Speaker 2: Thank you? You know.

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get into it.

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Man.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: You were born and raised in day Ohio, yes, sir,

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: the birthplace of funk.

35
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: You got your starting ready in two thousand and Cincinnati

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: at w w IZF one point nine whiz from that

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: and that's what that was, basically your training grounds. Then

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: you moved over to Cleveland where you got the midday position,

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: and then from there you went to Columbus where you

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: served as a midday host.

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: Now, how did Houston end up on your radar which

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: you subsequently becoming the voice for Magic one O two's

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: the Quiet Storm.

46
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: So when I was doing radio in Columbus, Georgia, I

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: had reached the glass ceiling like I had did everything

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: I had. I had great numbers, I had a top show.

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: I even hosted a TV show on their like Government Channel,

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: kind of like the community show that comes on Sunday

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: mornings on the Box of Magic and Praise, but it

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: was that version but on the TV. And so I

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: thought I was gonna be a great programmer. But everybody

54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: there had been there for years. They ain't going nowhere.

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: It's just like, you know this, this is not any

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: room for me to program program director. Yeah, so like

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, programming the music and all of that. But

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: you know, folks weren't giving up their positions. And so

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: one day when I got off the air, just sitting

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: in silence. Now that I look back on it, I

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: guess it was a form of meditation. I was just like,

62
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: you know what, it's time to go, Like, you know,

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: I know my talent, I know my work ethic, I've

64
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: done everything. Here ain't nothing moving. So I took a

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: faith walk and just moved to Atlanta. Me and my

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend, we had moved moved to atlant I didn't

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: have nothing set up, so just moved up there with

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: faith walk. I was kissed one oh four. They were there,

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: was toying with me. You know, I went through the

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: whole rigamreau. The interviews didn't on air shift like all

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: of that, and then they just left me hanging. So

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: one morning I was going to get my teeth clean.

73
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: I just sent out a basic tweet like going to

74
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: get my teeth clean. As I'm getting dressed, my phone

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: rings and I see the numbers. It's seven one three number.

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, who's calling me from Houston? Because I'm like,

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: if it's seven forty five here, it's six forty five there.

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: So I answered the phone and it's Terry Thomas. She's like, hey, kay,

79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: you know I saw that you are not in radio,

80
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: like what's going on? And so, you know, I told her,

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: you know, what was going on at David's broadcasting how

82
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: I left, and she was like, you know what, I

83
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: don't have anything full time on air. I got some

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: part time positions, and I can make this digital position

85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: for you. Since and social media was just you know,

86
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: coming up in terms of Instagram and all of that,

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: she was like, you know, so look at your calendar,

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: see when you can come for a market visit. So

89
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: I chose like the third weekend in October. It just

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: so happened to be the very first Magic under the Stars.

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: It was with Charlie Wilson and Jill Scott. So my

92
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: real introduction to Houston was coming here, coming to the station,

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: going to that concert, staying in the Gallery of area,

94
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: just seeing everything. And I remember waking up that.

95
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: Saturday night, I was like, yep, this is home and yeah,

96
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: just came on through.

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, Houston came calling. Houston came calling.

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: In in in this business of radio, I like to

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: compare it to being an athlete off in times you

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: have to be ready to go to another city at

101
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: any moment. How does that impact your attachment with human

102
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: beings and even things.

103
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: It's wow, that's a great question. I just get up

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: and move. I mean, I'm a people person. So living

105
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: in these different markets throughout my career and really seeing

106
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: how you know us as black folk, we're the same,

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: but we're different and we're different regionally. Like I'm from Dayton, Ohio,

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: which is like Southwest Ohio, Dayton Cincinnati area. Like the

109
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: culture there was totally different than the culture up in

110
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: Northeast Ohio, which is Cleveland, and they were more you know,

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: East Coast, you know, through Rags and Thames, you know.

112
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 2: And then living in living in two parts of the South,

113
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: living in Georgia and seeing how you know Southern is

114
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: get down and talk, and then coming here to Texas

115
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: living in the Southwest, you know, it's it's different. It's

116
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: the same, but it's different. But in terms of that attachment,

117
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, when you grow a bond

118
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: with a certain community. You know, of course, you know

119
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: you hate to leave, but the other part is like, oh, well,

120
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm moving on a bigger, better, bigger and better things

121
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: and you know, meeting you know, more folks. So I

122
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: guess it ain't that hard of a transition. I guess

123
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: I just knew that I would make more and better

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: connections in the next city. But it was definitely like culturally,

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: it got me to understand us more. And I also

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: want everybody to know out there all cities, people in

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: the city say the same thing, like like oh, people

128
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: ain't buying tickets, like this is a walk up market,

129
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: or artists saying I don't get love from you know,

130
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 2: my own hometown. I had to leave and go away

131
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: and then you know, come back and let me listen.

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: It's the same story everywhere every city out and been

133
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: there and people say the same thing. So it ain't

134
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: the city, it's people.

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, why are people like that though, Man,

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: why is it? But but here's the thing, though, why

137
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: is it that oftentimes you have to leave home to

138
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: make it? Like why is it that you know, like

139
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: I think Getto Boys wanted the exceptions to the rules

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: because Houston embraced ust immediately.

141
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: And I don't know if.

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: It was because it was so many of us that

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: was attached, like Ghetto Boys, was not just the members

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: in the group, Like we had a real like movement. Yeah,

145
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: we had a whole movement going, you know, so it

146
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: was I guess it was a little different there. But

147
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: you know, I do hear a lot of that, man,

148
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: where people get offended about, you know, the hometown not

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: embracing them. And that's why a lot of times when

150
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: they make it, they leave because a lot of people jaded.

151
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they feel like I know artists right now

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: who I had conversations with, like, man, I just got

153
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: to go like Houston ain't doing it, Like We'll go in.

154
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: If you feel like you need to move to LA

155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: to make it, move, do what you gotta do, New York,

156
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do. I think I think the

157
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: hometown probably doesn't appreciate the artist and the art at

158
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: the time, maybe because they've been in dated and I

159
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: remember when I got here ten years ago, just hearing

160
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: the stories about Destiny's Child, like, oh, them girls were

161
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: everywhere like performing here and there, like we got sick

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: of them. I'm a boom And then you know, when

163
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: they blew up, it was just like all of that,

164
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: all of that, all of that, and so I think

165
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: for the city, they probably don't appreciate the artists as much.

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: And then once that artist or that group goes outside

167
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: and has that success, and then the town is like,

168
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: oh man, like we got something. Yeah, let's embrace him,

169
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 2: do it. I'm even guilty of that. I did that

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: with my home city of Dayton, Ohio. Like I really

171
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: wasn't claiming Daton at first, like I would say I'm

172
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: from there, but you know, people would associate my tides

173
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: more to Cincinnati until I saw the Unsung episode of

174
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: the Ohio Players and when they went through all of

175
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: the great funk bands and acts that came out of

176
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: date in Ohio, I was like, yo, like I'm from there,

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: like from day and like we got you know, we

178
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: got we had some fire come out of there. So yeah,

179
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: it's a weird thing. But I think once people really,

180
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: once they go away and they realize what they got,

181
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: then they want to claim it.

182
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: I think familiarity breeds content and that's what it is. Uh,

183
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: people like, who is He's just just the guy that

184
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: I grew up with. I mean I never looked at

185
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: him as easy special. Okay, all right, and now you

186
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 3: missed a hot shot. You still ain't nobody special to

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: me still, but he is really special. You just don't

188
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: want to, you know what I'm saying.

189
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: Like, really, I.

190
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: Think sometimes two people think that like once you make it,

191
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: they feel like you left them behind. You know, It's

192
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: like it's like but I but I also believe that

193
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: if you can't make it in your hometown, you can't

194
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: make it. No.

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is what I mean.

196
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 3: I know that some places that are very very small

197
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: places that have like one hundred people there or whatever,

198
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: but you still got to imprint those hundred people first. Right,

199
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, I think you got to print those

200
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: hundred people first. They got to see something in you

201
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: before you take off and go to LA or New

202
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: York or wherever you want to go to pursue your dreams.

203
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of these new artists. They

204
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: got to get their attitude and check man, because I

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: come across a lot of new artists and they just

206
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: have this air about them. Yeah, and all of this,

207
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, brud, like you got half a hit.

208
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: It may not even be had. You probably got a

209
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: quarter of a hit. And you acting like this like

210
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: I have met the biggest stars in the world, the

211
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: most down, most humblest people you will ever ever meet,

212
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: and here you are walking around with this entitrement like

213
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: sitchoss down somewhere. Man, get a hit first.

214
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: Huh, you get a hit? Get a hit first. Man.

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: You are not a allowed person. You are not a

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: low frequency person. So a question that has been bugging

217
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 3: me is how in the hell does somebody like you,

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: who is so laid back, cool, calm and collective ends

219
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: up on a reality show called Ready to Love. I mean,

220
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: you got the love part right, right, but all of

221
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: the extra stuff that come with reality shows that is

222
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: anti KG smooth.

223
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: You are absolutely right, Willie D. And I got to

224
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: big it up to my listeners. My listeners are the

225
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: ones who encouraged me to do that show. So here's

226
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: how the story went. Late twenty nineteen, like November December

227
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, getting these folks dming me. They were casting

228
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: folks trying to cast me for the show. The first

229
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: person hit me up, I ignored it. Second person hit

230
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: me up. I ignored it. Third person hit me up.

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: I ignored it. So at night, when I'm doing a

232
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: quad stum one O two, I get on a magic

233
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Facebook live and I talked to the people and so

234
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm telling them, I'm like, yeah, like these folks from

235
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: some show ready to love on on like once me

236
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: to audition, like and I didn't know what the format was.

237
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I'm too private, Like they're not

238
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: about to be following me up here at the station,

239
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: like at the house, Like I'm not doing that. But

240
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: my listeners was like, no, like do the show, like

241
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: if you find love great, but do it to raise

242
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: the KG smooth profile, raise the KG Smooth brand. And

243
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: I was like, are y'all for real? They was like yeah,

244
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: like do it. And so that next day, whoever the

245
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: last person was to hit me up, I hit them

246
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: back like Okay, I'll give it a shot. Within the

247
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: hour they called me with the first interview and then yeah,

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: I go on to do Ready to Love last resort

249
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: got eliminated halfway through. Unbeknownst to me, I was a

250
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: fan favorite. People were in their feelings of how and

251
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: why I got eliminated. And then that next season they

252
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: brought me back as a surprise, and you know, and

253
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: and I found my love now Amber. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

254
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: that's just crazy.

255
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, are.

256
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: No, No, how long did it last?

257
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: About? Uh? About nine months? Now?

258
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: I heard when when when you first did the first

259
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 3: episode that you did, you got eliminated because of your

260
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: reluctance to play the game. He was really looking for love, Like.

261
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I really really really was. Yeah. Because

262
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: I didn't know, I didn't know what the format was.

263
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: I didn't watch any of the other other other episodes.

264
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: I had only watched two episodes before we started filming.

265
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: I had watched like the very first episode of season

266
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: one and then like the the reunion of season two,

267
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: just to just to get an idea of what I

268
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: was getting myself into. Because I always thought, like, Okay,

269
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: if I were to do reality TV, I turn it

270
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: up a notch for entertainment purpose, but not with the

271
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: show like Ready to Love, like you you have to

272
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: be authentically you and that's the thing. And to everybody

273
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: else out there that wants to do reality TV, you

274
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: got to know who you are as an individual before

275
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: you go and do something like that, because if you don't,

276
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: you end up exposing yourself. You're going to expose yourself

277
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: to yourself, and you're gonna expose yourself to the rest

278
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: of the world. And I think if you ask some

279
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: of my castmates, they would like to erase that part

280
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: of their lives out because some folks was moving with

281
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: ill intentions and it came back to bite them in

282
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: the ass and it got displayed on television. So if

283
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: you don't know who you are as an individual, it's

284
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a rap. You're gonna expose yourself to everybody

285
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: and even yourself, and you ain't gonna like what you see.

286
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: What was it about Amber that made you choose her?

287
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: You know she was she protected me and she she

288
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: was guiding me along the way. So I had just

289
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: had my spiritual awakening or my you know, reaching that

290
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: higher level of consciousness if you will. The veil was lifted.

291
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: So December twenty first, twenty twenty, when you know black

292
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: when black Twitter was saying that we were going to

293
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: get our superpowers on that day. That was the day

294
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: of the Great Conjunction. That was when Jupiter and Saturn

295
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: were as close as they were in like what eight

296
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: hundred years. This was Monday, December twenty first, twenty twenty, okay, yeah,

297
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: and social media was talking about how we get how

298
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: melanated folks, black black folks get our superpowers on that day.

299
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: And so I'm hearing about that, I'm hearing about the

300
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: Great Conjunction, and the girl that I do yoga with

301
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: I call her up. I'm like, yo, is there something

302
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: that I should be doing or you know, because I

303
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: want to receive what the universe is given and you know,

304
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: give it back. And she was like, no, just the

305
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: fact that you are aware is enough. So that day,

306
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, they were talking about on the news how

307
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: you could see the Christmas Star an hour after the

308
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: sun goes down. So I decided to go to the

309
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: park ground and just look at the stars. The the

310
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: sky was so beautifully clear with start. I had never

311
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: seen so many stars in my life, Willie. And then

312
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: I see one moving, and to make a long story short,

313
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: things started happening. My body's tingling, first, head hard, and

314
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: gut basically, the Kundalini energy had risen and all of

315
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: my everything was open, and the aha moment came and

316
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: the veil was lifted, and then the magic started happening.

317
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: And so what made me choose Amber was because she

318
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: was she was there with me along on that journey,

319
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: because it was fresh. I'm filming this show. Production thinks

320
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: that I'm nuts. My listeners are thinking that I'm crazy

321
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: because I'm talking about things because I have this new enlightenment.

322
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: And then you know, the vaccine comes out and I'm

323
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: trying to warn people about the vaccine and I get

324
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: dragged hell and back. It was a lot that had

325
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: went on. But Amber, she protected me and she was

326
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: there for me, helping me with dealing with all of that.

327
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: And that's where the real bond came in. Y'all didn't

328
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: really get to see that on the show, but yeah,

329
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: that was it. Did you think you were gonna marry her?

330
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know. You know, I was going with the flow.

331
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: You know, I knew that I was intentional and and

332
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: I wanted something real, and we you know, we got

333
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: along great. I mean, you know, just things, just other

334
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: things happen, Yeah, you know, but I mean marriage crossed

335
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: my mind, you know, but I was like, we got

336
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: we got to get through the rough first, like let's

337
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: see if we if we can, we can make it

338
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: to two years, then you know it's all you still

339
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: be leaving love? I do? I do. I mean, I'm

340
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: not in a romantic space right now, you know, still

341
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: healing from that situation if you will. But you know,

342
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: when I'm ready, I'll be ready. But the ladies is

343
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: they be on it though I got something. I want

344
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: to devote them ways and devote they way in my life.

345
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, yoh hoh on shorty, like you know, not yet,

346
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: you'll know when it's time.

347
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 3: Deboring a woman being very aggressive in a relationship. Is

348
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: that attractive to.

349
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 2: You because it's like it's like, you know, I'm you

350
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: ask me something, I tell you. You you hear me,

351
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: but you're not listening. But yet you still want to

352
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: behave and push yourself, you know on me when I

353
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: just explained to you like this ain't where I'm at now.

354
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: If you you know, if you want to hang out

355
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: and have fun like yeah, but I'm not trying to

356
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: get super duper serious right now, Like I'm not even

357
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: trying to share my sexual energy with you right now.

358
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because I know the attachments

359
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: that come along with that. And you know, and once

360
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: you realize that and no, about soul tize, you are

361
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: very selective with who you who you stick your penis in.

362
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying now, did you?

363
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: Well you always this way about sexual intercourse with women

364
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: as far as like the waiting.

365
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: Period, No, it wasn't until I had When did that come?

366
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: Once the enlightenment came and just realizing how powerful that

367
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: energy is. Just sharing that energy and getting familiar with

368
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: soul tides and having that really exposed to me, and

369
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: I was like man like. And then it started thinking

370
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: the back of other past relationships or situationships you know

371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: that I had, like, oh, this is why I couldn't

372
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: move forward because I'm still holding on to whatever they

373
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: had going on in they life that attached on to me.

374
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: And it was just you know, it was that rabbit hole.

375
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: You know. Some people that they're not ready for all

376
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: that talk. They think it might be you know, crazy,

377
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: but no, it's definitely I know, you know, it's real.

378
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: I feel you, brother, I feel you because like you,

379
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 3: I was like that at one point and and I

380
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: had an epiphany. I was like, it's a it's a

381
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: it's a different type of calm that it's very difficult

382
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: to explain the people who have never experienced it. And

383
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: this is why even today some dudes, when I say

384
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 3: certain things about what I won't do with a woman,

385
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: or how will I stain at times or whatever, they

386
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: can't imagine are you lying?

387
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: He ain't he lying? He lied like dog.

388
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: All I can say is that I'm not you, you know,

389
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: like I'm I believe in growth and I think when

390
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: you get there, you understand it like it's something. It's

391
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: something very powerful about it. And the trip part about

392
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: it is that when women know that you ain't humping

393
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: around or just going up in anybody, that they want

394
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 3: you even more.

395
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah. I had one say to me like, if

396
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: I was gonna have a babob with KG smoans, I

397
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: know he's got that good sparing because his energy is

398
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: always good and he respects himself and other people to around.

399
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, like yeah, yeah, this this would

400
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: be the good stuff. But let me tell you about

401
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 2: when I had mentioned seeming retention on the show and

402
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: it made its way to like e Knightley, Pop News

403
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: and all of this, and it was a thing and

404
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: I was getting dragged for it. But I'm trying to

405
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: explain to the fellas like no, like if you tried

406
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: like holding your seed at least for thirty days, like

407
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: you will feel like Super Mario with the Star. But

408
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: they're not hearing it, like oh, like I got a

409
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: bus and this, that and the third and I'm just like, Okay,

410
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: that's on you. But then Kevin Gates comes out and

411
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: he's talking about it and the benefits of it, and

412
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: then that finally got you know, some fellas are thinking differently,

413
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: and even young Nli Chopper talked about you know, seeming

414
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: retention and the power that it has. And all I

415
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: can say to my fellas that you know, want to

416
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: clown us for doing it or whatever, like you won't

417
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: know what it's like until you do it. Once you

418
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: get that feeling, because I feel so much more powerful,

419
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: like I can heal the world and conquer everything. Until

420
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: you know what it feels like to hold your seed

421
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: in for third thirty forty five, sixty ninety days, you

422
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: ain't gonna know what we're talking about. So something you

423
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: can't explain to something that you have to experience in

424
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 2: order to get but there's so much power in it, manifestation, instantaneous.

425
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: In order to do it, you have to have a

426
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: lofty goal in mind. Mine at the time was boxing.

427
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: You know, you have to be able to control your

428
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: sexual urges as a fighter, because if you can't, you're

429
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: going to get laid out. I mean, it really takes

430
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: a lot of energy out of you, and so you

431
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 3: have to practice that. You have to practice seeming retention.

432
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: I think sometimes I've went as long as six months.

433
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, that's a goal.

434
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like because you have to think to yourself,

435
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: I wonder what my opponent is doing. Just like when

436
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: I don't feel like getting up at five thirty in

437
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: the morning to go run because I'm sore from the

438
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: night before, I get up anyway, because I'm thinking, what

439
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: if my opponent is out there out there already, or

440
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 3: what if he's still in the bed. Let me get

441
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: an edge. I like to get the edge. I want

442
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: the edge. I won't always want to edge, so I

443
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: get up if I think he might be sleeping. I'll

444
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: go longer in the gym, I fight longer instead of

445
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: spawning for six rounds.

446
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm a spa for.

447
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: Eight rounds, because I think he might just be stopping

448
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: at six, or maybe he's not spawning at all, you know,

449
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 3: So you have to have a goal that's loftier, a

450
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: very lofty goal in order to do something like that

451
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 3: as a man, because sex is such a huge part

452
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: of our identity.

453
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: Get a Boys reloaded. Podcasts will be right back after Squint.

454
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this name. Can a woman

455
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 3: be a boss chick, be independent, be anti patriarchal and

456
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: still want a man to pay for everything?

457
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: No? And why not? No, she's got to pick a side.

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: And that had been my argument when that first that

459
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: first season is Ready to Love, Ready to Love, Last Resort.

460
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: When I got eliminated, it was due to the financial conversation.

461
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: And of course, you know, I led with a man

462
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: whos supposed to provide and protect, you know, the biblical term,

463
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: but for entertainment purposes, you know, they chopped it up

464
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: and you know, use the fifty to fifty, you know,

465
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: because in that instance, I was saying, how I was

466
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: giving all these examples like, oh well, you know, maybe

467
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: I'll take the mortgage and you take the car. No,

468
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: or we split the mortgage, or maybe I'll do the

469
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: mortgage in the car note and you do all the

470
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: small bills, like just all of these different examples. That's

471
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: where I messed up. I just should have you know,

472
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: kept it general, but it caused a whole lot of things.

473
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: But that's what I was saying to the women with that, like,

474
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: you know, you are the highly educated, the most educated

475
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: now making more money than your grandmama and your grand

476
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: your mom and your grandparents ever would have thought in life.

477
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: And you're just leading everywhere number one in entrepreneurship, you know,

478
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: starting new businesses like y'all are it. So you can't

479
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: say that I want to tear down the patriarchical structure

480
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: and be the boss chick. And yet still you want

481
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: to have the man paid for everything, like you got

482
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: to pick you got to pick one, you know, you

483
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: got to pick one. And so when that conversation will

484
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: come about, I'm just like, that's just something that women

485
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: have to ask themselves with side you know they want

486
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: to be on, but you can't. I don't think that

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: you can have it both. But if we get a

488
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: little deeper, you know, us men, we were put on

489
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: this earth to protect the woman. I mean, we come

490
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: from her. Look at us, we ain't nothing but the retarded,

491
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: clone meat version of a woman anyway. That's why we

492
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: got breasts and nipples that can't do milk. You know that?

493
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: Boy?

494
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like that? Hey, truth hurty,

495
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes the truth is offensive. But but yeah, so, no,

496
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: women can't. They can't. They can't have both. I don't

497
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: think so.

498
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 3: I don't think that you can have both. And I

499
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 3: also don't think that you can have it all and

500
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: be happy. I don't think that you can have it

501
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 3: all in all of it be good. Something has to suffer, yeah,

502
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: you you even men, men can't have it all. Something

503
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: has to suffer, you know, work has to suffer you,

504
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: personal relationship has to suffer. It's very difficult to strike

505
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: that balance. And if you look back at people like

506
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 3: a lot of successful people, highly successful people, like some

507
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: people that we may refer to as geniuses, a lot

508
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: of them were horrible in their relationships. A lot of

509
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: them have horrible relationships with their kids, they have horrible

510
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: they've had multiple significant others, just horrible relationships personal romantic relationships.

511
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: But on the business side or career side, you know, flourishing. Yeah, yeah,

512
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 3: you're right. I think that you have to. That is

513
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: a sweet spot, I think, but you're gonna lack in

514
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 3: some area. I think for me, I lack career wise

515
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: because I threw it all into my family and uh

516
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: but looking back, I wouldn't have thrown as much into

517
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: my family and here's what not not not.

518
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't take back any.

519
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: Of the love and the time and whatever attention or whatever,

520
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 3: but I would have instead of like not going on

521
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: some like tours and stuff like that, I probably would

522
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: have just said, Okay, let's get this tour bus.

523
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: You know.

524
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: But I wasn't thinking on that type of level. I

525
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: was like, Yo, if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna

526
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: do it like this, right. And so because I think, hey, man,

527
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: when when those kids are small, it's good to be

528
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: there and stuff, but man, they ain't gonna remember that

529
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: stuff no ways, like when they're really really small, they're

530
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: not gonna remember all that stuff. It's more important than me,

531
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: I think for you to be there when they remember

532
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: everything like that way, don't give them anything that they

533
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: can use against you. Because if they they could be

534
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: four years old, if they remember, if they remember the

535
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: father daughter dance and they had to dance with their granddaddy.

536
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 3: They egg gonna still be holding it against you. So

537
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: I say, you know, whatever memories that you want to create,

538
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 3: that you want them to have, you create them. You know,

539
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: to make sure that when they look back at your record,

540
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: you know they can't hold anything.

541
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: They can't hold anything against you. And that's important what

542
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: you just said there, like, look at what you want

543
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: and create that period in your life. I think people

544
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: need to they really need to get that thought process

545
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: through because it's just weird to me, Willie d. People

546
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: believe in everything else except themselves. It's weird. Y'all believe

547
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: in everything everything that's coming your way, from your precious

548
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: Jesus all the way down to your favorite show. You

549
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: believe in everything but yourself. It's weird.

550
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: But how do you how do you explain the people

551
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: who on the surface seem to act like they're confident

552
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: in themselves, but deep down inside they really don't, you know,

553
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: believe in themselves. I think a lot of times people

554
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: will use that fake confidence as a mask.

555
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah they do. Well, First, you got to get out

556
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: the victimhood, like you you create this life, your thoughts

557
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: really do create your reality. So if and wherever you

558
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: focus your attention is where you focus your energy. So

559
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: and I always say this to women, like, Okay, he

560
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: hurts you, he cheated on you with said woman. Instead

561
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: of you thinking about how you're going to get him

562
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: back and how you're gonna get her back, won't you

563
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: focus all of that attention and energy on yourself, on

564
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: you getting better and you manifesting a better man that's

565
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: going to add to what you already got, instead of

566
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: focusing your attention, which is where you focus your energy

567
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: on him and her, Like we got it, we got

568
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: it backwards, Like we have been programmed to think and

569
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: do the opposite of what they've been telling us, which

570
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: is looking in within ourselves. Everything starts and ends with you.

571
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: It ain't the white man, It ain't your mama, It

572
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: ain't your baby mama, It ain't your baby daddy. Is you?

573
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: That was another thing some people ask me, like, what's

574
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: the biggest thing that you learned about we're doing ready

575
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: to love? I was like that human beings don't want

576
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: to be accountable for their own shit. Everybody wants to

577
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: point the finger at everybody. Oh I did this because

578
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: you said this, or oh, you made me feel this

579
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: kind of way because I did this. No, bitch, you

580
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: did it because you wanted to. The devil didn't make

581
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: you do it. Everybody got this convenient devil they want

582
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: to place in as for their actions. No, you did that.

583
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 3: Well. I think everybody has a right to complain if

584
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: they think that they've been done wrong. But after you complain,

585
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: you have to do something about it. That's the problem

586
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: that I have when somebody don't want to do something

587
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: about it. You know, yeah, you did me wrong, but

588
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: now you know, this is what I'm gonna do. Yeah,

589
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 3: you did me wrong, but you know what, I shouldn't

590
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: even been fucking with you're in the first place. So

591
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: you put it back on yourself, and now you have

592
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: to be held accountable. Now you have to make some changes.

593
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: A lot of times people don't put it on themselves

594
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: because they don't want to be held accountable. They don't

595
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: want to change anything. If you acknowledge that it's you,

596
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: if you acknowledge that you are the one who owns,

597
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: you have stewardship over your lot in life, then you

598
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: have to make a change because you can lie to

599
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: everybody else, but you can't. Yeah, man, let's talk about

00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: he was like, hey, bro, like you a fan favorite,

617
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: people love you. You need to come out with something like

618
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: now like strike while the iron is hot, they could

619
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: be pencils, like they'll mess with it because it's you.

620
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, dang you right, And so Hope had called

621
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: me to host her signature event and she was like,

622
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: and so I wanted to circle back and see, you know,

623
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 2: are you ready to launch your own brand? And I

624
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, Hope, Yeah, I'm ready. Now

625
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: is now is the time? And so she crafted this

626
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: wine here Island Vibes. It's got quiet storm Island Vibes moscato.

627
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: It's a tropical blend, all natural flavors, vegan, gluten.

628
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: Free, vegan and gluten free. Yes sir, Now, now how

629
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: does one make a wine that's.

630
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: That is vegan? See great question. Everybody was like already, man,

631
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: So I just.

632
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: Got the thing on the side, yes sir, he be

633
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: the jud it is and it's cool.

634
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: So so it's all about how it's processed. I think

635
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: the little tab is in there on the side. So

636
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: it's all about how the wine is processed. Because sometimes

637
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: when it's processed, like they'll use man that from animals,

638
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 2: try to look at it on the on the tip,

639
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: like right up in.

640
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: Here, I'm looking. I think we gotta do it on that.

641
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: We're gonna let me go from the top, you see,

642
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: if I can get it.

643
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 2: So Yeah, So it's all about the process and how

644
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: it's processed because sometimes they'll use, you know, an animal

645
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 2: to sift through, uh, certain things during the processing.

646
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about the process, and they'll use an animal

647
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: to sift through.

648
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: So like you know how they you know, like uh,

649
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: like when they make greens and you know, they put

650
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: the ham hop you know, in the greens to like

651
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: and to induce the flavor. Like they'll do the same

652
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: thing when processing, uh, when doing wine escatto. Yeah, so

653
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: this is the moscatos. I wanted to start with a

654
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: moscato because one, ladies love moscato, and then also wanted

655
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: something that the women would love and the fellas wouldn't

656
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: feel weird about drinking. Now, it does taste a little different.

657
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't have as much it's not as bubbly as

658
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: a lot of the moscatos that I that you do

659
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: that intentionally.

660
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope does that intentionally. She does her thing.

661
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: You take any any particular flavors you taste.

662
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: It's kind of sweet. But man, I could drink this. Man,

663
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out exactly what is it?

664
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: Man, It's like.

665
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: I love it, say, bro, I ain't gonna lie. It's good.

666
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. And I was hoping I

667
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to lie. But this is good, bro, this

668
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: is good. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't have thought this

669
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: was moscato though. Really, yeah, I wouldn't have thought it

670
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: was moscato because you know, like I said, a lot

671
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: of the moscato has the super sleep. Yeah, but this

672
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: is something I could drink all day. I would, but

673
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of it's got it got a kick to

674
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: it though, so you gotta watch out.

675
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: You gotta watch out.

676
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: But I see what you did. You made it smooth

677
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: and sexy.

678
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's.

679
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 3: Got to live kick to it. So we'll sneak up

680
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 3: on you. It will make your mind play tricks on you.

681
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: You already know. Yeah. I wanted something that the ladies

682
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: would love and the men wouldn't feel weird drinking because

683
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: you know, I know how we are, you know when

753
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 3: In the entertainment industry venture out into other spaces. I

754
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 3: think that people that do entertainment are some of the

755
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: most sharpest people out there, some of the most sharpest

756
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: business people. Even though we you know, we had a

757
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: history of people getting shot at in the entertainment industry.

758
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 3: But as of late, over the last couple of decades,

759
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 3: people in an attend industry industry have really shown a

760
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: great sense of business acumen, you know, like it's it's

761
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: been very, very exciting to see on my behalf because

762
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: I am a businessman and I like to see people

763
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 3: doing it on a different level, going into those different spaces.

764
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 3: When you decided to do this, did you own a

765
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: business before that?

766
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: No, I did not, just being booked independently to do

767
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: voiceovers and you know, produce spots over the scam demock

768
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: during the thick of the scam demic.

769
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: Actually I never heard that phrase, but yeah, yeah, I'm

770
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 3: with that.

771
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 2: D Mars had reached out to me his book. Yeah,

772
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: shout out to d Mars. He has his book Finding

773
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: Your Treasure Chest, and he wanted me to do the

774
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 2: audio book for it, and so I voiced the audio

775
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: book for that. So just doing you know, little things

776
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: like that, this is this was my first time. This

777
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: is the first time entrepreneur.

778
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 3: I like that you don't jump on everything, and that's

779
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 3: consistent with who you are as a man. You don't

780
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 3: just buy into everything. You don't co sign everything. You

781
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: don't jump on every moving train. You wait for the

782
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 3: right opportunity. You wait for that train that you're supposed

783
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: to be on.

784
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I like that thank you, thank you's, and

785
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you peeped at that's intentional. A young

786
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: lady had that I ran into on an event last week.

787
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: She's like, man, like, you know, I see you everywhere

788
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, no, I don't try to

789
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 2: be everywhere. She was like, well, you be at the

790
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: right stuff. Right there we go. I'm at the right stuff.

791
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: I ain't everywhere. I'm at the right stuff. So I'm

792
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 2: glad that I'm making the right moves. And one thing

793
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 2: that I've just dawns on me, you know, for someone

794
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: like yourself to you know, acknowledge me and hit me

795
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: up and wanted to have me on this podcast, I

796
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 2: appreciate it love and gratitude. But what I've noticed is like,

797
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: you never know who's watching, right, You never know who's watching.

798
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that I am true to me and

799
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: I've been moving the same way these whole ten years

800
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 2: that I've been in Houston. And people they see that

801
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: and they know that that that I move you know

802
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: the right way. Yeah, because I'm not all about the

803
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: other stuff. Like you know, my Community show, I use

804
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: that that is specifically for the people of Houston. It's

805
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: for the City of Houston. Ever since I took over

806
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: that show on twenty fourteen, I intentionally use that for

807
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 2: organizations or people that want to come on and talk

808
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: about an issue that's not being talked about. You know,

809
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: the cancer clusters in Fifth Ward, Like me and Larry

810
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: we were the first ones to put them folks, to

811
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: give them a platform to talk about that. Larry Jones, Yeah,

812
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: fucking Larry Jones, Yes, sir. Yeah, So things like that,

813
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 2: and then the situation with that that propane tank that's

814
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: happened down there in Sunnyside, Like yeah, I use that

815
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: platform the Public Affairs Podcast for the City of Houston,

816
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: which has really been like my my key to the

817
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: city in a sense, you know, just having a lot

818
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: of you know, dignitaries and city officials and you know,

819
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: nonprofit organizations and just folks that got something going on

820
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: that the big you know, mainstream media or the you

821
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 2: know the bigger you know, the ABC thirteens or the

822
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: k h o us won't pick up. So I'm I'm

823
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: glad of that, and that's intentional.

824
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, where did the voice come from? Did your daddy

825
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: have a deep voice?

826
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: No? My dad didn't, honestly, he No, he didn't. He

827
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: was a musician. Though.

828
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 3: How old were you when you people started noticing that

829
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 3: you had a deep voice.

830
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: It was definitely after puberty. So it used to bug

831
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: me forever, Like when I would answer the house phone

832
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 2: and my mama's friends would think I'm heard. Yeah, they

833
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: would answer the phone, Hello Cookie, No, like this is Chris,

834
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: Like what is it? Yeah, But after puberty and then

835
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 2: in high school in choir, I was the director of

836
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 2: the choir in high school in choir, and we had

837
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 2: a we had a Christmas concert that we were doing,

838
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: and so my music teacher picked me and another gentleman

839
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: by the name of Mike Freeman. He played the piano

840
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: to teach the class a couple of songs, and so

841
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: I chose two songs off of Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas

842
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: album that we sang. So the day that I was

843
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: to teach the class the parts and whatnot, and music

844
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 2: teacher set up the PA system, the big speakers, and

845
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: I get on the mic and I get the classes attention,

846
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: like all right, everybody were about to get started. As

847
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: soon as I spoke, everybody shut up and turned to me.

848
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 2: And then you know, this was like, oh, Chris, you

849
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: sound good on the mic. And so that was my

850
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 2: first little inkling of oh okay, so all right, so

851
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 2: I got something here, you know what I mean. And

852
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: then just you know, growing up in church and just

853
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: singing in the choir like I never never really knew.

854
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: I just sang loud, like you know, just trying to

855
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: carry the tenor section, you know, and then my grandmother

856
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: would be like, you know, I always know when you

857
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: in the choir because your voice carries. So it was

858
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: it was a girl in high school and then my

859
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: grandmother that that's when I first kind of knew. And

860
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 2: then I would also notice in college, like being in

861
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: class in a lecture hall, like when I spoke or

862
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: wanted to answer a question, how my voice carried in

863
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 2: the room or in the lecture hall, and how people

864
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: would just immediately turn their heads and look at me

865
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: while I was talking. But I never knew, you know,

866
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 2: the power that it has, like like I do now,

867
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 2: even with little things, you know, suggesting books for people

868
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 2: to read or a TV showing whatever, like ever be

869
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: people listen. People listen to me, and I'm grateful for that.

870
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 3: You got that thing like comedians have. Some comedians have

871
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 3: that thing where they don't before they ever speak, people

872
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 3: are laughing because they got those Like Corey Holcom has

873
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 3: those expressions. Corey Holcomb can doing an expression and you're

874
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: just bust out laughing.

875
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: Because you already know, yeah, he's one of the best.

876
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 3: He has an advantage over everybody else, like you have

877
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: an advantage over everybody else with your voice because just

878
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 3: the voice alone, it captures people's attention. And then after that,

879
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 3: all you got to do is just not mess it up.

880
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 3: Like if you're in the club somewhere, can you approach

881
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: your chick? You could just talk to the chick and

882
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 3: be like, you know, like now, all you got to

883
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: do at that point it's just don't mess it up.

884
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 2: And the old me didn't even realize that superpower. I

885
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: was like, dang, Like if I knew it was just

886
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 2: easy to get women, like just by you know, talking

887
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 2: or just saying I would have been I would have been.

888
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 2: Did that you know? Yeah, that's wyld.

889
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: That's beautiful though, man, it's beautiful. You know, hey, you

890
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 3: got to use what you what you got to get, won't.

891
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, yes, sir, But no, I never even in

892
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: my mind. I'm like, man, there's plenty other voices you

893
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: know better than mine, and I think that's probably what

894
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: keeps me kind of grounded. I mean I know that, Okay,

895
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: yeah I sound good or you know, you may have

896
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: this look or you're successful here, but in my mind,

897
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 2: there's always somebody better. So don't get well, I ain't

898
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 2: gonna never get you know, a big head or ego.

899
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm been doing this for a long time.

900
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 2: If it ain't happened now, it ain't gonna happen. But

901
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: I guess what keeps me grounded, Well, I know what

902
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: keeps me grounded is knowing that there's somebody better.

903
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 3: I follow you on Instagram and I see a lot

904
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 3: of times when you post, when you post a picture

905
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 3: that's you know, provocative, you know, for the women, you

906
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 3: get a whole bunch of likes, likes, and comments. But

907
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 3: when you post this multi million dollar wine, you know,

908
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 3: it's a few likes and stuff, it's a few comments,

909
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 3: but it it's just never as many as nowhere close

910
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: to as many as you get when you post your

911
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 3: pics of yourself, does that ever like offend you? It

912
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 3: doesn't know, assume a more invested in and you and

913
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 3: your your sexuality.

914
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: They are with what you got going on.

915
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it.

916
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: Is a perplexing thing because I'm just like man like

917
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: y'all just a bunch of horn dogs out here. I'll

918
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: just want to see skin because to your point, if

919
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 2: I post something provocative or showing some skin likes and comments,

920
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: they running up post something positive me at a you know,

921
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: community event or like you said, my wine is it's crickets.

922
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know really what that is about. I guess,

923
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 2: you know, women are just horny. I guess like I

924
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. It is the weirdest thing

925
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 2: and another weird thing being an entrepreneur now. And this

926
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: is like everybody in the past that you have shown

927
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: up and supported for how they don't when it's your time.

928
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 2: That's another that's another realization, like dang, like I would

929
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: think that you would show up to this or maybe

930
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 2: support or buy a model, but it's been crickets. Like,

931
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: oh okay, I peep, you know, I mean, I ain't

932
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: gonna say nothing. Like you, you showing me who you are.

933
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 2: But what it has taught me is like, dang, Chris,

934
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 2: you can't expect you out of other people.

935
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 3: It's true. I never how long have you been doing this?

936
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 3: Because I never even knew you you was doing a

937
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:05,000

00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 2: this game. You know you're coming out tonight. And I'm

1090
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: just like a, you know, maybe maybe or whatever, and so,

1091

Speaker 2: you know, nice meeting you, nice talking to you or whatnot.

1092
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: Get off the phone. Man. Two weeks later, that's when

1093
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 2: he was murdered. It was devastating to me. And he

1094
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 2: is responsible for my interview and style. Like that's why

1095
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm a conversationalist. So like when people come in and

1096
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: they you know, they they're nervous about doing this interview

1097
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 2: on the community show, I just tell them, like listen,

1098
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 2: I'm not a Q and a type of interviewer. I'm

1099
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: a conversationalist. We're just gonna sit and have the conversation.

1100
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 2: And I think people can feel that when they're with me,

1101
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: artists and you know, regular folks alike, Like they can

1102
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 2: feel my genuineness that I ain't gonna be on no

1103
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: fuck shit, you know, asking them about you know, their

1104
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: personal lives, which when I stay away from that when

1105
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: it comes to artists, that makes them open up and

1106
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 2: then they start talking about said situation that's going on,

1107
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 2: and I don't even you know, I'm not doing this purposely.

1108
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: He's just you know, the energy that I give. And

1109
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: so yeah, man, that was He's responsible for that, and

1110
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,720

01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,760

1137
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,919
Speaker 2: And he wanted to do some things, but I didn't

1138
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 2: stay there long enough, and then a couple of years

1139
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 2: later he you know, went on to glory. But yeah,

1140
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I got some stories. I want to write a book.

1141
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if if I wanted to be around

1142
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 2: everything that I you know, haven't told or havn't said,

1143
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 2: because I don't talk to my friends or family about

1144
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: what I do or who I'm talking to, because I

1145
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 2: learned early on as pure as it is, and my

1146
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 2: intention is I'm just sharing what my life is my

1147
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 2: friends that are not in the same game. Like, no

1148
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 2: matter no matter how sincere I am, it's always gonna

1149
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: come off as bragging. And so I remember doing radio

1150
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: in Cleveland and a colleague of mind named Metallas Knight,

1151
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 2: and he's actually the PD in Miami at Power. He

1152
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 2: said to me, he was like, yeah, man, he was like,

1153
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: no matter what you say to your friends, like it'll

1154
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 2: always come across as bragging, you know, you name dropping

1155
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 2: celebrities or your experience with you know, being at this

1156
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 2: party in this city or whatever, It'll always come across

1157
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: as bragging. And so and I was like, you're right,

1158
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 2: and I felt that, And so I've never I never

1159
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: talked about my experiences with artists, people that I've interviewed.

1160
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Even my own brother, my youngest brother, who is my

1161
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 2: best friend. We FaceTime every day, Like I would have

1162
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: just gotten off of FaceTime with him and then interviewing,

1163
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, somebody like Jamie Fox, and then he'll see

1164
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 2: the picture on my story like bruh, Like you was

1165
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 2: just with Jamie Fox, Like we literally just got off

1166
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 2: the phone. You didn't say anything, and so it's just

1167
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 2: it's just that thing. Yeah and yeah. So but I'm

1168
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 2: gonna write a book. I just don't know which angle

1169
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna want it to go, because I got some

1170
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 2: stories I've been in radio for twenty two years now.

1171
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: I got some stories. I just ain't never told them.

1172
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 3: You should tell them, You should tell them. Who is

1173
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 3: that one person that you interviewed and you reviewed the

1174
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 3: most that let you down?

1175
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 2: Hmm, that is a good one. I don't honestly, I

1176
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: don't think anyone. Everyone has been so gracious to me.

1177
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 3: It had to be somebody, because there's always that true

1178
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 3: celebrity that you'd be like, YO.

1179
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 2: Got it first time. Second time was cool. First time

1180
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: not so much. Tyrese Man just mean, just for no

1181
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 2: reason at all, had an attitude, did not want to

1182
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 2: do this interview, did not want to take the picture.

1183
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was mad because you know

1184
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 2: he was performing for our anniversary party that you know

1185
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 2: it was something through the label. Maybe he wouldn't getting paid.

1186
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: Like I'll be trying to give people the benefit of

1187
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 2: the doubt. But so set it up.

1188
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: Tyres comes into the radio station.

1189
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so we're actually we're at the hotel where

1190
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 2: the anniversary party is. We got this whole lot broadcast

1191
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 2: set up just like kind of like what we're in

1192
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 2: right now. I'm sitting there. I just got finished doing

1193
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 2: Shante more and then and you know, tyresee he's sitting

1194
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 2: there just he's next He's coming over. I'm like, yo,

1195
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 2: what's up man? You know just right? Yeah, hey, uh

1196
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 2: just very just very ashholeish, like did not want to

1197
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 2: do it, short answers, like it was. It wasn't good.

1198
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't good. His energy was off. I don't know,

1199
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. And then I noticed

1200
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 2: how he was like that with all of the men,

1201
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: with all the women. Of course you know he was

1202
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 2: being that, but he was. He was being a total

1203
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 2: dick that day. And it was very disappointing because you know,

1204
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 2: I admired him, liked him as an artist and actor.

1205
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 2: People in high school used to call me a Coca

1206
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: Cola boy because we was dark skinned and could sing

1207
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 2: and had, you know, a pretty smile or whatever. So

1208
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm a bond with buddy, and he was

1209
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 2: just not it was not it. I was like, yo,

1210
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 2: like that was it was tragic.

1211
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 3: But the second time, second time was cool.

1212
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Second time Tyree was cool. This was here and Hughes

1213
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Sin he was with Tank and Genuine when it was

1214
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:06,560

1217
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: I reminded him of that. I told him at that

1218
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 2: time and he was He's like, yeah, probably sounds about right,

1219
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,760
