The first thing he said, why these chairs don't raise? Why are these chairs so short? Because you bought the chairs, Kevin. That's right.
Starting point is 00:03:01 And every time somebody comes in and they try to raise the chairs up, the first thing I say is, well, Kevin Hart bought those chairs. He wants everybody to look short like him. Yeah, definitely. That's right. And every time somebody comes in and they try to raise the chairs up, first thing I say is, well, Kevin Hart bought those chairs. He wants everybody to look short like him. Yeah, I definitely, I fucked up. I don't know a better way to say it. You didn't remember
Starting point is 00:03:12 he bought these chairs? No, he didn't. I didn't. He did though. I didn't, but now that I did, I'm going to see if I can get you guys another set.
Starting point is 00:03:18 You actually said, I remember you came in here one time and you was like, you know what I should have did? I should have put my name on the back of these chairs.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah, I'll do that. I'll send another set and put my name on the back, but chairs. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll send another set. I'll send another set and put my name on the back, but I'll make sure they raise. What's going on, guys? Well, Kevin Hart, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I'm here, man, in the building. How are you, brother?
Starting point is 00:03:33 I can't complain, brother. Drinking milk, getting tall, same thing I say every time. Word. No complain, no room for complaining. Life is amazing. Life is great. People are great. Room to love, room to laugh.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I'm in a good mood. So much on the table. So much Netflix, So much Audible. So much Chase Bank. Yes, sir. Like, where do we start? We start with True Story? Yes, we need to start with True Story. Okay. Dropping November 24th. For those who do not know, True Story is my new series that is about to drop on Netflix. Excited about it. Drama. Thriller. This is me in a way that you haven't seen me before. By the way,
Starting point is 00:04:06 I have baby walked you to this point. The Upside, that was my first step in the dramatic space and after that, hit you with Fatherhood. That was a more drastic view at me in the world of drama and then now, now we're touching the world of drama and thriller.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Myself, Wesley Snipes, Billy Zane theo rossi i mean the cast is amazing so many so many talented people but um this is the real deal people are gonna be blown away by this what's true story about what is it about true story um true story is about it's a show that's wrapped around loyalty trust and uh it it it raises the question of how far would you go to protect the things that you worked hard for? Right like what is your limit as an individual as a person? how far can you be pushed before you feel like you have to push back or take or take a stance of
Starting point is 00:04:56 Uncertainty right where you're you're making decisions that you that you didn't know that you were capable of making it's loosely based off of the template of my life, the backdrop, the comedian, the mogul. That's what the character is. But then it takes a shift into a darker world where you see that I'm not playing myself. The version of myself was just to get you interested. And then after you see, oh God, it's not Kevin,
Starting point is 00:05:24 it's some other shit, it takes a spin. But it's some oh god. It's not Kevin. It's some other shit It it takes a spin, but it's some some dope shit it's the story these two brothers and just you know whirlwind of their relationship the The the changing of the guard you know like when you got an older brother younger brother There's a there's kind of a thing where an older brother is in control Yeah, you know he's really much in charge of that relationship But then this thing happens when the younger brother surpasses an older brother in life in success There's a narrative and there's a feeling that comes with that and that conflict sometimes
Starting point is 00:05:55 Sometimes put some real rocky water in that relationship and in this case that rocky water is Is is is dark some dark shit that happens between these guys. And, you know, the involvement, the relationship, and the whirlwind that it goes through, that's what the show does. What made you do a drama? Like, you wanted to challenge yourself? Or did you think people only thought you were funny?
Starting point is 00:06:15 No, I'm not challenging myself. No, I'm fucking talented. It's not about challenging me, man. I like the fact... Because Upside was good. Upside was really good. Oh, upside was good The upside was really good Oh thank you The upside was really good
Starting point is 00:06:26 Why you in here with shades on On some rockstar shit What if I ever not worn glasses I always wear shades When he comes here All the time Yes he does I've always worn shades
Starting point is 00:06:32 Early on I've always had on glasses I always wear glasses Okay Stop trying to make it seem Like I'm changing You are though And it's good
Starting point is 00:06:41 I've been changing That's right Now if you'd have said The furry cardigan You've never had on the furry cardigan, you'd never had on a furry cardigan up here. That's a little different. It's very casual. And you got on an emerald.
Starting point is 00:06:50 That's how you know Cav getting one. Cav got, he ain't got no diamond. When he's diamonds around him, he got an emerald on. These things are, these are my signature chains. I've been wearing these forever. I've never seen you with an emerald on. Yeah, I mean, come on. What day have you seen me?
Starting point is 00:07:01 There's different days. Wow. Did you get it from Zales? No, what? What is that? What else do you have out of the Lucky Charms box? I know you seen me? There's different days. Wow. Did you get it from Zales? No, what? What is that? What else do you have out of the Lucky Charms box? I know you probably got every single thing in diamonds. That's original.
Starting point is 00:07:10 No, I ain't talking about that. I'm talking about for real. The emeralds, the green clothes. Look, that's how you think everybody's exactly. Exactly. That's original. That's original. The purple heart.
Starting point is 00:07:21 No, I like the stone. So the emerald, the rubies, the sapphires, the pink diamonds, all that stuff. I just like different shit. Dope, dope. But it's all like the signature heart with the K on it. Kev, getting a different type of money. I don't think y'all realize that. Kev, I know we talking about the true story and everything else, but the evolution of Kevin Hart over the past decade has been incredible.
Starting point is 00:07:44 From growing up, man. No. No, no, no. From stand-up comic to the acting to now, you're just a mogul. I am. Like, literally, you're a mogul. I am very much in charge of my direction and my opportunity. I like the fact that I can control my narrative in the business and do the things that I want.
Starting point is 00:08:05 So this ecosystem that now exists underneath the brand of Heartbeat is one that produces television, film, radio, literature, animation, whether it be comedy, drama, it doesn't matter. It's all about what we feel is a great opportunity for us at this point, at this moment. So to his point when he said, why do you want to do drama? Why not? It doesn't matter. It's all about what we feel is a great opportunity for us at this point, at this moment. So, you know, to his point where he said, why do you want to do drama? Why not? Why not go and, you know, develop something that's just different, that's outside the box? I can still find excitement in.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I don't want to get bored with the business. I don't want to get bored with entertainment. I want to find excitement in showing up to work every day. So that comes within the creative. I like being a part of that process. So that's where I am now. Charlamagne, you might be right. What? I'm looking at the last five interviews he did.
Starting point is 00:08:52 He didn't have glasses. Two years ago, no glasses. Wait a minute. Tiffany didn't have glasses on. I took them off in the Tiffany interview. He didn't have glasses on. I took them off. You got to go way back to seeing him wear glasses.
Starting point is 00:09:01 70 years, he didn't have glasses on. He changed a little bit. Bet money I can pull up right now, and that you're wrong, that I can go to two that are back to back where I had glasses on. Probably from 2011. Tiffany's interview,
Starting point is 00:09:10 I took them off because I got mad. I took the glasses off. Okay? The one before that when I had on the dark shades where I had on like brown,
Starting point is 00:09:19 I had glasses on. I took them off at a certain point when you guys get me hot. See, I do this shit. And that's another best one. See? Let's not distract from all this money you making
Starting point is 00:09:28 Here's the next announcement. I think we're gonna hear we're gonna hear heartbeat productions has partnered with somebody for a billion plus dollars the way we saw with Spring Hill and Reese Witherspoon's company. I feel like that's gonna happen for Kevin Hart I feel like there's none of your fucking business it's gonna be in the trades you wait till it's in the trades wait till you see that in the trades i don't know what you're talking about uh look man listen listen here's here's here's what i will tell, okay? There is a blueprint that's been given, and that blueprint has been given by Oprah, by Tyler, by Hov. Shout out to my brother Brian Mav over there at Spring Hill.
Starting point is 00:10:15 They're doing amazing things, man, but the blueprint is about ownership. The blueprint is about figuring out ways to control a narrative based on IP, IP IP ownership we're not in this business to be worked for hires forever you eventually want to be a partner and what we're doing at our company and I say our because I don't have employees I have partners I don't have people that work for me I got people that work with me so my team we, we've assembled an amazing foundation. And within that, the goal and desire is to have tentacles, have branches. And these branches provide opportunities, employment
Starting point is 00:10:54 for so many. And I love the fact that we are a black owned company that is all about equal opportunity. So when you look under my hood, you see men, women, you see everything. We are a representation of what the business should look like and be. That equality, that movement, that portfolio is one of opportunity and future success for the next version of stars. So those stars are entertainers.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Those stars are execs. Those stars are creatives. Those stars are heads of, you what i mean like it it goes all across the board i've made mine i've i've gotten to where i've gotten this star not gonna get no brighter it's about figuring out ways to help the next version that's what heartbeat is that's what we're about so you know i can't answer that question i don't know what you're talking about well when it comes out in the trades i'm gonna say i told you so maybe you can maybe you can't i don't know i don't know does kev does kev slow down now because kevin you're talking about well when it comes out in the trades i'm gonna say i told you so maybe you can't maybe you can't i don't know i don't know does kev does kev slow down now
Starting point is 00:11:47 because kevin you're super successful you got three kids i see you i got four kids four kids you love hanging out with kill one of my babies off you love doing things with your kids do you slow down and be like you know what now it's time to be a father and slow down on the works you know what man i'm definitely i'm trying to uh i'm trying to i i think i do need to to to go a little slower um you know now that we're we're getting back to a place of old we're getting back to life as we once knew it you know there's okay you do that or are you like you have to are you addicted to no i'm not i got a problem i'm not gonna sit up here and act like i think we all do i'm a workaholic.
Starting point is 00:12:31 But like I said, it's about the foundation. It's about this thing and, you know, making sure the bricks are secure, making sure they can't move. And, you know, you start to ask yourself different questions. I'm getting older. I'm 42. So what am I doing it for? What is it? What is it about at this point? Is it about legacy? Is it about, you know, something that's evergreen, something that lasts with or without me? Is it about mailbox money? Is it about informing and giving information to our culture so that our culture sees what we have access to and what's the reality in the world of, you know, in the world of opportunity? It's all of the above. Yeah, it's like,'s like you know you gotta you start to ask these questions so i think the role becomes bigger and you know it's like you you grow so the guy that was once a comedian is so much fucking more than that now right it's it's it's i've i've gotten to a place where i opened
Starting point is 00:13:22 up a door and that door had like 30 other doors. I just start peeking in those doors. So I know I know the different versions of success and I just want to tap into all of them. And I think I think people will look back right now. You may not realize it, but if you look at the things that I've done, right, if you go comedy,amedy action adventure action comedy comedy drama drama filler uh docu-series documentary hosting animation author uh radio hosts podcast hosts like it's I'm tapping into every single outlet because what I realized that everybody should, you can do it all if you want to. There is no ceiling. There is no space that you go to and it's like, oh, shit, I got to stop here.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You can do as much as you want. So I'm having fun in discovering how much more. The world of venture and VC, stocks stocks and real estate all of this shit like there's so much um that you can do to occupy your fucking time in your mind and that's what i'm in love with so i don't know i don't know about slowing down i think removing myself from in front of the camera at some point uh that'll be the priority but the world of what's going on behind will probably be ten times as much as what it was when I was in front you know your
Starting point is 00:14:49 conversations have always been so interesting to me because you've always been so self-aware and to hear you talk now saying things like cuz I heard you want all the smoke and you were saying things like you won't always be considered the funniest or be the hottest at the moment what about what about about that realization I mean mean, that's reality. Everything that goes up eventually comes down. But when you come down, you know, you don't have to fall. You can come down and be better than you were when you were up if you manage shit correctly, right?
Starting point is 00:15:18 You know, like it's not about being the best anymore. And that's where you grow up. You know, there was a moment in the beginning where it was like, I being the best anymore. And that's where you grow up. You know, there was a moment in the beginning where it's like, I'm the fucking best. I got to be the best. I got to be number one. And then you realize that mindset, you know, that's one that pits people against each other. It's almost as if, you know, the world of success, you can't coexist with other people that are just as good in our culture I realize that's the fucked up thing about us. We have this mentality of it can only be one right?
Starting point is 00:15:53 It can only be one person one great But that's not correct right if you if you're like I need to be the best for me and do things that are great for me and do things that are great for me and operate in my world in my spectrum at the highest level where you're thinking about self I'm not thinking about everybody else or what else is going on I'm thinking about me how do I fucking manage this machine how do I maneuver properly for me um that's the mindset that I now have. And I can't say it enough, man. You grow the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You grow up. And when you evolve and mature, the best thing that changes is just your mindset. My mindset is different. I operate differently. You know what I mean? I'm not in the world of being bothered or aggravravated or annoyed I'm not in the world of care when it comes to other people's needs or once you fell back on social media a lot Absolutely, it's water right there if you wanted to wait my I got the white mouth
Starting point is 00:16:55 I'm glad to see you doing this a little well. That's cuz I thought I spit Oh, I don't wanna I don't wanna spit come on my mother's day morning. I feel like that looks sick Yeah, I don't want to do that. Uh yeah, why I mean you have to spit coming out of my mouth. But it's there for a while. I feel like that looks sick. Yeah. I didn't want to do that. Yeah. I mean, you have to fall back off of that. I think the generation now that's embraced it, they're at a new level than what it was when I was on there. We don't have that level of fuckery in us. Nah.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Maybe we just too old for that. I mean, look, social media is dope as fuck. I'm not going to shit on it or piss on it but you know it's not the most positive place in the world right so it's a lot of it's a lot of bullshit on there so i don't really uh i don't engage in it i use it for marketing for promo and you know give things and splashes and blurbs but i'm not on that bitch reading and searching i'm not i'm not in that i'm not over there no more have you had to cut people off because they don't see the new version of you? Like they still see the old Kev from
Starting point is 00:17:47 Philly who they might have been doing stand up with but they don't recognize you as the mogul. I think that takes time. Like when people say cut people off, right? That's an effort. A set of boundaries. Yeah, I mean, but you just, you remove yourself from shit that just
Starting point is 00:18:03 doesn't work for you. I'm not, I'm just not negative, right? So if you just, you remove yourself from shit that just doesn't work for you. I'm not, I'm just not negative, right? So if you're, if you are a cloud in some way, shape, or form, or if you present some type of dark energy, well, I'm just, I'm not around it. I don't need to announce it. I don't need to be like, yo, I ain't fucking with you no more because you on that shit. I'm just like, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see you.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I'll go over there. You know what I mean? I'll go over there I'm just I'm just a little more removed from bad shit from bad energy but is that difficult because you were so accessible when you were coming out everybody knew Kev but now it's like Kev is a different Kev
Starting point is 00:18:38 he's not the same Kev I think that's the part that makes me laugh when people want I was having a conversation but I was doing an interview and they were talking about stand-up actually I was this was in all smoke where you know they were like well how do you feel just about people when they they go to you and go to you being funny and they say man you you were funnier back then or you you used to be funny you used to be raw and it's like well
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah, cuz you used to be different. So when you grow up, yeah, the energy changes, you know You're not fast all the time. Like that's why some people get slow, right? You say boat is fucking amazing But he can't run the same time now that he ran then. Right. As you get older, you fucking change. So it's almost as if people are afraid to embrace that change. That's right. Like that you're afraid to embrace the different versions of you, you know, and you don't get worse. You get better.
Starting point is 00:19:35 That's right. You do get better. So the the world where people put you against yourself just doesn't make sense. Like if you if you're comparing me to me and you're saying I was once this and I'm not that well you're asking me to be better than what I once was when I feel like I'm better like I'm I'm evolved but if your perception of me is in the place of old well that's where you were happy right and that's fine but where i'm at now i'm happier yeah with me so i think in life at some point you gotta realize motherfuckers about about me i'm i'm
Starting point is 00:20:13 the one that's got to be happy at the end of the day i'm the one that's got to be okay with the direction that i'm going in and when you find that great balance a piece of fucking poise then you're you're in a different you're in a different place so my my balance is dope as fuck right now and that's just with me growing that's with me seeing shit differently with me experiencing things with me going through trials tribulations ups downs hurdles whatever you get to just a place of dope and that's where i'm at you know i mean you're not you do know you surpassed hotness though like like you're Kevin Hart like yeah Kevin Hart is like a verb almost you know
Starting point is 00:20:50 what I mean like you're not a comedic icon like you surpassed hot I know I'm not I mean I don't I don't argue I've done a lot of shit yeah yeah but I'm the world of proving that is you know that's the one that you gotta get past right like you go through the spot where you're like are you fucking kidding me oh y'all got oh so you don't know bitch I was don't make I used to you do have that but then you get to the point where you're like
Starting point is 00:21:16 who am I who am I trying to prove like who am I proving this to when it's all said and done and you know you got a point to look at a portfolio, add said time in my career, all the stuff is there. What's done is done. It's in stone.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Analytics, numbers, accomplishments, resume, portfolio, it's all there. So if anybody wanted to see, you can go fucking see. You don't have to. It doesn't matter to me. My energy is different. I'm 42. En rich 42 wealthy yeah you know I'm telling you I told him one day I thought he having the wire different I said what are you trying to do it's not about the money though I think I think it's the government no he's trying to save on tax it's
Starting point is 00:22:07 not about the money it's about what you what you've done to get to that point but sadly and we live in a society where people you know look at the money and be like oh that's how he getting that yeah but what what I want people to take away from it though it's it's the understanding of this door opens up other doors. Right. And that's what I want people just to start to to to think about, to process. Right. And life life is a fucking game.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I don't care if people think so or not. I'm telling you, life is a game. And the game is about finding a way to succeed. Now, that doesn't mean money. Success comes in happiness. It comes in joy, love. It can be financial. There's so many different versions of success.
Starting point is 00:22:55 But in life, the game is trying to figure it out, trying to find it. Right. And how you do it, how you you approach it that's up to you but you got the course of when you're born to year what 75 80 65 90 whatever that is you got from that time to this time to find out how to win your version of the game that's So when it's all said and done, how did you play the game? How did you win the game? Right. In this game for me, well, what am I trying to set up?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Oh, fuck. If it is about playing the game, how can I win? But how can I set shit up? And how can I help other people win? That's where I'm at in the game. So if I play it right for me, well, everybody else is going to have
Starting point is 00:23:42 an easier version of the game because I'm just going to give information. I'm not giving you advice. I'm giving you information. And if you take the information and use it properly, how much did it work for you? Did it act as an asset for you? Did these things that I create help pivot and springboard you into whatever? I'm doing my part to make the game easier for other people.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Do you ever feel you're too accessible uh absolutely absolutely and you got to figure out how to cut that off but i'm a personality like i actually love people and that's my biggest problem i'm like i'm a people person you think you're a people pleaser used to be used to be used it Used to be. Used to be. It used to be about, hey, man, what do you mean? Like, you're not having a good time? Come on. Right?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Or hungry? Everybody's hungry? Come on. Or what do you mean you don't like me? How? I'm the nicest. How? I don't have a bad bone in my body.'m a good come on no look this is I used to be that that person and when you are that there's a lot of energy wasted in trying to do things for
Starting point is 00:24:57 the approval of and there's a light bulb that has to go off. You got to be like, well, why am I, like these people have no effect on my actual day-to-day, my actual life. So there's a light bulb that clicked for me where I was like, in being accessible, in being too available, I'm just giving too much energy into shit that doesn't give energy back.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So where should that energy be prioritized at? Where should I focus on giving it? And once you figure that out, and you figure out the people that are aligned to get it, receive it, give it back, and it's a nice yin and yang, then it gets better. So as far as accessibility, I think that just comes in transparency.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I'm very transparent. I'm very life is what it is, and I can, I'll put it out there. I don't give a fuck what it is. Are you going to do another season of Don't Fuck This Up, speaking of transparency? I talked about it because the documentary was dope. It was honest. But it has to be when there's stuff to follow.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You know, I don't want it just to focus on my world of work and success. I don't feel like just to focus on my world of work and success i don't feel like that's a that's a good layer i think you know you want to just show the you want to show how how complex life is in general and that nobody is nobody is free from bullshit right so that's what don't fuck this up was it was bullshit is bullshit is there regardless of who you are where you are you're going to go through it. I think I think the documentary Side of my next one will be based on my company the company's growth in the people within it and how they're managing success From the thing we built I don't want to I don't want to be the focus
Starting point is 00:26:38 Yeah, that billion dollar episodes gonna be crazy. Yeah, I mean yourself was Good. I don't know what that's I Didn't I never that's not didn't i never that's not i didn't say that it's gonna happen i don't know what you're talking about putting it in the atmosphere it's gonna happen maybe it's any i'm just looking at what i'm not i'm just saying i'm not i'm just looking around i see what richard boone did i see what spring hill did i'm like heartbeat is absolutely next i saw a trade i saw an article it was like you know heartbeats getting suitors people are sniffing around. I saw it.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I read these things. I read the trades. Well, if you read it, then maybe you saw it. I mean, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what to tell you here. Anything you regret about doing it on the docuseries? Anything you regret? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Okay. Absolutely not. Documentary, the docuseries Don't Fuck This Up, was dope because it showed how to find solution in problem, right? And I think today, everybody's focused on problem. Everybody's focused on the argument. Not many people are focused on the solution and a conversation to stop the argument, right?
Starting point is 00:27:36 Everybody wants to be right. You're wrong. I'm right. Nobody wants to go, you can have your opinion, and that's how you feel. Good. Good for you. Like people, I don't, I don't.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, the back and forth. Yeah, I don't understand what, like, what, we don't have to agree. We don't have to be the same. And if I choose to not agree or be the same, the new shit is you're wrong. And that's just not how that's not why people are individuals we're individuals because we think different we operate different we're not the same and it doesn't mean that we have to be against each other we just don't have to agree but we can still get along we can
Starting point is 00:28:17 still fucking get along you like coffee I like tea I don't hate you cuz you fucking like coffee shouldn't hate me cuz I like tea we can drink it at the same time be happy for you I'm happy for me let's find a solution i'm uh i'm big on that so you know the world of uh conflict and negativity i think is one that's embraced highly today now you have some you have some big social media moments in the last couple of months don cheetos age oh amazing damn that was hilarious amazing that was hilarious amazing real moment but was it a real moment goodness gracious you can't fake that yeah you can't fake that you heard his heart like you That was hilarious. Amazing. That was hilarious. Amazing. Real moment. Was it a real moment? Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:28:46 You can't fake that. Yeah, you can't fake that. You heard his heart. I watched that shit a hundred times. Don is one of my closest friends. Don is fine. No, for a second I saw it in his face. He was like. Don Cheeto and I are extremely close.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I agree, but you still heard his feelings. You heard your friend's feelings. I heard his feelings. He thought I knew. I didn't know. We can tell you didn't know. I didn't know. We can tell you didn't know. I didn't know. It's a damn you are.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah, yeah. You don't throw that out there like that. He was fucking, he was clean shaven. He was, he had a fucking young look to him that day. He told me that and I said, you got to be fucking shitting me. I didn't know that, Don. I know what you meant, but it just didn't come off like that. It didn't come off like that.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Well, how do you think I felt? He caught me off guard. Yeah. When you started explaining afterwards, that's what made it even more funny. He said, he looked at me. I said, I didn't mean it like that. He said, yes, you did. I said, no, no, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:29:38 He's like, rewind the tape. When you watch it, you'll see that that's not, that wasn't how I. How many times did you laugh at it after you saw it back? Well, when we did it, you don't realize it, but when people start cutting the shit up, you know, the internet is goddamn dangerous. They can do anything they want. How awkward was it? Because they look uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:29:54 It wasn't awkward for me. I was not that old. It ain't for me. He didn't damn me. I damned him. It wasn't there. It was awkward for Don. But Don's Don, man. I think that's the beauty of that show heart to heart is it's no there's no script there's no there's no
Starting point is 00:30:13 like prep it's just it's it's just conversation so when i have guests on that talk show they literally just show up and we sit down they don, there's no idea of where the conversation is going to go. It just flows. We talk strictly for an hour. So I think that's the beauty of that raw conversation and what can happen. I also thought it was big that, I don't, I don't know the comedian's name.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So I apologize that he was tied up in something that was going on in your life and you forgave him. You talked about it. And what made you say, you know what, I'm gonna be a bigger man and I'm gonna forgive the situation and all that uh i mean i don't know which community you're talking about but i can assume who i can't remember his name i'm uh i'm very once again it's just where i'm at i don't have the time for bs right and what i what i found like there's a lot
Starting point is 00:31:02 of there's a lot of like like, who's funnier? Who's funnier than, you know, some of these comics take that and they run with those narratives and they get engulfed in that shit. And I just don't care. Right? It's not competition. What got you there? What got you at that level of not caring and saying, you know what? Google is net worth.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Well, I've never been, you know what though? You got to be honest. I've never been the, I've never been the I'm better than guy. I've never been the, the. I do feel like you've been the I'm outwork you guy. Absolutely. I am that. All day.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I'm a thousand percent the guy that's going to go to the gym and put up 7,000 jump shots because I think the other person shoots 500 I'm gonna I'm gonna outwork Anybody that's because once again, I'm addicted to the work, but I just I don't like the crabs in a barrel mentality I don't like the idea that there can only be one and it only lives in our culture This only lives we talked about it only lives in the world of black people right like if if if we saw a competitive nature across the board in mainstream america um as well where these artists or these entertainers or these entrepreneurs or these businessmen um if they
Starting point is 00:32:22 attacked one another all the time and that was the way of the world, then I would get it. I would understand it. But it's our culture. Our culture, like for some reason, you know, we love to pit ourselves against one another. And that's a downfall. That's a major downfall that we have. And I think, you know, when we start to correct it
Starting point is 00:32:42 and we start to embrace one another give each other flowers say the fuck that we support said individual said level of success i understand that another person's success has nothing to do with yours if anything it amplifies your opportunity it doesn't take away from yours it amplifies it so what the next man and woman are doing if they're doing it correct holy shit i get to see what happens if and damn that's another door that's open that i could right instead there's this weird thing of fuck you they shouldn't i want to take i need that i and that's that's what i don't have time for so when i when you talk about the world of comic and you know the back and forth that i've had i'm just you guys talking about that situation but I know what you're talking about. I respect it.
Starting point is 00:33:25 But I was saying, the fact that you're forgiving and that you can look over things is just, is a step I haven't got to yet. But I love the fact that you're there with me. Why? What's your problem? Honestly? Yeah. What's your problem?
Starting point is 00:33:37 Revenge. For what? I don't know. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel warm and cuddly. Light skin shit, bro. Let him be light skin. Let him be light skin.
Starting point is 00:33:44 But what does it do? Like, after you get said revenge, then what? I'll break it down, right? So, Kevin Hart, right? Kevin Hart, we joke with you. We laugh with you. I've known you for a long time, and you've never been a negative guy, right? You always reach your hand out if you can.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You always make sure if you hear something, somebody's in trouble. Or I've said some wild stuff on this radio. You always reach down. Envy, you're saying this wrong. You should have said it this way, right? You've always been like that to everybody. You don't bother nobody, right? I don't bother nobody so when somebody that's not true. I don't so when somebody tries to attack you for no reason It almost feels like why me I don't do anything to nobody, you know
Starting point is 00:34:17 So it feels like you know now I want you to die living but you but that's that's life That's life. It is what it is, right? And at today's time, any narrative can be attached to anybody. Correct. Anything. It's honestly sad how- But it's different when it affects you, but now when it's something that could affect your today, it's claim first, no proof,
Starting point is 00:34:47 no real idea if said thing or said verbal is true at all. Yo, man, you don't like fucking white people. If I say that, it's said, so today's
Starting point is 00:35:04 time, it has to be true. There is no world of, say that it's said so today's time it has to be true right there there there is no world of that's bullshit yeah there's no due process there's no like there's no due diligence of not guys that's actually not true right like you know i'm gonna take this you know for my for my brother dave i i did an interview uh not not dropping what did interview for but just for clarification i did an interview with wall street journal and the reporter asked me he was like you know how do you feel about dave um just coming to your defense and and how does that make you feel do you feel like he's rehashing things that you went to and i said why do you feel like he's coming to my defense i said why
Starting point is 00:35:41 why why why can't you see that he's just my my friend right like if you that's my friend so as a friend if you have friends and something happened to your friend if you are a friend you're like hey man i didn't like how they did my guy that's right you're not trying to come to my defense you're just speaking on behalf of your friend especially when you know a person if you really know certain things Certain things you see, you're like, I know that's not him. Here's where me and Dave just laugh, right?
Starting point is 00:36:11 The conversation attached to Dave's name is attached to him as if people know him. Right? The fucked up reality about Dave Chappelle, this motherfucker has everybody around him.
Starting point is 00:36:27 He's too. Yeah. When I say everybody. United Nations. I'm talking about everybody. So like when the conversation attached to the LGBTQ plus community and it's attached with a negative narrative in association with Dave, you didn't really do your due diligence in looking at his world. That community is really around him.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Like, his friends, like I'm talking close friends, are a part of that community. I'm talking people that Dave has embraced and has loved for years that are like, Dave, that's not true. This motherfucker loves and has loved so the narrative once once put on and once attached was spirals motherfuckers worse than a tornado that's right because once it starts going then people just attach and that shit get to spinning and before you know it it gets up and all of a sudden you hate when when did i ever i never said that nobody ever that's never came out my mouth i don't you would think that you
Starting point is 00:37:32 lived with me and you saw me bash or you saw me do that's the fucked up thing about today so when you talk about revenge you're in a never-ending cycle of of incomplete buddy like that revenge ain't coming. Like the win that you're looking for don't exist. So if you're not mature and cool enough just to chuck up deuces to the thing that you can't control and give a goddamn salute, well, nigga, you're going to be unhappy for a minute.
Starting point is 00:37:59 You're going to be fucked up for a minute. It's bad to have that mindset, especially in today's time, as if you don't see it's it's it's bad to have that mindset especially in today's time as if you don't see it it's easy and it's honestly not going to be corrected it's not going to be corrected like you know with the world of social media and you know the the the idea of what cancel and cancel culture has become the thing that it was and what was necessarily needed for the moments where you had to use it, it's now lost. So it's now this other thing that's so much. You got to go.
Starting point is 00:38:37 People have lost fucking sight of reality. We're destroying people's lives. Like we're saying. And nobody's exempt from it it can happen to any and everybody everybody will get a turn do you understand like we're now in a place where people we are going fuck you we are going to take everything from you now and walk away and that is when you walk away do you understand that this person that just went through sad things, we're saying like you now can't work ever again? What happened to the world of progression, understanding, apology, solution, growth?
Starting point is 00:39:17 When did we skip? I don't understand. When did we skip that? When did we skip? My bad. My bad. I fucked up. I remember I cussed at a fucking teacher.
Starting point is 00:39:29 It's a true story. Today you cuss at a teacher. Well, what's the consequences for a kid doing some adult shit as a kid? If a kid jumps bad in school, whatever, bitch. Okay, every kid goes to that moment where you think you're an adult and you want to try said thing. And then you got to get your head knocked off. And after getting your head knocked off, the kid goes, I'm not going to do that no more. You learn and do better next time.
Starting point is 00:39:50 There is no process of learning and understanding anymore. There's only a process of consequence. And because of that, that's why I step back, man. I don't want no smoke. Y'all got it. Yeah, because humans always fail purity tests. So I don't know why we act like we're so perfect. Absolutely. When did that happen, though? I don't want no smoke. Y'all got it. Yeah, because humans always fail purity tests. So I don't know why we act like we're so perfect. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:08 When did that happen, though? I don't know. When did we all check into the perfect box? Because I think you should deal with nuance, right? If you don't like a joke I said, you don't like something I said, say you don't like it. Tell me what I did wrong. But don't label me as a whole thing because of one bad statement or one bad joke i'll go further right i'm aware of the changes that need to be made especially with the conversation
Starting point is 00:40:32 attached to respect i think it's dope i think that it is time that we make sure we respect one another i think it is time we make sure we're treating each other not only fairly, but with understanding and appreciation that your life may be filled with problems and obstacles that I'm not aware of because my life is not the same. Because of that, I need to understand that. I need to fall back. I need to respect that. Right. In that same instance, we also all have a choice. You can support or not support you can watch
Starting point is 00:41:07 or not watch the thing that killed me the most is you know when you see all the conversation I was trying to be attached to Dave special well you got an option to go on Netflix you got an option to search click watch you don't you don't have to right you don't you really don't have to i don't have to watch who i don't like there's musicians that i'm just not a fan of because of that i don't go to the concert i don't i don't buy a ticket and go to the show and if i did buy a ticket and go to the show for the thing that I don't like, I'm buying it to do this. I don't understand that.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I can't mentally process this when I know I don't like it. I don't like you. So why am I putting myself in a position to frustrate myself further based off what I already know I don't like? And that's okay. It's okay to not like or to not fuck with. myself in a position to frustrate myself further based off what i already know i don't like and that's okay it's okay to not like or to not fuck with it's okay and to have an opinion if you disagree with me it's okay like i don't like that that joke isn't for me it's okay but there's now a thing of well because i don't like it y'all can and y'all shouldn't either that's that's the part where it just gets difficult and
Starting point is 00:42:26 by the way guys we're we're not going to please everybody it's just not going to happen but the only thing you can do is try your best to educate try your best to speak on things in a positive way so that people take the positive side with it they They understand it. I can say I understand a lot more now because of some of the conversations that I had. My mindset's a lot better. I can say that just on behalf of my brother, the thing that's fucked up for me is that, you know, you don't know him. That motherfucker's a good dude. He's a good dude. Like a real good dude.
Starting point is 00:43:03 That motherfucker loves hard when you talk about ohio he has built a goddamn community economy in a place where he is from to make the place better for the people the people in ohio are all fucking different they're all different black white members of the community not members of the community. I'm talking he put that on his back. He out there shaking hands. That motherfucker kissing babies in Ohio. He's the mayor out there, and he's doing it for the people.
Starting point is 00:43:38 You don't know that, man. So when I see people speak on behalf of a man whose intentions are nothing but good and uplifting it just makes you a while that's where we are and this is not to defend I'm not defending I'm not coming to Dave's aid I'm speaking truth of me just going you don't know the guy right that's it so so when you talk about revenge and you talk about these things, well, I think people are starting to change the narrative as if Dave is trying to war with.
Starting point is 00:44:12 He's not. But that's the narrative that's been created. When that fucking tornado started doing this, it gets to a point now where people are like, you're just hopping in and you're grabbing on to the fucking opportunity to hate more. Let's talk about a couple more things
Starting point is 00:44:28 before we get out of here. I don't know if this is a joke or not, but the comedy writes itself, are you really playing Arnold for one night only on a different script to Revival?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Jimmy Kimmel, live on stage. We're doing it live. What you talking about, Willis? What you talking about, Willis? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:44:43 I thought it was fucking funny. I mean, it just looks funny on paper it's just i said jimmy jimmy has been doing this thing where they create these old tv shows and they do it live from like a a play aspect and he was like what do you think about different strokes and i was one of the funniest shows ever he's like what do we created and he told me the people that he was thinking about, man. And when Damon Wayans was like,
Starting point is 00:45:08 he wants to be Willis and you can be Arnold, I said, that's fucking genius. So, you know, you put your own take on it, but I'm going to be Arnold from different strokes.
Starting point is 00:45:18 That's funny. I'm going to grow the little fro out and everything. What you talking about, Willis? That whole thing. You practiced what you
Starting point is 00:45:22 talking about, Willis? I don't need to practice what you talking about, Willis. Everybody know how to do that it's just all the fucking that's what it's gonna be funny i also wonder um for you who's experienced both what's the difference between a a theatrical release and a netflix release um i mean now the biggest difference is you're you're global immediately depending on your your level of stardom i wanted to go over to the platform this is during a pandemic i'm pivoted because i just didn't know where the world of theatrical was and i didn't want to be behind
Starting point is 00:45:59 eight ball so my conversation with my team my company was one of opportunity to make myself available here and only be available here for the course of said time but my way of doing that was I wanted to develop and produce my movies so it was way to amplify heartbeat productions so heartbeat productions is now responsible for developing the Kevin Hart movies that you'll see on the platform and doing that you're you're mean, it's 250 fucking countries, right? Wow. You're universal.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And if you are the talent that they can put you on that homepage, well, the visibility to you, for you is massive. Now, it doesn't mean that I won't go back to theatrical because theatrical is now coming back, but there's a different energy and effort that goes into that so i think um theatrical and the experience of going to the movies as necessary as needed people are still going to do it but i think you're going to start to see a lot of synergy between making things available easier as time goes on um on a global on a global scale so you're seeing like a window shared between streaming and
Starting point is 00:47:07 live experience so you know you still get the best of both worlds and I understand why people still want to and people are still dabbling for me it was just a better decision to partner with Netflix and the work that we've done like I've been working with them for a long fucking time so I'm getting older I don't want to move around as much. This helps me be a little more stable and not have to put the same energy into the world tour after and going all over on a global scale. Like I just kind of wanted to be a little more stable, be home a little more. Couple more questions. SPH, the company at Audible. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:42 You know, the company we have at Audible. Next year we start rolling out projects. How are you feeling about that venture? And do you think people understand what it is we're doing? I think they will. And, you know, I think when you say it, make sure you make people understand the initiative and reason behind it. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Like I think when people now say your name, they speak of it in one tone. But once again, when you really know the person, it's like, you know, he's got a different drive and initiative. When you look at the books and you read the books, what's his real want? When you hear people speak on behalf of the culture and the people, what are they really trying to do? Are you a part of the problem or are you trying to be a part of the solution? The problem is the significant gap in our economy from black to white right the solution is being a part of the attempt to close
Starting point is 00:48:30 that gap bring people closer bring things to them this entity that we created well we saw a gap in a space of audio literature and in this space our culture hasn't been embracing the world of knowledge that's available here so in this entity well how the fuck can we deliver it in a way that can be creative enough where our culture can come over and grab onto things that they didn't know existed or we're going to create ip through audio we We can create experiences. We can create content and have it available. We can also bring in talent to take a hold of previous content that may or may not even be known about. Attach content or person to content to read. Their voice alone attracts our younger
Starting point is 00:49:19 demographic and generation to come and get the knowledge. So in this space, I think that our opportunity to success is extremely high. And, you know, for the projects that we've already signed on to do, the original IPs that we're creating, the things that have existed that we're going to amplify by attaching talent, I just think that the world of great is real. And, you know, I got to also give Audible credit for knowing where there is a void, for knowing where their numbers lack and for saying we trust in you guys to create this entity. And rather than us trying to just control, let's partner, you know, so for a company of that magnitude to say, well, we're going to give you guys the money that gave us the money. Now run a machine, create the company that you said you could do. We're trusting you to do that. And as your partner, create the company that you said you could do. We're trusting in you to
Starting point is 00:50:05 do that. And as your partner, how can we assist you? This is the world of solution. So when we're talking about the need for diversity inclusion, when we're talking about, um, making sure that the black voices and that the black portfolio within business is, is giving a shot when you got companies like that that are on the proper side of the conversation by saying we understand and we want to help that's a dope thing we don't hear about that side of conversation enough we hear about the problem more um i like to amplify the conversation on behalf of the solution so you know dude i'm proud of you. Uh, I love the direction that you're going in.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And as a partner, once again, like he's not a work for hire, he don't work for me. Um, all the knowledge and experience that I have, we're partners. So I'm bringing value to his idea. He had a dope idea.
Starting point is 00:51:00 All right. I'm on your train, brother. How can I help amplify? I got this whole machine over here. I got a whole bunch of shit, brother. How can I help amplify? I got this whole machine over here I got a whole bunch of shit over here. How can I bring value to this and to his credit? He has a world of people that these he now is on his seat like Charlie got a team man shit fucking made me It made me smile to get on conference calls and hear people speaking on his behalf
Starting point is 00:51:21 On his behalf with the vision that he has to help execute. So I think the world is going to definitely be shocked. I think that they're in for a treat. And I think the world of audio originals and IP is growing. We love to listen. The taking time to actually sit down and read a book, some people don't have it. So how do we bring that literature to you
Starting point is 00:51:41 from an audio perspective? SBH, Short Black Enhancing Productions. I have two more questions. One of y'all. Shut up. I mean, it's just a name. It's your problem. It's your fucking problem.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You got to get rid of this anger, man. Beige rage is what we call it. Beige rage. Two more questions. At this point in your career, who do you get the most game from? Man, I tell you who people don't give enough credit to.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Tyler Perry is a machine. Yes. Right? The business mind, the ability to really change the narrative in business
Starting point is 00:52:24 and how deals are done and how they're made. Uh, the world of you can't do that doesn't exist for a man. It finds ways to, uh, I love to just watch the way he moves. Um,
Starting point is 00:52:36 do you know a couple of years ago, real quick, you know, a couple of years ago, Tyler said to me, nobody ever taps him up for information. He said, it's only been two people.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He said, you and, uh, Tiffany, I think he said it's only been two people he said you and uh tiffany i think he said tiffany had he's a i'm like huh he's a tyler perry is one of the smartest motherfuckers on the planet and he's not smart from a rocket scientist brilliant i have all the answers perspective he's smart from the side of why can't we do that tell me why because i feel like we can't so tell me why we can't and then i'm just gonna give you an idea of why i think we can't and when you put people in the position to answer your questions right like sometimes business is one-sided where you're just you're just answering the questions asked but when you ask them back and you have an ability
Starting point is 00:53:22 to challenge without being aggressive you find new portals, you find new new revenue streams. And, you know, he's built an enterprise. Tyler Perry is a enterprise. And I don't think people really give enough credit where credit is due in Atlanta. You know, you got stages now that are owned by a black man. Right. The crazy part is who do you think partners with this black man to do projects now the studios have to partner with tala period because they need to access his fucking world of of of production we need places to shoot and film atlanta the tax breaks are insane to have the mindset to say i'm going to build here because people come here because of the tax breaks are insane to have the mindset to say i'm gonna build here because people come
Starting point is 00:54:05 here because of the tax breaks so no matter what they have to do business with me whether you want to or not marvel was using tyler perry stages do you understand that yeah like people don't understand the way this motherfucker moves man i applaud him i love him to death um Hove Hove I'm I am uh I'm different in the world of VC because I've watched how Hove has moved um that motherfucker has no problem with sitting down talking to me and sharing information but more importantly Hove J Brown um the world of partnership when it comes to investing is not just about your money it's not just about putting your money into things it's about understanding how to make businesses grow he grabs the concept shout out to naz too now there's another one that was into it for years and was quiet about it these
Starting point is 00:54:54 guys grabs the concept of i can bring value to a company and me bringing value to a company if a company grows and they exit oh my god i'm a of that win. I'm a part of that financial success. How many ways can we figure out how to do that? And what you start to realize is that the persona behind the star, well, it's bigger because that star, his value is not only a shaking hands, but the other business relationships that the company may need may be easier to access because of his now involvement your value is big on your likeliness so what i've watched and understood was how people used their likeliness when you look at brian brian moves different now brian's likeliness
Starting point is 00:55:38 is valuable so va brian being in the world of business with said partners and those partners now embedding themselves in his business and the things that he Wants to do those relationships grow Your likeliness is the biggest fucking asset that you have so in the world of venture in a world of investing Well when you invest your time that's stronger than a dollar So watching the way that my brothers move and I say brothers because that's what I mean that's that's that's information that's school we're all in school so my respect and admiration for the people that have given the blueprint and that don't hesitate to give the information I applaud it Oprah Oprah has
Starting point is 00:56:22 given the blueprint for years I don't think people really understand what all Oprah has going on. Like Oprah's got a network, a network. Like Oprah's got a full functioning network that has a full fucking day of content each day of the week. That's it. That's, that's not,
Starting point is 00:56:39 that's not small. Like you got a network. That means I can watch a show produced by and developed by underneath the brand of whether she's present there, not there. This machine is controlled and operated because of her vision and her want to create opportunities for. So I don't I don't think that these are the conversations that people have enough. And these are ones that I'm just conscious of. I'm aware of. So that's where my motivation comes from.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Uh, Steve Harvey, love him to death. There's nobody that cusses and talks to me more. Motherfucker do right. Do what you're supposed to do. Steve, he cusses for no reason to very foul mouth.

Here's what we're going to do. Here's how we're going to access it. And before I knew it, Ruben had me in a room with all of the partners that he has. You know, Ruben's got crazy business with fanatics.
