six years now and we've always sort of been waiting to be sued by eddie murphy for using
was that a good year was that it i believe that is it okay all right now that's probably the end
of the our careers basically because he's very litigious no you guys you've zoomed it up so much
no one no one knows it don't worry kenny the Jet Smith, two-time NBA champion,
Tar Heel, product of Queens Boulevard like Vinny Chase himself.
Man, you know all of this, man.
You're good.
You are Queens Boulevard.
You are Queens Boulevard.
Host of Inside the NBA, joining us today on Hollywood Handbook,
Kenny the Jetetsmith.
It is such a pleasure to have you.
Well, I'm glad to be here.
Appreciate you having me.
I'm moving out of the sun so I can get a better shade on me and trying to give you the best answers.
I'll try to give you the best answers that I can.
Kenny, you say you were moving out of the sun.
You did move your angle.
I noticed you conveniently moved it so we can see your Emmy in the background background oh really uh and and to that i would just like to say there's
actually two there's actually two in here right now but i just use them as back scratchers and
you know i don't really use them as oh wow you know a lot of times you know i get things in my
teeth oh you're flossing with it looks It looks very sharp. That looks incredibly dangerous.
Yes.
To do.
Well, when you have a couple, you get used to doing them.
Kenny, we want to talk about a lot of different things.
We want to talk about Jet Academy.
JetAcademyCamp.com.
The first online basketball camp.
Well, you know, I was sitting here and, you know, social distancing
and pandemic, and I'm like,
no camps.
I couldn't run my normal camp.
None of my kids' camps are being active.
I was like, why should everyone's
development stop because of a pandemic?
So I created the first online
virtual basketball camp
for kids all around the world.
And, but what differentiates it is live
where it's not a tape. It's live. You get to ask questions the same way they process information.
They can upload videos. We answer the questions on the videos and it's a live experience. It
works on any device. All you need is cellular service and or Wi-Fi, and it works. And it's JetAcademyCamp.com.
Again, JetAcademyCamp.com.
An hour and a half, Trey Young, Kimball Walker, Victor Olabit Depot,
Brittany Griner, WNBA MVP, Brianna Stewart.
We become your personal trainer for an hour and a half.
And you like to say, you said kids, but you like to say, of course,
that anyone can be a kid.
40 plus
podcast hosts
for example are allowed to
participate. Is that
correct? If you still
play anywhere, if you play
three on three, you play at
the fitness center,
you're going to get this workout because
you you used to going there and getting it now it's the same type of field that you get so it's
not like a oh there's a six-year-old and yeah but they're a six-year-old we have modified versions
of stuff you get from all ages for anyone but the parents are looking for stuff for their kids to do
more than anything else so you know i think it's going to lend more to that as well.
And some participants could probably take over
and if I'm participating, if I, for example, I could probably teach a clinic
on chest passes specifically, doing a really, really
hard chest pass. Participants are allowed to take over if they have the requisite
expertise. Is that right? I just want to say this i'm not with you every day but these two guys are
and they're letting you get away with stuff like this they're with you every day and they have not
said one word yeah and they're allowing you to say that you could be an expert in chest passing
and no one is competent other than me i i don't even know if that's right because they know if
they did say something,
I could basically take their head off with a chest pass.
Yeah.
I would not correct him on that
because I would be afraid that he would chest pass my head
straight off of my neck.
Can I ask you one question?
What is around your microphone?
Me?
So, yeah, it's a great question.
So, basically...
Wait, is your microphone scared of you giving it the COVID-19?
Is your microphone afraid?
My microphone has begun wearing a mask.
That's just a precaution.
If you read any of the science on this, I want to be healthy.
I want to be alive.
Why wouldn't my microphone want the same thing?
So yeah, I did provide my microphone with a mask.
And I think the results speak for themselves.
The microphone still lives.
So okay.
All right.
No problem.
Speaking of being alive, Kenny, will you be going to Orlando?
Well, you know, there's some talk about the studio show going
there for the conference finals,
but initially we will not. We'll be
either at home
here doing our show
or we'll be in
Atlanta.
A modified version of our studio,
but pretty much the same look.
I'm always six feet away from Charles and Shaq
anyway, mentally. So this is just physically being able to do it. I'm always six feet away from Charles and Shaq anyway, mentally.
So this is just physically being able to do it.
I could see a situation where they all say they're going to go,
and they're like, oh, yeah, we're going now.
We'll be in Orlando in like an hour.
We'll see you at the studio.
And then it's just you.
No, no, no.
I'd be the one saying that and not showing up.
And not showing up and not showing up yeah
kenny you are probably most famous for kenny's pictures a feature on inside the nba
where you and this sounds crazy as i'm even as i'm saying it it sounds impossible i'm bracing
myself for you to describe it because when i see it, I just about fall off my couch.
Where you run to the back of the studio to a big screen and you, I'm just going to say it, you go inside video footage of a basketball game.
You actually go inside the video.
Yes.
Does it hurt?
It does not hurt. It is exhausting, but it doesn't hurt. Yeah. Yes. Does it hurt? It does not hurt.
It is exhausting, but it doesn't hurt.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll tell you how we came up with it.
I'm sitting myself in chat.
We're talking about old movies.
We're talking about Poltergeist.
Poltergeist, yeah.
Where the guy goes into the television.
Sucked into the television screen, yep.
We were talking and he was like, man, you know, you. Where the guy goes into the television. Sucked into the television screen, yep.
We were talking and he was like, man, you know,
you go into the big board, you should be able to do that.
Yeah.
And I was like, you know what, I can.
And he's like, no, you can't.
He was joking.
But I have a production company, so I knew that there was a way to do it.
But I wanted to see how fast.
So then our director comes over, Steve Fiorello,
and he says oh
no i can make that happen kenny but it you know to get you to transport it would take you know
three days uh-huh because of this this and this he's i said no it won't yeah i said i could do
that in 45 seconds he's like get out of here he's like you cannot do that i said steve i know the
drill i know i have a production company.
I've seen it.
So I know how to make the shortcuts work.
So he said, okay, let's set it up and let's see if you do it.
I did it in one take in 45 seconds.
And he was like, we got it.
So a process that-
Normally that should take three days.
It should take about three days.
It takes about three days to do.
But for me, it took 45 seconds. Only because I knew the process.
And then I knew what to do and how to sell it.
And here I am.
I beat me up, Scotty.
I'm on Star Trek and I'm in Poltergeist.
And Poltergeist, of course, a famously cursed production.
Much of the cast has passed away under shocking circumstances.
I hope that Kenny's Pictures is not cursed in the same way that the movie Poltergeist.
Well, it's cursed in this way.
If you're not in Kenny's Pictures, your team will never win an NBA championship.
And the Kenny's Pictures curse is real.
It's real.
Every team that's won an NBA championship has been in Kenny's Pictures.
Wow.
team that's won an NBA championship has been in Kenny's picture.
Wow.
Speaking of pictures,
you sit beside
two of the most
Sean and I
were Hollywood guys.
You sit beside
two of the most illustrious
actors in history.
The star
Shaquille O'Neal,
the star shaquille o'neal the star of uh multiple b-rated movies grown-ups too he played officer fluzu the smurfs too the voice of smooth smurf
and an upcoming appearance in adam sandler's hubie Halloween. Role not disclosed yet.
But probably the lead.
Sir Charles.
Sir Charles, of course, appeared in episode five, season three of the TV series Suits.
Appeared in the Pina Colada song episode of the Goldbergs as a gym teacher.
This is like, these are heavy hitters.
You're sitting beside something like, I mean, thatmy's not for like acting acting no you know but we got to get you there kenny you've done i know you've
acted you did mysteries of laura correct i did mysteries of laura talk about mysteries of laura
for a second talk about this you did not share the screen with deborah i understand no i did not um mr reason larver was uh a great a fun
project because um a couple of friends were on the show and they asked they were like we want
you to be on and i got on then the other one that i've been on was just right the movie just right
common and queen latifah come on that's that's, that's no, there's no slouch in that.
That's yep.
That's no joke.
No joke.
Sort of a,
a movie about love and basketball,
but not the,
not the movie love and basketball.
And the,
uh,
and the,
and the sports show that was on a BET for a long time.
I was on that a couple of times.
I've been on,
uh,
the odd couple.
And was Debra messing in the scene with you on the odd couple?
This was the, this was the new version of The Odd Couple, but no, I was not.
I was with Felix, and I was with Oscar mainly because he was trying to get me to give him some betting tips.
Ah.
And I wouldn't give them to him.
So I've had my share.
But you're saying I should girth myself up in in terms of the acting world
i'm saying we watch this show we see you at the desk we go these two guys on the sides are the
ones in all the freaking movies those are the decorated actors when meanwhile we got mr damn
charisma jumping into the screen can go into any show he wants at any time takes him 45 seconds something's not adding up here kenny
someone said it was funny today someone asked me who would be the first in an acting role
to win an emmy between the three of us between the oscar round and i would say i said me
charles cannot he would be in he would be in a i said charles would be in a great comedic movie,
but you would never consider it for an Oscar.
Yeah.
Limited range.
Charles can only be Charles.
He would do Jumanji.
You know what I mean?
He'd do a Jumanji movie.
I said Shaq would do a blockbuster like Men in Black,
but you're not going to consider that oscar work
men in check they're not giving vin diesel the oscar but you could put me in the notebook man
i could make you cry man i'm telling you yeah i make you cry let's do that let's do that now
you you can use your kenny's pictures powers to put yourself in any movie this is what we're
going to do at this moment kevin is going to play
a clip and all you have to do kenny is respond to the dialogue in the clip and we will we're you
know what is this called in theater school this is what we're doing again acting improv we're doing
improv okay and we're doing it we're of course self-taught we uh did not go to theater school
uh but yeah i'm ready just do a little improv right now.
Let's go.
Kevin, Kevin, play the clip.
He said let's go.
Kevin, this is the song all over again.
This is American Psycho.
This is the scene.
New card.
What do you think?
Whoa.
Very nice.
Look at that.
Picked them up from the printers yesterday.
Good coloring.
That's bone.
And the lettering is something called Cillian Braille.
It's very cool, Bateman, but that's nothing.
Look at this.
That is really nice.
Eggshell with Romalian type.
What do you think?
Okay, so Kenny...
What's my next line?
I want to apologize.
Yeah, I'd love to hear what your line is.
I'm ready.
Let me go.
Let me go.
I'm ready.
Don't let me lose a moment.
Okay.
He's in it.
Whoa, he's deep in it.
Okay, so give him the next line, and then he can do that line reading, Kevin.
No, I don't want to do that line.
I'm going to do my own line.
I'm in problem.
Let him do his own.
Do it.
Your own business card.
So you guys, you want me to pull out my card?
When you pull out your card, you've already lost the deal.
Oh, my God.
He just took him to school.
If they don't know who you are, you've lost the deal.
Oh, wow.
And that's better than what's in the movie.
They should have said, if you don't, oh, you have a business card,
that means that people don't know who you are.
There you go.
Wow.
Wow.
It's a version of, if you got to ask, you can't afford it, right?
I mean, that's what we're dealing with here.
Exactly.
Have you ever seen LeBron James pull out his business card?
On the court.
Imagine if you were playing basketball and during the game, he showed his business card on the court imagine like if you were playing
basketball and like during the game he showed his business card he doesn't have to because
everyone knows who he is because Magic Johnson walks into a business meeting and has to leave
a business card yeah but picture this though Kenny LeBron dunks in someone's face they go to block it
he bodies them they they're they fall on their ass
and slide into the photographers and then he reaches into his shorts pulls out a business
card and hands it to them but he goes hey great doing business with you call me anytime you want
to do this again good that's part of a great movie hey we need to write a movie really you
the four of us do the four of us i said just right we should just write a sports comedy movie
honestly Kevin
this is the crew
we have the idea
I do want to try to cut Kevin out of this process
please
the choice the movie he chose
is sick it's a disgusting
movie it is not
appropriate
for these circumstances at all I do want to try again well it's a murder
porno and i'm sure it's not associated with jet academy or anything like that we would no problem
so that's my kids don't watch this is for the parents all right let's see this is for
the 40 plus camp a murder porno oh my gosh well I don't know what else to call it, Kenny.
Okay.
All right, Kevin, next clip, please.
Yes.
He's screen sharing.
I'm nervous.
I don't know what to say, really.
Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives.
All comes down to today.
Okay, take it away.
Not enough.
Am I going to be him?
Or am I going to be one of the players?
You can be whoever you want to be.
Maybe you're one of the players.
You can be one of the players.
You can be Dennis Quaid if you want,
who's a very believable football player.
I'll finish what he was saying.
Okay.
Because guys, moments in life come few and far.
You can be remembered, or you can be forgotten,
or you can make someone be forgotten.
Let's not let them be remembered tonight.
Let's go!
let's not let them be remembered tonight.
Let's go.
And that is verbatim the exact word that Al Pacino says in the movie.
Moments in life are few and far between.
You can be remembered or you can be forgotten or you can let someone be forgotten
and let's not let them be remembered tonight.
And let's go.
I'm surprised you remember what I said verbatimatim that's pretty good that's in the movie i'm reading from the script that's i'm just reading
from the script that's like that's the verbatim no it is not dialogue it's probably just entered
your did you ever see it no that's that's not the verbatim did you ever see the movie i have but i
have seen it maybe don't be modest it's it's verbatim what they say see the movie i have but i've seen it maybe don't be modest it's it's
verbatim what they say in the movie get out of here it's not verbatim get out of here it's not
like a couple words here the spirit of it is is very similar and what and it's i have not seen
that movie since it came out it is also kind it's something of a murder porno as well well yes in its own way
wait wait time out i'm still like i'm nervous what are the actual words for real let's play
play it through because i don't but i don't you it might have changed it might have changed this
is the dvd version all right don't worry all right like get out of here you have to be up here oh man i tell you guys are good we need to write a
movie man telling you we got it minus kevin all four kevin get the papers like what are you you're
hearing this you're not getting let's draw you want to write a movie drop the contract you know
what i mean let's figure it out kevin how you know like so easy split you know oh yeah sure 25 25 really generous so it's an easy
split man like i mean i'm gonna get it sold you guys are just gonna be over here right
absolutely no yeah it's not getting made on our on our shoulder oh man the guy's got a
guy's got a towel around a microphone i'm concerned for my microphone.
I'm sorry.
I care about my microphone.
I love my microphone.
That's a crime now
in this country.
All right.
What's next, man?
I love this.
Okay.
This is Shrek 2.
Oh, I know this well.
Cheeks out of my face
and at stakes.
Well, you don't exactly smell
like a basket of roses.
Well, one of these has got to help.
I was just concocting this very plan.
Already our minds are becoming one.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, now.
Listen, if we need an expert on licking ourselves, we'll give you a call.
See, I'm just reminding this is the man who's going to sue me.
And so now you play a clip, Kevin, of Eddie Murphy when this is the man who is going to sue me. And so now you play a clip, Kevin, of Eddie Murphy
when this is the man who is going to end my career.
I suppose we don't have the rights to this either, do we?
No, you don't.
We don't have the rights to any of these?
Definitely not Eddie.
The other stuff were good.
So I'll skip to this part.
You got Mike Myers' voice and Antonio Banderas' voice.
Yeah.
But you got the rights to those,
but you didn't get the rights to Eddie Murphy.
So we're going to be sued twice.
Should we keep playing or do a different movie?
This clip, it's the potions factory
from Shrek 2. Well, the only thing is,
I'm more of a Shrek 1 person.
So Shrek 2 didn't move me.
So I would have read the script.
We told you that. We told you that
before the show that Kenny was a Shrek 1 guy.
Shrek 2 felt like a money grab. It felt like a money grab shrek two shrek one was like i'm making i'm making something here
shrek two was like oh let's get this money let's get this money shrek one is like these are artists
this is for the love of the art yeah and shrek two was like money grab Shrek 2 was about the green alright

speak the language and the question that i always get people stop me and they say like
hey i like i i trust you i know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you
really use and care about.
But there's one language that I'm trying to learn, and that's body language.
Can Babbel teach me body language?
Yes.

Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages handcrafted by

weeks babbles designed by real people for real conversations and that includes body-based
conversations what does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around
at the door and they take their little index finger
and they kind of like draw it towards them they're pulling it what does that mean does
their finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull
down the spider down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need and have needed something like babble to figure
out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks like an
emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street
they're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're
standing in the middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a
high five almost and they're really aggressively like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to
drive get out of the car yes or just do it out the window as I'm going. That's what I've been doing.
Dangerous.

monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills. You can see all your subscriptions in
one place. And if I see something I don't want, I can cancel it with a tap. I never have to get

scourge of our modern life and you
never realize what you're subscribing to or that you're still being charged i know that i was about
19 dresses into receiving each one of the 27 dresses from the movie 27 dresses before i found
out how much it was costing yes that they intended to send me,
by the way, this will shock you,
54 dresses if I did not cancel.
And I, you know, I think also by like dress 14, 15,
I think it starts to become clear.
Like these aren't the dresses.
Oh no, they were not from the movie.
They didn't resemble anything from the movie they were
not they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear yeah and one of them was a
dressing yeah one of them was it was it was a vinaigrette it was a raspberry vinaigrette
it was a french raspberry vinaigrette dressing oh they'll even try to get you a refund

20 all you have to do is take a picture of your bill and rocket money takes care of the rest
they have over 5 million users and have helped save its members an average of 720 a year with
over 500 million dollars in canceled subscriptions and
that was i mean just to be fully transparent that 500 million was most of that was the the dresses
well yeah i mean you're talking about hollywood memorabilia you're talking about like ornate
gowns you know in some cases and so that was uh yeah that was costing me a lot a lot a lot
stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket
money.com slash the boys that's rocket money.com slash the boys rocket money.com slash the boys
hollywood handbook okay uh this is from a different sequel, Now You See Me 2.
Oh, God.
I've been told I have some control issues.
I've learned that it's really, really hard to control people.
So I'm going to try to control something that's a lot easier than people.
I'm going to try to control the weather.
Yeah, wait.
It'd be a little difficult to make it rain, right?
That would be something that only God can do, right?
I'm going to do something that God can't do.
I'm not just going to make it clear up.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to make it.
Take it away, Kenny.
Kevin.
I'm going to make it what?
Just not a great.
It's not a great setup.
I mean, I'd be someone in the let me be someone in
the in the uh right before he says his line in the crowd yeah yeah can you believe this fake trick
this hollywood thing where they got you could see the whole fire hose right on top of the building
oh go back okay what's up and then he says he's right and then he does his whole setup
come on man just totally take him out at the knees smart now you see me too another one the first
movie you're watching them and be like god these are artists in love with their art this is craft
and then now you and they were doing real magic and then i think it now you see me too some of
those were camera tricks.
Oh, without question.
No, I definitely... The rain even looked fake in the thing.
It didn't even look real.
And raindrops don't fall that way.
I don't even know if Jesse J. Atlas was wet in that scene.
It was honestly so phony to me
that it took me out of the movie entirely.
Now You See Me won.
I was completely absorbed the entire time.
Okay.
Favorite movie of all time for you guys?
Probably Now You See Me won.
Really?
Of all time?
The first one.
What about you?
The second one lost me.
What about you, Hayes?
I think the art is always evolving evolving so probably a movie that hasn't
been made yet that's not an answer my favorite movie is yet to be produced that's interesting
that's really cool my my favorite team has not played a game yet that's true for me that's true
for me as well wow that's my favorite movie of all time yes sir an officer and a gentleman we can buy that so our company just got bought
by sirius and so basically we have uh more money than god at this point uh so if you want to buy
the rights we can get officer and a gentleman remake it we do whatever you want to it let's go

our theme song did you hear that before no i did not know that he's one of the names listed in the
theme song we can get him back we get lou favorite tv shows of all time honeymooners odd couple
sanford incident so what a dream for you the new odd couple Couple. The one you were in. The old one.
That's why I was in this one.
Because a good friend, Eric Tannenbaum, he produced it.
And he and I are good friends.
And actually produced some things together.
So I'm telling you, we can get this movie made, guys, if we start writing.
I'm telling you.
I got the connections.
You've got the money.
Well, let's go. I had meeting with eric a few years ago
uh didn't go well i don't think i impressed him we gotta wrap up
kenny it has been such a pleasure having you on hollywood handbook jet academy so kevin sent us
earlier uh jetacademy.com which is a domain that is for sale.
We actually own it,
but it's jetacademycamp.com.
You want your kids to get to camp.
If you want your kids to be instructed by us,
pros and all-stars and NBA champions,
or men or women like you,
if you're a big kid,
if you're still playing rec ball anywhere,
anytime,
you need this workout, come get it. It's very in-depth it's very fun you it'll be very enlightening so think of it as a
two-hour tv show an hour and a half tv show think of it as that that's what it is we're hollywood
bound we should get emmys jet academy camp.com bye Bye. All right. All right,
guys.
Thanks.
Thank you,
Kenny.
That was awesome.
Really fun.
We appreciate it.
Okay.
So he's gone.
I don't see him.
I got,
so I,
I am sorry that I told him that we had to wrap up.
No,
you know what?
Honestly,
I should have said something.
Cause when you were saying that,
I was like,
Hey,
we,
you know,
we obviously owe our fans more time. We owe Kevin more time with Kenny.
And we had him for another 90 minutes. We had a lot more time. I just, I got scared.
Look, I'll say it. I got really scared. I think that is very, I think that's really brave to
admit. And being brave, brave actually it's not never feeling
scared yeah being brave is feeling scared to death pulling the plug on the show wrapping up
and then talking to your friend afterwards when it's safe that's being brave so thank you for
saying that you were scared okay i was scared as hell people get scared and i was scared that he
wouldn't like me anymore it's obvious he really scared and i was scared that he wouldn't like
me anymore it's obvious he really liked me during the show and he didn't like me and he made fun of
me and i think that that was actually really helpful for you and i was happy to do that for
my friend but when he started to get very personal yeah when he was asking me what my favorite movie was and getting extremely personal and sharing things about himself i got scared as hell i got really scared too and was probably
if you had not called it when you called it going to start crying and maybe going to
call my parents to come pick me up to just come pick me up i just need to go home i just need to be home i can't be
here i when he asked me what my favorite movie was and i said it was a movie that hadn't been
made yet that's because i couldn't think of any movie anymore me neither the only movie that came
into my head is something called movie man which i don't think is i don't think that's a movie but
but but then you answered truthfully right because it's a movie that hasn't even been made yet movie man so that so that's true and you said movie man and then for him to
question that and challenge you i didn't actually say movie man but that is what i was that is the
only movie that i i was in my head i was thinking okay what's a movie all right movie man it's not
it's not my favorite movie i don't think it is a movie. Right. And you said something that hasn't been made.
Yeah.
So you were honest. And when he challenged you on that and said, that's not an answer,
man, I got pissed and I got scared at how mad I was. And I was this close to calling my parents
and saying, hey, just pick me up. Their cereals are weird here and like there's some noise and my sleeping bag
is wet i don't know why and like i just need you to pick me up that's a nice thing probably about
jet academy camp.com because you get eat your own cereal you can bring any cereal and we should say
this because they did have more talking points for us on jet academy uh camp.com which is like
yeah you could bring your own cereal to the practice
when you're getting that work in.
You can run over
and grab a bite of any cereal
you want from your home,
which basically
no other camp provides.
They sent you the stuff
about jetacademycamp.com
just before we recorded.
They were like,
Kevin, did you get the stuff
about jetacademycamp.com?
And Kevin's like,
no. I almost hung up there. I got so scared because I looked at my inbox. they were like kevin did you get the stuff about jet academy camp.com and kevin's like no i almost
hung up there i got so scared because i looked at my inbox it was just a photo i drew and there
was no emails from them and i almost hung up on you guys a photo you drew yeah it was us hanging
out it's called picnic with the boys and i Boys I'm sorry for you Kevin
because I know you really wanted to tell Kenny
that you finished Lost
yeah I was so mad
he was talking about TV too
my favorite thing
he's asked your favorite TV show
and it would have been very easy for me to say
Kevin just finished Lost
Kevin please summarize the series Lost
opening shot
Jack opens his eyes they dilate a little and what was a little bit
sad was saeed's when they show everyone in the church it's saeed's uh like newer girlfriend and
not um the one from the flashbacks and i was like so that you're cutting from the very first there
wasn't there wasn't nad, but there was the sister.
But she had a great new hairstyle, so you have to be...
And this is what I was going to tell Kenny about.
The sister's new hairstyle.
Well, you had said before we even started recording,
of like, guys, create some space for me,
because if Kenny mentions TV, I'm going to explain the smoke monster.
You said clear the lane, lane specifically for me to drive and
throw down land my plane of knowledge what so what's the smoke monster and again i'm really
sorry i would be so great to have kenny here he was so fun this episode since he left sucks i'm
pissed i'm really bored and i'm looking sucks and i'm looking to call my
parents and ask them to pick me up from this episode because ever since kenny left i'm just
not having fun did you get the other like the stuff about the camp is there other stuff we
should say kevin should we start our own camp no this is always kevin's idea you're in a rut you're in a rut it's gotten stale kevin he actually was kind
of saying to me like you kind of froze up early on i know and so uh kenny and i just kept talking
and he was like where'd that guy go i thought he was really cool i thought he was really nice
wow oh god that's so awesome to hear and it really makes me sad that you thought he didn't
like you because he thought you were like he thought you were awesome oh wow i didn't get
that impression like he was sort of clowning on me and like kind of doubling back to like
insult my mic setup and everything and i guess i felt like he thought he could do that but it's
very obvious like a dork yeahork. He's asking if you're
true. Yeah, your mic has a
washcloth wrapped around it. That's true.
It's like,
okay, can we be professional about this?
And also, you don't know
what people's lives
and what their journey is. You have no idea
what people are. Everyone is climbing
their own mountain and
you don't know what's happening for them.
And if you see a man with a washcloth
wrapped around his microphone,
you don't have notion one of what he's going through
and the battle he's fighting.
So keep that in mind to everyone out there.
Or if their ideas suck.
It's not that they suck it's just the same
shit same fucking idea it's just a rut that's a nice rut suck yeah what you've done with the rut
is amazing you have like you've made it just very like cozy yeah like a hatch if you have to be in
a rut which apparently you do um i would say this is one of the better ones to be in.
How do I get out of my rut?
Never mind.
Yeah, what we're going to talk about you this whole time?
We just had a thing with Kenny Smith.
We just recorded with Kenny the Jet Smith.
And this is how you ruin flagrant.
I know what this is about.
This is like everything that's going on over at Stitcher.
This is like, this is your double that's going on over at stitcher this is like this is your double
tapping flagrant ones our nba patreon and saying oh well you're getting now you're doing the
basketball guy in the main show right when when he said uh officer and a gentleman was his favorite
movie kevin i do think you should cut out what you said right after this
just i because kenny's cool and he was our guest and it was nice of him to do the show and
i do think it was kind of messed up that you said hope she sees this bro
i didn't understand that i mean i'm laughing because like I was so confused you have to cut that Kevin
that was so weird
what were you talking about
I don't know I'm in a rut
he was upset and it just
that is not the rut that was like
I really wish Kevin would crawl back into the rut
because you have never said that before
about anything else
yeah I was searching around for the rut
in response to Kennyny the jetsmith
saying his favorite movie is officer and a gentleman that's the first time you say hope
she sees this bro come on kevin that's juvenile it's obtuse it's just completely out of line
what is not your role what does that mean why did you even say it i guess i should start
there i was hoping that that she would see this bro yes come on that's not an answer
now i sound like that that's all we know who's she the movie she's the movie i want the movie to see his beautiful response
that the move that the movie loves oh that he loves the movie okay it didn't feel it didn't
feel like your intentions were that pure the way you said it sort of out of the side of your mouth
almost like you didn't mean to say it out loud just it just went i hope she sees this bro you have to delete it we got to take it out
don't let this be a they forgot to delete it.com type situation for us what's up where's the um
my uh the the stitcher what stitcher you're, welcome to Sirius. Probably today, if you haven't gotten it already.
Today, it's 6.16 p.m.
It's 9.16 on the East Coast.
Who's on the East Coast?
They may be headquartered there.
I believe one Mr. Howard P. Stern is actually one of the most significant shareholders of the company.
Collab of the Century is going to be you three. Can you
imagine? And actually, that's
something I would pitch, but I wouldn't because
I'm not in a rut anymore.
Are there any shows that Kenny was like, no,
I won't do those? Oh, yeah.
Please. Yeah?
Which ones? Maybe Don't.
You pitched him Maybe Don't?
Kevin. No wonder
you said to hope she sees this, bro. You're Kevin. No wonder you said, hope she sees this, bro.
You're pissed.
No wonder you're so salty, man.
Move on.
Now it all makes sense.
Grow up.
Kenny Smith doesn't want to do maybe don't.
Come on.
He was going to join the lowercase c comedy theater with me and you song.
Is that from the show?
That's a segment we have.
What's the segment? The lowercase segment we have. What's the segment?
The Lower KC Comedy Theater.
Lower KC?
I thought you said Louis KC.
I thought it was a play on Louis CK.
Is the T in theater capitalized?
Of course, because we respect the theater.
That's a different segment.
Uppercase T, Lowercase c, theater.com.
This can't become Maybe Don't segments.
This cannot.
This show cannot become Maybe Don't.
On the Kenny Smith episode,
we cannot literally like four minutes
out of the afterglow of Kenny Smith
gracing us with his presence,
being fun, energetic, funny, and cool,
devolve into talking about maybe don't segments.
So charming.
What a cool guy.
Yeah.
That ruled.
Get him.
See if you will come back right now.
Get it back.
Kevin,
ask,
ask his team if he'll come back right now.
I think they blocked me.
On what?
Reddit.
You got him off Reddit?
You messaged them on Reddit again,
just like you did with Scott Aukervid to get this job? You do all your correspondence on Reddit still?
R-Team Kenny.
Your main email is your Redditdit messages kevin no sweetie no kevin you can't
communicate with kenny smith's team via reddit we cannot reddit dm kenny smith's team that can't be
how we do it i'd rather discuss maybe don't segments
than have you in the Reddit DMs of Kenny Smith's team.
Kevin.
That worked?
That's how we got him?
That's the only way he would do it.
Is if you send his team a Reddit message.
that really surprises me kevin but that's the only that really surprises me that that's the only way that he was willing to do it
that that's their preferred method of correspondence as well is shocking with you i go okay he's a
weird guy you know but for kenny and his entire team which we met two of them to insist
that they only want to talk over reddit
that's very surprising to me but i guess good job thank you did kenny do off book
just their ads he did off books ads yeah he sang the ads he did the stings for comedy
bang bang he went
that's the
take them to
break
the bumpers
that guy must be getting tired
I could see why they would need to bring
Kenny Smith to do those stings
that guy's lips
must be hurting from so many ads.
You could hear that guy get it.
Now it's like every time it's like,
okay,
here we go.
You got this.
We can't be talking about the comedy bang bang.
You got this.
We can't.
We can't. Are they Kenny Smith episode?
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Did he say he would come back?
What'd he say?
What's he saying?
What does team say?
What's Reddit saying now?
Did you get a freaking red envelope they responded loading message that okay that is they're that's a great stall i've used that i've used that sometimes when i don't know how to
respond to something or when i've got an email where i'm getting called out on something
particularly egregious i've done i will my my first thing I do is I write back loading message and like an ellipses.
And that usually buys me like a day or two where then when they go to respond to me and say,
hey, I didn't get your message. I see that you responded to me. And then I go like,
hey, did you respond to my message?
Did you read it?
Because I'm getting a loading message thing back from you.
Yeah.
And if you have a paper due for school, you can say, hey, professor, turning in my paper now.
Here it is.
And then below that, you type school paper downloading.
Below that, you type error downloaded.
Error file corrupt and then you say in the top part
okay going to sleep now
enjoy the paper
obviously it's night time so I
it's very normal for me to be going to sleep
right after I hit send
and I'm a heavy sleeper PS
do you guys want to know the
other movie selections I had
picked for Kenny?
I can't believe American Psycho
in that scene was... He did a great
job, by the way.
He crushed it.
That scene offered him absolutely nothing to do.
The next one,
Any Given Sunday, sort of.
He did a great job with that as well he said the
exact thing that was in the script it turned out and i didn't want to like freak him out it seemed
like he was getting really he got scared and so i did back off the fact that he had said the exact
but he did do it he did but i did not want to see him scared especially after we learned about
the poltergeist curse that had infected kenny's pictures shrek 2 really pissed
him off yep that scene was like not interesting at all the potions factory scene no one remembers
he flew off the handle it was a bunch of different characters talking there was nothing to respond to
there was nothing really interesting to watch um he lost his mind uh we had to calm him down after that. Now You See Me 2, he was game for,
but after the incredible start,
you basically did everything you could
and you put in extraordinary work to ruin
what could have been an incredible episode.
Okay, here's the other ones I had.
Chappy, which is hard because the scene
is very action-based j daniel atlas is that what it was yeah you said jesse j atlas well that's
good too and i thought he might be conflating the character with the actor. The actor's name is Jesse.
Well, conflating him with Jesse
Eisenberg, the actor, and Juicy J.
And Juicy J.
Jesse J, the singer,
and Juicy J, the rapper.
But then, J. Daniel
Atlas, the character's actual name, does
sneak in there at the end of
Jesse J. Atlas.
Atlas got in there as well.
Because I saw Kenny looking confused.
He's like, Jesse J. Atlas, okay?
Moving on.
No, he was very kind to not dig in on that
and it was J. Daniel Atlas.
Hey, swing and a miss from the Clem dog.
It happens to everybody.
You're in a rut.
Bitch, shut the fuck up.
Goodbye.
