Speaker 1

Wait that ass up in the morning Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. And we got some legends in the building, icons living wenute this time, we really he said, special guests a lot. It's a little different icons, right. We have Will Smith and Martin Lawrence absolutely rock them around him my glass and god damn it, they boys. And we didn't Martin so dirty. No, we didn't do nothing.

Stuck in the elevator, I said, what's going on here? Now? Did you check the way capacity? Martin? How many people was on the elevator with you? It was a lot of people. That's what I'm saying. I've never seen an entourage like this from anybody. We have a lot of rappings, but what you're talking about on the elevator, I just told him, nobody don't find please, don't do that. That the worst when you're an elevator with people you don't know, because you gotta make small talk and yeah, you know,

I'd be like, hey, how you doing? Yeah, yeah, oh what's that? Oh no, you're just happy to see me. So you guys are brothers. You've done movies, your friends. I want to start. I just want to ask you guys a question. What's the craziest gift that you guys received from each other? If anything, craziest gift. And I'm gonna tell you why in the second guy craziest gifts because it's Martin. That's right, it's Martin inspired. Craziest gift we got you give me just off golf clubs? Yeah

you never you didn't swing on one time? He not not really, I don't go out there, no, I golf. But I was like trying to get him because like if you played any sport in your life, once you get to a certain age, you know you're not gonna be running ball. You know, got you so, But like golf, you get to you know, set your friends and you get to do you know, you get all of the same kind of energy from golf, except you can do

it till you eighty. Got you. I was trying to have Marty mar but yeah, yeah, he ain't take to it. Still at least I have the club yet. So it's this disrespectful right, So this is what Charlotta maagne my brother, I guess you can call him that got me for Christmas. It's right behind you, right, I mean, listen, Oh, Gina got Martin something like this, Wow, you know what I mean? My wife is a little upset you got you know? I mean, is that little disrespectful? The word I'm just asking.

I mean, here's the deal you I don't I don't judge, but by the cover. But what was the thinking? What would you he always going for? He called me his favorite asshole of time. Oh got it from yes, have it at home to be reminded of the level of antsholdness that he has to deal with. So yeah, that's not like, yeah, we don't. We don't send each other that kind everything that the whole boy. Let people smack it when they walk in. That's so bad boys. Now, why did it take so long to put this out

and get this done? This? No, it had to be right man, it's um you know what the first bad Boys? Uh? What it meant for the culture? You know what I mean? It was like it was at a time, you know, the height of Martin and the height of Fresh Prince and we came together and made this movie and it was like it was an important moment, you know, for for the culture at that point. It was Eddie, you know, Eddie was the black dude that was holding it down,

and then we came together and created something. And then we got to the second and I just didn't want to mess it up. You know, It's like, I don't want to do a cash grab. You know, everybody's doing sequels, Let's do one. I was like, no, if we're gonna make a Bad Boys a third one, it has to be deservant. There has to be messages and ideas. We got to be talking about something and it's not just you know, blowing some stuff up and and you know,

getting paid. I'm not confronted. Was leary because the first or second one, you guys are doing stunts, You're driving through thres your breathing. Will just said they played golf because and I'm gonna be running around. Yeah, yeah, trying to switch it, to switch it up a little bit. But though in this one, yeah, we start we use them. Yeah yeah, and it's different. Also, there's different technologies and stuff like that, so you can do stunts up to

a certain point. What we didn't have in the first movie was face replacement. They do face replacement, so you can I can do a stunt, right, and then they have the stunt man do the exact stunt that I did it, and they can match it and they can replace my face on the stunt man. Wow. Right, So they can just do it, so they can hold a single shot, but they can use the actual face of the actor and you can't tell the difference in the stunt. So you get to do as much as you or

as little as you want. You know, you didn't used to be able to do that. Yeah, no, no, that's yeah, that's speaking of budgets. How does money work in a situation like this? Yeah, y'all get equal pay or you know, because there was a rumor that you was making like ten million dollars more than Martin Nole. Okay, well we've been we've been talking for four minutes. You don't go to that ship interview, you know, as we finished your

we done. As we get ready for this movie. Though, you do research on how Bad Boys started, and I was reading that it was originally intended for John Lovitt and Dana Carvey. Yeah, yeah, they were the original Bad Boys. So how did you guys end up? Script came to me. Um, they presented it to me first, and then they wanted me to pick somebody to co star with me in the movie. And my sister Ray brought Will's uh attention

to me, and so won't you do it? Well? And I thought about it, so I called it was like a fresh prince. I thought about it. I called, well, I said, let's set up a dinner, and Will came to my house and we had a dinner, and after five minutes of talking to him, the rest is history. Man. You know, I couldn't say no, Yeah, now we had we literally it's one of those things you know, and you know, you know how important it is in a

situation like this. Staff chemistry, right, you know, somebody picks up right when you you know, you go in and you you create a chemistry. The second we sat down, it was there, and you know it was it was so perfect that we knew that we wanted to work together. We yeah, man, we had met, but we didn't we didn't really know each other. Like The Bad Boys was the first time we actually uh you know, sat down and chopped it up. And you know it's you can't

you can't fake and you can't buy chemistry. You can't buy chemistry. It's like you either got it with somebody or you don't, and you know me and this one right here, it's like there's so much love and so much respect for each other that and it's just fun to watch, you know, with people that really vibe like that.

He never looked at it like you watched the Early Fresh Prince and he was used to I don't know if you remember, I used to say his lines right before you, never looking none of that stuff, be like, you know what, I don't know about this. I Will does great work, you know. And I thought he was great on the Fresh Prints and his energy, the energy brings. So I just was excited to work with m. I

was jealous as hell. I was jealous as hell of Martin. Really, yeah, being honest, who got who had the better sit It's I think that's a matter of as hell. That's a tough one. We had the best. Yeah, we're gonna call it. We donna call at a time. We don't call at any time. You know. I just figured out what I'm gonna get you for, figured out what I'm It's something that you are. Now let me ask you guys, you watch your sitcoms like because they come out all the time.

So I'll be home watching I was watching Biggie Martin the other day. I was watching Queen Latifa I'm the First Prince the other day and you look back at and you're like, damn, these people are like became so huge even after that. The great thing about a TV show when you do something every week, you get a real chance to like try people out and put people on. Um,

you know. So you know, we Queen Latifa, you know, we've been friends for forever, but on The Fresh Prince she was like, Yo, I think I'm gonna try acting. So we were able to set it up on The Fresh Prince for her to make her acting debut on the show. So it's like when you when you have something like that, it's like a gym. You know, you get to train and you get to work out and

you get to have you know, people come through. So it was you know, for me, that was one of the best parts of it to be able to meet people and you know, you have a week to work stuff out and and you know, did you find the same Yeah. I love putting all the hip hop artists on, you know, because that's what I represented, hip hop. So I had a lot of fun with it, and uh just everybody that came on. We had a lot of fun. Well, you know, we'll always thought about the scene with you

and uh, the late great James Avery. Yeah, when your your father left. Yeah, man, what did you dig into to get that kind of emotion out of that thing? Because even now if you watch that your eyes watching, I'm still yeah, and it's like, um, James Avery. Man, it was like so every everybody on The Fresh Prince was stage trained acting, you know. So it was like Alfonso starting the show had fifteen years of experience coming in, so I was the least experience. The tap dance kid, yeah,

you know, moon walking into Michael Jackson. You know. So when when I when I came on to the show, Um, James Avery was one of the first people that pulled me up, and he was like, hey, you know you got you you have real talent, don't squander it, right, And so he never liked nothing. You didn't like nothing I did, right, And I was always trying to get

his approval. You know, Shakespearean trained, big command of his voice, he you know, his body as an instrument as a performer, and you know, so in that scene, it was like the first time that I took a real dramatic shot and h James Avery in that scene and we're doing it and I'm and I'm I'm trying to get there and I want to impress him so bad and the first time in front of the audience, I missed it and I messed the scene up, and I'm like, fuck,

and I'm losing it in front of the audience, you know, And he looks it. Hey, I snapped in and he's look was pointed. He's like, use me, use me in this scene. And we get and he said get it together, and I settled down. He said action, and we get and then ultimately we did the scene and we had the scene that was there and I'm holding him and

when I'm holding him, he whispers in my ear. Now that's fucking acting, right, And I was like, but you had to tell you tapped into disappointment, right, Yeah, you disappointed him, yes, and no, But that's what he was telling me about how to use the actor in the scene. He was like, use me, don't try to find it in you. So then when I tapped into the idea of how bad I wanted to impress him and how

I'm I'm getting in I'm I'm feeling it now. It's like when when you have those um emotional tool boxes, sometimes you slip into them. I can feel um that that emotion right now. And it was like, um, it was he was the father figure that Uh, Will felt like. Will me personally felt like I was disappointing him in that scene. So I tapped into that and I used

my relationship with James Avery to find that emotion. But you know, for me, it's been it's been a massive uh acting journey, hugely on the back of his teachings and his his urging of me to always go deeper. How did you guys both get those shows? You know? And Will? Did you feel like I'm a rapper from Philly? If I crossover, I might destroy my career? And how did you get into How did they give you that show?

How did that that show come together? Well? For me, my manager at the time was his name was Top of carew. He took me into HBO Hip and they had it was called hip at the time. It was a what did they parent company? And Uh he took me in to meet Chris Albreak and he was like, Yo, you know this guy's funny and what you think about giving them as his own show. So Chris was like, all right, we'll try it out. So I was like, just like that. He's like, yeah, I tried it out,

and I was like, oh shit, rests history. Wow, that was big back then, especially for a black man. What a kind of show it was. Yeah, for you to be a hip hop dude doing the shows. Yeah, yeah, And I did all them characters because I really want to show to work, you know, and that I didn't want it to fail. So I just started doing all these characters to try to push it, to push it,

to push it. You know what. I want to ask you why we live in this era of like pause and you know rapper saying no homo when you was doing and you was doing scenes like all upon kids, did you ever get backlash back then from your people, because now they for guy did that, he'd be like, pause, you know what I mean? Back then? This funny it does it's just funny. You just like, no, I just want to make people laugh. I just want to make people laugh. That was it was each character, that was it.

Martin did um well. Has he tried to get you to be more active on social media? Yes, and yet he gave me a camera. Use this. You have a camera team everywhere? Are you considering get jumping into because you see Will, it's been so effective for you, Like we don't know as much about you now like as we do about well, well we didn't used to know as much, but it seems like you like it now. I love it? Right, So you think that would be something I'm trying to do more things. You know, I'm

trying to be more creative. This guy has a creative mind, so he's always on there. But I'm trying to find things I could do and bring to the people. So no jumping out the playing for you more? No, no jumping out more swimming with shock? Why Will not? So here's what happens. So here's what Here's what happened. Not weird? Is this why it's family? Well? No, So what happened

was um and it's funny because it was. It was something like you know, I've been watching you for a while and it's something that I wanted to talk to you about that Will dive into it offline. But the idea for me is, um, I painted myself into a corner with Will Smith, right, and I realized that you know, we all we have our childhood traumas and we have our experiences, and then we all create these characters that are going to be our characters that defend us in

the world. There's certain things we can't do to, certain things we say, can't say, certain ways we react. If people do something something and we create a character that we go out into the world with, then that character wins some things for us. It's like, oh, we succeed by behaving this way. Then what happens You get to a point where it stops working as well, and the reason that it stops working because it's not true, it's not really who you are. And then you get back

to to a corner it stops working. Now the question is are you gonna be courageous enough and are you gonna be brave enough to kill essentially the character that you've created, and are you gonna have the courage to live as who you really are? And on my fiftieth birthday when I jumped out of that that helicopter over the Grand Canyon, that was kind of my moment for myself where I was like, I'm gonna be who I am even if it isn't in line with the Will

Smith that people think I'm supposed to be. I'm gonna have the courage and I'm gonna have the the the bravery to be who I am, you know. And it's like, I've been watching you for a while, and that's what I was. I was like, that was one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. I can see the the mechanism happening in your mind. You're seeing Charlemagne the god as separate from you, absolutely, And I was like, and I was like, I want to I

want I can see. I looked at a little bit of your book too, and I was like, you know, I want you to know who you really are is enough that the character can die because always I never wanted to be a character to your money, right, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And I just read us reading this book called The Unapologetically The Unapologetic Guy in the Black Mental Health and the woman readA Walker said we have to be willing to let go of who

we want people to think. Yeah, exactly, And that's that was the thing for me, um Me and Jay to talk about that a lot, you know, even in the the the idea of our marriage and how people want us to be married versus how we're really married, you know what I mean. It's like it's a really different thing. And it's so hard to let go of the characters people and what people want to see. And because also

those characters saved your life when you were young. Yes, those ideas saved your life and made your money, and they made you money, you know, so letting go of that and having the courage to really be who you are in the world. And it's it's like, it's terrified. Will should be a motivational not One of your closest friends called you, right and he's a close friend to us as well. He called you and he asked you for a couple million, and you gave it to him. No,

did not happen. Tyrese called millions like no, you know, let me tell you something. Me and Tyrese, Uh, we've been friends. He's out God, No, No, that's my dude. Tyrese is my dude. It's like, uh, Tyrese calls me when he don't he don't want the he don't want it cut. He wanted raw and uncut. And you know, the the the amount of talent that that dude has in all the possibilities that Tyrese has is what I

keep drumming in with him. Tyrese is functioning at forty percent of the capacity of what he really is, you know, And that's another thing, being brave enough to be who you really are versus you know, being Tyrese. Exactly right, I'm about to say that ain't got to that left. Yeah, you know, and we all do you know, they're still it's like, well, Will Smith takes good care of me. Will Smith takes good care of me. It's just he's

it's not all the way met you. You know, there's a there, there's uh, there's a certain amount of of of pretense and in authenticity that it takes to hold up the character. That's so fucking interest because I think about that with you and Martin. Martin, I'm sure that it was a time where everybody wanted you to be like my you know, but if that's not you, yeah, what,

it's not me all the time? Like people think that I'm on all the time when they see me, to think I'm all I'm always gonna be joking all that, But I'm probably a lot more shy in person than I am. You can't be shy, don't believe, believe not, believe it or not. I don't. I don't joke all the time. I don't talk all the time. I like to listen a lot, and uh, just take things in that,

you know, I'm not wanted to think. This dude is one of the most authentic people that I have ever met, you know, and you know, with his life experiences and with the thing, Martin is as close to one hundred percent authentic as anybody I've ever met. It's no bullshit than with this dude. You know, Thank you. I want you to explain the you talked about it on Crown

South to Ellie Wilson. I want you to talk about the Reggie scene and bad boys, right, because you know I'm a fall the five, right, but growing up, I'm like, if I have a dude I'm doing the same day, explain that to people who haven't heard and how that whole situation happened. So with Reggie, so he was he was a young actor, he had never done anything, so it was his first role. So Michael Bay was concerned that he wouldn't be able to perform the level of

discomfort that we needed for the scene. So Michael Bay was like, yo, don't don't talk to him. Talk to him, he said, I want y'all to be like, pretend like y'all are aren't argue and pretend like you're not getting on. I just want to get him, get him riled up, you know. So I go and I sit down with

the kids. So it's first meeting Well and Martin. So I'm sitting down, I'm talking, I'm talking, and then Martin comes up and uh he says, hey, will you know you're stepping on my lines a little bit in the scene. I need you to leave a little bit of room so I can, you know, get my line in there. And I was like, you need to get in where you fit in. And the kid, a little kid is sitting there. He's like, oh no. Martin was like, yo, why why are you acting like that? Man? I'm like,

why I'm acting? Like what why I'm acting like And me and Martin start arguing in front of the kid, and this kid is sitting there like. Michael Bay is watching them, watching him, and as soon as he sees how the kid is terrif out enough, he's like and then I go, what the fuck you want? I'm here to pick up. Yeah, kid was shook for real. We saw me, Yeah, we saw Yeah. We can't get out yeah again, we see them again. We can't, we can't.

We can't talk about it. But you will know, you will know, you will Why union in this one because you played such a big role in the second one. I just think we took a different story. It was like trying. There was no spot in the story like where we did work for, you know, for those characters to be in. But we're definitely that Boy's four because I see it on IDM whatever that should call it. What you said, this is the last one. Yeah, no, we We're gonna let the audience to side after people

see it. Like, you know, I love working with this dude, man, and it's like I'm at the point in my in my life where I just I don't even want to do nothing if I'm not gonna have fun, you know, And it's like I'll take half the money that it would be as long as you know, I can have fun. And you know, we come to let me ask you this, but we were wondering, did Cali try to get you on the soundtrack? Yeah, yeah, we were talking, you know, just the timing up, and I so wanted to try

to try to jump on there. We worked together. We had he annoying. He was annoying the out of callin is the best of the best man. Call was coming to set a month before it was time for his seed, ever to set, a month before it was time for his seedy. It's like, let me tell you, but that energy like you when you hit Miami, you know you got you got you gotta kiss the rings when you you know you hit Miami, you know you got to shout out Kalid. But he um, you know he was

coming down to set. He was uh, you know he was. He so loves the franchise. You know, he loved it. He wanted it to win, and he wanted to do everything that he could do, uh to help us till kids. You have to have a DJ Khalid level of annoyance. No, that's real. I call it, well, I call it, uh fearlessness and relentlessness. Yeah. Yeah, you gotta be fearless and relentless,

and Kalid is both of those. And and you know that that type of energy is the energy that cuts through you know that, you know you can't be quiet about it. And you got to lean on it at all times. The music questions, we're talking about music a little bit, Fresh Prince, Will Smith, who's the better rapper? Um, well, I think so. Somebody said. Somebody said, um, Will Smith was a whack rapper, but Fresh Prince it was dope. Somebody said that we're that somewhere. Yeah, hold on, let

me see. But in your personal you think, no, you know what, there was a there was in that same thing. There was a certain amount of rawness and unbridled creativity during the first part of my career, and then once I started winning, it did kind of narrow the avenues of what I wanted to do. It was more important to me to win than to be me, you know. And you know, so there was there was a There

was a certain amount. There was a certain amount. The Fresh Prince was wild and raw and um unapologetically you know himself. And then Will Smith got a little bit more polished, and um, why don't you line up a couple of number ones in a row? You get that the taste for blood in your mouth, and that that taste, um uh, sort of destroys the vastness of your creative mind. I remember hearing you on Radar podcast, and you said that it was a point where you didn't even want

to curse. Yeah, well, my grandmother, my grandmother for you in comedy? Does that work in comedy too? Like, as you get more famous, you can't be as raw you feel like as you're to because you're still doing comedy tours. Yeah, I know you got a lot of comments coming out with you, but how does that work in comedy? I don't know. I don't compromise my comedy. You know, I

never did in the past. Uh. You know, when I put out You So Crazy, they wanted me to water it down and give it an R rating, And I took an NC seventeen just so I could say what I wanted to say. And yeah, you know, so I don't like to compromise my comedy and I don't. I don't do it today. I just do what I want to do and have fun with it. Special difficult. What's the worst decision that both of you guys made in your career? Like, what's one thing you say, damn, I

shouldn't have did that. What's one thing you said that damn, I shouldn't have did that? Or what did you pass up or something that you regret I made the Wild Wild West and the Matrix. Yeah, what about you more? I didn't go with him on the last press junket and Bad for Bad Boys. He did it by himself. And now that I see what we on this press junk at all, that we got to do it and the fun we had, why did you go? Well? I

it was it's different. It's it's in the wild face when you was waving the gun on No, it was just a different time. And you know, they didn't want to fly me private. I wanted to go private. It was it's politics. So but but I've learned from that from now and I would do something different. Now are you still Are you still banned from now? I don't give a damn. I don't give it was something with the monologue back because right, yeah, I didn't know anything. No,

but I'm not banned from No. They have banned me from NBC at the time for a minute. Yeah, but then they realized and they realized, you know, the way it went down wasn't what they thought. And then they sent me apology letter. Warren little Field, I think that's the president of something and he sent me a letter and apologize and saying, welcome back to NBC and everything.

Did you say my dick you No? I just went on the air and read it on Jay Lennon saying, with comedy now, you know you see everybody so sensitive with everything? Yes, would you do a comedy special now? Because I'm thinking, like, like she said, the water glistening all over your body? I can see people having a problem with that. And you see Annie Murphy talking about his past comments and saying that he is apologetic now

about them and you. The question is, would you have a problem doing a comedy, especially doing what you want to do, not care about what you say? Would you curve your comedy? I probably would think about a lot more, you know what I'm saying out of my mouth, just because I have kids now and I care about how to affects them and uh but um, for the most part, I just want to give people what I'm feeling, you know, and and that's what I do. How your kids look

at you when you do it? Do they look at you as moret And the guy on comedy like, come on, dad, wasn't one of those things that you just dad? The same thing with you just dad, just dad? I'm just Dad. Dad, he's so silly. I don't be doing anything that. He's just silly dad. My kids don't know I'm hot. Like I've been trying to tell, Like he made an icon living. Yeah, it's like Jaden you know he made that. Man. When I first heard that, I was like, what that record

was crazy? And I was like, I find myself like I'm at breakfast with hey man, Yo, you think I can jump on that, you know. I was like, this is crazy, pointed if I want to jump orter. But yeah, it's like my kids. My kids, Yeah, they just they they think I'm silly and I can't get them to see I'm hot. I wanted to smile, bitch, my little dude. But my best life because I mean, if you look at the Graham, you are a person living in the the best life. No, I'm definitely living my best life. Man.

It's like that when I jumped out of that that helicopter, my whole I hit the next phase, uh you know of my life in a way that um this this last year has been the best year of my adult life. Jumped. I was. I thought the movie wasn't gonna happen. I said, damn it. Then he said he was swimming with shocks. Damn well I heard you won't say, well that is nothing your wife could do, Miss j D. Pickets. Fifth to break up the relationship? How did as a husband?

You know we we have attested um our commitment uh to the partnership. We've tested our commitment to our famis Emily. And you know there's a certain amount of of let's say, battery that you have to subject each other two in in order to know that you really down, you know, and you know it ain't not and I'm talking about

on the breakfast club. But whatever, your whatever, your next question is your next question, whatever your because no I can because I've been watching you. I know your ignorant patterns. You got a patterns you Yeah, you got to set up.

You do the set up, and then your eyes do this little thing and you sit back, you put that, you put an innocent face on, and you love one out and then you come with the one that you don't have that ain't none of your I just wondered, did you ever were you ever jealous of the love Jadahead for Tupac uh Oh fuck yeah, God, that dudelet like and you know, and that was in the that was in the early days. Yeah, that was in the

early days. And it was like, um, that's that was a big regret for me too, because I could never um, I could never open up to interact with with Poc, you know, and because we had a little bit of a thing, right because you know, um, you know, they grew up together and you know, they loved each other, but they never had that you know, they never had a sexual relationship, but they had come into that age

where now that was a possibility. And then Jada was with me, you know, so you know, Poc had a little thing on that, um, but she just loved him like he was the image of perfection. But she was with the fresh prince, you know. So it was like I just I never could like even we were in the room together a couple of times, I couldn't speak to him, you know, and you know he wasn't gonna speak to me or but I wasn't gonna speak to him. But comment, no, that's what Jada would say all the time.

She was like I'm telling you, y'all are so similar. You will you love him and I just never you know that that that was a huge regret of mine. I just didn't. I couldn't. I couldn't handle it. You know. I was just I was the soft rapper from Philly and he was bocked right. Nothing exactly exactly, but yeah, no, I was deeply, deeply um uh insecure um and just

I wasn't mad enough to handle that relationship. I go, I gotta go, guy, So we got a relationship stuff either one of y'all feel like y'all got something to proove. Um Now, No, I don't feel like I have anything to the pool, but I'm not finished. I felt like I got so much more to do because where they give you a lot of shit, like they talk about a cold streak you're having at the box office, and you know it was like one time you was larante

like does that stuff bother you? Like? You know what it's? Um, I have I transitioned from my material world journey to my inner journey, and not in a weird way, just in a way is I gotta be okay with me? I can't give a fuck what anybody thinks, and it's like, I don't even look at the box office anymore. I don't even want that in my mind, comparing myself to

what other people doing. And I had a brief moment there where I got stuck on the rock, you know, and he doing all these billion dollar movies, and I got stuck in and that that animal woke up again. But I was like, you know what it's like, Um, I realized, there's never enough. You'll never earn enough money, You'll if you stick yourself on sex, you'll never have enough sex, You'll never have enough of anything in the

material world. So I'm into my space now where I'm letting go of that and I just gotta be good with me. I gotta walk around happy and comfortable with me, no matter what the fuck nobody else think, you know. And That's where I'm at right now, kind of detoxing my addiction to numbers and wins in comparison. That's wow, because you're Will Smift and you're Martin Lawrence, Like, there's

No, Yeah, but I'm sure I could do one if I wanted to, with them and everything, but I don't want to just do one just to do do one. I want them to do one that's that's special, that that has some because I feel like you need to do a whole thing. I mean, you
