.

00:35:22.000 Time.

00:35:22.000 Yeah, your time is so valuable.

00:35:25.000 And I don't think people understand how valuable they can be if they use their time correctly.

00:35:31.000 Yes.

00:35:32.000 Now, have you always been like this?

00:35:34.000 Have you always been this ambitious?

00:35:35.000 I'm a positive fucking guy, man.

00:35:37.000 But always?

00:35:38.000 Always.

00:35:38.000 Really?

00:35:39.000 I find a light in every dark tunnel.

00:35:44.000 I will find a goddamn light, man.

00:35:47.000 I hear it all.

00:35:48.000 Listen, when I tell you the weight on my back is so heavy of all the stuff that I deal with, and I'm fine.

00:35:53.000 The reason why I'm fine is because I'm genuinely happy.

00:35:58.000 I'm happy.

00:35:59.000 And I'm not happy just because of the success.

00:36:03.000 The success acts as a bonus.

00:36:05.000 I'm happy because I truly know the definition and the feeling that comes with happiness.

00:36:12.000 I truly know it.

00:36:14.000 I felt it.

00:36:15.000 I felt it when I said, yo, what really makes me happy?

00:36:18.000 And I look at Heaven and Hendrix and I look at Zoe.

00:36:21.000 I look at my wife.

00:36:22.000 I go, yo.

00:36:23.000 I didn't have the family shit when I was coming up.

00:36:27.000 Yo, I got one.

00:36:28.000 I got one.

00:36:30.000 Look what I done did.

00:36:31.000 Look what I built.

00:36:33.000 These people depend on me.

00:36:34.000 I provide for these people.

00:36:35.000 That makes me happy.

00:36:37.000 That makes me happy when my daughter comes up.

00:36:40.000 Dad.

00:36:41.000 You're not only my dad, you're my best friend.

00:36:43.000 Yo, I'm happy.

00:36:45.000 That's my world.

00:36:46.000 So everything else from the outside that comes in, you're throwing shit at a bubble that can't be popped.

00:36:56.000 It's a force field around me.

00:36:58.000 It's a force field around me because what matters, what really matters, loves me wholeheartedly.

00:37:04.000 And when you have that and you understand that, you're unbreakable.

00:37:10.000 So if you don't add to that force field, if you don't make my force field stronger, you don't get time from me.

00:37:19.000 My team, Heartbeat Productions, the people underneath my umbrella, you're a part of my force field.

00:37:25.000 You believe what I believe.

00:37:27.000 We all see the same things.

00:37:29.000 We want the same things.

00:37:32.000 So we march with the same beat.

00:37:35.000 You can't shake that.

00:37:39.000 When you're an individual that's seen that and understands that.

00:37:43.000 If you've never felt that, if you have no idea what that feels like, then it's easy to shake you.

00:37:49.000 That's why some people are easily broken.

00:37:53.000 Being broken is not a hard thing.

00:37:56.000 It's not a hard thing.

00:37:57.000 So those that do get broken, those that do get down, those that do get depressed, I understand.

00:38:03.000 I understand.

00:38:04.000 I don't knock people for it.

00:38:07.000 I don't knock anybody for it.

00:38:09.000 What I also understand is that the encouragement that can come from so many can add value for those that may need a little push.

00:38:19.000 That may need a little, hey man, pick your chin up.

00:38:22.000 It's so easy to be that positive reinforcement for somebody and add value.

00:38:28.000 It's so easy.

00:38:29.000 But some people choose to throw that aside and kick while you're down.

00:38:34.000 I try to put out the light of positivity because whoever's out there, I don't know what it could do for somebody else.

00:38:41.000 But somebody else may just simply look at me and say, yo, the way that he embraces his kids makes me want to be a better father.

00:38:46.000 Yo, the way that this man doesn't stop and the way that every day he wakes up and he's just positive regardless of what's going on makes me realize that this shit ain't so bad.

00:38:54.000 The way that he gets up and says, hey, today's another day.

00:38:58.000 It's a morning.

00:38:59.000 Let's all be better than we were yesterday.

00:39:01.000 Somebody probably needed to hear that.

00:39:03.000 The more that I can give that out and I can take my platform to throw good energy out, I'm doing my job.

00:39:10.000 Because there's so many that throw out the complete opposite.

00:39:14.000 I don't want to be a part of that.

00:39:16.000 That's beautiful, man.

00:39:17.000 And that's true!

00:39:18.000 I believe you.

00:39:19.000 It's not forced.

00:39:21.000 It's not phony.

00:39:22.000 It's not fake.

00:39:24.000 I get shit every day.

00:39:25.000 I hear shit every day.

00:39:28.000 It's very contagious, too.

00:39:29.000 I had a lady, I had a lady, right?

00:39:32.000 Lady rolled down a window.

00:39:35.000 Lady rolled down a window.

00:39:40.000 She goes, when you gonna make a good movie again?

00:39:47.000 I said, did you see the upside?

00:39:50.000 I thought the upside was good.

00:39:51.000 What's that?

00:39:52.000 Oh, shit.

00:39:54.000 It's a movie.

00:39:55.000 It's one of my movies that's out.

00:39:56.000 I think it's a good movie.

00:39:59.000 I didn't see that.

00:40:03.000 All right, ma'am.

00:40:04.000 You have a beautiful day.

00:40:05.000 That's hilarious.

00:40:06.000 All right.

00:40:07.000 That's it.

00:40:08.000 That's it?

00:40:09.000 That's it.

00:40:10.000 Yeah, all right.

00:40:11.000 Damn.

00:40:12.000 She asked the question with such conviction.

00:40:17.000 Like, literally.

00:40:17.000 Yeah.

00:40:17.000 By the way, I could have said a lot of shit.

00:40:19.000 Like, she rolled her window down.

00:40:20.000 You could tell she still had the crank.

00:40:22.000 So, I'm like, I could have said a lot of shit.

00:40:24.000 I didn't.

00:40:28.000 There's a lot of things that I can say to you, ma'am.

00:40:30.000 When are you going to make a good movie?

00:40:32.000 Head snapping.

00:40:34.000 I got one out.

00:40:35.000 The upside.

00:40:36.000 You see the upside?

00:40:37.000 What's that?

00:40:39.000 It's a movie.

00:40:40.000 It's out now.

00:40:41.000 Amazing that that's how she chooses to come at you.

00:40:43.000 I see it.

00:40:44.000 I get it.

00:40:45.000 She chooses to come at you with a negative.

00:40:47.000 I get it every day.

00:40:49.000 When are you going to be funny again?

00:40:50.000 I'm trying my best.

00:40:53.000 Trying my best.

00:40:54.000 If it's not working for you, hopefully I do better soon.

00:40:58.000 What am I going to feed into that?

00:41:02.000 Why?

00:41:03.000 Why?

00:41:04.000 Why?

00:41:05.000 For what?

00:41:06.000 Yeah.

00:41:07.000 For what?

00:41:08.000 It seems to have been working thus far.

00:41:11.000 Are you getting this positive attitude from life experience?

00:41:15.000 Are you getting it from books?

00:41:17.000 Did someone teach you how to think like this?

00:41:20.000 I'm getting it from the experiences and from the real understanding of perfection doesn't exist.

00:41:32.000 It don't exist, Joe.

00:41:35.000 We're in a time right now where people expect perfection.

00:41:40.000 You expect perfection.

00:41:41.000 I don't know where this came from.

00:41:42.000 I don't know what happened that this is the criteria for living.

00:41:47.000 My true understanding is, alright, you got one life.

00:41:51.000 And that one life, the goal for us is to live it to the best of our ability from the beginning to what's said at the end.

00:42:01.000 In the middle, in the beginning, middle, You're going to do things, you're going to make mistakes, you're going to fuck up.

00:42:08.000 You're supposed to learn and then move forward with the understanding of what not to do.

00:42:14.000 And when you move forward, life may get better, it may not, but somewhere along the lines it's going to click.

00:42:21.000 And everything that I went through back here was supposed to happen so that now that I'm here, I'm able to go ahead and With such a high level of knowledge.

00:42:33.000 And I can make other people better.

00:42:35.000 I can make myself better.

00:42:37.000 I can do more for my family.

00:42:38.000 Something happens.

00:42:40.000 My dad is the prime example.

00:42:42.000 Crazy drug addict.

00:42:43.000 In and out of jail.

00:42:45.000 Life was very bad.

00:42:47.000 Very fucking bad for my dad.

00:42:50.000 Son got successful.

00:42:52.000 Son then took money.

00:42:54.000 Gave it to his dad.

00:42:56.000 Here's your house.

00:42:57.000 Here's your truck.

00:42:58.000 Here's your monthly.

00:43:00.000 At this age, I want you to live your life.

00:43:03.000 You done made mistakes.

00:43:04.000 You can't rebuild and correct the things that you've done.

00:43:08.000 I'm your son.

00:43:09.000 I love you.

00:43:10.000 You can't go back and redo.

00:43:12.000 You can't try to keep going backwards.

00:43:15.000 Ain't about me.

00:43:16.000 You got grandkids.

00:43:18.000 Go be the best grandpop you can be for these grandkids.

00:43:20.000 That's your focus now.

00:43:22.000 Where's this energy devoted to?

00:43:23.000 Being a grandpop for the grandkids.

00:43:26.000 Don't worry about me.

00:43:27.000 But something happened in your life.

00:43:29.000 Something happened that took you in the direction to reap the benefits of your son's happiness and success.

00:43:37.000 My energy is now contagious enough and I hand it to you.

00:43:40.000 So now you're able to give that off to all these other people that you're around.

00:43:44.000 Something happens and that's in every single life.

00:43:48.000 In every life.

00:43:49.000 I understand that.

00:43:52.000 There's a payoff for bad eventually.

00:43:55.000 There's a payoff.

00:43:56.000 It can't be bad but for so long.

00:43:58.000 If you got the strength and the understanding to realize that, shit will change.

00:44:04.000 It will change.

00:44:05.000 It's impossible.

00:44:06.000 It's just like poker.

00:44:08.000 I don't know if you play poker or not.

00:44:09.000 I don't.

00:44:10.000 If you play poker, you can run bad forever, but it will eventually turn around once you grasp the understanding of the game.

00:44:18.000 Eventually, it's going to turn around.

00:44:20.000 Blackjack, you're never going to beat the casino, but eventually you're going to have a good run.

00:44:24.000 If you catch a run, you'll do good.

00:44:27.000 Get the fuck out of there.

00:44:28.000 You waited long enough for it to happen, here it come.

00:44:31.000 Catch it, leave.

00:44:33.000 Anything in life will eventually turn good.

00:44:37.000 No, but this is coming just from your own personal experiences.

00:44:40.000 You didn't have any role models that spoke to you this way?

00:44:43.000 Nancy Hart.

00:44:44.000 Did she speak to you like this?

00:44:45.000 About positivity and about...

00:44:47.000 My mom reinforced knowledge.

00:44:53.000 My mom reinforced, you don't start things and not finish them.

00:44:58.000 You don't quit.

00:45:00.000 There's nothing that comes out of quitting.

00:45:02.000 Okay.

00:45:02.000 Besides knowing that you didn't finish.

00:45:04.000 We finish everything.

00:45:06.000 You start it, finish it.

00:45:08.000 If you're going to do it, do it to try and be the best.

00:45:11.000 Not be better than other people, be the best for you.

00:45:15.000 If you're in school and you're going to class, I'm not asking you to get straight A's.

00:45:20.000 I'm asking you to get the best grade that you can possibly get.

00:45:24.000 Give me 100% all the time and I'm a happy mother.

00:45:29.000 When you half-ass me, I'm on your ass.

00:45:33.000 Mom, I want to do this.

00:45:35.000 I want to play baseball.

00:45:37.000 Well, then you're going to play.

00:45:39.000 Mom, I don't like that no more.

00:45:40.000 Then why'd you start the season?

00:45:42.000 Because I thought I wanted to do it.

00:45:43.000 Then you're going to finish the season.

00:45:44.000 You don't quit.

00:45:45.000 There's other people that invest the time and energy into you.

00:45:47.000 You don't just quit on people.

00:45:49.000 But I don't want to do it.

00:45:50.000 Finish the season.

00:45:52.000 Mom, I want to swim.

00:45:53.000 Then you're going to finish swimming.

00:45:54.000 It didn't matter what I did.

00:45:56.000 I was never allowed to quit.

00:45:58.000 So now in anything I do, when I pick it up and say I'm going to start it, I got to finish it.

00:46:03.000 It all don't work.

00:46:05.000 It all ain't the best.

00:46:08.000 It all ain't knocked out the park.

00:46:10.000 But I walk away saying I finished it.

00:46:13.000 I did it.

00:46:14.000 I did it.

00:46:16.000 Right now I've been boxing.

00:46:17.000 I saw.

00:46:18.000 I saw you working out with Rico Verhoeven.

00:46:20.000 I'm fucking...

00:46:21.000 First of all, very strong kicker.

00:46:23.000 He's a giant.

00:46:24.000 He's a giant man.

00:46:25.000 Huge man.

00:46:26.000 Huge man.

00:46:27.000 Okay?

00:46:27.000 He's a fucking beast, that guy.

00:46:28.000 He's a good guy, too, man.

00:46:30.000 Good guy.

00:46:31.000 But I started it...

00:46:31.000 Viking jeans.

00:46:32.000 I started it, and I said, why am I doing this?

00:46:36.000 I'm not going to be a professional fighter.

00:46:38.000 I'm not trying to be an amateur fighter.

00:46:40.000 I'm doing it to get in shape.

00:46:41.000 All right, then I started getting in shape, and I said...

00:46:44.000 So much that I don't know about the sport.

00:46:47.000 I at least want to make sure that I'm paying homage to the people that do this for a living by really understanding and learning it.

00:46:54.000 You know what?

00:46:55.000 I'm going to get a real trainer.

00:46:56.000 I'm going to get some real people to show me everything.

00:46:59.000 So when it's all said and done and I look back after my training, I can go, I gave it 100% and look at how good I got.

00:47:07.000 Look at what I'm a product of.

00:47:09.000 I spar.

00:47:10.000 I go get in the room.

00:47:11.000 Do you really?

00:47:12.000 Yeah, just to feel it.

00:47:13.000 So I can say I did it.

00:47:15.000 You know who else spars?

00:47:16.000 Brian Callen.

00:47:17.000 Is this you?

00:47:17.000 Are you serious?

00:47:18.000 No.

00:47:19.000 That's me.

00:47:19.000 Yeah, that's me.

00:47:20.000 Come on.

00:47:20.000 That's me.

00:47:21.000 Dude.

00:47:22.000 That's me.

00:47:23.000 It's getting there too.

00:47:24.000 Look at this.

00:47:27.000 Who is teaching you?

00:47:29.000 His name is Biggs.

00:47:30.000 He's in Atlanta.

00:47:31.000 That's me learning how to turtle shell within punches.

00:47:34.000 But, you know, he's a former Golden Glove guy.

00:47:37.000 Really good.

00:47:38.000 Dude, you were in a cup and everything.

00:47:40.000 Well, I was at the sparring session when I'm, like, real tired.

00:47:43.000 Damn.

00:47:43.000 Yeah, I got touched.

00:47:44.000 I got my ass whipped in every couple times.

00:47:46.000 Are you worried about that at all?

00:47:48.000 No, because I don't go crazy.

00:47:50.000 We headgear and I'm not in there.

00:47:52.000 Headgear is worse for you.

00:47:52.000 But I'm not in there with guys that are trying to hurt you.

00:47:55.000 Yes.

00:47:55.000 I'm not in there with guys that have no concept of reality or control.

00:48:00.000 They're just helping me understand.

00:48:03.000 Right.

00:48:03.000 Here's why you have to keep your hand up.

00:48:06.000 That is a problem with...

00:48:10.000 You know that's why Mickey Rourke started getting all that facial surgery?

00:48:13.000 Are you serious?

00:48:13.000 Yeah, he's sparring at James Toney.

00:48:15.000 Jesus Christ.

00:48:16.000 James Toney would beat the fucking shit out of him, man.

00:48:18.000 Well, that's just not a smart move right there.

00:48:21.000 It's James Toney's a mean man.

00:48:23.000 Yeah, that's just, you can't, like, I don't go in that space.

00:48:27.000 Have you ever seen James Toney talk shit while he spars?

00:48:30.000 No.

00:48:30.000 That's some of the most entertaining thing you'll ever find on YouTube.

00:48:32.000 He's just...

00:48:33.000 He just won't shut the fuck up.

00:48:35.000 The whole time.

00:48:35.000 While he's beating your ass, he's talking shit.

00:48:37.000 Come on, bitch.

00:48:38.000 Come on, bitch.

00:48:39.000 What you got, bitch?

00:48:39.000 Oh, this ain't shit.

00:48:40.000 That's hurtful.

00:48:41.000 That's hurtful.

00:48:42.000 And he's one of the best defensive fighters ever, so he's really difficult to hit.

00:48:47.000 He's got that shell going.

00:48:48.000 He's standing right in front of you, and you can't hit him.

00:48:50.000 It's the most frustrating thing in the world.

00:48:51.000 Yeah.

00:48:52.000 I had a guy that's a guy named Mikey I've been sparring with.

00:48:54.000 Mikey hit me with three punches.

00:48:58.000 I thought...

00:49:00.000 I thought Mikey literally had like six arms.

00:49:04.000 This is a true story.

00:49:06.000 I said, I don't know what just happened, but I thought I had my hands up.

00:49:10.000 And no matter where I put him, he just tapped me.

00:49:13.000 He lets me feel it, but not to where I might get knocked out.

00:49:16.000 But I understand now movement.

00:49:18.000 I understand pivots.

00:49:19.000 I understand shoulder protection.

00:49:21.000 And that's my goal.

00:49:22.000 My goal is just to understand.

00:49:23.000 Because I can't do anything halfway.

00:49:25.000 Right?

00:49:25.000 Kev, you trying to fight somebody?

00:49:26.000 Nope.

00:49:27.000 Right.

00:49:27.000 Nope.

00:49:28.000 I just want to say that I did it and I learned and I can move and I look the part because I put time into it.

00:49:33.000 Well, as you learn it too and as you watch it and you start to get trained, then you start to look at a guy like a Terrence Crawford or a Lomachenko and you go, oh, now I appreciate what you're doing.

00:49:44.000 Because before you'd see like, oh yeah, he beat that guy up.

00:49:47.000 Oh yeah, he knocked that guy out.

00:49:48.000 But then you see like how he ducks under the left and fires back with the right.

00:49:53.000 You're like, oh Jesus, this is precision.

00:49:55.000 It's insane.

00:49:56.000 The respect that I have for people that do that on a day-to-day is through the roof.

00:50:03.000 People that fight are in the most amazing shape in the universe.

00:50:08.000 You're in the most amazing shape ever.

00:50:11.000 To move, get hit, For three to five minutes.

00:50:16.000 Around.

00:50:17.000 Come back.

00:50:19.000 Do it.

00:50:20.000 Come back.

00:50:20.000 Do it.

00:50:21.000 And these fights go on and on and on.

00:50:23.000 I take my hat off to you.

00:50:25.000 You get three rounds out of me, I'm breathing out my butt.

00:50:28.000 I don't know where the air is coming from.

00:50:29.000 I'm searching for it.

00:50:31.000 It's a crazy way to make a living too, man.

00:50:33.000 To rely on your body and your brain like that.

00:50:35.000 Thank God I didn't have to go down that route.

00:50:38.000 And to those that do, just make sure you just put your body first.

00:50:42.000 Like you said, it's hurtful when you see the damage that it can cause.

00:50:46.000 Yeah, we were talking about that earlier, like seeing guys as they start to deteriorate.

00:50:50.000 And it's hard because nobody wants to tell them that either.

00:50:52.000 Everybody wants to tell them they got one more good fight in them.

00:50:56.000 Maybe at the end of the year, then we'll decide.

00:50:58.000 But right now, we're going to train hard.

00:51:00.000 That's tough.

00:51:01.000 It's hard too because there's no options.

00:51:03.000 Once you've established yourself as a professional fighter and you don't have an exit strategy, you don't know what to do, you know?

00:51:09.000 Now, at least thankfully because of the internet, guys are getting podcasts and they're starting doing commentary shows and they're talking about fighting.

00:51:17.000 It's the positive.

00:51:18.000 See what you just did there?

00:51:19.000 You just found the positive.

00:51:21.000 That's the positive within the internet.

00:51:23.000 There is positive, but you just don't hear it celebrated as much.

00:51:28.000 Well, the internet's very positive for me.

00:51:30.000 I mean, this is the show we do on the internet.

00:51:32.000 I mean, not just podcasts, but YouTube videos.

00:51:36.000 And also information.

00:51:37.000 I know more because of the internet than I ever would have without it.

00:51:41.000 There's not a doubt in my mind that I'm...

00:51:43.000 A more educated, more aware person.

00:51:47.000 Because of the internet.

00:51:48.000 Yeah.

00:51:48.000 The things that you're able to find and search.

00:51:50.000 And I mean, like you said, you're able to self-educate.

00:51:54.000 Yeah.

00:51:55.000 At a very high level.

00:51:56.000 These are the goods.

00:51:57.000 Yeah.

00:51:58.000 We're talking about the goods.

00:51:59.000 So when you talk about positive, Kevin, how have you been?

00:52:01.000 Yeah.

00:52:01.000 Are you always like that?

00:52:02.000 It's this.

00:52:03.000 It's the things that I look at that are so easy.

00:52:05.000 You're not just positive, though.

00:52:06.000 You're like crazy ambitious.

00:52:08.000 That's the thing that gets me about you and The Rock.

00:52:10.000 For sure.

00:52:11.000 It's like the ambitions off the charts.

00:52:12.000 Like, I know you're rich as fuck.

00:52:14.000 Like, when do you think you got enough?

00:52:16.000 You don't have enough.

00:52:17.000 There's no enough.

00:52:18.000 I don't have enough because it's not over.

00:52:20.000 It's not over.

00:52:21.000 It's not over.

00:52:22.000 So, you know, when you put a cap on it, you're putting a punctuation to it.

00:52:27.000 And the ambition comes...

00:52:33.000 From seeing what's out there that can be obtained.

00:52:37.000 You know, when you see what's out there...

00:52:41.000 You mean physical things?

00:52:42.000 When you see what's out there, when you see...

00:52:45.000 Where people are really gaining wealth and knowledge from, okay?

00:52:52.000 The business relationships that you're able to acquire, the people that you're able to partner with and create certain things, different revenue streams.

00:53:04.000 What I found is, as a young black guy from North Philadelphia, the biggest problem with The biggest problem within our community is knowledge.

00:53:17.000 We don't know.

00:53:19.000 Debt is welcomed because it's celebrated.

00:53:22.000 That's all we know.

00:53:24.000 Yeah, nah, I'm going to get that credit card.

00:53:25.000 I'm going to fuck that credit card up and it is what it is.

00:53:28.000 They got to figure that out.

00:53:29.000 I ain't got it after that.

00:53:31.000 Yeah, well, you know what?

00:53:32.000 I'm getting student loans.

00:53:33.000 They gave it to me.

00:53:33.000 Then after that, shit, it is what it is.

00:53:35.000 I'm going to figure it out.

00:53:36.000 I put a cable bill in your name.

00:53:38.000 You put it in my name.

00:53:39.000 We can switch it up.

00:53:40.000 Whatever.

00:53:40.000 They do it.

00:53:41.000 Let's just put it in somebody else's name.

00:53:42.000 It's welcome.

00:53:43.000 The hustle is welcome.

00:53:46.000 The knowledge of banks and what you can do or can't do is fucking...

00:53:51.000 You don't even get it because you go to check cashing places.

00:53:54.000 The reason why you go to check cashing places is because I don't want to go through that shit with the banks.

00:53:57.000 I don't trust that.

00:53:58.000 Go right there to check cashing places.

00:53:59.000 Let me get mine.

00:53:59.000 Let me get mine now.

00:54:00.000 Take $30, whatever.

00:54:01.000 Let me get it.

00:54:03.000 The knowledge isn't given.

00:54:04.000 So it's not until you obtain that knowledge and understanding that you go, oh, shit.

00:54:09.000 Oh, this is why you put money up.

00:54:12.000 Oh, this is how you increase versus decrease.

00:54:17.000 Oh, this is how you earn on your money.

00:54:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:54:21.000 I can gain wealth by investing in what?

00:54:24.000 The stock world is what?

00:54:26.000 How many people partake in the stock world?

00:54:29.000 And is there a part that isn't necessarily gambling?

00:54:31.000 Is there a low-risk part?

00:54:33.000 The information isn't there.

00:54:36.000 So that's why I got to a certain level and a certain group of people where I got it.

00:54:40.000 And now that I got it, I want to give it.

00:54:42.000 So now I'm going to give it to the people that I know need it most.

00:54:48.000 And for me, that younger generation of black people That don't understand the cool thing is in financial longevity.

00:54:57.000 Not in the now.

00:54:59.000 It's not in the moment for jewelry.

00:55:01.000 Not in the moment for the car.

00:55:02.000 It's in the longevity.

00:55:04.000 It's in building so at the end of the day you can say, look at what I have.

00:55:07.000 Look at what I worked for.

00:55:09.000 Look at what I have that's mine.

00:55:11.000 Monopoly is real.

00:55:12.000 But you have to have the financial understanding.

00:55:15.000 And I teamed up.

00:55:17.000 I got Chase right now.

00:55:18.000 We're doing something called Financial Fitness.

00:55:19.000 Where it's just about me educating people on money.

00:55:23.000 Really?

00:55:23.000 How to manage money.

00:55:24.000 How to be smart with your money.

00:55:26.000 But it's coming from a person that fucked up money.

00:55:28.000 I didn't always understand it.

00:55:31.000 I owed in taxes before because I didn't understand it in the beginning.

00:55:34.000 I had bad credit.

00:55:36.000 Credit cards wouldn't take me because I maxed out.

00:55:39.000 Whatever.

00:55:40.000 I've been there.

00:55:40.000 I've done it.

00:55:41.000 Thank God I was able to fix it and get on the right path.

00:55:44.000 And now that I have the knowledge, I want to give it.

00:55:46.000 We simply don't know.

00:55:48.000 So when you say the end game, the end game is getting to a point where I've taken all the knowledge that I've been able to get over these years and really applying it and providing family wealth.

00:56:01.000 When it's all said and done, the last name Hart is going to mean just more, a lot more than just Kevin Hart in comedy.

00:56:08.000 You've got Heartbeat Productions.

00:56:10.000 You've got Heartbeat Digital.

00:56:10.000 You've got Heartbeat Ventures.

00:56:12.000 You've got Heartbeat Real Estate.

00:56:13.000 There's so many things that the last name Heart will be attached to.

00:56:17.000 You sell real estate?

00:56:18.000 Kevin Hart doesn't sell real estate.

00:56:20.000 I buy real estate.

00:56:21.000 I like how you talk about yourself in the third person.

00:56:22.000 I'm sorry about that.

00:56:23.000 I don't sell it.

00:56:25.000 I buy it.

00:56:26.000 But the reason why is because...

00:56:28.000 Investment.

00:56:29.000 But as you get older, you learn this.

00:56:32.000 You learn it.

00:56:34.000 And it's such a thing when you talk about black versus white.

00:56:38.000 A lot of people do that.

00:56:40.000 And rightfully so.

00:56:41.000 There is racism.

00:56:42.000 Racism exists.

00:56:43.000 I'm not unaware of that.

00:56:45.000 But there is a high volume of it that's non-existent to people that are good people.

00:56:51.000 And when you can merge yourself with good people and follow the paths that you see that these good, successful people have taken...

00:57:01.000 You then become a part of a world and group that nobody expected you to be in.

00:57:05.000 So for me, I now have the position to do that and take all of these relationships and all this knowledge and take it back to the people that need it most.

00:57:12.000 I like to share.

00:57:13.000 I don't want it all by myself.

00:57:14.000 Now, are you doing this, the financial stuff, are you doing this in videos?

00:57:18.000 Are you releasing videos?

00:57:19.000 Not in videos, no.

00:57:20.000 How are they doing it?

00:57:21.000 We're going to start financial fitness, like I said, with Chase.

00:57:24.000 J.B. Morgan Chase.

00:57:26.000 Jamie Dimon, very good guy.

00:57:28.000 Tashanda as well.

00:57:29.000 They're help leading in charge and just saying...

00:57:32.000 How can we get to the people that we feel need the financial information the most?

00:57:37.000 So I said, put me out there.

00:57:40.000 Let's go directly to the consumer.

00:57:42.000 So from colleges, from high schools, senior classes, junior classes, going out and talking to people before they go into the next stages of their life about the things that you should know.

00:57:54.000 So you're going to speak to them?

00:57:56.000 Yeah, and just share personal information.

00:57:58.000 Are you going to put this stuff online as well, though?

00:58:00.000 Yeah.

00:58:01.000 Yeah, you'll be able to track and find content from it, but I'm authentic.

00:58:04.000 So I said the best way to really do it is to put me in a position to be heard.

00:58:08.000 I want to be heard.

00:58:10.000 It's a different story.

00:58:11.000 What I explained to the people of JPMorgan Chase just when we were talking about this, and there's an amazing board of people that are just figuring this out and the best way to go and do it.

00:58:23.000 And I said, you can't have the white guy that's never been I'm not listening to you from the gate because you don't relate.

00:58:45.000 I don't relate to you.

00:58:46.000 But throwing somebody in a situation that's lived it, that's been in it.

00:58:51.000 That's been fucked up in it, made it out of it, and is now coming back to help.

00:58:56.000 Right.

00:58:56.000 It's a different ballgame.

00:58:58.000 And that's what I want to be.

00:58:59.000 And, you know, we have other voices outside of myself, very powerful voices that are going to do it as well.

00:59:05.000 But the purpose is to align ourselves to really make a change.

00:59:09.000 So you can either be the conversation about making change, or you can be actual a part of the action to do it.

00:59:14.000 I want to be a part of the action.

00:59:16.000 And in doing it, you'll also be able to understand my drive.

00:59:20.000 You'll get why I do so much.

00:59:22.000 You'll get why my hand is in so much.

00:59:25.000 Because I have access to it.

00:59:27.000 And the question should be, why not?

00:59:29.000 The question shouldn't be, yo, why is he doing everything?

00:59:31.000 It should be, why aren't you?

00:59:33.000 Why aren't you trying to do everything?

00:59:35.000 Why not?

00:59:36.000 Well, that's the thing about a guy like you.

00:59:37.000 That becomes contagious.

00:59:39.000 Like what you were saying about surrounding yourself with positive people and people that are constantly ambitious and there's fuel to that.

00:59:45.000 You feel good about that.

00:59:46.000 That's what you're doing.

00:59:48.000 It's beautiful.

00:59:48.000 I can say seeing you here, right?

00:59:52.000 We walked around.

00:59:54.000 You showed me your facility.

00:59:55.000 Loved it.

00:59:56.000 Beautiful facility.

00:59:57.000 You talked to me about how your podcast has grown to where you are now and the success behind it.

01:00:04.000 I don't leave here and go, yo, that's dope as shit.

01:00:08.000 I go, hey, I need to do more work on my radio station.

01:00:12.000 Laugh Out Loud Radio, I own it.

01:00:14.000 It's mine.

01:00:15.000 I got a show on there, but you know what?

01:00:16.000 Joe fucking motivated me to do more.

01:00:20.000 I want to make sure that we understand really what's out here within this radio world because I just saw my guy in his space and I saw how happy he is with the success that he has.

01:00:31.000 I don't want to be you or beat you.

01:00:33.000 I want to take this energy and apply it to myself.

01:00:38.000 That's the purpose of seeing.

01:00:40.000 Yeah.

01:00:40.000 That's the purpose of being smart with your eyeballs.

01:00:43.000 You should be a sponge.

01:00:44.000 So I'm a sponge.

01:00:45.000 So I come here and I look at how you maneuver.

01:00:48.000 I look at your setup.

01:00:49.000 I not only bow down and congratulate you, I leave and I say, yo, man, I'm inspired, dude.

01:00:54.000 That's dope as hell.

01:00:55.000 Joe, I can't wait in two years.

01:00:56.000 You're going to come and you're going to see my shit.

01:00:58.000 You remember I said I was inspired, but you're going to see what I let it grow into.

01:01:02.000 That's the proper way.

01:01:04.000 To get encouraged and motivated.

01:01:06.000 Right, as opposed to being a hater.

01:01:07.000 A hater and competitive and I'm going to beat you.

01:01:11.000 It's not a competition.

01:01:12.000 Yeah, I'm not interested in that either.

01:01:13.000 I share the exact same feelings.

01:01:15.000 It's not a competition at all.

01:01:17.000 If you don't have people like that that are inspiring around you, you might not know how positive it is and how powerful it is.

01:01:24.000 If you see someone that's on television or on social media and you see them, it's hard to be inspired.

01:01:31.000 You don't know them.

01:01:33.000 I can say, look at your circle, right?

01:01:39.000 And in your circle, if the conversation is all about what we hate, I can't stand that song.

01:01:47.000 You see that new fucking car came out?

01:01:49.000 Okay, that shit is ass.

01:01:50.000 I can't stand that fucking car.

01:01:52.000 Yo, man, I can't stand this city.

01:01:55.000 Why the fuck we even in this city?

01:01:57.000 What we eating?

01:01:58.000 I hate that place.

01:02:00.000 It's so easy.

01:02:01.000 People don't even listen to it.

01:02:02.000 It's so easy.

01:02:03.000 It can be the smallest shit in the world.

01:02:05.000 The smallest shit, but if it's always hate, I can't stand these fucking headphones.

01:02:09.000 Why we got these headphones?

01:02:10.000 I hate these.

01:02:12.000 Fucking hardware tape.

01:02:13.000 Why is this here?

01:02:14.000 I can't stand this hardware tape.

01:02:15.000 I hate hardware.

01:02:16.000 Why couldn't you get a regular tape?

01:02:17.000 I fucking hate this shit.

01:02:19.000 Fucking chairs.

01:02:19.000 You ain't got better chairs?

01:02:20.000 I hate these chairs.

01:02:21.000 It's so easy.

01:02:22.000 Right.

01:02:22.000 It's so easy.

01:02:22.000 It's so easy to talk about hate.

01:02:25.000 Yeah.

01:02:26.000 And so many people don't realize that in a group, You do it.

01:02:29.000 You ping pong hate off of one another.

01:02:31.000 Yeah.

01:02:32.000 Unless it's funny.

01:02:33.000 It can be funny hate.

01:02:34.000 Sometimes it can be good hate.

01:02:36.000 Funny hate is just between yourselves.

01:02:39.000 Like Patrice?

01:02:40.000 Patrice was one of the best.

01:02:42.000 Funny hate.

01:02:43.000 One of the best funny haters.

01:02:45.000 Okay.

01:02:46.000 You bring up a good point.

01:02:48.000 Comedic hate.

01:02:49.000 It's a different kind of hate.

01:02:50.000 It's a different kind of hate.

01:02:51.000 Comedic hate.

01:02:52.000 Rest in peace, Patrice O'Neal.

01:02:54.000 Rest in peace.

01:02:55.000 Probably the best.

01:02:57.000 Patrice used to do...

01:03:00.000 I remember when I would talk, and if I was saying something, you would just hear...

01:03:09.000 What?

01:03:09.000 What are you talking about?

01:03:10.000 He's like, ugh.

01:03:11.000 What?

01:03:12.000 What are you talking about?

01:03:12.000 He's like, just the way you talk bugs me.

01:03:16.000 I was like, what?

01:03:18.000 Your voice.

01:03:20.000 Everything about your voice just makes me want to punch you in the face.

01:03:24.000 I was like, what are you talking about?

01:03:26.000 He's like, ugh.

01:03:28.000 When he would go after you, too, it kind of made you feel good, too.

01:03:32.000 Like, if you're a comic, especially if you're a comic, like, I called Opie and Anthony once, I was talking to them, and Anthony, Anthony always has a gun on him.

01:03:40.000 He carries a gun everywhere.

01:03:41.000 Like, he has a concealed carry permit and shit, and I said to him, I said, do you ever worry that maybe you're putting out this energy and you're manifesting something, like some sort of an attack on you, because you're constantly dwelling on it, and you always have this gun?

01:03:57.000 And Patrice goes, Joe believe in magic.

01:04:01.000 Joe believe in conjuring up the world.

01:04:04.000 Hey man, a positive energy just starts laughing.

01:04:08.000 See, he is magic.

01:04:09.000 Joe's magic.

01:04:13.000 And I'm like, ah!

01:04:14.000 When he would go after you, man, it's like you just want to step back and watch.

01:04:18.000 I remember he got Bill Burr so mad one time.

01:04:21.000 Oh, Bill used to get so fucking mad.

01:04:23.000 Beautiful thing about Bill Burr, but we'd be snapping.

01:04:26.000 Bill was the guy that'd get mad.

01:04:27.000 It's not funny!

01:04:29.000 If you went after him.

01:04:31.000 None of it's funny.

01:04:32.000 Y'all laughing?

01:04:34.000 Where's the punchline in it?

01:04:36.000 There's no punchline.

01:04:37.000 He'll get so fucking mad.

01:04:39.000 The Comedy Cellar, the days that we had there, man, Bill Burr, Patrice O'Neal, Keith Robinson, Jim Norton, Colin Quinn, myself, when I say we would sit at this table and We would sit at this table for four to five hours and it would be nothing but beautiful trash-ins to one another.

01:05:02.000 When I say they used to give me so much shit, that's probably why it's so hard to bother me now.

01:05:08.000 The trash-ins that I took from the age 20 to 24...

01:05:13.000 In my young comedic career about how awful I was.

01:05:17.000 I had a joke way in the beginning of my career.

01:05:21.000 Let me preface this.

01:05:23.000 This was way in the beginning of my career.

01:05:27.000 This was a joke that I had about little people.

01:05:32.000 Midgets at the time.

01:05:33.000 It was so bad.

01:05:35.000 I got robbed by a cross-eyed midget.

01:05:39.000 The joke was, I didn't know he was robbing me because I was with somebody else.

01:05:44.000 He was looking at my friend, but he was robbing me.

01:05:48.000 It was like a play on being cross-eyed.

01:05:50.000 It was a very, very awful joke.

01:05:52.000 I remember telling this joke and a phone book comes flying on the stage.

01:06:00.000 Patrice threw a fucking phone book at me.

01:06:04.000 I'm talking, this is the way at the Boston Comedy Club.

01:06:07.000 It's people in a crowd.

01:06:08.000 Tiny little place.

01:06:09.000 All you heard was...

01:06:12.000 And you see, bap!

01:06:13.000 It hits the floor.

01:06:15.000 And I say, yo, what the fuck was that?

01:06:17.000 And Patrice said, read it!

01:06:19.000 There's better material in it than what you're saying now.

01:06:26.000 Crowd starts laughing.

01:06:28.000 He's, ugh!

01:06:29.000 When I say, they used to trash me so bad.

01:06:33.000 So bad, man.

01:06:35.000 Get your legendary Patrice a new story.

01:06:37.000 I caught Patrice jerking off in my house before.

01:06:40.000 This is...

01:06:41.000 This is, I moved to LA. I'm staying in the two bedroom apartment.

01:06:45.000 I just got there.

01:06:46.000 Patrice is coming out.

01:06:47.000 I said, yo, you need to play sex.

01:06:48.000 I got two bedrooms.

01:06:49.000 You can come there.

01:06:50.000 This is my ex-wife at the time.

01:06:52.000 You know, I come home.

01:06:54.000 It's like afternoon.

01:06:55.000 I was like, Patrice.

01:06:58.000 I'm like, yo, you home?

01:07:00.000 Patrice.

01:07:02.000 Patrice.

01:07:03.000 I go in the back.

01:07:04.000 Open up the door.

01:07:06.000 I had this big ass computer.

01:07:09.000 Oh, All I see is his back hunched over.

01:07:14.000 It's like baby oil right here.

01:07:19.000 And I come in.

01:07:19.000 I'm like, yo, what you doing?

01:07:20.000 He's like, yo, get out.

01:07:21.000 Get out.

01:07:22.000 Are you jerking off of my house, man?

01:07:27.000 He's so sick.

01:07:29.000 He's so fucking sick that he didn't stop.

01:07:32.000 He's like, get out.

01:07:33.000 Get out.

01:07:34.000 Get out.

01:07:37.000 He was so concerned with finishing that he didn't even break stride.

01:07:42.000 He didn't turn around, acknowledge me nothing.

01:07:44.000 Get out!

01:07:45.000 Get out!

01:07:45.000 You just saw his back hunched.

01:07:46.000 He came out like seven minutes later.

01:07:50.000 He was like, my bad.

01:07:50.000 I didn't know he was coming home.

01:07:51.000 Didn't even acknowledge me nothing.

01:07:56.000 Fucking Patrice, man.

01:07:57.000 I love him to death.

01:07:59.000 Love him to death.

01:08:00.000 Yeah, he had the most don't give a fuck of any comic I ever met.

01:08:04.000 The most.

01:08:05.000 100%.

01:08:06.000 Good and bad, though.

01:08:07.000 There was good to it and there was also some bad to...

01:08:11.000 A lot of things that didn't happen for Patrice probably could have happened, but I think the level of not give a fuck prevented some of those things.

01:08:20.000 Well, he was almost too authentic.

01:08:22.000 Yes.

01:08:24.000 Did you ever see that?

01:08:25.000 Was it Charlie Sheen's roast?

01:08:27.000 Whose roast was it that he did where he just tortured everybody else that was on the roast with him?

01:08:31.000 And then he got up there and afterwards...

01:08:34.000 You motherfuckers aren't on my level.

01:08:36.000 Why am I here?

01:08:37.000 Why am I here?

01:08:38.000 I shouldn't even be here with you guys.

01:08:40.000 Who the fuck is this bitch?

01:08:42.000 Oh my god.

01:08:44.000 Patrice has so many of those things.

01:08:47.000 So many things.

01:08:48.000 One of the best to do it.

01:08:50.000 If you are listening, you're not educated on Patrice O'Neal.

01:08:53.000 I ask that you just watch Elephant in the Room, one of his specials.

01:08:59.000 Some of the funniest shit ever, man.

01:09:01.000 And so insightful.

01:09:02.000 He was so wise.

01:09:04.000 Very smart.

01:09:05.000 The way people thought and behaved, he would say shit.

01:09:07.000 Like one of the things that he said that I tell people all the time, it's a brilliant thing that he said.

01:09:12.000 It was, I forget what controversy it was, but he was on television with some woman.

01:09:18.000 It was saying that you should never tell jokes about certain things.

01:09:22.000 They were getting mad at someone.

01:09:24.000 I think it was Opie and Anthony about a joke.

01:09:26.000 And he said, you've got to understand that all jokes come from the same place.

01:09:29.000 The ones you like and the ones you don't like.

01:09:32.000 The ones that make you laugh and the ones that make you mad.

01:09:34.000 They all come from the same place.

01:09:35.000 Someone's just trying to be funny.

01:09:37.000 Sometimes they just don't work.

01:09:38.000 I had a talk with...

01:09:43.000 I forgot her name.

01:09:45.000 I forgot her name, but it was when I was doing all the promo for Upside and they kept trying to break down where the jokes come from.

01:09:56.000 Kevin, these insensitive jokes that you told back then.

01:10:01.000 Why?

01:10:03.000 Why would you even say those things?

01:10:05.000 And the hardest thing for me to explain, I was like, do you think people think of jokes and while thinking of them, think that they're not going to be funny?

01:10:17.000 Everything that you think of in a joke form, you're thinking of it because you think you're going to get a laugh behind it.

01:10:23.000 The gamble is, if I get to laugh versus not get to laugh.

01:10:27.000 If I don't get to laugh, the joke was not funny.

01:10:31.000 If I get a laugh, then I guess I'm on to something.

01:10:33.000 There isn't a bunch of thought that goes into the funny moments that we think may be great bits.

01:10:39.000 I wish that I had a more logical answer to put behind it.

01:10:43.000 I said, but I don't, especially at that time in my career.

01:10:46.000 I just thought it would be funny.

01:10:48.000 The same way that some people think certain jokes are funny that aren't funny.

01:10:51.000 It's a thought.

01:10:52.000 Comedians are constantly throwing shit out there.

01:10:55.000 You're constantly rolling the dice and throwing shit out there.

01:10:58.000 Half the shit you roll ain't good.

01:11:01.000 It's not going to be good.

01:11:02.000 The other half may be alright.

01:11:05.000 May be kind of good.

01:11:06.000 But it's all with the intent of entertaining.

01:11:10.000 It's not with the intent of being malicious.

01:11:12.000 It's not with the intent of sparking hatred.

01:11:15.000 It's all trying to make you laugh.

01:11:18.000 That's it.

01:11:19.000 It's literally that simple from a thought within a comedian's mind.

01:11:24.000 Nothing else.

01:11:27.000 And they kept trying to look for this hard definition of why.

01:11:32.000 And I was like, I don't have it.

01:11:35.000 I don't have the reason why.

01:11:38.000 I thought it would be funny, and it wasn't.

01:11:42.000 That's the downfall.

01:11:43.000 That's it.

01:11:44.000 That's it.

01:11:45.000 And the thing is about this art form is that up until 10, 15 years ago, there was never any discussion like this.

01:11:52.000 It wasn't...

01:11:53.000 So when we developed and when we were coming up, there was never...

01:11:57.000 It was just like...

01:11:57.000 And there was always guys that would push the envelope way too far.

01:12:00.000 He'd be like, Jesus Christ, you see his new bit?

01:12:02.000 What the fuck?

01:12:03.000 And you'd be laughing.

01:12:04.000 You'd tell it to each other and be like...

01:12:06.000 And it didn't matter what it...

01:12:08.000 There's a joke about murder or rape or whatever.

01:12:10.000 Some people just, they choose those dark subjects.

01:12:13.000 It's like they're trying to make us laugh.

01:12:15.000 Yeah.

01:12:16.000 The comedian's comedian.

01:12:18.000 There's always going to be those.

01:12:19.000 Where you're just in the back, you go, ooh.

01:12:21.000 Do you know Brian Holtzman?

01:12:22.000 100%.

01:12:22.000 Yeah.

01:12:22.000 Brian Holtzman's that guy.

01:12:24.000 100%.

01:12:24.000 He's one of my funniest dudes.

01:12:26.000 And there's no way that I could say.

01:12:30.000 Some of the stuff that I heard him say.

01:12:32.000 Do you remember Susan Smith, that lady who drowned her kids?

01:12:35.000 I know who you're talking about, and I know the moment, but I'm not familiar with all that involves.

01:12:44.000 Holtzman was on stage that week, and he's like...

01:12:48.000 I heard those kids were bad.

01:12:49.000 I heard they sat that close to the TV. They never put away their blocks.

01:12:53.000 They always spilt their milk.

01:12:54.000 Those kids will not be missed.

01:12:55.000 And you were just like, what in the fuck?

01:12:58.000 It was like 9-11 when 9-11 happened.

01:13:00.000 They wouldn't let him on stage.

01:13:02.000 Mitzi Shore would not let him on stage for months after 9-11.

01:13:06.000 She's like, no way.

01:13:07.000 Keep him off the stage.

01:13:08.000 I mean, do you have the people that just are...

01:13:12.000 They go for that.

01:13:14.000 They go for it because they want to hear you howling in the back of the room.

01:13:17.000 They know that, like, if it's, you know, comics are there in the back of the room, they're going to laugh their fucking ass off at that shit.

01:13:23.000 And, you know, it's weird because right now within The Times, I'm the comedian that chooses to be sensitive to The Times.

01:13:34.000 You know, I've made the choice to say, I understand.

01:13:39.000 I get why you shouldn't say certain things or why you should avoid this, that, or this.

01:13:46.000 I understand and I am.

01:13:48.000 But then there's other comedians that go, you know what?

01:13:52.000 I'm on stage and I'm going to be me and I'm not going to do that because people are telling me that this is what I... And do that.

01:14:02.000 That just exists.

01:14:04.000 It just exists.

01:14:05.000 But I think it's easier to just say, I'm not a fan.

01:14:09.000 That comedy isn't for me.

01:14:12.000 You know what?

01:14:13.000 I don't like the taste of this particular comedian, so I'm not going to support or watch that comedian.

01:14:19.000 I'm going to find another comedian that's more to my liking.

01:14:22.000 I'm going to go and just turn my head.

01:14:25.000 I want us to get back to just understanding that you just don't have to support it.

01:14:30.000 Yeah.

01:14:31.000 That's it.

01:14:32.000 Well, there's a lot of fucking options.

01:14:33.000 I mean, there's so many.

01:14:35.000 Today?

01:14:36.000 Yeah, there's so many.

01:14:37.000 There's never been more.

01:14:37.000 Never been more comics.

01:14:38.000 There's so many.

01:14:40.000 Think about how many people are doing Netflix specials today.

01:14:42.000 There's so many.

01:14:42.000 There's never been more.

01:14:43.000 It's so many.

01:14:44.000 Crazy.

01:14:45.000 So, I don't understand why there's a push to destroy, which you just don't have to support or like.

01:14:52.000 I think it's just a bunch of people that have an ability to influence things now that didn't have an ability before.

01:14:57.000 And it's like they see a window and they want to throw a rock.

01:15:00.000 It's right there.

01:15:01.000 Makes sense.

01:15:02.000 I think there's something there.

01:15:03.000 But I also think for us...

01:15:06.000 For me in particular, I really like fucked up comedy.

01:15:10.000 I like Quentin Tarantino movies where people get shot and killed.

01:15:14.000 I don't want anybody to get shot and killed in real life, but I like fucked up comedy.

01:15:18.000 Do you know who Tim Dillon is?

01:15:20.000 Yes, I do.

01:15:21.000 Pull up that fucking video of him being Meghan McCain.

01:15:25.000 Have you seen this?

01:15:26.000 No.

01:15:26.000 I'm laughing already though.

01:15:28.000 He is a savage dude.

01:15:29.000 He goes so hard.

01:15:31.000 But I saw this video.

01:15:33.000 Tears are rolling down my eyes.

01:15:34.000 I was crying.

01:15:35.000 And I was like, okay, this guy's needed.

01:15:37.000 We need this right now.

01:15:39.000 Because during this political correct push, you got this big giant gay dude who doesn't give a fuck.

01:15:45.000 He's an animal, man.

01:15:46.000 Watch this shit.

01:15:49.000 My father died, I had a baby with him.

01:15:51.000 And it will be raised in captivity.

01:15:53.000 It will be raised privately to be the greatest politician that has ever lived.

01:15:58.000 My name is Meghan McCain and I'm on a news show called You.

01:16:01.000 And Donald Trump, that fucking riverboat casino captain, is talking shit about my father again.

01:16:06.000 My father was tortured for a hundred years for this fucking country.

01:16:10.000 And he came back and he started seven wars because he's a gentleman.

01:16:14.000 Fuck you, Trump.

01:16:16.000 I'm going to wear my father's skin mask and I'm going to primary Trump from the right.

01:16:20.000 Come on The View, bitch.

01:16:22.000 If you're that tough, come on The View.

01:16:24.000 You want an Alexander Casio Cortes?

01:16:27.000 You want this shit?

01:16:28.000 You want to fuck these tits, Trump?

01:16:30.000 You want to fuck these tits?

01:16:32.000 No, you don't.

01:16:33.000 You want to suck cops.

01:16:34.000 But I won't fuck you because the only person I'll fuck is daddy.

01:16:38.000 I'll fuck his corpse.

01:16:40.000 I'll fuck daddy's corpse.

01:16:42.000 Before my father died, I had a baby.

01:16:45.000 Wait a minute.

01:16:46.000 He's an animal, bro.

01:16:48.000 He's an animal.

01:16:49.000 Wait a minute.

01:16:50.000 He's wearing, folks, you don't know, he's wearing lipstick and a wig and he's smoking a cigarette in a dress and he's all of 300 pounds.

01:16:58.000 He's such a fucking animal.

01:17:00.000 He is such a fucking animal.

01:17:03.000 You want to fuck teeth?

01:17:07.000 No, you told me you just want to suck on.

01:17:10.000 I don't want to fuck you because I only fucked daddy.

01:17:12.000 Oh my goodness.

01:17:15.000 That's pretty damn...

01:17:17.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:17:18.000 It's out there.

01:17:19.000 They need that guy.

01:17:20.000 We need him.

01:17:21.000 It's out there.

01:17:22.000 We need guys like that.

01:17:23.000 I mean, the beautiful thing of what we were just talking about, what we said is like, it's just, it's very easy to just say, you know what, that's not for me, and find what it is.

01:17:35.000 Or to say, that's for me.

01:17:37.000 Yes, everybody's humor is different.

01:17:40.000 I laughed, I laughed, there's a...

01:17:44.000 There's a viral video of this old guy trying to hoverboard.

01:17:51.000 He's like, fuck, he's got to be like 69, 70. And his grandkids are there, and he's like, let me try it, let me try it.

01:18:01.000 And this man gets on this hoverboard.

01:18:05.000 If you saw Mike Tyson fall on the hoverboard, his fall was worse than Mike Tyson's.

01:18:11.000 I've never seen somebody hit their head harder in my life.

01:18:17.000 And I didn't laugh out of wanting to see this old man hurt himself.

01:18:23.000 I laughed because it was stupid to try to get on this hoverboard in the first place.

01:18:29.000 And when he got up, he tells the kids, why is it moving like that?

01:18:39.000 Played this video for everybody because that shit made me laugh.

01:18:44.000 Some people were watching and go, oh no, no.

01:18:47.000 Some people were watching and go, oh, oh, oh.

01:18:51.000 And others would just die fucking laughing because everybody's humor is different.

01:18:55.000 Everybody's fucking humor is different.

01:18:57.000 My humor is different.

01:18:58.000 Falling makes me laugh.

01:18:59.000 I don't care who you are.

01:19:01.000 Falling makes me laugh.

01:19:03.000 I don't give a shit who you are.

01:19:04.000 If you fall in front of me, No shot I'm holding that laugh at.

01:19:08.000 There's no shot.

01:19:09.000 There's no shot.

01:19:10.000 You don't stand a chance.

01:19:11.000 If you fall in front of me, there's no shot that I'm not...

01:19:16.000 Ha!

01:19:17.000 Ha!

01:19:18.000 Bust your ass!

01:19:19.000 Something's got to come out.

01:19:20.000 Right.

01:19:21.000 Falling is funny.

01:19:22.000 I still think...

01:19:24.000 It's hacky.

01:19:25.000 I still think farts are funny.

01:19:26.000 When my kids fart, I laugh.

01:19:27.000 I still...

01:19:28.000 Until this day, it's the funniest shit ever to me.

01:19:30.000 Come on, stop it, baby.

01:19:31.000 You stink.

01:19:31.000 Get out of here.

01:19:32.000 Stank ass.

01:19:33.000 My little son.

01:19:34.000 17 months.

01:19:35.000 When he farted, I laughed.

01:19:36.000 Something within just the ability to just be fucking silly and stupid.

01:19:42.000 Oh, yeah.

01:19:43.000 It doesn't always have to have a meaning behind it.

01:19:45.000 Some shit is just stupid.

01:19:47.000 My eight-year-old farts on cue.

01:19:48.000 She thinks it's hilarious.

01:19:49.000 First of all, that's genius.

01:19:50.000 She'll tell you, listen, I gotta talk to you about something.

01:19:53.000 That's it.

01:19:54.000 And she starts laughing.

01:19:55.000 She thinks it's hilarious.

01:19:56.000 She'll fall down on the couch.

01:19:57.000 It's the best thing in the world.

01:19:58.000 She can't stop laughing.

01:19:59.000 It's the best thing in the world.

01:20:00.000 That's what you're talking about.

01:20:01.000 As a kid, that's all you got.

01:20:03.000 That's your only bit as a kid.

01:20:05.000 You got nothing else but farts.

01:20:07.000 That's all you got.

01:20:08.000 That's all you got to make people laugh.

01:20:10.000 You should enjoy it.

01:20:12.000 You should.

01:20:13.000 I still think it's funny.

01:20:14.000 But falling is number one for me.

01:20:16.000 Falling is number one.

01:20:17.000 My wife fell down the steps.

01:20:19.000 She got so mad because I didn't rush to help her.

01:20:22.000 I laughed.

01:20:23.000 She had a wine glass.

01:20:25.000 Wine was all over the walls.

01:20:27.000 Oh my God.

01:20:28.000 One of the worst falls I've ever seen in my damn life.

01:20:31.000 Got up.

01:20:32.000 Her shoe was on one step.

01:20:33.000 The other shoe was all...

01:20:34.000 Falling is funny.

01:20:35.000 I like it.

01:20:36.000 I don't laugh at falling that much.

01:20:38.000 I just deal with too many injuries.

01:20:40.000 I've seen too many people get hurt.

01:20:41.000 It's not for you.

01:20:42.000 Yeah, it's not for me.

01:20:43.000 Especially old dudes falling down, hitting their head.

01:20:45.000 I'm like...

01:20:45.000 I start thinking about brain trauma and CTE and long-term repercussions and the impact.

01:20:51.000 After the laugh, I'm there.

01:20:53.000 I'm right there with you.

01:20:54.000 I think your approach is probably better.

01:20:56.000 I'm right there with you.

01:20:57.000 There's the one that's going on today of this dude trying to come up the stairs on this other dude.

01:21:01.000 Did you see that one?

01:21:02.000 And the guy stomped him and sent him flying.

01:21:04.000 I'm like, all I could think of is we don't see it in the video, but that guy's head has got to be smithereens.

01:21:08.000 Oh my God.

01:21:08.000 Like he had to hit his head the way he fell back.

01:21:11.000 You ever see one of the guy who slipped and fell down a bunch of steps at the museum and he falls in the water?

01:21:16.000 He just keeps going into the goals in the water.

01:21:19.000 Brilliant.

01:21:21.000 You can't beat that to me.

01:21:22.000 Yeah, here's this dude.

01:21:23.000 This dude's walking up the stairs, and this dude's like, get the fuck off my porch.

01:21:28.000 Stop.

01:21:28.000 Leave me alone.

01:21:29.000 And he keeps coming.

01:21:30.000 He's like, don't do it.

01:21:31.000 Don't do it.

01:21:32.000 And he got, boom!

01:21:34.000 Smacked.

01:21:35.000 The way he fell back, there was no hands behind him.

01:21:37.000 That's all head.

01:21:38.000 That's all head.

01:21:39.000 First of all, to not see that kick coming from a guy that size.

01:21:44.000 Yeah.

01:21:44.000 It's sad.

01:21:45.000 But you also have to realize a guy that size is carrying all that weight all day long.

01:21:49.000 No, no, no.

01:21:49.000 That's the equivalent of a donkey kicking you right there.

01:21:51.000 That's a donkey.

01:21:51.000 Yes, 100%.

01:21:52.000 That's a stomped.

01:21:53.000 Your chest is caved in right there.

01:21:54.000 You got stomped.

01:21:55.000 But to not see it once again.

01:21:57.000 I've always thought that about fat people.

01:21:59.000 That if you're really, really fat, imagine how strong your fucking legs must be.

01:22:03.000 It's the strongest shit ever.

01:22:04.000 Yeah.

01:22:04.000 If you really get some power behind that kick.

01:22:06.000 And also, if you lost the weight, you'd have these incredible legs.

01:22:10.000 That's always a theory, just what's under there, of course.

01:22:13.000 I always wonder if their knees are going to shrink.

01:22:16.000 Wait, what?

01:22:17.000 Because you see someone from behind, they're like 500 pounds, like their knees are that wide.

01:22:21.000 I'm like, okay, is that the bone?

01:22:22.000 Like, is that fat around the bone?

01:22:24.000 Like, has the bone grown really wide?

01:22:27.000 Because your body does, your bones do get denser if you do like heavy weight.

01:22:32.000 Like, if you look at like power lifter dudes, they're dense.

01:22:35.000 And part of it is not just their frame, it's that they're constantly lifting heavy things.

01:22:40.000 So your body thickens up.

01:22:41.000 As you go.

01:22:42.000 Yeah.

01:22:43.000 But, you know, when people that are larger make the dedication to actually losing the weight and they stay away from, like, the weights and stuff and just do cardio, it sheds off so fast.

01:22:53.000 Yeah.

01:22:54.000 Like, I know a couple of friends of mine that lost, like, 130, 140 pounds and, like, have now just fallen in love with fitness to the point where...

01:23:03.000 It's unbelievable how their body is transformed and taking a liking to the new process that they're now in.

01:23:11.000 Yeah, they get addicted instead of food.

01:23:13.000 They get addicted to being healthy.

01:23:14.000 Exactly.

01:23:15.000 It's totally possible.

01:23:16.000 Totally possible.

01:23:17.000 I've had, I don't know how many people come up to me and said they've lost 100 pounds plus because of listening to my show and having fitness experts on and diet experts and just talking about Staying the fuck away from sugar.

01:23:30.000 Don't eat late at night.

01:23:31.000 Stop eating.

01:23:33.000 Stop eating at a certain time and give yourself more than enough time to digest.

01:23:37.000 Cal your calories.

01:23:38.000 Start exercising.

01:23:39.000 Well, with me, I think the thing with me that helps me so much is I'm not a foodie.

01:23:44.000 You're not?

01:23:44.000 I'm not a foodie, man.

01:23:46.000 I'm just not.

01:23:47.000 I'm the most boring guy to go eat with.

01:23:49.000 I'm just making a turd.

01:23:51.000 That's it.

01:23:51.000 I'm literally just.

01:23:53.000 What is that?

01:23:54.000 Yeah, that's fine.

01:23:55.000 Let me get this baked chicken, some brown rice.

01:23:58.000 That's fine.

01:23:58.000 I'm good.

01:23:59.000 You don't worry about eating healthy or clean?

01:24:01.000 I'm a healthy eater because I'm not a foodie.

01:24:04.000 Oh, okay.

01:24:04.000 So it's not like it doesn't matter.

01:24:07.000 I don't have the will or want to eat the bad shit.

01:24:10.000 So if you're passing by In-N-Out Burger, nothing?

01:24:13.000 No.

01:24:13.000 Nothing?

01:24:14.000 No, man.

01:24:14.000 I'm black.

01:24:15.000 Fried chicken.

01:24:16.000 Oh, okay.

01:24:17.000 Now you showed me a Popeye's.

01:24:19.000 Popeye's.

01:24:19.000 Roscoe's is good too, but Popeye's.

01:24:21.000 Really?

01:24:22.000 Popeye's over Roscoe's?

01:24:23.000 Yes, man.

01:24:24.000 Popeye's.

01:24:24.000 I don't understand.

01:24:25.000 Popeye's is fucking, I don't know what's in that chicken batter, man.

01:24:29.000 It's pretty damn good.

01:24:29.000 The spicy?

01:24:30.000 Damn it.

01:24:30.000 Do you like the spicy?

01:24:31.000 Spicy set my ass on fire, but I'm still going to do it.

01:24:34.000 Yeah.

01:24:34.000 I'm still going to do it, but I'm just not, I can consistently eat the same thing and be fine.

01:24:39.000 How is Popeyes the only one who figured out that red beans and rice is a great thing to have on the side?

01:24:44.000 No one else has it.

01:24:45.000 It's the best thing ever.

01:24:46.000 You know what I mean?

01:24:47.000 Why doesn't Burger King or McDonald's have red beans and rice?

01:24:50.000 Popeyes is so good.

01:24:52.000 So good that when I was younger, I was about 22. I was on a bike.

01:24:57.000 I got hit by a car.

01:24:58.000 Right?

01:24:59.000 Not too hard to where I was damaged.

01:25:01.000 But I had Popeyes in my hand.

01:25:04.000 Like the bag.

01:25:04.000 I was riding on my bike and holding it.

01:25:06.000 One hand.

01:25:07.000 Bop!

01:25:08.000 Got hit.

01:25:09.000 Never let go of the bag.

01:25:11.000 Wow.

01:25:12.000 That's how good Popeye's is.

01:25:14.000 The bike, everything else.

01:25:16.000 Boom!

01:25:17.000 I'm there.

01:25:18.000 Popeye's.

01:25:19.000 I held on to it.

01:25:20.000 Nothing was damaged.

01:25:22.000 Still took it home and finished that meal.

01:25:23.000 That's incredible.

01:25:24.000 That's how good Popeye's is.

01:25:25.000 100%.

01:25:26.000 So that's my cheat.

01:25:27.000 My cheat is Popeye's all day.

01:25:29.000 Other than that, I'm a consistent either.

01:25:30.000 I'm a healthy guy.

01:25:31.000 So do you take vitamins or supplements or anything?

01:25:33.000 I used to take multivitamins, which inspired me to start doing my own.

01:25:39.000 Like right now, we got Vita Hustle.

01:25:43.000 I'm starting my own supplement line.

01:25:46.000 Vita Hustle is the multivitamin that we're putting out.

01:25:50.000 But let me tell you why, though.

01:25:52.000 I'm going to tell you why I'm even getting into this space.

01:25:54.000 So when I look at physical fitness and I look at this world, I notice that, you know, you have a...

01:26:01.000 You have a great want and need to look like everything around you that you see.

01:26:08.000 Everybody that's a part of this world, they look so fucking great and fit when they're talking about these products and the things they can do.

01:26:16.000 And I said, what I'm able to do and what I've done in my past...

01:26:22.000 I'm always bringing people together of all, like in whole.

01:26:28.000 Nobody's alienated.

01:26:30.000 When I did my runs with Nike and before I got signed by Nike, it was about bringing a bunch of people that never ran before and getting you guys to get up and just come run with me.

01:26:39.000 Just try it.

01:26:40.000 And you notice I got people out that never thought they would fucking do it and we're doing five miles.

01:26:44.000 We're doing ten miles.

01:26:46.000 Whatever.

01:26:46.000 Just a group run.

01:26:47.000 Something to say we did.

01:26:48.000 I said, how can I create a product where I'm putting people in a position to understand there's a hustle in all of us?

01:26:58.000 That's what my multivitamin is about.

01:27:01.000 It's the energy.

01:27:01.000 It's the recharge.

01:27:03.000 It's the ability to focus.

01:27:05.000 It's to approach your day With all of the tools that you basically need.

01:27:09.000 It's not just about the physical fitness aspect.

01:27:11.000 It's about the health.

01:27:12.000 So if I can actually motivate people to take the step in the right direction of health with a line of supplements that are driven for the everyday individual that may not know or be aware but wants to engage.

01:27:29.000 But you're not in it to look like all these different people.

01:27:31.000 You're in it to be the best version of yourself.

01:27:33.000 How can I do that?

01:27:35.000 Teamed up with a great group of people to create the best possible products that I want to do.

01:27:39.000 And I said I want to be patient.

01:27:40.000 So it took me four years.

01:27:41.000 Four years to create Vita Hustle.

01:27:43.000 And how many different products do you have?

01:27:44.000 Right now, just Vita Hustle.

01:27:46.000 Vita Hustle is my only one right now.

01:27:47.000 So it's just a vitamin?

01:27:48.000 Just a multivitamin.

01:27:50.000 But it's an amazing multivitamin.

01:27:51.000 Is it a single pill or is it a packet?

01:27:53.000 No, it's a jar.

01:27:55.000 I should have fucking bought one.

01:27:56.000 Good job.

01:27:56.000 A jar?

01:27:57.000 Jesus Christ.

01:27:58.000 So you like mix it and stuff?

01:28:00.000 No, it's a jar full of like a...

01:28:01.000 Oh, pills?

01:28:02.000 Yes, pills.

01:28:03.000 Okay.

01:28:04.000 I'm going to tell you the dope stuff that's in it.

01:28:08.000 Because I don't want to not say anything and have it to where it's wrong.

01:28:12.000 So I always have shit on my phone.

01:28:14.000 He's got it up on the screen.

01:28:15.000 Man, look how good he is.

01:28:17.000 How good is he, man?

01:28:18.000 Jesus Christ.

01:28:19.000 I get it, man.

01:28:20.000 Hey, I see it.

01:28:21.000 That's why you're here.

01:28:23.000 I was doing the same thing on my phone.

01:28:24.000 Blueberry fruit extract.

01:28:26.000 Scroll back up there.

01:28:27.000 Boron, biotin, beta carotene, vitamin A. That's all good shit.

01:28:32.000 It's all good shit.

01:28:33.000 It's more than a multivitamin.

01:28:35.000 Vitamin A. It's good.

01:28:37.000 D-E. What is that stuff?

01:28:41.000 Tocotranols.

01:28:42.000 Tocotranols.

01:28:43.000 Tocotranols.

01:28:43.000 Vitamin E family.

01:28:44.000 You ever heard of that, Jimmy?

01:28:46.000 Vitamin K. Look it up.

01:28:48.000 All right.

01:28:49.000 Look it up.

01:28:50.000 The good thing, too, is that everything that's in it, you know, it's...

01:28:57.000 Not only is it researchable, but you'll see why.

01:29:00.000 Like, my biggest thing, like, as a guy that's not as familiar with the space, I said, who are the people that are that do it at a high level that I can incorporate into helping me build this product?

01:29:12.000 So, I feel like you're never going to do it by yourself.

01:29:15.000 You shouldn't try to do it by yourself.

01:29:17.000 And you don't cut corners, you don't go the cheap route, you don't do it wrong, so then you have to go back and do it again.

01:29:23.000 So I went and I looked at the people that were involved with creating the quote-unquote best markets, the best things on the market, and I put that team together.

01:29:32.000 I put up a team of like four to five, and when I tell you four years, I spent a lot of money developing this shit.

01:29:36.000 Because it wasn't right in the beginning.

01:29:38.000 Had to go back.

01:29:38.000 Had to do it again.

01:29:40.000 Wasn't right.

01:29:40.000 Had to go back.

01:29:41.000 Find out the other things that made other things better.

01:29:43.000 Other things great.

01:29:44.000 Had to go right.

01:29:45.000 Go get it again.

01:29:46.000 Go try it.

01:29:46.000 Go do it again.

01:29:47.000 Not right.

01:29:48.000 What else is out there?

01:29:49.000 What do we compare it to?

01:29:50.000 Until I felt that now when I launch, there's going to be a place for my product in the market where people will understand that it's exactly what I said it was.

01:29:59.000 There's no lying.

01:30:00.000 There is no false presentation behind a product.

01:30:04.000 Kevin Hart's multivitamin is much more than multivitamin, but more importantly, it's something for everybody.

01:30:08.000 And more importantly, it's to spark the hustle within all of us.

01:30:13.000 And this is the first.

01:30:14.000 There will be more, but it'll be after I've mastered and I've done this at the highest level that I move to product number two.

01:30:20.000 Then I move to product number three.

01:30:21.000 Before you know it, you're going to see a fucking whole line that Kevin Hart has slowly developed and that people can actually believe in because I'm going to be a product of my own product.

01:30:32.000 That's the best thing in the world.

01:30:33.000 When you're a product of your product, it has to work for me before I say it's going to work for everybody else.

01:30:38.000 So you take this stuff.

01:30:39.000 You're goddamn right I take it.

01:30:40.000 How long have you been taking it?

01:30:41.000 I spent all this fucking money on it.

01:30:42.000 I better take it.

01:30:44.000 I've been taking the one that's launching now for about five to six months.

01:30:48.000 Nice.

01:30:49.000 I've been taking this one.

01:30:50.000 I'm very happy because I actually feel the difference.

01:30:53.000 And the difference is just in the energy that you have within a day.

01:30:58.000 It's not an energy fucking pill, but I do feel a difference in my life.

01:31:04.000 In my ability to last throughout my day.

01:31:07.000 I do a lot, man.

01:31:09.000 I do a fucking lot.

01:31:10.000 So I told you, I'm starting at that 5, 530, and I'm not shutting down till at 9, 10. I saw a video once where you were taking a video of your trainer passed out.

01:31:21.000 Yeah.

01:31:22.000 And you were like, this lifestyle's not for everybody.

01:31:24.000 Everybody around me shuts down.

01:31:27.000 Very unattractive sleeper, by the way.

01:31:29.000 Shouts out to boss Ronald Everline.

01:31:32.000 One of the worst sleepers you'll ever see.

01:31:34.000 So you take him with you everywhere?

01:31:35.000 Yeah.

01:31:35.000 My trainer's with me everywhere.

01:31:36.000 Wow.

01:31:37.000 Everywhere.

01:31:38.000 So you train every day?

01:31:39.000 Every day.

01:31:39.000 Wow.

01:31:40.000 Every day.

01:31:40.000 Sundays are light days.

01:31:42.000 Light cardio.

01:31:43.000 Maintenance is what we call it.

01:31:45.000 Not doing the same thing all the time.

01:31:47.000 We switch it up.

01:31:49.000 Love switching it up.

01:31:50.000 Love finding new things within fitness to make it fun.

01:31:53.000 You never want to get bored within it.

01:31:55.000 So your whole purpose is just to keep your vitality up, keep your energy up?

01:31:59.000 If I don't do it, then there's a lag.

01:32:05.000 I need to train.

01:32:08.000 I need to do it because I'm mentally so invested in it now that when I don't do it, I feel like I've cheated myself.

01:32:18.000 Right.

01:32:40.000 That's supposed to be about me is starting off with the biggest bang.

01:32:45.000 Right.

01:32:46.000 This is my advantage to starting off like nobody else.

01:32:50.000 My day starts off before fucking worms and birds get up.

01:32:55.000 What time do you get up?

01:32:56.000 Five.

01:32:56.000 Five, and that's when you start working out?

01:32:58.000 I'm in my gym, 515, 520. Really?

01:33:00.000 515, 520. No food?

01:33:02.000 I don't eat.

01:33:03.000 I don't eat before I work out.

01:33:04.000 I'm not an eater before I work out.

01:33:06.000 Never have been, no.

01:33:08.000 What I am now, because I'm getting older, I'm more conscious of my body, so I'm big with...

01:33:13.000 Sports massages.

01:33:14.000 I'm big with, you know, making sure that I'm not putting myself in a position to get injured and overworked.

01:33:22.000 So getting stretched, you know, trying to do as much movement as I possibly can.

01:33:31.000 Like when I say I'm a little walking muscle, I really am.

01:33:36.000 So my flexibility is limited.

01:33:37.000 So right now that's my biggest focus.

01:33:39.000 So I'm about to start yoga.

01:33:41.000 Trying to do that.

01:33:42.000 Things that can just kind of keep me in a position to not tighten up so I don't pull anything because I do so much.

01:33:47.000 Are you going to do hot yoga?

01:33:48.000 Hot yoga.

01:33:48.000 Yeah.

01:33:48.000 I do that shit all the time.

01:33:50.000 Do you really?

01:33:50.000 Love it.

01:33:51.000 Amazing.

01:33:51.000 I do it every week.

01:33:52.000 Yeah.

01:33:52.000 Only thing that's kept me from doing it is the smell that's possibly in there.

01:33:56.000 That's the only thing that's kept me out of it.

01:33:58.000 You gotta move past that.

01:33:59.000 I hear it get pretty bad.

01:34:01.000 Sometimes it can.

01:34:03.000 The place I go to is nice.

01:34:04.000 You just gotta make sure that the people take care of themselves.

01:34:07.000 You don't want to be around smelly people.

01:34:09.000 I'll be honest with you.

01:34:10.000 I'm worried about myself.

01:34:11.000 I don't know what I'm gonna give up.

01:34:12.000 Well, especially if you get there early in the morning and you don't eat, you won't worry about farting.

01:34:17.000 Yeah.

01:34:17.000 But the people that eat breakfast...

01:34:19.000 They're going there.

01:34:20.000 They're letting off and everything.

01:34:22.000 I had to explain that to Killer Mike.

01:34:23.000 He was talking to me about farting in yoga class.

01:34:25.000 Oh, my God.

01:34:26.000 You can't be eating.

01:34:27.000 No.

01:34:27.000 You can't be eating before that.

01:34:29.000 How early are you going?

01:34:30.000 I like to go either 6am, which is rare, most of the time 8, 8, 8.30.

01:34:37.000 Depends on which place I go to, too.

01:34:39.000 But you love it, though.

01:34:40.000 Yeah.

01:34:40.000 You love it.

01:34:41.000 It's great for your head, too.

01:34:42.000 It's 90 minutes of suffering.

01:34:43.000 You know, it's hot as fuck.

01:34:45.000 105 degrees, 104 degrees.

01:34:47.000 When you get out of there, you feel like you did something.

01:34:49.000 Really?

01:34:49.000 Yeah.

01:34:49.000 And it just changes the way your body feels, too, in terms of your range of motion, your flexibility.

01:34:55.000 All those weird connecting knots and everything just get opened up and...

01:35:00.000 My question is, when you're just starting, though, like I will be, is it extremely tough in the beginning?

01:35:08.000 Just got to bring a lot of ice water.

01:35:10.000 Just bring a big old fucking 64 ounce, one of those thermal flasks of ice water.

01:35:16.000 Make sure you have enough water and drink enough water before it.

01:35:19.000 I'm talking about putting me in the back when I'm starting out.

01:35:22.000 I don't need to be where people can see me.

01:35:24.000 They got like a section in the back.

01:35:25.000 Yeah, but you turn left and you turn right, everyone's going to see you.

01:35:28.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:35:29.000 Can I be in a place where they don't see me in the beginning?

01:35:32.000 Like, I don't want anybody to see.

01:35:33.000 You're athletic, man.

01:35:34.000 You're going to be fine.

01:35:35.000 You're going to be tight.

01:35:36.000 It's going to be difficult for you to pull off certain poses, but you'll be fine.

01:35:39.000 I'm definitely going to do it.

01:35:40.000 I'm definitely going to try.

01:35:41.000 And then you realize it's a challenge.

01:35:42.000 I'm definitely 100% going to try.

01:35:44.000 You ever fuck with jiu-jitsu?

01:35:45.000 No.

01:35:46.000 That's next.

01:35:47.000 Yes.

01:35:47.000 I want to hear that.

01:35:49.000 That's next.

01:35:49.000 That's what I want to hear.

01:35:50.000 Listen, this is where Rico was laughing because I said, yo, man, don't laugh when I tell you this.

01:35:56.000 I've never thrown a kick.

01:35:58.000 I said, so whatever you show me right now, this will be my first time doing it.

01:36:02.000 I don't kick.

01:36:03.000 I don't know how to kick.

01:36:04.000 Right.

01:36:05.000 So whatever you show me, This will be me processing it for the first time.

01:36:10.000 And that day we did it, we worked on it, and I think I threw a couple good kicks.

01:36:13.000 A couple good front kicks?

01:36:14.000 And I said, look, after I'm done with boxing, I said this will be my next task, to learn how to properly throw some kicks and to move with my bottom half, now that I've worked on my top.

01:36:26.000 That's my next hobby.

01:36:27.000 That's your next hobby.

01:36:29.000 But jujitsu.

01:36:30.000 You know, jujitsu is like chokes.

01:36:32.000 That's the tussling and chokes and thorn and stuff.

01:36:34.000 That's what we're talking about.

01:36:35.000 You want to do that too?

01:36:36.000 As you get older, you have to find shit to do.

01:36:40.000 Right.

01:36:41.000 If you don't find shit to do, you're going to lose your mind.

01:36:43.000 You would get addicted to that.

01:36:44.000 I just want to learn shit.

01:36:45.000 You would like it.

01:36:46.000 Because there's so much to learn.

01:36:47.000 That's the thing about it.

01:36:48.000 It's a long, long journey.

01:36:50.000 Never ending.

01:36:51.000 Never ending journey of shit.

01:36:53.000 There's also so many different variations of each different individual move and entries into new moves and defense.

01:37:00.000 And then the structure of it, it gets so crazy.

01:37:04.000 It's super complicated.

01:37:06.000 My son is heavy into boxing and karate.

01:37:10.000 I got him into those.

01:37:11.000 So he does them both.

01:37:13.000 So the reason why I want to do it, I just like to keep up with him so we can, you know.

01:37:17.000 Do things together.

01:37:19.000 I have trainers come to the house and we'll work out together.

01:37:21.000 He loves it.

01:37:22.000 So I just don't want to get left behind.

01:37:24.000 You don't want your son to be able to kick your ass?

01:37:26.000 I don't want that.

01:37:27.000 When he gets 17, 18, what you say dad?

01:37:30.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:37:31.000 Yeah, you don't want that.

01:37:32.000 Boy, you better back up.

01:37:34.000 When he starts getting that much confidence, I just want to be able to keep up and maintain.

01:37:38.000 So that's why I like to do it with him.

01:37:40.000 Well, it's good for a kid, too, to have that in your head when you know how to defend yourself.

01:37:44.000 Confidence.

01:37:45.000 You need that for confidence.

01:37:47.000 It'll help you avoid things, too.

01:37:48.000 Well, I tell my kids, you know, your last name puts a target on your back that you didn't ask for.

01:37:57.000 And we don't go and create problems, but you should always be prepared for problems if they were to occur.

01:38:04.000 And if they do, I just want you guys to know how to defend yourself.

01:38:07.000 So the things that I have my kids doing is just have the knowledge and understanding.

01:38:12.000 The worst thing is just not knowing.

01:38:14.000 You know, they're growing up completely different than I grew up.

01:38:17.000 Where I grew up, you had no choice but to know.

01:38:20.000 If you ain't know how to fight, that's your ass.

01:38:21.000 Because you're going to get tested.

01:38:23.000 There's no way around it.

01:38:25.000 You're going to get tried.

01:38:26.000 You're going to get robbed.

01:38:27.000 You're going to get your book bag taken.

01:38:29.000 Somebody's going to try to take your sneaks.

01:38:31.000 It's the reality.

01:38:32.000 It's not a false reality.

01:38:33.000 That's real.

01:38:34.000 So if you're not prepared for it, if you don't have any type of heart...

01:38:38.000 You won't last from where I grew up.

01:38:41.000 Heart was everything.

01:38:42.000 And heart was sometimes saying, I don't care if I get my ass whooped.

01:38:46.000 I'm not going to be a bitch.

01:38:47.000 I'm not going to allow y'all to think that this can happen, so I'm going to lose today.

01:38:53.000 But tomorrow, I'm going to come back and I'm going to find you.

01:38:55.000 Whatever that moment was, it was about establishing any level of respect that you could.

01:39:01.000 And that respect eventually turned into friendship from all.

01:39:04.000 So my kids don't know what that world is like.

01:39:07.000 They're never going to have it.

01:39:08.000 So as a parent, I just have to make sure that you have all the tools that I can possibly equip you with.

01:39:15.000 Because my parents didn't have the ability to provide me with that.

01:39:19.000 They weren't a financial space to take me here and have this extracurricular activity or this extracurricular activity or learn this or learn that.

01:39:26.000 It didn't exist.

01:39:27.000 That is the big conundrum of successful people.

01:39:30.000 Great word.

01:39:31.000 When successful people...

01:39:34.000 Have kids, what made them successful is dry.

01:39:37.000 I grew up poor, too.

01:39:38.000 We were on welfare and food stamps, the whole deal when I was a little kid.

01:39:42.000 And that always stuck in my head, this thought, like, we might not have enough food.

01:39:47.000 Like, I remember thinking that when I was little.

01:39:48.000 Like, what if we don't have any food?

01:39:50.000 What if we run out of food?

01:39:52.000 My kids will never feel that.

01:39:53.000 They don't understand what that is.

01:39:54.000 And everybody that I've ever met that's interesting came from some crazy struggle when they were young.

01:40:00.000 And that's the thing of you and I and most people that are doing well in life, you're raising your kids in a completely different way than literally what brought you to the dance in the first place.

01:40:11.000 The hunger of not being one of those people that's left behind is what makes you successful in the first place.

01:40:18.000 And it's scary...

01:40:19.000 It's scary because my wife told me, she was like, I love that you're not hard on your kids, but you always make sure there's a lesson within your conversation.

01:40:30.000 I don't yell.

01:40:31.000 I don't yell at my kids.

01:40:33.000 Nothing's going to register when I'm yelling.

01:40:35.000 So I try my best to talk to you.

01:40:37.000 Even when I'm at my angriest, I'm going to talk to you so you can process this because you need to understand what's the problem.

01:40:42.000 You need to understand what's wrong.

01:40:44.000 And what I had to really realize is, They didn't ask to be born into this.

01:40:52.000 It's not their fault that they're coming up completely different than how we were raised.

01:40:58.000 And we can't have anger or frustration that's dedicated and thrown towards them because they got it so much better than what we had.

01:41:13.000 Right.

01:41:14.000 Right.

01:41:25.000 They don't do dumb shit.

01:41:27.000 Yeah, they want to play video games and stay up like any other kid.

01:41:31.000 There's no signs of bad or crazy.

01:41:35.000 And the fear and panic is that you got to know that bad and crazy exists.

01:41:43.000 This fairy tale that we're in isn't real.

01:41:46.000 And at some point, when I'm not around, when your mother's not around...

01:41:51.000 When your friends or other family aren't around, you may get tested with the other side that's out here that you've never seen.

01:41:59.000 Right.

01:42:00.000 So I gotta prepare you for the shit that you don't know exists.

01:42:04.000 I gotta take you to Philadelphia so you can see.

01:42:07.000 I try to show my kids where I grew up.

01:42:10.000 Thinking it's going to be like a, oh my goodness.

01:42:13.000 Backfired.

01:42:14.000 It's so cool.

01:42:15.000 Can we live here?

01:42:16.000 Shut up.

01:42:16.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.

01:42:17.000 What the fuck are you talking about?

01:42:18.000 Get in the car.

01:42:19.000 Everybody, get in the car right now.

01:42:20.000 Everybody, we'll talk about this when we get back.

01:42:22.000 This does not go the way I was supposed to.

01:42:24.000 Oh my God, it's so cool, Dad.

01:42:26.000 It's so different.

01:42:27.000 Oh my goodness.

01:42:28.000 Walk them around the neighborhood and it's like, it's not a reality.

01:42:34.000 You didn't have grass.

01:42:36.000 Goodness, Dad.

01:42:38.000 Oh, that's crazy.

01:42:39.000 Where'd you play?

01:42:40.000 Wow.

01:42:41.000 When you hear.

01:42:42.000 Yeah.

01:42:42.000 When you hear these things, it's so different, man.

01:42:47.000 These were your steps.

01:42:48.000 The steps are broken.

01:42:49.000 How did you even play?

01:42:51.000 Oh, my God, Dad.

01:42:53.000 So, wait.

01:42:54.000 Where was yours?

01:42:56.000 We lived on the top floor.

01:42:57.000 Not the whole thing?

01:42:58.000 No.

01:43:00.000 This is three separate units.

01:43:02.000 So the top floor was me and grandmoms.

01:43:04.000 The middle, that was somebody else.

01:43:07.000 That was a neighbor.

01:43:07.000 And downstairs was somebody else.

01:43:09.000 Three different people lived in this one thing.

01:43:11.000 Together, y'all are strangers?

01:43:15.000 Hey, shut up.

01:43:16.000 My own answer.

01:43:17.000 Everybody in the car.

01:43:18.000 Get in the car.

01:43:18.000 I don't know what to do.

01:43:19.000 I don't know what to say at this part.

01:43:21.000 Get right in the car.

01:43:22.000 But when you see that, that's the reality that you get hit with of I got to make sure that I'm talking.

01:43:30.000 I gotta make sure that I'm constantly teaching.

01:43:33.000 If I'm not, then I'm not doing my part.

01:43:36.000 I'm failing.

01:43:37.000 Took them to the neighborhood and showed them how stores are in the neighborhood.

01:43:42.000 That's where we got candy from.

01:43:43.000 Here's where we would get little sandwiches from.

01:43:46.000 We don't have no stores like this.

01:43:48.000 We can't walk to stuff.

01:43:49.000 It's a completely different world.

01:43:52.000 It's a completely different world.

01:43:55.000 See people standing on the street corners.

01:43:57.000 What they doing there?

01:43:58.000 They selling drugs.

01:44:00.000 That's tough right there.

01:44:02.000 Those are people that your dad still knows.

01:44:04.000 They've been there forever.

01:44:06.000 That's what you don't want to do.

01:44:07.000 But they're forced with these decisions just because of what they have to do.

01:44:11.000 You just need to see this.

01:44:13.000 Dad is taking you here to see this.

01:44:14.000 Drove them all around.

01:44:16.000 All around North Philadelphia.

01:44:18.000 All around South Philadelphia.

01:44:20.000 Made sure that they could see it.

01:44:22.000 You gotta physically see.

01:44:25.000 We go out the country.

01:44:26.000 We go to these resorts and islands.

01:44:28.000 Before we go there, we're gonna drive around so you can see what exists.

01:44:31.000 Before you get to this...

01:44:34.000 This is why we have to be good people.

01:44:36.000 This is why we treat everybody with respect.

01:44:38.000 This is why your dad likes to give.

01:44:41.000 Everybody doesn't have.

01:44:43.000 I'm constantly beating my kids with that information.

01:44:47.000 Because if you assume that everybody does, you come off like such an asshole when you're around people that don't.

01:44:53.000 What?

01:44:54.000 How did you?

01:44:56.000 Also, the advantage that they had growing up the way they are now, it's such a rare thing.

01:45:02.000 And they don't understand it.

01:45:04.000 There's no way they could.

01:45:05.000 A very small percentage.

01:45:06.000 Yeah.

01:45:06.000 A very small percentage.

01:45:08.000 And that's something that I never want to let go of either.

01:45:11.000 So I was in the back of my head.

01:45:12.000 So you're talking about how, you know, are we going to have enough food when you were coming up?

01:45:16.000 Chris Rock's joke is so great that he used to tell about how he keeps a bag packed at the front door because he don't believe that this shit is his.

01:45:26.000 He said, I truly believe that at any point somebody going to go, gotcha!

01:45:33.000 You thought you lived here, didn't you?

01:45:35.000 This ain't yours.

01:45:36.000 And I was like, it's so real.

01:45:39.000 Because even though you have it, you can't lose the sight of reality of what it once was.

01:45:46.000 Are you comfortable where you are now?

01:45:49.000 Or do you still have those thoughts?

01:45:50.000 Like, is this real?

01:45:53.000 Because you're at this stratosphere of fame and success.

01:45:57.000 It's rare amongst the rare.

01:46:00.000 You know, it's like David Goggin says, you are uncommon amongst uncommon men.

01:46:04.000 I will be 100% honest and say I'm comfortable with the understanding of hard work brings great rewards.

01:46:18.000 This is a reminder that Of the hard work and dedication that I put into everything that I've done.

01:46:25.000 I'm not content because I know where I came from and I don't ever want to go back.

01:46:34.000 That doesn't mean I don't want to go back to the city.

01:46:36.000 That doesn't mean I want to go back to the people.

01:46:38.000 That means I don't want to go back to living like I once was.

01:46:42.000 I want to go back and I want to help.

01:46:44.000 I want to inspire.

01:46:45.000 I want to motivate.

01:46:46.000 I want to show people that there is a way out.

01:46:48.000 That there is a way out.

01:46:50.000 To do more, to get more, to obtain more.

01:46:53.000 But I personally don't want to lose all that I've been able to get.

01:46:58.000 So I need to make sure that I do everything to keep it.

01:47:02.000 So I can't be content.

01:47:04.000 So there is an understanding, but I refuse to click on the switch of...

01:47:14.000 So even if you have more money than you'll ever spend for the rest of your life, that's not what it's about.

01:47:21.000 No.

01:47:21.000 It's about the inspiring people and the influence and constantly giving back and moving forward in a positive way.

01:47:29.000 And the only way you can do that is to stay active.

01:47:31.000 It's the story, man.

01:47:32.000 Yeah.

01:47:33.000 You know, we're all writing a book.

01:47:37.000 What's your book look like?

01:47:40.000 What does your fucking book look like?

01:47:42.000 Like your life is a book.

01:47:44.000 You got a bunch of chapters in your book.

01:47:46.000 But when they close that book, how good was the book?

01:47:52.000 How good was your book?

01:47:53.000 What was the ending to your book?

01:47:56.000 If the ending to my book can be so amazing because of all that was done.

01:48:04.000 Not the money.

01:48:05.000 All that was accomplished.

01:48:07.000 The first to do.

01:48:09.000 The man that did this.

01:48:10.000 He caused a merger between this.

01:48:12.000 Because of his commitment and growth to this, the communities were then given this.

01:48:16.000 Made education this.

01:48:18.000 Changed the way the schooling was blah blah blah.

01:48:21.000 Gave books.

01:48:22.000 Gave computers.

01:48:23.000 Gave all of the things that can be associated with you and your existence.

01:48:28.000 Become a part of the chapters in your book.

01:48:31.000 So my drive is about my book.

01:48:35.000 I was a New York Times number one bestseller.

01:48:39.000 People would be done.

01:48:40.000 They did it.

01:48:40.000 I'm writing another book.

01:48:43.000 You're writing a book right now?

01:48:44.000 Yeah.

01:48:44.000 What happens if you are a two-time New York Times number one bestseller?

01:48:50.000 If you get to two, what happens if you get to three?

01:48:53.000 Hey man, how do books become successful?

01:48:55.000 Who publishes them?

01:48:56.000 I want to start a publishing company.

01:48:58.000 Heartbeat Publishing.

01:48:59.000 Why not?

01:49:01.000 That's the thing.

01:49:02.000 All I'm doing is sparking The awareness in others to go, why not?

01:49:09.000 Why can't I create?

01:49:10.000 Why can't I start?

01:49:11.000 Why can't I be a business?

01:49:13.000 Why can't I be a CEO? Why can't I be a tech guru?

01:49:17.000 Why can't I fucking create cooking products?

01:49:20.000 Lotion, scents, there's so much that some people just don't understand they can do.

01:49:26.000 Let me be a spark to show how much, how many different, you don't have to do just one thing.

01:49:31.000 When it's all said and done, my book is going to be full of all the shit that Kevin Hart did.

01:49:36.000 Because I never was content with doing just one, two, or three.

01:49:41.000 Why not?

01:49:44.000 Kevin, why are you creating fucking health and wellness products?

01:49:48.000 Why not?

01:49:49.000 I'm big on health and wellness.

01:49:50.000 Why can't I try to create something that I feel is fucking great and jump into a space that I'm already in?

01:49:59.000 I already give 100% of me in this space.

01:50:02.000 Why not?

01:50:04.000 Why can't I talk about financial wealth?

01:50:08.000 Why can't I go back and educate those that don't know?

01:50:12.000 Why not?

01:50:13.000 You don't got the time.

01:50:14.000 I make time.

01:50:15.000 Well, you certainly can, but it's just so unusual that someone dedicates that much energy and time to giving back and getting involved with the kind of projects that you're talking about, as well as be super ambitious with your own career.

01:50:27.000 It makes me happy.

01:50:28.000 Yeah, I can tell.

01:50:30.000 I'm genuinely happy.

01:50:32.000 Discovery makes me happy.

01:50:35.000 Like, when you find different things to be excited about, it makes me happy.

01:50:41.000 And it's weird when it clicks.

01:50:43.000 In school, they used to tell you all the time, information is key.

01:50:46.000 Read these books.

01:50:47.000 There's so much knowledge.

01:50:48.000 Man, fuck that book.

01:50:50.000 Got time to read that book.

01:50:51.000 I want to go home.

01:50:53.000 Goddamn Sonic the Hedgehog.

01:50:54.000 I want to play.

01:50:55.000 I'm at level three.

01:50:56.000 I ain't got time to read this book.

01:50:58.000 The information and stuff that was forced down your throat, at a certain age, you just may not be receiving it correctly, but then it clicks.

01:51:09.000 You may gain information differently, and what you do with that information is up to you, but people have different roles they can go down.

01:51:18.000 The education wasn't my pick of choice.

01:51:22.000 It didn't do it for me.

01:51:24.000 But the knowledge and the common sense that I have naturally allowed me to gain information, apply it differently.

01:51:32.000 It allowed me to grow smart in so many different avenues.

01:51:37.000 To where I said, oh my God, I found my niche, I found my talent, and now there's other things that my talent can take me to.

01:51:45.000 I don't have all the knowledge and awareness, but I can allow myself with people to do that, can teach me.

01:51:50.000 Because now, guess what?

01:51:51.000 Learning is cool.

01:51:53.000 Yeah, that's what happens when you don't have to do it anymore, right?

01:51:56.000 When you're a kid, they force you into this school, you don't want to learn.

01:52:01.000 But then when you get out, you realize, like, oh, this actually benefits me.

01:52:04.000 This is making me a better person.

01:52:05.000 This is making me wiser.

01:52:06.000 It's 100% reality.

01:52:10.000 And it's weird how it happens.

01:52:12.000 But when you go, oh, my God.

01:52:15.000 Learning and knowledge is power.

01:52:17.000 Fuck, they used to tell me this when I was 10. And you're like, what?

01:52:20.000 Yes.

01:52:21.000 10, 11 years old, I heard that shit all the time.

01:52:24.000 Now I finally get it.

01:52:27.000 Damn, I'm about to be 40. Took me all this time to get the goddamn code, but I got it.

01:52:34.000 It hits you at a different time.

01:52:36.000 And when it does, be excited about it, man.

01:52:40.000 Be excited.

01:52:41.000 I'm excited about what 50 is.

01:52:44.000 I'm just now getting to 40. Do you read books?

01:52:47.000 I don't read a lot of books.

01:52:49.000 Do you listen to books on tape?

01:52:51.000 I have listened to books.

01:52:52.000 You know who I listen to?

01:52:53.000 What?

01:52:54.000 Tony Robbins.

01:52:55.000 He's great.

01:52:56.000 Tony's a...

01:52:57.000 I like...

01:52:58.000 I like his approach to giving information.

01:53:03.000 I like his attitude in general.

01:53:06.000 I like podcasts.

01:53:10.000 I like things that are real and that are presented in front of me.

01:53:14.000 I like information that I can go to the source and touch and talk.

01:53:20.000 So if I'm reading a book, it's a book that was recommended by such and such and the person that gave it to me.

01:53:26.000 And after reading that book, I learned more about the individual that I thought I already knew and now I gain more.

01:53:33.000 Michelle Obama's book.

01:53:34.000 Great book.

01:53:36.000 Great fucking book.

01:53:37.000 I met her.

01:53:39.000 Talk to her.

01:53:41.000 I've been in the same rooms.

01:53:43.000 I've seen her success.

01:53:44.000 What is her book going to be about?

01:53:47.000 Go read her book.

01:53:49.000 Wow.

01:53:51.000 I get it.

01:53:52.000 I get why it's moving all the units that it's moving.

01:53:55.000 I get why women are reading this book and walking away feeling better.

01:53:59.000 Feeling like they can't.

01:54:01.000 I get it.

01:54:02.000 Oh wow.

01:54:05.000 Certain friends.

01:54:06.000 Dwayne Wade wrote a book.

01:54:08.000 Focus on being a father.

01:54:10.000 His road to becoming a better father.

01:54:12.000 What he went through with his kid's mother.

01:54:14.000 How he developed a relationship and a bond with his sons like nobody else.

01:54:18.000 Wow.

01:54:19.000 Didn't know that, D. That's dope.

01:54:22.000 I love how you put it on page.

01:54:24.000 There's certain things that you just want to know.

01:54:27.000 Certain books help.

01:54:30.000 I understand why people read books.

01:54:33.000 I get what the information does.

01:54:36.000 The book that I'm working on now is all about the mental approach that you have with life and people not understanding that your biggest enemy is you.

01:54:50.000 My whole book is about you battling yourself.

01:54:54.000 People don't understand it's you against you.

01:54:56.000 The only person that gets in your way is you.

01:54:59.000 Nobody else.

01:55:00.000 It's you.

01:55:01.000 Now when you write a book like this, and especially about something like this, this is like the way you've managed to navigate through life.

01:55:09.000 Do you write it out in essays?

01:55:12.000 Do you have like bullet points that you think about?

01:55:16.000 And then once you have those bullet points in your head, then you write on those?

01:55:19.000 How do you do it?

01:55:20.000 I will show you now.

01:55:21.000 Keep it on your phone?

01:55:22.000 It's all voice notes and transcripts.

01:55:27.000 Okay?

01:55:27.000 So because of your time, You don't have the time to sit and actually write.

01:55:36.000 So you need somebody that you can talk to for hours.

01:55:41.000 Hours.

01:55:43.000 Hours on end.

01:55:44.000 Hey, hey, I need an hour.

01:55:46.000 Block an hour for me.

01:55:47.000 I got some stuff I want to talk to you about.

01:55:49.000 Kev, what?

01:55:49.000 What's that?

01:55:50.000 All right?

01:55:50.000 Book title ideas, subtitle ideas, my dedications, my introductions.

01:55:56.000 Within my introductions, these are all powerful paragraphs of things that I've just said that are now transcript.

01:56:02.000 I get to go back and read it.

01:56:04.000 Let me see here.

01:56:06.000 There's no conversation at all.

01:56:08.000 I'm going to read one of them.

01:56:11.000 We're good to go.

01:56:13.000 We're good to go.

01:56:29.000 When I listen and I can change, I'm not that guy.

01:56:34.000 We're doing these weird things now that people aren't taking the time to sit and think through.

01:56:40.000 What I've understood is that what people are doing has nothing to do with me.

01:56:44.000 I should always be a step ahead because I'm thinking differently.

01:56:49.000 Because I'm thinking about myself.

01:56:51.000 Making myself better puts me in a position to make others better.

01:56:55.000 Be the example, not the problem.

01:56:58.000 The best way to take away the problem is to alienate yourself from it.

01:57:03.000 These are just thoughts.

01:57:06.000 It's fucking thoughts.

01:57:07.000 I can go through and just read it.

01:57:09.000 So you just have these philosophies.

01:57:11.000 This is the way you live your life and you just speak it.

01:57:14.000 That's it.

01:57:15.000 Just speak it.

01:57:16.000 Damn.

01:57:16.000 So now this is all transcript.

01:57:18.000 Look how long this is.

01:57:19.000 That's incredible.

01:57:20.000 This is all fucking transcript.

01:57:21.000 This is all.

01:57:21.000 So I just go back throughout the day and I read it and I say, this is great.

01:57:25.000 This makes sense.

01:57:26.000 This didn't.

01:57:27.000 Let me reword this.

01:57:28.000 Let me make sure that it's all flowing together.

01:57:30.000 And at the end of the day, what's my reason for the book?

01:57:34.000 My reason for the book is to make people better.

01:57:37.000 My reason for the book is to make people understand, yo, we all are great.

01:57:41.000 We all should think that we're great.

01:57:43.000 There's no reason for you to not think that you're great.

01:57:46.000 If you don't think you're great, ask yourself why.

01:57:50.000 Why don't you think the highest of yourself?

01:57:53.000 When you do, people have no choice but to follow suit.

01:57:58.000 You got no choice but to follow suit.

01:58:01.000 Well, a lot of people, they base it on their past.

01:58:03.000 They base it on the life that they've experienced up until this moment.

01:58:06.000 Makes you better.

01:58:07.000 Yeah.

01:58:07.000 It does make you better.

01:58:08.000 Makes you better.

01:58:09.000 Makes you smarter.

01:58:10.000 Yeah.

01:58:10.000 A life with no rocks.

01:58:11.000 They need to hear a guy like you say it.

01:58:12.000 Yeah, man.

01:58:12.000 That's what's interesting about it.

01:58:14.000 That's what's interesting about life.

01:58:15.000 You can hear a guy like you say that, and then it changes your perspective, and then you'll go out and take action that you might not have taken before.

01:58:21.000 I got a 585 on my SAT. Confessions.

01:58:24.000 I didn't even take mine.

01:58:26.000 Confessions.

01:58:27.000 They give you 400 for putting your name on the paper.

01:58:29.000 It's a true story.

01:58:30.000 Wow.

01:58:30.000 I guessed.

01:58:31.000 A-B-A-C-A-D-A. I did abacadabra all the way down.

01:58:34.000 It's a true story.

01:58:36.000 Swear to God.

01:58:37.000 Hand on my mother's grave.

01:58:38.000 A-B-A-C-A-D-A. All the way down.

01:58:41.000 I didn't care because it was a class trip that same day.

01:58:44.000 I wanted to go Great Adventure.

01:58:47.000 I was told that not taking my SAT seriously would prohibit me from furthering myself in life.

01:58:55.000 That's what I was told.

01:58:57.000 At the moment, I said, damn, maybe I should have applied myself.

01:59:01.000 Maybe I should have did different.

01:59:02.000 When I saw all my friends get their test scores back and they were ecstatic.

01:59:06.000 800s, 900s, 960s.

01:59:08.000 Everybody's going to college.

01:59:09.000 I felt like the biggest idiot in the fucking world.

01:59:11.000 The biggest idiot in the fucking world.

01:59:13.000 Because the same people that I went and rushed to go to Great Adventure with...

01:59:16.000 They had taken an SAT the week before.

01:59:18.000 They already got their work done.

01:59:20.000 They did everything they were supposed to do.

01:59:22.000 So that moment of fun was real fun for them.

01:59:24.000 I was the only dumbass that didn't prioritize and take care of my shit.

01:59:29.000 So I'm the only one going to community college.

01:59:32.000 Everybody else off to Villanova, Temple University, Drexel University.

01:59:37.000 Goddamn.

01:59:38.000 I just got left behind.

01:59:40.000 Why didn't y'all tell me that y'all did it the week before?

01:59:44.000 How come y'all ain't telling me that we was serious about the college shit?

01:59:47.000 Y'all ain't telling me y'all was trying to go to Temple or Drexel?

01:59:50.000 Oh, wait.

01:59:53.000 It's because my life isn't their life.

01:59:56.000 They're focused on themselves.

02:00:00.000 Wow, they're doing what they're supposed to do.

02:00:02.000 Hey, jackass.

02:00:04.000 Go sit by yourself and figure it out because this is where you should be.

02:00:08.000 Lesson learned.

02:00:09.000 Any opportunity given should be taken serious from this point on.

02:00:14.000 Because if not, you can find yourself feeling just like this.

02:00:17.000 So I didn't get down on myself for the fucking moment.

02:00:19.000 I learned from it.

02:00:21.000 I learned from it.

02:00:23.000 Now, if I gotta take a goddamn test, you best believe I'm studying for that fucking test because I don't want the feeling like I'm the guy that didn't prepare.

02:00:30.000 Now I got a story to tell my kids about what it feels like to be the kid in class that didn't prepare that's got the worst grade when they give all those grades back.

02:00:38.000 But it's because of my experience.

02:00:41.000 I don't look down on those moments.

02:00:43.000 You take those moments, you make the best of them because they're life lessons.

02:00:46.000 It's that simple.

02:00:48.000 You're saying it's positive, but it's really just simplicity that's real.

02:00:53.000 It's real.

02:00:54.000 It's real and it's your life experience and it's your life's lessons.

02:00:58.000 100%.

02:00:58.000 But the fact that a guy like you comes out and talks about it like that, that's where it makes it really powerful because it's not just something that you learn from, but now other people can learn from your past too.

02:01:07.000 That's what I'm hoping.

02:01:08.000 And they look at themselves and they realize we all start from a different spot.

02:01:14.000 You're not the same.

02:01:15.000 This is why I'm so candid.

02:01:17.000 I'm so candid.

02:01:18.000 I'm so open.

02:01:20.000 There is no...

02:01:22.000 Guys, I'm fine with being an open book.

02:01:27.000 I'm fine with the good, the bad, the ugly.

02:01:29.000 I'm fine being flawed.

02:01:31.000 I'm fine with all the things that have happened to me that have been exposed.

02:01:36.000 I'm fine with it all.

02:01:39.000 I don't hide from it.

02:01:40.000 I don't run from it.

02:01:42.000 I don't avoid any of it.

02:01:45.000 I'm fine.

02:01:47.000 It's alright.

02:01:48.000 It's a bed that I made for myself.

02:01:50.000 I happily lay in it.

02:01:52.000 And I'll be fine figuring it out.

02:01:54.000 Moving forward.

02:01:56.000 Sun don't stop for nobody man.

02:01:58.000 Sun don't fucking stop.

02:01:59.000 Sun gonna be up in the morning regardless.

02:02:02.000 That sun is gonna be up in the morning regardless.

02:02:05.000 Regardless of how I fucking feel.

02:02:07.000 And how depressed I am.

02:02:08.000 The sun is gonna fucking shine in the morning.

02:02:12.000 And at nighttime, the moon gonna be there.

02:02:14.000 And you gonna look up, these days gonna keep going by.

02:02:17.000 So do you let the days go by and look up and you done wasted a year doing what?

02:02:21.000 Or do you just pick it up?

02:02:23.000 Alright, well, gotta figure it out, made some mistakes, life goes on.

02:02:27.000 Let me figure out life from this point.

02:02:30.000 I'm a life goes on type of guy.

02:02:32.000 You're a bad motherfucker, Kevin Hart.

02:02:34.000 Very, very, very inspirational.

02:02:37.000 And I'm really glad you came down here and talked about it.

02:02:40.000 I'm more than glad.

02:02:42.000 I think that it took too long, actually.

02:02:44.000 And this is the first of what will be many, man.

02:02:47.000 For sure.

02:02:48.000 I'm a fan too.

02:02:49.000 And I just think what you're doing is not just inspirational in terms of what you've been able to achieve and who you are, but also inspirational in how you're so dedicated to helping other people.

02:02:59.000 That means a lot to me.

02:03:00.000 It's very motivating.

02:03:02.000 It's very powerful.

02:03:03.000 Well, I want all your listeners to know that it's not for talk.

02:03:07.000 No.

02:03:08.000 There's no way it could be.

02:03:10.000 If you were doing that just for talk, I'd be like, listen, just fake it and then become that guy because you're onto something.

02:03:17.000 If you could do that and just say it and talk, forget about whether it's fake or not.

02:03:23.000 Just do it.

02:03:24.000 Keep doing it.

02:03:25.000 You're on!

02:03:26.000 No, I want you guys, trust me, you will be seeing more.

02:03:29.000 The financial fitness is real.

02:03:31.000 This relationship with Chase and us just making sure that you put me in a position to give the information that I have and to the people that really need it.

02:03:39.000 That's the priority.

02:03:40.000 I will be sending more kids to college this year.

02:03:43.000 Shouts out to Tony Robbins, who's Matching my donations.

02:03:47.000 So, you know, I think I'm going to end up probably having about a good million to 1.5 where we take and we just dedicate that money and we just provide free education.

02:03:58.000 That's amazing.

02:03:59.000 UNCF helps me as well.
