Looking good, brother. I mean, it's a little weird because we grew up together.

We knew what I'm in high school. I know Omar. What are you doing to me? I know him since high school. And when we first met, Omar in high school, he used to carry around this little blue ball. He was skinny, had a big ass head and shoulders. But he looked like an arrow, but you could just put him in the thing and sling him. He's had a big ass head and he had this little blue ball and he would just bounce it all around.

And all I could think was, I'm going to kick his ass. For no good reason because the thing was, you remember, you, because, because, you, because, because, the the tha, because, because, because, because, because, the tho, because, because, because, thi, thi, because, because, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they, they, they, the, the, they, thin, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.

I wasn't jealous. I wasn't jealous. I, I, I, well, I just thought you, it was. He thought I was gag. You know what I'm saying? He got a little blue ball, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

Your plot was to hang around the girls and be the friendly guy and you be friends over time and wear them down. You ain't shit. You know, hey, persistence. It works. You know, we got to have resilience. We actually didn't like each other until we almost fought. And we had we was in the lock one and then we got each other in the headlock.

I remember like, man, there was one role you did higher learning. Yeah. I remember I watched that movie and your ending scene was so powerful.

I was sitting there in awe. I was speechless. And at the end of the movie, he's just walking away. And I said, in my head, I said, bro, you're walking toward a million dollars right now. I remember you actually saying it. And then it happened. Youard a million dollars right now. I remember you actually saying it. You got a million dollars for your next movie. And I was just so proud because I was like, damn, I ain't treating for shit no more. Thank you.

What was your favorite role? You know what, you know, I always look at it like, I feel like each role is a piece of a mosaic that's a bigger thing that will be done once it's said and done for once my time on this earth is done. So I don't have a favorite role. I pour the same amount into every role that I pour into the next one. For me, but as you know, there's nothing like the first. You know that first, yeah, that first role is just like, oh, you know it's crazy. As you was telling me that, what, what, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. th. th. the th. the thi. thi. the thi. thi, the thi, thi, thi, the thi, the thi, thi, the the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. ti. today. today, today is today is today is today is today is today is today is today is today, that that that first role is just like, oh, you know it's crazy as to,

as you was telling me that I was sitting there going, what, did you learn the word mosaic? What? What are you talking around? What are you talking about? This? Ha ha ha! No, but you're an author now, man. This, this, this, this, this made me so proud of you. This book, I was like, this is the dude that cut every class is writing books. Yeah.

I couldn't even read your notes that you passed in me in class that was in some graffiti or weird language, but man, I'm so proud of you. What inspired you to write this book? Well, I just, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, th. th. th. thea, th. th. thea, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.....................

Well, I just, it's a coming of age book about these three teens. It takes place in 2098. And I just was imagining, what's the world gonna look like? Like, what's society gonna look like? And more importantly, for me, because we're born and raised in New York. What's New York gonna look like, you know, to those kids? And I just started dissecting, dissecting it and breaking it down

and really trying to look through the eyes of a budding mind. You know, because I'm really, you know, my mother was educated. So I'm really into speaking to kids at different schools and things of that nature and offer what I can. and that this is my offering th is my th is my th is my th is my th is my th is my th, th, the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thia. I thia, I thia, I thia, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi. I thi. I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. I'm thia, thia. Wea. Wea. We're thiaugh, thi. Wea, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi of that nature and offer what I can. And this is my offering in that way of, hey, climate change has happened. It's about classism, it's about sexism, it's obviously it's about racism, it's still in there. All the isms. And then how do we, you know, spend that on its head? Because it's really about these kids who are like trying to figure themselves out because you know that that 14

15 year old stages are awkward part of life like just just for anyone so it doesn't matter where you come from you can be from Arkansas and Nebraska or you could be from an urban space like Chicago or New York or Atlanta or whatever and there's I believe that there's something in there for every kid to take away Because it's also about escapism to give them something to like get them through the next day, you know I read the book and it's amazing and I'm very proud of you. Thank you. I swear it wasn't to that explanation you just gave me. I thought you cheated off somebody to write this book, but now I know. You do know those big words.

I love you, my brother. You guys go get the book. It's on Amazon right now. On Amazon. Give it up for my brother Omar Epps. Oma's Book, The Awakening now available.

I've learned. Never talk smack with a comedian. I did a long time ago, I did a movie with Bill Bellamy and Dio Huley. And I just, and when I did that movie, I realized to never say anything.

Because you, no, you can't because comedians, you guys are so perceptive. And you guys see everything you hear everything so I will not talk smack to you. Oh, that's okay. It's okay Morris you can talk smack you. Now the one thing I appreciate about the franchise is how they have black men being being friends and being real. How do you think like how important it is do you think the portrayal of friendships and relationships between black men is portrayed on TV? I think I think it was

very important for it for our movie just for the because listen this life that happens there's drama that happens and you know you're friends with somebody long enough there's bound to be some type of disagreements and arguments and all that type of situation however with our film it shows that we can overcome that is like no the the the the the th th the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. the. the. th it shows that we can overcome that. It's like no matter what your differences are, no matter what type of argument or disagreements you get into as a brotherhood you can still come together and be there for your brother. So I think that's one of the things that's helped this series prevail throughout the years. Yeah, you know I think yes, definitely. One of my favorite scenes is when thiiiiiiiiii thi thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the that's th.

food, come out of doubt, yes. That just made my heart. But I'm going to tell you my favorite part, the way you dealt with your son. Oh yes. It was, it was so good. Because every time you were, every you the you, every you, every th, every th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th,. Every thing, because every time you were prayed, I would be like, you have the wrong prayers, bro, you got the wrong prayer. He was like, let God change it, make God change it.

Right. Right, right. Right, right. Right, right. It was just a bald. Oh, wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. that. me because it was so new, the pronouns and there's something that really hasn't been explored too much on, especially in the black community. And I was like, I was on the fence because I was like, they don't really know why my character feels the way that he feels. I mean, people can come to their own conclusion. So it was athis tough storyline for me. Eric was a great actor that played my son. And the way that it was written was so beautiful. So thank you for, thank you for enjoying that. Thank you.
