Speaker 2: as far as hip hop, but entrepreneur game as well.

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,720

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: But you know, a lot of people from the West

Speaker 5: in the hip hop game for thirty five years. That's crazy.

57
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: I was born in eighty four. He came out in

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: eighty six. Yeah, so that's crazy. The long Jemmy is

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: Like yeah.

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: Short, is it too short? Too short?

63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: And like iced tea, you know, but you.

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 6: Know, I came out, My actual first project came out

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty eight.

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: It was music on the shelves and everything.

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 6: I haven't rapping since I heard sugar Hill Brand Gang

68
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 6: when I was you know, in nineteen seventy nine. I

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 6: was eleven years old. Everybody was kids back then, you know,

70
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 6: for my age group. But anyway, you could just say

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: I start. My first official album came out in nineteen

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: eighty eight, so that's thirty three years.

73
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: It's still a long damn time and lifetime. But I

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: mean I was rapping at college in eighties, in eighty six.

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: That's where you got eighty six from Okay, talent shows

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 6: and stuff like that, you know, in college at ground

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: State University.

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, So let's get into this. Let's get

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: into this. We we always love to talk from a

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: different perspective. Most people they give interviews, and if they're

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: entertainment or their sports, it's always about their career as

82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: far as the musician or their career as an athlete.

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: But I feel like, you know, people have way more

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: to offer than just you know, what meets the eye.

85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: And e forty to a perfect example this as far

86
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: as being an entrepreneur. So we'll talk about all the

87
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: different things that he has going on. But first and foremost,

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: I want to ask you because you're known as like

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: a pioneer in this entrepreneur space. Now it's cool to

90
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: be entrepreneur hip hop, but it wasn't always cool to

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 2: be an entrepreneur hip hop. And you guys, Independent, I believe,

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. Like even with Sick with

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: It records like y'all like kind of pioneered that selling

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: out the Trump vibe. And I think even when Master

95
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: P went to California and that kind of really inspired.

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: Him to really you know what I'm saying. You can

97
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: see the similarity.

98
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what let's take it back to the beginning stages.

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: What made you go to independent route and how did

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: that look in the late eighties early nineties.

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 6: Well, you know, being in the Bay Area, we kind

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 6: of built for that kind of stuff. You know, as

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 6: a teenager, you know, you know, I had a clothing

104
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 6: store man, you know, on Solonno Avenue in Millersville, in Vale.

105
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: California, and I knew I was on my way.

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 4: To be an entrepreneur then, you know.

107
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 6: And you know with music, when we you know, we

108
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 6: actually had to you know, we ain't had no choice, bro,

109
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 6: We didn't have the opportunities that at a lot of

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 6: other rappers, especially New York rappers.

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: Bro, like New York rappers, that's where it's from.

112
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 6: So you know, they had a little easier, no disrespect,

113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 6: just like we just I'm from a small city, so

114
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 6: I had it.

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: We had it kind of harder than any city in the.

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: Bay Area we from. I'm from Vallejll, California.

117
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: Not Oakland, not San Francisco, not Richmond, Layhell, you know

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 6: what I mean. But we vlailed rock with all soils.

119
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: But anyway, you know, it was by force, not choice.

120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: Man.

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: You know, if I had.

122
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: Opportunities other rappers had back then, maybe I would have

123
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 6: did it, you know. But then again, I was always

124
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: a businessman, and my uncle Saint Charles taught me, well

125
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, So I always if it

126
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 6: made sense. If it didn't make good business sense, it

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 6: don't make sense at all. So that's what I was

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 6: always told, you know what I mean. So we did

129
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: it the right way man. You know, started off selling

130
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 6: the tapes out the trunk of the car on consignment.

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: You know, I'm sure y'all heard the story before of me.

132
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 6: And then you know, with my uncle Saint Charles, you know,

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 6: having this big book like an encyclopedia, full of addresses

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: that he just put together slowly but surely, day after day,

135
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 6: months after months and put it together. And it was

136
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 6: every retailer that dealt with hip hop music in the nation.

137
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 6: And he would send out a one sheet along with

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 6: some CDs and a cassette or whatever at the time

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 6: and say, hey, if you like this, you know what

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 6: I'm saying, go.

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: Ahead and order from this.

142
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 6: You had a barcode of our albums on there and

143
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: have like a detailed how would you say this, like

144
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 6: a bio of everything that we had going and where

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: we were from and all this and uh. And he

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 6: put it together like the weather man and so you

147
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 6: know us with the great music we had, you know,

148
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 6: because you know, all the soils was rocking with us

149
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 6: because we were speaking.

150
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: Everything we were speaking, they was living.

151
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, So curve, we were just

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: the curve commentators you know that actually was in it.

153
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: You feel me not not no fake shit, you know.

154
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: So that's how.

155
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 7: I'm unfolded in the late eighties obviously for the hip

156
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 7: hop area that this is a different, different type of

157
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 7: sound Laos obviously a lot different from other parts of California.

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200

Speaker 6: About that story one on a whole nother note, but

220
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 6: it we I had. I was in the at least

221
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 6: for five years. I went to Texas, you know what

222
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: I'm saying, and got and got the contracts done and everything.

223
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 6: I was locked in, like, had the plans already built

224
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 6: out everything, you know what I'm saying for for wingstock.

225
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: For wingstopager Flatburger was up and running for three years

226
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: along me and my business partner on that was my man,

227
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: the lake Chester Mclockton. Okay, yeah, and then so you

228
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: had a fat Burger and then you was gonna get

229
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: a wingstop and then the recession came and then they

230
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: just pulled the funding as far as like bank bank financing, but.

231
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: Now the bank financial At that time, you know, it

232
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 6: wasn't about the money. It was just I had spent

233
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: like six hundred thousand dollars on my own cash money

234
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 6: on wing on Fatburger, and so you know, instead of

235
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 6: I had that on the next round. When I was

236
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 6: getting the wings, I was like, man, let me try

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 6: to get along.

238
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: It was the wrong time. It was during the recession.

239
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 6: It was giving loans no matter how good your credit was,

240
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 6: no matter what you had, no matter what.

241
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 4: And I was like, I couldn't get the loan.

242
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 6: So I just I just I just backed up and

243
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 6: just brought myself out of the lease, the five year lease,

244
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 6: and just had to pay a few dollars and to

245
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 6: get out of it. You know, it was it was money.

246
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 6: It was money spent that I didn't gain no profit from.

247
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: But it's okay, you know, cause I you know, I

248
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 6: got bounced back abilities.

249
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: You know.

250
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: I also had also had a club, you know, out

251
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: there in San Jose.

252
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: It was called the Ambassador's Lounge.

253
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,960

Speaker 7: Burger and the Wings South potential.

261
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: After you said.

262
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: Energy drink, oh youre talking about forty water. So I

Speaker 3: did that with my man Kobe. Kobe. Kobe got in me.

264
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 6: So first of all, before that, when I had my cloth,

265
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 6: when I have my club, the the Ambassador's Lounge, I

266
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 6: was working on like a hypnotic h kind of duplicate.

267
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 6: It was called it was gonna be called Cloud nine,

268
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 6: but that fell through that we didn't I didn't get

269
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 6: that going because I didn't have all the avenues, you know, licens.

270
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 4: It was a lot of things I didn't know. I

271
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: wasn't seasoned like I am now.

272
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 6: And then uh, Kobe had got in me because he

273
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 6: already had high fee Hyphie energy drink popping during during

274
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,679

Speaker 2: want to I want to sit down with you.

277
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 6: He sat down with me and he showed me the

278
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 6: artwork to forty water, which is a kind of like

279
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 6: a vitamin water at the time, and we and we

280
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 6: did that, we made a few dollars and uh, you

281
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 6: know that kind of you know went its way, you

282
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, because we was getting kind of

283
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: like I ain't even lie, it was kind of getting

284
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 6: kicked off the shelves by other company, you know, ship

285
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 6: like that happens, you know, your shelf space. They're like, man,

286
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 6: they're giving us too much competition. We're gonna move them

287
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 6: off the way, you know what I'm saying, Like that happened.

288
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 6: So but I can't just blame it on that. It's

289
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 6: just that went away. That's okay. I didn't have full

290
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 6: control of that, you know, I think Kobe for you know,

291
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,679

00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: Uh, Gallo makes a wine called Colorassi, big jug of wine.

Speaker 6: Rhine and she would have the Burgundy. Uh and and

333
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,560

Speaker 6: I'm bringing a drug with me.

339
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,000

Speaker 7: Some high power.

350
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: I would ask why, And I say, right, now at

351
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: this moment, I won't this. You feel me. I haven't drunk,

352
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: I haven't had drunk. I haven't drunk.

353
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 6: Carlo Rossi and I loved them because they had a

354
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 6: big influence, you know, Gallo. But I got my own

355
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: wine now, so you know I haven't drunk. And since

356
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 6: I made my own wine, which was twenty thirteen, I

357
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: got Earl Stephens selections. You know what I'm saying. I'll

358
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: be on this right here. You feel what I'm saying.

359
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 6: This is not you know Earl Stevens selections. You know

360
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 6: function red blend.

361
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: So I think that's brilliant. Man.

362
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 7: A couple of things you did. Obviously, you branded it

363
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 7: and you named it after yourself. Well you're Pep, the

364
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 7: world is you as he forty.

365
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 9: They didn't know Earl seeds and probably some people still

366
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 9: don't know what el seeds right?

367
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Why you specifically named it after that?

368
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 7: And number two, you went straight to online was selling

369
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 7: it before you even hit shows.

370
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: So what was the playing behind that?

371
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: Well, you know, straight to consumer is like the best

372
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: thing right now, Like you know, you're cutting out the ason.

373
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: It's like it's beautiful, you know, and you know it's

374
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: good to have your stuff in the retail stores and all.

375
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 6: That's fine, that's that's better too, But stretches, I mean,

376
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 6: you're cutting out all the hard costs, all that stuff,

377
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 6: you know, when you go straight to consumers. So I

378
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 6: started off like that and the demand got really big.

379
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 6: It got really big. First of all, I forgot tell

380
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 6: you I named wyan Earl Stevens because I didn't want

381
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 6: to name a wine E forty. This just don't sound

382
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 6: right for a wine, you know what I'm saying. I figure,

383
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 6: you know, you got names out there. People name they,

384
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: you know, their wines after their last name or some

385
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 6: of the family members and stuff like that. So I

386
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 6: was like, let me call it Earl Stevens. You know,

387
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 6: that's a square ass name, you know what I'm saying.

388
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 6: I'm a hip square even though I'm gamed up. But

389
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 6: Earl Stevens sound you know, that sounds real, you know,

390
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: kind of luxurious. Earl Stevens.

391
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: You feel me.

392
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 6: So that's why I did. That's why I did that.

393
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: But uh, getting back to uh, you know, selling it online.

394
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 6: The uh did it online and it just starts flying,

395
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 6: like flying, flying, flying, to the point where the de

396
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 6: man got so big with all retailers was accent. How

00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: You know, shipping.

407
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: Some states don't accept.

408
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: Shipping, you know, shipping wine and then liquor, you know

409
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So that's how I went man. And

410
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 6: so the demand got so big where I had to

411
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 6: put it in the retail stores. I had to I

412
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 6: had to get a distributor and send it out.

413
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: So what is the process of actually having a wine company? Like,

414
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: because it's like wine, like you got to crush the

415
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: grapes and all that. So it's like do you just

416
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: go to Napolo and say, okay, I want you know,

417
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 2: I'll take you three whole freights of wine.

418
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: They like how they do it?

419
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: Like, is it like a wholesaler that's wine and just

420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: sells it to different companies and then they just label it.

421
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 6: We got tanks man, we got tanks. They don't do

422
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 6: the stepping on wine with your feet no more.

423
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: A newer process. But you know, like I said, you

424
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 2: got to go sit. I went to go sit with them.

425
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: You know.

426
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: Of course you have to get your license and stuff

427
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: like that. That's another thing.

428
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 6: You know, your first first start off with my California license.

429
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 6: You know, that's the first thing. Everybody that sells adult beverages.

430
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: Really, no matter even if it's a dope beverage with

431
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 3: whatever you is, you want to tap into California first.

432
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 3: So I have to take care of that first.

433
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: After that, I went from state to state to state,

434
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,480

Speaker 3: So how did you can act with them? That's for me.

511
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: So so basically I was a I was with a

00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 6: at the ambassador's lounge in San Jose. And so you know,

520
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: when you're dealing with clubs, you know a lot of

521
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 6: bartend you know a lot of liquor companies.

522
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 3: So this liquor company, Landy, was like, hey, we need

523
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: to we need.

524

Speaker 6: United States because they were just in France, you know

526
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 6: what I'm saying.

527
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: So and so we need you know, we need a

528
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,280

00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 6: And he was my Manvanessa was like, you know we

00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 6: need I got eat forty and they hooked me up.

531
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 6: So they came down. We had a meeting and then

532
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: they was like, can you get Snoop? So I called Snoop,

533
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: put Snoop in motion with it, me and Snoop snoop

534
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 6: and rocket for years. You know, you gotta realize this,

535
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 6: like two thousand and two, two thousand and three, two

536
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 6: thousand and four, somewhere around there, you know what I'm saying,

537
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 6: Like many moons ago, you know. So that's when I

538
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 6: had my club. And then that's when Landy came. They

539
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 6: came around two thousand. They came around two thousand, hey,

540
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 6: something like that. Years later. Right, that's how I go.

541
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 6: I'm rewinding everything. So I got what Snoop Snooker came in.

542
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 6: We became brand ambassadors.

543
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: They didn't work social media like they should have, you know,

544
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: like they should have been able to do it.

545
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 6: And social media wasn't that big. They didn't have Instagram

546
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 6: back then. I don't think they had just got it in.

547
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 6: It was a few things. So anyway, they that didn't

548
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 6: work out. So what I did was when I did

549
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 6: my wine. My man Mike, he used to work for them.

550
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 6: He was like, I got a wine, got I got

551
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 6: a spot in Napa that would love to you could do,

552
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: build your wine from the ground up, all yours whatever.

553
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: Woof the wo. We put it together.

554
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 6: So he went from working at Landy to working at

555
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 6: this winery, you know what I'm saying.

556
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: So then we went from there to uh, when I said.

557
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 4: When I was selling it online. Remember I told you

558
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: that the demand got so big I had to hit

559
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 4: the retailers.

560
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 6: So in order for me to hit the retailer, I said,

561
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 6: let me have a meeting with my man, Steve Harton

562
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 6: over at Southern Gladis of wine Spears. So Steve, he

563
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 6: brought me in and I knew him from Landy, from

564
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 6: Landy Kneyac.

565
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: See that's what that's one thing about when you're brand ambassador.

566
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm mad at none of these cats

567
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: is brand ambassadors. You can't be mad at them. They

568
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 2: getting their feet wet, They analyzing the game.

569
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. That's what I did.

570
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 2: I sat back, you know what I mean. I was

571
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: a student of the game, and I soaked up the

572
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: game like a beach town, you know what I'm saying.

573
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: And I and I stayed with my connection. I told

574
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 2: Steve years before I was, before I got my own stuff.

575
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 2: I said, I'm gonna be back to holler at you man,

576
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,560

00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: six years.

893
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: Ago about down the line, nigga you old to the

894
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: to the new rappers.

895
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: Nigga, you feel what I'm saying, like it just go

896
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: like that, you know, So stop saying don't say that.

897
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 4: Don't say that because nigga, You're gonna be ancient one day.

898
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: Nigga.

899
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: But see if you can see if you can you know,

900
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 4: have that longevity. That's the thing.

901
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: Now, I feel like we're like the only culture that

902
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: looks down or old. But it's like it's a blessing

903
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: to become elder, Like being an elder is actually a

904
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: blessing and to grow old as a blessing. And like

905
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: we always referenced that. But that's a huge line that

906
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 2: she Gluke said, You're gonna be older a lot longer

907
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: than you're gonna be younger.

908
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: That's just the fact.

909
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: So it's like even with hip hop music, you know

910
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: a lot of times we devalue the legends and the

911
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 2: people that come before because it's like, oh, they're old.

912
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: Like how does that devalue the music? That's like saying

913
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: Diana Ross, No, not even even R and B, like jazz,

914
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 2: every every other genre of music is still celebrated.

915
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?

916
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like it's starting to change now, But

917
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: like Na's winning the Grammy. Shout out to Escort, like

918
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, that's dope to see

919
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: him win a Grammy after all these years he should

920
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: have been one one.

921
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: But get about that. How do you feel about that?

922
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 6: Seasoned veterans are getting more money than ever, getting more popular.

923
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm probably bigger than I ever been in these days.

924
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 6: And then I'm older now, you know, I mean, I'm

925
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 6: you know, like I said, I'm a half a century

926
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. Plus you did, and so

927
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: you know, I think that now that that that world

928
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 6: old was hanging around for a while, Like when I

929
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 6: turned forty, they're like, oh he oh, I didn't think

930
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 6: I was that. People thought I wasn't I was gonna

931
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 6: stop after that. But it's like, ain't no limit to

932
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,359

00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 3: I was choosed.

1161
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:00,840

00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: You know, so I imagine the people that seen me

00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: several times sit right next.

1164
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 4: To the Warriors bench.

1165
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: Now me what you can bring up a good point

1166
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: that I never really thought about before. But it's a

1167
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: great marketing tool because even Chamelionaire, you know, when people

1168
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 2: saw him courtside at that finals game and it was

1169
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 2: like the tickets is like twenty thousand dollars. It was crazy,

1170
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: and they like it was a joke of like yo,

1171
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 2: his last hit was ten years ago. But then it

1172
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: wasn't a joke anymore because now it started to come

1173
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 2: out that he's been an Angel investor and he's invested

1174
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: in all these different companies, and then ever since then

1175
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 2: that kind of cemented him as like in the culture,

1176
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, a go to person as far

1177
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 2: as like angel investing and all that. But that probably

1178
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: would have never came out because he's real quiet. It

1179
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: would have never really came out unless he was actually

1180
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 2: at that game.

1181
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 3: That one game that brought.

1182
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 4: Up to the game I brought to the game. We

1183
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 4: see when you when.

1184
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 6: You a lot of times when you buy tickets, you

1185
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 6: got to buy twos and threes, you understand me. So

1186
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 6: you know, if it's a Houston am I say going

1187
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 6: to get those two tickets, i'mnaly out there.

1188
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 2: He'll buy them, and then I just pay him something

1189
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 2: that I put in as a bank account. I'll just

1190
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 2: give him, give him to him right there, check or whatever.

1191
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying right then and there, and

1192
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 6: I do the same when he said I'm gonna come

1193
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 6: out there, going to give me to see.

1194
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 3: Now I get in and then here reimburse me.

1195
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: That's how you gotta do. You can't just go buy

1196
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 2: one individual seats. That's very rare, especially to sit where

1197
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: you want to sit court side. Then understand what I'm saying,

1198
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: So he he was with you, that he was with.

1199
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 3: You, Yeah, all the games when we was together. Yeah,

1200
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 3: change the game. So we gotta have we gotta have course,

1201
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 3: that's what I'm thinking, Like, we gotta be sitting the

1202
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 3: courtside because not only.

1203
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 7: Is it ad to, but it's a networking too, because

1204
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 7: I said, you bumping shoulders with billionaires and millionaires and

1205
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 7: the team will treats you like you part of the team.

1206
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 2: I see everybody running over to you, especially if you're

1207
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 2: in these cities like San Francisco, yeah, or Miami or

1208
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 2: New York or you know like l A, Atlanta, Like

1209
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff going on and a lot

1210
00:53:58,360 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 2: of movies and shakers in that in that.

1211
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 3: Realm su stamp sustep you know what? That what I think?

1212
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: Did it? It?

1213
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 7: Actually I felt like after I saw a millionaire there,

1214
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 7: then I felt like tech became a thing in the NBA.

1215
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: And so now it turned me.

1216
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 7: On to the knowledge that Andre Engadala had and it

1217
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 7: was like, wait, this guy's digging the text space and

1218
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 7: he's in the Warriors and then Steph got into the

1219
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 7: text space and I was like, oh, okay, just from

1220
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 7: seeing you guys.

1221
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 3: There at the game, So that's dope.

1222
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 7: So my question is, is there a criteria that you

1223
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 7: have when you when you're looking for new businesses, new

1224
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 7: startups to invest in.

1225
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 3: Will you got it?

1226
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 2: First of all, the main thing is it Cam taught

1227
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 2: me this a long time ago.

1228
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 4: Make sure that there's.

1229
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 6: Some reptical people that's already in the investment, some people

1230
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 6: that most likely have some experience in being in the

1231
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 6: tech world, whether they're you know, starting it up, being

1234
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 6: saying that you're getting into, or you know, just it

1235
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 6: just has to be an idea, uh, something that has

00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: enough to have, you know, that type of access where

1344
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 2: it's like a lot of artists, entertainers. I remember Floyd

1347
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 2: for me to hang around a billionaire and put him

1348
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 2: put me on his jet. I want to know how

1349
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 2: did you get the jet? You can't bring me around

1350
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: just as a token, you know what I'm saying, Entertainer,

1351
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 2: that's like just my friend. Now, you got to actually

1352
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: educate me, because if not, what am I here?

1353
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 3: Like? Why why do we have a relationship?

1354
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 4: What you got to ask? You? You're supposed to ask.

1355
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 6: Questions when you're around greatness and when you're around billionaires,

1356
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 6: And however you want to say it. You know what

1357
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 6: I say, it's because you have to be a student

1358
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 6: of a gang. And a lot of times they don't

1359
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 6: even have to teach you. You could just learn just

1360
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 6: by being a student of a game, observing a lot

1361
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 6: of in terms are millionaires because our billionaires because they

1362
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 6: were student of the they were students of the gang.

1363
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 6: They they kicked back and soaked up game like a

1364
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 6: beach tab. And that's what you're supposed to do.

1365
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 4: Do you guys have a.

1366
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 2: Name for your syndicate or is it just like I

1367
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: just do the prime partners partners?

1368
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 3: I think I did see that. I like partners. I

1369
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 3: like that.

1370
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this being from the Bay Area,

1371
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: we introduced somebody shout the Meal Bran. He's an actor

1372
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 2: from Oakland. He was saying as far as like the

1373
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 2: gentrification that's going on Cifical, he's from an Oakland but

1374
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: like and he had a theory that like a lot

1375
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 2: of the sports teams that's moving out of Oakland, that's

1376
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: kind of like done intentionally to kind of like disrupt

1377
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 2: the city, kind of bring them more round down a

1378
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 2: little bit and then make way for gentifications. So what

1379
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: is your thoughts because I would watching it, you know,

1380
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 2: I watch a lot of these documentaries and stuff like that,

1381
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 2: and I see that, you know, the Bay Area is

1382
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: becoming heavily gentified, especially Oakland.

1383
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 3: Because it's right next door, which is the highest.

1384
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 2: The highest real estate market in the country, even even

1385
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: higher than Manhattan, and it's it's a very small area.

1386
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: So what is your thoughts on gentrification especially in the

1387
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Bay Area? And what is your thoughts on sports teams

1388
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: leaving the band? I know you're a huge sports fan,

1389
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: so what is what's your thoughts on that? So you know, uh,

1390
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, everybody won't you know.

1391
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 4: Now we have.

1392
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 2: Chase the Chase Center now in Frisco Warriors play, which

1393
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,920

1631
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 6: It's always a method for my madness when I'm cooking

1632
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. I'm just really pretty much

1633
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 6: branding myself, showing people getting them subliminally, like when you

1634
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 6: see a McDonald's sign.

1635
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 3: Checked this out. My little niece many years ago, she

1636
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 3: was with my mama. I'm in the car, me and

1637
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 3: Mom's we in the car. We had it somewhere and

1638
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 3: my niece's in the back seat. She ain't number one

1639
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 3: years old. She can't she can barely talk. She see

1640
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 3: the McDonald's sign. She like, eat eat, eat, eat, And.

1641
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Mom, I said, moms, what she talking about? She said,

1642
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 2: she see the McDonald She wants some French fries. She

1643
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 2: see the McDonald's sign. She just seen the logo. That's all.

1644
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 2: That's all she knew. She just knew was that's what

1645
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 2: she wanted to eat. So that's why I'm putting that

1646
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 2: that logo goon with the spoon on all.

1647
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 4: Every time I cook, you gonna see that goon with

1648
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 4: the spoon logo.

1649
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 6: Therefore, subliminally it's gonna be self subliminal in everybody's mind.

1650
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 6: So when they start seeing my products in these convenience stores,

1651
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 6: and when they see them in costcos and Walmarts and

1652
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 6: Sam's and Saved Ways and Alvason's and so on and

1653
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 6: so forth, they gonna say, that's forty ship.

1654
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:56,599
