Speaker 3: Where Queen's come in the building.
Speaker 5: We know that you know you you go with the
Speaker 5: watch on. It's a little it wasn't my size and
Speaker 5: take a link out of a song. Now I gotta
Speaker 5: get into my jewelership. But it's so good, let's get
Speaker 5: into it. Brow this. Howd this start for you?
Speaker 4: Bro? How did this? How did this start?
Speaker 5: The whole Instagram thing altogether? You just from the from
Speaker 5: the top. It just basically started for me, Like I
Speaker 5: wasn't in school. I went to BMCC. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: I went there. You said it start here, go anywhere.
Speaker 5: So that's a.
Speaker 3: School model, you really believe?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it makes sense now because I did a lot,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. I always said that. So
Speaker 5: I was in school, but I wasn't really doing too
Speaker 5: good in school. And then I worked a job and
Speaker 5: I kind of sort of I just lost my job
Speaker 5: and the way I think about to lose my job,
Speaker 5: and the Instagram just came along with the videos I
Speaker 5: was trying to get on vine, but I could have
Speaker 5: never catched the wave of the six seconds when Instagram
Speaker 5: came out. And then I just started doing it and
Speaker 5: it got crazy.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: The first video got viral for me. It wasn't even
Speaker 5: a funny video. It was kind of more like a
Speaker 5: serious video about what's basically I say, if if so
Speaker 5: I was saying, like, if I'm talking to you, if
Speaker 5: I'm texting you, right and you say we're just talking,
Speaker 5: don't tell you. It's so stupid, so stupid. But it's
Speaker 5: basically like saying when girls like oh, I used to
Speaker 5: talk to but it was just like you told me
Speaker 5: we was just texting. So it's just like, don't tell
Speaker 5: your friend that we're talking. You told your friend some
Speaker 5: stupid shi which it makes no sense right now because
Speaker 5: I can't explain it to us too much. But it
Speaker 5: went crazy because relationships, you know, relationships crazy all the time.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm saying, like I was always give relationsip advice.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm saying, been released for like yeah, so
Speaker 5: I always give that. So if anybody need any help
Speaker 5: with that, cosy thanks. So I started there. You know,
Speaker 5: fab is a posting one of my videos of how
Speaker 5: I'm a clown video and I'm Crazy in the City. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Shoka shoku, Yeah, you don't get a copyright.
Speaker 4: I'm a clown. I'm a clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that back then, that's what like wheah was
Speaker 2: that fifteen?
Speaker 5: That's what back then, when you get like a celebrity,
Speaker 5: it meant something. Let you go with mean, yeah, you
Speaker 5: get a celebrity shout out back then, like your following
Speaker 5: would just like shoot up, like twenty thirty k. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So like he helped me out
Speaker 5: with that. He got my following going crazy. And then
Speaker 5: I used to do everything bits and bits with myself
Speaker 5: for my friends, do a little skits every now and
Speaker 5: then and just.
Speaker 2: Kind of that's when he was in the basement with
Speaker 2: the friend in the basement. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: that Jesus Sandals he was. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: he was tapped in for back then.
Speaker 5: A lot of times people don't they forget it's a
Speaker 5: disconnect from like because I did the the drake and
Speaker 5: my feelings thing. A lot of people like forget about
Speaker 5: how much things I used to do before that. I
Speaker 5: used to do a lot.
Speaker 3: There was a lot a lot. I thought one day
Speaker 3: he was going to hurt your leg the way he was.
Speaker 5: I was sturdy, you know what I'm saying. I always
Speaker 5: had strong legs. I used to have o d hops
Speaker 5: back in the day. I used to tell my man,
Speaker 5: I used to be able touch him in eighth grade.
Speaker 4: What happened now?
Speaker 5: My legs were bad. I had tried to kick somebody
Speaker 5: one time then I missed, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: my knee, like I think it discolocated. But I never
Speaker 5: went to the doctor, so I probably got like a
Speaker 5: torn a c l.
Speaker 3: Just on the humble just touch rim. None happened.
Speaker 5: Actually I got hops now.
Speaker 2: But that's a valid point that you break. As far
Speaker 2: as people don't see, everything is worked, no matter what
Speaker 2: it is, like you know what I'm saying, like, how
Speaker 2: much work do you put in the content out as
Speaker 2: far as like your videos, you just film a video
Speaker 2: or is it? Like I don't like that, Let me
Speaker 2: do it again, let me edit it. Let me see
Speaker 2: this angle? What's the what's the okay?
Speaker 5: Angles really don't matter to me. That's like I look
Speaker 5: like crazy in their face. So I don't really care
Speaker 5: about angles too, you know what I'm saying, enlightening and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. So it's got giggling. Man, I'm ugly. Yeah,
Speaker 5: see see that right there is like me embracing, not
Speaker 5: me being ugly. But it's just like but like everybody
Speaker 5: in my comments, they be like, damn you ugly. You there,
Speaker 5: you ugly. You never got a haircut, So I just
Speaker 5: went under dream and she's like, yo, I'm ugly. People
Speaker 5: probably really think I'm ugly, but I was really just
Speaker 5: trying to express myself in a different way, and I
Speaker 5: was tearing up. I was crying, yelling and screaming. So
Speaker 5: a lot of people like me for that then, and
Speaker 5: I got like like sad, people like like, oh damn,
Speaker 5: feel sorry for him. But now I don't think I'm ugly.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm smooth. I got a lot of
Speaker 5: things going for me, but with content, I just feel like, uh,
Speaker 5: that's how I go about it. I get something in
Speaker 5: my head, like an idea, like a quick just like, uh, damn,
Speaker 5: I hate when girls be like you ugly, and then
Speaker 5: that's it starts for dead. That's it. That's all that's
Speaker 5: in my head. And then I start doing the video
Speaker 5: and then she just start popping out. It's just like
Speaker 5: a freestyle, just not popping up, popping up, popping out.
Speaker 5: And the real roar is that first time I probably
Speaker 5: post it, but you know, every time again you post
Speaker 5: it and you mess up, and then you post it again,
Speaker 5: but then loses this flavor every time every time, So
Speaker 5: after I post it too many times, I'll be like, nah,
Speaker 5: let me just get this back again. When I when
Speaker 5: I'm really in that mood, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: compared to me forcing it because I got the idea
Speaker 5: in my head. So that's why it's very important to
Speaker 5: write you know what I'm saying because it'd be moods
Speaker 5: times when it's like when I'm in a good mood,
Speaker 5: I post like I could post like three or four
Speaker 5: videos back to back to back to back to back,
Speaker 5: like I know pretty sure you do the interviews, you
Speaker 5: might do anythings back to back to back to back.
Speaker 5: One thing I'd be having trouble is like like curying
Speaker 5: how I post you what I'm saying because it's like, Okay,
Speaker 5: one week, got this, this, this, this, because it be
Speaker 5: moods of times. But I'll be like, I'm not even
Speaker 5: mood and I'm not in the mood. Moment moments be
Speaker 5: longer than my I'm in the moved moments. It'd be
Speaker 5: like a couple of weeks and my friends got to
Speaker 5: be like, there, what's up? What it was like I'd
Speaker 5: be in the zombie like in my feelings, I'd be
Speaker 5: like I want to do nothing and I gotta And
Speaker 5: when I'm in that mode, and I'm happy I post
Speaker 5: four videos of everything, Like damn, I could have posted
Speaker 5: at four videos throughout the month instead of me trying
Speaker 5: to post all four videos and they be like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I see you going crazy because videos on the grand
Speaker 5: they don't last. Song next day is something new, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. That shit is hard to like
Speaker 5: every day you got to create content or I'm just
Speaker 5: trying to figure out, like on a weekly basis, something
Speaker 5: strong enough that could create. That's what I'm trying to
Speaker 5: work on, Like more substantial content, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: longer content.
Speaker 3: You're c you know this in your head, you're not
Speaker 3: writing the scripts because I think you were probably one
Speaker 3: of the first people I've ever seen that had the
Speaker 3: multiple voices in the video, three or four different characters.
Speaker 5: I used to play like everybody and I but back
Speaker 5: then I used to literally switch up because before you
Speaker 5: used to be able to cut you shoot this, switch
Speaker 5: put a hat on, sits just do a girl, a
Speaker 5: little bun, a little stupid like like what's it called
Speaker 5: would you wash your body with whatever?
Speaker 3: Talking about you.
Speaker 5: Know walls clock, No, that's not what's it called? Alave
Speaker 5: louva louvo, something like that put that I used to
Speaker 5: put that I used to do, like, used to be
Speaker 5: so vivid. I used to play like my like a
Speaker 5: step pop. I don't got to step out. I got
Speaker 5: my father in my life and my mom's so I
Speaker 5: used to play like a character. I play a step parts,
Speaker 5: yoking up myself. So I used to be at a
Speaker 5: camera like this with my other hand sleep poles. I
Speaker 5: used to go really crazy. That's what like. Back then,
Speaker 5: people be saying like, damn, you need to go back
Speaker 5: to that, because I just don't. You don't realize how
Speaker 5: much like you was into it. You know what I'm
Speaker 5: saying now that I didn't realize. Sometimes I look back,
Speaker 5: it's like, nah, I used to be really really funny,
Speaker 5: Like certain things I used to do is just like damn,
Speaker 5: like you never.
Speaker 3: Thinking about how I'm thinking about some of my favorite joints.
Speaker 3: So I think, where's the inspiration coming from? Because while
Speaker 3: you're talking, I'm thinking about when you used to be
Speaker 3: in the window people walk by.
Speaker 4: Like what's the chronicles?
Speaker 3: Where'd you get it from? Like there's something that you saw,
Speaker 3: like maybe a comedian who had did something in the
Speaker 3: same sort you like I can throw my own twist
Speaker 3: to this.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I think I'll be crying
Speaker 5: a lot of things I do. But then you some
Speaker 5: things be embedded in your mom from years ago. You've
Speaker 5: probably seen it your member. It's like called suppressed memories,
Speaker 5: I guess, and you bringing forward so you know, sometimes
Speaker 5: people be like, oh, you copied me, Like I don't know,
Speaker 5: Like Mare and Lawrence is like one of like my
Speaker 5: biggest influences and stuff like that. When I do things,
Speaker 5: that's like, but I don't know who's influencing me. I
Speaker 5: just do things. I'm funny. People like, oh shit, you
Speaker 5: mind me and mar And it's like, damn, I do.
Speaker 5: I think I'm just being myself. So I forguess like
Speaker 5: mariin like helped me out with that. And then the
Speaker 5: hood thing is just like certain things and conversations that
Speaker 5: people say around me, like right now, like I'll be
Speaker 5: able to take what I learned here today and just
Speaker 5: do a whole skit about it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It's y'all life, but I'm just here embracing it, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So it would be my girl too.
Speaker 5: I'd be having certain things, I'd be like, I'm here
Speaker 5: living it, living it too, so I'm just seeing things
Speaker 5: like in a freaking like comical way, because you know,
Speaker 5: everything could be taking as funny anything, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this, So, at what point
Speaker 2: do you I, you're doing the videos, you're funny obviously,
Speaker 2: do you ever think like y'all could actually make money
Speaker 2: out of this? And then like when you realize you could,
Speaker 2: how did you turn that into a business?
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, I was lucky, like because my I
Speaker 5: was lucky because for me it wasn't crazy money, but
Speaker 5: like it started off for like little parties and hostings
Speaker 5: stuff like that when people want to see you come.
Speaker 5: Like I used to go to colleges and I used
Speaker 5: to hold so shows and like Queen's College for a
Speaker 5: couple of hours, and like it started early. As soon
Speaker 5: as I got lit, I was able to make some
Speaker 5: money off of like being places. So for me, it
Speaker 5: started like real real early, but starting to make it
Speaker 5: like business wades. It's like I don't know, I don't
Speaker 5: really know, but for me, it started early, like people
Speaker 5: was offering me like one hundred two hundred dollars to
Speaker 5: do something four hundred dollars to that's me coming from
Speaker 5: like a regular nine to five where you get paid
Speaker 5: two hundred dollars for working really hard, compared to me
Speaker 5: just doing something like what you want me to come
Speaker 5: on stage and talk full five minutes and to get
Speaker 5: off and let somebody else and then come back Like
Speaker 5: it was like hell, yeah, let's do that. So for me,
Speaker 5: it started early with the being able to monetize off myself,
Speaker 5: but then as you go through along, like more people
Speaker 5: start getting involved with the Instagram thing because a lot
Speaker 5: of people didn't know or see like the value and
Speaker 5: what Instagram. For me, I was like a couple of
Speaker 5: us started like twenty thirteen to twenty fifty years.
Speaker 4: Half boys start together, Nah I started.
Speaker 5: I was doing my videos before Fat but we started
Speaker 5: like twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: I feel like now the battle Yeah, it was going crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah's nah. I was like Fat Boy a beast, though
Speaker 5: I aint gonna lie he a beast because he's one
Speaker 5: of those people that kind of like started getting people
Speaker 5: together in his videos because he brought me and Queens
Speaker 5: swip together. He was doing a lot of collapse linker
Speaker 5: with people. Me I was doing my thing with my
Speaker 5: friends and in my basement by myself. I was doing
Speaker 5: like a lot of my content by myself. I feel
Speaker 5: like you could be way more yourself. When you buy yourself,
Speaker 5: you don't got to worry about connecting with people. And
Speaker 5: just like it's like doing the feature on the song.
Speaker 5: We just like, let me just do my thing and
Speaker 5: you do your thing. That's why I love the most.
Speaker 5: I'm saying, you want to do my class. I just
Speaker 5: don't tell people what to do. I'd be like, yo, yo,
Speaker 5: be you. I'm gonna be me, and it's gonna make sense.
Speaker 5: It's gonna work because nobody's trying to be something else
Speaker 5: that they're not. You know what I'm saying. That's like
Speaker 5: me coming on here talking dad, y'all trying to be funny.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be funny when you just yourself and I'm
Speaker 5: just me now, y'all comical, y'all funny. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: So as far as like when when did you really
Speaker 2: like hit the stride and like become a star. Was
Speaker 2: it before the Drake? I feel like it was before Drake,
Speaker 2: and Drake just kind of took you out of Yeah,
Speaker 2: you really like, Yo, this is this is bigger than
Speaker 2: just you know, local party.
Speaker 5: I feel like twenty seventeen I was coming into that
Speaker 5: before that was like a local like people knew me
Speaker 5: for twenty seventeen. Coming to twenty eighteen along like the
Speaker 5: whole year, like I was doing like dope things. I
Speaker 5: went to like Diddy Party to start the year, So
Speaker 5: I was like a good way to start the year
Speaker 5: off compared to like being to being like I'm doing drinking,
Speaker 5: like what's it called?
Speaker 6: Like this is.
Speaker 5: I'm drink what's it called? Like apple cider with my parents? Yeah, Minal,
Speaker 5: I'm bringing that with my my parents, bring the New
Speaker 5: Year's I'm sure my girl yeah, with my cat's chilling,
Speaker 5: it's not. And then when yeah we had Diddy Crab Party,
Speaker 5: It's like damn. Like in that year I went to Vegas,
Speaker 5: I was moving around crazy, and then I had to
Speaker 5: stephen A. Smith before the drink thing, like right before.
Speaker 5: So that's like that got me over. I just reached
Speaker 5: a million followers and I was on the grim like
Speaker 5: I was always like kind of like underrated. A lot
Speaker 5: of people knew me, but my following wasn't going up
Speaker 5: as fast as a lot of people that was in
Speaker 5: my space. I used to be like, damn, wh I'm
Speaker 5: gonna get verified, when I'm gonna get a blue chair,
Speaker 5: wh I'm gonna get a million follow us because my
Speaker 5: father used to go slow. Then I had a million
Speaker 5: in June, like a couple weeks later, I did the
Speaker 5: stephen A. Smith that was on ESPN Going Crazy, and
Speaker 5: then like a week after that, I did the Drake Thing.
Speaker 5: So twenty eighteen, seventy seventeen to eighteen, it was like
Speaker 5: really really big, Like I remember I was in La
Speaker 5: one time twenty fifteen. That's when my face call was
Speaker 5: up though, like a lot of celebrities know, we was outside.
Speaker 5: It was that club playhouse when John wools Shall we
Speaker 5: pull up in the spot like it was lit man.
Speaker 5: It's good, it's lit man.
Speaker 2: So like did did Drake thing. That was just completely organic.
Speaker 2: You're just doing it and you just did the dance,
Speaker 2: just hear the song and just put it up and
Speaker 2: yeah pretty much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yo, that right there is kind of funny because
Speaker 5: when I did it, like when you do something videos,
Speaker 5: it's just like with that you think, like yo, if
Speaker 5: I get Drake the repost, it's like, you know how
Speaker 5: you think on the grands, like if I get some
Speaker 5: gig flogs and people to pick it up and repost it,
Speaker 5: I'll be able to make my money because that's going
Speaker 5: to be able to people, brands and stuff gonna see
Speaker 5: me working and stuff like that. But I never knew
Speaker 5: what's gonna get that big. But ob j he the
Speaker 5: one that he hit me up. He was like, Yo,
Speaker 5: I'm about to do that dance. I'm gonna do your
Speaker 5: dance and he he was like, and I was like, yo,
Speaker 5: he sent me it. I was like, all this valet,
Speaker 5: you're gonna do that. He's gonna do it again. He
Speaker 5: just posted it. I even know do the shiggy, that's
Speaker 5: the most important thing that and that's why I feel
Speaker 5: like June Bug is able to do it and run
Speaker 5: around to his name is attached to it. So when
Speaker 5: do the shig is like shaggy, shaky, shy. So everybody
Speaker 5: was tagging me, so my follower was going up, going crazy,
Speaker 5: going crazy doing it. I would be posting the videos
Speaker 5: and that thing went bigger than I ever would manage.
Speaker 5: Because when I did the video, I was just like
Speaker 5: I did it twice. I was like, I was so
Speaker 5: tired I was just like, you know, just posted up.
Speaker 5: My friend was like you su I was like, Noah,
Speaker 5: I forget it. It's just like it's whatever. It's a
Speaker 5: dancing video's always gonna hit because all my dancing videos
Speaker 5: do good numbers, you know what I'm saying. And I
Speaker 5: was just thinking of a number, I asked. Not really
Speaker 5: a business thing.
Speaker 3: So what was that called? Like when when when OVERO
Speaker 3: team reached out to what.
Speaker 5: Was that called?
Speaker 3: Said? What was it called? Like?
Speaker 5: Oh nah, you know it is what I sent. I
Speaker 5: sent it to Drake. So he was always like having
Speaker 5: a conversation the DM, like because he followed me from
Speaker 5: from before, like he posted one of my videos back
Speaker 5: in the day too, like what I did the more
Speaker 5: like when he dropped more Life, so I did some
Speaker 5: little more life like whatever would Jamaican thin? So yeah,
Speaker 5: so he is in a conversation, so I know a
Speaker 5: lot of things, like what was happening as far as
Speaker 5: that the video, Like the video turned around was fast
Speaker 5: as hell. He was already talking about video. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: It was like fast, Like I was like, nah, I
Speaker 5: thought I had to tell you, like yo, you should
Speaker 5: do this. He's like, yeah, we're only on it like
Speaker 5: his team is, so it's valid though, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. That's why you can see why he's so successful.
Speaker 5: Is a great team. That's why team and supporting. I
Speaker 5: feel like y'all got a good establishment of people around
Speaker 5: y'all too to make the thing you got.
Speaker 4: That's the fact. That's it. That's the fact.
Speaker 2: That's what I asked you estay as far as your team,
Speaker 2: and I wanted to ask you that, but before that,
Speaker 2: so going through that experience with Drake and blowing that
Speaker 2: whole situation up or whatever, would.
Speaker 4: You have done? You think differently?
Speaker 2: And what did you learn like from the like it's
Speaker 2: kind of hard to really do anything because it's like you,
Speaker 2: like you said, you just did it Dan, Like you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It's like you can't go to
Speaker 2: the label like I got because it's not even like
Speaker 2: a proven concept. Yeah, tell you for something that they
Speaker 2: don't even know for sure. Which how do you feel
Speaker 2: about how the whole thing played out?
Speaker 5: I played out pretty well? I mean I can't change that,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Of course I could feel
Speaker 5: like I could do things differently, but it makes me
Speaker 5: playing for like I mean, the future for me. So
Speaker 5: that's the only days you got to learn through the
Speaker 5: mistakes that you made. I plenty for it had less
Speaker 5: fun but more focused on the business. You know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying of things, because I feel like I was
Speaker 5: having a lot of fun at that time, and I'm
Speaker 5: saying I was moving around and saying I was able
Speaker 5: to do so it's lit, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I was going to a different country, I was doing this.
Speaker 5: But it's fun. But I never like sat down and
Speaker 5: be like, Yo, what's the what's the plan? Even though
Speaker 5: you feel like you got a plan, but sometimes you
Speaker 5: gotta be your five year plan. It's like to have
Speaker 5: a five year plane and then next week your five
Speaker 5: year plane is head. It's just like, oh damn, Like
Speaker 5: I wasn't really prepared for that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So we just having a lot of fun and by
Speaker 5: the time I try to slow it down, like certain
Speaker 5: things are to die, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So what's that ever a part of you that you
Speaker 3: felt like, damn, I made that that song popular, like
Speaker 3: I needed to compensate that.
Speaker 5: Nah, it was really just like the internet, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Because I used to do things to songs,
Speaker 5: and songs used to get big a little bit, and
Speaker 5: I never thought about that. It was just like the
Speaker 5: internet got that in my head where I was feeling
Speaker 5: like yo, maybe yeo, like you're right, I could have
Speaker 5: got this.
Speaker 4: I got this.
Speaker 5: I was talking to people. People just come to be
Speaker 5: like yo, man you geld. I was like, damn, I
Speaker 5: never thought about that and put that head off my own,
Speaker 5: like I was just living in the mummy, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So your team like, at what point, because it's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's like I feel like Internet celebrities are real celebrities,
Speaker 2: is no different and like they have the same So
Speaker 2: it's like do business managers do agents? They start reaching
Speaker 2: out to you and like come, Like you said, it's
Speaker 2: it's crazy because, like you said, the year before that,
Speaker 2: you're in Queen's and your parents' basement. The next year
Speaker 2: you're in Diddy's you know house, just chilling and hanging out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, it happened real quickly. So how did that
Speaker 2: happen and how did that Like, how was you able
Speaker 2: to navigate like hiring accounting?
Speaker 4: Did you do that? Did you get a business manager?
Speaker 3: Did you get a manager people.
Speaker 5: The thing about that I had like my friend Manjin,
Speaker 5: he was like good in business. My friend Mike, so
Speaker 5: he was like he's like, you know the friend that's
Speaker 5: always in the business owner. So he used to have
Speaker 5: met on a lot of stuff. I have another friend
Speaker 5: Davy Jones. I had a lot of friends friend. I
Speaker 5: had a lot of good people that's on like that
Speaker 5: business side. I was never like on that from like
Speaker 5: when I was like younger, like I was always like
Speaker 5: the fun guy. So I had a lot of friends.
Speaker 5: I was on that like with the credit card stuff
Speaker 5: like that, or everybody had a lot of friends around
Speaker 5: it that was on that sort time, like on the
Speaker 5: business side of you. I was understanding things and I
Speaker 5: was already moving around, Like I said before, I was
Speaker 5: ready getting money. So I was already moving around and
Speaker 5: like doing things. So like when people ask me certain
Speaker 5: questions like nah, a certain part whatever, it was easy.
Speaker 5: It was just a fun part, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I was having too much fun and just like forgetting
Speaker 5: about certain things, and I was like so lit like
Speaker 5: certain things would have come to me and I was
Speaker 5: just like, yeah, I'm like here. So I used to
Speaker 5: pass over things you never know, like who you passing on.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, when you moving around, you
Speaker 5: don't know who you passing up. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: You just probably didn't shake the right hair and that
Speaker 5: one day. You know what I'm saying, because you haven't
Speaker 5: a job, you know what, you never know In.
Speaker 3: Terms of like brands trying to reach out to you,
Speaker 3: You're like, all right, I'm good.
Speaker 5: Ah nah, some brand.
Speaker 4: It's so crazy.
Speaker 5: I was getting like certain Randal's from before. I was
Speaker 5: getting like agencies and here we are. But I was
Speaker 5: never like prepared for like those type of things I've
Speaker 5: been at like it because like sometin people were on
Speaker 5: that already, like on that Instagram is the next best thing,
Speaker 5: you know, and there's people that be like yo, it's
Speaker 5: the next day. It's people that talk to you to
Speaker 5: be like yo. But if Instagram the leader today is
Speaker 5: just like what the hell? It's just like I'm not
Speaker 5: even thinking like that. I'm thinking like the glasses have full,
Speaker 5: like all times, like IG is here, We're gonna run
Speaker 5: it up. If it's gone. I feel like I got
Speaker 5: enough like people that connected with to keep going. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying and everything. It's like I feel
Speaker 5: like I could switch to turn the switch and turn
Speaker 5: it off and do something different right now, and I
Speaker 5: still be good, you know what I'm saying, Like I
Speaker 5: passed that plateau, what I feel like, I would still
Speaker 5: be good, you know what I'm saying, no matter what.
Speaker 4: So how is it for?
Speaker 2: I feel like music and comedy is kind of similar
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, where like before, if you
Speaker 2: wanted to be a rapper, you had to go to
Speaker 2: depth gym, you had to get a label deal. Now
Speaker 2: rappers is making themselves hot online on YouTube, on Instagram,
Speaker 2: on TikTok really, and now the labels is coming to
Speaker 2: them right. And I feel like comedic comics is the
Speaker 2: same way, Like you know what I'm saying, Before you
Speaker 2: had to go to Saturn Night Live. You had to
Speaker 2: go to like you know what I'm saying, comedy get hot,
Speaker 2: But now guys getting women also is getting hot on online.
Speaker 2: But how is that transition from getting hot online to
Speaker 2: going more tradition like becoming an actor, learning about movies
Speaker 2: and all that, Like, how how are you navigating going
Speaker 2: from getting hot online on Instagram to becoming like your
Speaker 2: goals of being movies and all of that.
Speaker 5: It's funny you say that I'm probably right now in
Speaker 5: that trend positioning, you know what I'm saying. So that's
Speaker 5: a question you probably ask me later, and I've got
Speaker 5: a real answer right now. Just like a lot of
Speaker 5: people tell me, like acting classes, because people watch your grammar.
Speaker 5: You think you're good enough because you post card that
Speaker 5: you go viral. But it's just like if you get
Speaker 5: a little more like like critique, a little more help,
Speaker 5: a little more stronger than your failure. So like I
Speaker 5: take acting classes, you know what I'm saying, the transition
Speaker 5: to take I'm about to yeah, about to yeah, really
Speaker 5: like because I feel like I'm good. I'll be seeing
Speaker 5: you know, you see certain things like you watch it,
Speaker 5: you be like I could have did that.
Speaker 2: It's important for you to say that because it's like
Speaker 2: people look at everything and they just like, right, somebody's talented,
Speaker 2: but you gotta work on your craft. Yeah, they said,
Speaker 2: somebody said hard work beach talent. When talent doesn't work hard. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was playing two K. That's one of the life
Speaker 2: then back then, that was one of those that's one
Speaker 2: of the models of two K for sure. That's a
Speaker 2: fact because it's a whole it's a whole new industry. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Think about the Instagram comedy.
Speaker 2: It's only been around for a few years. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think about it like that. But people are becoming very
Speaker 2: well known and very successful off of it. But it's like,
Speaker 2: like you said, you can't believe an answer it because
Speaker 2: it's not even the process.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get the trailblazer, like you're the hottest guy,
Speaker 3: and so like now there's going to be a bunch
Speaker 3: of people following you.
Speaker 5: Now I'm not just saying I'm the hottest. It's a
Speaker 5: lot of hot people. Like, it's people that I was like,
Speaker 5: I was just talking about Melvin greg for me, and
Speaker 5: like Woodie McClain, Woody look great. He they too like
Speaker 5: Instagram violent people. That was funny as hell. And now
Speaker 5: they got characters on shows. It's just like completely like
Speaker 5: different from them. So it's just like, I know, they
Speaker 5: went super hard get the right team around you, because
Speaker 5: you could have an agent and the agency I was
Speaker 5: talking about that before, like and they don't do nothing
Speaker 5: for you. You know what I'm saying, They'll just have
Speaker 5: you there just like being on like you said in
Speaker 5: the record label that you could have a dope artist,
Speaker 5: but you got them on the shelf, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, just wasting his time with So I need
Speaker 5: somebody around that's like their work work and that understands. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm still this hot deal on Instagram, but I want
Speaker 5: to be a next big thing. I wanted to be
Speaker 5: like I won't say the right name, but I want
Speaker 5: to be the next comedian actor. But I never hit
Speaker 5: the stage, you know what I'm saying. But that's the thing,
Speaker 5: Like so many people like DC on fires like I
Speaker 5: see them more like Mike Epps. Oh you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Bruce, I'm saying, Oh, the dope comedian is
Speaker 5: just like Yo, Roy, you did it, bro, Like you
Speaker 5: gain respect from both sides. So I'm definitely like, is
Speaker 5: that a.
Speaker 3: Lot of for successful comedians right well, this day and age,
Speaker 3: you guys are breaking the mold. Obviously you that boy
Speaker 3: coming from Instagram to now? Is it the stairs to successes?
Speaker 3: I start on Instagram, I built my platform. I end
Speaker 3: up at comedy clubs, movies.
Speaker 5: Uh, I probably want to hit movies before I do
Speaker 5: comedy stand up. You know what I'm saying. I've never
Speaker 5: really been interested in doing stand up like ever. I
Speaker 5: know some people are just like interested in doing stand
Speaker 5: up to they feel like right, I've always been interested
Speaker 5: in being front of the camera and like acting, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. That's always been my interest. So
Speaker 5: my interests probably be like if I can skip the
Speaker 5: stand up comedy all together and I go do that, ever,
Speaker 5: then I'll do that now as well, because talk about
Speaker 5: like the different types of comedy. People don't really realize that,
Speaker 5: but it's like, you got stand up comedians. You got
Speaker 5: comedians that's in movies. You got comedians that's in sitcoms.
Speaker 5: How you got probably a new genre of short because
Speaker 5: even in this Instagram movie genre genre John, it's always
Speaker 5: I couldn't let that, John, John, I couldn't let that
Speaker 5: go all.
Speaker 2: But there's a whole new realm where it's like short
Speaker 2: sixty second to like two minute clips. So talk about that,
Speaker 2: like how difficult it is and just how different it is.
Speaker 2: It's like being a stand up is not the same
Speaker 2: as doing a movie. And everybody that does movies can't
Speaker 2: through stand up. Everybody does stand up can't do movies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just gotta find what's good for you? You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. Me the skitch work, I don't
Speaker 5: know if stand up comedy might doesn't work for me yet,
Speaker 5: so you know what I'm saying. I never really tried it,
Speaker 5: so I can't say it's like more difficult. I can't
Speaker 5: even say if it's different and I never did it.
Speaker 5: But the content, I feel like a lot of times
Speaker 5: content we gotta, like Instagram, we gotta constrain it, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, because we feel like an audience
Speaker 5: and then people talk to people. Sometimes I do a
Speaker 5: lot of yels on ig lib I should be over
Speaker 5: two minutes, almost three minutes, and I'd be like, nah,
Speaker 5: this is good, bro, like it's good, and sometimes be
Speaker 5: like trying to cut that three minute content until a minute.
Speaker 5: It's like doing a whole interview and then like you said,
Speaker 5: you're talking yesterday about having showing the clip and like
Speaker 5: trying to get everybody to understand what that whole interview
Speaker 5: was about from that one little clip, and you can't
Speaker 5: get it. So that's why I like to post long content.
Speaker 5: That's why I feel like I'm in the room like
Speaker 5: yo ig, I love it, But I know I could
Speaker 5: post more I could know, I could do more, Like
Speaker 5: I'll be watching Country Wayne or like a country Wayne
Speaker 5: posts like five minute videos every dinner every day and
Speaker 5: they get good views. So it shows me, like, Yo,
Speaker 5: people are watching, people are listening. You could get those
Speaker 5: people that used to watch your videos for a minute
Speaker 5: to watch it for ten. If you get to watch Attain,
Speaker 5: you can watch it for thirty, which is like a
Speaker 5: shitcom show. You get thirty, know what I'm saying? Just
Speaker 5: like that, Yeah, shall you get it?
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the other side because you
Speaker 3: said a lot of times you're not in the mood.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So let me.
Speaker 3: Think of Smoke your Robinson. You familiar with Smoke Robbinson, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the sol Tears of the Clown and it pretty
Speaker 3: much just talks about always being the person that makes
Speaker 3: sure everybody else is laughing, but who makes you laugh.
Speaker 3: And so I want to know how you deal with
Speaker 3: always having to be on it. Do you feel the
Speaker 3: pressure to always have to be on Like you walk
Speaker 3: in the street and they're like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's that like you, it's like fifty fifty because
Speaker 5: when you go outside and you feeling like down and
Speaker 5: then you see somebody that show you mad love. It
Speaker 5: lifts you up. And then there's be times when you
Speaker 5: go outside you don't want to you want to be
Speaker 5: bothered at those. That's why I like the masks thing
Speaker 5: right now, because you be able to, like I'm able to,
Speaker 5: like I sometimes throw on us up here some glasses
Speaker 5: when the mask with my hat and I just be
Speaker 5: able to walk around freely sometimes and just like that's
Speaker 5: something like sometimes I miss it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Be able to just walk around and just like nobody
Speaker 5: noticed me sometimes, just be able to just be like
Speaker 5: walk around to the back of the store, just live life,
Speaker 5: you know I'm saying. Something going on with my girl,
Speaker 5: Like we went to the museum. It was just like
Speaker 5: it was one of the best things ever for me.
Speaker 5: Were just able to just beat in and just be free,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. A lot of times you
Speaker 5: don't get that everybody, especially with the DA saying everybody
Speaker 5: wants you to be crazy turn up. I'm like, yo, bro,
Speaker 5: it's like even the type of person I am, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like a lot of things I
Speaker 5: do I do with my friends about myself, like the
Speaker 5: funny crazy thing I never do things like I'm not
Speaker 5: even out going like that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I'm super like chill to myself, but my character online
Speaker 5: is super like little shit is like Yo, you're well
Speaker 5: boo wait, I don't even drink yeah for me, turn
Speaker 5: up yo, turn up yo, come on. And I'm a
Speaker 5: turn up dude, but I do it on my own time.
Speaker 5: I was never like the life of the party. I'm
Speaker 5: the type of party person that's like, I turn the
Speaker 5: party up, you know what I'm saying. But if I
Speaker 5: said the same time, I be chilling the corner because
Speaker 5: I don't drink, I don't smoke, so sometimes I be
Speaker 5: partying and I don't got that extra boost. So when
Speaker 5: things get whack, things get we I just be in
Speaker 5: a cut like Yo, this is whack, let's get out
Speaker 5: of here. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It's funny you say that because a lot of people
Speaker 2: might not be aware. But most entertainers and actors are
Speaker 2: more reserved introverts, like if you look at Robert the
Speaker 2: Narrow even beyond Jay Like, it's interesting because they have
Speaker 2: like alter egos, like when they perform, you know they
Speaker 2: they on after that, They're very reclusive like most people
Speaker 2: are reclusive and when they get in front of the camera,
Speaker 2: but that's hard for people to understand.
Speaker 4: But it's interesting, and I was.
Speaker 2: Saying how they most people don't understand that because so
Speaker 2: when they see them, they kind of like taking back
Speaker 2: because these people is like real laid back, like they
Speaker 2: just being like assholes. But it's like that's not who
Speaker 2: they are, Like they're naturally reserved.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I was saying.
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes people be like, oh, you ask me
Speaker 5: what you want to do? They just be yourself. It's
Speaker 5: just like, Yo, it's like so many parts of me
Speaker 5: for me, I bet so Like you know, sometimes people
Speaker 5: be like, yo, be yourself, and you just got so
Speaker 5: many different like parts of who you are. You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I got the chill, reserve part of me,
Speaker 5: and I got the part that's turned up, but I
Speaker 5: don't want to turn up too much. And people look
Speaker 5: at like, yo, what the hell's going on? Fee me?
Speaker 5: And I want to be reserved to where people like yo.
Speaker 5: Hear way though, but you know what I'm saying, I
Speaker 5: am who I am, so we say be yourself. They
Speaker 5: only probably talking about like the internet. You you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Not the part that's like kind of
Speaker 5: like intelligent or loving or just like shy, whatever. It
Speaker 5: just be you be you. That's why sometimes I used
Speaker 5: to like when I do skits with certain people that
Speaker 5: do contact, like I don't mind playing the person in
Speaker 5: the back because I know how to play that person
Speaker 5: in the back, so well, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: You're living in that character exactly.
Speaker 5: I like that and like with the in my fields
Speaker 5: that it got me boosted up to like a different level,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Before I was just like
Speaker 5: on something like I was in there, but it was
Speaker 5: always people that was up there, up there more, but
Speaker 5: I always remain ended. But then in my films got
Speaker 5: me kind of like it was a dance thing and
Speaker 5: I'm really like a funny dude, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So that's been funny that that's the thing that just
Speaker 5: like catapulted me. But it's just like it's a part
Speaker 5: of me too, you know what I'm saying. And for
Speaker 5: a good while it was just like yo, stop doing
Speaker 5: the dancing because I let people like you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, dictate what I want to do with myself.
Speaker 5: People used to say, like man, crazy think at the internet,
Speaker 5: people just like this, this, this, this used to be
Speaker 5: too much dance dance. I was like, yo, matter of fact,
Speaker 5: I ain't dancing no more. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I ain't doing that dancing. I ain't not doing dance.
Speaker 5: No hit up, nobody with no dancing. And it's just
Speaker 5: like mess up a lot of things because I could
Speaker 5: have been running it up and now just like look,
Speaker 5: crash forward a whole year later at twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
Speaker 5: TikTok and all that. That's all that is, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, That's all it is. And I stopped
Speaker 5: when I could have been doing it, doing it, doing it.
Speaker 5: I probably could have been a big TikTok thing too,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Do you feel pressure like a lot of times, like
Speaker 2: an artist will come out with a song or album
Speaker 2: that's classic number one, and they feel pressure to duplicate that.
Speaker 2: You feel did you feel pressure or do you feel
Speaker 2: pressure if you get something crazy that goes out the
Speaker 2: park like the end? My feelings is there pressure to
Speaker 2: create another one like that?
Speaker 5: Like a dance?
Speaker 3: Just in general?

Speaker 5: Nacause I ain't come from that day, you feel me,
Speaker 5: I ain't come from like being the best, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. Like when even in school, I ain't
Speaker 5: come from getting a hundred tests every day. I was
Speaker 5: getting seventy five, seventy seven, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So if I get a hundred one day, I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna be like I ain't try to get a hundred
Speaker 5: every time. And my fellows, big and a lot of
Speaker 5: people was a part of that.
Speaker 3: It wasn't just me.
Speaker 5: It's like a lot a lot of extra parts in that.
Speaker 5: So would I be I don't know if black sold
Speaker 5: do something, would I be able to get a big
Speaker 5: celebrity to post it? What I be able to get
Speaker 5: Would it be able to be a part of a
Speaker 5: big artist. I don't know. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: because I did that organically, so I never feel pressure.
Speaker 5: It's not like I was super planning it out and
Speaker 5: just have a whole team around me and just like
Speaker 5: this gotta be it, this got to be it. It
Speaker 5: just happened to be the one, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: So it's no really pressure. It's pressure kind of now
Speaker 5: to like put out content where it's just like content
Speaker 5: that has to be effective, but not like that big
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. When people watch my posts
Speaker 5: and be like, Okay, it's good, it's good. You still
Speaker 5: do your thing. You still do your thing. And that's
Speaker 5: why I always tell people like Yo, they look at
Speaker 5: me sometimes they'll be like, Yo, you're doing this, doing that?
Speaker 5: How I get here? It's just like, nah, but I
Speaker 5: ain't start here. And I'm saying I started off with
Speaker 5: zero follows, just like everybody else, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I started off just trying, like seeing the little things
Speaker 5: in my thing. I used to do videos back then.
Speaker 5: I used to get probably fifty comments, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, a couple of likes and that. Back then
Speaker 5: it was just like, oh cool, So you just got
Speaker 5: to see it. Come on, man, cover it up. So
Speaker 5: you got to just see the like see like the
Speaker 5: the highlights and the little that you do, like the
Speaker 5: little things like in posting god cut man edit yo,
Speaker 5: I want to turn it up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: What the what you guys got going? It's enough about me?
Speaker 3: I mean, it is not. I feel this. There's one
Speaker 3: thing that I do see and it's happened probably over
Speaker 3: the last month or two. I feel like there's a
Speaker 3: transition and I saw it with you Got the end
Speaker 3: of Soon prime thing. Yeah, so I feel like there's
Speaker 3: a transition that you're trying to make. What's that like
Speaker 3: when brands now approach you and it's not I don't
Speaker 3: want the guy was dancing, I don't want the comedian.
Speaker 3: I want to see the serious side of him. How's
Speaker 3: that transition been for you?
Speaker 5: I never got that quite yet.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 5: Like people like you know, Instagram, they probably want you
Speaker 5: to be that Instagram guy. They want you to be
Speaker 5: that character stuff like that. So I never really like,
Speaker 5: even when I'm in that zone, I always want to
Speaker 5: like kill that part of me. What I'm saying, I'm
Speaker 5: not killed that part of me, like kill that role
Speaker 5: of me being a funny, funny persons. When I do
Speaker 5: get a chance to do the funny thing, I want
Speaker 5: to do it because I want to do that. I
Speaker 5: want to be people like, Yo, he's funny.
Speaker 4: But what's the deal with the Amazon you talk about that?
Speaker 4: Oh No?
Speaker 5: That was similar on leven ansd my boy Thomas. I
Speaker 5: met him, like I think I met him Chicago that
Speaker 5: alls at weekend. It was last year though, But just
Speaker 5: like you know, COVID and mess up. A lot of
Speaker 5: things were going on. So they was just hit up
Speaker 5: a couple of dope people from like New York. They
Speaker 5: had somebody the Green Lady that had tiger Hood that
Speaker 5: what's my due name? Man damn Action Bron saying they
Speaker 5: had a couple of dope people.
Speaker 4: Part of it.
Speaker 5: It was supposed to be like a whole dope piece together,
Speaker 5: but COVID like messed up that the whole thing up
Speaker 5: and we all shot the individuals. But I was doing
Speaker 5: like a little content deals with that and Amazon. I
Speaker 5: did a couple of things with Amazon. What It's just like,
Speaker 5: and I just every time I get brand deals like that,
Speaker 5: I try to work hard because you want those brand
Speaker 5: deals to come again and again. You know a lot
Speaker 5: of times on Instagram people do like one off and
Speaker 5: I'm like, yo, I'm tired of doing like one off
Speaker 5: little deals. I do get a good amount of money,
Speaker 5: and that's it. I'll be trying to be like Yo,
Speaker 5: I'm trying to do so good that they hit me up.
Speaker 5: Every time there's something Amazon related, whatever brand it is,
Speaker 5: they hit me up again and again because like, nah shit,
Speaker 5: he did his thing, he did his thing, he went hard,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. He tried again, he tried,
Speaker 5: he was patient, like he's on time. So that's why
Speaker 5: I was trying to focus the punctuality. That's why I
Speaker 5: came here a little early, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I came here two fifty seven, so for me especially
Speaker 5: to be at three o'clock, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to be punctual. All that stuff is
Speaker 5: a part of it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking that because I can see
Speaker 3: big brands really coming to you. And one of the
Speaker 3: skits that you did it was a character so.
Speaker 5: Uncle two three four Uncle too three four Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the cash Up it felt like they
Speaker 3: should you should be part of this brand. Like is
Speaker 3: that you did that intentionally so they can see that?
Speaker 5: Nah Me? Me and cash Up been working together for
Speaker 5: a couple of years. What I'm saying. We were doing
Speaker 5: giveaways and I had a song called cash Up the
Speaker 5: money to put on ticktock going on. I was like,
Speaker 5: cash Up, they show a lot of love, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. That's what brand that show a lot
Speaker 5: of love. Another brand was EA. I was doing a
Speaker 5: lot of conto EA. My boy Coziess gave me a
Speaker 5: lot of It's a lot of people that was like
Speaker 5: with brand deals because I come and I do my thing.
Speaker 5: Like I'm not difficult to work with. You know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm not fancy, I don't want too much.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. When people try to do
Speaker 5: too much, I'm chill, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 5: I'm easy to work with. And that's what the one
Speaker 5: thing that a lot of people say with me. I'm
Speaker 5: easy to work with. So that's the best thing I
Speaker 5: got going on for myself. And it's like there was
Speaker 5: other times like you might get tired of a person
Speaker 5: and see it's like there's a whole bunch of people
Speaker 5: on Instagram, so you probably pick somebody different. But me,
Speaker 5: I know somebody can't be like nah, I don't like
Speaker 5: what he did because I did it until I felt
Speaker 5: like it was right or everybody is right, and didn't
Speaker 5: stop until it was good. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So I gotta go nah now, But I really want
Speaker 5: to how we're gonna start talking about the investment and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. I don't want to rush your things.
Speaker 5: I don't know how y'all do y'all process sticks. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. You invest I've been investing for
Speaker 5: about a year now. Uh invested in banking America. But
Speaker 5: I think, like I'll be America Bank. Bank of American
Speaker 5: America is something if it was banking now. But you're
Speaker 5: in this field.
Speaker 2: So you said that banking, so I wasn't if it
Speaker 2: was a new company. I'm just saying, you're in this field,
Speaker 2: so is this something called banking of it?
Speaker 4: I've never heard might something.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not there yet, baking McDonald's, Walmart, Tarja Target.
Speaker 5: I invested in some what's it called man of course,
Speaker 5: like bitcoin and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Too individual stop that. So you bought shares of the company?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the other what's something else will be?
Speaker 3: I don't know. So that was one of the things
Speaker 3: we kind of talk about yesterday. It was like index
Speaker 3: funds and ETFs different ways to invest. O.
Speaker 5: Can we get to you? Because you.
Speaker 4: Wh did you start when you start investing?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: March last March?
Speaker 5: Yeah, like like love March March.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: I invested before and like because my brother was putting
Speaker 5: me on the what's it called the td A military
Speaker 5: think of swim, So he put me onto that. So
Speaker 5: I was like he had me invested in a couple
Speaker 5: of things. Like I invested in CBS because I remember
Speaker 5: somebody was talking about CBS and it was just like,
Speaker 5: you know, CV is about to start doing the COVID
Speaker 5: test in the stores and selling those stores. So I
Speaker 5: invested in CBS. Around time I had was reading some
Speaker 5: article about like something I was building something in like
Speaker 5: La Like in the next couple of years, I invested
Speaker 5: in that and it kind of grew. It was like
Speaker 5: eight dollars a share and now I was like twelve,
Speaker 5: and I put like a couple of dollars into it.
Speaker 5: So and I'm just letting that money sit there and
Speaker 5: I'm on Dolge. Yeah dog should the movie They say,
Speaker 5: that's the fact.
Speaker 4: So what made you get into investing?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: People around me like my boy he sent me, like
Speaker 5: everybody like all the investment things he got me. I
Speaker 5: was on wall or Street trapper. I was on heavy, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 5: I was on him heavy though, because he was like
Speaker 5: speaking away like not saying you guys don't because but
Speaker 5: he speaks away like you know, people can understand and
Speaker 5: relate to. So it's just like you're investing things that
Speaker 5: you buy, and it's like sometimes like a stock of
Speaker 5: course less than a product, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I'm not like a fancy dude. I don't like fair,
Speaker 5: fancy clothes or nothing like that. So why I could
Speaker 5: put like a couple hundred dollars, a couple of dollars
Speaker 5: into a stock and watch that girl instead of be
Speaker 5: buying something for like a pair of sneakers or a
Speaker 5: pair of shirt that I probably wear one of two times.
Speaker 5: I can't even get enough wards of it and I
Speaker 5: want to probably give it away or just like I
Speaker 5: mess it up. You know what I'm saying, Socks, you
Speaker 5: can't really mess it up. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: You just got to watch it, and I'm just trying
Speaker 5: to learn, like once to watch and wants to like,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, just like let it breathe,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: How's that conversation amongst your pears, like now you're on
Speaker 3: that time, the guys around you and the females around you,
Speaker 3: well around you, one female, how is that conversation and
Speaker 3: everybody on board or and everybody trying to learn the
Speaker 3: same time.
Speaker 5: I'm not the one that's teaching. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5: I'm not the one that's like sometimes I talk to
Speaker 5: friends in and just be like, yo, you should do this.
Speaker 3: You do this.
Speaker 5: Sometimes they listen. But I'm not the one my friend
Speaker 5: like nobody, he's the one that's like sending a message
Speaker 5: to everybody like me. I'm just like, all right, cool, Google,
Speaker 5: who's you saying put.
Speaker 3: This in it?
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do that, Like my girl sister, the one
Speaker 5: that got me adulge, and it's so crazy, like she
Speaker 5: was on it earlier and now it's where it's at now,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When did you invest?
Speaker 5: I can't even lie. It was probably like I don't
Speaker 5: even know the scent amount though, I can't even tell you.
Speaker 5: I don't have my phone when like this year, I
Speaker 5: don't know if it was this year last year. I
Speaker 5: can't really like the end of last year or something
Speaker 5: like that. It was the end the last year, definitely,
Speaker 5: that's something made up a lot. Crazy how you know
Speaker 5: that though over thousands because it was up a lot
Speaker 5: and so it probably wasn't though you're not up a lot. No,
Speaker 5: it was like last week watch it? But you well,
Speaker 5: but man, you invested in Nah, you're one of those
Speaker 5: people that like it's like people say, it's like an
Speaker 5: internet thing, like you know what.
Speaker 2: It started as a joke, but a lot Just because
Speaker 2: it started as a joke doesn't mean that it's not
Speaker 2: something that can go up in value. But for me personally,
Speaker 2: I just don't see it has no use case. I
Speaker 2: don't see the point of it, and I don't you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying I just don't invest in something
Speaker 2: that I just don't really understand or I don't see
Speaker 2: the point in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that line right there kind of like me. It's
Speaker 5: like start off as a joke and then setting the
Speaker 5: value I want.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now people say the whole song like yeah you fellow up,
Speaker 5: Like yeah, I fellow I'm still out here working. So
Speaker 5: I want to ask some like what's the next stop
Speaker 5: getting my thing? My phone dropped?
Speaker 2: You got me get that pain because you ain't right
Speaker 2: nowre now, Ever, since you been here, man, this want
Speaker 2: didn't go as as good as.
Speaker 4: So we about to get a paper wat from the
Speaker 4: from the water.
Speaker 5: I don't worry about that. Oh right, that's the other
Speaker 5: thing from the other view.
Speaker 4: Now you that's done. That's already done. Interviews already over, bet.
Speaker 5: So So what's it's for my people around? So what's
Speaker 5: the next big thing that you think, like the next
Speaker 5: big joint? Yeah, we got this conversation off the camera
Speaker 5: to if you I'm just jowing up for the people.
Speaker 5: So we got a show called Market Monday when we
Speaker 5: talk about stocks a lot. So we talk about T
Speaker 5: S M. Yeah you want to talk about that? Yeah,
Speaker 5: So it's the semiconductor. We got to talked about that yesterday.
Speaker 3: Right, everybody has electronics, but everybody doesn't realize that there's
Speaker 3: chips inside those electronic devices that you have, right, So
Speaker 3: your phone, your computer, your iPad, even these microphones have chips. Right,
Speaker 3: And people love gaming, so you grow up EA so games, right,
Speaker 3: they have PlayStation five and Sony there that's only an
Speaker 3: Xbox they have inside of it. So the company that
Speaker 3: makes those chips is something that we invested in because
Speaker 3: we know that technology is always going to invent as
Speaker 3: well as I have chips in it. So TSM is
Speaker 3: the world leader in that they make fifty percent of
Speaker 3: the semiconductors in the world, and so if we know that,
Speaker 3: then it sounds like a sound investment. Disney is something
Speaker 3: also that we invested in. And obviously Apple, I think
Speaker 3: we had a conversation about that. If you look around us, right,
Speaker 3: we use a MacBook, we have an iPad, iPhone, we
Speaker 3: got air buds. Were already invested in. Yeah, why not
Speaker 3: on a piece of it.
Speaker 2: But you know what you said something that was very point,
Speaker 2: and this is something that a lot of people make mistakes.
Speaker 2: You ask like, what's the next thing. Yeah, That's one
Speaker 2: of the key mistakes that people make it invest They
Speaker 2: look past the obvious. This would be like if you're
Speaker 2: putting together an NBA team, right, and I got Jannis,
Speaker 2: I got Lebron, I got Katie, and I got Kyrie,
Speaker 2: and you're saying, what's the next Zion?
Speaker 4: Let me why you already got Lebron?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying a lot of time, But
Speaker 2: that happens a lot and investing where it's like we
Speaker 2: got so many obvious good companies, look past that because
Speaker 2: you want to hit a grand slam.
Speaker 4: Dage that nobody ever heard of.
Speaker 2: But it's like nine times out of ten those companies
Speaker 2: are You're going to lose money that way. So like
Speaker 2: even with crypto, like one of the cryptos that I
Speaker 2: am invested in is Ethereum.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm invested in that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I believe in etherremy and it has use, it has
Speaker 2: real uses. Like these NFTs that everybody keeps talking about,
Speaker 2: most of them is built on the Ethereum platform, and
Speaker 2: you got to use etherrem most of the time to
Speaker 2: buy them. So as the NFT whole thing goes up,
Speaker 2: Ethereum kind of goes up as well. They kind of
Speaker 2: tied together back to that usage thing, right.
Speaker 5: So, yo one that got me was Chipotle.
Speaker 4: That's track that's trapped.
Speaker 5: He is because that's around that time. That's when I
Speaker 5: started to following him. That was around March April. That's
Speaker 5: when I started to following him. That's when the Chipotle thing.
Speaker 5: I eat Chipotle because I will stop eating meat. And
Speaker 5: Chipotle was like one of the places I used to
Speaker 5: always go to, but I invested to just like rice
Speaker 5: beans chic people to the guy, you know, I saying
Speaker 5: a little sauce, no meat, No, I don't do I
Speaker 5: don't do so. I try to voice so and GMS
Speaker 5: and we gotta.
Speaker 3: Give you credit because, like you said, everybody tries to
Speaker 3: hit the home run, but in order to hit throw
Speaker 3: home run, you gotta swing. Yeah. Yeah. The fact that
Speaker 3: you're investing in these things is the first step. And
Speaker 3: now the fundamentals and understanding why you're invested.
Speaker 5: In Ethereum was like it was kind of like, you know,
Speaker 5: bigcoin was like okay, damn. It's like big cooin was
Speaker 5: going up and the numbers Ethereum wasn't that high at
Speaker 5: that point of time, so it was something like decent
Speaker 5: where you put some money in it and you feel like, yeah,
Speaker 5: you get a nicer turn went up like twelve.
Speaker 3: This shite went up higher over the past six months
Speaker 3: and big one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So but your peers into it. You do real estate,
Speaker 4: you're in real estate.
Speaker 2: Nah, so fat boy, I know he rocks with envy
Speaker 2: and sees all, yeah, he have you in the real estate.
Speaker 2: So like, do y'all ever have like the conversations amongst
Speaker 2: your peers, because even looks shout out to eighty five South.
Speaker 2: We met him and he showed us his his his
Speaker 2: stock account. He's like, I've been invested in stocks for years,
Speaker 2: like he was going back and forth and Chico had
Speaker 2: just started investing in stocks more than this. So yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of the people in the industry, comedians that
Speaker 2: we meet, they like either real estate or stocks something
Speaker 2: like that. You think that's just why it just happens that,
Speaker 2: or y'all actually communicate, like when y'all go like, nah,
Speaker 2: you know a lot of times we meet up and
Speaker 2: sometimes you just be like we talk about way more
Speaker 2: than just like that's yeah, comedy, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Because comedy is just like a way to come to
Speaker 2: meet around. But that's not the Daly conversation that we
Speaker 2: should have because we watch people like interviews like that
Speaker 2: came afore us and to see the conversation that we had.
Speaker 5: That's why internet is so good. It's so important because
Speaker 5: you could really listen to somebody and be like, yo,
Speaker 5: I invested in this. I'm serty. I was watching fat
Speaker 5: Boy when he's doing the thing like with Envy and
Speaker 5: all that hit mvy online every day or every day,
Speaker 5: but he always talking about the houses and cars, all
Speaker 5: the things you do. So the conversation is always bigger
Speaker 5: than what we're doing. Now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So it's just like what I can invest in. I
Speaker 5: got a lot of friends that tell me certain things.
Speaker 5: Some time when I get around other people, we just vibe,
Speaker 5: so a conversation may not be there, But depending on
Speaker 5: what the setting is, we always talk about money and
Speaker 5: ways to make money on way to make more money,
Speaker 5: whether it's just like building on like how to create content,
Speaker 5: or just like certain things to invest in. A lot
Speaker 5: of people in the Widow stay because when you pay attention,
Speaker 5: like the richest people in the world and stuff like that,
Speaker 5: like Warren Buffet and all that stuff. People pay attention
Speaker 5: like that, like how I get that money? We had
Speaker 5: multiple sources of income and real estate is up there,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. And the next is like
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's next or whatever. Investment stocks
Speaker 5: they like top two three whatever, like making money, so
Speaker 5: like and it's just like you're making money, make money,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So that's what two jobs
Speaker 5: that do that.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, trader, that's a fact.
Speaker 5: What's the trader? I'm not no trader, mem real.
Speaker 3: Bro No, not trade her trader like you trade stop?
Speaker 4: That was no yo?
Speaker 5: Yeah man, So what's the stock now?
Speaker 4: Matter of fact?
Speaker 5: So you said, what question was wrong?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I said what we said we gave you. We
Speaker 2: said we talked about Ethereal, we talked about did you listen.
Speaker 5: And now you said we this is my man?
Speaker 3: He said, you got my side.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just said ethereal, you did. We just spoke.
Speaker 4: I just spoke about Ethereal.
Speaker 3: I said, TSM, Disney and Apple and.
Speaker 2: You said Ethereal. So you wan into crypto. No, No,
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, give you all sides of the coin. Yeah. So,
Speaker 2: but a m D is another company, it's another chip Trump,
Speaker 2: that's they actually been moving sideways for like six months.
Speaker 3: And he am, a is an Apple, Mary, I.
Speaker 5: Said, and that's what I already got the first letter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Amazon would be a good company to look
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 5: I did Amazon, and I did Tesla, and I remember
Speaker 5: Tesla did it? I don't know you can you explain
Speaker 5: the the Tesla and Apple thing?
Speaker 3: Remember that?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Can you explain that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? All right. So if I told you, uh,
Speaker 3: you got five dollars in one hand, yeah, and five
Speaker 3: singles on the other hand, you have the same amount
Speaker 3: of money. Yes, So that's what they did. They said,
Speaker 3: for every share, we're going to give you five, right.
Speaker 3: So that was a five to one split for Tesla.
Speaker 3: And so for every share that you've had, now you
Speaker 3: have five. And so the price went from let's say
Speaker 3: it was five hundred dollars share. Yeah, now the price
Speaker 3: is one hundred dollars per sure, and now you have
Speaker 3: five save.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why a company but one of
Speaker 2: the reasons why a company would do that is to
Speaker 2: make the stock more affordable. And that also boosts the
Speaker 2: value because the evaluations of the company is usually like
Speaker 2: how much the stocks work? Right, So It's like, if
Speaker 2: more people can buy the stock, now, that's going to
Speaker 2: raise the value of the company.
Speaker 3: So now when you see that one hundred are you
Speaker 3: more likely to I didn't.
Speaker 2: When it was that five for sure one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: which I did? Okay, So am I like stupid for doing.
Speaker 3: Right? Cool?
Speaker 2: A lesson inside the podcast? First, this is eyl First,
Speaker 2: you broke first, the first I got something. I got
Speaker 2: something to pick with you, bro Yeah, so you did?
Speaker 2: You put this post up? And I'm not sure if
Speaker 2: you notice, you probably even know who it was. The
Speaker 2: people kept tagging me in it. They're like, Yo, that's you,
Speaker 2: Troy Mellanes, that's your twin.
Speaker 3: So I put the post? Did that? Yo? Why you
Speaker 3: did that?
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something I was on put that
Speaker 5: on YouTube? I was I was on something. I forgot
Speaker 5: what I was on. I think I was on clubhouse
Speaker 5: or something. And then somebody came back and put that bit.
Speaker 3: On the ficture. I was like, no, this is like
Speaker 3: people that little bad on me, though I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Now I'm trying to see you. I love to see
Speaker 5: man a little kid, So.
Speaker 4: What's what's what? What's next for you?
Speaker 2: As for I told you yesterday some different ideas that
Speaker 2: I think would be dope for you.
Speaker 3: But what what what?
Speaker 2: What's what's next as far as the content, taking the content,
Speaker 2: taking the whole career to the next stage.
Speaker 5: Uh, movies for myself, I'm sorry. I'm starting to work
Speaker 5: on like my own like small projects, small movies, show films.
Speaker 5: So that's the next thing for me. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was writing and my boys is writing it
Speaker 5: and I don't care who directed. So I got some
Speaker 5: ideas that I want to direct myself and I got
Speaker 5: so that's the next big thing to me. And you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, I'm a podcast level you know
Speaker 5: I got.
Speaker 4: Now, Yo, that's funny everything top secret I was.
Speaker 5: I was never interested in podcasts people talking about, but
Speaker 5: being here on the podcast and having a vibe and
Speaker 5: just having a concept, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 4: Have you done a podcast before interview?
Speaker 5: Interview a minute ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing people don't realize, like you know,
Speaker 2: the podcast, like I told you yesterday. But I'll saying
Speaker 2: for everybody, like podcasts can be whatever you make it.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's the dope thing about like podcasts and reason why
Speaker 2: I feel like we just now at the beginning stages
Speaker 2: of the podcast. A lot of people be like everybody
Speaker 2: has a podcast oversaturated, but there's still the vast majority
Speaker 2: of people in the world still have never listened to
Speaker 2: a podcast, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So there's still.
Speaker 2: Millions and billions of people that have never listened. So
Speaker 2: the dope thing about the podcast is that you can
Speaker 2: create with any kind of content you want. You can
Speaker 2: put it out whenever you want, and the format is whatever.
Speaker 2: It's not like you go into like, you know, a
Speaker 2: TV station and they got to tell you, all right,
Speaker 2: half an hour, take a break here, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it gives the creatives freedom to really
Speaker 2: do having I'm saying, like eighty five South, like this
Speaker 2: show is a podcast, but I feel like our podcast
Speaker 2: and there's our podcast nothing like Gillian Wallow's podcast. So
Speaker 2: it's like everybody's got their own spin on it. So
Speaker 2: I encourage all creatives to do it. And it's a
Speaker 2: great networking too, Yeah, for sure, especially if you bring
Speaker 2: it on guests like it's it's a tremendous trument. That's
Speaker 2: probably my favorite part of what we do just meeting
Speaker 2: through people connecting, and we learned learn from everybody that
Speaker 2: we interview.
Speaker 5: We talk a for sure.
Speaker 3: I like, yeah, I told you every every the seven
Speaker 3: thirty first I'm playing it's good.

Speaker 3: Amazing? Last year was even It was great to get my.
Speaker 5: Using my manifestition for yourself.
Speaker 4: The check is a fact, the nerve.
Speaker 2: We created a podcast network, the Free Creators, and to
Speaker 2: give them a voice and you know, Linda expertise because
Speaker 2: we felt like we've actually a lot of people create content,
Speaker 2: but not a lot of people know how to monetize content.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of people know the business. And this
Speaker 2: is what we do for sure.
Speaker 4: So what say comes death from.
Speaker 3: Yo?
Speaker 5: You know, you know the beauty of like having interviews
Speaker 5: and stuff like that and not having regular conversations, you're
Speaker 5: able to like skip your insert and I much see
Speaker 5: what I could do, you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 5: this is best for me.
Speaker 4: The hat never had a brim or.
Speaker 5: Naw, that's straight from Arra.
Speaker 4: It's like a coofie with a I respect that.
Speaker 5: Then I got a haircut. I did it did I
Speaker 5: was fighting, it was fighting. I just doing different things.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, when you get like you
Speaker 5: be able to do different things. I was trying to
Speaker 5: take like fashion wrists. You know what I'm saying, This
Speaker 5: is fashion. I do dress like I do like stylars
Speaker 5: of immaculate.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Impeccable.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Impregnable said that like Tyson,
Speaker 4: I want to eat man like.
Speaker 2: The last question I want to ask you is talk
Speaker 2: about how important having a good team. We spoke you
Speaker 2: know the guys is here right now. Shut out to
Speaker 2: the guys. But how important is having a good team
Speaker 2: around a lot of people just think it's just you know,
Speaker 2: a one man show. How important is we.
Speaker 5: Tell you something and you can do this by yourself.
Speaker 5: You don't need no team or nothing.
Speaker 3: No, it is.
Speaker 5: It's very important and it's very important for everybody to
Speaker 5: know their roles. You know what I'm saying, in the team,
Speaker 5: within the team. But it's very important, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, to keep you up, keep the boat in motion.
Speaker 5: The things you tell people people around that go get things,
Speaker 5: and there's people around that bring things to you. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So I have a good team.
Speaker 5: Everybody is around right now. I got people back in
Speaker 5: New York and stuff like that that's like have me
Speaker 5: on game with certain things that might cross my mind,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. That's why my boy he
Speaker 5: was like moving around, but he always keeps on game
Speaker 5: with things to watch, you know what I'm saying, or
Speaker 5: things I should be doing, Like I should be on this,
Speaker 5: I should be on that. And as a person, sometimes
Speaker 5: you just do your own thing. But it's always good
Speaker 5: to have people around that's telling you certain things. I
Speaker 5: used to have friends that used to have me on
Speaker 5: my on my things. I used to like, you don't
Speaker 5: forget that. I don't care about that, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm doing that. So having a good team
Speaker 5: is very very important, and having a team group people
Speaker 5: around you that understand you as a person, because sometimes
Speaker 5: you get around people and they don't really understand you,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So that's why I keep
Speaker 5: some friends around me, you know what I'm saying, to
Speaker 5: always be like yo, shake now, he don't like that,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Because me, I'm kind of
Speaker 5: like a quiet, laid back type of dude. You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So I might not like something, might
Speaker 5: not say nothing. So having that team with people around
Speaker 5: you that understand your movements and what you feel is
Speaker 5: right and wrong and just like be able to express
Speaker 5: how you feel sometimes is very important, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. So shout out to everybody in my team.
