Speaker 1 (00:00):
They get a little called me.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Broadcaster line from Atlanta, Georgia. Welcome to the ball Alert Show.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I go by the name of Ferrari Simmons. I go
by the name you know, BT Man Special Guests.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Of the Building, Breadtjo, look at really real smooth.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I want to chest out comedy to her.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
This is what it is. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
How you doing, sir?
Speaker 6 (00:28):
I'm amazing right now. You know, I'm loving life. I'm excited.
You know, just been on tour. I just shot my
uh my set up comedy film. Got my show Family
Business New Orleans coming out in December, and you know,
the Super Bowls in New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
So God is moving. I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Yeah, you're out here working man. Now, I saw you
shawing me off, you know off camera. Yeah, you know
your your your special that that you're putting together. Man,
it looks really good, looks really dope, and it looks
like you put a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Into it, you know for sure, you know, I know
it's like this, And I was I was telling I
was just telling BT. I was like, look like a
lot of us complain about the problem and it's like
the solutions to everything. When I was watching the problem
being the problem being. For example, the Shashay interview, right
when Cat Williams was like, you know, talking about you know,
Brandony Jackson, he wore dress. You know, he's an Illuminati there.
(01:20):
I'm like, listen, Cats, I'm not in Illuminati at all,
but my agent is.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Get me rolled so good. I'm like, do I got
to suck a think for this?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
He was like, Nope, we already did that for you.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Call Times at eight. No.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But I say that because I have to joke about
a lot of the trauma, because that's where we get
our jokes from, you know what I mean When it
comes down to people asking me, you know where I've been,
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And where have you been working? You know, you know
I've been working. To let me tell you why I
took a break in the first place.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I was taking a break to help build the black
community and all other communities and making sure that we
can actually have our own sustainable situations. Like it was
real and it's still real to this day. But I
know how to do it with wisdom. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I was, I was really.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Seven years That's what the whole the whole comedy special
is about seven years where I was at, you know,
it's it's it's some comedy and some drama there where
some stuff went little little left. Ever see that Martin
episode where he actually joined that cult and everything. So
it's kind of like some comedy with that exaggerated truth,
but at the same time it went into a place
(02:32):
where trying to I came up with solutions and I
would say God, I would say, God showed me solutions.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I wouldn't give me.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
For for our for our we would say galvanizing ourselves together.
And in that when I brought forth solutions to the
to I would say a group of people, it was
received not you see what I'm saying, And it was
everybody wanted to be the one with the solution or
we want to focus on the problem.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's why I was showing you.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
People keep saying that Hollywood's doing this, Hollywood's doing that,
as black Man is and that, but then cat all
of them make more money. To me, why haven't you
shot your films? Mm hmmm, one show can fund one
Kat Williams show can fund ten two B movies. You
know what I'm saying, And I'm not talking and people
(03:23):
they they kind of they kind of knocked to be
movies sometimes because you don't get some good movies ectly exactly.
And I'm from Detroit. We started the whole to be
we You might not get Dizel Washington. Don't getting to
Zel Washington, you know what i mean. You know what
I mean, you might get trained tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But it'd be good. You know what I'm saying. Then's
there Washington be like, uh, don's that?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Washington be like okay, okay, then's there Washington be like yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
So in that in that case, it's like I found
I found a solution in film for me first, and
that when I was doing things economically, you know, they
everybody wanted the problem. So I said, you know what,
I'm just gonna do what what I know to do
(04:06):
and find that solution at least in film first. You
see what I'm saying, Because it's not it's it's it's
all about how you produce, you know, you know, you
know what I mean. Films are affordable now with technology
correct now.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Just to kind of reset the room a little bit
a little bit, And I like how you did say,
are you from Detroit?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Growing up. How was that for you?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I grew up in the hood and the suburbs.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
So I grew up in the suburbs and the sober
grew up in seven the first suburb.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Second, what was back and forth?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, so seven miles worldwards to West Bloomfield.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So who was who was so white?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
They put my picture in every grade in the yearbook
so the school can look diverse.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So who was in the hood? Who was in the suburbs?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Uh? So the hood was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Who was in the Was mom in the hood?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Dad in the suburbs?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
My parents? My parents are still together.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
That's what's up, you know what I mean. I come
from like a family. My dad's a pastor, you know
what I mean. And and and you know, uh, they've
been together for forty some years, nine kids, So yeah,
we have a traditional family. And I was And sometimes
you get hated on for that, you know, just having
my man and daddy in the house, you know what
I mean. It's it's it's it's it's crazy the mentality
(05:15):
sometimes of like of people. But when I was coming up,
you know, it was like my dad always made sure,
you know what I mean, that we put God first.
And we knew that we can do anything, you know
what I mean, that we could put And that's just
how I was taught, you know it was it was
never just like I told my dad. I said, look,
he said, you're gonna be either the youth pastor, which
(05:36):
I didn't want to be because I was. I was
a horror back then. I don't want to be the
youth pastor, or you're gonna go to Hollywood. I said, Dad,
if I don't make it in six months, right, how.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Were you when you said this to him?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Eighteen?
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Some way? Your dad gave you the ultimate?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I gave him ultimate. Oh god, I bet, I bet
on myself. I said.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I said, if I don't make it within six months,
I'll come back and work for the church.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
And what was your first I gotta make it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I gotta what was your first big break?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
So I went to the Lave Factory when I was
eighteen and I did chocolate Sundays Pooky Wigginton and also
uh uh, Chris Spencer.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
They put me on stage.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Now Pokey Wigan and he's the one that manages Kevin
Hart and you know him. He's on the Kapvin Hart's team.
He ran he runs a thing called Chocolate Sundays. So
I did three minutes, ripped it, got an agent at
C A A and they My first audition was fat
Albert didn't get that. Second one, uh was roll bounds
(06:38):
you got I got got them. Yeah, And I was like,
that's six months.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now, correct me if I'm wrong to be to you too,
because you've been on television. Getting paid is different acting
and being on films, because you don't just get paid
every two weeks like a normal person that has a.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Nine to five.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
No, no, you don't.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
You get paid kind of like the NFL not be
trying to tell my team when they invoice, when the
invoice and they we get paid kind of like if
you know any corporate structures, it's called and I do
a drug about this net thirties and everything like or
sometimes and it depends on how what your contract is.
But people say you get a big lump sum of
money up, No, it doesn't work like that. You got
to finish the film then you know you get then
(07:22):
you got to get paid weekly something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
But it's not finish the film.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
To get in some contracts, you gotta finish the film
and then you get you get the rest of your money.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's not this, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's it's drawn not as lucrative as people say, oh
yeah you just got five million for that film, but
even if you did, you getting.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It spaced out.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Yeah you're not getting you got the contract, but that
and not be trying to explain that to people. It's like,
did you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Have a root awakening with that?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because I'm kind of trying to lead to what how
did you learn to manage your money because that could
get a little difficult, especially.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
When you were young, And no, we didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And the funny thing is, and my dad gets madden
me for this, Like my.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Dad because he was he was, he was, he was,
he was drug dealer turned pastor.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Okay, so you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
So my dad in the seventies, I guess the baby
boomers and they get mad when you say this, They
really didn't teach us how to manage money like that.
They taught us how to pray, pray, ask God, you
know what I mean, keep your head up, chests out.
You know, that's where I got that from because my
dad would give me like seventies sayings, you know, son,
the game is chess.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Not check us, you know what I mean? You playing
connect for I'm like, dad, how do you manage money?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
That's not a real a real solution, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And I think they just didn't know if they was born.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
And you know in that generation with the baby boomers
where their parents just said just trust God and uh
and you'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Now it's like, okay, where's the math.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You can't figure it out.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I need an accounting right now because it's money coming
in exactly. So I was I had to. I had
to figure it out where I was like, okay, and
study how to uh understand that castle.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You had to figure it out? Yeah, okay, well yeah we.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
All yeah, yeah, we all yeah, still figuring out. I
think everyone's I think the whole country figured it out
right now how to manage money.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And it's here right right. But yeah, yeah, So I.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Think that our parents really gave us a a good
foundation im morality, but not practicality.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
If I said that, practicality, yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And you know, like we we pray over over food
that's that gives us high cholesterol?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You know, God bless this pork.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I mean, should I be eating this right now. It's
like it's not even a religious thing. It's like, you know,
let's bless Heroin too. It's like, you know what I mean,
Like it just doesn't make sense. I like, I like,
I like practical data. Now I've already done the emotional thing,
you know what I mean, the baby mama and this,
and that, I've done the emotional thing.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I'm not practicality in this season in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Yeah, it sounds like that that you've just done with
the bullshit. I'm done with it, and I'm done with
us complaining about something we can change.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I'm so over that.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I can't stand that we he ain't no, stop stop.
We can change anything we put our mind to. And
that's how how I was taught. You know, but my parents,
Now what change? What changed about you? In in Hollywood?
I want to say, no, chances I evolved into a man.
I mean, I can't be running around with bowwow and.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Grow up yeah through it.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, I grew up.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, I grew up on that spiritual journey trying to
you know, work and and and really like working on
farms and you know, when you really start touching the
earth and you realize what's what's the what's what's the value?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Like men back in the East Eastern cultures didn't get
married today was forty because they had they they had
to get their stuff together. You know Eve, oh you
said us. Eve didn't come to Adam had his garden.
That's what I always tell men. When he was he
was like, it's not good for man to be alone
after he had all his stuff together, right and not?
And if you just believe it as a story, just
(10:57):
think of it from a place of if you don't
have your garden together. And I think we were so
in the Western culture was so quick to be like,
you know, I can go do my own thing instead
of serving and understanding how to your manhood First, Let's
go seats, let's go move these uh uh uh. And
(11:17):
it sounds ridiculous, but this is why some people understand,
let's go get the lambs, let's go move this, the horses,
let's go let's go work with the earth, you know
what I mean. A lot of people don't like, you know,
that's where it's at first, because you really don't need money,
you don't you need.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Just the work. The earth yields food. If you really
if It really came.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Down to how do you when you were realizing this?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
I don't know, man, I've always kind of asked questions, uh,
but realizing, I mean, how old.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I can tell you the season in my life when
you evolved into this.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Just growth? I mean, is how do I explain it?
How old was that?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Some people have moments?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So I stepped away around twenty.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Sixteen when you stepped away from the movie.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Scene from the movie scene, I did one ind that's
gonna actually come out in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
That's with me and Jez. It's called Trap City. I
did that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
We didn't come out yet.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Nah, don't even please don't, okay, don't it's coming out.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You're gonna see it. But it's it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That was the movie.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
That was my first time producing the film, and I'm
happy that everything that could go wrong went wrong in
that film from even now, like from the Jez's divorces
and we got you know, the thing is going on
over there, We got you know, we got we like,
we gotta promote Jez. Don't mention my name, No, you,
we're gonna mention your name. We gotta sell the movie.
(12:44):
We're gonna mention your name. You want to cover.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, but you shot this in twenty eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I know it's it's I don't know how much has
happened since I don't own the film anymore. My partner
Telga Nation, shout out to him. He owns the film,
and you know he can release it the way he feels.
It's just everything that could have went wrong on that set,
from food poison. It mean, it was horrible. It was horrible,
but I love it because I learned everything. It was
like I was going. I was through that time of
(13:12):
that seven year journey. I was literally going and becoming
a man, learning mistakes.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
So now I know what not to do.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying.
I do.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Got a question for you.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What was your favorite film to shoot right now?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
My favorite it's not out yet. My favorite series, favorite
piece right now is Family Business, New Orleans. I think
I think I finally got a piece that shows what
who who I need, who I need to be on film?
You know what I mean, just with the action and
the and it's actually a drama, which is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Uh It's it's it's just dope.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
I could tell you excited about it.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
So because I mean, I'm driving a lambo, I own
a casino, like yeah, y'all, see y'all, y'all.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
And it's so weird because like if you look at
somebody's baby picture and he's, oh, you were so cute
as a baby. You know, That's how I feel sometimes
when people look at me, they're seeing my baby picture.
And then so now I have an updated photo, Like
you feel like.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
People judge you based on your past.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
And it's like it's not a problem, but it's like
it's like Julia Roberts and and I always say her
and Brad pick because the way we look at actors
and other nationalities, Brad Pitten Interview of the Vampire. You're
not gonna be like, yo, what's up with the Interview
of the Vampire. You be like, no Ocean is eleven.
You're gonna go back to what he's did, I bullet train,
(14:43):
you know, And of course to his discretion is that
he put out a movie every two years.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
So it's like, you know, I took that break.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
So I'm happy that y'all gonna see me playing a lawyer,
me playing a casino owner, me playing a cop.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You know. Cool?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Cool, Uh, uh, grown man roles where I can you know,
have have my own thing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Are you does it? Sometimes?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know you that people may correlate how you how
great you did as an actor in a movie, and
think that's who you really are.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Hmm. Yeah, it's kind of like you did such a
great job in those movies that you were part of.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
People Child, the Tyler Perry movie that kicked the girl out.
They hate him.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
They hate him forever.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
No, it's not forever. What's the movie. What's the movie?
What's the movie? It's the movie? I forget his name.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
What's the movie?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
The guy who kicked.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
They hate him?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
What I said?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They don't like him to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But he was acting.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I know. It's well, I listen.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
If I think they're gonna love Marquise Duncan and and
that's that's that's a problem. And I'm not trying to
be I've been trying to tell I'm not Marquis.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I would love.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm not saying God is not gonna bless me with
my own private jet one day or and and and
but if you were gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Fly either Spirit or Delta. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
If you, if you look one is a bad I
mean spirit tickets like Philly dollars, but your bag checked
me like three hundred, so you go.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Now, I gotta talk about your boy bow wow. I
always felt that he was a great actor, and I
felt like he should should have stayed there and only
did that because I've seen him act in movies and
you've acted.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
How many movies we bout?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I think too too.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I wanted your opinion, do you did you agree with that?
Because I felt like he was a better actor.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I don't put limits on people, but I know what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Like he was so talented.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
People say this.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
About me, and it's annoying. They never seen my comedy,
right okay, and they say when they see it, they go, wow,
this was brilliant. How'd you I've been doing it for
so long? But they say, hey, but these you're an actor,
you know. And then when they see it go, oh,
that's how that's why they shoot it like a film.
You see, I have to do like Eddie Murphy raw,
you know what I mean? I do it in that way?
(17:11):
Was well because but I've been doing comedy for thirty
twenty five years, but y'all just didn't se it because
all my stuff got lost on MySpace. That's how long
I've been doing it, you know what I mean. And
I didn't go I wasn't internet deal with all the
Internet sketches.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I was already so you weren't. You didn't partake in
the interneting.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was always in film.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I was just about to say, I think it was
because I'm a film guy. He was.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I feel like you could have at least gave us
some we won social media.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's what we're doing. That's why I'm here now.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Look, this is the conversations that we was having off camera,
because he was talking about like he when he was like,
this is my first time on the show. And then
when I showed him some of the clips, He's like, oh,
I've seen this, but he said, I'm so far removed.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I'm right now, he said, That's why I'm here now. Yeah,
I'm writing the film right. I'm writing two movies right
now out of eating in transit. Right, I'm I write film.
I gotta shut everything off. I gotta write a hundred pages,
and I gotta read all these other auditions against Damns
and Adres and all these other dudes.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
It's like, you know, it's it's it's it's it's a
it's a lot bro as you you being an actor,
you gotta sit down and read.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I'm like, I got that, and someone about you gotta
realize that's another thing. By while, I feel like I
was trying to get the rights to Lottery Ticket to
prior to the director how to do it Warner Brothers.
I think they said no, by the way, but I
(18:39):
don't know. So the director Eric White called we met
about another movie which I can't tell you about, and
I thought it was a great idea and everything. But
then it becomes if you put me in Bao in
the film, which the movie is actually really funny, the idea,
why are we not executing this? And this is why
this why be getting mad? I just executed this. I
(19:00):
shot this and one day I.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Delivered it to the studios.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
With post says and someone who's watching, what is this?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
This is my my comedy special chest out right just
cause you know, so delivering delivering this this this product
right was less than a month of and when you
talk about post production, that's what I'm saying. I gotta
go to a post house. I got coloring to do.
My mind is like I'm like a Tyler Perry. And
(19:30):
when I say that, we have to gigabytes terror bytes
and you know what I'm saying, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Social media isn't really on your mind? You're thinking way
above well.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
When I say country ain't doing movies, it's like I
love it, but it's like, wait a minute, while am
I going off movies to go do sketches. It's annoying,
Like I can't stop films to go do sketches, but
I know I need to do sketches.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
See what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Trust me, it's a headache every day with my team.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But I still think you should only because it's some
low hanging fruit, So you should.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So Facebook can just be telling me how to be
a robot.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It just know, it just keeps you in the algorithm. Brother,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
We just want to.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Really keeps it talented, Netflix correct.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Correct, But there's there's multiple algorithms. If we can be honest,
I'm with you. It's just I would rather I will
I would like to see you on my timeline as
much as possible because you're a talented person. That's our
talented He is an Italian mobster.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You want to people to see you, give me twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Give me forty.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Okay, maybe I'll give you like fifteen people. I want
to play that video game.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But he but he from a different era because I'm
a classic.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Like when I went to Ferrari, right, I was like,
I see what Ferrari's doing.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Right, I get it.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
They're exclusive, there's no commercials. You don't see you don't
see commercials. I'm like, maybe I said to name myself that.
Come on, you know what I'm saying, self advertisedment.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Come on.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
And the funny thing is is I would sending Ferrari
to Ferrari store the other day and.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
It was just I was like, okay, and I know
God sent me in there.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I know it sounds, you know, kind of you know, random, but.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
It's like.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
You're a Ferrari, you know. I'm like, okay, okay, God,
you can't be everywhere. Kendrick is a Ferrari, you know.
It's like, I think humility has become my strength over
being arrogant because the more I the more I step away,
the more I try.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
To go, go go go. It's just God always.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Like I'm I'm kind of an exclusive situation, and I
really don't want to be, but I'm realizing that. You
know what I mean, You're going to see a branded
Jackson project when God wants you to see a brain
like it's the same, you know, like, do you understand that?
And I was talking to my audience about this yesterday
(22:01):
Drake did, Yeah, I want you to do this math.
Drake did a song called Big as a super Bowl
where he was at the super Bowl. In the music
video performing right, he said it was a big three
(22:22):
what's his name?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Right? Big three?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It was him, J Cole and Kendrick.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
And Kendrick said no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Ain't no big three. It's just big me right, And
now he's performing at the super.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Bowl to a distrut to Drake, that's ridiculous. How can
you know, bro, that's that's cosmic. That's cosmic.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
There's no way. And listen, I'm I was in and
out like us video, you know what I mean? Yes,
I got two. I was going the wrong way to
hope when he said step this way, I was going
the other way.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
I look say, Drake followed you to them.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, no, listen, listen, no, no, I love I love humans.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I don't. I don't, you know.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
But when we talking about a sporting event like Drake
on a personal level, Kendrick on a personal level, always
gonna be my brothers. But when you're talking about I've
never seen something look like Moses and Pharaoh in the mile.
It was like he sucked all the pride out of
Drake and say, be humble, sit down.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
That's bro, that's that's different.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And that's why I always I say keep my head
up in my chest out because that's more of a
keep your head up. That's a positive message. This ain't
nothing saying I'm arrogant better than anybody. I just know
that when when when when the universe what you want
to call it, God, when he's before you, ain't no
man could be against you.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It's nothing you can do. Trust me.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I tried it, ended up with goats and lambs and
try to do my own thing.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I ended up on farms in Arizona.
Speaker 6 (23:52):

Of the Building, Breadtjo, look at really real smooth.

How you doing, sir?
Speaker 6 (00:28):
I'm amazing right now. You know, I'm loving life. I'm excited.
You know, just been on tour. I just shot my

Business New Orleans coming out in December, and you know,
the Super Bowls in New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
So God is moving. I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Yeah, you're out here working man. Now, I saw you
shawing me off, you know off camera. Yeah, you know
your your your special that that you're putting together. Man,
it looks really good, looks really dope, and it looks
like you put a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Into it, you know for sure, you know, I know
it's like this, And I was I was telling I
was just telling BT. I was like, look like a
lot of us complain about the problem and it's like
the solutions to everything. When I was watching the problem
being the problem being. For example, the Shashay interview, right
when Cat Williams was like, you know, talking about you know,
Brandony Jackson, he wore dress. You know, he's an Illuminati there.
(01:20):
I'm like, listen, Cats, I'm not in Illuminati at all,
but my agent is.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Get me rolled so good. I'm like, do I got
to suck a think for this?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
He was like, Nope, we already did that for you.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Call Times at eight. No.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But I say that because I have to joke about
a lot of the trauma, because that's where we get
our jokes from, you know what I mean When it
comes down to people asking me, you know where I've been,
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
And where have you been working? You know, you know
I've been working. To let me tell you why I
took a break in the first place.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I was taking a break to help build the black
community and all other communities and making sure that we
can actually have our own sustainable situations. Like it was
real and it's still real to this day. But I
know how to do it with wisdom. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I was, I was really.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Seven years That's what the whole the whole comedy special
is about seven years where I was at, you know,
it's it's it's some comedy and some drama there where
some stuff went little little left. Ever see that Martin
episode where he actually joined that cult and everything. So
it's kind of like some comedy with that exaggerated truth,
but at the same time it went into a place
(02:32):
where trying to I came up with solutions and I
would say God, I would say, God showed me solutions.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I wouldn't give me.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
For for our for our we would say galvanizing ourselves together.
And in that when I brought forth solutions to the
to I would say a group of people, it was
received not you see what I'm saying, And it was
everybody wanted to be the one with the solution or
we want to focus on the problem.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's why I was showing you.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
People keep saying that Hollywood's doing this, Hollywood's doing that,
as black Man is and that, but then cat all
of them make more money. To me, why haven't you
shot your films? Mm hmmm, one show can fund one
Kat Williams show can fund ten two B movies. You
know what I'm saying, And I'm not talking and people
(03:23):
they they kind of they kind of knocked to be
movies sometimes because you don't get some good movies ectly exactly.
And I'm from Detroit. We started the whole to be
we You might not get Dizel Washington. Don't getting to
Zel Washington, you know what i mean. You know what
I mean, you might get trained tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But it'd be good. You know what I'm saying. Then's
there Washington be like, uh, don's that?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Washington be like okay, okay, then's there Washington be like yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
So in that in that case, it's like I found
I found a solution in film for me first, and
that when I was doing things economically, you know, they
everybody wanted the problem. So I said, you know what,
I'm just gonna do what what I know to do
(04:06):
and find that solution at least in film first. You
see what I'm saying, Because it's not it's it's it's
all about how you produce, you know, you know, you
know what I mean. Films are affordable now with technology
correct now.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Just to kind of reset the room a little bit
a little bit, And I like how you did say,
are you from Detroit?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Growing up. How was that for you?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I grew up in the hood and the suburbs.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
So I grew up in the suburbs and the sober
grew up in seven the first suburb.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Second, what was back and forth?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, so seven miles worldwards to West Bloomfield.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So who was who was so white?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
They put my picture in every grade in the yearbook
so the school can look diverse.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So who was in the hood? Who was in the suburbs?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Uh? So the hood was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Who was in the Was mom in the hood?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Dad in the suburbs?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
My parents? My parents are still together.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
That's what's up, you know what I mean. I come
from like a family. My dad's a pastor, you know
what I mean. And and and you know, uh, they've
been together for forty some years, nine kids, So yeah,
we have a traditional family. And I was And sometimes
you get hated on for that, you know, just having
my man and daddy in the house, you know what
I mean. It's it's it's it's it's crazy the mentality
(05:15):
sometimes of like of people. But when I was coming up,
you know, it was like my dad always made sure,
you know what I mean, that we put God first.
And we knew that we can do anything, you know
what I mean, that we could put And that's just
how I was taught, you know it was it was
never just like I told my dad. I said, look,
he said, you're gonna be either the youth pastor, which
(05:36):
I didn't want to be because I was. I was
a horror back then. I don't want to be the
youth pastor, or you're gonna go to Hollywood. I said, Dad,
if I don't make it in six months, right, how.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Were you when you said this to him?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Eighteen?
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Some way? Your dad gave you the ultimate?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I gave him ultimate. Oh god, I bet, I bet
on myself. I said.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I said, if I don't make it within six months,
I'll come back and work for the church.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
And what was your first I gotta make it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I gotta what was your first big break?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
So I went to the Lave Factory when I was
eighteen and I did chocolate Sundays Pooky Wigginton and also
uh uh, Chris Spencer.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
They put me on stage.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Now Pokey Wigan and he's the one that manages Kevin
Hart and you know him. He's on the Kapvin Hart's team.
He ran he runs a thing called Chocolate Sundays. So
I did three minutes, ripped it, got an agent at
C A A and they My first audition was fat
Albert didn't get that. Second one, uh was roll bounds
(06:38):
you got I got got them. Yeah, And I was like,
that's six months.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now, correct me if I'm wrong to be to you too,
because you've been on television. Getting paid is different acting
and being on films, because you don't just get paid
every two weeks like a normal person that has a.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Nine to five.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
No, no, you don't.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
You get paid kind of like the NFL not be
trying to tell my team when they invoice, when the
invoice and they we get paid kind of like if
you know any corporate structures, it's called and I do
a drug about this net thirties and everything like or
sometimes and it depends on how what your contract is.
But people say you get a big lump sum of
money up, No, it doesn't work like that. You got
to finish the film then you know you get then
(07:22):
you got to get paid weekly something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
But it's not finish the film.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
To get in some contracts, you gotta finish the film
and then you get you get the rest of your money.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's not this, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's it's drawn not as lucrative as people say, oh
yeah you just got five million for that film, but
even if you did, you getting.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
It spaced out.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Yeah you're not getting you got the contract, but that
and not be trying to explain that to people. It's like,
did you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Have a root awakening with that?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Because I'm kind of trying to lead to what how
did you learn to manage your money because that could
get a little difficult, especially.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
When you were young, And no, we didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And the funny thing is, and my dad gets madden
me for this, Like my.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Dad because he was he was, he was, he was,
he was drug dealer turned pastor.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Okay, so you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
So my dad in the seventies, I guess the baby
boomers and they get mad when you say this, They
really didn't teach us how to manage money like that.
They taught us how to pray, pray, ask God, you
know what I mean, keep your head up, chests out.
You know, that's where I got that from because my
dad would give me like seventies sayings, you know, son,
the game is chess.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Not check us, you know what I mean? You playing
connect for I'm like, dad, how do you manage money?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
That's not a real a real solution, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And I think they just didn't know if they was born.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
And you know in that generation with the baby boomers
where their parents just said just trust God and uh
and you'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Now it's like, okay, where's the math.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You can't figure it out.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
I need an accounting right now because it's money coming
in exactly. So I was I had to. I had
to figure it out where I was like, okay, and
study how to uh understand that castle.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You had to figure it out? Yeah, okay, well yeah we.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
All yeah, yeah, we all yeah, still figuring out. I
think everyone's I think the whole country figured it out
right now how to manage money.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And it's here right right. But yeah, yeah, So I.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Think that our parents really gave us a a good
foundation im morality, but not practicality.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
If I said that, practicality, yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And you know, like we we pray over over food
that's that gives us high cholesterol?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You know, God bless this pork.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I mean, should I be eating this right now. It's
like it's not even a religious thing. It's like, you know,
let's bless Heroin too. It's like, you know what I mean,
Like it just doesn't make sense. I like, I like,
I like practical data. Now I've already done the emotional thing,
you know what I mean, the baby mama and this,
and that, I've done the emotional thing.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I'm not practicality in this season in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Yeah, it sounds like that that you've just done with
the bullshit. I'm done with it, and I'm done with
us complaining about something we can change.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I'm so over that.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I can't stand that we he ain't no, stop stop.
We can change anything we put our mind to. And
that's how how I was taught. You know, but my parents,
Now what change? What changed about you? In in Hollywood?
I want to say, no, chances I evolved into a man.
I mean, I can't be running around with bowwow and.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Grow up yeah through it.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, I grew up.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, I grew up on that spiritual journey trying to
you know, work and and and really like working on
farms and you know, when you really start touching the
earth and you realize what's what's the what's what's the value?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Like men back in the East Eastern cultures didn't get
married today was forty because they had they they had
to get their stuff together. You know Eve, oh you
said us. Eve didn't come to Adam had his garden.
That's what I always tell men. When he was he
was like, it's not good for man to be alone
after he had all his stuff together, right and not?
And if you just believe it as a story, just
(10:57):
think of it from a place of if you don't
have your garden together. And I think we were so
in the Western culture was so quick to be like,
you know, I can go do my own thing instead
of serving and understanding how to your manhood First, Let's
go seats, let's go move these uh uh uh. And
(11:17):
it sounds ridiculous, but this is why some people understand,
let's go get the lambs, let's go move this, the horses,
let's go let's go work with the earth, you know
what I mean. A lot of people don't like, you know,
that's where it's at first, because you really don't need money,
you don't you need.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Just the work. The earth yields food. If you really
if It really came.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Down to how do you when you were realizing this?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
I don't know, man, I've always kind of asked questions, uh,
but realizing, I mean, how old.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I can tell you the season in my life when
you evolved into this.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Just growth? I mean, is how do I explain it?
How old was that?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Some people have moments?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So I stepped away around twenty.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Sixteen when you stepped away from the movie.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Scene from the movie scene, I did one ind that's
gonna actually come out in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
That's with me and Jez. It's called Trap City. I
did that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
We didn't come out yet.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Nah, don't even please don't, okay, don't it's coming out.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You're gonna see it. But it's it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That was the movie.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
That was my first time producing the film, and I'm
happy that everything that could go wrong went wrong in
that film from even now, like from the Jez's divorces
and we got you know, the thing is going on
over there, We got you know, we got we like,
we gotta promote Jez. Don't mention my name, No, you,
we're gonna mention your name. We gotta sell the movie.
(12:44):
We're gonna mention your name. You want to cover.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, but you shot this in twenty eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I know it's it's I don't know how much has
happened since I don't own the film anymore. My partner
Telga Nation, shout out to him. He owns the film,
and you know he can release it the way he feels.
It's just everything that could have went wrong on that set,
from food poison. It mean, it was horrible. It was horrible,
but I love it because I learned everything. It was
like I was going. I was through that time of
(13:12):
that seven year journey. I was literally going and becoming
a man, learning mistakes.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
So now I know what not to do.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying.
I do.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Got a question for you.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
What was your favorite film to shoot right now?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
My favorite it's not out yet. My favorite series, favorite
piece right now is Family Business, New Orleans. I think
I think I finally got a piece that shows what
who who I need, who I need to be on film?
You know what I mean, just with the action and
the and it's actually a drama, which is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Uh It's it's it's just dope.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
I could tell you excited about it.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
So because I mean, I'm driving a lambo, I own
a casino, like yeah, y'all, see y'all, y'all.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
And it's so weird because like if you look at
somebody's baby picture and he's, oh, you were so cute
as a baby. You know, That's how I feel sometimes
when people look at me, they're seeing my baby picture.
And then so now I have an updated photo, Like
you feel like.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
People judge you based on your past.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
And it's like it's not a problem, but it's like
it's like Julia Roberts and and I always say her
and Brad pick because the way we look at actors
and other nationalities, Brad Pitten Interview of the Vampire. You're
not gonna be like, yo, what's up with the Interview
of the Vampire. You be like, no Ocean is eleven.
You're gonna go back to what he's did, I bullet train,
(14:43):
you know, And of course to his discretion is that
he put out a movie every two years.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
So it's like, you know, I took that break.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
So I'm happy that y'all gonna see me playing a lawyer,
me playing a casino owner, me playing a cop.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You know. Cool?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Cool, Uh, uh, grown man roles where I can you know,
have have my own thing?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Are you does it? Sometimes?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know you that people may correlate how you how
great you did as an actor in a movie, and
think that's who you really are.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Hmm. Yeah, it's kind of like you did such a
great job in those movies that you were part of.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
People Child, the Tyler Perry movie that kicked the girl out.
They hate him.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
They hate him forever.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
No, it's not forever. What's the movie. What's the movie?
What's the movie? It's the movie? I forget his name.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
What's the movie?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
The guy who kicked.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
They hate him?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
What I said?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They don't like him to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But he was acting.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I know. It's well, I listen.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
If I think they're gonna love Marquise Duncan and and
that's that's that's a problem. And I'm not trying to
be I've been trying to tell I'm not Marquis.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I would love.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm not saying God is not gonna bless me with
my own private jet one day or and and and
but if you were gonna.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Fly either Spirit or Delta. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
If you, if you look one is a bad I
mean spirit tickets like Philly dollars, but your bag checked
me like three hundred, so you go.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Now, I gotta talk about your boy bow wow. I
always felt that he was a great actor, and I
felt like he should should have stayed there and only
did that because I've seen him act in movies and
you've acted.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
How many movies we bout?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I think too too.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I wanted your opinion, do you did you agree with that?
Because I felt like he was a better actor.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I don't put limits on people, but I know what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Like he was so talented.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
People say this.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
About me, and it's annoying. They never seen my comedy,
right okay, and they say when they see it, they go, wow,
this was brilliant. How'd you I've been doing it for
so long? But they say, hey, but these you're an actor,
you know. And then when they see it go, oh,
that's how that's why they shoot it like a film.
You see, I have to do like Eddie Murphy raw,
you know what I mean? I do it in that way?
(17:11):
Was well because but I've been doing comedy for thirty
twenty five years, but y'all just didn't se it because
all my stuff got lost on MySpace. That's how long
I've been doing it, you know what I mean. And
I didn't go I wasn't internet deal with all the
Internet sketches.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I was already so you weren't. You didn't partake in
the interneting.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was always in film.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I was just about to say, I think it was
because I'm a film guy. He was.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I feel like you could have at least gave us
some we won social media.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's what we're doing. That's why I'm here now.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Look, this is the conversations that we was having off camera,
because he was talking about like he when he was like,
this is my first time on the show. And then
when I showed him some of the clips, He's like, oh,
I've seen this, but he said, I'm so far removed.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I'm right now, he said, That's why I'm here now. Yeah,
I'm writing the film right. I'm writing two movies right
now out of eating in transit. Right, I'm I write film.
I gotta shut everything off. I gotta write a hundred pages,
and I gotta read all these other auditions against Damns
and Adres and all these other dudes.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
It's like, you know, it's it's it's it's it's a
it's a lot bro as you you being an actor,
you gotta sit down and read.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I'm like, I got that, and someone about you gotta
realize that's another thing. By while, I feel like I
was trying to get the rights to Lottery Ticket to
prior to the director how to do it Warner Brothers.
I think they said no, by the way, but I
(18:39):
don't know. So the director Eric White called we met
about another movie which I can't tell you about, and
I thought it was a great idea and everything. But
then it becomes if you put me in Bao in
the film, which the movie is actually really funny, the idea,
why are we not executing this? And this is why
this why be getting mad? I just executed this. I
(19:00):
shot this and one day I.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Delivered it to the studios.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
With post says and someone who's watching, what is this?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
This is my my comedy special chest out right just
cause you know, so delivering delivering this this this product
right was less than a month of and when you
talk about post production, that's what I'm saying. I gotta
go to a post house. I got coloring to do.
My mind is like I'm like a Tyler Perry. And
(19:30):
when I say that, we have to gigabytes terror bytes
and you know what I'm saying, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Social media isn't really on your mind? You're thinking way
above well.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
When I say country ain't doing movies, it's like I
love it, but it's like, wait a minute, while am
I going off movies to go do sketches. It's annoying,
Like I can't stop films to go do sketches, but
I know I need to do sketches.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
See what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Trust me, it's a headache every day with my team.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But I still think you should only because it's some
low hanging fruit, So you should.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So Facebook can just be telling me how to be
a robot.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It just know, it just keeps you in the algorithm. Brother,
that's all.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
We just want to.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Really keeps it talented, Netflix correct.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Correct, But there's there's multiple algorithms. If we can be honest,
I'm with you. It's just I would rather I will
I would like to see you on my timeline as
much as possible because you're a talented person. That's our
talented He is an Italian mobster.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You want to people to see you, give me twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Give me forty.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Okay, maybe I'll give you like fifteen people. I want
to play that video game.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But he but he from a different era because I'm
a classic.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Like when I went to Ferrari, right, I was like,
I see what Ferrari's doing.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Right, I get it.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
They're exclusive, there's no commercials. You don't see you don't
see commercials. I'm like, maybe I said to name myself that.
Come on, you know what I'm saying, self advertisedment.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Come on.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
And the funny thing is is I would sending Ferrari
to Ferrari store the other day and.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
It was just I was like, okay, and I know
God sent me in there.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I know it sounds, you know, kind of you know, random, but.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
It's like.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
You're a Ferrari, you know. I'm like, okay, okay, God,
you can't be everywhere. Kendrick is a Ferrari, you know.
It's like, I think humility has become my strength over
being arrogant because the more I the more I step away,
the more I try.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
To go, go go go. It's just God always.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Like I'm I'm kind of an exclusive situation, and I
really don't want to be, but I'm realizing that. You
know what I mean, You're going to see a branded
Jackson project when God wants you to see a brain
like it's the same, you know, like, do you understand that?
And I was talking to my audience about this yesterday
(22:01):
Drake did, Yeah, I want you to do this math.
Drake did a song called Big as a super Bowl
where he was at the super Bowl. In the music
video performing right, he said it was a big three
(22:22):
what's his name?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Right? Big three?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It was him, J Cole and Kendrick.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
And Kendrick said no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Ain't no big three. It's just big me right, And
now he's performing at the super.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Bowl to a distrut to Drake, that's ridiculous. How can
you know, bro, that's that's cosmic. That's cosmic.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
There's no way. And listen, I'm I was in and
out like us video, you know what I mean? Yes,
I got two. I was going the wrong way to
hope when he said step this way, I was going
the other way.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
I look say, Drake followed you to them.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, no, listen, listen, no, no, I love I love humans.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I don't. I don't, you know.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
But when we talking about a sporting event like Drake
on a personal level, Kendrick on a personal level, always
gonna be my brothers. But when you're talking about I've
never seen something look like Moses and Pharaoh in the mile.
It was like he sucked all the pride out of
Drake and say, be humble, sit down.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
That's bro, that's that's different.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
And that's why I always I say keep my head
up in my chest out because that's more of a
keep your head up. That's a positive message. This ain't
nothing saying I'm arrogant better than anybody. I just know
that when when when when the universe what you want
to call it, God, when he's before you, ain't no
man could be against you.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It's nothing you can do. Trust me.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I tried it, ended up with goats and lambs and
try to do my own thing.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I ended up on farms in Arizona.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Bro, I've been through a whole journey where I'm able
to be like, Okay, I can't.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I don't control nothing.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Well, listen, man, we appreciate you pulling up on this man.

God bless me with my own studio. You know, I'm
I'm I'm filming, I'm writing, I'm selling. Uh you know,
like I got my own studio. I don't have to
wait on you know, people to tell me when to
put the cameras up. You know, you can audition, that's great,
(24:27):
but you gotta wait on them to clear all that.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
It's like, let's just just let's just shoot.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So someone wants to be an actor or actress, can
they contact you or context?
