00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, basically, whatever you got in the cabinet, I

12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: just combine all four ingredients together.

13
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: And what are the ingredients?

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: Sour cream, sauce. You could use tortilla chips like regular tortillas,

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: but today we're gonna use Doritos and shreded cheese.

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Oh do you usually use tortilla chips or you only

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: do the thrido cool.

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 4: Ranch honestly is whatever chips I can find, but like, yeah,

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: oh really, any chips.

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: Any chips, always chips.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Okay, have you ever done it with like Cheetos? M

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: I don't like Cheetos, not even the puffy one. Oh no,

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: you're tripping maybe, Okay, we're gonna have to judge this

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: dish hard, so before well, I guess while you Another

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to share with you guys is that

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Alicia said that she only usually does this dish in

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: the microwave yep, which is interesting because I would assume

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: the chips get hot.

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: They do, but you don't, like they're not in there

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: for a long time. It's probably like thirty seconds to

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: a minute, okay, just to milk the cheese.

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: And then today you're gonna take one for the team

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and cook it on the soap top.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: I am, okay, all.

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Right, so get into the cooking of the cheese so

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I can eat cheese.

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: Yes.

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: And then what was going on around the time when

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: you're making this dish?

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: Actually my mouth, I mean my unty. She taught me

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: how to make this. Like one day I called her.

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm hungry because it was never no

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: food at home. And then she was like asking me, like,

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: what's all in the house. And then she told me,

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: like literally to combine these four ingredients.

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: And how old were you at the time, Probably like nine?

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 4: And you know, I can only really cook in the

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: microwave or else I was gonna get in trouble.

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: So she was like walking around the house like, hey,

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: there's some chips here, there's some shredity, and she was like.

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Oh, combine all four.

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, now are you a cook

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: at home by nature?

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I am. Cooking is like my love language. Okay, okay,

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: Like if I cook for you, I love you.

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: When did you start getting into writing and producing?

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: So?

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: I started off with sketch comedy. Oh, we should get

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: our chips ready.

60
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, put a lot of cheese.

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: I should just cook, cook all the tea. Yeah.

62
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: But yeah, I started getting started with writing and producing.

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: I was very young when I started, like doing comedy sketches.

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: I was like eleven.

65
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: I started on Facebook, like I would hack into my

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 4: not necessarily hack, but my mom was logged into her

67
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: Facebook account on the laptop, so I would log in

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: there and I would just upload videos of myself to

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: her Facebook page. Of course I got in trouble. I'm

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: not supposed to be doing stuff like that. But after

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 4: that I just started. I kept going with like the

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: comedy sketches. Then I was like, I want to like

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: take it more serious. So last year I write, produced, directed,

74
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: and acted in and filmed my own short field and

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: then ever since then, I just keep like producing films.

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: But take it back to when you were you said eleven,

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: when you started, what inspired you to get into comedy?

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Even think of comedy sketches?

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: So my mom she would like always be playing like

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: Kevin Hart and stuff. I thought he was so funny.

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: Still to this day, I think he's very funny, and

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. It made me want to like kind

83
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: of like be like him because I would always see

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: him like on the TV. She would just replay the

85
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: comedy stuff back to back.

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: I used to watch this.

87
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: Is a commentary on YouTube Trey Melvin. I used to

88
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: also watch Delano Edwards, who else is one more other one?

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: T Pendell.

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: I used to watch all three of them on YouTube

91
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: and then I was like wow, like I wanted to

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: create content just like them because I thought their content

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: was so funny.

94
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: So it inspired me.

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: And they were short skits at the time.

96
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Okay, and then what was do you remember like one

97
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: of your first skits that actually did well?

98
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: It was actually a story time, It wasn't really a skit,

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: but it popped off my channel. I think it was

100
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 4: types of workers like I just I think I was

101
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: like seventeen and how did this git? Like types of workers?

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: It was just me like pretending to be a worker

103
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: and also playing the character as well.

104
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: So I played like, yeah, I notice you'll play different characters.

105
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: And while you're doing all this, what is your mom

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: saying about this passion that you're developing.

107
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: She wouldn't really say much, like she was just like

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: I was a kid. She was just like, oh, you know,

109
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: like she didn't really say much. But I did have

110
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: some people like telling me like.

111
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Oh, you need to stop. Like I don't know. I

00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: was a kid, so I don't know.

113
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: Some people was like saying stop because I used to

114
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: start like cussing in the skits as well. But then

115
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: it's like once they saw it was like working for me,

116
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,840

Speaker 2: I did, but at.

280
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: The time, I was nineteen, so everybody's like when I

281
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: went there, when I'm around people, I don't know, I'm

282
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: not thinking like, oh, this opportunity could change my life.

283
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm just shy, like because I'm nineteen. These people were like.

284
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: Way older to me, Like they have very big personalities.

285
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: Like if the auditions everybody was loud, it seemed like

286
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: they kind of knew each other as well. So I

287
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: was just sitting there like just very like shy and timid.

288
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 4: I didn't really say too much, and I feel like

289
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: I didn't show much of my personality. I didn't make it,

290
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: but well obviously, but yeah, I feel if I could

291
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: redo it, I would wish that they would hit me

292
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: up at an older age because I feel like that

293
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: I have the confidence now back then I didn't.

294
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: What was your following at the time when they hit

295
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,280

296
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: I think I was at two hundred k on on Instagram.

297
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: And then on YouTube. Now YouTube is where you make

298
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: most of your money.

299
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 4: But I wasn't popping on YouTube back then, so I

300
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 4: feel like they filed me on Instagram.

301
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,679

319
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: go home, I would be with my mom.

320
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: So all right, good, So you were good. So what

321
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: were your checks consistent? Like are they monthly or yeah?

322
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 4: Once a month. I was getting also paid from like promos.

323
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: People would pay me to like post their businesses on

324
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: my account.

325
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: What else? That's really it.

326
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: I did have jobs here and there. I was always

327
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: getting fired though, Like I worked at a hotel, but where.

328
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: Were you getting fired from? Like why, Yeah, I don't know.

329
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: You just weren't into it, You weren't passionate about it.

330
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

331
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: So you're continuing with your YouTube channel and your social

332
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: media right now, you have almost a million subscribers on YouTube,

333
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: which is a huge fee. Says you started your channel

334
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. What was like the hardest hiccup in

335
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: that journey? Were there hard like moments like even coming up?

336
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Did you feel the pressure to come up with content?

337
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of how I feel right now. So

338
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: at first, everything came to me naturally, like I would

339
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: just upload like once a month, which is not consistent

340
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: at all. Sometimes I'll go like three months without uploading,

341
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: but I would just I had my channel just for fun,

342
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: like I was creative, so I wanted to like showcase that,

343
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: and of course I want to followers too, or subscribers.

344
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: But it became hard.

345
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: Like when everybody wanted me to start posting work consistently,

346
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: because I wasn't used to it.

347
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: When you say everybody, like fans were reaching out like

348
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: when's your next post?

349
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like dang, like it's getting real.

350
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: So I have to post like once a week and

351
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: I just graduated college.

352
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: Like last May.

353
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: So when I was in school, I had work due,

354
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: but I know I had the post so I was like, dang,

355
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: like I have a lot too.

356
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: And then at this point, like how consistent are the checks?

357
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: I went just to once a month? Once a month,

358
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: but the size of the checks.

359
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: Are they go up and down? Like my biggest check

360
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: that I got one month was forty thousand.

361
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: Never seen forty Yeah.

362
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: What they happened?

363
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: Again?

364
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: You know?

365
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: That was one time.

366
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: I was like, but that was during that time I

367
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: was coming up.

368
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: So but was that during the pandemic.

369
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: It was in twenty twenty one.

370
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: So that's right after the pandemic. Oh my gosh. So

371
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: what did you do with the money?

372
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: I didn't do anything like big, I just kind of

373
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: kept it. Do you still have it?

374
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: Kind of?

375
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: Well? Did you? Yeah? Yeah?

376
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're you're managing your money. Now do you

377
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: have when you get checks like that? Like who was

378
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: the first person you called? And did you did you

379
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: know that check was a arriving and or does it

380
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: colme in the mail or did they send you an email?

381
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: How does it work?

382
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: So if you go in the app on the studio

383
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: app YouTube studio, it'll like tell you what you're getting

384
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: that month.

385
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: When I saw that, I was like what, Like that's crazy.

386
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: But I was also getting like like ten thousand a month,

387
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 4: so it didn't really like like effect.

388
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: Ten thousand a month.

389
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: It is really good money. And are you telling your family? Like, Yo,

390
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: this is how much money I'm making.

391
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: So that's the mistake I made.

392
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: I told my mom, like I made my first eleven

393
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 4: thousand in December of twenty twenty, and I was proud,

394
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: so I told my mom. She told the whole family,

395
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: like now everybody knows how much I make.

396
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, why is it like a not so good thing?

397
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 4: Because people will start asking you for stuff, Like if

398
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: you like make a lot of money, they'll start like,

399
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

400
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: It's like I don't know.

401
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: Like when you guys go out to you, they'd be

402
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 3: like you got the bill? You got it?

403
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: Like like I want to feel like like I don't know,

404
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: like when people buy stuff, like if I buy something

405
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: for somebody, it's because I care about them or like

406
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. I want to feel like somebody cares

407
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: about me too, Like that's one of my oh, my

408
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: love language, one of my love.

409
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: Language is like gift giving. Yeah, okay, so like.

410
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 4: When somebody buys me something, like I feel like, I

411
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 4: don't know, feel like they care, even though that could

412
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 4: not always be the case. But yeah, but yeah, so

413
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 4: I'm always having to buy people stuff. People expect me

414
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: to like pay for everything. So that's why I just say,

415
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: anybody they got money, keep it on.

416
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever have that conversation with your mom later?

417
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: So like if she were to listen to this interview,

418
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: she would be like, oh my gosh, I didn't know that.

419
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure she knows.

420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 4: I think I did tell her, Like it does bother

421
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: me when people ask me how much I make from like.

422
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: Oh really, are you uncomfortable saying it on the show?

423
00:18:59,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't care.

424
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but we just talked about it on the

425
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: show because there's like our show was like really created

426
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: for the underdog, and so we're trying to get them like,

427
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: don't quit even though.

428
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, don't quit, keep going. I have that channel

429

Speaker 4: since thirteen. Now I'm living off of my channel, So

430
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: I feel like anybody that was ten years ago so

431
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: well eleven now because it's swinging be ford, but keep going.

432
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: But it wasn't until like years intil you got your

433
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: first step, right, It wasn't like year one.

Speaker 1: Years, and no part of you was like during that

438
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: journey like maybe I should give up or maybe I

439
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: should pause this.

440
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: I loved it so much.

441
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: Really, Now, tell me about your concept process. Is it

00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: something and its sparks, Like, tell me what that process

444
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,800

Speaker 4: Yeah, everyday life, Like I'll see stuff I'd be like

446
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 4: I need to make a scit about this, or I'll

447
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: see something trending and I'm like, I gotta hop on

448
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: the bandwagon because that's how videos go.

449
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 3: You just gotta hop on what's trending, like when they're trending.

450
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I have this I don't know if you know him,

451
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: but James Andre Jefferson Junior.

452
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: He's such a long name. That is a long name,

453
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 3: but he's he's like.

454
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: He makes fun of like a lot of the celebrities

455
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: and trending. But I remember when he was getting into

456
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: social media. He had discovered that if you could strike

457
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: while the trending was happening like on topic, then your

458
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: stuff can trend with it. But the turnaround has got

459
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: to be like a lot of pressure.

460
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 4: Yeah it is, because it's like you gotta come up

461
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: with something quick, like how the whole Like, what's something

462
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 4: trending now? I re cauld say like like all the

463
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 4: submarine stuff going on, Like if somebody makes like a

464
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 4: review about how they feel, I feel like that's easier.

465
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: But if you make like you just hop on the bandwagon,

466
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: talk about what's going on like in the moment, like

467
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: even the Jaded Pinkett stuff, it was Yeah with Will Smith,

468
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 4: I hopped on the trend like I made a skit

469
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 4: like pretending I was hurt and I was getting interviewed.

470

00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 4: existed in twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two, But

477
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: I would make like parodies. But I get a lot

478
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: of backlash from black people because they're like, oh, slavery's

479
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: not a joke when they were.

480
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 2: Not even running with hereot you know.

481
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know, but that's something a lot

482
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: of people like, I guess. And then the online class

483
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 4: videos because in twenty twenty, those were like, that's trending

484
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: because like COVID and stuff, so a lot of people

485
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 4: were taking classes online. So I hopped on that, and

486
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: we're not necessarily hopped on that. I created that wave,

487
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: like the whole online classes parodies.

488
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then where did you learn how to edit?

489
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Are you editing your videos or are you having someone

490
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,760

494
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: shooting and all of that.

495
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,479

564
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: Why were you depressed? I was lonely.

Speaker 2: All right.

570
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,360

571
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: like nobody like back home, like really cared. I would

572
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 4: reach out to people, like telling them how I felt,

573
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 4: but people would like literally take me as a joke.

574
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: And I know, I like make funny videos and I

575
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: like do stuff to like shield my emotions, like I'll

576
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: be funny or something.

577
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

578
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: So when you were calling people saying what you were

579
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: going through, were they doing that like cliche like oh girl,

580
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: you're lucky, or it could be hard, it could be harder.

581
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: I used to hate that, like when people be like

582
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: the whole world in my life crashed going end, and

583
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: then they'd be like, it could be harder. There's kids

584
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: in another country, yeah you know, and you're like, I

585
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,440

Speaker 2: Yeah.

587
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: I feel like all I had was myself. That's why

588
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: I'm like so like independent because like I don't know,

589
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: that's why I do everything on my own, everything on

590
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: my own. Like I literally didn't have no help, like

591
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: physical help, like moving any of my stuff, Like I

592
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: hired movers, hire somebody to move my car, Like I

593
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: just had to get And you're.

594
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Like twenty two, I'm assuming at the time or yeah,

595
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: early twenties. Yeah, and you're doing this all on your home,

596
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: No mommy, daddy help at this point, You're just one

597
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent on your own.

598
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

599
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: But that's like what I wanted, because like I want

600
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: to be independent because I feel like I really feel

601
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 4: like nobody be caring about how I feel like I

602
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: genuinely feel like that.

603
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: I feel like independence comes from a lot of neglects.

604
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: It's almost like a survival spirit.

605
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: Whenever I see someone that's like ultra independent, I'm like

606
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: they went through some stuff, you know, like a lot.

607
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,240

00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: I did find some people, but the people out here are.

635
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 4: So weird, like they're like like when I first meet somebody,

636
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: I don't tell them, like what I do like initially

637
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: because people have ulterior motives.

638
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: But when I meet people, they like, if someone meets you,

639
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: what do you tell them?

640
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: I just talk to them like I just don't even

641
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 2: bring it up.

642
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the second question when whenever you

643
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: meet someone in LA, it's like, Hi, my name is

644
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: and they're.

645
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: Like, what do you do? Yes, that's so true.

646
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: The one thing I liked about the pandemic was it

647
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: was the first time people stopped asking what you do.

648
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 3: It's more like, how are you doing?

649
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

650
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: And that was like, I think the most beautiful thing

651
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: about the pandemic. It was also people going to people's

652
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: houses and just eating around the table, playing board games,

653
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: like doing stuff, not at a restaurant, you know, or

654
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: what have you.

655
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 3: I think there was.

656
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Something really beautiful in that space of we're all trapped

657
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: in a nightmare together. But I hate, I absolutely hate

658
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: that about LA, where it's like what do you do?

659
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: What do you do? What do you do? So?

660
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: But you moved here, you know, what do you do eric?

661
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: So when they ask you what do you do, what

662
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: do you say?

663
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: I tell them like, oh, I direct produce feeling gradual

664
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: comedy sketches.

665
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: But people are full of Yeah, people are full of shit.

666
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: So I feel like they probably.

667
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: Like, oh, just another one of those.

668
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: But I actually am like.

669
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're doing it like you're making money. You don't,

670
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: you're not working at Target. You're one hundred percent doing you.

671
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: So I feel like when they like first like people

672
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: will treat me like like I'm just like nobody, which

673
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 4: you know, it's fine treat me however, but well.

674
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: Because you look very young, yeah, so they're like they're

675
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: more like aspiring or what have you.

676
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: Did you watch the Tyler Perry documentary? No you didn't.

677
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: A lot of people keep telling me to watch it.

678
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

679
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, girl, I watched. I cried a

680
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: couple of times. I didn't even know his story. I

681
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: think he was homeless, right, Well, he did end up

682
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: with a little bit of homelessness, but he came from

683
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot of abuse, Like I did not know that.

684
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of interesting.

685
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: That's probably why he writes about what he writes.

686
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely that's good.

687
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: Well that's not good, but it's good that he like

688
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: shows that in movies like that, people can get through it.

689
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: Do you ever make fun of the characters in your

690
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: family or like play around with the characters in your

691
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: family or.

692
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: Develop characters from people in my family my friends.

693
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: No, I don't know where they come from.

694
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 4: I feel like I got like ten different personalities, so

695
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: just pick one play the character. Yeah, because like the

696
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 4: mother I play in my films, Like sometimes I play

697
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: like a mom that's not how my mom acts at all.

698
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: I don't know where that character stem from. But my

699
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: mom she's like very nice, very like quiet and reserved.

700
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 4: But the mom that I play like in my films

701
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 4: is very like, yeah, very loud, very like I don't know,

702
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: just crazy, and my mom is not like that at all.

703
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: So I don't know why I do that or like

704
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: where I got it from. But that's probably one of

705
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 4: my favorite characters. Like playing as the mom.

706
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: What is the day in the life of you now

707
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: that you're in la.

708
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 4: Get up, go to the gym, come home, shower, make

709
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: a video.

710
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: After that the rest is history.

711
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: When you say make a video, like just edit, Like

712
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: what's that process? Like a couple of hours?

713
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe like four hours max for YouTube video, make

714
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: the video, edit it, upload it the same day. Probably

715
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: gonna do that after the interview, really probably go home

716
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: and make a video and your money from YouTube? Do

717
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 4: you feel like it's sustainable or is it like the

718
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: entertainment business where it's like up down, up down, up down. Yeah,

719
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 4: I'd be up and down, like one month, go from

720
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: forty thousand that month to next month, I'm making three

721
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: thousand and five thousand and ten thousand back down to three.

722
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 4: Like it's up and down. But I saved enough like

723
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: before I moved here, just in case.

724
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: It like fluctuates.

725
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: And then do you put yourself on payroll like we

726
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: were talking about I think it was with Brandon Rogers

727
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: was the other another YouTuber. It's like when you have

728
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: your your money goes to a corporation or does it

729
00:31:53,800 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: go to you? I would go, okay, so yeah, traditionally

730
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: you would, you know, create a corporation and then maybe

731
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: get like an ADP and they'll cut your salary and

732
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: then you can kind of like live on a more

733
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: budget and then build cash flow in the business.

734
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. That's a lie. I don't know,

735
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: but I love to learn.

736
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we could talk after camera to like kind

737
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: of fix that. But I'm guessing right now, do you

738
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: put yourself on a strict budget? Like this is my

739
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: monthly and I don't go over or do you just

740
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: be like.

741
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: It's ten thousand dollar a month.

742
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: I just don't go crazy with spending, Like I'll just

743
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: spend my money like how I would like if I

744
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: make like five thousand, like that's like kind of I

745
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: don't do too much, like at all, I'm very cheap.

746
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: What advice would you give to someone that's trying to

747
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: get into the game.

748
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: Keep going and if the people are supporting you coming up,

749
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 4: make sure you lock in with them once you come up,

750
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: because yeah, all the people that like are around you

751
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: when you're coming up. Just know those people are loyal

752
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: and they like you for you, because when you get

753
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: like I feel like where I am, I'm not like

754
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, like I need a better heart of

755
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: discernments because some people just come into my life or

756
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: try to come into my life because of who I am.

757
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, if you're coming up, make sure the people

758
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 4: around you stay around them.

759
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: Don't make any new friends.

760
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell myself that my high school friends are

761
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: my It sounds terrible. I have plenty of friends, but

762
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: I always feel like my friends from high school are

763
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: my real friends. Like you know, the good, the bad,

764
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: the ugly. You know where I'm from, where I'm going,

765
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: you know everything about me. And if I don't talk

766
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: to you for a year, I know we could pick

767
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: up the phone and I'm not getting like you ain't

768
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: calling me and they're like clocking or whatever. You know. Yeah,

769
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: I went to New York recently. My girlfriend from high school.

770
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: She was like, here's my car, here's my car seat,

771
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: have fun like you know, like I got you type.

772
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: You know. It was like just very much like family,

773
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: and we don't talk every day. It's just like I'm

774
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: coming girls whatever, or if I'm going through a breakup.

775
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: I've had a girlfriend, like get on a plane, get

776
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of ice cream and candy, and like we

777
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: watched Pretty Woman and a bunch of just silly stuff

778
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: and all the way from New York. And I'm like,

779
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: you're a real friend. That guess a real friend and

780
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: those are rare. But how's dating in La? Do you

781
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: have you tried dating in La yet?

782
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 4: No?

783
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the trickery is La. Guys are different.

784
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: It was like kind of I think everyone in LA

785
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: is kind of opportunistic. But I would I think the

786
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: dangerous part of being in social media would be that

787
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: I think even bigger than being a celebrity.

788
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: Like if you're big on social media.

789
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: Everybody want to date you. Yeah, and you just want

790
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 4: some cloud. But who knows, maybe not, I don't know.

791
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't dated in la Okay, probably

792
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: not ever going to.

793
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: Are you single right now or you're not single because

794
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: you said you're not going to.

795
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: You're in a relationship.

796
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta say it. It's complicated.

797
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: It's complicated, complicated. It's never good. It's never good.

798
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

799
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: Like, see see if the relationship confuses you leave, Yeah.

800
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: I have my friends tell me all the time. They're like,

801
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: you're so good at spotting a red flag. There's like

802
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: there's nobody better that stop spotting a red flag than you.

803
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, you will spot the red flag. Ago.

804
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: Maybe that's just like a slowdown.

805
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a maybe maybe Like.

806
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 2: No, it's a red flag.

807
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: You gotta respect the red flag and put it in

808
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: its place.

809
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

810
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: And I think as a woman, it just boils down

811
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: to like it always bowls down to like women's like kryptonite,

812
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: which is like knowing your worth. That is I don't

813
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: know how we come up with our worth or knowing

814
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: our worth. I think that's just a woman's greatest challenge.

815
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: See, that's why I'm not dating in LA because I

816
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: know my worth.

817
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 3: You know you're worth, but you're in something complicated.

818
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like about your red flags. And there's a

819
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: lot of green flags as well, you know, but.

820
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 3: Red means stop. I don't know.

821
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: I just turned forty, so now I haven't turned forty yet,

822
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: gonna be forty soon, And I'm learning like at this point,

823
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: you just got to respect the red flag because the

824
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: deeper you go, the harderest to get out, you know.

825
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm just that's just me being totally honest. You know,

826
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: the more invested you are. And I also have this

827
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,479
Speaker 1: other philosophy when it comes to relationships, whoever invests more

828
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: loses the most.

829
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 2: That's true, Yes, especially if it's over Yeah.

830
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, whoever invests more, whoever. And that doesn't just

831
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: mean monetary wise, it means time wise. It just means like,

832
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: if the scale is not tipped evenly, I promise you

833
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: you will be the one that's hurt more in the end.

834
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: So it's a crazy way to look at it.

835
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: That's a good way actually, But that's why you ever

836
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: hear people say like you got to match the other

837
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: person's energy.

838
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you.

839
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: Gave this, I'll match that.

840
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: You know when I was young, outdated guy, but I'll

841
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: go all out, you know, just same.

842
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 4: That's how I am. I like to like spoil people.

843
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: I like to be spoiled too. But yeah, I feel

844
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: like I always give so much of myself and I

845
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: need to just protect my heart at this point, like

846
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 4: I need to give what I give to that person,

847
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 4: I need to give that to myself.

848
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: I'm learning that right now. And I'm old as heke.

849
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: Well you know I'm up there. I've been trying to

850
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: avoid the topic for a while.

851
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: No, you look very young though, thank you, thank you?

852
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: What else does do people just don't know about you.

853
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 4: I'm a very introverted person. I know sometimes I come

854
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 4: off as very like outgoing, which I am online sometimes

855
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: I am in person, but I have to be like

856
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 4: very very comfortable. Yeah, I'm just a very introverted person

857
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 4: and I'm always sad. And people are gonna be believing

858
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: me because I joke around a lot.

859
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: I heard comics or like or comedians and that line

860
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: of work. They're the most sad, which is crazy because

861
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: they bring the most joy.

862
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 4: It's because we have to go through things alone because

863
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 4: like I'm not sure, I can't speak for anybody else,

864
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: but I know with me, people don't take me serious

865
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 4: and I'm also supposed to be the person it makes

866
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 4: everybody else laugh. So it's like I don't even feel

867
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 4: comfortable coming to people sometimes I don't want to bring

868
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 4: them that energy. And then I don't know, I don't know.

869
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 4: We just I feel like we go through a lot

870
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 4: of stuff alone, like a lot of our emotions.

871
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it makes you stronger in there, it does.

872
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as you got that solid one

873
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: or two, I think you're good. And then do you

874
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: have mentors?

875
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: No? What? Yeah?

876
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: What you need to get something?

877
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't care how old you are, Like you could

878
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: be my age. I still look for mentors. I'm always

00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,319

Speaker 1: be my mentor in some areas you can, so yeah, okay.

887
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, I'm struggling with YouTube.

00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: I know my the girl that runs my YouTube, she

889
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: we can monetize now, she's always like monetized the channel.

890
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're gonna get five cents. You just still

891
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: menize it, That's what she says.

892
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: She's like, girl, I'm like, you you should. You don't

893
00:39:59,000 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: have to.

894
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 3: You know what it's we're mentor. We're going to mentor

895
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 3: each other.

896
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my goodness, I can't believe it.

897
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: And you have the ability to Yeah, we do. And

898
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: she's been on me like just fill out the paperwork.

899
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, for what you need to do?

900
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 4: It like your money could be growing. So there's a

901
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 4: threshold on YouTube. It's one hundred dollars. So after you

902
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 4: hit one hundred, they deposit whatever into your account. So

903
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: right now, like, look like all of your views, I

904
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 4: don't know, like add it up. If they make a hundred,

905
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure you're at one hundred dollars.

906
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: So you're like, I don't at one hundred.

907
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 3: But I didn't know that's how it works.

908
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,479
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe like if I hit like five

909
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers, then I would hit monetization. But if I

910
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: don't hit it, if is it only from that date

911
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: four that it accruise or they'd.

912
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: Look at the previous day.

913
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 4: It's from that date for that's why I said you

914
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 4: need to get Oh yeah, see okay, So like they're

915
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: not going to give you any money from like anything

916
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 4: before today if you monetize today.

917
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: So when they gave me the opportunity, that's when I

918
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to do it.

919
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: What did they tell you?

920
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 3: Probably a couple of months ago.

921
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: You should do it.

922
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like I missed out on that much.

923
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean you got a small little but I do.

924
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I would be very happy over one hundred dollars check

925
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: just because it's like that milestone of Like I remember

926
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: an interviewing like Country Wayne and he was talking about

927
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: his like he monetized the channel during the pandemic. It

928
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: was like get in like forty to one hundred thousand

929
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: per Yeah, how much did he say?

930
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah? He said he was getting like one hundred, two hundred,

931
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand. I was like, I was a lot.

932
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was like during the pandemic he monetized it. Wow,

933
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: could you imagine how much money you probably missed out on, yeah,

934
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: because I did not know that's.

935
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 2: How it works.

936
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah you should be my mental you

937
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: heard it here first.

938
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 4: I just send up comedy sometimes. But yeah, how's it going?

939
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 4: I don't do it anymore? Really, but my last show

940
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 4: was in November, November eighth, That was the last show

941
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: I did. It's good, but like I'm really focus on that. Really,

942
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 4: what made you get into stand up? My dad he

943
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 4: was a center comedian out here as well, but he moved.

944
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: Back to where Texas?

948
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 4: that's where he's from. And then my mom is from Missouri.

949
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 4: But they met in college. Such a sweet love story

950
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: like love and basketball?

951
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: No, for real?

952
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 3: Is it really like a love and basketball story?

00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 3: But are they still together?

956
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: No? Okay, okay, they should be.

957
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 3: Why because they're like best friends or something.

958
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 4: No, because they're my parents and they need to be

959
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 4: even though they're both dating other people.

960
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: I don't care.

961
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: Ah, that's so sweet but did you grow up in

962
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: two parent household?

963
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, they split two when you were two, right,

964
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: so it was.

965
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: Just me, my mom and my brother. Oh okay, okay, yeah,

966
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: all right. There was something else that literally, like I

967
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: was like, don't forget to.

968
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: Ask this, and then I forgot.

969
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: Was it something deep?

970
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 3: It was something diff deep too.

971
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: I need to be deeper. I think I got a little.

972
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. I noticed you do dot

973
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: meet and greets, don't you?

974
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 2: I did one?

975
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: You did one? How what made you do it? And

976
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: like what was the experience?

977
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 2: Like? What made me do it?

978
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: This girl I went to school with, she she moved

979
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: out there and she like does a lot of work

980
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 4: in Atlanta. So then she like set up this meet

981
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 4: and greet with this restaurant, so it'll bring people to

982
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: the restaurant and then bring people to meet me.

983
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 2: So it was like kind of a collaborative thing the experience.

984
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 4: So it was like in like a small country part

985
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 4: of Atlanta or Georgia. I thought it was in Atlanta,

986
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 4: but I was on it promoting like hey atl So

987
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 4: now a lot of people came, but it was still

988
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: good to have the experience.

989
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 3: Though, would you ever do that?

990
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: Again and probably in a different location. Yes, like Texas.

991
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 4: When I went to Texas this or last year. What

992
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 4: month was this? It was like September or October. It

993
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 4: was in October. I was getting stopped. I was gonna

994
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 4: stop the lot like I have a big fan in Texas, Dallas.

995
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I would do it there all right.

996
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, and then if you were to do it, would

997
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: you do stand up or would you just like talk

998
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: about your experiences as a YouTuber?

999
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 4: I would probably talk about, like I don't know my experiences.

1000
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 4: Have people come up because I have a few songs

1001
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 4: like on my channel with everybody knows cause it's like

1002
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 4: my ultrosongs, intro songs. I'll probably have them come up

1003
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: and see, like who could wrap it the best, do

1004
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 4: a giveaway, take pictures, stuff like that. I wouldn't do

1005
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 4: stand up though, because my fan base is younger. My

1006
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: stand up is like for adults.

1007
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh my gosh, well, where can we keep

1008
