<v Speaker 1>to be acting susposure. Okay, okay, real, real quick question.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>How different are those influencer checks when you got three

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand followers and then when you got a few

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>millions hours? Oh it's a big difference. Most definitely. We're

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>talking from uh fittee how to knowledge checked? Uh? You

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>know what type of check I can't explode on that

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>type of check. But I don't know what you just

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>know it's it's I gonna say it's big. I'm gonna

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>say it's a blessing, that's all. It's totally a different

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>You're able to not take as many opportunities if that

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>makes it because you know, you know, every opportunity for

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So I'm thinking at that

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that leverage. Now you know what I'm saying, you can say,

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the biggest blessing right there? Can you

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>take us back to like that first Viba moment, like

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>what may even made you know, start picking up your

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>camera and you know, tuning into the social media world. Well,

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I started back in two thousand twelve. Man, I started

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>on Vine. You know what I'm saying. I had a

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>friend Namer shop Funnel, who introduced me to this, to this, uh,

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to that social media app. You know what I'm saying.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was the kid growing up, you know

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, the funny guy and I you know,

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>but I played sports at first, you know what I'm saying.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So I was that guy. You know your people always

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>tell me, man, Man, if you don't make it to

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, you don't make it to you know what

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, playing college bag, I think you should do comedy,

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I didn't never take it seriously because

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I really thought I was gonna make it to the NFL.

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. Um, long story short, you know,

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>came here came you know. I graduated from kylogn with

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Georgia University, got a sociology degree. Um. The same friend

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that told me to to start uh doing the two

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand twelve you know what I'm saying. He heard that

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>football didn't work out for me. He was like, man,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>I think you should go ahead and start taking your

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>acting in your comedy seriously. And so that's when I

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>got into you know, I started doing it in two

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand and fifteen and not jumped on Instagram. That's where

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Instagram started to do the fifteen second videos, you know,

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>because fifty you know, Instagram wasn't always the one minute

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it a GTV videos, it was just the fifteen second video.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.040

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>into this acting class with Dwayne Boy. I started taking

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.840

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>into what the people were saying I was when I

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was a child, you know what I'm saying. I really

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.600

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.000

<v Speaker 1>is special cloth Alert all right, welcome back to the

0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>ball Or show Boy. I felt like this is I

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>feel I feel like this is a documentary of them

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>here real quick, coming back from Africa. You know you

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>was doing the viral videos and doing all the content creating.

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>When did you get the get up that courage to

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>actually take it to the actual comedy stage, Because I

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>see you do a lot of stand up and I

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>know that's a lot of a lot different than just

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>creating content. You know, virtually, when did you actually build

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that confidence up to take it to the comedy stage. Well,

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I'm not gonna lie a minute. It

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>took me some time because you know, at first, I

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, I'm just focused on acting. Man, I'm

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>not doing those stand up you know, and I'm built

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the families. I'm good. But I had to you know,

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like taking this seriously. Man, you gotta really become a student.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>And if I call people like Eddie Murphy my favorite comedian,

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Martin Lawrence my favorite comedian, you know, all those grades,

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>so I have to really tap in and see, Okay,

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>what did they do to become this this great legend.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, all those main um actors and comedians, they

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>touched this age, you know what I'm saying. That's what

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>made them that that commercial actor, that commercial comedian, that

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 1>worldwide comedian that you know what I'm saying, that touched

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>people that probably don't even have a social media app,

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, but they hear that, Okay,

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this comedian is coming to my city. Let me go

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>see who he is. So now you've building up a

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>fan base of people that don't even know you across

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the world. You know what I'm saying. There's a lot

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>of people over seas and different countries that don't know

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>who you is. But when you come to their country,

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh wow, this guy is funny. So you know,

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it just takes you to a whole another level. And

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like to get to me personally, I feel

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>like to get those major Hollywood roles, you know, those

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>major Hollywood TV shows, you have to be respect if

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to be respected as a real comedian and

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and get those opportunities. I feel like you have to

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>touch that stage. I have a question. You said, when

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 1>you go overstaff, people don't know who you are, but

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't know who the hell Polay? When out who

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>po is? Are We ever gonna find out who Polis is?

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Or is really the for the franchise boys? Is that really?

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that for the French aise board, But no,

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not him. That's not him. Yeah, and everybody

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>asked it too, they gotta be him, But now that

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that's gotta be Oh no, my Polate different, man, I

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>mean apartment he camera shot, you know, um, but maybe

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.959
<v Speaker 1>one day, Jessie, Man, I'm not gonna lie to you,

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>like I think some of my favorite skuts that you

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>do are definitely like an apartment. When you're round, you

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>know your cul your dudes, because for me, they are

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the realist. Like literally, I can envision somebody I know

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>being every damn body in the video, Like the body language,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the demeanor, like all of it is now vary. I've

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>been saying that supporting boy that is so funny to me.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm assuming that some of these skits are like,

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, inspired by real life, you know, hanging out

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>with your boys and stuff. So now that you're Dessi Banks,

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like Jessie Dessi Banks Banks, and you're getting some money

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and you got these all new relationships, how is life

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>different from when you're hanging out at the Potmanster, when

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you're hanging out with Hollywood people. Now it's I feel

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like now it's it's it's more of a structured thing. Now,

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>actually know what you want, you know what I'm saying.

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And when you have these millions of millions of people following,

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>when you gotta have some kind of plan, you know

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So that's why I said, I'm thankful

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that I know what I want, you know what I'm saying.

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Where I'm at right now, I know I want to

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>be a actor. I know I want to be a

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>big stand up comedian. I know I want to be

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.959
<v Speaker 1>a part of you know, different major things. You know

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying that that Hollywood you know give me.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.959
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's a lot of different steps I had

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to take, like getting the agent, uh you know, at

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the right team around me to help me get these

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>major opportunities. You know. It's just you know, it's things

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. Um, look at these rich folks would be like, damn,

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>y'all born. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna get bored, but it's

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good board. No, you know, they may

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>be born to them, but it's it's actually really safer

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to you if that makes you know, right, well, speaking

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of safety, Um, you know, going back, you know, you

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>did your comedy used on the ground real heavy, and

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>now you're a new father. How has that been um

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>for you up to this point because I know it's

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>like I know, it's probably a little bit more serious now,

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>especially you know, being a new father and all that.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Can you explain this new life? Oh, it's it's it's

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a major blessing. And now I have a major

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>why why I do everything? Now? You know what I'm saying,

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 1>that's it's for my family now, you know, it's it's

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>for my son. You know. Every time I make ap

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>video or makeup or be on the stage or a

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>book a movie, is is it always the oldest in

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>my family, you know what I'm saying. So, I mean,

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Hey, that's what That's what it's about. You know.

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to become the new generation of my family. Man,

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Nobody in my family have ever been on this type

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of you know what I'm saying level when they come

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to you know, this type of fame or you know,

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever the people call it. You know what I'm saying.

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>But I want to just show them that, hey, man,

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>we can do it. We could do it too, because

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're come from the generation it's go to work,

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and and that's it. You know, they

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>don't really believe this stuff until it actually happens and

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>they actually see it, you know what I'm saying. So

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>like it took my mom like time man, to like say,

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>like people always saying, you're trying to send your funny

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>my damn sounding, no damn funny, you know what I'm saying.

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>But when she actually when she actually came to a show,

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the first show show, I think she came to. You know,

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>she came to my line of show, it was cool.

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>But when she came to like my out of town show.

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I was in Birmingham, Alabama, and she saw those people

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd, and that's when it like it was like,

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>oh damn, my baby is doing something. You know when

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm when I come from You know what I'm saying

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that that's a major blessing, you know what I'm saying.

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of people don't do stuff. You know

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Blackness is what I'm doing. So that's

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>another reason why I gotta kind of like serious, you

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>know what, I gotta take it serious, and I gotta

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>really stay focused on it, you know what I'm saying,

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Because it's like you want to get one shot, you

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. That's a fact, you know what

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. You the be Sammes, the DC Young Flies, y'all.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Y'all remind me kind of like back in the nineties

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>where you know, the grind of being a comedian was

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>so heavy, and then they became like our superstars, like

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>our Jamie Foxes, you know what I'm saying, And um

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that that's what you know, where we are right now

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in our generation. That's what you guys remind me of.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And I just want to commend you guys for just

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>sticking with it, just changing the game, because this is

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a whole, this whole different playing field, you know, where

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you can come up off of social media and you

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>already have the people. You don't have to go out

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, try to get the people just

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>by doing one movie or two when you got them

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>locked in and your personal accounts on your social media.

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So man, I just want to just give it up

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to you and just say, you know, I appreciate the

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>grind and and taking it to the next level for

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>our generation because y'all will be like the next Jamie Foxes,

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that Eddie Murphy's like you're saying, you know, of our time.

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, now I'm not an old heads tend to

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of I don't want to say ship on you know,

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the young ends, but they look at you know, how

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>we're able to get money and like manipulate and utilize

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>social media. Do you ever feel like some of the

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>old heads like don't necessarily respect your path because they

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like you don't have to grind as hard as

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>them or grind in the same way. Uh most definitely,

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I felt the tension would have been around, you know,

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 1>come overheard, come and say and stout they feel, you know,

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>social media comedians are you know what I'm saying. But

<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, hey man, things change.

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:12.479
<v Speaker 1>And also, hey, they always said, okay, when they do

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>social media, they ain't doing stand up. Okay, so when

<v Speaker 1>and read it and we're gonna get everybody's gonna chime in, Okay,

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a rory, I funked up bad. My lady went through

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.439
<v Speaker 1>my phone and somehow hacked my phone. She's able to

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>see all my texas coming to my phone. She's able

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to access my photos and everything. Bro w t F

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>what the fun? I changed my eye Cloud password and

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 1>all I'm toast finished? But what do I do to

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>prevent her from access? And my ship stressed? Well, let's

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>sen here player. Uh, I don't know what to tell

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.479
<v Speaker 1>you about this one right here? Maybe you shouldn't have

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>been doing some crazy ship in the first damn place. Okay,

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the first thing. The second thing is, uh, if

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do what you do, I guess the player

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of the player, don't get caught the fella you get

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>not caught. She went through your ship and it's all

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 1>on her iPad. She probably got it all on her iPad,

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 1>on her laptop. I'm at all she needed was your password. Dog.

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>So my personal advice to use you probably need to

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 1>change your entire eye cloud or just throw the phone

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>in the river somewhere, just get rid of get a

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>new service, do you I could make Yeah, just make

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.239
<v Speaker 1>your eye cloud. I'm just letting you all through it

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>right now. She probably seen that you wrote this to

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>me now and she knows the whole thing. That's it.

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Yeah, it's over. You can hang

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.400
<v Speaker 1>it up. But she hasn't seen everything. She didn't thought

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.679
<v Speaker 1>about it in the past. Over the months and weeks,

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it came to life, all that stuff that you know

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>she spoke. They say this tongue is powering wrong in

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the old relationship or old problems, and saw this. You're

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the same person that you say it wasn't. I can't

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 1>believe you. I hate you. You did kill like you said,

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.400

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>saw anything crazy. He's just saying that she has access

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>to it. Hacked his phone. You know that that that

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.960
