>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY!
WE'RE HERE WITH KEVIN HART.
ONE NICE THING, YOUR NEW BOOK,
"I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP" LIFE
LESSONS, KEVIN HART, YOU SAID
THIS IS A LOVE LETTER TO YOUR
MOM WHO RAISED YOU.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HOW DID SHE
INFLUENCE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TWO KIDS NOW.
>> AND ONE ON THE WAY.
>> Stephen: A THIRD ON THE
WAY?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS!
HEY, HONEY!
>> Stephen: WHAT ARE YOU LIKE
AS A DAD?
>> I'M AN AMAZING DAD.
I THINK I'M THE BEST DAD WALKING
THIS EARTH.
BUT THE REASON FOR IT IS
BECAUSE --
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOUR KIDS
FEEL ABOUT YOU?
>> MY KIDS THINK I'M A DOPE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKE ME HAPPY.
MY KIDS ACTUALLY THINK I'M THE
COOLEST DAD ON THE PLANET.
IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'RE COOL AND YOUR KIDS ARE,
LIKE, SHUT UP, DAD, AND YOU'RE
NOT COOL.
BUT MY KIDS THINK I'M COOL.
MY DAD HAS A LOT TO DO WITH
THAT.
THE MISTAKES MY DAD MADE, THE
DECISION TO DO DRUGS AND MANY IF
AND OUT OF JAIL AND OUR LIVES, I
SAW FIRST HAND WHATNOT BEING
PRESENT DID AND I KNOW WHAT
BEING PRESENT MEANS AND WHAT
EFFECT IT CAN DO CAN AND THE
EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON YOUR
CHILD COMING UP.
I CHOOSE TO GO POSITIVE INSTEAD
OF NEGATIVE AND BECAUSE OF THAT
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD IS
AMAZING NOW AND MY DAD
UNDERSTANDS HOW I FEEL AND HOW I
LOOK AT THINGS AND MY DAD IS
FOCUSING ON BEING THE BEST
GRANDPARENT THAT HE POSSIBLY
CAN.
>> Stephen: YOU WAND AND THE
YOUR DAD HAVE GOTTEN BACK
TOGETHER AND HEALED YOUR
RELATIONSHIP?
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.
>> BUT YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES
TO HOLD AN ATTITUDE AND GRUDGE?
THAT'S TIME AND ENERGY.
THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO GO I
DON'T LIKE THAT PERSON AND KEEP
THAT IN YOU IS A LOT OF TIME
THAT CAN BE DEVOTED TO BE
POSITIVE.
>> Stephen: NELSON MANDELA
SAID HOLDING A GRUDGE IS LIKE
DRINKING POISON AND THINKING IT
WILL KILL THE OTHER PERSON.
>> FIRST OFF, THAT'S AMAZING AND
I'MED OFF THAT I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT.
THAT WAS A REAL BAD MOMENT FOR
ME AS A BLACK MAN.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T KNOW
EVERYTHING EVERY BLACK MAN SAID.
>> NO, BUT YOU SAID, YOU KNOW
WHAT NELSON MANDELA SAID -- AND
I WAS, LIKE, OH, (BLEEP), I
DIDN'T KNOW.
THAT WAS TOUGH.
THAT WAS TOUGH RIGHT THERE IS
THAT I'M SO SORRY.
YOU SAID YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF
LIFE LESSONS FROMOUT PEOPLE IN
HOLLYWOOD.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU WANT TO BE THE
GUY WHO PASSES IT DOWN.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU LEARN A LOT OF
THINGS FROM PEOPLE YOU DID
PROJECTS WITH.
ANY PARTICULAR PEOPLE WHO GAVE
YOU LESSONS ON THE SET OR --
LIKE YOU DID -- WHAT DID YOU
DO -- YOU DID SOUL PLAYING WITH
SNOOP.
DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM
SNOOP?
>> YEAH, I LEARNED YOU SHOULDN'T
SMOKE OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT.
YEAH.
THAT'S A TRUE STORY.
YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: THAT'S HARD NOT TO
WITH SNOOP.
>> WELL, THERE IS A POINT WITH
SNOOP YOU JUST HAD TO GO, WHERE
ARE WE TRYING TO GET TO?
LIKE, WHAT'S THE END GAME?
WHEN DOES IT STOP?
LITERALLY, IT JUST DOESN'T STOP.
AND I WAS, LIKE, AT THIS POINT,
MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND SOMETHING
ELSE, BECAUSE THIS -- I DON'T
THINK THIS IS THE HIGH YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, MAN!
PEOPLE ARE DEAD.
LIKE, EVERYBODY ELSE IS DEAD.
>> Stephen: EVERYBODY'S OUT
AND HE'S STILL DRIVING ON.
>> AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE TALKING
TO YOURSELF.
LIKE, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
TALKING.
SO I THINK FOR SNOOP, MAN, IT
WAS A LOT OF THINGS.
IF I SAW SNOOP OVER THERE, HE'S,
LIKE, COME SMOKE WITH YOUR
UNCLE, I'M GOING TO SAY I HAVE
ASTHMA.
I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING.
I'M NOT GOING OVER THERE.
I DID IT ONCE AND IT DIDN'T END
WELL.
I THINK I HONESTLY -- LIKE, I'M
NOT A DRUG GUY.
I KNOW WHAT MY DAD DID AND THE
CONSEQUENCES OF IT, BUT SNOOP,
THIS WAS A LEGENDARY MOMENT, YOU
GOT TO SMOKE WITH SNOOP IF YOU
GET A CHANCE.
I HAVE TO SAY, DON'T DO DRUGS,
BUT IF YOU DO DO IT, DO IT WITH
SNOOP.
( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: QUALITY, NOT
QUANTITY.
>> QUALITY.
I SMOKE WITH SNOOP.
I THINK I WAS HIGH FOR THREE
WEEKS.
>> Stephen: TOTALLY DON'T EVER
GET ON WILLIE NELSON'S BUS.
>> NEVER!
>> Stephen: THIS BOOK ENDS
WITH YOU SAYING GO FORTH AND
PROSPER.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHICH SOUNDS LIKE
THE END OF A CHURCH SERVICE, GO
FORTH AND PROSPER.
WILL THIS BOOK MAKE PEOPLE RICH?
IF THEY READ THIS BOOK, WILL
THEY HAVE A PROSPEROUS LIFE?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IS A
DIFFERENT ATTITUDE IN YOUR
APPROACH TO BECOMING PROSPEROUS.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BOOK WILL DO.
THIS BOOK WILL SIMPLY MAKE YOU
STAY TRUE TO YOUR DREAM.
IT WILL MAKE YOU BE DETERMINED
TO FIND THE SUCCESSFUL VERSION
OF YOURSELF.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT
PEOPLE TO BE BETTER.
THAT'S WHY I'M SHARING THIS
INFORMATION.
I DON'T WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL BY
MYSELF.
THERE IS ENOUGH SUCCESS IN THE
WORLD FOR EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET
A PIECE.
I THINK IF EVERYBODY ADAPTS THAT
MINDSET, THAT OUR WORLD WILL
ULTIMATELY BECOME A BETTER
PLACE.
ATES CRAB IN A BARREL MENTALITY
NOW AND IT TAKES PEOPLE TO SPEAK
UP ABOUT BEING POSITIVE AND
BRINGING PEOPLE CLOSE TOGETHER
AND THAT'S WHAT I DO, MAN.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS A CRAB IN
A BARREL MENTALITY?
>> A CRAB IN A BARREL.
YOU PUT A BUNCH OF CRABS IN A
BEFORE REEL, EVERY CRAB THAT
TRIES TO CLIMB OUT OF THE
BARREL, THERE'S ANOTHER CRAB
THAT'S GOING TO GRAB THE CRAB
AND PULL HIM BACK IN.
EVENTUALLY NO CRABS GET OUT OF
THE BARREL BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL
PULLING EACH OTHER DOWN TRYING
TO GET TO THE TOP.
NO CRAB IS HELPING.
HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT?
>> Stephen: BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
READ YOUR DAMN BOOK YET.
( LAUGHTER )
KEVIN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
"I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP" GOES ON
SALE TOMORROW!
GO FORTH AND PROSPER!
KEVIN HART, EVERYBODY!
BACK WITH ALI WENTWORTH!
