Kevin Hart: Golf, Girlhood, & Getting Roasted

What is up, Daddy Gang?

It is your founding father, Alex Cooper.

We call her Daddy. [MUSIC PLAYING] This is this good, check, check, check. Yeah, check, check. All the things-- check, check, check.

This is good. Kevin Hart, welcome to Call her Daddy. Call her Daddy. You're obviously-- Is this like a eye you're my eyes?

I like your glasses. Do you like my eyes? I like your eyes. Which one do you want? I think we can kind of test the vibes.

If I start to push you too hard, you put the glasses back on. Well, no matter what, not, they're just going to-- They'll be there. I mean, I like to do interviews with glasses or no.

“I like doing it too, because I think I say crazy or shit.”

You've got a lot of cars. OK, yes. How'd you get here in one of your 20 luxury cars? Uh, I did drive a car. I drove my wife's car today.

So I didn't drive one of my cars today. Why didn't you drive one of your cars? I have-- I am a two-seater guy. So I love two-seaters. So all of my cars, but maybe the exception

of like two or two-seaters. So today, I need a little trunk space on a drove my wife's truck. Oh, what's it for me? What's it the truck? Well, my golf clubs are in a truck.

And I got my luggage in it. I knew that the entire fucking episode, I was like, is this guy going to come in and hold personality's golf? Right now? And you know what?

I'm-- we're going to talk about golf. I'm going to talk about golf with you. OK.

But first I want to talk a little bit more

about your cars. OK. 20 cars. Is that around right? No.

How many? More. Kevin, over under 50 cars. I mean, I can't-- I can't say that. We're-- I'm under.

I'll say I'm under. But I have a lot of cars. You're up there. Yes. Do you name these things?

My old school cars.

“My old school cars that I build have names.”

Give me one. Bane, Dark Knight, Bad News, Mint Condition, Birdie, Birdies, my Bronco. That's where my golf clubs go. It's for the hope.

I got, yeah, the name, the name, it's a long-gated name from when I get like, oh, my God. Kevin Hart, have you played them in golf? Holy shit, man. Birdie, Birdies all day.

And it says it on a size of his plate. Right, yeah, like that's what I-- You're being the best thing. Yeah, I'm giving you-- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm already-- I'm three years ahead of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, I have a problem with men who have really loud cars. Do you make them loud on purpose? Like, are you one of those guys that, like,

what do you call, like, pulls the exhaust and makes it go from room? Kevin? All right, so you really don't know about the car. OK, all right, so you're not lying.

No, I'm a muscle car guy. So if you're getting a muscle car, or if you're building a muscle car, without muscle, you don't really have a car. So the engine is where the concept of muscle comes from.

So the exhaust and the world of what happens after that what starts there. So I'm a hell of a guy, I'm a LT-5 guy, I'm a-- I'm really trying to reach in for the girls after. I'm really trying to reach in for the girls after.

But I am very much like you can hear me coming. That's bad. We shouldn't--

You were never cutting that.

Yeah, that was the first line of the promo. That was bad, you shouldn't. You can. Kevin? You can hear me.

Kevin. Block away. The way that I think I would hate you if I saw you on the street, riding that thing. Because what's the point?

It's so loud. It gives me the ink a little. It gives you the ink. You can't appreciate a muscle car with no muscle. What do you mean?

What do you mean? It just defies the car. If that's me, this isn't me. This isn't a me thing. We're talking about the car.

But does it actually make it go faster? Or like this? Yes. But think they're going just nice? No, because then all of your driving needs, I'm like 40

miles in our roads, you know, like a room room. Well, I mean, you know, you don't want to-- You can't go but so fast, but if you're going to build the car, you want to build it correctly. Like, I want to build-- if I got a hell of it, engine--

Well, I want to hear it. You want me to hear you coming. You want to hear it. A block away, maybe two blocks. I want to play a game with you.

I'm listening.

“That's why I had you bring your phone in here.”

OK. We're going to play one of my favorite colored out of games. It's called Confess or Text. Confess or Text. Yeah.

I'm going to ask you a question. That's a little-- oh, like PR Kevin's going to be like, oh. It's no such thing as PR Kevin. OK, and then you're going to either answer it. OK.

Maybe like I got you Alex, easy. OK. Or you're going to say, you know what? I'm going to decide not to do that. And instead, I'm going to text.

If you decide to text, there is a bowl of questions there,

and what you're going to text them.

So choose your own adventure Kevin. At least you know who's in my phone? Uh, yeah. I know who you're friends with. You know who I'm talking about.

I've done a little recon. OK, are you ready? I'm ready, come on.

“First one, who is the most overrated person in the industry right now?”

I'm the most overrated person in the industry. Duying the rock Johnson. What an idiot. Yeah, I'm a comedian. So I can get away with, I can get away with this.

OK, fuck. OK, what's been your worst diva moment on set? My worst diva moment on set. My worst diva moment on set. Mm-hmm.

You know what? I'm probably going to have to go. It would be a gemange moment. What'd you do? I don't like the jungle.

I don't like the jungle.

So after that sun drops, those mosquitoes and shit get out of there.

We're supposed to be wrapped. Hey, man, it's five o'clock. What are we doing? I'll start making people aware of the times. Like, hey, we don't have time for one more.

Like, you know they start coming out. I'm very-- And they're like, Kevin, we got to get this shot. OK, this is, we got one more shot. Hey, get it, because after this, I'm not going to do it.

Oh, wow. But it's with love. Mm-hmm. Demainance. Jake J. Cass and I direct the he knows how I feel about the spiders

and the synopedes and the mosquitoes. So it's with love. I'm not like the bug. I don't like the bugs, insects. It doesn't matter where.

It doesn't matter where. Like, I won't do a movie based off of a location. If it's like a little too old. Yeah, like, whoa. Yo.

No boozey trailer. It's all old. Yeah, it was. I don't care about the trailer. I'll take a-- I'll take a shitty trailer.

I don't care. I'm there in a work. But if you tell me the-- Hold on. So we--

So we're in a swamp. For how-- This is the whole-- No. No matter how hard in the swamp, no shit. No. Page one, I'll close it. Open in a swamp. I'm not reading the rest. OK, fair. What is the biggest lie you've ever been caught in?

Biggest lie. I mean, Jesus Christ. I'll say the biggest. Probably that I'm not five, five. Kevin. What? Is the truth? What are you? Five four.

Five three, five three. Five three. I'm sorry. I can't-- I thought you were going to let it go. You just-- Yeah, I said that you were going to keep digging. I apologize.

Have you put that on any business things, or have you switched with a PDF? Like, are you checking what people say about you? I mean, once people started doing what you just did,

like, not take my first answer.

The only people that believed me was the DMV years ago. I was like, how tall are you? I was like, five, five. And they were like, OK, I was like, whoa, don't you?

“Oh, that's how-- you're going to write that?”

I love this, my shit. Write it down! Kevin, it's the only person that loves the DMV. OK. What's a secret sexual fantasy you have?

A secret sexual fantasy. Well, this is a weird question, because then it's not a secret anymore. Tax, give me one tax. That's what I'm trying to avoid. So I'd rather-- let me think about this for a second.

You have to text, come on, they're good, they're good. You're so scared. I am. I am. I was going to make up a sexual fantasy just now. I was--

Chelsea Hamlet, OK, Chelsea. I'm throwing you a rage with this weekend, what drugs can you give? You can pick another. Not as good, this is good for Chelsea. I love Chelsea.

Chelsea, but the crazy part is, she's going to text back. But like, what are you looking for? She's like, I got to meet. She's such a drug addict. Dude, she's crazy.

Such a closet druggy. Not even closet it. No, she doesn't get it. That's why I said, you can just ask her. She's by far the best person alive.

I've been in jail in a match. And I'm going to send this text. Cast in a voice note? Yeah. That's better than a text.

That's way better. OK. Chelsea's been on the show like three times. OK. Chelsea, this cave.

Hey, I'm throwing a crazy rager this weekend.

“What drugs can you give for everyone if I need a bunch of drugs?”

What can you-- what can you get? But like a variety pack. Like if I want people to have a good time. What can you give me? I love how you say, hey, it's Kev.

She has your number, right? I don't know. She might have this one. This is my new number. Oh, thank you, does.

Do you switch your number a lot? No, I just did it. You're on the move. Yes. I just said, lock in my new number as we said it.

OK. Last one. I'm ready. What is your current network? Oh, I'm fucking call whoever.

What is this? Oh, all right. Jack Black, I'm producing his movie. I'm out of the demonic children's car liar.

Do you like that? Yeah, that's good.

You got to give Jack energy, though.

You got to give Jack energy. You're going to do a voice note? Yeah. Are you a voice noteer? I am a voice noteer.

OK. Why not use it? Hit him with it. My mean, it's a great-- Oh, I love Jack Black so much.

So much. All right, ready? Yep, here we go. Hey, J.B. Look, man.

Got a crazy idea, man. I'm producing this movie about like a demonic children's choir.

“And I think I think it would be perfect for the part of their conductor.”

I don't know, man. I just see the conductor having crazy hands and crazy energy because he's dealing with these like demon kids on the other way to get their attention. It's like, make those faces that you be making. Either way, let me know what you think, man.

Just, that's a rough pitch. I can get a full detail when we talk. He seemed like, what the fuck? That's one of those where you're like, how do I tell my friend? Kindly know.

Well, Jack is actually Jack will call back and he's like, ah, it's like this through. That's it. So when you say deal, he'll vet it out. He'll want to know me. He's so good.

He's so good. So what is it? Are you locked in to this, like, concept? Do we have room to, like, he won't just tell me now? He's a good guy.

He won't just tell me. Okay, obviously, stalked your Instagram before you came here. Okay. I saw that David Beckham recently commented in one of your thirst traps saying that he thinks you're hot.

“How did that moment make you feel Kevin?”

We were, we were going back and forth because we are, we both are, ah, we're both part of the same team now. We both under the ABGM Brella and we share businesses and business interests and he

and I did an amazing partnership with Shark Ninja and with Shark Ninja, we have a through

line of things that we are endorsing or backing or acting as the ambassador. So mine's was the chill pill and the whole concept with the chill pill is, if you're hot, well, take a moment to chill. So there's a chill factor, there's a fan, there's a cooling spray, et cetera. So in the campaign, it's, do you think I'm hot?

And if so, well, maybe I should chill. Kevin, you're just selling it all. I mean, I'm not hot. That wasn't a plug. I want to talk to you.

Very poised. Paula. I've got my answer. I've got my answer. What do you think is your best physical quality?

My best physical quality. What do you think is your best physical quality? My best physical quality. Physical. Yeah.

Um, my wife likes my back. She likes my back. Oh, she has a big back for a little man, she has a big, big, like, cober back. Do you feel that way? Um, yeah.

I think I have a nice back. Okay. Do you go nice back? Yeah, back. I'll go back.

Oh, and my calves. Good calves.

My calves are incredible.

Good, you know, like thickness. Incredible. Okay. And fucking incredible. Okay.

I can't see them. I believe you know.

“I think my quads are getting bigger too.”

I want to go down to the path of just like what I feel is going on. But I think I'm starting to get a nice quiet, like a nice quiet. So, you know, maybe the swim trunks get a little smaller to something, right? The fear with the smallest swim trunks though, because you, if you wear a trunks correctly, you're not wearing draws underneath them.

I don't want to be to do showing a little ball at the, at the beach. You don't want to, you don't want to, a ball drop out. But you like when they're tight, come on, you want to be fit if my, if my quads get big, but I don't want, I don't want them not to be, when they're supposed to be, and I get aggressive with the short, and then I get a ball slip.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like a ball slip or they're a little too baggy that the quads look smaller. Yeah, you don't want to look sick, because like I have Rick, it's the, you don't want to look.

Oh, Kevin Hart, what happened to his legs, man? You want to find that in between. Yeah, yeah, unless you, you took the mirrors out of your gym. Uh, well, for a minute, and then. Oh, they're back.

Well, I put new ones in it, but for many of them, I did. Why did you take them out? Because they were getting distracting, huh? Well, check it out. Wow.

Do you imagine looking at that every day? Every day? Did you start to think, well, why am I still here? I did it. Kevin, Kevin, so, you see yourself in these mirrors.

You're like, god damn, god damn, god damn, I'm so good. I took him out for a while because I was redoing the gym. And then I got used to him. Not being there. You find like that you're doing the work wrong.

Well, no, not wrong. You just a little more motivated because it's like you're not looking every single day and

Getting swollen. Yeah, you, you, you get a nice little pay off, but they're back now. They're back. Your wife commented on all of your Instagram posts. She's very supportive.

Did you ask her to do this? You know, you just said she's supportive. She's supportive, but like, you know, it was crazy. Is that it actually gets me like, sometimes it doesn't get me in trouble. But like, I'm not, I'm not the social media guy that I used to be.

Like as far as like, you know, always on social media, always looking.

So, you know, my wife will go and put stuff up and I'll go days. Oh, shit. I saw the thing you posted. She was like, I was like two weeks ago, oh, no, I saw it. Are you in her comments like she's in yours? I say things when I see it, yeah, you look beautiful, honey. Have you heard the term Instagram husband?

Instagram husband. No, what is that? It's like, you're capable of actually taking a fucking good picture of your wife and like, so she can like, slay on the gram. I'm not, I'm not.

You're bad. I'm horrible. You're hitting her bad angles. You're hitting her. I get, you get three max with me and I'm like, get the fuck out.

Get to go. Who's taking your pictures? Well, I have a photographer, all right. I mean, I have a professional. You're going to have a designated Instagram and talk professional if it's time for me

to like, put stuff up. We have somebody there that's taking pictures. My wife is taking good pictures though. Like, we're doing like a family day. She does all that.

Yeah, yeah. She's great with that. I'm not that guy.

I don't have, I'm not, and I don't have the patience to do.

You don't got it. Like, oh, wait. Do another one. Oh, wait. No, no, no, no.

Let me move my hand like this. And let me sit. You get three. Three is so wide. I got three.

Three by eyes are closed. 40, six years old. I'm thinking of your wife today. I get four, I'm 46 years old. With a designated Instagram person for yourself.

I am, I am. I am when they're there, that's their job. Can't have to stay in line. You get one man, pap, that's going to be good. Make it work.

Not, I'm not that guy.

“What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever posted on the internet?”

The most embarrassing thing? Yeah, nothing's embarrassing. You're not embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed. But anything.

I'm very stressed. Okay. What is embarrassed your kids that you've posted on the internet? I can't get mad at everything. Okay.

They're teenagers. Cool. They're too cool. So dad, did you even look at my face in this one? Look at my eyes.

God. Oh my God. Why do you got me looking like this? Dad, yo, you got to take that post down man. You got me looking.

You got me looking chop. I just learned all these words. Kevin. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. When did you learn chop?

I learned it about three months ago. My daughter said it. Dad, no, seriously? No. You got me looking chop.

Take that down. Think what down? It's a fan that we're eating. It's just a nice little family picture. We were eating dinner.

Like why can't I just want to show how cool it is when all my kids would be eating didn't know. Not like that. I look crazy. Do you feel like sometimes they're talking to different languages?

What's around you? Absolutely. It's kind of crazy, huh? Absolutely. It's a different language.

My kids.

“Here's the thing that's funny about my kids.”

I'm not that guy to my kids. Like there's nothing. You're not cool. No. I'm cool.

They have definitely told me I'm like a really cool dad. But I'm not cool. What I think I am. You're not, you're not Kevin Hart. No, no shot.

No shot. Instagram bio. Live, love and laugh. Yes. What's going on?

What's going on there? Live, love, love. Those are three rules that I live by. Live your life while you live it, try your best to love as much as you can. Okay.

And when you're living in loving correctly, well, you should be laughing. If the three L's apply to you, it's very hard to not be living a good life. Is this, it's a little home good. Like, live, love, love. But you jerk.

No, that's not what I say. No. That's not what I say. You say, live, love, love. Yeah.

That would you just say it's fucking ridiculous. Who would do that? No. Live, love, love. No.

No. Don't do that. Live, love, love. See that, see the difference? Did you just see the difference?

You were like, live, love, love.

“And that was like, what the, hey, crazy lady, are you crazy?”

Do you have this motto like on your walls somewhere in your home? I do.

But when you go to shop for it, it's always probably live,

love loves you and you get it. By the way, which is why it's never purchased, which is why you always see it. It's always available. It's on my wall of my gym. I got it like, I got a bunch of things on my gym.

So you custom made it. Yes. Custom. Yes. That's me.

You're not a live, love, love guy. No. You're a live, love, love, love. You got to live to love. And then you laugh.

See how I make that. I mean, is this not great? By the way, she feels so much better now than she heard it the right way? Yeah. She's just saying, live, live, live, live, live.

Like, no, what are you saying? Love. Whatever it is, it's always good.

He's like, what?

I shouldn't have looked to the left.

“You're my whole fucking equilibrium off.”

I got vertigo. No, we're the hardest where the home is. No. No. I will say this though.

It's hard to take steps if you're going backwards. Oh. Oh. I'm that guy. Yeah.

Okay. Get on the elevator. Do me a favor? Make sure it's going up. Hard work.

Should be hard. Because if it feels good, then you ain't doing it right. Oh, yeah. There you go. I mean, electric.

Yeah. I mean, these are big things to live. These are. This is going to change the game for people. If someone's having a bad day,

I'm not having a bad day. Yeah. Kevin Hart came through. By the way. In the words of my door to Kayori.

Duh. Duh. Let's talk about golf. Oh, shit. When did this become your latest obsession?

7 months ago. To the date. To the date. To the tea. What happened?

What do you mean what happened? What happened?

God basically opened up the portal to happiness and said, this is it.

Who put you on that? Because when you said, you, how old are you? I am 46. So you're in your 40s? Yes.

You've lived your life with no golf. Oh, okay. You're done. You're out. They just fucking killed me in your 40s.

You're done. You basically did it. So now. Now that you end of it. Hold on.

You've been living this life without golf in it. I feel, I, it is such a tough thing to process. Because so many people have tried to get me into golf for years. And you're talking about, you know, I've been in the, I've been in the, I've been in the most beautiful places in the world.

And if I had to head golf as a hobby during those times, I would be able to see some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world simultaneously. But Luda, Luda and I, we, we do a trip yearly. We tried to sometimes it's a little space in between. We were on a bag of a boat and they had the bio degradable golf balls.

Okay. And they had it like club.

So I literally just started hitting them off the back of the boat. And I was like, man, this is not bad. And when we got back, my friends were going to Mexico. And they're like, oh, we're going to golf trip. You want to roll it off the, yeah, I'm a go.

And when I went on the golf trip and everybody else was kind of okay. And I was so bad. I'm such a competitive person. I did not like the feeling of being that bad. So I made a bet with them.

And I said, give me a year and I'm going to come back. And I guarantee I'll beat all of you guys. So we, we marked the date. So I have about maybe five more months. I think five more months.

And we go back to the same course. And we're playing and we have odds and stuff. But I'm going to beat them. So I don't do anything halfway. I'm 100%.

Oh, so this trip is coming up. And five months, yeah. Damn. So, but I'm addicted. Like I'm addicted with the fact that it's you against yourself.

“And all you're trying to do is find the best way to navigate this little white ball around this course.”

And it's less strokes as possible. It's a beautiful game. It's a beautiful game. What's your handicap? That's a devil.

Not be discussed today. We will not. Network or anything. No, we will not give any information. Because I have a competition coming up in five months.

And I will not fucking give you any information. Harry, John, Mustafa, huh? Boss? That's right. Five months.

Get minds. Or get naked. You know what it is, bitch. And by the way, it's going to Kevin. That's a threat.

And I got Brian. Brian got a match coming up. Oh, so this ain't looking good though. Because someone holding their handicap closer or test. No, no.

It's a little unfair. Honestly, I am for doing this for seven months. I am so advanced from where I should be. Really? Yes.

Have you ever had a whole one? No. Absolutely not. No. Right now, I'm at the stages where it's all about understanding.

The golf swing and the proper road to a successful golf swing.

“Are you in your kitchen and your shower and in your house?”

Yep. Just doing the thing. Yep. All of it. Name it.

Name a product that you can buy to the business of golf. Has made so much money that it's ridiculous. But I'm telling you what I'm going to do. So from where I am now. And I'm going to figure out the tournament that I want to play in.

That's a good enough tournament. That's coming up like a year and a half. I'm giving myself a lot of time. Year and a half's time. I'm going to fill my progression from now until then.

Because the sport and world of golf needs to know that I'm not doing this. Just to like, just do it to fuck around. I'm very serious about this. It's a matter of fact. I honestly thought about putting a microphone down and taking the old acting and the scripts and going,

It's like when you get over 50 there's a tournament for 50 year olds and up.

“So I'm like, what if I start preparing for that now?”

You've got four years. By time I turn 50, I might be in the masters. I might. The way I'm going and how dedicated I am. You're in.

I'm in as an understatement. And I already brought the Bronco and I put the birdie license plate on it. So I have to start getting birdies. Oh, so I wasted my fucking money. Yeah, then. Yeah, I'm just giving you what it is.

There's so much, but I'm going to bring personality charisma style. Oh, I mean, I'm. I'm going to make golf sexy. I'm going to make golf sexy. Can you imagine me?

It's someone whose little shorts after I'm done with my quarts? Not now. Wait, when they're done. When they're done. I'm still in development.

So if you look, is that camera? Can it zoom in a little bit? Yeah, but you're not consuming, but don't, don't loosen up on me. Don't get my, don't get the unit.

I'm saying grab grab my fucking quarts for a second.

I'm not making that up. They're there. So that's all about how I'm coming through to come. Press the fucking ball. Compress it.

D Shambo is quaking. That's my guy man. Brass and he had a tough masters, but next year he'll be behind. He'll be back. Young guy.

Great future ahead of him as I talk about personalities in the sport. He's an amazing personality. A guy who's found a way to like amplify the game. Make it fun. Yes.

Yes. That's what it's about. What's your catty's name? Well, right now, Emiko Hart. My wife has been.

My wife has been. My catty for my toughest matches. Yeah. Yeah. How's that going?

I mean, that was not too good. You know, she's a very vocal about what she sees out there. Honey, I come. You're not hitting it like that. Well, you shut the fuck like stop doing that.

I'm just saying.

“But when they hit it, it goes like, why you're just keep going to the side like that?”

Because I don't know. I'm trying to figure out. I mean, you're poor white. No, there's nothing funnier than a woman that has no idea like what you're going through who's asking innocent questions.

Why you always be going in the sand?

Shut the fuck. God. Dammit, honey. But it's because I'm not coming through. Did you see what my elbow is?

She's just got on. Oh, man. She's a full champ though. Oh, my gosh. She's coming out there with you.

Some of those shitty swings ever. Holy shit. Did she know a lot about golf? Well, now she does. Yeah.

You're learning together. Yeah. I have to go into the master. She's full. Like that was an experience of a lifetime.

Let's move on to fashion. Okay. The fact that we're talking this long about golf on Caller Daddy is pretty historic. Well, it is historic. And I think the viewers that you have are going to be energized with a

new form of like, oh, my God. I want to do this, too. Right? I know there's a lot of women that are watching us. Oh, my God.

“Maybe I should go in and candy for my man.”

Yeah. But she's having a good time. Maybe I can't do. And you know what? I've hit a couple times.

Whoa. Hey. Hit the golf ball. You need to. I don't want to.

Okay. You need to. All right. I've hit the golf ball. Yeah.

That's on. Let me. Let me clarify. I've hit the golf ball a couple times. Okay.

I'm not bad. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't believe you. And it's like, you know what? Before you leave, I'm going to find the fucking video.

Okay. Yeah. Back down. Heart. Okay.

All right. Next time I see you, you'll be asking what my handicap is. Or not. And I won't hide it. Or not.

Or not. Or not. Or not. Or not. Or not.

Or not. Okay. How would you describe your personal style? My personal style. I see layback, tailored, mature.

Watch collection. Do you have more watches than cars? That's none of your god damn business. That's none of your god damn business. I'm trying to rob you.

Okay. Sounds like really sounds like. I'm like, where are these? So I'm like, where do you put these? Like if you like just as an example.

What do you? A hundred. Like what do you? I have a nice collection. More than a hundred less.

I have a nice watch collection. More. That's that's why. I've never said that. Kevin, you're blushing.

My never said. The cheeks are getting rosy. Dark the blush. She's fuck off 200.

I am never disclosing this information.

Why? As a watch collector, I watch enthusiasts. People in the space noted, I'm very serious about my watches. But you never, you never tell. There's no need to tell.

You want text? Yeah. You want me to. Not only text. Question about my favorite sexual fantasy with us.

What do you want? I don't do anything halfway. So if I'm in, I'm in. How does anyone text it back? I didn't check.

You didn't tell me to check. Let's see. Don't go in through any emails, right? No. No.

I only have one text from HR.

Chelsea probably will.

Look, what I tell you Jack was saying.

Stop. What did I say, Jack was saying? You were like, keep like. Let's talk about this moment. So you're thinking that I'm not lying?

At 12 o, 12 o, 8 p.m. No. Jack Black says, let me read the script. What did I tell you? Jack, that was a dare, man.

I'm going to call her daddy. And I had the sin, sin you attacks with that crazy one lineer. And I actually guess that your response would be, let me read the script. Because you would be too afraid to tell me. It was a shitty idea.

Cause you're too nice. I love you. It was a joke. Bye.

It's really fucking good.

I told you. Let me read the script. He's the nicest guy ever. He's like Jesus Christ. What I do for friends.

“What do you think is the biggest fashion mistake that men make?”

Trying to do too much. Trying to dress towards a trend and not towards like where you are. Like I think I think I do a very good job of staying in what I would consider the be my lane, right? Like I don't.

I don't do too much. I'm not trying to walk the runway. I'm not trying to, you know, go to the fashion shows and make the biggest statement. I like, I like being clean cut. I like looking polished, poised at the same time comfortable.

Like it's true. Is there anything that your wife has ever been vetoed and been like, take it off? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I've definitely had some.

As mostly is mostly color. Okay. Like the color. Like sometimes I'm like, what do you think? But like I can feel it because I don't ask a lot of questions.

So if I come away, yeah. You just know. You see, electric blue.

“What do you think about this right here?”

It's too much. It's a V-neck. And she's like, I take it off. I get off. I get it fair.

Let's talk about your family. Okay. You have four kids? Yes. What would you say you're like as a dad?

The best. I'm a, I am a solution. First dad. Like talking about the problem. Doesn't make the problem go away.

Talking about the solution and then going back. To understand why the problem happened. But Kevin, are you one of those husbands that we deal with this a lot? Where it's like, you're like, babe, I've got the solution. She's like, I don't want a solution.

I want you to just listen to my feelings. Men tend to kind of like go right for how to solve it. Um, with my daughter, my, my oldest. It was 21 now. We definitely went through a wave.

And a learning curve where I had to realize listening to you. Uh, was the, was the, was the one or could be the one? Was the solution? And, and sometimes you feeling hurt. Provided the table.

Like, for better. It's good. A better word of repair. Are you strict? Like, what would you do if you caught your kids sneaking out?

I'm not, I'm not that strict. Um, you know, we're living in a different time. So, holding my kids to a, a time of old and expecting them to do and move the same way that I had to. I don't think that's fair.

“Um, you know, you have to, you have to be a little more, a little more lenient, a little more loose.”

Um, uh, the curfew is a little later. But I'm, I am a, I will give you as much as you're asking as long as you're matching it with responsibility. And maturity. If that starts to sway, now you're giving me reason to start to pull things back. So, I'm only taking things away because you're not doing what you said you were going to do.

So, you can play the good game all you want. You can play me. You can have me thinking I got a saying as a child because you're on time. You're getting you worked on, uh, you, you, when you say you're going to be back, you're back. When you say you're going somewhere, that's where you are.

Hey, man, if you're in between those lines, I don't know what the fuck is going on in between that. Yeah. But if you're giving me that visual, I'll leave you alone. Um, your oldest daughter just turned 21 like you said. Your oldest son just committed to run track and feel that University of Tennessee.

How emotional have you been watching your kids like reach these achievements? I mean, it's bigger and better than any accomplishment that I've had in career. Um, I mean, there's no better gift than the gift of a child. And make sure I don't get a little fucking choked up. Uh, seeing my two oldest grow up into the people that they are,

and to the people that they have become is my happy, right? Like my, I can be proud of my daughter. She is an example to my youngest of what being a woman and our family is and will be.

heart should be and will be and it's tough.

Cause like them, you know, this house about to get. It's about to get quiet. It's about to get quiet. So I don't think that I've completely processed that yet. Like, you know, when your kids go away from school, this is a chance they might not come back.

And what I mean by come back is like, they may go somewhere and they may fall in love with the town,

“the city and that could be life, right? And you're looking at holidays, whatever, but you have to be supportive of whatever that is.”

Like they, I have two full fledged young adults. So as a father, I don't, I don't, I don't guide with what I want them to do for the best or for what I think will create the best for me. I want them to do things for the best of them. And it's like they're just starting to kind of lay that shit out and that's that's the tough part. It is so funny like watching yourself.

I'm sure like going from being a kid to then a parent. You're watching your kids now leave. And you're like, I know the supposed to be such a fun time, but I'm also like, I'm not tough. But you're going to handle it.

And like obviously you love them so much, but yeah, that like empty nester feeling.

Obviously I know you've had a kids, but like when you're.

You're going to be losing even one to leaving the house, it changes the dynamics so intensely. It's tough because my, their younger brother and sister look up to them so much as well. So you know, the impact that it's going to have on them. Like it's a trickle effect. It's not just not just me and Nico and the mom.

It's like, there's a, there's a trickle effect. You know, where's, where's, where's have, where's do? Like when they come, like they all that energy, all of that. Like the want to grow up or be cool. They followed their brothers and sisters.

“So when that's not there, that's avoidance.”

It's dynamic. In honor of your wife and your daughters, I'm going to test your knowledge of girlhood today. Okay. Oh, God. I'm going to show you picture.

You're just going to tell me what you think it is. Okay. Right. Ready? Okay.

That's a rose. Try again. You didn't do it. That is the Patella. Kevin.

That is. Wait, no. That's make up thing. Yes.

Yes, that's the make up thing.

It's a beauty blender. She's just Christ of Rose. This doesn't look like a fucking rose. It looks like the color. Is that not? We'll come in. All right. Oh, shit. Next. That's the vagina plot.

This is a tampon applicator. Kevin. Or the vagina plot. Okay. Ready? Oh boy.

These are the no-seems. The sticky Wonder Woman's. All right. You slap them on top.

“So you can look like Wonder Woman in fight crime.”

Neppocopper. There you go. Oh boy. Oh, this is a tough one. This is a...

Perfect control kit. To be fair, this looks a little x-ray ass. But look at this thing. Like, what could this be? That's a seamen checker.

Oh. It's a pimple pack. God, dammit. Come on, Kevin. All right. Sorry.

Okay. Next. Oh, yeah. You know this. This is an alarm clock. Oh my god.

That's an alarm clock. Your family right now is screaming at the TV does. Wait, no hands. The jail. Yeah, jail.

I let me draw my jail. Oh my hands. Kevin. And I need to look at the term at the top. Ready?

All right. Oh boy. That's the enemy. That's Mr. Fix it. I know that guy.

Hey, man, what are you doing here? Well, apparently you didn't get the job done. I've been calling upon. That's Mr. Get it done. Right there.

A vibrator. Yeah. You know what this is. Oh, I know what that is. Yes.

That's the get my eyes together. Yep. Right. I got to flatten the brow. The lash. What in the brow?

You are referring to an eyelash curler here. Yes, they're heart. Yes. Oh boy. Oh, this is a.

This is a testicle holder. You got to put them in there and. Let's see them. You've seen this on your wife before.

I never seen that on my machine.

I had no testicle holder. Kevin. No, okay, the pictures as large. That's the thing for your feet. You put that your toes in there.

Good job. Your toes get hit. Last one. The way you had it. Oh, no.

Oh, no. This is the. The mechs. Water pressure shower head 2000 to give you the. Extra birch you need for those women at a navigating.

It's a diffuser for a hair dryer. I damn it. Okay, that wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. You're not useless.

I got a lot of them.

And at least you're funny.

I got a lot of them. You got some of them. I got a lot of them. If I asked your wife to roast you. Yes.

What do you think she would say? Unrollable. She would not say that. She would say this is the coolest fucking guy ever. She would go, you know what?

I would roast them. But I love them. But I fucking love them to death.

“What jokes would you make if you had to roast yourself?”

If I had to roast myself. I made it as joke. And my state of special. It's becoming true. My balls dropped.

Not too long ago. No one knows that. But if I had to talk about myself. I got the hell's going on there. Click clacker.

That's what you're worried about. The stream trust. That's what I'm like. It's all truck. Yes.

Or I would go my toenails. I don't have the best toenails. Come on. Get them done. No.

We're past that. Okay. They're that bad. I mean, a couple of them are. You were announced as the latest subject of the Netflix Rose.

Yes. How are you feeling? Feeling fucking great. You feel good. I can't wait.

On Instagram you said I'm not even close to scared. This is what I do mother fucker. What are you hoping for out of the experience? I'm hoping to not just have a good time, but to like. I'm hoping for a table of hard hitting.

Hard edge comedy, right? Like I think I think doing a rose.

You always got to expect some blood.

But being a comedian and being able to like set the tone and being able to sit there and then having the opportunity to go last with that's fun. That's fun.

“Is there anything that would actually hurt your feeling?”

No. Have at it. Say what you want. Have at it. Because I'm going to say what I want.

I'm going to say what I want. See, I've been doing this for so long that you know. The brand of Kevin Hart started to go third person. As become pretty big. So because of the brand aspect attached to me in business and opportunity.

I got commercial in places where I had to because that's the direction that I was going and rightfully so very happy decisions I made. But you can't forget my roots. Like this is what I do. This is where I started.

Like ground zero is snapping and jones in and hitting people below the belt. That's the good stuff. And I think doing that and giving a world an opportunity to see that and laugh at it. Like I don't give a fuck say what you want. I laugh.

Yes, laugh. You obviously have roasted people. So in honor of this exciting occasion. I'm going to give you the opportunity to a quick rapid fire roast of some celebrities. Quick rapid fire like one liners like this is all fun games.

“No one's going to get their feelings hurt.”

We're going to have fun. Ready? Timothy Shawmay. Timothy Shawmay. The body of a German woman.

Elon Musk. Elon Musk. Guy, what do you say about Elon Musk, man? There's so much happening that he glitches with the normal shit. It was like, how was your day?

You're like, yeah, what are you? So we're dealing with it. But he's such a genius though. So I would say, I would say the occasional glitch, the glitcher, the glitcher. Nick Cannon.

Nick Cannon.

Oh my god.

Oh, who's far from can get up there?

Who don't have? Poen swimmers. I'll show you. I think Nick has the code. Like Nick knows.

He knows. He knows. What do you want to do?

“Right left left left left left up down up down.”

There she is. Wait. Wait. Some fucking girl, man. How'd you do that?

You want to boy? Right. Right. Right. Two left, down, down, down.

Up, bow. Man. Man. Oh, so fucking boy. How did he do it, man?

He's got the code. Holy shit. He's got the code. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes has a voice that doesn't go with his body. Like you expect. You expect. Patrick's like, come on. Amen.

Look. We're going to play hard. We're going to do it. Patrick wants to game plan today. Amen.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Bruno Mars.

Bruno Mars. Fuck man. Pointing the wrong time. Bruno Bruno. Bruno missed his calling, man.

Bruno's problem is what his parents. He's pissed.

“The fucking girl had me in the 60s and 70s for her.”

Like he's, I should have been back there with those guys, man. He's got everything. Robert Pottenson. Robert Patterson. Patterson.

Patterson. Patterson. I think I'm still team Jacob. So I don't know, man. Machine gun Kelly.

Machine gun Kelly. The product of a wrong tattoo choice. There's nothing he can do now. There's nothing he can do about it. He can't cover it up.

He can't do anything. And it is what it is. He has a goddamn. He has a full-fledged shirt tattooed on him. Just a dark green shirt.

Nobody can say anything. Everybody's got to accept it. I don't know. I'm loving me. Such a good dude, too.

I would never say anything.

He took me in. He ever asked me. What do you think about that, too? I think he fucking did the right thing. I think he fucking nailed it.

[Music] Let's talk about your upcoming series. Funny A.F. Yes. What can you tell us about it?

What can I tell you about? Funny A.F. About time. They come. They're like, "Goddamn."

Enough with my watches. Funny A.F. Man. An amazing series that I did with Netflix. And this is about me finding the next wave of talent within comedy.

You know, we, one of the search high and low and give the opportunity of a lifetime through a competition for a comedian to walk away with an hour special on Netflix. And we want to allow, you know, the world to interact. We want to allow you to vote to be a part of it. And help us crown who can be and should be the next face in comedy. I think, you know, for me, after the stage in my career, it's about me helping helping others.

It's about me really trying to do my part in getting this next generation to the next stage. That's a good idea. Yeah. So that's what it is.

I mean, I got the amazing comedians to help me and dorm.

So, but especially it's really good. A lot of real, real funny people on this. What do you tend to look for? Like quality wise in upcoming comics? What do I tend to look for?

Um, personality, of course, stage presence, right? You want to see a star quality, but at the end of the day, you want to see people that aren't afraid to be themselves on stage.

“And I think that's the hardest code to crack in comedy, right?”

Figuring out how to be yourself, how to be uniquely you. And understanding that's what audiences resonate with. Yeah. I think once you crack that code becomes easier for you to churn. It becomes easier.

How much grace do you give them for bombing a set? A lot. This isn't a series where I'm looking to highlight the bad, right? I'm also going to protect those that may not have had the best set. Everything doesn't need to be showcased.

And for, I'm not looking to ruin careers. I'm looking to make them. So, I think when you have that attitude and that outlook, you can do no wrong. There is no meter of bad to sway to. Well, I'm excited, because I just feel like we obviously have so many competition shows, but this obviously we don't have.

We have so many singing things. Which I love, like who doesn't love watching the voice, who doesn't watch like American Idol. And it's so fun. But I think kind of similar to social media, so many people are getting discovered in ways that you have access to.

And with your guidance, I'm excited.

“Well, I think, you know, we've never had, we've never had a raw, a raw comedy series with competition, right?”

Everybody's had to scale it back. Everybody's had to, you know, corporate it up or clean it up.

So I think, you know, and allowing people to be 1,000 percent authentic to who they are and true to who they are.

It just gives a nice little level of freshness to it. What do you hope your legacy in comedy is? It's a great question. I don't think it's for me to too to define, right? Like I think,

is my job to do the work and have a crazy resume and a crazy book with amazing chapters.

Of success, ups, downs, failures, wins. And then when it's all said and done, you can throw all of this shit on the table. You can sigh for through it and go, oh my God, I forgot he did. Holy shit, that's right. He did do this. Oh my God, like this is crazy from a catalog. Like, I thought about it the other day.

I have a comedy catalog, a stand-up comedy catalog.

That's nine hours, right? Nine hours of stand-up comedy that really show my progression in life. Good and bad. It's all there on stage. I've been able to tap into every lane within entertainment, movies, TV, action, action comedy, adventure, animation, drama, dramas, right? Like there's unscripted TV to unscripted documentary, move like there's an author.

Then you go to business, like there's so much that I've been fortunate and blessed enough to do. I just hope that what it's all said and done, there's a conversation of realisation. It's celebrated and I hope that enough of it is visible and surpass whatever the fuck this is that I've done. That's what's supposed to happen. It's supposed to be a baton that's passed and somebody grabs it and does the unthinkable. Somebody sees the example of so many and goes, oh, I can do that and I'm going to make a left and then I'm going to go up the hill.

Yeah, I'm going to do more. It is cool to like when you obviously you people look at you now in your Kevin Hart, but I think a lot of times what we don't think about is the beginning days of like how things were hard and you had to grind to make it.

“And you know that story and you remember that part of yourself.”

And I think to know that trajectory for yourself, you obviously had people that you looked up to that you're like, I can do this because I've watched X amount of people be able to do a certain form of whatever. And I think you're right. It's like having people now younger that are like, I want to do what Kevin Hart has done. I think that's such a testament to like the amount you've been able to do and not just get pigeonholed into just comedy. Like you're you've kind of done everything and that doesn't dilute anything you've done, which I think is really cool as a performer.

Because I think sometimes we think like I want to be known for this one thing. And so sometimes people get really in their fucking head like, well, I can't do that because then it's going to take away from this and I feel like you're kind of a great exception to that rule where you've really dipped your toe into every lane and succeeded there. And you've been kind of rewarded for it and people love you for it.

“Well, I think you know a lot of stuff that I did was going against the traditional conversation, right? Like as a traditional model there's an expectation within that model of what you're supposed to do.”

And what's enough? And what's too much? And I disregard all of that and I chose the concept of as much as I can. Because why not, right? Like why not and who says and you know, I remember there was a time when I was doing like three movies a year. And I was touring at the same time and throwing a team shot like there was a there was a run where I was a I was a fucking monster in my in my prime.

We were doing a rena's and I was selling out three, four shows that a rena's doing two shows a night and a rena's like I mean.

The volume of work that I was doing.

“I'm never going to duplicate how to get never can I never will I right now. I think I'm more seasoned than I've ever been.”

I am so well crafted within the craft surgical almost. But I noted the moment of. Whoa, it's gone and now I'm chasing different variations of a high and. It comes just within completion, right? Like what am I trying to complete, you know, at the end of the day I have nine hours.

Okay, 10 is a great number. It's 10 it.

Well, then movies. What am I looking to do? What would opportunities am I looking to create or give? Where am I looking to challenge myself? Am I looking to have fun? Am I looking to enjoy the thing that I do at 50 years old? Where do I want to be?

“Where do I want to be comfortable bowing down, bowing out like all these things are my new focus of.”

A thought, right? Like if you, if you don't think about what's happening up there to curve when you get there, maybe a fucking cliff. You may fall off the cliff. So I'm very adamant about my approach to my do now and. Just thinking about the years before and just thinking about the earlier time.

It's a little mind blowing. It's it's a little mind blowing which is which is why I'm so energized.

Just to bring it for a circle within helping this next way. Like I want so many to see and do or get their version of that. Because it's the dopest you'd ever. So I want to see other people. That's really commendable because like you could just sell off and have fun with your cars and your watches and your family.

And that is it's cool to see people in your position like actually be interested in lifting other people up because there can be ego. Like I don't want people to do 10 hours and I only had not whatever it is. And it's like I do think that's kind of the beauty of every time I've ever gotten to speak to someone who is like, I this was the craziest like I don't even like say prime like this was like the craziest like height of my career. A lot of the people like as fun as that was I'm so much happier now because I can like see it all.

I can like see myself I can see my life and my career in the same time and a lot of times when you're in your prime.

“You have to just black the fuck out and just go go go which isn't bad.”

It's just you have perspective on the other side to the fact that you're able to give that to these young comedians. That's invaluable so I think I think it goes within you know anybody in any aspect of career entertainment business corporate whatever doesn't matter. When you're in your I call it jello when you're in the jello like that prime phase of oh my god you don't see it. You don't really it's going so fast that you're in it. It's like if you're having a good run and you're not you're not clocking it you're not you're not tracking the miles but you feel so good on a run.

And you're best run you'll look up and you'll stop you turn around and you go fuck I didn't know I went that far. Wow I didn't know. I did this far and then you'll go back and you'll finish the run and you'll say what was that like how far do you think I ran and when you finally get the tally 12 miles 10 miles you go oh my god I didn't feel that. Now granted somebody tells you to go run 12 miles and you know the number you're in my amen. It's not going to be the same run it's going to be a little struggle for you in the beginning stages when things started going and they took off.

It's not until you got comfortable said that you look back it was like oh my god. Shit we it was doing in my listeners work. And now you're comfortable in your set and it's a different thing and it's a different approach but you you can't see it when it's happening you can't you can't and it's also a little hard to appreciate. One thousand percent because you're just like also kind of in a mode that you can't yeah you can't take it in. I got to go I got to go I got to go I can't stop I can't see that I can't appreciate that if I do that then how I'm going to do this I got to go I got to be like engine I got to keep going keep going.

No it's such a crazy ride and you've had such and continue to have such an amazing career I was like so excited to meet you today because one I was like I wanted to just have fun because I'm like.

The world is just always so crazy and I feel like we need like fun episodes like this to just make people laugh if they're at work or wherever the fuck they are listening to this and watching this.

But then also the serious side of you because you are such a business man and you've had such success and I have so much respect for you and I've had such a great time today like that was that was fun. If if nothing else I want you to take away to be.

“I think the biggest is my quads are coming right like let's just let's just get it right let's just get it right my quads are coming.”

The balls have dropped but the quads like literally this summer could be the summer of all summer.

All right from a career aspect really focused on helping and creating the opportunities for the next wave. I'm very like much.

Happy with what I've done where I am and I want to see for other people that's where the business side comes in okay.

“I think the last one golf is about to get sexy and it's not it's not by accident.”

Right so so there's a shirt that I think I'm doing because they don't do tank tops and golf and I don't want to do that but I am going to cut the sleeve off. The flag when I'm hitting this club I'm hitting it correctly and whoever I'm golfing against gets to see this arm gets to see it a little bear what that's intimidating. You think that's a good idea. Right that's a timidity. I've granted.

“I may not be able to get on some of these country club courses just because board drove a set but you get that you get what I'm going.”

I'm just trying to figure out ways to break ground. You're trying to bring everything you've got to really throw people off. You really get your game going. Yeah you got it. I live love laugh. Thank you. It's not that hard. You're going to make golf so I can see that's going to be some type of title for this episode. Don't you think it will be by the way don't repeat that again and so I copyright it.

Okay yeah yeah just make sure you're going to get that down. Let's get that IP a little trip working here. That's that's your whole. Oh I'm going to get it in the hole. Kevin R. Thank you so much for coming and calling. This is really was so fun. Thank you.
