>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY,
WE'RE BACK HERE WITH KEVIN HART. RIGHT THERE. KEVIN, I GOTTA ASK YOU A
QUESTION ABOUT YOUR FRIEND DWAYNE JOHNSON. >> SURE. IT'S GOING TO GET VERY HONEST. <i> ( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> Stephen: WE TALKED ABOUT
THIS WEEK, HE MADE SOME NEWS THIS WEEK BY SAYING THAT HE HAS
A HABIT OF PEEING IN A WATER BOTTLE WHILE HE'S WORKING OUT. >> OKAY. >> Stephen: WERE YOU AWARE OF
THIS? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NAP YOUR
WORKOUTS WITH MR. DWAYNE JOHNSON? >> IT'S NOT NEWS TO ME. HE HAS SMELLED LIKE URINE FOR
YEARS. >> Stephen: CAN YOU TALK TO
HIM? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. >> AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU KNOW
WHEN A PERSON HAS A PROBLEM. HE'S DEALING WITH SOMETHING
ELSE. >> Stephen: SO THIS IS
COMPENSATING. >> YEAH, THERE WERE TIMES ON THE
SET WHEN I WAS LIKE, "SHOULD WE SAY SOMETHING?"
ANDESH WAS LIKE, "HE'S BIG." JUST LET IT HAPPEN. JUST LET IT HAPPEN, MAN. >> Stephen: SPEAKING OF BIG. THERE YOU ARE ON "MEN'S JOURNAL"
WITH YOUR MIGHTY BICEPS. RIGHT THERE. YOU'RE KIND OF DOING THIS THING,
THOUGH. YOU'RE KIND OF DOING THE FIST
THING UNDERNEATH THE BICEP. >> ACTUALLY, THIS SHIRT HERE I
HAD TROUBLE PUTTING IT ON. >> Stephen: YOU HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN FIT. HOW OLD ARE YOU HERE? >> 13, 13 YEARS OLD THERE. >> Stephen: THERE YOU GO. >> THAT'S RIGHT. .>> Stephen: RIGHT THERE. >> YEAH, IT JUST GOT RATED "R,"
DIDN'T IT, LADIES. IT GOT RATED "R." AS. >> Stephen: AS A TEENAGER
WEARING A SPEEDO, DID THAT HELP OUR HURT YOUR LOVE LIFE. >> THAT SAYS CONFIDENT. THERE'S NOTHING MORE CONFIDENT
THAN A YOUNG BLACK KID IN A SPEEDO. BY THE WAY, YOU GUYS PROBABLY
THINK THAT WAS WITH MY SWIM TEAM. NO, THAT WAS ON MY CLASS TRIP. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
LET ME TELL YOU-- LET ME TELL YOU-- LET ME TELL YOU HOW BAD
THAT IS. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW BAD
THIS PHOTO IS. WE HAD A CLASS TRIP-- I WENT TO
GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. I I WAS ON THE SWIM TEAM. THAT'S THE NORM. THESE ARE THE TRUNKS YOU WEAR. EVERY GUY IS IN A SPEEDO. WOMEN ARE IN TAPERED SUITS. I DID NOT KNOW THE WORLD OF THE
OTHER SWIM WORLD. I DID NOT KNOW THE LONG SWIM
TRUNKS EXIST. I WENT TO THE TRIP, MY GEORGE
WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. AND WE GET IN THE POOL, AND I
SAID I'M SO HAPPY I BROUGHT MY TRUNKS. AND I BROUGHT MY SPEEDOS. LET'S GO! AND I GET OUT THERE-- IT'S THE
FIRST TIME I HEARD A GROUP SAY, "WHAT THE ( BLEEP ) DO YOU HAVE
ON?" I'VE NEVER-- AT THE SAME TIME--
AT THE SAME TIME. AND I WAS LIKE--<i>
( LAUGHTER )</i> <i> ( APPLAUSE )</i>
I WAS LIKE-- I REMEMBER, GOING, "WHAT ARE YOUR ALL SPEEDOS AT?"
NOBODY ELSE HAD ON SPEEDOS. THAT'S MY CLASS TRIP. THAT'S A GREAT PICTURE. >> Stephen: TWO YEARS AGO,
WHEN YOU WERE ON-- ACTUALLY THREE, YEARS AGO, SINCE THEN,
YOU-- YOU WERE IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. >> YES, YES. >> Stephen: ANY RESIDUAL OR
ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT AS RAIN? >> NO, MAN, I'M GREAT. I'M BACK TO 100%. VERY LUCKY TO BE WHERE I AM. OF COURSE THE APPRECIATION FOR
LIFE GOES UP 1,000% WHEN YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT THAT,
YOU KNOW, COULD HAVE CAUSED TERMINAL HARM, LIKE TO WHERE IT
DIDN'T HAVE TO BE WHAT IT IS NOW. >> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND
IT MADE YOU RETHINK YOUR WORK-LIFE BALANCE. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> Stephen: BUT IT'S BEEN A
COUPLE OF YEARS. HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT-- HOW DO
YOU KEEP YOUR MIND FOCUSED WHERE IT SHOULD BE? >> I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW,
THIS IS WHEN THE BATTLE STARTS, RIGHT? BECAUSE AFTER MY ACCIDENT, OF OF
COURSE I WAS SHUT DOWN AND I WAS HOME. AND AFTER THAT THE PANDEMIC. AND YOU'RE LOOKING TAIL COURSE
OF ALMOST TWO AND A HALF YEARS WHERE I'VE BEEN HOME. THE FOCUS ON MY FAMILY WAS A
PRIORITY. THAT UNDERSTANDING-- ABSOLUTELY,
THAT'S MY BABY. THAT'S MY TRIBE, RIGHT THERE. THE HART HOUSEHOLD. THE HART HOUSEHOLD
( APPLAUSE ) SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR ME,
THE THING WAS, I'M SUCH A WORKAHOLIC. I GET 1,000% TO MY CRAFT, TO MY
BUSINESS. AND IT WAS UNDERSTANDING THAT
I'M NOT MATCHING THAT ENERGY AT HOME. HOW DO I-- HOW DO I GIVE THAT
ENERGY AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS GOING INTO THEM FIRST, AND
THEN THE WORK SECOND? I WAS DOING IT REVERSE. I WAS DOING IT WORK FIRST,
FAMILY SECOND. AND I THINK IT TAKES A LOT TO
CHECK YOURSELF, TO UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE WALKING WRONG, AND
WHERE YOU'RE TAKING STHEAPS AREN'T CORRECT STEPS. SO NOW THAT WE'RE GETTING BACK
INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AND I'M BACK AT WORK, IT'S THE MENTAL
OF, OKAY, ALL RIGHT, WE'RE BACK IN IT. YOU'RE HUSTLING AGAIN. BUT WE SHUT DOWN FOR A WEEK,
LET'S GO HOME AND LET'S CHILL. YOU'VE BEEN AT IT, MAKE SURE YOU
GO TWO WEEKS AND WIFE, KIDS, AND YOU'RE PRIORITIZING. SO I THINK NOW WHEN I'M ABLE TO
MAKE THOSE BIGGER MOVES AND BIGGER DECISIONS, IT'S JUST
MAKING THEM FEEL LIKE A PRIORITY. NOT THAT I HAVEN'T BEFORE. IN THE PANDEMIC I JUST REALIZED
THAT I COULD HAVE DONE MORE AND I MISSED A LOT. I'VE NEVER BEEN HOME FOR THAT
LONG. AS A COMIC, YOU'RE GONE EVERY
WEEKEND. AND I WAS GONE NEAR EVERY
WEEKEND FOR 20 YEARS OF MY LIFE. SO WHEN YOU GET TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS CONSISTENTLY, THE SMILE CHANGES. THE HEART BEATS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT. AND YOU WANT AND NEED FOR THE
LOVE THAT COMES WITH UN-- UNCONDITIONAL FEEDBACK OF JUST
YOU WHEN YOUR TIME. IT'S NOTHING ELSE. I DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE. I JUST WANT YOUR TIME. <i> ( APPLAUSE )</i>
THAT'S WHAT I TOOK FROM THAT. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE
ANOTHER BREAK. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE
KEVIN HART, EVERYBODY. <i> ( APPLAUSE ).</i>
