27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: What are the five best cities for food?

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: Top five in order?

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: You can put them in order. If you like it,

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: you can just give me your top five.

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 6: My order personally, Yes, New Orleans number one, Houston is

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 6: number two, Okay, Chicago is number three.

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: Wow.

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: Uh, Toronto will be four right now. I will go Miami.

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 6: If I had the nigga where I would back, I

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 6: would go Miami for sure. But top three is solid.

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 6: My top three is New Orleans, Houston, and Chicago.

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: Solid.

41
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: No, No Atlanta, no New York.

42
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 6: So very specific reasons why I say that, right, Yeah,

43
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 6: so for those that don't know we're going. But we

44
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 6: go on food tour for people that look like us

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 6: and people who come from the background that we come from.

46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 6: So we specifically do it for people that can jump

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 6: on a plane that are foodies and just want to

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 6: go try food. So I don't do it in a

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 6: way where you can go call it the biggest influencer

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 6: in that city or the biggest celebrity and had them

51
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 6: show for you around and show you places. I do

52
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 6: it specifically for people that literally just want to go

53
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 6: try food. So we go to spots that are more

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 6: on the unknown level, places that only locals know about,

55
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 6: if you know, you know, kind of places that have

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 6: great food, great customer service, but can need the marketing.

57
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 6: But we also go to staples at the community to

58
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 6: show respect to each city that we go to. So

59
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 6: when I'm picking these places that are my top five,

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 6: is more on accessibility, like what's the easiest to jump

61
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: on the plane and just go get some great food?

62
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 6: And I feel like New York isn't in that top

63
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 6: five for me because the accessibility of to know the

64
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 6: spots is really hard to find great spots unless you're

65
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 6: from there, correct, And if you do meet somebody that's

66
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 6: from there, if y'all not super close, if you just

67
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 6: meeting this person for the first time, they more than

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: likely not gonna give you the spots that they go

69
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 6: to because one, they don't want the spots blown up,

70
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 6: so they don't want everybody there too.

71
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: They aren't a super welcoming group of people.

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: They want you to be a tourist and that's it.

73
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 6: But once you start venturing off of that and you

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 6: start deeping it, digging into like local spots and spots

75
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 6: they've been going to for years, and spots they have

76
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 6: nostalgia attached to.

77
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: They don't want no parts of it.

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: What's the best city to get pizza.

79
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: In New York? Got that?

80
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

81
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: New York got that.

82
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 6: That was one of the best things that we had

83
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 6: when he was there was piecea I'm from Detroit, so

84
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 6: I like a deep dish, big hardy. I tried, but

85
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: I'm see, but that's because you're from Atlanta.

86
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, understood.

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm from South Georgia.

88
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: Georgia, understand.

89
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I see like when I get that deep dish,

90
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm eating a piece of cake.

91
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: Use somebody.

92
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 6: Yeah see now if you if you don't like a

93
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: super thick then I would say, but personally, it's time

94
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: to Detroit. So I like a deep dish. I like

95
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 6: I like the dough to be super high quality and

96
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 6: to be the main focus.

97
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: What about what's the five most underrated cities?

98
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: Well, you put me on us spot.

99
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 6: Let's go there and Shannon top five most underrated. I

100
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 6: will go Detroit. I feel like not a lot of

101
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 6: people know that Detroit has a food scene. Seattle, I

102
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 6: feel like it's one of those places. Again, if you know,

103
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 6: you know, if you're a true food you know, Seattle

104
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 6: has a great food city. Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge is

105
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 6: a place that it's very specific now like it's it's

106
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 6: black people, black people, country food. So if you are

107
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: into country food, I'm talking about hogmall neck boy. Oh

108
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 6: yeah yeah, your mother, everything smothering and cover. Then Baton

109
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 6: Ruge is definitely an underknown spot. Arizona, Oh, Arizona, that's

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 6: perfect Arizona. I feel like Arizona's underrated. And the reason

111
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 6: I say that is because you get a lot of

112
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 6: healthy spots, but you also get very authentic from my

113
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 6: authentic southwestern Southwestern food. Even they have a really big

114
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 6: native population, you get native food, and I've never been

115
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 6: to a place that has native food. Milwaukee got a

116
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 6: good food scene that's that's pretty underrated. Wow, Oh Dallas.

117
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: Dallas got a food scene that's definitely underrated. Really for

118
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 6: sure it's here or missed because it's a place that

119
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 6: like doesn't have much of a big food culture other

120
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: than barbecue Southern Texas roots, but as far as stepping

121
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 6: into other cuisines and other ethnicities, they don't really do

122
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: it that much so. But the barbecue alone carries some

123
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 6: of the best barb ever had in my life.

124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: What about the worst where you go, like, man, y'all,

125
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: they'd be hyping this up and it ain't even.

126
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: Like that food is Yeah, so you know.

127
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: You start talking about it.

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: Experience absolutely so for me.

129
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 6: Atlanta and I'm so happy you asking this. Atlanta had

130
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 6: really good food. Atlanta had a good food scene. It's

131
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: just you have to be somebody in order to get food.

132
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: Do you have the name drop when you go to

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: Atlanta and get food?

134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Nah? Because I really don't go the places that I

135
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: go to. They kind of know me.

136
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: So when I like, I call and they're gonna take

137
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: care of me, but I ain't.

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 6: But do you feel like if they didn't know Shannon Sharp?

139
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 6: And that's exactly why I say we do the food

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 6: to every people that really want to jump on the

141
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 6: plane and just go get food. If we go to

142
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 6: a place specifically because I'm Keith Lee and we go

143
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 6: eat at the best restaurant and people want to jump

144
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 6: on the plane and go try that, they're not going

145
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 6: to be going to be able to get it, not

146
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 6: only the service, They're not gonna be able to get

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 6: the food. They gonna go in there and they, oh,

148
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 6: we ain't got no bookings for the rest of the day,

149
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 6: just that third. But let Shannon Sharp walk in. We

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 6: got six tables as wide open. We about to clean

151
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: them right now. You get the fresh food. So that's

152
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 6: one of the main caleids of why we do so.

153
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: It's not so much the food, it's the service, absolutely

154
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: in order to get the food. Yeah, are you surprised

155
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: you got so much blowback for when you critique Atlanta

156
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: and you let them know that it's not so much

157
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: the food, it's the service. If you're not somebody you're not,

158
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: you're not getting in there. They're always crowded, they're always booked,

159
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: and they only treat people that of influence.

160
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 6: Was I surprised, No, Because it's like ripping a band

161
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 6: aid off of something that people didn't know was a scar.

162
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: Right.

163
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 6: If you from there and you was born and raised

164
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: in that environment, you don't know no better. Do you

165
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 6: think that that's what the food scene is and you

166
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 6: think that's what culture is, right, because that's part of

167
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 6: Atlanta's culture. I just came from a perspective of somebody

168
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 6: who wasn't from there and somebody was experiencing it for

169
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 6: the first time, the death threats and whatnot.

170
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Was I surprised about that. Yeah, that was the first

171
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: time I ever experienced something like that. People taking food

172
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: that areas, Oh it's bad, it's real.

173
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 6: Even in DC, we got a death threat from a

174
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 6: guy who like, who's a rapper out there, and he

175
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 6: talking about next time he come. Instead of reviewing food,

176
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 6: we review his life or something like that.

177
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 3: We just eating food.

178
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 6: Man.

179
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: It's like, my opinion isn't the end allb all.

180
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 6: I understand that everybody has a different opinion on food,

181
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 6: and I always say that, but I get how the

182
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 6: internet gets too, and I don't blame them because people

183
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 6: are prideful and where they come from, and people have

184
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: a lot of love and nostalgia in the city that

185
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 6: they come from, and they feel personally attacked. And I

186
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: want to make put it on the record right now

187
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 6: that when we go for the food tour is not

188
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 6: to find what the best food is. It's specifically to

189
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 6: highlight the restaurants that have great food, gret customer service,

190
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 6: but can need marketing and don't get the marketing specifically

191
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 6: because either they in a food desert to where a

192
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: lot of people don't have access to the food that

193
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 6: they that they would need or want. Or two it's

194
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 6: a location based place. Or three it's a place where

195
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 6: the owners have put so much into the restaurant itself

196
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: that they don't have the time or the money to market.

197
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: Because a lot of people who do food reviews.

198
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: That's why I don't send myself with food influencer or

199
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: a food creator any of that, because I don't charge

200
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 6: restaurants anything. When I first started, people were telling me

201
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 6: I could charge anywhere from five thousand to ten thousand

202
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 6: per video for a restaurant, and I know people that

203
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 6: do that that charge more more than way more than that,

204
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 6: But I specifically do it for their restaurants, and I

205
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 6: don't charge them a dime. So that's what the food

206
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 6: Tworried about is about. It's about marketing these places, and

207
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: it's about going out and trying food that my mom

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 6: can go in the next day and get the same

209
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 6: experience that we got. Love like old school.

210
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Atlanta had good brunch. Yeah Yeah, I Atlanta had

211
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: good betters.

212
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 6: Yeah getting in there, And I don't want that to

213
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 6: be mistaken at all.

214
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: Atlanta has Yeah.

215
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: You're not saying they don't have good food anything you

216
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: just said the customer service.

217
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 6: I really like the people in Atlanta. I love how

218
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: many of us is out there. I love the wealth

219
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 6: that's out there and the things that that those kids

220
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 6: that are from there are exposed to. When it comes

221
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 6: to black wealth, when it comes to black excellence, when

222
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 6: it comes to a community that's built around us for us,

223
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: I never want that to be lost in translation when

224
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 6: it comes to the mecca of what we do and

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 6: the highlight of us is Atlanta. But at the same time,

226
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 6: if you ain't got a certain status or a certain

227
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 6: million followers, you better cook it home.

228
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Or eat. Yeah. Do you try crazy foods? Have you

229
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,520

Speaker 1: So you try raccoon, possum, Yeah, I'll try once.

237
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: What I like it? I don't know.

238
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: You eat?

239
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: But how do you eat it?

00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: Bill peppers on your celery.

00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 6: You put it in there, You're a different kind of country.

245
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie to you and say I won't

246
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 6: because again, I'm a foodie, so I get very interested

247
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 6: in stuff. I'm the type to my family be getting

248
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 6: mad at me all the time. I'm the type to

249
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 6: walk into a random establishment and be like, Oh, we

250
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 6: was in Seattle and we walked by and we saw

251
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 6: ducks hanging out the window. We walked in, got a duck.

252
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 6: He cut the head off right in front of us,

253
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: and we went the car and ate it. That was

254
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 6: my first time ever doing something like that, but I'll

255
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 6: do it like duck.

256
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: It was really this is good.

257
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: It depends on where you get it from. A lot

258
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: of times it.

259
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: Can be gamey, it could be a little too overpowering

260
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 6: and chewy and type. But the one we just had

261
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 6: was super crispy. It was flavorful, it was fresh, and

262
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 6: it was juicy. Like I said, they took it right

263
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: off the rack and cut it in front of us.

264
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: You like quaal, I like quail.

265
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: I like quail.

266
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we just had a quail egg. The scotch

267
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 6: from when we is in Seattle. It was like a

268
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 6: Scotch egg it was wrapped and it was fried, but

269
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 6: it was a quail egg that was wrapped in baking

270
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: and then fried again on the outside.

271
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: It was good. Yeah, but you need to eat like

272
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: seven of them we get full.

273
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the fact that like this I eat, Shannon. Yeah,

274
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 6: I'm an eating man.

275
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I saw you ate the sushi worm.

276
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: I knew that was coming. So when we were in Seattle,

277
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: we went to a place.

278
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 6: It was a sushi spot. A bunch of people were recommended.

279
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 6: It was a stable of the community, and it was

280
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 6: out the door when we went. So we went just

281
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 6: to show respect to the city and go to a

282
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: place that was a staple.

283
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: I did the full review, did the full video. I

284
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: posted it two days later.

285
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 6: Somebody tagged me in a clip of them slowing it

286
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 6: down and on one of the Giri's there was a

287
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 6: what seemed to be something moving. I can't confirm it

288
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 6: or not what it was. I'm not gonna say it's

289
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 6: a worm of parasite or anything. It was something that

290
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 6: looked like it was moving, and I ate it. I

291
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 6: had no idea what it was. I had no idea

292
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 6: there was anything moving into somebody tagging in that video,

293
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 6: that whole thing spiraled into something else.

294
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Allegedly.

295
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 6: I can't confirm it deny that this is specifically from

296
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: the restaurant. But somebody was hospitalized a day after we left,

297
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 6: and again I can't confirm it not it was from

298
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 6: that restaurant. And in my mind, if anybody did go

299
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 6: to a restaurant that we did go to and they

300
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: were sick, and anyway, I came and spoke spoke up

301
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 6: about it because I wanted to send my heart my

302
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 6: support to that person.

303
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: Right, I love sushi.

304
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean I've never had it. I just I just

305
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: like my food cook. I just can't. You don't like none, wrong,

306
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I can.

307
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 6: I was about to say something, I'm leaving alone.

308
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm a I know you go and see.

309
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I again, I'm a foodie.

310
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 6: I can't have shellfish, but I explore with everything else

311
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: other than showfish.

312
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: So the restaurant got closed down.

313
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: Right from allegedly from what I hear, they did put

314
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 6: a statement out and say that it was closed, but

315
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 6: I believe it was closed because they.

316
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: Are looking internally.

317
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 6: The owners have reached out to me on a bunch

318
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 6: of different occasions, and I get the impression that they

319
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 6: are just fine tuning things and getting things together, because

320
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 6: I don't get the impression that they were malicious any

321
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 6: any fashion, or that they were neglectful.

322
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: I believe it just was a isolated I feel.

323
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: Like it was an unfortunate incident that was put on

324
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: the internet, and I feel like anybody could have put

325
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 6: on the internet and it would have blew up in

326
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 6: the same manner. It just so happened to be that

327
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 6: we were the ones that that posted it.

328
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: But I truly believe that, not only in my I even.

329
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 6: Gave the sushi that had the alleged whatever it was

330
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 6: moving on it, I gave it like an eight point five,

331
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 6: and that was the highest thing out of the entire

332
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 6: thing I've been entire what I was eating, because of

333
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 6: my opinion, it was delicious. I just believe that once

334
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 6: they take a step back and really like see what

335
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 6: it was that could have been an issue, that they'll

336
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 6: be back better than other. And I'm not opposed of

337
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 6: going back. And that's where I.

338
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Was going out, as would you be open to going

339
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: back and offering another review.

340
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'm not opposed going back if I'm welcomed, if

341
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: it's not a review, if it's just having a conversation.

342
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: If it's being back on opening day and bringing my

343
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 6: family and showing my support and showing that I mean

344
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 6: it when I say I understand it. As a business,

345
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 6: it's a lot harder than just food itself. And I

346
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: had nothing but respect and love for them and what

347
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 6: they do.

348
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Heez. I went shopping yesterday for you.

350
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: the food is really really good and you want to

351
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,320

Speaker 6: to even survive that there. The rent was one thousand dollars.

398
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 6: We moved in, We had both our babies here, The

Speaker 6: online happen here. Me even starting on TikTok because I

401
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 6: always had bad social anxiety, so I never posted. I

402
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: never man, four years ago, you could never get me

Speaker 2: help with your stuttering, just help with your social anxiety,

412

413
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: have to do interviews and so you could be more.

414
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: Fluid in your conversation. How did the TikTok?

415
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: What made you think, say, you know what, let me

416
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: get behind the camera, let me just talk, build up

417
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: some curves to do this, and then once I get

418
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: in front of people, I should be able to do it.

419
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 6: Shitting right here in new interviews, I was sitting there,

420
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 6: I had like a little table and I was sitting

421
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 6: to interviews, and I would be so bad it would

422
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 6: literally mess up my entire week, like from the point

423
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 6: where like the second I got to think about doing

424
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 6: an interview, to three or four days before the interview

425
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 6: to the actual interview two a week after interview, it

426
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 6: literally would just like ruin me. I'd be sweating and

427
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 6: I'd be nervous, I'd be clammy. So during the pandemic,

428
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 6: we ain't really had not enough to do, like we

429
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 6: Like I said, she was pregnant, So my brother fought

430
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 6: in Brazil, and the second he far from in Brazil.

431
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 6: The pandemic started while I was out there, so she

432
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: called me. And so they don't really they didn't really

433
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: have the same news feed that they have out here.

434
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: So when my wife called me, she like everybody taking

435
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: stuff off the shelves, they panic in, they grabbing stuff,

436
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: and they wearing masks and that's this when it first started,

437
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 6: so you know, people wearing has masks, suits and all top.

438
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: So she called me and she was panicking, and I'm like, Okay,

439
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 6: as long as I can get back, then I'd be safe.

440
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: But I was worried about getting back and or so

441
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 6: by the time I got back, I was like, whatever

442
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 6: we need to do to get this issue like under

443
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 6: wraps even a little bit, I'm gonna start doing and TikTok.

444
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 6: At that point, it was either like you was made

445
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 6: fun of for having it or you people was like, bro,

446
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 6: you missing out because this is where everybody were in

447
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 6: the house, So this is where everybody at. So I

448
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 6: think it's one of those things where God don't make

449
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: no mistakes. And my wife was telling me to do it,

450
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 6: so I was like, I might as well try it.

451
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: Seeing where you are now, seeing where you were then,

452
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: what's going through your bad emotions?

453
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: Bro?

454
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: Like I'm trying not to cry.

455
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: I see you.

456
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's surreal because I remember vividly having conversations about

457
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 6: the exact moment that we're in right now, coming back

458
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 6: and rejoicing and having like that like made it moment

459
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: and the fact that it's here. I don't even think

460
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 6: it's I think it's impossible to put into words. I

461
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 6: just can't wait for my kids to be able to

462
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: watch this because I got a four year old and

463
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 6: two year old, and both of them are born in

464
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 6: his house. So I just can't wait for them to

465
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 6: watch this and let them know their daddy made it.

466
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned the MLA aspect of it, So how did

467
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: sports help you get over your anxiety? Because you're around

468
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: people all the time. I mean, it's kind of hard

469
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: to play sports and not have a conversation, not be

470
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: having interaction.

471
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: So did it help or hurt you play in sports?

472
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: I would say it kind of hurt me because the

473
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 6: sports that I was playing, So I wrestled all from

474
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 6: middle school to high school to my first year in

475
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 6: college and even my first year of college. The only

476
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 6: reason I didn't wrestle all the way through because I

477
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 6: couldn't afford it, so I got kicked out. But I

478
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 6: feel like the reason it hurt is because wrestling and

479
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 6: NMA guys are very awkward anyway, and a lot of

480
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 6: them go through a lot of eating disorders, they go

481
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 6: through a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression. But

482
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: it's not a thing that spoke of in the sport.

483
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 6: It's not a lot of people that come on the

484
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 6: forefront and say it because is we may fighters, we

485
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 6: like the modern day gladiators. We're supposed to be the

486
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 6: tough guys. Uh So I think a lot of it

487
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 6: is hitting. So for me, once I got into the

488
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 6: real world and I got into a space where I

489
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 6: wasn't around nothing but fighters or wrestlers, it made me

490
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 6: feel like the outcast. I always kind of felt like

491
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 6: the outcasts, even in wrestling, but even more so when

492
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 6: I was in normal society because you had it's a

493
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 6: different level you got to turn off when you fighting.

494
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: You Yeah, sure, it's a.

495
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: Different level you got you locked in.

496
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 6: So it's it's something that that I feel like a

497
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 6: lot of people don't have to be able to switch

498
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 6: on and switch off. So for me, it was hard

499
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 6: to switch that off once I got into like a

500
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 6: space where people looked at me more for doing cooking

501
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 6: videos or more for doing food creating videos, and they looked.

502
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: At me for fighting.

503
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 6: Because, as you know, as a professional athlete, you think

504
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 6: that's all you gonna do for the rest of your life.

505
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 6: So it was such a drastic change for me that

506
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 6: I feel like fighting heard it hurt a little bit

507
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 6: because again, I didn't have that social interaction with people.

508
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 6: All of social interaction with people I had was people

509
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 6: that got kicked in the head for a living. So

510
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 6: it was like, they talk different, they act different, they

511
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 6: have a different mindset. So once I got into this

512
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: space and I'm like, you don't worry about getting punched

513
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 6: the face.

514
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: But did it because like as you mentioned, other fighters,

515
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: they're kind of socially awkward, kind of like yourself. They

516
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: have anxiety, they don't really care to be speaking on camera.

517
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: Did it give you a certain level of comfort hanging

518
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: around people that were kind of just like you.

519
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: You guys had something.

520
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 6: In common subconsciously, Yeah, because, like I said, you don't

521
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: really know what you don't know. I didn't know because

522
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 6: I don't really consider myself socially awkward. I consider myself

523
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: a person who willfully exit from conversations, exit from social interactions.

524
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 6: So again, it's something that you don't even realize until

525
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 6: you get around other people and you like, wait, y'all

526
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 6: just be sitting here talking to people like you be mingling, right,

527
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 6: I never did that like that working, I don't do that.

528
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: Are you naturally an introverted person?

529
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

530
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought what I'm saying, I think a lot

531
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 6: of it is trauma based. I had a very traumatic childhood.

532
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 6: My parents did the best that they could because my

533
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: mom and dad were always super involved.

534
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: Uh.

535
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 6: I've just always been kind of like a quiet state

536
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 6: of myself kind of person. And then when I didn't

537
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 6: and I tried to step out of that and tried

538
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 6: to be like the life of the party and like

539
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 6: the extrovert that will go out party drink smoke, I

540
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 6: always ended up in like I was always the one

541
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 6: that was targeted for some reason, and I genuinely believe

542
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: now with retrospect, it was because God was telling me

543
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: that that's not for you, and you're trying to fit

544
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 6: into something that don't belong for you. So I'm gonna

545
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 6: make you an example, and I'm gonna stick you on

546
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 6: the forefront. And I felt like that was always an

547
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 6: example for me.

548
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: Being socially awkward as a child, having a speech impediment.

549
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: I had one of them. I still have a list

550
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: by talking with it.

551
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: No, you think I got a speech a better where

552
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: that comes from? It seemed like a stuttering problem, correct

553
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: kind of Ye're gonna see. It wasn't necessarily stuttering. It

554
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: was more or less of like trying to I guess

555
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: it's uttering, got it.

556
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: Got it?

557
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: But the kids, the kids make fun of you and

558
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: make you go deeper, deeper into the into yourself, in deeper, deeper, introverted.

559
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: M No.

560
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: I was, if anything, I was a bully. I did't

561
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: a lie to you.

562
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 6: I was a I can guess, oh, I was an

563
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: asshole bro growing up as a kid. It wouldn't know

564
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 6: me getting bullied. It was more than opposite because I

565
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 6: was always real small. So when I graduated high school,

566
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 6: I was like fort eleven, maybe like one hundred and

567
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 6: who level exactly.

568
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: It was one of those things it was I got.

569
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 6: I had a lower man got complex, like a little

570
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 6: man syndrome. So it was like, the last thing you

571
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 6: was about to do is mess with me. And again,

572
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 6: I wrestled afrough high school, so I had that age

573
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: over a lot of people. But for the most part,

574
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 6: I always was fighting. I was always arguing. I always

575
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 6: had a problem with authority. So for me, I never again,

576
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 6: I never really realized that I was this introvert or

577
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 6: this super quiet person until I got into spaces where

578
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 6: I would be around other extroverts, or I got into

579
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 6: spaces where, like I said, it was networking events, or

580
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 6: like people looked at me something other than a fighter.

581
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 6: So my older brother thought he was in the UFC

582
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 6: by time when graduated high school, so I always was

583
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 6: in his shadow. So for me, it was easy to

584
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 6: be like, I'm just Kevin Lee's brother, Like I don't

585
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 6: really have to step out of that. So when all

586
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 6: of this started taking off and like I was Keith Lee,

587
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 6: that's when everything like opened up for me and I

588
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 6: really saw like, oh, you really got an issue, Like

589
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 6: you really can't do interviews, You really can't talk to

590
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: another human being for more than five minutes without shot

591
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 6: sweating bullets, and like literally like I want to shut

592
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 6: off and running your room for the rest of the day.

593
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 6: That didn't really start until, like I said, like twenty nineteen,

594
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 6: twenty twenty.

595
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: But as a kid, yeah, you couldn't tell me nothing.

596
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 2: So how was it a family time? Because you said,

597
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: I mean, did you realize that how is your family?

598
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: Are they very talkative that you know you guys sit

599
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: around the television and carry on conversation to watch watch

600
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: a program together. So how was it growing up with

601
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: your brother and what you said? He's already in the UFC,

602
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: so he's probably what five six years older.

603
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: Than four years?

604
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 6: So I got a brother that's four years older than me,

605
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 6: brother that's four years younger than me, and then I

606
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 6: got as sister that's seven years older than me.

607
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so how your childhood? How was your you know,

608
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: you and your brothers did you get along? Did you fight?

609
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: No?

610
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: So he definitely didn't get along.

611
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: But for me, I like I was always I felt

612
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 6: like the black sheep. But I feel like me and

613
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 6: my sister argue about that a lot because she felt

614
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 6: like she was a black sheep. But so my sister,

615
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 6: she had god parents, so growing up she was always

616
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 6: with her godparents. And then it was me and my

617
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: older brother. My younger brother. My older brother was a

618
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 6: very smart kid, the kid who everybody like modeled after

619
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 6: and everybody was like praising at all times. He had

620
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 6: always had like a four point of gray point average.

621
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 6: He was in sports.

622
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

623
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 6: He was light skinned, curly hair, pretty boy, way lighter

624
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: than me. Yeah, yeah, right, typical B two K like

625
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 6: super curly.

626
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

627
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 6: When I was younger, I was always the darkest out

628
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 6: of everybody in my family. Uh so, and I like

629
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 6: I was small. The main thing about me as a kid,

630
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 6: I always either hurt myself or I always like ended

631
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 6: up in a situation to where I was the center

632
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 6: of attention but for the wrong reason self hurt yourself.

633
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 6: Or I was clumsy. So my head was the same

634
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 6: time as it is now. I was just forty eleven.

635
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: Wow, So it's like.

636
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: My neck wasn't strong enough to carry right. I got

637
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: scars all back here.

638
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 6: I got the scar on my forehead you see here,

639
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 6: See I got scars all in here. When I say

640
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 6: like that was a normal thing for us to have

641
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 6: a family function and us to end up an emergency

642
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 6: room because Keith Thon bust his head open, I had staples.

643
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 6: That's happened to me at least, I would say six

644
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 6: seven different times, seven different occasions. And for me, I said,

645
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 6: childhood wise, it was more or less of like I

646
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 6: was always trying to figure out where I belonged and

647
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 6: why I belonged where I belonged, and I never could

648
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: really like figure it out. So I was always longing

649
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 6: for attention. So I always had a problem with authority,

650
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 6: and I would make it known that I had a

651
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 6: problem with authority. So I was always the one getting suspended.

652
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 6: I was always the one getting kicked out of school.

653
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 6: I got kicked out of five or six different schools.

654
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 6: I got expect when I say, kicked out me and

655
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 6: expelled from the whole school district.

656
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was it was like that.

657
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: Did you have a problem with you know, parents are

658
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: authoritative figures. Did you have a problem with your parents?

659
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

660
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, And me and my dad us to get into

661
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 6: all the time, to the point where I moved out

662
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 6: when I was sixteen and with my god brother, and

663
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 6: then when I moved back in, we end up moving here.

664
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 6: And then when I met my wife. I met my

665
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 6: wife when I was eighteen. I was homeless at the time.

666
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 6: Let me tell it. I ran away phone and.

667
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a blazing I just wasn't staying.

668
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 6: She'd tell you, I literally was sleeping in my car,

669
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 6: and I never told her this until maybe like last year.

670
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: I would like. So I was working as a life card.

671
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 6: I would drive to work and I had like a

672
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: two thousand Nissan Maximum Super bucket. I used to drive

673
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: to work in it, and then as soon as I

674
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 6: would get off of work, I would text her and

675
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 6: be like, Hey, I'm.

676
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: On my way over to you.

677
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 6: Literally do she know I'm already sitting in the parking

678
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 6: lot and I've been sleeping her for three days And

679
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 6: I'm literally like on the phone with my cousin, with

680
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 6: my sister and telling them like what was going on?

681
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 6: And she think I'm getting off of work, but the

682
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 6: whole time I've been sleeping in the parking lot. I'll

683
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 6: walk upstairs, take a shower, getting food, be like, oh,

684
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 6: I'm headed back to work, just because I didn't want

685
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 6: to be embarrassed, walk back downstairs, and sleep back back

686
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 6: in my car.

687
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

688
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: So that was happening for maybe like what a month?

689
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Maybe?

690
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe like a month.

691
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 6: So my relationship with my parents have always been very rocky.

692
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 6: But I take a lot of credit for it because

693
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 6: my dad always tried the best that he possibly could.

694
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: When he would come home, it would be like, either

695
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 6: you're gonna do what I say, or that's it, no

696
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 6: other right ifans or buts.

697
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: I grew up in old school house hold.

698
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 6: Yes, it was different for me because I've always been

699
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 6: a big communicator, So you either got to explain to

700
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 6: me why I'm doing what I'm doing or I'm not

701
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 6: doing it.

702
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: No, no, exactly, don't. That's in fact, I'm the king

703
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: shady queen, and you listen to everything we say. And

704
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: that always was a problem for me.

705
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: Did your brother and supposter have those same problems with

706
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: your father or they just like it was me?

707
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, But so it trickled down from me to my

708
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 6: younger brother and my younger brother, and I was in prison,

709
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 6: and I believe a lot of it and also, okay,

710
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 6: he horrible.

711
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: He was bad.

712
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 6: For you to say consider, but it triggered down from

713
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 6: me to him. But I think a lot of times

714
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 6: it was more or less of like I said, just

715
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 6: a communication issue. So my sister, like so she was

716
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 6: with my god parents. So by the time a lot

717
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 6: of the traumatic stuff happened for me, she was already

718
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: in Chicago where she went to school at And then

719
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 6: my older brother he was already in college.

720
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: So a quick story.

721
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 6: When I was in eleventh grade, my brother had, like

722
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: I said, he was four years older me, so he

723
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 6: had graduated already, he was in college. We were living

724
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 6: and so I'm originally from Detroit. So we were living

725
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: in Detroit on seven miles out of drive and we

726
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 6: had my dad bought us a topper bikele He bought

727
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 6: my little brother topp of bike. You know what the

728
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 6: top of bike is like. One of the bikes had

729
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 6: the real big tire on the front and then a

730
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 6: real fat.

731
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: Tire on the back.

732
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 6: He bought my little brother one of those, and he

733
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 6: was riding my neighborhood acting like he was a ship.

734
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: And it was.

735
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 6: A group of kids across the street. Obviously they ain't

736
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 6: like it. Again, we're still in the inner city of Detroit,

737
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 6: so one day they stole this bike. We ended up

738
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: going to get it back and we put it back

739
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 6: in the garage. One of the little boys from across

740
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 6: the street came while he was asleep. It was just me,

741
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: my mom, me, my mom, and my little brother. My

742
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 6: dad was at work. He came in garradge while we

743
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 6: were sleep and I saw him. Nobody else saw him,

744
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 6: so I walked outside in front of him. He wanted

745
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 6: to go take the bike anyway. I punched him in

746
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: the face. He ran downstairs, told his brothers, told all

747
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 6: of his cousins and whatnot. I go back in the

748
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 6: house and not thinking nothing of it. Maybe five minutes later,

749
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 6: all you hear is like it sounded like a war

750
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 6: war starting outside. All you hear is like people screaming

751
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 6: and yelling. I go peek through the window, no exaggeration.

752
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 6: There's probably thirty people and they are running down the

753
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 6: street and they taking their shirts offt you right, know

754
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 6: what that means.

755
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: They taking their shirts off, screaming.

756
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 6: It's over with. It ain't even thathing you can say

757
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 6: at this point. So they full blown coming down the street.

758
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 6: I go to close the window, acting like if they

759
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 6: don't see me, then they'll go to the opposite direction.

760
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 6: Before you know it, there's a brick that comes to

761
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 6: the front window and it shatters all in the glass.

762
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 6: We had a class that was in the like, so

763
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 6: the front door was here and then the glass was here.

764
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 6: It literally shattered through the living room. So now it's

765
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 6: a big brick in my living room. My mom come

766
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 6: downstairs and she panicking. She go to open the door.

767
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 6: They brushed the door. They completely like try and take

768
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 6: me outside. I end up getting jumped. They end up

769
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 6: hitting my mama and they hit my little brother.

770
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

771
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: But when this happened.

772
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 6: Of course, you know, my dad get a call, I

773
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 6: handle my own I like to think I still got jumped,

774
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 6: So I go in the house, I call my dad,

775
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 6: tell him. My brother ends up driving down because he

776
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 6: went to school in Grand Valley, which maybe like an

777
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 6: hour hour and a half. He ended up driving down

778
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 6: while my kids, so I don't know how far it feels, but.

779
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: It felt like hour. But he drive back.

780
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 6: He pull up, my dad get a gun. Long story short,

00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 6: he go down do whatever he was supposed to do

782
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 6: at the house. According to court documents, he went down

783
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 6: and did whatever they said he did.

784
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: And this old my dad.

785
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 6: So the next morning, my dad's in jail, I'm and

00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: we're getting the viction otis they come. My brother went

788
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: back to school by this point, so it literally just me,

789
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 6: my mom, and my little brother. We hear my dad go,

790
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: we're getting the viction otis. They come and tell us like, hey,

791
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 6: you got two or three days to get out, and

792
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 6: we're throwing anything on the curb. My mom's best friend

793
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 6: used to live like on the opposite side of the box,

794
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 6: but she had a house that she had just moved

795
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 6: out of and it was one of those situations like

796
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 6: how I was telling you here, how when we moved out,

797
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 6: we just didn't tell the landlord that we moved out,

798
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 6: so the landlord is still thinking we there. But at

799
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 6: this point we squatting basically, So we get evicted, we

800
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 6: move over to the house we squatting, and it was

801
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 6: one of the darkest times in my life. And I'm

802
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 6: telling you, I'm at this point of like not understanding

803
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 6: really but like fully, like what am I doing?

804
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: My mom?

805
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 6: She has no money. At this point, we eaten Checkers.

806
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 6: Shout out to Checkers because at this point I want to.

807
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: Sponsor to you.

808
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 6: We eaten Checkers box and they had a popcorn chicken

809
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 6: box and it was like popcorn chicken and fries and

810
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 6: you get a flight two dollars and we all get

811
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: one a day and that's all we've eating. So that again,

812
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 6: my older brother wasn't there, and my older sister wasn't there.

813
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 6: It was just me and my younger brother that had

814
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 6: to go through that. And it was one of those

815
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 6: things where I feel like that really molded me as

816
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: a person of who I am. So that's probably why

817
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: I act a little bit. Now as an adult, I

818
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 6: feel like I've learned from a lot of it, and

819
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 6: being in this house is really like reminded me of

820
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 6: why I'm exactly where I'm at and where I'm supposed

821
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 6: to be at.

822
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: Did that experience.

823
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: They about to choke me?

824
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: Hup?

825
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: Come mom, man, that experience that you went through? Did

826
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: that have anything that you say?

827
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm going to the mma? I got jumped.

828
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be because you say you handle your own

829
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: but I mean you don't only do so much.

830
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: As a bunch of Yeah, not necessarily.

831
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 6: I feel like the main reason why I end up

832
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: fighting is because I got kicked out of school. I

833
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 6: got kicked out of college. Well, I couldn't afford it,

834
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 6: and they basically was like, either you give us twenty

835
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 6: five thousand dollars by tomorrow or the next day after that,

836
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 6: or you got to leave. So I came back home

837
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 6: to Vegas and my brother he saw me on the

838
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 6: couch and he saw I was a breast and I

839
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 6: didn't know what I was about to do, and he

840
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 6: was like, bro, come to the gym with me. And

841
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 6: he took me to the gym and I never turned back.

842
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: Wow. So what did give you? What is what may do?

843
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: For Keith Lee hard work.

844
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 6: It gave me a lot of like resilience, And I

845
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 6: feel like that's exactly what I take into this profession

846
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 6: that I'm in out I feel like my work ethic

847
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 6: is bar none. I honestly don't. That's That's why I

848
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 6: don't compare myself to nobody, and I don't consider myself

849
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 6: an influencer. I just consider myself Keith And I feel

850
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 6: like the reason I do that is because not to

851
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 6: sound cocky or sound like asshole, but I'm.

852
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: Him saying I'm one of the help a lot of you.

853
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 6: I take a lot of credit and I give it

854
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 6: to my wife, and I give it to my kids,

855
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 6: and I give it to my sister and the people

856
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 6: in our family.

857
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: We some dogs, bro.

858
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 6: When I tell you, like it might look like we

859
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 6: just eat food. But even this last week, we've been

860
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 6: in four different states, uh, thugging it off the sprint

861
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 6: van and a lot of this. We do it our

862
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 6: own money, we do it our own time. And before

863
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 6: you know it, we look up and we on food

864
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 6: tour and we've been outside in the sprinter van for

865
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 6: nine hours a day.

866
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

867
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 6: And I feel like a lot of that is a

868
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: testing to my MMA background, because it's again, it's a

869
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 6: different switch you gotta turn on in order to really

870
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 6: like lock everything out and just do what you feel

871
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 6: like you called to do. And that's what I feel

872
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 6: like I take into food and anything else.

873
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 2: You have an eight and five record in the MMA.

874
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: You won three by knockout, one by submission, for by decision.

875
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: What's what's the hardest part about MMA? I mean, you know, look,

876
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: there is everything. I mean the backfist and kick you

877
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: and hitch elbow you and choke you out, because really

878
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: people ain't really trying to go to the cards. Now,

879
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: if you try to be in the UFC, Dana won't action.

880
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: That's the fact he won't action. So do you go

881
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: get a couple of decisions? Dane Gore like, nah, you're

882
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: not for the UFC. So what is the hard What

883
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 2: is the hardest part about MMA?

884
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 6: I can't speak for nobody else, but I feel like

885
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 6: the reason why my record looked the way it did

886
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 6: is because I, again I had a brother that was

887
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 6: already in it, so I didn't have to slow roll.

888
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 6: I if you go back and watch and see who

889
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 6: I thought I would jumping into the deep end immediately.

890
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 6: Like my first three fights was in Canada. Most people

891
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 6: don't fight internationally until they get to they tenth fifteenth profight.

892
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: I was outside immediately.

893
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 6: So the hardest part for me was fighting guys that

894
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,479
Speaker 6: were out of my experience level and not really having

895
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 6: anybody to be like relaxed, bro, you ain't got a rush.

896
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 6: I was eighteen fighting guys that had kids and and

897
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 6: real life struggles. So for me, I felt like that

898
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 6: was the hardest part. But physically the hardest part. I

899
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 6: feel like if you were to beat me, it was pressure.

900
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 6: It was guys that was coming for NonStop, had nothing

901
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 6: to lose, was willing to get knocked out. I always

902
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 6: was a person who value my feet, my footwork, so

903
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 6: I'm moving. I don't want to get hit. I don't

904
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 6: like getting punched. I got a pretty facial I wouldn't

905
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 6: keep this.

906
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: Care bro.

907
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 6: Yeah it was guys who didn't give a damn. But yeah,

908
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 6: once I didn't even really officially retire. My wife wont

909
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 6: me the officially retire, but everything kind of just took

910
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 6: off in like the end of twenty twenty two and

911
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: like December, I fought in September twenty twenty two. So

912
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 6: right after that last fight, everything kind of took off.

913
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 6: But I feel like, yeah, the hardest part was just

914
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 6: like and it's relinquishing. It's like you you have no

915
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 6: control over what was about to happen. You just got

916
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 6: to let it happen. And that's the hardest part for me.

917
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 6: It's like just getting into that mindset of like, God,

918
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 6: I trust you and I know what ever's about to

919
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 6: happen is about to happen, and it ain't nothing that

920
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: I'm about to do. I can train for eight weeks straight,

921
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 6: the hardest training camp, to be the most prepared, train

922
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 6: with the world champions, train with everybody who they claim

923
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 6: is the best. You go out there and get finished

924
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 6: in twenty seconds. So it ain't really nothing you could

925
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 6: do about it other than just let it be what

926
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 6: it is.

927
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: You said you had a wrestling background, so clearly you're

928
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: good at grappling. You try to take people down, get

929
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: them off their feet. You didn't want to, like you said,

930
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: you don't want to get punched in the face, or

931
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: the best way not to get punched in the face

932
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: and get them on the mask and do what you

933
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: need to do.

934
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: So that was what you try to do.

935
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 6: I was a hybrid, so I mix it up really well.

936
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 6: In my opinion, I came in an era where people

937
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 6: was doing everything, so there was no more just scrapplers

938
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 6: or just strikers.

939
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: There's very rare cases of it.

940
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 6: And like somebody like could be where he's a straight grappler,

941
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 6: I came in like on the tailing that. So, like

942
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 6: I said, I turned professional and I was in twenty fifteen,

943
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 6: when I was eighteen or twenty fourteen, so that was

944
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 6: when literally you have to do everything. People on a

945
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 6: grassroots level or like the amateur length ranks, they was

946
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 6: literally like switching stancers already, stuff that most people don't

947
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 6: do until, like I said, twenty twenty five pro fights.

948
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 6: They was fighting at nineteen eighteen grappling, striking. So I

949
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 6: like to consider myself part of that generation.

950
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: What does it feel like to knock someone out and

951
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: what does it feel like to get knocked out?

952
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: So I've never been knocked out.

953
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 6: I've been finished once in my entire career, and that

954
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 6: was me being choked out triangle or rear naked, So

955
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 6: that was probably in that And I feel like I

956
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 6: love that tree even brought it up. That fight right

957
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 6: there was literally what made my life begin to where

958
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 6: it's at right now. So I was in his house

959
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 6: when it happened. To by the way, that's crazy. I

960
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 6: was here when it happened. So I just had a

961
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 6: contract with Belatour, which is the second biggest promotion in

962
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 6: the world when it comes to mm A. I was

963
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 6: touring one in the promotion. I had just beat the

964
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 6: number seventh ranked guy and a number eighth rate guy,

965
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 6: and I was I had just lost to the number

966
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 6: one rank guy. So I'm thinking in my head like, oh,

967
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 6: it's just a bounce back fight. I'm fighting this guy

968
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 6: that's like seven and oh. I'm like, oh, this is

969
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 6: gonna put me right back into top contention. Because they

970
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 6: had a tournament coming up at one thirty five to

971
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 6: where the top eight guys fought for a million dollars.

972
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 6: So the winner between me and the guy I fought

973
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 6: that was seven and oh went into the tournament. So

974
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, like, mind you I just bought. I just

975
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 6: fought number seven, number eight. This guy was I think

976
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 6: he was ranked number twelfth at the time. I'm real cocky, Shannon.

977
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, it's over it like I'm already coming

978
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 6: home and I'm telling her, like.

979
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: What spot man, what I'm telling him?

980
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 6: What's spoting the tournament I got. I'm telling the exactly

981
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 6: what we about to do with the money. I'm taking

982
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 6: a camp serious, but I already I'm going into it

983
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 6: with that mindset of like, oh it's over with, I

984
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 6: get smoked.

985
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm talking about whooped on the first time in my

986
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: entire career.

987
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 6: So at eight and five, only had my four losses

988
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 6: were by split decision and split decisions to where like

989
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 6: it could literally go like this like Razor there. That

990
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 6: was the only time where I got shut out and

991
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 6: I got finished in the first round. He was when

992
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 6: I say jab everything was landed. I was looking up

993
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 6: by how many people in here. I looked at his coaches,

994
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 6: like why how you going to let him jump over

995
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 6: the top.

996
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 3: They come punch me in the face. It's bad, bro.

997
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: I could look up.

998
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 6: Before you know it, he got my back and it's

999
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 6: maybe like ten seconds left o'clock and I could hear,

1000
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 6: so they do a smacker for the last ten seconds,

1001
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 6: so I could hear the ten seconds smacker, and you

1002
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 6: can see on my face in the video that he

1003
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 6: I'm still there. He got the trope, but I'm like,

1004
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 6: I'm all right, I'm still scrambling. Before you know it,

1005
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 6: I go to lift up. I get up and I

1006
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 6: run to the cage. I don't know out for like

1007
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 6: three seconds. Wow, and he looking at me out. You

1008
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 6: can go watch the video. I'm all completely bloodied up

1009
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 6: in my head. I didn't go out at all. In

1010
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 6: my head, I'm like, oh, this choke not even in. Oh,

1011
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 6: let me get up. Oh I hear that the times over.

1012
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 6: Let me get up and run to my corner. Literally,

1013
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 6: you know, I'm out. I wake up, my head snap back.

1014
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 6: I stand up, and I stumble all the way over

1015
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 6: to the corner and the ref. He picked me up

1016
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 6: and he like it's over with. You can see in

1017
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 6: the video. I'm like, why what happened? I was out

1018
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 6: gone that it felt like a movie, Like it felt

1019
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 6: like it's such a weird feeling because you still hear everything,

1020
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 6: you still feel everything, like you feel like you're.

1021
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 3: Watching somebody else.

1022
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 6: Like I felt like I was standing over myself and

1023
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 6: being like, oh the joke not even in. But the

1024
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 6: whole time I'm like calm so for me, that felt

1025
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 6: like I said it felt like a movie. But putting

1026
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 6: somebody else to sleep, that's one of the most amazing feelings.

1027
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: That's why I say it's a switch.

1028
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 6: You gotta be a little crazy, You got to be

1029
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 6: a little off to say you feel good to put

1030
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 6: somebody to sleep. But when you're any heat at the moment,

1031
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 6: I feel like it's one of those like fndicate moments

1032
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 6: because the second for anybody who has never fought before,

1033
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 6: the second that you know you won everything from So

1034
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 6: it's usually like eight week process that goes into fighting.

1035
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 6: And that's from cutting weight, that's from eating right, that's

1036
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 6: from making sure that you're running in the morning.

1037
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, none of them.

1038
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 6: None of that I'm talking about like full blown militant.

1039
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 6: So the second that the fight is over, it could

1040
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 6: be from you finishing putting it out of sleep. Everything

1041
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 6: comes crashing and you just feel like, oh I can

1042
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 6: breathe now. Like so it's literally like when people say

1043
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,959
Speaker 6: like it's a monkey on your back, that's no joke,

1044
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 6: Like you know when it like super Bowls, that's exactly

1045
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 6: what it feel like. Every fight is like somebody lifting

1046
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 6: somebody off your shoulders. So it's like literally the second

1047
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 6: the fight is over, you just go.

1048
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: Oh, and then it shows that all that hard work,

1049
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: that all the eight week all of it.

1050
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, it's one of the best feelings in work.

1051
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: What about a return? Are you interested in returning to

1052
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: the the gun?

1053
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 6: It got to be a lot of money involved a

1054
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 6: lot of money. Uh, I got kids, man, And the

1055
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 6: main reason I even stopped training, Like I said, there

1056
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 6: was never official retirement. The main reason I even stopped

1057
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 6: is because you either got to do it or you're.

1058
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: Not gonna do it at all.

1059
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 3: It ain't no playing. It ain't no like, oh, I'm

1060
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 3: about to go on a full tour.

1061
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 6: I'm about to go drive around the city and I'm

1062
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 6: about to go eat and then I'm gonna train.

1063
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 3: Ain't none of that.

1064
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 6: I trained with one of the best guys in the world.

1065
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 6: His name is Duey Cooper. He trained Francis and Gonu.

1066
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 6: He's got like four or five different championships in the UFC.

1067
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 6: Alan He a bad man, so it would play with him.

1068
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 6: It wouldn't know like, oh, I'm about to come in,

1069
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 6: I'm a celebrity. Ain't none of that. Man, go get

1070
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 6: on the bag. So for me, it was it was

1071
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 6: either you're gonna do it or you're not gonna do

1072
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 6: it at all. So that's probably the main decision when

1073
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 6: I come back. I'm looking at my wife right now

1074
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 6: and I know.

1075
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 3: It's over.

1076
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: So have you ever met Dana.

1077
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 6: I've met him like in passion because my brother, My

1078
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 6: brother fought for ten years, but I never had.

1079
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: Like a full blown conversation.

1080
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: So do you still train? Like, no, sir.

1081

1086
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,360

00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 6: if I go train, uh from just scar tissue from

1090
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 6: doing it for so long, my face is automatically it's

1091
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 6: gonna swell, whether it's gonna open up or it's gonna

1092

Speaker 3: with money. Yeah.

1096
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 2: We just saw the fight this weekend. John Jones took

1097
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: out Steepe. Now he's the heavyweight champ. He also took

1098
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: the belt from Cyril Gunn.

1099
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 3: I hate that whole conversation. We can talk about it.

1100
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: I hate that.

1101
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: Do you hate the conversation to Go?

1102
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 3: I hate the conversation to him ducking from Tom?

1103
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: Oh, no, we hate it, bro.

1104
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 6: Now we talk because I like to consider myself an mma, Uh,

1105
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 6: what's the nerd Fishinado?

1106
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 3: All of that bones.

1107
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 6: I don't even think it's a conversation or it's a

1108
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 6: question that he's the best that we've ever seen do

1109
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 6: it by far. I hate the conversation of like he

1110
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 6: duck and Tom. We did this maybe like a year

1111
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 6: ago with Sergei Pava Losh that's how you say his

1112
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 6: last name.

1113
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 3: Excuse me for pronounce wrong.

1114
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 6: But when he was coming through the ranks and he

1115
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 6: was killing people, everybody was, oh, he gotta fight Jones

1116
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 6: and Jon was scared of him. And then he got

1117
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 6: finished by Tom, and don't nobody talking about him no more? Right,

1118
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 6: It's like, don't nobody paying no attention. But it's like,

1119
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 6: is very annoying to see somebody, especially somebody that look

1120
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 6: like us, be in a space where it's like every

1121
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 6: single time you do something, it's something else that got

1122
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 6: to be done in order for you to send nature legacy.

1123
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 6: It's like he's been doing this since I was a kid.

1124
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been doing it.

1125
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: Where he's been a champ since twenty eleven.

1126
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 3: That's insane. Yeah, that's insane. And he hasn't lost to anybody. No,

1127
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 3: for if he was.

1128
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 6: Anybody else, it wouldn't even be a question, it wouldn't

1129
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 6: even be a conversation because when could be beat uh

1130
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 6: was Judge, that was Gaigie his last fight, When could

1131
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 6: be beat gai Chie, There wasn't a question of, oh,

1132
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 6: he gotta come back and he gotta fight Idia to

1133
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 6: submit his legacy, or he got to come back, he

1134
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 6: gotta fight Volte to submit his legacy, or he gotta

1135
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 6: come back, he gotta fight Holloway.

1136
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 3: It wasn't none of that.

1137
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 6: It wasn't even like even there's no conversation as we

1138
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 6: speak revolving around his legacy is greatness. But with Jones,

1139
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 6: he gotta beat everybody in their moment in order to

1140
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 6: get any kind of recognizing.

1141
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: And then when he beats as they're gonna come up

1142
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: with all, they will come up with somebody else.

1143
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: Well, he got to wait to us.

1144
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 3: To be something else.

1145
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always gonna be something else, and even if

1146
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 6: he don't be asmall, because it's the fight world, anything happened.

1147
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 6: I don't think that takes away from the greatness that

1148
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 6: is John Jones and that always will be John Jones.

1149
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: To have that type of ring for a decade and

1150
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: a half, I.

1151
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: Don't think Tim doing that. I ain't gonna lie. He

1152
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 3: might again, everything happens though he's supposed to.

1153
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 6: But I feel like it's a little a little too late,

1154
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 6: because again, jon't what Tom is twenty seven thirty one.

1155
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: I think I think he's seven years younger than I

1156
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: think that.

1157
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 3: I think that I think the conversations over with that alone,

1158
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 3: yeah alone, even just his age.

1159
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: Are you a boxing fan? Everyon? Again?

1160
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 6: I watched, Yeah, I predicted Tank and Garcia in front

1161
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 6: of the Tank literally the punch, the round and exactly

1162
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 6: how I was about to go, right, because again I'm him.

1163
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: So who do you who do you want to see?

1164
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 2: Who do you want to see Tank fight? People say

1165
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: they want to see a rematch, they want to see

1166
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: Tank fight Shakur, they want to see him fight Boots.

1167
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 2: So who would you like to see Tank fight?

1168
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I feel like there's so many options.

1169
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 6: But at the same time, I think a lot of

1170
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 6: people feel like he hasn't been tested yet because we

1171
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 6: are in this era of protect the oath. But just

1172
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 6: from seeing him up close and watching him so I

1173
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 6: trained at Maywell's for years, So just seeing him up close,

1174
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm about to sound like a tape

1175
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 6: recorder with anybody that's in his camp. Take him, bro,

1176
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 6: take one of them. So I don't care who he fight.

1177
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 6: I feel like he is our generation's best, and I

1178
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 6: feel like at the end of the day, when the

1179
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 6: smoke is clear, he gonna come out of like really

1180
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 6: being one of them.

1181
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: Where are you on this celebrity boxing? We just saw

1182
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: Jake Paul fight Tyson. We saw McGregor.

1183
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 3: Caught that fight. I hate everything about that.

1184
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 2: What did you hate about it? Do you think it

1185
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 2: was stage? Do you think what happened.

1186
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 3: First to the lead up?

1187
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 6: I told my wife that I can't be there because

1188
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 6: I was gonna drop the ring. I was one of

1189
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 6: it's Tyson, Bro. He's a legend of the sport. He's

1190
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 6: a legend of our community. He is somebody who should

1191
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 6: be held to the highest regard. I don't like that

1192
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 6: there was like this conversation of like competitiveness, He's sixty,

1193
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 6: bro Like, if we if we bring up any legend

1194
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 6: of any other race or demographic, there's no way that

1195
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 6: you touch in one of their legend, but we allow

1196
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 6: our legends to get in there.

1197
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: And he allowed that mockery. I agree with you.

1198
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 6: I agree with you, But us as fans still was

1199
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 6: having conversations around the fight itself like it was about

1200
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 6: to be a competitive or back and forth fight.

1201
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Keith, if what they're saying is true to

1202
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: man made twenty mili, I mean, can I hear you?

1203
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 3: I hear you? What is it?

1204
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 1: It's money, Joe Freddie.

1205
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: Now you have realized here's a guy that's made what

1206
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 2: five six, seven hundred million dollars and I'm not so

1207
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 2: sure he has half of that. I'm not so sure

1208
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: he has a third of that here and so twenty

1209
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: million dollars at the age of fifty eight.

1210
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 6: People, but you you might Tyson, the money gonna come

1211
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 6: and go right? Yeah, Uh, He's had way more than

1212
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 6: twenty million before for sure. So in my mind is

1213
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 6: I know he I watched Tyson very religiously, and I

1214
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 6: know he don't believe in legacy but for me, it's

1215
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 6: not necessarily him.

1216
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: It's the kids.

1217
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 6: That's below him is my kids, it's me, it's somebody

1218
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 6: who's watched him literally from the beginning. So to stand

1219
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 6: on integrity, this is one thing I always preach my kids.

1220
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 6: To stand on something that you can that would last

1221
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 6: forever and that you can pass on to another generation.

1222
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 6: And as far as integrity and as as far as

1223
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 6: something that you a cold, that you stand behind to

1224
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 6: stand on, that is way more valuable than any amount

1225
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 6: of money for me.

1226
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: So would you do a celebrity boxing match?

1227
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, see maybe, but.

1228
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: The money have to be right, So they got.

1229
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 6: For me, So money wise, it would specifically be for

1230
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 6: professional fighting. That's where I say the money got to

1231
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 6: be right because again, my life isn't in Yeah, no,

1232
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 6: the celebrity, but celebrity, the money don't necessarily got to

1233
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 6: be right.

1234
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 3: It got to be the right one. Got to be

1235
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: the right fight. For me.

1236
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 6: I wouldn't fight necessarily a celebrity because I feel like

1237
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 6: it would erase what I've done for ten years in

1238
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 6: an make space. It would really just be to go

1239
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 6: out there and have fun but still be competitive. So

1240
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 6: it would have to be that middle ground of being

1241
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 6: competitive and still not getting cut up by my wife

1242
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 6: because I'm getting cut in stuff.

1243
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: Is there any way we could do a celebrity MMA fight.

1244
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 3: Maybe we can be the first of the Come who

1245
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 3: you want to see me fight?

1246
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: Shanning? I don't know who? Like you say you atee

1247
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: you you fought at one thirty.

1248
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,680

Speaker 2: your mind then?

00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 3: Oh my life was over. With my mind.

1310
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 6: I came back in this very house and had no

1311
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 6: When I say no idea, my wife was pregnant with

1312
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 6: our second child. I had a two year old. The

1313
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 6: rent here was one thousand dollars. I had no idea

1314
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 6: how I was about.

1315
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 3: To pay that.

1316
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 6: I literally vividly remember sitting in this very chair, in

1317
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 6: its very spot. Swear to you, I went to it.

1318
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 6: This is when food reviews actually started for me, because

1319
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 6: before then I was just cooking in this kitchen and

1320
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 6: I would cook four times a day for her when

1321
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 6: she was pregnant, and I would just record myself every

1322
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 6: time I was cooking. And when after that fight, I

1323
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 6: was curled up in a ball in that bed, goddamn

1324
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 6: abowt to cry. I was curled up in a ball,

1325
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 6: and I remember her coming over the top of me

1326
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 6: and being like, everything is gonna be okay. It was

1327
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 6: so hard for me to see because I'm staring at

1328
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 6: my two year old. I'm staring at her belly. I

1329
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 6: no sense of what's about to happen. I thought that

1330
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 6: Food Reviews could do something, or I thought now I

1331
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 6: wouldn't even say I'm lying to myself.

1332
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 3: I had no idea what food was gonna do.

1333
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: You definitely didn't think it would take off like.

1334
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 3: This, never in a million years.

1335
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 6: I just vividly remember having a conversation with her and

1336
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 6: she telling me I was gonna be okay, and she

1337
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 6: was rubbing my back. I stood up and I was like,

1338
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 6: I'm about to make something happen. I'm about to go

1339
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 6: do something. I don't know what it is, but whatever

1340
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 6: it is calling me, whatever that voice is telling me

1341
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 6: to do, I'm about to do it. And I've listened

1342
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 6: to it before. And I'm in a position where I'm

1343
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 6: losing contracts. And when I say lost of contract, channing

1344
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 6: that contract was worth I think I had like one

1345
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars up one contract.

1346
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 3: That's money.

1347
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like, oh bro, what I was like, just

1348
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 6: all right, I ain't eve gotta fight, just give me

1349
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 6: ane thousand dollars in my mind. But like God willingly,

1350
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 6: maybe six months after all of that happened, and like

1351
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 6: I said, sitting the shot starting no food reviews, we

1352
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 6: ain't stopp reached out to me and they gave me

1353
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 6: a contract that was worth the exact same amount that

1354
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 6: that contract was worth for Belaitory.

1355
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: Wow, you had jobs. You did a delivery for Postmates

00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: That's what I said here in prison.

1360
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 6: But no, for me, I feel like I was. But

1361
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 6: I had so much going on at the time. I

1362
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 6: was sharing the car with my wife. So my daily

1363
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 6: schedule was I would go to the I would wake up,

1364
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 6: I would go drop her off in the morning. She

1365
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 6: had to be at work at nine o'clock. She had

1366
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 6: to be working nine. I would drop her off. I

1367
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 6: would go do three or four deliveries that took maybe

1368
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 6: like an hour. I would go straight to the gym.

1369
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 6: After that, I would train for maybe two hours, lead

1370
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 6: a gym. I'm talking about sweating, smelling like everything smell,

1371
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 6: get back all of that, getting the car, go do

1372
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,920

1373
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 6: I'm a good delivery driver because of a delivery driver

1374
00:57:58,720 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 6: pull up and you smell like a igh used to

00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

1377
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 3: He wanted food now, but I was drinding bro.

1378
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 6: I literally would leave there, do four by deliveries, go

1379
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 6: to the next gym session. After that, do two or three,

1380
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 6: Go pick her up from work, take her with me

1381
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 6: to do a few mold to get money for dinner,

1382
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 6: and then after dinner, I would like try and recover

1383
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 6: the best I could and do it again tomorrow.

1384
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 3: So was I a good delivery driver. I was a

1385
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 3: livery driver that did what he had to do right.

1386
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you get good tips?

1387
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, maybe a little bit.

1388
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: But so you.

1389
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: Mentioned that when things were transpiring, you would cook. You

1390
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: were cooking for your wife, Are you a good cook?

1391
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: I thought, how did you? How did you learn from

1392
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 2: watching your mom? How did you learn how to cook?

1393
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: Or was out of was it out of necessity?

1394
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 6: I've always been a study of the game, so I've

1395
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 6: always again, I've always been a professional in the sense

1396
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 6: of no matter what I do, I take it extremely serious.

1397
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 6: So when I was cutting weight, you can ask my

1398
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 6: coach this. When I was couldn't wait, I would be

1399
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 6: watching the Food Network. And that's me not eating no

1400
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 6: like solid meals for two or three days, and me

1401
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 6: watching people cook, and me watching people make like desserts

1402
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 6: and and full blown like food pouring down there.

1403
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 3: And he'd like, how are you watching this? Like you

1404
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: not even eating food? My stomach caved in.

1405
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 6: I'm sitting on the floor and like wrapped up like

1406
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 6: a mummy cause I'm kind of sweat right, and I'm

1407
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 6: full blown in my mind, I'm not realizing I'm studying,

1408
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 6: but now in retrospect, I'm studying for what God had

1409
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 6: in store for me.

1410
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was full blown, like watching Food.

1411
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 6: Network all day every day. A lot of people that

1412
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,479
Speaker 6: I used to watch on YouTube. It was like people

1413
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 6: versus food. I used to watch Cocoa Butter, which is

1414
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 6: like a YouTube channel of like us trying different cuisines

1415
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 6: that we never tried before. Got Fieri of course, Gord Ramsey,

1416
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 6: Bobby Flay, like I was a huge studier when it

1417
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 6: comes to that.

1418
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 3: That's pretty much how I taught myself.

1419
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 6: Afout cook is just watching other people and watching other

1420
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 6: videos and tutorials and just coming here and experience and

1421
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 6: like experiment stuff.

1422
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: So that's what you do. You watched them doing, like, okay,

1423
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: I do that.

1424
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 6: Yeah again, I've always been cocky in a since as

1425
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 6: a kid. So I was like, why can't I make

1426
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 6: a beef Wellerton. It's a video right now with me

1427
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 6: in that kitchen making a beef Welton and it was horrible.

1428
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: But I tried.

1429
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I was so cocky.

1430
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 6: That's one of the hardest dishes to make in literally

1431
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 6: in a culinary field.

1432
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 3: And I'm me. I was with like twenty two. I

1433
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 3: was like why not. I had like a little burnt pan.

1434
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 3: I had some puff pastry.

1435
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 6: I'm cutting mushrooms like I'm really doing something full blown.

1436
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 6: The pastry, though, was distick, it was raw in the middle,

1437
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 6: the steak was overcooked. I cut the puff pastrie out

1438
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 6: and ate the steak.

1439
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Anyway, when you were were you were foodie, when you

1440
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 2: were growing up, did you critique your mom your grandmother's.

1441
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Cooking and this was this was good? I don't know

1442
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: about this one.

1443
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 3: Mom, I've been as waiting. They used to get so

1444
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 3: mad at me. Even Thanksgiving. I used to full blown

1445
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 3: and be like in mydvanion, this is like a yeah,

1446
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 3: full blown.

1447
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't they didn't take kind of uh yes

1448
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: and no.

1449
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 6: Because so like my dad was always the one who cooked.

1450
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 6: My dad was a very meat eater. Okay, so he

1451
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 6: used to cook steaks. I'm talking about full blown like

1452
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 6: we used to walk in house. My my wife used

1453
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 6: to hate it at first because she come from a

1454
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 6: house where they make full meals.

1455
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: My dad just made meat. So you had no beg,

1456
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 3: you know nothing.

1457
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 6: You might have a little piece of experience like this

1458
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 6: be here, but it's really just steak. And I'm talking

1459
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 6: about own a cutting board just laid out. So like

1460
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 6: that's the kind of house that I grew up in.

1461
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: Right, So what made you change from cooking videos to

1462
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 2: doing reviews? When did when did that switch go off?

1463
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 2: That says you know what? The cooking videos okay, but

1464
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: let me review food that's already been cooked.

1465
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 3: Before we continue. I just want to say you were

1466
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: amazing at what you do.

1467
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 6: It's different seeing in in person and seeing how you

1468
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 6: handled the conversation and take it to different spots that

1469
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 6: I already was thinking of my mind, No, this is crazy.

1470
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 3: But what's the question?

1471
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 2: How did you How did you determine to stop doing

1472
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 2: You was doing cooking videos on YouTube and then you say,

1473
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 2: you know what switch goes off? You're like, okay, let

1474
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 2: me do reviews and start placing those on TikTok.

1475
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 6: It was right after that last fight, Like I said,

1476
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 6: I was having conversations that I didn't know what I

1477
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 6: was about to do, and I just started listening to

1478
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 6: the inner voice and I literally was just doing whatever

1479
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 6: felt right at the time. So my again, we in

1480
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 6: this kitchen, we standing in there, and I was at

1481
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 6: this point I was making cooking videos, but I also

1482
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 6: was like dibbling, dabbling with food reviews and people versus

1483
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 6: food who I just said, I used to watch a lot.

1484
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 6: I made a video saying I used to watch them,

1485
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 6: and they reached out and was like, we would love

1486
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 6: to have you on the show. And back then that's

1487
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 6: the equivalent of Shannon Sharp calling me and like, we

1488
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 6: want to sit down.

1489
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 3: To the interview at the house that you grew up here.

1490
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 6: So I'm freaking out and I'm like panicking, and I'm like,

1491
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 6: what am I to what I'm about to do? But again,

1492
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 6: I'm at the point of trusting God and trusting the

1493
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 6: planet he putting in for me. So I'm like, whatever

1494
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 6: we At this point, I'm in my mind, I'm like,

1495
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 6: what they want to talk to me, fo like what

1496
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 6: they want to bring me on their phone. But I'm

1497
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 6: just trusting God and I'm letting it happen my way's

1498
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 6: supposed to. And I'm standing in the kitchen and my

1499
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,439
Speaker 6: wife comes up and she says, Okay, if you about

1500
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 6: to go on people versus food, what are you gonna

1501
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 6: post on your page that's gonna make people come and

1502
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 6: actually follow you and not just come and look at

1503
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 6: your page and keep scrolling. And I was like, I

1504
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 6: already do four reviews every now and again. What if

1505
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 6: I just post one four of you a day until

1506
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 6: I get on the show. This was in November twenty

1507
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 6: twenty two. And my sister, She's always been a battery,

1508
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 6: packing my back she's living with us at the time,

1509
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 6: and she living on the couch right here, and she like, yeah,

1510
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 6: why don't you. I'm like, okay, let me just try it, right.

1511
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 6: I start posting once a day in November. By December,

1512
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 6: so I started at one point four million followers. By December,

1513
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 6: I had like seven million followers. Wow, I had like

1514
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 6: seven million. That's when the Wingstop deal came in. That's

1515
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 6: when the money started rolling in a little bit, and

1516
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 6: it just was like, what's happening. I vividly remember being

1517
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 6: in here and like, what is going on? I got

1518
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 6: a call from Kevin Hart while I'm sitting right here

1519
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 6: in the same spot, and he like, yeah, I want

1520
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 6: you to come try my restaurant.

1521
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what are you doing, Kevin? You?

1522
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 6: I literally I have the video on my phone of

1523
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 6: me looking at him like what are you talking about?

1524
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 6: Why would I come try food for you? And he like, bro,

1525
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 6: you the biggest sting you this, that, and the third.

1526
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 6: I don't see myself as other people see me, and

1527
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 6: I think that stems from that's my anxiety. So I

1528
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 6: see myself as a normal person and genuinely, to my core,

1529
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 6: I'm just Keith. So when things like that happen.

1530
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 3: It's like you lying, Like stop lying?

1531
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Do you shoot and edit all your own videos every day?

1532
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 3: So I shoot on my phone.

1533
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 6: I literally take my phone and I sit on the

1534
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 6: stairwheel and I record. I sit with my family with

1535
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 6: eat food. The second the camera go off, I go

1536
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 6: to the back of the sprinter, I edit the videos

1537
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 6: I posted, and then we go bout her day.

1538
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 3: But you that just to keep up.

1539
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you never really have any interaction with

1540
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: the people that actually own the restaurant. You go in there,

1541
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 2: buy food just like a normal you're in your sprinter,

1542
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 2: you eat like I mean, obviously you're not eating that much.

1543
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: That's the thing, because.

1544
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 6: I would be huge if I ate everything. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1545
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 6: But so I give the four rundown of how it works.

1546
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 6: So and when we go to a restaurant, it's specifically

1547
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 6: either based off a recommendation or it is based off

1548
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 6: the restaurant. It's self reaching out so that way nobody

1549
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 6: can say I was picking on them and I just

1550
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 6: randomly went to a restaurant and gave my unsolicited opinion.

1551
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 6: The pin has always asked for. So once we go

1552
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 6: to the restaurant, I'll have my sister, or I have

1553
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 6: somebody that nobody's ever seen me with in my family

1554
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 6: go and order the food.

1555
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: They might be knowing you might have to seise.

1556
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 3: It depends on where we're at.

1557
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 6: So if it's a spot where because the threshold is

1558
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 6: one hundred to one hundred and fifty recommendations and like

1559
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 6: I said, somebody reaching out. So if it's a place

1560
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 6: where it's like barely over the threshold, like a hundred recommendations,

1561
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 6: then I'll send my sister in because a lot of

1562
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 6: the times those people have no idea, right. But if

1563
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 6: it's a place where we got twenty five five hundred recommendations,

1564
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 6: or we got three thousand recommendations, or the restaurant owner

1565
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 6: and his mama and his grandmama and his cousin and

1566
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 6: reached out, then that's when I send the family member

1567
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 6: that nobody's ever seen me with. So it's levels of

1568
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 6: like ninja that we called it. It's like levels of

1569
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 6: like incognito. So if it's at the highest level, it's

1570
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 6: somebody that you literally never seen me with, somebody that

1571
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 6: don't even look like they're related to us, that you

1572
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 6: would never and we even get like we get real creative,

1573
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 6: Like they go to DD's and grab like random shopping

1574
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 6: bags just so they look like they've been shopping in

1575
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 6: the neighborhood. They throwing full disguises, so it's a full

1576
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 6: blown like mission basically. So they go in, they get

1577
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 6: the food, they record the experience. When they come back

1578
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 6: in the car, they give us all the information of

1579
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 6: how the customer service was, how fast it took, how

1580
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 6: many people was in there. They get videos of the

1581
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 6: inside and everything. I do the review full blown, unbiased,

1582
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 6: just giving my personal opinion the second that the video

1583
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 6: turns off. If there's if it's an eight or higher

1584
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 6: of like the overall rating for the car, because we

1585
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 6: literally I ask everybody, like, how did y'all think about it?

1586
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 3: They experience the food.

1587
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 6: If it's over eight, we go in and we have

1588
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 6: a conversation with owner, and a lot of times if

1589
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 6: I feel like it's over eight, we blessed enough to

1590
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 6: where we'll have people jump on a plane and literally

1591
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 6: try to place the same day. So I as again

1592
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 6: with a great power and great responsibility, So I feel

1593
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 6: like it's in our duty to go in and have

1594
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 6: a conversation with the owner and tell them like, hey,

1595
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 6: there's no promises, but it might get crazy in here,

1596
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,479
Speaker 6: and a lot of times that's why we leave really

1597
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 6: large tips so they can afford to go grab the

1598
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 6: food that they need for the next day, because a

1599
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 6: lot of these places they are either like behind a

1600
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 6: rent or they just like to make ends meet, so

1601
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 6: it's like they can't afford for the surge, like they

1602
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 6: can't afford to keep up with the demand because a

1603
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 6: lot of times they have to hire people the same day,

1604
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 6: where they got to call their cousins to be like, hey,

1605
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 6: we need ten of y'all to come and help us

1606
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 6: for tomorrow.

1607
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 3: So we pay up up for that.

1608
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 6: So we paid for the food, the help that you

1609
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 6: may need, and everything that comes involved in that. So

1610
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 6: that's when we talked to the owners.

1611
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Do you remember the first video you uploaded that went viral.

1612
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 6: Food review, Mister Gary, Mister Gary, it was a food

1613
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 6: truck that was around the corner from here. So I

1614
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 6: used to ride my bike just to stain shape. And

1615
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 6: the shrip is maybe like ten minutes from here, but

1616
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 6: it's a straight shot up Flamingo, So I used to

1617
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 6: come out here. I used to ride my bike and

1618
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 6: I always to ride real late so maybe like eleven o'clock.

1619
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 6: So this is maybe two weeks into Remember I told

1620
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 6: you I was posting every day. There's maybe two weeks

1621
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 6: into that. And I was riding my bike back.

1622
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 3: From the strip.

1623
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 6: This is maybe at like twelve o'clock at night. It's

1624
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 6: real late, and I'm driving past a random street that

1625
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 6: like literally nobody usually walks on because I don't know,

1626
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 6: if you know, we in a hood share at twelve o'clock,

1627
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 6: it don't be nobody down the street normally. So I'm

1628
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 6: driving down the street and it's a random like led

1629
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 6: lighted box and I can't tell what it is, and

1630
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 6: I'm like, why is there?

1631
01:08:58,560 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: Again?

1632
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 6: We in a hood, I'm like, why is lights in

1633
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 6: the middle of the street. So I turned my bike around,

1634
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 6: I ride down and low Mahoe is a food truck.

1635
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 6: I walk up to it. I asked the man like, hey,

1636
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 6: can I try some food? And he like, uh, yeah,

1637
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 6: we sell. It was called mister Gary's. I think it

1638
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 6: was like lobster and something Missigary seafood.

1639
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 3: So he had I'm.

1640
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 6: Allergy showfish, but he had lobster, shrimp, he had crab,

1641
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 6: he had everything. But he also had a burger so

1642
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 6: I was like, can I try to burger? And he

1643
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 6: was like, I'm gonna be honest with you. Everything is

1644
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 6: cooked on the same grill. So I was like, okay,

1645
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 6: never mind, and I went to leave and he was like, wait,

1646
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna clean the grill off. Come back tomorrow. I'll

1647
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 6: literally disaffect everything. I'll clean everything, I'll break everything down.

1648
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: Mind you.

1649
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 6: He has no idea why I am right, And in

1650
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 6: my mind, I'm like, why would he do all of

1651
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 6: this for a stranger or just a regular.

1652
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Customer and put do all that for a burger.

1653
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: Burger The burger was go down the street.

1654
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 3: It's twelve o'clock lights.

1655
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 6: He like, bro, I'm about to leave for the night,

Speaker 6: early just for you specifically, and I'm gonna clean everything.

1658
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 6: On my mind, I'm like, why is this place slow?

1659
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 6: Why is this not a loyal fan base that's coming

1660
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 6: here and supporting this man that's really like putting his

1661
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 6: hole into this rest of So I go back the

1662
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 6: next morning. Again, he still has no idea. I am

1663
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 6: go back the next morning. I try to burger. The

1664

Speaker 6: burger is amazing. I make a video to that effect

1665
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 6: and say, hey, in my opinions, burger is great.

1666
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 3: I tell the whole story.

1667
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 6: The video gets like twenty million, I would say, like

1668
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 6: in the first twelve hours or like fifteen or twenty million.

1669
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 6: He calls me and he panicking. He in a full blown,

1670
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 6: like sweat. He'd run around the house. I'm like, what's

1671
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 6: going on? He like, people got my phone number? Why

1672
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 6: do people have my phone number?

1673
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 3: Long and behold.

1674
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 6: I recorded the outside of the truck and had his

1675
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 6: phone number across the top and that was connected to

1676
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 6: his cash app. People say him forty thousand dollars in

1677
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 6: less than twelve hours, and he had no idea what

1678
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 6: to do. He was calling me, He like, do I

1679
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 6: pay these people?

1680
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 3: They money back? He's like, do I go see these

1681
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 3: people food? Like what do I do with his money?

1682
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 6: And I'm sitting there again, all of this is taking

1683
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 6: for the first time, and I'm like, I.

1684
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 3: Don't know we the myssacarious. I'm like, oh, this is

1685
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 3: justn't new to me.

1686
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 6: But it was like that reassurance or that knowingness of

1687
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 6: like knowing I had a community behind me that was

1688
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 6: willing and more than willing to go out and support

1689
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 6: these restaurants, and I always I told him at that day,

1690
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 6: because people want to see good people win, and people

1691
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 6: literally was like flock into his restaurant before you know what,

1692
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 6: the news was there. The video had over like thirty million,

1693
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 6: forty million views, and he had raised over I think

1694
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 6: like six thousand dollars.

1695
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, Why do you think people connect with your videos?

1696
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 6: I don't know, Shannon. I ain't go out to you.

1697
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 6: It baffles me every day. I think for me is

1698
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 6: because I pray a lot. Again, I don't see myself

1699
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 6: as other people see me, so it makes me question internally.

1700
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 6: But my I always fall back to the fact that

1701
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm supposed to be here and God

1702
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 6: put me here for a reason. And I think a

1703
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 6: lot of it giving myself a little credit is that

1704
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 6: I really take this serious, like I don't play around.

1705
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 6: I know these people's lives that are being affected, whether

1706
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 6: that be being good or bad. I know there's a

1707
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 6: lot of power that's been bestowed on me right now

1708
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 6: and bestowed on my family. We have no idea how

1709
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 6: long this is gonna last. We don't know if we're

1710
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 6: gonna be here tomorrow. We don't know if we're gonna

1711
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 6: be here in three years. I just know, as long

1712
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 6: as I can stay myself and I can be me,

1713
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be everywhere supposed to be. So I feel

1714
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 6: like that's why people connect. If that's why y'all connect,

1715
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1716
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:31,600
Speaker 3: Why y'all connect me. I'm thankful for it.

1717
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: Though.

1718
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 2: The foods that you critique, are they all foods that

1719
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 2: you've had before and you're basing it on a previous test,

1720
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 2: or you're like, man, no, I just like this. I've

1721
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 2: never had this dish before, but I really really like it.

1722
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 3: That's a great question.

1723
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 6: I like to think I step outside of the box

1724
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 6: a lot, but again, we go on recommendations, and a

1725
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 6: lot of my audience look like me. Now we're being

1726
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 6: blessed enough to where we stepping outside of that and

1727
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 6: we really hitting like a worldwide audience.

1728
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 3: But for a long time, it was just us.

1729
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 6: So the recommendations I would get would be from restaurants

1730
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 6: that were specifically for us.

1731
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: That we grew up.

1732
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, but now I said, we I like it.

1733
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 6: We step outside the box. And again, I'm a true foodie.

1734
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 6: So even if I'm not recording, we go in the cities,

1735
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 6: I'm trying something that I've never traveled for. I'm the

1736
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 6: type to literally book a flight to somewhere, get off

1737
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 6: the plane and just walk to the nearest restaurant and

1738
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 6: just try it and have no idea what I'm eating.

1739
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 3: He's in Japan. He is in Japan for a week straight.

1740
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 6: And when I say I ate everything under the sun stuff,

1741
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 6: I didn't even know how to pronounce stuff I had.

1742
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 6: I'm talking about we walking into a random buildings eating

1743
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 6: everything that people was recommended.

1744
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 3: Uh. I think that's just the foody in me.

1745
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 6: But for the most part, it, like I said, it's

1746
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:50,480
Speaker 6: coming from recommendation, so it can sometimes be like monotonous,

1747
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 6: but it's deeper than the food. For me Shanning, it's

1748
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 6: like it's the people behind the restaurants. It's people that

1749
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 6: look like.

1750
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: Us, right, and a lot of times they got a

1751
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 2: story to tell the whole and literally they started and.

1752
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 3: They got kids.

1753
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 6: They feed off of this, like they got their kids

1754
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 6: kids that they feed off of this. I'm blessed enough

1755
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 6: to say that in the past year alone, we've been

1756
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 6: a part of changing one hundred and fifty families lives

1757
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 6: that look like us.

1758
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 2: Wow, you great on scale of one to ten? How

1759
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 2: do you come to the Have you ever given a ten?

1760
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 3: A few?

1761
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 6: I would say maybe fifteen may max. We've been to

1762
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 6: over three hundred, four hundred restaurants. I would say maybe

1763
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 6: twenty max.

1764
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 3: Thanks.

1765
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: How does someone get a ten? What did it have

1766
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: to be?

1767
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 2: Obviously you want the customer service, you want food hot?

1768
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 2: But how what's the court? What's the A, D C

1769
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 2: D E? That gets to that ten?

1770
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 6: So I don't really do interviews, as you can tell.

1771
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 6: So I'm giving you stuff that I don't never give

1772
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 6: to nobody good like that.

1773
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 3: So I'm just give you my full skill for me.

1774
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 6: Anywhere from A one to a four is something that

1775
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 6: I wouldn't eat again, unless okay, one to a three

1776
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 6: I wouldn't eat again. Four is like I could see

1777
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 6: there's things that I personally would change, but there if

1778
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 6: I needed to eat it, I would eat it. Five

1779
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 6: is right in the middle. Five is like it's not bad,

1780
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 6: but it's not good. Six is like, Okay, we fix

1781
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 6: a few things, this can be really really good. Seven

1782
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 6: is like, this isn't the worst thing I had, but again,

1783
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 6: you fix maybe two or three items, or two or

1784
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 6: three ingredients and a dish and we talk about something superior.

1785
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 6: Eight is like, even if I'm not recording, I'll eat this.

1786
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 6: I would probably would eat the whole thing, but I'll

1787
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 6: eat it if if I'm coming back to the city.

1788
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 6: Nine is like, I'm about to finish this, and whoever

1789
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 6: wants some, y'all better hurry up and get it because

1790
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 6: it's about to be gone. Ten is nothing that I

1791
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 6: personally can think of can be changed about this dish

1792
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 6: to make it better. It ain't a piece of salt

1793
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 6: that can be added, a no level of sweetness, no

1794
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 6: level of savory. And this it's nothing in this dish,

1795
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 6: no added an ingredient that I can think of that

1796
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 6: can make this any better. So that's why I get

1797
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 6: the ten because in my mind, that's a perfect dish.

1798
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Have you ever made recommendations like, man, you need to

1799
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 2: add a little bit more this, a little bit.

1800
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: More bad tickets? Do they take people take your bites?

1801
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 3: I would like to think so.

1802
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 6: So we went to a place in New Orleans and

1803
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 6: it was called what was the name of it, you

1804
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. It was called something It was

1805
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 6: like a sweet buyou or buyou effect or something like that,

1806
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 6: And it was supposed to be Mexican inspired tacos and

1807
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:37,719
Speaker 6: Mexican inspire food.

1808
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 3: It was black people food, yeah, full blonde. And I

1809
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 3: went in.

1810
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 6: I had a conversation with them and I was like,

1811
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 6: let's just call it black people food when I say

1812
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 6: it was so they had nachos, the nachos.

1813
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 3: The nachos was like ground beef. It was ground beef

1814
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 3: nacho cheese. It was like I think they even they

1815
01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: using Dorito's. They was using some kind of like bad

1816
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 3: the rito hit that ain't that's us? Yes, yeah, And

1817
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 3: I felt.

1818
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 6: Like once you identify your demographic and identify your target

1819
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 6: audience and you make it known exactly who you're making

1820
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 6: food folk, it makes it easier for people in the

1821
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 6: audience in the area to be like, oh I eat

1822
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 6: that kind of food.

1823
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 3: Oh I want to try that.

1824
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 6: So and after we had the conversation, they changed a

1825
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 6: lot of the meal items to reflect exactly what it was. Wow,

1826
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 6: it was like rotail dip and they caught it like

1827
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 6: Mexican nacho and I was like, this is rotail.

1828
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 3: I know it's bell Vita.

1829
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 2: So you started like I'm reading that you and you

1830
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 2: watched a lot of videos with your daughter.

1831
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: The pawl patrol and things like that, and you're like.

1832
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know, hey, is that did that really give

1833
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,639

01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1835
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 3: No, I didn't have furniture.

1836
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: So you never getting rid of it.

1837
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 6: Huh No, know that that's going in that case somewhere

1838
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 6: in a few years. Yeah, So how that happen was,

1839
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 6: I literally didn't have furniture. We bought my daughter a

1840
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 6: play set and it was a little small white table

1841
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 6: and it was this papatrol chair or this is like

1842
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 6: third one caause ide broke so many of them sitting

1843
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 6: in them, But it was a papatrol chair and it

1844
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 6: was sitting in this corner, and she had like a

1845
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 6: little kitchen set up. So one thing about us as parents,

1846
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 6: I like to tip our hats off. No matter what

1847
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 6: we got, our kids don't have everything. So I can

1848
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 6: be down on my last pair of shoes, I can

1849
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 6: be down to not eating. My kids gonna have whatever

1850
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 6: they think about. So my daughter can walk into the

1851
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 6: store and grab whatever she want. And this is when

1852
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 6: we was making one hundred dollars a week and I

1853
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 6: was I'm talking about full blown my two yearl walking

1854
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 6: down aisles grabbing stuff, throwing in the cart, and however

1855
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 6: we about to make it happen.

1856
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna make it happen.

1857
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 6: So she had every toy that you can think of,

1858
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 6: and we didn't have a kitchen table. And one day

1859
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 6: I was doing a four of you and I didn't

1860
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 6: have anywhere to set up at. I didn't have no

1861
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 6: fancy lights, I ain't had no fancy setup. I literally

1862
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 6: was setting my phone up on like either a bottle

1863
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 6: or like whenever I can get close to me. At

1864
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 6: one point it was a boat the sugar, and I

1865
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 6: would just set my phone up on it. And her

1866
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 6: chair was in right there, and at this point I

1867
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 6: was probably like one hundred and fifty pounds them. I

1868
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 6: was shredded, I was lean ripped, and I was.

1869
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: Out.

1870
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 3: I don't feel like a superhero, but I remember vividly sitting.

1871
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 6: In that chair and I was like, if I can

1872
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 6: fit it, I'm about to make the video right here.

1873
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 6: And I made the video and somebody commented, like, what

1874
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 6: is he sitting on?

1875
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, this is have people talk.

1876
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 3: He's making people talk.

1877
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 6: So I was like, I'm about to just sit in

1878
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 6: from the own and that just became a thing, and

1879
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 6: especially with the Internet, you don't know what's gonna stick.

1880
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 6: Don't especially when you not even trying, like how you

01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 2: a lot longer had he not turned it up because

1889
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,479

1891
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 3: You ain't gone for four hours.

1893
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, for me, it was it was one of the

1894
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 6: situations where it was like I didn't even know it

1895
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 6: was about to be a thing, and it just so

1896
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 6: happened to be a thing.

1897
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 2: The Chipotle reviewed you, and you you reviewed as uh

1898
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: state case of deal, and I don't they liked it.

1899
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 2: I guess because they got they got they got a

1900
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 2: key a keeper.

1901
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 3: Deal slaying that saying.

1902
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 2: Because at one point in time, I think you interviewed

1903
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 2: It's like, man, they don't give you enough with all

1904
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 2: the portions.

1905
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1906
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 2: They might have kept that up for a week because

1907
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 2: they don't going back to the small portion size key.

1908
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying so for.

1909
01:20:58,200 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 3: Me, even the way that happened.

1910
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 6: So, there was a video that a lady named Lexis

1911
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 6: she put out and she so she goes around and

1912
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 6: she tries recommendations that employees make. So, like you know,

1913
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 6: if you work at a restaurant, you do things that

1914
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 6: other people don't do because you've been there all day.

1915
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 3: You just started messing with concoctions and whatnot.

1916
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 6: So her thing is that she goes around and she

1917
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 6: tries employee recommended. So she tried a place, I mean,

1918
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 6: she tried Chipotle, and employee recommended a state casey deer

1919
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 6: with fajitas and sour cream.

1920
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Right.

1921
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 6: So I just tried it, and I'm like, oh, this

1922
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 6: is amazing. In my mind, this is when Chipotle was

1923
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 6: like at the top of the top of the game,

1924
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 6: this when everything was fresh and like they said, it

1925
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 6: was my case that he was spelling how big it was.

1926
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 3: I tried it.

1927
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 6: I never in a million years thought that it was

1928
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 6: going to take off the way it was gonna take off.

1929
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 6: And I know that's a cliche thing to say. But

1930
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 6: a week after I post that video, I'm on the

1931
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 6: phone with the CEO of Chipotle and like you know,

1932
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 6: they'd be having a real long time tables. They set

1933
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 6: the zoom call up where the table was like I

Speaker 6: You gotta make sure you put it in the gear

1940
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 6: the right way because it's seyrup and all kinds of
