4:02
Speaker 1: is gone, my residency in Vegas, baby, I was I

Speaker 1: for the high rollers of a certain Casino. I was
4:13

4:16
Speaker 1: Mike Epps some more, and suddenly all of it is gone,
4:21
Speaker 1: is gone, It's not coming back. It's done. So here
4:24
Speaker 1: I am in the world. Financially. I know that you've
4:28
Speaker 1: got to have a diverse portfolio, But my god, who
4:31
Speaker 1: ever thought of a portfolio that is you know, adverse?
4:36
Speaker 1: So I know, so here I am. I don't know
4:38
Speaker 1: what to do, you know, I I panic the first
4:40
Speaker 1: couple of months. I panic that this panic. I didn't
4:43
Speaker 1: know what to do. And I said, Okay, where do
4:45
Speaker 1: I get in? Where do I fit in? It? It's
4:47
Speaker 1: gonna be virtual, It's gonna be a virtual situation. Uh
4:52
Speaker 1: you know what am I gonna do? But I mean,
4:54
Speaker 1: I've been devastated, devastated. So just let you know. In
4:57
Speaker 1: the in the money marketing world, you have to you know,
5:02
Speaker 1: program yourself for everything. You never know. This is this
5:06
Speaker 1: is this is something to talk about. Even if you
5:08
Speaker 1: have a diverse before Leo, that may not even work.
5:11
Speaker 1: You have to rethink the business. So here I am.
5:14
Speaker 1: I know, I'm a good comedian. I'm like, what damn,
5:16
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? I said, well, you know what,
5:19
Speaker 1: something's gonna come out of this. In any in any situation,
5:22
Speaker 1: there's a positive. And um, if you look at Madam C. J. Walker,
5:27
Speaker 1: I think she made her Miriam is doing the depression.
5:30
Speaker 1: So there was hope. So I was like, okay, where where?
5:34
Speaker 1: What am I gonna What's gonna happen? What am I
5:35
Speaker 1: gonna do? So I'm thinking virtual comedy is gonna be
5:39
Speaker 1: is gonna be the thing, you know, And so I
5:42
Speaker 1: just got myself and I just started writing. I said, well,
5:45
Speaker 1: I think the best comedian is gonna win. So that's
5:47
Speaker 1: all I did, you know, the only thing I can do.
5:50
Speaker 1: And then I had to change in my business. I said,
5:52
Speaker 1: comedy is no longer a viable business to me to
5:56
Speaker 1: make money. So I gotta, I shoot, I don't know.
6:00
Speaker 1: I started looking at everything. I even looked at marijuana production, right,
6:03
Speaker 1: I said, well, how much does a cross when you
6:05
Speaker 1: dudes be growing this stuff? And I called my boys
6:07
Speaker 1: and said, well how much do you make on this thing?
6:10
Speaker 1: You know? I called everything I can do? You know?
6:14
Speaker 1: Was that tied to like just just three or talk?
6:17
Speaker 1: You know, like when the when the pandemic hit, you know,
6:20
Speaker 1: I would tell you some man it affected me mentally,
6:23
Speaker 1: you know, it affected my pocket, but affected me mentally
6:26
Speaker 1: on how was that? Was it really safe to go
6:29
Speaker 1: out in the streets, you know? And you know like
6:32
Speaker 1: saying because I went out there with all the equipment,
6:34
Speaker 1: because it was in marching, was still cold because I
6:35
Speaker 1: didn't have a mask. I just put a ski mask
6:37
Speaker 1: on and uh. And then I went to home depot.
6:40
Speaker 1: I had my I had my rubber gloves, I had
6:43
Speaker 1: my pierrel, I had lights al and I had all
6:46
Speaker 1: this stuff. And I got back to the car. I
6:49
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know the protocol. Do I take off
6:51
Speaker 1: my gloves? Is my stereit WORL gonna be safe? Did
6:54
Speaker 1: it really get into your head? Was I just want
6:56
Speaker 1: of those people that just reacted to out of control
6:59
Speaker 1: about it? Well, it got into my head. But I
7:02
Speaker 1: am a you know, I look at you know, I'm
7:05
Speaker 1: almost like a historian. But I said, this is this
7:08
Speaker 1: is this is happening, this is gonna this is happening.
7:11
Speaker 1: And so I accepted it, and I stayed at home.
7:13
Speaker 1: I didn't go anywhere. I said at my age, I
7:16
Speaker 1: said the thing I'm gonna do, I'm not going anywhere.
7:18
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay at home and it mentally mentally
7:22
Speaker 1: it affected me. It didn't affect me until later, you know,
7:25
Speaker 1: till later on. So four or five months later, I'm like, man,
7:29
Speaker 1: what is going on? Man? This could this could endure
7:32
Speaker 1: for a month. You know. I put my faith into
7:36
Speaker 1: the American government, the American way of life that we
7:40
Speaker 1: we can fight anything. We're America. We have enough money
7:43
Speaker 1: to fight anything. So I said, this Q will be
7:47
Speaker 1: you know, eradicated. So just hanging there and hanging there
7:50
Speaker 1: because America was gonna take care of it. But now
7:52
Speaker 1: we have devicesness, we have political side this diz. So
7:58
Speaker 1: it's political I which is and which is? You can't
8:02
Speaker 1: even think about It isn't frustrated. It isn't frustrating. And
8:05
Speaker 1: that you hear that, and you know, because just that
8:09
Speaker 1: I try to be honest on my show, are allowed
8:11
Speaker 1: the interview to go where the interviews are gonna go.
8:13
Speaker 1: But it is frustrating because we're in an economy that's
8:16
Speaker 1: tied to unemployment is at a high rate, and you know,
8:20
Speaker 1: and it affects minorities, are black and brown people at
8:23
Speaker 1: a at a twice rate. And then you have COVID
8:25
Speaker 1: ninteen that affects African American community at a high rate.
8:29
Speaker 1: And then then they tell you that ninety four percent
8:31
Speaker 1: of the people who have died from COVID ninteen had
8:34
Speaker 1: preconditioned of pre illnesses. So it's like, okay, you know,
8:39
Speaker 1: it puts you in a position of who to believe in,
8:42
Speaker 1: who to trust right and where are you at on
8:48
Speaker 1: that whole trusting thing, because it does impact how you
8:50
Speaker 1: move forward as a comedian, as an entertainment, as a businessman. Well,
8:55
Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody right now. I just trust myself
9:00
Speaker 1: and not trust. I just had a show I was doing.
9:02
Speaker 1: I was supposed to do a show a matter of fact,
9:04
Speaker 1: Labor Day in the land I had, you know, I
9:06
Speaker 1: sold out shows. But then I was looking at the peak.
9:09
Speaker 1: I was looking at this disease. I was like, man,
9:11
Speaker 1: I ain't going I'm not going out there, and so
9:15
Speaker 1: I canceled it, you know, And so I I haven't
9:18
Speaker 1: worked yet. I'm gonna work at the end of September.
9:20
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not gonna work until November. But let
9:23
Speaker 1: me see. So I don't My thing is this what
9:26
Speaker 1: I would like. I would like to know what my
9:28
Speaker 1: chances are. And that's your government should tell you that.
9:31
Speaker 1: I just you should be able to say, okay, blah
9:33
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But we
9:35
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't, we don't know. So you have
9:38
Speaker 1: to trust yourself. You know who you can't I mean
9:42
Speaker 1: you can't. I don't care who you are. You can't
9:44
Speaker 1: trust the government. They're not telling me the truth. I mean,
9:47
Speaker 1: not telling me what I need to know. I'm not
9:49
Speaker 1: trying to be political, but my guy, I just want
9:52
Speaker 1: to know how to stay safe. And that's a very
9:58
Speaker 1: simple request, but somehow they can't get answered. How does
10:02
Speaker 1: stay safe? Which, in turn, because if you felt safe
10:05
Speaker 1: for you have felt safer about getting on that airplane,
10:08
Speaker 1: traveling to getting off that plane and doing five shows
10:11
Speaker 1: in front of the audience, that exactly, and knowing I
10:14
Speaker 1: had to call my doctor for the black doctor he's
10:17
Speaker 1: a black doctor. Emphasize that because if we have more
10:20
Speaker 1: black doctors, are child instant rate would probably be higher.
10:26
Speaker 1: You know, we need more black doctors. And he told me,
10:30
Speaker 1: he said, man, you know, he said to do that.
10:34
Speaker 1: He said that, man, it's not good to go. So
10:37
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going. But if I had some
10:40
Speaker 1: kind of guideline that I know, you know, some kind
10:43
Speaker 1: of We don't. We don't have a guideline. If right
10:45
Speaker 1: now you said you're gonna travel to Louisiana, it ain't
10:48
Speaker 1: nothing that you can look on and say should I go,
10:50
Speaker 1: I should not go. There's no guideline. That's that's the
10:53
Speaker 1: crazy part that scares me. It's really amazing because you know,
10:59
Speaker 1: stand up comedy is really interesting because we kind of
11:02
Speaker 1: see everything from a different perspective and just twisted put
11:06
Speaker 1: I twist them and that that's how and and and
11:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, man, just from an outside looking
11:12
Speaker 1: at you, you've always been uh, a guy that I
11:14
Speaker 1: always looked back or I would have never thought of
11:16
Speaker 1: that joke you You've always been one of those I
11:19
Speaker 1: would have never thought of that joke guy. When I
11:21
Speaker 1: look at it. That's and that's how I write, suh.
11:24
Speaker 1: When I write, I don't write. When I write, I
11:27
Speaker 1: write to jump down. And if it sounds like everybody
11:29
Speaker 1: else I talked to out, I try to come from
11:32
Speaker 1: the different. I ain't gonna you know, you know, almost
11:35
Speaker 1: like an investing I would be the one to invest
11:39
Speaker 1: in something that somebody said, why are you investing in that?
11:41
Speaker 1: Why are you investing in the straps that holds a
11:44
Speaker 1: mask together? Right? No one else is doing that because
11:47
Speaker 1: no one else is doing right. And so so you know,
11:51
Speaker 1: and I say that, you know because of the fact
11:53
Speaker 1: that you know you know. But one time I felt
11:56
Speaker 1: I was one of the top guys out there, and
11:58
Speaker 1: I come along and I see you, and I still
12:01
Speaker 1: see you, and I go, what is what? What? What
12:04
Speaker 1: are you what? I are you looking at stuff through
12:06
Speaker 1: Mark Curry when you're yeah, what are you know? Like that?
12:11
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I'm saying, you know
12:13
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know we could, we can,
12:15
Speaker 1: You're I could walk in the room and uh. One
12:17
Speaker 1: of the all time you probably remember one of the
12:19
Speaker 1: all time funny moments I had with you when we
12:21
Speaker 1: was at Denny's Restaurant and me, you George Wallace and
12:24
Speaker 1: and we are we're closed down that place, and I
12:27
Speaker 1: always remember how from an improvisational standpoint, you are incredible,
12:33
Speaker 1: and I just it is locked in my memory in
12:35
Speaker 1: Hollywood us just JF it was Jathony Brown, it was you,
12:39
Speaker 1: it was me, and it was George Wallace and we
12:43
Speaker 1: left that myth that dinner is at four two o'clock
12:45
Speaker 1: in the morning, and and and it was just watching
12:48
Speaker 1: you sit over there, going he's doing stuff I could
12:52
Speaker 1: not do. I can't because you we're in the same Dennis.
12:57
Speaker 1: Now we're the same We all even the same food,
12:59
Speaker 1: but you're looking at it through a different eye, Mark Curry.
13:03
Speaker 1: Why why why are you looking at it from a
13:07
Speaker 1: different eye? Well, because of this when I do, when
13:12
Speaker 1: I do a joke, I don't write the joke. A
13:15
Speaker 1: lot of guys write the joke and that's why they
13:17
Speaker 1: a lot of times they jokes don't be funny because
13:19
Speaker 1: they forced the joke. But what I do is I
13:22
Speaker 1: researched the joke, and my material is based on if
13:26
Speaker 1: you see anything I say, it's based on facts and research.
13:30
Speaker 1: So for example, we're talking about whatever the subject is,
13:36
Speaker 1: black people and money, Black people and money. Okay, bam,
13:42
Speaker 1: you will will do the joke because black people, they'll
13:44
Speaker 1: take black people. I want to realize they've been short
13:46
Speaker 1: change black people. Come back and how much again? When
13:51
Speaker 1: I came in the head pointing right, and then I
13:55
Speaker 1: got chuck for you because I hold him that I
13:58
Speaker 1: putt st a guy. I'm I'm must I must let
14:02
Speaker 1: me go back here, but go back? How much with
14:04
Speaker 1: than not? I much with the cheese? Let me go
14:06
Speaker 1: stage mat the white person? No instantly, just a minute?
14:13
Speaker 1: How much the tacks on this? What was the three seventeen?
14:17
Speaker 1: I had three of them? Right? That should have been
14:19
Speaker 1: a fortnite. Yeah. I think some somethings are wrong here.
14:26
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, Mark, Okay, that's funny, though it's true.
14:35
Speaker 1: That's what I'm laughing because again you've taken my engineer.
14:39
Speaker 1: He laughing too, you know, in the other side of
14:41
Speaker 1: the room, and he's shaking his head, was laughing because
14:44
Speaker 1: you know it's true, because it's through that lens that
14:47
Speaker 1: you are are sitting there and and observing and and that,
14:52
Speaker 1: like I said, in that Denny's restaurant, you know, we're
14:55
Speaker 1: all were being served the same food. But I'm just
14:57
Speaker 1: looking at your craze behind, going how did you see that?
15:04
Speaker 1: Because when I when I see something, I immediately size
15:09
Speaker 1: it up as a joke. So I look at it
15:11
Speaker 1: and I break it down different ways. Yeah, I'm not educated,
15:15
Speaker 1: but I'm the Internet guy. So if I'm if I'm searching,
15:19
Speaker 1: if we're talking about money, I'm gonna go on the
15:21
Speaker 1: internet and and and find facts that I may not
15:25
Speaker 1: repeat them, but it will help me with my facts.
15:27
Speaker 1: For example, I'll look up black people and money, the
15:31
Speaker 1: first Black people with money in eighteen hundreds. And then
15:35
Speaker 1: I'll look at black institutions, black owned banks, so blood
15:39
Speaker 1: of the So when I have a prethra of all
15:42
Speaker 1: kinds of material that I may not use, but at
15:46
Speaker 1: least my attitude and and what I'm talking about is
15:50
Speaker 1: based on some kind of facts. And then I'll say
15:52
Speaker 1: a little fact because you know, black people, we didn't
15:54
Speaker 1: we didn't have banks back then. What the hell did
15:57
Speaker 1: we do? We couldn't go to the bank. Think about
16:00
Speaker 1: about that. Black people can't go to the bank the
16:03
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy. Think about that nineteen seventy. And when you
16:08
Speaker 1: walk in the steel that that you crazy because they
16:10
Speaker 1: look at you crazy. Right now. Don't walk into a
16:12
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills bank right now, they just get you like
16:14
Speaker 1: you can we help you? This is the bank, and
16:17
Speaker 1: that feels that can't be healthy. Imagine banking back then,
16:22
Speaker 1: banking back then was nine existed. You gave me the the money.
16:26

17:16
Speaker 1: the white people oh my no, that this week. You know,

20:29
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about this corona. I just don't.
20:32
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about I don't want
20:34
Speaker 1: to hear that. I want to talk about something socially,
20:37
Speaker 1: a whole new start. So I'm gonna go in and
20:39
Speaker 1: get my head right and come up with a whole
20:42
Speaker 1: new When I say a whole new way of thanking,
20:46
Speaker 1: for example, presidency, I'm gonna run for presidents, and so
20:49
Speaker 1: I want you to ask me, what if I'm if
20:53
Speaker 1: I'm running for presidents asking me the question that you
20:55
Speaker 1: would ask the president, because I'm gonna I think I'm
20:57
Speaker 1: gonna do a new special on that. So right now,
20:59
Speaker 1: this is I'm Mark Curry. I'm here, this is live,
21:02
Speaker 1: this is non scripted. Mark Mark. I hear you running
21:07
Speaker 1: for president. I'm just gonna ask you right now. Um um,
21:12
Speaker 1: some some people don't want to wear a mask? Should
21:14
Speaker 1: we wear a mask? Mark Curry? Does a mask? Yes, sir?
21:19
Speaker 1: Does a mask makes it different? Yes? I think a
21:22
Speaker 1: mask definitely makes it difference. If I was president, everybody
21:25
Speaker 1: would wear a mask. It's just the way it is.
21:28
Speaker 1: Even the dogs lose. The animals in the zoo would
21:32
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Mask would be mandatory. Yes, you got
21:35
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. I would keep people in I
21:38
Speaker 1: would keep people in it for another year I was president.
21:41
Speaker 1: Nobody come out for a year. One year? Okay, Mr, Mr,
21:47
Speaker 1: Mr President. Not only we wear a mask. Mr, I
21:50
Speaker 1: apologize you're not president yet, but you're running for president.
21:53
Speaker 1: Don't want to jump ahead, don't want to jump ahead? Okay? Um.
21:57
Speaker 1: The vaccine, the vaccine, Okay, it comes out, Will you
22:01
Speaker 1: be the first in line to take it? No? I
22:04
Speaker 1: would not we would took those on death row. We
22:07
Speaker 1: will get those on death rows that have been convicted
22:10
Speaker 1: of a crime. And we know that that crime. We
22:13
Speaker 1: know that they did it by video. Now you know
22:15
Speaker 1: in DNA, we know you did it. You killed six people.
22:17
Speaker 1: We're about to inject you with the vaccine, sir. And
22:21
Speaker 1: and when the people protest, let them protest. We want
22:23
Speaker 1: you to this is terrible. We agree take us to court.
22:27
Speaker 1: So those on death row would be the first one
22:30
Speaker 1: to get the vaccine. And it will be on live
22:32
Speaker 1: video so you can see the reaction of what happened.
22:36
Speaker 1: So okay, being that you maybe the second black president
22:42
Speaker 1: of the United States, and we saw how this state,
22:47
Speaker 1: this country was happy. Then it became angered that there
22:51
Speaker 1: was a black president. How would you stop this country
22:54
Speaker 1: from becoming angered by you becoming the second president? Black
22:59
Speaker 1: president states, I cannot stop this country from being angry.
23:03
Speaker 1: America was built on anger. If you look at America,
23:07
Speaker 1: America has been built on anger. Where you know, so
23:11
Speaker 1: they're gonna be angry at me. Of course they're gonna
23:13
Speaker 1: be angry at me, but that's nothing I can't I
23:16
Speaker 1: can't worry about that. I got things that will help healthcare.
23:19
Speaker 1: For example, when you go to the airport and you
23:22
Speaker 1: go to the X ray, we'll use those x rays.
23:24
Speaker 1: Why you gotta go to x rays, you go to
23:26
Speaker 1: the airport, We're gonna use those X rays to determine
23:28
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you. So when we're gonna stop
23:30
Speaker 1: you excuse me? What do that? You found some water?
23:33
Speaker 1: Now we found the tumor. Step over here, please, you
23:36
Speaker 1: can't get on this flight. You know, I think the
23:38
Speaker 1: plane should be Yeah, hospital should be at the airport.
23:41
Speaker 1: That's what most people are am I right in the
23:44
Speaker 1: hospital at the airport. Let's be real here the homeless.
23:49
Speaker 1: Let's look at the homeless. Stop homeless, stop stop you
23:56
Speaker 1: know the wait a minute, lasting homeless. I could deal
24:00
Speaker 1: with the homeless. Let them be extras in the movie.
24:03
Speaker 1: Let him do the same thing they're doing. Walk up.
24:05
Speaker 1: We don't let them walk around. They can walk around
24:07
Speaker 1: in the background. Let him get paid it back after
24:10
Speaker 1: that way they got help. Wake up America. You need
24:12
Speaker 1: Mark curious President Mark Um, I ain't gonna lie to you,
24:17
Speaker 1: brother fantastic. That was all the problem. You didn't know
24:22
Speaker 1: what to ask, You didn't know what question. We didn't prepare.
24:24
Speaker 1: This is a great coming along and uh, I ask you.
24:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you something because Bidley Evan's gonna be
24:30
Speaker 1: managed if I bring you on this show. Don't talk
24:31
Speaker 1: about in the cut. You know. I know Bentley from
24:34
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox show was co executive do the show. I
24:36
Speaker 1: would tell Bentley one of the people who are made
24:39
Speaker 1: my career, one of the two Ledgpens in my success
24:42
Speaker 1: story has been in Hollywood. Now you're in the cut.
24:45
Speaker 1: How did you get How did that opportunity to come
24:48
Speaker 1: to you and getting into the cast like the Badley
24:51
Speaker 1: Bentley called my agent, he said, Mark, I will mark
24:54
Speaker 1: him do this role. I love Bentley. I know Bentley well.
24:58
Speaker 1: Some of my best work has been with Biley. So
25:00
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox as Sergeant Easy with Bentley. When I was
25:04
Speaker 1: on Martin and Martin as a lawyer, that was with Bentley.
25:08
Speaker 1: So Bidley knows me. He's a he's a genius. And
25:11
Speaker 1: not only that, he's a great director because he let
25:13
Speaker 1: you go when you go on is no, he's not
25:15
Speaker 1: directing you to do this and do that. It's basically
25:18
Speaker 1: you know you you're an actor and so Billy's an actor, actor, director, director,
25:22
Speaker 1: which is awesome. So he lets you do your thing,
25:25
Speaker 1: say what you want. I could do anything I want,
25:27
Speaker 1: and I love it. In the cut because it was
25:30
Speaker 1: a character. I play a guy Wade, who's just fresh
25:33
Speaker 1: out of jail. He just got out of jail for
25:35
Speaker 1: twenty years. And I get a job at the at
25:37
Speaker 1: the barber shop with Doria at the door. So this
25:41
Speaker 1: is so, that's the beautiful when I when I heard
25:43
Speaker 1: a character like that, I said, I'll take it. And
25:46
Speaker 1: so and the character I mean, I'm in character. I'm
25:49
Speaker 1: a method actor, so he doesn't put shoes on. I'm
25:52
Speaker 1: the only actor who never wore shoes in the scene.
25:54
Speaker 1: I wore slippers for the whole season. Okay, for the
25:59
Speaker 1: whole now okay, now, cuttn't haird and jail and cutting't
26:04
Speaker 1: hair out of jail. It's two different techniques. Because I
26:08
Speaker 1: have a brother. He did it. He cut my hand
26:10
Speaker 1: and he gripped my head and go, hey, brother, you
26:13
Speaker 1: don't have to hurt my head when you cut my head. Okay,
26:17
Speaker 1: my hand. The jail cut is completely different. It really
26:20
Speaker 1: can't think the jail jail cut. You ain't got no
26:23
Speaker 1: marry and you ain't got no you don't get a
26:26
Speaker 1: chance to see your hair too. Maybe the next day, right,
26:30
Speaker 1: and they gripped your hard and and they just use
26:32
Speaker 1: the raise of blade. There you go blade. So so
26:38
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to come on in the cut.
26:40
Speaker 1: You win a director, producer who allows you to be you.
26:45
Speaker 1: Now how important is that be to trust in your
26:48
Speaker 1: natural instinct somebody allowing them to trust you? Because Mark,
26:50
Speaker 1: you know, it's a stand up you. You've had to
26:53
Speaker 1: trust yourself all these years, you know, all the way
26:55
Speaker 1: from well, one thing about Billy. Billy knows he knows
26:58
Speaker 1: the acting. He knows it. And so when you a
27:01
Speaker 1: lot of times I go on shows, I don't want
27:03
Speaker 1: to say, but you know these shows, I think I
27:05
Speaker 1: know funny, but then they think they know funny. To Mark,
27:08
Speaker 1: can you just shay it with h more urgency place?
27:13
Speaker 1: You know? Mark? Uh say apple and you say apple?
27:17
Speaker 1: You said apple. It's apple. It's just one apple? Thank you? Okay, boy?
27:24
Speaker 1: You know, And so that that that rack drives me
27:27
Speaker 1: crazy because I'm American. I think I'm funny, and I think,
27:30
Speaker 1: you know, I think I know what's funny. You know,
27:33
Speaker 1: I helped the show in the syndication. So but that,
27:37
Speaker 1: you know, so as an actor, bently let you do
27:39
Speaker 1: your thing. And then working with Dorian and Khalita, they
27:42
Speaker 1: they're just beautiful people. During is nice. He's cool and
27:48
Speaker 1: so it ain't no tripping, and he's funny and you know,
27:52
Speaker 1: and he and he taught me things. He said, you know, Mark,
27:55
Speaker 1: because it was my first time on the set, so
27:57
Speaker 1: you're always in the teaching mode. So Dorian help me out.
28:00
Speaker 1: So he was the o G on the set, teaching me,
28:03
Speaker 1: you know, what to do with the stand. Come over here, Mark,
28:06
Speaker 1: you know that does say that, you know, you know that,
28:09

28:14
Speaker 1: of just just the warmth on the set. A lot
28:16
Speaker 1: of times you're gonna set, they'd be funky that you
