SPEAKER_01 (03:59):
Yeah, no, that was a fun one.
I mean, being being from LA,being able to do a movie for LA,
about LA, that traverses thehood that I grew up in, that was
a monumental experience for mefor sure.
SPEAKER_04 (04:11):

Um, but yeah, nah, I mean, LA isthat's home.
So yeah, it's it felt good to bea representation of the city
that I'm from in a movie for thecity that I'm from.
Okay.
SPEAKER_04 (04:32):
Well, you on the East Coast now.
We uh we actually talking alittle East Coast versus West
Coast vibes.
What you wanna talk about?
Uh we're gonna get into somemusic because I'll remember
right now.
SPEAKER_03 (04:39):

SPEAKER_04 (05:00):
I've actually, well, shout out Brittany too, she's
over there.
But I've been going to the WestCoast more.
I've been I've been liking LA.
It's cool out there.
So I mean, we have vibe outthere.
SPEAKER_01 (05:09):
I think LA gets a bad rep, just like a lot of
transplants.
No offense to anybody that movedto LA, but a lot of transplants
feel like they have thispreconceived notion of what LA
is supposed to be like.
And so when they come out there,they put on this facade or they
they feel like they have to besomething else.
And LA is definitely the type ofcity where if you are yourself,
you are accepted.
And I think LA natives are a lotmore chill than I don't know,
(05:32):
people give us credit for.
SPEAKER_05 (05:33):
Man's gonna call them a transplant.
SPEAKER_01 (05:35):
And then say no offense.
No offense.
Like if you move to if you moveto LA and you're from somewhere
else, you are automatically atransplant.
I'm not saying you wanted thetransplants, fucking it up.
But I mean, where y'all from?
SPEAKER_04 (05:45):
We all over.
I mean, we lived in Jersey, NewYork.
Okay, uh, we live down here now.
I'm from New York.
You from New York?
Originally.
What part?
Brooklyn.
Oh, we live in Brooklyn.
Yeah, he's born in Brooklyn.
What part?
Born in Brooklyn.
SPEAKER_05 (05:56):
Yeah, what what part of Brooklyn?
Oh, East Brooklyn.
SPEAKER_03 (05:59):
East Brooklyn, East Brooklyn.
East Brooklyn Saint.
Okay, I was in Florida most ofmy life.
Okay, then I'm from Cannarsey.
I know what I said.
Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (06:07):
Yeah, we we Florida boys now, but uh you know, just
seeing because we especiallyMiami, we have a lot of
transplants too.
Yeah, um, so I'm kind of likecomparing the vibe of like
because I say Miami and LA arevery similar.
SPEAKER_05 (06:18):
Really?
Well, as far as like if you'recomparing it to other cities,
because I I also lived inFlorida too, from like nine to
thirteen, right before I movedto LA.
And I'm that's interesting.
SPEAKER_04 (06:29):
Take I think not I don't think the people are
similar.
It's more so the definitely notthe weather, obviously.
Okay, just kind of you know,other cities, it's cold.
I think the shininess of Miamiand Atlanta can be compared to
that.
SPEAKER_03 (06:43):
You get a lot of you get it, like you said,
transplants down here.
If you talk to locals in Miami,people born and raised in Miami,
they will tell you like I'mboying.
Like yeah, yeah.
Brickle, Windwood, South Beachis not true, Miami.
So right, right, right.
So when you come down here, youmove here, you're not moving to
no offense.
You're not moving to HigherLeah.
You're not moving to Kendall,like you're moving to be here
(07:05):
from Miami.
So I get what you're saying fromthe transplant aspect.
SPEAKER_05 (07:08):
But I didn't even touch like Miami till like 20
something.
My grandmother used to live inLittle Haiti, so I used to be
there all the time.

SPEAKER_05 (08:15):
But um yeah, it was, you know, came across like any

And um, yeah, you know, we putit on tape.
Uh, this was during 2020,pandemic era.

Yes.
I'm way behind.

SPEAKER_04 (08:52):
Let's go down the timeline.
How far back are you going?
SPEAKER_05 (08:54):
Okay, okay, down the timeline.
We we uh first the first thing Iever did was General Hospital.
General Hospital.
Yes.
I mean, y'all trying to go downthe timeline.
Wait, how old are you?

SPEAKER_04 (09:06):

SPEAKER_05 (09:07):
Um 13.
SPEAKER_04 (09:08):

SPEAKER_05 (09:08):
13 or 14.
SPEAKER_04 (09:10):
Okay.
SPEAKER_05 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did like 22 episodes atGeneral Hospital.
Wow.
That was like my first uh TVappearance, which was great
because I did theater my wholelife.
And it was a really goodtransition from theater to
television because it's it'svery much like theater.
So you know it's on a stage,everything's fast-paced.
SPEAKER_04 (09:28):
What do you say the biggest differences are?
SPEAKER_05 (09:30):
Uh between theater and television.
Television.
Um, I mean, you know, just thelive aspect, the nerves are
messing up, um, you know, theprojection, everything's over
the top.
You have to act with your wholebody rather than you know being
in a tight frame or anythinglike that.
Uh it's a it's it's a lot morelike like relationship oriented
too, because you know, you canyou can come to set and not know
(09:52):
who you're working with, and youguys just got scenes and then
you go home.
Like in theater, you arespending 12, 13, 14 hours a day,
every day rehearsing, you reallybecome like family with these
people.
SPEAKER_04 (10:04):
What about you, Patrick?
Like, what did you have atheater background or kind of
just hopped in?
SPEAKER_01 (10:08):
I got stage fright, oddly enough.
Yeah.
Nah, my my body used to shake,my breathing would get all
weird, and yeah, now it's like Ijust get on stage, and the
second I started talking, I justsweat hella.
So you still get stage fright?
Last time I was on stage, likeyeah, when was that?
When was that?
Three years ago?
And it was just a stage reading.
We was on stage with the withthe scripts in front of us, and
I started taking up some linecome up.
(10:28):
I started reading sweating.
I was like, man, you just gottapush through it.
SPEAKER_05 (10:31):
But you know what I was thinking, I was thinking
about um when you hosted.
No, I was actually good thatnight.
Yeah, you was.
Yeah, I was having fun.
No, you were you were great.
You were sweating though.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (10:43):
Maybe it was still happening.
Yeah, yeah.
I was off to the side.
You remember that?
I was in the game.
Yes, it doesn't still happen.
Yes, if I'm on the stage, if I'melevated, yes, I will still
sweat.
SPEAKER_04 (10:54):
But um, so when you stay on stage, like like acting
for an audience or like likehosting?
SPEAKER_01 (11:00):
Um, apparently both.
Because I mean, like I was onthat stage, just I think it's
the elevation, and I'm realsusceptible to people's energy.
I mean, shit.
I just started talking, Istarted sweating right now.
Um, I just I feel like when Isee people or I can feel people
looking at me to be entertainedor for me to like give them
energy back, the energy thatthey're giving to me in that
moment to like like in inwaiting, yeah, I feel that.
(11:21):
And that's it.
SPEAKER_04 (11:21):
Honestly, I I've always wondered because I feel
that, and sometimes when I'mlike, even doing this sometimes,
when you're kind of like waitingfor a reaction, and they're just
like, like it's kind of like youjust got you got eyes on me.
What are you doing?
And I'm like, uh, and they'relike, oh, that was so good.
I'm like, that's fine.
Okay.
I told him that yesterday.
SPEAKER_03 (11:40):
We shoot just us two in the house, like we're
chilling, whatever.
Yeah, yesterday was like thefirst time we had like eyes on
us while we're filming, like yo,y'all still watching us like it
was those eyes.
SPEAKER_01 (11:48):
Turn around.
Okay, okay.
No, I mean, uh, no stagebackground.
My first project was iCarly.
You want iCarly?
iCarly, bro.
Yeah.
I gotta go back to the couple ofthings.
The episode when her room brokedown, yeah.
It was I had one episode, oneline.
So, like, I I asked my mom tolet me go to homeschool for a
year to focus on acting, and shewas like, if you book something
in that year, you can stay out.
And so I booked iCarly.
(12:10):
It was one line, and she waslike, That's not good enough.
You booked it yourself?
Yeah, yeah.
How old were you?
Uh 15.
SPEAKER_04 (12:15):
Damn, okay.
SPEAKER_01 (12:15):
Yeah, no, 16.
16 when I did that, and then shewas like, That's not good
enough.
You gotta book something else.
And a few months later, I bookedWe the Party, which uh directed
by Mario Van Peoples, YG, SnoopDogg.
Okay, so it was just kind oflike a build-up.
Yeah, I mean, it was a it was aquick build.
I mean, I went from one line tohaving fucking 20 seniors we the
party 2010 when we shot it.
(12:36):
I know that one hurt you.
We talked about this other sidebecause he auditioned for the
main role.
SPEAKER_05 (12:39):
Listen, listen, if you were a young black actor in
2010, you went out for a Wheatof Party.
At the time, it was Where theParty at?
Yeah, right, where the party at,and and at the time too, y'all
remember like the jerkingphenomenon?
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:52):
Okay, y'all was jerk.
SPEAKER_05 (12:54):
So listen, though, it's cool if you was in your
reject, no nothing.
But um, man, and I was heavyinto that as a kid, and that was
kind of what the movie was like.
That was what it was about,yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (13:06):
Yeah, it's like it was like a this is it was a
docudrama about the jerk era,yeah.
SPEAKER_05 (13:10):
And it was like it was I was so obsessed with the
role.
I wanted it so, so bad.
And I didn't I didn't even knowyou at the time.
Yeah, no, and then I watched themovie uh 20.
SPEAKER_01 (13:22):
What when we met?
Yeah, 15, 16.
Yeah, we've been we've beenfriends for a long time.
It was 20 minutes.
2015.
Yeah, because last year it was10 years, yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
You met on set or nah through uhthe mutual friend Kofi, Ciro
Bone.
Kofi, yeah.
Yeah, so they did a movie kicksback in the day.
And then when they were doingpromo for it, I was kicking it
with Kofi.
He brought me around.
(13:42):
I met this nigga, dude.
I met this dude, and I was like,yeah, this uh this is a great
guy.
So Kobe, man.
SPEAKER_05 (13:51):
Shout out Kofi.
Shout out Kobe, shout out JayTip too, Justin Tipping, who
directed him that just came outuh last year, I think.
Yeah, that's what's up.
Let's do a little function.
SPEAKER_03 (14:00):
You guys started off fun once.
You guys started off fairlyyoung though, yeah.
Um, into the scene.
Um at that age, was there anyoneat the time like kind of
inspiring you?
Like, oh, I'm trying to be likehim, or was it just like from a
young age, that's what I'mtrying to do?
And then now, as you guys aregetting older, is it like this
is where I'm trying to go, andthis is who you know I look up
(14:22):
to in this role, or is it justlike I'm blazing my own path for
that?
SPEAKER_01 (14:26):
Um, you want to take this, or I can I feel like for
me it was a little bit of both.
Uh at the time, uh my childhoodbest friend was Rashawn Fagan,
who was on Shake It Up at thetime.
And so we was always outtogether.
He was making music, I wasdirecting his videos, I was just
involved in the industry andbeing around people like
Terrence and and shit like that.
(14:47):
And so it's like, I think at ayoung age, I was just always
around it.
And at around 15, people werejust asking me, like, oh, what
do you want to do when you growup?
What do you want to do?
And I was like, I've alwaysloved this acting thing, and I
don't have to grow up to do it.
I can do it right now.
And I think that was what it waswas everybody kind of asking me
what I want to do with my lifethat made me say this is it, and
choose to kind of spearhead thatjourney.
(15:08):
And I think now, I don't know, Imean, I'm I'm 17 years in.
I obviously have people thatinspire me artistically, like uh
Tom Hardy, one of my favoriteactors, Chris Nolan, my favorite
director.
Still want to work with JonathanMajors.
I know people have theirfeelings, but I think he's
phenomenal.
Great actor.
Um so like there's definitelypeople that I have on like a on
(15:28):
a hit list that I want to workwith or want to elevate my
talent to be able to be on thesame pedestal to be in a project
with them.
But I think now, I mean, like Isaid, I started directing this
year, so I'm in a space of justtrying to create overall.
What are you directing?
Um, romance, actually.
Uh that's that's the name of itor?
No, no, no.
Romance is just the type offilms that I want to do.
(15:50):
So right now, you got a loverboy in the building.
Yeah, I'm shooting uh I shoot myfirst short actually in a couple
weeks, June 10th and 11th.
Okay.
Um, my second short stars him.
Uh so yeah, I'm just I'm reallytrying to just find my style as
a director, the way I want totell these romance stories.
And, you know, God willing, allgoes well.
The next one I direct afterthat, submit to ABFF.
We get in and we win.
(16:12):
So then that will be your thirdone.
That fourth.
So I got three originals.
Uh like there may be about threeto five pages that I want to
drop on socials, Instagram,TikTok, YouTube.
And then that fourth one, I wantto like kind of really focus
more on story and and characterbuilding.
And that one's the one I want tosubmit.
SPEAKER_04 (16:28):
But so you're just expanding, you're doing
directing and acting.
SPEAKER_01 (16:31):
Yes.
Okay.
So acting is still gonna bealways a part of me.
I mean, that's that's what's myfirst love.
Yeah, it's but directing, I justfeel like I'm not limited by
what I look like or what I soundlike in order to tell a certain
story.
Like if there's something I wantto say, but he's a better fit
for the character, I can stillhop behind the lens and still
get that story off.
SPEAKER_05 (16:46):
And you see, that that's 17 years in the game.
Yeah, uh, people don't feel likethat.
People are like, no, I want tobe in the camera.
SPEAKER_01 (16:57):
Me, it's me, it's me.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I just I try I've trulygrown to a place where I I just
love storytelling now.
Actually, much respect.
Yeah, we hope to see you at thenext.
We will see you at the nextyear.
Yeah, 100% next year.

SPEAKER_05 (20:55):
When the music kind of Um around the same time, but
it was like uh it was like ahobby.
You know what I'm saying?
Like we used to come to schooland like have like freestyle
battles.
Like we used to battle eachother in the cart in the
courtyard um before class.
And it just became like acompetition thing, really.
And through competition, you getyou get you get better.

Ooh.
SPEAKER_04 (23:25):
It says a lot about a person.
SPEAKER_01 (23:27):
It's a tie because people don't consider this an
album.
They consider it a mixtape.
But for me, it's if you'rereading this, it's too late.
And then under that, I'd saynothing was the same.
That's an album.
What was the first one you said?
If you're reading this, it's toolate.
Yeah, that was my shit.
When that shit dropped, I was inacting class.
Like not enough people, notenough people like that.

Okay.
And then take care right underthat.
And then after that, we canshuffle.
Scorpions.
Scorpion.

Really?
SPEAKER_05 (23:53):
I mean, bro, if you if you No, no, you don't have to

You don't have to sell me.
I just never have to.
Yeah, that's my first time here.

It's ether, the whole point.
Bangers, both sides.

What's yours?
SPEAKER_04 (24:31):
Top one?
Or just give me one two, yeah.
Um favorite one.
I like views, to be honest.
I like views.
When you keep the family close.
Um most people did it.
Most people didn't.
I actually like um if you'rereading this, I forget the name.
Because that was uh that year Ijust uh got to college.
(24:53):
I was like just startingcollege.
SPEAKER_01 (24:54):
So that was like running through the Andose
Secret albums that he justdropped randomly at nine o'clock
or midnight or whatever.
I remember being in class,looking at the album.
SPEAKER_05 (25:04):
I'll never forget views dropped when I lived in
Vancouver, Canada for fivemonths.
I shot one show out there calledWayward Ponds.
And I'm not even trying to flex,but like I I lived on the 24th
floor of this like penthouseplace they put me up.
And like, I don't know if youguys have ever seen Vancouver,
but it's like super futuristic.
Like it's like it has glassbuildings.
(25:26):
So like I had the views when theviews came out, like I really
thought he was like he wastalking about my life.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
SPEAKER_03 (25:32):
When you talk about his pen and like soundtrack to
your life, that was the firsttime that I really felt like
okay, he that's he's talking tome.
Which one?
SPEAKER_01 (25:39):
Take care, he dropped it, and I broke up with
my first like little high schoolgirlfriend, and I was like, This
nigga gets it.
SPEAKER_04 (25:45):
But like, because like a lot of us, take care came
out a time where I'm guessing wearound the same age.
But um I think we weren't likeold enough to fully understand
it yet.
But we were just stepping intostepping into our manhood.
And then as we look back andwe're like, damn, that was a
real professional.
SPEAKER_05 (26:04):
But as far as Iceman goes, we'll we can we can bring
this to a conclusion.
I genuinely feel like Iceman issome of his best work ever.
I actually just Iceman or allthree?
I mean all three, but I'm gonnaI'm gonna single out Iceman
because I think the other twoalbums is like if you like that,
you like that.
Like if you like the RB Drake,here you go.
If you like the outside partyDrake, here you go.
(26:24):
But Iceman, like that, likethat's that is.
I I yeah, I relate so crazy towhat he's on on that.
SPEAKER_04 (26:32):
And I think he intentionally did it like that,
where he knows Iceman is themain thing.
But here, I'm gonna give y'allone for the ladies, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
One for the little summeranthems, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it's Drake, yeah, how heis.
Yeah, but I actually I'll throwthis in.
No one likes this album.
I liked his house album.
SPEAKER_05 (26:48):
Who said who knows?
SPEAKER_04 (26:50):
A lot of people, honestly, never mind.
Loved it.
A lot of people didn't like it.
Fuck you.

I'm not gonna lie.
Not in the field, please.
I knew it was gonna be crazy assoon as I heard as soon as I

I was like, And you can't denyit.
Nah, that that's the same thing.

Because look, we lost thebattle, but we win the war.
SPEAKER_07 (28:54):
We is a lot of people.
SPEAKER_05 (28:55):
I'll never concede.
SPEAKER_03 (29:00):
Got my other goat on here.
Future of Travis Scott.
SPEAKER_04 (29:03):
Future.
I'm you know there's nothing totalk about.
Yeah, nothing to talk aboutthere.
What?
You know what's crazy?
The first time I heard TravisScott was on the Drake album uh
company.
SPEAKER_00 (29:13):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, really?
That was the first time youheard Travis?
First time I heard Travis Scott,you couldn't get.
SPEAKER_04 (29:18):
Then I went back and heard Days Before Rodeo on the
video.
Oh man, I was on Days BeforeRodeo like as soon as he
dropped.
I was late, but still gonnafuture.
Yeah, yeah, future.
SPEAKER_03 (29:26):
Oh, come so next one.
We got all right, so it justsays LA or or New York, but I'll
expand on it.
Let's say, like That's a toughone for me, though.
West Coast Culture, food,influence, impact, artist, the
whole nine.
Oh shit.
SPEAKER_01 (29:40):
Think wisely, man.
I know this is gonna suck.
All right, so food, y'all gonnabe mad, but food is definitely
New York.
Definitely New York.
It's just so much moremulticultural.
Like, as far as like soul food,we got that shit.
Duelens, like, come on.
SPEAKER_03 (29:52):
I'm gonna be real.
Um, LA, I was surprised by thefood out there.
It was really good.
And it is I'm I'm uh I'm biasedbecause I like burritos, I like
breakfast.
Oh, I tell that too.
New York don't do Mexican.
Yeah, if that's what you like,we got that.
Every morning I can get adifferent breakfast burrito.
So I'm gonna go there.
If you like Indian food, youlike burrito aborted.
So that's where I feel like NewYork.
New York different food.
SPEAKER_01 (30:12):
If you want the bigger variety, yeah, and that's
100% New York.
That's yeah, that's what I'msaying.
But Mexican food, hands down,us.
Um culturally, I'm still gonnabe.
I'm gonna have to say it's toughjust because I grew up in LA
culture, so I'm gonna have tosay LA, but like I appreciate
the people of New York because Ijust feel like you don't see
many LA natives in LA anymore.
They've left or they're only inthe hood.
(30:35):
And so it's like in New York,you just get more New Yorkers
that are just real, and that'swhat I appreciate.
Like people say the New Yorkersare assholes.
I just feel like they're honest.
If they fuck with you, they fuckwith you.
If they don't, they don't.
SPEAKER_05 (30:46):
Like that's that's uh the you know, the difference
between the shininess of NewYork and the shininess of LA.
Like, whereas the thetransplants in LA are so easily
impressed.
Like in New York, if you'relame, you're lame.
It doesn't matter.
You got lame everywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
It don't matter what city youin.
You got money or what you whatyou just did, it don't matter.
Like, if your energy's notright, we see that and we're not
(31:08):
we don't like you.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Facts.
SPEAKER_04 (31:10):
Facts.
It's it's funny because hereit's like kind of the same
thing, like with the flashiness,like they got they could hide it
with the money.
But because girls, girls willcome down here and you know they
just they're here for a fewdays.
SPEAKER_05 (31:25):
Shiny objects shine the craziest in my air.
Boy, they eat that up down here.
They eat that up down here.
They eat that up down here.
Ogre back.
SPEAKER_04 (31:36):
Yeah, we see some crazy shit in my mom.
Well, you want to talk about it?
Nah, nah, no, no, no.
We're gonna leave that rightthere.
SPEAKER_03 (31:43):
Beat that, man.
For the next one.
Yeah, MJ or Prince?
SPEAKER_01 (31:49):
I was about to say, why is Kobe nut on the list?
SPEAKER_03 (31:50):
Uh I'm gonna go MJ.
SPEAKER_01 (31:52):
I'm gonna go Michael Jackson.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like you gotta go MichaelJackson, but like Prince is so
under.
I feel like if you asked Tiger,he would say Prince.
SPEAKER_04 (31:59):
But it's also like it's not to take away from
Prince, neither.
Prince is Prince.
Prince is okay.
He's his own person.
SPEAKER_05 (32:05):
Yeah, I almost hate the question because it's like
for me personally.
Whereas both of them musicallyare so sound, but then Mike is
gonna dance.
And Prince Prince will play thatguitar.
SPEAKER_03 (32:20):
I think Mike took it to another another level, and he
had that longevity, yeah, and hejust did so much more, but that
doesn't take any way, anythingaway from Prince's talent.
Prince is like Princess Prince,Mike is my own.
SPEAKER_04 (32:36):
I ain't gonna lie, the or is the ores both of them
or Prince's or actually becauseyou said at the beginning, I
hate the MJ versus uh versusLeBron question.
Oh, yeah or Kobe or anything,because like no, we get it.
SPEAKER_01 (32:54):
There's really I can't stand, I'll die on this
hill.
It's Kobe all day.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05 (32:58):
Who wanna fight me?
Okay, no, that's that's real.
That's real.
But like if we're talking aboutMJ versus LeBron, like to me,
there's no debate.
Like it's it's MJ.
Like, I don't really care whatanybody says.
Like, at the end of the day,yeah, eras, oh, they played
against a bunch of plumbers.
No, bro.
Competition was yeah, right.
Competition was what it was backthen.
That's why people won games andpeople lost games.
(33:19):
Like, you could say peopleweren't talented, but the
competition level was where itwas at for a reason.
There were certain people thatexceled just like there are
certain people that excel today.
So that argument's out.
To me, why Michael Jordan isbetter than LeBron James is
because adversity.
And I know people are like, oh,but LeBron James had all the
things stacked against him.
Yeah, but look at how he actedwhen they were stacked against
(33:42):
him.
Look at the moves he made, theplaces he went, the people he
depended on.
Whereas Jordan, although theydid have a great team, had less
to depend on.
Where it was like, to me, we'retalking about basketball, if
we're talking about sports, howyou define greatness.
It's very simple.
Five seconds left on the clock,all 19,000 people in the
building know who is going totake the shot.
(34:04):
So I take this shot witheverybody knowing I'm about to
take a shot, and I make it, I'mgreat.
When it's five seconds left, Idon't know what brauit to do
with that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03 (34:14):
I just feel like it's not close.
With with I feel like it's notclose.
I feel like it's brawn and it'snot close.
Oh, you're insane.
What?
You're entertained.
I think it's brawn and it'sbrawn.
I'm gonna be real, I won't evenentertain.
That's like the first time Iheard you say that.
I won't entertain Kobe.
No, that's where it's notentertaining.
And that would be I can'tentertain Kobe.
SPEAKER_01 (34:33):
You can't entertain the conversation between Kobe
versus LeBron?
SPEAKER_03 (34:37):
Yeah, I can't, bro.
I can't entertain that.
I can't enter that.
SPEAKER_01 (34:40):
Oh, bro.
SPEAKER_05 (34:43):
Wait, talk about it.
Talking about before thefisticuffs, why?
unknown (34:48):
Like, how is that?
SPEAKER_03 (34:49):
I think I think before we get into it, yeah, we
can talk about every criteria,every metric that you want to
measure.
Objectively, LeBron is better.
Now, if we want to talk aboutart, we want to talk about Mamba
mentality, we want to talk abouttaking the last shot.
You like all that stuff, allthat stuff is all that stuff is
like how you feel.
(35:10):
That's emotion.
Like, oh, Kobe was a dog.
Kobe was a dog.
Yeah, facts.
But in every measurable metric,LeBron is and was better.
And see, this is my even even ifyou want to go to fourth quarter
clutchness, fourth quartershots, game winning shots, he he
like like objectively, he wasbetter.
Like this is on the internet.
SPEAKER_05 (35:29):
But see, but this thing, this is this is where I
get into our because obviously,you know, I go to the barbershop
once every two weeks.
And and this before youcontinue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (35:41):
When it happened with that belly, we should have
got that belly.
Before you continue, I feel likethe barbershop is the worst
place to have this conversation.
SPEAKER_05 (35:49):
Oh no, it can get bad.
My barbershop, um, before weswitch places, my barbershop
actually has two sets of boxing.
You got a box.
Yeah, no, you got a box.
No, swear to God, we're atbrother.
I swear I have been getting myhaircut and I've watched dozens
of people.
You got a box.
Because I've been going to thesame barbershop since I was 15.
(36:09):
I've watched dozens.
Yeah, yeah.
Unboxing about brown.
Box.
Yeah, yeah.
You boxing about brown?
Unboxing about Kobe.
Okay, like it is.
But continue, continue.
But like, I just feel likethat's there's a difference.
I think, and and that's fine.
There's a difference betweenpeople who, you know, uh read
the stats and they measurestuff, and there's a difference
between people who do that andwatch 48 minutes of regulation.
SPEAKER_03 (36:30):
I I I'm 27.
SPEAKER_05 (36:32):
Okay.
I watched it.
You missed a couple Kobe games,and that's why.
Because I get it.
SPEAKER_03 (36:37):
Whoa.
Whoa.
It's okay.
I get why you don't understand.
We're talking about the sameKobe that shared the MVP.
Kobe Bean Bryant, yes.
We're talking about the same onethat shared the MVP because
Braun has been the best playerin the league for the past 20
years.
Yeah, yeah.
By by far.
This is my first time hearingthe game.
So there's no there's no sharingan MVP with any of Braun's team.
SPEAKER_05 (36:57):
Here's what I'm gonna say is for me, it's it's
it's never about the numbers forme.
And I understand the numbers areimpressive, bro.
LeBron James is is not no slouchat all.
He is a GOAT in his own right.
I'm not about to discredit him.
But like for me, it's the eyetest.
I watch the game, I love thegame.
I play, I hoop my whole life.
You know what I'm saying?
So when I watch those two peopleplay, like there's something
(37:19):
different that happens when Iwatch Kobe.
SPEAKER_03 (37:21):
I can respect it.
Well, are you are you?
I can respect my thing is this.
SPEAKER_05 (37:24):
MJ was your one.
SPEAKER_03 (37:25):
Yeah, MJ.
Are you going to MJ Kobe Braun?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Okay, I can respect it.
If you tell me that it's eyetest, this is how you feel.
I'm not gonna change your eyetest.
SPEAKER_05 (37:33):
But the matter is, LeBron James' number is shit on
it.
I mean, yeah.
But my thing is everybody else.
SPEAKER_01 (37:39):
That's like saying Bam is a better player just
because he just got the rightthing.
SPEAKER_00 (37:47):
Technically, he's like you don't have a number.
SPEAKER_03 (37:50):
If you tell me if you tell if you tell me, if you
tell me Kobe's a more clutchplayer than LeBron, that's not
an eye test thing.
That's uh, okay, there's numbersthat back up clutch moments, and
objectively, one is better thanthe other.
Okay, so if you but if you butif you tell me that it's just
eye tests, this is how you feel,Kobe gives you a different feel.
I can't change your mind.
(38:10):
Yeah, yeah, no, you I get that.
But what I can't hear is, oh,Kobe's better than the fourth.
No, he's not.
Like he's that but you're wrongon it.
SPEAKER_05 (38:16):
But say this is this is the thing.
Here, like you're gonna talkabout it.
You gotta go Google Sit now.
I'm like, but like at the end ofthe day, we can talk about
fourth quarters, but not everyfourth quarter matters more than
other four quarters.
We can talk about regular seasonfour quarters all you want, but
if we talk about playoffperformances, it's not close,
bro.
We can go look at that.
SPEAKER_03 (38:33):
Playoff performances.
Yeah, playoff performances.
We're talking about three downthree-one.
You want to talk about clutch?
Down three-one to the greatestteam ever.
Yeah, yeah, no.
Down three-one to the greatestteam member.
SPEAKER_05 (38:41):
You know what?
That is the year LeBron Jamesfully gained my respect.
I was like, I can't say nothing.
SPEAKER_03 (38:47):
The 51-point game in game one, he kicks to his
teammate and he fucking doesn'tknow what to do with the ball.
But wide open.
But that's the that's what yousaid though.
SPEAKER_05 (38:55):
That's my whole thing.
SPEAKER_03 (38:57):
But to Kobe, but you're but you're a whooping.
SPEAKER_01 (39:01):
Kobe was so selfish selfish with the ball, he would
never let that hit.
SPEAKER_03 (39:04):
But what doesn't get mentioned is when Shaq was
sharing an MVP with him, whenRobbie Ory hits a shot, a
three-point shot in the finalsto save Kobe, when Ron Artest
hits a three-point shot to saveKobe, that doesn't get talked
about.
Ron wouldn't take that shot.
But he all knows.
He's not even supposed to takethat shot.
He took that shot.
That's what happened.
So that doesn't get talked aboutthough.
No, it doesn't matter.
(39:24):
As a hooper, though, LeBron getsshit on because he doesn't take
a lot of shots in the fourth, orhe doesn't hoist up a bad shot.
He's gonna make the right play.
If George Hill makes a freethrow in that game, in that game
one, the the ball doesn't getkicked out.
JR's not even in that situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As a hooper, you're kicking tothe wide open player.
You expect my sharpshooter, mytwo guard to make the shot.
SPEAKER_05 (39:45):
And I understand.
And those are two differentbrands of basketball where I can
I can tell by watching LeBronJames play, he genuinely gets a
better kick out of passing theball than scoring.
I can tell he's that type ofplayer.
I think he's a player right now.
I think he's the type of guy.
I know for a fact that boy Kobewants to see that shit go
through the thousands.
Kobe likes every thousand.
Can everybody be clear, please?
(40:05):
And and you know, it's at theend of the day, it's just it's
what brand of basketball youlike more.
I personally am into Kobe, uhMichael.
And, you know, honestly, bro,LeBron James is third, and this
is a hot take, but I'm I'mputting Steph Curry at my four,
and I don't care what nobody'sdoing.
Not mad at it.
That's valid.
Not mad at it.
I'm putting Steph Curry at myfour, and that's valid.
SPEAKER_03 (40:24):
You want to talk about impact?
Not mad at it.
Okay.
Yeah, the greatest impact we'veseen.
Change the whole entire getMagic and Larry out of the top
five first.
Make room for Steph.
SPEAKER_04 (40:34):
Make room for Steph.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is something people don'tunderstand about acting?
SPEAKER_05 (40:40):
Man, um it it does a lot of uh wear and tear on the
soul for it.
Sorry, that was a natural.
The boy does it.
It's true, you know what I'msaying?
How the soul.
The soul, I mean, at the end ofthe day, like you come to, you
know, I'll like, you know, makeuh I'll make an analogy.
(41:01):
It's like a girl that you love,and like this girl consistently
just like says no to you, likeover and over and over again,
and you don't stop loving her,like you can't stop loving her.
And then like that one yes outof the a hundred, you know, it's
it's a toxic relationship verytoxic, but you that one yes,
that's the last you've beenwaiting for.
SPEAKER_01 (41:24):
And I'll take a hundred more fucking no's just
for her to say yes one more timeto me.
SPEAKER_04 (41:29):
Don Damaco, yes, is how much can you handle that no?
SPEAKER_05 (41:33):
And I think that's a testament to life and and God.
I think that's how we're tested.
I genuinely feel like it's abouthow much you can endure and
still remain sane and a goodperson with a good heart.
And I think that's like how youknow.
SPEAKER_01 (41:49):
I think that's where everything, too, because people
are quick to quit.
He's not talking about it, andso I'm gonna say it for him.
This exact question, he has atheory for, a saying for, and
it's the long walk home.
And it's I think I think that'sthe thing is every actor faces
that long walk home.
There's gonna be a project thatyou super want, you feel like
(42:10):
you're so aligned for, the tapewas great, the callback was
great, the test was great.
They act, they said they lovedyou in the room, it's yours.
And then after four days, threeweeks of being on hold, they say
no, and you don't have itanymore.
And everything is gone.
You've signed your contract, youknew how much money you were
gonna make.
SPEAKER_05 (42:26):
That's the crazy part.
I don't know if y'all know that.
This is a good idea.
You might not know about acting.
Um, there's things called testdeals, right?
So you go to the audition, thenyou get a callback, then you go
to a producer/slash test deal,where this is where you go, and
before you even go in the room,you have negotiated numbers.
You've negotiated, you sign yourcontract before you go in the
(42:47):
room to audition.
So therefore, after you book it,you can't like negotiate for
more or whatever.
SPEAKER_04 (42:54):
So they could throw, let's just throw a large X
amount of numbers.
SPEAKER_01 (42:57):
Oh no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you numbers I've seen.
50,000 on a contract.
SPEAKER_05 (43:01):
Yeah, yeah, 50,000.
And then you're going into theroom knowing I've signed a
contract, you know this beforeCOVID for 1.2 million dollars
over the whole season.
Like you go in there knowing Ido this the right way, I come
out with 1.2 million dollars.
SPEAKER_04 (43:14):
Damn.
So on the opposite end that'sdraining because if you get that
no, you know, I just lost 1.2million dollars.
But what's the reason they do itbeforehand?
Oh, that you can't renegotiatefor more.
SPEAKER_05 (43:25):
Because once you know, you know, it's like more
money.
SPEAKER_04 (43:29):
Now, does it make a difference where, like, all
right, you sign 1.2 mil?
Like, are you more fueled andmotivated to put on that back?
SPEAKER_05 (43:36):
You're more fueled, you're more motivated, you're
more nervous.
You're more nervous, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (43:40):
And you know, once you lose 1.2 million dollars.
Tell your family.
SPEAKER_05 (43:44):
And I don't know about y'all, you know, I'm
Haitian, you know.
I tell my mom something, thewhole family knows that's why we
Caribbean too.
So yeah, so it's like, you know,the whole fam, like you know
what I'm saying?
That little cousin thing abouther graduation gift.
I don't think about a startupface business.
And it's like you got all thisall this thing riding on you.
(44:04):
And then, you know, you you getsaid, no, what he just said um
about the long walk home, Ibriefly say it's like I I went
out for this audition that I wasso into, and you know, I I I
didn't get it.
I went to a bar like bang likefour or five IPAs.
You know what I'm saying?
I was just like, it is what itis, yeah.
Yeah, and and and I couldn'tdrive.
(44:27):
And my house was like four milesaway, and I was like, you know
what?
Walk.
And it took a long walk home andI cried and and I remember like
seeing this homeless dude.
And this is gonna sound likethis guy's crazy, but like I I
started laughing really hardbecause I thought to myself in
my mind, I was like, what ifthis is how homeless people are
(44:49):
created?
Like, what if I just never madeit home?
Just never just stay with him.
What if I just kicked him in theroom?
SPEAKER_01 (44:57):
Because of that one audition.
SPEAKER_04 (44:58):
Like your intro to homelessness?
SPEAKER_05 (45:00):
Right, yeah.
But I was like, what if everyhomeless person in LA was just
an actor that took the long walkhome, didn't make it home.
But it's like it all startshere.
SPEAKER_01 (45:08):
Like you gotta make it home from those from those
nose.
You gotta pick yourself back up,you gotta walk back into that
door.
That's the point.
And I mean, like to what youwere saying earlier about like
people starting out, maybe theyask outside.
Anyways, um, make sure you wantto do this for the right reasons
because this shit will breakyou.
Yeah, it will test you, it willtest you to see, like Lofton
says, it will either it willdrive you crazy and see if
(45:30):
you're crazy driven, and youhave to be both.
Like you have to have some alittle bit of insanity to
continue with this, but be in itfor the right reasons.
Don't think there's a shortcut.
Don't think like, oh, I'm gonnamove to LA and get a show in a
year.
SPEAKER_00 (45:41):
And it could happen.
SPEAKER_01 (45:42):
It could happen.
I'm not saying both.
SPEAKER_05 (45:43):
Put no energy on anybody.
SPEAKER_01 (45:45):
But do it for the right reasons.
Do it for the longevity, not forsome sort of time frame that you
feel like if I want to make abiodactive for two years, then
I'm gonna go sell crypto.
Like, if this is what you wantto do.
I was just about to say so.
It's an option.
It is an option.
I don't recommend you.
Don't do that.
Crypto's a lot safer.
SPEAKER_04 (46:03):
Uh well, we'll end on this.
What are your reasons for doingit?
SPEAKER_01 (46:07):
Um, I think they've changed over time, but uh, the
one that's maintained consistentis I truly do feel like I have a
calling on my life to entertainthe world.
Like, I love people.
People annoy the fuck out of mesometimes.
Get away from me.
But like, I truly feel like Ihave a job to entertain people,
to make them feel somethingthrough stories.
Um and before, like, you know,with acting, you can truly make
(46:30):
people feel a full gamut ofemotions, sadness, happiness,
joy, anything.
And so it's like, I want to beable to make people smile, and
then with my dramatic work,still be able to hold up a
mirror to them and hopefullyhelp them heal through some sort
of trauma that they're going to,or at least start the process,
the conversation, just lookingat themselves and saying, like,
there's a way forward.
Because I think entertainmentand art, film especially, can be
(46:51):
uh very informative.
I feel like you can pack a lotof information and lessons into
this form of entertainment.
SPEAKER_04 (46:57):
That's the reason we watch movies and TV.
SPEAKER_01 (46:59):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_05 (47:00):
For me, I mean, you know, you grow up and you get
told Christopher Columbus foundAmerica, and then you and then
you grow up and you realize likethat wasn't what happened.
And it's like there's this weirdthing with history and religion
where it's like we don't knowwhat's real.
Whereas you get to a point inyour life and you start to make
(47:22):
what's real for you.
And I think that's what is youknow, religion or spirit
spirituality.
Um, all that to say that I thinkthat film is a part of our
history, you know.
Like I think that's us makinghistory and giving people the
chance to make whatever theyfeel from watching and and make
that into a reality.
(47:43):
And I just think that there's alot of people that wake up every
day and don't do what they wantto do.
You know, people wake up andthen go to nine of the someone's
life, right?
Yeah, and I I think that that'sthe quickest way to die.
You know what I'm saying?
And if if you can come home andwatch my TV show for an hour and
feel something and laugh andsmile and create your own
reality through that or go tothe movies, then I did I did my
(48:05):
part.
You know what I'm saying?
Love that.
SPEAKER_04 (48:07):
Love that.
Honestly, that's the same thingwe feel with this podcast.
You're watching, we want to makepeople, it's called Can't I Buy
Witch's.
We want to want to make peoplefeel good.
No, I'm sure they felt goodenergy from y'all.
SPEAKER_05 (48:16):

genuinely sit here, talk toy'all boys.
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, yeah, but he said some Kendrick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He didn't say play Kendrick,right?
SPEAKER_01 (04:53):

I'm a Drake fan.
I'm I'm gonna stand on that.

Okay.
My man's looked into the cameraand looking into the camera.
Let's stand up.
SPEAKER_04 (05:00):
I've actually, well, shout out Brittany too, she's
over there.
But I've been going to the WestCoast more.
I've been I've been liking LA.
It's cool out there.
So I mean, we have vibe outthere.
SPEAKER_01 (05:09):
I think LA gets a bad rep, just like a lot of
transplants.
No offense to anybody that movedto LA, but a lot of transplants
feel like they have thispreconceived notion of what LA
is supposed to be like.
And so when they come out there,they put on this facade or they
they feel like they have to besomething else.
And LA is definitely the type ofcity where if you are yourself,
you are accepted.
And I think LA natives are a lotmore chill than I don't know,
(05:32):
people give us credit for.
SPEAKER_05 (05:33):
Man's gonna call them a transplant.
SPEAKER_01 (05:35):
And then say no offense.
No offense.
Like if you move to if you moveto LA and you're from somewhere
else, you are automatically atransplant.
I'm not saying you wanted thetransplants, fucking it up.
But I mean, where y'all from?
SPEAKER_04 (05:45):
We all over.
I mean, we lived in Jersey, NewYork.
Okay, uh, we live down here now.
I'm from New York.
You from New York?

Oh, East Brooklyn.
SPEAKER_03 (05:59):

Okay, I was in Florida most ofmy life.
Okay, then I'm from Cannarsey.
I know what I said.
Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (06:07):
Yeah, we we Florida boys now, but uh you know, just
seeing because we especiallyMiami, we have a lot of
transplants too.
Yeah, um, so I'm kind of likecomparing the vibe of like
because I say Miami and LA arevery similar.
SPEAKER_05 (06:18):
Really?
Well, as far as like if you'recomparing it to other cities,
because I I also lived inFlorida too, from like nine to
thirteen, right before I movedto LA.
And I'm that's interesting.
SPEAKER_04 (06:29):
Take I think not I don't think the people are
similar.
It's more so the definitely notthe weather, obviously.
Okay, just kind of you know,other cities, it's cold.
I think the shininess of Miamiand Atlanta can be compared to
that.
SPEAKER_03 (06:43):
You get a lot of you get it, like you said,
transplants down here.
If you talk to locals in Miami,people born and raised in Miami,
they will tell you like I'mboying.
Like yeah, yeah.
Brickle, Windwood, South Beachis not true, Miami.
So right, right, right.
So when you come down here, youmove here, you're not moving to
no offense.
You're not moving to HigherLeah.
You're not moving to Kendall,like you're moving to be here
(07:05):
from Miami.
So I get what you're saying fromthe transplant aspect.
SPEAKER_05 (07:08):
But I didn't even touch like Miami till like 20
something.
My grandmother used to live inLittle Haiti, so I used to be
there all the time.

SPEAKER_05 (08:15):
But um yeah, it was, you know, came across like any

I mean, y'all trying to go downthe timeline.

SPEAKER_04 (09:06):

SPEAKER_05 (09:07):
Um 13.
SPEAKER_04 (09:08):

SPEAKER_05 (09:08):
13 or 14.
SPEAKER_04 (09:10):
Okay.
SPEAKER_05 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did like 22 episodes atGeneral Hospital.
Wow.
That was like my first uh TVappearance, which was great
because I did theater my wholelife.
And it was a really goodtransition from theater to
television because it's it'svery much like theater.
So you know it's on a stage,everything's fast-paced.
SPEAKER_04 (09:28):
What do you say the biggest differences are?
SPEAKER_05 (09:30):
Uh between theater and television.
Television.
Um, I mean, you know, just thelive aspect, the nerves are
messing up, um, you know, theprojection, everything's over
the top.
You have to act with your wholebody rather than you know being
in a tight frame or anythinglike that.
Uh it's a it's it's a lot morelike like relationship oriented
too, because you know, you canyou can come to set and not know
(09:52):
who you're working with, and youguys just got scenes and then
you go home.
Like in theater, you arespending 12, 13, 14 hours a day,
every day rehearsing, you reallybecome like family with these
people.
SPEAKER_04 (10:04):
What about you, Patrick?
Like, what did you have atheater background or kind of
just hopped in?
SPEAKER_01 (10:08):
I got stage fright, oddly enough.
Yeah.
Nah, my my body used to shake,my breathing would get all
weird, and yeah, now it's like Ijust get on stage, and the
second I started talking, I justsweat hella.
So you still get stage fright?
Last time I was on stage, likeyeah, when was that?
When was that?
Three years ago?
And it was just a stage reading.
We was on stage with the withthe scripts in front of us, and
I started taking up some linecome up.
(10:28):
I started reading sweating.
I was like, man, you just gottapush through it.
SPEAKER_05 (10:31):
But you know what I was thinking, I was thinking
about um when you hosted.
No, I was actually good thatnight.
Yeah, you was.
Yeah, I was having fun.
No, you were you were great.
You were sweating though.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (10:43):
Maybe it was still happening.
Yeah, yeah.
I was off to the side.
You remember that?
I was in the game.
Yes, it doesn't still happen.
Yes, if I'm on the stage, if I'melevated, yes, I will still
sweat.
SPEAKER_04 (10:54):
But um, so when you stay on stage, like like acting
for an audience or like likehosting?
SPEAKER_01 (11:00):
Um, apparently both.
Because I mean, like I was onthat stage, just I think it's
the elevation, and I'm realsusceptible to people's energy.
I mean, shit.
I just started talking, Istarted sweating right now.
Um, I just I feel like when Isee people or I can feel people
looking at me to be entertainedor for me to like give them
energy back, the energy thatthey're giving to me in that
moment to like like in inwaiting, yeah, I feel that.
(11:21):
And that's it.
SPEAKER_04 (11:21):
Honestly, I I've always wondered because I feel
that, and sometimes when I'mlike, even doing this sometimes,
when you're kind of like waitingfor a reaction, and they're just
like, like it's kind of like youjust got you got eyes on me.
What are you doing?
And I'm like, uh, and they'relike, oh, that was so good.
I'm like, that's fine.
Okay.
I told him that yesterday.
SPEAKER_03 (11:40):
We shoot just us two in the house, like we're
chilling, whatever.
Yeah, yesterday was like thefirst time we had like eyes on
us while we're filming, like yo,y'all still watching us like it
was those eyes.
SPEAKER_01 (11:48):
Turn around.
Okay, okay.
No, I mean, uh, no stagebackground.
My first project was iCarly.
You want iCarly?
iCarly, bro.
Yeah.
I gotta go back to the couple ofthings.
The episode when her room brokedown, yeah.
It was I had one episode, oneline.
So, like, I I asked my mom tolet me go to homeschool for a
year to focus on acting, and shewas like, if you book something
in that year, you can stay out.
And so I booked iCarly.
(12:10):
It was one line, and she waslike, That's not good enough.
You booked it yourself?
Yeah, yeah.
How old were you?
Uh 15.
SPEAKER_04 (12:15):
Damn, okay.
SPEAKER_01 (12:15):
Yeah, no, 16.
16 when I did that, and then shewas like, That's not good
enough.
You gotta book something else.
And a few months later, I bookedWe the Party, which uh directed
by Mario Van Peoples, YG, SnoopDogg.
Okay, so it was just kind oflike a build-up.
Yeah, I mean, it was a it was aquick build.
I mean, I went from one line tohaving fucking 20 seniors we the
party 2010 when we shot it.
(12:36):
I know that one hurt you.
We talked about this other sidebecause he auditioned for the
main role.
SPEAKER_05 (12:39):
Listen, listen, if you were a young black actor in
2010, you went out for a Wheatof Party.
At the time, it was Where theParty at?
Yeah, right, where the party at,and and at the time too, y'all
remember like the jerkingphenomenon?
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:52):
Okay, y'all was jerk.
SPEAKER_05 (12:54):
So listen, though, it's cool if you was in your
reject, no nothing.
But um, man, and I was heavyinto that as a kid, and that was
kind of what the movie was like.
That was what it was about,yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (13:06):
Yeah, it's like it was like a this is it was a
docudrama about the jerk era,yeah.
SPEAKER_05 (13:10):
And it was like it was I was so obsessed with the
role.
I wanted it so, so bad.
And I didn't I didn't even knowyou at the time.
Yeah, no, and then I watched themovie uh 20.
SPEAKER_01 (13:22):
What when we met?
Yeah, 15, 16.
Yeah, we've been we've beenfriends for a long time.
It was 20 minutes.
2015.
Yeah, because last year it was10 years, yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
You met on set or nah through uhthe mutual friend Kofi, Ciro
Bone.
Kofi, yeah.
Yeah, so they did a movie kicksback in the day.
And then when they were doingpromo for it, I was kicking it
with Kofi.
He brought me around.
(13:42):
I met this nigga, dude.
I met this dude, and I was like,yeah, this uh this is a great
guy.
So Kobe, man.
SPEAKER_05 (13:51):
Shout out Kofi.
Shout out Kobe, shout out JayTip too, Justin Tipping, who
directed him that just came outuh last year, I think.
Yeah, that's what's up.
Let's do a little function.
SPEAKER_03 (14:00):
You guys started off fun once.
You guys started off fairlyyoung though, yeah.
Um, into the scene.
Um at that age, was there anyoneat the time like kind of
inspiring you?
Like, oh, I'm trying to be likehim, or was it just like from a
young age, that's what I'mtrying to do?
And then now, as you guys aregetting older, is it like this
is where I'm trying to go, andthis is who you know I look up
(14:22):
to in this role, or is it justlike I'm blazing my own path for
that?
SPEAKER_01 (14:26):
Um, you want to take this, or I can I feel like for
me it was a little bit of both.
Uh at the time, uh my childhoodbest friend was Rashawn Fagan,
who was on Shake It Up at thetime.
And so we was always outtogether.
He was making music, I wasdirecting his videos, I was just
involved in the industry andbeing around people like
Terrence and and shit like that.
(14:47):
And so it's like, I think at ayoung age, I was just always
around it.
And at around 15, people werejust asking me, like, oh, what
do you want to do when you growup?
What do you want to do?
And I was like, I've alwaysloved this acting thing, and I
don't have to grow up to do it.
I can do it right now.
And I think that was what it waswas everybody kind of asking me
what I want to do with my lifethat made me say this is it, and
choose to kind of spearhead thatjourney.
(15:08):
And I think now, I don't know, Imean, I'm I'm 17 years in.
I obviously have people thatinspire me artistically, like uh
Tom Hardy, one of my favoriteactors, Chris Nolan, my favorite
director.
Still want to work with JonathanMajors.
I know people have theirfeelings, but I think he's
phenomenal.
Great actor.
Um so like there's definitelypeople that I have on like a on
(15:28):
a hit list that I want to workwith or want to elevate my
talent to be able to be on thesame pedestal to be in a project
with them.
But I think now, I mean, like Isaid, I started directing this
year, so I'm in a space of justtrying to create overall.
What are you directing?
Um, romance, actually.
Uh that's that's the name of itor?
No, no, no.
Romance is just the type offilms that I want to do.
(15:50):
So right now, you got a loverboy in the building.
Yeah, I'm shooting uh I shoot myfirst short actually in a couple
weeks, June 10th and 11th.
Okay.
Um, my second short stars him.
Uh so yeah, I'm just I'm reallytrying to just find my style as
a director, the way I want totell these romance stories.
And, you know, God willing, allgoes well.
The next one I direct afterthat, submit to ABFF.
We get in and we win.
(16:12):
So then that will be your thirdone.
That fourth.
So I got three originals.
Uh like there may be about threeto five pages that I want to
drop on socials, Instagram,TikTok, YouTube.
And then that fourth one, I wantto like kind of really focus
more on story and and characterbuilding.
And that one's the one I want tosubmit.
SPEAKER_04 (16:28):
But so you're just expanding, you're doing
directing and acting.
SPEAKER_01 (16:31):
Yes.
Okay.
So acting is still gonna bealways a part of me.
I mean, that's that's what's myfirst love.
Yeah, it's but directing, I justfeel like I'm not limited by
what I look like or what I soundlike in order to tell a certain
story.
Like if there's something I wantto say, but he's a better fit
for the character, I can stillhop behind the lens and still
get that story off.
SPEAKER_05 (16:46):
And you see, that that's 17 years in the game.
Yeah, uh, people don't feel likethat.
People are like, no, I want tobe in the camera.
SPEAKER_01 (16:57):
Me, it's me, it's me.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I just I try I've trulygrown to a place where I I just
love storytelling now.
Actually, much respect.
Yeah, we hope to see you at thenext.
We will see you at the nextyear.
Yeah, 100% next year.
The 31st ABFF.
31st.
So it's the 30th.
SPEAKER_04 (17:09):
Okay.
SPEAKER_05 (17:09):
Chris, what about you?
Uh man, for me, it was it wasWill Smith as a kid.

the stuff that he said in themirror.
I'll go to school the next dayand say his jokes like they my
jokes, you know what I'm saying?
And and through that, likepeople just laughed and was
(17:32):
like, you should do this, youshould do this.
Um and my parents are veryreligious.
We went to church every Sunday,Wednesday, and in church they
were like putting on a play.
And uh my pastor was like, Yougotta, you know, you gotta be on
the play.
I feel like that's how it alwaysstarts.
SPEAKER_04 (17:46):
Yeah, so I was like either the play or the choir or
something like that.
SPEAKER_05 (17:49):
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, I was like nine, anduh my mom tells me this story.
I don't remember it, but likeapparently I got off stage after
the first show, and I walked upto my mom and I was like, I I
got it, like I know what I wantto do.
She was like, Well, I was like,I'm gonna be an actor.
She was like, Okay.
I was like, no, seriously.
I went online, I found um, youknow, brochures for like acting
(18:13):
schools, and I brought it toher, like, and she was like, Oh,
like he's serious, okay, bad.
Like, let's let's do it.
And um, you know, since then, mymy manager, who's still my
manager to this day, shout outNick Roses, just so happened to
be in one of my middle schoolplays.
Like, he came there because afamily friend of his was
performing, but that's when hewas starting his agency and saw
(18:36):
me and like walked up to meafter and was like, Where's your
parents?
I thought he was staff.
And I was like, They're overthere.
And shout out my bro, man.
And he he went up to my mom andwas like, yo, your kid's gonna
be on TV.
And my mom once again was like,Yeah, right.
Gave her the number and he didnot stop calling for like two
(18:58):
months until eventually pickedup.
He's been your manager since.
Since.
That's my brother.
Since I was uh since I was 11years old, it took him two years
for us to actually do it.
Um, but yeah, yeah, shout outNick Roses, man.
SPEAKER_01 (19:11):
So acting found you in church.
SPEAKER_05 (19:12):
Acting found me through God.
Shout out to me.
Did you know?
SPEAKER_01 (19:15):
Nah, I mean, I think I heard the story before, but I
just never really put thattogether in my mind.
Like, because the first time Ifound it, it was my both my
parents were models, so they hadagents that were trying to get
me to do it, but my mom waslike, I'm not gonna ever put him
in it unless he wants that.
I heard an audition for the LionKing musical on the radio, and I
was obsessed with The Lion Kingas a kid.
(19:38):
I mean, like, I I still amobsessed with Lions, love the
Lion King, and my mom, I think,has been.

unknown (20:19):
Okay.
SPEAKER_01 (20:19):

SPEAKER_04 (20:21):
I feel like again, like whether it's the plays in
church or like I know a lot ofpeople who make music now, or
they started off just singing inthe choir.
And uh, you know, as a kid, youdon't expect to.
Next thing you know, you justsinging.

it was like uh it was like ahobby.
You know what I'm saying?
Like we used to come to schooland like have like freestyle

SPEAKER_04 (23:25):
It says a lot about a person.
SPEAKER_01 (23:27):
It's a tie because people don't consider this an
album.
They consider it a mixtape.
But for me, it's if you'rereading this, it's too late.
And then under that, I'd saynothing was the same.
That's an album.
What was the first one you said?
If you're reading this, it's toolate.
Yeah, that was my shit.
When that shit dropped, I was inacting class.
Like not enough people, notenough people like that.
SPEAKER_04 (23:43):
Love that.
SPEAKER_01 (23:44):
And second one you said?
Um, nothing was the same.
Okay.
And then take care right underthat.
And then after that, we canshuffle.
Scorpions.
Scorpion.
Yeah.
What?
Really?
SPEAKER_05 (23:53):
I mean, bro, if you if you No, no, you don't have to
sell me.
You don't have to sell me.
I just never have to.
Yeah, that's my first time here.
Yeah, and I feel like every timeI say it, people are like, what?
But I'm like, if you look atthat track list, bangers.
It's ether, the whole point.
Bangers, both sides.
What?
Like, bro, got non-stop onthere, mob ties, can't tell a
joke, talk up.
(24:14):

In my feelings.
Ratchet, happy birthday, jaded.

What's yours?
What's yours?
SPEAKER_04 (24:31):
Top one?
Or just give me one two, yeah.
Um favorite one.
I like views, to be honest.
I like views.
When you keep the family close.
Um most people did it.
Most people didn't.
I actually like um if you'rereading this, I forget the name.
Because that was uh that year Ijust uh got to college.
(24:53):
I was like just startingcollege.
SPEAKER_01 (24:54):
So that was like running through the Andose
Secret albums that he justdropped randomly at nine o'clock
or midnight or whatever.
I remember being in class,looking at the album.
SPEAKER_05 (25:04):
I'll never forget views dropped when I lived in
Vancouver, Canada for fivemonths.
I shot one show out there calledWayward Ponds.
And I'm not even trying to flex,but like I I lived on the 24th
floor of this like penthouseplace they put me up.
And like, I don't know if youguys have ever seen Vancouver,
but it's like super futuristic.
Like it's like it has glassbuildings.
(25:26):
So like I had the views when theviews came out, like I really
thought he was like he wastalking about my life.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
SPEAKER_03 (25:32):
When you talk about his pen and like soundtrack to
your life, that was the firsttime that I really felt like
okay, he that's he's talking tome.
Which one?
SPEAKER_01 (25:39):
Take care, he dropped it, and I broke up with
my first like little high schoolgirlfriend, and I was like, This
nigga gets it.
SPEAKER_04 (25:45):
But like, because like a lot of us, take care came
out a time where I'm guessing wearound the same age.
But um I think we weren't likeold enough to fully understand
it yet.
But we were just stepping intostepping into our manhood.
And then as we look back andwe're like, damn, that was a
real professional.
SPEAKER_05 (26:04):
But as far as Iceman goes, we'll we can we can bring
this to a conclusion.
I genuinely feel like Iceman issome of his best work ever.
I actually just Iceman or allthree?
I mean all three, but I'm gonnaI'm gonna single out Iceman
because I think the other twoalbums is like if you like that,
you like that.
Like if you like the RB Drake,here you go.
If you like the outside partyDrake, here you go.
(26:24):
But Iceman, like that, likethat's that is.
I I yeah, I relate so crazy towhat he's on on that.
SPEAKER_04 (26:32):
And I think he intentionally did it like that,
where he knows Iceman is themain thing.
But here, I'm gonna give y'allone for the ladies, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
One for the little summeranthems, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it's Drake, yeah, how heis.
Yeah, but I actually I'll throwthis in.
No one likes this album.
I liked his house album.
SPEAKER_05 (26:48):
Who said who knows?
SPEAKER_04 (26:50):
A lot of people, honestly, never mind.
Loved it.
A lot of people didn't like it.
Fuck you.
A lot of people never been on ayacht.
SPEAKER_05 (26:56):
A lot of people never been on a yacht.

SPEAKER_00 (27:58):

SPEAKER_05 (28:01):
Realistically, bro, as a as a Drake fan, like I he

If Drake, if Drake was righthere, I'd be like, dang, peace

Yeah.
I think Euphoria was what reallywhat like I was like, yo, Drake,

SPEAKER_05 (28:23):
You gotta go get him.
I'm not gonna lie.
Not in the field, please.
I knew it was gonna be crazy assoon as I heard as soon as I
heard that, I was like, Oh, thisshit sounds crazy.
I was like, And you can't denyit.
Nah, that that's the same thing.
That one is sick.
I'll never say that's not mymemory.
I couldn't even add it.
I'll never concede.
(28:44):
Family Matters.

Because look, we lost thebattle, but we win the war.
SPEAKER_07 (28:54):
We is a lot of people.
SPEAKER_05 (28:55):
I'll never concede.
SPEAKER_03 (29:00):
Got my other goat on here.
Future of Travis Scott.
SPEAKER_04 (29:03):
Future.
I'm you know there's nothing totalk about.
Yeah, nothing to talk aboutthere.
What?
You know what's crazy?
The first time I heard TravisScott was on the Drake album uh
company.
SPEAKER_00 (29:13):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, really?
That was the first time youheard Travis?
First time I heard Travis Scott,you couldn't get.
SPEAKER_04 (29:18):
Then I went back and heard Days Before Rodeo on the
video.
Oh man, I was on Days BeforeRodeo like as soon as he
dropped.
I was late, but still gonnafuture.
Yeah, yeah, future.
SPEAKER_03 (29:26):
Oh, come so next one.
We got all right, so it justsays LA or or New York, but I'll
expand on it.
Let's say, like That's a toughone for me, though.
West Coast Culture, food,influence, impact, artist, the
whole nine.
Oh shit.
SPEAKER_01 (29:40):
Think wisely, man.
I know this is gonna suck.
All right, so food, y'all gonnabe mad, but food is definitely
New York.
Definitely New York.
It's just so much moremulticultural.
Like, as far as like soul food,we got that shit.
Duelens, like, come on.
SPEAKER_03 (29:52):
I'm gonna be real.
Um, LA, I was surprised by thefood out there.
It was really good.
And it is I'm I'm uh I'm biasedbecause I like burritos, I like
breakfast.
Oh, I tell that too.
New York don't do Mexican.
Yeah, if that's what you like,we got that.
Every morning I can get adifferent breakfast burrito.
So I'm gonna go there.
If you like Indian food, youlike burrito aborted.
So that's where I feel like NewYork.
New York different food.
SPEAKER_01 (30:12):
If you want the bigger variety, yeah, and that's
100% New York.
That's yeah, that's what I'msaying.
But Mexican food, hands down,us.
Um culturally, I'm still gonnabe.
I'm gonna have to say it's toughjust because I grew up in LA
culture, so I'm gonna have tosay LA, but like I appreciate
the people of New York because Ijust feel like you don't see
many LA natives in LA anymore.
They've left or they're only inthe hood.
(30:35):
And so it's like in New York,you just get more New Yorkers
that are just real, and that'swhat I appreciate.
Like people say the New Yorkersare assholes.
I just feel like they're honest.
If they fuck with you, they fuckwith you.
If they don't, they don't.
SPEAKER_05 (30:46):
Like that's that's uh the you know, the difference
between the shininess of NewYork and the shininess of LA.
Like, whereas the thetransplants in LA are so easily
impressed.
Like in New York, if you'relame, you're lame.
It doesn't matter.
You got lame everywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
It don't matter what city youin.
You got money or what you whatyou just did, it don't matter.
Like, if your energy's notright, we see that and we're not
(31:08):
we don't like you.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Facts.
SPEAKER_04 (31:10):
Facts.
It's it's funny because hereit's like kind of the same
thing, like with the flashiness,like they got they could hide it
with the money.
But because girls, girls willcome down here and you know they
just they're here for a fewdays.
SPEAKER_05 (31:25):
Shiny objects shine the craziest in my air.
Boy, they eat that up down here.
They eat that up down here.
They eat that up down here.
Ogre back.
SPEAKER_04 (31:36):
Yeah, we see some crazy shit in my mom.
Well, you want to talk about it?
Nah, nah, no, no, no.
We're gonna leave that rightthere.
SPEAKER_03 (31:43):
Beat that, man.
For the next one.
Yeah, MJ or Prince?
SPEAKER_01 (31:49):
I was about to say, why is Kobe nut on the list?
SPEAKER_03 (31:50):
Uh I'm gonna go MJ.
SPEAKER_01 (31:52):
I'm gonna go Michael Jackson.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like you gotta go MichaelJackson, but like Prince is so
under.
I feel like if you asked Tiger,he would say Prince.
SPEAKER_04 (31:59):
But it's also like it's not to take away from
Prince, neither.
Prince is Prince.
Prince is okay.
He's his own person.
SPEAKER_05 (32:05):
Yeah, I almost hate the question because it's like
for me personally.
Whereas both of them musicallyare so sound, but then Mike is
gonna dance.
And Prince Prince will play thatguitar.
SPEAKER_03 (32:20):
I think Mike took it to another another level, and he
had that longevity, yeah, and hejust did so much more, but that
doesn't take any way, anythingaway from Prince's talent.
Prince is like Princess Prince,Mike is my own.
SPEAKER_04 (32:36):
I ain't gonna lie, the or is the ores both of them
or Prince's or actually becauseyou said at the beginning, I
hate the MJ versus uh versusLeBron question.
Oh, yeah or Kobe or anything,because like no, we get it.
SPEAKER_01 (32:54):
There's really I can't stand, I'll die on this
hill.
It's Kobe all day.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05 (32:58):
Who wanna fight me?
Okay, no, that's that's real.
That's real.
But like if we're talking aboutMJ versus LeBron, like to me,
there's no debate.
Like it's it's MJ.
Like, I don't really care whatanybody says.
Like, at the end of the day,yeah, eras, oh, they played
against a bunch of plumbers.
No, bro.
Competition was yeah, right.
Competition was what it was backthen.
That's why people won games andpeople lost games.
(33:19):
Like, you could say peopleweren't talented, but the
competition level was where itwas at for a reason.
There were certain people thatexceled just like there are
certain people that excel today.
So that argument's out.
To me, why Michael Jordan isbetter than LeBron James is
because adversity.
And I know people are like, oh,but LeBron James had all the
things stacked against him.
Yeah, but look at how he actedwhen they were stacked against
(33:42):
him.
Look at the moves he made, theplaces he went, the people he
depended on.
Whereas Jordan, although theydid have a great team, had less
to depend on.
Where it was like, to me, we'retalking about basketball, if
we're talking about sports, howyou define greatness.
It's very simple.
Five seconds left on the clock,all 19,000 people in the
building know who is going totake the shot.
(34:04):
So I take this shot witheverybody knowing I'm about to
take a shot, and I make it, I'mgreat.
When it's five seconds left, Idon't know what brauit to do
with that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03 (34:14):
I just feel like it's not close.
With with I feel like it's notclose.
I feel like it's brawn and it'snot close.
Oh, you're insane.
What?
You're entertained.
I think it's brawn and it'sbrawn.
I'm gonna be real, I won't evenentertain.
That's like the first time Iheard you say that.
I won't entertain Kobe.
No, that's where it's notentertaining.
And that would be I can'tentertain Kobe.
SPEAKER_01 (34:33):
You can't entertain the conversation between Kobe
versus LeBron?
SPEAKER_03 (34:37):
Yeah, I can't, bro.
I can't entertain that.
I can't enter that.
SPEAKER_01 (34:40):
Oh, bro.
SPEAKER_05 (34:43):
Wait, talk about it.
Talking about before thefisticuffs, why?
unknown (34:48):
Like, how is that?
SPEAKER_03 (34:49):
I think I think before we get into it, yeah, we
can talk about every criteria,every metric that you want to
measure.
Objectively, LeBron is better.
Now, if we want to talk aboutart, we want to talk about Mamba
mentality, we want to talk abouttaking the last shot.
You like all that stuff, allthat stuff is all that stuff is
like how you feel.
(35:10):
That's emotion.
Like, oh, Kobe was a dog.
Kobe was a dog.
Yeah, facts.
But in every measurable metric,LeBron is and was better.
And see, this is my even even ifyou want to go to fourth quarter
clutchness, fourth quartershots, game winning shots, he he
like like objectively, he wasbetter.
Like this is on the internet.
SPEAKER_05 (35:29):
But see, but this thing, this is this is where I
get into our because obviously,you know, I go to the barbershop
once every two weeks.
And and this before youcontinue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (35:41):
When it happened with that belly, we should have
got that belly.
Before you continue, I feel likethe barbershop is the worst
place to have this conversation.
SPEAKER_05 (35:49):
Oh no, it can get bad.
My barbershop, um, before weswitch places, my barbershop
actually has two sets of boxing.
You got a box.
Yeah, no, you got a box.
No, swear to God, we're atbrother.
I swear I have been getting myhaircut and I've watched dozens
of people.
You got a box.
Because I've been going to thesame barbershop since I was 15.
(36:09):
I've watched dozens.
Yeah, yeah.
Unboxing about brown.
Box.
Yeah, yeah.
You boxing about brown?
Unboxing about Kobe.
Okay, like it is.
But continue, continue.
But like, I just feel likethat's there's a difference.
I think, and and that's fine.
There's a difference betweenpeople who, you know, uh read
the stats and they measurestuff, and there's a difference
between people who do that andwatch 48 minutes of regulation.
SPEAKER_03 (36:30):
I I I'm 27.
SPEAKER_05 (36:32):
Okay.
I watched it.
You missed a couple Kobe games,and that's why.
Because I get it.
SPEAKER_03 (36:37):
Whoa.
Whoa.
It's okay.
I get why you don't understand.
We're talking about the sameKobe that shared the MVP.
Kobe Bean Bryant, yes.
We're talking about the same onethat shared the MVP because
Braun has been the best playerin the league for the past 20
years.
Yeah, yeah.
By by far.
This is my first time hearingthe game.
So there's no there's no sharingan MVP with any of Braun's team.
SPEAKER_05 (36:57):
Here's what I'm gonna say is for me, it's it's
it's never about the numbers forme.
And I understand the numbers areimpressive, bro.
LeBron James is is not no slouchat all.
He is a GOAT in his own right.
I'm not about to discredit him.
But like for me, it's the eyetest.
I watch the game, I love thegame.
I play, I hoop my whole life.
You know what I'm saying?
So when I watch those two peopleplay, like there's something
(37:19):
different that happens when Iwatch Kobe.
SPEAKER_03 (37:21):
I can respect it.
Well, are you are you?
I can respect my thing is this.
SPEAKER_05 (37:24):
MJ was your one.
SPEAKER_03 (37:25):
Yeah, MJ.
Are you going to MJ Kobe Braun?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Okay, I can respect it.
If you tell me that it's eyetest, this is how you feel.
I'm not gonna change your eyetest.
SPEAKER_05 (37:33):
But the matter is, LeBron James' number is shit on
it.
I mean, yeah.
But my thing is everybody else.
SPEAKER_01 (37:39):
That's like saying Bam is a better player just
because he just got the rightthing.
SPEAKER_00 (37:47):
Technically, he's like you don't have a number.
SPEAKER_03 (37:50):
If you tell me if you tell if you tell me, if you
tell me Kobe's a more clutchplayer than LeBron, that's not
an eye test thing.
That's uh, okay, there's numbersthat back up clutch moments, and
objectively, one is better thanthe other.
Okay, so if you but if you butif you tell me that it's just
eye tests, this is how you feel,Kobe gives you a different feel.
I can't change your mind.
(38:10):
Yeah, yeah, no, you I get that.
But what I can't hear is, oh,Kobe's better than the fourth.
No, he's not.
Like he's that but you're wrongon it.
SPEAKER_05 (38:16):
But say this is this is the thing.
Here, like you're gonna talkabout it.
You gotta go Google Sit now.
I'm like, but like at the end ofthe day, we can talk about
fourth quarters, but not everyfourth quarter matters more than
other four quarters.
We can talk about regular seasonfour quarters all you want, but
if we talk about playoffperformances, it's not close,
bro.
We can go look at that.
SPEAKER_03 (38:33):
Playoff performances.
Yeah, playoff performances.
We're talking about three downthree-one.
You want to talk about clutch?
Down three-one to the greatestteam ever.
Yeah, yeah, no.
Down three-one to the greatestteam member.
SPEAKER_05 (38:41):
You know what?
That is the year LeBron Jamesfully gained my respect.
I was like, I can't say nothing.
SPEAKER_03 (38:47):
The 51-point game in game one, he kicks to his
teammate and he fucking doesn'tknow what to do with the ball.
But wide open.
But that's the that's what yousaid though.
SPEAKER_05 (38:55):
That's my whole thing.
SPEAKER_03 (38:57):
But to Kobe, but you're but you're a whooping.
SPEAKER_01 (39:01):
Kobe was so selfish selfish with the ball, he would
never let that hit.
SPEAKER_03 (39:04):
But what doesn't get mentioned is when Shaq was
sharing an MVP with him, whenRobbie Ory hits a shot, a
three-point shot in the finalsto save Kobe, when Ron Artest
hits a three-point shot to saveKobe, that doesn't get talked
about.
Ron wouldn't take that shot.
But he all knows.
He's not even supposed to takethat shot.
He took that shot.
That's what happened.
So that doesn't get talked aboutthough.
No, it doesn't matter.
(39:24):
As a hooper, though, LeBron getsshit on because he doesn't take
a lot of shots in the fourth, orhe doesn't hoist up a bad shot.
He's gonna make the right play.
If George Hill makes a freethrow in that game, in that game
one, the the ball doesn't getkicked out.
JR's not even in that situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As a hooper, you're kicking tothe wide open player.
You expect my sharpshooter, mytwo guard to make the shot.
SPEAKER_05 (39:45):
And I understand.
And those are two differentbrands of basketball where I can
I can tell by watching LeBronJames play, he genuinely gets a
better kick out of passing theball than scoring.
I can tell he's that type ofplayer.
I think he's a player right now.
I think he's the type of guy.
I know for a fact that boy Kobewants to see that shit go
through the thousands.
Kobe likes every thousand.
Can everybody be clear, please?
(40:05):
And and you know, it's at theend of the day, it's just it's
what brand of basketball youlike more.
I personally am into Kobe, uhMichael.
And, you know, honestly, bro,LeBron James is third, and this
is a hot take, but I'm I'mputting Steph Curry at my four,
and I don't care what nobody'sdoing.
Not mad at it.
That's valid.
Not mad at it.
I'm putting Steph Curry at myfour, and that's valid.
SPEAKER_03 (40:24):
You want to talk about impact?
Not mad at it.
Okay.
Yeah, the greatest impact we'veseen.
Change the whole entire getMagic and Larry out of the top
five first.
Make room for Steph.
SPEAKER_04 (40:34):
Make room for Steph.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is something people don'tunderstand about acting?
SPEAKER_05 (40:40):
Man, um it it does a lot of uh wear and tear on the
soul for it.
Sorry, that was a natural.
The boy does it.
It's true, you know what I'msaying?
How the soul.
The soul, I mean, at the end ofthe day, like you come to, you
know, I'll like, you know, makeuh I'll make an analogy.
(41:01):
It's like a girl that you love,and like this girl consistently
just like says no to you, likeover and over and over again,
and you don't stop loving her,like you can't stop loving her.
And then like that one yes outof the a hundred, you know, it's
it's a toxic relationship verytoxic, but you that one yes,
that's the last you've beenwaiting for.
SPEAKER_01 (41:24):
And I'll take a hundred more fucking no's just
for her to say yes one more timeto me.
SPEAKER_04 (41:29):
Don Damaco, yes, is how much can you handle that no?
SPEAKER_05 (41:33):
And I think that's a testament to life and and God.
I think that's how we're tested.
I genuinely feel like it's abouthow much you can endure and
still remain sane and a goodperson with a good heart.
And I think that's like how youknow.
SPEAKER_01 (41:49):
I think that's where everything, too, because people
are quick to quit.
He's not talking about it, andso I'm gonna say it for him.
This exact question, he has atheory for, a saying for, and
it's the long walk home.
And it's I think I think that'sthe thing is every actor faces
that long walk home.
There's gonna be a project thatyou super want, you feel like
(42:10):
you're so aligned for, the tapewas great, the callback was
great, the test was great.
They act, they said they lovedyou in the room, it's yours.
And then after four days, threeweeks of being on hold, they say
no, and you don't have itanymore.
And everything is gone.
You've signed your contract, youknew how much money you were
gonna make.
SPEAKER_05 (42:26):
That's the crazy part.
I don't know if y'all know that.
This is a good idea.
You might not know about acting.
Um, there's things called testdeals, right?
So you go to the audition, thenyou get a callback, then you go
to a producer/slash test deal,where this is where you go, and
before you even go in the room,you have negotiated numbers.
You've negotiated, you sign yourcontract before you go in the
(42:47):
room to audition.
So therefore, after you book it,you can't like negotiate for
more or whatever.
SPEAKER_04 (42:54):
So they could throw, let's just throw a large X
amount of numbers.
SPEAKER_01 (42:57):
Oh no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you numbers I've seen.
50,000 on a contract.
SPEAKER_05 (43:01):
Yeah, yeah, 50,000.
And then you're going into theroom knowing I've signed a
contract, you know this beforeCOVID for 1.2 million dollars
over the whole season.
Like you go in there knowing Ido this the right way, I come
out with 1.2 million dollars.
SPEAKER_04 (43:14):
Damn.
So on the opposite end that'sdraining because if you get that
no, you know, I just lost 1.2million dollars.
But what's the reason they do itbeforehand?
Oh, that you can't renegotiatefor more.
SPEAKER_05 (43:25):
Because once you know, you know, it's like more
money.
SPEAKER_04 (43:29):
Now, does it make a difference where, like, all
right, you sign 1.2 mil?
Like, are you more fueled andmotivated to put on that back?
SPEAKER_05 (43:36):
You're more fueled, you're more motivated, you're
more nervous.
You're more nervous, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (43:40):
And you know, once you lose 1.2 million dollars.
Tell your family.
SPEAKER_05 (43:44):
And I don't know about y'all, you know, I'm
Haitian, you know.
I tell my mom something, thewhole family knows that's why we
Caribbean too.
So yeah, so it's like, you know,the whole fam, like you know
what I'm saying?
That little cousin thing abouther graduation gift.
I don't think about a startupface business.
And it's like you got all thisall this thing riding on you.
(44:04):
And then, you know, you you getsaid, no, what he just said um
about the long walk home, Ibriefly say it's like I I went
out for this audition that I wasso into, and you know, I I I
didn't get it.
I went to a bar like bang likefour or five IPAs.
You know what I'm saying?
I was just like, it is what itis, yeah.
Yeah, and and and I couldn'tdrive.
(44:27):
And my house was like four milesaway, and I was like, you know
what?
Walk.
And it took a long walk home andI cried and and I remember like
seeing this homeless dude.
And this is gonna sound likethis guy's crazy, but like I I
started laughing really hardbecause I thought to myself in
my mind, I was like, what ifthis is how homeless people are
(44:49):
created?
Like, what if I just never madeit home?
Just never just stay with him.
What if I just kicked him in theroom?
SPEAKER_01 (44:57):
Because of that one audition.
SPEAKER_04 (44:58):
Like your intro to homelessness?
SPEAKER_05 (45:00):
Right, yeah.
But I was like, what if everyhomeless person in LA was just
an actor that took the long walkhome, didn't make it home.
But it's like it all startshere.
SPEAKER_01 (45:08):
Like you gotta make it home from those from those
nose.
You gotta pick yourself back up,you gotta walk back into that
door.
That's the point.
And I mean, like to what youwere saying earlier about like
people starting out, maybe theyask outside.
Anyways, um, make sure you wantto do this for the right reasons
because this shit will breakyou.
Yeah, it will test you, it willtest you to see, like Lofton
says, it will either it willdrive you crazy and see if
(45:30):
you're crazy driven, and youhave to be both.
Like you have to have some alittle bit of insanity to
continue with this, but be in itfor the right reasons.
Don't think there's a shortcut.
Don't think like, oh, I'm gonnamove to LA and get a show in a
year.
SPEAKER_00 (45:41):
And it could happen.
SPEAKER_01 (45:42):
It could happen.
I'm not saying both.
SPEAKER_05 (45:43):
Put no energy on anybody.
SPEAKER_01 (45:45):
But do it for the right reasons.
Do it for the longevity, not forsome sort of time frame that you
feel like if I want to make abiodactive for two years, then
I'm gonna go sell crypto.
Like, if this is what you wantto do.
I was just about to say so.
It's an option.
It is an option.
I don't recommend you.
Don't do that.
Crypto's a lot safer.
SPEAKER_04 (46:03):
Uh well, we'll end on this.
What are your reasons for doingit?
SPEAKER_01 (46:07):
Um, I think they've changed over time, but uh, the
one that's maintained consistentis I truly do feel like I have a
calling on my life to entertainthe world.
Like, I love people.
People annoy the fuck out of mesometimes.
Get away from me.
But like, I truly feel like Ihave a job to entertain people,
to make them feel somethingthrough stories.
Um and before, like, you know,with acting, you can truly make
(46:30):
people feel a full gamut ofemotions, sadness, happiness,
joy, anything.
And so it's like, I want to beable to make people smile, and
then with my dramatic work,still be able to hold up a
mirror to them and hopefullyhelp them heal through some sort
of trauma that they're going to,or at least start the process,
the conversation, just lookingat themselves and saying, like,
there's a way forward.
Because I think entertainmentand art, film especially, can be
(46:51):
uh very informative.
I feel like you can pack a lotof information and lessons into
this form of entertainment.
SPEAKER_04 (46:57):
That's the reason we watch movies and TV.
SPEAKER_01 (46:59):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_05 (47:00):
For me, I mean, you know, you grow up and you get
told Christopher Columbus foundAmerica, and then you and then
you grow up and you realize likethat wasn't what happened.
And it's like there's this weirdthing with history and religion
where it's like we don't knowwhat's real.
Whereas you get to a point inyour life and you start to make
(47:22):
what's real for you.
And I think that's what is youknow, religion or spirit
spirituality.
Um, all that to say that I thinkthat film is a part of our
history, you know.
Like I think that's us makinghistory and giving people the
chance to make whatever theyfeel from watching and and make
that into a reality.
(47:43):
And I just think that there's alot of people that wake up every
day and don't do what they wantto do.
You know, people wake up andthen go to nine of the someone's
life, right?
Yeah, and I I think that that'sthe quickest way to die.
You know what I'm saying?
And if if you can come home andwatch my TV show for an hour and
feel something and laugh andsmile and create your own
reality through that or go tothe movies, then I did I did my
(48:05):
part.
You know what I'm saying?
Love that.
SPEAKER_04 (48:07):
Love that.
Honestly, that's the same thingwe feel with this podcast.
