Comedian Dave Chappelle joins Jemele to discuss his life and career, his new movie, and his new stand-up special. He also talks about his favorite comedian, and the people who helped him get to where he is now, and what it's like to be a comedian in the 21st century. He also gives us some of his favorite memories of growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, and gives us a little insight into what it was like growing up as a comic in that era, and why it's so important to have good friends in your life, and how important it is to surround yourself with people who are good at the same thing you're trying to do, because without them, it's not going to be as good as you think it is. Plus, he gives us his thoughts on the new movie he's been working on and why he thinks it's a good idea to make a movie about the late great Dave Chapele. You won't want to miss it!

00:01:30.000We got into this because we love comedy, and now we're in it.
00:01:34.000And when you're in it, it's so scary, and it's so weird, and it's so chaotic, and people are comparing themselves to other people, and it causes all this totally unnecessary conflict.
00:01:46.000And if you just remember why you got it in the first place, you got it in the first place because you love to watch it.
00:01:53.000And then you did it, and then you got selfish.
00:01:55.000And you started thinking about yourself.
00:01:57.000You started thinking about, I want to kill, and I want to be better, and I want to be the number one person.
00:02:01.000Watching where other people are in their career.
00:02:02.000How come I don't have a 30-minute, half-hour special?
00:02:04.000And people get upset with people that they really don't have any conflict with in real life.
00:02:09.000But in their mind, they associate that person with something negative because they feel bad when they think about them because that person's more successful than them.
00:02:17.000It makes them feel bad, so they think that person's bad.
00:02:21.000It's like a weird, selfish way of thinking about stuff.
00:02:24.000And every comic used to have that back in the day.
00:02:28.000Dice was talking about how every comic would fuck every comic over, and they would do something that would fuck up your set.
00:02:36.000He was talking about what he did on Dangerfield's Young Comedian special.
00:02:41.000Someone else on the show wanted to wear a leather jacket, the day of, a biker jacket, like the same jacket that Dice wears.
00:03:01.000The amount of love I've gotten from comics these last couple weeks promoting the movie, the love I've gotten from them has made me feel good.
00:05:24.000It's funny, I remember when all the fucking Ivermectican shit was going on with you, and Georgia was like, sitting at the table, and she's on her phone, and she goes, oh my god, do you know this guy?
00:05:44.000You're looking at your phone, and I think that's what happens, is you look at a celebrity or someone, and you brand them with the thing that you think on the outside.
00:05:52.000I know I've been guilty of it, but I've talked shit about people before.
00:08:53.000I thought Stylebender was doing a Steve Harvey bit because Steve Harvey has this moment where he's doing an award show and he hears a song and he goes, ooh, I'm having me a moment.
00:10:09.000So you thought Stylebender was doing that?
00:10:12.000Because Leigh-Anne sends me Steve Harvey clips, and she had just sent him, and I thought, he must have seen the clip, it must be going viral.
00:10:19.000So I thought he was doing Stylebender, so I go, I can't have a motherfucker in!
00:12:17.000And I think it might be in Scientology.
00:12:21.000It might be a thing in Scientology, but...
00:12:23.000When Izzy earns his Monday, after that fight, the way he celebrates life for two weeks, he goes out, he's in Miami, he's in New York, he's in Vegas, he's in LA, he's in London.
00:13:23.000That is our biggest challenge is getting people in movie theaters.
00:13:26.000So if you love me or you've ever loved me, you used to love me, you think I'm annoying as fuck now, whatever the fuck it is, just give me a shot.
00:13:34.000Get out of the house and go see the story that started on this fucking podcast.
00:13:40.000I would have never told it on stage if this man right here didn't say, you have to tell it on stage.
00:18:06.000That's the coolest thing about that goddamn club is I see fucking Ron up in the top and I go, I'll tell the machine if Ron comes down and tells Tater Salad.
00:18:14.000And the place is like, Ron White's here?
00:23:33.000But I might if it's, like, if it's a Huberman podcast or one of those ones where I'm going to try to implement whatever they're talking about.
00:26:26.000The moment you want, when he comes up on TV and people go, I met Arnold Schwarzenegger, they go, how was he?
00:26:31.000Not one person, maybe I'm sure there's people that say bad things, but like, everyone I met, when I watched him interact with people, Fucking loved him.
00:28:38.000Look, I'm not an expert, but the words in the Slavic language or whatever they speak in Serbia to explain me, the words they use are unpredictable.
00:28:51.000I think those are the words that you would use that personality.
00:28:55.000There was a scene in the movie with my co-star that in order to do it, she had to be put into a cast and she couldn't move.
00:29:06.000And she wasn't comfortable doing it with me because the words to describe me are, he's unpredictable, you don't know what he's going to do.
00:29:13.000I think in English, I just think our, this is a horrible thing to say, but I think our language is more slangy, so we get things a little easier.
00:29:22.000I know when I was in Russia, they didn't have a lot of slangs.
00:30:22.000After you do an action scene and then you watch John Wick, you're like, that's learning the ballet.
00:30:30.000Like that guy, those things he does in that movie, they are, I would argue, someone like you who's into martial arts and knows how to use his body, I'd be interested to see you, that would be a cool thing to see you do one of the John Wick sequences.
00:30:56.000You know, we go out and we shoot with Taron, and we learn the John Wick guns and stuff?
00:31:01.000If they had a class where you could just go, hey man, for this week we're going to teach you a John Wick sequence, just to see if you could learn it.
00:31:58.000It's the sexy assassin that you root for.
00:32:03.000The whole thing is like, have we forgiven his past where he worked for the Russian mob and killed how many fucking people that didn't deserve to be killed?
00:32:12.000He was the guy you sent in to kill people.
00:32:14.000It's the weirdest sort of hero that's ever existed.
00:32:19.000Because it's so satisfying because they killed his puppy.
00:32:24.000Dude, I thought you were going to say that.
00:38:00.000Their concession stand looks like you're at a concession stand, like at a ballpark, like a Little League ballpark.
00:38:07.000And I think those are the ones that took the big hits because they do have high rents because they're big spaces, but they don't have a company behind them to support them.
00:38:49.000He walked me through it, and it's funny to hear him talk about podcasting and what he was doing.
00:38:56.000It's almost like, imagine if our two timelines were like this, but he was doing it like 10 years before that.
00:39:01.000Doing theaters, doing his podcast, doing that, and then all of a sudden he's like, and then Carolla got his podcast, and I'm like, wait, wait, hold on.
00:41:06.000And she has to get from point A to point B, and she runs the whole way there, but stuff happened in between, and it's, oh yeah, her husband's robbing someone, I guess.
00:41:16.000It's a foreign film that you literally are on the edge of your seats.
00:41:21.000It's one of those movies where you're like, small budget, just fucking good.
00:44:49.000Dan Marino throws up because he made out with a dude.
00:44:53.000The whole fucking thing is like, it's so crazy.
00:44:56.000And there is a complete, this is where trans people should spend their time getting rid of that fucking movie because they see the dick in the back of the pants and they all throw up!
00:46:13.000History has certainly shown that even the most intuitive criminal investigator can be wrong from time to time.
00:46:20.000But if I am mistaken, if the lieutenant is indeed a woman as she claims to be, then my friend, she is suffering from the worst case of hemorrhoids I have ever seen!
00:50:24.000At one point, in making the movie, I said to the—I'll say I said it to no one so no one ever gets in trouble, because I know that what I do is not what the studio's like, right?
00:50:47.000You know, back to school, Rodney Dangersfield opens the fucking curtain, and the girl with the most beautiful body showers, and he goes, hey, excuse me!
00:50:54.000And then closed them, and he goes, ah!
00:54:26.000It's just loss of free will that someone would go, go, and you couldn't be like, no, my name's Bert, and I haven't fallen in love yet, and I want to live my life.
00:54:46.000Do you think I truly understand what manipulation has been put into place that allowed giant groups of men with guns to run at other giant groups of men with guns?
00:55:00.000They talked about, so in World War II, there was one Christmas where the German soldiers started singing American Christmas carols on Christmas.
00:55:12.000And then the Americans started singing with them, and then they had this in...
00:55:17.000Obviously remember I'm Burt, I'm not a fucking historian, so don't light me up on this, but like this is how I heard it.
00:55:22.000And in that moment they had a ceasefire.
00:55:24.000The soldiers had a ceasefire and it sent the fucking colonels through the roof because they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're losing fucking control.
00:55:34.000Seen not fighting or seen extending, like they had to get letters from one side to another side from the fucking people that were kept in camps, right?
00:56:47.000Well, it's all weird, man, because you don't know the full story unless you've got to delve into it, read all accounts by all parties, pro and con.
00:58:11.000They did at least when they tried going into Russia.
00:58:13.000But could you imagine you have an enemy that's invading you and you agree, we need to bond together and kill this other enemy that is not human.
00:58:33.000Parties of Russians and German scouts met recently and were hotly engaged in a skirmish when a large pack of wolves dashed on the scene and attacked the wounded.
00:58:41.000Have you ever seen the video of the cop going to give a parking ticket and the fucking 50 wolves run down the street?
01:00:16.000Here's the other thing I'm looking at, that'll be hard to fake, is the headlights from this car should be giving an extra shadow on these wolves coming this way, and it looks like it's only from the streetlight.
01:03:06.000So, I had never, this is a while ago, this is back like, it was when we were in our old house, and I remember I was talking to Tom on the phone.
01:03:14.000And Isla's outside, and she's like, Dad, Dad, Dad!
01:03:17.000And I go out, and it is so different than anything you've ever seen, that I go, Tommy, Tommy, look at the fucking sky.
01:04:37.000But this was like, I think it was pre-social media days.
01:04:40.000Oh no, this was Instagram days, Instagram stories, because as I was talking to Tommy, I put on Instagram stories and I recorded it.
01:04:47.000It didn't record our audio, which I thought would be a viral fucking clip, because both Tom and I thought we were getting invaded by aliens.
01:04:53.000And I'm watching it, but it is, Joe, it is like...
01:04:57.000It's pretty freaky to see something like that.
01:04:59.000Can you imagine if you did see something like that and it was aliens?
01:05:03.000Do you know how wild that day would be?
01:05:05.000Do you know the wild the day of like three football field sized ships just penetrating to the Los Angeles atmosphere and start hovering over the city?
01:05:21.000Just alerting us to their presence and just saying, enough is enough.
01:05:54.000You've got to give people freedom because if you keep taking away freedom, eventually it's going to come for the things that you hold dear.
01:06:00.000That's just a thing that happens and everybody wants less.
01:06:03.000You've got to control people more and do this.
01:09:40.000So if you went bonkers with Adderall, if you had some dude who could just give you all the Adderall you need, like some homie that works at the Adderall factory, and he sells you a barrel of these fucking things, if you just chewed him all day long, you would just be like a person doing meth.
01:09:55.000Well, if I'm not mistaken, and I apologize if this comes out weird, but I think that's what Mulaney said in his special, was that Adderall was one of his problems, too.
01:10:50.000And I shouldn't say darts because I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
01:10:52.000This was a long-ass time ago, like in the 70s and shit.
01:10:56.000There's some great books that were written about those days.
01:10:59.000But these guys would play for 24 hours, 48 hours.
01:11:03.000They'd stay up for days just taking pills and gambling until one guy goes broke or one guy quits.
01:11:10.000They didn't want people quitting on anybody, so the thing is, if you're up ahead, so if you and I were gambling, and you're ahead of me, and you have all of my money, and I want to keep gambling until I'm completely broke, you're obliged to drain the person.
01:11:25.000You're obliged to carry it out to the bitter end, because maybe that guy might claw his way back.
01:17:41.000I'm sitting there, and I'm sitting in my man cave, or my gym, is my man cave now, my gym, and I'm on the computer, and I just feel a little, like, saliva in my cheek right here, like, right there.
01:24:48.000This is the first war we're getting to watch start on TV. We're watching a war start like a fucking Super Bowl.
01:24:54.000So sit down with me and let's watch the fucking war.
01:24:57.000And I was like, wait, we're watching a war?
01:25:00.000He was like, yeah, it's on CNN. Watch this.
01:25:03.000And you remember the fucking Iraq war?
01:25:06.000When we were kids, you were probably like 18. Yeah.
01:25:09.000And then they just like, B2B, and you'd watch a fucking Tomahawk missile head in, and you're watching people walk into the fucking Capitol in night vision, and I'm like, oh, this is fucking crazy.
01:25:25.000And I can't speak for Tommy, but I know Tommy was really close with his dad, and I think his dad, for lack of better words, I hope this comes off respectful to my dad, was a little bit more of a man.
01:30:30.000But there was this argument that they just can't let them get to a point where there's no predators for wild horses, and they just start overwhelming the population in some of these areas.
01:30:43.000There's cattle that graze in these areas, and the horse and the cattle compete for food.
01:30:50.000But there's a lot of wild horses in this country.
01:32:17.000The best way to control populations is either you send someone out to kill them or you let people hunt them.
01:32:25.000And for all the other animals, like the deer species and elk and stuff, they let people hunt them and that's how they keep populations in check.
01:32:32.000But with this one, it's like you can't...
01:33:53.000But the thing about these wild dogs is like once you've got a population of wild dogs breeding in the woods, you basically got something that's kind of like a wolf.
01:40:07.000The attack isn't on video, but him thrashing in the water afterwards is, and then they pull him out and the arm missing and pulling the tourniquet on with a guy with a cigarette hanging out over him.
01:40:30.000We would swim in the lake knowing at any moment a gator could take you away from your family and take him back to his nest and sit with you in his mouth for fucking four days until your body rotted and then they do the death roll on the bottom.
01:42:10.000How many deadly snakes does Australia have?
01:42:13.000Because I think they've got nine of the ten deadliest snakes.
01:42:17.000We went canyoning, I think it's called, where you just, you like, repel and climb up rocks, but you're going down a canyon through waterfalls and stuff.
01:42:26.000And the guy was like, keep away, like, anytime you saw debris on the side, keep away from it.
01:42:30.000You know, we got the two-step spider or whatever.
01:42:33.000The spiders there are fucking next level.
01:42:36.000What's it called, the two-step spider?
01:49:55.000Not to get back to what makes you the man you are and what makes me the man I am, where I go, I want everyone to be pleased.
01:50:02.000When I got bullied, and my bullying was pretty physical, because it was an all-boys Catholic high school, and everyone was like, boys will be boys.
01:50:10.000I got beat up a couple times, just beat up.
01:51:48.000And what's interesting about both those times, both those men, and I guarantee you they're listening, and they may know who they are, but both those men got publicly shamed and kind of shunned by our friend groups.
01:54:23.000And he goes, I don't know if they're gonna let you do it.
01:54:25.000And I said, I know, but I just, I'm listening to Joe, and And, like, if you're a little bit of a lighthouse for us comics, where, you know, you've always given me great advice, and I'm hearing you say it third-hand through a podcast.
01:54:59.000Sometimes, you know, when a guy's his first big movie, you know, they'll tell you what to do and give you advice that might not necessarily work with your personality.
01:55:09.000Well, people want to be safe, and they don't want to get fired, man.
01:55:13.000Everyone's got a BMW, and they've got to pay the payment.
01:55:15.000Bro, imagine being the lady that decided to do that Bud Light campaign with Dylan Mulvaney.
01:57:40.000Or is there no forgiveness in a large corporation that attaches...
01:57:45.000Is it a lesson for the other corporations if you want to attach yourself to polarizing viewpoints and things that are hot-button social topics?
01:58:34.000Because if they can do it with that, then it keeps moving further and further down the line, and then you've got some weird new quasi-freedom.
01:59:10.000It's how, I won't say anyone's name, so I don't want to drag up all stuff, but how a couple dudes got caught.
01:59:15.000They who they wore a pin on the carpet and then activists like hold on you got shit in your closet Get the fuck out and so a lot of people just it's like Even it's for the best cause in the world if someone's getting you to join join us Join us now.
01:59:33.000Yeah, you're part of these weird things that people do when they join groups, you know, it's like if you had pins On, and you came with them, maybe?
02:01:17.000Some of my favorite human beings are black.
02:01:20.000My bus driver, who I love to death, Ron, I was like, well, is he thinking this about me?
02:01:25.000And then you post to Black Square, and then it's the other side.
02:01:28.000Oh, so you're one of those cuck cowards.
02:01:30.000And then you eliminate the comments, and god fucking damn.
02:01:35.000And then you're like, I guess I'm throwing my phone into the river.
02:01:40.000Yeah, man, it's a tribal thing that happens with human beings, especially with polarizing ideas.
02:01:47.000You know, whether it's a woman's right to choose, or whether it's pro-choice, or whether it's, you know, do you support Black Lives Matter?
02:01:57.000The real problem becomes when people enforce compliance, and they want you to comply, whether it's like they're doing it socially, whether they're threatening your livelihood.
02:02:08.000Like, you can force people to think a certain way if it...
02:02:35.000And I'm like, I don't even know what's fucking happened.
02:02:37.000And then I... And then you sit there for a moment, you sit at your desk, and you find out what's going on, and you write something, and you go, I know this is gonna, like, I know some of these LA parents that I'm friends with, or some of my, you know, aren't gonna like my stance right now,
02:03:43.000I'm not going to fucking sit there in the comments and start fighting with people.
02:03:46.000I got into fucking indigenous mascots last night randomly on a fucking someone else's post and I'm reading all these comments and I'm getting worked up and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:03:56.000I like the old school mascot for Florida State.
02:04:09.000I could see why people would be so upset, obviously.
02:04:13.000We used to say the word in a way, like, if you were, like, using it in a sentence, like, talk about a Richard Pryor routine, if you were...
02:04:25.000It didn't seem as offensive then as it does now.
02:04:27.000Now it seems like impossibly offensive.
02:04:30.000That's what's interesting is that there's no words that are really that way where it's positive if certain people use it and negative if other people use it.
02:05:35.000But that's what's so weird about that word, is that it's the only word where the amount of melanin in your skin predicates whether or not you can say it.
02:05:46.000Where you're from that dictates where you can say it.
02:05:48.000It's a word that is privileged to a certain group.
02:05:53.000Obviously, it's a terrible slur pointed at people.
02:05:58.000But when they're using it the way they want to use it, whether it's in hip-hop lyrics or whether it's in stand-up comedy, when they're using it the way they want to use it, It's a beautiful, like, social tool.
02:07:29.000And you're like, and here's the thing I was trying to think of last night.
02:07:33.000I wanted to talk to you about that thing you're doing, because I was like, it's really brilliant.
02:07:38.000And one of the things I was thinking is like, It's possible that white people don't have a word that is as explosive or volatile to us that means so much.
02:09:04.000And we're aware of that social interaction, but at the same time, There was this time where people thought, like I remember reading the word in high school during reading Huck Finn,
02:18:10.000But also, the majority of people were killed by diseases they had no immunity for.
02:18:16.000And that's probably what happened with the Mayans, too.
02:18:19.000When they think about, like, where this civilization that created these incredible structures, like, how did this happen?
02:18:26.000You go back to Cabeza de Vaca, when there's a great book called The Land So Strange.
02:18:33.000And it's all about these guys from Spain landing in Florida and making their way and running into the Mayans and like, what the fuck is going on down there?
02:18:50.000What these guys encountered when they're talking about, when those early settlers encountered these incredible cities where people had all these gold ornaments and this incredible sophistication, and then when people went back later,
02:19:28.000That's what happened to 90%, they think, of the Native Americans.
02:19:33.000And happened probably throughout the Micronesia, probably, when James Cook started to discover everything?
02:19:41.000Well, that's also one of the reasons why North Sentinel Island, that island where that missionary went and got murdered by the natives, They think that the reason why they're hostile to people is that at one point in time there was this guy who was a famous explorer slash pervert who used to travel around and take photographs of people dressed up in Roman costumes and shit.
02:20:06.000A lot of these people, they went to a bunch of these sort of uncontacted islands and they kidnapped some people and got a bunch of people sick.
02:20:14.000And a few people died from whatever they got sick from.
02:20:17.000And so I think they've always connected people that visit them with sickness and death.
02:22:16.000It's because you hold a horse's mouth open to see how long the tooth was, and that's not how old they were.
02:22:21.000And then you start looking at old people's teeth, especially their bottom teeth, and they're really fucking long, and you're like, oh, wow, holy shit.
02:24:32.000And then the other guy who always seemed like he got sliced on his eye by a glove during a fight and he had to tap out because he got sliced by a glove.
02:24:39.000He used to fight against Randy all the time.
02:25:08.000You think about all those guys, right?
02:25:10.000Those are like the guys that started, the guys that were the one that piqued our interest.
02:25:15.000They ran UFC. Ran UFC. And then you look at like Izzy and fucking Conor, and you see how much money someone like Conor makes.
02:25:24.000And I always wonder if those guys look at Conor and go like, shit, man, you're welcome for the path I carved through the road, because you would have never gotten there.
02:27:50.000I'm saying this, but like, I had Tim on my podcast very early.
02:27:53.000And then all of a sudden, like, you're like, hey, introduce me to Chris DiStefano, and all these guys that are like, you never had any jealousy about you.
02:28:01.000You always were generous with your platform and with your fans.
02:28:05.000And maybe not enough people know that, and maybe not enough people appreciate Just the feeling that we as a community have for you because you gave us things.
02:28:14.000Not money, not anything, but just opportunities.
02:28:17.000I said this to Big Boy on a podcast the other day.
02:28:21.000You never cared about one-upping anyone.
02:31:01.000You were the settler that came into a bunch of indigenous people and gave us the sex box.
02:31:05.000Because there's, I mean, you know, it's like...
02:31:09.000Well, we have to take credit to the store, too, because it all really came to fruition at the store.
02:31:15.000It's like the camaraderie that we all had at the store.
02:31:18.000And that, you know, it was like the first group that actually benefited from each other rather than, you know, if you and I were both up for the same role in a sitcom, we're friends, but we see each other auditioning.
02:31:31.000And it's like, and some guys will get shitty with you.
02:31:34.000You know, I've experienced that before in auditions.
02:31:37.000I was like, oh god, people insult you just to try to fuck with your head or try to make you feel bad before you go into the room.
02:31:45.000But we didn't have that because we sort of made it in a time when the internet was coming alive.
02:31:54.000And as our careers advanced, the internet did too.
02:31:58.000And what happened was we all became a benefit to each other instead of a liability.
02:32:04.000To have really funny friends that you could do podcasts with was great.
02:32:08.000We would do each other's shows and we would all have fun together and then we would go to the Ice House and do shows there and do this and do that.
02:32:15.000Because everyone became a great asset instead of a liability.
02:32:22.000So instead of like a competition, like, oh, he might get the part, it became, oh, and then we also realized that when you do a bunch of shows like we were doing at the Ice House with a bunch of killers...
02:33:03.000I said one of the best jokes I had on Secret Time was not...
02:33:07.000I go to film Secret Time, and the week before I spent every night at the store, and I said, I want to make sure where these holes are, because that's a pretty honest audience.
02:36:19.000If you would have told me that you telling that story on the podcast would not just become like a part of your act you have to tell every time, it would also become a fucking movie that's about to come out.
02:38:05.000If comedies do well in the theater, Next summer, your lineup has got Shane Gillis, in the movie theater, Shane Gillis, Tim Dillon, Mark Norman, fucking Tom Segura, Burkroy.
02:38:21.000If you go out and you spend your money to support live comedy like we know our fans do, support it in the theaters.
02:38:28.000Get our backs in the theaters to prove to the studios that our sense of humor is real and it translates.
02:38:38.000And if you enjoy comedies like I do, there's only one way.
02:40:15.000Once you break your budget, once you break 30 million...
02:40:19.000All of a sudden, all that money starts flowing into the studios and the networks, or the studios and the production companies, and they're like, fuck, let's do that again.
02:40:27.000And then we'll sell it to the streamer, and we'll make our money back, and then we'll make it then some, and we're making more money.
02:41:09.000And these fucking movies, if they do well in the theaters and all of a sudden these dudes who are running these studios that have the access to the big pockets that go, I'm telling you right now, the machine does well, I can guarantee you two things.
02:42:49.000Now, granted, you're the same as me, a little bit...
02:42:53.000Chansey, say some fucked up shit every now and then, who knows where we're going?
02:42:57.000You get a company like Spotify or a company like Netflix who stands behind what you say, and they go, we support free speech.
02:43:03.000You just gotta let them know, because they do that because the money's coming in.
02:43:07.000The studios haven't seen the money come in yet.
02:43:10.000The studios need to be convinced the same way Netflix and Spotify have been convinced that free speech and comics talking wild and doing wild shit is profitable and that our fans right here will go out to the movie theaters and then all of a sudden I'm telling you it's a game changer.
02:44:14.000Then you look at Stepbrothers, Stepbrothers.
02:44:17.000Is there, should I leave that in, that Porky's as well?
02:44:19.000No, I mean, I've watched, I have a VHS tape of it airing on public, normal TV, like NBC late at night, and they have all the bad shit edited out.
02:45:12.000I mean, look at how many guys, look at what, you know what Gillian Keeves did offline, like, when he released it, when they released it to the fan base, said, hey, here, pay this.
02:47:54.000So he was like, you know, you gotta make sure that everything's soft and the sound is like, everything's soundproofed.
02:48:02.000We did that when this last tour we were doing arenas and I upgraded my package to have like a legit lighting package and legit sound brought in.
02:49:17.000I want the show to feel, I want you to, if you're paying to see me in an arena, I want you to know that I am appreciative of that dollar and I'm gonna put money back into the show.
