112
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,679

116
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I was telling you back to say take care of

117
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: your people. Because what we didn't know, you know Steve

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: already I didn't know at the time, was that we

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, I started this in Houston, Texas in nineteen

120
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: ninety seven just as a I was a sidekick on

121
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: the radio show. And then what happened was Steve came,

122
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: we got the radio gig in La. He said, we shan,

123
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: did you uhould do that hoodie war thing? I think

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: I got to be big, And you know, I would

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: never as a as an individual, I could never just

126
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: go to the radio station.

127
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: But Steve was big enough to say, let's do this,

128
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: let's do that.

129
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: I gotta give credit what credit is due and they

130
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: wouldn't know, and they sold it, and we sold the idea.

131
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: We would to Vegas several times with the Forum several

132
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: times and then we went back to Vegas. And so

133
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: when you when you talk about it, you know, because

134
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: what I didn't see coming was how it affected the business,

135
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: how enabled you can talk about how the Hoody Awards

136
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: affected you guys with all that promotions.

137
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: Steve Holland it out on them. Here's the nominees, here's

138
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: the nominees. Here's the top four, here's the top four.

139
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Talk about that.

140
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: I mean, the pride that it. I mean, it's like

141
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: people still to this day just talk about when it

142
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: was time to vote the first vote in the second vote,

143
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: and how geniuses was the way y'all put that together

144
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: to have the first vote in the second vote. But

145
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: then the pride of bringing people together and people just

146
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: wanting to be part of that. And then when you

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: win and bring it home. Man, it's like in the neighborhood,

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, winning the national championship. You know,

149
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: everybody want to come and so many people would wait

150
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: to hear if you won. And I mean, I mean,

151
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 3: we had customers cry when we lost.

152
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

153
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: And uh, it's that I mean because like I said,

154
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 3: you don't have that much Like I said, you don't

155
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: have that many shows that do that especially. I mean,

156
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: we barely got enough for real celebrities that they give

157
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: prompts to to have, you know, the normal hard work

158
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: and people trying to run their businesses and all that,

159
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: doing their thing and getting award and and like I said,

160
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: getting award from Sally Sally Richards and George Wallace and

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: the people I met backstage and just the whole thing, man,

162
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: is incredible. Man. I mean, it was a It was

163
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: a real beautiful time, man. And it's just the pride

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: that it brings and in the customers that you get.

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: If you notice everything that I do, every show that

166
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: I say that I do, they say about winning the

167
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: Hoodie Award, no matter what they always say in Canada,

168
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: Australia and whatever. Like the lady told the Woody, I said,

169
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: it's the hoodie you know all over I always gee

170
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: a proper man. Because, like I said, that was just

171
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: a real exciting time man.

172
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: It was real, you know, and thank you, you know,

173
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: because of the fact that the whole idea man, was

174
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: to celebrate the real stars of the community. That was

175
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: the basis of the Movie Awards in the Neighborhood Awards.

176
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Because of the fact that and my whole thought was that, Okay,

177
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: instead of have the celebrities being recognized for honor, let's

178
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: use the celebrities. It's almost like props to get people there,

179
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: because you know, if we said that we were just gonna

180
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: be doing best barbecue, best high school, would't nobody show up?

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: But you got Steve Lovinholst, and you got the Sally

00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: up one year, Magic Johnson showed up.

185
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: When you get all these people, people going whoa, whoa,

186
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: what's going on here? What's going on here?

187
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: And this will allow us to be back like like

00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,160

189
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: The wars, in the greenroom with them, you know, having cocktails.

Speaker 3: or whatever, going inside getting ready to call in and

194
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: walking inside that arena, man, that was like.

00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: That was that was that was major?

Speaker 3: Did that was?

197
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,040

202
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: worst thing in the world, man.

203
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: Is for us as black people, you know, to say

204

Speaker 2: And you did, and you did.

299
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,720

300
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: couple of times Bloodsos was the only one in. I

301
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,000

303
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,480

Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like you know, because you're absolutely right,

307
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,720

363
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: And I just try to. I just try to keep

364
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: that going at every spot that we got, you know,

365
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: and and like I say, just knowing incredible people like

366
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: you and and and and it's so funny you bring

367
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: up because I had a discussion about that with a

368
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: younger guy who just opening up the spot, and he

369
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: was saying, you know, say, you know, uh, sometimes celebrities

370
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: come in and uh this and that, this and that.

371
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: I said, let me just tell you one thing. I

372
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: don't care who they are, whatever whatever, you give them

373
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: that option, because celebrities are different. Some of them are

374
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: just like you who like I want to pay some

375
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: of them don't, you know, but you being you need

376
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: you need them more than they need you. And like

377
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: on any field, you got cool people and you got uh,

378
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: you know, people who's tripping or whatever whatever. But that's

379
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: on you to understand that. But a celebrity coming in

380
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: there's going to look out for your business. But you

381
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: have to respect, just like they respect your work as

382
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: a chef, and they come to your spot, you have

383
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: to respect they work like these people don't want to

384
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: deal with people sometimes, but they take the time to

385
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 3: come come to you and come to your spot. And

386
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: sometimes us as business owners have to really quick speaking

387
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: on people's pocketbooks and all that. And one tweet are

388
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: some of the like when you talk about free advertisements

389
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: or are some of the stuff that you do? I

390
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 3: can never pay for that right right?

391
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: Because I post every tidy. I posted post a couple

392

00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: She said, my daddy, if you knew the work my daddy,

621
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: it was called my Daddy's not overnight success. My daddy

622
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: would come in at three four in the morning. I

623
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: would just hope my father got at least one hour

624
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: of sleep, and I know he didn't. My Daddy's not

625
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: an overnight success. And they got to know everybody's path

626
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 3: is not gonna be that way, you know. But it's tough,

627
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: especially when you and I would and I know you know,

628
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: when you know money making conversations. I would tell anybody

629
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: if you can, please have the money and the back

630
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 3: end to start because when you start on a shoe

631
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: string budget, that's why a lot of them don't make it,

632
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: because you need that. And us as a community, that's

633
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: why we need our own banks and we need because

634
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: we can't these younger they can't get the loans. You know.

635
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: They want you to be experienced to get a small

636
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: businessman loan, but you you need the small businessman loan

637
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: to get going, you know, right, They and they and

638
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: they have to understand that. Then as you grow, get

639
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: get you know, get with a good team. I have

640
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: a good team behind me. There's no way I could

641
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: do what I'm doing if I didn't have the team

642
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: that I have working, you know with with you know,

643
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,640

00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: get to you straight, to get on the braid, to

646
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: get in those conversations that we need to be in

647
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: so we can have a voice, you know. And that's

648
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: the whole thing. You have to have a good team, man,

649
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: and you got to trust the team. You might be

650
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: the quarterback, but you need.

Speaker 1: tell people, I've been doing this since all eighteen years old.

667
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: For some reason, God just just said this is what

668
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: you do. You uplift people. You don't when somebody's behind you,

669
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: you don't run off and leave them. You extend on

670
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: right hand. And that's what the Neighborhood Awards is. That's

671
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: what the Hoodie Awards was. And to see you have

672
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: such a reaction in it, and there's a lot of

682
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: especially during these time and black unrest.

683
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: Because we got to go out there and vote.

684
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: We got to register to vote, and I'm voting in person,

685
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,840

690
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, a business, you want to graduate,

691
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: you want to be in a relationship for a long term.

692
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: It's hard work. It's hard work, and voting is hard.

693
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: If you got stand in that line, if it's raining,

694
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: if it's storming, standing that line, because if that don't

695
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: make a change, it's going to be a four more

696
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: years of a life that would never be good, especially

697
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: for people who aren't making it. And I'm going to

698
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: just talk about you know, we've crossed a little line there, Kevin.

699
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: We can survive the ignorance. I'm not there.

700
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: But see again, if I'm making it and my people

701
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: ain't making it, then I'm not making it.

702
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 3: That's right. You ain't making it because that's a burden,

703
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: you know. And I always say too, and I know

704
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: we rapping, But it wasn't that long ago when we

705
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: talk about standing in lines. I' me and my son

706
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: was at play football at Utah. He called me one

707
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: day and he was just upset and he was like Dad,

708
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: he was one to sixty five. I said, yeah, Mark.

709
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: He said the Voters Act was made Junal whatever. Since

710
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: I said yeah, whatever it was. He said, so when

711
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: you was born, black people couldn't vote. I said no.

712
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: So he said, my granting them couldn't vote. I said no,

713
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: and it hit home with them, like he knows people.

714
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: He couldn't believe that he knew black people that couldn't

715
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: vote at the time, right, And if people don't think

716
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: certain things can happen again. Like I tell people all

717
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: the time, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, theory of ferist

718
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: or whatever I said. But when they came to and

719
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: got them brothers from Africa for slavery, I said, they

720
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: were living normal lives.

721
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: Yes, they were normal life.

722
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: I said, Please look at the big picture on everything.

723
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: Please look at people trying to line up with Russia

724
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: and things like that. Just always look at the big picture, man,

725
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: and get out there and vote. Man, it's this I

726
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: never thought we would be to this time again, and

727
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: we are. And if this don't bring us all together,

728
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: and like I said, you can't say certain things aren't different,

729
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: because I mean, I was in LA for the ninety

730
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: two rides, you know what I mean. You know brothers

731
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 3: and Hispanics out there. But now who's out there now?

732
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: It's white, black Hispanic together. And like I said, maybe

733
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: not in all lifetime, but I feel like once you

734
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: have kids, ain't novice about maybe in the lifetime and

735
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: a lifetime after that, racism might not exist no more,

736
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And that's what I try

737
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: to work forwards. Man.
