And it was just 342 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: even as you know, you get to your business manager 343 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: and you got to sign all of this, and I 344 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: was like, man, how do we make this just one 345 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: bit conglomerate, and my goal was like, yo, I just 346 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: want one incredible multi media, just one stop shop. And 347 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 3: probably that's how it all came together. So probably like 348 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: around two thousand and nine twenty ten, I just consolidate everything. 349 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: And then interestingly enough, that's also twenty ten is when 350 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: I got business with Monster and we created the incredible headphones, 351 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: and you know that when we went on to sell 352 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: like two hundred million dollars and head in a few years, 353 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: and you know, it was kind of it was on 354 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: the same pace. I mean, Monster was the same company 355 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: that created Beats by Dre, so I was the more affordable. 356 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: We were in Walmart where they was at. 357 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: You know, thet people than there are albumagty. 358 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: So I learned how to build the brand off the 359 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: hills of that. So it became more than just a company, 360 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: became a brand. That's how we move it. 361 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 2: I love it. Ninety eight You land the role and 362 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: all that. 363 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, the talk about the process of auditioning and getting 364 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 4: that role, because you know I'm starting acting too, so. 365 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: Salute on that. Appreciate it. It's funny I didn't. I 366 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 3: never auditioned. It was one of them scenarios. Just what 367 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: we've been saying. I was behind the scenes. I started 368 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: at my manager and the producers from Nickelodeon saw me 369 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: doing stand up at the at the improv roles when 370 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: I was like fifteen, and I was. 371 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: The kid in it. 372 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: You know, I was going up as Dave Chappelle and 373 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 3: you know Chris Tuck, everybody go. Every month, Monday used 374 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: to be lit. It was no better Mondays, and it 375 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 3: was like that was the black Night. And I was 376 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 3: a fifteen year old kid and they're doing stand up. 377 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 3: So they was like, yo, this kid got a real voice. 378 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 3: So took a couple of meetings and they gave me 379 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: an opportunity to you know, do the warm up, do 380 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: pretty much my set, you know, before the actual actors 381 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: and everybody came out, and I would have to be 382 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 3: put on for like three hours, and it'd be so 383 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 3: much people would be mad when they'd have to go 384 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: back to shooting. Like the warm up kid is more 385 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: entertaining what's going on on the show. So from there 386 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: I was the warm up and then they started asking me, 387 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 3: you know, for help with the jokes and concepts because 388 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 3: I'm still a high school student. So they was like, well, 389 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: he knows his voice better than and a lot of 390 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: these adult writers. So they allowed me. They gave me 391 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 3: an opportunity to have a staff writer's position that like 392 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: as a team. I was the youngest staff writer in 393 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 3: television history. And then from there I was writing for 394 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: All That and Kenan and Kel and a bunch of 395 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: different shows, and like I said, I was started writing 396 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 3: my own show. So it was almost by default that 397 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: I was on the show because I was behind the 398 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 3: scenes as the warm up in the writer. And you know, 399 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: even by then, I kind of just was like, yo, 400 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 3: let me just have fun. I wasn't trying to trying 401 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: to be the star to show and I was just there. 402 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: And I think that's even when you think like how 403 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: SNL and a lot of that work, like they just 404 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 3: find their lane, and I was just really as a 405 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: kid trying to find my lane amongst you know, ten 406 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: other talented young people. 407 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: It seemed like all this shit was just fun. But 408 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying that the sounds fun. He was having fun, yeah, 409 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: and then the money started coming with the fun. Yeah, 410 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So don't really feel I mean, 411 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: although it's hours in time, it doesn't really feel like 412 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: work because you love to do it anyway. 413 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: That's exactly what. That's how I lived my life even 414 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: still to this day. It's like, if I ain't having fun, 415 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 3: I ain't doing it. 416 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: You know, that's a. 417 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: Blessing to have that level of freedom to where you 418 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 3: could wake up and say, I'm gonna do what I 419 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 3: want to do, and if I'm not enjoying myself, I 420 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: want to have a delightful disposition so I could fuck 421 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: with everybody and be cool and like, nobody liked to 422 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 3: show up to somewhere. They feel like they forced to 423 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: be there. So it's like and I feel I think, 424 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: you know, one of the quotes say is like money 425 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 3: don't make you happy.

I ain't 779 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 3: know what it was gonna be. Again. I just thought 780 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 3: it was another dope opportunity to have fun, and you know, 781 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 3: I was gonna go hard because I knew this world. 782 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 3: And then once we went to Atlanta, it's another thing too. 783 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 3: They want I remember for you know, uh, Orlando Jones. 784 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 3: Originally they they wanted Jamie Fox for it. Oh really yeah, 785 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 3: originally Orlando killed it though, But that's what I was like, 786 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 3: I can't even see it, Jamie my favorite actor, and 787 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 3: but I don't think he could have been Doctor Lee. 788 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 3: And it's funny because Drumline became one of Jamie's favorite movies, 789 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 3: and then he was so proud of me. He's like, 790 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 3: you knew me since I was a kid, and he's 791 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 3: like he would for years come up to me reciting 792 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 3: lines of like, man, I love that movie. You and 793 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 3: Orlando killed it. So it's like the energy is just 794 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 3: when it's. 795 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 2: Right, right's right? Can you read music now? Yeah? 796 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was acquiring. I played in the band in 797 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 4: middle school, but that was the hardest thing to do. 798 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 3: It's one of the I mean, you know, I go once. 799 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: It's tedious, so as kids, you don't want to do it. 800 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 3: But even now, like sight reading, like if I sit down, 801 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: I gotta it's gonna take me a minute. But if 802 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 3: I just want to mess around, I can go crazy. 803 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 3: And that's the same thing on the drums or anything. 804 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 3: But when you got to keep that tempo and you know, 805 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 3: it's the language to keep you know, the frequency moving, 806 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 3: so as you're reading, you gotta make sure you vibe 807 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 3: in too. So it's not the easiest thing in the world, 808 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 3: but it's also it's it's simple yet complex. 809 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 2: What's the difference between TV and the big screen. 810 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 3: Nowadays? Nothing? I mean it's all on multiple screens now. 811 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 3: Back then it used to be there. It was some 812 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 3: compartmentalization based off of movie stars would looked at. Yeah, 813 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 3: they used to say television stars are more like family 814 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 3: because they're in your home. Movie stars you are more 815 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 3: on art because they're forty feet high. And then music 816 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 3: stars are more connected to your heart and your passion 817 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 3: because they're in your ear and their party.

So 989 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 3: it's like I've studied every type of diet and really 990 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 3: you got to figure out what works for you in 991 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 3: this scenario like that, the balance of what prescribed medicines 992 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 3: you know, or holistic approaches. I've done it all. I've 993 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 3: set with every type of doctor to kind of get 994 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 3: to that space to be the you know, the best 995 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 3: vessel I could be. 996 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 4: I want to Yeah, I want to commend you because 997 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 4: my third oldest daughter is dealing with lupa's and it 998 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 4: just shuts her down sometimes. So to see you still 999 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 4: be able to do everything you're doing, Man, I command you, bro, 1000 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 4: because I know how tough it could be. 1001 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 2: Bro. 1002 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I appreciate And people don't see that, but 1003 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 3: that's to me. When you have a you know, a 1004 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 3: condition like that, you what I've learned is like staying 1005 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 3: active and consistently then that that prevents getting there and 1006 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 3: that's you know, I was in the hospital in December 1007 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 3: because I was going so hard, wasn't doing what I 1008 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 3: was supposed to do. And then once once it hits you, 1009 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 3: it takes you all the way out. So and that's 1010 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 3: the thing. You're like, all right, I'm gonna do right 1011 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 3: next time, Like you literally like, I'm not gonna let 1012 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 3: that happen again. So I think hopefully, you know, whether 1013 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 3: they find a cure or even a process, but hopefully, 1014 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 3: you know, I'll be able to ride it out as 1015 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,439 Speaker 3: long as long as I'm supposed to. My doctor's always 1016 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 3: telling me, like, if you take care of yourself, you 1017 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 3: can live a normal life. But you start bullshit and 1018 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 3: you know it's gonna take you. 1019 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: Out for those that. And forgive me because I'm not 1020 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: very educated on the process. Can you tell me, like 1021 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: what a tough day is? 1022 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, man, I mean honestly, it's inflammation. I mean, 1023 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 3: we've all kind of dealt with that, and and it's 1024 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 3: you know, at least mine specifically, it is kind of 1025 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 3: related to like the effects of what probably what arthritis 1026 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 3: is or you know what I mean, where your joints 1027 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 3: lock up. Literally you came with your hands hand and 1028 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 3: then you start to swell up and get this stuff 1029 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 3: called a dema where it's like it's water. Your body's 1030 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 3: inflaming all over, so you can't get out of bed, 1031 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 3: you can't move, and it's just feels like bad cramps, 1032 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 3: and then it takes a minute. Like to me sometimes 1033 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 3: it used to be like I just have to However, 1034 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 3: I can make it to the shower or to the 1035 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 3: bath and then hot water actually like all right. And 1036 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 3: then from there it's like making sure I put the 1037 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 3: right vitamins and vegetables and stuff like that, because getting 1038 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 3: your system to recognize how to get rid of inflammation. 1039 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 3: We all got remedies and stuff how to get rid 1040 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 3: of inflammation. So it's a lot of that type of stuff, 1041 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 3: and even simple ideas like green or ginger tea like 1042 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 3: that type of stuff helps. But then and it's usually 1043 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 3: it's a morning time and a night time thing. Once 1044 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 3: I'm in the day and I'm moving, I'm active, but 1045 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 3: it's cool with them. By the time the sun goes 1046 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 3: down again, that's when it's like cramping up and can't move. 1047 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 3: And then that puts a toll on your mind, and 1048 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 3: you know, and I'm pretty sure, like, shoot, if it's 1049 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 3: inflamed everywhere else, it's probably inflamed too. But I think 1050 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 3: that's even that, like I found different methods to help 1051 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 3: deal with like that's why I was even saying the 1052 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 3: circadian clock thing is something that you know, Dick Gregory 1053 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 3: even told me about, you know, back then. He's like, Yo, 1054 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 3: our bodies tell you you're supposed to go to sleep 1055 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 3: when the sun goes down. That's just human nature. He's like, 1056 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 3: that was that was a defense mechanism with predators, you know, 1057 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 3: back in the ancestors days, because and that's when your 1058 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 3: body needs to recharge. You if you're eating and standing 1059 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 3: up during the times where your body's supposed to be recuperating, 1060 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 3: you're gonna throw throw the clock off. And he's like, 1061 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 3: and then if you get up before the sun or 1062 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 3: with the sun, now your body gets a true chance 1063 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 3: to fill all of those enzymes and things and refresh 1064 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 3: its way properly. So now just even with that shift 1065 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 3: in practice, I don't have to deal with a lot 1066 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 3: of those pains and stuff because I go to sleep, 1067 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 3: you know, when my body tells me to, and then 1068 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 3: I wake up and I have that times, whether it's 1069 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 3: from yoga, meditation, and make sure I'm all stretched out 1070 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 3: not cramped up, and I ain't got to worry about 1071 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 3: none of the art. 1072 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 2: Right. Thank you for sharing. We both me and Matt 1073 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:42,720 Speaker 2: both the fathers. 1074 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 4: I think Matt is one of the guys who can 1075 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,280 Speaker 4: be a mascot for being able to juggle a million 1076 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 4: things and be a father and you also a father 1077 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 4: and have a man that wear many hats. 1078 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 2: How is it juggling work and fatherhood? Man? I love it. 1079 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 3: Man, that's my first job. Like you talk about, it's 1080 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 3: just that there's no joy like fatherhood, like when you 1081 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 3: really tap into it. I mean, we're chasing a bag, 1082 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 3: chasing everything we could chase out here, But when you 1083 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 3: really see the effect that you can have over your 1084 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 3: children from birth to whatever they become, like in all 1085 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 3: of you man coaching and stuff like that, Like, shoot, 1086 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 3: my son got a game today that you know what 1087 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 3: I mean? And like I never it's interesting because I 1088 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 3: didn't necessarily have that energy from my pops, you know, 1089 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 3: but he was he was president, you know, taught me 1090 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,359 Speaker 3: about spirituality and religion and all of that. But I 1091 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 3: never thought I'd be like the coach dad, because sports 1092 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 3: wasn't my my thing necessarily. But to see, you know, 1093 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 3: all of the the values and how it's just even 1094 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 3: just making making my kids like better people, just an 1095 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 3: understanding discipline and you don't even have to implement it, 1096 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 3: you know. I mean, like once and you just follow 1097 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 3: their passion. And it's like, so, man, just that alone, 1098 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 3: I'll be more interested in that than anything that has 1099 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 3: to do with work a career because I'm like one, 1100 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 3: because you know, a psychology degree. I'm like, I'm watching 1101 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,439 Speaker 3: their brains develop on and passion off of what they 1102 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 3: want and the people that they're becoming, and I'm just 1103 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 3: trying to support that. So I'm fascinated to understand what 1104 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 3: like a five year old can digest in terms of 1105 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 3: an eleven year old, or how they putting this together 1106 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 3: because they way more brilliant than we ever work. And 1107 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 3: just like whether it's the access to the technology and stuff, 1108 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 3: but it's so fascinating man that I learned stuff from 1109 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 3: my children every day from all the ages. I'm just like, wow, 1110 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 3: I would you know, because I'm deep into it. Like, 1111 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 3: you know, one of my kids, he's six years old 1112 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 3: in the second grade reading that eighth grade level. But 1113 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,399 Speaker 3: it's like we developed and that's credit to his mom. 1114 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 3: Like but like I and you know, she getting her 1115 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 3: PhD in psychology right now. So we really study the 1116 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,879 Speaker 3: brain and how the neual transmitters clicking fire off at 1117 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,879 Speaker 3: certain age century ages and developmental processes that when kids 1118 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 3: start to recognize language, and so it's that type of 1119 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 3: stuff to where I'm on that so heavy that every 1120 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 3: day I'm learning something about And then you know, even 1121 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 3: when you think about like the like Freud's process of 1122 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 3: how we deal with therapy, they always take us back 1123 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 3: to our childhood. So as I'm examining my own shit 1124 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 3: and trying to be a better person through therapy, I'm 1125 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 3: watching memories that I had when I was five and 1126 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 3: six that might have shaped who I am now. And 1127 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,399 Speaker 3: I got a five or six year old, Oh, let 1128 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 3: me make sure I don't do that. Let me or 1129 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 3: if I did make this mistake, how do I correct 1130 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 3: it now so he don't make the same mistakes as 1131 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 3: I did, or she doesn't get put in a position. 1132 00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 3: So it's crazy, man like fatherhood has shown me so 1133 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 3: much growth and really it's become my life passion. 1134 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 2: What's the thought process behind the names with your kids? 1135 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 3: Because that's part of it. There's so much in the name, 1136 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,839 Speaker 3: and it's so much and speaking things into existing. It's 1137 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:29,240 Speaker 3: the power of words, and it's it's it's it's funny. 1138 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 3: That's that's why they call it spelling because it's like 1139 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 3: we cast spells with our words.
