00:05Hey guys, thanks so much for watching the show.
00:08We have some live pods coming up.
00:10On April 22nd, we will be in Port Chester, New York.
00:13And on May 9th, we will be at the Wiltern in Los Angeles
00:16for the Netflix is a Joke Festival.
00:18So come on and hang with us.
00:21Lauren told me once, after 50, you don't wear jeans.
00:25And I just thought that was like a funny rule.
00:28You don't wear jeans.
00:28Because I like to picture him, like, in a store at 50
00:32and being like, no, it's over, where he just
00:37had that pivotal moment.
00:39Shake his head, though.
00:40He goes, slacks.
00:41Slacks it is.
00:42Slacks and khakis.
00:43Slacks it is.
00:52Slacks it is.
00:52Pete, you're a dad now.
00:54I'm a dad, dude.
00:55How are you feeling?
00:56It's fucking nuts.
00:57It's nuts because I remember when you had your first year.
01:00Yeah, yeah.
01:00It was my first year.
01:02And she was on the floor.
01:03And I was like, holy shit, that looks crazy.
01:06That was how it was.
01:07Like, imagine me watching, like, Tina, Amy, Maya, all of them, like,
01:12going through multiple pregnancies while they're at work.
01:14That's crazy.
01:15They were just, they never missed.
01:17While at work?
01:18The only time they would miss a show would be, like, the actual birth weekend.
01:22The birth.
01:22That's fucking nuts.
01:24Yeah, they were super soldiers.
01:26I haven't seen you in a while.
01:27How are you doing?
01:28I'm good, yeah.
01:29When you came to the show last, when was that?
01:31A month ago?
01:32Two months ago?
01:33Six weeks?
01:34Eight weeks?
01:3412 weeks?
01:35You know?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Something like that.
01:37It was like six weeks.
01:38Yeah, that was fun.
01:40It's always fun.
01:40Was it a cold open that you did?
01:42I did a cold open, and I tried to do a character, and then I got a Higgins Lorne note,
01:47and he
01:48said, why start now?
01:51He goes, we paid to have Pete Davidson here.
01:54Bullseye.
01:54Yeah, and I, for like-
01:56Why start now?
01:57That's why those guys do comedy.
01:59Yeah.
01:59Like, it stings, but it is funny, you know what I mean?
02:04Yeah.
02:05Oh, Lorne, when Lorne drops like one of the-
02:07Oh.
02:09Bomb shifts.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Because it's like, how did I not see that coming?
02:12And they're sneaky as fuck, because like in that meeting, like if you do a bad pitch-
02:16Yeah.
02:17And you are new, he'll let you have it.
02:21Yeah.
02:21But you, it's so, he's so unassuming because he's playing Snood, and you think, and he's
02:27eating popcorn, and you think he's not paying attention at all.
02:30Snood.
02:31Do you remember when Taron used to start every pitch with, hi, Taron, I was in 12 Years a
02:37Slave.
02:38Whew.
02:39Do you remember that?
02:39Yes.
02:40Now that you reminded me, yes.
02:42His pitches were my favorite, and Moffat's pitches were my favorite.
02:45Moffat was a dedicated, like, I don't give a shit if this is the Hindenburg.
02:51I'm going down with it, week after week.
02:54Like, you got to respect that shit, because there would be gyms in there somewhere, you
03:00know?
03:00And it's also like, who are we to judge, I guess?
03:04I mean, I get it.
03:05Lauren's heard a million, so I guess he's a bit of a judge.
03:08Yeah.
03:08He's qualified.
03:09Well, you don't realize until you're about four years in, that that is just to make everybody
03:14laugh.
03:15You're probably not going to write that.
03:17Yeah.
03:17It's just like, to like get the host all loose.
03:19But like, your first few years, you're like, I'm going to write this.
03:23I miss how the pitch meeting used to be before COVID, when we were all...
03:27I miss the in-between dress and air, because that was the greatest.
03:32Like, when we were all like, just piling that writer's room, everybody just like, half makeup,
03:38still fucking glue-faced, and just fingernail-biting, motherfuckers at the table, like, rewriting
03:45them, like, furiously.
03:46And I'm like, when do we take a break on Saturday?
03:49It's like, at no point.
03:50Like, if you haven't had a chance to like, relax yourself by four, it's over.
03:54Well, you feel...
03:55I feel like you have the keys to the kingdom there, where you have it figured out, you
04:00know?
04:00I gotta, because I'm a napper, you know what I'm saying?
04:03So I have to like, measure my shit and just find at least 30 to 40 to 50 to just
04:11shut
04:12it down, you know what I'm saying?
04:13And then like, I can like, wake back up and then be good for the night, because it's an
04:17abnormal schedule, for sure.
04:18And then being a napper on top of that, you know what I'm saying?
04:22It's like, yo, I need a fucking break, so...
04:24Like, you're always really nice to, not that anyone's not nice, but you were always really
04:29nice to anybody new, and you were very like, and I thought that was just so important to
04:34have like, in a very, it's a very scary place when you're new there.
04:39It is, and it was, you know, it was a passed down thing, you know, that I was like, really
04:46wanting to be like, embraced and taken under a wing, you know what I mean?
04:50Because I've been in the game a while, and like, you know, being on Nickelodeon and having
04:56our own shows and shit, people just assumed that we were good already, like we didn't
05:01really need much, you know, kind of like, fraternity of the biz, you know what I mean?
05:06Of older, like, like some people would give us tidbits, but nobody would just like, really
05:12be like, come this way, and like, that's how Tracy was for me, you know what I'm saying?
05:15He and Tracy was you for how you were for me?
05:17Yeah.
05:17So it was like, once that happened, I was like, oh, this is a traditional place that
05:22I've been like, waiting to be involved in, like that kind of thing, and it was just like,
05:26my pleasure to like, pass down any secrets I can, you know what I'm saying?
05:30Because like, yeah, Tracy was like, you know, let me show you some things, but no one can
05:34tell you all the things, you know what I'm saying?
05:36So you still spend a whole lot of time discovering, oh shit, I'm late, or I didn't hear the call,
05:42or like, all this other shit, like where should I really be, and like, you know, where should
05:46I really be hovering on Saturday?
05:48Because you want to like, I don't know if you're not from New York, you want to explore
05:52New York, or you want to explore Midtown, or the building, or whatever, you just want to
05:55like, do shit, as opposed to just being stuck in that proximity, or whatever, but it's just
06:00safer.
06:00It's a rough proximity, it's really funny how the Christmas tree, the Christmas turns
06:05on you, if you ever work at SNL, because, it is the worst month of the year, in terms
06:11of that, but Christmas is my favorite, it's so like, it's very stressful.
06:16But the idea of the tree, when I grew up, I was in Staten Island, we're going to see
06:20the tree.
06:21You were lucky, because we're watching that shit on TV.
06:24Yeah, first year at SNL, I was like, fuck this tree.
06:27What year was it when you joined?
06:282014?
06:30But people still didn't really talk until born.
06:3240.
06:33Exactly.
06:34Yeah.
06:34You know what I mean?
06:35It came in 40 years deep, bro.
06:37Yeah.
06:37That's crazy.
06:38There's a lot of memories in that couch.
06:41My favorite is when you say Belushi's toenails in the carpet.
06:48Because it's like, it's a very possible kind of thing.
06:51You know what I mean?
06:52Oh, for sure, dude.
06:53You know how many fucking late nights, someone was probably alone in the office and was like,
06:57just scratch it.
06:58I could jerk off.
06:58Just scratch it.
06:59You know, I could jerk off real quick.
07:00Yeah.
07:02Before, so if you forget your key, I don't know if it's still like this, but if you forget
07:06your key, after a while they shut the, like, these doors down if you don't have your keycard.
07:13And that's where the bathroom was.
07:14So, someone told me Norm used to just pee in the trash can in his office.
07:20Norm was the wildest.
07:22Like, Norm was the first one that, like, broke the glass menagerie of that place to me.
07:30You know what I mean?
07:31Because it was very like, yo, this is a museum.
07:34Like, respect this shit.
07:35Don't touch this shit.
07:36Highest level.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Be on time.
07:38I was always getting in trouble.
07:39You know what I mean?
07:39For just doing this and that and staircases and shit or whatever.
07:43And just, like, not knowing that there's cameras everywhere and just, like, just being young
07:47and dumb or whatever.
07:49But Norm came through that bitch literally smoking a cigarette.
07:53And it's like, you know, on the 17th floor, it's like, these are like offices.
07:56You know what I'm saying?
07:57Oh yeah.
07:57It stays in there.
07:59Corporate America.
08:00Yeah.
08:00You know what I'm saying?
08:01And he was, it was like, I don't know, 6, 7 p.m. or whatever.
08:06But he was smoking a cigarette.
08:08And then he just put it out on the carpet.
08:10That's wild.
08:11I was like, that's wild.
08:15That's wild, dude.
08:16Because in this area, this is where I first met literally everybody.
08:20Because it was in that conference room area or whatever.
08:22Right.
08:22And, like, to just watch him just standing in the doorway and just, like, kind of, like, smirking
08:28at the whole thing because of his relationship with the show, I'm sure.
08:31Right.
08:31And, you know, it was just like, I don't know, that shit was a wild perspective to see.
08:36You know what I'm saying?
08:36Because he literally just, like, didn't give a fuck and was smoking for a while.
08:40And then, like, yeah.
08:41It was an American spirit.
08:43Smoking a full cigarette.
08:44And then just put it out.
08:46Like, just dropped it and stepped on it.
08:48Kind of put it out.
08:48Not, like.
08:49That's how I would like to be remembered, honestly.
08:51Yeah.
08:52That's like a fire.
08:53That's a fire thing to be remembered for.
08:55Yeah.
08:56No, that, when you first get in there, so you moved from Atlanta, right?
09:01So, yeah, I grew up in Atlanta, but then we went to Orlando and then L.A.
09:04So I was in L.A. when I moved to New York.
09:07And was SNL, like, the goal?
09:10Or was, because for me it was someone was just like, hey, you want to audition for this?
09:14And I was like, yeah, sure.
09:15I don't know.
09:15You were hyper young, bro.
09:17So, like, I don't even know if you even understood, like, the magnitude.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Yeah.
09:24Like, I'm sure you heard of the show.
09:26You're from New York.
09:27You know what I'm saying?
09:27So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:28Like, that thing, that, you know, that show.
09:31And, of course, it's a big deal because it's a TV show.
09:33And, like, this, that, and the other.
09:36However, that being said, like, you haven't had a chance to, like, really know.
09:42Because I didn't have a chance to really know the history.
09:44You know what I mean?
09:44And, like, how much and, like, what they've been doing and how wide that reach really kind
09:49of is locally.
09:50You know what I'm saying?
09:51Right, yeah.
09:51I'm in my 23rd year there.
09:53You know what I'm saying?
09:53It's crazy.
09:54Just insane.
09:55You're like LeBron, dude.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:57So, to answer your question, was SNL the goal?
10:00Yeah.
10:01Kind of.
10:01Like, I'd never seen possible.
10:03You know what I mean?
10:03So it was like, yeah, sure.
10:04We would love it.
10:05We were talking that shit when we were little.
10:06Like, we're the SNL for kids.
10:08Right.
10:09You were, though.
10:10Yeah.
10:11It was like, yeah, we would love to.
10:12All that and Keith McKellar legitimately hilarious shows, though.
10:17Yeah, they were great.
10:18Like, it's not just, like.
10:19Great casted shows.
10:20You know what I mean?
10:21And great, well-written shows.
10:22And, like, performing was like a nice, perfect storm.
10:25You know what I'm saying?
10:26Of something new and a platform that would allow for new ideas.
10:31Like, having fucking top 20 or whatever kind of hip-hop and R&B artists kind of, like,
10:37on a regular basis as opposed to just, like, pop artists kind of shit.
10:40You know what I'm saying?
10:41Right.
10:42It was a specific kind of, you know, a vibe in the beginning kind of shit.
10:46So, shout out to them for letting us take a chance and, like, give God the glory for talented kids,
10:52man.
10:52You know what I'm saying?
10:53Yeah.
10:53It was pretty great.
10:54That's all I grew up on.
10:55All that.
10:55The Amanda Show.
10:56Yeah.
10:57The Amanda Show.
10:58The Amanda Show.
10:58Yeah.
10:58So, yeah.
10:59So, when SNL came calling, it was like, holy shit.
11:03You know what I'm saying?
11:03I never really thought that I'd be living in New York longer than I've lived anywhere.
11:07Right.
11:08Like, I'm living in New York longer than I've lived in Atlanta, bro.
11:10That's crazy.
11:11That's crazy.
11:12Yeah.
11:12Yeah.
11:12And I'm not going to get into, like, is he going to leave or whatever.
11:15But at, like, 23 years, you still clearly enjoy it.
11:22Yeah.
11:22And that's where, I guess, is my point, like, with Lauren is, like, am I facing one of those
11:26moments where I'm, like, I'm kind of, like, no, I'm good here.
11:30And I think I did have one of those, like, decision-making things probably around, you
11:37know, once I'd, like, caught Daryl.
11:40You know, Daryl was, like, 14.
11:42Right.
11:42She was like.
11:42That's when I came.
11:43I wanted that.
11:44Yeah.
11:44That was the big, the first three years I was there was the big, like, is Keenan gonna
11:48stay?
11:49Yeah.
11:49It was, like, this, like, overall, like, hum in the office.
11:53That's so crazy.
11:53And then we would all, you're revered there, man.
11:55You're loved and revered and everyone fucking enjoys you and.
12:00I hope God bless, man.
12:01Yeah.
12:01You're so legendary where, like, if there needs to be a fucking laugh anywhere, they'll
12:06just be like, let's just cut, let's just cut to Keenan.
12:08That's right, man.
12:09Yeah.
12:10You know, like, it's, yes, it works sometimes.
12:12And then, like, you know, it starts to stale out and you look for new things.
12:16But that's the beauty of the show.
12:18Because it just continues to, like, have to be reinvented every week.
12:22You know what I mean?
12:23Right.
12:23Because, like, that's the deal with the devil.
12:26You know, like, we're gonna do a live show for 90 minutes every single week.
12:29Right.
12:30And we're gonna make it as dope as possible.
12:32But you just, like, you enjoy the, like, the makeup.
12:37You put it on crazy shit.
12:39Oh, yeah.
12:40No, it's all annoying.
12:42I enjoy the finished product.
12:45You know what I'm saying?
12:45Like, I enjoy seeing that magic because together, you know, like, we do really good work.
12:51You know what I mean?
12:52Like, we do crazy shit.
12:53Like, sometimes, yeah, they just throw you out there in, like, an alien head or something.
12:58And there's kind of nothing to the bit.
13:00Yeah, even if you have, like, one line.
13:02It's our job to kind of try to make it work.
13:04You know what I mean?
13:05So, like, that's always the plank walk.
13:08It's like, all right, you know, I got this big swing of an image.
13:12What can I do with it?
13:13Kind of thing.
13:14What's your favorite moment from SNF?
13:16Whether it's a sketch or, like, some interaction you have with, like, a host.
13:20Like, my favorite part ever was watching Mr. Bunting on the floor.
13:26That sketch where we did Dead Poets Society, My Head Gets Cut Off.
13:30Mm-hmm.
13:32Because the sketch was, like, three minutes.
13:35But the first minute and a half, it's serious.
13:37Yeah.
13:37It's just, like, Fred Armisen's the teacher.
13:39He's firing.
13:40And everyone's doing, like, oh, Captain, my captain, all that type of shit.
13:43Mm-hmm.
13:43And I was like, I want to watch this on the floor.
13:46Because nothing happens until my head gets cut off.
13:49Yeah.
13:49And it was the loudest sound I ever heard.
13:51Yeah.
13:52Still to this day, like, from me doing stand-up, any fucking thing I've ever done,
13:58and I've never heard a reaction like that before.
14:01Mm-hmm.
14:01And I just remember sitting, like, on the floor, like, watching everybody, like,
14:04because I knew what was coming, and it paid off so big.
14:07Yeah.
14:07So, like, that was fun.
14:08Was that, like, an addicting feeling?
14:10Like, when you hit the golf ball right kind of thing?
14:13Yeah.
14:13I was like, I'll never catch this.
14:15Like, chasing that?
14:16I think that's the dragon, you know, that we're all trying to catch, basically.
14:19Like, you want a big room explosion kind of thing.
14:22You know what I mean?
14:23The worst is, like, having a bad show and just being at that party.
14:26And you're just like...
14:28It's tough.
14:28Or just having a bad run of shows kind of shit or anything like that.
14:32Or just...
14:33I don't know.
14:34Your personal life being upside down or anything.
14:37That's tough, bro.
14:37It's all kind of shit.
14:39I mean, like, just that decision-making of the no matter what.
14:42The show must go on and all that shit.
14:45Dude, it's a great equalizer as well.
14:46Because you're like, no matter what, I have to do this.
14:49And this is going to happen.
14:51Yep.
14:51I could fucking be in my feelings and not do it.
14:55Or this is something that lasts forever.
14:58Yeah.
14:58People will go back.
14:59You're like, might as well get, like, my release out of it.
15:02And I've been on, like, both sides.
15:03But, like, I've just been like, I can't.
15:05Yeah.
15:06And sometimes I'm like, I'm gonna fuck in.
15:07It's a crazy dichotomy because it's like, yeah, okay, the party's gonna happen whether you go or not.
15:12Like, I hear you.
15:13But at the same time, it's like, am I in the mood to go to a fucking party?
15:17You know what I'm saying?
15:18Right.
15:18Like, I still have the right to choose where my happiness kind of lies.
15:23But at the same time, this is where it becomes a job kind of shit.
15:28Yes.
15:28Yeah.
15:30Dude, we, for about two seasons, I don't know how this happened, would do a bit where we would just,
15:38it was Franklin and Bash.
15:39Yeah.
15:41But what, how is that?
15:42That's the beauty of SNL.
15:43Like, bits come out of nowhere, but.
15:45What was that?
15:46When you really enjoy the dumber ones, especially the ones that make no sense, they linger.
15:52And, like, I don't think it'll be something that won't make us laugh for life because I'm glad I have
15:58that ability to, like, continue watching, like, most comedies and just laugh each time.
16:04And, like.
16:04Right.
16:05I actually get excited in different ways.
16:07I start laughing early, you know what I'm saying?
16:09Because I know a joke is coming kind of shit.
16:11Right.
16:11I just get amused at hearing the performance of that particular line reading over and over again.
16:16Right.
16:16It's great.
16:17I'm glad I maintain that.
16:18I think, I don't know how exactly it happened.
16:20I don't know.
16:20I have no idea, but.
16:21I think the Cosby shit was happening.
16:23Yes.
16:24In real time.
16:24I think Cosby was in the news.
16:26And there was a Franklin and Bash, like, because you always had the TV rocking in your office.
16:31And Franklin and Bash.
16:32Yeah.
16:32Like a commercial came out.
16:33Yeah, but.
16:34And we just, I think we just noticed that the name, all the names in it were so insane.
16:39So crazy.
16:39You, I think, picked up on that.
16:41And then I just started doing the voice.
16:43No, it's like.
16:44It's cool.
16:45Reading the cast list of Franklin and Bash became the longest bit that we would do that no one else
16:50would laugh at.
16:51Nobody laughed.
16:52No one had any idea.
16:52It was so angry when we were trying to explain it and do it.
16:55Breckenmeyer.
16:55And they had to sit through it.
16:56Green Diamond.
16:57But it would make us laugh so hard.
16:59It's Breckenmeyer.
17:00Mark Paul Gossel.
17:01Mark Paul Gossel.
17:03Reed Diamond.
17:04The fact that.
17:05He says it.
17:06And we're just imagining Cosby, like, in his house rocking in the chair.
17:10Mark Paul Gossel.
17:12Mark Paul Gossel.
17:14Mark Paul Gossel.
17:16Mark Paul Gossel.
17:16Mark Paul Gossel.
17:16Reed Diamond.
17:17Malcolm McDowell.
17:18Malcolm McDowell.
17:19Kumail now Johnny.
17:20And there was one other person.
17:21Kumail now Johnny.
17:22That was like kind of normal.
17:23Cosby saying Kumail now Johnny.
17:24Kumail now Johnny.
17:28And we'd be fucking dying.
17:30Dude, like dying.
17:31No one would get it.
17:32No one.
17:33And we'd be like.
17:34How do you not see that that's hilarious?
17:36That's hilarious.
17:36It was because his reputation was so crazy at the time.
17:41Yeah.
17:41That they couldn't just bypass that and be like.
17:45Well then we can definitely probably use this on the show.
17:47Because like everybody in the environment is looking for things they could probably use on the show.
17:50Right.
17:51That's where everybody's like mind is.
17:52Yeah.
17:53As opposed to just fucking around.
17:55This is hilarious.
17:56No it's.
17:57I still.
17:57Whenever I see any of their names in anything I have to say it in Cosby voice.
18:02100%.
18:03The best is one.
18:04Reed Diamond.
18:05Reed Diamond.
18:07Mark Paul Gossel.
18:09Fantastic name.
18:10Rickenmeier.
18:11On top of a fantastically named show.
18:14Franklin and Bash.
18:14Franklin and Bash dude?
18:16What is this?
18:16It's crazy.
18:17What about when we had the synthesizer?
18:20Oh yeah.
18:20Dude.
18:21So there was just one sketch where someone had like a synthesizer.
18:24And me and Kenan stayed after the sketch.
18:27And we just went into it.
18:28It went Reed Diamond.
18:30Diamond.
18:31Mark Paul Gossel.
18:33Reed Diamond.
18:35Yeah.
18:35Auto-tune that.
18:36Dana Davis.
18:37Dana Davis.
18:38Dana Davis.
18:38Dana Davis.
18:39Dana Davis.
18:40Dana Davis.
18:42The fuck is on through my mind?
18:44Oh dude.
18:45You never know.
18:46Oh.
18:47If there is one thing that you haven't done yet that you would want to do.
18:54Mm-hmm.
18:54I mean skydiving and motorcycle riding are up there kind of shit.
18:59Like I like speed.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Yeah.
19:01I've never really been on a motorcycle.
19:03I've been on scooters and shit but like stayed away from motorcycles because they're
19:06you know pretty dangerous.
19:07You went skydiving?
19:08I haven't gone yet.
19:09I want to go so bad.
19:11I say that.
19:12I'm terrified.
19:13But I feel like.
19:14I'm terrified.
19:15That ride up is going to be the worst part.
19:18Yeah.
19:18You know what I'm saying?
19:19Because it's just like.
19:20And the first time of course.
19:21It's like I just don't know what to expect.
19:23This shit is so extreme.
19:24Right.
19:25I've stuck my head out the window driving before and it's not easy.
19:28Yeah.
19:30So.
19:31I don't want that panic of me trying to figure it out causing me to like choke.
19:35Yeah.
19:35We should go dude.
19:36We should do a triple strap dude.
19:39It's a triple strap dude.
19:40A guy, you, and then me.
19:41Sammy.
19:42Yeah.
19:43I'm going to do a triple Sammy.
19:47Let's go.
19:49No.
19:49Like one of these days when I you know you don't have that don't risk your life clause
19:54and your contracts and shit maybe I'll get a chance to skydiving.
19:57Or do write a skydiving sketch.
20:00Yeah.
20:00Or a movie.
20:01Put that shit in a movie.
20:02Just skydiving.
20:03That's what Tom Cruise does.
20:04Yeah.
20:04He writes all his favorite activities into his movies.
20:07Yeah.
20:07I would love to be on the insurance board of one of his films.
20:12They'll go like so you're going to.
20:14I'm sorry.
20:14Drive a motorcycle off of a cliff and skydive onto a train.
20:19Yep.
20:19And it's going to be you.
20:20Yeah.
20:21Yeah.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Hell yeah.
20:22It's got to be me.
20:23Yeah.
20:24It's me.
20:24The whole thing.
20:25No one else.
20:26Yeah.
20:26Shot right here.
20:27Yeah.
20:27Yeah.
20:28Shot there.
20:28Alright.
20:30Well you're 20 for 20 so.
20:33Okay.
20:33He's the one famous person I have never seen in real life and to me he's not real.
20:39If that makes sense.
20:40Those last three Mission Impossible were insane.
20:42It's ridiculous.
20:44Insane.
20:44He's like how could I almost die on camera.
20:47Constantly.
20:48Yeah.
20:48Constantly.
20:49Broke his shit.
20:50Yeah.
20:51Jumping from building to building.
20:5360 years old he's like I'm going to jump off this building.
20:54Jackie Chan style.
20:55Yeah.
20:55Remember when Jackie Chan like jumped on that fucking hovercraft shit and like.
21:00You only found out about it in the credits.
21:02Right.
21:02We watched that whole movie of him beating ass and didn't know his ankle was broke.
21:06Oh the best is the rush hour bloopers.
21:09Where he like flips up the gun and he's like I'll get it.
21:12He's like I'll get it.
21:13This motherfucker jumping through the cage at the casino.
21:17Head butts the bars the first time.
21:19And then the second time he can't scoot because it's like a little too.
21:23Because it's kind of impossible.
21:24And then the third time he just does it.
21:26Yeah.
21:27Like that's crazy.
21:28Yeah.
21:29It's some of the shit where I'm just like.
21:31Yeah.
21:31And to be able to act and be lovable and likeable on top of that.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Like shout him out man.
21:37That was a difference between I think him and Jet Li.
21:41You know like Jet Li was like fast and furious.
21:44If Jet Li was funny it would have been a problem.
21:46It would have been overdue.
21:47Yeah.
21:48The funny part was like watching him try to be funny.
21:50Right.
21:50Which was hilarious.
21:51It was just like oh no no no.
21:53If he had some like jokes in Cradle to the Grave.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Like ran up the wall and said something funny.
21:57Like try to say something like pretty slick.
22:02So the thing I've been asking everyone.
22:05At the end is.
22:08What is something you learned from your own experience that wasn't passed down to you.
22:14Like from like a big bro or like just someone who knows the game.
22:19What's something from your own experience that you find useful.
22:23I want to say my favorite lesson in the game.
22:29Like to not to you know steal from the wire.
22:33But it's like the game going to be the game.
22:35You know what I'm saying.
22:35Always kind of shit.
22:37Like it just it is what it is.
22:41So the sooner I think you realize that it's like a game.
22:47You know what I mean.
22:48I think you can play it accordingly as opposed to like letting everything live or die based off of it
22:53kind of shit.
22:54Right.
22:54Like you don't live or die off of Uno.
22:56You know what I'm saying.
22:56It's like if I won great.
22:58You know we had a fun you know Uno night amongst friends.
23:01And like that's what really kind of matters.
23:03It's like time spent and quality.
23:05So knowing where your quality of life kind of should be placed.
23:10I think a lot of people say that about me.
23:12It's like you've never seen Bothered or whatever.
23:13You know at SNL kind of shit.
23:15Like you've never seen.
23:15No that is true.
23:16You have you have you're always all cool.
23:18Because I just I leave work at work.
23:20You know what I'm saying.
23:20And like I can't act.
23:23I can't pretend that I can make work cater to you know me feeling a certain way about anything.
23:32You know what I'm saying.
23:33Right.
23:33It's not healthy to live or die on this.
23:36I don't think so.
23:37Right.
23:37It's not because it's like not that it's fake.
23:41But it's it's more fleeting than like your real natural surroundings kind of shit.
23:46You know what I'm saying.
23:46So it's like arms length only metaphorically.
23:52Like you know yes anybody that I run into outside of work.
23:57You know what I mean.
23:57Like the friendship will still be the same kind of shit if we have a genuine friendship at the same
24:02time.
24:02But it's such a stressful environment.
24:06I've seen so many personalities be different.
24:08You know what I'm saying.
24:09And I'm not really a big fan of like being one way one day in another way.
24:14You know kind of based on a situation or whatever kind of shit.
24:16I try to.
24:16You're always keeping.
24:17I try to be.
24:18You know what I mean.
24:19I try to like.
24:20Yes I understand why you might be upset or you might be pissed or you might be this and
24:23that and the other.
24:23But I'm never like you know shutting off on people.
24:26And I've seen that.
24:27So like.
24:28Right.
24:28That's where I'm like oh like I don't want to just get overly familiar with every single person.
24:33Like the ones that you know actually cross the threshold of you know being able to be called a friend.
24:39Great.
24:39Right.
24:40That kind of shit.
24:40And the rest of it is like we got a job to do.
24:43Right.
24:43And I get it.
24:44And a lot of motherfuckers.
24:45You know what I mean.
24:46Like motherfuckers that's like lifting walls and shit like that.
24:49They're not living and dying on these jokes kind of shit.
24:52Right.
24:52Like they're living and dying on you know their hourly rate so they can feed their children.
24:56Or they can like live and feed themselves kind of shit.
24:58You know what I mean.
24:58It's like.
25:00The bigger picture of just existing in life kind of shit.
25:03Always kind of helped me be like yeah I kind of don't really give a fuck.
25:07The only thing that matters is did we get a laugh just now.
25:10Right.
25:11Now I wish like I learned that sooner.
25:14That's something that's like newer in my life where like.
25:17Cause once you learn that skill you feel embarrassed because of how you have.
25:22With like having a kid really help.
25:26Where.
25:28You know if I was up.
25:29I'm up for something.
25:30And I don't get it.
25:31I used to genuinely be like.
25:33What the fuck.
25:35And now I'm just like oh alright.
25:38Yeah.
25:38Maybe there'll be another thing.
25:39Or whatever.
25:40And I'm like fuck.
25:41I wish I had this skill like for the last.
25:44All the more reason to continue to spread the word.
25:47You know what I'm saying.
25:48Like the each one teach one.
25:50Goes a long way.
25:51Write a book.
25:51You know what I'm saying.
25:52Like maybe some kid you'll just.
25:55Help them skip a bunch of phases.
25:56Of just not knowing how to navigate this that and the other.
26:00Or whatever.
26:00And like bumping into the same walls.
26:02You know what I'm saying.
26:03That we did kind of shit.
26:04Cause it hurts when you bump your head.
26:06You know what I'm saying.
26:06Oh yeah.
26:06Or you get burned.
26:07Especially when everyone sees it.
26:09Yeah bro.
26:09Like people who are seeing it at SNL are like all like.
26:13Like you do not want people like that to see you like low.
26:17You know what I mean.
26:17It's not like.
26:18It's a lot of people looking at you.
26:20Yeah.
26:21You know what I mean.
26:21Like when you're an SNL cast member.
26:23It's different from being in any other department.
26:26You know what I mean.
26:27Like our main thing is that we are the face of.
26:30Right.
26:30So everybody is looking and indirectly looking.
26:33Like not necessarily looking you in the eye.
26:36Right.
26:36Everybody is watching.
26:37Everybody is watching.
26:37You know what I mean.
26:37Everybody is aware of everything around you kind of shit.
26:40In and out of your life kind of shit or whatever.
26:42So to constantly go into those kind of like lion's dens.
26:47You know what I mean.
26:47Just because you just feel like you're being so watched.
26:52You know what I mean.
26:52It's a tough fucking place man.
26:54That's a tough thing.
26:54It's like you want to move to bumble fuck.
26:56You know what I'm saying.
26:57Yeah.
26:58Yeah.
26:58Be out in your own fucking like existence.
27:02You know what I'm saying.
27:02Like.
27:03Yeah.
27:033,000 was just saying Andre 3,000.
27:05That is.
27:06The only one.
27:08It's either that or the Bernie Mac movie.
27:11Mr. 3,000.
27:13You know.
27:13Yeah.
27:13I do like baseball.
27:14Especially black guy baseball.
27:16Old man black guy baseball.
27:18Old man black guy baseball.
27:22It's crazy.
27:233,000 just said in that interview that he finally came back and did that one.
27:27You know.
27:27Long day with.
27:29Yeah.
27:29That one interviewer guy.
27:31He was like man fame sucks.
27:32You know what I mean.
27:32Just because it is so unnatural.
27:34You know what I mean.
27:35It's hard to be the one where your existence is so much drastically different from everyone
27:41around you.
27:42You know what I'm saying.
27:42Yeah.
27:43Even just going to the store dude.
27:45I don't necessarily overly agree that fame sucks necessarily because it does have its.
27:49It has its.
27:50It has its ups.
27:51You know what I mean.
27:51For sure.
27:52It has its capabilities of helping to do for the world further than if I did just have
27:58a normal kind of job.
27:59You know what I mean.
27:59Like I'm able to platform a lot of you know causes and you know things like that kind
28:06of stuff or whatever which is what I try to use you know the fame for or just you know
28:11a nice you know dinner reservation.
28:14Yeah.
