podcast

is about ethics right here okay hey bro I've seen your

podcast

this is totally cool I have a podcast I have a podcast I'll shoot myself heart to heart What's hard?

It's an interview show. You're a talk show. Yes, not a podcast. I'm talking about media. We kill your numbers well. Do you own this? Yeah, well, do you have a distribution? A means of communication for it. No, no, oh, that's weird. I welcome the

pivot

man's shot. This guy needs no introduction. This is Kevin Hart. The man of many jobs we have. Young Chan Freddy T, first of all, let's get serious before the show starts because I know where this is going. NFL Family. We lost our brother and Jimmy Williams. He recently graduated in 1997 from high school in Louisiana and married me. of my good friends from college and she came up to me and told me how proud she was that we were doing this show and how much it helped and she said she thought about it after Jimmy passed away, that you should give people their love, uh, while you're still here, so for Chandra and your son, for all your family members, we're praying for you.

God bless you all, that's why we dedicated this show to you and obviously it's the biggest show we've ever done and that's why. I wanted to do it here strong, strong man, first of all, uh R.I.P. and prayers to the family. I want to start off, man, by just showing you guys some love, like I'm doing this because, hey. I'm a fan, but B, I love to see us, I love to see us move and navigate this entertainment space differently, and we have people who are doing innovative things or you support it by adding innovative moments like people. that are coming on your show, the discussions that you are having for even a minute, please don't think that it is not impactful or necessary, you have discovered a way to be new and Elaine in the space where there are so many, that is a great deal , so I'm here simply because I love and support what you're doing, but also because it's cool, so I want to take a moment to give you your flowers at the top, we'll go in, we'll talk, but you guys are doing some dope, that's why we're doing what we're doing well and now we appreciate it and this is different for me, so we did it, we were in the first take at FAMU, yeah, together, we both killed.

Nice suit that day, by the way, thank you, very good man, she told me it was tight when we stood out, you made yourself comfortable, but it was a good soup, by the way, a tailored suit is the right suit, yes, that's why we were in Stephen. What I remember from the family day Nice suit, I appreciate it, but you're going off of how historical I was. I saw you with Dave Chappelle, uh, Chris Rock, and now you've become what a mega star is in many different, many different. Media man, I mean, you know you have Netflix shows and movies and series and all these different things, where did that work ethic start?

Because I watched the documentary series and it's Laugh Factory and little clubs and stuff. That laid the foundation for having you where you are, where you have your foot on your neck and you still don't give up. It is the discovery. I think it's the discovery of the opportunities that present themselves based on who you are. willing to work for the good eh, there are many things, there is a lot of talk about what you want to do and what you can do, but the energy and the effort behind it, that sometimes does not match what I discovered from the beginning, I said , see if If I want to do something and I'm willing to go out and put the effort and actions behind it, my chances of executing something embedded in or on behalf of that thing are real and I set it, baby. steps, you know, little baby, goals not big but small and, oh, what I'm saying and doing, I'm actually achieving it and the goals get bigger, get bigger, get bigger, get bigger bigger and bigger, so I discovered that your worst enemy is you and your ability to stay true to what you want to do.

If you lie to yourself and deceive yourself inside, you are not deceiving anyone but yourself, but if you really wake up every day. and you have that action and you have that energy, it's like I have to go and do this because I'm trying to get here and you know every day you're working towards it, well you're going to get there, it might take longer. some may make it shorter but you're not going to lose, so I got addicted to winning, I got addicted to winning and I discovered that you can win more when you surround yourself with more winners.

I found that putting yourself in an environment motivating inspiring uh Personal people who just want to get out of life is addictive you get that so it's contagious so my environment changed my ideas grew my once grew and you know now that you're looking uh you know you're looking at a boy that quote in quotes he's a mogul, but I'm building and I'm building with incredible talent, incredible staff with everything you've got, bro, that's crazy. Brother movies, the heart, what is it? Heartbeat Productions, everything you're doing, man. stand up tours and all that, most importantly, family, married children, do you feel like something has to be

sacrifice

d?

Do you need to take advantage of any of those opportunities? I mean, you can't, you see, it's a gift and a curse, you can't love the bells and whistles and not understand the

sacrifice

s that come with it. You know some things are going to be a little harder now. I'm at a point where I can give more time to my family. I can be more available, but the work that goes into building things, sometimes you have to be hands-on until it's not necessary and the work that goes into it is necessary, so we're talking about heartbeats, right, you're talking about what which started as a production company. where I was just developing ideas and selling them and being a producer of things, but I was going to another entity.

I discovered that I can be my own entity, so the heart grows to the point where you know we are a company. with a valuation of 700 million now we are complete media I am a media I am a functional media Outlet TV cinema radio eh, I don't know, if it's advertising, it's unscripted, scripted, whatever that is or that. What you may now have is the ability to outsource new talent, create opportunities and make things happen. Now I'm a bridge to

success

for some, um, that's different, that's the bigger side of victory and that only grows, right?

If I don't see Tyler Perry, if I don't see Hove, if I don't see Oprah, if you don't see the people who have built things and who will put a model there, you can ignore it or I can go oh, it's doable I chose not to ignore it, like this that in doing so, okay, you have to sacrifice a little bit. I'm tired, sometimes I'm a little stressed, but I'm 43 years old. What is my ultimate goal? Where I am? I'm trying to get there and when I want to be there by the time I'm 50, maybe I'm relaxed and my feet up and I'm not going to work another day and neither is my family, maybe I'm building generational wealth, maybe.

I'm changing a narrative that's tied to me, my home and what comes next, it's about what you want and what your end goal is, you know, this isn't for other people, this isn't. I'm not working and busting my ass for the benefits of others. I'm trying to create and change something so that other people who come after can leave. Oh, we can do the same or we can get over it. Even RC started and you mentioned the people who came before you. They had Eddie Murphy and Bernie Macs, they're not doing it on the scale that you did it because they didn't have a production side, but they went from comedy, you know, to movies and everything else. and I'm pretty sure like us, people like to say they had dreams and visions, uh, you're larger than life, what were those first visions?

And this is even more true for our viewers, because I'm sure many of them want that overnight.

success

and it doesn't happen that way do you ever imagine yourself at this magnitude doing the things you're doing right now oh you can't you can't say you have you can you can see success you can You want success, but what you manifest in what What you can get can be two different things. I want to be a successful comedian. I didn't know that being a Suffolk reunion would open these other doors and I could go through other doors, but when Look at it now, it changes, but from the beginning and it starts that way Eddie Murphy when you talk about Eddie Murphy Eddie Murphy wasn't just comedy Eddie Murphy was stardom Eddie Murphy was the definition of stardom Eddie Murphy was the comedian who matched the same energy of high-level success with stand-up comedy like Movie Box like him, you have to understand that it doesn't happen like that, synergy and that parallel, no It happens, so when you see that, you say, wow!

I hope, I hope, maybe man, but you'll probably

never

get the opportunity to do the same thing and be in that same space, you'll

never

achieve what he achieved, you'll never top what he did, but you can create a different conversation that's linked to you and as I gain momentum I realize that's what I was doing now. I'm creating a different conversation and linking it to myself and by the way, Seinfeld is like that, so you have, you have different versions that some people may or may not realize. King is a comedy like yours. You have different conversations.

You have different things that changed the dynamic of what we do. Comedy is an event, not thanks to Eddie Murphy, but Kings of Comedy reinvented the event. Says Clay was doing it and it was great and Jeff Foxworthy and his boys were doing big shows in the stadiums, but people dressed up to go to the king's comedy people put on mink coats people wore suits it was an event because they did an event they had the suits on first oh comedy is changing those doors are open because people figure out ways to change the locks and open them again I'm just changing the locks and opening them again Chappelle Rock like we're watching uh, a energy that is constantly reinventing something that has been around forever, but if you don't have the talent and the talent's understanding of how to create, recreate, move and operate so that it is fun and seems new and energized every time you will be stuck, you will be stuck. which is crazy to me, especially when you start mentioning the guys who started it.

You know, I wanted a red leather suit when I was a kid because I saw Eddie Murphy in one and I thought he was cool and I had to do it. Don't wear a shirt underneath, you know, I asked my mom if she could get me one and she said, "baby, you can't do that because you don't have enough money to do it," but if you look at Eddie Murphy's life and the different marriages and the children and all Steve Harvey, who his wife and their lives have now become some of the quote-unquote black targets of what people see, but now we live our lives so publicly and if you show it, if you show it, you good that people want. to see the bad things you've dealt with, different things from the decisions you've made most of the time, especially in the past, people had to handle at home, if me and my wife had something we talked about, that thing about the house is not something that has to be put on Front Street if I say something wrong I put it in my house it wasn't on Twitter so I didn't have to get the backlash from the rest of the world how have you become? so successful despite the missteps you've had publicly because they're not, they're not real, the reactions of people outside are not real, there's no such thing as perfection, right, like, okay, the people up there, the People are stupid, unfortunately.

It's the world we live in I have stood up myself several times I raised my hand proudly I have done a lot of stupid things and by doing stupid things your goal is to correct yourself better I hope not to visit the stupid ones again I hope you get better I hope you become smarter some people Some people Don't you think that prison is there and has so many people in it because people learn the lesson instantly or people visit again? It's not new, this is uncommon, but in the world we are in today people are surprised.

Can. I don't believe it, yeah, oh, I can't, who, yeah, what's the right thing, what you get when you lift everyone's hood and look under that damn, you want to see the dynamics of everyone's car, not everyone's car Works well, which not everyone's car is built with. the best metal car for everyone. I don't have the proper alignment to make sure the fuel injection is what it's supposed to be for everyone, but you can ignore that or not. I'm worried about how I deal with mine. I don't care about the world of other people's opinions. I have never been.

When you look at everything I've been throughI got ego, none, I got a tequila, I ain't competing with Dwayne, yeah, it ain't me against him, you bring his bottle here, I'll be the first to hold it, I'll be the first to support my boy while I got mine 'cause there ain't no ego, people don't understand that there is so much space for all of us, but there is a warped view that doesn't exist. This is a warped view that can only be one, which is the beautiful thing that Chris and Chappelle are into. On stage there's this thing if you know there can only be one, they'll be a great guy, no, there can be many, actually, that's why they have so many different titles in the box, that's why they have so many belts. boxing because there are so many great champions, it's not just one, he's great, he's a Hall of Famer, but other people are also undefeated, they can't beat Floyd, but they still beat a lot of people, that's why they are in a cwcefq that I want.

You digest it. I'm always the one who wants to give flowers on the show, so I want to give flowers to Florida. Absolutely Floyd, he always talks about how he just wants us to win, so he's a good guy, he's helped us tremendously in connecting the dots and having people like you here, so shout out champion, we love you boy, it's just about winning By eliminating the ego, we are going to continue making big moves, because you are going to let the rock know that it is staying down. the street from me, it's okay, he used to be okay, I send him such a big message, but I know I'm checking the 390 million followers.

I don't know many who are busier than me. I mean, look, look, look at us doing this in the house like it's us. you are really busy as you know how people say it but you are not doing it right that mother is a workaholic like he is really working but he is not stupid like us you are moving and navigating in the space where your Commitment is only going to grow and it's because of what you built, that's a fact, he's not going to ignore that and I'm telling you that as a fact, he'll see me and I'll tell him like it's nonsense, just go and sit down. but you're okay, it's not that hard, it's like people who understand understand that you're not selling it, you wouldn't have to, so I continued on my behalf by coming here, he'd just give it a shot as a friend.

You should especially what he has to talk about, so he will do it well. I think that's been the best thing about this space and in the same sense, Kev we're still fans of, you know, like driving here. I didn't get it like I met you before ESPN many times, I didn't lose it this way, it's still Kevin Hart as a blank spot, but what we love about this showman is that we have conversations especially for our culture, What's important, black fathers, is a conversation, we have a tone and whether people try to talk about the lack of it or the efficiency of the way they perform their roles, you are very involved as a husband and as father in your kids' lives and you make jokes like my favorite, one of my favorite things you've ever said, very Shoreline, let me take back my failures, you know, I mean, because I've been there with my kids, but you know, and having a blended family and and now being friends with Tori but raising a family with Nico, how is that possible?

How do you manage to do all those things at a high level and still do this? You get better, right? my ex wife raw, me too, um, it's not about us, is it? It is a period when your struggle becomes confused with the world of raising children and you have to realize that they have nothing to do with what we had at that time. Over the years we've gotten better, we've become friends, right, we had to learn to be friends again, you know, my wife Nico, the idea of ​​a husband, so I want to move, it's a lot, it's a lot to deal with. to deal with. but we are investing in this we are growing and building this I am a good father I am not the best father but I am a real good father Nair we talk my children know what I do when I leave the young ones dad has to go to work they know why dad is working they know what I'm working for they know the importance of work um as a father, especially as a black father, the conversation the conversation is not consistent enough of the good ones, people love to hear about the bad ones, people love it listen, you know about the dead, don't babysit, but you don't like to hear about the ones that do and, in any case, you're having a conversation here. and giving flowers to those men was well deserved and by the way women are amazing, you are impeccable when it comes to strength when it comes to Valuing yourself, how about you get depressed?

Now you know we're never going to compete, that's not the case. It's not a competition, but we need it and we are needed, and if you understand your role, you play your role at the highest level, you will see a return and a result of the impact of your children. It's about raising good people, my daughter. Heaven is in I mean, I can't, I can't tell you how proud I am of her, she's interning under the umbrella of my company, not because she was forced because she asked me, um, my son is a representation of I saw it.

What you did and I want. To do this, my son gets up in the morning, goes for a run, and wants to exercise. He is 15 years old. He goes to the gym at 6 a.m. randomly because that's just I'm going to go and I'm going to roll with you or I'm going to go and be with you the little ones like children the sponges whatever you do what they see they will follow there is no greater return of love than that than seeing that when I see Steph Curry and I see his father come up to him after the game and you see Dell look at his son with that feeling of yes and then he had another son and he says yes like that love of did I do it right? yeah, I did it right like it's not about you anymore, it's about what I did right. in that place where I look at my kids and go, I did good, I'm not in the weed yet, you know, I still like it, they're not out yet, you know, you get to that 21st period, then you can say Okay, at this point , it's not what you want to say, yeah, let's do it, but you can look and see the people that you raise, what kind of people they are, they're selfish, yeah, you know you have people that I have kids that are idiots and you have to look at them like They couldn't say it, but damn, they're just kidding.

The right as if I didn't have that. I have good kids, they're good people, man, um you. I know and I'm trying to do the same with these other two. I'm not going to have more children. I'm throwing these balls in the trash. I do not want to do anything. Yes. I'm already doing it. I had a conversation the only reason I can't get through why I can't get through now is because of my schedule. I have a question: are you ready? because they cut mine and I don't give anything and they burned them. You want to have the look, although you don't have to look, hey, you can take my balls and you can.

I don't give a damn. I don't need balls. I don't want another child. I don't know the boy. but they slapped me no, you can leave them there hey, I don't care, I don't want another shower, you can take my balls and I don't care what you do, tell me everyone has to get out. right, it is what it is sir, take them off, take off your balls, I guess you haven't talked to my wife, no wait, Logan knows that, so my wife we ​​were arguing one day and my daughter knew I had a vasectomy , she was very little and she was like mom, why do you treat him like that?

You already made him cut off her penis. Hey, wait, maybe yes, you thought I didn't have one anymore. Yes, I still have one. He's broken, it's funny. I love that line. Even with this joke, I make a lot of

mistakes

, it's not stupid and I have to do it. Actually, the delivery is like yours because I love you, so my wife and I go to a nudist colony like once a year we go to a nudist university. What's going on? Yes, yes, we are going to a place where, like you, you walk in, everyone gets naked.

I didn't know if you knew this. No, I'm just asking you what's going on. Well, yeah, then let's go to the nudist colony and you know. we just go around, you have to shave everything and show it off, and especially when you shave, it looks bigger because you gain hairless inches for a second. I just want to have clarity or something. Just us, it's nice. of the question, but we don't get depressed, but we just like being around naked people together, you see what I'm doing bro, those are the two conversations, we just like being around naked people, the only thing that can affect me .

You hear what you say out loud brother I hear what I say out loud it's like the breakfast you're eating Chad I don't want you to know the buffet your cocks for my ex I don't want your cock on my balls, like coochie, I don't want coochie next to my Edge, although I eat coochie and eggs, this is my Kevin Hart installment, yeah, I'm still at the point where you say we just like being around naked people, you don't I don't like being my negative people, be honest with you, I have no desire to be around a group of people, I don't know, just sitting there, naked, that's what I said, but some people, but the women you like, you better be a strip club like In fact, I'm willing to bet a good number, there aren't many people together going through this stage.

I'm willing to bet there are no hippies. I'm willing to bet a really strong number that you're looking. Some bad bodies out there and that's a fact discouraged steel nipples tits so just like that just this is free your free spirit yes I have a free spirit we are a free spirit understood she likes tanning and it's not like I'm, I'm six three but I just got a 6-3 dip. I don't have a six seven penis like it's not impressive, it's normal. I don't have it, I don't know what that means and I don't want to.

I don't want you to continue it's like no, no, no, you want like a baby. I have nothing on my knees. I have never, yes, we can stop right here, yes, let's stop. I don't think so, yes. I'm going to tell you something about what you should process. I have a friend. I have a friend named Big J uh J. If you're watching this, I'll tell you the story that you probably realize. By the way, I haven't talked to you in a long time, but I have to tell this story. Jay Oakerson is a comedian friend of mine from Philly that I started out with and Big J went through this period where he was interested in swinging there's a real story in the Bible and he convinced his girl to swing well he said we should do it and I wanted to do it because the other couple who wanted to do it was like the guy was a woman, like she was her.

It was great, it seemed like she wanted to do it because I can get to her like we can, it can be great and I was like, dude, I said, you're taking a risk, I said it's a lot, it's aggressive, right, it's not really my cup of tea. but I don't know how people live and I don't criticize what people do with their lives because that's your life, big J said they swung and he saw this guy, the dog come out of his mouth, he said, I don't have, I never he recovered. He never recovered from me, he saw.

I'm telling you, man, I don't know what you think he is, if you go in there, someone put your lady in double overtime, you might not recover, so you gotta think. After all, think about the first step, you better think about three, four and five. You see sweat dripping from her head, that's aggressive, there's no turning back, so you have to ask yourself that in something real, like if the right height has some advantages. Shaq was on the show and Chan asked him a question about you telling me he asked Shaq about his dick. I'm walking, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay, he was about 69.

Oh, your big ass can be 69 because he can? It's not like that, but I think on the opposite side of the spectrum, good questions like, you know, we overcome the good things, that's Chan, yeah, what's happening, no, but this is for the previous culture because, like I'm here , Shaq probably might be struggling, but I'm thinking about you right now bro, oh first of all, why are you thinking about him? I'm not thinking about you, there are two things that are not like that, listen, I'm going to tell you everything, this is not and I mean, it's from below. from my heart you are too unpleasant okay no no no no no no no no you need to do it you need to figure it out right I have three kids I have been married you need to figure it out right I don't know where math or geography is not right for you, but it's common sense, What do you think if you are engaging in the 69 position where your height comes into play, you are dealing with half the space of your body that your legs have nothing to do with? 69, you idiot, no, but listen, but okay, my friends, you're talking about the torso-to-torso bandwidth of a five-foot woman and Shaq's torso is not going to match.

Do you think Shaq has a tall torso? He has large legs? He has a has a longer torso than a woman's your torso and mine are not that far apart our legs are different because that's what people are serious about I have to explain it I just know so you stick it you see your leg you see my legs is a bigger species exactly true but our torso is the same but look at my head my head is on your torsos they are not far from your body and your torso you don't see my long torso yes Michael Phelps has a long torso arms of Michael Phelps pass his knees he's different doesn't show that he's different he's different okay then, but section 101 how about you pick up a girl?

Dress a baby and then queen.with with with with the squat yeah, been waiting for this all day yeah, could you do a squat because I don't know if you could pick up a girl and do that and jump around the house?I don't know, imagine if you make the decision, yeah, at that point you won't have sex anymore, you're bored, you have nothing to do with your time, you never did it, you said I was going to jump around, by the way, probably one of The stupidest things I've ever done. I've never seen it in my life, okay, I don't know how your knees are.

I'm 43. I had a bad time. I had a bad time. Yes, she had 17 knee surgeries. Are you a team at 40 years old? Who doesn't do it? that and if you do it, I want to see, I want to know what you need, maybe it had to be done in the nudist colony because someone else lacked it. I put on a knee pad. I don't think I know everything she had. in was a sleeve, I'll be 39 years old here in a couple of months 39, yeah, 39 Team, they just look a lot older, yeah, we have a Philly

pivot

because you all are in the same territory right now, that's yours, but they grew up in Philadelphia. us back man uh by the way how did we get there?

But it's going to be great, no matter what, yeah, but you have to understand that you can't let something like that fly like him, just when someone random says things that you get a little bit out of this. You have to do, what do you mean by that? You have to get people to explain certain things just so you know they're listening. You know what I did. I had a question with that because I got caught up in the team. That? Who? Who can regulate your jokes? That's what the whole Sex Colony thing was. Who can regulate my work?

Because they're your kids, your manager, your wife, because my wife, that was the question when I started talking about sexual things on this show. when I started talking about sexual things and talking about myself and my wife and I play kids, imagine and I play dog ​​on the porch and he dresses like a kitten and she comes out and comes at me when it's raining because I'm wet and she'll come look for me at the door and I like to scratch at the door and she'll open it like an old lady and bring me into the house, yeah, and she'll have a little bowl of milk like us. have a good time, that's not a good time, you're sick, but when I started telling those stories, my wife got mad and made me feel like she's the only one in the world who can stop me from telling a joke, yeah and the sensitivity with comedy at this time he was like: I don't like what you're doing, you shouldn't talk about me like that, yeah, I'm not comfortable with that, so I left it for a while, is there anyone who does it?

Is there anyone in the world who regulates or stops your jokes? I feel like you could have said that. I think yes. I feel like he could have just said Kevin when it comes to your jokes. Is there someone? in your house or around that can make a decision, you know, stop, we didn't do it, I didn't need to know anything, everything he said, if I could get that part of my life back, I would if you could tell me I could go back. Seven minutes and I got that back. I'll sign up right now. Listen when it comes to understanding sensitivity.

I overlooked it for quite some time. Know. I talk about my family. You know it vividly. know, I have said things, I have exposed things and you know, my daughter confirmed to me that my daughter is 17 years old. My daughter had a conversation with me and she said, Dad, you know, I'm at the point now where I go to school. and I don't want to be the conversation or I don't want to be the punchline because at school that can turn into blah, blah, blah and it was an argument. I respected her for her stance, her maturity, I said, move on.

Honey, I'm not doing it and I said, I'm glad you said that because I never thought about it that way and you know the same thing with the ex wife, the son, the wife, like it's a thing so you have to do it. Be aware of everything, um, yes, you are in a sensitive moment where you have to be aware of other people's feelings and you know the context of what you say and how you say it, but comedy doesn't die, you can do it. I will still be true to you, you can still hone your craft and do it at a high level, you are just more aware, so I am more aware and I have been, but you know that unfortunately, with time comes change, right?

I'm not. fighting to change I'm not, I'm not here to take a stand or do the unthinkable, that's not who I am or who I am, and for those who matter and who are close to me, you know, I make sure of their presence. It felt like when they needed to be my daughter, they needed to repent, it's an easy change, it's that the hard part, the joking parts or when we talk about living your life very publicly and I think that's what has made me a bigger fan of yours. not only your talent is your honesty, yeah right, like a lot of people, because you became the family man, right, you became the family man and a lot of people just try to let the world in on that and now that I'm having a problem, I'm going to close and you and your wife talked very vividly about the struggles that you know you've faced, yeah, it's just that when you talk publicly about those things, you know what I made a mistake and I'm trying to make up for it. to my wife for this mistake I made I want to be better, well, here's the thing, even within these questions it is not innovative to understand that if a man wants to write his role well, this is not it, but not us. "We're not talking about algebra, we're not talking about the hardest problem for us, we're talking about something that should be common sense, damn it, I have to get it right, that's life, that's what you're supposed to do , that's what you should do." what we're supposed to do and by the way everyone thinks they're invincible and then they realize they're not right, you really want to break it down, no one prepares you for the highest levels of success, no one gives you a book that doesn't get a pamphlet here There is fame and here we explain how to operate in it.

I am part of a very small percentage. You know, the crazy thing about the percentage I'm at is that only a few see it from this point of view. Well, with the other 98 percent. look from that point of view well I've seen it from both, I've been in the 98 and now I'm part of the one percent, don't you see my side, that's even yours, I don't, so the point of view from the outside to the end, well, it doesn't go through, the door doesn't turn all the way, it's one sided, so why would we fight or argue?

Where do you get the I from? I can't believe it, like you said before, like oh oh my God. Like it comes out like I can't believe it, it's like what are we talking about? Some debates aren't worth debating hoes. He had something for me. It was great. He said in the interview one time he said, "You know." it's you with a fool from afar no one knows who the fool is because you're just here because you two but you both look like fools someone argues with a fool and you're outside of you two doing this right here from afar you both look like fools I don't know who has reason or who doesn't, so some things don't deserve discussion, some things do, yes, you can process them however you want, okay, I'm fine, I'll be fine, my concern is here I'm concentrating here if I understand well what your childhood was like uh coming to Philly so many other people it's really not right I mean I want to get into that but it's so cool um so I feel like time to get into this, he's a great artist I mean musically, sports, you know, from Cunningham, a lots of great Philadelphia Eagles, Sixers, Barclay teams in the past, um, what inspired you as a local, Local legends, I mean, the list is long, I mean you. said two and I really feel like you fooled us, you could have, you could have gone, you could have gone much further, actually, no, actually, so two, you can go, AI, you want to go, Dr.

J, you want to go, Barclay, do you want to go pay. the best, yeah, you want to go to The Soul Child music, you want to go to Will Smith, I mean you can literally go through a list of what's come out of Philadelphia, uh, Talent, um, creative, we're one, we're one city , we raised them, right? Once this is done, we will continue to do so. I think the best thing about Philadelphia is understanding that it's a tough city to live in in Period, and it's a tough city to leave, but we're a city where when we love you, I love you when we love you we love you there's nothing you can do. bad and in Philadelphia I am I say this and I mean it there is no better Hug there is no better Hug he is a tough city man we are a tough city where is your face? your favorite rapper.

I mean, we had a great time, man. I'm going to be honest with you. Beanie Sigel Beanie Siegel Freeway he was a beanie I don't wanna say it was me Hate to say it was beanie beanie Let Philadelphia realize that other people were looking at us just like when they signed beans and beans they were rolling with beans if the beans created the work we saw them look at us well they know well how you see the way Meek moves now how you know that people look at us we are a conversation of our own we are a race of our own yes from the style of the language of the staff you know that we are a city that can sustain itself we can be identified you are from Philly look at that beard, you're from Philly, you worked temporarily with the guy who's Philly, he just put on the bridge, like us, we have distinctive things that are attached and I think you know those are culture-specific cultural things that don't I will not lose you, you will hold on so you know my love for my city will never fade, it will only grow and I am defined by that international superstar, brother, global superstar, wise of the universe, you said it, great father, great husband. like everything you do, your insecurities right now, what, what, what, when you feel calm in the shower, like, do you have any insecurities right now, bro, you know you have money, like, like, yeah, You're good, yes, but what are your insecurities right now, I don't know.

I know why I don't know why you have to undress me. I think because yeah, what are you thinking? I was going to ask you about the Tommy Hilfiger photo shoot. Yeah, I just want to help you just for the show, if you want. achieve it if you are shooting giveaways do they meet before? they get together a little bit to get the blood flowing no, I just want you to know that yeah, same question, they're exactly the same questions, they can be asked without any of that I could just say Kev, hey man, is there something bothering you?

Any insecurities you currently have? You don't need the shower. You didn't need a shower. I was trying to do something like when you're alone. You say. when you're alone, you just say that, okay, alone, have you ever thought that it's fast, it's easier, uh, but maybe so you know how you are in this space for you, I just want you to understand the same question, um , no, no, no I don't have I don't mean I don't have to I don't have I don't have insecure I mean I don't care enough to feel insecure like I don't like I'm not annoying life is a guy life is too dumb it's too dumb no promise to worry about what you can't control that should have killed your mind the only thing the pandemic showed the world is that an idle mind is literally dangerous Sit with nothing to do and just Summon or think all day as if you don't We didn't know the world of anxiety, we didn't know the world of mental health and how real it was until the pandemic or the little pre-pen that it really was. like oh oh people are really going through oh this is this is real I no I don't give myself a chance to fight my thoughts about myself I can't I've never done that to people who do it that's what I'm going through I understand what that world of pain is and what that thing can be, so it's not a knock at all, I will never put myself in that position, I never have, so the things that would be considered insecurities.

Do you know you're talking about Minor? I mean, I have a black toenail at one point. I wasn't taking all my socks, but now that gives me my toenail, my pinky. Yes, I don't want to tell you what I want. to see no, I don't want to say it, that's why I didn't want to do it. I knew you would say hey man, listen before, amen, before, before the opportunity, try to get naked. I love having the opportunity to do this, but we understand that the most. The important thing that a person can give you is their time, yes, and we also understand that not everyone's time is worth exactly the same amount, we know how much your time is worth, we know how much your space is worth and that you give us this time.

In this space, I hope people really understand that we have a part of Kevin Hart, not just the entertainer, not just the. Mogul, but the human being and for us are truly blessed. I mean, thank you so much for sitting down, bro, it was really a reality check for us and that's a cool look. I mean it when I say it like it's what you're doing, but I. m I want to see people win I want to see people win and if we can continue to find real examples of supporting each other, especially within our culture, we can really define moments where we are helping to elevate amplify that is contagious after For a while no I had no choice but to do the same.

I watched the Michael Beasley episode hard, like when you like, when you're in that environment and you're understanding, you're understanding things that you're pushing out, but those are real moments of caring, real moments of gifts, well, those are things that you want. that people see more, so I hope this puts you in a position to get more, earn more and it's not forced, right, hey, this is not a task, yeah, it's not like I haven't done thisnonsense, here we go, it's good, so shout out to all of you, keep up the good work, I appreciate it.

Will they really be? Will the Eagles be good enough to be denied from walking onto the stage again? I'm sorry he was there, even though he was there. He could have done it. I was just there to get the trophy, the trophy passed by, I didn't see it, the trophy literally, they brought it this way and I turned around and said to my wife, I thought, "I'll be back, I'm going to want to see the trophy so to be able to have a picture of how they walk well.

If they had turned me around like this, they wouldn't have denied me because I would have had the trophy there. She could go to camp this year, man, do you want us to do it for you? We have a training camp tour if the Eagles had no problems getting on stage okay, it's Philadelphia okay that's where I was Minnesota that cold place okay that's a lot that's a lot what happened at that moment that hand on my chest hurt because a while why didn't you hit him I'm putting a strong hand on my chest look me in the eyes he told me flatly Kevin you're drunk no nothing's okay I remember going to the right turn around you know why I was drunk because the tequila I was drinking wasn't Grand core means not a commercial guy, oh boy, nothing beats a crystal that comes from a place of love.
