00:00Season one was cool jazz.

00:01Season two was more like an insecure jazz.

00:04Season three is a little bit of both,

00:06but more about like who he is as a person

00:09outside of the relationship.

00:10That's awesome.

00:11That's awesome.

00:13Yeah!

00:14Yeah!

00:15For Lisa, what do you think,

00:16what are we gonna see from her this season?

00:17For Lisa this season,

00:18we're gonna see a lot more fun.

00:20I feel like everyone is having their like

00:21character building moments

00:22and Lisa's having a great time

00:25with a few obstacles,

00:27but knowing that they could get out stronger

00:32is really wholesome and fun.

00:34We're gonna have summer a lot.

00:36You guys are gonna be very excited

00:37for what I got planned.

00:41Seems you got a lot of free time.

00:42You might want to pick up some hours

00:44at the country club.

00:45Why?

00:46You could use a job too.

00:47Wait, what?

00:48Welcome to the pit.

00:53Summer is the season of change.

00:55And it's time to level up.

00:57Your family is like perfection.

01:00I don't want our fairy tale to end.

01:05The last two seasons,

01:07there's some ups and downs with Will and Lisa.

01:12Yeah.

01:13Why do you think this,

01:16there's a strength behind these two characters.

01:18Why do you think this passion,

01:19this love is so strong, you know, these two?

01:22I mean, through the ups and downs,

01:24I think Lisa's passion is so strong

01:27because I just feel like they find a little home

01:30in each other, which is beautiful to see,

01:34especially they feel like kind of not at home

01:37in their home in different ways.

01:39And so finding a familiarity

01:41and just sparking each other.

01:44And I think that's fun.

01:46You, you're, you're jasper level headed.

01:49And maybe not when it comes to Hillary.

01:51What happens there?

01:53I think that just shows like human nature.

01:55I mean, you know, you see people in certain settings

01:58and they seem indestructible

02:00and then you find out their weaknesses, honestly.

02:03I just feel like he has a certain love.

02:06I feel like he has just a certain love for Hillary

02:09that certain flaws come out, like insecurities,

02:14just wanting to do certain things

02:15that maybe he financially can't even do

02:17or make her happy with.

02:19And having someone else on the side

02:22that she was dealing with makes him insecure.

02:24So I think that's.

02:27Do we gonna see a work on some of these flaws in season three?

02:29Oh yeah, for sure.

02:30I think that season three is, you know,

02:32like I've said this several times,

02:34but like season one was cool jazz.

02:36Season two was more like an insecure jazz.

02:38Season three is a little bit of both,

02:40but more about like who he is as a person

02:43outside of the relationship.

02:47Yeah.

02:48Yeah.

02:49Season three for Lisa, what do you think?

02:50What are we gonna see from her this season?

02:53For Lisa this season, we're gonna see a lot more fun.

02:54I feel like everyone is having

02:55their like character building moments

02:57and Lisa's having a great time with a few obstacles,

03:01but knowing that they could get out stronger

03:06is really wholesome and fun.

03:09What's it like having the big man Will Smith here

03:10with you guys today and kind of doing this with you?

03:13Ew.

03:14Having Will Smith here is a lot, a dream.

03:18I literally sat next to him earlier and I was like.

03:20Yeah, like also what's so cool is that he's so,

03:24not to be cliche, but he's so down to earth.

03:27So he's just a cool guy to just like chat with and.

03:31Even outside of work settings.

03:32Yeah.

03:33He's like really that guy.

03:34He's really that guy.

03:35This honestly, like that's such a broad question.

03:37Like we could be sitting here for days.

03:39So that's why it's like I have nothing to say

03:41because I actually have so much to say,

03:43but it's been a pleasure.

03:44It's been a blessing because he obviously

03:46doesn't have to be here, you know?

03:48And how humble and egoless to share his story.

03:53Yeah.

03:54And his like phenomenal start.

03:57Yes, with us.

03:59What?

03:59And be like, okay, you guys got it.

04:01Right.

04:02And he's not too like overbearing.

04:03Like this is how I want it written.

04:05This is what I want.

04:06Right.

04:07No dude.

04:08He's so easygoing and such a good person.

04:09Not to gas him too much,

04:11but like he's literally one of my idols

04:12when it comes to acting.

04:14Just because he is just so versatile, you know?

04:18He's not a comedian.

04:20He's very funny, Fresh Prince.

04:22He's not just an action star,

04:23but he has all of those, you know, drama.

04:27I said sci-fi.

04:29Every genre.

04:29And as a musician.

04:30Yeah, dude.

04:31I have lost and found back to front memories.

04:34Man.

04:35What?

04:36Dude.

04:36And like, you can't just box this dude in.

04:3834 years since the premiere of Fresh Prince.

04:42Man, man.

04:43When were you guys 34 years ago?

04:45Not even thought of.

04:46Heaven.

04:48Not even thought of at all.

04:49Nope.

04:51I was, yeah, I was gonna say a thought.

04:53No, not even a thought.

04:53Not even, not even.

04:54No one even thought of it.

04:55Nah.

04:56A soul.

04:57Yeah, I was something.

04:58Something, something.

05:00This is the sportiest answer of them all.

05:02We've been soul.

05:03What were you guys?

05:04Something.

05:05Something.

05:06Last question.

05:07Why do you think Bel Air resonates so much

05:09within the Black community?

05:10I think Bel Air resonates with the Black community

05:13because it shows us authentically.

05:16And in a fun, cool, raw light.

05:18It's not, we've grown up or, you know,

05:22seeing 2D versions of ourselves all the time.

05:26And so to have people, white people just be people.

05:31It's actually beautiful, but also kind of sad

05:33that the bar is very low.

05:35Yeah.

05:36But it's gorgeous.

05:38But it's gorgeous to have, to be a part of a renaissance

05:41of Black cinema.

05:45And I think we add to that beautifully.
