Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up is way up at Angela. Yee, this is exciting.
London Brown is back again. Yes, yes, yes, and go ahead,
you can eat that because we're used to that on TV.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh no, the pellings have already begin.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Okay, all right, well listen, we're back at it with
Raisin Kanaan. Uncle Marvin is back at it. And you know,
aside from your own comedy career, which we'll talk about
in a minute, which I love, and the White Tea Talk,
which I always love to watch, I want to talk
about what's happening for raising Kanaan and just seeing some
of the things that we are now finding out about
Uncle Marvin, which I it's kind of giving us some
(00:36):
insight into who your character is, little by little, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, you know. As far as the show, well, first
things for having me, I appreciate having me again always,
you know, the show is I think this time. As
far as what makes it different from the other seasons,
we're going to be like we're touching down on the
history of the filming a little bit more like why
or how the Thomas family became be as far as
(01:02):
speaking about our parents. While we have our issues that
we have with each other and with them, and so
it's a little different this season, and as opposed to
I think sometimes people think they know where the story's
going to go. But this season it's gonna be a
lot of emotional plot twists that people were like. I
(01:23):
think I felt like the other seasons people didn't really
understand the dynamic of us being like, of this show
being like a family show. It's really just you know,
a peep into a regular family from south side Jamaica,
queens who got regular issues, who just grew up on
the block, and we survive in the best way we
know how. And I think some money trying to make
(01:46):
some money. So I think this season people understand like, oh,
they really are a family. They just happen to be
in the game.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I feel like. But in particular Uncle Marvin, we learn
a lot about because as Kanaan is trying to figure
out the story of his grandfather, we find out, because
that was your father on the show, that there were
some things about him that kind of made you into
who you are because you were the oldest, right and
so you were affected the most by your father. And
(02:12):
as far as like raising your other younger brother and
sister and things like that. But you remember on that show,
your character remembers the dad the most because you were
the oldest.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Absolutely so. And you know that's the thing is, like
we realized that Marvin, some of Marvin's anger management issues,
some of that, you know, could have stemmed from his
father having the fact that his father had committed suicide.
So now Marvin's left to raise the family, trying to
figure that out, you know, potentially growing up a little
(02:43):
faster than he had wanted to, all the way into
his adulthood to where we see the dichotomy between him
at one point being the leader and now taking orders
from Rock. And that's always kind of been the undertone
underlining disagreement that Marvin or the resentment that Marvin's had
(03:04):
a little bit he knows it was his fault, but
still being the leader and then all of a sudden
taking orders from everybody Marvin has always had that I
think has dealt with that personally.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And two things I want to say to that. Number one, yes,
because I think that Marvin has felt like Rock isn't
giving him the credit and the respect that he feels
like he deserves right and the family, because imagine, now
you're taking orders and somebody younger than you absolutely also
a woman and a woman no matter what, man always
kind of have a bit of an issue with that.
I don't care what anybody says. But then also the
(03:35):
second thing I want to say is seeing how Marvin
has been as a father, or lack of his presence
of being a father in his own daughter's life, you
would think, and sometimes people emulate what their father was like,
or they go the opposite way and they try to
show extra more love because they didn't get it right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you know, that's the thing is, you know, we
see Marvin having a strange relationship with his daughter where
really he like I say, really didn't have one completely.
Then through realizing and reflection, through anger management, we get
to season three where he's trying to be as you mention,
he's now trying to be super dad to the point
where he's overstepping his boundaries with his daughter and her
(04:16):
career and everything like that. So in season four we
get to see this other side of Marvin where I
think Marvin's starting to realize, oh, shoot, this the thing
that I the relationship that he's having with his daughter.
I think he's starting to see more of himself like, oh,
this is I got some responsibility to own in this
(04:37):
while my daughter is kind of the way she is.
But it took him a while to realize. You know,
he's starting to see himself. It's his characteristics within his daughter,
so which at some points good and bad, like Jukebox is.
Really she's strong and she will speak her mind and
she will fight back. But then what happens that she
continues to get older and starts to take more of
(05:00):
her father's example. And I don't even think they even
she realized it, or Martin realized it. It's just it
was like innate because she's around it. And I think
Marvin's feeling the responsibility of that going into season four, like,
oh shoot, so I gotta I got to own up
to some of this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
In a way, I kind of feel like, up until then,
Jukebox has been like the purest character on the show,
the person that's not like the yeah, the one that's
engaging in the family activities and kind of sheltered from
that with the talent to.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Be able to do things absolutely, But.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Then I'm sure she's got her own demons.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right, you know, she kind of been on the outskirts
of it and just kind of hanging out with Kanan.
But this season, you know, she shows up. You know what,
I'll give them too much away. She's showing up for
everybody and we see her. She's as Marvin is trying
to become his own man. Within this season, we see
her becoming her own woman or young lady in this season.
(05:56):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Now I want to see as you're relating to this character.
I'm just curious a couple of things about you. Number one,
what's your anger management? Like in real life? Are you?
Are you hot headed or not? Because for some reason
I can't see it with you. I watch your white
tee talk I tell you that, which I always find
quite entertaining, and it's good because sometimes I agree with you,
sometimes I don't, but that's the point of it. But
(06:17):
when it comes to you personally, you think you're a
hot headed person.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, I'm really easy going because you know, first, the
first thing is I don't like uh. The thing about
it first is I don't like looking out of sorts,
So I don't like, you know, looking like I can't
control my emotions on myself. That's the first thing. The
second thing is one time when there have been times
(06:43):
when people have made me upset. The first of all,
I'm already upset for whatever they did. The second thing
is I have too much pride to give people that
much power.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm you're not gonna see me, you know now when
I get to my car and I to steer at
with whatever that is. But I'm not about to do that.
But then, also as I've gotten older, I just realized
life is too short to be, you know, blowing a
fuse over everything. So sometimes I just I just sit back, man, say,
(07:17):
it's how how serious? Is it really that important? It's
not that important, you know, whatever it is, even if
it's a slight agreement that we can agree to disagree,
we don't have to argue about it. And if I'm
not getting paid to fight, we need to be fighting,
because when you get older, you can't recover from a
fight like you can when you're sixteen. Us as an adult,
(07:41):
you mess around, miss a few days of work, you
don't heal the same way. Getting all of that, I'm good, man,
I'm cool. I mean me best I can, man, I
just try to First of all, I even get to
the point where it got to go there, but it
was so let me just walk away and too much,
too much to lose at this point. So I always
(08:02):
try to just chill out on conflict, to stay away
from it, avoid it if I can.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
How does comedy help you when it comes to dealing
with any type of stress that you have in life? Like,
what does comedy, stand up comedy do for you?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know? Personally? For example, I've been within the month
I've had to go to I'm going to this will
be my fifth funeral, will be this Tuesday, so just
within just within the month, so I'm getting calls. So
as far as to your question, the comedy for me helps,
(08:36):
I know, I get asked to speak at these funerals
sometimes of my friends and so forth, to help brighten
the mood and just bring a little bit of a
little bit of hope or some positivity to these situations.
So for me, if I can always see the brighter
side of whatever it is, it's not it's really not
(08:56):
that bad, you know. And and again it's just I
think it's perspective how we decide to look at whatever
the issue is. So it's like man between what we
consider missed opportunities whatever that sometimes even if it's coming
to things like this, if I were to, let's say,
miss a flight. Sometimes I look at that said, well,
(09:18):
maybe in my mind, this is some of the things
I think I said. Maybe, Okay, maybe I got to
the my uber lake because I was trifling. And the
second thing is, well, maybe you know I was supposed
to leave my keys in the house because I'm avoiding
an accident. Okay, cool. Maybe there's something in that. I
don't know, So I just try to find some sort
of positive note to it, because it's it's way easy
(09:40):
to find. Everything can be can be negative. I can
be mad, well, why didn't they Why didn't Angela have
the the orange slices is peeled already? People wake up
like that, you know, people like, why you mad? It's
seven in the morning, Why you mad already?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And you might be like, why did she peel this?
That's disgusting. I don't know if her hands are cleaned.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
People like that. Yeah, but I don't waste no time
doing that stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Have you seen the Uncle Marvin muck Bang videos that
they've been doing where they have you like eating food.
It's like a whole compilation of you know, you didn't
know what muck bank does sound nasty. It sounds like
something like from Poorn, like muck bang, like yeah that
you never heard of. That's what it is, right, It's
like a food like orgy.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know what with the food stuff because I know
they're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Him like I did that, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But if it's a healthy snack, I ain't mad at that.
But the thing about it is, even with the show,
I explained to the followers that I just come from theater,
so me choosing to eat on the show is just
well what I call or what we call like small business,
And it's just how do I find a way to
(10:50):
keep the artists engaged with the character even though he's
not speaking. What makes him interesting? Because I'm on the
show with a lot of talented people. It's a big show,
a lot of more oven parts as far as you know,
big major scenes, guns, there's families, cars, big names, Tony Danzel,
all the people. I gotta find a way how do
(11:12):
I separate myself without saying, hey, everybody, look at me,
I'm doing something. It just has to be nice and organic.
And you know you came up with that snacking was
just yeah, it was one of those things I'm like, well.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And that's the real thing. We all know somebody that's
like always snacking on something that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, So it's organic for me and it works.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And it's very New York. It's like bodega because a
lot of that is like stuff that's in the bodega
that yeah, and everybody I think about growing up in
New York, how everybody was always like getting a bunch
of stuff from the bodega, Like you want anything from there,
I'm going to the store and then and that's kind
of it does feel like a real New York thing.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and it's you know again, it's just one of
those things where there's just another layer. There are a
lot of different things that Marvin does. That just happens
to be one of the ones. But Marvin's into a
lot of different things. But that's just that's one of
the obvious ones. But there are a lot of emotional
layers that's just as prevalent to to who he is,
(12:11):
like the food is.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And it's interesting because when you were doing the anger
management classes, we finally got to see a little love
you know, yeah type of thing, which I feel like
he's not a womanizer either, necessarily he's.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Not that, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And even with it's like food is the passionate.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Food is one of those things. But you know, even
with the excuse me, even with the interest that the
counselor eventually starts to have with Marvin, Marvin wasn't wasn't
in macmu with her. He was just going, really going,
taking the classes. But there's something charming or endearing about
Marvin that she was taking a liking to. I think
(12:47):
it could have been the vulnerability, like Marvin wasn't in there,
you know, crying on her shoulders, but the fact that
he was pretty just honest and just hey, I'm not
the best father. You know, these are my issues. I
don't feel like being here, and I think that's something
that can be appreciated or the character she could appreciate
(13:09):
about Marmin, just his transparency.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I also, since you brought up Tony Danza, I mean
amazing to be able to I just think about Tony
Danza in our childhood. I'm telling you what that meant.
So how did you feel being able to have those scenes?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
First of all, didn't even know he's joining the show
until we did a zoom table read, and he he
was cooking in the you know, at the top of
the zoom. So it's like, well, Tony Dancer's in the show.
So first thing I go to, as you mentioned, I
go right to Who's the Boss? Come about the eighties?
I loved that show. And so when I finally had
(13:42):
a chance to meet him, it was cool because he
was so nice. And if he had an attitude and said, hey,
if he had it in the paperwork, don't look me
in the eye, and you know when you speak to
him or call him Mster Danzer, I would have respected it.
He's earned that, no doubt. But the fact that he
was cool. I mean, he got stories for days. He
knows everybody and hey, London, I'll tell you the time
(14:05):
I was on the boat it with me, Jesus and
Peter like and we walked through the water. I made him,
made him the lasagna. He's just like stories for everything,
and but they're always great. You always learned a lesson.
And we sat on a couple of times we would
step off to the side and talk to him about
tap dance and we do some We go through some
stuff with tap dancing and just hanging out. And he's
(14:28):
a great I know, not well.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean that, you know, that's just like, tell me
about these tap dancing you.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Know, well, I used to tap dance. So because of that,
Tony and I obviously I know that he tap dancers.
So we would talk and we would every now and
again we go through a couple shuffle steps and we
would just do that in between tapes.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We need to see some video of that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That would be great. You know, he's cool, he's uh.
So we were just talking between the tapes, but he's
so nice, and I'm just like, I'm just I just
want to just listen to whatever he had to say.
So the relationship that people see in the scenes between uh,
Marvin and Stefano is really also London and Tony just
(15:15):
in a scene. The words are, the words are the dialogue,
but it's really London and Tony just sitting there and
chopping it up. So he was cool, man, very He's
just very nice because he could have been. He could
have been. He earned the right to be, you know,
be different. But the fact that he was cool made
me respect me even that much more.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Sometimes you meet people that you grew up on, that
you loved, and you cannot like them after meeting them.
But it's amazing when you can meet somebody that is
nostalgic for you and be like wow, yeah, so dope.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It just it just adds to it just adds to
the whole experience. So we've done a lot of press
together and he's just he's just cool. He shows love.
He respects my work. I was respect his, and so
I'm like, because sometimes too, you get a name like that,
they come on the show and then they feel they
feel they are above the other actors because they're older
(16:09):
than the actors and more experienced. He didn't, he didn't
act like that. He was cool. He was proud to
be a part of the project. He talks about it
and he's even he's gained a whole new audience, a
younger audience to the show from the show. So shout
out to Tony Dancers.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I didn't even realize it was him at first, like
when I when I was first watching it and yeah,
I'm ashamed to say, and then I saw that Tony
dance and I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize
that was Tony.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, yeah, you know, well you don't look like who's
the balls because you know he's but his energy is
still good. Yeah, he's good to sullid man.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know what's interesting too about like you said, Stefano
and Stefano and Marvin, because you're kind of doing things
for him aside from what him and Rock have going on.
You know, you're looking out because he needs help in
other ways. But then sometimes it feels like is that
overstepping boundaries as far as trying to get your own
(17:04):
relationship in a way.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, you know what, that's why Marven is treading on
thin ice when it comes to this. He's Marvin is
acting like he's not He wants to be his own man,
but at the same time he's still watching his back
to see if Rock is aware. But Rock, the way
they wrote the character and the way the Patina's playing it,
she's so smart. She's not saying anything, but she's connecting
all the dots real slowly. She's she's watching and listening
(17:30):
to what Marvin is saying and pentits into his behavior.
And marvinus is willing to take the risk of her
finding out or whatever because he's ready to step out
and be his own person because he's been taking orders
from her for so long, so it causes him to
actually have a respect for Stefano, because Stefano was like
(17:50):
the first person and saying he, yo, you did a
good job with taking out whoever he took out. He
acknowledges the fact that he appreciates his work. So that's
something new for Marvel. Marvel's like, oh, man, finally I'm
getting some respect around here. Somebody appreciate what I do. Now.
He leans in closer to hear what Stephanel has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh, I wonder if you think Marvin's character is smart
enough to go against his sister.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Marviin a think might be smart enough. He's just thinking
about he's just ready to He's ready to go, so
he's not I don't e think he's thought about all
the consequences, right, but you respect them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But that's why sometimes you can't be a leader, right
Like he's he is the hot head, and he is
the one that is going to just go what you
need me to do and handle it. And that's important.
But it's different, it's a different role.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's a different role in life. Sometimes it takes us
getting it takes us maxing out. Are getting fed up
when we get tired of something enough, then we make changes.
And I think that's what Marvin is. He just was
fed up. He's done, and it's like, yo, I'm whatever,
whatever happens happens, let's.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Go as raising Cannon is back. I also want to
say I was kind of disappointed that Rock didn't keep
Unique's baby. Oh you know that I was. I was like,
they have a little gangster baby, you know what I'm saying,
Like her, that would.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Have been a whole other sting. That would have been
a spin off, Wow, the Unique Rock. You know, that
would have been some while right there. See, that's a
whole other.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And I want to say I knew he wasn't when
I was watching the last season. I knew he wasn't dead.
I just knew it because I was like, they didn't
show they'd never found the body, and I know whenever
that happens on the show, that means that person still alive.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You know, this show we just the fans. I mean,
the writers are so good. They never they always need
the fans not knowing quite. They write it in a
way to where, first of all, each after each episode,
you don't really it's almost a cliffhanger. So they set
it up that way, and then just when you think
you understand the story. Somebody get killed off or somebody
(19:58):
gets introduced. So I liked the fact that we think
we have to handle on these characters, but sometimes we
don't because the writers are just they're good for the suspense.
But every now and again we get somebody like a
detective like yourself, and he be.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Like because I didn't want him to be you know how,
they didn't find his body, so I think he's still alive.
And the other thing that's interesting to me is like
with Rock, originally she really did not want Canan to
be involved in that lifestyle. But now he is just
messed up for life. There's just no going back, and
she's responsible for that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
She's responsible for that. I think his uncle plays a
part of that. Oh, we all do. So it's one
of those things where it's like but you know, as
the show continues, we all I think at some point
we say yo, because at first he's like okay. It
was kind of one of those things where we we's like,
all right, you are all right, since you want to
do this. I got a little a little task for you,
(20:54):
but that's it. But then it got to a point
where he started going, he started moving before the horse
were like, yeah, yo, whoa whoa hold on, But by
that time it's already Kine is already spiring out of
control to the point where I think at the end
of last season, Kane says something slick after jukebox performance.
He said something he popped off on his mom's I'm like,
(21:15):
Marm's like, yo, you're gonna let this you want? Can
you want me? If you don't want, I can put
pull out the belt. So but by that point Kane
is becoming his own person, which is kind of that's
really cool to see within this show. Was like, because
I remember season whenever it's like he we're not getting
the Cane advised. We like, we know we telling the story.
We gotta you don't become Canan overnight. You got to
(21:36):
grow and experienced life. But by this by the this season,
man oh man, he's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He is now South central l A growing up there.
But you have this New York. How do you feel
about your New York accent? Are you?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm not in it now, but when I was, when
I was in the middle of this show, I felt
good about it only because the followers told me.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Because you know, Malcolm May's. It's funny that y'all both
are like these New York characters. But it actually it
came off good to me. I didn't know. I never
really thought about it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, well that's the that's the main thing, because nothing
worse than like trying to enjoy a project and you know,
you got somebody supposed to be from Atlanta but they
sound in British. You're like, oh man, I just it
throws it off. So the fact that people would ask
me where I'm from or what part I was like
cool because I don't need you know.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You practice that like or did you you.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Know part of it was? I used to in my set,
I would do this Denzel bit. So Denzel being from
Mount Vernon just well how that came about. I used
to watch films with my boys. Uh, we would as actors,
we would watch different stuff, and as friends, we just watched.
We're fans of Denzel, so just naturally I would go
(22:58):
back through the story. Hey, yo, did you remember that
part when Denzel said you didn't land no blimoit rock,
but Blimomit Rock landed okay on us whatever the line was.
And so I never really worked on the Denzel voice
that was just kind of there, so having a little
bit of that as a foundation of some New York
(23:19):
but also shout out to Doug who was our dialect coach.
Funny thing about Doug is Doug is a like Spielberg
looking white boy, like beard, older guy, glasses and you
know nothing about him. On site would say south Side
Jamaica Queens, but he would drill us man and we
(23:40):
would go through these exercises. And then also I was
always outside too. I was kind of immersed in the
culture because I wanted to figure out just the dialect
and just what was going on. Also listened to a
lot of a lot of Queens rappers listen, you know,
nas was always just the soundtrack for me throughout the project,
(24:01):
but just also just being outside and just seeing how
passionate New Yorkers can be about everything, everything, simple things.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's just interesting to me when other people talk about
how New Yorkers talk, because I just you know, I'm
from here. So sometimes they get it right sometimes, but
it's just funny because we do have certain words that
we say.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Just you know, I just appreciate it. I just appreciate it.
So to stay in that, I just never while I
was shooting the show. I didn't like go back to
my South Central dialect and they come back to Lah.
It's just too much. So I would just kind of
stay in it even off set. That's my one practice
that I would do. Everything else I would leave at work,
(24:43):
but the dialect. I just try to hold on to that,
because you know, that's little things like that can just
It's like, it's like we're in nineteen ninety one and
then the last thing you want to see is a
background actor texting. It's like it just takes.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You out, feel like that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It takes you out of the zone. So I just
wanted to stay in the zone. So shout out to
shout out all to New York, and everybody ran into
who would who had conversations because I was listening and
listening trying to listen.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well, now you also are doing stand up coming, You've
been doing stand up comedy, and I feel like your
White Tea Talks really prepared you for that. I always
feel like if you can sit and talk to a
camera about a topic for no one talking back to
you or doing that, that's a real skill to be
able to have to hold somebody's attention to have these
topics that you could just sit there and discuss and
(25:36):
it'll be like something random like church being commercialized. Now
you have one where you talk about that they got
the VIP line and.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, you know, well, and I agree. I'm glad you
acknowledged that because I think people think that's what's so
annoying about respectfully, that's what so annoying about the podcasts world.
I think there's so many people doing it, but they
don't understand it's a real skill to do. What it
is you do is not everybody. Don't have can't hold
(26:05):
a conversation, don't have things to talk about, don't have
an angle. So for those of you who do it, well,
shout out to y'all and the other ones who are
trying to figure it out. You know, do what you do,
but you know, it's a real skill. You know, it's
a real skill. I want to just I know, people, now,
how you gonna come up here and talk about me?
I just get my podcasts? He talking about me. I'm
not talking about anybody. I'm just saying in general, it's
(26:27):
a skill to know how to have some sort of
conversation or an angle. So with the white tea talks.
That's just me in my perspective on these different topics
in church being one of those things where I grew
up in church, I played in church, and so forth.
But I feel like today we're just at a time
where I'm a little old school in the sense of
(26:50):
sometimes I don't I'm not necessarily trying to hear a
bunch of opinions about stuff when it comes to spiritual guidance,
Just like, what's just give me the truth and let
me figure it out from there, as opposed to you
trying to dazzle it or communicate with me. So, for example,
let's say I go to a church and the pastor
to see me in the church, you know, and God
(27:12):
is doing something special, He's raising everybody, even Cainan don't
do that. Just let just give me the word. I'm
good with just whatever the bodyble says, whatever whatever special
guidance is. But you know, so the white tea talks
are just me just simply, you know, based in truth,
(27:32):
though I don't want it's not even not necessarily opinion,
especially with the relationship. I'm just like, yo, here's just
another angle. I'm not saying it's the only way, it's
the right way or the wrong just consider another angle
to what you may already believe. That's all all.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Right, but let me ask your opinion on a couple
of things that have been happening in television and you know, rumors,
all right, this was a topic we talked about up here.
Married to medicine quad and her boy friend, they've been dating.
You don't have to worry about it if you've never
seen it. But anyway, she wants them to live together.
But she wants him to move into her house, and
he felt like traditionally, as a man, he didn't feel
(28:11):
like he should be moving into a woman's home. You know,
He's like, why don't we get a place together and
you rent your place out? But she loves her house.
She's like, look, I you know I did this. This is
the first house I bought in my almost a beautiful home.
Now could you see moving into a woman's house or
would you feel like now we got to get something
on our own? Or does that feel you feel like
(28:32):
she got a nice house, I'll move in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Absolutely not not happening. You know. The thing about it
is this though, there's a different it's a thing. It's
sometimes I said this way, in general, we can we
can do things emotionally that may cause us to feel
differently from when we first thought to approach whatever that is.
(28:58):
So it's the same way. It's the same thing. Sometimes
when I was when I was teaching, I was working
to have school programs and so forth, and I used
to tell the parents, try not to give out a
reward when you're super excited, or discipline when you're very upset,
because emotionally we can make promises in ideas that we
(29:18):
can't keep. So I'm saying is to say that as
a guy, I would not move into like now. I've
don't get me wrong, I've stayed in there a couple
of times. I spend but full on. You know, I
don't even play games. But here's my xbox and hear
my hats and put them up. No, because at any point,
(29:40):
if you know you don't come in early enough for
you know you don't, you don't put the seat back down,
You're going to get a notice. And you know it's
also a thing. It's a thing for that kind of
power is a different thing man, and in the hands
(30:00):
of a of a woman. So I say, hey, keep
it safe and find something mutual, or if she don't
want to get rid of the home, cool, keep your
home and maybe if you want to rent it out
or still do something. And then hey, baby, let's let's
go get this studio apartment together. At least it's ours.
And it's because that way we on equal footing. But
(30:23):
him going on the lease, oh man, him going over there.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Her house is beautiful though she got a nice pool,
hot tub. I mean, what afall she.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Gonna And she's gonna remind him of it every time
he acts up. You're in my nice pool. You don't
like how my roote's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now. Another thing that you talked about on your White
Tea talk. You talked about people who all of a
sudden become like these financial gurus after taking a course.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know, not to cut you off, but the knowing.
This is the thing about it. And I'm speaking on
behalvy and I'm not even coming from someplace broke. I'm
just on behalf of people who are trying to become
financially literate and trying to understand what to do with
their finances. First off, those of you who understand money,
(31:14):
this is what I want. I would like for you
just to consider. Here's another angle. Everybody don't have five
thousand dollars ten thousand dollars to just invest. If they
do got that kind of money, they don't have that
kind of money to risk. As far as like this,
(31:35):
I member in my house, we grew up and we
had like one family man, and I remember I used
to try to drive when I got my license, and
my mom was like, listen, we don't have another if
you wreck the car. This is it like in my house.
Maybe because I'm coming from a different place, but my
angle is this, I didn't grow up in a family
(31:56):
where I had people I could borrow from, Like that's
not my reality of just saying, or even for myself.
It wasn't like I could go on go away to
school or somewhere and be and my mom drove up
with the with the U haul and had new bed
sheets and all my supplies. I couldn't borrow. From my mind,
(32:18):
that wasn't the household that grew up. And so coming
from that angle, I wish that those who are financially
stable remember you're also My question is do you want
to help people get financially stable or do you just
want to let us know how much you know about finances,
(32:38):
because if you care, talk to us in a way
that we understand. People get on there and say, hey, listen, man.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
All you gotta do you get a CPA, You get
a CPA, you get a TTL. Once you get TTL,
you put three thousand dollars into the IRA eight and ora.
And for listen, bro, we don't know all the letters
and all of that. Talk to us in a way.
Let's if you how much you gotta and go talk
low numbers. If you already got more making more than that,
(33:06):
they probably already get it. Hey, listen, you gotta Let's
take me, for example, I'm thinking that abstual program job,
maybe fifteen bucks, and now it's kind of a raise.
But let's just say, yo, if you're making about three
hundred dollars, three to four hundred dollars every other week, Okay,
this is what you gotta do. Just take fifty dollars
(33:27):
of that, put that away here, and after you get that,
talk to us and like you want us to grow
with you.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Otherwise it's just annoying. It's you know, and I think people,
I think sometimes people they get they get a kick
off of being able to talk, uh, talk at you
and not like like talk to me, talk with me
if you want me to. If you that's if you care.
Now if you don't care, and you want to continue
to talk about your financial gain, and that's cool. It's
(33:55):
just like sometimes you know, I hear about the people
that be bragging about the house they live in and
but they live in two below Mississippi. The houses were
two hundred bucks. I'm like, yeah, I know, you got
a four bedroom with a pool in the yard and
in a you know, in a farm, but la in
Los Angeles, you gotta be doing well. You know, let's
(34:18):
start there. If you care now, if you don't care,
then they do what you do for your ego or
whatever whoever it is you're servicing. But I'm just talking
on behalf of somebody that comes from you know, twenty
eight dollars in his bank account, so you know, I
just speak for those people.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
What was that time like for you, like you said,
when you were working and you know, twenty eight dollars
in the bank account, what was your mindset like that?
And did you feel like I'm just waiting for my
big break? Like how did how did you feel at
that time, because you also have ups and downs when
it comes to acting right.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, you know with all I knew is that something's
got to happen. So I was still taking some free
classes whatnot. And I just remember one day and after
school program, I just looked at my account as like
twenty eight dollars. This look, this is what I knew.
I was booking. You've ever been so broke you start
thinking of creative ways to dods to get paid. This
(35:14):
is where I was at. I said, you know what,
I looked at my bank account at twenty eight dollars.
I said, Man, if if I leave here and I go,
you know, I said, if I start the next morning,
I'm going to go get a suit, I'm going to
fill out my resumes. I'm going to hand them out,
and before I get back home, I'm gonna jump right
in front of a bus. I said, Man, if I
get paid.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You did not think that me and.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Lots of people think like this. He said, Well, if
I get if I just pulled in front of a bus,
I might get some sure, so it's a city government bus,
it's some money.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I just settle.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
I'm thinking stuff like that because I'm so problem like
I got to figure out a way to pull a
quicker down, you know, a quick joke. So that's where
I was. But I just knew I worked at the
school because I love working kids. And I still do
shout out to n CRIF National College Resources Foundation organization
where we helped students get into the HBCUs. So I
(36:11):
still shout out to Yoyo, me and yo Yo. We're
part of that. Ambassadors kel Mitchell DaVinci from being Math,
we're all a part of this as ambassadors. But again,
I love working with kids, so I knew. I knew
that that was where I needed to be at the time.
So fortunately I didn't have you know, I don't have kids.
I didn't have a lot of responsibilities. Just had a car, note,
(36:33):
cell phone. That was about it. So if I could
keep my my maintenance stuff down, I didn't really need
a high pand job at the time. So but I
just was like, yea, I gotta stay focused and that
was all I was on and let me work these
open mics comedy clubs until something happened. I didn't know.
I just knew I was enjoying what I was doing.
(36:54):
But that's why it's important to do what it is
you love to do, because you can do it for free,
or it'll help you sustain doing it for free if
you actually like what it is you're doing. So I
just knew I had to stay very focused, and I
knew one thing. I knew I wasn't gonna have no
kids because I don't know nothing else. I know kids
are expensive.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, so that's a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
It's a whole other level. I wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So I just quite responsible.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I tried to be. I tried to be.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Every guy that has kids young was saying they wasn't
gonna have no kids, but somehow it happened.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I just knew I can afford it. I mean, if
nothing else, but there's no way you have a kid.
You got to think about food, You got me formally,
got to think about babysitters.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You gotta think about the mom, and you gotta make
sure she's taking.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Care of her too. I forgot about that. But see,
I'm thinking about just a kid. I got us too much.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Because if she's not good, the kids not good at
the kids living with her, you gotta you know.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
So I just wasn't. I just didn't want no parts
of that because I just saw I saw a lot
of my friends have a hard time with that, and
I love children. I just it just was gonna be
distracting from what I was trying to do.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, we've seen that with Jukebox, you know, right right, Well, listen,
I appreciate you for stopping through, Like honestly, I think
you are hilarious, just from everything, like are you gonna
do an hour special? Half hour special? Like what's the
plan when.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
It so right now? It's just been so well now
that we you know, for this particular season, we're done shooting.
So that's why I'm in the clubs heavy. I just
want I'm just working out and flushing out material right
now because yes, ultimately that's the goal. Because people don't know,
sit don't know I do stand up. So I'm still
working to get you know, to get that out. You
know people, the people who know know and our tour
(38:37):
and different things like that, but still a lot of
people just don't know I come from stand up.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
So what's people's reaction when they see you and they
didn't know that?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
And they're like, yeah, it is when you know, when
I first step out, they're excited to see me from
the show. Fortunately, they think after coming off these last
few seasons, they think Marvin is funny. So that helps
because initially Marvin this this show is a drama, so
you know, I'm coming into the show on the drama
(39:07):
side on the season one, so they were still trying
to figure it out. But for whatever they found humorous
about Marvin, it's been helping. So initially they come on
the like, well what is he? Okay? That's here? They
clap and then they're like, what do you what are
you doing? And then eventually as we start to talk,
I'm more candid with my style, which is just fun conversations.
(39:30):
So listen, this is it's like when I go live.
It's kind of the vibe of my stand up, which is,
let me just tell you what's going on and trip on.
This ain't thank great. So hopefully I can continue to
do that and build with the audience and they continue
to rock with me.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
How do other comedians receive you when it comes to
getting on so you feel like it's helpful because it's
such a competitive place to be.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
You know, it depends Like when I was working clubs here,
the comedians respect me from the show, but they still
don't know, Oh, I do stand ups, so they kind
of it's an interesting kind of sit back and there's
this air in the air. You know. Also just a
New York day. This is a whole other temperament here.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, because people want to not laugh and.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
The audience. The audience is cool. But the comedians, I
can tell they just don't know what's going on with me.
If I'm back West, then the funny thing is a
lot of people that started out in my class, they're
all out, uh dc ervin out with Marlon Wayne's and
people touring and different things like that. Shout out to
Tony Baker and Brandon Lewis and a lot of my friends.
They're out. So I went to the I'm working clubs
(40:39):
in LA and the other week and so it's just
a whole new class. So I can tell this new
class comedians, they're looking at me the way I looked
at you know, Tony Rock when I came into the
game or something, the comedian that was above me. I
was like, yo, that's I remember him from this show
and death Jam, And I could tell they kind of
look at me like, oh, that's the garden raiser. Canan
(41:01):
there's a there's a respectful thing there. I was like, oh, listen, man,
take that out of your eyes. This's is some one
of you guys. I'm one of the brothers. So it's
it's a process, but I enjoy that, so I don't
get tired of the clubs. The clubs?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Is it all right? Well, we'd love to see it.
So everybody make sure you check them out and people
can find out where your shows are if they go
to your page.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
You're just following you on Instagram, always talking and.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Sharing, following him anyway on Instagram. He'll respond to you
too if he yeah, I will I do, Yes, you do,
you definitely do? All right, well, London Brown, thank you
so much. Always a pleasure and every single time you
know you got to pass through. Do we know if
it's been renewed for another season yet? Are we waiting
to find out?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Or if we I mean, uh yeah, I think so,
I think I could. I could share that we've got
another season, okay, so yeah, yeah, awesome.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
All right, feels good. If that's a spoiler, fifty, we'll
just come for you. No.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Thank you for watching the show and keeping us, keeping
us at the top of the list.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Man, Thank you all right, appreciate you, thank you well.
What's up is way up at Angela. Yee, this is exciting.
London Brown is back again. Yes, yes, yes, and go ahead,
you can eat that because we're used to that on TV.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh no, the pellings have already begin.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Okay, all right, well listen, we're back at it with
Raisin Kanaan. Uncle Marvin is back at it. And you know,
aside from your own comedy career, which we'll talk about
in a minute, which I love, and the White Tea Talk,
which I always love to watch, I want to talk
about what's happening for raising Kanaan and just seeing some
of the things that we are now finding out about
Uncle Marvin, which I it's kind of giving us some
(00:36):
insight into who your character is, little by little, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, you know. As far as the show, well, first
things for having me, I appreciate having me again always,
you know, the show is I think this time. As
far as what makes it different from the other seasons,
we're going to be like we're touching down on the
history of the filming a little bit more like why
or how the Thomas family became be as far as
(01:02):
speaking about our parents. While we have our issues that
we have with each other and with them, and so
it's a little different this season, and as opposed to
I think sometimes people think they know where the story's
going to go. But this season it's gonna be a
lot of emotional plot twists that people were like. I
(01:23):
think I felt like the other seasons people didn't really
understand the dynamic of us being like, of this show
being like a family show. It's really just you know,
a peep into a regular family from south side Jamaica,
queens who got regular issues, who just grew up on
the block, and we survive in the best way we
know how. And I think some money trying to make
(01:46):
some money. So I think this season people understand like, oh,
they really are a family. They just happen to be
in the game.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I feel like. But in particular Uncle Marvin, we learn
a lot about because as Kanaan is trying to figure
out the story of his grandfather, we find out, because
that was your father on the show, that there were
some things about him that kind of made you into
who you are because you were the oldest, right and
so you were affected the most by your father. And
(02:12):
as far as like raising your other younger brother and
sister and things like that. But you remember on that show,
your character remembers the dad the most because you were
the oldest.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Absolutely so. And you know that's the thing is, like
we realized that Marvin, some of Marvin's anger management issues,
some of that, you know, could have stemmed from his
father having the fact that his father had committed suicide.
So now Marvin's left to raise the family, trying to
figure that out, you know, potentially growing up a little
(02:43):
faster than he had wanted to, all the way into
his adulthood to where we see the dichotomy between him
at one point being the leader and now taking orders
from Rock. And that's always kind of been the undertone
underlining disagreement that Marvin or the resentment that Marvin's had
(03:04):
a little bit he knows it was his fault, but
still being the leader and then all of a sudden
taking orders from everybody Marvin has always had that I
think has dealt with that personally.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And two things I want to say to that. Number one, yes,
because I think that Marvin has felt like Rock isn't
giving him the credit and the respect that he feels
like he deserves right and the family, because imagine, now
you're taking orders and somebody younger than you absolutely also
a woman and a woman no matter what, man always
kind of have a bit of an issue with that.
I don't care what anybody says. But then also the
(03:35):
second thing I want to say is seeing how Marvin
has been as a father, or lack of his presence
of being a father in his own daughter's life, you
would think, and sometimes people emulate what their father was like,
or they go the opposite way and they try to
show extra more love because they didn't get it right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So you know, that's the thing is, you know, we
see Marvin having a strange relationship with his daughter where
really he like I say, really didn't have one completely.
Then through realizing and reflection, through anger management, we get
to season three where he's trying to be as you mention,
he's now trying to be super dad to the point
where he's overstepping his boundaries with his daughter and her
(04:16):
career and everything like that. So in season four we
get to see this other side of Marvin where I
think Marvin's starting to realize, oh, shoot, this the thing
that I the relationship that he's having with his daughter.
I think he's starting to see more of himself like, oh,
this is I got some responsibility to own in this
(04:37):
while my daughter is kind of the way she is.
But it took him a while to realize. You know,
he's starting to see himself. It's his characteristics within his daughter,
so which at some points good and bad, like Jukebox is.
Really she's strong and she will speak her mind and
she will fight back. But then what happens that she
continues to get older and starts to take more of
(05:00):
her father's example. And I don't even think they even
she realized it, or Martin realized it. It's just it
was like innate because she's around it. And I think
Marvin's feeling the responsibility of that going into season four, like,
oh shoot, so I gotta I got to own up
to some of this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
In a way, I kind of feel like, up until then,
Jukebox has been like the purest character on the show,
the person that's not like the yeah, the one that's
engaging in the family activities and kind of sheltered from
that with the talent to.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Be able to do things absolutely, But.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Then I'm sure she's got her own demons.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right, you know, she kind of been on the outskirts
of it and just kind of hanging out with Kanan.
But this season, you know, she shows up. You know what,
I'll give them too much away. She's showing up for
everybody and we see her. She's as Marvin is trying
to become his own man. Within this season, we see
her becoming her own woman or young lady in this season.
(05:56):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Now I want to see as you're relating to this character.
I'm just curious a couple of things about you. Number one,
what's your anger management? Like in real life? Are you?
Are you hot headed or not? Because for some reason
I can't see it with you. I watch your white
tee talk I tell you that, which I always find
quite entertaining, and it's good because sometimes I agree with you,
sometimes I don't, but that's the point of it. But
(06:17):
when it comes to you personally, you think you're a
hot headed person.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
No, I'm really easy going because you know, first, the
first thing is I don't like uh. The thing about
it first is I don't like looking out of sorts,
So I don't like, you know, looking like I can't
control my emotions on myself. That's the first thing. The
second thing is one time when there have been times
(06:43):
when people have made me upset. The first of all,
I'm already upset for whatever they did. The second thing
is I have too much pride to give people that
much power.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm you're not gonna see me, you know now when
I get to my car and I to steer at
with whatever that is. But I'm not about to do that.
But then, also as I've gotten older, I just realized
life is too short to be, you know, blowing a
fuse over everything. So sometimes I just I just sit back, man, say,
(07:17):
it's how how serious? Is it really that important? It's
not that important, you know, whatever it is, even if
it's a slight agreement that we can agree to disagree,
we don't have to argue about it. And if I'm
not getting paid to fight, we need to be fighting,
because when you get older, you can't recover from a
fight like you can when you're sixteen. Us as an adult,
(07:41):
you mess around, miss a few days of work, you
don't heal the same way. Getting all of that, I'm good, man,
I'm cool. I mean me best I can, man, I
just try to First of all, I even get to
the point where it got to go there, but it
was so let me just walk away and too much,
too much to lose at this point. So I always
(08:02):
try to just chill out on conflict, to stay away
from it, avoid it if I can.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
How does comedy help you when it comes to dealing
with any type of stress that you have in life? Like,
what does comedy, stand up comedy do for you?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know? Personally? For example, I've been within the month
I've had to go to I'm going to this will
be my fifth funeral, will be this Tuesday, so just
within just within the month, so I'm getting calls. So
as far as to your question, the comedy for me helps,
(08:36):
I know, I get asked to speak at these funerals
sometimes of my friends and so forth, to help brighten
the mood and just bring a little bit of a
little bit of hope or some positivity to these situations.
So for me, if I can always see the brighter
side of whatever it is, it's not it's really not
(08:56):
that bad, you know. And and again it's just I
think it's perspective how we decide to look at whatever
the issue is. So it's like man between what we
consider missed opportunities whatever that sometimes even if it's coming
to things like this, if I were to, let's say,
miss a flight. Sometimes I look at that said, well,
(09:18):
maybe in my mind, this is some of the things
I think I said. Maybe, Okay, maybe I got to
the my uber lake because I was trifling. And the
second thing is, well, maybe you know I was supposed
to leave my keys in the house because I'm avoiding
an accident. Okay, cool. Maybe there's something in that. I
don't know, So I just try to find some sort
of positive note to it, because it's it's way easy
(09:40):
to find. Everything can be can be negative. I can
be mad, well, why didn't they Why didn't Angela have
the the orange slices is peeled already? People wake up
like that, you know, people like, why you mad? It's
seven in the morning, Why you mad already?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And you might be like, why did she peel this?
That's disgusting. I don't know if her hands are cleaned.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
People like that. Yeah, but I don't waste no time
doing that stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Have you seen the Uncle Marvin muck Bang videos that
they've been doing where they have you like eating food.
It's like a whole compilation of you know, you didn't
know what muck bank does sound nasty. It sounds like
something like from Poorn, like muck bang, like yeah that
you never heard of. That's what it is, right, It's
like a food like orgy.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know what with the food stuff because I know
they're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Him like I did that, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But if it's a healthy snack, I ain't mad at that.
But the thing about it is, even with the show,
I explained to the followers that I just come from theater,
so me choosing to eat on the show is just
well what I call or what we call like small business,
And it's just how do I find a way to
(10:50):
keep the artists engaged with the character even though he's
not speaking. What makes him interesting? Because I'm on the
show with a lot of talented people. It's a big show,
a lot of more oven parts as far as you know,
big major scenes, guns, there's families, cars, big names, Tony Danzel,
all the people. I gotta find a way how do
(11:12):
I separate myself without saying, hey, everybody, look at me,
I'm doing something. It just has to be nice and organic.
And you know you came up with that snacking was
just yeah, it was one of those things I'm like, well.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And that's the real thing. We all know somebody that's
like always snacking on something that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, So it's organic for me and it works.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And it's very New York. It's like bodega because a
lot of that is like stuff that's in the bodega
that yeah, and everybody I think about growing up in
New York, how everybody was always like getting a bunch
of stuff from the bodega, Like you want anything from there,
I'm going to the store and then and that's kind
of it does feel like a real New York thing.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and it's you know again, it's just one of
those things where there's just another layer. There are a
lot of different things that Marvin does. That just happens
to be one of the ones. But Marvin's into a
lot of different things. But that's just that's one of
the obvious ones. But there are a lot of emotional
layers that's just as prevalent to to who he is,
(12:11):
like the food is.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And it's interesting because when you were doing the anger
management classes, we finally got to see a little love
you know, yeah type of thing, which I feel like
he's not a womanizer either, necessarily he's.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Not that, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And even with it's like food is the passionate.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Food is one of those things. But you know, even
with the excuse me, even with the interest that the
counselor eventually starts to have with Marvin, Marvin wasn't wasn't
in macmu with her. He was just going, really going,
taking the classes. But there's something charming or endearing about
Marvin that she was taking a liking to. I think
(12:47):
it could have been the vulnerability, like Marvin wasn't in there,
you know, crying on her shoulders, but the fact that
he was pretty just honest and just hey, I'm not
the best father. You know, these are my issues. I
don't feel like being here, and I think that's something
that can be appreciated or the character she could appreciate
(13:09):
about Marmin, just his transparency.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I also, since you brought up Tony Danza, I mean
amazing to be able to I just think about Tony
Danza in our childhood. I'm telling you what that meant.
So how did you feel being able to have those scenes?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
First of all, didn't even know he's joining the show
until we did a zoom table read, and he he
was cooking in the you know, at the top of
the zoom. So it's like, well, Tony Dancer's in the show.
So first thing I go to, as you mentioned, I
go right to Who's the Boss? Come about the eighties?
I loved that show. And so when I finally had
(13:42):
a chance to meet him, it was cool because he
was so nice. And if he had an attitude and said, hey,
if he had it in the paperwork, don't look me
in the eye, and you know when you speak to
him or call him Mster Danzer, I would have respected it.
He's earned that, no doubt. But the fact that he
was cool. I mean, he got stories for days. He
knows everybody and hey, London, I'll tell you the time
(14:05):
I was on the boat it with me, Jesus and
Peter like and we walked through the water. I made him,
made him the lasagna. He's just like stories for everything,
and but they're always great. You always learned a lesson.
And we sat on a couple of times we would
step off to the side and talk to him about
tap dance and we do some We go through some
stuff with tap dancing and just hanging out. And he's
(14:28):
a great I know, not well.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I mean that, you know, that's just like, tell me
about these tap dancing you.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Know, well, I used to tap dance. So because of that,
Tony and I obviously I know that he tap dancers.
So we would talk and we would every now and
again we go through a couple shuffle steps and we
would just do that in between tapes.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We need to see some video of that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That would be great. You know, he's cool, he's uh.
So we were just talking between the tapes, but he's
so nice, and I'm just like, I'm just I just
want to just listen to whatever he had to say.
So the relationship that people see in the scenes between uh,
Marvin and Stefano is really also London and Tony just
(15:15):
in a scene. The words are, the words are the dialogue,
but it's really London and Tony just sitting there and
chopping it up. So he was cool, man, very He's
just very nice because he could have been. He could
have been. He earned the right to be, you know,
be different. But the fact that he was cool made
me respect me even that much more.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Sometimes you meet people that you grew up on, that
you loved, and you cannot like them after meeting them.
But it's amazing when you can meet somebody that is
nostalgic for you and be like wow, yeah, so dope.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It just it just adds to it just adds to
the whole experience. So we've done a lot of press
together and he's just he's just cool. He shows love.
He respects my work. I was respect his, and so
I'm like, because sometimes too, you get a name like that,
they come on the show and then they feel they
feel they are above the other actors because they're older
(16:09):
than the actors and more experienced. He didn't, he didn't
act like that. He was cool. He was proud to
be a part of the project. He talks about it
and he's even he's gained a whole new audience, a
younger audience to the show from the show. So shout
out to Tony Dancers.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I didn't even realize it was him at first, like
when I when I was first watching it and yeah,
I'm ashamed to say, and then I saw that Tony
dance and I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize
that was Tony.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, yeah, you know, well you don't look like who's
the balls because you know he's but his energy is
still good. Yeah, he's good to sullid man.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know what's interesting too about like you said, Stefano
and Stefano and Marvin, because you're kind of doing things
for him aside from what him and Rock have going on.
You know, you're looking out because he needs help in
other ways. But then sometimes it feels like is that
overstepping boundaries as far as trying to get your own
(17:04):
relationship in a way.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, you know what, that's why Marven is treading on
thin ice when it comes to this. He's Marvin is
acting like he's not He wants to be his own man,
but at the same time he's still watching his back
to see if Rock is aware. But Rock, the way
they wrote the character and the way the Patina's playing it,
she's so smart. She's not saying anything, but she's connecting
all the dots real slowly. She's she's watching and listening
(17:30):
to what Marvin is saying and pentits into his behavior.
And marvinus is willing to take the risk of her
finding out or whatever because he's ready to step out
and be his own person because he's been taking orders
from her for so long, so it causes him to
actually have a respect for Stefano, because Stefano was like
(17:50):
the first person and saying he, yo, you did a
good job with taking out whoever he took out. He
acknowledges the fact that he appreciates his work. So that's
something new for Marvel. Marvel's like, oh, man, finally I'm
getting some respect around here. Somebody appreciate what I do. Now.
He leans in closer to hear what Stephanel has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh, I wonder if you think Marvin's character is smart
enough to go against his sister.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Marviin a think might be smart enough. He's just thinking
about he's just ready to He's ready to go, so
he's not I don't e think he's thought about all
the consequences, right, but you respect them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But that's why sometimes you can't be a leader, right
Like he's he is the hot head, and he is
the one that is going to just go what you
need me to do and handle it. And that's important.
But it's different, it's a different role.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's a different role in life. Sometimes it takes us
getting it takes us maxing out. Are getting fed up
when we get tired of something enough, then we make changes.
And I think that's what Marvin is. He just was
fed up. He's done, and it's like, yo, I'm whatever,
whatever happens happens, let's.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Go as raising Cannon is back. I also want to
say I was kind of disappointed that Rock didn't keep
Unique's baby. Oh you know that I was. I was like,
they have a little gangster baby, you know what I'm saying,
Like her, that would.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Have been a whole other sting. That would have been
a spin off, Wow, the Unique Rock. You know, that
would have been some while right there. See, that's a
whole other.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And I want to say I knew he wasn't when
I was watching the last season. I knew he wasn't dead.
I just knew it because I was like, they didn't
show they'd never found the body, and I know whenever
that happens on the show, that means that person still alive.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You know, this show we just the fans. I mean,
the writers are so good. They never they always need
the fans not knowing quite. They write it in a
way to where, first of all, each after each episode,
you don't really it's almost a cliffhanger. So they set
it up that way, and then just when you think
you understand the story. Somebody get killed off or somebody
(19:58):
gets introduced. So I liked the fact that we think
we have to handle on these characters, but sometimes we
don't because the writers are just they're good for the suspense.
But every now and again we get somebody like a
detective like yourself, and he be.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Like because I didn't want him to be you know how,
they didn't find his body, so I think he's still alive.
And the other thing that's interesting to me is like
with Rock, originally she really did not want Canan to
be involved in that lifestyle. But now he is just
messed up for life. There's just no going back, and
she's responsible for that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
She's responsible for that. I think his uncle plays a
part of that. Oh, we all do. So it's one
of those things where it's like but you know, as
the show continues, we all I think at some point
we say yo, because at first he's like okay. It
was kind of one of those things where we we's like,
all right, you are all right, since you want to
do this. I got a little a little task for you,
(20:54):
but that's it. But then it got to a point
where he started going, he started moving before the horse
were like, yeah, yo, whoa whoa hold on, But by
that time it's already Kine is already spiring out of
control to the point where I think at the end
of last season, Kane says something slick after jukebox performance.
He said something he popped off on his mom's I'm like,
(21:15):
Marm's like, yo, you're gonna let this you want? Can
you want me? If you don't want, I can put
pull out the belt. So but by that point Kane
is becoming his own person, which is kind of that's
really cool to see within this show. Was like, because
I remember season whenever it's like he we're not getting
the Cane advised. We like, we know we telling the story.
We gotta you don't become Canan overnight. You got to
(21:36):
grow and experienced life. But by this by the this season,
man oh man, he's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He is now South central l A growing up there.
But you have this New York. How do you feel
about your New York accent? Are you?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm not in it now, but when I was, when
I was in the middle of this show, I felt
good about it only because the followers told me.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Because you know, Malcolm May's. It's funny that y'all both
are like these New York characters. But it actually it
came off good to me. I didn't know. I never
really thought about it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, well that's the that's the main thing, because nothing
worse than like trying to enjoy a project and you know,
you got somebody supposed to be from Atlanta but they
sound in British. You're like, oh man, I just it
throws it off. So the fact that people would ask
me where I'm from or what part I was like
cool because I don't need you know.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You practice that like or did you you.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Know part of it was? I used to in my set,
I would do this Denzel bit. So Denzel being from
Mount Vernon just well how that came about. I used
to watch films with my boys. Uh, we would as actors,
we would watch different stuff, and as friends, we just watched.
We're fans of Denzel, so just naturally I would go
(22:58):
back through the story. Hey, yo, did you remember that
part when Denzel said you didn't land no blimoit rock,
but Blimomit Rock landed okay on us whatever the line was.
And so I never really worked on the Denzel voice
that was just kind of there, so having a little
bit of that as a foundation of some New York
(23:19):
but also shout out to Doug who was our dialect coach.
Funny thing about Doug is Doug is a like Spielberg
looking white boy, like beard, older guy, glasses and you
know nothing about him. On site would say south Side
Jamaica Queens, but he would drill us man and we
(23:40):
would go through these exercises. And then also I was
always outside too. I was kind of immersed in the
culture because I wanted to figure out just the dialect
and just what was going on. Also listened to a
lot of a lot of Queens rappers listen, you know,
nas was always just the soundtrack for me throughout the project,
(24:01):
but just also just being outside and just seeing how
passionate New Yorkers can be about everything, everything, simple things.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's just interesting to me when other people talk about
how New Yorkers talk, because I just you know, I'm
from here. So sometimes they get it right sometimes, but
it's just funny because we do have certain words that
we say.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Just you know, I just appreciate it. I just appreciate it.
So to stay in that, I just never while I
was shooting the show. I didn't like go back to
my South Central dialect and they come back to Lah.
It's just too much. So I would just kind of
stay in it even off set. That's my one practice
that I would do. Everything else I would leave at work,
(24:43):
but the dialect. I just try to hold on to that,
because you know, that's little things like that can just
It's like, it's like we're in nineteen ninety one and
then the last thing you want to see is a
background actor texting. It's like it just takes.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You out, feel like that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It takes you out of the zone. So I just
wanted to stay in the zone. So shout out to
shout out all to New York, and everybody ran into
who would who had conversations because I was listening and
listening trying to listen.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well, now you also are doing stand up coming, You've
been doing stand up comedy, and I feel like your
White Tea Talks really prepared you for that. I always
feel like if you can sit and talk to a
camera about a topic for no one talking back to
you or doing that, that's a real skill to be
able to have to hold somebody's attention to have these
topics that you could just sit there and discuss and
(25:36):
it'll be like something random like church being commercialized. Now
you have one where you talk about that they got
the VIP line and.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, you know, well, and I agree. I'm glad you
acknowledged that because I think people think that's what's so
annoying about respectfully, that's what so annoying about the podcasts world.
I think there's so many people doing it, but they
don't understand it's a real skill to do. What it
is you do is not everybody. Don't have can't hold
(26:05):
a conversation, don't have things to talk about, don't have
an angle. So for those of you who do it, well,
shout out to y'all and the other ones who are
trying to figure it out. You know, do what you do,
but you know, it's a real skill. You know, it's
a real skill. I want to just I know, people, now,
how you gonna come up here and talk about me?
I just get my podcasts? He talking about me. I'm
not talking about anybody. I'm just saying in general, it's
(26:27):
a skill to know how to have some sort of
conversation or an angle. So with the white tea talks.
That's just me in my perspective on these different topics
in church being one of those things where I grew
up in church, I played in church, and so forth.
But I feel like today we're just at a time
where I'm a little old school in the sense of
(26:50):
sometimes I don't I'm not necessarily trying to hear a
bunch of opinions about stuff when it comes to spiritual guidance,
Just like, what's just give me the truth and let
me figure it out from there, as opposed to you
trying to dazzle it or communicate with me. So, for example,
let's say I go to a church and the pastor
to see me in the church, you know, and God
(27:12):
is doing something special, He's raising everybody, even Cainan don't
do that. Just let just give me the word. I'm
good with just whatever the bodyble says, whatever whatever special
guidance is. But you know, so the white tea talks
are just me just simply, you know, based in truth,
(27:32):
though I don't want it's not even not necessarily opinion,
especially with the relationship. I'm just like, yo, here's just
another angle. I'm not saying it's the only way, it's
the right way or the wrong just consider another angle
to what you may already believe. That's all all.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Right, but let me ask your opinion on a couple
of things that have been happening in television and you know, rumors,
all right, this was a topic we talked about up here.
Married to medicine quad and her boy friend, they've been dating.
You don't have to worry about it if you've never
seen it. But anyway, she wants them to live together.
But she wants him to move into her house, and
he felt like traditionally, as a man, he didn't feel
(28:11):
like he should be moving into a woman's home. You know,
He's like, why don't we get a place together and
you rent your place out? But she loves her house.
She's like, look, I you know I did this. This is
the first house I bought in my almost a beautiful home.
Now could you see moving into a woman's house or
would you feel like now we got to get something
on our own? Or does that feel you feel like
(28:32):
she got a nice house, I'll move in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Absolutely not not happening. You know. The thing about it
is this though, there's a different it's a thing. It's
sometimes I said this way, in general, we can we
can do things emotionally that may cause us to feel
differently from when we first thought to approach whatever that is.
(28:58):
So it's the same way. It's the same thing. Sometimes
when I was when I was teaching, I was working
to have school programs and so forth, and I used
to tell the parents, try not to give out a
reward when you're super excited, or discipline when you're very upset,
because emotionally we can make promises in ideas that we
(29:18):
can't keep. So I'm saying is to say that as
a guy, I would not move into like now. I've
don't get me wrong, I've stayed in there a couple
of times. I spend but full on. You know, I
don't even play games. But here's my xbox and hear
my hats and put them up. No, because at any point,
(29:40):
if you know you don't come in early enough for
you know you don't, you don't put the seat back down,
You're going to get a notice. And you know it's
also a thing. It's a thing for that kind of
power is a different thing man, and in the hands
(30:00):
of a of a woman. So I say, hey, keep
it safe and find something mutual, or if she don't
want to get rid of the home, cool, keep your
home and maybe if you want to rent it out
or still do something. And then hey, baby, let's let's
go get this studio apartment together. At least it's ours.
And it's because that way we on equal footing. But
(30:23):
him going on the lease, oh man, him going over there.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Her house is beautiful though she got a nice pool,
hot tub. I mean, what afall she.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Gonna And she's gonna remind him of it every time
he acts up. You're in my nice pool. You don't
like how my roote's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now. Another thing that you talked about on your White
Tea talk. You talked about people who all of a
sudden become like these financial gurus after taking a course.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You know, not to cut you off, but the knowing.
This is the thing about it. And I'm speaking on
behalvy and I'm not even coming from someplace broke. I'm
just on behalf of people who are trying to become
financially literate and trying to understand what to do with
their finances. First off, those of you who understand money,
(31:14):
this is what I want. I would like for you
just to consider. Here's another angle. Everybody don't have five
thousand dollars ten thousand dollars to just invest. If they
do got that kind of money, they don't have that
kind of money to risk. As far as like this,
(31:35):
I member in my house, we grew up and we
had like one family man, and I remember I used
to try to drive when I got my license, and
my mom was like, listen, we don't have another if
you wreck the car. This is it like in my house.
Maybe because I'm coming from a different place, but my
angle is this, I didn't grow up in a family
(31:56):
where I had people I could borrow from, Like that's
not my reality of just saying, or even for myself.
It wasn't like I could go on go away to
school or somewhere and be and my mom drove up
with the with the U haul and had new bed
sheets and all my supplies. I couldn't borrow. From my mind,
(32:18):
that wasn't the household that grew up. And so coming
from that angle, I wish that those who are financially
stable remember you're also My question is do you want
to help people get financially stable or do you just
want to let us know how much you know about finances,
(32:38):
because if you care, talk to us in a way
that we understand. People get on there and say, hey, listen, man.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
All you gotta do you get a CPA, You get
a CPA, you get a TTL. Once you get TTL,
you put three thousand dollars into the IRA eight and ora.
And for listen, bro, we don't know all the letters
and all of that. Talk to us in a way.
Let's if you how much you gotta and go talk
low numbers. If you already got more making more than that,
(33:06):
they probably already get it. Hey, listen, you gotta Let's
take me, for example, I'm thinking that abstual program job,
maybe fifteen bucks, and now it's kind of a raise.
But let's just say, yo, if you're making about three
hundred dollars, three to four hundred dollars every other week, Okay,
this is what you gotta do. Just take fifty dollars
(33:27):
of that, put that away here, and after you get that,
talk to us and like you want us to grow
with you.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Otherwise it's just annoying. It's you know, and I think people,
I think sometimes people they get they get a kick
off of being able to talk, uh, talk at you
and not like like talk to me, talk with me
if you want me to. If you that's if you care.
Now if you don't care, and you want to continue
to talk about your financial gain, and that's cool. It's
(33:55):
just like sometimes you know, I hear about the people
that be bragging about the house they live in and
but they live in two below Mississippi. The houses were
two hundred bucks. I'm like, yeah, I know, you got
a four bedroom with a pool in the yard and
in a you know, in a farm, but la in
Los Angeles, you gotta be doing well. You know, let's
(34:18):
start there. If you care now, if you don't care,
then they do what you do for your ego or
whatever whoever it is you're servicing. But I'm just talking
on behalf of somebody that comes from you know, twenty
eight dollars in his bank account, so you know, I
just speak for those people.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
What was that time like for you, like you said,
when you were working and you know, twenty eight dollars
in the bank account, what was your mindset like that?
And did you feel like I'm just waiting for my
big break? Like how did how did you feel at
that time, because you also have ups and downs when
it comes to acting right.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, you know with all I knew is that something's
got to happen. So I was still taking some free
classes whatnot. And I just remember one day and after
school program, I just looked at my account as like
twenty eight dollars. This look, this is what I knew.
I was booking. You've ever been so broke you start
thinking of creative ways to dods to get paid. This
(35:14):
is where I was at. I said, you know what,
I looked at my bank account at twenty eight dollars.
I said, Man, if if I leave here and I go,
you know, I said, if I start the next morning,
I'm going to go get a suit, I'm going to
fill out my resumes. I'm going to hand them out,
and before I get back home, I'm gonna jump right
in front of a bus. I said, Man, if I
get paid.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
You did not think that me and.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Lots of people think like this. He said, Well, if
I get if I just pulled in front of a bus,
I might get some sure, so it's a city government bus,
it's some money.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I just settle.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
I'm thinking stuff like that because I'm so problem like
I got to figure out a way to pull a
quicker down, you know, a quick joke. So that's where
I was. But I just knew I worked at the
school because I love working kids. And I still do
shout out to n CRIF National College Resources Foundation organization
where we helped students get into the HBCUs. So I
(36:11):
still shout out to Yoyo, me and yo Yo. We're
part of that. Ambassadors kel Mitchell DaVinci from being Math,
we're all a part of this as ambassadors. But again,
I love working with kids, so I knew. I knew
that that was where I needed to be at the time.
So fortunately I didn't have you know, I don't have kids.
I didn't have a lot of responsibilities. Just had a car, note,
(36:33):
cell phone. That was about it. So if I could
keep my my maintenance stuff down, I didn't really need
a high pand job at the time. So but I
just was like, yea, I gotta stay focused and that
was all I was on and let me work these
open mics comedy clubs until something happened. I didn't know.
I just knew I was enjoying what I was doing.
(36:54):
But that's why it's important to do what it is
you love to do, because you can do it for free,
or it'll help you sustain doing it for free if
you actually like what it is you're doing. So I
just knew I had to stay very focused, and I
knew one thing. I knew I wasn't gonna have no
kids because I don't know nothing else. I know kids
are expensive.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, so that's a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
It's a whole other level. I wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So I just quite responsible.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I tried to be. I tried to be.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Every guy that has kids young was saying they wasn't
gonna have no kids, but somehow it happened.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I just knew I can afford it. I mean, if
nothing else, but there's no way you have a kid.
You got to think about food, You got me formally,
got to think about babysitters.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
You gotta think about the mom, and you gotta make
sure she's taking.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Care of her too. I forgot about that. But see,
I'm thinking about just a kid. I got us too much.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Because if she's not good, the kids not good at
the kids living with her, you gotta you know.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
So I just wasn't. I just didn't want no parts
of that because I just saw I saw a lot
of my friends have a hard time with that, and
I love children. I just it just was gonna be
distracting from what I was trying to do.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, we've seen that with Jukebox, you know, right right, Well, listen,
I appreciate you for stopping through, Like honestly, I think
you are hilarious, just from everything, like are you gonna
do an hour special? Half hour special? Like what's the
plan when.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
It so right now? It's just been so well now
that we you know, for this particular season, we're done shooting.
So that's why I'm in the clubs heavy. I just
want I'm just working out and flushing out material right
now because yes, ultimately that's the goal. Because people don't know,
sit don't know I do stand up. So I'm still
working to get you know, to get that out. You
know people, the people who know know and our tour
(38:37):
and different things like that, but still a lot of
people just don't know I come from stand up.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
So what's people's reaction when they see you and they
didn't know that?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
And they're like, yeah, it is when you know, when
I first step out, they're excited to see me from
the show. Fortunately, they think after coming off these last
few seasons, they think Marvin is funny. So that helps
because initially Marvin this this show is a drama, so
you know, I'm coming into the show on the drama
(39:07):
side on the season one, so they were still trying
to figure it out. But for whatever they found humorous
about Marvin, it's been helping. So initially they come on
the like, well what is he? Okay? That's here? They
clap and then they're like, what do you what are
you doing? And then eventually as we start to talk,
I'm more candid with my style, which is just fun conversations.
(39:30):
So listen, this is it's like when I go live.
It's kind of the vibe of my stand up, which is,
let me just tell you what's going on and trip on.
This ain't thank great. So hopefully I can continue to
do that and build with the audience and they continue
to rock with me.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
How do other comedians receive you when it comes to
getting on so you feel like it's helpful because it's
such a competitive place to be.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
You know, it depends Like when I was working clubs here,
the comedians respect me from the show, but they still
don't know, Oh, I do stand ups, so they kind
of it's an interesting kind of sit back and there's
this air in the air. You know. Also just a
New York day. This is a whole other temperament here.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah, because people want to not laugh and.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
The audience. The audience is cool. But the comedians, I
can tell they just don't know what's going on with me.
If I'm back West, then the funny thing is a
lot of people that started out in my class, they're
all out, uh dc ervin out with Marlon Wayne's and
people touring and different things like that. Shout out to
Tony Baker and Brandon Lewis and a lot of my friends.
They're out. So I went to the I'm working clubs
(40:39):
in LA and the other week and so it's just
a whole new class. So I can tell this new
class comedians, they're looking at me the way I looked
at you know, Tony Rock when I came into the
game or something, the comedian that was above me. I
was like, yo, that's I remember him from this show
and death Jam, And I could tell they kind of
look at me like, oh, that's the garden raiser. Canan
(41:01):
there's a there's a respectful thing there. I was like, oh, listen, man,
take that out of your eyes. This's is some one
of you guys. I'm one of the brothers. So it's
it's a process, but I enjoy that, so I don't
get tired of the clubs. The clubs?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Is it all right? Well, we'd love to see it.
So everybody make sure you check them out and people
can find out where your shows are if they go

Speaker 2 (41:40):

I think I could. I could share that we've got
another season, okay, so yeah, yeah, awesome.
