That was a good night But we that was years ago. I'm talking 2010 Everyone takers came out, you know, that was a long time ago. Now we're getting old. Yeah, damn I'll take it. I'll take it. I want to go back to um, okay with acting What are some of the big films or what are the biggest actors you've ever acted with before you came to country? Secret headquarters is probably my biggest one Jerry Brookheimer Y'all know who that is. Jerry Brookheimer. Jerry Brookheimer is, you know, getting much bigger than that Um, and I was the only Atlanta actor on the main cast. It was Owen Wilson Michael Pena's Jesse Williams. It come out. It's come out in theaters August 5th. Okay. Yep I can't stand that. Yeah take it because it's a it's a um, it's like a thing It's a hundred something 200 million something but it's a lot of sci-fi and All the different stuff. So yeah, but it's um, that's gonna be when I drop. It's gonna take me to another level Raising Deion. I was there I did Chicago Chicago med I know that big 50 Kings of Joe Berg on Netflix. We doing season two. I go to South Africa to shoot season two of that That's awesome. How do you have been? Yeah season one. Okay. He's kicking it. Yeah, that's a big talk right there Africa. I love Africa. Really? That's what that's the other guy Out of all the places you've been Which one you like the most out of Africa out of everywhere you ever been really hands now. We gotta go to Africa Yeah, I went to South Africa I would tell you guys you need to go to to port you up in the Mexico Had been to Mexico you gotta go to Puerto Vallarta. I've heard of it. You gotta give me there Okay, books or tickets gotta go, but Africa is the best Then you just go there. You were just in Mexico. I was in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta It was like that What do you know about it the most? It's just like a paradise. It's like you got the huge rocks But then you got the ocean and then you got the behind you was like all these trees It's just like you in the middle of all of this and it's beautiful Have you been to Jamaica yet? Now I'm going to Jamaica next week off the tour. That's our hometown. Okay. So see that's why you said port of What's going on? There you go You know going back to the acting the thing that Um, I think about myself being older when people look at someone like you your size how you look They're not thinking about you being in comedy. They're thinking about you being in action action romance all of that. Yeah So, um, how how many times do you get that stereotype? I get it a lot man. I think uh one of the stereotypes I get when you are a masculine black man We are definitely in an attack. It's not a it's for sure. Oh, I know it. Um, so it's like If I'm not doing something feminine Um Then this the other option is like, hey, let's make him a player Right doesn't make him the g-lands ain't shit. Do you know what I'm saying? So it's like you You don't see that many comedians the only other comedian that I can think about that was tall and and muscular Was um, that guy that came down in friday the bald-headed one terry cruz terry cruz Is he a comedian to me? He was funny. So I don't think you're comedian I call him a comedian because he was fun. He was hilarious. He was to me In that show Okay fine my my sense of humor is different from everybody else's I guess Well to me he was funny. Okay. Yeah. So when you think I'm being the first big swole, dude, that's actually funny. Wow Really, it's really a lot. Is there a lot of guys just swole and That that no comedian to do stand up. No No, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm a trailblazer And so, you know one thing I noticed about um, because I be because we be studying YouTube and all of that and in country how important is it to have the right title when you're posting clips Good question. That's everything That's like how important is the intro is a man's introduction to a woman for you get a number Same thing Hey, man. God damn you fine girl You ain't clicking on that Damn what you been doing tonight? You ain't clicking on that Hey, how you doing? Because I'll be laughing at some of his titles because I know it's all of his titles start with when Every single one of them start with when such and such and such clickbait clickbait But then I know when you look at other people's they always put the celebrity's name first so they'll say, you know, um Countryway and xyz this this this and that's what they use as their clickbait is putting their name first But in his it is put when such and such and he'll have he'll say like When x girlfriend brother cousin, and I'm like, hold on. Hold on. Let me calculate this because he was keeping the same thing Right. So I'm trying to yeah, I'm trying to figure it out. I'm like, okay X brother cousin. How is how are they related? I'm like, I'm like, oh, okay. I get it now Yeah, no, I definitely um when I look at you and countryway and and what what's the two boys named them sons of heels Oh, uh, Tony Tamar Tony and Tamar. He was on him this morning by taking a damn necklace. I think that was funny Trust the process No, man It's crazy because I look at my kids usually be here a lot of times on the cameras and stuff And I understand man that getting them involved is very important at an early age, man My kids grew up in this store. That's why we put the store here Right was so we could let them grow up in business and stuff and they still do other things of course make a great They get paid for that so they go continue that but um, you know, how often do y'all film? Uh, we might do once or twice a week once a week to film a bunch of skits How many skits we might do seven With the Miami we did like 12 We just go in so it's not just an everyday thing. No, we ain't got time for that Do you do you want to have time you you would Because you know, he drops like so many every day A lot of vote we put them in a vote. So I probably don't want to tell the sauce. Yeah, give it up. Give it up. Give it up I'll put it in there We film all we film all of the day and we you know I'm saying that we just kind of And then Wayne he just the whole story line is in his mind You know he comes he never runs out of ideas. No And he writes all of his stuff. Yeah, it's all It's a it's a world It's Wayne's words in his mind everything going on and then, you know, we'll shoot ideas to him Like what if we do this and sometimes he'll be like, oh, yeah, let's do that. Sometimes he'd be like Because he know where he wants it to I ain't gonna say in but he know his direction He want to go in you know what I mean? And sometimes it changed depending on the Because Wayne his he has a relationship with his fans. That's why he don't gotta put the celebrity name Because it's like it's like Tyler Perry You know better quality. So it's like I shouldn't say that go ahead Go ahead It's time to be I should say better quality, but you know what I mean? No, I know I mean I want to be honest with you I get upset about a lot of the Tyler Perry moves because I think the black men are depicted in a way to where we can be He's always said that I do this on every episode I go there because I know we already look bad enough to as we're being depicted out here And I'm like every move we got to be like we just crap We not good and that's the main character that's Getting the views and the things that happen for him is the one who's a deadbeat And you're gonna see me on Tyler Perry project. Why not? I don't because of that. I just don't want to work on these projects. I just not You don't think you'll have a good chemistry. I don't think I won't have good chemistry with his his work Well, I'll leave it at that And I understand you got to have self-awareness to understand that you understand it and he's doing this thing Yeah, yeah finding a bunch of money. He's a he's a he's very inspirational because he came from You know living in a car like I did I look to him as inspiration, but I just think his The lane he you know his his world. I wouldn't fit into Tyler Perry's world. Wow. So yeah, yeah The only thing I thought about with him were country when he's concerned is That big property that he purchased I'm like country we need to do something like that because he loves to support All of his family and just have like his cast and everything like that. He should supply something like that for Everyone and he could it could happen. It could happen. Yeah, because he ain't got he ain't got Tyler Perry money yet It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Do you do what's your top three uh actresses or actors of all time? Actors are actresses. Yeah actors and then I'm gonna go comedy next right. We got to see this of course Yeah, he talked to uh will after that slapped. Oh, yeah, they said it leading under the cap real Oh, man. Good one. Good choice You gotta go a female somewhere. I would have said Robert De Niro, but I'm gonna let you make it I love Robert De Niro. I'll do to that. Yeah any day black, you know I was gonna say Johnny Depp But damn Robert Robert De Niro I know it. That's my favorite. That's my favorite, man I was you know, I was gonna say Johnny Johnny Depp because he just so First time Johnny Depp go into the character. You know, I'm saying I look at characters like that like Denzel leading under the caprio I'm gonna go I'm gonna go at Robert. Well, but you know, sam yell he comes in and he acts You know, sam yell has this thing when you look at coming to america Or all those other early movies, uh, uh, what is there a white girl something about uh, it was like snake moan Yeah, when you go from there all the way to now the avengers and all that he's come a long ways, man I love samuel. I love him I just only was why he didn't in my top five because he can't eat the same character in every movie in every movie He doesn't change it up much. Yeah I did that when he did the training day. That's when y'all fail for it. I love Denzel in every single movie I see Denzel do it too That walk Do you realize how much that that country Wayne is Blessing you man and when you really think about it because I think about the fact of when you even when y'all decide to go Here or there or anything that happens because you don't know life hands you different things at different times You're building up your brand so much right now You know what I mean to where you're gonna be able to set your own number in different offices in different spaces However, you want to if if things keep going this year consistently like they're going I see a whole new horizon for you come 2023 2024. I'm being real Because you guys are working hard every day whether you want to say it is or not or whether it seems easy or whether Whatever it seems there's a lot of different content because there's always content over create for me anyway So there's a lot of content you guys are pushing out. This guy's got uh from uh, what's that boy drip to the old man? What's that old man named buddy buddy all the way to himself back over to where you Which you deal with him at that point a lot of people love that drip I love drip man I'm going to houston, but I definitely I want us. I gotta get country one on here I ain't gonna be happy until it's done said and done. I'm gonna ask him. I'm gonna ask you Yeah, yeah, but he he's just a dope dude man when it comes down to He loved Dallas too. He loved Dallas. He loved Dallas. Wow. Why he loved that because I came one time He was like, oh, that's my stuff right there He loved Dallas. I don't know what I don't know what it is But he said that a lot of people love doubt. He loved Dallas man He was he was he was kind of upset that we because you know, he didn't pick the cities. Yeah It was a few seasons. I think one was like I think it was like Detroit I know Dallas it was Dallas and two other places, but he loved the cowboys. That's why That nigga do a lot of cowboys How you got that cowboys getting hurt? That's the boy. Oh, he loved him cowboys So that's what it is Listen, man Boy that nigga that nigga be having me laughing when they lose all me and he got I said, this is the war Yeah, he loved him boy. He'd be cutting up about the cowboys and you know why you feel about the cowboys No, they don't like them neither there's Kansas I have a love hate relationship for the cowboys. Who's your team? I used to love Pittsburgh This cowboys All Boys ain't got a win or nothing. They still number one America's team Everybody hate when you say it, but that's who it is How are they the american team? How can they not be? No, they were to start a cowboys. That's what that's what americans are about No, no Who are you? Do you like do you even watch football? I don't even watch sports no more, man. I don't even really like I used to it The covid changed things for you with kind of everything. It made you stop football. I started watching football when um What's his name? I forgot a boy named Number seven cavernic. Okay with cavernic I boy cut it in this when I tried to come back. It just didn't have the same same. Yeah, it didn't did it And and so that's a that's a touchy situation But everybody had to come down off the high horse when all that stuff happened with florida and all that, you know, um Man, I just I don't I don't get it how They couldn't see it before that But hey, that's what make it people don't look through people's lenses Yeah, we do some biased people man when they come to everything and like I said acting has changed my perception of everything like religion and everything like I don't I'm not I'm not a christian. Okay, but I still you know, I still Can I just connect with people that are spiritual? Yeah, you know, if you were Muslim, whatever because I think that's where it starts It starts with religion and why we are people are so divided Because it's like gangs. I agree with that. I don't believe what I believe It's like damn at the end of the day, man. Do you steal? No, okay cool. You can come to my house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't give a damn view I don't care if people believe what I believe nigga if you steal you a thief That's it. That's it. Men's with little boys use a molester. Use a definitely I don't care. I don't care about what people believe I'm concerned with their character and what happens is You know, we got to this point where we saw absolute And this is why a lot of white people are the way they are when it comes to us Because it's start with religion. Yeah, you know, I mean I I have the right way. I know the way I and I and I learned like I said when I went on that journey I went on I realized when I sit here and watch this lady Who don't speak the same language as me and I watched her play with her little kids and I'm like That's a human being. Yeah And she loved that baby just like my mama loved me And she is going to try to do everything in her power to do the right thing by the higher power But her grandma told her the name of god was ugubaga. Yeah And in her heart, she's a little because the first god we know is our mama That's it. That's it. Mama's the first god, you know, yeah And she decided which god you're gonna believe him after that. Yeah, because that's how I got I found Jesus. My mom said look if your mama love you, I don't love you more than Jesus. I said, who was this? I got to meet this fella. Yeah. Yeah this same thing with Islam same thing So now we we expect somebody who was born the same way as us that ate off They might they mama's body like we did To just say hey, I'm I'm telling you the right way That's picture to believe me and if you don't you're not, you don't love god like nigga. What? Yeah, like so, you know, and I'm a preacher's kid. My mom was a preacher. Yeah after her gangster time, but She was reformed But that so that's I think that's where That's where for me is like now I'm able to like when it come to everything like gay people, you know Back in the day when I was You know, don't get me wrong. I still was like, oh hell no, you know, I ain't never going Um, and when I say hell no people I didn't love just it's okay. It's okay It's okay if if you were vegan Right, if you were vegan and I'm over here eating some some some chitlins and I got chitlin griefs. It's okay if you just say Oh, yeah It's okay. It's okay. It doesn't mean you might gonna burn a hell forever. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's okay I gotta say that because you know nowadays anything you say, what do you mean? It ain't for you. It ain't for me. But I Empathize now I do too because we've had we've had some guests on here lately And I was like, man, I gotta do this interview because I want people to know I'm not I'm I'm definitely I'm not biased But I understand evolution too like what you just said You just said that you're not this or that but in my heart Whatever you are, you're not what you're about to be as you move forward. You're growing every day I grow so when we start putting each other in boxes and saying, oh man, he not this because I ain't rocking with him That's you being immature immature because every day people are evolving people are changing The person I was a year ago two years ago. I'm not that person anymore Every day is a new day for us to be better on this earth. I love everybody man. I for the first time in my life I could say that Whereas this is how this is how I look at it. I look at it like this I can just it's okay to disagree true. It's okay to not like what I do. It's okay But if I see you I don't care if you got a boyfriend I don't care if you got ugly feet. I don't care if you was a little person. Whatever we call people nowadays If I see you fall into that water you about to drown I'm gonna try to get you out of there. Yeah So that's where I'm at now in my life. So I'm okay with saying I disagree with that I'm okay with somebody saying well, I believe you know, I believe in I believe in our light I don't believe what you believe in Mike. Okay, cool But let's just make sure you won't let each other drown Hey, yeah, that's how I look at it. I agree man I really be honest with you when you said you was coming on the show man and The phase on love and all the stuff that Ben said I think that's the only thing that Country Wayne brought up being the way it might have been a little bit You know, I can win a different way and I thought it would but I was thinking about country And I was like man, I got to get that dude on the show. I told you that that night You call you you hit us up like right during that time. I said a number god. I'm being real I was like, man, I I was trying to figure out how to link with these people. I asked Jordan Jackson We talked about country. Why don't join Jackson? That's another time when he he really loved Country Wayne man. He said they do help him man. He told some in-depth stories about country Because another thing that was nothing Jordan is committed to comedy Very much so and he one of the people that's like I'm gonna figure this out You know, you look at him like oh, he's hot, but he's very competitive. Yes, but When he first started doing the comedy thing in Atlanta people were taken to him And Wayne was like you funny This man got booed off the stage He said man, bro with Wayne He said when I got booed off the stage and I bombed I don't think he got booed. I don't think he got booed up He got bomb. He's he bombed. He said man when I bomb, bro I had I walked backwards to get my check from when I knew I was gonna see him again And he said, um, he's I got my check from and I just kind of my mind was like, yeah, usually That's the end and when I was like, all right, man. I'll see you next week He's like, I ain't fired. He said man, you funny, man. You gotta just we gonna just figure it out That's dope, man. That's this guy special, man. He's special. He's very special to keep on the tenacity Yeah, you know to keep going no matter what if he believes in something he ain't trying to hear He don't care when like it's been situations where me and him. I'm like, bro. I don't think that's persons I don't know about that. He's like, no, no They good He believes we're gonna figure it out and you're right. He'd be right. You know, I bet he'd be right I come out. Yeah, he was right, man. She just needed a little this and that They got a fire ass God didn't put me in position yet because I was like Off with her head All these females bro I don't know how they find them bro be a bunch of females different one I was like, that ain't the same girl from last episode I don't know how the what chase is the one that cast everybody. Oh, he always cast. That's how Yeah, that's how I mean chase know what I need to meet chase. That's why y'all find out all I might can go a little high with chase The chase is on it, you know Man, how long has he been working with country Wayne ever since he started they start so they so the skit started with them Wayne was like, yo I got an idea run with me Chase like, all right, because what chase used to be Soldier boys dj. Okay. Mm-hmm. So he wasn't even filming or doing anything like that before I know he does see it. Well, I don't know. I don't want to get the line, but I think I know he has cameras and he does I know he was like doing I think music videos. I think I don't I'm not sure but He's gonna start it with him though But when he do with that camp with that with that iPhone man, it's it's it's evolutionary Then he goes straight to a some scene at the end. I'll be watching him. I watch everything Man, you're gonna go where you gonna go today? I even think that part interesting Where these niggas gonna go? I said, what is he in this at and that water bottle niggas gonna go in that whole right I say because I'm into this Yeah Everything especially when you into that Well, he catching reactions like it's like In my mind like how does he know How do you know I was gonna make that reaction? Yeah It's like watching you, you know, I'm like is he watching outside of the phone and you know, I mean like I don't know It's written No, that's what he said earlier. It was like it's like From his flames head. Yeah when like yeah, I don't know if you take it from his head on the paper and then give it Not not he's just like hey We doing this we're gonna this we need this happen. This these are things that need to happen And however y'all say and whatever y'all say to get to that point. There's a gift. What's the end game for you, Mike? End game for me riches That's it, you know definitely um I want to be so wealthy that I can Put out some kind of program because you know people listen to you when you got money. That's right To teach black people That we are african We're not african-americans and teach africans that we are africans Because that's why we so behind Because it's like african-american and so it's bullshit. Think about it. If you have a A a german shepherd That's born in america. What is it? German German shepherd That just happened to be born in america. Yeah, you're right. That's who we are But see what happens if you say i'm an african-american. We separate ourselves from our source And now we are visitors. We have long term visitors, but we visitors over here. Yeah, and then the people over there You know, it's the reason why we can take over africa because what they did was they said hey This is the biggest continent with all the resources. We're going to divide you into countries It's like the states. Yeah, cuz i new yorker, you know country is the state is the state So now we got y'all we can take over this little area If we can kind of like this little area we separate y'all then we separate the the more Evolved versions of you in america and tell them they're not african You know i'm saying you can't go you can't shoot no Arabic man in the back for no reason because he got a whole country that's gonna say hey, what was that about? Yeah, you can't shoot no chinese person in the back of the head for no reason Because he's driving fast because you got a whole country that make everything in this country saying hey, my friend. What was that about? So when you connect when you when you disconnect Something from its source It has no power though Yeah, it's true. So what happens is that like That if you go to mexico right now is you like this is looking real nice. Well know why because The mess because they came over here and learned the game and made the money Whether it was legal illegal. I haven't made it. They send money back And they also sent back the ideas The asian people that come over here go to school here. Ah, quiet looking down silent shit They learn it and they learn in the game and they send in the money back and they send in the information back I graduated from harvard Man, but everything that I do is gonna go back to here. That's right. We don't do that because we don't think we're from there This is why we in the last place So I got it my my plan and my goal my end goal is to get to the point where I'm strong enough and powerful enough to Get that message across because if if africa was you the united states of africa Everywhere else in the world would be a third world country Wow That's dope being um an actor tell me about a time that was Whether be racially profiled or just the time that was very discouraging for you and how you handled it um Ah, man I had two incidents One of them almost whipped me whipped his old man ass Um, oh man. Yeah, old white man. Yeah, here we go. This the story of terry cruv got grabbed in the crowd Yeah, see that would that'd been me. That's That's the terry cruv grabbed in the crowd story come here. Yeah, he's gonna be Actually, it was like man, it was some man knocking shit over strangling some man. We had to shoot him Because you grab my shit. I'm gonna have to put me down like a dog. I'm gonna be biting the nigga there But I had two incidents one was I was the one set of a show big show I'm gonna sit in the name of it and there was a guy. He's the focused guy, you know And he didn't know I was cast. He thought I was an extra So I'm sitting behind him and I'm watching he I'm kind of watching because I'm I'm always involved Because usually the actors sit in the trailer. Yeah, I don't do that. It's it's what they call Motivated actor. He's motivated. He's I just want to be a part of it. I want to put the energy before I come on set So I'm sitting out there And he he turns around and says don't watch me. It's distracting Hmm I said, who the fuck you talking to? That's what you said. Yeah, who the fuck you talking to man? He looked like because you know extras don't never say like shit, you know And he was looking like oh shit. This one talks Then this one whoop ass too. So explain to me who the fuck you talking to talking about some He was talking about crazy. I said man listen, man And I told him I said, oh my god I got a big one in that But what did you tell him? I just told him I was on whoop. I just don't talk to me crazy unless you could fight He probably helped him Yeah, I said let's you let's you a different type of old man that know how to do some kind of martial arts So I don't know about you need to watch how you talk to me, sir Because I'll lose this job. I'm already rich What do you say? Walk down got the hell away from you. Give it a story. This is this is okay. Let me give you one that's Crazy than that I can't say his name very famous I probably never worked in his production but He was talking crazy To me and there like he was talking all crazy everybody I told him in front of the whole auto producers. I said listen, man Because he was like because I guess they said something like hey, man They could fill my energy. I'm like, yeah, because I don't do all don't disrespect me like just talk to me But what happens is when you get to see the number one slave owner of today's time is opportunity Yeah, yeah, this is why these niggas are scared you say you're dropping bars that nigga boy that nigga dropping bars in here That's real. So this is why we have all these people these high power guys They'll see nothing about that or yeah, so what happens is when you get onto these sets they feel like Oh, he's under the slave owner opportunity I could treat him however and he's gonna deal with it because I'm like no y'all don't understand I got five million dollars of crypto. Yeah, I ain't trying to beat your ass. Oh man So what happened was he's he's huge. You know what I'm saying everybody knowing. Oh, you know, he is Anybody asshole. Yeah, but I noticed so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna watch you And I'm watch how you talk to everybody and once I realized you talking to me like that. I know what it is These people want to de-masculate black men. Is it emasculate? You know talking about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah de-masculate sounds better Let's go because I'm the type of person where I ain't gonna do this role. You I ain't put on no fucking dress No, I'm not doing certain things that I just don't feel like I'm comfortable doing I'll give fuck what y'all feel like I don't feel like that. So What happens is when you when you're masculine and you want to sit with all these women I gotta do something to let it be known that you're under me Yeah, so I'm gonna talk crazy because I think I think you're I think you're a slave to opportunity Yeah, so I walked over to him put lightly from the air all his producers and everything. I said listen to me I said Talk to me how you would talk to me in the dark alley Because I act the same way I act in the dark alley right here right now So if you don't if you don't feel like you were talking to me in the dark like that don't do it now Because the same thing I would do there I would do it here He shut up talk. He changed that tune. Oh, you know, I don't take it personal. I'm just it's a lot going on. That's cool I got a lot going on. Let me see who he sounded like the nigga actor. So you got to catch this That didn't sound just like the nigga like who the hell was that we all go through shit I go through so much You know I'm saying I'm like in my mind like nico You ain't never lived in though 97 tour de corolla. I was living in a car And I've never talked nobody sideways So you ain't gonna do it because you're trying to rush and get the project done I'm a human being bro. I don't talk to nobody like that I treat every woman like a queen and every man like a king I don't give a damn it when I'm all set and everybody will attest to this that's work with me Everybody when I'm all set I treat the person that drives the transportation person The people in the crafty like I treat the person who put the money behind the film That's how I treat everybody. So I can't let you talk to me like that, sir Because I'm too I make sure and I catch myself, you know me because you get to this point when you're first team first team You know, it's like, oh get the umbrella, you know I'm like, why does what little woman got the umbrella over me? Yeah, that's real. I'm like, no, baby I can't get first team girl. I put that umbrella over you. So you you actually you you actually Don't lose place of who you are. You can't because gotta remind you he reminded me before exactly I lost place of who I was when I was getting that street money And because I had came from you know, you when you broke and you never had no money And it's like a lot of women was a really, you know, they don't give a damn about the hands of shit when you broke Let me tell you Well, you Don't care about height. Let me tell you how tell you is if you work at rex tv And you making $500 every two weeks Women don't you No Idris Oh, you could say it you've been you've been I say it right Y'all gonna be in bed like I think we're good. Yeah, we're real good when you said the nigga What you got you just know the nigga like that No, but so I came so really I was I was I was traumatized because I had Came from nothing and now I was getting this fast money and I started being treated different by women and people Everybody by my jokes and stuff. I was like, yeah, so it was like a bit of a arrogance Yeah, insecurity, you know, I'm saying is insecurity started kicking in if somebody didn't want to talk to me or somebody did something Or if somebody did anything that didn't had that had less than me. I might be like broke that nigga You know I'm saying did you go to counseling? Man the spirit that that journey Like it's something that that's in you the word when you speak you always showing the fourth The way that you corrected yourself as we've been doing that journey when my mom went to heaven My mom is my counselor from heaven. Yeah when she went to heaven and when I once I I came back from being a walking dead And when I went on that spiritual journey, I when I did I traveled the world I went because my thought process was Okay, I've been going to this church and they've been telling me everybody else wrong Yeah, that's like me going to a band's dealership and asking them. Hey, what's the thing about the bmw? Oh, you're gonna burn the hell When you get to the end of the road, that's the reality. So I'll say let me let me go to everybody's Let me go to the binge dealership 10 by your car Vovo 10 by your car. Calak. You got to go there. Calak. 10 by your car. I gotta pull up on you It come with realms or not so In doing that I learned empathy and then being an actor acting is you are being a trained actor If you don't have empathy I can't you can't how can I become something? Because you have to live that role like when they give you a role. How long do you have to Be that person before you actually have to perform as that person as soon as you pick it up You have to take the side of this so it's like The reason why I can't keep playing these certain roles like hey, you're gonna be the cheating boyfriend And when you know, okay cool But when they give me this they give me the script and I read it and the If if you write it like I'm writing this as just a cheating ass boyfriend. I can't really deal with this script Because I have to It's like You're on the nose with the writing. Yeah, it has to be Give me something I can hold on to like why am I like this? Why am I the cheating boyfriend? Why am I the you know the abusive man? Why am I like that? You know, I have to go somewhere and find where did it go wrong for this person his life So I can empathize with him. Yeah. So that's why I don't play sir. I'm never gonna play a rapist No, I'm never gonna play certain roles that I'm not willing to open up to say. Oh, I understand. Yeah, you know, I'm not I'm not there yet Yeah, I mean, but It made me learn how to empathize And then also you have to before I can master playing someone else after master myself. Yeah. Yeah, so I have to say I was acting like that because I was insecure. Yeah, you know, I mean, yeah I had it. Why was I why did I get listening you say that a few times since we've been talking man It's so dope to to witness somebody who's been through stuff See, some people don't know how to see that because I've been Hey, so when you done been through it and you know, you change you came from a long way That's why I talk about evolution like I do because I understand where I was at and I understand I ain't where I want to be and I'm steadily moving. I'm a work in progress, right? Oh, I'm a work in progress So we all trying to get there and we not there So who am I to set up in this stage of my life and say this ain't right and I don't I'll never feel that way Because I don't know if what I've never I don't know. So when I start teaching a word I would always teach you could worship God what you stand Always had an open Open knowledge for God. That's what I would call it. You know what I'm saying and This is something that I took, you know, I took I took in uh, I believe that way and I taught that way And that's what helped me, you know what I'm saying? So when I see people don't matter who you are what state you in I'm always try to treat you like I was going to be treated like what I said off camera. That's important, right? That's right, man. Who is God? God think about God, right? This is how I struggle with Think about this person Who was told by their grandma his name is Elabela whatever And this person said I'm going to do right by people My whole life. I'm gonna try to be better how we are. We're evolving. Yeah, we're evolving every day But they're still evolving under what they was told is the way, right? Yeah This person gives and gives and loves and all these different things And it's like I can never understand Like Why would God just take this person and let them burn forever? Because they didn't believe what somebody else told them that God said But they tried to do the right thing, you know, I mean, so that's why I got to the place I'm like, you know what man? I just want to do I don't want to do right by people I just want to love people and anybody who loves people I don't care about what they believe because we ain't gonna agree on everything. No way My sister I got a sister. I died for I don't agree everything what she she believes in and what she do But you know, I love her, you know, I mean, and I think that's what that's what true love is True love is being able to disagree. That's what people gotta learn nowadays, too. Yeah Is this the camera? They look at it. See it true love is me being able to disagree with your ass And you disagree with me But I'm still gonna put you by that watch you by the ground. That's what's important. That's very I can love you And never agree with certain things you do in your life That's real love agreeing Is not acceptance. It's like the same thing. I know people right now That I love and I don't agree with anything that they do And that's okay I hate to be living this world now where it's like You are a This and a that and it like shut the hell up But the thing about what you just said about those people that you love that You know, but you not what if one day they came to you and said this is that and this is this and this is Why do that then you would have a chance to change how you feel, right? So that's why I always say I don't just or I could give them a different perspective may help them I'm different because sometimes if you live in your bubble all the time I never really come out of your bubble as in your train of thought Then you don't understand certain things But one person can say something to you and you perceive it in a different way. You're like, you know what? You're right. I should try to do this a little bit different or I should, you know, look at it in a different way People don't see anything, but your perspective their own perspective. You know what I mean? Let me bring this only in top three comedians comedians of all time Eddie Murphy Eddie Murphy that number one Yeah, but Eddie Murphy let go let me hear your explanation about Eddie because you got an opinion about it Oh, yeah, no Eddie Murphy and I tell Wayne is all time a lot of people looking Wayne is the next Ernie Mack Because he country I see him as Eddie Murphy Eddie Murphy is number one to me because He can do the like you said earlier the serious funny.

He was a serious movie. Eddie ever came in Serious moments the one where where that lady died. Oh, yeah I hated that movie, but it was serious. It was serious. I took him serious. He played it. He played it well You know, that's why kevin heart is trying to do what he's trying to do He's like kevin heart understands that I want to be revered as a great actor Because that's what made Eddie Above everybody funny. He can do whatever they can jump like when you see life Eddie, but he He's iconic. He's everything. You know what I mean? Damn I gotta say Martin is up there for me. That's my boy right there.

She ain't one of my top three These women don't play about them. They are so but but that would be as an abasit But not in your top three. She ain't better than the three people I think to me My third favorite Now he's my favorite stand-up of all times Damn, I forgot about Dave Chappelle Dave Chappelle one of them guys But who did you just remember?

We do it a lot and and I think I don't look at the numbers I just look at the fact of We stay consistent God's gonna do what he poses to do. We ain't got to worry about nothing because to me the goal is not to make this be work You want to treat this like you're just having fun every day because as soon as you start to get stressed and treat it like work It it it becomes Work Like the skits Okay, cool. You forget. I mean, I'm like, we're making a bunch of money, but you forget about that three minutes That's what you said y'all skits three minutes three minutes.
