Boss lady got work to do.

I thought I was doing something.
98
I'm like, I'm in a video with Kevin Hart.
99
Look at this.
100
Wow, look at my head.
101
You know, you don't know you're getting older until you see stuff like that.
102
You're like, yeah.
103
So you think your head grew?
104
You know what it is?
105
I can see an amazing amount of youth in that video there.
106
You know?
107
Energy.
108
There's a lot of energy there.
109
Older you get, you just get a little tired.
110
You are.
111
You always seem like full of energy.
112
Don't he always seem full of energy, y'all?
113
No, it's still there.
114
It's still there, but I could fall asleep right now.
115
I could definitely, I could fall asleep right now.
116
Yeah?
117
You stop talking to me?
118
Absolutely.
119
I'm at that age where a nap is wanted at any time.
120
I will doze off right here and wake up mid-sentence.
121
You know, I fell asleep on stage.
122
You fell asleep on stage?
123
I fell asleep performing on stage in, I was in Sydney.
124
I was in Australia and you know, the flight was crazy, long flight and for some reason,
125
I booked the show the night that we, like, the landed.
126
So we landed early and I never really slept.
127
We go do the show and there was a moment in between jokes where I'm like, man, but you know, that's life.
128
That's what happens.
129
And I take a beat and I literally doze.
130
And I remember dozing off and I woke up and I was like, I hope they didn't see that.
131
I hope they didn't see that.
132
I just kept going.
133
I just kept going.
134
I will fall asleep at the drop of a dime.
135
Listen, well, I bet you didn't go to sleep on that Eagles game.
136
No. Because they won their Super Bowl.
137
Yes.
138
Now we hype.
139
Oh, oh, there it goes.
140
Now we hype.
141
We woke them up, y'all.
142
You want energy.
143
OK.
144
You want energy, you want to talk about the Eagles, you'll get whatever type of energy you want.
145
Yes.
146
Yes.
147
You know I bought some eagles.
148
What?
149
I bought eagles.
150
I got two bald eagles.
151
Is that how you celebrate it?
152
Did you buy it before they won?
153
Well, I bought an eagle the first year that we went to the Super Bowl.
154
I named that eagle Jaylen.
155
OK, that's Jaylen.
156
And then I went and bought another eagle and named that one Saquon.
157
There they go, there go my pets right there.
158
Yep.
159
Now keep in mind that these are endangered species.
160
So I can't get
161
that close to them after a certain hour cause they get a little crazy and they mistake me for rodents.
162
Stop it.
163
Because I'm small.
164
You think they could pick you up?
165
Oh, 1000% they could pick me up, 1000%.
166
And that's why you know I don't play with them that much.
167
But during the times of the football season we do stuff like this to celebrate.
168
See Saquon getting crazy.
169
He getting crazy in the back.
170
Yeah.
171
See, Kwine's got a little attitude, so we keep him contained.
172
How do you keep him contained?
173
Well, you pretty much just got to keep him in the space where it's just theirs.
174
Right?
175
They own a certain portion of my house.
176
I don't go in that.
177
I don't go in their zone.
178
I don't go in their zone until it's game time.
179
OK.
180
Yeah, it's just called being the best fan that you can possibly be.
181
OK.
182
Yeah.
183
Clearly, you're committed.
184
I'm committed.
185
E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles.
186
Fly, Eagles.
187
Come on.
188
That woke him up.
189
Fly, Eagles.
190
Fly.
191
Fly.
192
Huh?
193
Fly.
194
I'm gonna fly away with you.
195
Ah, even fly.
196
Until they pick me up.
197
Until they...
198
Don't let them do that.
199
We need our Kevin.
200
Now tell me about this Usher concert.
201
You got to be a part of the concert.
202
You came out on the stage and the show.
203
I did.
204
That's my guy, man.
205
Usher had a phenomenal run in Vegas.
206
Of course, to the world's knowledge, Usher decided to go on tour.
207
And Usher going on tour, he said he was going to LA.
208
By the way, look at that.
209
That's you.
210
Look at that.
211
That ain't even Usher.
212
Yeah, that's me.
213
Look at that.
214
That's me right there, rolling.
215
Uh-oh, you took your stage.
216
Roll shirt off.
217
Yeah.
218
Yeah.
219
Did you plan to do that?
220
Or it just hit you in the moment?
221
Yeah, that was my moment.
222
I told him, I said, hey man, if you're gonna be in LA, let me come by.
223
He said, what you wanna do?
224
I said, let me just, you know.
225
I told him, I said, I just wanna come and shout out to the crowd.
226
You know, I ain't gonna do too much or nothing.
227
He said, all right.
228
I said, just like, which way can I go up?
229
And he told me like a very simple way, but I met with his like production team.
230
So they showed me like the entrance that he comes in, how he comes in with the microphone and I have fog and everything.
231
So the crowd thought that it was Usher.
232
It didn't look like Usher.
233
I thought I saw Usher too.
234
Yeah.
235
You didn't leave him nothing to do after that.
236
Well, listen.
237
Look, I don't want to say it, but comedy chose me.
238
I chose singing.
239
I could have.
240
Oh, you did?
241
I could have went down this path.
242
Oh, OK.
243
I could have been a singer.
244
You know, comedy said, no, we want you here.
245
I wanted to be there.
246
That was a moment for me to show the world what they could have had.
247
Where I had the most fun is I started to sing the song.
248
OK.
249
So Usher, I'll go, It's 7 o'clock.
250
There you go.
251
And then the crowd started singing.
252
Oh.
253
Oh, they think I'm really about to sing.
254
I don't have the song in my bag.
255
And then that shit came out and stopped me.
256
But it was a great moment.
257
It was fun.
258
Those are the things that make touring special.
259
Yes.
260
Yes.
261
You stay on the roll.
262
Like, for real.
263
I just saw you at the NBA All-Star Game.
264
Yes.
265
Yes.
266
What in the world?
267
OK.
268
And then my favorite part was you and Shaq standing.
269
We can't even see who in the photo.
270
Well, that's how I take pictures.
271
That's how I take pictures with tall people.
272
So I have a rule, right?
273
Yeah.
274
Oh my god.
275
Yeah.
276
Anybody taller than me, when you take a photo, your head is off.
277
If you aren't, yeah.
278
Yeah.
279
That's me and Steph right there.
280
Oh, so you know who you're in the picture with?
281
I know who they are.
282
If the people don't see the picture, that's not my business.
283
OK.
284
You can see me.
285
You can clearly see where I'm at.
286
But it's just a rule.
287
I'm not dealing with tall people, OK?
288
If you want to come around me and you expect me to look up and do all this stuff, I'm not inconveniencing myself or my world.
289
So when you come into my domain, it is what it is.
290
OK.
291
Your head is off.
292
Yeah.
293
Yeah, see, that's a stupid picture.
294
See, I don't know.
295
How you feel about this?
296
I don't know who released this picture, but it doesn't have my approval.
297
It should have cut his head off.
298
His head should have been cut off.
299
Now, see this?
300
I look weird in this picture.
301
You can't do that.
302
If you cut his head off, I look cool.
303
They're like, who is that?
304
Nobody cares when they don't see their head.
305
But now you're looking at this, and it just makes me look weird.
306
I look like one of his legs.
307
I don't like this.
308
Yeah, I don't like this.
309
I'm going to get this taken off the internet.
310
Oh, so we should probably remove that.
311
Yeah, I got power like that.
312
I'll get it moved.
313
Yes, you do.
314
I got it.
315
I'll handle that.
316
Listen, don't use it on us too hard now.
317
I got one more thing.
318
Drewski was just here, and he said you was disappointed in him for his performance at the Celebrity Game.
319
Why was you so disappointed?
320
Drewski's performance at the All-Star Celebrity Game might have been in the top two worst things I've ever seen.
321
Uh-oh.
322
You know, you know, I've become real close with Drewski and Kai, who were the feature faces of the Celebrity Game.
323
And I told him, man, I said, look, this is a great platform.
324
You go, you can be funny, you can be personal, but you got to actually know how to play the game too.
325
It has to be a balance of fun and actual play.
326
They didn't tell me that they couldn't play the game at all.
327
Like, neither one of them are good at basketball at all.
328
So that was problematic for me.
329
I mean, when I played in the celebrity game, I'm 45 now.
330
In my younger years, I played the game at a high level.
331
You do know that I'm a four-time celebrity game MVP.
332
Yeah, you do.
333
You guys, you know that.
334
Yes!
335
I mean, I'm in the Hall of Fame.
336
I'm in the Hall of Fame for Celebrity Game MVPs.
337
I'm actually the only one that have a four-time MVP status.
338
Yeah.
339
And I'm not saying that to brag or to put myself above anybody else, but there's nobody else in that category.
340
And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
341
He said it.
342
Yeah.
343
He said it.
344
And if you really wanna know how good I was, go and watch Drewski and Kai and see the gap of separation and talent.
345
You understand what I'm saying?
346
Yeah.
347
Now, you're currently on tour with your comedy act, Acting My Age.
348
Yes.
349
Yes.
350
Still on tour.
351
Yes.
352
Why you name it that?
353
Where did the name come from?
354
Because it's fitting.
355
It's where I am in life.
356
I think that there's a moment
357
that we're having where people are running away from what I feel the true understanding should be about old age.
358
Like, everybody's trying to get younger.
359
Everybody's trying to turn back the hand of time.
360
But, you know, I feel like we should uplift and amplify the idea of old age.
361
Old age is, I think we should, you know?
362
I like that.
363
Getting older is a representation of life lived, wisdom, experience.
364
And I think without those things, you don't really have the win in life.
365
So it's a luxury to get older, to make it to 50, 60.
366
My kids are showing me where I'm at.
367
Well, how so?
368
Well, I can't keep up no more.
369
My son, my son is, I want to say my son is a bonafide track star.
370
Oh.
371
And you know, there's a moment that you have as a parent, where you feel like you feel like you still can do what your mind is saying.
372
But your mind, your mind and your body are on two different pages.
373
So what my mind is saying, my body has no idea that it's about to happen.
374
So I told my son, I was like, look, man, I know you're doing all this running, but don't think your dad still can't do what I do.
375
Right.
376
I still can do it.
377
If you want to get down, we can get down.
378
He's like, Dad, you don't want to race me.
379
I said, we can go.
380
We can go now.
381
We was on a beach.
382
When I say this boy left me, when I say, in my mind, I was out, I had it, I was ready.
383
My daughter was like, OK, guys, on my go.
384
On your mark, get set.
385
And when she said go, my son was, I mean, like a lightning bolt.
386
I didn't even move.
387
I just looked up.
388
He was at the damn finish line.
389
And I'm like, OK, well, we'll wrestle then.
390
Let's wrestle.
391
Oh, you changed it?
392
Yeah, I changed it.
393
And then I felt he was a little stronger.
394
I was like, he done got a little strong.
395
And I started threatening him.
396
I was like, boy, let me tell you something.
397
I'm still your father.
398
Don't grab my neck.
399
He had put me in a chokehold.
400
I don't know if you ever been choked out by your kid.
401
Uh-uh.
402
Never got him.
403
I got a little lightheaded when he did it.
404
I was like, I think my son can get me at this point.
405
You start threatening him.
406
I start grabbing weapons around the house.
407
I'm no longer in that space of physicality that I used to be.
408
And it's funny to me.
409
It's just funny to see your body changing and your mind changing.
410
So this set is about drawing attention to that on a major level.
411
I love how you're accepting that.
412
You have to.
413
You can't run away from it.
414
Yes, that's so good.
415
You can't run away from it.
416
I don't wear jeans anymore.
417
You don't?
418
Now, why you don't wear jeans no more?
419
I don't wear jeans because I'm getting older.
420
It's all pants, all slacks.
421
Slacks?
422
Slack.
423
And that's for a certain age.
424
I mean, I'm over 40.
425
I feel like a good pant is necessary.
426
OK.
427
Jeans are not the same.
428
Jeans hurt and they're not comfortable.
429
They're not comfortable.
430
I need a comfortable slack.
431
I need something that I can move in and something that's soft when I'm doing this right here.
432
I don't like how jeans feel on my knees.
433
They hurt my knees.
434
I don't like it.
435
And they hurt my waist.
436
Like, when you sit down, I don't like how jeans dig in my waist.
437
Right.
438
Yeah.
439
I don't like that.
440
All slacks.
441
Soft waistband.
442
Now, what age should we be when we start wearing the slacks?
443
I mean, for me, everything changed when I got 40.
444
I'm 45 now, I'm 46.
445
So it changes.
446
At 50, I'm going all sweatpants.
447
I'm not even going slacks.
448
Just sweatpants.
449
Yeah, yeah.
450
Well, he look good, though.
451
Don't he look good, child?
452
Yeah, yeah, I'm holding on.
453
He looking good.
454
So let's talk about your new animated series.
455
Yes.
456
Lil' Kev, how did you come up with that?
457
I mean, listen, this is a passion project.
458
This is one of those things that have been forever in the making
459
and having the opportunity of course to bring my childhood to life through animation it was always the goal
460
but it was like how do we do it properly
461
because you want to be able to tell the story correctly you want it to be a little edgy uh
462
and you want it to be fitting
463
so where we found a nice little um a nice little opportunity to like turn the tables in and storytelling, when you talk about the hood,
464
it's always told from one perspective, right?
465
One POV of just like, oh man, the hood is so tough.
466
It's so crazy.
467
I wanted to showcase it in a different light.
468
Although the environment may not be fitting to most, it's a comfortable setting if that's where you come from.
469
And there's also an environment of like a village of protection.
470
Everybody in the hood serves a valuable purpose.
471
And it's a loving purpose.
472
And there's a supportive energy attached to several different households.
473
So when I was coming up, my mom, of course, was my mom, but my mom's work schedule didn't allow her to be there during the day.
474
So I had a neighbor that I would sit with.
475
I had my grandma that had to come, and I would go and be with for a certain portion.
476
And after that, I would go to a friend's house from 3 to 6, and then my mom would come get me.
477
But there was a village of connectivity that served to my upbringing.
478
And being able to bring that to life, showcase it, and Lil Kev, It truly is fulfilling because it's an emotional thing for me.
479
Mom's not here.
480
So having mom on the animation, my dad's not here.
481
Having my dad and the stories of old come back to life, it's a full circle moment.
482
So I feel like my angels and my mom and dad are significantly proud, happy about the moment.
483
Yes.
484
And Brandon, such a creative way.
485
Yes, yes, yes.
486
I love that Wanda Sykes plays your mom.
487
Wanda Sykes.
488
How did you ask her to do it?
489
I just asked her.
490
Wanda is a mentor, a friend, just a space of love.
491
She's done so much for me throughout my career, in advice and, more importantly, in just direction.
492
Being able to go back to her and say, like, I got something cool I think it'd be dope for you to do.
493
It's playing my mom.
494
And you get to treat me the way you do at a regular level.
495
You get to be mean to me.
496
She jumped at the opportunity just because of that.
497
And she brought so much more to the character.
498
When you have something on page, you know what it is or what it can be.
499
But when you have talent like Wanda come in and take a liking to it, it elevates it to another level.
500
So it's special.
501
We've got to put a very, very special thing on our hands right now.
502
You're so great at what you do.
503
I want to pick your brain.
504
Like, what's something you haven't done that you want to do?
505
Because you've done so much.
506
I am very much adamant about trying to do as much as I can.
507
Yeah.
508
You know, the business of entertainment is broad.
509
There's so much that adds to the definition of entertainment, right?
510
So it's not just movies.
511
It's not just TV.
512
It's not just stand-up comedy.
513
It's the writing.
514
It's the producing.
515
It's the directing.
516
It's the developing.
517
You know, it's the partnering.
518
It's the business to the business.
519
I'm trying my best to build better bridges so that the talent after me can surpass me.
520
I think that's the real goal at hand.
521
I'm very fortunate.
522
I'm very blessed and thankful to have done the things that I've done and experienced what I've experienced.
523
But I think the baton, it's supposed to be passed.
524
So if I can build this platform and these things
525
and new talent to the Drewskys or the Kyes or the Plastic Cup Boys,
526
Naeem, Spank, fresh talent, writing talent, producing talent.
527
If I can have the engine to service their needs and put them in a position to go forward, then that's the bigger win for me.
528
That's my focus.
529
And that's where I'm finding the most joy in today's time, is building the brand of heartbeat and servicing the opportunity for others.
530
And I just, I hope that I can be a part of the conversation for the stars of tomorrow.
531
And I hope that those stars do way more than I was able to do
532
so that the generations after can continue to push and drive and do more anew.
533
That's how the business evolved.
534
So if you don't serve your purpose, then it flatlines.
535
So how are you serving your purpose?
536
How are you doing your just-do?
537
You just inspired all of us.
538
Will you come back again to see us?
539
Absolutely.
540
Oh, my God.
541
This is a treat.

- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como eagle, slack, doze.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
