1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, so here we go.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: I never really have introduced this podcast. Most of the

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: time it just starts off with an interview, and I've

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: never really formally introduced it. But this is the podcast

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: called Battleground. And you're probably thinking, what's battleground. Well, my

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: name is battle I do radio here in Nashville. I

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: used to do a morning show on ALT ninety seven

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: to five. It went away, and I'm still employed by

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: the company. I still a two weekends on one of

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: seven five the River and one five nine in the Rock.

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: But I thought, why not take these guests that stop

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: by to hang out in our studio and let's give

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: you more than what you can hear on the radio.

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: And anybody and everybody has stopped by.

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: We've had wrestlers, I've had Bob Sagett, John Witherspoon, you've

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: seen him in Little Nikki and the Friday Movies. Let's

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: see Bert Kreischer has stopped by and hung out. The

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: Lucas brothers have stopped by and hung out. There's so

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: many people that come in and hang out and we

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: just sit and talk. There's really no rhyme or reason.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: We just kind of opened the mics and just let

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: it go. So this is literally about anything and everything

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: we want to talk about.

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: We talk about it. It's not just wrestling, it's not

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: just comedy. It is everything.

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,160

Speaker 1: ex girlfriend. So King batches in the building. Let me

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: ask you this.

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is you were labeled as the

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: King of Vine, right and now when you think of

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: Vine after it's gone, you kept going and remain king Batch.

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: How does how did it all start? Who it all started?

48
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 3: I actually I watched Donald Glove?

49
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: You know Donald Glove? Oh yeah, yeah.

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: So back in college he was the one that was

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: transitioning from the YouTube so he started doing YouTube videos

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: and then he wrote for thirty Rock in the indie community,

53
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: and then he did the movies and the TV shows

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: and Atlanta and all that. So I was really just

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: following his career path and doing the and doing the

56
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: social social media.

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: So that's how it all started. Did stand up first?

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: Then I did the YouTube videos, then Vine, then Instagram

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: and yeah.

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: So I mean it's I can't go anywhere without scrolling

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: through social media without seeing one of your videos, whether

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: they be on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. So how hard is

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: it for you to go out in public? Because you

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: have that face that everybody knows. And my kid's about

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: to be eleven, and he like freaked out when when

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: he found out I was interviewing today, So how do

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: you handle going out in public?

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: I was wear hoodie easy.

69
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 3: But you know what's crazy now is people they could

70
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: tell who I am by like my jawline.

71
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: It's just in my face. Yeah, that's probably the most craziest,

72
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: creepiest thing to hear.

73
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: I don't understand one time when God's like, man, I

74
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: could tell by the way you walk, I was like,

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: you could tell by the way I walk.

76
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: I could tell about the back of your neck. This

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: is the most creepiest awkward thing in the world right there,

78
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: that somebody can do that. Yeah, and you know you've

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: got fans from all age grains. So you know, what's

80
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: your background, like, did you always want to do comedy

81
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: or was there something else in mind before the Vine

82
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: six second videos.

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: My goal was to be the biggest movie star in

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: the world. That was my number one goal. And how

85
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: I got there, I just didn't know. Uh So you know,

86
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: just like you know, Donald Glover did the did the YouTube,

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: I started doing stand up and after the stand up,

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: down to the YouTube. And then you know, one thing,

89
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: I did TV shows. I did Mindy Project, I did

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: a House of Lies, wild'n Out just on a couple

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: of TV shows, then did some movies and now I'm

92
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: just filming like maybe five or five or six movies

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: a year.

94
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: Now, Wow, five or six movies a year. And you

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: talk about being on a wild and out what's it like?

96
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: Cause you know that show is still going, So what's

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: it like in a day of filming for Wild and Out?

98
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: Wild'n Out is one of the hardest shows to do

99
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: because imagine just having to be on foreign whole day

100
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: like cause we filmed like three episodes a day and wow, yeah,

101
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: it's crazy. And it's a live audience, so each audience

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: is shipped out and a new one comes in, so

103
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: they don't know that you've been doing shows prior to that.

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: They just say what you have now, So you have

105
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: to give it your hundred percent and just go at

106
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: all times.

107
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Man, that is absolutely crazy. My guess right now, King

108
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: batches in the building one night only at Zany's ton night,

109
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: seven o'clock, twenty dollars tickets forty dollars. VIP gets you

110
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: in the door. So let me ask you this Vine

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: was a big thing. Everybody took off on it. Were

112
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: you expecting Vine to go away? Did they like come

113
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: to you and say, hey, look this is what's going down.

114
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: Vine's about to go No.

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: So for what it was, it was a It was

116
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: a collective of the top twenty Vine influencers. We came

117
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: together and we saw how much money Vine was making.

118
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: From us, you know, providing content for them, and we

119
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: just wanted to get a little bit of money, you know, how.

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: To pay a little break of the cut exactly.

121
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: And so we came and we talked to them and say, hey,

122
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 3: is there some kind of deal we can arrange where

123
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: you know, you guys help us pay our rent.

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: And they were not willing to do that.

125
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: So we came together as a collective, we did a

126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: strike and we stopped creating content for about three months.

127
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: And they saw the viewers just just go from up here,

128
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: it's a way down there, and you know, it ultimately

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 3: caused the destruction of Vine.

130
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: So the top twenty Vine people got together and basically

131
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: shut it down. Yeah, that is like that just goes

132
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: to show that if you get a group of people together,

133
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: what you can do together.

134
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: You can do anything. If people come together as a unity,

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: you could do literally anything.

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: Man, that is absolutely crazy. King Batch is my guest

137
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 2: right now. He's at zany tonight, one night only, twenty

138
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: dollars tickets, forty dollars VIP. So you've done so much

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: with Vine. You got a few movies out. Let's talk

140
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: about one of my favorite movies. You got out the Babysitter,

141
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: The Babysitters. Walk me through this movie, because for some

142
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: people that haven't seen it, I get the feel of

143
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: it's like scary movie that series.

144
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, watching it's a It's a movie that starts off

145
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 3: as a comedy.

146
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, it's a cute little comedy and that's

147
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: what I thought.

148
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it turns into like straight horror and

149
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: you're like, wait, what's going on? And then it goes

150
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: back into comedy and horror and it's just it's just

151
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: a mix of fun.

152
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: So it's It's The Babysitter. It's on Netflix. Belle Thorne's

153
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: in it, right, and it's it's just the He's his movie.

00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: to go watch it. Trust me, you're gonna love the movie.

156
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: You've also got some other movies. Uh, let's talk about

157
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,040

Speaker 2: half getting there filming that, this, that, and the other.

171
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: So it's it's it's pretty crazy. It's it's one of

172
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: those things where you just got to accept what it is.

173
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: Low budget movie. You go in, you do your thing,

174
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: You be professional, you show up on time. Uh, be

175
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: prepared for the for the script changes. We'll have a script,

176
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: but know that that script is probably gonna change right

177
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: when you walk on set. Instead of this line, You're

178
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: gonna say this line. And you just have to be willing.

179
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: It's it's it's part of the business.

180
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: You got to be willing to move around and and

181
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: a adapt to any situation.

182
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: And you know, there's an all star cast in the movie.

183
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: So explain to me how did all those.

184
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: People come together?

185
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, Katerry Cruz in it and everybody Retta. Yeah,

186
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: it's it was a shout out to them for actually

187
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: doing it because they saw potential in me, and that's

188
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons they took on the project.

189
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was a blast all of them. They

190
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: were so humble. Terry Crews such a nice guy, still

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: friends with him to this day. Yeah, it's it's it

192
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: was a blessing, really.

193
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: Man, that is I mean just it's just watching the

194
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 2: movie seeing the all star cast. King Batches in the

195
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: building one night only tonight at Zany's twenty dollars.

196
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: So let's kind of shift to social media.

197
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Over seventeen million followers on Instagram, right, absolutely crazy. So

198
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: let me ask you this, how does one increase their

199
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: followers on social media? If somebody's trying to get into

200
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: the same steps that you did, what can you tell

201
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: somebody to do that?

202
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: Wow?

203
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: If you want to if you want to increase your followers,

204
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: first of all, you got to follow me and uh

205
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: just put you gotta post, like you gotta be consistent.

206
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: Like a lot of people that think that there's an

207
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: easy way to do it, there's no easy way to

208
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: do it. Like if you following me on Instagram, you

209
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: see I'm posting a video every day, sometimes twice a day. Uh,

210
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: there's there's no days off. It's like it's like a

211
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: regular job. You know, you wake up in the morning

212
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 3: and you just gotta you gotta provide content because that's

213
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: what they want to see.

214
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: So when you talk about posting to video other days,

215
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: is there like a certain time that you have to

216
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: post or just.

217
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's times that that are, you know,

218
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: where you get your highest engagement. But if you start

219
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: looking at things like that, you'll you'll go crazy because

220
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: you'll start looking at the numbers and the likes and

221
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: the comments, and you just want to post content to

222
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: post content, and you want to do it mostly to

223
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: whatever makes you happy. You know, if you start providing

224
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 3: content for the other people, then that's when that's when

225
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: you start to go a little crazy, you know what

226
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 3: I mean?

227
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Right?

228
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: Uh, my guest right now, King batches in the building.

229
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: So earlier saw your post volute working in your hotel room.

230
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: You're doing pull ups on the doorframe. Have you ever

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: busted your ass doing that? Uh?

232
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them?

233
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: It broke time and really it broke, and I got

234
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: a couple of bruises to show for.

235
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: Does it like scare you when you're sitting there and

236
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: filming it and you're like, I'm gonna do this, do you?

237
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: And then you just eat it right there and you're like,

238
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: should I post it? Should I not post it.

239
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: That's the reason I don't go live. You know, if

240
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: I was on Instagram live, that would have been very embarrassing.

241
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: But no, it was.

242
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: It was cool that when I put the camera up

243
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: and I press record, then I can do whatever I want.

244
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 3: Right If my pants fall down, it's okay because Nobod's

245
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: gonna see it. Unless I get hacked, then we have

246
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: a problem.

247
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,160
