But I will say that every time there's like, "Oh, pick, pick Tariq's best." Every time there's like Alex, Paige, Urr, Toya, they're always like, "Don't forget on your cover tip." - That's cold. - You see that too, right? - I do sometimes, but I don't look so much at that stuff. I think that's, they're so crazy. (upbeat music) - Last ones of the airport buying breakfast. - Buy breakfast. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Day one, day one. (upbeat music) - Just so everyone knows, we just took 25 minutes to try and put an earbud on Sydney. It's the longest I've ever had to set up an episode. Are you okay? - I'm great. - I've had time here. - I don't know what to tell you. - I've never, so like do you not use headphones? - I do, like your phones, I guess. - Your buds? - Yeah, but they fit. I don't use the ones with them. - There's no way you use those. - No, no, no. What is that little rubbery thing at that? I don't use those ones. I use other ones. - Why is your purse so like close to you? Like, do you think we're gonna rob you here? - Yeah. - She's like in her seat. - Like, it's like so close to her. - Trying to get out of here. (laughing) Here, where did, where should I put it, Tariq? - There I go. - Okay. - I'll put it right next to my bag. - Don't put it on the ground, though. - Yeah, women don't like that shit. - Well, isn't it a bad sign? - It's a bad luck. - Yeah, it's a bad luck. - It brings your mind out. - I had no clue until like, I did that shit and I literally wasn't gonna kill for doing it. - Michael, I had no clue until he bought a girl a Birkin and then put it on the ground. (laughing) - I know, I got it. - I knew that would happen. - Okay. - All right, we got, we got Michael. Who do we have in here today? Who do we have the pleasure of speaking to? - Obviously, this was one of your. - We have the fire, nine love interests, so I feel like you should be introducing her. (laughing) - Well, we have the, the very precious, beautiful Sydney one. - Oh. - We have Sydney one bushing the big one over here. We got Sydney in here. She said she's trying to get out of here. - Yeah, quick, gotta go. - Why, what happened? - You said you don't trust us or what? - No, guys, I told you I was scared. - Why didn't you ask me to come on here? I was like, are you guys sure? (laughing) - All right. - Why? - I don't know. - We all had so much fun. - She literally loves us though. - I do, I do, I do love you guys. I do, I do. I would just haven't seen you in a while. - Yeah, that's fair. - Yeah. - We all had so much fun we were on set. - We did. - I was like, I'm curious why you were scared. But how's life, what's been going on? - Nothing, nothing, all good things. Like creatively, a lot of content, acting. I think since the show I did, some really fun stuff. Like, grays and the movie coming out this year too. - No, you're gonna get a drop all the credits now. We're gonna get there. - You got to save it. - There, yeah. - You just wanted to go get Coachella? - Yes, yeah, yeah. It was fun. Coachella, you've been, you've gone? - Yeah. - You've been to Coachella. It had like a weird energy in the air this year, actually. Yeah, I don't know, it was just odd. I think everybody was so excited to see Justin Bieber. - Who got he beeps? - Right, of course, yeah. Of course, of course. - Of course. - Did he perform in like his boxers or some shit? - No, no, no. - That was a couple. That was like a month before at an award show. He performed on his boxers at like the VMAs or something. - Oh, love that. - No, he just basically went out into the computer and did it like a YouTube session where he pulled up his old songs. It was fire though. - And it was, I mean, when that was happening, everyone's phone was out, everyone was screaming 'cause it was all of his old music, you know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And we love that. So that was 100% the best part in general, Coachella. But I think for me and my sister, there just wasn't a lot of people we really wanted to see this year. - Last year. - That's fair. - I felt the opposite. I felt like last year was like, there's a line up kind of mid, like this year. It was a thug. - Okay, yes, yes. - With Central C and 60 Red. - Okay, yeah. - I thought I had so much FOMO this year, more than I've ever had. - But Meg was last year at T-Pay, there's so many people. - T-Pay, yeah, Meg. - You don't care? - About Meg in the stallion? - Yeah. - Seeing her, no. - Me? - You think I'm gonna die her up for Meg this stallion? - I don't know. - No, I don't shake it. I'm not twerking at Coachella. - Like look, you could have folded me out. - I don't know what you do. - Mike, have you ever been to a festival like that? - No, I actually haven't. - There was Cardi B, little Wayne. I mean, they were up with all, but there's a lot of people last year, I feel. - Yeah, Cardi B, I know she's fire, but I wouldn't get fired up for that Wayne of course. - Okay, okay. - Fuck it, I'll twerk next year. - Yeah, all right. That's fair. I don't know, I just had all my friends were there this year. I felt like I stopped not going. - Yeah, why didn't you go? - 'Cause you know what, I was just being like a prick 'cause I was like, you know what was funny? It's a funny story. I was at Coachella a couple of years ago. And like a company who was giving me free passes, artist passes, everything VIP, paid for everything. And then I'm in, I'm listening to us, and I see one of my other friends who's an actor. And she's like, oh, I just gotta do a post. And I'm like, oh, like, got you to come here. She's like, oh, they paid me 60 grand. I'm like, you got paid 60 grand a come here. So this year, I was like, I'm not going unless I'm getting paid. But I didn't know that really nobody was getting paid this year 'cause everyone wanted to go, you know? - Yeah, yeah. - So the brands were like, - Ah, 60 bands that go to Coachella. - Is that kinda nuts? - I'm like, what? - I just thought they were just giving them passes for, I didn't know they were paying people to go to Coachella. - Yes, yes. I know a bunch of people here. - 60 bands, I'm gonna get an M3. I come back to Coachella. - Six bands to go to Coachella is kinda crazy. - All right, let's take a break from the episode and let's talk about our friends from Ridge, Wally.

Price picks, we love you, baby. Back to the episode. - See, I think this is actually a good segue into what you, 'cause I love what you do. You're awesome at content, you do all that. It's a good segue into like, it's just kind of crazy how people are getting paid to go do things. As opposed to like, it's weird 'cause actors don't really get those opportunities. I mean, some of them do, but it's more creators getting that opportunity. And in my head, I'm like, why would you just not pay the actors to go to these things? But you're paying these guys who just like make content, which I guess they're gonna make content for it. Maybe the actors are lazy. - Oh, I don't know that, but it's for creators, it's work. You know what I mean? For me, my sister and I went with Olten method this year. Last year we went with Lemmy. And so, I mean, we were making like, three videos, multiple stories. So we were like working it, you know what I mean? It wasn't just like, wow, Agotella kind of vibe. So, I guess it just depends, 'cause if brands look at actors, like, yes, there's a following there probably. But it's different. with.
You know in what way? I think it's well I think these days It's more intertwined because more actors are going to social media and doing things on social media But before it was kind of like you weren't getting I don't know Certain people unless you know they were already had some kind of because I feel like a lot of actors are mysterious Like you they don't want to be on social media and it's changing now So yeah, I feel like you can't even do that anymore. No, I why would you want to so much? You know what I mean unless you're you know really really really like you know up there You don't need to I guess. Yeah, this was a conversation. We have a lot. Oh really? I said like we just had it last week with Josh back. We were just like yeah Like because Josh is one of the early ones. He was on vine blew up like 20 million a gram now like He he does a lot of content creation works with Delbrick and all these guys So I had questions for him to tell me please But so you were doing content before you were on power correct? Yes, but it was but for me It was just for fun like I didn't do it. I wasn't making money from it I had like a regular job and I just had fun on on social media and So so when I was when I after power was done That's when I actually started doing it like full-time along with acting too interesting, but you had a following I did I did but I wasn't I mean I didn't have like an agency or anything. I or management team or anything like that Yeah, yeah, I mean you go viral so much of just like it was fun Yeah, you're sister doing but she's on my full-view page like every three days Just ratty yourself up. She's not on my full-view page that much. Like what do you I? Do follow her it is true. I guess that like me. Yeah, but I'm in the comments sometimes are you two now? Yeah, I do see you in there sometimes no What I'll do is when city is on live I'll text her things and then like I'll text really Look at her sister and be like you think I ignore that It's so ridiculous. Yeah So when you booked power you were working a regular job. Yeah, where were you working? I was working at a marketing agency as a content creator for them for like a bunch of different brands. Okay So you were so I was a creative I was still in there you were still You're working on home depot. You like put the job you like oh No, no, but I was there for maybe like she like she worked out of ritzy. What really? No, I Yeah, you like who we're going to reach maybe I don't know I've never I've never over there But no, I was doing that and then before I was working in like HR Wow, we're a Columbia. Yeah Columbia sports. Okay. Yeah, and did you do anything crazy happen? No, not really It was during COVID. So we were dealing with a lot of like COVID cases. Oh, so HR it no one was in office doing anything weird together No Yeah, it's not what HR's yeah, yeah, that's you go to but I was remote so nobody was like yeah physically coming People were like checks like we're asking each other through the computer and you're there like okay, we got no no no no no no that just like oh, I have COVID and Yeah, tell them yeah, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. So you were working HR and then but you had done a couple movies because when you first booked power We were talking one day and we had a couple mutual Comedian friends that you had worked with before yes, yes, you were currently you were being an actor at the same time Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I it was it was I like hopped on to this movie for like a couple days Don't ask me what it was called. I do not recall But there's those were that's why I met a few of your friends and they're so funny that one guy can reverse it hilarious That was like a couple months before I even auditioned for power Yeah, that movie that we did it. Yeah, and then I did like a small role in a Disney plus movie What was that called it was a Christmas movie right? No, no, no, no, no It was about this little boy and his like polar bear friend who were like detectives And I was yeah, it was cute. It was super fun. Um, I I was a victim someone stole my purse. So I ran I screamed. I said some stuff nice. Yeah, it was good And so all right, so power was a self-tape mm-hmm And do you remember what scene it was? Yes, obviously. This is this is on your coming from right here Yeah, so for the fans we have to get into it a little bit obviously We're not doing a ton of power talk as much as not as much as we used to but we're gonna get into it with Sydney So it was a self-tape it was yeah, and do you remember what scene it was? Yes, it was two scenes. Um, I My mom my real mom was my reader. She's amazing And it was the one when I was in the airport hanger like in the car I was like oh my nails or whatever and then the one where Michael, please And then uh that scene is just so much to go on. He just worried about You were like going down 70 handspin and she's just like Oh, like in the airport, honestly It was that one and it was the one um where I was we were I finally was at the house with her and we were like in an argument I was like you need to tell me what's going on. It was those two. Okay, and do you remember like what were your initial instincts when the When the tape came in or did you have like an opinion had you seen power? Oh, of course. I had seen power Yeah, I hadn't seen I didn't follow the spin-off so but I knew who you guys were because I felt like you guys were all over social media type shit I didn't um there was no like I don't remember thinking anything specific I did it within like a couple of days and then that was that and then did how long did it take for you to hear maybe like two weeks Yeah, did you feel like when you did the tape? You're like oh, I think I'm gonna book this or now I didn't think it was the end of the year it was like December So I wasn't thinking anything about but about like the holidays um, so I did it Sent it off. I was pin for I think I told you this before I was pin for I think a sitcom. So very opposite Very opposite of power. I'm at the same time. So then they told me I was pin for this and I was like oh nice Just yeah, and was the sitcom a series regular? Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you remember what it was for and did it do well or not? I didn't watch it But it was Frazier like the reboot of Frazier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I never I didn't follow up. I didn't watch it So I'm sure it was good though Yeah, such a PR answer. She's like I'm sure everyone had a great time. I think I'm sure. I don't know. I didn't watch it Yeah, yeah, um, okay, so you get the call that you booked it. Oh, what are you? Crying excited. You just like oh, it's another job like what was your right? No, I think I was probably freaking out a little bit In a good way in a good way, of course, I was very excited. I mean she knew she was about to be working with the board Of course, that was why she's like she didn't even care about the show. She's like oh my god Of course, of course. No, I was really excited just to you know work It was my first recurring on a show. So I was I was really excited and to be in New York for yeah, I mean, I didn't know I think I was slated for like six to seven episodes I we ended up doing eight because you know it died. So yeah spoiler alert for the bit my bad hell Some people might not know that oh Yeah, it's been four years once they put it by now So okay, so did we were doing zoom table reads then yes We never did in person table reads after the pandemic happened. Oh crazy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I think we I know we never did again, but so you hop on the table read yeah, and what do you remember anything like do you have any No, my heart was beating so fast. I think anytime I do a table read. I'm just so nervous They booked it. I did whatever. I'm just like I'm like, you know, so I was just focused on doing what I was supposed to do But then obviously looking at everybody and coming on to a show that's been you know together for like four years at that point Like it I was just interested to see like the dynamic of everybody. Yeah. Yeah, it's funny because like there There are sees like some people because Shane I think was already dead at that point But there were some people that Michael been on it for like 10 years prior to that so like yeah It's funny to see like the people who come and go There's a lot of people in the original power that come and go and then go on those and then come from here and there So yeah, it always is an interesting and wasn't there people in the first episode that Like ended up we're on last season, but then died within the first time so there's something like that that you guys so right I think there was a ghost episode where like ghost came back. Was that true? Was that what happened? Because I think Jerry didn't Jerry do an episode of ghost I don't eat my whole life. I'm the wrong person. It's you were the one on it. No, it's so funny because we'll Like I think that's what happened the fans would be like how do you not know? Remember they remember everything But we're just like I don't I don't really remember I think what you're thinking of is when There's a scene in ghost where Jerry comes back where um some did it a lot of it was back a bunch of dead Characters come back and haunt him as like a ghost. Was that potentially it? I don't know that I know they did that to um Monet Yeah, I remember that happened Lorenzo and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe that was it. I don't know. Yeah, yeah So you hop in the tape where you do feel like you do a good job or you excited or you know shit I was just like um did it. No, I think it went well But you're always in your own mind. Yeah, I think and then and then we turn it off and that was and that was that. Yeah What was your first scene when you got to set? It was with it was the one um on the the airplane. Oh, that was your first. Yeah, remember that was like that was day one I was supposed to shoot first But like this whatever got mixed up and so we ended up staying like eight hours like the whole day So I was hanging out with you guys in the green room and you guys. Oh, I do remember that. Yeah. I was trolling her down You guys were what what happened? What were we? You guys were talking about the entire time. What was it? It was like you're crazy Adventures in Shreveport and like wherever you were doing the last few months. I was like who all of these guys Like who are you guys? It was good though. It sucks. You missed out on that. Sorry about that. It sucks. You would have had a ball But I think oh it was Houston. It was Houston. Okay. Okay. Okay. It wasn't happened yet But yeah, at that time. Yeah, it was Yeah, there was a wild one. Yeah, you're showing videos and you're like this is what we do and I was like Okay, yeah So funny though my first look we had to like get
- Did you like-- - Yeah, I accolade. - No, comfortable. - Yeah, I'm like, get you an accolade. - I made it to what's gonna be going on the whole scene, you know? - It's so funny. - Couldn't start off like, we were just like boring and shit. 'Cause like, you know, it would happen later on as well. - That was like, what the fuck is wrong with you guys? - That's enough. - If we start off like, oh, Rip showing you how laced we are, then it's like, I got it. - Of course. - This is one way. - Yeah, it's funny 'cause like, people will like, go to other shows, like, imagine if you booked Frazier, and you're on set, I don't even know who booked it, but it's just like, like, a bunch of like, actoriac, whatever, you know, I don't know who it is, but you come to power. It's 50 Cent and Strip Cubs, baby. That's what you're getting, what I mean. - It is so different. It's so cool though, to see like the relationships in power, like, outside of it, you know what I mean? Like, you guys with 50 on stage and like, touring, I'm like, woo, I don't know anybody else is doing that. - Ever. - So, no, truly. I think you guys may have started something, I don't know. You wonder what's interesting is like, which, no knock on him, and I think I've said this before. Drake produces Euphoria. Wise and Jacob already getting brought out, you know what I mean? - I didn't know that. - Yeah, me and Michael walked dirt out at a Drake show. I didn't see, I didn't see Alexa Demi there. - Okay, I'm very little different. - I didn't see Zindiah coming out with anyone. All right, the boys. - No, but she was at Coachella though. Would Labyrinth, like, like, a couple years ago? - He brought up. - Yeah, you didn't see that? - No. - Did you go back to Coachella, did you see Sabrina Carpenter brought out Terry Cruz and. - No, no, I didn't see that. I've seen her before, so I was an at her set. - Why would you not go to that? - No, I was, like, in the back doing some other stuff, like talking and. - Oh, so no Megan Astaliant, but Sabrina Carpenter for you. - Love Megan. No, I love both of them. - No, I'm sorry, he's not gonna make it. - Oh. - Oh, yeah, yeah, right. - I weirdly, I like Sabrina Carpenter. - She's great. - So you're not talking to Megan Astaliant, but you listen to Sabrina Carpenter. - Whoa, Sabrina, Megan Astaliant's getting the boys to call it up. You know what I'm saying, that's all I'm kidding. I don't know the full story. But no, I do like Sabrina Carpenter. She brought out Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell played like a. - On week two? - Or week one. - No, she didn't. - I'm telling you, she brought out Terry Cruz and Will Ferrell. They played like the soundstage pretend managers. They were like sitting up wires and like, "I don't get paid enough for this." - Wow. - She did like a full thing like that. - I sure missed that. Dang, I know she left in a car, right? - Yeah. - I'm out on Madonna week two, I knew that. - Yeah. - Yeah, okay. - That's interesting. Anyways, back to what we were saying, so. But yeah, I don't see Drake bringing out anyone for his set. - That's crazy, I don't know. - That's all I'm saying. Maybe the boys started something. So, do you remember as this season was going on, are you enjoying being on set? Was there anything that you didn't like or like, "I want to know it all?" - I had a really good time shooting the show, honestly. Whenever I'm back in New York, like I obviously, 'cause that's where we shot, like I remember all those and how I felt and you guys, it was just such a night, like a fun cast to be a part of. Like, everybody that I shot with, just general like on set, the crew especially too, was just everyone, I think because you'd been together for so long at this point. Everyone was friends with everybody. It was really good, I really don't have anything bad to say about it. - Damn it. - Sorry, wish I did, but no, I don't. - I didn't get it or say something bad. - No, it was good. - The food? What did you think of the food? - Great, it was good, it was a really fun time. I didn't, the only thing I wish that I, I don't know, would have had more time with everybody. Like, there was just people that I think obviously, Michael and Caroline, I worked with the most. So we had more fun, I think, then. - Did you know your character was dying before you got there? - No, no, no, no. But, so during, like episode four or five, we had a rehearsal for one of our intimate scenes and our showrunner, like I ran into me and he was doing such a great job. I'm loving it, like keep it up. I was like, cool, so I went to go talk to him afterwards. And I was like, am I gonna die? You just tell me, am I dying? And he was like, you know, people die on this show. I'm like, I was like, all righty, thank you. But it just made sense to me, especially once I saw Noma killed Monae. I was like, yeah, right, right, right, right. They're not letting me go. - But realistically, in my opinion, I think that the way that Courtney writes, 'cause Courtney didn't write that season, did she? I don't know if she had any. She probably would have, in my opinion, would have kept you. - We had like all new writers for us, yeah. - Yeah, oh. - Like, 'cause Courtney would always want to kill someone and then people like them or whatever and then she would not kill them. But I just don't think that sounds so great, it does. But I don't think your character, there was no reaction from the fans. You got killed before there was a reaction. So I think if you had made it to the next season, and obviously we didn't know it was ending, it would have been a way longer thing. But sometimes, same thing with Faraz, the Zion character, that character should have gone two, three seasons. That was an iconic villain in power, but he was gone in three, four episodes, you know? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. - Sometimes it's how it goes, you know? Like, I don't know, I wish some things went different, of course, but like, it is what it is, you know? - Yeah. - It was good though, it was fun, so. Do you have a favorite scene that you had shot before the dead scene, before you get to that? - Hmm, a favorite scene. I don't know, I liked everything that I did with Caroline, it was just all really fun. It was just like a mother-daughter relationship, but I think some of the stuff I did with Michael, like the one when we were in the car at the end, before I got shot. And then, I think it was right after we slept together for maybe the second time, and we had like a heart to heart, like that was sweet too. - It's fucking guy. - Like getting dressed, I was like, got to go. - It was good. - Before Michael had shot me, I'm just like, brother, like, brain is getting fucked too. - Nobody. - But it was funny as hell though, 'cause Rika's like, he's trying to like, have a heart to heart, she's like, she's not hearing anything. - I'm sure. - Yeah, I do what I had to do on my head, bro. - Oh, right, yeah. - You were only hoping I went in to what? - Just for fun, like that, he was just like, a college hookup to me. That's why I think when people were like, "Oh, I was a love interest." - Sorry, to Rika, I'm like, was I though? Like I think I was just in and out, like I don't know. - Yeah, because you only hooked up with her because of it. - Yeah, I remember that. - You are my mom, right? But I thought it was real. - But I will say that every time there's like, "Oh, pick, pick, Tariq's best." Every time there's like Alex, Paige, or Toya, they're always like, don't forget on your coming tip. - I do sometimes, but I don't look so much at that stuff, but that's, they're so crazy. - I think because of this podcast, like I help and do a lot of the social media, so the algorithm on the podcast is so, I see so much power stuff. I'm like, so I see everything, 'cause I'm like, that's why, you know, everyone just keeps asking, have Sidney on, have Sidney on, I'm like, okay, fine. - That's crazy, I didn't see any of that. So when you messaged me, I was like, what do you, I think he thought that I was one of the, I made a fake account to say that. - Oh yeah, I did send that to her. - Do you, you send me two comments, every comment's like, bring Sidney with Winbush on. There's one account, I forgot the name of it, every podcast, it's like, I'm like, Sidney, we get it, you wanna come on the podcast. - That's crazy. - That's definitely a great thing. - No, I'm sure, yeah, yeah, you found me out, but that's so funny. - The channel was like, at not Sidney's English, it's like, okay, like, we get it, you wanna go on. - That's funny. - Aw, that's sweet, okay, cool. - Okay, so do you remember your debt scene? - Oh, yeah, shooting it. - Yeah. - And I remember reading it for the first time, and I was like, yeah, that's really sad. - No, no, not really, like, sad for, like, in what way? - Were you like, fuck, I wish, like, 'cause sometimes people have a hard time, like, being like, yeah, like, letting a character go. Like, sometimes people were like, obviously, it was only six, seven episodes, but you're like, this is a little too much, but I feel like I died with the character. That's too far, but like, I get it. How like, you know, sometimes it actually makes you sad. - For sure. - Yeah, in that way, yeah, a little sad, but I don't know, I think I just looked at the story as a whole. And I was like, it's, you know, it's, it's your guys' story to Michael's story, his life. And I think Anja was brought on to be the one thing that Noma cared about, you know what I mean. So I knew someone was gonna, I was gonna be in there and be out, you know. - Yeah. - So. - Do you still talk to Caroline a lot? - Not a lot, but I do talk to her every now and then. I love Caroline. - She's the best. - Like, she was genuinely, like, one of the best parts of working on power. She's just obviously so talented, but she was really like a mom. I think to everybody actually, like, so, yeah. - Oh, her love interest was Woody that season. - Yes, yeah, that was crazy. Oh, it was crazy. - Bro, it's, it gets so funny to like, when you're getting like, towards later in the seasons, like we're just like, okay, these two people should hug us. It's like so nice. - Do you guys, did you guys ever go in the right house? - Her thoughts mean, oh. - Yeah, for sure, no, you guys. - Oh, I don't even break into it. Do we go in the right house room? Oh, he will. - I was a joke, guys, come on, pause, pause. - Oh, yeah, fit on. (laughing) - No, like, did you guys, how involved were you guys in the writers room at all? Like, 'cause I feel like sometimes when serious regulars say you can be, you, you to see like, they ask you what you want your character to go. Like, were you guys at all? - Mike. That season, not as much as like previous seasons, 'cause we had a new show around here, so it was like a little bit different in that aspect. Also, we had like a lot of new, I think we definitely had like a whole new writers too, no. So, it wasn't really like, I don't know, I guess because we didn't really have much time with them. - Okay. - And also, we didn't really know it was the last season, so we were kind of just trying to like feel it. I would let them, you know, do their thing and see what they had, you know, to bring to the show. So, I wasn't really like, I wasn't really on top and I'm like, I mean, obviously like certain seasons, and like, you know, starting parts of the season, we would. you know, give our input, but as far as like, you know, going into the writers room, you know, that other shit, like now we wasn't, I was, well, me, I wasn't really doing that because like I said, it was a new team and I just wanted, you know, wanted to see what they were doing and see what they was cooking up, but prior seasons, like yeah, we would be, we would talk to the writers a lot, you know, you know, we'll share what we had, what we thought about everything, but that season now. - Yeah, I felt like season one, two, and three. I was still very new, so like, I went to the writers room, they would show me what was happening, you see my note cards on the thing and see my whole arc for the season, but I felt like season four, I was the most involved 'cause of me for that, from, of any of the seasons, because I got super close with Bren and obviously, so every time an episode would come in, we would be like, okay, like I cared so much while I was like, how do we make this show better? So I would go up to the writer's room and like, with Bren and with the director, and they would change stuff and be like, this, this, so I was like, was trying to at least be like, oh, this would be cool, this would be cool. Like, little stuff, like going through the wall, like adding into like, better to a better scene. There were some story lines that did wind up getting changed, but like, I felt like that, that was the season, I was most involved 'cause Bren and was producing director, and that's when I got the courses with him. But yeah, I feel like it's more of just like, being a veteran thing, like season one and two, you can't be like, well, I think there's like a shut the fuck up. But like, once the fans start liking you and season three and four and whatever and they see that you can add something to it, then they're like, okay, yeah, we can, yeah. We can let him have a little bit more, more say. - Was there like ever anything that you guys were like, - So this is our podcast, where do I see this? - I know, it wasn't ever like, anything that you guys thought was just so crazy, you guys were like, guys, what are we doing? Or that maybe you suggested that actually did make it in, like, anything? - I'm trying to think, Michael, do you think, what was the most exciting thing here? - That's giving ya. - It was that musically short, bro. - The musically short. - I was like, bro, what? - Oh, yeah. - But not like, that whole, like, you know, selling the drugs to like, you know, through their parties and like, I was cool with that, but like, I don't know, like, the, like, the whole performances and all that shit, I was like, - Wait, why? - I don't know, like, we kind of, I mean, I wasn't mad at it, but it was just like, - I get where you mean like, because what he's trying to say, and tell me if I'm wrong, Michael, I'm sorry to cut you off, but like, is you look at the first episode of Power, how gritty and dark, and then you were to look at that episode of like, of like a musical going on, it's like, it kind of lost its way in that sense on that storyline. In my opinion, Michael, you could tell me if I'm wrong. - Yeah, that's, yeah, that's basically what I was saying, but like, also, like, at the same time, like, being that we were, like, selling, selling through the, you know, through the, the, the group or whatever. Like, I guess they had to kind of show the group, you know, doing shit, you know, and actually being a, you know, a music group. - Yeah. - So, I guess that was like, you know, that kind of made sense in that aspect, but like, yeah, like he said, like, we kind of, I felt personally like, we was just kind of losing our way in that grittiness and that, like, you know, that wrongness. Yeah, I was really doing so. But it's hard, it's hard when you're on season 11, 10, 11 of a show, it's just like, we, me and Brenner would always be like, cards to the moon, like, fast and furious. - Yeah. - It's just like, the first three fast and furious are like, unbelievable, then all of a sudden, I even saw the scene today where like, Vin Diesel's jumping over a bridge and saving someone. It's just like, I love it. - So absurd. - But like, if you can't go backwards in stakes, right? - For sure. - You have to keep going. So, you're at season 11, the stakes need to be higher, and it needs to get a little more ridiculous, or the show ends, you know what I mean, for sure. - And it's tough 'cause every single episode, the stakes are going up and up. So it's like, by the time you're on season 11, it's like damn, how could we rise these stakes in, in which way could we rise these stakes? So I guess, you know, it was just rising the stakes, but it's hard, like, it's almost as if you're an NFL team, and you're in the middle of the season, and you're making a playoff run. How do I say that in NBA terms? No, and the coach gets fired. Like, I'm not saying anyone got fired, but like, the coach leaves, and then all of a sudden, a new coach comes in the middle of the season, you're just like, oh, like, this is so new, like, that's kind of what happened with Brett, like, Courtney went to go do her show at Netflix, and then Brett came in, and then it's like, it's just having a different creative person in there, especially with writing and how people's brains move differently, and he brought a new writer. So it's kind of hard to like be cohesive. I mean, I think we did a pretty great job of it. - I think so, but it's never gonna be seamless, right? Like, you're having different visions and viewpoints and people have different visions for stuff. That's just kind of how it goes. But did you meet Courtney? - No. - Did you meet Courtney? - No. - Oh my God. - No, never. Was she at the premiere? - I don't remember. Everything melts together at this point, do you? - I don't think Courtney was at the premiere. - No. - Yeah. - I don't think so. - Wow, that's crazy. - It went by so fast, honestly. No, like shooting in general. And then, I mean, it was seven months, but it felt like it was zoomed in by. - I were gonna take a quick break from the episode and talk to you all about my friends at GLD. - So they just sent me my brand new bracelet, and this is bussing, it is crazy. I mean, look, look at this, the girls are loving it. - And, you know, as you can see, I got the same thing.

Did we go out crazy in New York when you're filming or not? - No, not at all. I think everyone was doing their own thing. - They were all at that point, yeah. - Not everyone was just not hanging out. Like, I'd hang out with Caroline sometimes. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, season four people had, I mean, me and Michael were going outside, but like, the guys had girlfriends. The girls had boyfriends.

Yeah, it's like you're not watching it from that lens So I get that it's hard to remember how many seasons did they shoot and I think it was a seven season show But I remember this is so funny They probably don't even know this and I know this is like they did season two a and two b Which they did like an extra ten episodes that season to get more before renegotiation because the show was being so successful Oh, interesting. I think they were talking about on the podcast, but so it was like seven But could have probably been eight seasons. You just did a movie with Tyler Perry. How was it? Was it fun? It was really fun.

Obviously, we're like, do you want to cut this? And then like, no, actually, it doesn't seem that bad. Okay. So now the jokes in the comments are, Gianni always says he's going to cut stuff. He's not. I asked the guests. I'm like, is this okay? Everyone gets approval. I just need everyone to know that. Oh, because you leave it in. You saying, I mean, yeah, we'll cut that.
