234
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,200

238
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: think it needs to be spylighted and highlighted even more

239
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: because those moments would let's keep it a buck like

240
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: those ones would be dead moments over the change out

241

Speaker 3: the artists come on stage, the crowd is still ready

247
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:07,800

329
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: on sex cleve and Pain. It feels like at least

330
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: twenty years you should have two or three songs on

331
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: sex club and pain, but we ended up picking one.

332
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: For sure. Carry wrote on sex club and Pain and

333
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: she was cooking back that was like, what are you doing?

334
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Is nasty?

335
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: She wasn't even in the game yet. She was sitting

336
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: on the bench trying to figure it out in between

337
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: Polo and Tim, and I was like, you signed to them?

338
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be crazy?

339
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: Right?

340
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: And then for her to go on and then be

341
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: that it's crazy, and then like it was awesome to

342
00:20:46,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: be part of her popping back out. I experienced it

343
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: really heavy in the Meet and Greek, where, first of all,

344
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: people were taken aback by actually standing in front of

345
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: carry and looking at her literally at least fifteen twenty

346
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: times in the meet and greetor oh my god, you

347
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: are gorgeous, like they were looking at it that oh

348
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: my god, you know what I'm saying. Guys and girls,

349
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: it was like Jesus Christ. They didn't know it's never

350
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: been that close to her to really like see her

351
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: that close but absorb her energy, which is great energy.

352
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: Right.

353
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: And of course there were people who were like, I

354
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: love you Tank, I love you Carl, but I'm here

355
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: to see care you know what I'm saying. It was

356
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: that type of thing too, And it was like that's

357
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: what you go, Yeah, that's what you want. You want,

358
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: you want weighted people involved.

359
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: And I think that, you know, ultimately, when we were

360
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: talking about going on tour and how she came up,

361
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: even just in conversation for the tour, was that it

362
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: was it was that she just in my opinion, she

363
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: brought a different element. Yeah, she brought a different element. Obviously,

364
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: you know, she's a woman's two men on tour. That's

365
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: one thing. But it was it's just her presence and

366
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: her being, in my opinion, her being.

367
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Able to.

368
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: Fill that space where you know, it gives a different

369
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: element of performance than the other two artists, completely different,

370
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

371
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: And you know she brought them ladies out too.

372
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 2: And the way she rolled, even th way she rolled

373
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: on the road, like people don't know that cares an athlete,

374
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 2: right right, So she's like in that space like behind

375
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: the scenes, she's really one of us, right No.

376
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: And it's funny you say that, right, because what happens

377
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: with a lot of.

378
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: Women in the game.

379
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: It's harder to move them around as far as on

380
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: the road because you know it, you know, it takes

381
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 3: glam and it takes you know, styling and all these

382
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: other things that men they don't really you know.

383
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: We got on T shirts right now, you know what

384
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

385
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: But I knew from Carrie's background, from her hustle, from

386
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: her you know, like you said, growing up being an

387
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: athlete and kind of just being game ready. I knew

388
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: she was going to be able to do the tour

389
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: without needing all of the other extra stuff that's some

390
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: artists they just they lean on carry. Lenly was backstage

391
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: doing her makeup, doing it all, cooking, you know what

392
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: I mean like she was like, oh yeah, I'll be

393
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 3: out there.

394
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

395
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: And that's not that's that's unusual in the game.

396
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: It really is.

397
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: And obviously in this tour and what it, you know,

398
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: the requirements for this tour, we needed someone like that.

399
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: It would have been tougher to do to do it

400
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: any other way, any other way.

Speaker 3: you know, I would the advice I would give to

491
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: all teams, you know, teams that are you know, tenured

492
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: in this business and teams that are new. Just be respectful.

493
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: Be respectful everywhere you are. Be respectful people's time. People

494

Speaker 3: have jobs to do, you know what I mean. So

495
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: when you think that you're just oh, that don't really

496
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: mean nothing, that is somebody that has to there's accountability.

497
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: Somebody has to be accountable for everything everything. Thinking that

498
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, it's cool to go back and and raid

499
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: the and raid the lunch room, it's other people that

500
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: haven't eat.

501
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: People have to eat.

502
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: That's why they have lunch tickets, That's why they have

503
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: whatever these things are. They're preparing for the people that

504
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: are on the road to take care of you while

505
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: you're out there, so that you don't because most of

506
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: the times you don't have time to go somewhere and

507
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: go get food.

508
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: Most of the people that are crew, they never leave

509
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the venue ever.

510
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: They in the morning to they go from the bus

511
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: to the venue, or to the hotel to the or

512
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: wherever it is. But they're not like, oh yeah, while

513
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: we were in Nashville, I was able to go to

514
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: give me some hot chicken from such and such. No,

515
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: that's not That's not how it works because there's jobs

516
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: that need to be done. So that's why I say

517
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: just people being mindful and having accountability about what's going

518
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: on around them on these tours, because you know, you

519
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: hear so many horror stories of artists that just come

520
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: into these places and they just think, oh, yeah, I'm the.

521
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: Artist, so to move how I want to move, Like, nah,

522
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: that's just not how it goes.

523
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: And every city is different in terms of what those

524
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: requirements are going to be. Like we go to a

525
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: city like Boston, which is the only city where we

526
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: had a laser light spacing restriction on stage, and I

527
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: get to call at six something. I'm at the hotel

528
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: doing my routine getting ready. I don't leave the hotel

529
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: till seven. They're saying, hey, you know, the the Union

530
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: here wants to show you where you can't go on stage.

531
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I can't go on stage? Like yeah,

532
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: they they're you know, they're very serious about these laser

533
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: lights and they want to make sure. You know, safety

534
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: is first for them in terms of how they view it,

535
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: and they have marked off the stage where you can't go.

536
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, okay, well I see when I get there. No,

537
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: you don't understand. They want to see you now before

538
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: they even open the doors, to show you where you

539
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: can and can't go and make sure it's.

540
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Not going to be an issue. And I was like, okay,

541
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: all right.

542
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: So I got to hurry up my routine because first

543
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: and foremost, I want the doors open. I want the

544
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: people to get in there, to be able to see

545
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: fly Guy and see Carl and see you know. And

546
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: so I've never been through this, but I'm like, you know,

547
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: it's their building. Let me go see what's going on.

548
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: And so we get to the building and they literally

549
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: have I mean, if we put it together, close to

550
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 2: thirty forty percent of the stage marked off, marked off

551
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: where I couldn't go, Me and Loney couldn't go, where

552
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: you couldn't go on that stage.

553
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: And I was like, it was like, it was like,

554
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: how does this work for you? And I was like, yeah,

555
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: your house rules, let's work. And they were so.

556
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: They were ready to argue because they're used to are

557
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: used to artists.

558
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: No, I can't. I need to be able to no,

559
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: just cool, respecting the house safety first. This is how

560
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: y'all rock?

561
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: That's rock, right, and we use all sixty percent of

562
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the stage that was left and had

563
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: an amazing show. And they were so impressed that that

564
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: right there was so easy for them. We appreciate you

565
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: guys because they were standing by ready to press the

566
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: button if either one of us would have went into

567
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: those restricted areas, they were gonna press that button.

568
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: Show was over right.

569
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: That wasn't Boston because I wasn't. I wasn't in Boston.

570
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: I was where was it? I got to think of

571
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: where it was.

572
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: It was Boston.

573
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: No, no, no, because I didn't do the Boston show.

574
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: I didn't do the Boston show, but I was. I

575
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: did this show that your job. That was definitely Boston.

576
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: You weren't there there it was because we had it.

577
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: Remember when I was one of these shows I was

578
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: at it was it was a laser light restriction.

579
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: Too, probably probably to but this was that Boston was

580
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: the biggest one. Boston was like they was cutting stage off.

581
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: I had a runway, wow, and then a space in

582
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: the front. It was definitely Boston and then I'm not sure.

583
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where else.

584
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, so.

585
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's being respectful to these to these guys

586
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: in their city and their space. Yea, they have things

587
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: to do. Your job, man, And if you're saying in

588
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: the interest of safety, then why do I want to

589
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: buck that right?

590
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Are you trying to keep me safe?

591
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: Why you're trying to Sometimes the ego just gets in

592
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: the way of that. But that's why, you know, you

593
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 3: look up and you know there are so many venues

594
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: that you've done repeat business with because when your name

595
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: comes up, this is how it's laid out to them.

596
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: They're like, oh no, we love him, you know what

597
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, you know, shout out to you know,

598
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 3: the boss lady at the Poms, Crystal amazing. She she

599
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: was amazing to us, and we had we had conversations

600
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: just about you know, doing more stuff over there and

601
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: doing stuff at the Pearl and doing stuff with the

602
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: Poms because of how we are with our business. She appreciated,

603
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 3: you know, how we came through and handled ourselves professionally

604
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: and did a great show, you know what I mean.

605
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 3: So I think that that is something that's really important

606
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 3: for artists that are coming up. Just just be respectful

607
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: the house man. Just come do your job or.

608

610
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: Your people because they are they are a representation of you.

00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: Everybody that is with us on this road represents Tank first, myself, Lulu,

612
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: they represent R and B.

613
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Money doesn't matter who you are.

614
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: Like there's a saying that people always like to use,

615
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: like no, I'll be the bad guy, but don't overstep that. Right,

616
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: there's there's you being the person who ensures that things

617
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: are the way they are supposed to be, right being

618
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: an asshole, but in being an asshole, those are two

619
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: different different things, two different things. And so you know

620
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: again with my team, I love my team because we

621
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,920

Speaker 2: the people business. My whole team, we're in the people business.

623
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,600

636
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: that's how it has to be for me. Never been

637
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 2: able to operate any other way. So that there's that

638
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: your favorite city, my favorite city. Not to say all

639
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: the cities weren't good, Yeah.

640
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: Because we had like you know what, bro, I can

641
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: honestly say they really showed up and showed out in

642
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: every city, you know what I mean. And that's not

643
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 3: like I'm not about to say what my face it was.

644
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: But just when I look back at every city that

645
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: I went to, which I went, I went to at

646
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 3: least fifteen of them, maybe twenty somewhere in there between

647
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: fifteen and twenty, and.

648
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: Bro to love was crazy. The love was crazy. You know.

649
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: Honestly, this is gonna throw a lot of people off,

650
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, because it's a it's a smaller.

651
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: City, but it was because of the venue.

652
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 3: Raleigh was crazy singing in that opera house or whatever

653
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: that was, you know what I mean, like because they

654
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 3: usually have you know, it's tuned sonically, it's just for music.

655
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 3: They don't have anything else to have music there the place.

656
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: We you know that we did in Raleigh, And I

657
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 3: think for me that that really just just hearing it.

658
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: And plus I had a chance to kind of go

659
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: out into the orchestra and watch your performance after. I

660
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: really really listened from that point, and I'm like, Yo,

661
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 3: this is this is this is really dope because so

662
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: from a sonic standpoint, and the crowd was cracking. The

663
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: crowd was cracking everywhere, but like but from a sonic

664
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,960

00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: want me to come out and rock with you. But

723
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: I still am very mindful, like, Yo, this is tanks tour.

724
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 3: This has to work, this has to rock a certain way.

725
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: We're presenting ourselves a certain way other than me pulling

726
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: up at the Meat and Green with a drink like yeah, yeah,

727

00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: Got to do business, you know.

729
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: And it's something that's we talk about all the time.

730
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: What we're doing has never been done. It's never been done.

731
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 3: And that's not saying like we're banging on our chest,

732
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 3: but we're just saying like this, there is no one

733
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 3: that can tell us how to do what we're doing.

734
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: There's never been.

735
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: An artist, manager, manager, artists partner partner and a company

736
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 3: that are both doing music side, creative side and business side.

737
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: It's just tough, you know.

738
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 3: What I mean. And so but in Raleigh, I'm not

739
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: sure how she figured out how to get to me.

740
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was through Lulu or through

741
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 3: Tobe or whoever it was, but a young lady. They

742
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: brought her so she could meet me after the Raleigh show,

743
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 3: and this is my first time experiencing this, and she

744
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 3: started hyperventilating and crying and.

745
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: I didn't really know how to react to that, you

746
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I'm like, no, don't don't cry,

747
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm just regular O Jay. But it was, it was

748
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: it was really dope.

749
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: It was really dope, man I And I appreciate her

750
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: just you know, feeling feeling comfortable and free enough to

751
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: have that type of emotion towards me and what I

752
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: do in music because I had never experienced that. I'd

753
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: never experienced that. That was it was a really cool moment.

754
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 3: I was glad that, you know, I was able to

755
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: take pictures with her. And I don't know if it

756
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: was it was either her friend or family member that

757
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: I think, and they might have been family, but just

758
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 3: I got a chance to take pictures with them, you

759
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean and tell them thank you. And

760
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 3: it was it was a really cool moment for me.

761
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: That was like my highlight of my tour moment for

762
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 3: me of being like, damn, that's that's crazy that somebody

763
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: would feel like that toward me because.

764
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't you don't go you don't

767
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: kind of flowers. Yeah, you stay very much away from

00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: anything that that any sign of accomplishment, any sign up.

769
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: I did that, like, you stay far away from that,

770
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: which so many people wanted to give you on that tour.

771

773
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: when you walk out, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

774
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: Like we experienced that on on the New Edition tour

775
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: where that first started really warm enough, and then I

776
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,520

777
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,040

00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: don't I don't and you know this, I don't look

829
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 3: at myself in that way. I just look at myself

830
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 3: as someone who does music. I don't know if I

831
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 3: really look at myself as an artist or an executive.

832
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 3: I just look at myself as not even just does music,

833
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 3: who does entertainment. I want to be I always just

834
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: want to be in an entertainment world. So whatever that

835
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: job is at that time, I'm rolling with you. Know

836
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: what I mean, But Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco.

837
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: Bro which was crazy because you know, full transparency, San

838
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 2: Francisco was a problem. Is a tough market ticket wise,

839
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: tough market ticket wise, and those people showed up in

840
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 2: that room and went and acted though.

841
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, and you know, and I'll kind

842
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 3: of I'll talk about that because I'm from there, and

843
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 3: you and I had this conversation backstage.

844
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: Most of.

845
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 3: The urban community has been moved out, so the percentage

846
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: of our crowd honestly in San Francisco at this point

847
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: is very low. So you may get a trickle from

848
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 3: some of the people that are still in Oakland, which

849
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 3: they're moving us out of there too. You know, I'm

850
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 3: a Bay Area guy, so I you know, I mean,

851
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: I know these numbers. So people are moving closer to Sacramento.

852
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 3: Sacramento sold out, bigger venue, bigger everything, sold out a

853
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: lot faster, the whole thing because most of our black people,

854
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 3: it's just it's so expensive to live in San Francisco

855
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: and Oakland now that it's tougher to do concerts up there.

856
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 3: Because it's not only our concert that that was starting

857
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: to have it that was having issues there because I

858
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 3: really looked into it. A lot of the shows that

859
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 3: are coming up to the Bay Now, it's just it's

860
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: becoming trick here and trickier to really sell hard tickets

861
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 3: up there because it's tech and it's you know, people

862
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: that aren't listening to R and B and rapped and

863
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 3: urban music, you know what I'm saying. So it's just

864
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: a harder sell. But the people that that pulled up

865
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 3: for us, pulled all the way up, put it all

866
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: the way up all I'm talking about energy on the thousand.

867
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: That was family.

868
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, now that was Yeah, that one was That

869
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: was the toughest date for me because trying to accommodate yeah,

870
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, just accommodating all the people.

871
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: Obviously the ticket side of it is cool, but then

872
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: of course everybody wants to come backstage stage. The backstage

873
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: is that that that venue was only a hallway, so

874
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 3: it's like ship what.

875
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: Do I even figured it out? We figured it out

876
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: that we had a good time and we had a

877
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: good ass time that that concert. I was like, Okay,

878
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: this this conce or.

879
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: I can go, but I ain't got to go crazy,

880
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Because you know, it may

881
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 2: not be crazy in capacity. You know what I'm saying.

882
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 2: We got, we got Vegas is the last show. It's

883
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,799

00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,239

1127
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 3: feel like we're growing, you know what I mean? Like

1128
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 3: they said, if you you know, if you really want

1129
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 3: to grow, you got to be uncomfortable. And I feel

1130
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 3: like as a team, we're growing. We're adding to our repertoire,

1131
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: as they will say, by being able to say no,

1132
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 3: we can do that.

1133
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Yep, we know what it takes to do that. On

1134
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: a level. We didn't fold.

1135
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 3: We had moments where we could have folded, bro, Like

1136
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 3: we had moments where we could have folded where it

1137
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 3: was like who all, right.

1138
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,600

1139
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I think that's that's

1140
01:03:58,880 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: it was.

1141
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,720
