Speaker 1: What's up his slip service. I'm Anela Yee.
Speaker 2: I'm jj maguire, I'm Jordie dor And I'm Julian Horton.
Speaker 1: Julian Horton.
Speaker 3: And you may know him because we've all been watching
Speaker 3: the number one series.
Speaker 1: On Netflix, Beauty and Black.
Speaker 3: Yes, man, and you played a character of Roy. Yes,
Speaker 3: I did, and he did make sure that we knew
Speaker 3: right away.
Speaker 2: I am not I am not Roy.
Speaker 4: I am not Roy. I am not Roy at all. Actually,
Speaker 4: I'm kind of am a little bit by the same time,
Speaker 4: not as mean as you know, So.
Speaker 1: Are you kind of what do you mean a little bit?
Speaker 4: Well, he's an actor.
Speaker 5: You have to have, you know, some commonalities within your
Speaker 5: character so you can bring that to life because if
Speaker 5: you see Roy, Roy is not super villain, you know,
Speaker 5: because sometimes he's funny, he's sly, he's kind of idiot,
Speaker 5: kind of just stupid sometimes.
Speaker 4: And that's what I brought to the character.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not him, That's what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm not him just that part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did you study for that part?
Speaker 4: Yeah? For sure, but not that that was it was amazing.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm glad to be here.
Speaker 3: By the way, too, is it is it fun playing
Speaker 3: this villain character?
Speaker 4: It is? It is.
Speaker 5: I think you know when when Tyler was I mean
Speaker 5: when it was announced that he was doing a Netflix
Speaker 5: series and when it came across my agent's desk, I
Speaker 5: saw this character Roy, and they wanted me to play
Speaker 5: this Roy. He was like thirties, young black wild card,
Speaker 5: just kind of a you know, asshole character. They wanted
Speaker 5: me to play other characters and audition for other roles,
Speaker 5: but I was so set on playing this guy because
Speaker 5: I knew he would just be just out of this
Speaker 5: world kind of just being a wild card and being
Speaker 5: like talked about and setting the tone for the show.
Speaker 4: So I didn't even audition bring rules.
Speaker 1: You were like, this is the one.
Speaker 5: My attention on it. I pray to God about it.
Speaker 5: And it was a grueling process to get in, the
Speaker 5: ruling process to it. Took a month to get it,
Speaker 5: back and forth, back and forth, and then finally you know,
Speaker 5: I have some time. You know I got it.
Speaker 3: That's scary because you're also like so close back and forth,
Speaker 3: and you know you're like in the running.
Speaker 1: You're like, who else? Yes for this role?
Speaker 2: Did you know who you were?
Speaker 4: I didn't know.
Speaker 5: I didn't know until a little later, And it wasn't
Speaker 5: as crazy as I thought it was. It was more
Speaker 5: inside information stuff. But yeah, it wasn't as crazy as
Speaker 5: I thought, because at first I thought it was like, Yo,
Speaker 5: we got damn s Michael bi going for this role
Speaker 5: because Netflix and stuff.
Speaker 4: But I learned that it was. No, it wasn't like that. Tyler.
Speaker 4: Actually he works a little bit differently, and.
Speaker 1: You've worked in him, so he also does like to
Speaker 1: keep his people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's when that's what I'm going on. I
Speaker 4: don't want to, you know, Yeah, but that's what it
Speaker 4: really kind of was.
Speaker 5: And then you know, some people say, oh, this is
Speaker 5: too crazy for me, I can't do this role, and
Speaker 5: you know, and another personally, I ain't.
Speaker 4: Doing that, and then me, I didn't give a shit,
Speaker 4: so I just did it.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think playing the villain is probably
Speaker 1: kind of more fun.
Speaker 4: It's fun.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you the issue that Gigi had,
Speaker 3: because no, Gg, you tell us the issue that you had.
Speaker 6: The issue that I had with the show in general
Speaker 6: had really nothing to do with your care. I come
Speaker 6: from the entertainment background of the exotic Ladies of the Night.
Speaker 1: You know Magic City exact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to Jujiu. I was just there last night.
Speaker 6: And the way that they make the club and it's
Speaker 6: so rough, it's so mean, it's so cutthroat, it's so
Speaker 6: just raunchy, and it was the.
Speaker 2: Whole pimp aspect.
Speaker 6: Put the club own theer being a pimp or whatever,
Speaker 6: and everybody owes him money and they made the girl
Speaker 6: get the butt shots and just just like you know,
Speaker 6: I have a problem with the wage strip is seen
Speaker 6: through television and movies and.
Speaker 2: It's it's when it makes us look bad. You get
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: So love the show, but that's the only part that
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, like that.
Speaker 2: Like even like the v I p with them, like
Speaker 2: having sex on top.
Speaker 4: Of the car, like that was crazy.
Speaker 2: In Atlanta, that was that pitches, don't we want to.
Speaker 4: Cut you off?
Speaker 5: But we don't know about these things exactly as a
Speaker 5: as an actor, I didn't know this stuff was going on.
Speaker 6: Like that part was like I was like, come on, now,
Speaker 6: you're all going too far.
Speaker 7: Maria went too far.
Speaker 2: But you know, that's the only thing that I feel
Speaker 2: like it was.
Speaker 1: Like a stereotype.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because it makes people think that that's what
Speaker 6: really goes down.
Speaker 2: And then in the return they look at us.
Speaker 3: Like GC has some news about Magic City. Go ahead,
Speaker 3: because we are toasting, celebrating while we're.
Speaker 2: At it City.
Speaker 1: Keep my toasting, Julian, you know, cheers.

Speaker 1: Okay, that was that was more.
Speaker 4: If I did go to strip club, I didn't go
Speaker 4: often very.
Speaker 6: Sparingly daytime nighttime, because that was two different clubs. It
Speaker 6: was Follies in the daytime and Fillies in the nighttime.
Speaker 6: Was not the same difference. Cool you live whatever its
Speaker 6: in the day's the night was great though.
Speaker 2: On a Sunday too.

Speaker 1: we always going.
Speaker 7: To be Hose?
Speaker 4: I mean shining around.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of truth, no I'm playing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit truth.
Speaker 1: Of that part too, But you get delete your wholeness.
Speaker 6: You can't delete your wholeness, but when it's in you
Speaker 6: can you not. But when it's in you, it ain't
Speaker 6: hard to.
Speaker 2: Reignite the whole.
Speaker 6: I feel like there is an expiration on wholeness. There
Speaker 6: is an expert expliration on things that you've done. But
Speaker 6: when you got that little hole in you, itchy, scratchy,
Speaker 6: you know, it ain't hard to bring her out. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the price is right a bitch, just mic, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So I like this show.
Speaker 2: Cheers for that said that.
Speaker 1: Was a classic.
Speaker 3: I remember the first episode and she's like, don't get no,
Speaker 3: Scotland were always going to be Hose.
Speaker 1: I was like, what damn hilarious. We cannot be hose
Speaker 1: no more.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, and in some form or another.
Speaker 3: So for you, having played football for seventeen years is right,
Speaker 3: and also professionally in the NFL.
Speaker 1: What got you more attention? Football? Are acting?
Speaker 4: Definitely this acting? I mean because I played in the SEC.
Speaker 5: I went to the universe of Arkansas, so you know,
Speaker 5: we got a lot of attention in a local.
Speaker 4: Sense of the word.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, because you play Arkansas, get
Speaker 5: the football player, Julie and all that ship.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, nothing compared to.
Speaker 1: This, nothing, right, you know what I mean. It's a
Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 4: Show, is it's it's it's it's crazy. I went to
Speaker 4: check my back. It's up.
Speaker 5: Really, I'm like, man, this early in the morning, it
Speaker 5: was up, bro, how you doing? The person I sat
Speaker 5: next to the airport today, shout out Joe. You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Shout out Joe. He was so cool, man.
Speaker 4: It was like, Yo, what's up? Bro? I was like,
Speaker 4: what's up? Man?
Speaker 3: You should have been like based on.
Speaker 5: But this, this show right here though, is crazy because
Speaker 5: I knew it was going to go crazy to that,
Speaker 5: because you know, I've been acting for nine years now,
Speaker 5: it's going to my ninth year, and I've done other projects, movies,
Speaker 5: TV shows and things of that nature, and some good yeah,
Speaker 5: some good movies too, Oscar winners and Emmy winners, stuff
Speaker 5: that you would think that would get the notoriety that
Speaker 5: it needed to just really like expand my career the
Speaker 5: way it needed to. But in today's day and today's climate, though,
Speaker 5: it's like it's just a blip of just a blip
Speaker 5: of notoriety and some likes.
Speaker 4: Some congratulations, bro, you're in a movie, nigga whatever, whatever.
Speaker 5: But it's crazy because I did a movie called National
Speaker 5: Champions in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4: JK.
Speaker 5: Simmons, he got Uzo Aduba, Stephan James, you got all
Speaker 5: these well known and talking about some great actors and actresses.
Speaker 4: We did the movie. It comes out in theaters. It
Speaker 4: didn't do well in theaters, but it was on streaming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was on streaming and stuff too. But it
Speaker 5: hit the theaters and I told people about it. I
Speaker 5: promoted it because I'm you know, I promote my shit
Speaker 5: a lot. I promoted it and then you know, a
Speaker 5: couple of people saw it. A couple of people.
Speaker 4: Then like two years later, my dad out of randomly
Speaker 4: at midnight said, yo, son, National Champions on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, you.
Speaker 5: Get the fuck out of here. He said, you know,
Speaker 5: it's really on that Flix. So I went to Netflix
Speaker 5: real quick. The National Champions had just hit Netflix. So
Speaker 5: once I started promoting that it was on Netflix, everyone
Speaker 5: started hitting me up.
Speaker 4: They're watching it, they're watching it, they're watching.
Speaker 5: It, sitting me photos, sending me videos of me being
Speaker 5: in the movie. And that's when I knew, right there
Speaker 5: and there, I said, you know what, I really just
Speaker 5: want to do Netflix because in today's because like really
Speaker 5: today you can create traction for real, because really it
Speaker 5: really depends on what streaming service you're on.
Speaker 4: Because even like let's say a show like Hijacked.
Speaker 5: I don't know, if you seen that elba is on
Speaker 5: Apple TV, if that was on Netflix, that'd be one
Speaker 5: of the most talked about shows.
Speaker 1: Me, you're right about that, because when I want to
Speaker 1: watch something, the first thing I.
Speaker 3: Go to Netflix exactly, and I have because I have
Speaker 3: subscriptions to do a lot of things. But for Netflix
Speaker 3: does a great job. Because I saw National Champions when
Speaker 3: that was on, they promoted you it's like suggestions for you,
Speaker 3: you know, and they're there movies today it's just easy
Speaker 3: Ton the Gate. And then when you see that, you're like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 3: that looks interesting, I'm gonna watch that.
Speaker 4: Everything.
Speaker 5: So when I saw that, I was just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm just I was just putting my intention only want
Speaker 5: to do Netflix. I only want to do Netflix. And
Speaker 5: then this came along, and then I was like, Tyler
Speaker 5: Perry's first Netflix series, You're gonna go crazy.
Speaker 4: It's gonna go crazy and an understatement I'm telling you.
Speaker 5: And then just really just like knowing what the show
Speaker 5: is about and the way TP wrote it. I think
Speaker 5: the show has so many elements of everyone's guilty pleasures.
Speaker 5: You got a rich black family, you got the stript
Speaker 5: club scene. You got a nigga doing coke and drugs.
Speaker 5: You got a nigga doing the prostitution.
Speaker 1: Thing, you got.
Speaker 4: You got dead got dead body, you got stuff for
Speaker 4: the gays, the people.
Speaker 1: It's it's just everything.
Speaker 4: Show, religion, religion.
Speaker 5: So it's like everything that's like really in black culture
Speaker 5: is depicted in this show.
Speaker 4: One gets a little bit of what they want. I'm
Speaker 4: telling you exactly that. It's just everything everything in it
Speaker 4: is crazy. And it's just like, once I write the
Speaker 4: script and once I.
Speaker 5: Just seen in the cast and the camaraderie that we
Speaker 5: had and the actress that we had, I'm just I
Speaker 5: just knew that was gonna be crazy. So to that question,
Speaker 5: this right here is yeah, this is the most attention
Speaker 5: because every day I get stopped.
Speaker 4: Now every day, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Every craziest thing someone said to you on the street, I.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't say that the craziest thing, well, the dopest thing
Speaker 5: has happened to me.
Speaker 4: I went to, oh, damn, man, I gotta admit this
Speaker 4: on you.
Speaker 5: You know what, I admit it right here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is nuts.
Speaker 5: Anyways, Well sorry, I'm gonna goof fall sometimes. You know,
Speaker 5: this is crazy.
Speaker 4: God is great the fact I'm here anyways, I know
Speaker 4: I can't stop. It's crazy.
Speaker 5: So I went to a little lounge in l a
Speaker 5: because that should have commercial there last week.
Speaker 4: And you know, I went around seven.
Speaker 5: O'clock that when I was I was bored in the
Speaker 5: hotel room. I was like, I need to get out
Speaker 5: and I just want to go, you know, I have
Speaker 5: a drink or something.
Speaker 4: Right, So then he's like, yo, bro, ain't gonna lie
Speaker 4: to your family. It ain't really little Poppy. He ain't
Speaker 4: bopping in there right now. FAM, I say, it's all right, Bro,
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm chilling, Bro. He was all right for sure.
Speaker 4: Where you from? Fam, I said, from Atlanta? You know
Speaker 4: it's like what you're doing out here?
Speaker 5: Fam, I said, shooting the commercial and ship Bro shooting commercial,
Speaker 5: that's what that's what's up, Bro, You're an actor. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm an actor, Bro, an actor. I was actually matter
Speaker 5: of fact, Bro actually got a number one show a
Speaker 5: Netflix from not called Beating Black.
Speaker 4: You should watch it. He said, Nigga, no way, I said,
Speaker 4: we're talking about I said, what we're talking about? Nigga
Speaker 4: no way?
Speaker 5: He said, I'm on episode six right now. I said,
Speaker 5: you want episode six? I'm like, who you play? I said,
Speaker 5: the nigga that be talking crazy Bro, who were doing
Speaker 5: the cocaine and ship.
Speaker 4: Whatever whatever, And he was like, no, no way.
Speaker 5: Then everyone started coming out the club and stuff, but
Speaker 5: no where you know where you're playing it? And then
Speaker 5: they brought it up and they were like here, they're like,
Speaker 5: no getting free now, let me in.
Speaker 4: Free and ship and all my friends free. So that
Speaker 4: was like one of the like cool things that have happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and.
Speaker 3: Then after that they're gonna be giving you free battles,
Speaker 3: and after that they're gonna pay you and then give
Speaker 3: you free battles.
Speaker 2: We are highly anticipated Part two.
Speaker 1: I know what. We gotta wait till next spring.
Speaker 4: Next spring?
Speaker 3: Do you know do they give you any idea or
Speaker 3: do you not know what's going to happen till you
Speaker 3: get the script or do you get it?
Speaker 4: Well, think about it. We already finished it. We shot
Speaker 4: sixteen episodes.
Speaker 2: Y'all, Tyler Perry, go in and don't come out until
Speaker 2: it's over.
Speaker 4: We shot sixteen episodes.
Speaker 5: And the thing about it is, I didn't know how
Speaker 5: TP was gonna release it, saying he did the eight
Speaker 5: and then you know, he dropped the second eight. But
Speaker 5: usually on Netflix, I know, like Outer Banks, Stranger Things,
Speaker 5: you know, these big shows, they do the two part
Speaker 5: thing now, but it's usually like a two week wait,
Speaker 5: like Outer Banks has dropped like three weeks ago. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they did the five episodes and then they gonna come
Speaker 5: back with the next five. So I was thinking we
Speaker 5: were going to do something like that too, until I
Speaker 5: got to the end of the goddamn serious and damn, I'm.
Speaker 4: Not mad at it.
Speaker 1: Though I'm mad at it, I'm not mad. We need
Speaker 1: to see you.
Speaker 6: Listen, Spring twenty twenty five will be watching Beauty and
Speaker 6: Black on Netflix, and we'll be watching an American fantasy
Speaker 6: on Stars.
Speaker 1: I've had a real question to ask all of y'all.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, So let's just say, because this happened
Speaker 3: in Beauty and Black, this is kind of lays down
Speaker 3: the groundwork. Let's just say, your significant other runs over
Speaker 3: and kills someone with their car.
Speaker 1: Are you going to cover it up?
Speaker 3: Or do you feel a responsibility because it feels like
Speaker 3: at some point it has to come out right. And
Speaker 3: it also feels like she's kind of put it on
Speaker 3: Roy like it set it up so that she feels
Speaker 3: like because we did run the person over to is
Speaker 3: she did like this.
Speaker 1: Said they were doing the meaning with it breaks there,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Already upside.
Speaker 3: Anyway, let me ask y'all, what would you do in
Speaker 3: that scenario though? Would you cover for your significant other
Speaker 3: or would you be like, we have to go and like.
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing.
Speaker 7: Did I hit the body first?
Speaker 3: No choice? But like anybody kills somebody, he don't like
Speaker 3: it anyway, but I'm anyway, but he.
Speaker 2: Didn't know at the time.
Speaker 3: Let's just say it was somebody who you did care
Speaker 3: about and love. But you also know that you can
Speaker 3: get in serious trouble for not telling.
Speaker 1: Y'all.
Speaker 3: Could both you know, end up going to jail? What
Speaker 3: would you do in real life? I'm a right, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're not telling.
Speaker 2: Jordan.
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm telling, but.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: It really depends on my partner.
Speaker 1: But if you're in the car with them when it happens, now,
Speaker 1: you're a.
Speaker 8: Yeah, See, that's more likely that I'm gonna say something
Speaker 8: that guilt would eat me up for real.
Speaker 7: But if I just know about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I wouldn't say anything, Okay, But if I'm in
Speaker 8: the car, yeah, you're in trouble. You're gonna have to
Speaker 8: run over.
Speaker 2: Me to see.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering. What would I do?
Speaker 3: I feel like I couldn't tell. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: But that's really fucked up. That's a big But that's
Speaker 3: had another layer to it. It's your it was, yes,
Speaker 3: your aunt that got run over.
Speaker 6: Marriage, it's your uncle's wife.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another layer.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying nothing when Roy hit the body.
Speaker 2: He didn't know that Mallory had already hit that body, right, Oh.
Speaker 4: No, oh no, I think well, because.
Speaker 6: Because it's the private role to the compound, right, anybody
Speaker 6: in the family could have hit that body exactly, but
Speaker 6: he knew it was her.
Speaker 1: He went back and put the body.
Speaker 2: In the ye.
Speaker 4: Kind of yeah, kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't know how we.
Speaker 2: Knew TV something.
Speaker 4: I just kept saying, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know act all right, Well, let me ask you another question.
Speaker 3: Could you see being with somebody who you don't really like,
Speaker 3: you fell out of love with, But let's just say
Speaker 3: business wise, it makes sense right in a marriage, even
Speaker 3: though I don't love you anymore. I actually can't stand you.
Speaker 3: But we have a family business together. It looks good
Speaker 3: to the outside. We're making millions of dollars. We have
Speaker 3: an amazing life.
Speaker 6: I hold it down and I'm gonna get my big
Speaker 6: on the side because I know he getting his see
Speaker 6: where he at. So you'll just stay together. But we
Speaker 6: just gonna act like we don't know what's happening. I
Speaker 6: don't know what you're doing, and you don't know what
Speaker 6: I'm doing. And in plain sight, it's all good.
Speaker 1: Love your baby, Okay, so you are.
Speaker 4: Malory, I'm roy. I agree, you agree, I'm roy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm roy.
Speaker 8: If I mean that much money, Like if I still
Speaker 8: would have money and I could, we could be going
Speaker 8: our separate ways, I'd be good.
Speaker 6: But it's like it's like a generational wealth, family business
Speaker 6: passed on through the generations of the black not find
Speaker 6: the only way they get their inheritance is if they
Speaker 6: stay married. Yeah, the only way they get their in
Speaker 6: the company, The only way they are able to keep
Speaker 6: their shares of the company is if they stay married.
Speaker 6: So once they divorced, by all get this business that
Speaker 6: we worked on for all of these years.
Speaker 2: Or you try to work out your marriage.
Speaker 3: I mean, y'all can't be trying to sip and run
Speaker 3: some other way each other. And I could see trying to.
Speaker 4: Work it out.
Speaker 2: Maybe she did some drugs, but them she.
Speaker 1: Heard of this to day.
Speaker 3: Or be married to somebody who's like a drug addict
Speaker 3: with rectile dysfunctions. Crazy, Yeah, how can you stay and
Speaker 3: then for him somebody who is uh I hate to
Speaker 3: say the word bitch, but she's a bitch.
Speaker 2: She's so mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a mean human being.
Speaker 6: I thought that she got the penis. She I thought
Speaker 6: that after she got outside pinions that that was gonna
Speaker 6: make her happy. And know she's still she was meaning him.
Speaker 2: You're just still being mean.
Speaker 3: And when you think about redeeming qualities for characters, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to think, what is redeeming about her?
Speaker 4: That's a good question. I think the deemon quality about her.
Speaker 5: I think she has the leader, though at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, it's like she's a bitch whatever, She's
Speaker 5: an asshole.
Speaker 4: No one likes her. She cleans up your ship, she
Speaker 4: cleansing my ship.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, she runs a company and
Speaker 5: makes she keep afloat and keeps her running and keeps
Speaker 5: you turning.
Speaker 6: Because the parents are older, the father's dying secretly, and
Speaker 6: the brother is too busy.
Speaker 1: It's a lot going on.
Speaker 2: They trust her, Yeah, like she's the brains of the operations.
Speaker 3: Face all right, So you was the only person who
Speaker 3: may be here besides me with not staying that is
Speaker 3: maybe Jordan, you wouldn't stay with somebody, for.
Speaker 7: I'd have to figure out something else. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 8: I don't no offense. I don't like mean enough to
Speaker 8: be tolerating that For the rest of my life. There's
Speaker 8: other ways to make money. I don't think about the
Speaker 8: family though. It's not just him, you're married to the
Speaker 8: whole family. Yet this there's got to be some secret
Speaker 8: stock somewhere. People were that wealthy of loopholes. There's a part,
Speaker 8: and I feel like I would have to find that loophole.
Speaker 1: Or she could go start her own brand, since she's
Speaker 1: the face of that word something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, her own brain. I didn't give people cancer, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's the fact.
Speaker 4: Episode.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I know you can't give us no Caesars,
Speaker 2: but I can't.
Speaker 7: You know what I've always wondered, how do you shoot
Speaker 7: the cocaine scenes?
Speaker 4: I do that.
Speaker 1: It do cocaine.
Speaker 4: Camera forgot.
Speaker 6: At all.
Speaker 4: But with me though, I mean.
Speaker 5: They have the substance, this little flowery substance that's from props,
Speaker 5: and I snorted, I don't know what, sugar ship. I'm
Speaker 5: committed every slap slap me everything I want to I
Speaker 5: want to live it. I am one of those committed
Speaker 5: actors that just do it because once a minute it's
Speaker 5: real to me, like yo, act it's fake.
Speaker 4: No, it's not.
Speaker 5: Now when I'm not when when that cameras his action.
Speaker 5: I am so, I mean, and every actor feels this way,
Speaker 5: but I mean, I'm just committed so with the slap
Speaker 5: snorting it and it's really going on my nose and
Speaker 5: getting the whatever after tastes of like whatever this, but
Speaker 5: I really.
Speaker 6: Need that, you know, Sonny, I can see because as
Speaker 6: a viewer, when we watch something and it's totally faked,
Speaker 6: now it is corny, like he ain't really that's so
Speaker 6: I get while you.
Speaker 5: That's real like Mallory and and you'll see some other stuff.
Speaker 5: They slapped the ship me, like slap me. So when
Speaker 5: I'm like my ship ringing it, that's a real is
Speaker 5: ringing crazy? Because you know Crystal Stewart who plays Mallory
Speaker 5: shout still yeah, slap rings on her fingers and ship they.
Speaker 1: Probably like take two, like, oh my god, not again.
Speaker 8: Let me write, how did you method act your way
Speaker 8: into a reptile dysfunction?
Speaker 2: How did you do that?
Speaker 4: Well? Didn't show.
Speaker 1: We saw.
Speaker 5: You, like we know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do all guys get that at some point? Like there's
Speaker 3: situations where it just doesn't work.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there has to be, Like it's not always.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're tired, maybe you're stressed.
Speaker 5: Out.
Speaker 3: Maybe so Whiskey did Yeah, Whiskey Dick maybe said too much, Flower,
Speaker 3: it won't get hurt.
Speaker 4: I haven't had that problem though, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: How that it is never ever like you've been come on,
Speaker 1: I work with me.
Speaker 4: Never.
Speaker 6: But I mean you're still pretty young though, because I
Speaker 6: feel like at some point I can see every guy like,
Speaker 6: because you can't just always be ready. Well, ladies, I
Speaker 6: hate to bust your bubble, but I was just told
Speaker 6: last week from my friend who's going through early not
Speaker 6: early menopause, that had a hysterectomy that she's not getting
Speaker 6: as well as she used to.
Speaker 2: So I guess that's basically the same thing, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you could use lube though, Yeah, that's you
Speaker 1: can't get hard, that's just it. You could use a
Speaker 1: toy instead, be like here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but to answer your question, yeah, I just know
Speaker 4: I was, thank God. But the thing about it, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was it was crazy that it's blaming it.
Speaker 2: On the girl for me though, I know, m hmm,
Speaker 2: she didn't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was sorry.
Speaker 6: He has problems a lot, has a soft spot for Kimmy.
Speaker 6: He like loves and hate her at the same time.
Speaker 4: He does I think write a soft spot for a
Speaker 4: lot of people in there.
Speaker 5: I think he just you'll see these next eight why
Speaker 5: he acts the way he does, and it seems like
Speaker 5: he's trying to like compensate with something that he never
Speaker 5: really got.
Speaker 4: These next eight episodes kind of convey that so okay good.
Speaker 5: Type of redemption. Yeah, because even playing this character, I
Speaker 5: didn't want him to be one noted. Like if you
Speaker 5: read the script, it can seem kind of just like mean,
Speaker 5: mean me, mean, I was like, no, bro, I want
Speaker 5: to I wanna I want to make this fun. I
Speaker 5: wanted to be kind of like a love hate with Roy,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. I think from from what
Speaker 5: I'm hearing, from what people have told me, I think
Speaker 5: I did that because like with Crystal or AKA Mallory,
Speaker 5: it's more fun and just like Banter, we're just going
Speaker 5: and think about TP too. It's like, we really got
Speaker 5: to have fun on this set to Tyler doesn't. This
Speaker 5: is different from me, especially being an actor. It's like
Speaker 5: usually you get five to ten takes and you're going
Speaker 5: and you're going. So you're kind of doing the same
Speaker 5: thing with Tyler. I mean, it's kind of known already,
Speaker 5: but he gets like one.
Speaker 4: To two tapes, got it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And at first I thought I was not going
Speaker 5: to like that because I'm a perfectionist, so I really
Speaker 5: wanted to like, damn, one of two tapes, damn. But
Speaker 5: then I quickly learned that it kind of frees you
Speaker 5: up a little bit because now you're able to really
Speaker 5: do whatever you want. You can just live and let
Speaker 5: it breathe. So with a lot of things with me
Speaker 5: and Crystal, who plays Mallory, we just living. Fuck the script, right,
Speaker 5: fuck the script.
Speaker 2: We just going and.
Speaker 4: Now you're getting this little real, natural, authentic Yeah, just what.
Speaker 5: People be saying to each other special relationships when they're
Speaker 5: going to get each other.
Speaker 4: It's just like we're going to see for sure you
Speaker 4: want to see. It ain't in the script. So it's
Speaker 4: just Tyler allowed us just like to play and that
Speaker 4: was just the best thing of my working with him.
Speaker 4: I got to play. I know, I cussed up a storm,
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that didn't makes sense for the your painties.
Speaker 4: For me, that's my fair scene.
Speaker 1: You got to put them on.
Speaker 4: Knocking out, knocking out, like one takes will kill it.
Speaker 5: I was like, ship, So I'm like, cause it's gonna
Speaker 5: be a big scene. And then when it came out
Speaker 5: and I've seen it, what happened, I was, I was
Speaker 5: very satisfied, and so I was very satisfied. When he
Speaker 5: saw it was just like yo, that was because hold on,
Speaker 5: hold hold up, it's.
Speaker 7: Just just going like that in the script, are you
Speaker 7: kind of freeze style?
Speaker 5: That was seventy provve okay, seventy percent, and most of
Speaker 5: my ship isn't prov like. And I was just telling
Speaker 5: Richard Lost in this and Shannon Wallace who plays Calvin
Speaker 5: the Driver, and Xavier who plays Angel, we just.
Speaker 4: Had a little thing on Instagram.
Speaker 5: The thing I do about acting, I just how I
Speaker 5: got prepared for this role for real, because they want, like,
Speaker 5: how you getting a character first?
Speaker 4: Of all.
Speaker 5: These elements is in my soul already. I've had a
Speaker 5: tough life in some areas of my life. You go
Speaker 5: to a lot of dark ship.
Speaker 4: It's in there. So I kind of like equate it
Speaker 4: to having a drawer.
Speaker 5: You have this drawer, and you picked the drawer out,
Speaker 5: and you just get some clothes and you wear it
Speaker 5: just for that time and then you put it back.
Speaker 4: That's how it is for me.
Speaker 5: It's in my spirit and soul naturally as I live
Speaker 5: this life, I'm happy, go lucky, let's praise God, let's
Speaker 5: have fun, let's take you know, take shots and have
Speaker 5: a good time. But I have this darkness to me,
Speaker 5: and I think everyone has little darkness to him, and
Speaker 5: with this role, I got to like really convey that.
Speaker 5: But to get prepared for it, I just used to.
Speaker 5: I mean I was walking five miles a day and
Speaker 5: just going over the script so many times, so many times,
Speaker 5: so many times, so many times where it was like
Speaker 5: embedded in.
Speaker 1: Me, so you knew who the character was.
Speaker 4: Embedded me.
Speaker 5: So and the thing I do, I try to use
Speaker 5: my creativity and my imagination as much as I can,
Speaker 5: Like how would this sound?
Speaker 4: How would this sound? How can I get it so live?
Speaker 4: And people like yo, that choice is crazy.
Speaker 5: So I'm always just thinking about how if I can
Speaker 5: be when it comes to these characters. And with Roy,
Speaker 5: I knew what Tyler was only giving this one of
Speaker 5: two takes. So that's why I was really just like
Speaker 5: I was just in it. Yeah I didn't really the
Speaker 5: script really.
Speaker 4: Didn't matter no more. It was just like now it's
Speaker 4: just really a couple really just.
Speaker 3: Talking, and now when you talk about pulling from like
Speaker 3: you said, we all have dark spaces. And so for
Speaker 3: you moving to Atlanta from Philly at five years old,
Speaker 3: five days.
Speaker 2: Literally he was.
Speaker 4: Right away.
Speaker 2: So why was that?
Speaker 5: Well, my dad, you know, he was in the music
Speaker 5: business and my mom, she was a celebrity in nel tech.
Speaker 5: And they met in Atlanta at a conference or something
Speaker 5: like that, found out they're about from Philly, went back
Speaker 5: to Philly. I guess it started romance and then they
Speaker 5: had me. But you know, Philly was rough, Philly was crazy.
Speaker 5: It's still is kind of crazy sometimes. And they decided
Speaker 5: to go back to Lanta where they met, and that's
Speaker 5: how what happened. And you do music too, Yeah, I am, Yes,
Speaker 5: I do produce, and right I do. I don't have
Speaker 5: nothing crazy yet, but now it's about to.
Speaker 2: Change, yeah, because these Royd doors are going to be open.
Speaker 5: Music is different too, because as a producer, it's just
Speaker 5: it's just different, especially trying to like get with artists,
Speaker 5: and it's just.
Speaker 4: It takes too, it's too much of a toll.
Speaker 5: To get everybody on the same page because of music sometimes,
Speaker 5: especially in this day and age. So it's just that's
Speaker 5: why I really went to acting because.
Speaker 4: It's really on me, right, you have to rely on me.
Speaker 4: I go around the engineer, I got alloud, the producer
Speaker 4: and the wrap. It's just it's on me, and I
Speaker 4: can trust myself. I don't trust these other people. I
Speaker 4: really don't.
Speaker 3: So your father was in the music business, so you
Speaker 3: guys moved to Atlanta. So what did you think you
Speaker 3: were going to do? You played football? Yes, right, you knew.
Speaker 3: Making it to the NFL is, by the way, something
Speaker 3: that most people will not achieve. So that's already something
Speaker 3: huge there that happened for you. But then to even
Speaker 3: be able to make that transition to being a successful actor,
Speaker 3: you know, all this time, it just feels like people
Speaker 3: don't know the backstory though, what happened before that.
Speaker 6: It's clear that you have just natural born talent in
Speaker 6: your veins from your parents, and a lot of people
Speaker 6: don't realize that when you come from a background of talent,
Speaker 6: it's just in you, and it's easier to understand right
Speaker 6: that it's in you and you were talented in so
Speaker 6: many different ways.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it wasn't a hard thing for you to
Speaker 2: make this transition, right.
Speaker 4: You know it's funny, and I'm glad you said that, because, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was kind of seamless. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5: It was a seamless transition because I've always known that
Speaker 5: I was going to do three things. There's going to
Speaker 5: be music, acting, in football, okay, So I know I
Speaker 5: knew I was going to do those three things. I
Speaker 5: think when I was younger, I obviously I wanted to
Speaker 5: play sports, play basketball too, but football, and I thought
Speaker 5: it was a mil ticket, you know, being a the
Speaker 5: NFL getting money that way. But when that stopped, I
Speaker 5: knew I had to backup plans. So I know I
Speaker 5: can do acting.
Speaker 4: I know I can.
Speaker 3: How was it for you stopping football because you played
Speaker 3: for so long? And I know for some people that's
Speaker 3: part of like having done all of that your identity
Speaker 3: for real.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just talking to my homeboy, Manual Moody
Speaker 5: about this last week in LA. Well, for me, I
Speaker 5: ain't a lot to you, it was not as tragic
Speaker 5: as it is for some other players. I kind of
Speaker 5: was tired of it, to be honest. We were done,
Speaker 5: just the politics within it and just the toll it
Speaker 5: took in the body mentally, I wasn't really excited for
Speaker 5: it anymore, and it was just the fun had been
Speaker 5: gone completely, especially what happened in Arkansas. There was a
Speaker 5: lot of moving parts that I couldn't control with politics,
Speaker 5: and when you get older too, you realize how important
Speaker 5: leadership is, and you know, the leadership.
Speaker 4: At some of these places was kind of like it
Speaker 4: was just crazy.
Speaker 5: I had three coaches in college, No, damn three, So
Speaker 5: how can you really get your feet and really be
Speaker 5: as focused and create a foundation the way you want to? Like,
Speaker 5: let's say, like Alabama you got Nick Saban. Saban was
Speaker 5: there for years. So you're not really going through coaches.
Speaker 5: You're not going through different personnel, You're not going through
Speaker 5: different personalities.
Speaker 4: I have three three coaches?
Speaker 1: Wow, you.
Speaker 4: I mean I just want to win, right, I just
Speaker 4: want to win.
Speaker 5: And we had we had some winning times when I
Speaker 5: was there, but it really was just you know, people
Speaker 5: made some decisions and things happened, and you know, people
Speaker 5: were just going in and out of Arkansas.
Speaker 3: That's good because then you were able to play, like
Speaker 3: in roles where football was center stage in some of
Speaker 3: those roles, so you were able to take that gives
Speaker 3: you quite an edge. Yes, it does other characters.
Speaker 4: It does in.
Speaker 5: Football in general. It just creates perseverance and it teaches
Speaker 5: you hard work, discipline, all that.
Speaker 4: You know, the cliche ship but it's but it does.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: When you playing in front of a hundred thousand people,
Speaker 5: that pressure compared to you know, when you're gonna set
Speaker 5: like a Tyler Perry said, you got like two hundred
Speaker 5: people watch you, and they can be intimate scene between
Speaker 5: me and you and we're doing this crazy thing.
Speaker 4: We got to do.
Speaker 5: Some people might get nervous about that. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: someone was watching you see a nigga like whispering as
Speaker 5: they talking about me. All these things go in your head.
Speaker 5: And I think with football that prepared me for moments
Speaker 5: like that because it's way different like playing in front
Speaker 5: of eighty thousand and everyone's like soul is relying on
Speaker 5: what you do and what play you make and think
Speaker 5: about acting is different than football. You don't know what's
Speaker 5: going to happen. In football, you don't know what play
Speaker 5: is going to happen. You don't know how the ball's
Speaker 5: gonna bounce, You don't know what is going to happen.
Speaker 5: But Actings have a general idea. I got the script,
Speaker 5: I know what's going to happen. So the pressure from
Speaker 5: that compared to this made it easy.
Speaker 1: Because anything, hands are nuts, they could do it better
Speaker 1: than it is. It is.
Speaker 4: It is tough, and so you can have a great night.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves you. You can mess up everyone. You're the
Speaker 1: worst thing in the world.
Speaker 4: People talking crazy, crazy crazy. So acting is very just
Speaker 4: like and I think I found my tribe with acting.
Speaker 4: I really did.
Speaker 5: I think, like, you know, football, I have brothers from
Speaker 5: football that I love to death, but you know, there's
Speaker 5: kind of like a synergy within football. It's a little
Speaker 5: meat heady, a little bit sometimes macho macho man. And
Speaker 5: when acting, it's more people got to know themselves and
Speaker 5: are vulnerable. They're not scared to be emotional and accept themselves.
Speaker 5: And that's kind of like my tribe because that's who
Speaker 5: I am naturally as a person. Really don't give a
Speaker 5: shit me. I don't give it, damn And.
Speaker 4: That's how I am.
Speaker 5: And I think some people really just haven't accepted themselves,
Speaker 5: especially in football, because maybe they're just not there as
Speaker 5: a frequency, they're not operating at that frequency. But for me,
Speaker 5: I was always operating at a high frequency, always, and
Speaker 5: that's why acting is awesome, because everyone is kind of
Speaker 5: operating at a high frequency, at the high vibrational state.
Speaker 1: How was your first love scene that you had to
Speaker 1: do in front of.
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 5: For you, it really wasn't you know, it's crazy. It's
Speaker 5: really not nothing to me, to be honest, be honest
Speaker 5: with you.
Speaker 1: It has to feel a little where everybody watching you,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I want to.
Speaker 4: Give you this, like I know, because because about after
Speaker 4: everyone gives just like crazy essay. But it's like, I
Speaker 4: just go do it. I just do it. I just
Speaker 4: go do it, like you get it, I just go
Speaker 4: do it, do it, Just go do it.
Speaker 7: Has there ever been something you read that you were like,
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to do that.
Speaker 5: Yes, anything demonic or something like that, So you don't
Speaker 5: do like a horror. It depends what kind of horror
Speaker 5: it is. But if it's like demonic and devilish. Hell,
Speaker 5: there's this movie called Long Legs I saw. I don't
Speaker 5: know if I've seen that.
Speaker 4: Cage.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 4: It's scared of shadow me. I like, yeah, but it
Speaker 4: was actually it was actually a good movie.
Speaker 2: But but it's scared you you wouldn't been able to
Speaker 2: take on that role.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like.
Speaker 2: A movie.
Speaker 4: I want to do that.
Speaker 1: I want to know, you can't do a movie where
Speaker 1: you're playing with a Wii border and.
Speaker 5: When it comes to that, I really kind of just
Speaker 5: trying to stay away from that as much as I can.
Speaker 1: But than that, do you believe in spirits?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I believe in spirits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, either you've ever seen a ghost or anything.
Speaker 5: Maybe one time, I don't know, maybe one time, but
Speaker 5: that was like I was walking on this trail one
Speaker 5: night and I thought I saw a goddamn ghost and and.
Speaker 1: And then you ran it over with the car.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I believe in spirit.
Speaker 5: I think God, the Spirit, God the Spirit. Yes, it
Speaker 5: was the Spirit and the Holy Spirit. And you know
Speaker 5: we're living in this world right now and it's the
Speaker 5: spiritual warfare going on. So yeah, I definitely believe in spirits.
Speaker 3: And I just want to say for people listening, today
Speaker 3: is election day. While we're filming this election day, Yeah,
Speaker 3: actually I'm so nervous. I was like, I don't mind working,
Speaker 3: you know, night to night to keep myself. I don't
Speaker 3: want to sit and watch like as the.
Speaker 1: Numbers are coming in and everybody's going crazy and all this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell for sure.
Speaker 6: Too.
Speaker 1: I did the same thing.
Speaker 4: It was fun, all that politics, It was fun.
Speaker 3: But today feels different because you know what, I feel
Speaker 3: like we're so divided and there's a lot of hate.
Speaker 2: Four years ago, we filmed for Beyond the Poll. Remember
Speaker 2: we did.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did the episode the Vote, working for Votes.
Speaker 6: We were talking for votes last year and this year
Speaker 6: I was at Magic City from the post to the whole.
Speaker 6: I literally left Magic City last night and got up
Speaker 6: and went and voted from the polls to the poll
Speaker 6: And that's strange.
Speaker 2: Come here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, y'all.
Speaker 1: You ever see yourself like running for office or something?
Speaker 4: Yes, really, definitely I would be a great leader.
Speaker 2: Congressman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I could do that.
Speaker 5: I really do think so, because I think my head's
Speaker 5: on straight and I think I have the proper qualities
Speaker 5: that this country needs.
Speaker 4: For the people.
Speaker 1: What does he stand let's stand for?
Speaker 3: Okay, I like it, but I do think that more
Speaker 3: people need to run for office who have leadership qualities.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I honestly feel like the age bracket should be
Speaker 6: brought down a little a little bit. Yeah, when it
Speaker 6: comes to politics, even like with the presidential you know,
Speaker 6: we love call, we want her to win, but she's
Speaker 6: little on the older side.
Speaker 1: Well do you know that.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying I want Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, Biden is really old.
Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is, in all of politics, I
Speaker 6: want the age bracket to come down a little bit
Speaker 6: so that the people who are in control of the
Speaker 6: decisions are really in tune with the people whould affect
Speaker 6: the most, which is the younger generation.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I do think we have some younger like senators and
Speaker 3: counsel people and things like that, because you know, a
Speaker 3: lot of times we focus on the presidency, but there's
Speaker 3: also all of Congress that matters that house to represent
Speaker 3: it honestly facts, Yeah, to get when it comes to things.
Speaker 3: We need to encourage people to run for office too,
Speaker 3: because sometimes people don't even understand that they can. Yeah,
Speaker 3: understand that they can and have to support because it
Speaker 3: does take money too, and people have to like raise
Speaker 3: money campaign.
Speaker 1: I guess you're doing a role even.
Speaker 4: I want to, I really do. I want.
Speaker 5: I wanted to be in his story and before anything,
Speaker 5: I wanted to do a story. I love history, I
Speaker 5: love it, I love DC. I love all that stuff, yo,
Speaker 5: and that would have to obviously get better with my
Speaker 5: policy and things of that nature. But I just want to, like,
Speaker 5: you know, I just want people to live right and
Speaker 5: be their best and really live this life to the
Speaker 5: maximum they can and not stress about so much shit.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: One question about today's election. I want everybody to answer, Okay,
Speaker 6: if you were elected president, what's the first thing that
Speaker 6: you would change or what would you like to see
Speaker 6: change with this upcoming election.
Speaker 4: Well, it's changed changed, but what.
Speaker 2: Would you like to see something put into play or
Speaker 2: something changed or something you know, create.
Speaker 5: A meditation program for everybody in America. I create a
Speaker 5: meditation program because everyone's fucked up right now. The anxiety, the.
Speaker 4: Fear, thet to worry, everyone's minds.
Speaker 5: Everyone just needs to relax and meditate and do what
Speaker 5: they got to do to get their spirituality up because
Speaker 5: everyone's focusing so much in this realm.
Speaker 4: This shit is temporary. We're all disposable.
Speaker 5: Everyone's disposable, and at the end of the day, I
Speaker 5: just would get people on meditation, get their human side
Speaker 5: up so they can be better.
Speaker 1: Your money, right.
Speaker 4: You know, It's funny. Everyone always you know what, do
Speaker 4: you want to give me some acting device, acting advice?
Speaker 4: All this ship be yourself?
Speaker 5: Did I give people human advice? I don't get like
Speaker 5: this acting ship because you're not gonna be mean. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to You're not going to be you can't
Speaker 5: because my ways is not going to have weird ways.
Speaker 5: But really I just want to give people human advice.
Speaker 5: So and that's getting like I say, your spirituality up meditation.
Speaker 5: Up Meditation increases great matter, that reduces cortisol. And at
Speaker 5: the end of the day, everyone is stressed as fuck
Speaker 5: out here.
Speaker 1: When did you start meditating?
Speaker 4: I think around like twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Okay, during the pandemic.
Speaker 4: That was a great start because I had a panic
Speaker 4: attack so goddamn bad that I thought I was going
Speaker 4: to die.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 5: And I was running around the streets at LA crazy
Speaker 5: because because twenty was nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: It was doing this all day and every day all
Speaker 5: day because everyone's free to do whatever they want.
Speaker 4: So I got today, but they aren't exactly.
Speaker 5: People are giving them money, loans, everything, and everyone's having
Speaker 5: a good time.
Speaker 1: It was hard.
Speaker 5: It was a part exactly exactly and recipes everybody that yeah,
Speaker 5: went to that condolences, but yeah, for the like you know,
Speaker 5: the young crowd in La, it was just more so.
Speaker 4: Nigga were doing that we want nigga and every night
Speaker 4: and stop.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they got to the point where one day
Speaker 5: it was so bad. I just had this panic attack
Speaker 5: and from nowhere.
Speaker 1: How did you know? It was like what happens?
Speaker 4: I had to run.
Speaker 5: I had to run and my heart was being so
Speaker 5: fast I thought I was gonna die. I have fucked
Speaker 5: up anxiety. I used to have fuck anxiety and crippling anxiety.
Speaker 5: And this is what I want to talk about, this
Speaker 5: type of stuff. I want to talk about the people
Speaker 5: because I think sometimes people see.
Speaker 4: Me and like, yo, he just got it going on, nigga.
Speaker 5: My mind's fucked sometimes a lot of times, and I
Speaker 5: just had to find ways to like cope and get
Speaker 5: my mind better because the mind is so strong and
Speaker 5: it can attract things and it's really a dictator to
Speaker 5: how you really live your life. So with that though,
Speaker 5: I think just the drink in and not getting no sleep.
Speaker 5: This is And I lost one of my friends. It
Speaker 5: was like he was actually, yeah, he's one of my
Speaker 5: friends and he really supported me, and he had passed away,
Speaker 5: and I think when I saw the news, I just
Speaker 5: freaked out and.
Speaker 4: It's just panic attack came over me and I just
Speaker 4: because you.
Speaker 5: Know, we can't multitask in the brain. You know, the
Speaker 5: brain don't can focus on one thing at a time.
Speaker 5: So when sometimes when it gets too crazy and too
Speaker 5: hectic in my mind, I just got to run because
Speaker 5: once you start running and stuff, your brain's focusing on
Speaker 5: running and now you're tired and ship.
Speaker 4: So now you can give your.
Speaker 1: Brain and just a break exactly, So you meditate by running.
Speaker 4: No, that's why I did that. That's why I said,
Speaker 4: I can't do this shit again.
Speaker 2: Change.
Speaker 4: So that's when I really started, like really trying to.
Speaker 5: Find ways to just get my mind to be as
Speaker 5: president as possible so it can be relaxed and as
Speaker 5: best as I can be, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So ash fora Ganda taking bte in his officials, the
Speaker 5: D three's.
Speaker 4: Multi vitamins. It can go on and on and on.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of vitamins that was taken and then
Speaker 5: with meditation and then with prayer. So now you got
Speaker 5: a combo. You get the prayer going, you get the
Speaker 5: meditation going, take the Astra Ganda and now you just presire,
Speaker 5: yeah you present.
Speaker 1: Did you talk to anybody that, like what made you
Speaker 1: decide to do that?
Speaker 5: Talk to God about it, okay, and just meditators about it.
Speaker 5: And then I really started understanding just how like important
Speaker 5: meditation was. I would go to the steam room and
Speaker 5: just meditate for fifteen twenty minutes, put on good music
Speaker 5: and just breathe. And I don't think we realize as
Speaker 5: humans how imperative just breathing is.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Everyone's just living life when you kind of hold your
Speaker 1: breath and doing it exactly.
Speaker 6: I didn't know.
Speaker 4: I didn't know about this. You just hold your breath.
Speaker 4: And I think that.
Speaker 5: Just with time and just knowing about meditation, it just
Speaker 5: continued to be a part of my daily regiment and
Speaker 5: I do it like every day, and I just.
Speaker 4: Encourage people to do it, you know, because it really helps.
Speaker 4: It really does help.
Speaker 1: And they do have apps and everything like that that
Speaker 1: can actually help you with.
Speaker 2: For everything.
Speaker 3: Sound back, because sometimes our mind is always racing too.
Speaker 3: I know it's hard for me to sleep at night
Speaker 3: because I have like twenty thousand things in my head.
Speaker 3: I do this, got to do that I gotta do
Speaker 3: and then you're just laying there like and the next
Speaker 3: thing you know, it's.
Speaker 4: Time to get up, and it's crazy.
Speaker 5: It's really is crazy. But it helps me everything we're
Speaker 5: acting everything. It just allows you to be setting the scene,
Speaker 5: allows you to be sett in life. It helps it crazy.
Speaker 1: If I was president, I think the thing I will
Speaker 1: focus on first is housing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that's like one of the major issues that
Speaker 3: will help people in every single way. Knowing that you
Speaker 3: have a decent place to live is so important, and
Speaker 3: so many people don't have that, and so many people
Speaker 3: are like, how do I pay my rent? I'm getting evicted,
Speaker 3: I don't have this, I don't have hot water, I
Speaker 3: don't you know. It's all of those things. And so
Speaker 3: for me, just affordable housing for people or places for
Speaker 3: people to live, because we can build things and we
Speaker 3: can also make sure and I know we do this
Speaker 3: here now, but when developers are doing projects, making sure
Speaker 3: part a portion of that, you know, does go to
Speaker 3: it is affordable housing incentives from the government.
Speaker 1: Also, I feel like opportunities.
Speaker 3: I think about people who are able to entern or
Speaker 3: do things like that and not have to worry so
Speaker 3: much about money as they're pursuing their goals because they
Speaker 3: need someplace to live. You know, we all grinded it
Speaker 3: out at a certain time in our life where maybe
Speaker 3: we didn't have well most of us didn't have money
Speaker 3: like that. But at least if you know you have
Speaker 3: a place to live, you will come home.
Speaker 2: To where you're able to be more sane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to presume things that you really want to pursue.
Speaker 2: You know, would you change Jordan?
Speaker 7: I think my focus would always be in human rights
Speaker 7: in some sort. I think elderly cares overlooked women's rights. Obviously,
Speaker 7: healthcare are food.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 6: I think it would have to be one of those
Speaker 6: that's mine, FDA. They're killing us with these personages in
Speaker 6: our food. Look at how many the high counts of
Speaker 6: people who have and are suffering from and actually losing
Speaker 6: lives to cancer.
Speaker 2: That wasn't happening when we were kids. It's like that
Speaker 2: wasn't happening to twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 1: It's such fanatic countries that they won't Yeah, we allowed
Speaker 1: here so much, but in other countries they're like, oh no.
Speaker 2: We don't have so much.
Speaker 1: You can.
Speaker 2: Killing us. The food is killing us. The chem trails
Speaker 2: in the air, like, all of that is what I
Speaker 2: would focus on if.
Speaker 1: I had that right, we turned into all this. This
Speaker 1: all came out of lip service.
Speaker 2: Today. I'm telling you, look what you today, politician.
Speaker 4: That sounds good.
Speaker 1: What are you like in a relationship?
Speaker 4: Relationship?
Speaker 6: Terribly?
Speaker 4: I got relationship?
Speaker 1: What what were people you dated say about you? In common?
Speaker 4: Like, he's an asshole, but he's gott be closer to God.
Speaker 4: Just say he's in freedom. He loves his freedom. And
Speaker 4: he's like, yeah, he loves his freedom.
Speaker 7: Always say so you were all here cheating.
Speaker 4: No, I don't do that at all.
Speaker 1: That don't do that at all at all.
Speaker 4: I don't do that.
Speaker 1: What does it? Loves his freedom?
Speaker 2: Mean, he's not committed committing. He's not going to because
Speaker 2: he's not going to commit. So there we go. You

Speaker 8: Relationship relationship now, oh yeah, an open relationship, but monogamous.
Speaker 4: I'm going to committed relation.
Speaker 2: He's committed, he's not a long a long time.

Speaker 5: same I have the same worldview kind of in the
Speaker 5: same perspective. And really that's really when it comes down to. Obviously,
Speaker 5: I'm not a checkbox guy. I don't give a ship
Speaker 5: about the cooking, clean and bullsh I don't give a ship.
Speaker 4: Make me laugh?
Speaker 7: Do you split the bills?
Speaker 5: No discusst to just take it, take it, take it, baly,
Speaker 5: don't care about no duties, give ship.
Speaker 4: It's about the synergy. It's about the chemistry. And can
Speaker 4: we laugh? Can we have a good time?
Speaker 1: Easy person to date?
Speaker 2: Easy?
Speaker 1: Are you okay?

Speaker 5: take life too serious. I mean that's serious.

Speaker 5: I take it serious. My family look out for them
Speaker 5: everything and then you know God, and that's really it.
Speaker 5: Everything else is a bonus.
Speaker 4: That's my memoirs. Take that title.
Speaker 5: But yeah, everything else, Yeah, it's gonna call that because
Speaker 5: that's what everything else is a bonus to me.
Speaker 4: I don't take things too serious.
Speaker 1: Already got his memoir player.
Speaker 5: I'll be writing everything in my notes slowly, like I
Speaker 5: can't believe this happened. Yeah, I'm just writing everything. I
Speaker 5: go through, every thought that that this process in my mind.
Speaker 5: I write it down so when I do one day
Speaker 5: get older, when I write something, I'll be there. You know.
Speaker 4: So thinks about us. I look at life. I don't
Speaker 4: think that.
Speaker 5: I think it's life, especially when things have happened of
Speaker 5: recent especially this last five years with just losing people
Speaker 5: and seeing the tragy that's happened because you know, I
Speaker 5: lost three teammates last year, Arkansas lost three of them.
Speaker 5: I lost my brother, Ryan Mallett, Os Collins and Chris Smith,
Speaker 5: my dogs and and and just getting I already had
Speaker 5: this mentality, but just when you lose people that are
Speaker 5: your age and stuff like that, I think the care
Speaker 5: for this certain minute, the minute things that we care
Speaker 5: about in this world just kind of goes away. And
Speaker 5: I think the things that really matters, how you treat
Speaker 5: people and how people feeling they meet you.
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm in the trenches with the people.
Speaker 5: I've responded to every person who de in me, everybody, damn.
Speaker 5: But I'm kind of getting tired of it.
Speaker 4: You there.
Speaker 1: For by the time dropped it over.
Speaker 4: Kind of this is just getting a lot and a
Speaker 4: lot to you. But I just I'm in the trenches.
Speaker 4: I don't give a ship about this. I really don't.
Speaker 4: I really don't care.
Speaker 3: It is your anxiety a lot better now, it's amazing
Speaker 3: under control.
Speaker 4: Three before I got on set. I feel good right now, calm,
Speaker 4: But we know you.
Speaker 3: Have all kinds of emergencies going on, and I love
Speaker 3: that you rolled in here like you won't believe it
Speaker 3: just happened. You know, you got to roll with the punches.
Speaker 3: When it comes to life, there's things that are out
Speaker 3: of your control, absolutely that you just have to be like,
Speaker 3: all right, well figure it out, figured this out.
Speaker 4: You can do quality living life.
Speaker 5: Look at things as a bigger picture. Everything is like
Speaker 5: a bigger picture than me. And you know, sometimes I
Speaker 5: do got to work on the small details of my
Speaker 5: life though. I got to do better with that thing,
Speaker 5: you know, certain things. But I look at life, it's
Speaker 5: just a bigger picture.
Speaker 1: Well it's working for you say that everything is a
Speaker 1: blessing from God.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 4: And yeah, just even being with y'all that on last
Speaker 4: year at the time, I was driving uber and at
Speaker 4: the end of the day my car I was see.
Speaker 1: No one would think that because you've had successful exactly.
Speaker 5: That's why I tell everybody I would drive, assume you
Speaker 5: have money. I was fucked up, fucked up bad because
