Speaker 1: been like working on this new movie. Wow. Well, we
Speaker 1: shot at for Monton, Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was all
Speaker 1: him and twenty years. What was great was having the
Speaker 1: original cast back from Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch.
Speaker 1: Will Will decided that he wanted to do Suicide Squad,
Speaker 1: but he gave us his blessing. And you know, he's
Speaker 1: Will had done so many sequels that he was just like,
Speaker 1: I'm cool, I need to go get a breath of
Speaker 1: fresh air. So you know, he gave us his blessings
Speaker 1: and we carried on, you know, So we did that.
Speaker 1: But it was great. But I was so grateful that
Speaker 1: this time we had sound stages. We look over Albuquerque,
Speaker 1: New Mexico sound stages and we had six sound stages
Speaker 1: the first time twenty years ago. I remember my first
Speaker 1: eleven days. We filmed in wind Over, Utah and Salt Flats,
Speaker 1: and when I'm telling y'all, it was hot. It was fine. Okay,
Speaker 1: my little hair. If you look at the end of
Speaker 1: the first Independence Day, y'all gonna look at it totally different.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna see all of us was like this.
Speaker 1: I was squinting and then I think I turned a
Speaker 1: couple of shades of chocolate caramel, like dark chocolate. I know,
Speaker 1: ain't nothing wrong. Whatever, what was saying was like Lord Jesus,
Speaker 1: Lord help up. It was like literally walking over us
Speaker 1: with umbrellas. So at this time it felt great to
Speaker 1: walk in and it was air conditioned. Uh. The c
Speaker 1: g I was off the chain. The special effects were amazing.
Speaker 1: I've never been scanned so much in my life. Scanned
Speaker 1: that is so that when when when you go in there,
Speaker 1: it's like for c g I. So that then that
Speaker 1: way they have your image, so that now you know everything.
Speaker 1: With the computer, they can just generate jam whatever they
Speaker 1: need to in case they missed it. So then that
Speaker 1: way that saves them time from reshooting. Now, now you
Speaker 1: talk about the difference in how you guys filmed talked
Speaker 1: about the difference in c g I, the difference in
Speaker 1: the cast from to twenty years. What I want to know,
Speaker 1: what's the difference in Vivica Fox. Definitely let okay, let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. Okay, Well, you know, I'm definitely um
Speaker 1: more mature. Uh. Brand of Vivica Fox has grown exponentially.
Speaker 1: I now have the Vivica Fox hair collection, I have
Speaker 1: Vivica Fox clothing line. Actually was in New York last
Speaker 1: week working with some people and possibly uh doing a book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that I let everybody know my journey, like everybody sees
Speaker 1: the red carpet stuff that's on blog this and the
Speaker 1: third to come inside of my world and how I
Speaker 1: became who I am. That's what the book is going
Speaker 1: to be about. Um. I'm executive producer of a new
Speaker 1: show that's gonna be coming out um um on Lifetime
Speaker 1: this fall called Vivica's Black Magic, where I take eight
Speaker 1: male exotic dancers on the quest of getting them a
Speaker 1: residency in Las Vegas. How are you kidding? That's what
Speaker 1: you think I came? Funny that you believe it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have special guest appearances or I'm gonna call y'all
Speaker 1: and be like, Yo, now y'all, remember I did the podcast,
Speaker 1: so y'all got and returned to love. Are you all
Speaker 1: ready for R and B? Why not? Why not? All
Speaker 1: right now? And what we love about? What I love
Speaker 1: about it because black Magic is that when you go
Speaker 1: to Vegas that there was no diversity. It's like always
Speaker 1: that one black brother over there in the corner, like, oh,
Speaker 1: they got a black person way over there, you know.
Speaker 1: So now we've got from we got white chocolate karma,
Speaker 1: we got some Latin it's a whole diversity. So we
Speaker 1: got everybody that's gonna be fun now to be out,
Speaker 1: so I'll come back. I'm sure it's funny. You mentioned color, right,
Speaker 1: mentioned that's a black guy over there, successful woman of
Speaker 1: color doing your thing, right, doing your thing. Talk about
Speaker 1: your journey, has it? I'm sure there were some tough times.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure there was some persons you had
Speaker 1: to overcome. U talk about that and and and how
Speaker 1: grateful you are now that you've overcome them. And now
Speaker 1: you're here today doing a new movie, No doubt, Independence
Speaker 1: Day Resurgence, which was the biggest blockbuster twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: It made eight hundred and twenty million dollars worldwide. I
Speaker 1: hope it does it's right right because I appreciate them
Speaker 1: checks to keep that real. But of course it's been
Speaker 1: a journey, but want it made me a stronger woman.
Speaker 1: I have seen so many people in my business come
Speaker 1: and go, especially show business, a business that are too
Speaker 1: you up and spit you out if you're not smart
Speaker 1: and you don't make wise choices and have a good
Speaker 1: team with you. And then for me, I learned that
Speaker 1: the more that I had, the more versatility that I
Speaker 1: had in my career that it equal longevity. You see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I know how to do drama.
Speaker 1: I know how to do comedy. I know how to

Speaker 1: know how to model. You know what I'm saying. I

Speaker 1: exactly right. I guess you thought I was gonna come
Speaker 1: here and be canvas. Hello, how are you today expect that?
Speaker 1: So you're a sports fan, I'm a huge Obviously, the
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors just took it ill to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1: Shout out to them. Did they really taken out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about Rands all right, because I'm west
Speaker 1: Side for life. I feel right west they am. I
Speaker 1: like the Pacers too, But I've been living in California
Speaker 1: for almost close to three decades. Brother, I've lived in
Speaker 1: California longer than I lived Indianapolis. I feel you. But
Speaker 1: how can you say those people ain't get beat? No,
Speaker 1: well I'm not. I'm not saying I'm not throwing shade.
Speaker 1: I'm saying they lost the championship. That's all I was said,
Speaker 1: lost the series. Yeah, and also your your Panthers fan, Yes,
Speaker 1: Cam o Cam, they lost too. And obviously, like when
Speaker 1: you see the finals and you see the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: these are these are our blockbusters of sports. Absolutely, so
Speaker 1: what we don't want to know from you. Mike kind
Speaker 1: of touched on it, but working on a blockbuster film.
Speaker 1: He talked about Will and you know, I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that were concerned, but I'm not
Speaker 1: concerned because it's still a blockbuster. He gave the blessing.
Speaker 1: You guys went out and made a big bass move.
Speaker 1: That's what wanted. Anybody wanted that blockbuster movie. So what
Speaker 1: is it like working on the super Bowl esque of movies?
Speaker 1: A lot more luxuries, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: you get there, you come to work and they're like saying,
Speaker 1: would you like a ginger tea? Uh, you know, a smoothie?
Speaker 1: Whereas other movie you you gotta show up with your
Speaker 1: own full pack for today, you know, but just a
Speaker 1: lot more luxuries. They take care of you. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the craziest thing. They want my underwear. I
Speaker 1: was like, really, they were like, yes, we need your things.
Speaker 1: So you know, they dress you from head to toe.
Speaker 1: They take excellent care of you. Whereas when you produce
Speaker 1: independent films or other things like that, you're showing up
Speaker 1: with your ward, up with your jewelry. You're showing up
Speaker 1: with a lot more So there's a lot more luxuries
Speaker 1: and just uh, travel is awesome when you go do
Speaker 1: press you ain't like dang okay do put me in
Speaker 1: the middle row in economy, put me on the train.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, we were just
Speaker 1: in Times Square or the kickoff last week of Independent
Speaker 1: State Resurgence, and man, we were in the middle of
Speaker 1: Time Square with the U. S. Armies celebrating their two
Speaker 1: hundred forty first birthday. Bring the nastack bell. My name
Speaker 1: was on the side of a building. The build the
Speaker 1: movie was playing on the side of building. It was like,
Speaker 1: this is my life. It was awesome. So but then
Speaker 1: you know, I do big as well as I do
Speaker 1: because I like to keep the humbleness of knowing that
Speaker 1: it's not gonna always be big. But I do love
Speaker 1: what I do. You know, sometimes I like as a
Speaker 1: producer that I've got to go shopping, that I've got
Speaker 1: to put things together, that I've got to call my
Speaker 1: hairline people and be like, Yo, they showed me some
Speaker 1: hair so come on, I ain't gonna be on them,
Speaker 1: so let me help you all out. Called my clothing line, yo,
Speaker 1: send over some clothes, you know, And there's there's rewards
Speaker 1: in the small time hustle too. Absolutely right, absolutely benefit
Speaker 1: if you're going and do it from ground up exactly.
Speaker 1: Look at us. We started as a podcast two days talking,
Speaker 1: no TVs, no cameras in there. Hey y'all, did they
Speaker 1: give me half five on? Yes? Life is good. That's right.
Speaker 1: I'm employed, y'all. I'll get a check. I got some
Speaker 1: push I pay for. Can I get it? Can I
Speaker 1: get it? On? Let's get bur Chase man, I gotta
Speaker 1: work out before now I can say, now you do
Speaker 1: got to show up with you with your body game on.
Speaker 1: I love the job that the first time I could
Speaker 1: be like, think you might need to do a little
Speaker 1: bit more cardio, you know. So that's because you see,
Speaker 1: that's them telling us, I think you need to might
Speaker 1: lose a couple of bells. So I felt good to
Speaker 1: have the shoe on the other foot because they had
Speaker 1: body one last one, last question before we go to
Speaker 1: a beat, which one of the championships you say you
Speaker 1: were you know, Steph Curry still always will and a
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers fan. Yes, championship losses. What's the worst for you? U? Uh?
Speaker 1: Steph Curry's yeah, I really yeah, Well, because I really
Speaker 1: wanted Peyton Manning to win. Um that was his swan song.
Speaker 1: And it was a wonderful game too. And as I
Speaker 1: feel like with Steph Curry and Cam, they made it
Speaker 1: to the biggest game their team. They took their franchise
Speaker 1: to the biggest game of the year. And so just
Speaker 1: because you know, you didn't win the big one, and
Speaker 1: don't forget that Steph name also set a record seventy
Speaker 1: three and nine. They did throw. They did throw Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's record, so that was something to make. And the
Speaker 1: quite as a cap okay, see, they wowed him out
Speaker 1: were as Cleveland had. They swept everybody. And then I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna talk about that. That that rolling block that
Speaker 1: j R. Smith gave big Boy from the middle took
Speaker 1: him out, I mean, you know, and then that supposedly
Speaker 1: uh flagrant Lebron stepped over Draymond set him up to
Speaker 1: get ejected, and then and then he got suspended. When
Speaker 1: they was on the roll for Game five, right, I
Speaker 1: was mad because to me it seemed like it was
Speaker 1: a present at a setup for Cleveland not having the
Speaker 1: victory for many years in my opinion, Chris, when they
Speaker 1: started in top of the morning. I'm gonna keep it
Speaker 1: real of y'all because I love Lebron. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Brian Bron, No, don't hate on you. You're the greatest
Speaker 1: basketball player that we have had in many, many years.
Speaker 1: And he still is King Lebron in. But it seemed
Speaker 1: to me that it was business more than it was.
Speaker 1: They needed seven games, and they need seven games. They
Speaker 1: needed seven games, and top of the morning, when you
Speaker 1: start seeing the commercials about and no footage, I was like,
Speaker 1: how they get that footage cut together that quick? This
Speaker 1: would be so great for Cleveland. Wouldn't this just be
Speaker 1: grate for Cleveland? Oh? Come on? And then when the
Speaker 1: Golden State got up by ten points, tach foul started
Speaker 1: being called. You know what I'm saying. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: just keep I was, I was, I ain't no fool.
Speaker 1: I was born to night, but not last last night.
Speaker 1: I think we gotta have a beat on that note.
Speaker 1: Come on, he said, Oh my gosh, I didn't know
Speaker 1: she was gonna break down that I'm talking about that
Speaker 1: they lost they lost the series. Yes, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you know that was that was okay? See if there
Speaker 1: wasn't no Joe, Yeah, oh, I like that you got, Nate,
Speaker 1: I gotta give something you can give. I'm a hype man.
Speaker 1: That's my hype man. Ye are something focused. I'm hype man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I get him hype and then heat going. I
Speaker 1: don't wrap. I thought, okay, I thought about you gotta
Speaker 1: excuse me because I'm rasping, probably screaming at from the game.
Speaker 1: But everybody trying to wrap. It's always tragic. Shout out
Speaker 1: to a show black magic. He can get on. We
Speaker 1: gotta do our thing. Have everybody sit on. We gonna
Speaker 1: keep popping. Ain't no stopping day you were searching, keep
Speaker 1: rocking twenty years later. If you don't say it, then
Speaker 1: you're a hater. Check the fader. I mean, that's not
Speaker 1: red carpet you were swagged out talking about. You brought
Speaker 1: the bags out and you're cooking. Got all them young girls.
Speaker 1: Let me fall back real R and B and what
Speaker 1: you call that? That was magic? Right? That was yeah?
Speaker 1: All right? Now let's get back to it. Let's talk
Speaker 1: a little bit of football. Yeah, Fox, this show is little, yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. But I jump up with the guys.
Speaker 1: I know we usually do us on the back end,
Speaker 1: you know, special occasion tonight. I don't want to do
Speaker 1: the segment right now, and that's why I asked you guys,
Speaker 1: you know something in the news or not right. So
Speaker 1: obviously we just said the Warriors had that big loss
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like the Oh Seven Paths and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and then you know the interception. So the
Speaker 1: question to you guys all around is how do you
Speaker 1: guys overcome a bad loss of Davcar in your situation?
Speaker 1: Are there been movies where it's like, man, that movie
Speaker 1: didn't really turn out like I wanted it to, do
Speaker 1: you guys, do you guys find it easy to overcome
Speaker 1: those are not? Well? I never let my mistakes or
Speaker 1: losses define who I am. I try to make sure
Speaker 1: that I I embrace it, I see what happens, and
Speaker 1: then I always try to move forward. Um, if you
Speaker 1: sit around harping on your losses and your mistakes, there's
Speaker 1: never room for growth, right, So what would you say
Speaker 1: was one of those movies though, Why the Fools Fall
Speaker 1: in Love? And it wasn't because of the performances Why
Speaker 1: the Fools Fall in Love. What happened is that Warner
Speaker 1: Brothers got really excited about the film it was testing
Speaker 1: through the roof. It was testing like out of a
Speaker 1: hundred available. Um, so they which was a good sign
Speaker 1: because it was a period piece. So they and it
Speaker 1: was a star cut stead of cast Lorenz, Tate, halle Berry, Biboca,
Speaker 1: Fox Leader Sean. So they rushed it out and at
Speaker 1: the time, uh, they put us out against Studio fifty four. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then they said, oh, and there's this little film that's
Speaker 1: coming out that no one's gonna be care about called
Speaker 1: rush Hour. All right, and rush Hower came out and everybody,
Speaker 1: so you know that one. It was that I like,
Speaker 1: I said, as a actor, and if I had was
Speaker 1: a producer, I would have fought for no, don't do that.
Speaker 1: The time to put it out is when you were
Speaker 1: going to put out, which was supposed to been around
Speaker 1: the holidays, when people are chilling. Perfect, Yeah, they go
Speaker 1: watch a movie. You know, the parents would go watching
Speaker 1: because it was a movie from the sixties. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and they got and they put it out at the
Speaker 1: end of the summer and it wasn't a summer movie. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing. For me, in my entire career,
Speaker 1: every huge loss has been followed by one of the
Speaker 1: greatest victories in my life. Um, I looked back in college.
Speaker 1: I went from two of the worst seasons in Penn
Speaker 1: State history. Talk last year being in the three in
Speaker 1: the country, win an Orange Bowl or second away from
Speaker 1: a national type. There you go. You know, we lost
Speaker 1: to Atlanta with seven seconds left. Russell Wilson let us
Speaker 1: down the field in Seattle. Um, we scored, Atlanta came back,
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal, beat us right the very next
Speaker 1: year we win a Super Bowl. We win a Super
Speaker 1: super Bowl. See there, there, you got what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: learning from it and embracing your failure. And that's what
Speaker 1: I think is wrong with a lot of our young people.
Speaker 1: They don't fail enough. Well, that's because they want to
Speaker 1: screen swipe it. Everything is so instant, do you know?
Speaker 1: They don't want to work for do do the work
Speaker 1: that it's so it's so instant. I'm an Instagram model,
Speaker 1: I'm an Instagram star, but I'm a reality start that
Speaker 1: I studied. I've been doing this for decades because you
Speaker 1: have a it's a gift, you have a talent, you
Speaker 1: work at it. Right now are becoming superstars with talent,
Speaker 1: says by standing there and taking pictures and then they's altered.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a whole another that's facts like that,
Speaker 1: that's a whole another, that's a whole another show. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that next time next Moving on, football
Speaker 1: is a team sport, just like most athletic team sports.
Speaker 1: Now in Hollywood. In order to make a great project, um, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean your projects were, Um, you gotta have great teammates. Yes.
Speaker 1: Who are some of the best teammates in Hollywood. Some
Speaker 1: of the greatest cast members that I've ever worked with,
Speaker 1: Will Smith, More Chestnut, Uma Thurman, The director f Garry
Speaker 1: Gray was amazing to work with. The director Quentin Tarantino
Speaker 1: was amazing to work with. I've worked with, especially my
Speaker 1: first five films, you know, from Independence Day, Set It Off,
Speaker 1: Why the Foods, fall In Love, Kill Bill Got Booty
Speaker 1: Call with Jamie and Tom Davis. Jamie went on Keep
Speaker 1: It Real, Keep It Real was funny. It was funny.
Speaker 1: You know, it's my critically acclaimed film. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you can play that game working with
Speaker 1: think like most of the actors that I've co start
Speaker 1: with have all went on to win Oscars. How Jamie
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa was nominated for one. Uh geragi just want
Speaker 1: to go Globe Awards. So you know, I've been working
Speaker 1: with the best, so to have successful UM projects, you
Speaker 1: need to work with the best. And I always embraced
Speaker 1: that when I hear that other actors, No, I don't
Speaker 1: want such a chuch to work with me. I don't
Speaker 1: want to shine me. Baby. It ain't about that you shine,
Speaker 1: I shine, We shine. That's facts. I can dig that,
Speaker 1: no doubt. What about what about any bad teammates, anybody
Speaker 1: you could put out there, you know and not put
Speaker 1: out there, but tell us we didn't mesh Eric Roberts, uh,
Speaker 1: Julie Roberts brother, and you know what, I've since seen
Speaker 1: him and he came up and gave me a hug
Speaker 1: because he knew he was being a jerk. Um. And
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, sometimes actors will try you.
Speaker 1: I think he thought I was a lot younger than
Speaker 1: I was. He didn't realize I was as old as
Speaker 1: he was, you know what I mean. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: Donald becolling me crazy. But I've been doing this for
Speaker 1: a long time too, so yeah, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, and you just gotta watch sometimes how
Speaker 1: you talk to people. You're gonna talk to me crazy,
Speaker 1: you know, don't talk to me crazy because I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you the same respect that you want.
Speaker 1: You know that I want, I'm going to give it
Speaker 1: to you as well too. That's how we will make
Speaker 1: a good project because I don't believe in having sets
Speaker 1: where people are walking on eggshells. That's totally uncalled for.
Speaker 1: We are there to work together to make a successful project.
Speaker 1: So I don't have time to be mean of people
Speaker 1: and yelling and craziness. I don't get down like and
Speaker 1: for people that that don't know. Eric Roberts was Moroney
Speaker 1: from The Dark Knight. He was a mob boss and
Speaker 1: The Dark Knight. Yeah, like I said, not recently saw
Speaker 1: him at a party for The Hateful Eight and he
Speaker 1: walked over to me and and gave me hug because we
Speaker 1: did another film together after we had worked together, and
Speaker 1: I barely spoke to him. I would say good morning
Speaker 1: and not keep it. Yeah. I don't gotta like you
Speaker 1: to make money with you. And that's facts, all right.
Speaker 1: Mike says, you asked that question. You know, I love
Speaker 1: asking you questions. Give me a bad teammate that you
Speaker 1: played with since you put me on. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: y'all chire yeah, uh man, bad bad team. Make you
Speaker 1: know what I can't, or you can give me a
Speaker 1: coach that's easier a bad coach. You know what. I
Speaker 1: can't say he was a bad coach because this coach
Speaker 1: was a awesome Hall of Fame player. Um, but he
Speaker 1: he didn't know how to coach. And that's Mike single term. Um.
Speaker 1: And I love really, I love him. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: What has he since grown or was at the time.
Speaker 1: At the time he was, he wasn't ready. I wasn't ready.
Speaker 1: He wasn't ready. And that's real, that's real talks And
Speaker 1: him and I have since talked and and he's like, Mike,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was doing. Yeah, And that's
Speaker 1: one thing I can say about Coach Sing. Coach Sing
Speaker 1: always kept it funky, right, always kept it one hunting.
Speaker 1: But he could not coach, not a head coach position coach.
Speaker 1: He had usn't ate this fox twenty six straight days
Speaker 1: of pads two a day, nobody does. But he was
Speaker 1: wearing you guys, wearing this out. We went three, We
Speaker 1: went three, and oh and then we lost the next eleven.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awful, awful, And then the next year, see
Speaker 1: what happens is you lose your job. Everybody. Yeah, four
Speaker 1: and twelve, everybody, you're getting fired every Yeah, you players, everybody,
Speaker 1: And that's what happens. I love the guy as a player,
Speaker 1: love the guys. He wasn't ready for the coach. How
Speaker 1: about you? Yeah, come on the uh you know, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty much nice guy, get along with everybody, as we
Speaker 1: all see. But that he didn't mean to let me
Speaker 1: dive into my rookie year. Um, you know, the great
Speaker 1: Randy Moss. He was a guy who he didn't talk
Speaker 1: to rookies. He didn't It's almost he didn't want to
Speaker 1: invest his time and a guy that he didn't know,
Speaker 1: um cared about the game as much as he did
Speaker 1: or wasn't going to be there in a matter of months.
Speaker 1: So when I got drafted, was in awe of him.
Speaker 1: He was a super stories Randy Moss. So, um, they
Speaker 1: draft me as a young wide receiver, and all I
Speaker 1: want to do is for him to say, Hi, I
Speaker 1: just just talked to me, and I don't even give
Speaker 1: me one of these That's all. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I would I would sit there and I would
Speaker 1: stare at him. I would bring up conversation and he
Speaker 1: would walk off. He would run off. We're being conditioning,
Speaker 1: and I remember Tremaine Dubree just dropped the video and
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, Germaine Dupre had to Marshall Jersey
Speaker 1: on from you in college. We're running winsprints and he
Speaker 1: looked at me and just can't running. And that's how no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no, I don't believe that. These guys
Speaker 1: that believe that, let's leave. At that time, I thought
Speaker 1: to myself, man, this dude is a jerk. But that
Speaker 1: was I just got there. I was like a month
Speaker 1: or so in and then came training camp. I stopped
Speaker 1: focusing on him being a star and me being the
Speaker 1: best wide receiver? How about that? And I kicked ass.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he wanted to talk to you.
Speaker 1: He was like, it's almost like he embraced the fact
Speaker 1: that I love the game as much as he did.
Speaker 1: Because what I understood at that point is there's seventy
Speaker 1: some guys on the team. Not everybody's gonna give as
Speaker 1: much effort to this game. So it was almost like
Speaker 1: he was saying, like, don't be concerned about all the
Speaker 1: other stuff. Don't be concerned about me being a star
Speaker 1: or how much you like me do the work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know see that there's a difference in that.
Speaker 1: Like for me when I when I work with young actors,
Speaker 1: I embraced them, right, you know what I mean because
Speaker 1: it maybe the only time that they ever worked with
Speaker 1: a Vivica Fox. So how I just figured, like, I
Speaker 1: guess it's different for you guys because people get cut
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. For me, I would
Speaker 1: never want someone to walk away and say I met
Speaker 1: her and she was such a right And I agree
Speaker 1: because I'm the opposite. So what I took from that
Speaker 1: situation is whenever there's a young guy, I embrace him wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1: I know you can identify with this. There's young actress
Speaker 1: is actors that come up in Hollywood that are really
Speaker 1: there to be your replacement. They're younger and it's going
Speaker 1: to happen that Yeah, And for me, I would talk
Speaker 1: to these young receivers and say, look, you're here to
Speaker 1: take my job. You're younger, you're cheaper, and if you
Speaker 1: do your job, I shouldn't be here next year. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you all the tools you need. Leving
Speaker 1: years later, Nate still in it. Good for you a TV.
Speaker 1: We got one more or no before we Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gotta wrap the show here in a minute, but really quick.
Speaker 1: And this legitimately is yes or not. I have a question.
Speaker 1: We gotta be quick. He's stop. No, I love hey.
Speaker 1: I wish we could stay here for another twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: but you gotta go do access. But the question is,
Speaker 1: guys And the last week that O. J. Simpson doc
Speaker 1: was on ESPN, everyone was talking about it. So I
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, guys man, let's keep it all the
Speaker 1: way real, all the way from O J. Simpson. Do
Speaker 1: it came down on I lose my black card. If
Speaker 1: I answered this, it was a crime of passion. I
Speaker 1: was glued to that, to that court case years ago.
Speaker 1: It was a crime of passion, simple as that. Thank you.
Speaker 1: One plus one always equals too and I'm close out
Speaker 1: on that. A reason for his blood and the cut.
Speaker 1: It was too many cowinky dinkies and they had a
Speaker 1: past of domestic violence, so it was a crime pass
Speaker 1: still got love with the Jews. That black car. I
Speaker 1: just lost my black car. But it's all because you
Speaker 1: would never wanted to happen to one of your darks, right,
Speaker 1: are you right? Not right? Honestly, I believe he did it.
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's okay, the all the way real.
Speaker 1: At the time, I was growing up in Lagas, Nigeria.
Speaker 1: But even back then, my whole family was on team
Speaker 1: o J. Like I was saying, person and then I
Speaker 1: was young, and now I looked back and I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: but you know what was crazy? Johnny Copran played that,
Speaker 1: played that no theory like a fiddle. He's smart. He
Speaker 1: got a jury of I think it was either eight
Speaker 1: African American women who would be mad at o J.
Speaker 1: It was a whole race card there. It was a
Speaker 1: strategic chess masch chess match what they played. And then
Speaker 1: the public the defenders that they basically gave uh that
Speaker 1: defended the Marcial car and they was new booties, they
Speaker 1: didn't even have nothing. They it was like the varsity
Speaker 1: playing against the reserves and yeah, and they just not
Speaker 1: smart at them. Yeah, that's it for this week's show
