Michael Jai White | #GetSome Ep. 132 with Gary Owen

hey what's up everybody uh my guest this week on the get some podcast is michael jai white before mike comes on i wanted to talk about my last week well my last couple weeks actually uh and stand up last week uh i was uh i was in cincinnati uh in my hometown uh did 10 shows actually last three weeks i did tommy t's and pleasanton i did the cincinnati funny bone and i did the helium club in st louis all three weeks i ended up doing 10 shows in all those cities but you got to realize the clubs are half full so 10 shows really equals out the five sold out shows in a normal club but it's good to see people are coming back out and um you know living their life again and the clubs do an amazing job of keeping socially distanced uh they sanitize it it takes an extra half hour in between shows so they can really clean the room they got like these these like sprays they spray i guess it kills all the germs in the room and everybody has to leave the room for like 20 30 minutes but this weekend i'm in phoenix arizona at the at stand up live those shows are selling we already added a four o'clock show on saturday so things are going good right now but in the process of that last wednesday uh i i get a call and they said hey chappelle's dave chappelle's doing this chapelle summer camp he calls it now i got a call about two and a half three months ago to do it but i got it i got it like the day of i guess dave thought i was still in ohio full-time i still have a place in ohio but also a place in california so i wasn't in ohio and i was like dang and i really looked at flights like they wanted me on like five hours notice because my agent called me he's like yo chappelle's got this show it's outside kind of in a corn field in yellow springs ohio and he watches on the show and i go when is it he was like eight o'clock this is like 11 in the morning west coast time so two o'clock i just couldn't get there in time and then uh so it ended up my schedule worked out they've called me a few more times and i was working so i got to actually go last wednesday and do chappelle summer camp i saw joe coy post something on his um his instagram where he said it's kind of like it's a woodstock for comedians where he creates this environment where you literally are in the middle of nowhere in ohio small town and i know yellow springs because i'm from that area but uh it's it's a beautiful stage you got these people sitting outside if you saw dave's 8 46 that's the exact same venue that he's filming out he's got camera crews everywhere a boom mic i mean they're recording everything so there's got it there's gonna be some amazing footage when all this is said and done and uh when you get there you pull up you get covet-tested you get uh answer in like 15 minutes and then once you get co-tested then you can go and as soon as you walk backstage it's very surreal as a comedian because you don't get to see a lot of comedians a lot of times because they're always on the road uh but i walked back there and there's ali wong donnell rollins um michelle wolf and then there's dave with his crew his family and his friends and i haven't seen ali wong in god i bet you 10 years and no probably eight years she was on the tv show me and shaq had called upload and i remember i told her and my wife my wife told her that i always said the first time i worked with her was at the san francisco punch line probably 15 years ago and i said god i said you're gonna be huge there there's just some people you see something in them i go god you're gonna be huge i just remember ten i remember my wife told her that when she came to uh do upload with with the show with shaq and uh my wife said gary always said you're gonna be huge and gary for some reason he calls it every time and so i told her i say do you remember what i told you is going to be huge she said yeah but it was cool to reconnect with ali and i think there's only probably two or three comics that could pull off what dave's pulling off in yellow springs where he's getting people to come in uh for probably no money it's not about the money it's about being a part of something bigger than that it's like just you want to be around comics and their energy and reconnected uh and the crowds outside it's such a mixed crowd though it's like it's hard to do a joke that a 70 year old white woman and an 18 year old black kid will get at the same time third but that's what you're getting that crowd i was like if you can hit a joke where everyone's laughing and they all get it i go ooh that's goal right there so afterwards you do the show and that's great the show's great and then uh and then afterwards you uh dave's got this like it's like a party shack it literally sits on the side of a row and you wouldn't know inside is like a dj booth and a bar and it's just a little party shack and i've heard about it but i had never experienced it so then i go there and i got i got a little i got a little too uh drunk so i made myself leave it was about 12 30 and i grabbed my rover bread i said we're out he goes what and the party's like in the middle jumping it's like to leap qualities there and uh stan lathan's there and and jeff wells if everyone knows live nation's there so you got all these execs and power people that are behind the camera and i just go i'm out i go i don't want to do anything i don't want to be the obnoxious one at the party because my problem is and everyone my wife has always said this i don't know when to leave i've been to i went to gabrielle union's birthday party last year and was helping the cleaning crew take the garbage out and that is not a lie i was the last one there i called somebody called me an uber because i could not find it on my phone and i have uber and lift up my phone so i go i don't want to be that guy at this party so i grabbed my robe and i said we're out and we didn't he was like what i go right he said my my romantic brand said you dipped out so fast though it was like there was no goodbyes it was just like think i'd leave them hanging but with that just the experience i can't explain it i cannot explain it unless you're a comic and you're there it's it's that's what it is you're a part of history it's not it's it's nice to be on a show where it's not about the money and everybody's supporting each other it's not about how much tickets are what do i get it's just about the camaraderie and you're rooting for each other and dave is one of the few people that can pull that i think kevin could pull it off and dave can pull it off i don't know if anybody else could really pull something like that off where the level of comedians like like david letterman and jon stewart and kevin hart came in bill burr came in uh trevor noah it's just like uh and damn i'm still talking to dave and dave's telling me all the people coming in and he's telling me like he's shocked they came man gear we had we had this guy and this guy and this guy and he came through and this guy came through and then you know sometimes commons coming through tiffany came through uh erica badu comes through i'm just like in the middle of a cornfield in small town ohio it's just it's unreal but i i hope they're they're continuing to do it so i hope if you go to live nation and get tickets it's just worth it to be a part of history and here's here's the funny part so i'm in cincinnati that weekend now they asked me to do it on september 10th and i couldn't because i was in i was at the funny bone in cincy so i ended up doing it uh on the 16th of september so i had some see these two guys that their kids uh go to school with my alumni i tell them on the high school in oxford ohio uh these two guys they're they're i'll explain it so there's there's this running back at my high school he's a black kid and my high school doesn't have a lot of black kids and these two gay white dudes adopted him his brother and sister so they adopted three black kids and i've become very close as close as you can be with the two dads so the two dads we always text each other they text me on fridays and and or message me on facebook i'm sorry and give me updates on how the football team's doing because a lot of times i'm on the road so they become my sports center for my high school so they came to my show on on friday and he messaged me after my show and i brought him back to green we got to talk just about life and sports and stuff so he texts me after um or messaged me after uh the show he goes yo me and my husband we haven't been to a commercial so long had such a good time we were like [ __ ] it we just dropped 500 and we're gonna go see chappelle on wednesday he's always got these surprise guests and i went well don't tell anybody but i'm the surprise guest on wednesday i said so the 80 dollars you spent to see me on friday you go get some of the same jokes for 500 on wednesday but he also got to see ali wong so that she was another surprise guest i wish i could have stayed the whole weekend but i had to get back on the road i hope i i my schedule lines up where i can get to do it again uh because it's just i know it's cool to be part of history and i can't i'm gonna we'll post some pictures we're gonna flash some pictures on the podcast this week but uh i i just can't i hope they cut it up and make it into something special about the summer 2020 because with everything in chaos and the whole world if you watch the news it feels like it's going to ship this was like a break from all that for like a couple hours it felt like everything was good in the world let me tell you the most embarrassing thing that happened to me that night well maybe not me but maybe chappelle's wife was chappelle's got the party shack so i walk in i gotta use the bathroom there's like eight people there i got that was one of the first people there and there's a bathroom when there's a lot you can lock it so i just walk in i don't think anybody's there i walk in the bathroom and chappelle's wife is on the toilet and i went oh [ __ ] and it hit me for a minute i went and she goes oh no oh no and i went oh my god oh my god when i close the door and i leave and i go ah [ __ ] and then she comes out and she goes i had to say oh no twice i went i went i'm so sorry so i went up to dave and i go hey dave can um you want me to white want my wife to get on the toilet and she could take a picture of video and that way we're even since i saw your wife on the toilet so they're like nah we're good that's good enough but i was like oh [ __ ] am i about to get kicked out i swear to god i just it wasn't like male or female bathroom it was just one bathroom so god damn it i was so mad at myself i go why didn't i knock and i thought why didn't she lock the door probably because she thought nobody was there i got there early so that was my most embarrassing moment of the night and then i shout out to dave for not making me put my wife on the toilet and making her send a pic because we would have had to do it just to make sure we're even so i hope we're still friends all right well i'm going to bring up my guests michael j white and uh yeah hopefully i get to come back it was awesome hey what's up everybody my guest this week uh spawn tyler perry movies uh mike tyson legendary ufc fight parties uh but more importantly we have a movie coming out this week called welcome to sudden death on netflix michael j white is my guest what's up y'all i don't know where to look it doesn't matter okay it doesn't matter okay i'll give the backstory of of how we really met like i knew your work obviously but we had like what one day together on undercover brother two yeah maybe two a couple of days something like that yeah yeah but i remember you he was laughing because i there was one scene where you walk in at the end undercover brother too and my whole i didn't really have a line i just looked at you and you kept laughing you kept like what are you doing you busting out liquor no it's kombucha god damn it oh god that disgusting [ __ ] yes is this is this what you were trying to get me to drink yes yes yes you're going you want to taste this one this one you won't like this one all right let's give okay i was gonna start but we'll side track into this story okay so when we shot uh welcome to sudden death which comes out this tuesday on netflix me you and your wife went grocery shopping and you guys grabbed all these kombuchas and told me how good they were and then i went on instagram and i told you guys oh yeah they're good i like it it's pretty good classic talk behind people's back i go on instagram and i go anybody right kombucha that shit's disgusting who drinks that [ __ ] it's nasty mike i think we were done shooting i think i waited till we was done shooting you sent me a message going hey [ __ ] you could have told me he didn't like him i said it's disgusting it's damn good for you and and it it a lot of antioxidants a lot of you know what just taste that now tell me okay is that is that disgusting okay it's a lot of pressure right in front of me so no you're gonna be honest it's your show it's your show that's pretty good all right that's pretty good okay okay when candy's so much sugar's not no not that much it's just it's natural honey and all that type of stuff i'm not trying to work for the company but you know why didn't you give me this in canada well because uh they didn't have it didn't they no they didn't have it well that's decent kombucha that's my favorite right there where do you get this at uh whole foods and all those kind of very expensive wild tonic blueberry basil june kombucha what's the benefits of kombucha what's your birthday it's like healthy gut antioxidants fights cancer all kinds of man just about a little bit of everything but you and your wife really must have taken that to heart the fact that you packed it and it's cold right that's right how did you uh how'd you keep it cold well they have these new inventions man they have these things that you can like walk around with with that's a cooler yeah it's a cooler i thought it was like i thought it was a little uh fanny pack you can have it if you want um so this is pretty good angle line right right all right so before i was a avid kombucha drinker uh we didn't we only had like one oh we have one one scene on undercover brother two yeah and but you kept laughing you kept like looking like i can't look at this guy's face without laughing and i don't know if i should have been offended by that no no you talking about around the the boardroom yeah yeah yeah man cause you you just had a different i mean i couldn't get ready for all the different things you were doing and so it kind of threw me so i mean i had to kind of like look at you but not look at you i had to do that a lot in this movie too i was like man this dude well welcome to sudden death came about i'll never forget it i'm in spokane washington and i get done with the show and i'm doing a meet and greet and i see uh i see i don't get a lot of dms by the way i'm not a rapper so i see most of my dms are can you pay my bills can you yo i'm in a bad situation i got four kids i'm getting evicted here's my eviction notice stuff like that uh so i see a i see one obviously when you got a verified check you notice them so i see yours and you go hey gary uh here's my cell reach out to me i got this movie i'm getting ready to shoot i'm seeing if you wanna if you're interested now i could lie and be like i might have said yeah reach out let me read the script i knew i was gonna say yes because i remember i my opener i go i go hey man this is real right because my opener is also my web guy he goes yeah that's right i go all right i'm gonna call him and like couple days later i said yeah i think they're gonna really go to bat for me on this film and then a week later you told me the the the studio had somebody else in mind or some other people and you and the director was really going to bat for me and a month later we was in winnipeg yeah shooting a movie man so i don't know if i probably said thank you but thank you for going to bat for me hey man hey well you're welcome but you helping us out fact is you know i i i have some influence there right so it's like you know you you get you get your way in the position i'm in a little bit but plus i was like nah this is the cat uh y'all y'all get to you know get credit like you y'all thought of it you know what i'm saying but i just knew with the combination i thought you know just from working with you with an undercover undercover brother i'm like nah nah this guy he'll make it his own thing and he'll just run with it that way and and i was right about that yeah yeah yeah you you came up with some fun ah damn can you curse on this yeah are you podcasting you came up with some funny stuff because it's funny [ __ ] yeah funny stuff yeah no but the hardest thing was keeping a goddamn straight face with you yeah but yeah yeah i just i hope they kept all that [ __ ] in i didn't see the fine in the the final we go we're gonna find out this tuesday oh yeah on netflix and everywhere else yep you know how now it's funny when somebody goes to bat for you like that i remember telling my wife like i i was i i knew that script and i knew everybody else's lines just because i go there's no way i'm coming in unprepared that's always good but the weird part is when you're i've never done a that's the first like action movie i've done so it's as a comedian i you don't want to make a buffoonish but you know you're there to make it funny right right so the first scene we shot together was like in the middle of the movie after you just killed somebody and so i felt like that one scene i was like i don't really know i didn't know what we're organically how our characters are going to interact it's such a weird dynamic the first day the first scene i'm standing over a dead guy that you just killed and i'm going okay i want to act like i don't want to act like oh oh my god there's a dead person but then i also want to be like i want to be funny it was so that first day was so awkward for me well it didn't look awkward you you you handled that like it was really funny like you walk up well i well we kept doing making it our own in the script i put some of my own little idiosyncrasies in the movie like i don't have a sense of direction i have a horrible sense of direction so we wrote that in the movie and also if you walk up on me without me seeing you i tend to jump i mean back in the day i used to hit people by accident right you know all the in real life yeah all the whole martial art thing why are you looking at me like that yeah but i don't know i don't i don't i haven't done that in a long time just so don't don't worry but like when people make like i mean i've been doing martial arts all my life right so that whole at the last second block an encounter that was like part of my whole system so there were a few people you know like joggers in the past and you know i didn't hear coming up and people that just kind of just just let people know like i've been doing martial arts and stuff don't come up and hey it's michael jackson don't do that i mean i mean i'm serious like because i don't want to get sued for one thing i'm lucky that i got away with the [ __ ] i got away with but but yeah that that kind of thing so i we worked we worked that in so and i don't want to give give away too much but his his characters well it's in the damn trailer little trailer thing so i mean when you you always pop up on me and i'm ready to you know take your head off yeah that was one of those little inside jokes yeah i just i've never i was telling my wife i go god i go can i get a movie that's shot in rome or like australia because you're like hey yeah we're doing a movie uh we're gonna be in winnipeg and i went oh paris and you had so at one point your your wife's in the movie she plays one of the the uh terrorists terrorists and she can fight and she beats i'm not giving away she beats my ass in the movie somewhat but uh like you had your wife at one point like after the first couple weeks then your wife was out so you was i i ended up being like the third wheel with you guys a lot of times the psychic yeah you remind me of me man so much because like you know i'm kind of to myself a lot you know you know we're popular but it's like you know we're just comfortable and it's just like roman like we'll be riding around with there's gary just walking by himself down the street yo man so you know you know it got to the point where it's like yeah yeah let's go to this place i want this gary all right let's check gary save me so if he's just you know kind of moping around somewhere you know but but yeah man but uh that's why we we picked you up yeah you know that that's me like i enjoyed doing that yeah we knew the places to shop the other stuff i introduced you to you liked those chips yeah and all that kind of stuff and it's just a commercial yeah you you had it you had a kombucha but you saw i just want i wanted to rectify that that's why i want to do that today this is good man yeah yeah so that makes us feel a lot better okay that [ __ ] in canada was disgusting yeah that was that that that's an acquired taste kind of thing yeah you know my wife was she was cast before me in that movie in the movie she was cast before i did well her her and the director they went to school together and howard right yeah and and they worked on another project uh you know years earlier i didn't know so when this came up he was like i got something for you i want you to play this role whatever and then it was like by the way what's your husband doing for real like basically who would be in that movie but you i can't see like another martial artist uh playing it like you're not allowed to say who they had in mind who i oh i think i know who i don't know who else could play it like to the point like you were doing your stunts and you're really doing those fight scenes i just can't i can't picture anybody well they they cast things all kinds of different ways and you know they double people i don't know i don't know what they were they would have had to double that whole movie yeah because once once the [ __ ] hits the fan in this movie you're fighting every day and uh it was funny because i'm watching you know i showed up about a week before uh i i was scheduled to start filming so i was always like hanging out in the back because i'm by myself and i don't know anybody in winnipeg so i go yeah i'll go to set right and watch what's going on so i got to see like the fight sequences up close and i was just like there's no way somebody's going to pull that off dude the stunt double would have had more screen time than the actor yeah well that's why a lot of movies suck you know you see these movies and you go oh that's horrible that's the reason why they they'll sometimes cast it with people who don't know what the hell they're doing this could have been one of those yeah you know what i mean uh i don't know i mean it it turned out the way that it did uh yeah so yeah i they make decisions that i don't quite understand a lot i was i was telling my wife when we were shooting i go this is this is a co-directed movie but because you are you've been in so many films so you know what's going to make it look authentic and like a real fight yeah and it was funny because dallas would say hey let's do this you go but that's gonna look like this he goes yeah you're right it was a great collaborative effort but i love that there was what i liked about the movie there was no egos on the set that's right there wasn't like no this is it listen you would you gave me jokes and i was like i'll try it yeah i'm not above like no i'm the funny one in this movie all right i'll try yeah but yeah that that that's what i like you know there's a certain energy there you know that that's that's real collaborative and you know we're having a lot of fun you know i i i like to you know i come up with jokes against me you know what i mean yeah yeah but that's fun i don't you know i don't have that kind of ego you know that you know you know whatever that that's but you know literally you know i mean i i've written jokes for for stand-up comedians i don't want to say anything but you know there's a yeah hey i've i can't not think in terms of humor and that's why i like you know some of the things that i enjoy writing like i wrote black dynamite yeah it's the way my mind works by the way as far as in the stand-up world that's one of the best comedy movies out just because it was just there was so many comedians in it you know what i mean and you're like oh what what is he doing in it what's she doing so it's just natural you get a bunch of comedic good comedians again right organically they should come up with some funny stuff yeah well yeah but really there's there wasn't a lot of a lot of improv uh because the thing is you know i had to really take everybody and go no no no you guys we we got to take this seriously you you you're not this is not meant to be funny what's funny about it is how serious you are yeah you know what i mean and so when they get that note they're they're right in there you know because if you know because so so many committees are used to trying to make something funny in the moment yeah but it's got to be this whole the narrative got it's got to be a you know bigger thing and so that's that's the thing like if you're doing it you know um uh authentic to the 70s you are you were definitely you were taking this real damn serious like three the hard way was about poisoning this the water systems in in chicago new york and l.a that about a liter's worth of liquid that would kill all the black people yeah right these were growing ass people and that was the movie premise they were dead serious about that i don't know right supposed to love that that's [ __ ] hilarious you know this am i allowed to laugh at that no no no no no but that that but the the the audacity to have your movie about that this leader is going to be dumped in the water system is going to kill all the black people where you know paranoia was that high and the whole conspirator thing was that high at that time that that was serious right wasn't nobody playing that as a joke but that's why it's hilarious you know um jim brown fred williamson killed something like 80 some odd people in that movie that's okay you know what i mean like like it's nothing like what do they do for a living they're bad asses they all have clubs they all have i mean you know i just think about when i was growing up i'm going damn i got superfly uh the mac and willie dynamite on my wall they were pimps is that not hilarious really when you think about it yeah you know so when you know so that whole world going taking serious i'm taking this completely serious makes it hilarious so well you know get off this soapbox real quick but but that that that's kind of like you know the the style of that humor yeah yeah so but people who are naturally funny direct it in a certain way it's going to be absolutely hysterical yeah yeah so you just you wrote and directed pretty much yeah yeah um technically someone else has the director uh credit that because that was the deal but on set i dealt with everything i dealt with the performances i've dealt with you know kind of you know how i am so that was just your that was just your brain child black dynamite yeah i mean i'm the lead character i'm you know what am i going to have somebody directing the way i'm going to do it right you know really i'm you know so that that's kind of you know and now we we're about to do well i i have a follow-up to that you know with uh yeah i had well i had tony baker on last week yeah yeah and uh when i talk to him i go i it was funny because you you reached out to me and goes hey can you get a hold of tony baker i said yeah so i called tony i remember i was texting he texted me back and then he went silent and then last week he told me yeah i fell asleep and i woke up and i had missed like three calls from you and i was like i was like what the [ __ ] this guy and i want to do a movie dude call mike i go he's got this film i said he wants to bring you in on it i don't know what it is i said i'm just leaving it in his hands because i didn't know what you want me to tell him and then i felt like i almost felt like a proud uncle when i saw tony post a picture on set and he had the hair with the part down the middle right and he couldn't say what he was working on but i knew but i told tony i said listen when somebody goes to bat for you like mike did with me and welcome to sudden death i go i would have been knocking on your door i said all right i gotta pay him back this is my turn like pay it forward i am so uh dude i am such a fan of great comedians my wife and i we i remember tony from day one you know and and you know just watch the the just with i mean this guy who always changed up his uh his act is is like there's he's got classics that he's tossed aside yeah you know what i mean and just kept evolving and so i'm like you know i'm like man that guy i see the work and i feel like man just like you i feel like you belong on another level you know you you need to be open up to a a wider audience tony's another person like that and and but beyond it is just the type of people you are that to me i don't give a [ __ ] how talented somebody is it's like the person you are to me that that means at you know actually the most to me you know what i mean because that that's that's something that's gonna you know i would think that's gonna continue on and you when you can just look at the world in such a way and decipher it and make it funnier for everyone because you have that that every man uh kind of view i think that's some of the best comedy and i think that's one of some of the most pervasive comedy so you know i'm i'm a big fan of that tony killed it oh without a question killed it in this movie and i'll show you some stuff that you know you know after this thing that you know tony uh gary anthony williams they they work for the first time together and you would think that they were like a freaking duo yeah unbelievable stuff they're doing well it's it's probably like when you were talking about black dynamite like tony just give him the lines and he'll just you know make it his you don't gotta you can tell him exactly how to deliver it exactly what to say but the way he's gonna bring it out is gonna make it funny yeah and then then his energy on top of another creative energy like the stuff that he and gary created i can't take credit for because they just they with the alchemy of those two people they created [ __ ] that i didn't write you know i give it up to people like well i mean i almost wrote every damn line in black dynamite there's stuff that these guys did like just like with you when you would just go off you know and welcome to sudden death it's like that's the greatest stuff because it got cr art got created in front of you you know what i mean and so what's more real about that you know what i mean so and so the reality of the moment brought another moment that we never thought of so that's the best that's like that one of the best things about filmmaking when you guys you got guys got you know you have people as talented as you and and gary and tony that's just some magic stuff man yeah so you know that's why i love working with people like you are you able to give the title the movie you did with tony yeah so outlaw johnny black outlaw you showed me the trailer when we were shooting welcome to sudden death and i was like oh he's got another one he's got another black dynamite on his hands yeah but that trailer was done a year and a half before i started filming filming the movie black dynamite or some death up outlawed johnny black yeah i showed you the trailer to outlaw johnny black i shot a a mock trailer first yeah that's what you told me right but people but but that wasn't the movie that wasn't that wasn't a frame of the action yeah yeah yeah you i remember you told me you go yo i'm getting ready to shoot this movie and you told me all that you said you was calling him favors like digging kim whitley come in on like an hour's notice or some [ __ ] like that yeah yeah but man but who showed up for the movie i got i got maybe like 25 20 28 like major people came out for that movie yeah well it's kind of like before you came on i was talking about um dave chappelle's doing chappelle's camp in yellow springs ohio in the middle of nowhere and he's getting he's getting the a a list comics to come out people that aren't even on the road anymore like letterman came out and did a set oh wow yeah and like jon stewart and trevor noah and kevin hart i did it last week and i go it's just sometimes you just want to be a part of something yes yeah so people coming out i'm sure most people that saw black dynamite is when you asked to do johnny black they're probably like oh this could be another one well yeah i got some folks like anthony anderson threatened me he he basically said man if you do another black dynamite type of thing man without me i'm going to shoot you well yeah dave chappelle said something something along that line too yeah it's funny you say that because that black dynamite is so chapelle it's so chappelle-like if you think about it yeah absolutely i remember man i go back to i remember i ran into dave at the uh coffee shop in new york on 14th street it's like this is kind of a very well-known meeting place a lot of people in the industry models and stuff you used to meet there and i ran into him before he i mean he had just shot the chappelle show and i was you know i had this idea with the whole black dynamite thing and he was like mike man i got this this show and what and i knew he was excited about it but you know he just he was just like he couldn't tell me too much about it but it turned out to be chappelle show yeah and man it's that was like wow this is what he was talking about you know yeah yeah so it it it's you know it's like one of those moments in time but like i'm right that guy i mean a super fan of his and if you get a chance um why he's doing it it's worth the trip to yellow springs ohio just cuz joe coy said it best he said it's like it's like a comedian's woodstock yeah because you nap you don't know who's gonna be there yeah and it's in the middle of a field and that it's not so much the show it's just the energy of the show and then afterwards dave's got this party shack it sits on the side of a road you drive by and you think it's nothing and you go in there and it's like a dj booth there's a bar it's a little nightclub but you don't know who's going to be there you can look over commons there or it could be like the you know quest loves djing you're like what the [ __ ] is going on in here right i did it last wednesday and i was i was drinking too much too fast so at about 12 30 right when the party's jumping i like the road drive i said we got to go right he goes what i go i can't be the obnoxious guy at the party i didn't want to stay too long i don't think i said goodbye i think they're still looking for me like is gary and yellowstone well i just disappeared that sounds like a moment but i mean like hey you know i guess that sounds like a comedian's kind of uh yeah but you never know you know dave's so um uh he's he's got a lot of music artists too like the day i did sleep to leap quality was there and there's a couple other black artists i didn't know their names [Laughter] little somebody there's some conscious rappers i know one of your lyrics but i don't know your name yeah [ __ ] man i feel old as hell man there's all these people nowadays i'm like man who who i'm little this little oh there's so many lils little poop diapers yeah i don't know like yeah i'm like some of this stuff ain't for me man this whole this i i'm waiting for this trend to rap to just just go by yes everybody sounds the damn same to me yeah i'm i'm just old i'm sorry just the hickory dickory dock thing man come on everything sounds like that to me yeah now what do you when you're working out what are you listening to old hip-hop violent ass lyrics that you sh you know people younger than me shouldn't be listening to but i you know i could discern it but like it's like it's crazy like some of the most violent ignorant ass lyrics he's drinking more of it see babe that's good but i feel healthier i can feel the pounds dropping but i listen to like i mean there's a few like and i and i almost hate myself because you know i was a former school teacher so i was always talking about images and you know like influences and crap you know i was a real school teacher before i was an actor like mr white yeah mr white and what grade six seven and eight i was i was emd i was emotional well i was especially an ed teacher because i was a special ed type of kid you know i was you told me on my own since i was 14. yeah yeah all that kind of stuff i thought i i thought i had a rough childhood and then i then you start telling about yours and i go hey you never know everybody's going through some [ __ ] yes everybody's going through this but it's the reason bro why i'm the happiest person i know it is the reason why i'm the happiest person i know because i remember what the hell i came from yeah yo i when i didn't know that that everybody didn't experience getting shot and everybody didn't lose so many people around them that was as commonplace for me yeah i didn't know that you know uh and then winding up against all odds going to college and straightening up and becoming a teacher after i had done so much out there you know at the right time i'm the luckiest person on the planet so i got to give back as far as dealing with you know dealing with that type of stuff yeah but man you know man seriously i'm not supposed to even be here as far as the odds is concerned yeah for real well i always say like doing movies is great and it's awesome but the what i like most is you get to know people's backstory and what made them tick and like you're we're all in the same industry entertainment industry but like i say those there's those moments like me and you talking in the the makeup trailer just about how we both grew up and i go those are things like i hold on to more than they say what was it like working on sudden death i go stuff i like the best was actually getting to know people yeah and how they came to be and how they came to evolve and the person they are because knowing you i would think i would think you grew up in a two-parent home your dad puts you into karate at five you're so like you know you're not you don't never get too high too low like i i when i see things going around you i see you're always just processing information like and then you you don't like react immediately like okay you process and then you respond accordingly so that's what i would think and then when you told me you're upbringing i went what the [ __ ] no seriously man i'm shoot it's i had the worst temper that i than i've ever seen of any human being in my life i don't know i've never seen that society i would never think i don't ever lose my temper now i mean my kids can say they've never seen me angry my wife and i i mean i we really had maybe three disagreements it's not even a full-fledged argument really um you know and i've known her for 25 years but it but i didn't start out that way yeah dude i was the most mercurial like like it's because man you know when you're sensitive hey i was an artist right didn't know that growing up but you're you really have the heart of an artist but you're in a surrounding that is going to beat on you and you know try to try to exploit every sense of sensitivity that you have well you kind of self-destruct you create this armor but it's like you don't give a [ __ ] you will fight to the death in a second like or for your your homie or somebody that's close to you because all you got is your love you don't you don't know what to do with it you've got this abundance but now that turns into you protecting whatever little world that you have so i experienced that early on dude a partner of mine got out of uh prison he's been in there for a long time i haven't talked to him almost in like 28 years right he just got out and we reconnected over facebook like about a few months ago and he reminded me of [ __ ] that i tucked away and i'm like no that never happened and just like oh my god it did it did and that you know things that it's like that would be a that would be a movie right now like and i didn't in and it was like it was just so commonplace in my life at that time the people i hung with was was they were predators uh i loved to fight i loved the street fight i was i was you know just ready all the times just this coiled spring until i you know i realized where that was all coming from i luckily found out at the right time and then my whole world changed when i said oh shoot okay this is why you know and um then i started to see another way out why i was so angry because i wanted to have the life that i have now but there was no root to that [ __ ] and the frustration of that made me feel like i don't give a [ __ ] about the life that i'm living currently because this is not supposed to be the life that deep down i want but then i mean like i say i'm the luckiest person i know because i've i figured that [ __ ] out just in time and changed my whole life and so that's why i say i mean my worst problems are like i better not complain about him because i wouldn't trade these problems with the old ones long at all facts yeah so you know you know i you know to whom much is given much is required so yeah that's my position now the rest of my life i need to be giving back and i need to make you know i i need to build up other people if i don't make your life better by being in it i don't want to be in your life i don't ask for nothing i only i'm supposed to give yeah and that that gives me all the pleasure in in the world that's if you know my background you know you would understand i'm supposed to be in service of other people for the rest of my life that's the only way i can make sense out of the blessings that i have right now only way i can make sense out of it yeah yeah yeah that was um when we when we was talking about your upbringing and the makeup trailer i was just like i i'm so glad i met you at this point in your life because i don't know if i would have wanted to meet you in the 80s aren't you the guy that beat the [ __ ] out of me outside of dunkin donuts i would have gave you the bavarian green just ask but no no joke like when i played mike tyson i wasn't playing mike tyson i was playing me how did you get that part by being that goddamn character you know what i mean like by tapping into my my youth hold on mike how'd you get mike tyson i walked into a hallway and they was canceled i walked in and said i'm mike tyson i'm playing this okay well i mean it's it's one of those things man it's fortuitous man i i was able to tap into some it's amazing the connections that we both had i was fighting grown men when i was 14 and 15 right and destroying them i had such a rage in me that it was non-stop man but it was like it's like i had a fire in me that was like you know like in a fire you know it can cook the food or i could burn the house down just gotta know what to do with it so just like mike tyson i recognize that rage and i could tap into it and that's like almost like a little superhero switch that i can you know i can do it in the movies i can go blip or if there's a good reason to i can tap it into it anytime i want i know where it comes from you know that's you know another reason why i train the way that i do is because i think that there's a harmonious balance that training improves me you know what i mean in you know not to say that i'm still crazy and i have to do something but but but there's a there's some reality to it you know i had no fear zero fear of anything of guns anything um and so knowing that i had that ability to go there and uh it's one of the reasons why i've never drank i've never been high a day in my life because almost everybody i've seen get taken out is because they were a step too slow and i feel like i wouldn't be here if i if i indulged in that yeah you know so still see that's you know that's the computer right yeah but yeah but yeah i was um but even when i was at my most violent my my i was always focused against i i love to fight bullies and i love to be the backup you know in a in a group where it's like you know it could be the finest girl in town waiting for me at her house or a potential fight with a group of people i'm going toward the fight there's such a there was such a part of me that have been blowing her back out dude i was you guys how'd you guys do no see there was something i mean i'm still like actually dude i've been trying to spar with jon jones for the last number of years i've gone yeah i would go i was whenever i'd go i was doing this movie part of the movie is like you know i was doing this movie in albuquerque and i love training with like the best people i can and so i'm like i'm almost i'm almost on [ __ ] mode putting you know like having pictures outside of jackson winklejohn going john where you at just because i just love that that uh the excitement of battle you know it's on a different level now that's not you know the ego thing in fact i look i love to be humbled i love to be wrong i love to be humble i love to be beaten because then i learn something i love to be wrong because i learned something and what but to be able to train against like really top-notch people to test myself is like that's a high for me and actually when i train against people or you know spar against folks that are like really high level or whatever and they're not to the the level that i thought i actually get depressed because you know then i didn't learn anything you know i go oh um this person their basics is not that strong and whatever then they're like how did you you know i was like yeah i know i'm the actor but this martial art thing i'm a nerd with it yeah i love technique i love applying stuff and i'm young enough to continue to do it so yeah i'll continue to test myself i'm luckily i've trained with probably i mean since since i was 17 i i was fighting against bill wallace who was the undefeated middleweight champion that that was my sparring that i was his sparring partner and ever since then i've always trained with like you know ufc heavyweight champs like maurice smith josh barnett people like that because i'm such a nerd with it i just love that but but i guess that so that part of me that enjoyed battle still it still is a lot but it's on a different level now it's more more on a philosophical level did you train with jon jones no no he you know i don't know what kept happening but i but he says he'll i mean like i guess it was about a month ago we have a mutual friend and in common that he says you know he'll you know he'll show up this time how do you think he's gonna do it heavyweight i think he's gonna destroy heavyweight i'm i don't know if anybody's there to stop him he's got he's got way too much technique he doesn't telegraph and this is a little inside kind of stuff the way he moves is is way more advanced than than most people yeah he his a to b his um economy of movement his relaxation before uh moving is unusual and it would take a lot of people uh extra time to be able to combat that what do you think um if if what do you think would happen if he fought francis and ganu he would beat francis zingano it wouldn't be a competition honestly jon jones can easily walk around at 2 30. easily you know people think about i'm saying yeah like i know yeah yeah people think because he's thin looking but when you're like if okay if you're thin looking at 230 you're all bones that's solid you know what i mean but if you're muscled up at 2 30. you know you're not that like him fighting dan cormier if you you see it's not don't think about what you're looking at think about their bone structure reduce them to their skeleton yeah john jones skeleton and dan cormier skeleton john jones skeleton is a lot bigger that's why he can he can throw him down his leverage everything john is is really unusual and if he used more footwork god it'd be like impossible it would be very hard to deal with him i think there's certain holes that's why i would love this forum so i think there's certain holes and i think i can get away with certain things the first time i don't i don't know if i'll get away with it the second time i fight him but i think there's certain things i could exploit like the first time we meet like who are his parents because you got two guys in the nfl and then you got exactly ufc champ and i'm like and they're all three excelling like there's a is is one brother chandler i mean this case made he's the best d-lineman in the nfl well yeah there's some heredity right there man you know yeah but john john like dead lifts like freaking eight 45 pound plates that's ridiculous and he's like he's crazy strong but look how tall he is he yeah and it's not like a short guy he's got to just go you know about three inches and he's yeah and no he's this tall he's he's a phenomenon well i guess i guess i mean if you think of how good daniel did moving up the heavyweight you figured john's going to travel well daniel was heavyweight at first yeah he came down to lightweight yeah but um but john john would have an easy time i mean stephen he'd have an easy time with these guys because they're they're they're not as fast as the light heavyweights who can't really land on john they're so they're slower so you think they're going to land on john do you think john's going to land on them being faster uh yeah i i see it as i know it's heavyweight but i think he would have an easy time at heavyweight because the heavyweights i don't see any heavyweight with the basic skill set uh that's why you know in the heavyweight ranks it's like to win three wins in heavyweight is like a record mm-hmm you know i mean it changes so much it's because that you know it's kind of like rock and stocking robots you know almost nobody has defense nobody slips they don't make you pay for missing it there's a there's a lot of somebody looks so frustrated yeah because i'm so frustrated you're looking like this you know paige i'm a nerd with this i'm a nerd with this why i before i even met you i you know i knew that you had you have like big ufc fight parties when the fights come around but i didn't know like you really have like you have active ufc champions and and guys at the top of their sport like picking your brain for information like like you said you trained with i was like god damn i just thought you know i don't know he's a action film star but i didn't know you was serious like that so i was i'll tell you when i knew on uncover brother two when i walked into the your dressing room one time and you and atheon mm-hmm i came in like you do have such a deep conversation about hip movement and stance and i was like this yeah i'm gonna leave these two alone what you two are in there because you had one of the k1 champions as one of the stunt guys like this guy named john claude lauderson there's like champion fighters like even when even when i like uh my stand-in when i was doing uh arrow was you know michael mcdonald like one of the baddest k-1 fighters like there's i mean you know being a nerd with you know what i what i'm into and what i do it's well i i've been i've been invited to gyms in rooms that you just normally don't get into my one of my best friends was uh super middleweight champion frankie lyles so when he's in his camp i'm at i'm at his camp he's uh promoted by don king i'm in his camp training with tommy hearns all kinds of major boxers i'm i'm boxing with the top boxers heavyweights like you know i mean i can throw a bunch of names i'm not sure if you know him but it's like but yeah that's my nerd crowd of boxers then i got my wrestling folks you know i wrestled in college and i kept with that jujitsu i actually started in jiu jitsu first i'll go to istanbul and train with some top people there right so because yeah they know me as an actor but the fact is i can put in the work then i get respect on a certain level like training with maurice smith one of the early you know ufc champions training with this guy for a long time like you know fighting with him in his home gym like 20 years ago so it's like i've actually amassed a lot of um information that usually doesn't trans that like i'm like a a damn secret agent like that i've been i don't know too many people who was training with these this amount of world champions it's not it's not usual i'm a very lucky individual and then you know trading with wu ben who is jet lee's teacher in in beijing you know and then from oh yeah there's a bunch of i don't want to get too deep on that but there's a lot of very elite people i've had the opportunity to train besides some of the best in the world and so quite naturally i'm gonna have a little bit of a uh an advantage uh now knowledge advantage and i can be a striking coach to anybody out there any you know anybody uh that's a mma you know fighter of course you know i'm in my grappling i don't care that that's where my weakness is you know because it you have to apply yourself yeah i noticed that yeah if you're rusty you're using you're going to get your river on his grappling is not where i thought it would be a little disappointing no i mean i don't care how good of a grappler you are if you're not in shape you gotta you gotta stay doing that for a while did you get your wife into fighting or was she already like into it when when you guys start dating well you know she she's a natural athlete we do everything together we're we we're kind of a couple nerds anyway but yeah we see you guys in the training magazines and [ __ ] yeah you know she we we train with you know we i trained her and kind of like kept her away from other folks and she she didn't know how good she actually was and i found out dude the kick that she catches you with yeah every time people see that kick they go oh shoot i mean high ranking people they're like what kick is that i said i taught her that i taught her that kick like a couple weeks before she did it to you but she didn't know that she's not supposed to be able to do that like what do you mean she's not supposed to be able to do that it's like what i i like like i would tell her i would train and do combinations with her and i'll say you know triple up on that hook kick right now any anybody really knowing martial arts to do a triple hook kick is very hard to do but she doesn't know that she just thinks coming from me that's something easy it's kind of like saying okay i want you to reverse this 360 degree dunk just 360 degree dunk the other way and if you don't know basketball you think oh this is what basketball players do you know what i mean if you don't know the limitations your mind doesn't know the limitations you know what i mean so i would treat i will have my wife do something that i think she can physically do mentally dude but she doesn't have a mental block to it so she's been training alongside me at an advanced level that she doesn't even realize his advance like you know what i mean like i will like i'm i'm having her perfect the jab before she moves on to anything else i'm having her perfect this movement before she moves on to anything else where you go to a regular class they're going to move you up at a certain point whether you're ready or not because you're spending your money you know what i'm saying so you know she's of course she's got one-on-one instruction so my my wife is the level of several black belts so uh a normal morning in the white household you wake up grab some kombucha have a couple sips talk about how good it is and then what you guys just go in the backyard and train yeah we got a gym at the house or you know we keep it we keep it moving we keep it interesting like well when gyms were open we we'd work out together you know there was a like at first my wife you know it was it was a thing to wear one to balance out her aesthetics like you know she was certain muscle groups were out of uh you know kind of out of balance you know so first was to balance out your aesthetics so then when you move you move more you know adequately you know that's kind of the way i look at it but um but then she would train with me and plus she's a natural athlete but yo she can fight she's she has she doesn't fight like a girl at all really no well like i said she kicked me in my face dude wow the biggest the most worried i i was in the entire movie is doing the fight scene with her because you and her yes because i train her to tear people's heads off right to really hit hard she only knows how to hit her she doesn't know how to pull punches so i'm like jesus christ like if she messes up uh you know we're gonna we're gonna be in trouble we're gonna fight for real no no it's like there's times where it's like you know even at home it's like like you know it's one two three okay all right now babe no you so so it's like i got to be ready you know so so it's like i'm ready to move no matter what if she slips up i got to move because she will crack my you know my my eye open she don't punch light right she doesn't kick like she's she's not been told to go like this you know what i mean she's told to murder you right so it's kind of like i was in once that fight scene was over with us i really could relax because i didn't want to make her pull punches i wanted her to still throw those punches real so it looks real on on camera it was real there's times where i just slipped that damn thing and i'm like if i didn't slip that you know we would have had to stop for the day i would hate to be yeah one of your kids school teachers and your daughter's grades aren't up to par or she's acting up in class and then you and her walk in i'd be like oh [ __ ] yeah i know you got supposed to crazy pants nah it ain't my baby that's not my bed like this you're right i'm a terrible teacher if the 18 year old mic would have been a problem but me come on now like i'm the last person i'm i'd be the last parent in dragon ball to lose my temper think about it you know like like you thought you know i finished the whole bottle by the way there you go but but just like you said i got a [ __ ] you you're sorry that that's gonna happen no i'm kidding but remember like you said that you thought i was you know from a two-parent household right and you know somebody put me in a crack that's that's kind of how i come off now you know but like yeah i i'm very even-tempered i don't like nobody's in danger you know unless you're sure nobody's in there that's when you go to pete look my past was my past i'm very even tempered right now yeah but that that's what frustrates me sometimes man like we wasn't we were on set on undercover brother and see it's like some [ __ ] that happened to me like when i was you know growing up it's like hey yeah that that that double the overtime game was really really something else last night yeah yeah mike yeah so uh you see that new chuck norris movie i'm like damn it i can speak about something you know it's like you know i'm an intelligent human being like i don't have to talk about martial arts or you're not in danger it's like that follows me around a lot well i think that's that somebody doesn't know you i i i do a joke about being on an airplane and i i i stopped telling people if they sit down next to me they asked me what to do for a living i stopped saying a comedian yeah because if they don't know me it's going to be the whole tell me a joke or they want to tell me a joke that's so [ __ ] long you're just like this how long is this joke yeah that happened um a couple a couple months ago before kova uh neighbor mind we go over his house we're in the backyard and the guy asks what i do and i'm a comedian i wish i would have never [ __ ] said it cause i'm talking 20 minutes later yeah he's still trying to get this joke out it's somebody else's joke that i it was uh anthony jeselnik a comedian i knew the joke and i'm looking at him like you know i know this joke right and he's [ __ ] it up and he won't stop and i'm going oh so it's probably similar to you or if they don't know you they're trying to probably build a rapport with you they're like hey martial arts and they'll probably throw out some random guy that only you would know oh no only they would know because there's all these every every around every corner there's some proclaimed master oh you know masters okay yeah okay let's let's not it's like that with comedians they'll be like you know frank smith from milwaukee wisconsin he'd been a tv's movie no he's a local guy how the [ __ ] would i know a guy named phrase bruh it just it just happens to me all the time or you know you ever had to [ __ ] somebody up okay here we go okay or or i'm i'm meeting with uh the captain of industry some studio boss and and they got to tell me their tough guy story yeah you know i'm a little i'm i may be scrappy but you know there was one time i was like jesus christ i gotta listen to your your tough guy story that happens a lot so you're off the bat mike i don't get in fights i'll run mike ship pops off i'm in the car yeah just hop in it's already started but you know it drives me crazy sometimes i think oh we're going to talk some business okay you know to them i'm the for-armed monster martial art head kicking guy it's like i'm reduced to that there's no chance of talking on another level mm-hmm you know it's it's a little it's kind of well let's switch out there how did you get how did you uh get the part and how did i get married oh why did i why don't i get married well you know that that's one of those things i got to give tyler prairie credit on on one level because that dude does know he can he can hone in on somebody's personality and their character and he honed in early on on who i really was underneath all the whole i mean he doesn't follow the whole martial arts action stuff he he's seeing oh you know here's a here's a guy that i was part of uh house of pain before there was a house of pain i was part of the pilot series he did a 10 yeah i heard about that he changed the game a little bit yeah he did ten episodes i was part of those episodes right and he then had to deal with tbs and i i i kind of uh read and i came back when he was shooting the hundred episodes and i did a few uh episodes as that character so tyler knew me as somebody you know who had you know comedic jobs and that's that's the only way he really saw me and so with um you know and we were friends you know and so when while i get married came up he's like you know he had this idea of me playing this this character because he he kind of see he's not blinded by the whole you know karate kicking thing and so you know he saw the guy he knows and he he thought i would be good set up with tasha smith as a couple and like little did he know we dated before but we were gonna oh for real yeah yeah we dated in the past right so like you said sometimes i channel that inner rage you probably chant on the frustration too no we never had an argument like we like we was chill yeah we was chill we had you know we was you know i mean we always were good friends like i never had an argument with her the only argument i ever had with tasha was on set as as the characters yeah now we was always the best of friends and we don't we go back 20 years we you know we're going to keep that secret you know that we had some you know you know some interaction in the past but uh i remember i showed up to set one day and it's funny how just women they can't keep secrets i showed up and um sharon leo i go i come in the set and i go hey hey sharon
