<v Speaker 2>Sorry, well I heard it. It messes with the algorithms.

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's probably true.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:43.879

<v Speaker 1>I missing a market?

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Not yet? If you recorded me in two months, you would.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Be okay hopefully, Alana and I real know, okay, okay,

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but I'm really excited to have Weezy. I met you

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>probably over a year ago, and literally like, I just

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I love everything you're about and I plan to take notes.

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, but what do you have us eating as

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>your broke dish today?

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, my broke dish today is gourmet maca cheese because

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, well, gourmet meat and macajeese because I

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 3>don't like to say hot dogs. It sounds cheap, and

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>the meal is cheap, But like when broke, I was like,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I need to feel full fast, and I always thought

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>that was like a protein and carbs, and so hot

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>dogs and macaroni and cheese like the easiest thing, even

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 3>though by itself, I feel like it tastes like shit.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>So I just tried to dress it up what I had.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw that.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw these extra ingredients, and I didn't know which

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>direction your meal was going. So for our listeners, can

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you say what is in.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The gourmet mecha cheese?

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>So I'm gonna be real with you. Allive oil is

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>very expensive when your rope like this is what eight

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 3>dollars for this? Maybe ten?

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Probably?

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I would use criscal but virgin olive oil. Lorry,

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how to say his name, but Tony Shiericus,

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I just call it Tony seasoning, Tony creole. So we

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>have the mixing bowls. I don't know why.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh I thought you were gonna drain the mac and

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>cheese water.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I didn't even have a bad I didn't

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 3>have a what's it called. I would take the top,

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 3>pour it out.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we usually do that on the show. By the way,

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>this is just a fruit strainer.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>But go on, what's the ingredients?

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 3>I like Nathan's. I'm not sure why. Hebrew National wasn't

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 3>my thing, but Nathan's was like the skinny ones. Like Nathan's,

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 3>We've got the cutting board of the knife so that

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>you can slice up the hot dogs, onions, butter, and milk.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Awesome.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Now it's funny because I've done mac and cheese before.

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>In my greatest accomplishment was adding tuna to the mac

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and cheese. Okay, but I am excited because there's so much.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't go together. So I think it's the loster mac

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 3>and cheese and that's it.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I was broke. I didn't. I don't even know there.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But but no, I'm excited because this is my first

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>time ever in the history of living on this earth

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>having gourmet mac and cheese.

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 2>And it's really cool.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 3>You know what I actually put in myra?

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Look you getting all hyped into it? What what?

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Now that I'm getting money when I make Gromet

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 3>mac and cheese for overall, I put like five different

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 3>type of cheeses in it, and I put a little

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 3>bit of beer whenever I Yes, I can't remember where

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I learned about the beer from. But it's something about

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>the yeast and the beer. Oh my god, you can

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 3>taste it. It's so good. Beer costs extra money, so

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 3>I felt like I shouldn't added that.

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>No, no, but that's your But you now that you

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>make money, you actually.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Do to a still a twist on gormet maca cheer.

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, you're hilarious. My mom hates it. She's like,

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 3>this is so ridiculous because every Thanksgiving we have hers,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 3>which is classic big mac burn at the top, and

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 3>then mine is the bougie back.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>And you're mixed, right, So is your mom black?

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.559
<v Speaker 3>My mom is black and my dad's is really okay,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe it should be Hebrew national.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>You're hilarious.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>My dad is Jewish and my mom is Jamaican. So

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I have the same black and white mix because I

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>never ever meet it where the mom is black and

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the dad is white. Whenever I see someone like that,

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hey, that's crazy, all right.

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 3>You always see the other people was like, you're like

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 3>black and Jewish, You're like Drake.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, it used to be Lenny was the big thing

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>back in the day. People don't know nothing, You not

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>these young kids. But all right, weezy. So I am

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>dying to try this gourmet mac.

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 3>So come away. It's not gonna be good. Why you

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 3>say that, because think about the stuff we eat today.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you eat shitty meals all the time.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh let me tell you. I'm getting to the point

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>where I'm gonna start rating it. And I've been because

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been pretty nice. Someone made tuna castrole.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna get me caught up. But this it was.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Literally it's tuna castrole and the pickled egg is the

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>worst dish for me on the on the shell.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>If people said the worst pickled eg? Have you had

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 2>a pickled egg?

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 3>I thought castroles are for Caucasians. And this is the

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Black Blact Network. It was.

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>It was two black sisters that owned a all black

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>owned store that carries all black owned and they made

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>a tuna castrole and it was absolutely that's terrible.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Putting the olive oil in the pan for the onions

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 3>because I like it to.

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Caramel lote, okay, okay, But.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Also I'm gonna boil the hot dogs, start boiling the macacheese.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 3>And while that's boiling, that's where I'd just be trying

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 3>to get the flavor with the onions, and shit tastes

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>like extra.

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I just learned the other day that some people seasoned

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the onions. Are you one of those people?

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Am I Karen? Now it was it was a black girl. Damn,

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I expect her

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:11.799
<v Speaker 3>to be black.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 2>You you said you're a carot. You want to know.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Something that's just too black? My mom, every time she

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 3>watches my dog, won't feed the dog dog food. It's

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 3>only like chicken, right, And I was like, Mom, why

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 3>is that chicken color different? Oh well, it has a

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 3>little garlic powder and just a little season on it.

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>She seas in the dog's foods there's too bland, no way.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 3>And every time I got the dog be peen out

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 3>of its ask. Actually, there's a very special day and

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>week for me. By the way, my parents, I moved

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 3>them to LA so they're flying tonight.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>You moved them.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 3>They live in Orlando, so literally I'm New York Orlando, LA.

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, I can't do this triangle. It's

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 3>got to be one back and forth, okay. So I

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 3>just wanted them closer to me, so that that to

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.239
<v Speaker 3>me was like a big life goal that's summer Orlando.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 1>First of all, that's a yeah, cause it would have

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>been cheaper to move from LA to Orlando.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 2>You moved them to a more expensive market.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I want them to be closer to me. This is

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>where all my work is happening. And like, yeah, I mean,

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Orlando's where I'm from. So it was Honda Go on

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>my birthday this year. I went to suspend it with

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 3>my father. My dad, he's in a wheelchair, so it's

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot more difficult for him to visit me like

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>my mom does. People probably see my mom all over

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>my content. But my dad was like, damn, I wish

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 3>I could watch TV with you all the time. I

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 3>wish we could have these moments together, Like I wish

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I could be in LA with you and your mom.

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, well, shit, you guys could be there,

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 3>and so yeah, I mean to me, it's crazy to

<v Speaker 2>Sorry.

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 3>So I actually grew up with money and there was

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 3>a stock market crash that happened that lost my parents

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 3>some money, and then my dad ended up having a

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 3>stroke that kept him out of work. And so after that,

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I ended up dating a guy. It was just like

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 3>rich boyfriend that was paying for my school and then

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 3>he was very abusive. Broke up with him and then

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 3>that stopped. My parents couldn't really afford to college. I

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 3>had to help them out because my dad had this stroke.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 3>So started working at the mall, White House black market

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 3>clothing stores like a hand tailor.

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Bike yeah, yeah, a little bit high play, yeah, high class.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 3>That's my first I did, did you steal anything from them?

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Like a few things? Okay, good, good, But then I

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 3>realized once I had to stop, I wasn't like stealing

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 3>for real, for real, Okay, it was just a little shit.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 3>And then one day I wore something to work and

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 3>she was like, I didn't know you got that dress,

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.439
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, ah. The craziest thing was I

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 3>went to jail and ended up having it was for

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 3>my license. Everybody thinks it was something worse. It was

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 3>for my license, and I had a GPS monitor on

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 3>my foot, and so I had to always wear Maxi

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 3>dresses to work, or like super big boots.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>To cover you got one of those ankle monitors.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, no way, all working at my house like market.

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>It was terrible. So then I think I was helping

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 3>a woman that worked at a T mobile store and

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I was selling her mad shit. She's like, you're really

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 3>good at sales. How much she's making here. I don't

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>remember what it was, fucking ten dollars an hour, but

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 3>my commission would be good, so it'd be up to

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty or thirty. And she was like, I can make

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>you double a tea mobile with the way you saw.

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh now, I knew nothing about cel phone. She's like,

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.439
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to just have to be cute. It's

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 3>funny because I went on a date the other day,

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 3>this nigga said, you look like a bitch. She used

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 3>to work its emobile. I used to tie my little

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 3>shirt up like this and be like, what kind of

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 3>on y'all want? I was gonna sell it to all

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 3>the top niggas, the prepaid lines in the box because

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 3>you weren't supposed to legally sell them a new number

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 3>every month. Oh, so niggas would come in. I just

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 3>fucking keeps wiping the shit whatever. So ended up being

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 3>so good at T mobile selling shit. I think my

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>first year working there, I was like twenty two twenty three.

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 3>I made like ninety thousand dollars. Get the heck out crazy.

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 3>They don't pay it over that way no more. Yeah,

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 3>but like I was selling selling something. The iPhone was

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 3>hot back then, and it just came out and literally

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 3>was fucking flying to Europe, just like experiencing life. Living

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 3>life still had a shitty car with windows, didn't go down,

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 3>But I just spent all my money and experiences, and

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.839
<v Speaker 3>what I realized from those experiences, like, oh, I got

0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 3>to get more and more and more. Every time you

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 3>taste a little bit of luxury, now you need more

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and more and more, you know. So from there, ended

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.319
<v Speaker 3>up training T Mobile staff in Florida. Then I ended

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 3>up managing a store, and then they moved me to

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>New York to work in corporate. And now not saying

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't have made it to New York alone, but

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I did have a sugar daddy then.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And so he was like a legit sugar daddy,

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>like what you envisioned in the movies, Like he wasn't

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.800

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh he paper, Oh yeah, like some bitches have a

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:27.960

<v Speaker 2>Plane, he had he had a plane.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Oh he was like legit okay, Oh my god.

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 3>He was so rich. And I met him working in

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 3>mother fucking T Mobile. He came in, he had like

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 3>three hundred lines for his company and he was like,

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm with Rise and Da Da Da, but his daughter

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 3>wanted something that was only a T mobile. I was like,

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 3>why don't you move your lines over? And he's like, honey,

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't do T Mobile Like this is that's very

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>so I think I saved him like twenty five grand

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 3>a month, and he said he was gonna give me

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.560

<v Speaker 3>Oh you're saying. When he knew I was gonna leave Orlando,

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 3>He's like, sweetie, I can't have you leave me. I

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 3>was thinking about getting a place in New York. Anyway.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.320

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 3>was Midtown fifty fourth and eighth. And it's so funny

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.840

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is it when did you have the epiphany that you.

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Were the rich guy? I damn, that's a good feeling.

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to have that feeling.

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 3>It was, It wasn't the first time I felt that was.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 3>I was in Paris with my mom and I took

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 3>her for a birthday and I wanted to fly her

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 3>first class, but I use like an upgrade to getting

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>points then, you know, because like first class, I'd be

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 3>like ten fifteen thousand for them. Lay down. And when

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 3>we got there, we get to the hotel and it

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 3>was really nice, and she's like, oh, what's our room? Like, oh,

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 3>are we have two separate rooms? And every little thing

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 3>my mom was starting to count in her head, like

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 3>how much was my daughter making?

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she said, we.

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Got our own rooms. Okay. Then we go to the store.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you want something, I'll just get a lipstick.

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, no, Mom, you can get more. You can

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 3>get a bag.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Your mom was like, what the break is happening?

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 3>She was bugging out. And then we walk outside of

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 3>the protest store and there's a hotel very famous called

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 3>the Plaza A. My mom was telling me how princes

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>would take her to dinner there. When she was young

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and she would meet all these guys when she was

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 3>traveling in Europe and this was like the place to go.

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, do you want to have dinner there?

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 3>And that was when like it hit my mom. She

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 3>got really emotional and she's like, I cannot fucking believe

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing this with you. My mom is seventy seventieth

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 3>birthday at the time.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you said stay out the lane, so I'm staying.

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching it.

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I get cooked for.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Her now, Yo. You ain't been in the kitchen in

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a while.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I cooked this morning.

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Yo, I'm sorry you told me that. You told me

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to stay out the kitchen, and.

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 1>We almost about to burn down the whole even know

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>if you don't on there to be on the wood part.

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 3>No, I can't. I was looking for another conterract. Okay,

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I'll move it to this one the ale I tried to.

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I love it, No, but it was.

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 3>It was beautiful because my mom really was just so

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 3>excited for me, so proud of me. I do remember,

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, we still niggas at the end of the day,

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Like we sitting here with these fucking Louis bags and

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 3>all these expensive shopping bags and literally, my mom orders

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 3>a drink. She looks at me and she said, oh shit,

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 3>that was forty three dollars. She was let me sip slow.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 3>But it's really great because for me, like I don't

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 3>have kids yet, so like spoiling my parents just it's

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 3>like dream come true. Shit for me.

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I can only imagine.

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I really really have wanted this for myself my life,

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and like I love doing it for my mom. My

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 3>mom thinks I'm Beyonce. Like if we walk into a

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 3>place and can't get in, like you don't know how

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 3>my daughter is called Charlemagne. It's just my mom is

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 3>like my daughter's on TV and they're like, really, what anfuse?

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I mean I feel really proud to do that.

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, and they come tonight. This is a big

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>freaking deal.

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 3>She's gonna get her nerves well.

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 2>And luckily you moved it right down the street.

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I did.

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:12.239
<v Speaker 5>So.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:13.919
<v Speaker 3>My mom wanted to get rid of her car. She

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 3>was like, I think I'm getting old. She had a

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 3>little moment. We were looking for her apartment and she

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.400
<v Speaker 3>saw me parallel park. She started crying. I'm like, what's

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 3>wrong with you? She's like, I'm older than I thought.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I can do this shit. I

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 3>got to get rid of my car, like I'm an

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 3>old lady. What if I hit somebody? Thought? And so

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 3>we sold her car. And I'm a little nervous because

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, parents don't want to give up too much

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 3>of their autonomy. They need to be able to do

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 3>shit for themselves. So you know, I hope she can't

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 3>moved her in a walkable neighborhood. She'll figure it out.

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And then now are they still together? So he's

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>when does your dad comes?

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 3>So my dad comes in tonight. He's just like as

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 3>a hospital visit, and it's a little more extensive when

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.439
<v Speaker 3>someone's like fully in a wheelchair. So I wanted my

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 3>mom to have a few days to herself. I'll take

0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 3>care of my dad and then you know, okay, she's

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 3>moved and a lot of shit they've lived.

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>There forever, Okay, Okay, So yeah, it's a big deal.

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about go back to your broke story, okay,

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>because I want to know how this elevation because it

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>seems like somewhere around your elevation that was like a

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>speed track.

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 3>So the broke miss the brokest I think i'd been

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 3>was when I left the abusive X, right, he only

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 3>let me keep barely the clothes that I had that

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I had when I like got with him.

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Are we talking like emotional or physical abuse?

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Physical and emotional? He was crazy. I mean, I don't

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 3>know how dark you can get on the show. But like,

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know it was bad because I just

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 3>kind of thought when a man is paying for things

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 3>for you, like you deal with a little bit of something, right, Yeah,

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 3>And so to me, if you never close your fist,

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I thought that was fine. I never realized how the

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 3>steps of you know, physical violence can be.

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 3>So when I left him, he didn't give me anything.

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 3>It was really tough. I mean, mind you, I went

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 3>from when I was a kid having a driver drive

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.679
<v Speaker 3>me to school that's how my parents were, to like

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 3>literally figuring out what I was gonna do with the

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 3>last pot holes, right, So it was really tough. And

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't ask my parents for anything, didn't want to

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 3>tell them how bad it was.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, so when I moved, he didn't want

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to tell them because they were already struggling.

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And then I can't imagine how my mom would feel.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:23.919
<v Speaker 3>She's like, oh my god, was like excited about you

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.439
<v Speaker 3>having this rich boyfriend? Yeah, oh yeah, you know. So

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 3>ended up finding a place I think it was seven

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 3>hundred a month, split the rent with a homegirls, a

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 3>two bedroom in Orlando. He was right by Walmart, thank god,

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 3>because that's where I was buying all the fucking hot dogs,

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 3>the mac and cheese. Wrong, but my number one broke

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 3>thing I would do. So I used to hang with

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:47.120
<v Speaker 3>all the trap news because hello, that was my jam okay,

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 3>and I'm from Florida, right, so like southern culture, big

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 3>car shows, HBC's like it was just fun and basically

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>what I would do if they were going to like

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 3>buy a bottle or a table in the club, I

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 3>would see if I had like maybe thirty dollars to

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 3>my account so that it would overdraft, I'd have them

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 3>give me the cash. And that was like my payday

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:05.400
<v Speaker 3>loan to myself.

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, hold that You are like really in deep

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 1>when you think of that strategy.

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 3>My roommate and I at the time. I remember we

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 3>both got paid on different weeks. So there was a

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Thursday and we both got paid that or I got

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 3>paid that Friday. I was like, damn, we don't have

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 3>detergent left, but we want to go to the club.

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 3>We had like twenty bucks. She was like, okay, we

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:31.159
<v Speaker 3>get vodka or detergent, and we got vodka. Okay, we

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 3>use some body washing like clean shit. In the same

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:34.239
<v Speaker 3>we were like, we got to go out and meet

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>niggas to make more money. And it's crazy that, like

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 3>that was what I thought being able to have success.

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Look like I got to meet a rich guy, I

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.520

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, my life, I think I'm better than you.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.199
<v Speaker 3>The problem is, like I think now, a lot of

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the dudes are in my industry right, so like the

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 3>people that I'm working amongst, I can't be out here

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 3>like trying to fuck with these niggas for bread like

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I used to. Don't get me wrong, I would still

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 3>want Toby, but like for real, like you know, it's

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 3>like they'll know me from somewhere. I've seen me on something,

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 3>so I don't want to be a bird. Then I

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 3>just end up, you know, a bird with these niggas.

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 1>But whatever, I'll tell you right now, I am learning

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and I am done. So you know, if you ever

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 1>find a rich one, you can always slide on. Heyko,

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yeah, because I've actually I've never actually dated

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a rich dude.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 3>My damnsel in distress thing all the time was just

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:55.199
<v Speaker 3>like I just really want to be able to like

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 3>out my you know, home parents, And it was true.

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 3>I was like, so, I'm just like working really hard

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 3>and I can't ut work college. But just like I'm

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 3>really smart. I read a lot. I was always like

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 3>doing a fucking sob story, which I'll tell you what,

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 3>my sugar daddy. A lot of the things that I

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 3>think helped me now are the stock tips and investment

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 3>tips I got for my sugar daddy.

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>But didn't didn't you say, were your parents in stock markets?

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Too though it crash okay, So you didn't want to

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:25.439
<v Speaker 1>take tips from them, were you?

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Like No?

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 3>But you know, with him, particularly my sugar daddy, I

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 3>remember he would get up at four o'clock in the morning,

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 3>five o'clock in the morning and watch the market, to

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 3>watch the markets in China wherever, just international stocks four

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 3>x right, things like that, and it never made me

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.679
<v Speaker 3>want his money. I always wanted to be him. I

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 3>always wanted to be that person that just had this, this, this,

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 3>this and that to me that was so attractive about him.

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 3>People used to always ask me how I could fuck

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 3>him and shit like that, and I was like, bro,

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 3>you don't know how rich the person is. You don't

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 3>know how how much that drives me. The ambition that

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 3>made him sexier and sexier. So one day I eventually

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 3>just asked him like, hey, I really want to learn

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 3>the stock market, but like, you know, what, can I

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.400
<v Speaker 3>put like five hundred dollars in? And he's like, that's

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 3>not a start. I'll give you ten thousand dollars if

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 3>you can make it grow. I forgot the timeframe. He said,

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 3>I'll reward you with another ten and he did wow,

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 3>And I kept growing it and growing it. I think

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 3>at the time I even put the money in T

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Mobile think it opened, became a publicly traded company when

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I worked there, became publicly traded and then it was

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.400
<v Speaker 3>six dollars and then they went up to like thirty

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:33.120
<v Speaker 3>and I probably get.

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 5>A lot of money.

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>So when you were doing the podcast, and this is

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.400
<v Speaker 1>before I want to say, before everybody was on podcasting correct,

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>seven years ago? Yeah, I mean it was like before

0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the New wave or were you guys early in.

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 3>We were very early, and like people were very really

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 3>doing video, I think for popular podcasts, just for scale.

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how you're mixing water and oil and

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting burns.

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm standing away. I'm trying to like I didn't have

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 3>a grill, okay, but I'm trying to get that real plate.

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, you know what I mean.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, gourmet continue.

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to derail you.

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 3>This is fucking me up. This is hard. I can't

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:29.640
<v Speaker 3>even listen to music when I cook one.

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 1>You would be surprised how many people will at the

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 1>after each interview, they'll be like yo, cooking and talking

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>at the same time.

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Really really difficult because.

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 3>You're like knowing that you have to engage, like that's

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 3>what's making it.

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>And you have to like tell your story the entire time.

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I'm about to start telling you some lies.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>No no, So so your sugar baby is sugar babe,

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.439
<v Speaker 1>sugar daddy, so that would make you the sugar baby, right,

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>sugar baby. Okay, okay, I'm going to be a sugar baby.

0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get a shirt Baisy Bros.

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Every time I was out with him, I would take

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 3>him to like fucking any and this when I just

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.679
<v Speaker 3>moved to New York. Catch just just came out at

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 3>the time, and SGK was super popular. I remember all

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 3>them niggas if you be looking at me with him,

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 3>and I'd be like, come on, babe. Also just turned

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 3>on knowing that he had to fuck me for money,

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.919
<v Speaker 3>uh huh, which is terrible, but I was okay, it

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 3>was sexy to me, like especially when I remember he

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 3>would be like, you want to get some clothes and

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I would always want to get a little Nike askict

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 3>to ship you know many all the niggas of you

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 3>in Yeah, he's my daddy, but so anyway, start horrible decisions.

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>But I like how you were actually inspired by his

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>moves versus well, I don't want to say I like,

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's interesting that you were inspired by him being

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>successful to be even more successful, and you you took

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the initiative to even say, hey, I want to learn

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing and do it on my own, which

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>was great.

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 3>It's like I always wanted this sex in the city

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.119
<v Speaker 3>life mm hmm, but I never felt like any of

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.719
<v Speaker 3>them needed men to live that life. Yeah, and so

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to have the girlfriends that I was wearing

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 3>an amazing designer with and fucking enjoying fashion show and

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 3>doing this shit. But I knew if I was tied

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 3>to a man, I wouldn't have that freedom. And I

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 3>had also experienced my first relationship a man with money

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.439
<v Speaker 3>and abuse, so I was like, I have to have

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 3>it on my own. I can't be down again. And

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, I hate to say it like this, but

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 3>my mom was a housewife her whole life. And what

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:25.640
<v Speaker 3>happened to my parents with losing their I mean their

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 3>house got four clothes on right, the home that I

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 3>SETI grew up in. It's like it was tough to

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 3>watch them go through that. And I think about two

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 3>incomes or just diversifying shit what that would have meant.

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 3>So that really fueled me a lot. And it's tough

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 3>for my mom to hear that.

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but why have you had those sidebar conversations?

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, definitely, But it's not easy. Like my mom

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.679
<v Speaker 3>is so amazing, but there's moments where she's like, oh

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.199
<v Speaker 3>my god, I never taught you to go out there

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:53.919
<v Speaker 3>and do it alone.

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>But look at you.

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 3>In a way, you're you know, well I made money

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 3>off of person.

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Well you make money because you're a gangster entrepreneur.

0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>That's really it. I mean the personality. I mean, in

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, the personality is just like the cherry on

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the cake.

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.119
<v Speaker 3>But you know what, I'm a feller at heart. And

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 3>my father that's what he did growing up. He owned

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 3>like camera stores and like you know the little row

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.439
<v Speaker 3>like stores back in the day they'd have where they

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 3>were selling electronic these shops. That was my dad's like

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 3>line of work. Okay, And when I was growing up,

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean this shit, that's what I started selling clothes

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 3>T mobile by then then, like literally everything about it

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 3>felt like selling to me. You know, Like it's interesting

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 3>the way Mandy and I have kind of done our business.

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I always felt like she has really helped us so

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 3>much when it comes in terms of our finances.

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 3>She had a financial background, and even though I came

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 3>from the tech world, was selling like I mean, I'm

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:58.479
<v Speaker 3>the first person when we're on a call that's like

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to do it for this much, this or that.

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.360
<v Speaker 3>And like I loved that. We've been able to play

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 3>up both of our corporate roles in that. Yeah, and

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I've got a lot of seller blood in me. My

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 3>partner Alex now with WTF Media Studios. Anytime we have

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 3>a big deal or he sees someone's budget, he's like, oh,

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.439
<v Speaker 3>you have to sell them on the phone. You have

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 3>to tell them why. And I really enjoy it. It makes

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:21.880
<v Speaker 3>me feel like I still got it a little bit.

0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I I always say this that I think I used

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to always say. When I have a child, I want

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to teach her how to read, I want to teach

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.640
<v Speaker 1>her financial literacy, I want to teach her about God.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>But the number one skill that she has to have

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.680
<v Speaker 1>before she graduates high school is the ability to sell.

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Because I think it is the most underrated skill.

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And if you're going to go work for yourself, the

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 1>number one thing you're gonna have to do is sell

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a product, sell yourself. And so I don't buy anything, yep.

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>And I remember when I had my first company. I

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>remember going to home deep or office depot and buying

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>those little sale books and you know how well out

0:28:58.040 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the hair pulled back and all.

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 2>This and whatever.

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>But I knew right away that sales is the one skill.

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And I would listen to all these audio tapes too

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 1>about like how people you know you're almost nervous getting

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>into it.

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, what's interesting about selling too? I know Mandy and

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 3>I had a conversation about this, Like, so I never

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 3>finished college because I couldn't afford to finish it because

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I got out of that relationship, right, m I don't

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 3>want it to splatter in all this equipment. I don't

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 3>normally do it like this. But Mandy at the time

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 3>coming off of two degrees working for this huge firm,

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 3>and she was working more hours and not making as

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 3>much as me in accounting at that time. I understand

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 3>it was junior level. Yeah, but I think about that

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot, and I think about the money you can

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 3>make from selling all the time, and I think about

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 3>that instance of like, shit, maybe she's smarter than me.

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 3>But why isn't she making it up? And it's because

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 3>that particular skill really can't be taught real you can't.

0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you gotta practice it and practice it and practice

0:29:58.240 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it and practice it.

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I believe Mandy is greater than what was

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 3>I going to say, you know, the job that she had,

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 3>and that's why she's making way more and doing way

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 3>more things now. But yeah, I mean it's definitely a thing.

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, with selling doing shit like that, had horrible

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 3>decisions on the side, and it was really difficult to

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 3>juggle both. And so about two years into doing horrible decisions,

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 3>I quit. But it was mainly because I was like,

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 3>you know what, if I ever wanted to come back

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 3>to this shit, I will, like I've been making jokes recently,

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:30.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh my god, me and fifteen years I'm

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 3>probably gonna be a real estate agent.

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So why did you quit? Two years?

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:38.719
<v Speaker 3>In the trajectory of horrible was faster than the trajectory

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 3>of corporate America. For example, how long do we work

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 3>a corporate job? Right, so you want to get promoted?

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I worked for Teambile six years. I got to be

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 3>a manager after year three and a half four, if

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 3>there's a spot for you. So to me, I kind

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 3>of just felt like this is moving faster than my

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 3>rate in the corporate world.

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you said you quit horrible.

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh sorry, quit my corporate.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, okay, Oh because you were like two years

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in I quit horrible.

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>No, you quit your corporate okay, okay.

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Got quit my corporate job after two years, and I

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 3>legitimately felt like it was not gonna make me.

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But I have to ask before, how much were you making?

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 1>It horrible to say, okay, not as you make it. Oh,

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you weren't making as much as T Mobile.

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing, because a lot of people ask

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 3>me when is the right time to quit a job,

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 3>and I can only explain it like this, starting Team Mobile,

0:31:34.240 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I made ninety thousand, ending I was around one seventy five, okay, which.

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Is damn T Mobile, Go ahead, go on.

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 3>It was like I was selling to companies that needed

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 3>like Ethernet I gradual disaster recovery, like I graduated from phones.

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 3>But basically this is what happens. So horrible decisions at

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 3>that time that I quit may have been making me

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand, maybe one twenty five from touring mainly

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 3>not even Patreon ad money, and.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>That's two years in. Yeah, geez, all right, go on.

0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 3>And I think the tour money because Mandy and I

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 3>were buying out theaters. We brought out Carolines on Broadway.

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 2>And you guys were physically doing it yourself.

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Splitting that money, paying ourselves back event bright type shit.

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 3>But what I realized was like, oh, took me six

0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 3>years to make ninety to one to seventy year, took

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 3>me two years from zero to one hundred. So next

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:30.000
<v Speaker 3>year I'm gonna make more. Yeah, let's just say I

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 3>make another fifty. It's worth it. Not to mention I

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 3>have more time on my hands. I could probably do

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 3>more appearances and more tour dates, so it's time to quit.

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I also remember one moment it was brilliant idiots. If

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 3>anyone watches that episode, I was literally wearing a suit

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 3>like a blazer and a skirt, but Mandy and I

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 3>had to like make an excuse to leave our jobs

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 3>that day to go shoot with charl Mane and Andrew.

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 3>So I think that it really will show you, like

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 3>when you have to start saying no to things. Oh

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, when you have to start saying no to

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 3>things because of your day job. Yes, maybe that's when

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 3>it's time, like when you're really getting booked like that,

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 3>like TV appearances even like I remember we did Vice

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Live and I couldn't be there early for the rehearsal

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 3>because of my job, And I was like, damn man,

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 3>and anyone who's watching this who might be semi getting entertainment,

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 3>whether you've got a TikTok or popular Instagram channel, you

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 3>want to do a Horrible Decisions podcast and maybe get

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 3>or even eating while robe. Who the fuck is gonna

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 3>do this shit at six thirty seven o'clock at night, right,

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 3>who's gonna do what? Like to have a guest? Yeah, entrepreneurs,

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Like all this shit gets filmed during the day. Yeah,

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 3>So it's really tough to have a nine to five

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 3>and pursue those entertainment dreams. And like that was why

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I got to figure the shit out.

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 3>I think my biggest success in this industry came during

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 3>the pandemic while pivoting. So made the TV show Sex Sells.

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 3>It's about the business of sex, having money, making money

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 3>from sex without having it. And I came up with

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 3>that because that's how I make money, right, I just

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 3>basically talk about sex covered all these adult industries and

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a TV star, and it ended up popping

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 3>on cues and that's why I'm one.

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 1>How did you did you package that yourself and then

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>start selling it? Or did you package it and then

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 1>started calling Charlemagne or different people you have relationship with

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and like, I have something that I need.

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 3>That's what made me the most proud. I didn't need

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 3>a co sign for that. Okay, I believe Horrible Decisions

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 3>had the Charlemagne co sign, and that's what made a

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of people watch in the beginning. I do believe

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Charlemagne made our success faster. Don't believe we're successful because

0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 3>it happened faster. But what happened with Sex Sells was

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:41.240
<v Speaker 3>like I just had so much time during the pandemic

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:44.280
<v Speaker 3>to think, and I knew my two loves were fucking

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 3>in money m hm, and so I was like, oh

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 3>my god, I should make the show. I want to

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 3>humanize sex workers, and literally people don't talk about their

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:52.799
<v Speaker 3>sex lives on it, and a lot of people have

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 3>said like, oh, it's like horrible Decisions on TV, but

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:56.359
<v Speaker 3>it's even.

0:34:56.160 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't sound like it. It sounds completely different because

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about this set, right.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm an interview a lot of the guests we had

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 3>so that I can, you know, show them some love

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 3>and they've got real businesses promote them. But no, it's

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:11.279
<v Speaker 3>totally different and I love doing it. It makes me.

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 3>It really brought me into the world of seeing how

0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:16.360
<v Speaker 3>production works, the larger skill budgets and money.

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.760
<v Speaker 1>So, but you pitched it yourself, That's what I'm saying,

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Like you went out there or did you have a

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>manager that helped you?

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 3>So it started slow. I didn't have a manager, never

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 3>had an agent ever.

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Basically, oh still to this date.

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 3>No, not personally, Damn, you're a gangster. I have a

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 3>person that gives I give them a cut of my

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 3>money if they do pr stuff for me, but if

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 3>they get me a deal. But yeah, So basically, there

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 3>was a guy that reached out to me months back

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:48.120
<v Speaker 3>before the pandemic was like, oh, do you want to

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 3>do this type of show? I was like, no pandemic

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.800
<v Speaker 3>hits and I was like, you know what, I wonder

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck he's doing. It's like he making TV?

0:35:56.280 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Is TV being made? And we started talking about what

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.879
<v Speaker 3>it would look like if we worked together and came

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 3>up with sex cells together. He worked at FEWS at

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 3>the time. Help me package it, oh, help me make

0:36:07.640 --> 0:36:10.359
<v Speaker 3>a bible. And we did it that way. But what

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 3>I will tell anyone that has a good TV idea

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 3>is people that work in development needs shows all the time.

0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:20.799
<v Speaker 3>I currently run development for Kenya Barris at Audible. Right, okay,

0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 3>don't send me shit right now, I'm done with that.

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 3>But like literally, I was wondering what shows we're gonna

0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 3>make for him, Like developers want to fucking know, and

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 3>if you have good ideas, shooting pilots, making decks, having

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.879
<v Speaker 3>a bible, having the demographics of why it would be good,

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:40.359
<v Speaker 3>not just coming in their blank like hey, I'm not

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 3>doing anything like I've been doing XYZ. Like if you

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 3>hit up the Food Network, you'd have how much to

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.879
<v Speaker 3>show them? So real? You know what I mean.

0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take notes. Remember how I said I'll take it.

0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Notes, goge you did, But like here it is, here's

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 3>my spread, and this is what I do with this

0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:58.280
<v Speaker 3>type of budget. Imagine if you gave me fifty thousand

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 3>an episode, I could be doing it on the load.

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 3>I could be coming to their homes. I could be

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 3>X y Z. Like, there's so many different ways for

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 3>the things that we're making right now to make them

0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 3>next level. Yeah, and so I think that we just

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of have to use our network. Like my biggest

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 3>thing with playing chess is making sure that I'm rubbing

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 3>elbows with those that can one day need to use

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 3>me for something I need.

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:27.320
<v Speaker 2>To use you. That's awesome, Yeah.

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Because the thing is, I remember Charlotte, he said this

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 3>about someone they were like. He was like, that person

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 3>is such an opportunist, And I was like, I wonder

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:38.760
<v Speaker 3>if that's who I am. But really, I don't ask

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:41.080
<v Speaker 3>I let every single person know what the fuck I do.

0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I just had a dinner where I sat down next

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:45.919
<v Speaker 3>to one of the most famous comedians in the world.

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know if this person can travel on

0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:51.200
<v Speaker 3>a commercial plane, that's how famous they are, right. Wow.

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 3>When they asked me what I do, didn't even say

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a podcast thing. I was like, I own a production

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 3>studio in New York and La Black owned. We shoot

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 3>podcasts mainly, but we also have a mobile team Boom.

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Now it's in your brain. Now you know what you

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 3>can use me for, Like that's the job I felt

0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 3>like I needed to sell to that person at the time.

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 3>When I talk to TV show, TV networks or people

0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:11.799
<v Speaker 3>that work in Netflix or different things like that I host,

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:13.879
<v Speaker 3>I do this, I do that right, Like I want

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 3>to make sure that I'm useful to people that I've

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 3>rebed elros with.

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think your sales skills like shines through. I

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 1>always say, like, sales is more about paying attention to

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:26.479
<v Speaker 1>what the customer wants, listening to them, and.

0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Then catering to their needs.

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.799
<v Speaker 1>That's just trying to sell someone something that they don't

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 1>want to buy. So even the way you're talking is

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>like your sales skills are just really amazing. Yeah, because

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:39.240
<v Speaker 1>that's how it is. You're supposed to sell. You're supposed

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to you know, if someone walks up to me right now,

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna think about, you know, what it is they're

0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna need or want from me.

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Correct. You know, that's a really good point because I

0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.279
<v Speaker 3>didn't even think about me selling myself in that way,

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 3>but like, damn it is.

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:51.799
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:55.600
<v Speaker 1>But now opportunists is different, because opportunists are I always

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:58.240
<v Speaker 1>say I want to be a business person, not a hustler,

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like a hustler is like, I'm gonna

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:03.240
<v Speaker 1>take advantage, someone's gonna get a short end of a stick.

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 1>But a business person is like, we're all gonna win.

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:07.479
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna walk away with your piece of the pie.

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 1>She's gonna walk away with her piece of pie, and

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna walk away with my piece, and no one

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:12.280
<v Speaker 1>feels to agreed.

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.719
<v Speaker 3>You can never make someone feel like they're doing you

0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 3>a favor.

0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like at all.

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Charlotte Mine was lucky and lucky enough to

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 3>make horrible decisions with his rollout on Black Effect. I

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 3>know there's eighty five South all the smoke, and I

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 3>literally was thinking to myself the other day, Charla Mane

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 3>is Charlot Mane, But horrible decisions was still good enough

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 3>to where Black Effects was like, oh, we do need

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 3>those numbers, but we sell to add people like I

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 3>don't want to fucking suck anybody's dick to feel like,

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not talking about that instance, but just anyone like,

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 3>thank you so much for giving this to you. Yeah yeah,

0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:45.960
<v Speaker 3>when you know your value, Yeah yeah, we have to

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:48.760
<v Speaker 3>make sure that we're definitely pouring into ourselves in that way.

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 3>But I mean shit. You know, I love fuse to death,

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 3>but I also know my show brings number then and

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:56.359
<v Speaker 3>I know that's why they treat me well. They love

0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:59.800
<v Speaker 3>me too, like we're definitely doing what we need to

0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 3>do for each other. Like I'm so happy to be

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.879
<v Speaker 3>on a network that you know I can be their

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 3>most watch show. Like maybe if I was on an

0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 3>HBO or some Netflix, maybe I would just kind of

0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 3>go under the radar.

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. Maybe, I honestly don't think so.

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, I don't think so. I'm not even trying

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to be not Well, what was your hardest hurdle?

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it just to come to day because I

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.239
<v Speaker 1>feel like you have a lot of great pivots. But like,

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.759
<v Speaker 1>where was there a point where you were like I

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know, hmm, that you seriously like had that conversation off.

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, And it could have been my studio.

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, my studio, which is the best thing I've ever done. Actually,

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 3>my studio gave me the seal of approval to be

0:40:57.040 --> 0:41:00.239
<v Speaker 3>bigger than just a podcaster, Like that was really when

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I became a businesswoman. No matter how hard Mandy and

0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I have worked, I never felt like that and it's

0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:06.879
<v Speaker 3>no shade to her. I don't know if it's because

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 3>with women. I don't know if it's because we talk

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:10.439
<v Speaker 3>about sex, but like I had to do something else

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:14.680
<v Speaker 3>for myself to feel like I could be respected. And

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 3>it really shows something about brick and mortar spaces to

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 3>make people feel very like, oh, they're really doing something,

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 3>which is weird. But it's also because I started getting

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:24.919
<v Speaker 3>other people money, Like.

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Thought, what was the hesitancy, Like where was that hesitancy at?

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Like where was that pain that investment? Right, my partner

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Alex shout out to him. We spent an insane amount

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:38.279
<v Speaker 3>of money on fucking equipment, which is why we have

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 3>one of the best studios right, Like literally, I was like,

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 3>how can we be charging people this little but like

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 3>our equipment is so fucking expensive, like it doesn't add

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 3>up or whatever. Yeah, and he was like, Yo, that's

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 3>why everybody's gonna come with us, to know that the

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 3>podcasters like us can be there and then the Charlottamanees

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 3>of the world or whoever they may be. David Letterman wasn't.

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Our shit, Oh shit, right, Okay.

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 3>He's like to know these people and okay, you can

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 3>sit amongst them like we're gonna be for all of them,

0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:08.640
<v Speaker 3>and that's really been our brand. I believe that's why

0:42:08.640 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 3>we're growing. I mean, we get resumes like fucking crazy

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 3>every day.

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So how long did it take when you so you

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:19.040
<v Speaker 1>made that initial investment. The by the way, you're cooking

0:42:19.160 --> 0:42:21.400
<v Speaker 1>like we are in a rich restaurant.

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Because the point look at all the food.

0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.879
<v Speaker 1>She made, and it's like, I feel like I'm about

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to eat an appetizer.

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Gormet.

0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 3>You try to make it look clean and minimally.

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 1>When the cameras are off, I'm gonna just go in

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with a fork and just eat everything direct.

0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I know it.

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I'm starving and you gave me like an appetizer.

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 3>It's fucking hot dogs.

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Girl.

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to see you sit down next to this

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 1>mic and spend quality time with me.

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, let's try this. It looks good but.

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 5>Not bad.

0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 3>You look, there's the onions.

0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised you didn't mix these in together.

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Funny enough, my co host talks about Haitian spaghetti and

0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 3>it's hot dogs in it. I never mixed the hot

0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:12.399
<v Speaker 3>dogs a pasta. But this is kind of good.

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 2>This ship is amazing. Did you mix it all on

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 2>one for it.

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 3>I'll put it together on I don't want to touch

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:18.479
<v Speaker 3>on the plate.

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:22.400
<v Speaker 2>For all y'all listeners. The hot dog and the onions smack.

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I definitely will mess with Nathan's just because I feel

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:26.880
<v Speaker 1>like maybe it tastes different or I just haven't had

0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a hot dog in a while. But the freaking grilled

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 1>onions and mac and cheese cheese is genius. Bro I

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I've never thought of seasoning up my

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:38.280
<v Speaker 1>mac and cheese.

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:41.760
<v Speaker 2>But the grilled onions, it's crunchy, it's amazing.

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I am so happy.

0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I am very impressible. The only thing is.

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I would maybe add and I don't even know, but

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>do you agree? Would you add more salt to the

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:56.160
<v Speaker 1>mac and cheese?

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh? I put salt on my stuff, but I don't

0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 3>want to do that to people.

0:43:58.719 --> 0:43:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, that's what.

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 3>The lorries for you. You know, sodium is a bitch nowadays.

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 3>M Plus, there's a lot of salt in that Tony

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Sharia whatever name is.

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So for a girl that came from money, went broke,

0:44:13.120 --> 0:44:16.600
<v Speaker 1>had sugar daddies, and it's self made to the point

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of flying your family in from Orlando to La still

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:25.399
<v Speaker 1>in the early early I don't even want to say

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:29.000
<v Speaker 1>how early thirties she is because all of us are listening.

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you believe that much you've accomplished. It's amazing.

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 3>You know. Sometimes I get scared like I'll lose it,

0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:41.040
<v Speaker 3>But then I realize the hunger that I have to

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:45.280
<v Speaker 3>help everybody around me is too deep. It's too intense

0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:46.480
<v Speaker 3>that I don't think it could happen.

0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Now do you deal with well?

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>You said you have multiple companies. You're definitely spread. It

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>sounds to me like you're spread pretty thin. I'm so

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:56.319
<v Speaker 1>happy you shared that because I always think that maybe

0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing something wrong if I have so many hustles

0:44:58.480 --> 0:44:59.399
<v Speaker 1>going at the same time.

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, there is something to be said about a

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:06.439
<v Speaker 3>master of none, But I will say this much what's

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:11.719
<v Speaker 3>worked for me. I don't steal anybody's idea. I really

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:14.319
<v Speaker 3>ride my own wave. I made a studio not because

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:16.680
<v Speaker 3>there's other podcast studios, because there were no black owned

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:20.719
<v Speaker 3>ones that were gonna have podcasters run it. I'd never

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:23.360
<v Speaker 3>been to a podcast studio run by a podcaster. I

0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:26.600
<v Speaker 3>made horrible decisions because I really wanted to do a

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 3>fun sex show with someone that I knew was authentic,

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 3>and there were no black shows about sex that were

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.279
<v Speaker 3>hosted by normal girls. Yeah right, it was always like

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 3>porn stars or whatever. Everything that I've done so far

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:41.719
<v Speaker 3>hadn't seen before except for stock, I would say. But like,

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I've really rode my own wave, and that's why I

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:50.440
<v Speaker 3>think it's worked. So when you do too many different

0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 3>trades and you're taking an idea, like your concept is different.

0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:57.120
<v Speaker 3>We've all seen a cooking show, but your concept is different, right, Yeah. Yeah,

0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.919
<v Speaker 3>so it's like you have to have something different added

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:02.160
<v Speaker 3>to it, and I think that if you don't, you

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:04.120
<v Speaker 3>then become a master of none because you're just trying

0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 3>to do things that other people do.

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's tough.

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:11.799
<v Speaker 1>I have a fear of I don't even know where

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:13.640
<v Speaker 1>this fear came from, but when it comes to partnering

0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:17.359
<v Speaker 1>with other people, I feel like my greatest asset is

0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:20.360
<v Speaker 1>my relationships. And it's probably because I have so much integrity.

0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, dude, I won't hurt a full I really

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 1>won't even hurt a fly because I want to treat

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 1>people the way I would want to be treated.

0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:27.759
<v Speaker 2>So my loyalty is there.

0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:31.160
<v Speaker 1>But when I see like you and Mandy working together

0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and you and Alex working together. I'm like, either the

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:37.000
<v Speaker 1>integrity on you has got to be super lit or

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:40.560
<v Speaker 1>how are you managing that partnership? Because I always get nervous,

0:46:40.600 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 1>like what if the other partner doesn't hold up or

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:44.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a disagreement?

0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 2>So how do you? How do you navigate that?

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 3>My first partnership I've ever had was with Mandy, right,

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 3>and Mandy and I had stopped we're friends, stopp being friends,

0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:55.319
<v Speaker 3>became friends again during the show, fell out of friendship again.

0:46:55.360 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 3>But I think we are so hungry to make money

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 3>that we look past that and we're able to think

0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:05.799
<v Speaker 3>of the greater purpose. Like if I had a co

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:09.279
<v Speaker 3>host that wasn't about our fans, maybe I couldn't do

0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:11.400
<v Speaker 3>the job, you know what I'm saying. But Mandy's a

0:47:11.400 --> 0:47:12.560
<v Speaker 3>self starter like I am too.

0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's not tough.

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 3>Like Mandy and I were on tour putting together the

0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:21.200
<v Speaker 3>merch table or doing something with the merchan of the

0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:24.480
<v Speaker 3>VIP things. And you know, if I see her doing something,

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't want her to do it alone.

0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, because oh nice, okay.

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:29.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, And I think she feels the same for me,

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:32.000
<v Speaker 3>so we definitely try and trust me, I have a

0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:34.319
<v Speaker 3>time where I didn't even realize how much work she

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 3>was putting in with the finance stuff. She's making spreadsheets

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:39.000
<v Speaker 3>and shit back then and doing stuff I didn't even

0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.719
<v Speaker 3>understand that works. I would try to do it on

0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:47.800
<v Speaker 3>the creative side. But like I think, for me, with partnerships,

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.319
<v Speaker 3>there's a skill set that someone has that I don't.

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:53.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, wtf is so about the tech which is

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:56.759
<v Speaker 3>all Alex and not me. But I do have to

0:47:56.760 --> 0:48:00.399
<v Speaker 3>give myself credit on how we were able to get

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:02.040
<v Speaker 3>this shit going. I just don't know how much I

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.520
<v Speaker 3>rent is where the light deep come from. He don't

0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 3>know what the fuck going on, which is great, Yeah,

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:08.600
<v Speaker 3>figure out the other shit. Like I really learned how

0:48:08.600 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 3>to use our skills and work together in that way,

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 3>and it's definitely been touched. She's one of my tough

0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:14.439
<v Speaker 3>he's one of my best friends, and it's like damn,

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 3>now sometimes it's all work. So we really have to

0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:18.600
<v Speaker 3>feed that friendship. You know, we have to have a

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:20.120
<v Speaker 3>night where we get drunk together and have fun and

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:22.520
<v Speaker 3>not talk about work. We have to really do that

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.439
<v Speaker 3>to enjoy each other and separate it because it's tough.

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know with Dolly. Dolly and I came from

0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the nick Cannon area. A lot of people don't know this.

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 3>So my whole hookup with Black Effects, the president of

0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 3>Black Man, yeah.

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 2>My stuff was an accident. It was legit.

0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I was telling Dolly I was literally like flying weed

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:44.000
<v Speaker 1>money during the pandemic because I was I was hustling

0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 1>all different directions. But anyways, I was trying to build

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 1>this show and I was like, Dolly, I think you

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:52.160
<v Speaker 1>should be a part of it. But you know, she

0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 1>had this other job offer and she's like should I

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:56.960
<v Speaker 1>take him? Like, as long as they don't tell you

0:48:57.000 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to go to work, girl, I'm all about taking all checks.

0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was the President of the Black

0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Effect or whatever. They happened to need a cooking show

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and she pitched Eating while Broke and called me like,

0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:10.359
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna kill me? And I was like, why would

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:12.239
<v Speaker 1>I kill you? And we're actual friends, you know I

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.600
<v Speaker 1>told you. She's like, I told you know, iHeart and

0:49:16.080 --> 0:49:20.279
<v Speaker 1>ICM and Charlemagne about Eating while Broke and they loved it.

0:49:20.400 --> 0:49:23.759
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, so where do I kill you?

0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:27.080
<v Speaker 1>She's like, well, they you know, we run a podcast network,

0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and your show is you want to do a TV show.

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Dolly, the table was just built in my garage.

0:49:33.680 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 1>My neighbors are driving past it. I actually don't even

0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:39.839
<v Speaker 1>know where this table is gonna go, okay, And I

0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>think I had just found out I was pregnant or

0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like borderline in that conversation, and I was like, shit,

0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you know I was doing.

0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Illegal weed activity.

0:49:49.880 --> 0:49:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I was hustling in all these different plings, but I

0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:54.680
<v Speaker 1>had this idea that was literally sitting in my garage,

0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Like they just finished putting the forks on the table,

0:49:56.880 --> 0:49:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, Dolly, I'm about to go broke. And

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I done pitched all my celebrity friends. But I don't

0:50:01.280 --> 0:50:02.960
<v Speaker 1>even know if we're just taking this table to their

0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:05.560
<v Speaker 1>house or how we're even doing it. So why would

0:50:05.600 --> 0:50:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I kill you? Like?

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And she was like, yeah, well, they want.

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:10.000
<v Speaker 1>To send you an offer, like and I was like,

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:11.680
<v Speaker 1>She's like, can you send me all your decks and stuff?

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was like yeah, I had already had everything made.

0:50:14.239 --> 0:50:16.160
<v Speaker 1>But it was really no reason to kill her. But

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:19.400
<v Speaker 1>even to this day, like sometimes as friends, I'll have

0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to get on the phone with her and She'll be like,

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk business, or we could talk friends.

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's how we managed the friendship. It'd be like,

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Dolly ain't joining here nothing about work.

0:50:27.800 --> 0:50:30.120
<v Speaker 3>That's tough. When someone's like cutting that's tough.

0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah.

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I remember the first time I heard an attitude from

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Dolly when I was asking for more money.

0:50:34.760 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, oh yeah, Dolly will tell me

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:38.480
<v Speaker 1>no so fast.

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but you know, I separate.

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.960
<v Speaker 3>It is a safe place. It's a safer place than not,

0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:47.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, in my heart is times with Mandy, I

0:50:47.480 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 3>remember being so angry at her. We've definitely thought like

0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:53.919
<v Speaker 3>I can't do this anymore. Literally, I was like, why

0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I go, fuck it? Where am I going to go?

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Like all this goddamn money, where am I gonna Where?

0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Am I gonna go work for someone else? Fucking white dude?

0:51:01.440 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Like No, I'm gonna make this money with her and

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:06.400
<v Speaker 3>figure it the fuck out. Actually, it's interesting with our partnership.

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:08.719
<v Speaker 3>I recently was at dinner with someone who asked me

0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 3>about books and money spending and things like that, and

0:51:14.239 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, when you talked about integrity, I just

0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:20.040
<v Speaker 3>thought about it. Whether I'm angry with Mandy or not.

0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:22.239
<v Speaker 3>I've never thought she would like take money from the

0:51:22.280 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 3>company or something. Right with d Alex and I were bestie,

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 3>so we're not going to fuck each other over. And

0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:28.840
<v Speaker 3>they were telling me about how someone been sneaking money

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:33.279
<v Speaker 3>out of the their partnership. And I never thought of

0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:35.839
<v Speaker 3>the bad side of what could happen for partnerships, only

0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:36.160
<v Speaker 3>the good.

0:51:36.400 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Yea.

0:51:36.640 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 3>But it's really because I do find strength in numbers,

0:51:40.239 --> 0:51:42.720
<v Speaker 3>and I think partnership just builds and builds and builds

0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:46.400
<v Speaker 3>your portfolio. I mean, I would rather have half of

0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:49.560
<v Speaker 3>ten things, you know what I mean, especially knowing that,

0:51:50.200 --> 0:51:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Like there's so many times Alex has called me and

0:51:51.960 --> 0:51:54.759
<v Speaker 3>is like, yo, Neil Brennan is coming in and David

0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Lehiman coming in our studios us right, or maybe I'll

0:51:57.719 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 3>hit him up and I'll be like we're locked down

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 3>for a week. We got a deal from Amazon. Like

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.960
<v Speaker 3>it's always one or the other, and it really really helps,

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:06.560
<v Speaker 3>because when you're trying to get all that different money,

0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.759
<v Speaker 3>you can't do all things. I don't believe in people

0:52:09.800 --> 0:52:12.080
<v Speaker 3>that are trying to have too much control over everything,

0:52:12.400 --> 0:52:14.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, That's that's when it gets really tough. That's

0:52:14.320 --> 0:52:16.239
<v Speaker 3>when you get burnt out. You've got to be able

0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:18.800
<v Speaker 3>to alleviate some of that. I'm real cheap and I

0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 3>don't even be wanting to give money up to an assistant,

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:22.440
<v Speaker 3>but I realize it helps make your life easier.

0:52:22.480 --> 0:52:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Have you have you considered bringing one on yet I

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:27.080
<v Speaker 1>have one as it has been helpful.

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, our studio is so busy. She's now just the

0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:32.920
<v Speaker 3>studio manager of the two New York locations. But oh

0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:35.840
<v Speaker 3>she was amazing, Like she literally helped me with my

0:52:35.840 --> 0:52:39.800
<v Speaker 3>grandmother's funeral, you know, like when you've got a good one.

0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:42.400
<v Speaker 3>But my sisters like a real nigga, Like she's not

0:52:44.680 --> 0:52:47.319
<v Speaker 3>like she's not, Oh she's so great. She'll call me

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 3>like these mother, Like she helped me with the thing

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 3>for the wheelchair for my dad today. Right, she sent

0:52:51.080 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 3>me a screenshot of an email she was like these

0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:55.799
<v Speaker 3>motherfucker's trying to play me bruh, and like it's so

0:52:56.080 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 3>funny because like you kind of do have to work

0:52:58.080 --> 0:53:00.520
<v Speaker 3>with someone that makes you feel comfortable. You know, if

0:53:00.520 --> 0:53:02.040
<v Speaker 3>she was too tidied up, I don't think I can

0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:05.120
<v Speaker 3>do it. Yeah, But like I love partnering and working

0:53:05.120 --> 0:53:07.520
<v Speaker 3>with people that make me feel like I'm at home.

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, because when we.

0:53:08.760 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Face the world, there's a different person across that, you

0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:14.080
<v Speaker 3>know what I'm saying. So knowing that we hire black

0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.560
<v Speaker 3>and hire people that are a vibe like yeah, it's

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:18.240
<v Speaker 3>just it's so great, yeah.

0:53:18.120 --> 0:53:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, but also finding someone that really is invested

0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in your vision and your long term goals. I know

0:53:24.440 --> 0:53:27.960
<v Speaker 1>with my crew, I love them, like if I feel

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:32.280
<v Speaker 1>something's de routing, I'm like, dinner, lunch, we're getting together.

0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the table and find out what's going on.

0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:37.879
<v Speaker 1>But we I genuinely like love my crew, Like.

0:53:38.040 --> 0:53:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Everybody that works for me, I would want to have

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 3>a drink with them. Yeah. That to me, I don't

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:44.799
<v Speaker 3>want to hire anybody that makes me fe like getting

0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 3>my nerves and they're weird or like yeah, I want

0:53:46.640 --> 0:53:48.600
<v Speaker 3>to know they're cool, whether they be nerdy as fuck

0:53:48.600 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 3>and maybe we don't share those hobbies, like yeah, there

0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:53.200
<v Speaker 3>has to be some connection there or I won't maybe

0:53:53.200 --> 0:53:55.799
<v Speaker 3>care as much. And I think my thing to being

0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 3>a good boss is giving a fuck yeah, you know,

0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:00.680
<v Speaker 3>writing down everyone's birthdays, making sure I get them a gift,

0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:03.640
<v Speaker 3>sending them text, telling them I appreciate them. I also

0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:06.600
<v Speaker 3>don't say people work for me. Like, if I'm in

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:09.160
<v Speaker 3>front of someone, I feel like that's.

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you do you call them like your team? How

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:11.799
<v Speaker 2>do you reference them?

0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:13.879
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, I say we work together. If someone

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:16.319
<v Speaker 3>wants to know, oh, I like that. Even if they

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 3>walk in the studio and they know on the owner,

0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:19.440
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, this is Danny, he works with us,

0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:21.920
<v Speaker 3>or like that just makes me more comfortable.

0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:26.319
<v Speaker 3>I find a lot of condescendingness and when people kind

0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:27.520
<v Speaker 3>of just be like they work for me.

0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I was at an event the other day and someone said,

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, I'm her boss, and I was like, yeah,

0:54:34.680 --> 0:54:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you had to say that. I

0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:38.000
<v Speaker 1>don't even know the point of saying it. But I

0:54:38.040 --> 0:54:43.279
<v Speaker 1>think mainly in corporate and maybe not very small smaller.

0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't want to say an entrepreneurs. I don't know,

0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:45.600
<v Speaker 2>but I do see.

0:54:45.680 --> 0:54:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you're not at the higher level, you

0:54:48.480 --> 0:54:50.839
<v Speaker 1>see that more because I don't even think the executives

0:54:50.880 --> 0:54:51.800
<v Speaker 1>be like I'm the boss.

0:54:52.160 --> 0:54:54.959
<v Speaker 3>No, but like look at Connell from Our Heart, Yeah,

0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:58.160
<v Speaker 3>he was hugging everybody and chilling. I'm like, what, I

0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:00.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know that's the

0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:03.280
<v Speaker 3>thing too. I feel like there's this middle of success

0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:04.879
<v Speaker 3>when you try to prove yourself. I can only relate

0:55:05.000 --> 0:55:07.760
<v Speaker 3>to this. When I was kind of getting some decent money,

0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to wear leubatons. I wanted to wear my

0:55:10.000 --> 0:55:13.160
<v Speaker 3>fucking one Louis Biton bag everywhere. I needed to throw

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:13.840
<v Speaker 3>it in your face.

0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:16.359
<v Speaker 3>Now I'm kind of like, you know what I mean,

0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't know.

0:55:17.040 --> 0:55:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well that's how I feel about Montessori school right now.

0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Every time I see someone, I'm like, I pay.

0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Two thousand dollars a month for my one year old

0:55:23.400 --> 0:55:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to go to school. I should just have it as

0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:27.799
<v Speaker 2>a billboard at this point.

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh bro, I feel like I'm luxury and that's really

0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:32.640
<v Speaker 1>probably a regular person thing.

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:34.879
<v Speaker 2>But I'm like, now that's a lot.

0:55:36.400 --> 0:55:37.839
<v Speaker 3>That's better than they care, you.

0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Know, I literally, but I brag about it, like and

0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty I saw some comedian talk about like how

0:55:43.880 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 1>when black people brag when they're rich, Asian people brag

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.560
<v Speaker 1>when they're rich, and how white people brag when they're rich,

0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, yeah, I'm definitely the black person

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that was like, I pay two games.

0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:56.120
<v Speaker 3>I try to find ways in a point where I'm

0:55:56.160 --> 0:55:59.920
<v Speaker 3>feeling a little inferior. Yeah, sometimes people you never know

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 3>they making my like it's I can't explain it. But

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:04.319
<v Speaker 3>there's moments where people will make you feel like you

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:05.399
<v Speaker 3>don't belong in the room there.

0:56:05.480 --> 0:56:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:56:05.719 --> 0:56:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's when I might do a little bit of really.

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I'm trying to think. The last time I

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:14.799
<v Speaker 3>haven't I had this story. I told him horrible. It's

0:56:14.800 --> 0:56:18.000
<v Speaker 3>on our Patreon where I came back from Paris and

0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I was hanging in this Beyonce and jay Z party.

0:56:21.360 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 3>It was very small, like thirty people, and after that

0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 3>you couldn't tell me shit. It was me and alex

0:56:25.080 --> 0:56:27.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like fuck you bitch, and Mionce with like,

0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:31.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, in the air together. So I just kept

0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:33.480
<v Speaker 3>finding ways to bring it up. So we went to

0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:35.960
<v Speaker 3>like Spotify dinner that week and everybody's just like, oh,

0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:39.120
<v Speaker 3>horrible decisions. Never heard of it. Yes, actually I've been

0:56:39.120 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 3>to France, not that you asked, was there whatever, but

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:46.040
<v Speaker 3>like i'd be trying to figure out a way, but

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, And I think that's kind of when

0:56:47.680 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 3>you do have and I know that I came from something,

0:56:51.560 --> 0:56:53.040
<v Speaker 3>so I just can't say it came from nothing, but

0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:54.640
<v Speaker 3>like when you had that struggle, you want to know,

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:56.719
<v Speaker 3>you want people to know I belong here too, Yeah,

0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:59.320
<v Speaker 3>because I have a lot of hell of privileged people

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:01.040
<v Speaker 3>that I know don't really.

0:57:00.800 --> 0:57:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Have that that driver or the that that they're the backstory,

0:57:06.840 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't need to.

0:57:09.160 --> 0:57:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Like I hang with this really rich girl sometimes when

0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:15.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm in LA, like grew up rich. I think our

0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:20.080
<v Speaker 3>family's got a fucking castle somewhere. And I never really

0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:23.200
<v Speaker 3>see her tell you anything about her life because she

0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.800
<v Speaker 3>realizes it's so it's not part of her story. Yeah,

0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 3>like everything she's experienced isn't exciting. Like when I told

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:32.680
<v Speaker 3>her about the Beyonce and jay Z thing, She's like,

0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah. I'm like, well you met them before. She's like, yeah,

0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 3>well I used to hang with the Rnall's when I

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:38.840
<v Speaker 3>was a kid who own LVMA.

0:57:39.160 --> 0:57:43.720
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious And I'm like, okay.

0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 3>It's to note the bitch, But like you know, so,

0:57:46.600 --> 0:57:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, I wonder if it kind of shows

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:50.920
<v Speaker 3>that you don't really have much. But what I appreciate

0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:52.840
<v Speaker 3>is like people that can enjoy with you. Like the

0:57:52.840 --> 0:57:55.080
<v Speaker 3>first person I called after that Beyonce and jay z

0:57:55.200 --> 0:57:57.600
<v Speaker 3>night was charlottmgne cover bed with his wife who was

0:57:57.640 --> 0:57:59.560
<v Speaker 3>eleven thirty at night. Me and Alex are drunk in

0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:02.680
<v Speaker 3>the street or something like, oh, I tell somebody And

0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:04.880
<v Speaker 3>he was so excited and laughing and he's like, y'all

0:58:04.920 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 3>in now, I'm like, brouh. The next time I see

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:10.000
<v Speaker 3>them one name, but they put it home the Bitch

0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:13.200
<v Speaker 3>for Paris, and it's just this cool, exciting milestone. But

0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:14.959
<v Speaker 3>maybe I will get to the place where it doesn't

0:58:14.960 --> 0:58:15.560
<v Speaker 3>matter anymore.

0:58:15.560 --> 0:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, hope not, no, no, no no. So

0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:24.760
<v Speaker 1>now that you've traveled the world, you owned companies, you're

0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:29.600
<v Speaker 1>flying your family out, what advice would you give to someone.

0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:34.000
<v Speaker 2>That would even just in my shoes? You know?

0:58:34.040 --> 0:58:37.120
<v Speaker 1>What advice would you give to someone that's playing hasn't

0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:40.000
<v Speaker 1>fully taken off the ground yet and they've been hovering

0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:41.000
<v Speaker 1>for a long time.

0:58:41.200 --> 0:58:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I would say, thinking bigger than the biggest thing you're

0:58:44.520 --> 0:58:49.200
<v Speaker 3>thinking of. I think that we sell ourselves short a lot.

0:58:49.480 --> 0:58:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Whether it be I don't know. This is just made

0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:56.000
<v Speaker 3>me thinking right. Eating while Broke is currently a podcast.

0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:58.160
<v Speaker 3>It seems like next up is TV show that seems

0:58:58.160 --> 0:58:59.000
<v Speaker 3>like what that is? Right?

0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:02.439
<v Speaker 1>But I also want to do touring, which eighty five

0:59:02.560 --> 0:59:05.040
<v Speaker 1>South has been like just do it, but Dolly's like

0:59:05.120 --> 0:59:08.320
<v Speaker 1>hell no, and eighty five for South is like do

0:59:08.520 --> 0:59:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that shit?

0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Why does Dolly say now.

0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:14.400
<v Speaker 1>She thinks I need to spend more time growing my

0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:19.040
<v Speaker 1>audience like baby steps and then but I low key

0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:21.600
<v Speaker 1>secretly want to do ice cube in LA.

0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I would tell you for this piece of advice, then

0:59:25.240 --> 0:59:26.800
<v Speaker 3>I would say, you do it in the middle. You

0:59:26.840 --> 0:59:30.400
<v Speaker 3>do one show. You do one show in your hometown

0:59:30.480 --> 0:59:32.600
<v Speaker 3>or where your largest base of audience is, and that's LA, right,

0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:35.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming yeah. So it's like you do your LA show,

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:37.720
<v Speaker 3>you don't tour, you do your LA show. You practice,

0:59:37.920 --> 0:59:39.680
<v Speaker 3>you get your biggest fan based there, you already have

0:59:39.720 --> 0:59:41.640
<v Speaker 3>all your friends come. It's probably where all the talent

0:59:41.720 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>you know is. So you do it right there in LA.

0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:47.440
<v Speaker 3>After you do that, then you kind of get your

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:52.440
<v Speaker 3>feet wet or this space is semi big. Make a

0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Patreon or invite your top fans, mit fifteen fans really

0:59:57.640 --> 1:00:01.959
<v Speaker 3>and write fifteen fans, have them sitting wide laugh with you. Uh,

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:04.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe put the ingredients out there and be like this

1:00:04.680 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 3>is what I got, y'all gonna help me make this meal?

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they just shout at you and they share stories

1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:09.120
<v Speaker 3>with you.

1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>When you, guys did your Patreon, what were you what

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>was your first Like, did you even think you would

1:00:15.120 --> 1:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>make money when you first did the Patreon?

1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:20.080
<v Speaker 3>No, we make way too much on Patreon now. I

1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 3>mean I'm sure like there you know, there's patreons bigger

1:00:23.840 --> 1:00:25.280
<v Speaker 3>than me. But like we did it before. I think

1:00:25.280 --> 1:00:27.320
<v Speaker 3>we were one of the first black popular podcasts that

1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:29.760
<v Speaker 3>we know on there. Like we had our first year

1:00:29.800 --> 1:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>of year seven, I mean the first year of your seven,

1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:35.040
<v Speaker 3>and we only did it to make more money for

1:00:35.080 --> 1:00:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the studio. Mandy and I were like, this shit costing

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:39.560
<v Speaker 3>too much. We ain't making no money. Friend of mine

1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:41.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, have you heard of l Chrapo trap House

1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:43.760
<v Speaker 3>something like that? It's like a white podcast. I was

1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:45.760
<v Speaker 3>like no, and he's like, they make like ninety round Patreon.

1:00:46.520 --> 1:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>You should do You guys were like, dude, du what's

1:00:48.720 --> 1:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that right?

1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, shit, we don't make ninety, but we do

1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:52.120
<v Speaker 3>make twenty.

1:00:52.360 --> 1:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Get the hang out on Patreon mm hm, get the.

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:58.920
<v Speaker 3>But to be honest, though, our Patreon, like we started

1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>a high very early of people that really resonated with

1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Mandy and I because we were corporate girls talking about sex,

1:01:04.920 --> 1:01:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and it was kind of the life that if you

1:01:06.600 --> 1:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>didn't live it, you'd want to live it, or you

1:01:08.240 --> 1:01:10.960
<v Speaker 3>could see yourself living it like host stories while like

1:01:11.320 --> 1:01:13.960
<v Speaker 3>being overdraft and are you know, being at your desk whatever.

1:01:14.480 --> 1:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>So we made Patreon. It was to get extra money

1:01:16.480 --> 1:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>for filming. I remember a thousand dollars a month feeling perfect.

1:01:20.000 --> 1:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Hell, yeah that's not I know that sounds small.

1:01:23.680 --> 1:01:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So when it got higher, Mandy and I just

1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:31.800
<v Speaker 3>started spelling more of our personal lives on Patreon, and

1:01:31.840 --> 1:01:34.240
<v Speaker 3>it became like we were just talking to fans instead

1:01:34.240 --> 1:01:37.240
<v Speaker 3>of like doing a show. You know, like we have

1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:40.160
<v Speaker 3>so so many guests now that people that really fucked

1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:44.000
<v Speaker 3>with Mandy and Wheezy they want Patreon. Like a lot

1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 3>of people enjoy those episodes more. I love like a

1:01:47.400 --> 1:01:49.960
<v Speaker 3>better looking set, but I get it, Mandy and I'd

1:01:50.000 --> 1:01:52.040
<v Speaker 3>be on zoom. I'd be hungover shit. I think I

1:01:52.040 --> 1:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>was still mollied out on one episode. I was like,

1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:57.960
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, you guys didn't sleave anyway, Like people

1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:00.360
<v Speaker 3>like that shit when you're very raw, and so we

1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>offer that so it's something different. But yeah, I wouldn't

1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>write your closest fans if it's not Patreon right now,

1:02:06.720 --> 1:02:08.600
<v Speaker 3>figure out where you talk to them the most, have

1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>them come and watch. Well.

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think this season is the most I've seen fans

1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>reach out, which, by the way, I'm absolutely shocked. I'll

1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>get a DM like please don't stop, please don't quit.

1:02:18.960 --> 1:02:22.120

1:02:22.120 --> 1:02:23.680

1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:28.880

1:02:28.920 --> 1:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>really want to jump off a bridge. But that message

<v Speaker 1>thank you for saving my life.

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Fans too, like we look at other people's numbers and

1:02:51.200 --> 1:02:52.640
<v Speaker 3>comparison is a thief and joy.

1:02:53.000 --> 1:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I definitely do.

1:02:53.800 --> 1:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, look at them, but you know now,

1:02:56.840 --> 1:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I look at y'all and I'll be like, take notes.

1:03:00.560 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Change when we're in line to them, right, Like I

1:03:05.600 --> 1:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>remember when call her Daddy made the sixty thousand dollars

1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:12.960
<v Speaker 3>sixty million right, and I was like, oh my god.

1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll never get me. I was saying ship like that.

1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't have that. I'm like this podcast makes how much?

1:03:18.600 --> 1:03:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Like why am I talking like this?

1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:20.600
<v Speaker 2>You know?

1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:23.760
<v Speaker 3>And we really have to pour into ourselves better because

1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>we always are looking at something else. I do it

1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:30.360
<v Speaker 3>with my body doing my hair. Shit, I was almost like,

1:03:30.400 --> 1:03:31.880
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, my hair is not brain different. The

1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:34.560
<v Speaker 3>got my hair like thinking about all this little ship

1:03:34.640 --> 1:03:37.600
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't fucking matter. And it's like we need to

1:03:37.680 --> 1:03:40.680
<v Speaker 3>really learn how to be happy with ourselves because like,

1:03:41.040 --> 1:03:56.760
<v Speaker 3>I think social media has bucked me up. I'm getting

1:03:56.760 --> 1:04:02.400
<v Speaker 3>way better at it, but like body, hair, clothes and success,

1:04:02.720 --> 1:04:04.720
<v Speaker 3>they're all the things I see on Instagram and think

1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not doing well enough with h and this is

1:04:08.000 --> 1:04:10.320
<v Speaker 3>fucked up. But it did happen to me. I went

1:04:10.360 --> 1:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>to solid Core, which is this like plate's ish cool

1:04:14.000 --> 1:04:17.480
<v Speaker 3>thing to do. It's in La Chicago, New York, Big Cities, Atlanta,

1:04:18.400 --> 1:04:20.240
<v Speaker 3>and there's a girl on Instagram I follow that. I

1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 3>always thought she was like so fucking insanely hot. When

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:25.160
<v Speaker 3>I was in the workout, she was right next to

1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:28.320
<v Speaker 3>me and I recognized her halfway through. She was really struggling.

1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:30.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's not like it's something to make fun of.

1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:32.480
<v Speaker 3>You're already working out. But I got in the car

1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.200
<v Speaker 3>and I thought, oh my god, I have I'm stronger

1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:37.200
<v Speaker 3>than I thought. I was right. I'm looking at this

1:04:37.240 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 3>girl all the time on my timeline, thinking she's the

1:04:39.360 --> 1:04:41.560
<v Speaker 3>baddest bitch in the world. And I had something like

1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>she even said to me. I was like, damn bitch,

1:04:43.120 --> 1:04:45.280
<v Speaker 3>she was getting it right. We don't know each other,

1:04:45.360 --> 1:04:47.360
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, wow, there's something we all have

1:04:47.480 --> 1:04:50.200
<v Speaker 3>that someone else doesn't. So when you're looking and you're

1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:55.920
<v Speaker 3>thinking that, it's not shit me. I want kids so bad. Really, yes,

1:04:56.040 --> 1:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I would love to have kids, like I would love

1:04:58.000 --> 1:04:58.280
<v Speaker 3>to have.

1:04:58.920 --> 1:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Over to you for a weekend.

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh my mom would love to watch over. My mom

1:05:02.120 --> 1:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>love taking somebody's baby.

1:05:03.280 --> 1:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, Oh she's in LA.

1:05:04.840 --> 1:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>That's perfect because I ain't got no family in I

1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>pay every minute a well.

1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, my mom will act like it's an inconvenience, but

1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>she can't wait to do it. Let me watch your baby,

1:05:13.200 --> 1:05:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Colleen called me, and now I've got to watch this

1:05:14.640 --> 1:05:16.400
<v Speaker 3>damn baby. Now'll get in the house, baby proud anyway,

1:05:16.440 --> 1:05:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll talk to you later. Like she loves taking somebody's

1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:23.360
<v Speaker 3>problems on her kids or anything, and like, yeah, but

1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I think about that. I think.

1:05:24.440 --> 1:05:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I was at a friend's kids graduation, her daughter graduately

1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:31.760
<v Speaker 3>needs her, and I was like, like three people had

1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:33.600
<v Speaker 3>asked me for a picture when I was in the auditorium,

1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:37.200
<v Speaker 3>and I remember thinking, like, I wonder if they think

1:05:37.240 --> 1:05:39.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm like living this cool ass like but somebody was like, damn,

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:41.760
<v Speaker 3>you came from LA to be here. Someone said that

1:05:41.800 --> 1:05:43.720
<v Speaker 3>to me, and I was like, when I could like

1:05:44.040 --> 1:05:45.640
<v Speaker 3>die to be one of the parents in the front.

1:05:45.920 --> 1:05:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, But you never know, right, Like there's always

1:05:49.040 --> 1:05:51.520
<v Speaker 3>something we all want. I think we all need that

1:05:51.560 --> 1:05:53.480
<v Speaker 3>little drama in our lives to keep going.

1:05:53.720 --> 1:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>You think so oh, like the when you say drama,

1:05:56.120 --> 1:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like the need to want something more?

1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how are we going to be autopilot if we

1:06:00.880 --> 1:06:02.280
<v Speaker 3>have all we want? Like what do you want?

1:06:02.840 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

1:06:03.080 --> 1:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I want this guy's limit.

1:06:04.200 --> 1:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>It's funny though, because I used to always want like

1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the marriage and the baby, because I always felt like

1:06:08.040 --> 1:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I was good at business and then I just sucked

1:06:10.600 --> 1:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>at personal. But now that I experienced marriage and the baby,

1:06:13.920 --> 1:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I think I'm gonna stay in my business

1:06:16.800 --> 1:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>life because I suck at it. It's just like yo,

1:06:18.920 --> 1:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what I have to chop it up to Like,

1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just not my forte. I don't know why I

1:06:23.400 --> 1:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>can't master my personal but I could.

1:06:25.680 --> 1:06:28.280
<v Speaker 3>It's tough. We all can't because it's not something you

1:06:28.320 --> 1:06:29.040
<v Speaker 3>can control.

1:06:29.360 --> 1:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it because I feel like in business,

1:06:32.480 --> 1:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>like I will pivot the fuck if it's not working,

1:06:34.680 --> 1:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>pivot again, pivot again. But then in my personal I'd

1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, you went left. I don't even know

1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>what to say.

1:06:42.440 --> 1:06:45.479
<v Speaker 3>Is tough. Yeah, money we can control, Like I feel

1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:47.080
<v Speaker 3>like I can make a million dollars easier than I

1:06:47.080 --> 1:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>can find a good person to date. I mean, it's

1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:51.880
<v Speaker 3>fucked up to say that, but I really do believe that.

1:06:51.920 --> 1:06:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like when it's things you can control, like

1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:57.840
<v Speaker 3>you can't control money. Let's say, like right, like there's

1:06:57.840 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 3>people out there that are working hard as fucking or

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:02.800
<v Speaker 3>not getting there, but like you could possibly take up

1:07:02.800 --> 1:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>another hustle to find some more money.

1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:07:04.920 --> 1:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>But I was taking pictures out of Oo pizzeria on

1:07:07.640 --> 1:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>the side because they would give me one hundred dollars

1:07:09.800 --> 1:07:12.240
<v Speaker 3>a night, okay for five hours, and I would just

1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:14.840
<v Speaker 3>take pictures, pictures and I would flip them a little bit.

1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:16.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. The pictures of fifteen, but

1:07:16.560 --> 1:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>i'd tell people with twenty Yeah, yeah, that's like finding

1:07:20.640 --> 1:07:22.760
<v Speaker 3>that hustle. I was on Craigslist looking for gig jobs.

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:26.080
<v Speaker 3>That was a caddy girl one day, Like I told

1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:26.640
<v Speaker 3>you that.

1:07:26.920 --> 1:07:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But that's what I'm saying. Like, do you think now

1:07:29.080 --> 1:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>do you think entrepreneurs are like born out the womb

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>or do you think they could go to college and

1:07:33.960 --> 1:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>then become an entrepreneur.

1:07:35.880 --> 1:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't think entrepreneurs are for everyone. Yeah, because I

1:07:39.680 --> 1:07:45.720
<v Speaker 3>think it's too exhausting. Yeah, Like I think working a

1:07:45.840 --> 1:07:47.880
<v Speaker 3>nine to five, I think the goal for me, before

1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>realizing I wanted to be an entrepreneur, I wanted to

1:07:51.000 --> 1:07:53.200
<v Speaker 3>make two fifty at a.

1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Corporate I'm still praying to hit that too fuch at

1:07:55.200 --> 1:07:55.919
<v Speaker 2>a corporate job.

1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, at a corporate That to me would have made

1:07:58.120 --> 1:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>me not do anything else. Okay, because the one seventy

1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>five was great. I was living a great apartment and traveling,

1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:05.920
<v Speaker 3>but my parents needed help and I was like, oh,

1:08:05.920 --> 1:08:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I need more money for my parents. If I had

1:08:08.000 --> 1:08:10.160
<v Speaker 3>two fifty, that's money I could have to help them.

1:08:10.200 --> 1:08:11.440
<v Speaker 3>And if I want to have a kid, I can

1:08:11.560 --> 1:08:14.439
<v Speaker 3>live in this money, but mind you in New York.

1:08:14.680 --> 1:08:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, like two fifty in another city might be

1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>a million dollars. Yeah, my rent even then was twenty five.

1:08:20.560 --> 1:08:23.479
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy, bro Yeah. But I say all that to

1:08:23.520 --> 1:08:26.720
<v Speaker 3>say nine to fivers are making a lot more money

1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:29.080
<v Speaker 3>than entrepreneurs. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Entrepreneurs are

1:08:29.080 --> 1:08:31.599
<v Speaker 3>out here really struggling. It's tough. But I think it's

1:08:31.600 --> 1:08:33.639
<v Speaker 3>because some people are chasing a dream that they think

1:08:33.680 --> 1:08:35.240
<v Speaker 3>they should do when really that's not it.

1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:39.599
<v Speaker 1>How would they identify the dream that is it though?

1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>And from the dream that isn't.

1:08:41.760 --> 1:08:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I think one if it feels like a passion, are

1:08:44.960 --> 1:08:45.680
<v Speaker 3>you happy doing it?

1:08:46.600 --> 1:08:46.720
<v Speaker 5>Like?

1:08:47.360 --> 1:08:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you doing it because you actually love this? Like

1:08:49.840 --> 1:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>why do you love making? Eating while broke?

1:08:52.160 --> 1:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I just love great rags to riches stories, Like I

1:08:56.080 --> 1:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>have some rich friends and they always tell me they

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>were like in jail somewhere or they were so on

1:09:00.240 --> 1:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the ask somewhere, and I'm like, wait, you and you

1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:06.439
<v Speaker 1>live in the seven thousand square Foo mansion in La Oh,

1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>tell me more. And I just love it. Like I

1:09:08.560 --> 1:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>would hang out and I just love the stories. I'd

1:09:12.240 --> 1:09:13.519
<v Speaker 1>be like, Okay, but you know.

1:09:13.760 --> 1:09:17.160
<v Speaker 3>And I would say then with your audience and feeling inspired.

1:09:17.280 --> 1:09:17.760
<v Speaker 2>But I was.

1:09:17.680 --> 1:09:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Definitely lucky because I felt like the friends that I have,

1:09:20.920 --> 1:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>like if I'm like, Damn, this bill was high, I'd

1:09:23.400 --> 1:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>be like, you wouldn't understand it, be like try me.

1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like a thousand bucks to be like, no,

1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>that bill's.

1:09:27.240 --> 1:09:31.160
<v Speaker 2>High, you know. I'd really and they'd be like, no,

1:09:31.439 --> 1:09:32.320
<v Speaker 2>it's high, you know.

1:09:32.520 --> 1:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And so luckily I was fortunate to be with some

1:09:35.120 --> 1:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>friends that really like that. I felt like, damn, you're

1:09:38.360 --> 1:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with me, Like if you and I hung out,

1:09:40.400 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I would be lowkey geeked just because you have a

1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>great personality, but I would also be lowkey geeked because

1:09:45.439 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm like I look up to you, like I definitely

1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:48.439
<v Speaker 1>admire you, you know.

1:09:48.439 --> 1:09:50.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that with people sometimes where I'm like,

1:09:51.840 --> 1:09:55.880
<v Speaker 3>are we like we're peers? Right? No matter if maybe

1:09:55.920 --> 1:09:58.040
<v Speaker 3>like maybe my podcast has been going on longer than yours,

1:09:58.080 --> 1:09:59.760
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh, that's what I'm gonna get, Like it's

1:09:59.800 --> 1:10:01.080
<v Speaker 3>still appears.

1:10:00.760 --> 1:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're more than just a pot.

1:10:02.520 --> 1:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Like in my eyes, well you and Mandy accomplished was great,

1:10:06.439 --> 1:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>But you gotta think you're a beautiful attractive woman in

1:10:09.320 --> 1:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the entertainment industry. I have sidebar conversations all the time.

1:10:12.360 --> 1:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave a meeting, I'll be like, this person wants

1:10:14.000 --> 1:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to fuck, and my friends will be like, how do

1:10:15.640 --> 1:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and be like, Bro, I've been in this

1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>game way too long. I can tell by the questions

1:10:19.840 --> 1:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that the hints they want to fuck, and then I

1:10:22.320 --> 1:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>gotta navigate that. So to be attractive woman, Okay, then

1:10:25.520 --> 1:10:28.599
<v Speaker 1>you're an entertainment. Then you're an entrepreneurs, then you're handling

1:10:28.640 --> 1:10:30.880
<v Speaker 1>all this business. Then you're sale. When I hear sales,

1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>nothing excites me, you know how you get when I

1:10:33.080 --> 1:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>hear a girl could sell, I'll be like, oh, this

1:10:34.960 --> 1:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>is a it says, this is a real, real time,

1:10:37.800 --> 1:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>you know. But so I look at someone like you

1:10:41.640 --> 1:10:43.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, yeah, I would definitely be in awe

1:10:43.880 --> 1:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like you know geeks, and same with

1:10:47.320 --> 1:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>my friends. Like I have my homie day Storm, I'll

1:10:49.560 --> 1:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>hang out in his house or whatever. He literally will

1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:53.719
<v Speaker 1>only hang out when we work out, which sucks because

1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>his workouts are absolutely terrifyingly terriblely hard workouts.

1:10:59.800 --> 1:11:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Like if I want to have a talk a day Storm, I'm.

1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Like, I'll be at your house at four to work out,

1:11:03.720 --> 1:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and it'll be the worst workout of the century, you know,

1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>But I still look up to him, and I'll still

1:11:09.920 --> 1:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>be like geeked, Like yo, I could walk into your

1:11:12.280 --> 1:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>house or borrow your house for the weekend. And but I,

1:11:15.479 --> 1:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>even though we're friends, I still look up to you,

1:11:17.280 --> 1:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and you're vulnerable. But they're the real inspiration behind my show.

1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>They're realize stories and realize advice.

1:11:23.840 --> 1:11:26.640
<v Speaker 3>And honestly sharing that to the world and then you

1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:30.280
<v Speaker 3>receiving that fan feedback and things like that, like having

1:11:30.320 --> 1:11:32.600
<v Speaker 3>the passion that making you feel good learning in the

1:11:32.640 --> 1:11:35.759
<v Speaker 3>middle of your job. That's how you know you keep going,

1:11:36.280 --> 1:11:38.800
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm saying. But also I think the

1:11:38.920 --> 1:11:42.759
<v Speaker 3>largest mistake entrepreneurs make is if they have a regular

1:11:42.800 --> 1:11:44.920
<v Speaker 3>job or a steady gig, they leave it for the

1:11:44.960 --> 1:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>passion before the passion flourishes. Yeah, and I didn't do that,

1:11:49.040 --> 1:11:51.719
<v Speaker 3>Like I was working eighty hours a week doing horrible

1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:54.719
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, you know, literally coming in with my suitcase

1:11:54.760 --> 1:11:56.040
<v Speaker 3>to the office, like, oh, I went to go see

1:11:56.040 --> 1:11:58.439
<v Speaker 3>my parents, but really I had a fucking four hundred

1:11:58.439 --> 1:12:00.799
<v Speaker 3>seat show that we fill down and like that. Today

1:12:00.840 --> 1:12:03.519
<v Speaker 3>is different now it's double right and it feels great,

1:12:03.640 --> 1:12:06.759
<v Speaker 3>but like, nah, I had to do both. I think

1:12:07.200 --> 1:12:12.439
<v Speaker 3>living in the entertainment industry today is interesting because it

1:12:12.479 --> 1:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>could be anybody, right, Like, influencers have really ruined fame?

1:12:17.720 --> 1:12:18.240
<v Speaker 2>You think so?

1:12:18.600 --> 1:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I guess I could see that. It's weird because

1:12:21.680 --> 1:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I see, like I feel like they're self made and

1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>they work very hard, like when you look at the

1:12:25.680 --> 1:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, they work hard.

1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>But I definitely will say I don't know. I would

1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:31.519
<v Speaker 2>like to hear your perspective on it.

1:12:31.800 --> 1:12:39.560
<v Speaker 3>I think influencers ruined fame because not saying that they're talentless,

1:12:40.720 --> 1:12:43.880
<v Speaker 3>the content creation as a form of a talent. Like

1:12:44.479 --> 1:12:47.639
<v Speaker 3>if the Internet is gone, then where do you take

1:12:47.680 --> 1:12:49.680
<v Speaker 3>it and what do you do with it? You know,

1:12:49.720 --> 1:12:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I have a big influencer that reached out to me.

1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>They're not going broke or anything like they're making like

1:12:54.439 --> 1:12:58.040
<v Speaker 3>maybe thirty fortieth posts, but they reached out to me

1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:00.439
<v Speaker 3>and we're like, I need you to have dinner with

1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:01.880
<v Speaker 3>me or some shit and influences me to do some

1:13:02.000 --> 1:13:05.000
<v Speaker 3>other shit. Because I realized this is like just what

1:13:05.040 --> 1:13:06.840
<v Speaker 3>if Instagram doesn't want me to do ads anymore? What

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:10.320
<v Speaker 3>if Instagram stops advertisments for influencers, what if the hashtag

1:13:10.360 --> 1:13:12.639
<v Speaker 3>goes away? Like she was terrified, and it was when

1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:15.040
<v Speaker 3>TikTok was about to get banned or something, and I

1:13:15.160 --> 1:13:17.640
<v Speaker 3>was like, damn. I'm like, I don't know half of

1:13:17.680 --> 1:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>my nas year off of heigi ads. But she was right,

1:13:20.880 --> 1:13:23.559
<v Speaker 3>like I didn't do anything else. I've just been learning

1:13:23.560 --> 1:13:26.200
<v Speaker 3>this one skill and that shit is tough because like,

1:13:26.640 --> 1:13:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I wouldn't want my kids to be

1:13:28.280 --> 1:13:31.720
<v Speaker 3>an influencer. I think it also inflates when I say

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:35.200
<v Speaker 3>it ruined fame, like you have movie stars, actors, actresses,

1:13:35.200 --> 1:13:38.200
<v Speaker 3>and even podcasters make fame to me, like it's not real.

1:13:38.760 --> 1:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've seen people too that will get like ten

1:13:41.479 --> 1:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers and they all already switch up. I'm like, yo,

1:13:44.200 --> 1:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>if your bank account still read zero, who gives a

1:13:47.080 --> 1:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>fuck about some likes?

1:13:48.240 --> 1:13:51.080
<v Speaker 3>But the same shit is weird because the likes and

1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.080
<v Speaker 3>all this stuff makes you think you're better than you

1:13:53.120 --> 1:13:56.920
<v Speaker 3>are when there's so many more of you, so you

1:13:56.960 --> 1:13:58.919
<v Speaker 3>really have to find a thing that makes you different.

1:13:59.080 --> 1:14:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Like honest, I follow so many girls that are just

1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:04.200
<v Speaker 3>hot and kind of look the same because of their

1:14:04.200 --> 1:14:06.320
<v Speaker 3>clothes or their workouts. Or whatever. I don't think I

1:14:06.360 --> 1:14:07.040
<v Speaker 3>know their names.

1:14:07.920 --> 1:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Really no.

1:14:09.000 --> 1:14:11.759
<v Speaker 3>I remember sitting at Lucy and it's my favorite restaurant

1:14:11.760 --> 1:14:13.400
<v Speaker 3>New York. I always go there in the East Village

1:14:13.920 --> 1:14:16.439
<v Speaker 3>and I was looking at this girl and I tapped

1:14:16.479 --> 1:14:18.240
<v Speaker 3>her and I was like, do I know you? Do

1:14:18.320 --> 1:14:20.759
<v Speaker 3>we have a school together? Genuinely didn't know. I feel

1:14:20.760 --> 1:14:23.000
<v Speaker 3>like I know you, And she was like, oh, I'm

1:14:23.000 --> 1:14:26.840
<v Speaker 3>an influencer. I was like, maybe I follow you. What's

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:29.600
<v Speaker 3>your name? Didn't ring a bell? Looked at it and

1:14:29.600 --> 1:14:31.479
<v Speaker 3>I was like, damn, I've been following this bitter a minute.

1:14:31.600 --> 1:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>But that's it.

1:14:32.080 --> 1:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>You're not even connecting to the content. Yeah, because it's

1:14:34.760 --> 1:14:37.759
<v Speaker 3>just grid post after grid post up or something something.

1:14:37.960 --> 1:14:42.000
<v Speaker 3>That's why people like just hilarious Drew Ski a Pretty V.

1:14:42.520 --> 1:14:45.519
<v Speaker 3>They fucking stick out because we know what they're doing.

1:14:46.000 --> 1:14:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and they yeah, but those are also like I know. Well,

1:14:49.760 --> 1:14:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll say for Pretty V because we had her aunt,

1:14:51.840 --> 1:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>she's she's also hard.

1:14:53.479 --> 1:14:54.639
<v Speaker 2>She's like a hustler too.

1:14:56.240 --> 1:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I would say she's she's more of an entrepreneur than

1:14:58.640 --> 1:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>an influencer. Know she started that way, you know you could.

1:15:02.400 --> 1:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel the same with like b Simone, but something that.

1:15:04.960 --> 1:15:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I have something that they do.

1:15:06.479 --> 1:15:09.519
<v Speaker 1>But I will say I honestly say like and it

1:15:09.560 --> 1:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>could be just me vibed, but I would say almost

1:15:12.520 --> 1:15:17.280
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent of my guests have true integrity. There's somewhere

1:15:17.280 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like after interview reps, I'll be like, Wow,

1:15:20.000 --> 1:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I called bullshit, and I won't say who, but there

1:15:24.040 --> 1:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of episodes where my team I'll be like, damn,

1:15:26.280 --> 1:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that was a bullshit, meaning like they looked bigger than

1:15:29.160 --> 1:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>what they were. And then when I got in, I

1:15:31.120 --> 1:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, you don't know your shit, You're a fake.

1:15:33.479 --> 1:15:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Maybe some people just get lucky.

1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>They got lucky, or they didn't name drop like hey,

1:15:38.040 --> 1:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>your baby mama helped you, or your mom helped you.

1:15:40.360 --> 1:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't you give them the credit that they deserved.

1:15:43.040 --> 1:15:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Strange when people don't credit those that helped along the way.

1:15:46.040 --> 1:15:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I think it's completely strange.

1:15:47.720 --> 1:15:48.479
<v Speaker 3>Do you know one of them?

1:15:48.880 --> 1:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, if you're on my show and I

1:15:50.800 --> 1:15:53.439
<v Speaker 1>catch it, I won't say it in front of the guests,

1:15:53.439 --> 1:15:55.479
<v Speaker 1>but I will go me even the show raps, I'll

1:15:55.479 --> 1:15:58.639
<v Speaker 1>be like, I called bullshit. They left out somebody because

1:15:58.680 --> 1:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>their story isn't adding up, And I will literally you

1:16:01.600 --> 1:16:02.439
<v Speaker 1>could ask my crew.

1:16:03.040 --> 1:16:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I will be wait, it was.

1:16:04.040 --> 1:16:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Mine, the sugar Daddy.

1:16:07.040 --> 1:16:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Your story was as real as they get.

1:16:09.520 --> 1:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you know you could tell because they'll

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>be a missing gap. You know, they'll be like some

1:16:14.439 --> 1:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>part of the story where you'd be like that that

1:16:16.320 --> 1:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't line up. There's something missing there. I can always

1:16:19.160 --> 1:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>tell because I like, well, you.

1:16:21.200 --> 1:16:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Know, sometimes the struggle isn't what people like to show,

1:16:23.840 --> 1:16:26.000
<v Speaker 3>right the highlight reels that they need to show.

1:16:25.800 --> 1:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>The struggle on this show.

1:16:27.160 --> 1:16:31.519
<v Speaker 1>On this show, you gotta tell me to credit your wife.

1:16:31.800 --> 1:16:33.639
<v Speaker 3>If you're not giving other people their flower, it never

1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:37.240
<v Speaker 3>takes from you. I was gonna say to you, Charlottagne

1:16:37.280 --> 1:16:39.160
<v Speaker 3>makes me do that more than anyone like. It makes

1:16:39.200 --> 1:16:41.960
<v Speaker 3>me thank my team so much. Like I've never seen

1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:45.479
<v Speaker 3>anyone be so gracious towards those around him, even when

1:16:45.479 --> 1:16:48.240
<v Speaker 3>I pay him a compliment, just no one else around

1:16:48.920 --> 1:16:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Damn you kill this shit man. That was some though.

1:16:52.600 --> 1:16:56.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, okay, I've never really I've seen Charlomage

1:16:56.760 --> 1:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>one time, so I literally saw him, was like, thank

1:16:58.840 --> 1:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you so much for everything you do for me.

1:17:00.439 --> 1:17:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Have a good day. Wait, you just met him in Atlanta.

1:17:03.600 --> 1:17:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was it. And that's all I said was

1:17:05.520 --> 1:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

1:17:06.240 --> 1:17:12.200
<v Speaker 3>What every Christian famous person like normal and authentic. And

1:17:13.000 --> 1:17:15.439
<v Speaker 3>I think I made a joke on a podcast and

1:17:15.439 --> 1:17:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I tested it once. I was like, man like, they

1:17:17.800 --> 1:17:21.280
<v Speaker 3>were like, who do you think is someone that you've

1:17:21.320 --> 1:17:23.759
<v Speaker 3>met that's a celebrity that you expected to be different?

1:17:24.320 --> 1:17:26.320
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Charlomanne answers the phone every time. I

1:17:26.320 --> 1:17:28.880
<v Speaker 3>think it's very strange. Yeah, because you're so like, he's

1:17:28.880 --> 1:17:31.240
<v Speaker 3>literally answered. I could hear him at the breakfast. I

1:17:31.400 --> 1:17:35.280
<v Speaker 3>was up, he's monnies me, Like, just really wants to

1:17:35.280 --> 1:17:37.800
<v Speaker 3>make sure he's accessible to people that he cares about.

1:17:37.800 --> 1:17:40.960
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's what's inspired me to be a

1:17:41.000 --> 1:17:45.160
<v Speaker 3>really good leader and just all around good person when

1:17:45.160 --> 1:17:47.800
<v Speaker 3>it comes to people that have paved the way, because like,

1:17:48.080 --> 1:17:49.960
<v Speaker 3>we don't see that, we see a lot of I

1:17:50.080 --> 1:17:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I I, yeah, you know.

1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Well.

1:17:52.120 --> 1:17:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Also, I think the cool thing about him is that

1:17:55.240 --> 1:17:57.719
<v Speaker 1>he has like an all black woman team pretty much,

1:17:58.320 --> 1:18:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and he treats all those women great. Because I've worked

1:18:00.800 --> 1:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>for other people and with other people in the industry

1:18:03.760 --> 1:18:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and it ain't like that it's more of the boy's club.

1:18:05.720 --> 1:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I see the boys getting blessed and the woman getting dirty.

1:18:08.760 --> 1:18:12.200
<v Speaker 3>And Charlemagne is very much again an authentic person. Yeah,

1:18:12.280 --> 1:18:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Like I heard him on a I had a call

1:18:14.640 --> 1:18:18.960
<v Speaker 3>with him for something else, and the other person on

1:18:19.000 --> 1:18:22.240
<v Speaker 3>the other end of the call was very like, what's

1:18:22.280 --> 1:18:25.080
<v Speaker 3>the word I'm looking for, almost like a shell of

1:18:25.080 --> 1:18:27.400
<v Speaker 3>themselves trying to show you how great they are. Charlamagne

1:18:27.439 --> 1:18:31.360
<v Speaker 3>was in a T shirt in South Carolina, I think

1:18:31.800 --> 1:18:33.800
<v Speaker 3>visiting family, or maybe he was outside of his crib,

1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:35.719
<v Speaker 3>but he was like on a chair on a porch,

1:18:35.960 --> 1:18:38.320
<v Speaker 3>just looking like he was chilling, and everybody else is

1:18:38.360 --> 1:18:40.360
<v Speaker 3>suited up, and he's like, y'all are so lucky for

1:18:40.400 --> 1:18:41.720
<v Speaker 3>me to be on this call. Just I could tell

1:18:41.760 --> 1:18:44.120
<v Speaker 3>you that's what he's thinking. And he's so much of

1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:47.599
<v Speaker 3>himself and still giving you gems. And I was like, Wow,

1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:49.760
<v Speaker 3>he didn't even feel the need to like do it

1:18:49.840 --> 1:18:52.680
<v Speaker 3>up for some Hollywood people. Yeah, because he knows like this.

1:18:52.880 --> 1:18:56.639
<v Speaker 3>His brand is so raw, and I think we have

1:18:56.760 --> 1:18:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to be that way. We can't try to be the

1:19:00.160 --> 1:19:02.840
<v Speaker 3>person that we think other people would like, because they'll

1:19:02.880 --> 1:19:04.960
<v Speaker 3>smell it just like you do. You know what I'm saying.

1:19:04.960 --> 1:19:06.880
<v Speaker 3>People smell that all day every day. You could be

1:19:06.920 --> 1:19:09.120
<v Speaker 3>a casual listener that's in that YouTube that's like this

1:19:09.160 --> 1:19:09.880
<v Speaker 3>person's a liar.

1:19:10.000 --> 1:19:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people clock it. Yeah.

1:19:11.600 --> 1:19:13.679
<v Speaker 3>And for you to know that as someone that's bringing

1:19:13.680 --> 1:19:16.559
<v Speaker 3>these people in, like I think that says a lot.

1:19:17.080 --> 1:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:19:19.080 --> 1:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Eventually we'll get to the.

1:19:21.120 --> 1:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Space where there's like I can actually call bullshit on

1:19:23.960 --> 1:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the mic. I'm not there yet, I know, but there

1:19:27.280 --> 1:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>have been a couple where I'm like, bull shit, what

1:19:31.360 --> 1:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>about you?

1:19:31.800 --> 1:19:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Being like, there's got to be a.

1:19:35.080 --> 1:19:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh I go in and you can tell because they

1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>won't answer the question. And that's how I know it's bullshit.

1:19:40.080 --> 1:19:42.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, Okay, you're just boying. I'll ask seven

1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:44.880
<v Speaker 1>different ways. I'm like, Okay, I call bullshit, but I

1:19:44.880 --> 1:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>won't say it on the mic yet. I'm not there yet.

1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Plus I gotcha host, They're like, oh, like be there

1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:52.360
<v Speaker 3>for the moment.

1:19:52.720 --> 1:19:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:19:53.080 --> 1:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And then also like there's the uncomfortable space, you know

1:19:57.160 --> 1:19:59.519
<v Speaker 1>with our shows, like we dig into the vulnerability a

1:19:59.560 --> 1:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit deep, and I like to say to everybody

1:20:04.040 --> 1:20:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a safe space. Like if I think there's something

1:20:06.080 --> 1:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to say on our show that I

1:20:07.920 --> 1:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>think is going to ruin your career or cancel you

1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:12.439
<v Speaker 1>do you don't even have to send your publicists or

1:20:12.439 --> 1:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>whoever over to like, oh my god, Colleen or beg me,

1:20:15.320 --> 1:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to remove it just on game. I'm just

1:20:17.600 --> 1:20:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you shared your story.

1:20:18.760 --> 1:20:22.519
<v Speaker 3>I completely agree with you. I think that keeping those

1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>moments like I've seen Megan James, I mean, I don't

1:20:26.080 --> 1:20:28.120
<v Speaker 3>want to talk too much shit. She's spent some money

1:20:28.120 --> 1:20:33.519
<v Speaker 3>about WTS Studio, but there's some clips where I'm like, WHOA, yeah,

1:20:33.920 --> 1:20:36.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I'm kind of surprised you invite someone

1:20:36.920 --> 1:20:39.920
<v Speaker 3>in your space to like do that m h. And

1:20:40.000 --> 1:20:42.479
<v Speaker 3>she's just sticking out of my mind right now. I'm

1:20:42.479 --> 1:20:45.400
<v Speaker 3>not saying she's like a terrible person, but it's a

1:20:45.600 --> 1:20:50.800
<v Speaker 3>it's a style interviewing that works for her. Maybe she's

1:20:50.880 --> 1:20:52.840
<v Speaker 3>on more streams than almost who knows, But like, I

1:20:52.840 --> 1:20:53.960
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I could do it.

1:20:54.160 --> 1:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel about honestly, like Jason Lee, to

1:20:56.280 --> 1:20:57.840
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I feel like some of the stuff he'd

1:20:57.880 --> 1:20:59.280
<v Speaker 1>be doing, I'll be like, well maybe, And I have

1:20:59.280 --> 1:21:01.599
<v Speaker 1>this conversation with little brother all the time, and I'm

1:21:01.600 --> 1:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>always like, ego, maybe maybe I should sell out, Like

1:21:04.200 --> 1:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>because I look at such and such kind of like

1:21:06.320 --> 1:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>how you look at social media, be like, look at

1:21:08.000 --> 1:21:11.679
<v Speaker 1>this person. It's like they're really honestly, like they don't

1:21:11.680 --> 1:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck about anybody's career, you know, and then

1:21:14.000 --> 1:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>they Jason Lee.

1:21:15.560 --> 1:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>At Charlemagne back in the day, I'm Magan James. I

1:21:18.240 --> 1:21:19.479
<v Speaker 3>think you know what you're getting when you go on

1:21:19.479 --> 1:21:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the door. Yeah, And I think people almost it's like

1:21:24.120 --> 1:21:26.880
<v Speaker 3>ze Way. People would say, how the fuck does anyone

1:21:26.960 --> 1:21:27.639
<v Speaker 3>keep going on there?

1:21:27.720 --> 1:21:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Like, you know, I don't know what ze Way is, but.

1:21:29.800 --> 1:21:31.519
<v Speaker 3>You don't know what she's the black girl that had

1:21:31.520 --> 1:21:33.639
<v Speaker 3>the show on Showtime where she would ask people questions

1:21:33.640 --> 1:21:37.559
<v Speaker 3>and like should Julia Fox. Charlemagne was a guest on there.

1:21:37.600 --> 1:21:39.240
<v Speaker 3>She was her famous one.

1:21:39.840 --> 1:21:40.960
<v Speaker 2>But what was she ask them?

1:21:41.680 --> 1:21:43.880
<v Speaker 3>She would just ask them questions that would make them

1:21:43.880 --> 1:21:47.520
<v Speaker 3>look bad. Oh really, Like she showed Charlemgne a diagram

1:21:47.520 --> 1:21:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and had them point out someone She was like, oh,

1:21:49.160 --> 1:21:51.040
<v Speaker 3>so you think that white people are superior type shit?

1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, But like it's like she was one of

1:21:52.920 --> 1:21:55.760
<v Speaker 3>those and I think like people prepare themselves for those

1:21:56.040 --> 1:21:57.639
<v Speaker 3>funny Marco. I don't know how people.

1:21:57.479 --> 1:21:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Say what that nes is that the one is where

1:21:59.600 --> 1:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the guy just says like insulting things or something kind

1:22:02.840 --> 1:22:05.479
<v Speaker 1>of yeah, because I saw that show and I was like, look,

1:22:05.520 --> 1:22:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I just love that show period.

1:22:07.280 --> 1:22:08.439
<v Speaker 3>But like it's content.

1:22:08.680 --> 1:22:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's content is very good.

1:22:10.479 --> 1:22:12.880
<v Speaker 3>I think maybe it's just content that I can't make,

1:22:12.960 --> 1:22:15.160
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, you know, it's hard for me to push

1:22:15.479 --> 1:22:18.800
<v Speaker 3>unless I think something's wrong, Like I do Man on

1:22:18.800 --> 1:22:21.880
<v Speaker 3>the Street for my TV show a lot. Yesterday, this

1:22:21.880 --> 1:22:24.040
<v Speaker 3>guy talked about how he had another girl to work

1:22:24.120 --> 1:22:26.320
<v Speaker 3>or do something and I was like, he's black. Oh,

1:22:26.280 --> 1:22:27.519
<v Speaker 3>all kind of girls you day, and he's like, I

1:22:27.520 --> 1:22:31.080
<v Speaker 3>prefer white. And then I can see the camera crewisers

1:22:31.080 --> 1:22:34.479
<v Speaker 3>in the back, like oh, like really, he was like, yeah,

1:22:34.520 --> 1:22:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I just updated a black girl and they're really crazy.

1:22:36.560 --> 1:22:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, okay, so have you ever met a Karen?

1:22:39.920 --> 1:22:42.120
<v Speaker 3>He was like, well, I don't think that type of way. Oh,

1:22:42.120 --> 1:22:43.400
<v Speaker 3>but there are crazy white women.

1:22:43.760 --> 1:22:48.120
<v Speaker 1>But basically right now, my future ex husband he loves

1:22:48.240 --> 1:22:51.640
<v Speaker 1>white women. But his thing is that black women's standards

1:22:51.680 --> 1:22:55.920
<v Speaker 1>are are higher or like they're not as easy as

1:22:55.960 --> 1:22:58.679
<v Speaker 1>a white girl, and so he lives for the white girls.

1:22:58.800 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 2>He lives for that's.

1:23:00.600 --> 1:23:02.479
<v Speaker 3>Literally only cheated, I mean the white women, to the

1:23:02.520 --> 1:23:05.400
<v Speaker 3>point that I was like, you must, yeah, you must,

1:23:05.800 --> 1:23:08.160
<v Speaker 3>you're dating me, So your mom is happy. Yeah, and

1:23:08.160 --> 1:23:10.680
<v Speaker 3>then I realized, oh, maybe I was just light skinning up.

1:23:11.280 --> 1:23:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Like, do you This is completely random, but I have

1:23:14.520 --> 1:23:16.719
<v Speaker 1>a pet peeve about dating a guy that only dates

1:23:16.760 --> 1:23:17.439
<v Speaker 1>mixed girls.

1:23:17.760 --> 1:23:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it.

1:23:18.600 --> 1:23:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I haven't missed.

1:23:19.360 --> 1:23:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you haven't.

1:23:20.800 --> 1:23:23.439
<v Speaker 3>Only I didn't know, Like you don't know until.

1:23:23.240 --> 1:23:25.160
<v Speaker 2>You don't know, but when you find I know.

1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>For me, I just feel like there's a little bit

1:23:27.120 --> 1:23:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of colorism issues there, Like dudes that are like I

1:23:29.760 --> 1:23:33.360
<v Speaker 1>only like light skin I'm like, all right, I don't know,

1:23:33.439 --> 1:23:35.519
<v Speaker 1>that's weird. But I started to think when my ex

1:23:35.600 --> 1:23:41.200
<v Speaker 1>husband my future that maybe he maybe he genuinely just

1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:43.400
<v Speaker 1>likes white girls and he's just saying that as like

1:23:43.439 --> 1:23:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a cover up.

1:23:44.880 --> 1:23:46.800
<v Speaker 2>No, I think you're right.

1:23:47.120 --> 1:23:53.120
<v Speaker 3>He's like, hey, she light white in a different light, Yeah, exactly,

1:23:53.200 --> 1:23:56.040
<v Speaker 3>like on some real shit. I think it's kind of

1:23:56.080 --> 1:23:58.200
<v Speaker 3>scary because you really have to clock them as light

1:23:58.200 --> 1:24:00.200
<v Speaker 3>skinn people. You gotta clock them as mixed girls like

1:24:00.439 --> 1:24:02.600
<v Speaker 3>this shit is not cute for like a man that

1:24:02.640 --> 1:24:05.000
<v Speaker 3>you're dating to only date. I had a guy tell

1:24:05.080 --> 1:24:08.280
<v Speaker 3>me once that I was acting dark skin He told

1:24:08.320 --> 1:24:11.240
<v Speaker 3>me it was crazy that my hair wasn't super curly.

1:24:11.320 --> 1:24:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Like most mixed girls. Wow, And he was like, you

1:24:13.880 --> 1:24:15.559
<v Speaker 3>talk different. Wow.

1:24:15.760 --> 1:24:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I don't like that. Yeah I don't. I won't.

1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I won't.

1:24:21.160 --> 1:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Well right now, thank god, I'm like one hundred percent

1:24:23.960 --> 1:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>focused on not dating, which is this is the longest

1:24:25.960 --> 1:24:26.799
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been seeing.

1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:28.479
<v Speaker 3>That's when they be coming too. I'll be trying to

1:24:28.479 --> 1:24:30.040
<v Speaker 3>act like I'm not focused on dating. I'll walk in

1:24:30.080 --> 1:24:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the club and be like, I'm not looking for anyone.

1:24:35.479 --> 1:24:37.720
<v Speaker 3>I like how you be positioned in it too. I

1:24:37.800 --> 1:24:41.320
<v Speaker 3>want to date so bad, man, but it's it's tough,

1:24:41.400 --> 1:24:42.520
<v Speaker 3>and honestly.

1:24:42.840 --> 1:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you juggle a breakup with a with a business. Honestly,

1:24:46.080 --> 1:24:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm terrible. If it wasn't for my high school friends

1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:50.920
<v Speaker 1>scooping me off the floor behind closed doors.

1:24:51.240 --> 1:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Girl, he's gonna.

1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Be okay, you know what I'm saying, Like, I have responsibilities,

1:24:55.560 --> 1:24:57.000
<v Speaker 3>like hate to get more of it. But the only

1:24:57.040 --> 1:24:58.760
<v Speaker 3>things that have kept me from killing myself is my

1:24:58.840 --> 1:25:01.719
<v Speaker 3>dog and my team. And it's not because they're encouraging

1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:04.920
<v Speaker 3>me to stay, you know, and it's like, hey, we

1:25:04.960 --> 1:25:06.519
<v Speaker 3>need you to be alive so we can make money.

1:25:06.720 --> 1:25:08.680
<v Speaker 3>But like, literally I think about them and I'm like

1:25:09.320 --> 1:25:10.679
<v Speaker 3>one of the people that worked for me I recently

1:25:10.720 --> 1:25:13.800
<v Speaker 3>found out used to be homeless and thanks me all

1:25:13.840 --> 1:25:15.599
<v Speaker 3>the time for being able to do things for their

1:25:15.640 --> 1:25:19.839
<v Speaker 3>mother now and like it's fucking wild. I get random

1:25:19.840 --> 1:25:21.640
<v Speaker 3>texts from a lot of our staff at two in

1:25:21.680 --> 1:25:23.200
<v Speaker 3>the morning, love working with you, and I'm like, all

1:25:23.200 --> 1:25:26.439
<v Speaker 3>these niggas is wrong and it's such a good feeling.

1:25:27.400 --> 1:25:28.920
<v Speaker 3>But I think about that. I think about that when

1:25:28.920 --> 1:25:31.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting down on myself, like how dare you? Yeah,

1:25:31.360 --> 1:25:33.640
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, Like, you are helping all

1:25:33.680 --> 1:25:35.519
<v Speaker 3>of these people. I'm gonna leave my parents alone in

1:25:35.520 --> 1:25:38.160
<v Speaker 3>the world. And when I tell you, my dog no bullshit.

1:25:38.280 --> 1:25:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I was just being trauma queen one day. I was like,

1:25:40.280 --> 1:25:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be here anymore. And I looked

1:25:41.800 --> 1:25:43.240
<v Speaker 3>at her. I was like, who's gonna feed me up

1:25:44.680 --> 1:25:47.559
<v Speaker 3>with those little things? Like really got to bring you back.

1:25:47.600 --> 1:25:50.240
<v Speaker 3>But when running those businesses, I'm sure for people that

1:25:50.280 --> 1:25:53.280
<v Speaker 3>are listening that only have themselves, you probably feel like, well,

1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.479
<v Speaker 3>who do I fight for? You? Fight for your future self?

1:25:56.960 --> 1:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1:25:57.520 --> 1:26:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Right? Everything is momentary. When you're broke, it's momentary. Sometimes

1:26:03.320 --> 1:26:05.040
<v Speaker 3>when you get in a big check, it might be momentary.

1:26:05.040 --> 1:26:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Like everything is.

1:26:05.680 --> 1:26:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Kind of momentary. It's just that feeling that will last

1:26:07.960 --> 1:26:10.160
<v Speaker 3>for a little bit, as strong emotions only for a

1:26:10.200 --> 1:26:12.160
<v Speaker 3>little bit, even when you're crazy in love. It just

1:26:12.240 --> 1:26:14.519
<v Speaker 3>kind of lasts for a period of time. And I

1:26:14.560 --> 1:26:17.680
<v Speaker 3>think that when we're down, we feel like it's the end.

1:26:17.800 --> 1:26:19.880
<v Speaker 3>But you've gotta have faith in your future self.

1:26:20.120 --> 1:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that. I'm a personally remember that.

1:26:24.080 --> 1:26:28.040
<v Speaker 1>No, now that I have Zariyah, my daughter, I'm like, yo,

1:26:28.080 --> 1:26:31.160
<v Speaker 1>if you leave and you the number one gangst the

1:26:31.240 --> 1:26:34.479
<v Speaker 1>soldier for her, ain't nobody gonna go harder for ze

1:26:34.600 --> 1:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>than you?

1:26:35.680 --> 1:26:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Then then what's she gonna have?

1:26:37.479 --> 1:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, shit, I guess, I guess that's it.

1:26:42.000 --> 1:26:44.519
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. But I do think too though.

1:26:44.560 --> 1:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes when you are having a bad day and you

1:26:46.360 --> 1:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>have all these responsibilities, I'll.

1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Be like, well, how can I go? I got like

1:26:49.840 --> 1:26:52.519
<v Speaker 2>sixteen things planned next week that I have to get done.

1:26:52.600 --> 1:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't even take the one day off.

1:26:54.360 --> 1:26:58.040
<v Speaker 3>This is why they said they all done. There say

1:26:58.080 --> 1:26:59.960
<v Speaker 3>this thing about how you have to have something for

1:27:00.240 --> 1:27:05.639
<v Speaker 3>two week, month, No, I think next days, week or month.

1:27:05.720 --> 1:27:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember what it is, but it's basically so

1:27:08.000 --> 1:27:10.040
<v Speaker 3>that you don't get to where you feel like you

1:27:10.080 --> 1:27:12.759
<v Speaker 3>have nothing. There has to be something on the calendar,

1:27:12.800 --> 1:27:15.400
<v Speaker 3>whether it be a workout, whether it be a nail,

1:27:15.760 --> 1:27:17.920
<v Speaker 3>something you scheduled for yourself. Even if it's not a trip,

1:27:17.960 --> 1:27:20.479
<v Speaker 3>it's dinner at a cool place. You gotta have something

1:27:20.479 --> 1:27:23.320
<v Speaker 3>because if you don't have that, then you feel hopeless,

1:27:23.720 --> 1:27:25.759
<v Speaker 3>like we need to have those things. My mother actually

1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:28.240
<v Speaker 3>gets like that. My mom's in her seventies. She gets

1:27:28.320 --> 1:27:29.080
<v Speaker 3>so bored.

1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to bring the riots to your mom.

1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, baby something to do bad. She does

1:27:35.960 --> 1:27:38.479
<v Speaker 3>it with random people in like restaurants, especially if they're

1:27:38.520 --> 1:27:41.439
<v Speaker 3>like black and cool. Shed just be looking at the baby.

1:27:42.320 --> 1:27:44.720
<v Speaker 3>She won't talk either. She'll just start to do this

1:27:44.800 --> 1:27:47.679
<v Speaker 3>while the mom's eating it's fine, and then keep talking

1:27:47.680 --> 1:27:47.840
<v Speaker 3>to me.

1:27:47.840 --> 1:27:54.040

1:27:54.080 --> 1:27:55.200

1:29:31.800 --> 1:29:34.240
<v Speaker 3>My favorite episode of all time on there was when

1:29:34.240 --> 1:29:37.240
<v Speaker 3>my mom did phone sex. That was crazy.

1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I would be greatest phone sex.

1:29:39.520 --> 1:29:41.599
<v Speaker 3>By the way, maybe you would, it's I would.

1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I would be phenomenal.

1:29:43.080 --> 1:29:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Just so I covered the business that does it. She

1:29:45.120 --> 1:29:46.759
<v Speaker 3>teaches women how to keep them on the phone.

1:29:46.920 --> 1:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>And like, I was in a celibate relationship, so I

1:29:49.240 --> 1:29:49.919
<v Speaker 2>will say.

1:29:51.479 --> 1:29:53.320
<v Speaker 3>I just got out of a smular relationship.

1:29:53.479 --> 1:29:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Really, I hated it, and I absolutely hated it.

1:29:56.320 --> 1:29:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I have hundred and then I got with my husband,

1:29:58.600 --> 1:30:00.720
<v Speaker 1>who was like the opposite, just a SuperH and I

1:30:00.800 --> 1:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>was like.

1:30:01.280 --> 1:30:02.439
<v Speaker 2>This is the best.

1:30:02.479 --> 1:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>But it came out of a celibate relationship and ran

1:30:05.320 --> 1:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>right to the opposite.

1:30:06.640 --> 1:30:08.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, yeah, you need to do it three times

1:30:08.720 --> 1:30:08.960

1:30:09.280 --> 1:30:10.800
