00:00:00.000 Did something.
00:00:00.000 Gotta find something though, right?
00:00:02.000 Gotta find a struggle.
00:00:03.000 It's very important to have a struggle.
00:00:05.000 Gotta have something you gotta accomplish.
00:00:07.000 Cause you're competitive.
00:00:07.000 Are we live already?
00:00:08.000 Oh shit, we're live. 1.00
00:00:09.000 We're competitive, baby. 1.00
00:00:10.000 There's a little bit of that.
00:00:11.000 What's going on, man?
00:00:12.000 What are you looking for?
00:00:13.000 It's all over there.
00:00:13.000 Man, you.
00:00:13.000 How do I turn the headphones?
00:00:15.000 Oh.
00:00:16.000 Over there.
00:00:16.000 Which one is it, Jamie?
00:00:21.000 Check, check, [...
00:00:23.000 Oh, he's in my ears.

00:00:25.000 What's up?
00:00:26.000 We're live.
00:00:26.000 Hey, you, man.
00:00:26.000 How are you?
00:00:27.000 It's crazy how we looked at each other when we walked in.
00:00:29.000 I know.
00:00:30.000 It is crazy.
00:00:30.000 Like we wanted to embrace.
00:00:32.000 Well, we did.
00:00:33.000 You embraced, man.
00:00:34.000 You've been.
00:00:34.000 I wanted to lean into you.
00:00:36.000 We've been at it, huh?
00:00:38.000 It's been a long time. 1.00
00:00:40.000 Damn, man. 0.99
00:00:40.000 What's up now? 0.99
00:00:41.000 Where do you go now?
00:00:42.000 I don't know.
00:00:43.000 Just try to stay alive.
00:00:44.000 Keep moving.
00:00:45.000 No, you're doing it.
00:00:46.000 You're doing it, man.
00:00:48.000 I remember, who's asking you to go up one day?
00:00:51.000 Who's asking you to go up one day and stand up?
00:00:53.000 You called out somebody. 1.00
00:00:55.000 You called out a motherfucker. 1.00
00:00:57.000 Oh, you mean you didn't see him? 1.00
00:00:58.000 Is that what you're talking about?
00:00:59.000 I just gotta get into that.
00:01:00.000 We get into the crates.
00:01:01.000 We gotta get into the crates, baby.
00:01:04.000 That was crazy when we was doing stand-up.
00:01:08.000 It was like gunslingers.
00:01:10.000 What happened with it?
00:01:12.000 Nothing.
00:01:12.000 You called him out, though.
00:01:13.000 Well, that was a bad situation.
00:01:16.000 He was stealing everybody's jokes. 0.99
00:01:17.000 Am I bringing up the wrong shit? 0.99
00:01:19.000 No, no, it's okay. 0.99
00:01:19.000 Okay, because I thought I was getting the eye out. 0.99
00:01:21.000 I tried to be nice.
00:01:22.000 I thought I was getting the eye out.
00:01:23.000 No, no, no.
00:01:24.000 You're not bringing the wrong thing.
00:01:25.000 You can talk about anything.
00:01:26.000 You're Jamie Foxx, dude. 0.99
00:01:27.000 You can talk about whatever the fuck you want to talk about. 0.98
00:01:29.000 Because the terrain we were just talking about off mic about how we would have been in jail. 0.99
00:01:36.000 Yeah.
00:01:38.000 Had there been social media...
00:01:40.000 Back when he was coming up.
00:01:42.000 We'd have life.
00:01:42.000 We'd have double life.
00:01:43.000 I'd be looking at you and myself. 1.00
00:01:44.000 Yeah, you had to kill Carlos.
00:01:46.000 Well, we were talking about everybody that came up in the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s.
00:01:52.000 Everyone before social media.
00:01:53.000 The wild lives that they led.
00:01:55.000 You can't do that anymore.
00:01:57.000 You can't do it.
00:01:57.000 And what this conversation came for, for all y'all just tuning in.
00:02:01.000 We were talking about Chris Brown.
00:02:03.000 I'll see Chris Brown.
00:02:04.000 He'll come out my house. 1.00
00:02:05.000 He'll just sit there and go, what the fuck? 1.00
00:02:07.000 You know? 1.00
00:02:08.000 And I said, listen, you're just too talented, for one.
00:02:11.000 Cats like him and Justin Bieber, who've been blessed with extra.
00:02:15.000 They look good.
00:02:17.000 They can fight.
00:02:20.000 They're athletic.
00:02:22.000 And they sing.
00:02:23.000 They can dance.
00:02:24.000 The first time I met Chris Brown, this is crazy.
00:02:27.000 I'm throwing a party in Miami, and it's me and Colin Farrell, Eddie Murphy, who was still in it.
00:02:34.000 This is years back, like 2005, maybe, I think.
00:02:38.000 Yeah, 2005. And so I'm hosting a party.
00:02:42.000 We're in Miami.
00:02:44.000 The crowd's going crazy, but down, not in the VIP, it's some kids dancing. 1.00
00:02:49.000 I'm like, who the fuck is that? 1.00
00:02:50.000 He's dancing and all that shit. 1.00
00:02:52.000 And so my DJ, DJ Irie, goes, yo, man, that's a new kid, Chris Brown. 0.75
00:02:56.000 Yo, he about to be the next one.
00:02:58.000 I said, yeah, but he think he can dance because, you know, I know how to dance. 1.00
00:03:01.000 I'll go fuck him up. 1.00
00:03:02.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:03:02.000 This young mama gonna know who I am. 1.00
00:03:04.000 I'll come down and fuck him up. 1.00
00:03:05.000 And it was like, Fox, okay. 1.00
00:03:06.000 So I go down.
00:03:07.000 Now, you know, it's sort of my time.
00:03:10.000 And so everybody's following me.
00:03:11.000 I'm about to go battle whoever this kid is.
00:03:14.000 So I say, yeah, bro.
00:03:15.000 You think you can dance, huh? 0.98
00:03:16.000 And I did like some kind of bullshit pop-locking move. 0.99
00:03:20.000 Listen to me. 0.98
00:03:20.000 We're all jammed together, right? 0.98
00:03:24.000 He doesn't do a move.
00:03:26.000 You know what he does?
00:03:27.000 He does a backflip.
00:03:29.000 But the way he did the backflip, and he's 6'2", he's standing in the middle of the crowd, he jumped over the crowd, did the backflip up here, and came straight down and said, what's up? 1.00
00:03:39.000 I said, motherfucker, I'm gonna leave you the fuck alone. 1.00
00:03:42.000 I don't know what the fuck that, that's some Avenger shit. 1.00
00:03:46.000 And I just remember going, I said, that dude, when he gets on, but then social media catches on, and then it's just hard. 0.99
00:03:54.000 It's hard to live.
00:03:56.000 When you're in social media, and I tell them all the time, social media sort of makes you color inside the lines.
00:04:03.000 Yeah, or try to.
00:04:05.000 Or try to.
00:04:06.000 Yeah.
00:04:06.000 Or like this.
00:04:08.000 It makes you tuck your artistry in sometimes.
00:04:11.000 A little bit.
00:04:11.000 Does that make sense?
00:04:12.000 Tuck your crazy in. 1.00
00:04:13.000 Tuck your crazy in. 1.00
00:04:14.000 You tuck your artistry in. 1.00
00:04:15.000 Like, I didn't know what a meme was.
00:04:17.000 You know, I'm... 1.00
00:04:18.000 You know, shit, I'm a fucking... 1.00
00:04:19.000 I was just catching on the MySpace and shit shifted. 1.00
00:04:23.000 So, my daughter sends me a picture of Rihanna, right? 0.98
00:04:28.000 Going to the Met Ball.
00:04:30.000 And by the time I got the picture, whatever happened, the picture was Rihanna...
00:04:36.000 And in this yellow dress.
00:04:38.000 And I hit my daughter.
00:04:38.000 I said, I love the dress.
00:04:40.000 It's amazing.
00:04:41.000 I don't understand the pizza that's in it.
00:04:44.000 But, you know, maybe that's, you know, she's giving a nod to Italy where maybe she got the dress from.
00:04:50.000 She's like, no, Dad, that's a meme.
00:04:52.000 I said, what?
00:04:53.000 That's a meme.
00:04:54.000 I said, what do you mean?
00:04:55.000 She said, no, there's actually not a pizza in the dress.
00:04:58.000 Somebody crafted or fixed it there.
00:05:03.000 They made it look like it's pizza because it's trailing behind her. 0.97
00:05:07.000 And so me, I'm thinking, well, what the fuck does it mean? 0.99
00:05:11.000 I said, so this girl worked her whole fucking night. 1.00
00:05:16.000 To get this dress to go to the Met Ball, which is you're supposed to be, you know, out the box, and somebody puts a pizza on it, and that's all you see is a pizza. 0.98
00:05:26.000 I said, how do you compete with that?
00:05:27.000 How can you be Michael Jordan? 0.82
00:05:29.000 And kids run up to you and say, you're the crybaby face. 1.00
00:05:35.000 You're a crime man! 0.99
00:05:35.000 They're called a crime man! 0.99
00:05:37.000 Well, memes are like the best thing on the internet.
00:05:39.000 It's one of the best things about the internet, is people being able to make funny.
00:05:42.000 It's the best thing, but watch this though.
00:05:45.000 Once it sticks, that's what I'm saying.
00:05:48.000 Once it sticks, you're like, oh.
00:05:49.000 Once it sticks, it sticks.
00:05:49.000 Yeah, I mean, Michael Jordan, to somebody under the age of 18, he the crybaby face, man.
00:05:55.000 Hey, man, they go to the crybaby face.
00:05:56.000 Hey, man, and then you know how fans do it.
00:06:00.000 Hey, man, cry right quick, God.
00:06:01.000 Yeah.
00:06:04.000 Let me get you crying. 1.00
00:06:05.000 It's so true. 0.84
00:06:07.000 Yeah, man.
00:06:08.000 Well, we were talking about Jon Jones and how Jon Jones is fighting this weekend. 1.00
00:06:13.000 Jon Jones is a wild motherfucker. 0.98
00:06:16.000 And that's why he's the greatest light heavyweight of all time. 0.99
00:06:19.000 Because he's so...
00:06:20.000 It's part of what he is.
00:06:21.000 You have to have it.
00:06:22.000 We were talking about being with Mike Tyson.
00:06:25.000 Mike Tyson, back in the day, you couldn't...
00:06:28.000 That's why when people say, like, why does Mike Tyson...
00:06:31.000 First of all, he's a fighter.
00:06:32.000 He's not a tennis player.
00:06:33.000 But Mike was a wild boy.
00:06:35.000 And to hang out with him, you could understand, like, he was the biggest person on the planet.
00:06:44.000 And he had the demons.
00:06:45.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:06:46.000 But he's fun, too.
00:06:47.000 Because you see him in a club, and he sees some girls, and he'd be like, fine, how you doing?
00:06:51.000 Yeah.
00:06:52.000 You like BMWs?
00:06:53.000 The girls be like, what? 0.96
00:06:54.000 Do you like BMWs?
00:06:55.000 You like cars?
00:06:56.000 You like BMWs?
00:06:57.000 And crazy, he'd take the girls out and go get a BMW. I mean, he was that crazy. 0.87
00:07:02.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.88
00:07:03.000 Come on, let's look at the BMW. And we'd open up the BMW dealership.
00:07:06.000 But he was wild.
00:07:07.000 But I say, just like how we were saying off here, you can't have that type of...
00:07:18.000 We're good to go.
00:07:43.000 But he's also going to give you something to anchor that.
00:07:46.000 Because I believe, this is what I believe in.
00:07:48.000 And you tell me if you believe this.
00:07:49.000 I believe in the yin and the yang of everything.
00:07:51.000 Meaning like when there's absolute light, there has to be absolute darkness to balance it out.
00:07:57.000 And that's what everything that we do.
00:07:59.000 It's sort of like we're not going to get away.
00:08:03.000 With anything.
00:08:04.000 Like anything that happens to you in life, you have to pay for it.
00:08:08.000 It's like the grocery store.
00:08:09.000 Okay, I got the career.
00:08:10.000 Boop! 0.95
00:08:11.000 Gotta pay for that.
00:08:11.000 Okay, I got the money.
00:08:12.000 Boop! 0.95
00:08:13.000 Okay, I gotta pay for that.
00:08:14.000 Then, here come the family.
00:08:15.000 Boop! 0.95
00:08:15.000 Yeah, I need that money. 0.95
00:08:17.000 Boop! 1.00
00:08:17.000 Yeah, you fuck with me. 1.00
00:08:18.000 I'm gonna release a story about you. 1.00
00:08:21.000 So it's all of these different things that you gotta pay for.
00:08:24.000 And that's why you see these guys like that. 0.99
00:08:26.000 Because, you know, like I said, talking to Justin Bieber, you know, with everything I said, some of this shit is supposed to happen to you. 0.99
00:08:32.000 It has to. 0.98
00:08:33.000 Otherwise, think of the success that kid's had at 20 years old.
00:08:36.000 It's impossible. 0.98
00:08:37.000 I was just reading some shit about him canceling his tour because he just had too much work. 0.99
00:08:41.000 I mean, he's just going crazy, I guess. 0.95
00:08:43.000 But he's made $93 million this year.
00:08:46.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:08:46.000 Like, Jesus Christ, he's fucking 20. And for us, we like shit. 1.00
00:08:51.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:08:51.000 Because, you know, I ain't 20. I'm like, motherfucker, I'm going to take that 90 million. 1.00
00:08:55.000 I'm going to go do a million. 0.99
00:08:56.000 But we can't be in his mind and we can't see how it is.
00:08:59.000 He grew up that way.
00:09:00.000 He grew up that way.
00:09:01.000 Never had a normal life.
00:09:03.000 And you don't expect.
00:09:04.000 Like, I always tell kids who want to be in this business to please wait.
00:09:09.000 Like, even when my kids say, just wait.
00:09:11.000 Wait till you can understand. 0.94
00:09:13.000 Like, I was able to be grown and have some grown shit happen to me and just regular life shit happen so that when this happened... 0.52
00:09:20.000 I still have a point of reference to get back to. 0.92
00:09:23.000 Because you know, like I know, you've interviewed everybody.
00:09:26.000 This business affects you in such a way where you'll see one person one day.
00:09:32.000 I won't say the comedian's name, but I remember a comedian back in the day did like half of an HBO whatever.
00:09:38.000 And then the next week I saw him, he had 12 bodyguards.
00:09:42.000 And they were pushing me back. 1.00
00:09:43.000 I was like, what the fuck, man? 1.00
00:09:44.000 Yo, man, yo. 1.00
00:09:45.000 No, not right now. 0.98
00:09:46.000 You just got crazy. 0.97
00:09:47.000 Got crazy.
00:09:47.000 They get crazy.
00:09:48.000 They get crazy.
00:09:50.000 And I won't say the names, but there's been a couple of guys.
00:09:54.000 I'll never get this one dude hit.
00:09:57.000 And I went up to try to say something to him.
00:09:59.000 And for some reason, he had a white suit on.
00:10:02.000 We were in a club. 1.00
00:10:03.000 Why the fuck does he have this white suit on in these big shades? 1.00
00:10:07.000 And I went to talk to him. 1.00
00:10:08.000 And he said, not right now, man.
00:10:09.000 I'm rich.
00:10:11.000 He said that?
00:10:12.000 That's what he told me!
00:10:13.000 In front of everybody.
00:10:14.000 Not right now.
00:10:15.000 They got me rich. 1.00
00:10:16.000 Goddamn. 0.99
00:10:16.000 Just let me be rich and famous right now. 0.99
00:10:19.000 I don't want to hear your pitch.
00:10:21.000 Because I was going to pitch him something.
00:10:22.000 I said, man, you think you could...
00:10:23.000 Get away! 1.00
00:10:24.000 And I was like...
00:10:24.000 That's hilarious.
00:10:25.000 And as he said it, I had to sort of like...
00:10:27.000 Okay.
00:10:28.000 But that's...
00:10:29.000 You know, that's what happens.
00:10:30.000 But you got to be careful.
00:10:31.000 That tide goes in and it goes out.
00:10:33.000 And people come up and they remember.
00:10:36.000 They remember. 0.99
00:10:37.000 They remember when you fucked with them. 1.00
00:10:38.000 And we've seen them. 1.00
00:10:40.000 We've seen them.
00:10:41.000 But being a comedian, we get...
00:10:43.000 We get a chance to sit in a different seat because our jobs are observational.
00:10:51.000 We still all have our own demons, but it's just different.
00:10:54.000 You also get humbled a lot as a comedian.
00:10:56.000 You gotta get those jokes.
00:10:58.000 You're performing in front of a live audience.
00:10:59.000 It's all live. 0.99
00:11:01.000 It's gotta work, and if it doesn't work, shit, you gotta go back to the drawing board, you gotta assess. 0.98
00:11:07.000 Actors don't get a lot of that. 0.97
00:11:08.000 That's one of the reasons why they're kind of shaky.
00:11:10.000 More shaky.
00:11:11.000 Yeah, right?
00:11:11.000 They don't get a lot of, like, that testing it live in front of people, that humility that comes with that.
00:11:16.000 You don't, and it's tough.
00:11:17.000 I was talking to an actor, another actor, and it's tough, because, see, I'm a comic who became an actor, so I'm cheating.
00:11:24.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:11:24.000 I can go do this and I can go...
00:11:26.000 I'm going to be in St. Louis tomorrow, you know, doing some jokes.
00:11:28.000 So I can, you know, I got to get my thing off.
00:11:30.000 But just actors...
00:11:33.000 It's tough.
00:11:34.000 Well, you've figured out a way to balance three careers.
00:11:36.000 You sing, too.
00:11:38.000 I mean, you could do anything.
00:11:39.000 You're a weird guy in that way.
00:11:40.000 You got a lot of weird talent yourself.
00:11:42.000 You're talking about Justin Bieber and Chris Brown.
00:11:45.000 You've got some weird ability to shift, too.
00:11:49.000 But I've been fortunate in the fact that now things have opened up.
00:11:53.000 Like, you know, back in the day, you could only do one thing. 0.99
00:11:57.000 I would never forget, Keenan Ivory Wayans told me, he said, Yo, what's with the singing shit? 1.00
00:12:03.000 Yo, you Wanda, motherfucker. 1.00
00:12:04.000 I can't see. 1.00
00:12:05.000 You trying to sing and shit. 1.00
00:12:06.000 Or I would try to sing it for a girl. 0.99
00:12:08.000 I'd be like, can you see that love is real?
00:12:12.000 And the girl would be like, ooh, Jamie, stop. 0.99
00:12:13.000 You too funny in the face.
00:12:16.000 Your face is too funny.
00:12:17.000 I see Wanda singing to me.
00:12:18.000 You funny.
00:12:19.000 That's cornball.
00:12:20.000 Stop. 1.00
00:12:21.000 So I was like, fuck, maybe I'll never sing. 1.00
00:12:23.000 So I was doing, of course, the stand-up, doing the Wanda shit. 0.99
00:12:28.000 And then it wasn't until, literally, I was throwing these parties in my crib. 0.98
00:12:34.000 And I would always throw parties for musical guys.
00:12:37.000 So I threw a party for Puff.
00:12:39.000 Puff comes and big party.
00:12:41.000 It's like 2,000.
00:12:42.000 Puff is there and it's all about him.
00:12:45.000 He got mad at me a little bit because I would follow him.
00:12:48.000 I would actually follow him with a camera because at that time, Puff was the biggest guy in the world.
00:12:54.000 You couldn't even get in his parties.
00:12:55.000 So the way I would get in his parties, I'd show up with a camera. 1.00
00:12:58.000 Like, yo, Puff, you need to document this shit. 0.99
00:13:00.000 And he turned around. 0.99
00:13:01.000 What's up, Playboy?
00:13:02.000 I said, yeah, let me get that, man.
00:13:03.000 Ain't nobody getting this.
00:13:03.000 And it wasn't back in the day with the, you know, with the camera phone.
00:13:06.000 I had the big fucking cannon that you put on your shoulder and the light and the shit. 0.99
00:13:10.000 I said, let me change the battery. 1.00
00:13:11.000 Let me get all this shit, right? 0.98
00:13:13.000 So at one point I told him we were actually in Philly and he was throwing a party and he said, yo, Playboy, this party's a million and a half dollars. 0.99
00:13:22.000 I said, like, for what?
00:13:25.000 I mean, what are you saying?
00:13:26.000 He said, it costs a million and a half dollars to throw this party.
00:13:29.000 I said, Puff, oh my God, I love it.
00:13:31.000 The party's amazing.
00:13:31.000 Yes, the mayor is here and everything.
00:13:33.000 I said, but that's too much money.
00:13:34.000 I said, you come to my place in L.A., I'll throw your party for 400 bucks that will rival this party. 1.00
00:13:41.000 And he got a little mad because, you know, he was like, yo, no, I'm known for this shit. 1.00
00:13:44.000 Don't front. 1.00
00:13:45.000 I said, no, I'm not.
00:13:46.000 I respect you.
00:13:46.000 I said, but L.A., I just know how to get around.
00:13:49.000 So he gets to L.A. And he calls me early in the morning. 0.99
00:13:53.000 Yo, Playboy, make that shit happen. 1.00
00:13:55.000 It was a Saturday. 1.00
00:13:55.000 I said, cool. 1.00
00:13:55.000 I go in on my phones. 1.00
00:13:57.000 And by 12 o'clock in my small house in Tarzana, and God bless my neighbors that live there, I'm no longer there.
00:14:02.000 I know they wanted me to get out of there because I was too much.
00:14:05.000 But the party's fevered pitch, and I invited the right people, you know, the right girls who were beautiful, but not too tight, not too, you know, just everything was great. 0.99
00:14:13.000 The guys, wasn't no haters there, you know, because L.A., you know, man, fucking, fucking good. 0.97
00:14:17.000 No, it wasn't any of that. 0.97
00:14:18.000 It was the right guys, and he shows up.
00:14:22.000 And when he shows up, he goes, that's the girl on that TV show.
00:14:25.000 Oh, that's the girl in the movie. 0.90
00:14:26.000 I said, yeah, we're friends.
00:14:27.000 It's like, we all hang out here, so it's like, you know, it's all good.
00:14:31.000 And that's the girl.
00:14:31.000 I said, yeah, yeah.
00:14:32.000 I said, but look at the party.
00:14:33.000 I said, look over there on the table.
00:14:34.000 I got Kentucky Fried Chicken, but I put it in a nice plate.
00:14:39.000 I got Coca-Cola, but it's just in a picture.
00:14:41.000 I said, we're at 280 bucks right now and counting.
00:14:44.000 I won't go over 400. And he had the most incredible time, right?
00:14:47.000 But at that party was all musical people, and I did it for a reason.
00:14:51.000 At that party, Missy Elliott, of course, she had her room.
00:14:54.000 Everybody's going crazy with Missy Elliott.
00:14:56.000 I'm going to my garage, and there's two guys, a little guy like this and a tall guy.
00:15:01.000 The little guy goes, yo, beep.
00:15:03.000 Yo, it's like this all the time, B? I said, yeah, who are you?
00:15:06.000 He said, we the Neptunes.
00:15:08.000 My name is Pharrell.
00:15:09.000 I said, yeah, man, I heard of you.
00:15:10.000 That's how long ago this was.
00:15:11.000 Wow.
00:15:12.000 So he's like, can I? I said, just go ahead and have a great time.
00:15:14.000 There was another guy standing on the wall, green jacket, like a green little jumpsuit.
00:15:20.000 Nobody was talking to him.
00:15:22.000 Guess who it was?
00:15:23.000 Who?
00:15:24.000 Jay-Z. Nobody knew.
00:15:27.000 I said, what's up, man?
00:15:27.000 Yeah, what's going on?
00:15:28.000 It's a great party.
00:15:32.000 So, Jay-Z, you know, no one knows.
00:15:36.000 And now, the way I got into the music, however, is that all these different parties was going on, and I would have, like, different musical people leave me music in my little studio that I built.
00:15:47.000 I went and got this great studio built in the back of my house.
00:15:50.000 And so one day, in comes this kid, backpack on, Jaws busted.
00:15:56.000 Who is it?
00:15:57.000 Who?
00:15:58.000 It's Kanye.
00:15:59.000 Oh, his jaw is busted from like a car accident, right?
00:16:01.000 Yeah, Kanye walks in.
00:16:02.000 And I said, who's that? 0.99
00:16:03.000 They said, oh, that's a new motherfucker Kanye, man. 1.00
00:16:05.000 He about to be the shit. 1.00
00:16:06.000 I said, what do you do? 1.00
00:16:07.000 Well, he produces, but he also raps.
00:16:08.000 I said, well, anybody come to my house, they got to perform.
00:16:11.000 So I said, yo, man, they say, you know, you rappers.
00:16:13.000 He rapped the most incredible, I don't know if it was freestyle.
00:16:15.000 It was incredible.
00:16:16.000 I said, I don't know why you aren't famous.
00:16:18.000 He did it with a broken jaw?
00:16:19.000 Yeah, the jaw was a little swollen.
00:16:21.000 I don't think it was broken, but it was a little swollen because it wasn't too long after that accident that he had, right?
00:16:27.000 And then he goes, I got a song that you'll be good on. 0.74
00:16:35.000 I got this song, I know you could kill it.
00:16:38.000 I was like, me?
00:16:39.000 Song?
00:16:39.000 Goofy face?
00:16:42.000 Wanda?
00:16:43.000 From a living color?
00:16:44.000 He said, yeah. 1.00
00:16:44.000 I said, oh shit, cool. 1.00
00:16:45.000 So we go in the back. 0.99
00:16:46.000 I just got the studio in the back.
00:16:48.000 So he sings.
00:16:49.000 He says, the song's gonna go, she say she wants some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross.
00:16:54.000 So I said, I got it.
00:16:56.000 She say she wants some Marvin Gaye.
00:17:00.000 He's like, what are you doing?
00:17:01.000 I said, well, I gotta put the R&B on it.
00:17:03.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:17:04.000 I'm a real singer.
00:17:05.000 I've been singing.
00:17:05.000 He said, don't do that.
00:17:11.000 I don't just sing a song because it's hip-hop.
00:17:15.000 And I said, okay, cool.
00:17:15.000 So I begrudgingly sung the song.
00:17:18.000 I'm thinking, the song's whack.
00:17:20.000 He's not going to make it.
00:17:21.000 So I went off.
00:17:22.000 I did a bad movie.
00:17:23.000 I come back about six weeks, eight weeks later.
00:17:26.000 That song is number one. 0.99
00:17:28.000 My boy goes like, you remember that song you said wasn't shit? 0.99
00:17:30.000 It's number one in the country. 0.99
00:17:32.000 And then that's how I got into the music.
00:17:34.000 So, long story longer, it's like, yeah, you can do all of the things, and there's a lot of actors and actresses that can.
00:17:41.000 You just need those opportunities.
00:17:43.000 Just like in life, when your opportunity comes, if you prepare for it, Now you can jump into it and grab it.
00:17:50.000 And what I was told was by my guy, Breon, who does all of my music.
00:17:55.000 He found Slow Jams.
00:17:57.000 He found Goldick.
00:17:59.000 He found Blame It On The Alcohol. 1.00
00:18:00.000 He says, you got to stop singing funny shit and sing a real record. 0.99
00:18:04.000 And once you sing a real record and not say it's you singing it, now you got to better go. 1.00
00:18:09.000 So now, after all of those years...
00:18:13.000 The people that grew up with me doing stand-up or watching...
00:18:17.000 They're older, and they're the young folks.
00:18:20.000 It's like...
00:18:22.000 You're the Kanye man.
00:18:24.000 Just like how the guys are now going up to Michael Jones.
00:18:28.000 So as I get older...
00:18:30.000 You hope that you're blessed with opportunities and, you know, it's an old saying, but to sort of reinvent or reintroduce yourself to people who may not know who you are.
00:18:39.000 Well, it's also guys like you have other interests.
00:18:42.000 You have more than one interest.
00:18:43.000 You don't just want to be funny.
00:18:44.000 Yeah.
00:18:45.000 There's a lot going on in there. 0.99
00:18:46.000 It's a lot, you know, but like we all are, like comedians, we got a lot of shit that we want to get out. 0.98
00:18:53.000 And like I said, being a comedian, we used to have. 0.99
00:18:57.000 It's getting crazier.
00:18:58.000 It's getting tough on us.
00:19:00.000 As far as, you know, everything we say, you know, they want to come kill us.
00:19:05.000 Right.
00:19:06.000 I mean, I did one, I did Jimmy Fallon.
00:19:11.000 One seating that Jimmy Fallon and every organization wanted to get me.
00:19:15.000 What did you say?
00:19:17.000 I was doing a joke.
00:19:20.000 We were singing these funny songs about who let the dogs out.
00:19:24.000 And so we took who let the dogs out and put it in like a vaudeville or a show tune.
00:19:30.000 Who let the dogs out? 1.00
00:19:31.000 Whatever it was, right?
00:19:32.000 But beginning of that, I sort of ad-libbed.
00:19:35.000 I was watching these dogs and they were coming towards me.
00:19:38.000 And I was wondering, you know, who let them out?
00:19:41.000 And there was a pit bull there. 0.97
00:19:42.000 And, you know, you have to be careful because pit bulls can be cantankerous.
00:19:45.000 And then I go on to the song.
00:19:47.000 The Pitbull community.
00:19:49.000 It was like, Jamie Foxx says, Pitbull shamed us.
00:19:53.000 Pitbull shamed?
00:19:54.000 I'm Pitbull shaming! 0.90
00:19:55.000 And then there was another thing where Jimmy Fallon was doing some type of...
00:20:03.000 He was saying what was going to be on the next show.
00:20:06.000 And I was doing a bad version of signing, which I actually know how to sign.
00:20:12.000 But I was doing a bad version of it.
00:20:13.000 You know sign language?
00:20:14.000 I know sign language.
00:20:14.000 We'll talk more about it later.
00:20:16.000 You know, all those types of different things.
00:20:18.000 But as I was doing it, as a joke, I didn't know that the person that he was talking about happened to be deaf.
00:20:26.000 Oh, no.
00:20:26.000 Oh, my God.
00:20:27.000 And so then, you know, so it's just all these things.
00:20:30.000 And I try to tell people, I say, hey, listen, we never mean anything bad.
00:20:34.000 We poke fun, but we don't mean anything bad.
00:20:37.000 But you can't just, you know, you can't kill us because I got to keep doing what I do, you know.
00:20:42.000 So it's getting tougher.
00:20:44.000 Well, it's just what we're talking about, about social media, about people commenting on things and you can't read the comments.
00:20:50.000 There's just too many people.
00:20:51.000 And people are always looking for something to be recreationally outraged at. 0.99
00:20:55.000 Yeah, and the comments will get that ass, too. 1.00
00:20:56.000 The comment will hit you right where you are sometimes. 1.00
00:20:59.000 Damn, this motherfucker's right. 1.00
00:21:01.000 Well, it's good too though a little bit I mean they're right when they're actually right like someone can say something ridiculous about you and if you know It's ridiculous. 1.00
00:21:08.000 It doesn't mean anything, but if it's got a hint of truth you like But when somebody says something about your teeth You kind of look in the mirror.
00:21:16.000 I don't understand. 1.00
00:21:17.000 I got fucked up I guess somebody hit me with the donkey the fucking donkey. 1.00
00:21:22.000 I was like So, you know, but I tell people all the time, don't read the comments. 1.00
00:21:30.000 That's the book.
00:21:30.000 Don't read the comments because it will make you start to change the way you do things.
00:21:34.000 If I read all of the comments, I never tell another joke.
00:21:37.000 Yeah.
00:21:38.000 If I read all the comments, I never try another, you know, I got a movie that we just shot for a little or nothing called All-Star Weekend, and the jokes are like all the way out there, you know, and it's, I got everybody in it, you know, and we're all taking, we all play different characters. 0.71
00:21:53.000 Like I play a white racist, white racist cop.
00:21:58.000 How do you do that? 0.99
00:21:59.000 I'll show it to you.
00:22:00.000 I'll grab this thing and show it to you.
00:22:02.000 But Robert Downey Jr. plays a Mexican. 1.00
00:22:05.000 Gerard Butler plays a Russian who loves gymnastics.
00:22:09.000 Benicio Del Toro plays this crazy tattoo artist.
00:22:11.000 And we're all doing our thing.
00:22:14.000 So it's like if you read the comments, that'll make you tuck that in.
00:22:17.000 But this is some brilliant...
00:22:18.000 And it's a cool little thing, too.
00:22:21.000 It's called All-Star Weekend for a reason.
00:22:23.000 It's about two guys.
00:22:23.000 One guy loves Steph Curry.
00:22:25.000 The other guy loves LeBron James.
00:22:27.000 And all they're trying to do is get to the All-Star game.
00:22:28.000 And it's sort of like this whole journey of running into all these people.
00:22:31.000 So it's dope. 0.98
00:22:32.000 But it is some things where it's like, ooh, you know, you can see there's going to be some shit going on. 0.98
00:22:37.000 Well, Robert Johnny Jr., just from Tropic Thunder, think about that. 0.97
00:22:40.000 You can never do that anymore.
00:22:41.000 You can't have blackface anymore. 1.00
00:22:43.000 You know what?
00:22:44.000 I'll say this.
00:22:46.000 People have to understand where it comes from.
00:22:48.000 There are real people out there that really mean you harm.
00:22:52.000 Like, outside of us. 0.99
00:22:53.000 I mean, there's some real people who really don't fucking like you. 0.99
00:22:55.000 Whatever you are. 0.99
00:22:56.000 Whether you're black, you're white, you're straight, you're gay, whatever it is.
00:22:59.000 There's some people who really don't like...
00:23:00.000 We're the entertainment.
00:23:02.000 And it's easy...
00:23:03.000 We're easy targets.
00:23:05.000 We're easy...
00:23:05.000 It's easy for you to jump on Robert Downey Jr. or Jamie Foxx or Joe because...
00:23:11.000 It's easy.
00:23:12.000 You know, when it's real things, which, you know, whether it's politics or whatever, a lot of times we sort of, we're not ready for that fight.
00:23:21.000 But it's easy to sort of pick the comedian.
00:23:23.000 I called Robert.
00:23:24.000 I said, listen, I need you to play a Mexican.
00:23:25.000 He says, dude, here's the deal.
00:23:27.000 Sure. 1.00
00:23:28.000 Fuck it. 1.00
00:23:29.000 Sure. 1.00
00:23:29.000 Why not? 1.00
00:23:29.000 Fuck it. 1.00
00:23:30.000 Sure. 1.00
00:23:30.000 Of course. 1.00
00:23:31.000 Mexican, whatever.
00:23:32.000 But then he texts back and said, I'm nervous to play the Mexican. 1.00
00:23:39.000 I said, well, shit, you played the black dude. 1.00
00:23:41.000 And you kill that shit, we're just all, you know, we gotta be able to do character. 1.00
00:23:45.000 What kind of blowback did he get from playing the black dude? 1.00
00:23:49.000 None. 1.00
00:23:50.000 Because we fucked with him. 0.99
00:23:51.000 Before The Wire, too, though. 0.99
00:23:52.000 It was like, what year was Tropic Thunder?
00:23:54.000 I feel like that was like 10 years ago.
00:23:56.000 It was a while.
00:23:57.000 But here's the thing. 0.99
00:23:58.000 We fucked with Robert Downey Jr. Like, that's our guy. 0.99
00:24:01.000 Like, I did his birthday party. 1.00
00:24:03.000 And my first joke was, how dare you take all of these roles from black people? 0.99
00:24:08.000 You know, and everybody's laughing. 0.79
00:24:09.000 So it's sort of like the entertainers, man.
00:24:13.000 You got to give us room.
00:24:14.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:24:15.000 Like to play in it.
00:24:16.000 I'll show you when I... Or you got to take that room.
00:24:18.000 You got to take it.
00:24:19.000 You can't worry about...
00:24:21.000 I saw Chappelle somewhere.
00:24:22.000 It was like, you know, they were asking him about his jokes. 1.00
00:24:24.000 And he's like, yo, man, look, you know, people have said worse shit. 1.00
00:24:27.000 And I think he said something about Donald Trump saying grab him by the pussy or some shit, whatever. 1.00
00:24:31.000 But it was true. 1.00
00:24:32.000 It was like the one thing...
00:24:35.000 That you look at what happened with politics this year, people sort of stripped away a lot of things, regardless of what you believed in.
00:24:45.000 Whatever person you voted for, there was a lot of things that were sort of addressed about, like, maybe we were playing things a little too close.
00:24:54.000 Like, some of those politicians were afraid to say what Donald Trump was saying, and they ended up being left in the dust because people were a little like, well, he's got a point in the sense that we're playing things a little too close.
00:25:05.000 So when you look at that as a comedian, it's like, wow, that was good for me in a certain way.
00:25:12.000 First of all, it's great jokes.
00:25:14.000 Two, it does say, are we becoming too fragile when it comes to our race, like black folk?
00:25:23.000 Like I say, yeah, some people are racist and some people are perceptionists.
00:25:26.000 You know what that means?
00:25:27.000 No.
00:25:28.000 The perception is...
00:25:29.000 Okay, the perception in America was the white man, Donald Trump, can be president.
00:25:34.000 The woman can't do it. 1.00
00:25:35.000 Perception.
00:25:36.000 Doesn't mean that if you vote for Donald Trump that you're racist.
00:25:39.000 I don't think everybody's racist because that was a big thing.
00:25:42.000 Sometimes it's perception.
00:25:44.000 I'll make it clear.
00:25:45.000 Okay. 0.97
00:25:46.000 I do a joke in front of all black people. 1.00
00:25:48.000 And I said, black people are very interesting people because we deal with racism and perceptionism.
00:25:55.000 I said, because we're very nervous flyers, right?
00:25:58.000 We don't like to get on planes. 0.99
00:25:59.000 First thing we do when we get on the plane, we see who's flying this motherfucker. 0.99
00:26:02.000 We look in the cockpit. 1.00
00:26:03.000 If we look and see a black guy, we will stop and go, hey, how long you been flying, bro? 1.00
00:26:12.000 You got your hours with you? 0.62
00:26:13.000 And it was the perception.
00:26:15.000 And don't let a woman sit next to him. 1.00
00:26:16.000 Oh, shit. 1.00
00:26:17.000 We good? 1.00
00:26:18.000 It could be a bright, sunny day.
00:26:20.000 It's like, how's the weather?
00:26:21.000 Oh, we're good.
00:26:22.000 And then as you're sitting in that seat, anytime you hit a bump, my brother, we straight?
00:26:28.000 Same situation.
00:26:29.000 You go in the cockpit.
00:26:31.000 You see that white guy with that salt and pepper hair.
00:26:34.000 And those aviators and his forearm hair like this.
00:26:37.000 And it's storming outside. 1.00
00:26:38.000 Shit. 1.00
00:26:38.000 Fly this shit through a hurricane. 1.00
00:26:40.000 So it's the perception that we have to talk about sometime. 0.99
00:26:44.000 Does that make sense?
00:26:45.000 Oh, it definitely makes sense.
00:26:47.000 Yeah.
00:26:47.000 You know, there's definitely that.
00:26:49.000 The Donald Trump thing is funny.
00:26:51.000 You know who said it best?
00:26:52.000 Alonzo Bowden.
00:26:53.000 You know Alonzo?
00:26:54.000 A funny comedian.
00:26:55.000 He said, he goes, not all Donald Trump supporters are racist, but all racists are Donald Trump supporters.
00:27:07.000 He definitely awakened that side.
00:27:10.000 But I will say this, like I said, the perception gets us all too.
00:27:15.000 Because my daughter, it was interesting, my oldest daughter, when the election happened and when the results came in, Dad, I'm so mad, I can't take it.
00:27:27.000 I said, well, we're going to go march.
00:27:28.000 I said, well, did y'all vote?
00:27:29.000 Not all of us, but you know...
00:27:31.000 I said, well, you know, you got to get out there because their perception was she had it in the bag.
00:27:36.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:27:37.000 So you got to get out there and be, you know, whatever that is.
00:27:40.000 Yeah, whatever that is indeed.
00:27:41.000 These are weird times for everybody.
00:27:43.000 You know, because I think social media is allowing people to express themselves.
00:27:47.000 Everybody's expressed themselves.
00:27:48.000 And people are forming groups.
00:27:50.000 You know, they're just like, you know, they're progressive or they're liberal or they're conservative.
00:27:58.000 Everybody has a voice.
00:27:59.000 Everybody has a voice.
00:28:00.000 There's so much voices.
00:28:01.000 I'll say this.
00:28:02.000 Maybe you can appreciate this.
00:28:04.000 Because we're living in two worlds.
00:28:06.000 We lived when it wasn't here.
00:28:09.000 It's discretion.
00:28:12.000 Social media allows you not to have discretion.
00:28:14.000 You're able to go in and type whatever you want to say.
00:28:18.000 And usually, that's what we pay attention to.
00:28:22.000 Discretion is this.
00:28:23.000 We're sitting at the dinner table and, yo, I said something that you didn't like, but the discretion was, I'll address that later.
00:28:31.000 Right.
00:28:31.000 So now that you don't have any discretion, anybody's voice can be heard.
00:28:36.000 Not everybody.
00:28:40.000 How do you say it?
00:28:41.000 Not everybody has a point.
00:28:45.000 That we should hook all of our wagons to.
00:28:48.000 What I notice is that we will hook our wagons to the most extreme point.
00:28:52.000 And that may be only 2,500 people.
00:28:55.000 Like when my homies would hit me and say, man, you hear what they're saying, man, about so-and-so?
00:28:58.000 I said, how many views did it get?
00:28:59.000 80,000 views!
00:29:00.000 I said, there's 8 million people in Philly alone.
00:29:03.000 Why are you just listening to those 80,000 people?
00:29:05.000 So you sort of have to put balance in the way you sort of sift through it.
00:29:09.000 Does that make sense?
00:29:10.000 It does make sense.
00:29:10.000 Yeah.
00:29:11.000 Well, the way I try to put it out to people, if you run into a room and there's 100 people in that room, what are the odds that one person is a fucking idiot? 1.00
00:29:18.000 100%, right? 1.00
00:29:19.000 Yeah.
00:29:20.000 One person.
00:29:20.000 Almost every room of a random group of 100 people.
00:29:23.000 And I'm being very, very polite.
00:29:25.000 One person.
00:29:26.000 Yeah.
00:29:26.000 That means...
00:29:27.000 Probably a few.
00:29:28.000 Probably a few.
00:29:28.000 But let's go with one.
00:29:30.000 One out of a hundred. 1.00
00:29:31.000 So that means there's three million fucking idiots in this country. 1.00
00:29:36.000 Right. 1.00
00:29:36.000 Just straight idiots. 1.00
00:29:38.000 Right. 1.00
00:29:38.000 Non-fixable idiots. 1.00
00:29:40.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:29:40.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:29:41.000 So if you're going to read comments...
00:29:43.000 You're opening yourself up to that.
00:29:45.000 If you're going to get your opinion swayed by people who just want to see if they can affect you. 1.00
00:29:50.000 Just want to see if they can fuck with you. 1.00
00:29:53.000 Just see if they can change you. 1.00
00:29:55.000 Get you to change the way you're dressing.
00:29:56.000 And that's what I don't like.
00:29:57.000 That's the part I don't like.
00:29:58.000 So I tell all of my artists and all my friends, don't change.
00:30:01.000 Don't read it.
00:30:02.000 Because what happens is everybody starts coloring inside the lines and now nobody's dangerous anymore.
00:30:07.000 Right.
00:30:07.000 Because you remember back in the day, Madonna, dangerous.
00:30:10.000 Boom.
00:30:10.000 Madonna come out naked.
00:30:11.000 You know, just dance into the Grammys like it's all good.
00:30:13.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:30:14.000 So, what I hope, what I always say, just don't tuck your art in.
00:30:19.000 Don't tuck your art in for the comments because we'll end up not having anything.
00:30:23.000 Not having anything to celebrate that is...
00:30:28.000 That is good.
00:30:29.000 Like having something to celebrate. 0.99
00:30:30.000 Somebody did a song that was dope or a movie that was dope or got outside the box as opposed to what we love celebrating, which is the crazy shit. 0.99
00:30:36.000 You know what I mean? 0.99
00:30:37.000 Yeah.
00:30:38.000 Well, especially for comics.
00:30:39.000 Yeah.
00:30:40.000 Because it's one person.
00:30:41.000 If you do a crazy movie, there's a lot of people involved.
00:30:44.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:30:44.000 If you're on stage and you say something fucked up, it's just you. 0.98
00:30:47.000 Yeah. 0.97
00:30:48.000 Well, I'm going back out, so it's about to happen.
00:30:51.000 I'm going to be passing out a whole bunch of gift baskets.
00:30:53.000 Yeah.
00:30:54.000 Because I'm going back out and I, you know, like...
00:30:56.000 How much time did you take off?
00:30:58.000 I've never actually taken off because I still do gigs.
00:31:01.000 Like, I got a gig tomorrow, St. Louis, you know, private gig, whatever.
00:31:04.000 But it's just...
00:31:06.000 You know like I know.
00:31:08.000 Like, as a comedian, you got to live.
00:31:10.000 Like, I just can't jump out there and just start talking or writing jokes. 0.99
00:31:15.000 Like, I've lived through some crazy shit. 0.94
00:31:16.000 So I got to go out there and talk about that. 0.98
00:31:18.000 You know, had I not, I'd be like, oh.
00:31:20.000 Because the one thing I hate is...
00:31:23.000 The one thing that's tough for a comedian is to become successful. 0.99
00:31:27.000 Because we talk from a shit-is-fucked-up point of view, and I gotta have a little anger, and I gotta have a little poke fun. 0.99
00:31:35.000 And if I become what I poke fun at, then I can't get it off. 0.99
00:31:39.000 That's why at my house, people coming to my house, my daughter used to ask me this, Dad, why is this room not...
00:31:45.000 There's nothing in it.
00:31:46.000 I said, I don't want to complete the house.
00:31:49.000 Because it gives me a sense of, like...
00:31:53.000 I'm still trying to get on.
00:31:54.000 I don't put all the pictures.
00:31:57.000 Nothing is perfect in my crib.
00:31:59.000 There's a curtain right now that's torn open in my bedroom.
00:32:02.000 What's going on with Jay Fox?
00:32:04.000 He's not getting them checks, man.
00:32:06.000 What's going on?
00:32:06.000 I just got to leave it like that.
00:32:08.000 I keep my house a little... 0.99
00:32:09.000 A little fucked up? 0.99
00:32:10.000 The dysfunctional mansion. 0.99
00:32:12.000 I'll talk about that.
00:32:13.000 The dysfunctional mansion where there's always somebody...
00:32:15.000 Like the other night, there's Odell Beckham in my house.
00:32:18.000 Battle dancing Chris Brown.
00:32:21.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:32:21.000 Like, who does that?
00:32:22.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:32:23.000 I just... 0.97
00:32:23.000 Just crazy shit happening at my house all the time so I could... 0.97
00:32:26.000 I have something to link my... 0.83
00:32:28.000 You know, hitch my comedic wagon to.
00:32:30.000 So you create chaos on purpose in a little bit of a way.
00:32:33.000 I just leave it...
00:32:36.000 Slight disarray?
00:32:36.000 I don't remove myself from it.
00:32:39.000 I don't get behind the gates. 1.00
00:32:41.000 Behind the gates is the worst shit. 1.00
00:32:43.000 Behind the gates? 1.00
00:32:43.000 Behind the gates. 1.00
00:32:44.000 When you get behind the gates, when you reach a certain point and you're behind the gates, you can't really see.
00:32:48.000 I'm out.
00:32:49.000 I gotta be out with the people.
00:32:50.000 I gotta have people.
00:32:51.000 Like, I had a BET party, right?
00:32:54.000 3,000 people in my house.
00:32:57.000 Counted.
00:32:57.000 Jesus.
00:32:58.000 People at the gate, you know, trying to get in.
00:33:01.000 And as I look through the party, there's Floyd Mayweather.
00:33:04.000 All time.
00:33:04.000 Y'all, you know, what's up, Jay Fox?
00:33:06.000 What's up, baby?
00:33:06.000 How you doing?
00:33:07.000 All time.
00:33:07.000 You got the race party.
00:33:08.000 I love you, baby.
00:33:09.000 You know, got the fight coming, Jay.
00:33:10.000 You know, so there's Floyd.
00:33:11.000 There's Fat Joe.
00:33:12.000 There's Lil' Kim is on stage performing. 0.98
00:33:16.000 And then I look around.
00:33:19.000 And I see some of the homies, like the real guys, like, what's up, Fox? 0.99
00:33:22.000 It's a nice party right here, cuz.
00:33:24.000 Love it. 0.99
00:33:25.000 I'm like, oh, shit. 0.99
00:33:26.000 So it's all of these mixtures of people that I can still touch, hang out with. 0.98
00:33:31.000 People from my community, her name is Anka.
00:33:35.000 She's like the unofficial mayor in our cities. 1.00
00:33:39.000 Old little white lady from Germany. 1.00
00:33:41.000 And she's on the dance floor dancing with Snoop.
00:33:45.000 Snoopy is great.
00:33:47.000 Snoopy is so good in the weed.
00:33:49.000 I don't know.
00:33:50.000 It's crazy.
00:33:51.000 So I sort of keep it that way so I can stay loose.
00:33:53.000 So when I go out, I got... 0.98
00:33:56.000 I got shit that I could talk about from the hood to the White House. 0.99
00:33:59.000 So you still manage to stay a regular person. 1.00
00:34:02.000 Got to.
00:34:03.000 But that's a hard thing.
00:34:05.000 For someone who's achieved as much success as you have, that is not an easy balancing act.
00:34:10.000 To stay normal.
00:34:11.000 Because you must get overwhelmed by requests and people just wanting your time and wanting to hitch themselves to you.
00:34:19.000 But you gotta...
00:34:20.000 Look, I think what helps me is the failures.
00:34:25.000 Like...
00:34:26.000 Doing a couple of movies that don't...
00:34:28.000 What was that?
00:34:30.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:34:31.000 Like, damn, Fox. 1.00
00:34:32.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:34:32.000 Going through TSA. They don't speak to you. 1.00
00:34:36.000 Your movie is out!
00:34:37.000 And they're like, come on through.
00:34:39.000 They don't even make eye contact.
00:34:40.000 Come on through.
00:34:40.000 All right, good.
00:34:41.000 Going through. 0.99
00:34:42.000 Damn, the movie's out. 0.99
00:34:43.000 So... 0.99
00:34:44.000 Or you just get the TSA. Damn, Fox, what you doing, baby? 0.99
00:34:48.000 What was that shit, the last shit, dog? 1.00
00:34:49.000 I had to watch that shit on five stick, my nigga. 1.00
00:34:52.000 So it's like you appreciate those, which keeps you regular, keeps you humble. 0.99
00:34:59.000 And you just got to sort of look at other people and see how...
00:35:04.000 People in our business, when they do get behind the gates, you know, you've seen comics that get that thousand mile stare and I don't want to be funny no more.
00:35:13.000 Why don't you be funny no more?
00:35:15.000 That's how you came up.
00:35:15.000 I want to be sexy now.
00:35:18.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:35:18.000 They all fall into the sexy.
00:35:20.000 Nah, I want to stay funny, keep the teeth goofy, keep my head looking goofy, hairline, whatever it is.
00:35:25.000 Because that's what I draw upon when I go out.
00:35:28.000 Because people can sense it.
00:35:30.000 Don't you think?
00:35:31.000 Oh yeah.
00:35:31.000 Yeah, I think stand-up is kind of, in some ways, it's like a mind meld or a mass hypnosis.
00:35:37.000 Like you're connecting with the audience and if there's anything false about what you're thinking or what you're saying, some of them at least can feel it.
00:35:45.000 Sometimes all of them, but some of them can feel it.
00:35:48.000 And it'll fuck with the energy of the room.
00:35:50.000 But if you're in the groove, you're really being yourself.
00:35:53.000 That's why when you see Dave on stage, one of the things about Chappelle is that he's always himself.
00:35:58.000 He can just be himself.
00:35:59.000 And so you relax as an audience member and slide right into his mind.
00:36:04.000 And he takes you on a journey.
00:36:05.000 Because he's himself.
00:36:06.000 He's not disconnected by fame and celebrity.
00:36:10.000 And that way, he was genius how he passed up all that money.
00:36:15.000 Yeah.
00:36:15.000 And just went to Africa.
00:36:17.000 Yeah.
00:36:17.000 And just settled in and then came back and didn't do any scheduled gigs for years.
00:36:23.000 Yeah.
00:36:23.000 He would show up with a speaker and set up a speaker in a park in like Seattle and just gather a crowd around and start doing stand-up.
00:36:31.000 Yeah.
00:36:31.000 See, but that's what I'm saying.
00:36:33.000 It's like, how do you find that?
00:36:35.000 He figured it out.
00:36:36.000 I don't know how he did it.
00:36:36.000 Well, I agree with that because, like I said, if you...
00:36:43.000 Success can sometimes be our coffin.
00:36:47.000 Especially, like I said, when you're a comic.
00:36:49.000 Even all the way down to the way I handle...
00:36:51.000 Like, social media is interesting.
00:36:54.000 And me just sort of brand new on it.
00:36:57.000 And what people view.
00:36:59.000 Like, I was...
00:37:00.000 And this is sort of off subject, but I was just talking about how people view you.
00:37:05.000 I went to the gas station, and I put on these shades...
00:37:11.000 And then I took a picture of him.
00:37:12.000 I thought it was cool.
00:37:13.000 I needed some, just pick up some, you know, $14 shade, whatever.
00:37:17.000 And I put it on, I took a picture with him.
00:37:20.000 And my Instagram blew up. 0.99
00:37:22.000 Like, oh shit, what's this? 0.99
00:37:23.000 I read the comments. 1.00
00:37:24.000 Like, man, where you get the shades at, man?
00:37:25.000 Those little Ferragamos, Gucci's.
00:37:27.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:37:28.000 Like, what are those dogs?
00:37:29.000 Hey, let me get at it.
00:37:30.000 I was like, wow.
00:37:32.000 It's just gas station shades.
00:37:35.000 But everybody thought they was...
00:37:37.000 You know, something else.
00:37:39.000 And I was like, nah, I don't want that.
00:37:41.000 I don't want them to think that. 0.99
00:37:42.000 I don't want them to think that I spent $2,000 on some shit, because we always lose our fucking shades anyway. 0.99
00:37:47.000 So, I actually hit my boy, Devo, and Dave Schottenstein. 0.99
00:37:52.000 I said, listen...
00:37:54.000 I want to do an eyeglass.
00:37:56.000 They're like, well, what do you want to do?
00:37:58.000 You want to go?
00:37:58.000 I said, no, no, no.
00:37:59.000 I want to do an eyeglass that costs less than $30.
00:38:04.000 I said, but what we're going to do is we're going to go through each frame and make sure each frame is tight.
00:38:08.000 Like, they're dope.
00:38:09.000 Like, amazing.
00:38:10.000 Because I told them the story about being at the gas station.
00:38:13.000 And they were like, wow, I think that's a good idea.
00:38:15.000 So we ended up doing this whole line.
00:38:17.000 I went through all 200 frames.
00:38:18.000 And we did this line.
00:38:20.000 It's called a Privé Revo, right?
00:38:24.000 And everybody thought that it was something else.
00:38:30.000 30 bucks.
00:38:32.000 $30 shades.
00:38:33.000 And now even J-Lo, Bella Thorne, all these other people are wearing the shades because what we noticed when we did do that, people embraced it a little more.
00:38:42.000 Because we did a commercial that we almost made a mistake where we get clothes on and we tell people how much the clothes cost and People got turned off because the jeans were like $400.
00:38:57.000 The jacket was $2,000. 0.99
00:38:58.000 They were like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:38:59.000 And we're like, no, what we were trying to say was, although these clothes cost this, our glasses only cost $30. 0.99
00:39:05.000 So that story in itself, I take that and run with that and say, I'm not the guy buying the high-end stuff.
00:39:15.000 I want to keep it Sort of cool and regular.
00:39:18.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:39:19.000 Yeah.
00:39:20.000 Does that make sense?
00:39:21.000 It does.
00:39:21.000 Yeah, I know a really rich dude who drives a pickup truck.
00:39:24.000 He's rich as fuck, and he just likes to drive around in a shitty old Toyota pickup truck. 0.99
00:39:28.000 He likes it. 1.00
00:39:29.000 And why he do that?
00:39:30.000 Because he wants to feel normal.
00:39:31.000 He wants to feel grimy.
00:39:33.000 You want to feel normal.
00:39:34.000 He doesn't wash his hands sometimes, got dirt under his fingernails, pretends he's a farmer. 0.99
00:39:37.000 And can buy the whole fucking world. 1.00
00:39:40.000 People are weird like that, man. 0.99
00:39:42.000 But we have to balance both because, you know, being urban, I got to step out there and shine sometimes, too.
00:39:49.000 My boy has, you know, we get out there and we show a little bit of the success, you know what I'm saying, just to let people know we're still doing our thing.
00:39:57.000 I love the expression, being urban.
00:39:59.000 I'm urban.
00:40:01.000 How did that happen?
00:40:03.000 How did it become urban?
00:40:04.000 What year was that?
00:40:05.000 I'm actually joking.
00:40:06.000 I'm black. 1.00
00:40:07.000 I tell people all the time, I'm an N-I-C-C-H nigga. 1.00
00:40:10.000 All the time. 0.98
00:40:11.000 If I lose being that, then I gotta have that.
00:40:16.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:40:17.000 Does that make sense?
00:40:17.000 Oh, totally.
00:40:18.000 Yeah, I gotta have that.
00:40:19.000 No, I get it.
00:40:20.000 You gotta have everything.
00:40:22.000 Why not?
00:40:22.000 It's fun too, right?
00:40:23.000 Yeah, it's fun too, but I gotta have that part.
00:40:26.000 I gotta always have that sort of like a can't leave where I came from because that's what they try to snatch from me.
00:40:33.000 That's why we did the television show.
00:40:35.000 Chris Spencer and Buddy Lewis wrote this incredible script called White Famous.
00:40:41.000 And White Famous was about a comedian who's, you know, trying to become mainstream without losing his, you know, his black audience, which is all these, all of us, we go through that.
00:40:51.000 Right.
00:40:51.000 You know, because the minute you start doing the, you know, the sort of soft movies and brothers be like, man, what's up, man?
00:40:58.000 You don't cuss no more, motherfucker? 1.00
00:41:00.000 Where you at? 1.00
00:41:01.000 You can't keep cussing, you know?
00:41:04.000 I think the problem with shining is when it defines you.
00:41:06.000 The problem when you just, everything is flat, like Floyd Mayweather in a way.
00:41:11.000 It's part of his persona.
00:41:12.000 It's part of why people root against him.
00:41:15.000 Like Floyd is a genius, in my opinion.
00:41:17.000 Not just a genius boxing, he's the greatest defensive boxer, in my opinion, of all time.
00:41:21.000 But also a genius in that he figured out a way where he has this style that's not appealing to a lot of people. 0.99
00:41:28.000 But what is appealing is people want to see him get his ass kicked. 0.99
00:41:31.000 And it never fucking happens. 1.00
00:41:33.000 Listen, listen. 0.98
00:41:33.000 And you know what? 0.98
00:41:34.000 Floyd's the homie. 1.00
00:41:35.000 Floyd comes by the house, man.
00:41:37.000 And I don't want to put everything out there that he does.
00:41:40.000 He's super, super competitive.
00:41:43.000 That's what's amazing.
00:41:45.000 But he also understands that.
00:41:47.000 Yo, Jay Fox, I understand what's going on.
00:41:48.000 You know, all time.
00:41:49.000 They want me to follow Jay Fox, but that's what keeps me competitive.
00:41:52.000 You know, all time.
00:41:53.000 Easy work.
00:41:54.000 Light work.
00:41:55.000 So he would sit at my crib and speak for like hours about...
00:42:00.000 The business of it.
00:42:01.000 Trying to turn these boxers' minds on. 0.66
00:42:05.000 Like, yo, get your money.
00:42:06.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:42:07.000 Get your money.
00:42:08.000 Get your business.
00:42:09.000 And then he talks about just what you said.
00:42:11.000 He says, I know the reason that I fight Oscar de la Hoya on Cinco de Mayo.
00:42:17.000 It's because they want to see the...
00:42:19.000 He carved out a niche of being the charismatic villain.
00:42:25.000 Does that make sense?
00:42:26.000 Yeah, and he wasn't in the beginning.
00:42:27.000 He wasn't.
00:42:28.000 In the beginning, he was pretty boy Floyd Mayweather.
00:42:31.000 And then he became money Mayweather.
00:42:33.000 Yeah, but had he stayed pretty boy, what... 0.99
00:42:35.000 Who the fuck knows? 0.98
00:42:36.000 I mean, he might have been like Sugar Shane Mosley or something. 0.99
00:42:39.000 But not really because Shane had lost to a few guys.
00:42:42.000 What Floyd did better than anybody is not get hit.
00:42:46.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:42:47.000 He's been hit like six times.
00:42:48.000 Right, right, right.
00:42:49.000 Like really hard, like six times ever.
00:42:51.000 Him and Zab Judah.
00:42:52.000 Yeah.
00:42:53.000 Zab Judah. 0.90
00:42:54.000 His defining fight was the Morales fight when he fought Morales, God bless.
00:42:58.000 It was amazing.
00:43:00.000 And he also said that that hit that Sugar Shane hit him, he'll tell you, he said that hit, when Sugar Shane touched him, he said that really, he said that shook me. 0.97
00:43:09.000 He said, Jay Fox, you gotta kill me, Jay Fox. 0.99
00:43:10.000 You gotta kill me. 1.00
00:43:12.000 He said, that's why I dug in. 1.00
00:43:13.000 You see the end of the round.
00:43:15.000 In the end of the round, he did turn it, but he's...
00:43:16.000 He got rocked in that fight.
00:43:18.000 That was one of the few moments where he really got caught clean by a world-class fighter.
00:43:21.000 Yeah, he got caught clean twice.
00:43:23.000 So it'll be interesting in his next fight coming up.
00:43:25.000 Well, Conor's not that level of boxer.
00:43:28.000 You know, someone...
00:43:29.000 I forget who it was that said it.
00:43:30.000 I think it might have been...
00:43:31.000 It was Dale LaHoy.
00:43:32.000 Yeah, but someone was saying that he's got to...
00:43:36.000 Oh, it was Pat Miletic...
00:43:37.000 Saying that he has to almost cheat within the rules...
00:43:41.000 I think he's got to fight in the clinch.
00:43:43.000 He's got to dirty box him.
00:43:44.000 He's got to figure out a way to tie him up and manipulate him and move his body around.
00:43:50.000 He's got to figure out a way to be good defensively too.
00:43:53.000 And he's got to hurt him.
00:43:54.000 Those are all high risk, low yield possibilities.
00:44:02.000 The way I described it, how would you expect the greatest figure skater in the world to do playing hockey against Wayne Gretzky?
00:44:13.000 It's not the same thing.
00:44:14.000 It's not the same.
00:44:15.000 It's not the same thing. 0.88
00:44:17.000 But it's fucking exciting. 0.96
00:44:18.000 I tell you that, I cannot wait. 0.99
00:44:19.000 It's the greatest freak show ever.
00:44:21.000 Is it crazy?
00:44:21.000 It's the greatest freak show ever.
00:44:22.000 I'm waiting for that fight more than Canelo Alvarez versus Gennady Golovkin.
00:44:27.000 Wow.
00:44:27.000 Even though that fight is the legitimate fight.
00:44:30.000 It's the legitimate fight, but I can't.
00:44:31.000 Because it's going to be some crazy. 0.99
00:44:32.000 Some crazy shit. 1.00
00:44:33.000 There's gonna be some crazy shit. 1.00
00:44:34.000 Well, also there's the mind fuck factor. 1.00
00:44:36.000 Conor's the only guy that Floyd's ever fought that can look at him and go, if this was a real fight, you'd be fucking dead. 0.99
00:44:43.000 And he knows it. 0.99
00:44:44.000 He knows it. 0.99
00:44:45.000 Everybody else Floyd's been able to fuck up. 1.00
00:44:47.000 He fucks up all of them. 0.99
00:44:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.98
00:44:48.000 You ever see that video with him and Robert Guerrero? 0.98
00:44:51.000 Right before they fought, they had this thing where they were doing photo shoots and they had them do a stare-off.
00:44:58.000 Robert the Ghost Guerrero is a fighter that Floyd fought maybe four or five fighters ago.
00:45:02.000 And he just...
00:45:03.000 Worked for 12 rounds. 0.99
00:45:05.000 Beat the shit out of him. 0.99
00:45:06.000 But he's standing right in front of him. 1.00
00:45:07.000 He's like, you ain't gonna do shit. 0.98
00:45:09.000 He's like, you're easy work. 0.99
00:45:10.000 You're easy work.
00:45:11.000 He goes, I'm just gonna stand.
00:45:13.000 He goes, no one has to get involved. 0.90
00:45:14.000 You're not gonna do shit. 0.88
00:45:16.000 He goes, we'll get right close to each other. 0.95
00:45:17.000 You're not gonna do shit. 0.98
00:45:18.000 You're easy work. 0.99
00:45:19.000 And you could see the dude was just like, oh no.
00:45:22.000 He knew.
00:45:23.000 He knew that Floyd was right. 1.00
00:45:25.000 Well, when Conor looks at him and goes, if this was a real fight, I'd fucking kill you. 0.99
00:45:30.000 He goes, I'll do your boxing thing. 0.99
00:45:32.000 It's a real fight. 1.00
00:45:33.000 I'll kill you. 1.00
00:45:34.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:45:35.000 Oh, yeah, he's right.
00:45:36.000 He's right.
00:45:37.000 Floyd could say, we'll do some MMA. He said it a couple times.
00:45:40.000 Next fight, we'll do MMA. He's not doing that.
00:45:43.000 But you know, Floyd, look, one thing Floyd is, he's smart.
00:45:47.000 Yeah.
00:45:47.000 So, look, he's got him on his playing field.
00:45:52.000 So, it's almost like you start to, like, I know, but people start to go, like, is Floyd...
00:46:00.000 Nervous?
00:46:01.000 I said, I don't know.
00:46:02.000 But I'll tell you this.
00:46:03.000 He's definitely allowing this guy to play through.
00:46:05.000 And that fight is becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:46:10.000 So it's like it's going to be great.
00:46:13.000 And the one thing Floyd would always tell me, though, he said, Jay Fox, he said, the one thing they're not ready for is the lights.
00:46:18.000 I said, what you mean?
00:46:19.000 He said, the lights.
00:46:20.000 When the lights are that bright and you look out and you see Denzel, you see all these, that's a different thing.
00:46:28.000 I don't know if it was Hatton.
00:46:30.000 I think he was talking about Hatton.
00:46:31.000 He said, the lights, man.
00:46:32.000 He said, that's the one thing I've been fighting, J5. I've been fighting under the lights since I was... 1.00
00:46:36.000 Like this.
00:46:37.000 So it's going to be interesting.
00:46:39.000 Yeah, it is going to be interesting.
00:46:39.000 It's going to be crazy.
00:46:40.000 But Conor fights under the lights too.
00:46:42.000 He's just never boxed anybody like that.
00:46:44.000 That's going to be a totally alien thing.
00:46:46.000 When he gets into that ring and he's got shoes on and he feels those big ass gloves on his hands and then he looks on the other side and he sees Floyd just moving around and getting ready.
00:46:55.000 There's going to be a shadow of a doubt.
00:46:58.000 There's going to be something in there.
00:46:59.000 It's going to be everything, Jay. 0.99
00:47:00.000 It's going to be fucking everything. 0.99
00:47:02.000 Because you think about it, they both, I mean, they got us. 0.99
00:47:05.000 They got us. 1.00
00:47:06.000 I'm going to that motherfucker. 1.00
00:47:07.000 I'm going early. 1.00
00:47:08.000 Those press conferences were amazing.
00:47:11.000 I'm already booked.
00:47:12.000 I was booked in D.C. that night in advance.
00:47:15.000 I had already sold out two shows that night.
00:47:18.000 I couldn't cancel.
00:47:20.000 You can't come?
00:47:21.000 No, I can't come.
00:47:22.000 I'm not going to be there.
00:47:22.000 I'm not going to work it either.
00:47:23.000 They wanted me to do something for it.
00:47:25.000 I can't even do it.
00:47:26.000 That's going to be the one.
00:47:27.000 I gotta figure out a way to not see it until, not know what happened and then watch it.
00:47:34.000 I'm gonna have to figure out a way.
00:47:36.000 I hope the audience will be nice and not tell me.
00:47:38.000 There's probably gonna be people watching it on their phone while the show's going on.
00:47:43.000 I guarantee you, if someone gets knocked out, I'm gonna hear, oh!
00:47:49.000 from the audience.
00:47:50.000 What joke was that?
00:47:51.000 Yeah, what happened?
00:47:52.000 It's great, man.
00:47:54.000 It's gonna be interesting.
00:47:55.000 Listen.
00:47:57.000 It's amazing.
00:47:58.000 Yeah.
00:47:59.000 Where do we go from here?
00:48:00.000 I don't know.
00:48:01.000 That's where we start.
00:48:02.000 Where do we go from here?
00:48:03.000 We just keep moving.
00:48:04.000 We keep moving, man.
00:48:05.000 You're obviously enjoying yourself.
00:48:06.000 You're a happy guy.
00:48:07.000 I'm having a good time.
00:48:09.000 For a super successful guy, you seem completely balanced and happy.
00:48:13.000 There are things that you just cannot get away from that you hide right behind.
00:48:19.000 For the most part, I did some smart stuff.
00:48:21.000 My whole family lives with me.
00:48:24.000 So I don't have to worry about it.
00:48:25.000 My father, my mom lived with me.
00:48:28.000 Oh, that's great.
00:48:29.000 Yeah, and I was adopted seven months.
00:48:31.000 So me and my biological mom are crafting our relationship now in the latter stages of her life.
00:48:41.000 But I didn't want no bullshit outside of that, where someone is sitting somewhere watching me from a distance like...
00:48:49.000 You know, so mom comes in. 0.87
00:48:53.000 And they've been divorced for almost 30 years.
00:48:55.000 It was crazy.
00:48:56.000 Wow.
00:48:56.000 So they living under the same roof.
00:48:58.000 It's hilarious.
00:48:59.000 That's a whole other show.
00:49:00.000 Wow.
00:49:01.000 And he still dates.
00:49:03.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:49:04.000 He's still getting it in, you know, be over there, and then she'll float over to his side of the house and be like, mm, and see the girl.
00:49:10.000 Hey, how are you?
00:49:10.000 Mm, how are you?
00:49:12.000 Mm, hi, George.
00:49:13.000 Who is this?
00:49:14.000 Wow.
00:49:15.000 You know, she's getting something out of her.
00:49:16.000 I just want to get something out of the refrigerator.
00:49:18.000 Mm, some spoiled stuff.
00:49:20.000 That's kind of intense.
00:49:21.000 And then you hear that on my door.
00:49:23.000 This is my pop.
00:49:25.000 Could you tell her not to come on my side of the house? 1.00
00:49:26.000 Shit. 1.00
00:49:28.000 I'm like, now, parents. 0.99
00:49:31.000 But it's certain things that I... You gotta figure out your happiness.
00:49:36.000 And the only way you figure out your happiness, you gotta try to see or foresee what's gonna be the problem.
00:49:44.000 So I get my family close to me, so whatever problem we gotta work out, we work that shit out right here.
00:49:49.000 Get my mom and my sisters and my daughters close to me so they see daddy going to work. 0.99
00:49:56.000 Like, there's still some work shit. 0.97
00:49:57.000 It's like, no, we're just not on the red carpet. 0.99
00:49:58.000 It's not just red carpet every day.
00:50:00.000 You know, I got to get up. 0.99
00:50:01.000 I got to go, you know, I got to talk shit. 1.00
00:50:03.000 I got to kiss a little ass here. 1.00
00:50:05.000 I got to do a whole lot of shit in order to keep this thing going. 1.00
00:50:08.000 So you try to, you know, in life, you try to see what, try to foresee what's going to happen. 0.99
00:50:13.000 It's still going to be something.
00:50:14.000 It's always going to be something, just outlandish.
00:50:17.000 But you try to get in front of it.
00:50:20.000 That's an interesting way to handle it, though, to bring everybody close to you, bring your whole family in your house.
00:50:24.000 Yeah, and not everybody can do that.
00:50:25.000 You know, because, you know, it's like, you know, me growing up as an only child, I like having people around.
00:50:30.000 I can't be by myself.
00:50:31.000 That's why I always would throw parties.
00:50:32.000 I would kidnap people.
00:50:34.000 Like, people come to my house, I'd be like, why you gotta leave, man? 0.96
00:50:37.000 Chris Brown?
00:50:37.000 Chris Brown, just stay, man.
00:50:38.000 I got a room.
00:50:39.000 Floyd, man, stay, man.
00:50:39.000 Where y'all?
00:50:40.000 Because I just wanted people.
00:50:41.000 But now having my family around, you got to do it.
00:50:43.000 But like I said, not everybody can do it because it's interesting.
00:50:48.000 Like my father, who has a great story, my stepfather has a great story.
00:50:52.000 You know, he was on drugs or had a situation about with drug, about with crack, ended up going to jail.
00:50:59.000 I wrote him one letter.
00:51:00.000 I said, you get out.
00:51:02.000 You know, I'll save your life.
00:51:04.000 Because I didn't like writing letters to people in jail.
00:51:06.000 I didn't like going and visiting people in jail.
00:51:08.000 He gets out.
00:51:09.000 This is around just before 9-11.
00:51:10.000 And then my stepfather was incredible in my life because he taught me how to play tennis.
00:51:15.000 So back in the 70s, in the 80s, he was like playing tennis.
00:51:20.000 I was like, wow, I've never seen a black dude play tennis.
00:51:22.000 He said, you got to learn, son.
00:51:24.000 So people like Yannick Noah, Elie Nastassi, Bjorn Borg, Vetus Gerolitis, those were like heroes of mine.
00:51:30.000 So he taught me how to play tennis.
00:51:32.000 So when he gets out, he gets out of jail and makes sure everything is cool.
00:51:34.000 I take him to the U.S. Open.
00:51:37.000 And so there he is, me and my pops, watching Venus play.
00:51:40.000 He's crying.
00:51:41.000 I'm like, yeah, this is how we gotta live.
00:51:45.000 This is what we need to do.
00:51:47.000 So he watches Venus play.
00:51:48.000 And then a couple of days after that, it was 9-11.
00:51:51.000 But he stayed with me.
00:51:53.000 He's been with me since then. 0.99
00:51:56.000 Early on, I would just go by, check the drawers, make sure there's no paraphernalia, no wrong shit. 0.99
00:52:01.000 Smoke your weed. 0.99
00:52:02.000 Cool.
00:52:02.000 Don't do no more than that.
00:52:04.000 And we've been cool since then.
00:52:06.000 And it saved a lot of money in rehab.
00:52:08.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:52:09.000 So I'm just right there, hands on. 0.99
00:52:11.000 Well, sometimes people just being surrounded by loved ones is enough to keep them from doing anything stupid. 0.98
00:52:16.000 Yeah, it can.
00:52:17.000 And it was bumpy at first.
00:52:19.000 Won't go into it because he wrote a little book and talked about it. 0.94
00:52:22.000 It was bumpy at first because when he first got out, I did some shit for him, got him this, got him a car, whatever. 0.79
00:52:28.000 He relapsed, his car gone, he's back in. 0.92
00:52:31.000 You know, so it was a couple little things that we had to work out.
00:52:34.000 But now, you know, to see him now, like, you know, you know, like, you know, we go to these different events or whatever like that.
00:52:40.000 His whole wall, he old school.
00:52:43.000 He don't do the, you know, he got the actual photos.
00:52:47.000 He go develop the film.
00:52:48.000 I got me a little film developed.
00:52:50.000 So he put the film in to develop the film.
00:52:52.000 See, and they put the film and he got a whole wall and everybody that he's met, you know, all of his heroes.
00:52:56.000 And so, like I said, you know, I try to try to look. 1.00
00:53:03.000 Try to be ahead of the curve when it comes to fucked up shit. 0.99
00:53:05.000 What about, like, when your creative time? 0.99
00:53:08.000 When you have so many people living with you, do you ever feel like boxed in?
00:53:12.000 No, that's, you know, like I know, the best way to create is to have people around.
00:53:16.000 Because I could try that joke out on them and they don't know I'm doing that joke.
00:53:20.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:53:21.000 I could try this idea, see how they respond, because your family gonna give you the real, gonna give them, man, that's terrible.
00:53:27.000 That ain't funny.
00:53:28.000 I don't want to see how you made it.
00:53:29.000 That's terrible.
00:53:31.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:53:31.000 So you always gotta, to me, having people around that tell you the truth.
00:53:36.000 You know, like everybody in my family.
00:53:38.000 You know, they tell me truth about it.
00:53:40.000 I say, hmm, that's sleepless.
00:53:41.000 I should have just stayed asleep. 1.00
00:53:43.000 I was like, oh shit, really? 1.00
00:53:44.000 It was fucked up? 1.00
00:53:45.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:53:45.000 So it's like, you know, having that allows me to create. 0.98
00:53:48.000 And then I have my own little space where I go, okay, let me get this.
00:53:52.000 Now let me, they responded to that.
00:53:54.000 Now let me put this together over here in a little space.
00:53:56.000 So you have like a little sanctuary. 0.98
00:53:57.000 Yeah, I got a little studio that I set up where I go in there and do all that shit, you know. 0.98
00:54:02.000 But it helps. 0.99
00:54:04.000 Well, listen, man, I know you gotta get the fuck out of here.
00:54:06.000 You only here for an hour, right? 0.94
00:54:08.000 Yeah, man, but it's been great.
00:54:10.000 Dude, listen, you're an amazing person, and I'm very honored to have you on here because you're one of the very few people that I know that has this well-rounded life, but also is very balanced.
00:54:24.000 You've had amazing success in all these different things, but you're as normal and approachable as anybody I know.
00:54:31.000 Gotta be.
00:54:31.000 You know why I gotta be?
00:54:32.000 Why?
00:54:33.000 You?
00:54:36.000 Because you are a speaker of truth.
00:54:41.000 And we ain't seen each other in a while.
00:54:43.000 But the one thing about your opinion is always going to be truthful.
00:54:47.000 So, you know, as us, coming from a different time, there's certain people that we want to have the real truth come from.
00:54:55.000 You, Rock, Chappelle, all these guys.
00:54:58.000 So we came up.
00:55:00.000 So...
00:55:01.000 When we're doing our art or when we're doing whatever we do, yeah, it's always going to be those people that rock with you.
00:55:07.000 But you want to get the people who have a really artistic...
00:55:12.000 Real opinion.
00:55:13.000 Does that make sense? 0.99
00:55:14.000 And if you hear them say, yo, I kind of fuck with that. 0.99
00:55:17.000 Okay, I got that. 0.99
00:55:19.000 If JR says that's cool, then I know.
00:55:21.000 And they say, why you say that? 1.00
00:55:22.000 Because that motherfucker tell you. 1.00
00:55:23.000 He'll tell you that that shit's whack. 1.00
00:55:25.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:55:25.000 And then he'll whoop your ass. 1.00
00:55:26.000 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:55:27.000 So you got to be on point with this.
00:55:29.000 Because I know when I run into those guys like you, you want to have...
00:55:36.000 That favor.
00:55:37.000 Does that make sense?
00:55:38.000 I know exactly what you're saying.
00:55:39.000 You hold yourself to a very high standard.
00:55:41.000 You got people in your mind right now that when you're doing your thing, that you know if everybody's yelling like, oh, we love you.
00:55:49.000 But if that person say, maybe this or maybe that, you go, okay.
00:55:54.000 Yeah.
00:55:54.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:55:55.000 People are going to be 100% real.
00:55:57.000 Yeah.
00:55:57.000 There you go.
00:55:58.000 You're a bad motherfucker, Jamie Foxx. 1.00
00:56:00.000 Thank you, brother. 1.00
00:56:00.000 And you are too bad. 1.00
00:56:01.000 All right, baby.
00:56:02.000 All right.
00:56:02.000 Thanks, sir.
00:56:03.000 And they told me to say Preve Revo.
00:56:05.000 Check those.
00:56:05.000 How do you get those sunglasses?
00:56:07.000 Amazon.com, Preve Revo.
00:56:09.000 You lose your clothes.
00:56:10.000 You never lose your glasses, man.
00:56:11.000 And it's all of them at $29.95.
00:56:13.000 And there you go.
00:56:14.000 There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:15.000 Peace.
