Drink Champs. Welcome to Drink Champs, a production of the Black Effect and iHeartRadio. Hey, Hank Segre, this your boy N.O.R.E. He's a Miami hip-hop pioneer. One of his DJ EFN. Together, they drink it up with some of the biggest players.

You know what I mean? In the most professional, unprofessional podcast. And your number one source for drunk facts. This is Drink Champs motherfucking podcast. Where every day is New Year's Eve. It's time for Drink Champs. Drink up, motherfucker. And right now, in case the people don't know who we're talking about, who we're about to interview, who we're in front of, we're in front of one of the most funniest people on the planet. I like that.

Hands down. I like it. Icon. I love that. Legend. That's dope. I was in his first movie. Damn sure was.

Paper Soldiers. We did not get paid it's true we got rock and wear gear a lot of it at least I don't remember if it was a lot or not

but the man has went and I went and I looked at his early comedy and from

places that he's come to where he at now there is no one who's ever done this. I went to his show yesterday. He had all of his friends

on the show with their scene, with their own dressing rooms. I don't think me and you got our own dressing room. We don't. We stuck. In case y'all don't know

who the hell we're talking about. We're talking about the one, the only, motherfucking Kevin Hart! Kev, I got to tell you straight up and down, I thought that was amazing. Thank you, man. When I came there,

you are like the Wu-Tang clan of comedians. Like, you the RZA, but then you got Red and Meth. Yeah. And you got Ghostface. Yeah. How the fuck, because I went there yesterday,

I said, damn, his boys, his crew, and they're getting paid. Yeah, I mean, they're very much,

they're a high, a high reason for the success. You know, I mean, my success is their success, their success is my success. So, this group that we put together,

man, we've been touring for over 10 years together i mean i want to say it could it could even be longer and uh we're talking about of course uh joey wells naeem lynn spankhorn and those are the comics um but then it goes down to a plethora of other individuals that represent the Plastic Cup Boys, which is a name that we gave ourselves and it's all based off of the idea of a rare solo cup and what that

represents. It represents a good time. We're a good time. We're good energy all the time. Shouts out to Harry, Boss, Wayne, Spank, Naeem, Joey, Quan, John. Spank, Naeem, Joey, Quan, John. You know, that energy that has provided what I believe to be the solid circle that we are in, that we operate in. It helps me operate at a very high level.

So I say I'm very loyal to my guys. And in return, they're loyal to me, man. But it's a good feeling when you look back and you look at the thing that you've built and it's not a you thing, it's a we thing. You know what I mean?

Because this is how you know Spank is getting a lot of money. He was just sitting there changing his bandage in front of everybody. I was just like, what the fuck? Blood was just moving.

No one said nothing. Yeah, that's not a lot of money. That's just stupid. Spank is just being stupid. That's very nasty. Another thing I noticed, this is how I know you're getting a lot of money. That's just stupid. Spank is just being stupid. That's very nasty. Another thing I noticed, this is how I know you're getting a lot of money. And I'm not counting your pockets,

but I want to big you up. You're trying to get me robbed. I want to big you up. You're trying to get me robbed. I want to big you up. This is a high-level robbery. Your security had on a Daytona. He's not scaring nobody.

Yo, listen, I'm going to be honest with you. If a motherfucker tells me to shut up and you got a Daytona, I'm gonna be honest with you if a motherfucker tells me to shut up and you go to the Daytona I'm like nah nigga you shut up because come on

who he scared he got a house on his wrist yeah I don't listen security needs security I cannot confirm I cannot confirm or deny

oh no I took a picture of it I wanted to make sure I was studying yesterday look man yo success success is success is whatever you want it to be I wanted to make sure I was studying yesterday Look man You know Success Success is Success is Whatever you want it to be

And for the individuals Around me I think There's different layers to it There's different levels to it And I think We all share Different versions

Of what we feel Our success is But the biggest win Is that we're still together You really want to talk About the biggest win The biggest win is that This tour is still going on.

God damn it. Egos have not fucked us over completely. We have not put ourselves in a position where we are our own demise. And that's what happens a lot of times in this business. I mean, I've talked about it several times before, especially within our culture. I pride myself on trying to keep this thing that I'm very passionate about together right like let's let's be consistent let's do the work let's motivate and inspire one another and to date we've

done that so we've we've watched each other turn from boys to now men I mean you know we've watched each other have families kids wives like it's we've literally been we've all been together that long to see each other grow. To see each other grow together. Yeah, so it's bigger than the career. It's bigger than just the moment on stage or the tour. That's family.

It's family. It's life. We built something special. And your security guard got a Daytona. Got that point. You know what I'm saying? That is some flossing shit. That is some flossing shit That is some flossing shit

Now you went to Booby Trap and Story afterwards? I didn't want to You said you was double booked? Yeah you was triple booked I don't go out I don't go out often So you know Coming to Miami

We haven't been here I haven't been here for stand up comedy In probably six years I want to say. Maybe six years. So celebrating, you know, we said it's been a long time. Let's all go out. We went to Story.

After that, we wanted to get back to our roots. You know, we hit Booby Trap. I fell asleep in a true Kevin Hart fashion. You're talking about in Booby Trap? In Booby Trap. Okay, how did this happen? I just sat in the back and fell asleep. Yeah, I felt them taps.

I felt them taps on my leg. Wake your ass up. I said, all right, it's time to go. I'm going to sleep. I see it in your special that you said that your boys treat you like

Weekend at Bernie's. Absolutely. I thought my dudes only do that to me. No, no, no. I didn't realize that. I'm a nodder. I'm a nodder.

I fall asleep in a heartbeat. But you know what I mean? Look, I work a lot. I fucking work extremely hard, long days. So past a certain hour, I'm definitely going to, I'm getting dozy. We push the limit here in Miami. I took a nap today. A nap is good.

A nap is good. I have no problem with a nap. I think naps are necessary after age 40. Putting a nap in your daily regimen is something that I think you should prioritize. I'm not going to clown you for taking a nap. I fucking take naps on a daily. 15-minute, 10-minute increments, power boosts is what I call them. You need those.

Nothing wrong with those. Nothing wrong with those. Nothing wrong with those. I'm here with them. I'm here with you. Holy shit. I'm taking another nap as soon as we finish. So, look.

So, let's get to this. My man, James, very great, great guy. Okay. So James is my partner? Yes. Okay, Tequila James. Oh, damn. You had to think about it.

Yeah, what James was talking about. I got you. But Tequila. Yes. Gran Coromino. Coromino. Gran Coromino. Okay.

That one that you're looking at, that you're holding on, that's our first one out the gate. That is a clear Reposado. Would you like some, sir? Because I heard it's pretty good. Well, it is pretty good. I'm here to drink. You know, I didn't drink all day. I knew this shit was coming.

So, you know, I'm not going to be a bitch. I'm going to embrace the rule that you guys have. You know, I'm trying to get as much professional shit out as I can now. I'm keeping my words together before shit before I make that laugh. We will make a laugh. Let me tell you before you finish. Let me just tell you. I was watching you on stage, right?

And I'm telling you, I'm zoomed in. And you're so smooth, right? You ain't sweating at all. You see that? I'm like, he got leather pants on. He sweat somewhere. Yeah. Right?

He sweat somewhere. Somewhere in his sweat. And you didn't sweat.. Yeah. Right? It's sweat somewhere. It's somewhere in his sweat. He go, and you don't even sweat? I'm like, he's really like this good. He really like, he really like an Avenger.

And then, at the end of the show, you say, I'm going to take a shot for you, Miami. You took a shot and you took a shot for somebody else

and then it came down. I said, this is some dangerous shit. No, no, no. This is some dangerous shit. This tequila's real. This tequila's real. You know I know my shit. You see, you know I know what's going on. I said, this is a dangerous shit. No, no, no. This tequila's real. This tequila's real. You know I know what's going on.

I am not going to hold back here. I have a really good product, man. I don't do anything halfway. So the development of my tequila, you're talking about three and a half to four years of tasting, sending things back, of trips

to Mexico, of spending ample time in the distillery with our team and people that are basically responsible for bringing us what we feel the best version of our product should be. And I wasn't going to be satisfied until it was right. And we got it right. We knocked it out the park. And Cristalino, look, for the people that don't know,

Cristalino has been around for a long time it's just never it's never been properly introduced right like is that the crystal this is the cristalino so cristalino is a clear it's a clear reposado right you basically took the color out of it still reposado it's just clear it does not have the color um and in that regard we don't know it's always been sold to the high shelf like people look at this and they think it's a blanco it's not a blanco It's a Cristalino So I took this as an opportunity To educate the market

On not only what a Cristalino is But why it's so special Why it's something that's unique Why it's something That you should experience Because being at a high price point People couldn't enjoy it So we lowered it

We made this our start off And this comes in I believe $59 This is our $59 bottle And we said let's start here And then we went to our Anejo And this is our $59 bottle and we said let's start here and then we went to our Añejo and this is our $100 bottle

$99 but you know the world of premium only gets better and I think everybody's palate deserves a boost so I gave them a boost

with Grand Coromino this is a brand that will be around for quite some time that people are going to take a like and love to I promise you so you want to start

with the $100 shit? no you start here you start with the Custalino alright cool cause I don't want to let me try this this shit? No, you start here, J. Man. You want to start here? You want to start here? Yeah, man. Start with the Custalino. All right, cool, because I don't want to...

Let me try this. This is how you... Because they're not going to... Whoa, whoa. Go ahead. Nah, this is not no normal shit. Nah, just premium. Okay, go ahead.

We want to see how you do it, sir. Don't throw me... And I also have you guys with my shot glass. If you notice, my bottle, if you notice the shape of my bottle, it's extremely sleek, but it's smooth, and it's almost a twist. The reason why is because it's representing slopes. Ski slopes. Going down a ski slope is a very smooth thing to do when you do it correctly. Drinking my tequila should be smooth, should be fun.

Hence, the glasses mimic it as well. These are all little things you have to pay attention to. You are professional, man. Minor details, people. Minor details. Okay? Minor details. All right.

All right. He's going in. He's going in. That's for you. What you doing? Hey, I drink champagne till we do the shot. You don't fucking drink champagne

when I'm here. We're doing the shot. We're doing one shot with him. You don't fucking drink champagne when I'm here. I'm even doing it. Then I'm going to my water. I don't give a shit.

All right, cool. You don't normally have Kevin Hart as a fucking guest. That's right. Come on. Come on. That's right, goddamn it. All right, right. That's right, God damn it. All right.

This is a shot to you guys. Yes. I'm proud of what you guys have done. Yes. An amazing platform this is, man. And it's an honor to be here, brother. So this one is for you guys. So I'm going to take half of this.

What you doing? I'm sorry. It's a long game. Come on, man. It's a long game. It's a long game. It's a long game. Do you want me to be here or not?

Yes. Come on now. Come on now. Come on, man. It's a long game. It's a long game. Do you want me to be here or not? Yes. Come on now. Come on now. Come on now. That's good. Come on now. You got a lot. I'm not going to lie.

I don't usually like tequila shots, but that was good. Huh? Smooth, baby. I'm not going to lie to you. No, real good. No, it's good. That's it. Let me know.

You a champagne drinker. You better stay in your league. That's what it told me. It texted me. It texted me. It texted me. It just texted you? It texted me. So, Kev, I just watched the movie Me Time. Okay.

I felt great. Okay. Not only the movie's good, but I knew you and Mark Wahlberg. So, I texted y'all both. Yes. And y'all both hit me back, and I felt great about life. Yes. Yes.

I said, two stars together. But the movie is actually a great fucking movie. Who came up with this script? How does this happen? Me Time is a special movie because it falls underneath the umbrella of heartbeat.

You know, I'm at a unique place in my career now where the movies that I want to do are movies that I develop. That's your production company. That's my production company, media company. Brian Smiley's a part of that?

Brian Smiley's our president and head of development. I like it. But what we do is we look for feel-good content. We look for things that people cannot just relate to, but they can see themselves in. How do we make IP that gives people a moment to either reflect on their life or understand somebody else's position? Laugh, more importantly, believe with a message. So John Hamburg, who directed and wrote the script, John Hamburg and I, we developed this idea over the course of about a year and a half. And we wanted to do a reversal on the expectation and role of what's sometime expected of some women, right?

Like, you know, if a woman has kids and, you know, there the world of business um going out in the world attacking and she's getting held down at home by a man dad be stay home that's what he embraces that's what he loves and you know we said look that's funny but we also should make sure that we do it correctly like let's make sure that we give the nod to the woman in the way they deserve it and that's what the idea was based around and then the character the man that embraces the world of home well we said let's get our funny off there he's over the idea was based around. And then the character, the man that embraces the world of home, we said, let's get our funny off there.

He's over the top. He's involved in a kid's school. He's a volunteer, but he's excessive with it. He's packing the lunches. He's very pleasant. He's over the top with it. So that's where the joke came from. Then we said,

we want to get him out of the environment, put him in a place where he can actually get loose. Hence Mark Wahlberg, his character Huck, us being old friends and then having to

rekindle the relationship of old and get into some kind of conflict of new. The idea was good. Hamburg did a great job writing the script. Netflix loved it

and we said, let's do it. So you're now looking at, I think, our fourth movie underneath the Heartbeat umbrella and it's growing, right?

Our content is growing. Underneath Netflix as well? Underneath Heartbeat. So right now we have Man from Toronto, Fatherhood, Me Time. Those are the movies

that Heartbeat has produced. We also have Coming Out, we have Lift, which we also produced, and we're in development now on one more. It's not about

the car service, Lift, right? No, it's called Lift. This one is actually directed by F. Gary Gray. So this movie is, this one is actually directed by F. Gary Gray so this movie is this movie is serious this is my this is my

U-turn we also produced True Story True Story that was it let's get into True Story that was it so that's another

Heartbeat production I was ill man I ain't gonna lie when I watched True Story I felt like Westy's knife was a foul nigga in real life

like I felt like he wasn't acting I'm sorry why the fuck are y'all laughing and no one else felt like this like Westy's night was a foul nigga in real life yeah like I felt like he wasn't acting I'm sorry why the fuck are y'all laughing like no one else felt like this he did too much of

a good job he's a real deal he's a real deal he's a real deal so what happened you called you said I gotta call the OG I had an idea I

wanted to do something serious I said how do I throw my fan base for a loop you know just pretty much show that I have this in my bag. Just to play. Like,

let me play in this space and see what I can come up with. And I was a big fan of Narcos. And I went out and I got in touch with Eric. Eric Newman from he's the producer, showrunner, creator of the world of Narcos. And I said, dude, I want to come to you because I want to do something

that basically puts a gun in my hand. I got half a shot left. That's fine. I can do this all day. It's my product. Let me get down with y'all a little bit. I said, I want to do something where I basically put a gun in my hand and people can believe it.

How do we crack the code on that? And I said, here's a rough idea of what I want to do. What do you think of this? He said, dude, I like the idea of you doing something serious. I like the idea of being attached to the reason

why people will believe it. He said, give me a couple weeks to take it, come back at you, and then we have something to talk from. He took my rough idea,

came back with a template of what we thought it could be. We built off of that. True story became real. We said, who do we want to play the brother? We both said Wesley Snipes. Get the fuck out of here.

Wesley Snipes. First pick. First pick. First pick. Out the gate. And here's the thing. When I talked to Wesley Snipes in the beginning, Wesley didn't know it was serious. Wesley thought it was a comedy. We had to explain to Wesley, no, Wesley, this is not a comedy. This is real. Like, this is serious as fuck. I'm not playing. Did it matter to him either way, though? Whether it was or wasn't? At first, he

didn't know. Like, Wesley was like, I don't know if Kev is going to be able to pull off the world of serious.ley was like i don't know if kevin's going to be able to pull off the world of serious he said i don't know and i said wesley i said well hey working with you is dope as fuck because you know i came up on you i'm a fan of you i said so i will never waste your time if anything your talent is going to elevate mine i said but i don't i don't plan to come here not prepared i come here to not only do the work, but to fucking make the material that can have people go, oh, my God. If I had to sell Wesley on me doing it. And, you know, he was.

Once he was sold in and bought into the concept, we hit the ground running, man. And he did exactly what I thought he was going to do. His acting elevated mine. The way that he approaches his day, the way that he breaks down a scene and material, I learned so much from working with him. It made me more polished as an actor and more ambitious about doing the thing after.

I can't wait to do the thing after. And Lift is the thing after True Story. And it's serious as well. You did another joint where you was in a wheelchair, right? I wasn't in a wheelchair. The white guy was in a wheelchair, yeah. Upside.

That's Bryan Cranston, the legend. Bryan Cranston, Nicole Kidman, myself. Yeah, that's a hell of a cast to be in. And once again, that was one where I had to talk to Bryan. Right. I'm going to be serious, guys. All right, but is Kevin really going to embrace the seriousness of, like, he's going to come in and understand, like, this has to be a certain way. Because when you come from the world of stand-up comedy.

Is it the narcolepsy again? No, Bryan Cranston is. Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad. Oh, okay. So, you know, with Bryan Cranston in the upside, it was making sure he understood. Like, no, I'm going to knock the role out the part. But I met with him, the director.

Like, granted, I'm going to knock the role out the part. But I met with him, the director. Like, granted, I already got the part, but you're meeting with your cast before you get into the world of shooting so that they're confident that you're going to show up every day and not just be prepared but be good.

Right, you're serious about it. And that was fucking dope. Seeing Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman show up for work every day, knowing their lines, prep, prepared, breaking down scenes

and I'm sitting right there holding my own. Your talent, your talent gets sharpened by other talent, right? You know what they say, iron sharpens iron. Yeah, iron sharpens iron.

It couldn't be more true. I think that's where I've been able to raise my game throughout the years of doing what it is that I do. It's from positioning myself with people that have not only done it,

but they've done it at a very high level. Well, they've always said that comedians could be the best dramatic actor. Absolutely. Like, I thought Robin Williams embodied that. Absolutely. Right. Absolutely.

You know, Jamie Foxx and... Yeah, because if you can make people laugh... I didn't take Jamie Foxx seriously. You can take him down that other road easily. Here's the thing. Like, there's an assumption that you can't just based off of the funny things that you've seen them in. Right. It's not based off of them doing something serious and not being good.

Right. That really happens when you see the comedic talent that takes that stance. Jim Carrey, when he took that stance, it was fucking insane. Steve Carell, insane. Jamie Foxx. Yeah, Jamie Foxx. Insane. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Chris Rock.

When Chris Rock did the play, Motherfucker in the Hat, he was on Broadway. It was a serious play. Chris Rock was on Broadway for a minute. Fucking bodied that play. I mean, I think New Jack City, just that role. We were all- We were given the opportunity. If you put a comedian in a position to be serious Chris Tucker dead president oh

yeah like like what it's you have the tears and the levels because on stage you're going in and out of what you choose to go in and out of right but being funny is harder right acting by the way train actors Desmond's I mean they're they're unbelievable method actors yes like they're unbelievable like the niggas you can't one, why not? What's your problem? Them niggas that be showing up, my name is Corey. No, your name is Matt.

We had lunch yesterday, nigga. What are you talking about? But they be coming in mad serious and shit. I don't disrespect anybody's process. I don't disrespect anybody's talent, right? Whether I agree to your approach of how you do what you do or not I love the fact that talent is talent

and however a person gets there they get there so I'm going to support your process regardless those actors that we're referring to are fucking phenomenal phenomenal you can't take anything away from them but people people don't give comedy enough fucking credit they don't give comedy enough fucking credit.

They don't give the world of comedy enough. Like Eddie Murphy and Nutty Professor, they didn't give that enough. Right, right, right. Like they kind of shoulder shrug it as if it's just Eddie. Like that's, oh yeah, that was great. He played every character. That was good. But if another actor did a Disney role

they'd give him props but it's like Eddie acted with Eddie and remembered all of the things that Eddie did as the other people

for 80 days during the movie crazy that's not that's not easy that's not easy that's a different level of talent

so when you look at Martin Big Mama's when you look at Martin, Big Mama's house, when you look at all these comedians that have taken that stance, when you go, Robert Williams and Miss Doubtfire, you look at all this shit.

I thought that was a woman. You can, it's the idea of going to the farthest extent to get the laugh, but grounding my approach to doing it. Well, the business, the business shoulder shrugs comedy,

once again, because it's like, oh yeah, but it's comedy. Right. Jim Carrey, Me, Myself, and Irene. Oh yeah. What are you talking about? My wife calls me,

she said that being married to me is like being married to me, myself, and Irene. I'll never forget that. I don't know if that's a compliment or not. If you watch, go watch Jim Carrey's performance

of Me, Myself, and Irene. Yeah, I love it. That's Hank. When Hank comes back. From Rhode Island. Oh, my God. When he keeps going back and forth. Yeah, yeah.

I can go down the line of so many great comedic performances, you know, that are fucking legendary. Ben Stiller in Meet the Fockers. Meet the Fockers. You go to the first one, like that idea of this guy that's being bullied by the dead, but making that world real, that's a fucking task. There's a high level of respect that should be put

on comedy in general. It just makes the world go around. It's necessary. And these comedic actors and actresses are necessary. I think we got to make some noise for that.

You have to. It's true. It's true. So we recently seen you with Lil Duval. Yeah. Lil Duval. You ready? Okay.

We recently seen you with Lil Duval, right? I don't know what just happened, but he just put down a knee. He just put down a knee. Lil Duval. Yeah. The man was in a wheelchair. Yeah. Your game with this, I assume.

Yeah. Had him take a shot. Yeah. it was for all of mankind yeah then he asked you to hit the blunt yeah you said absolutely not absolutely is this a problem with marijuana what is what is going what is what is the relationship with you Well, again, it's easy. What's it called? What's the best way to explain this? Oh, a brand. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got a lot to lose. I'm a fucking

chairman CEO. But you know it's medical. This is medically approved. Yeah, I do know. You know what else I know? You know what else I know? I haven't smoked, and my business partner somehow trusts me with all the business that I do I'm on time I show up in the mornings

I smell like I don't smoke weed I actually have a good memory shout out to everybody that smokes weed but I'll be honest with you a lot of delayed reactions from those fucking people a lot of delayed

a lot of fucking staggering reactions from those people. Now, I'm not frowning upon what you do. Once again, be you, do you. I embrace your world. Doesn't mean that I look down on you. Shots out to you. But I don't want to fucking smoke it. Now, here's the thing.

Breaks my heart. Fucking to see him down. But because of his relationship and our relationship, I'm going to make sure that his down isn't a bad one. I'm going to get him back up.

So I said, come out to the show. You know why? Because he's sitting in his fucking wheelchair and he's just smoking. I'm like, you can't fucking do that because you're just chilling and the days are going to fly by you got to get your ass up get out and get active i'm not saying that all weed smokers aren't active because some of them are i'm a very active i'm saying that they are i'm saying for my friend i don't want to see him just not be active so he wanted me to smoke weed my way we're at the arena, I'm about to perform. I'm like, what are you doing? What are you doing on that one? Yeah,

I'm like, I'm going on stage right now. He's going to hit the blend. I said, you don't care about my career at all. Like, you don't give a fuck

about what I do at all. So, you know, for me, it was a thing to support and show love, but I would never do it.

I said, I got all this weed product here, great for you guys. If you think I'm going to smoke some fucking weed on this podcast, you got another fucking thing coming. We're going to drink. Y'all can kiss my ass. Y'all can blow it all around me all you want.

Oh, damn. Turn that shit off. What is that? It's a weed pistol. I don't want to know. It's a weed machine. I don't want to call it a gun because we grew out of that shit. So it's a weed machine.

Why is that necessary? It's a weed dispenser. Yeah, it's like that. When did you escalate to there when was that not enough when did you go the blend is really pissing me off we need a we need a a machine gun imagine the next level to shoot an unnecessary amount of weed in the fucking air. And if you got that, why is he rolling weed? What is that?

Then he goes back to Kindle. Yeah. Then he goes back to Kindle. I love it. He goes back to Kindle. He goes back to Kindle. So, Kev, what is your favorite? Is stand-up or making movies? Nothing will ever beat stand-up. Excuse me?

Nothing will ever beat stand-up. Nothing will ever beat stand-up. No. Stand-up comedy, that's what I am. It's who I am. It's who I am. That's what made me. That's what created any and every opportunity that I've ever had. It starts with the stage.

It starts with that microphone. Is it the energy you get from the crowd in that moment? It's a relationship. I feel like it's like DJing when we, as a DJ, we're on stage and it's that energy that they tapped in. You know what it is, man? It's layered. It's the energy that they tapped in. You know what it is, man? It's layered. It's the energy.

It's the reaction. It's the honesty. You've seen my life. You've seen my life grow and go through stand-up. The good, the bad, the ugly. You've seen me in some way, shape, or form presented through stand-up comedy. And that's valuable. that's very important you know that's my therapy that's my that's my thing that's my drug I I need it and the fact that I

have a relationship with this fan base that has grown over the course of the years that now is global it's something that own. I can do it when I want. I can stop when I want. I can do intimate shows. I can do big shows. You do intimate shows? Absolutely. Because that's something

that's amazing. I think, I see Cypher Sound to the left and I remember me seeing you go to Cypher Sound's show. I believe it's

the comedy cellar in New York. No, Cypher now has a comedy cellar. Cypher started off at Caroline. Shout out to Cypher. I didn in New York. No, Syfe now has a comedy seller. Syfe started off at Caroline. Shout out to Syfe. I didn't see it. Right, right.

Syfe is a great dude, a good dude. But I remember when Syfe started to embrace comedy while being in the world of radio. And Syfe started off doing the, I think it was Caroline's,'s we had a night and they were doing something and then it progressed And then as he got more serious with it that relationship grew and then he was at the Comedy Cellar around the corner You know recently I seen you. I don't know how recent it was. I know within the last year You just jumped on stage. Yeah, and I'm just sitting there like as a as a platinum artist Mm-hmm. Sometimes I wouldn't do that Like I wouldn't go to like a show and just jump on.

But I noticed that about you, Chappelle's and- But that's how comedians work material. That's my point I'm trying to get to. Because wouldn't you just do like, because I'm all over the place. During the pandemic, you also had, you practiced your special. You didn't have pizza though. But you practiced your special. You didn't have pizza though.

But you practiced your special. You gave us all COVID tests. It was real. It was real. It was real. This is smack dead in a minute. You remember, you remember you had this shit

and you walked around and you asked questions after this shit. You said, yo Nori, did you like this part? My man was there. He was laughing so crazy. You remember that time?

He was laughing crazy. You had to look and say, is he okay? I'm going to tell you what it was. So let me get to my point before you say that so why why as a comedian why would you go put yourself in the public like that when you could do things like what you did with that private session where you have you your homies and they could critique it why choose to go out there and do that all right so my process is extremely different. And I'm committed to this thing that I feel that works, right?

And the thing that works is the work. In comedy, you can't cheat the work. When you do cheat the work, it's going to come out of your final product some way, shape, or form. Like T.I. couldn't just come in and just sell out an arena. He got to start from the checkers circuit. You just got to understand it. You got to really embrace the idea of what makes a set a set.

What makes a joke a joke? Jokes come in threes. There's a beginning, middle, and an end. Same thing with the set. Beginning, middle, and an end. What's my beginning? What's the middle, and how do I finish? This is all things you have to think what story am i telling all these things are questions that you got to ask yourself before really getting into it um that process well it starts at the comedy club that comedy club sometimes is 15 people 20 people 30 people by the way that comedy club is when you started that that comedy club is when you started that. That comedy club is what you were in that helped you get the break.

So if you get the break and got the breaks after and you don't go back to the roots as to how it started, well, that means that you're forgetting the real process. So after every stand-up special, that material gets thrown out. It's deleted. And I go back to the beginning. So those comedy clubs that you see me go to Those intimate settings It's for me to figure out What the fuck I want to do And those crowds

And those reactions Or non-reactions They're helping me gain balance Until I know how I want to stand So during the pandemic Gotta think We was all bored We was all in the fucking house

And I was like Damn man I can't go on stage There is no world of working out What can I do do how do i figure it out and when they said this is when they had first started letting businesses have small um gatherings small things like outside but nobody can do anything inside so i had uh i had a relationship with a hotel and the hotel was doing like rooftop lunches for 12 people and i said look

don't say anything to the 12 people because i don't want to go and act outside the guidelines but if those 12 people are eating and i just so happen to walk out and do a set for those 12 people they never knew it was coming we're not doing anything wrong right how often can i do that and they said you just want to walk out people you're not promoting a show. I said, absolutely. So literally, people were eating.

And these are not the private sessions you're talking about. No, this is when I first started trying to figure it out during the pandemic. I had no idea. The name of the set was

don't, what was it? Zero fucks, zero fucks given. So I was like, yo, I told my team, I was like, yeah, we're going to go down here. That's crazy.

Let's just fucking figure it out. So people were eating crab legs in their mouth. Yeah, I just come out. What was like, yeah, we're going to go down here. That's crazy. Let's just fucking figure it out. So people eating crab legs in their mouth. Yeah, I'll just come out. What up? This shit is crazy, man. And I just start fucking doing material. Some of it was working,

some of it wasn't. But that was the point. But the point was to figure it out. So during that time, I think we were in like a six-month period. Maybe, matter of fact, I'm going to go significantly less. It was probably like a two and a half three month

period where i like threw that hour set together during the pandemic i was like i just want to give people some shit to fucking watch and do but but i had to go back to the process but i didn't get to go to like the small theater then the 5 000 theater then the big one. Before Special Goals, I'm 180 shows in. My tours are that long. There's a comedy club portion, then there's a small theater portion, then there's a small tier to

a lower level arena, then there's the actual arenas. That's how many tiers I have before I actually put the shit on fucking camera. I'm never going to not stay true to that process. And my mentors,

the guys that I look up to the most that have stayed consistently relevant in their careers. You talk about Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, my brothers, my friends, like my real guys. You gave Chris Rock a goat name? No, Dave said it was I never said it was that was Dave on stage but I gave him a fucking goat because he is a goat and there's the goat smell did the goat not a goat shit

on stage shitty right here as I gave it to him pellets pop pop pop not churning at all not churning at all but it's dope I said Chris don't look down don't fuck up the moment that's what I told him just go with the moment

let's just get the picture picture's gonna be great trust me Chris is gonna be great but those guys are true to the process too they go back to the comedy clubs

it's not a it's not a coincidence that the same names in comedy have been relevant over the course of said years. When you look at the guys and women that you consider the greats, they're there for a reason. When you think about Wanda Sykes, when you think about Rock, Chappelle, when you think about fucking, I mean, goddamn. Paul Mooney.

Seinfeld. Seinfeld. R.I.P. Paul Mooney I mean I can go down a list of names because they respect the process they respect the process they don't cheat the process and there's a there's a strong amount

of comedians that are true to that if you stay true to that you're not going to lose right you're not going to lose because it's something that we control

once again that's the best thing about comedy movies are second god damn I'm going to pour you another shot god damn it I'm going to pour you another shot you're doing so great You're not gonna lose Because it's something That we control Once again That's the best thing About comedy Movies are second God damn I'm gonna pour you Another shot God damn it

I'm gonna pour you Another shot You're doing so great I have a little But guess what I think y'all I'm gonna say I think you guys

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and MeatEater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

That wasn't the one with you and Will Farrell. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's also The Big House, right? No, that's Get Hard.

Get Hard. Hold on. The Big House is, this was my big break. This was supposed to be the fucking thing that launched me. Okay. This was when TGIF Thank God Thank goodness it's Friday

I had a show with Keith David Faison Love Aretha Fuck I'm dropping names Aaron Grady Yvette Brown You know this was my show

I was starring in a show It's a sitcom? Sitcom Starring in a show Writing a show This is it I made it What?

Oh my god I'm about to be rich mom I made it this is it they picked me up quit your job who wouldn't think that right I mean this is it

they picked me up fucking ABC I mean I'm here this is the biggest thing ever you're in the building we filmed a show I think life is about to change and the show gets cancelled

before it gets on air oh shit never even makes air what network is this? This is ABC. This is where, I believe it's ABC. Are we saying fuck ABC?

No. Okay. No, no, no, no. We're not saying fuck ABC. You're not a brand, man. I'm just, you know, I'm just a water. By the way,

because you said that, I just want to say ABC is a valuable partner in the heartbeat. We do amazing business together. There's a media outlet. There's a media outlet. They're very valuable

in our connective tissue, et cetera, et cetera. Okay. The show got canceled before it went on, and it was crushing. This was like the most fucked up shit ever because this was the thing that was supposed to launch me. And after it got fucking canceled, I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do. What's next? And they decided to pick it up a year later, and they aired 60 episodes and canceled it again.

I'm like, all right, well well I guess it is what it is it's gonna be what it's gonna be then Soul Plane came fuck it it's on I got a movie it's about to be my big fucking break

it's on this movie's gonna be the biggest movie ever and then they bootlegged the fuck out of Soul Plane but it worked the bootlegging part worked everything was supposed

to be big but back then getting bootlegged was like that was big like the R. Kelly take was bootlegged you know what I'm saying?

That's not as bad for business. That's too different. Big for the brand. That's two different tapes. Two different tapes. Yeah, we're talking about two different tapes. Soul Plane was up to you on R. Kelly shit. Soul Plane, no.

You fucking have a brand. As much as you can. I don't even want to put those two together. I just want to. I bet you. He's in the right next level. That's how you buy the bootleg. That's how you buy the bootleg The crazy thing about Soul Plane

Is Soul Plane getting bootleg Ended up being the best thing for me In my stand up comedy career Because between that and Paper Soldiers People said oh I know that guy Oh that's the guy from So when I started doing comedy clubs That's how I got a fan base

That's how people started coming to fuck with me They said oh my god that's the guy from So I only got the comedy clubs and that's how I got a fan base. That's how people started coming and fucking with me. You're familiar now. Yeah, they said, oh my God, that's the guy from. So I only got the comedy clubs and the headlining gigs because of Soul Planet and Paper Soldiers. But to be honest,

everything that was supposed to work in the beginning of my career, my sitcom, my big first movie, Paper Soldiers, none of those things

really took off to where the business level of success was identified as successful. The hood, the streets grabbed onto it and the underground was like, okay, this is

dope. And I was just able to go and find work based off of that and that alone. But my real big break didn't come till... What was your real big break, do you think? In your opinion. Paper Soldiers was my biggest break, in my opinion. That's the foundation. That's the foundation. That's the brick. That's the foundation. But what was the brick for the roof?

Soul Plane showed that I can be the lead of a movie, even though the movie didn't work. Because you was a star. Yes. Even though it didn't work, it showed I could be the lead. It did work. The big break. It did work. It worked in my world.

Well, yeah. I'm saying, but the studio, to the movie studios. Right, right, right, right. It bombed. The business side of it. Yes, the business side of it. Yeah, Martha Stewart wasn't filming. I'm going to say 40-Year-Old Virgin.

40-Year-Old Virgin was huge. When you say, you're talking big words. 40-Year-Old Virgin was huge because that, it wasn't written. And Judd Apatow, he was the producer-director. That got me and Judd in a real good space. But after that, the conversation attached to my name changed. And little movies started to happen. And you had on a Jamaican shirt.

Jamaican shirt, yeah. What for? That's what I had on that day. I didn't have wardrobe. You had that shirt on? Yeah, that did not have wardrobe. Oh, that wasn't part of the wardrobe? I showed up that day.

In the Jamaican shirt. And Judd was like, yeah, go ahead, just go ahead. Let's just do something to figure it out. I swore you was going to be like, why grind? No, Think Like a Man was the biggest. Because Think Like a Man was after all this stuff happened Will Packer came Will Packer found me. This is when I was doing

stand up. This is when I was touring. And Think Like a Man was the one where he was like we want you to do this movie it's a big cast around you but it centers around this character. And they set me up to win and I cast I mean god damn man until this day that's probably the most amazing is around his character and they set me up to win and our cast, I mean, God damn, man.

That's, until this day, that's probably the most amazing cast that I've ever been a part of just from a friend standpoint. Fun standpoint, this is Gabrielle Union,

Regina Hall. Think Like a Man. Think Like a Man. Lala Anthony, Rami Malek. Steve Harvey's book. Terrence J. Michael Ely.

Jerry Farrar Gary Owens Filmed in Las Vegas Or New Orleans Taraji We filmed the first one In I want to say

In Los Angeles Yeah the first one was LA First one was Los Angeles Okay But they set me up to win Like that cast That cast was so dope

And Megan Good I don't want to leave Megan out And just allowing me to To hit those punchlines To hit those balls out the park And when that movie came out Then that's when That's when Hollywood

And the other producers Really start going Alright that's going to be the guy So if you think about it I have to think like a man That's when they started To really roll out Right along

Right along too But you know The process you're describing Almost sounds like the stand-up process, but in the movie form. Like starting from a certain level

and moving up, moving up, moving up. Right, right. You're never going to skip to work. I would say, I want to address

a rumor real quick. I apologize. Did you get your answer? They always say there's only one black man that could dominate Hollywood at a time. Do you believe in that theory?

Stupidest shit I ever heard. Okay. I think that narrative has grown because we double down on it at times, like from a vocal standpoint, right? Like when we say it, we repeat it, right? Like how Aries Spears would say, Kevin Hart is dominating and that's it that means that your eyes are closed because just because the things that you see in front of the camera are vivid to you it doesn't mean that's the only thing going on um you know i mean i was working with will packer tim story

myself and ice cube that was four black black men, and we were operating and managing a $70 million budget, I think, for Ride Along 2. Ride Along 1 was probably like $25 to $30, but you're looking at four black men that sat at the top of said project, right? My brother, Will Packer, who was producing and doing tons of shit at the time, right? My brother Will Packer, who was producing and doing tons of shit at the time, right? You can ignore it if you want to, but he was doing phenomenal things in the business. You can go to Chadwick Boseman's career early on. You can go to

Idris early on. You can go to, you know, I'm talking about F. Gary Gray. You can go. There's so many people at the same time that were doing amazing things. Don Cheadle, Chris Rock. Now, granted, does that mean it's enough? No. It doesn't mean that it's enough.

It doesn't mean that it's equal. But there were multiple people of color breaking ground in different ways and you know if we're all trying to get to the place of we do amazing work we do quality work uh we should not only be treated the same but we should be embraced the same right that's the conversation well you can't you can't close your eyes on obvious key moments where you should embrace right right? I mean, like, that's something that I've seen happen a lot. By being a guy who's been breaking the ground for quite some time. I mean, you're talking about international comedies. There was a conversation attached to,

there's no way that comedy travels internationally, especially with a black lead. Well, I didn't double down on it. I just forced studios to allow me the opportunity. And my movies are international. They're global, right? Like, from a box office standpoint, they were. From a streaming standpoint, they are.

I had got to the globe. I got to the world. I'm given the opportunity. And in doing that, well, you pull other people there with you. F is my director and live. Packard comes on as a producer for a sad thing. You do it in a way to where you're constantly embracing and uplifting and navigating in a way to where

you're changing the conversation that you're just getting tired of hearing. So the idea of it can only be one at a time, that's like saying you can only be one headliner or one fucking, one great comic touring at the same time right now chris dave

and myself are on tour at the same time all of our shows are sold out right all of them sold out it doesn't have to be one it can be multiple right there's enough out there for everybody but there's and i talked about it on another podcast that i did you know there's this thing within our culture of just we always want to act as if it can be only one even in the even in the if you think about it, right? It's who's the greatest? Granted, that conversation should happen. You should.

It's a great competitive thing to speak of and talk about. But if you really want to double down on it, well, the people that are in that conversation are all fucking great. Let's not disrespect one by putting the great or the goat thing just on one like no it's kind of kind of multi-layered when you get down to it you start to break down these resumes of everybody underneath so from a from a a black man standpoint the business has changed significantly. The opportunities that you see that are being given out to the world of multicultural, right? Like, there's a significant diversity,

like, visual now in Hollywood. Like, it's a priority. People are working on it and they know that they have to check that box. Granted, we're still working towards getting into a space where it's equal, but there has been some growth. There has been some change. So as a guy that's seeing it, as a guy whose company represents it, I'm a part of the conversation of positive on a standpoint. And that's because I know that I'm doing my part in creating opportunities and being an example.

I know that Tyler Perry is. I know that Oprah is. I know that, like there's so many people that have been but we choose to ignore at our convenience. Tyler Perry has been

fucking putting people of color and starring roles and positions for how long now? And been killing it too because it took me a long time to realize that that's a man, that Madea's a man. What are you talking about? It took you a long time to realize that that's a man, that Madea's a man.

What are you talking about? It took you a long time to figure that out. I thought Madea was Madea, man. I thought it was two different people. I wondered why I didn't see Madea accept the award.

You know what I'm saying? You're being honest. That's how good he did it, though. TP does not get enough credit. TP has driven the economy in the world of entertainment and Hollywood studio perspective in Atlanta for so long. He's solely responsible for black jobs. When you talk about transportation, catering, when you talk about crew, when you talk about gaffers.

I mean, that whole economy goes around creating content. T.P. has made it a priority Right To embrace and uplift But when you say We gotta give him A better nickname The TP though Tyler Perry Yeah but no no

I'm thinking of toilet paper Why you thinking of toilet paper man Cause he shitting on you He shitting on me Cause he shitting on people Why are you shitting on me That's who it is But Tyler

Tyler's a real deal Yeah he's a real deal But let's give him His flowers man Cause you know We don't know if you know But our show is about Giving people their flowers Now

Now Everyone wants to give people Their flowers But we started this We invented this Because you know what It don't take nothing away from me To give somebody else

Their props And guess what It actually adds on to me When it comes to you When it comes to you Kevin Hart It adds on to me Because you are

Those flowers don't die Hands down One of the funniest men on the goddamn planet. I have arguments about you and everything. I don't care. I don't mind. I didn't like when you went to Clubhouse. Okay. And you went on and you was like, it was a Clubhouse. Yeah, I didn't like this. It was a clubhouse there was a clubhouse right

this is my clubhouse I'm not on no no no clubhouse but as a clubhouse with clubhouse heavy we didn't want to be old, right? Yes. So all of us put on our Beijing, all of us put on our Beijing, and we got, we went to clubhouse. You put your Beijing for clubhouse? I don't have Beijing. It's not visible, man.

In my mind, it is. So listen, I got a haircut and everything. So listen, we went to clubhouse, and then it was a, it was a, it was a clubhouse,

whatever, and they were saying, Kevin Hart is not funny. I was so offended because I feel like you're my friend, and I feel like you are one of the funniest men. And I felt like it was just a hating room. But then as I'm getting on, I get a phone call, and then my boys is just texting me. They're like, you'll never believe this. And I'm like, what are you talking about?

Because I'm about to go in there and just rap for you. I'm about to throw my career away. I'm going to say some fucked up shit. And they're like, you'll never believe this. I'm'm like, what are you talking about? Because I'm about to go in there and just rep for you about, I'm about to throw my career away. I was going to say some fucked up shit. And they're like, you never believed it. I'm like, believe what? They're like, Cav is in there. I'm going to hold on to the phone and go like, hold up. There's no way Cav is in there. They're like, Cav, what the fuck did you go into

a room? You are... Let me give you another shot. You're only... I'll say this, right? Like, you can be unbothered for a long time, right? And even when you're unbothered, you don't have to get bothered, but you can get annoyed. Annoyed, yeah.

At just, like, common sense drops, right? And in this, I remember in our group chat, we were talking and we were listening to it. You're hearing people, and by the way, this is the world we live in today. You're hearing people speak with such confidence

about things that they have no idea about or don't know. Just talking and there's so much passion and conviction. Everybody has knowledge expert opinion Everybody has Everybody has knowledge Without having no experience

No understanding Right And In this time I remember we were Fucking We were in We were in

We were chilling I was like fuck it I'm gonna get on I'm gonna get on Okay but how does this happen Somebody call you and say Kev I group chat Plays a couple

Someone soup you up Like yo you gotta get on no there's no suit me up this is me on my own i got if anything they're the complete opposite they're just don't be a dickhead again they're too late i'm in boys like this is one of those things and i remember it got it got debaty because i was i was like um I was like, do you guys understand, like, do you understand how things change

and how people change? You know that nothing stays the same. It ended up becoming a debate. With the people? Yeah, like in the clubhouse thing. And it was like too late. Like once I realized

I shouldn't be having this conversation, it was just idiotic. It was like too late. I'm in it now. Because you know the guys that's in that room, they pack bags at Pathmark. know that right like even even if

they don't right like that means nothing to me i'm not i'm never going to take the shots at the people and look at you and look at me that's not what i know i know i have no i have no interest in that there's no win for me in doing that it's more about respect that it's more about like, people sometimes have a hard time processing growth. And it's on different tiers. Some friends can't understand why a friend chooses not to fuck with us when we do certain things. They can't understand that that friend made the choice to grow and no longer do said thing because that thing isn't good for me. Some friends go, you a bitch. You a pussy.

And they give you the thing to make you feel bad about. You're now new. Right? In life, or in any changes, there's a world of negativity that comes with that change sometimes. So when I was trying to explain to people, I was like, yo, progression means that you change what you change because there's value and reason in why you change. The funny that I used to be may not be the funny that fits my now. My business is what drives a certain thing for me. The business is what I need to grow because the star is already there.

I want the business to catch up to the star. So ultimately, your idea of what funny is or the raw, edgy road of it, well, it doesn't bring me the same family endorsements that I needed to get to this thing. It doesn't bring me

the same perception that I need to make sure these family movies hit. It doesn't bring me this wheelhouse of world and wonder to check every box. So you don't realize it, but Kevin Hart has done animation.

Kevin Hart has done action comedy, regular comedy, drama, fucking author. He's a radio host. He's just a regular host. I check every box. Let's make some noise for that guy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So the only way you check those boxes is by having a high level of authenticity that's attached to the world that those things bring.

Right? If you don't do that, then why would you sit and listen to me? Why would you sit and watch? Why would you want to see? If you don't have authenticity attached to things, if you don't believe that I drank the shit, why would you buy it? If you don't believe that it's good by me making you feel that it's good because you see me with it, then why would you support it? Everything I've done, you've seen me partake've done so why did you go on that chat room because i went in there because i wanted to hear i wanted to really hear you without jumping in but but i made the mistake

of getting in and then getting into the debate and by that time it's too late and by the way i want to say clearly i made the mistake right and i remember after that, I didn't go back. I was like, there's no win for me in this. And without the mistakes, well, you don't know the world of right to wrong. So, yeah, it's stupid. Yeah, it's something that I'm not the

happiest about that I did, but I never went back after. So, a lesson was learned in that, and just why am I ever going to debate with people about something that they're never going to be able to... Let's go ahead and say fuck Clubhouse.

Well, no. No, I can't say that. I can't say that. By the way, I want to see Clubhouse do amazing things. Okay? Please.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win. Win here? I'm an owner. That made you jump in. That's why you're playing around. I'm a fighter. Let's just be clear. That's the only reason why Jay-Z is on Twitter spaces. You see Jay on...

He's a smart man. He's on Twitter too? That's the only time he's on Twitter. He's a smart man. What do you mean? He just told you if you listen to his last song, he's talking to you about the world of steak. He's talking to you about the world of investment and cap tables his conversations change he got some people that look down on him because his conversations have changed but his

conversations have changed for the better it's not for the worse and he has the best champagne in the world so sometimes listen sometimes you either understand that or you don't. I come from a space now where I understand that doors open and behind those doors are other doors. I'm the guy that wants to keep opening up the doors

and I'm going to be with the people that get them open. That's it. It's that simple. You know what it is? People don't seem to understand that evolution...

Number five? Am I on number five? Yeah, you're good. Evolution is authenticity. As you evolve, that is your authentic self evolving as well. And people don't ever want to understand that. Absolutely. Yes.

I have no problem with the world of growing. Because as you grow, that means that the people around you are growing as well. Right. So I believe that your success is best seen through the success of others. So how many people around you are successful? Right so how many people around you successful are successful how many people around you have different tiers or different levels of success when there's a high number of that then that's your win yeah you spank bathroom last night he asked me number one or number two i said damn nigga spank yeah spank got a dressing room he Yeah, Spank got a long dressing room. He out here, man. Love Spank. Spank is a funny, talented guy, man.

I can't wait for the world to truly get a dose of him in his entirety, man. He's nowhere near done. I watch his Netflix special. He's hard. He's good. We say he's hard. He's hard. He's hard.

He's hard. I mean, that's what we say over there. He's hard. He's good. They all are. Naeem, Joey, all of them, man. All of them. All of them.

Motherfuckers are good. Yes, yes. Okay, so now this is now when the real interview starts. You doing quick time? It's quick time with Slime. Okay. This is now, we want to explain you the rules. He's like, why are you looking at your phone, man?

Tell him what time it is. This is like Las Vegas. We don't have no clocks around. All right. Okay. So, you can pick one or the other, but be politically correct and pick both, and you take a shot. But we take a shot with you.

We don't leave you out there on your own. We all get ridiculous. So I take one of the other means. The politically correct answer is a shot. Yeah. It's a shot. So you have to go with your heart. This is what we're trying to say.

So if he got to give you the truth, or I say I'm going to take a shot. Because I don't want to fucking get in trouble. So on top, I don't know what you're going to pick. So I'm going to give you the first one. Are you ready? OK. Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor? I'm going to take a shot you're going to pick. So I'm going to give you the first one. Are you ready? Okay. Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor? I'm going to take a shot.

Yes, take a shot. Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor? Do I get to explain the answer? You can explain. Or you can just take a shot. Either or. I mean, look, this goes into what I said earlier with the conversation of goats, right?

Like, one doesn't take away from the other, right? You're not going to tell me that Richard is better than Eddie or Eddie is better than Richard. You can't do that because they're both fucking great. Sounds like a shot to me. No, no, no. I'm going to give you a good answer. But I'm going to put Richard before Eddie.

Because he came before Eddie. Not just because he came before Eddie. That didn't sound right. Hold on. Not just because he... Jesus Christ, man. Not because he came before Eddie. That didn't sound right. Not just because he... Jesus Christ, man. Not because he started before Eddie.

But you did in a weird way. Richard was ahead of his time. Yes, he was. And Richard being ahead of his time, Richard made the world of that raunchy comedy with truth, he made it normal. like richard richard talking about being on cocaine talking about right right like his true self and and and getting to that that raw place of honesty you know my grandmother was a hoe all that all that shit there like

you know it wasn't raised in the past mainstream too that right you know he did in a way to where people laughed and normalized hearing like hearing that so for that I'm gonna say Richard Richard because Eddie Eddie came up raw after Eddie would say Richard Eddie of course he would of course he would. Of course he would. Okay. Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence? Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence? Just take a shot. No, man. I'm going to fucking answer him.

These aren't bad answers. If I don't have to drink anymore, I'm going to try my best to not do it. We got a recovery drink for you. Fuck, man. Okay. Martin is so dope because Martin is responsible.

I'm going to have to say Martin here's why. Martin is responsible for the careers of so many that were able to go on and be headliners and make real money

at the Def Jam. Right? This is not a talent answer in my opinion. I'm putting Martin above Chris because Martin shifted the culture in comedy. If Martin

hugged you at the Def Jam, if Martin put his arm around you at the Def Jam, if Martin called you back out at the Def Jam, opportunities came to that person because of that. If Martin said, that motherfucker was funny,

y'all stop playing and give it up, one of the baddest, like if he said that, if Martin verbalized that, it's along the same lines of Jimmy Carson back in the day. They said, if Jimmy told you to sit on the couch, oh my God.

Johnny, Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson, I'm sorry. If Johnny Carson told you to sit on the couch, I was mad confused. Yeah, Johnny. He was called Jimmy back in the day. I was like, who the fuck is Jimmy? They said. If Johnny Carson told you to sit on... I was mad confused. Yeah, Johnny. Nah, but he was called Jimmy back. I was like, who the fuck is Jimmy? They said, if Johnny invited a comic to the couch, it was huge.

Right, that changed everything for that comic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That made me weird. Martin Lawrence and Def Jam... Did that. ...and that wave, Def Jam was too big for comedy. Martin was too big to comedy. And I don't feel like he gets talked about enough.

I don't feel like people fucking understand how great Martin Lawrence is and was. So I put him above Chris simply because of that. You know, on a comic basis. How many careers might have been made by that? Yeah, on a comedy basis. We're talking about something different where it would shift to Chris. But if we're going about who I would put, I'm going culture shifting, his world and what he represented for comedy, and his prime, Martin Lawrence. We respect that. Jay-Z or Nas?

Jay-Z or Nas? I mean, look, I'm going to answer these questions. You can't know. I'm not taking a shot if I don't have to fucking take a shot. Because there's no disrespect to the other artists. These are logical answers. I'm still in the clear thinking space.

And you know why? You know why I'm in a clear thinking space? Because Grant Cormino is not a tequila that puts you in a bad place, right? Grand Cormino... Sip it.

You ain't got to take a shot. No, Grand Cormino is a tequila where you can have all your faculties and enjoy yourself. Oh, shit. Otherwise known as the Nino Nino.

You can still be smart. Well, you're smart regardless because people should not refer to themselves as dumb. Yeah, I'm in a good space. All right, okay. He's on it. I'm going to say Hove

for... for... Hove simply because it's bigger than rap and even in... even now with it being bigger than rap and realizing all of these

done and all like his levels of success like he's still of success, like, he's still, oh my God, he's still figuring out ways to do shit. Right. Fucking recreate himself

in business. This, that. He's still rapping. The high level. At the high level. At that level, bro.

Maybe the highest. Not that Nas isn't, by the way. Right. Nas' last album was fucking amazing. Nas absolutely is. Let's give Nas a smile.

Let's make sure we make this very clear. Nas is Nas. But you cannot fucking shy away from what Hov is now still releasing. Hov is rapping as if he's in his fucking prime at this level. So I'm never going to fucking go at this level. So, I'm never going to fucking go against

the grain. I mean, any rap conversation that doesn't involve Hov isn't a real rap conversation. Like,

he's the definition of rap. Right. Point blank. That's beautiful. That's what I'll say. And I love the story of you jumping on the jet

and not chipping in. Oh, when I made him pay for the jet. Yeah. Made him pay for the jet. Yeah. Made him pay for the jet. Yeah. I was going to fly on a plane myself.

And I called him. He's like, yeah, you going to the game? I said, yeah. You going? He said, yeah. I said, what time you going? He said, 12. I said, I was going to, too.

I'm just going to fly with you. He said, yeah, all right, cool. I said, all right, but I'm not paying. He's like, I didn't ask you to Alright, but I'm not paying. He's like, I didn't ask you to. I'm just making it clear, I'm not. And I was like, and we just went. A great guy, that's my brother.

Brotherhood mentor. Here, I don't know where you're going to go with this one. Tupac or DMX? This feels like you should endorse your product Right now Yeah we should drink a shot Are you

It's already poured I know that I'm just trying to think of This right now There's no way Out of this one This is one where I'm going to have to

Like, are you saying? It's whatever it means to you. It's whatever it means to you. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying, are you talking, like, boy, like. No, we're not talking about anything. Whatever in your mind. It's okay.

We're going to do little ones. Look at that. That's a little one. Wait a minute. I didn't take it. Just give me a second. Okay, all right, all right. Let's take a quick shot for this one.

Here's what I'm going to say. No, I don't have it, just give me a second. Okay, alright, alright. Let's take a quick shot for this one. Here's what I'm going to say, no, I don't have to right now. I'm going to say, first of all,

both of my brothers, like this is like, yeah. Let's go on and take a shot. Let's go on

and take a shot. Let's go on and take a shot. It's getting there. I feel my face starting to change. You want to say fuck this shit? No, I feel my face starting to change. This is where it comes right now.

We've been living off of old episodes, so we are glad to come out of retirement for you. You about to get something good

in a minute. Okay. You about to make that turn. Yeah, about to make that turn. Let me tell you another fucking thing.

In light of Philadelphia, Meek Mill or Freeway? I think both amazing, but I'll say Meek Free's my guy too But Meek is Meek has done A lot more from

You know just from a Album perspective Album? Album Album I said album I heard a G in there somewhere I heard a G in there somewhere

I'm not flubbing yet His album was good too Once I start flubbing I'll leave I'll flub and leave What'd you say? I'll leave. I'll fucking leave. Do what you say. I'll go Meek there.

No shots to free Freestyle Amazing Artist, but I'll say Meek. Okay. Coming to America or Harlem Nights? Harlem Nights. Fast. Because I heard you

was going to remake Harlem Nights. I wanted to for a long time. Eddie is... Eddie ain't fucking with you? Eddie didn't like me. To be fucking with you? Eddie didn't like... To be honest with you, Eddie didn't...

He liked my idea, but he was like, I'm not... He's like, me being... Because my idea was like, they have kids. Eddie got kids?

My idea was like, those guys... From Harlem Nights. From Harlem Nights had kids. And it's the younger generation. And that generation is now in Harlem. So what do you think he wasn't fucking with? It was age.

He was like, how am I going to play that age difference? Because he thinks he's still young. No, I mean, when I pitched the rough idea and concept, it was, but it would be harder to pull off. It's basically like, look, it's the idea of moving and navigating in a generation of, let just say like five six years ago right and still doing the work that they were doing that business that is mafia like business right but based off of what i knew my dad did but the sons of those people and the only reason why i

want to do something like that is because I just want Something that can get Us together I want to get us all Together I would love to see you Mike Epps Little Duval We're gonna do it

Me and Mike Me and Mike Are in a great place now Man it took It took a long time Cause y'all were shaky at one point Me and Mike were real shaky I felt like it was

Brown skin Dark skin Beef going on Nah Nah me and Mike And you know I'm in between Both of y'all Brown skin and dark skin I'll be going to both meetings I'll go to the brown skin meetings And I'll go to's brown skin, dark skin beef going on. No, no, me and Mike just... And you know, I'm in between both of y'all, brown skin and dark skin.

I'll be going to both meetings. I'll go to the brown skin meetings and I'll go to the dark skin meetings. And they let you in both? They don't let me in the dark skin meetings. I don't like it. We were... Can you get me in the dark skin meetings?

No. No. Me and Mike were heavy on the side. Me and Mike, we didn't fuck with each other. We made that decision. And, you know, I think to the credit of both of us both of us, you look up and we realize our age. And it's like, look, this is doing nothing. There's no value in this.

If anything, we're cheating the world of an opportunity to. But where did that problem even start? I don't even want to get into it. Okay, you don't have to. It's too much of unnecessary. That's what you asked rappers at one point. No, it's not rappers. It's unnecessary.

That's rapper shit. And I think the now... No, rapper shit is more stupid. Ours wasn't as stupid. You know I'm here. Yeah, y'all shit is more stupid. Ours wasn't as stupid, but it just built and grew over time.

But I like the fact that as grown men, we figured out a way to talk, and we're in a good space. I explained to him I want to have that thing where we're on screen together. Why would we not have that moment?

As much as I've done, or as much as I'm doing, I've never done that. And I was like, you know, for us to figure out a way to do that, to sit at the table and, you know, sit as equals and fucking figure it out would be dope. So, you know, look, if there's a world where I can get a Mike, a fucking Chris, a Dave, a Kat to the table, a Sed, a fucking Chris, a Dave, Kat to the table, a Sed, a Steve. Because that's probably the only person that could have played

Wesley Snipes' character is probably Mike Epps. Mike is a good actor. Yeah. Throughout all of our shit. He did cocaine before in his life. Throughout all of our shit.

You know what I'm saying? The way he act, you know that cocaine movement? I've never. He got it down pat. I've never fucking. Come on. I'll say this though.

Throughout all of our problems, I've never shit I'll say this though throughout all of our problems I've never shit on his talent Mike is a is a funny guy Mike is a talented actor he's a he's a fucking

amazing talent so you know for us now to be in a good space um I think it's dope as fuck and I'm and we will we will do

something today for sure but I love I love that you know I'm a man of peace. Okay. Friday or half-baked? Friday.

Friday. Half-baked is great. Friday's a bigger culture driver. You know, Friday's a... And Friday also put... Once again, I go to the world of amplification. It puts so many people on. You know, when you look at Chris Tucker,

when you look at John Witherspoon, when you look at Chris Tucker, when you look at John Witherspoon, when you look at Samore, Mike Epps, when you look at Don D.C. Curry, when you look at

Bruce Bruce, Ricky Smiley, you know, these are all names. Ronaldo Ray, R.P. I mean, those are so many names.

Ice Cube. Shout out to Ice Cube in general. Ice Cube for that. Ice Cube is a guy who not only loves comedy, but he's been an advocate for the world of career

he's provided a platform to where comedy careers could go on and progress and once again when you talk about comedy these conversations get lost people don't highlight it as much as they should when you think about the ones that are at the helm,

the Martin side of it, all of those names, all those Def Jam names that were big, they came from that hug, but then after that, then Ice Cube was like, oh shit, I saw him here. Come do these things. It was like a passing of a time. So a lot of careers came from

this street. This street where I'm a fan of you. I'm a fan of you. Oh, fuck. Martin love Q. Q love Martin. I'm watching you, man. Do as dope as fuck.

I'm trying to do this shit. The shit that I did, all he did was take, he took the thing and Martin showed the work. Look at House Party. Look at all these other things. That was Kid and Play developing this movie. But look at the people around that were in that movie. It's beautiful. If you go back and you look at these times, look at all these other things that was kid and play developing this movie, but look at the people around that were in that movie. It's beautiful.

If you go back and you look at these times, you'll... Shout out to House Party, man. House Party was great too. That was huge, man. Movies at the old. Let's do a House Party over.

They already are doing one. They are? Yeah. They've done a couple. Spring Hill. LeBron's company. Spring Hill, LeBron. Yeah, LeBron's doing one.

All right. Shout out to Spring Hill too. Doing amazing things. Another black owned company. Oh, Spring Hill, LeBron. Yeah, LeBron's doing one. All right. Shout out to Spring Hill, too. Doing amazing things. Another black-owned company. Driving the narrative in media, changing... Midda? Media.

Maybe he said midda. Maybe he said midda, bro. Media. But they're doing great shit, man. Amazing production. Amazing IP they're developing. And it's great to see. So, shout out to them, too.

Big them up. Rocky or Creed? Creed. I say Creed because Rocky was amazing, still is amazing. Sylvester Stallone

is who the fuck he is but where he really becomes a genius is to come back in fucking 15 years or however long it was and make that IP relevant again. He came back and said, yeah, I don't want to do nothing else,

but I did the Rocky, but Rocky this time is going to be about Creed's son. He stayed in the same storyline and was able to take something else and get a part one and part two out of. By the way. Which he created, right? Which he created. That's Sylvester Stallone. But he doesn't own the original Rocky, does he?

No, I don't think he owns it I think he made He made good deals On the later ones I'm not sure he owns it But I think in the Creed ones He made some more Lucrative deals for himself

But To go develop After that thing existed For so long 20 years Yeah exactly That's pretty fucking amazing And I say Creed

Because once again Highlighting Amplifying Put Michael B. Jordan on And Michael B. Jordan held his own amazing. And I say Creed because once again highlighting, amplifying, put Michael B. Jordan on and Michael B. Jordan held his own and now Michael B.

Jordan has a franchise under his belt, right? Like that didn't have to happen. So through the love of Sylvester Stallone, he got

to Creed. I say Creed because of, you know, I think it was a better movie. I think it was a doper movie, but I like that

opportunities were given off of it. I love that. Dave Chappelle or Jamie Foxx? What do you mean? He said Dave Chappelle or Jamie Foxx. What do you mean? You talking acting? You talking comedy?

No, it's whatever it is. No, it's whatever it is. Whatever is in your mind. It's stand-up comedy, Dave Chappelle. Okay. All right, there you go. David Chappelle was the most. Cheat sheet.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person

discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide, and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

AT&T, Connecting changes everything. Okay. Queen Latifah or MC Lyte? I just took a shot. Are you talking about rapping?

Whatever you want, sir. Set it off in this motherfucker. I don't know. Whatever you want, sir. I'm off in this motherfucker. I don't know. Whatever you want, sir. I want to go and say Queen Latifah because I feel Queen Latifah is still finding new ways to reinvent, recreate, and do. MC Lyte still works and does stuff. Yes.

She's an amazing voice for so much. BET, award shows, specials, any award show uses MC Lyfe. She's become the voice of God for so many. And that doesn't mean actually God. It's a reference used when dealing with award shows, et cetera. But Queen Latifah is just still acting. I know she just released a movie on Netflix.

She's still producing. She's doing so much. Ludacris, you talked about your special. Yes, Queen Latifah. I want to say Queen Latifah. Okay. The movie's actually kind of good. To the end?

To the end? I ain't going to lie. Why don't people do that? The movie's actually kind of good. You know what? Let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that. The movie is actually great.

But here's what I mean when I say why don't people do that. The movie is actually great. Here's what I mean when I say why do people do that. Okay. If you liked the movie, you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Seriously. So the movie's good to you. It's great. If you leave up

a window or an inkling for somebody to infiltrate your suggestion of what it is by going, it's kind of good you know you're like like they'll get into your shit i'll tell you why if it was good for you just say it was good just the reason why like i don't read my own comments okay like if i post something i don't read what people say about me but i read what people say about other people do you honestly care?

Sometimes I do. I can't lie to you. You really care? No. Sometimes. What? Care. I want you to... No, no.

Take a second. Take a second right now. Look. Do I care? You're drinking. Take a second to process that. Do you really care? Sometimes I do.

I can't lie to you. Like, sometimes... Like, there was a meme that said, most people see a person across the street, and they say that the person across the street don't like them. So they say most people want to go over there and say, why you don't like me?

And then I believe 50 posted this, and 50 said, I'm the guy that says I don't give a fuck why the people across the street don't like me. I am not that guy. I'm actually the guy that I want to know why. But why do you across the street don't like me. I'm not that guy. I'm actually the guy that I want to know why. Why do you skip the logic? Why do you skip

the common sense logic? Of what part? What does that change in your life? What do they change in your life? What do those comments that you read change?

I'm going to be honest. Do you have Twitter? Yeah, I have everything. Okay, Twitter. I'm sorry, I'm fucking. Twitter might be. Twitter'm going to be honest. Do you have Twitter?

No, I can't. No, you have to. A little bit. A little something. I'm going to say Missy, man, because you can't deny Missy Elliott's legendary stance, his music, hip-hop in general. Absolutely. Because you can't deny it. But Eve is a fucking force of nature and Philadelphia loves her.

I'm going to say it. No, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't fucking say it. I'm going to black thought, and here's why. Okay. I'm going to black thought for the fact. The fact.

This is a fact. This is a super fact. The roots, the name of the roots, is significant to hip hop in general. Yes, it is. Facts. And from the roots, you also have names that- Questlove. Yes. You have names that... Questlove. Yes.

You have names that people go, oh, shit, yes, I know. And these names have went on to do amazing things on so many different levels, right? When you think about a group, when you think about a band, you forget what a band is, what a band does. The roots have stayed true to that. And the fact that Black Thought As a lead singer As the The He's one of the

In hip hop period By the way One of the best He's never left his foundation Right He's still with his foundation Great point So I'm going to say

Black Thought Simply for the fact that His foundation Is what it is And he's been true to that thing So shout out to him For being an example Of why we as

philadelphians are different wow god damn makes noise for you yeah most dev i love you uh and i know you don't go about most stuff anymore yassin yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes no i love you uh but i think my answer was good enough for you to understand. All right, come on. Let's go. Will Smith or Ice Cube? Mmm. Think we are.

What up? We got shots ready. Nope, I don't need them. Dark times deserve fucking great light. I'm not going to shit on my brother. Which one? Because they both your brother. They both are my brothers, but I'm not going to shit on my brother. Which one? Because they both your brother. They both are my brothers,

but I'm not going to take the time to shit on them. I'm going to say Will Smith, and here's why. Whoa. Will Smith is a fucking, he's not only a legend, he's not only a GOAT. We now know he's a gangster.

Philly. Philly is where? We now know he's a gangster. Well, that doesn't mean he's a gangster. That doesn't mean he's a gangster. Just throw it out there. The Philadelphia game out there.

Those are your words, not mine. Those are your words. Philly against Brooklyn. Philly 1-0. Will Smith. Come on, bro. Brooklyn didn't know it was coming. Will Smith.

Will Smith is the reason why the idea of African Americans attached to global IP is normal. When you say IP, is it intellectual property? People that don't know. Shit that's owned. Studios took the gamble on more leads of color

because of the work that Will Smith, Denzel were doing in the beginning. You need the faces that Will Smith, Denzel were doing in the beginning, right? Like, you need the faces that are getting universal return. So I'm not going to shit on Will and act like he hasn't been and wasn't that guy. I'm going to go Will Smith. And people make mistakes. And from mistakes, they should be allowed time to fucking recover.

And Will's a legend, man. He's a legend. Absolutely. Hands down. And this is no longer the world's problem. It's's a legend, man. He's a legend. Absolutely. Hands down. In that this is no longer the world's problem. It's Will and Chris's problem. Let them deal with that.

The world should step out of it. But let me just ask you, as a married man, when he said, keep your name, my name, on your wife's mouth, part of you was like,

word up, right? Keep it real. She's right over there. You gotta say yes. I mean, there. You got to say yes. I don't have to say yes. I think there's no world where a wife that's with a man doesn't know the level of respect that her man demands for her and wants for her. That's right. That had nothing to do with that.

That's the world talking. I think that's something Deeper than Anybody will ever understand And that's why I said The world is now out of it It should stay out of it And move on Let

Let Let Will recover from it Let Chris get back to work As normal And let two men be men And figure that out If they choose to If they do

They do If they don't I feel like we gotta Take a shot for that Wow I'm really not I'm really okay I'm okay Dom for that. Wow, I'm really not... I'm really okay, guys. I'm okay, Dom. I'm not fucked up.

I'm still good. You set yourself up for that one. That one, that was perfectly... But the answers are good. Yes, the answers are great. I'm in a good space. But we gotta take a shot for that. Yeah, let's take a shot for that.

Well, wait. I'm gonna take a shot at answering it. The answer's good. You answered it great. Yeah, I know, but I'm not taking a shot now. It wasn't clear what you answered. Yeah, I was very clear. It wasn't that clear. I'll wait.

You'll wait. It was a little blur. The line's a blur. I'll wait. Okay. This one right here, because you live in L.A., but you're from the East Coast. So this one right here might be a little crazy. NWA or Wu-Tang Clan?

I just feel like you should take a shot. Just because of your... Just because of the geographics. Man, you formulate your answers. I see this. Because you can't just act fast. You have to take a second to think. No, no, no. I appreciate this. Yeah, you have to take a second to think.

Your show isn't a show without great answers. People taking the shots all day is great, but people answering the questions are better. God damn it. I understand. I understand. And we're ready for this great answer. Alright, I'm going to say it.

Is it time? It's time. It's time. I want to say it. The world may not like me from it. Take a shot. I want to apologize to my brother Q before I answer this. Who?

I want to apologize to my brother Q before I answer this. Cube? Cube. Cube Ice Cube, man. He's not picking NWA. NWA is amazing. You cannot deny what they were,

what they did. You cannot deny the history that was made. And by the way, success, once again, is best fucking told through the visuals

of what people were able to do underneath the umbrella. I mean, you look at Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, you look at Cube, amazing careers happen from people under that. But when I think about

the Wu-Tang Clan... You're nothing to fuck with. You think about Old Dirty Bastard, you think about Redman... Old Dirty Cav, right? Little Dirty Cav. Little Captain Bastard. Little Kevin Bastard. Old Dirty, you think about Meth, you think about Redman. It should be the Old Dirty Cav, right? Little Dirty Cav. Little Captain Bastard.

Little Kevin Bastard. Old Dirty, you think about Meth, you think about fucking RZA, Raekwon. The Wu-Tang Clan. Inspector Deck. Inspector Deck, with the exception of Inspector Deck, put out the most solo albums, I think, that I've ever witnessed from a group. And if I'm wrong... You should take a shot for that.

If I'm wrong, then okay. But they put out a lot of solo albums. Yes, they did. From that group. Yes, they did. Everybody got a shot. We can take a shot right now. We should take a shot for that right now.

Wait, J-Up of Daddy? Yeah, you can't do that. Why? What do you mean why? You can't do that. It's disrespectful to both to say who's done better in the world of producing. I would like to see that in Versus. No, that Versus doesn't make sense. It's all to both to say who's done better in the world of producing. I would like to see that in Versus. No, that Versus doesn't make sense.

It's all over the map. Who would Kev verse in Versus? Kev wouldn't verse anybody in Versus because comedy doesn't work in Versus. We could make it happen. How does that make sense? Truffle popcorn. Do the jokes you already know. The world already knows these jokes that's true

alright so we come with new you don't think you don't think you are roast roasting each other that's not a versus then that's napping so you now change that would be the verses well then it's not versus so you change that you're absolutely right but we're making that the versus. You see how specific I am? You're very specific. Yes, because if you talk to me. You're like a lawyer, bro. I'm not a lawyer. I'm a fucking business guy. If we're talking about an IP versus, what makes versus great is that versus is me against

you, my catalog versus your catalog. We're taking that away. That's very true. In comedy, you want me to tell you the jokes you already know versus the jokes that you said that they already know? And you want us to say it again? Are you basically saying you can smoke anybody at versus? you said that they already know and you want us to say it again? Are you basically saying you can smoke anybody

at Versus? I'm saying it doesn't make sense for comedy. But we can bring people from another country that never heard the jokes. It doesn't make sense. It makes a lot of sense.

You can't do comedy with Versus. You can do snapping. Snapping? Snapping would be great. Snap Versus. I just fucking said that. Nobody fucking said anything.

If you do Snap Versus, that's great, but I would never do that. You wouldn't? No. Why? I thought that you and Atheon Crockett

went at it a little bit. We went at it by having fun being like, cool, at this point in my career, I'm not doing a snap verses with nobody. Yeah.

I can't do that. It doesn't make sense. No. It's true. Jesus Christ. It's true. Last Santa Claus. Relax.

I think you guys are fucking drunk. No, we've been drunk. He's definitely drunk. Yeah, we've been drunk he's definitely drunk yeah we've been drunk alright come on let's go let's go close with a bang

As you watch this whole thing As I drink There were no faces There was no bad Taste or bad reaction Yes Fuck man You said Pharrell

Or Or Kanye I don't think the world knows How much Pharrell has done Mmm Mmm Let him know Nuri I don't think the world knows how much Pharrell has done. I don't think they know. I say that to say, like, Kanye's success is highlighted because he's Kanye, and it should be.

He's a fucking genius. He's great. Welcome Kanye in the room. Hold on. Welcome Kanye. But I don't think the world knows how much Pharrell has done. Yes, that's true. I love Pharrell. It doesn't mean I'm choosing Pharrell, but I'm saying that I don't think the world knows how much Pharrell is done. Yes, that's true. I love Pharrell.

It doesn't mean I'm choosing Pharrell, but I'm saying that I don't think the world... Well, even to inspire Kanye. I don't think they know how much he's done. Yes. Like, Pharrell is that guy in that space. I'm going to go Kanye. This is weird. Here's why.

This is weird how you set Pharrell up. Wait, you just set Pharrell, then you said Zagata. I'm going to go Kanye. This is weird. Here's why. This is weird how you said Pharrell. Wait, you just said Pharrell, then you said Zagata. I'm going to be honest. Here's why. Because if I just choose Kanye off the back, it's almost as if, oh, yeah, yeah, no.

So you just went over here and then you just like a fake pump. No, it's not a fake pump. It's to make sure that people understand Pharrell is by far, like Pharrell's not far from the Kanye orifices, right? Did you say orifices?

Yeah. I've never heard this word. The Kanye. No, we've heard this word. The Kanye space, the Kanye thing. You don't like this word, though. All that he's done is glorify, magnify, and it should be. Pharrell, we know about him.

It's great, but sometimes it doesn't get the same volume. I'm just saying, Pharrell's catalog, Pharrell's body of work deserves the same volume. I'm only choosing Kanye because motherfucker's not afraid to stand in the fire. Yeah, he stands right there. He's definitely not afraid of that. Yeah. He's not afraid to stand in the fire. Standing in the fire is sometimes when you do your best work.

And to stand in the fire, he's been able to do that. Some people run. They get in the fire. Oh, my God god it's hot It burns Yeah that's pretty crazy About him too It take a fucking

You are, hands down, one of the funniest people in the world. I go because I claim you as a friend. I claim you as a family member. Absolutely. And when I go out and I see you do something different, I see you do a new movie, I'm the first to support it. I'm the first to stand on the line. And I promote it, but I promote it to my people. Because what you did and what you're doing is remarkable.

And continue to do is remarkable. I love your crew. I love everyone you have around you. Which makes me know that you visualized everything that you did and you applied it. And that's what we want to do. That's what we are doing. Because we do that. We bring all of our crew.

Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. They look like hood niggas. They very professional. No, they're hood niggas. No, they're not that professional. They're not that professional. But they are a family.

But I hired everybody. I hired everybody that I could identify with. We hired everybody, excuse me, that we could identify with. And we have this beautiful chemistry that's happening. Synergy. I'll say this to you guys, alright? And I'm going to leave because I'm going to give you guys a good

punctuation, but listen to what I'm about to say. We don't know what punctuation means. I'm scared about this. Punctuation means a period. Oh, period. Yeah, I'm going to put a good statement on this. Watch this. There's two things, right? First things first. Do I feel safe around your crew no I'm looking up so I'm gonna give it to you fucking I'm giving you a thousand

percent of what I feel it's not the safest looking group You want to take a shot too right And I'll be honest with you I'll be honest with you Maybe they should dress better Alright Like seriously From just a standpoint of like

We're working Whatever A lot of sweatpants and t-shirts Alright By the way it's fine If that's what you want it to be In our environment In your own environment

And I'll embrace it Because I'm here But here's what you wanted to be. In our environment. In your own environment. And I'll embrace it because I'm here. But here's what you have to fall into comfort. Alright. If I'm here, you got to say, why am I here?

Let's go to the why. Everything has a why. Alright, watch how I wrap this up. My why is simple. Well, it's long overdue. Yeah, I got an alcohol and it fits because it's drink tramps and it's fun. But let's get to the real nitty gritty.

You motherfuckers have shifted the culture and conversation. God damn it. Your podcast has now got to a point to where people come, they partake, they participate. Because they know what you say and what you co-sign means something. Right? That means that your voices actually have been amplified to a space to where people look forward to what you say and how you feel I keep talking about success well let's talk about what makes success real success is

when you figure out how to win again rapping and going okay damn I'm not rapping I choose to not do it no more but what else I'm gonna do what the fuck well you chose to grind and then figure out how to win again. So when you win again, it means you're a winner. Motherfuckers don't understand that. It's not about winning once.

It's about winning one, two, three, four, five. It's not about figuring out the first time. It's about figuring out the second, third, fourth, fifth. When you see people that do it at that level, well, they're different. You're in a box by yourself. You're in a box. When you see people

that build companies and sell them and build another one, it's because that's what they do. That's right. They win. So in this particular case, I'm here,

not just out of loyalty to friendship, it's out of the respect and the foundation that you guys have built for me to come on and say, yo, I want to be a part of this thing. It's winning. You're winning, motherfucker. So, like, that's what made you guys. Dream Champs is now a brand.

It's now something that can do so much more. And I hope you guys realize that. I hope, if anything, me coming on here helps you guys understand how valuable this asset is. More importantly, motherfucker, I love you. This is a real relationship. This ain't no dumb shit.

It's a relationship. We have time. We got time and energy. Let me just tell you something. You're a man of your word. Absolutely. You've always been a man of your word. Absolutely. And I love that.

But the fact is, you know, I'm used to people not being a man of their word. Like, you know, I'm used to industry being industry. Yeah. And the further you got in life, the more you... You're about to fucking cry. No, you also embraced me. You're about to fucking cry. You also embraced me. You're about to fucking cry. I remember me seeing you and your wife.

This is when, you know, life hit me hard and then I'm getting back to where I'm at. So I'm on floor seats at the Miami Heat and you're on the other side of the floor seats

and you and your wife and me and my wife is there and you're looking and you're like, man, nigga. You said something to me like nigga you're back and you gave me a five and i'm on the floor seat i'm not i'm not even realizing i'm back but you said that to me and i was just like damn kev is telling me that i'm going back to where i supposed supposed to be. And I took that, and I ran with it.

And I continue to run with it because, like I try to tell you, I'm really being real with you. You helped change my life. You don't know this. But me seeing your success, me seeing your constant going know Going Going to it And then

And then Let me Let me bring up Just Train And you And Hollywood Hino So I'm getting focused Right

He like, yo, by the way, by the way, listen. So this is, where's Hino? Hino not here? I'm sorry, he's not here. Hino, he's not here. Okay, I'm sorry. Let me just describe, let me just describe what happened. I feel bad about this.

Three days in a row. I feel bad. So I'm picking the times where I feel like there's no one gonna be here. He's picking quiet hour times. I'm picking 5 a.m. Yeah. There's some motherfuckers in there with him and they are yelling at each other so much. What's, what's, what's, what's?

And I'm like, why am I here? Like, I don't belong here. And then Kev walked up to me. He's like, what's up, you bitch ass nigga? I'm like, damn. I'm like, Kev. I'm like, Kev, I'm supposed to be the gangster. You're a comedian.

How are you talking to me like this? But I'm by myself, right? The next day, I picked an earlier time. So I think I picked like 8 a.m. the first time. So the next time, I'm like, Hino, let's do 5 a.m. This nigga's there with a sprinter. With this nigga again. And him, them three and Hollywood Hino, I don't like them.

But I didn't say it in a way of like, I was like, get your fat ass in. And he whispered to me. He goes, I just lost 25 pounds. And I said, well, ain't that a bitch We didn't miss a beat But it came and it worked out But bottom line He was in there But my level of support for Nori
