44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: You know, we never had a comedian on really yeah yeah, yeah, wow,

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: we never had any well, we had an actor on before,

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna say we never had anybody from the

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: entertainment space, but very few people. We got a lot

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: of musicians, rappers, stuff like that, but not really.

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that that's more in tune with the

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: people who subscribe to what you guys do? Do you

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: think that that's more Nah?

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: I think it has to do with people seeing it

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: as just entertainment and if you getting the business part

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: right right.

55
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: So when we.

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: Came to sit down with y'all, was like, yo, it's

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: important that these dudes a businessmen, like they smart as hell.

58
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: People need to see that.

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: So and I don't think it.

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's even thought about too much as

61
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: far as like people like because obviously we all know comedians,

62
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: we all know entertainers. But I don't think people even

63
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 3: look look at it from that standpoint like we want

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: to know the back story at this person, like you

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And that's the same thing I

66
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: feel with like artists and even athletes a lot of

67
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: times they don't necessarily know, like it's a lot that

68
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: went into Lebron becoming Lebron. Almost definitely, they just want

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: to tune into Game seven.

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: It's just like entertaining.

71
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: But like, yo, no, you're a person, you got a

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: hell of a story and you grinded your asshole.

00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean, we didn't know, you know, we

82
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: weren't in tune what you guys were doing at that point.

83
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: But after we had the conversation, we tuned in and

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: was and was really impressed with what we saw, what

85
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: you guys were putting out, because it was something that

86
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: we never seen before, especially with dudes that look like us.

87
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: You know, I appreciate that, I mean a little bit more,

88
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, clean cut to the outfit. This is the

89
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: nigga off the post for whatever problem that you've ever

90
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: seen a black man model and like an outlet, mall

91
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: like that nigga there and then him he's slick a

92
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: defensive end, but he tried a trick y'all. You know,

93
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: we know the back I ain't gonna give it all

94
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: the way up. These dudes are very verse, stick with

95
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: what they do, you know what I mean? Man?

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, but I'm interested in them the backstory

97
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: because I feel like there's really no like set school

98
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: to become a top comedian, Like you gotta kind of

99
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: figure your way out. Some people took the Saturn Night Live.

100
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: Some people, you know, go on the corner and tell jokes.

101
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: Some people like how is your route coming from DC?

102
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: Growing up in DC? Like how did you? Because I

103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: look at like every neighborhood got somebody that is a comedian.

104
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: I could tell jokes like you know what I'm saying,

105
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: but it's like, how do you turn that into an

106
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: actual professional feature family?

107
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 5: So like, how was you able to do that?

108
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: Well? Not to go all the way back, but like

109
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: I said, I was born and raised in Washington, DC

110
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: and my background was really different. You know. My father

111
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: was murdered when I was two years old and most

112
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: of the male influences in my family were you know,

113
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: in the street. So that was a lot of the

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: influence that I got growing up, and I thought that

115
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: that was what my aspirations should be, to be like

116
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: the dudes that I looked up to, And for a

117
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: while that was my goal. And I've been blessed to

118
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: always be good at whatever it is I decided to do.

119
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: And in two thousand and two, my uncle, who was,

120
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: like I would say, the person who assumed the father role,

121
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: the most consistent male that I had ever had, had

122
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 2: got murdered in two thousand and two. So that changed

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: my perspective a little bit because it scared me real

124
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: bad because he was one of those guys that you

125
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: see get all the respect and all the love, and

126
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: you know, he was like a superhero to me. So

127
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: when that happened, it changed my perspective on my you

128
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: know route, because I knew that this dude was a

129
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: thousand times tougher than I ever could be. Everything that

130
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: I know about being stand up and being a man

131
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 2: I really got from him, especially in the space that

132
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: I was, you know, aspiring to be a part of.

133
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: After he died, I realized that, you know, I dis

134
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: ain't the way, so I took some money that I had,

135
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: and I've always I started working when I was nine

136
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: years old. You know, I've been getting my own money

137
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: for a long time. I don't come from a household

138
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: where nepotism was prevalent in any way, so I've always

139
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: been able to generate my own income, even if it

140
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: was just you know, I started out working at the

141
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: barbershop brushing people off for dollars as a brush board,

142
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: and then I got a job and hold foods as

143
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: a bagger. And then you know, even when I jumped

144
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: out and started doing the shit that we kind of

145
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: all get caught up and when we come from certain environments,

146
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: I still always kept a job because I was taught

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: that you should never have more money than you can

148
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: account for if the government come knocking over the door. So,

149
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: you know, I worked at DTL and I've just always

150
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: been efficient and making my own money. But at that point,

151
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: I knew that I had to take a route that

152
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: was less traveled for where I come from. So I

153
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: took some money and paid for me and my partner

154
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: to go on a college tour for all of HBCUs

155
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: from DC all the way down to Florida, and honestly

156
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: we went to where I ended up going to Winston

157
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: Salem State. And the reason I picked the college I

158
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: went to is because I seen twenty girls before and

159
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: I said, this ain't that bad. I didn't know anything

160
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: about college life up until that point because in DC

161
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: public schools, they don't you know, they didn't really teach

162
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: us about college. They really were just trying to get

163
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: us out of school safely, you know what I mean. Really,

164
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: we had a very high drop our rate, you know

165
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: what I mean. The violence was real bad, and you

166
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: know that wasn't you know, I got as counselors weren't

167
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: guiding you towards that they were pretty much gotten you

168
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: through real life issues. So once I went to Winsalem

169
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: State and then I applied to more House, it was

170
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: the only two schools that I applied to. Prior to that,

171
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: I was just doing enough to make sure that my

172
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: mama was satisfied with my schooling. But I knew that

173
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: I was always, you know, proficient in whatever I did,

174
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: so that when my uncle got killed, I started to

175
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: buckle down to get right with the academics. So I

176
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: went to more House, was supplied there, didn't get in.

177
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I got in, but I found out

178
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: it was a dude school, and I was like, that's

179
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: work on where I had no idea.

180
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: Oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, you applied

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: for more House and didn't realize it was all.

182
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: No because we didn't I didn't know, you know what

183
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying. They were on fall break when we went.

184
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: That was was a fall year, fall break when we

185
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: went down there, so the school was closed. So but

186
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: I just heard so much prestigious stuff about the school

187
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: that I felt like, well, this is somewhere that I

188
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: should apply to. And I got in. I did, and

189
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: then you know, when I found out it was an

190
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: all male school, I was like, Winston, sell them state

191
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: it is, you know what I'm saying. So I went

192
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: to Winston. You know, I majored in communications radio Television.

193
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: I graduated and I went to get a job where

194
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: I did an internship at at a news station in

195
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: Winston Salem, North Carolina. And they told me I was

196
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: gonna be making six dollars and fifty cent an hour

197
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: part time. I was like, no, I'm not, just because

198
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: of my like I said, my background, I've always been

199
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: able to to, you know, get my own in. So

200
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: I was like, well, if I'm gonna be I knew

201
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: this was the start of my life. The way the

202
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: world projects life and what a man is supposed to do,

203
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: I knew this was the start of it. So I said, well,

204
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: if I'm gonna be pawing, struggling, and then everybody telling

205
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: me you don't really have a choice but to be

206
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: paorn struggling at the beginning, then I'd rather be poor

207
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: and struggling building my own legacy than helping somebody else

208
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: that then took that elite Bill did and continue to

209
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: Bill did. So I decided to you know, figure it

210
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: out and that what that was gonna be. I had

211
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: no idea, and my homeboy Jerome saluted my boy Jerome.

212
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: He was like, bro, you should do comedy. You should

213
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: do comedy, and mind you, I had never been to

214
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: a comedy show at this point. I've always, you know,

215
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: spoke in front of people. I've never had a stage fright.

216
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: I've been speaking in front of people my whole life.

217
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: I used to host all of the stuff for my

218
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: fraternity when I was in school, and you know, I'm

219
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: an outpha. Yeah. So I hosted all of this stuff

220
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: for school, and you know, I was a person that

221
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: didn't mind getting on stage and was good at it.

222
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: So my boy Jerome was like, man, it's a comedy

223
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: club in Greensboro, which is about thirty minutes away. We

224
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: should go and check it out. They got an open mic.

225
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: It was the first and second Thursday of every month.

226
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: So that first Thursday we went and watched the show

227
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: and I watched this people bomb over and over again,

228
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: and I said, well, shit, I can at least give

229
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: it a try, you know what I mean. And I

230
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: ended up going home that weekend and had a series

231
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: of events that kind of made me realize that I

232
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: really need to do something that's of value because that

233
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: was my first time in one of my father's gravesite

234
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: and he didn't have a headstone, and that was a

235
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: big part of what made me realize, like, yo, I

236
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: can't go out like this. This dude is my father,

237
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: but they don't even have a headstone. And luckily for me,

238
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: my background has made it to where I could deal

239
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: with the reality of things that that's the way it

240
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: was always given to me. So when the lady showed

241
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: me the grass. My first thought was like, damn, I

242
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: hope I put these flowers on the right nigga, because

243
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: this is gonna be confusion. And that's truly my thought process.

244
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: But when I went home and showed my mom a

245
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: paper that they gave me at the graveyard, she immediately

246
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: broke down and cried and because they had is information wrong.

247
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: And that let me know that even though he didn't

248
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: do enough in his life to get a headstone, and

249
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 2: nobody around him that did enough to get him one,

250
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: he still had enough impact in love that after all

251
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: of these years, it could still make this woman feel

252
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: this way. So that means I got a special type

253
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: of energy. Even though I've never been given the explanation

254
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: of how to manage it, I had to figure out

255
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: on my own. At that moment, I kin kind of

256
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: confirmed that that's what it was for me. So I

257
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: went back down to North Carolina and I went the

258
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: next week to the open mic, got on stage there

259
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: four minutes. And it may sound crazy, but when I

260
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: got off stage, I swear it was like, that's what

261
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be doing, and I've been doing it

262
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: ever since that day.

263
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: That's crazy. So like, at what point was it like comedy? Like,

264
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: were you the dude in the school that everybody told

265
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 4: Joe's Like.

266
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: Nah, I mean that was you know, you come from

267
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: certain environments where everybody got jokes, you know what I mean.

268
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm from DC, Man and where I come from. Everybody

269
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: you had to be able to jone, to be able

270
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: to just be outside. So I wouldn't say that I

271
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: was the biggest class. I was always well known, but

272
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: I don't think I was well known for being funny.

273
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: I was just well known for the shit that I

274
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: was into, and I was just good at you know.

275
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: I was always a dude that had all the new everything,

276
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: and you know, everybody knew me for going to get

277
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: some money. That was pretty much what I was always

278
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: known for, being gonna hustle.

279
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: So once you once you decided you wanted to take

280
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: it serious, like I guess the next steps is just

281
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 3: comedy clubs?

282
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, actually no, not really. At that point, I

283
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: made a decision, another vital decision as to okay, what

284
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: am I gonna do. Am I gonna stay here in

285
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 2: North Carolina where I don't know anybody and I'm forced

286
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: to make it work? Or am I gonna go home

287
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: to DC where I have a support system, and it

288
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: might be a little easier now. At that point, I

289
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: had to realize that it was better for me to

290
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: stay down there because I didn't want to have to

291
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: deal with the repercussions of the failures that come with

292
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 2: entrepreneurship and chasing your own dream like it's one thing

293
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: if a stranger say you ain't shit, but if your

294
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: mama's looking at you like, baby, you ain't ate again today,

295
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: like it may, it affects you a little different. And

296
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: I knew my You know, I'm very big on not

297
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: caring about what people think about me because I care

298
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: so much about the people who matter what they think

299
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: of me. So I didn't want to have to deal

300
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: with that influence because I knew at that point I

301
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: didn't have enough understanding of what the game was to

302
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: be able to get through that. I would have probably

303
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: quit nine times out of ten, just because that influence

304
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: would have made me feel like because I know how

305
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: to hustle, so it would have made me feel like, man,

306
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: what am I doing?

307
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: Man?

308
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm broken?

309
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: Get it, you know what I mean?

310
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: Just get a job or get out here and start

311
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: doing something different. So I stayed in North Carolina where

312
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: there was no other option. This is what I gotta do.

313
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: And I figured, this is not a hot bed of entertainment,

314
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: like not too many people are coming to North Carolina

315
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: looking for new talent. So I figured if I could

316
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: make a name for myself there and make and build

317
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: a following there wherever I go, I would have had

318
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: that leverage, like I want to work with you, but

319
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: I've already shown you what my work is when I

320
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: show up. So that was my plan. So I stayed

321
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: down and started to just do open mics, and then

322
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: I got into a group. It was called NC Comics.

323
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: It was a bunch of comedians who just were trying

324
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: to They were funny and were trying to figure out

325
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: a way. So it's unlike Atlanta. A lot of the

326
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: guys that are starting Atlanta, LA and New York, which

327
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 2: are the you know, some of the mechas of comedy,

328
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: they already have their infrastructure built. In North Carolina, we

329
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: were kind of responsible for building the infrastructure that exists

330
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: there now in regards to comedy and people understanding that

331
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: there's talent dead. So doing open mics, doing open mics,

332
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: and you know, just going to do whatever I can do.

333
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: And we ended up starting a group called the Freestyle

334
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: Funny Comedy Show, which I have on my Chaine, myself,

335
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: Durren Brand during Big Baby Brand who's also cast Memmon

336
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: wilding Out was a cast Memon wild'n Out, beat Out

337
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: who was a casman Moon wild'n Out, my boy Burpie

338
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: who works radio at Charlotte Now, and my boy Drink

339
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: who also works radio, and beat Out works one or

340
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: two jams too. So we got together in two thousand

341
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: and nine, at end of two thousand and nine, going

342
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: in twenty ten and started this you know, Freestyle Funny

343
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: Comedy troupe. And then and we got to hustling as

344
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: a unit, you know, going to different conventions, getting booked

345
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: for colleges and doing our own show every third Sunday

346
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: of the month, and just hustling, you know, I mean,

347
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: building a repertoire of understanding the game. Even though it

348
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: wasn't somewhere where it was necessarily respected, we still were

349
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: getting our rounds in.

350
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: You even from that business standpoint, What was the influence

351
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: right like, because I mean after a certain point, how

352
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: many comedy tools did you see? I remember seeing like

353
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: the Kings of comedy, like and that was the first

354
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: comedy tourl but like, did y'all draw the blueprint from

355
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: that and said, like, yo, we have enough talent to

356
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: do that as well?

357
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: Uh No, I think that comes from I think that's

358
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: more on us the just the way you feel about

359
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: yourself side of the game in regards to what you

360
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: feel you possess and what you receive once you present

361
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: that to people. Because I can think I'm shit, but

362
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: when I get up and present it, if I don't

363
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: get that back, it's clear you got some reworking to do.

364
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: So I think what came with us is that we

365
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: all got together and saw the response, even though it

366
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: was just couple of people when it first started. We

367
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: saw that people cared about what we were doing enough

368
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: to come back again. So I think that's what made

369
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: us have the motivation to do it there. But as

370
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: far as what gave us the motivation to want to

371
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: be comics, that comes from just all different places. Like

372
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: I look up to so many different guys. I've always

373
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: been a fan of comedy, but I never grew up

374
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna be a comedian, you know, that was

375
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: never something that I thought that I would do. But

376
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: I've been a student of the game just because you know,

377
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: I was influenced by the people around me, and they

378
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: watched Deaf Comedy jam My mama had all the tapes,

379
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: and you know, my uncles and them used to you know,

380
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: the most influential comedian to me is Earthquake, because that's

381
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: who I saw the people who I looked up to

382
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: laughing at all the time. It's Comedy Central days, all

383
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: of that. So I remember we all watched Comedy Central

384
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: and you know, watching Duvall do the remix of the

385
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: and I know, did my seem strange? And all that.

386
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: The Chappelle Show and all of these different influences from

387
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: when I was young played in to my influence once

388
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: I started being a comedian, and I realized, oh, I

389
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: already got this bank of information and material that I've

390
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: been influenced by. Now I need to go back and

391
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: watch it and analyze it and see what I can

392
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: learn and see how I can become better, and see

393
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: what I can pick up and the rules of the game.

394
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: I read books, I did everything that I can do

395
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: to try to build my wealth of information and wealth

396
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: of knowledge in regards to the game, so I wouldn't

397
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: just be coming in thinking that my talent was just enough. Yeah.

398
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times people just think like

399
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 4: it's just get up there and starting telling Joe's Bloyd.

400
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: There's a method to this, like the timing of it,

401
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: even becoming a great writer, because I know that's something

402
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: that you've become over time.

403
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: It's like there's a process to that most definitely. Yeah,

404
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: it's definitely a process you learn through. You know, it's

405
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: trial and errator, you know what I mean. You get

406
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: up there and you know, like my first show, I

407
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: did the four minutes and I killed and I was

408
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: the shit. Then that next time I came back, I

409
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: bombed bad, I mean horribly, And then it's like my

410
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: first two experiences were or that, you know what I mean.

411
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: So I got the feeling of euphoria that you get,

412
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: and then I got the feeling of So I got

413
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: that early. So I knew what both of those were

414
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: and how to and I just started to teach myself

415
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: how to learn from both. So it's all just how

416
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: you take in whatever it is it is that you're doing,

417
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, especially with comedy because

418
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: it's when you're doing stand up, you stand, it's just

419
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: you flat foot with a microphone and your perspective being

420
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: projected out into a room full of people, and hopefully

421
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: your perspective can touch whatever it is that they got

422
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: going on something that they may you know, be going

423
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: through with something that they may you know, be ashamed of,

424
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: and then then thought they were going through a loan

425
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: and then they hear you talk about it, it's like, oh,

426
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: so you pick up those things through experience. So I

427
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: just think it's just you doing it that gets you

428
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: to the point where you feel like I'm good at.

429
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: What I do because I think that that's like, it's

430
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: very important what you said, because it's like for anybody,

431
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: you got to study your craft. And it's like it

432
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: reminds me of like a boxer, like you know what

433
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Like Floyd is somebody like they watch hours

434
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: of tape, so people, Mike Troy said, they might not

435
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: consider like that you're watching literally your out, you're watching

436
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: other comedians like watching tape for you know, like if

437
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: you athlete and just explain to people how hard it

438
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: is to do stand up because I always hear comedians

439
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: saying like stand up is the hard because like I

440
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: guess there's like comedians that are crazy funny, but they

441
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: can't do stand up like every just because you're a

442
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: funny comedian doesn't mean you can do stand up Like.

443
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: That's like public speaking is already the biggest fear for

444
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: most people. Not only are you speaking publicly, but you

445
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: got to actually try to make people laugh, which isn't

446
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: easy to do, like and you like on an island

447
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 3: by yourself. So like, how is that like nerve rap?

448
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Like how is the vibe on telling stand up jokes?

449
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 6: Uh?

450
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: You know, I think that the stand up game is

451
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: a little different than any other form of entertainment because

452
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: you know, you don't have the the luxury of being repetitive,

453
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. If I make a hit song,

454
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: I can perform that song over and over and over

455
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: and over again. But if I got to hit joke,

456
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: it's only a hit joke till everybody has seen it

457
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: and laughed at it. Now I can't show back up

458
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: and tell.

459
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: You, Joe, because I'm thinking, Like even with songs, by

460
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 4: the time I'm performing it already you.

461
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: Already know the words. But if I come and and

462
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: and do a and do a show and kill. When

463
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: I come to a comedy club and then I come

464
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: back and give you the exact same set again, you

465
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: donna feel like you wasted your I heard that. Now

466
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: there is a switch. There is a switch that gets

467
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: flipped when you get to a point in the game

468
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: where people start to fall in love with you so

469
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: much as they request certain things that you've done. But

470
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: that comes after a certain amount of time, you know

471
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: what I mean. But at the beginning, it causes you

472
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: to be you have to continuously, continuously write. And I

473
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: think what makes it so difficult is because people don't

474
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: know how to tap into what it is that they're

475
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: going through and make it relatable. Like anybody can get

476
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: on stage and tell a funny story, but how does

477
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: this funny story tie into something that you've been through?

478
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: How does what I'm talking about register into some experience

479
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: that might be completely different in regards to, you know, logistics,

480
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: but the same in regards to the overall aspect of

481
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: what happened. Like that's the difficulty of it, because if

482
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here saying, uh, Mike neck loose on his

483
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: T shirt, Like Mike got the loose neck on his

484
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: T shirt, Like it's you've probably had loose necks on

485
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: your T shirt before, But how am I gonna make

486
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: this situation relate to when you had your loose neck

487
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 2: and you had one, you know what I mean? Like

488
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: all of that counts. So I mean, I'm not come on, Mike,

489
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm just using Mike is my man. Mike already left

490
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 2: our podcast and just talking about his polo shirt, so

491
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: I would just using you see how I tied it

492
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: back in the shirts and the mic and there you go.

493
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: You know, I think that makes y'all incredible, man, because

494
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: you're super talented at like I'm trying to think like

495
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: when you started were you're writing sketches, because now I

496
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: feel like what y'all do is like almost it's almost

497
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: an impossible test.

498
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: Like y'all just do imprompt to comments that we never write.

499
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, like.

500
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: Y'all, whatever's happening in the moment, like with you and

501
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: LOS and DC when y'all get up on there, it's

502
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: like these dudes are freestyling, but it's in the moment, Like,

503
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 4: I don't how difficult is that?

504
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: Man? And when you practice to learn that, and that's

505
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: the crazy part for us. It's not difficult. That's with

506
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 2: the magic of it. Like we've never said all right,

507
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: this is we're gonna do bro Like sometimes we don't

508
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 2: even see each other till we right behind the curtain

509
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: for real, because we're all coming from different places. So

510
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: it's just a you know, it's kind of like when

511
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: you get the recipe right, and when you get that

512
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: recipe right, it's going to hit every time. And for us,

513
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: it's a natural synergy, like we kind of speak without speaking.

514
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: I can look at Loos and know Los can look

515
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: at Fly and no Fly can look at me and

516
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: no without us having to say anything. So for us

517
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: to be able to explain it, it's kind of difficult

518
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: because it's really never been done before in that capacity.

519
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: Like I don't know why, but you've never really seen

520
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: three guys who could go and do their own or

521
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: three stars caught up whatever you want to call it,

522
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: be on stage at the same time and share that

523
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: moment and be able to make it work. So there

524
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: was really no blueprint for that for real for us,

525
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: so we kind of created it. So it's really nothing

526
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: for us to practice because we're doing our shit, Like

527
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: and if we was to get up there and try

528
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: to do you know, somebody else's then that might require

529
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: some rehearsal because it's not natural. But what we do

530
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: is so natural that we don't have to really speak

531
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: about anything. We get up and we go. You know

532
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, if you watch them clips and it's

533
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: still be amazing to us when we watch them back,

534
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: because I'll say something like it was a clip we

535
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: just put out from the Savannah show a couple of

536
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and Los has said something and I say, yeah,

537
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: that shit sounded like make you happy, like a Disney song.

538
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: And then Los immediately started singing a Disney song and

539
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: we went into a Disney routine about getting our dig suck,

540
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: which respectfully with respectfully, I ain't never had a disrespectful

541
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: dick suck, but I don't know if I would turn

542
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: one down either the side. No, this is not that

543
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: type of podcast, but anyway, you know what I mean,

544
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't want, like I said, I do not want

545
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: to mess up, and I'm not trying to be the

546
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: person to come up here and switch your routine around,

547
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: you know that type of stuff, Like you can't think

548
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: of that, Like nobody would sit around and be like, hey, bro,

549
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: let's make up a Disney song about getting our digs

550
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: up and if you do, if you do, like it's

551
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: just something that you laugh at in the moment, like

552
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: that's crazy, but you're not gonna do it. We were

553
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: able to do it by just talking, you know what

554
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: I mean. So it's just a it's a level of

555
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: synergy and magic that happens that really none of us

556
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: can't explain or even care to explain. We just blessed

557
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: that God chose us to be the guys that present

558
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 2: that to the world.

559
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: It's like, it's kind of like kissing styles, Like I

560
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: heard them like when they go back and forth and

561
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 3: neither one of them write rhyms, they said, and so

562
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: they was like when they get in the studio, they

563
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: just know each other. So well, yeah, it's not like

564
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: they say like because they know they do like two

565
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: bars and then they'll do two bars. So you would

566
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: think that it's like all right, I'm gonna say this

567
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna say that.

568
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 5: And they was like, you're just like kissing styles. Have

569
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 5: you with a missing chat?

570
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's just like I mean, yeah, kiss and styles,

571
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: have you with a missing child? You know what I mean?

572
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: Bez and Grizzly Groul. It's just that that type of shit,

573
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: like that's some ship we'll do, you know what I mean,

574
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: Like we do that type of and it's just it's natural,

575
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Like we have never said, all right, bro on the

576
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: this show. We're gonna do this now. We all have

577
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: things that are interesting and entertaining to us individually that

578
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,239
Speaker 2: we all present, you know what I mean, Like I

579
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: love the culture, different places and music and and fly

580
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: just is wild and just know all the wild shit

581
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: and loss. Just the nigga that just has all of

582
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 2: the information like a wealth bank of just shit that

583
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: you wouldn't think that the nigga would ever have experienced

584
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: that he can just call to and know it like

585
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: it just happened yesterday. You know, all of those things

586
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: and things that we're all great at and we all

587
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 2: keep those elements involved when we're doing the show. But

588
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: it's never something that's practiced or rehearsed. It's just we

589
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: get up there and we do what we do. So

590
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: let's go back to North Carolina, right small place.

591
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: I mean, like you said, it's tough to find a

592
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 4: talent who discovers the talent like who gives you that

593
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: big break.

594
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: So it's like, now I'm out of here with this comedian.

595
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy. Young lady who I went to

596
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: college with named Dolly Bishop. She worked for Nick Cannon.

597
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 2: She was like his assistant at a time, and we

598
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: were cool in school and she was working with him

599
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: and Nick started, you know, he was doing the radio

600
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: show up in New York and he was doing fresh

601
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: Faces of comedy, like when he was just doing a

602
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: comedy night in Gotham in New York and he was

603
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: just presenting new comedians with her having that relationship and

604
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: knowing what we were doing. She's from North Carolina and

605
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: you know, went to Winston Salem State with us and

606
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: knowing that we were down there, you know, creating what

607
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: we were creating, and she was like, it would be

608
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: dope if you guys was to come up and do

609
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: the show. And I went up in the end of

610
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty ten and did the show. And that was my

611
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: first time meeting Nick. And when I got to the

612
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: comedy club, and this is Gotham, this is one of

613
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: the big comedy clubs. This is like one of the

614
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: New York you know what I mean, It's the mecca

615
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: so when I went to the guy who owned the club,

616
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I don't know who you are, so

617
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: you can't curse, can't say the N word, can't talk

618
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: about sex and all this, And I'm at that point,

619
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 2: that's all I was talking about. So me being the

620
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: person that I am, like, I've never really written jokes down.

621
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: I'll just walk around and talk to myself and get

622
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: it together. So I was outside walking around talking to

623
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: myself and Nick pulled up and seen me outside walking

624
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: and talking to myself. To mind you, we in New York,

625
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: so that's normal every day New York, so you know everybody, yeah,

626
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: walk past you. Just so I'm out there just walking

627
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: in circles talking to myself and he pulls up and

628
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: sees it. And I didn't even know that he saw me.

629
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: But when I went on stage, I did my set

630
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: about that day, Like I had to ride the bus

631
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: from LaGuardia to my hotel and I had to get

632
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: on the bus like the city bus, you know what

633
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean. And I got on the bus in Queens

634
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: and the first thing I said on stage was like, man,

635
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 2: y'all need to start changing the names of shit around here.

636
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: Because I got on the bus and queens and the

637
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: Queen is the last thing I saw on that, but

638
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: it was, and it just I didn't Occupy Wall Street

639
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: was going on, and I told a joke about Occupy

640
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 2: Wall Street. I was like, I can't go down there.

641
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: I'll be wasting the people's time because they down there

642
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: worrying about the way that Wall Street is, you know,

643
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: robbing and pillaging and taking away from the American people.

644
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: I'm down there with a sign that says we should

645
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: be able to get changed out of ATM machines. You

646
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like you don't always need twenty dollars.

647
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just need a dollar eighty seven cent, Like

648
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have to risk on you thirty bucks when

649
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: I only need a dollar eighty seven. So I'm doing

650
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: all of that on stage, and when you know, I

651
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: ended up killing And when I came off stage, Nick

652
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: stopped me and was like, Yo, bro, did you just

653
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: was you just outside making all that shit up? I

654
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: was like yeah. He was like, man, I'm around some

655
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: of the best in the game. They can't do what

656
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: you just did. Keep working. So that was my first

657
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: introduction to the shot. Fast forward a couple of years later,

658
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: I see a tweet that Nick says, I'm looking for

659
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: new talent. I'm bringing wild'n out back. So I immediately

660
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: hit Dolly like yo, this is real and she was

661
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: like yeah. I said, well just let me know whatever

662
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: that is I need to do, you know what I mean?

663
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: And Nick had a syndication, I believe, at a radio

664
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 2: station in North Carolina and Charlotte. So he decided to

665
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: do an audition to promote the radio show. And you know,

666
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: in conjunction with you know, him being having family ties

667
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: in North Carolina, he decided to do one in Charlotte.

668
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: So me and my got beat at, got my Saturn

669
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: View and drove Yah. Yeah, my Saturn they don't but

670
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: they they they motherfuckers from another planet. That got it.

671
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 2: That got me the where I go. So, uh we

672
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: drove my Saturn View to the audition. I did the

673
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: audition and Nick remember me. He was like, yeah, I

674
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: remember you, man, I remember you, the cat from Gotham. Man.

675
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You did your thing. And

676
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: I went in and did the audition and killed the audition,

677
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: and uh, that's really where it started right there. So

678
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: it came from me being in North Carolina and having

679
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: relationships with somebody who also was from North Carolina who

680
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: came up to New York and started to establish her

681
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: own you know, legacy and everything, and it just kind

682
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: of fell into place, you know, that that organic thing

683
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: that the universe does when when you make the right

684
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: decisions and follow the dreams that you're supposed to follow.

685
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: So that's where eighty five South comes from. Obviously you

686
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: guys are all.

687
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: On well no, no, no, no, no, no, well, yeah, the eighty

688
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: five South comes from all of us being Yeah, it

689
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: was just a brainchild of Lows like Los always, you know,

690
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: because he's our elder in regards to comedy. He's been

691
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: doing it longer than me and Fly, and he just

692
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: has an understanding of the game, you know what I mean,

693
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: because he didn't been in the trenches with it, and

694
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: he comes from Atlanta, where, like I said, there was

695
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: already infrastructure set up, so he knew certain elements of

696
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: the game and knew that, ay man, we gotta we

697
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: gotta you know, something gotta share, we gotta do something

698
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: that's ours, we gotta do something for us. So it

699
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 2: was always something that he was talking about doing, and

700
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: we have conversation. That's something that we do all the time.

701
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: We just build and build because conversation is is so

702
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: important and that's something that a lot of us as

703
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: black men take for granted, like that you to be

704
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: illegal for a group of niggas to stand around and

705
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: talk to each other, that you can't do that and

706
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: share information. So we take pride in that. So we

707
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: always building and talking about the things that we can

708
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: and will do. Even within us starting to make history

709
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: within the space of out, wild'n Out, we still were like,

710
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, what else can we do? So once it

711
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: kicked off, it was just really loose knowing that with

712
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: him having the foresight to know that, man, we got

713
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: something different. So we got to figure out a platform

714
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: that we can be who we want to be all

715
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: the time. Because we can be who we want to

716
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: be on wilding Out, But there's still a you know,

717
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: terms and conditions that have to be followed in and

718
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 2: a structure that has to be followed that was created

719
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: before you, and out of respect for the culture and

720
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: everything that goes along with it, you got to follow that.

721
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: You can break out of it here and there, and

722
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: those moments, you know, create historic moments. But at the

723
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: end of the day, it's still a functional structure that

724
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: you have to follow. With us, we wanted to be

725
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: able to do whatever we wanted to do whenever we

726
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: wanted to do it, however we wanted to do it,

727
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: And that's really where it came from. If it came

728
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: from us being on Wilding Out and then realizing that

729
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: this is a springboard. It's giving us a light, it's

730
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: putting a light on us. So now people are looking

731
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: at us. So what can we give people now that

732
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: the light is on us? So I think was just

733
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: we give them everything. There's a lot of cast members

734
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: from Wilding Out. What was it about y'all three that

735
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: made y'all click up and say we can do this together?

736
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: Not to say that the other other cast members couldn't have,

737
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: but there's something special about the three of y'all. What

738
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 2: wasn't that excluded the others out? Well, I wouldn't even

739
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: say it was exclusion. Really, me and Los met before,

740
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: way before wild'n Out, Like we met at a college

741
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: show at Winster Selton State while I went to school.

742
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: We were doing the FFCS and he came down with

743
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Zuman Miller and did a set and we met there.

744
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: And then when we ended up doing an audition in

745
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: New York for wild'n Out, I didn't know anybody, you

746
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean, It was a bunch of people there.

747
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: But then he walked in and we saw each other,

748
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: and then from that moment we didn't been clicked up,

749
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And then Fly came in

750
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: a couple of years later, but Fly just was like us,

751
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like we have a certain

752
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: type of energy and a certain way we conduct ourselves

753
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: that he just was built for, you know what I'm saying. Like,

754
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: So when it got started, it got started in Atlanta,

755
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 2: would originally you know, Flying Lows Bend as though they

756
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: was located in Atlanta, and then me just being tied

757
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: into what we already was doing. It was like I

758
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: was calling in on the phone while I'm doing my

759
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: FFCS shows, and in North Carolina, I'm calling it on

760
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: the phone while they recording mad because they won't let

761
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: me know what the studio is, you know what I mean,

762
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: Like those type of things we were doing just to

763
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: get the you know, just using all of that energy

764
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: that we had that we were in the process of

765
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: creating to build this up, you know what I mean,

766
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: no matter where how we can do it, whatever we

767
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: needed to do, we were going to do. So it

768
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: really wasn't even an exclusion of anybody else. It was

769
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: just that we all ready were clicked up. We already

770
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: were you know, had a brother relationship, and then when

771
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: it started to and we're all fans of each other.

772
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: That's another big thing, you know, not that we're not

773
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: fans of the other cast members on wild'n Out, because

774
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: we definitely are, but we're all genuinely fans of each other.

775
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: And in the eighty five South show is just a

776
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: reflection of the ship that we would do anyway. We

777
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: would be doing and talking these conversations and tripping and

778
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: having fun when it's just us. So why not, you know,

779
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: turn some cameras on and let the world see it,

780
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So that's pretty much where

781
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 2: it came from. It was just, you know, like I said,

782
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: this a natural synergy and we always at this point

783
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: we genuinely love each other like we brothers, so's it

784
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: makes it easy. One of the things that I've learned

785
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 2: about the comedy game is like a lot of niggas

786
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: don't fuck with each other. You know, they don't have

787
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: real relationships because comedy, like I said, it's an individual sport.

788
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: It's like everybody want to be the guy, want to

789
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: be the star. So it's very seldom that you That's

790
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: probably why you've never seen our format done before, because

791
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: it's like everybody wants to be somebody got to be

792
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: the guy, you know what I mean. And for us,

793
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: it was just that of understanding, Like, bro, I don't

794
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: all of us had a perspective that we know what

795
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: this do. But I know I think about it like

796
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: I don't care what you have. It doesn't matter what

797
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 2: you have. There is nobody on the planet that has

798
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: for me. What's for me is for me. And if

799
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: I can get with for me while you get with

800
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: for you at the same time, then brother, that's dope.

801
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: We're good, you know what I mean. So that's always

802
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: been our perspective. We don't care nothing about the way

803
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: things supposed to go. We're gonna do what we want

804
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: to do. That was the point of starting this shit

805
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: in the first place, for us to be able to

806
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: do whatever we wanted to do.

807
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 3: And I think you bring up a valid point as

808
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: far as I think there's an African proverb it's like

809
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: you can run fast loan, but you can run far

810
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: with a pack of course. So it's like and I

811
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: don't think especially Black people, we still struggle with that

812
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: as far as like understanding the power in working together.

813
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 3: And it's like, you know, for you guys to actually

814
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 3: do that, it's dope because it's like you said, you

815
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: could have started your own thing, yeah, and had you

816
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 3: do this and low stud that and DC just do that.

817
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 3: Y'all still have your individual brands, but it's like together

818
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 3: like the vult.

819
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's three headed monster man, you know what I mean.

820
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: And it's just you understand that. You know, like I said,

821
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: we build just on in general, and we understand the

822
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 2: transfer of information amongst black men. It's something that has

823
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: been strategically kept away from us. Like information is the

824
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 2: biggest weapon that's been used against our people. In my opinion,

825
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 2: it's the information that we've been denied and that has

826
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: been you know, kept away from us to where we

827
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: don't even have the mind state and a lot of

828
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: as a whole to even know where to go to

829
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: get it. That's why y'all are so dope because this

830
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: is not something that is being taught in the homes

831
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: in schools. So where do we go to get this information?

832
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: And it's the same way what we do. Like what

833
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: we do is showing that man, it don't matter where

834
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: you're from, what your background is, what street you from,

835
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: what city you from, what your background is, you can

836
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: build with your brothers, you know what I mean, And

837
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: you can build a legacy while doing it. You can

838
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: do something great. Don't be afraid to know rock with

839
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: somebody and mind you, there's certain you know, protocols that

840
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 2: need to be taken. You got to have a certain

841
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 2: character and moral and principle. But that's just in life.

842
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: So if you see somebody and they possess the morals

843
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 2: and principles and characteristics that you respect and vice versa,

844
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: then it's no need for y'all to ever feel like

845
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: you can't coexist and build something together, because that's what

846
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: we've been lacking. You know what I mean. You just

847
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: seen the video that for Real and jay Z put

848
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: out and yeah, and just seeing all of the camaraderie.

849
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: But in my mind, what linked all of that up

850
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: is that all of these people that are black somehow

851
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: came together. You know what I mean to make whatever

852
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: happen happen. And then now you see it in the video,

853
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: like you see how it all ties back in. But

854
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: somebody gotta be unafraid to rock with their brother. Now.

855
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: Mind you, it's a bunch of hard stories, and there

856
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: always will be. That's never gonna stop. It's always gonna be.

857
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 2: For every one success, you're gonna have three hundred. Man,

858
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 2: that nigga took all my goddamn money. Man, you know

859
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: what I mean. I thought Mike was cool, man, I

860
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: thought I could trust him. Then he came in with

861
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: a regular size call, and then I knew shit was

862
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: fucked up. So it's always those stories that come. But

863
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: you it's all in Life is about perspective and perception.

864
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: So it's all in how you view it. If you

865
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: choose to focus on the messed up stuff, that's what

866
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: you're going to project into your world. If you choose

867
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: to focus on the winning and set your mind and

868
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: negate all of the you know, blott of that comes

869
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: into your mind, and you'll be able to make some

870
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: cool stuff happen.

871
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: So when you guys were setting up eighty five South,

872
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 3: because I want to cause a lot of times like

873
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 3: entertain this, they get taken advantage of financially right, because

874
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: it's like even with.

875
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 5: Like I referenced the story a lot of Fat Joe.

876
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know that story, but like

877
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 3: he went to jail for tax evasion, and the reason

878
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: why he went to jail is because his accountant was

879
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: paying his bills for him and he never realized that

880
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: he wasn't paying his bills and he was actually like

881
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 3: stealing money from him. By the time he actually realized

882
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 3: it was too late, it was too late. He get

883
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: paid taxes in two years. And you hear a lot

884
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: of stories like Kevin Garnett sueing his financial advisors. So

885
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, a lot of times sports entertainment,

886
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: we just taught to just perform and not deal with

887
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: the business.

888
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 5: So like, how did you guys coming together?

889
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: Is one thing to come together as collective for your talent,

890
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 3: but not only are you doing that, but you built

891
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: a business brand as well, So like what was the

892
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: did you guys do that together or you had like

893
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 3: outside help to be like all right, this is what

894
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 3: we need now.

895
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: It's really it really was just a you know, a

896
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: conglomerate of minds that all had the same goal as

897
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: you know, Man, we can make this work, you know, Chad, Cat, Joe,

898
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: all of us, you know. But one thing I'll say

899
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: is Chad is is very meticulous, like with everything, you

900
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, and he has a you know,

901
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: a very very short patience for anything that isn't right

902
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: in his mind. And you need that. You need that

903
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: because if somebody is dedicated to a goal, and we

904
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: all supposed to be dedicated to that goal, I should

905
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: be able to send you into the room and everything

906
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 2: that's in my mind out here is being transferred in there.

907
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: And Chad, you know, he does that. So that kept

908
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: us away from a lot of the mind you we've

909
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: been through some financial goals in regards to dealing with

910
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: people who didn't have that mind state, but we always

911
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: knew that the common goal was the common goal and

912
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 2: keeping that and going through those ups and downs and

913
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: learning dealing with different promoters and not getting paid and

914
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to split the disc that

915
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: way and all of those different things. Uh, you know,

916
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: can be problems problematic if you're not if you don't

917
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 2: have transparency. Transparency is key, you know, everybody not gonna

918
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 2: have the answers all the time, but I should be

919
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: able to look you in your face and say I

920
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: don't know, and let's figure it out. But if I'm

921
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: trying to trick you into believing I got all the answers,

922
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: that's what shit gets messed.

923
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

924
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 4: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

925
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,400

Speaker 7: all you need.

971
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: Stuck, you know, that's what you get lost in translation

972
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: because I'm believing, like you said, I'm believing you paying

973
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: my bills. I'm believing I'm straight, when in reality, you

974
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 2: don't even know what you're doing or you're robbing me.

975
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 2: So that transparency is key and it gives. And that's

976
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: something that I say is very key with us, is transparency, good, bad,

977
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: or indifferent. We're going discussing it and chop it up

978
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 2: and we're gonna make it work. So I think that

979
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: saved us from a lot of people being able to

980
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: take advantage of us because and another thing is, we're

981
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: not looking to fulfill your dreams. Were looking to fulfill lives.

982
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: So you can't come in and tell us what you

983
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: got for us if it don't match what we want

984
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: for us. And that's so important because a lot of

985
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 2: people don't have what they want mapped out, you know

986
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, or what the bottom line is mapped out,

987
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 2: so they'll go in and get sold to somebody else's dream,

988
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: this big dream of how things are supposed to be

989
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: and this and that and all these different, you know,

990
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: glamorous lies that they tell you, when in reality, if

991
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: you got your own goal in mind, you should be

992
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: able to walk into a room and say, this is

993
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 2: what we have, what do you have? And how can

994
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: we merge this together and make it bigger? If not,

995
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: we'll just keep doing what we're doing over here, because

996
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: we already got it in order, and we don't need

997
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: you to come in and add your flavor because the

998
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: kool aid already got enough sugar water and everything. Over here.

999
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: We're not trying to get the kool Aid flavor able

1000
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: to taste different. We're just trying to get it shipped

1001
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 2: to some places that we might not have been able

1002
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: to get to because we don't have the infrastructure of

1003
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: connections that you have. But as far as us, that

1004
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: transparency is so key that we know we got the recipe.

1005
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, the recipe is the recipe.

1006
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: We built that up. So anybody who doesn't fall in

1007
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: line with that, you know what I mean, God bless you.

1008
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 2: But we're gonna keep working the way we're working and

1009
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: then whatever comes of that will we'll be able to

1010
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 2: stand on it and be cool with it. So how's

1011
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: that work. Are y'all still involved with wowing Out?

1012
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 5: No?

1013
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: Well, nobody's involved, Nigga, you don't watch the news because

1014
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 2: I was thinking.

1015
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: I'm thinking in terms of like prior to all this,

1016
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 4: like are they trying to get anything like out of

1017
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 4: the conversation, Like y'all are in the same area, So

1018
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 4: like y'all branch off in your own independent thing.

1019
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 2: It was still going when Well originally started this. Yeah

1020
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: we did. We did Wilding Out eighty five. We did

1021
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: an eighty five episode. Oh yeah, yeah, we were able

1022
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 2: to do both. You know, one thing I you know,

1023
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: of the many things that I say about Nick is

1024
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: that you know, he ain't in your pockets. He not

1025
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 2: one of them people that you know. It wasn't no

1026
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: three to sixty deal. It wasn't like a situation where

1027
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 2: I right now, what y'all got going on? I need

1028
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: some of that. Don't nobody know you if it wasn't

1029
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: for me, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's not,

1030
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: it's not you know, he don't. He didn't run his

1031
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: situation like dollar Bill ran the Players Club, Like it

1032
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: wasn't that. So we were able to do everything that

1033
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: we were able to do while Wilder and I was

1034
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: still running, and we were going to continue to be

1035
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 2: able to do it if it was still running.

1036
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 3: That solid he feel about because like we see the

1037
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: music business and it's like before the nineties, you had

1038
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 3: to sign to a major record label to get on right,

1039
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: But now you got artists that's getting hot on TikTok

1040
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 3: and getting hot on YouTube, and the climate is changing.

1041
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: So for for like up and coming comedians, is it

1042
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 3: just because it's like before I guess you had to

1043
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 3: go through like Saturn Nite Live or Death Comedy Jam

1044
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 3: or it's like I feel like you had to be

1045
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 3: on television, but now you got YouTube, but y'all be

1046
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 3: in like a million use on average on your YouTube.

1047
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 3: And it's like comedians is getting hot on Instagram. There's

1048
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: a bunch of Instagram comedians shiggy.

1049
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 2: And yeah of course and respect all them guys. Like

1050
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: it's just a difference, you know, it's it's progression, you

1051
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 2: know what I mean. The world is going to continue

1052
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: to turn whether you're on it or not, and change

1053
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 2: comes with that. Like I think I was in the

1054
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: last I started in O eight, so I think I

1055
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: was in that last generation of comedians who started on stage.

1056
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 2: All the comedians now start on their phone. But that's

1057
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: just the way it works. It's no different than when

1058
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: you was able to walk through the airport without going

1059
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: through getting button neckerd damn near to get on a plane.

1060
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: That existed at a point, but then something happened and

1061
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: it wasn't like that no more. So. It's the same

1062
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 2: way the Internet came and it changed the format of

1063
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 2: how entertainment is consumed. The average attention span is between

1064
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: fifteen and sixty seconds now, where before it was thirty minutes.

1065
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: We grew up in increments of thirty minutes, Like you

1066
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: would sit down for thirty minutes and watch Martin and

1067
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 2: commercials and you know what I mean, Like it just

1068
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 2: the way. It's all in how you consume information. And

1069
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: eventually this will be outdated and it'll be something else.

1070
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: So it's just the transition. Now. The hard part is

1071
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: when you come from a certain time and then you

1072
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: have to transition with the change. That can become difficult

1073
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 2: for a lot of people because a lot of guys,

1074
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: a lot of the older guys don't have any respect

1075
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 2: for the Instagram comedians because they started on their phone.

1076
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 2: Like getting hot on your phone is easy. Like if

1077
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: it's easy, you should be able to do it because

1078
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: it's clear you funny, you've been doing stand up killing

1079
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: on stages for twenty years. Why can't you do the

1080
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 2: same thing on here? Because it's the grind is the grind.

1081
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: You can't cheat the game. You're gonna have to figure

1082
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: it out now, mind you. There's you know, intricacies in

1083
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 2: regards to comedy, because stand up comedy is an everlasting

1084
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 2: art form. It's never gonna go anywhere. People are always

1085
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 2: gonna want to see. It's one of the oldest you know,

1086
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 2: the court just and all of that, and the you know, village, idiot,

1087
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. It's always been there.

1088
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 2: Just like music, It's one of those things that will

1089
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: always be around. So somebody's gonna figure out a way

1090
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 2: to get it out there so it can be consumed.

1091
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 2: And if you can figure out a way to do

1092
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: that within the structure of how it works at that time,

1093
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 2: then you're good. So at that time when it was

1094
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: Saturday Light Live and Death Comedy Jam, that was the grind,

1095
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: the grind was going and doing a hundred dates until

1096
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: Somebody See You and all of that now is getting

1097
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: a million views on the video, getting the shade room

1098
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: to post, you getting the you know a world star whatever.

1099
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: I mean, not for getting knocked out, but you know,

1100
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: just just any platform that did. Because I don't just

1101
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: want to say that and be like Nigga, all I

1102
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 2: gotta do is you know a world star, bro, I'm

1103
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 2: gonna make it. I'm gonna go knock somebody out today.

1104
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying any platform that has,

1105
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 2: you know, became large within the structure of the way

1106
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 2: information and content is consumed now with the fifteen to

1107
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: sixty second model, if you can get on and put

1108
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 2: on through there, or get somebody who's popping on here

1109
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: to post you or show you some love. That's just

1110
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: as difficult as it was to to get on, but

1111
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: it just happens a lot faster, you know what I mean.

1112
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: It's just as difficult to make it happen, but once

1113
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: it happens. Now, you know, if you got on Death

1114
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: Comedy Jam, you had to wait for the shit to

1115
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: get filmed. Then you had to just like when Wilder'nout

1116
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: came on. We shot the first season of wild'n Out

1117
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: in January. It didn't come on till July, so that

1118
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: whole time we didn't did all this promo saying we're

1119
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: gonna be on TV, and then people are like, nig

1120
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 2: you sure you gonna tell you not to trust that.

1121
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: We don't know, So we didn't know until it came on,

1122
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: so that that gratification took a long time. And that's

1123
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: the old model, you know what I mean. You get

1124
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: on TV and then it ain't came on until it

1125
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: came on. Until you see it on the TV, it

1126
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: ain't edge yet. So there's still a chance that until

1127
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: you see it come on that screen, that it won't

1128
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: happen With this is instant. Oh man, such and such

1129
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: as posted my video. There's no way you can deny

1130
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 2: that it's right there. So it's just that when it happens,

1131
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 2: it goes a lot faster, but it's still just as

1132
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 2: difficult to get going as it was back then.

1133
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 4: So in the time, like y'all were killing it right,

1134
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 4: y'all were going on your tours throughout the country, and

1135
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 4: then COVID happened.

1136
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did y'all pivot during this time? I mean,

1137
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. We've been blessed to build the

1138
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: platform to where we, you know, can do what we

1139
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: want to do, so we can still feed our audience

1140
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,479
Speaker 2: the way that we feed our audience. We just can't

1141
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: go touch the people, now, you know what I'm saying.

1142
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: That's the only difference. Now mind you did that hurt?

1143
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, I'm talking about I mean, listen,

1144
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: if you think the neck on his T shirt is loose,

1145
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 2: our jaws was like, hall my god, because we had

1146
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: what you liked and fifty dates, just eighty five dates

1147
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 2: all sold out, just fifty dates, Like you know what

1148
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean that we already had not including our own

1149
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: individual stand up dates like I went. I did my

1150
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: last live show March eighth in Nashville and they had

1151
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: just had a tornado come. So I did you know

1152
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of giveback for the people in Nashville because they,

1153
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of us were affected by that tornado.

1154
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 2: I flew to La. I was supposed to have a

1155
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: couple of meetings. Both the meetings got canceled because stuff

1156
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 2: was shutting down. This when they was acting like LA

1157
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: was like ground zero when it first kicked off. So

1158
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: I catch a red eye from LA back to Charlotte.

1159
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 2: By the time I landed from LA to Charlotte, all

1160
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 2: my shows was canceled or postponed through August. This is March,

1161
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: so just like that, And that comes from you know,

1162
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: I think that that is another blessing, just of having

1163
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: some sort of financial literacy and understanding. Like me, I'm

1164
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: so good with opinions and not caring about what people

1165
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: think about me. I lived in my college apartment for

1166
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 2: four seasons of me being on TV and didn't cares

1167
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: drove the sad of view until it just was like,

1168
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 2: br come on, but I'm done. It's old with I

1169
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 2: had three hundred thousand miles on that car when I

1170
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: traded it in three hundred. Well, yeah, if that's what

1171
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 2: you want to call it, like that, that's what you

1172
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 2: want to call it. Honestly, when I tell you that story,

1173
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 2: like when when I when I went to trade it in,

1174
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: I ended up getting a Cadillac. That was the first

1175
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 2: car got after I. After I traded it in and

1176
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: I went to trade it in and dude went in,

1177
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 2: you know, they sold me my car, came back out

1178
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 2: and was like, hey, man, you can't find nobody you

1179
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 2: can bless with this. Man, all I'm gonna be able

1180
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: to give you is five for it. I'm like five hundred.

1181
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: He was like, Nah, a five, bro, that's all I

1182
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: was able to give you for it. It was like that.

1183
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, like I was cool with that.

1184
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: I was cool with that. I was just like, you

1185
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: know what, it's whatever you want to do, whatever you

1186
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 2: can get me for it, give it to me, even

1187
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: if it's just pay for my tag. That's what my

1188
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: sad review did pay for my tags on my Cadillac.

1189
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: But it got me to a point where and by

1190
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 2: the time I got the Cadillac, I could a guy

1191
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 2: in it three Because that's just my financial model that

1192
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 2: just comes from where I come from the way I

1193
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: was taught. Don't buy nothing unless you can buy it

1194
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: three times. If you can't buy it three times in

1195
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: full cash, you can't afford it. That's just the way

1196
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: I was taught. So I stayed in my college department,

1197
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 2: paying five hundred dollars a month and just save money

1198
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: and didn't care that people were like, how you on TV?

1199
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 2: Still living here? I'm like, how you living here? In

1200
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 2: my business? Care what you think? You know what I mean?

1201
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 2: And I didn't move until it got to a point

1202
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: where it was just like my fame reached the level

1203
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 2: to where I can't be over here. It became a liability,

1204
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It was an asset. At first,

1205
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: it was an asset. Being able to write it was

1206
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: an ass Yeah. Yeah, it was an asset at first

1207
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 2: when I was still building it up. But then when

1208
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 2: it started to you know, I started to get that recognition.

1209
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 2: And I'm coming in from off a road trip two

1210
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: three o'clock in the morning and the niggas is coming

1211
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: out of the house. I told you live around here,

1212
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: keep my money. It's like, all right, it's time to

1213
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 2: move now. And I didn't until then. So just having

1214
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 2: that model, that personal business model that I always had

1215
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 2: has saved me during this time, because if I didn't

1216
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 2: have that mentality and I was, you know, just one

1217
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 2: of them guys that had to meet the expectation, keep

1218
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 2: up with the Joneses, as they say, meet the expectations

1219
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 2: of societal norms for somebody who's made it, then I

1220
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 2: would be sick right now because that means I have

1221
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 2: been trying to impress people who don't really care about

1222
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 2: what I got going on. And because I had the

1223
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 2: opposite of that. Now, even though all of this money

1224
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: that we've lost or that was left on the table,

1225
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: because you can't lose what you never had, but the

1226
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: money that was left on the table, it's like we

1227
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: can really get motivated by that, Like bruh, we had

1228
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 2: the potential to do this, then that means we got

1229
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 2: the potential to do triple this, you know what I mean.

1230
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: And that's what COVID really has taught us. It's like

1231
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 2: we got the potential to really go even further than

1232
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 2: what it is that we would and in fifty like

1233
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: now we realize we could have had one hundred dates.

1234
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying we could have had a hundred.

1235
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 2: So it's like it opened my eyes to you know,

1236
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 2: cause it's a lot of people who are not gonna

1237
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 2: come out of this. This is the shift. Twenty twenty

1238
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: is the shift. The shift is happening. If you're confused

1239
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: about it, don't be. The shift is happening. The things

1240
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 2: that were normal and that were on top and that

1241
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: was cool before, it's not going to be that way

1242
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 2: after this is all over. Because you can just see

1243
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: the way the world works, how things that we never

1244
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 2: thought could be taken away were stripped this year, like

1245
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 2: stuff that you I mean, the NBA got canceled for

1246
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 2: a minute, and school that they got furloughed from school,

1247
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,479
Speaker 2: like I didn't even think that was possible, Like things

1248
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 2: if somebody would have showed you a list of happenings

1249
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty in December of twenty nineteen, you the thought, man,

1250
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: get your fuck out of here, and they get out

1251
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 2: of here. What you're smoking? You know what I mean,

1252
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 2: that's impossible. It's not possible. So the fact that all

1253
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 2: of those things have happened this year shows you that

1254
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: you're not in control of the stuff that you try

1255
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 2: to control. You're only in control of what you can control.

1256
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: And when you realize that, you get to the point

1257
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 2: of no matter what we lost, we wasn't that wasn't

1258
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: that didn't define who we were. That was just a

1259
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 2: process of what we were. This was a result of

1260
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 2: us being who we are. So therefore we got just

1261
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: as much now even though the world has shifted, we

1262
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: have just as much power to move with the shift

1263
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 2: as anything else, just like the world wonna move with

1264
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: the shifts. That's the reason why my head is like this,

1265
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 2: like why I got corn rolls now, because it's just idea,

1266
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 2: it's just it just it just is its representative of

1267
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm not restrict to what your image of me is.

1268
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm not I'll never be restricted to what anybody's image

1269
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: of me is because when I look in the mirror,

1270
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: I love what I see, no matter what fact. And

1271
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 2: that's what is going on in twenty twenty now, Like

1272
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: we've all been restricted to the things that were stripped

1273
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 2: of us this year. Everybody, like to the point where.

1274
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 8: You're like, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this,

1275
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 8: and you mean I can't do this, and I gotta

1276
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 8: wear a mask and this that and the third and

1277
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 8: it's sickening to people because you've been restricted to thinking

1278
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 8: that those things were yours.

1279
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: But nothing is yours, but what's yours? And it's just

1280
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: a representation. This shit is mine. It's wherever it don't

1281
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: grow cool, but where it do is mine. So I'm

1282
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: just gonna show you that it's possible to do whatever

1283
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: you want to do no matter what's going on. You

1284
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

1285
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 3: You bring up a good point, especially for entertainers. It's

1286
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 3: like I think Rowdy Rich has said Snoop meek Mill

1287
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 3: Tolton once like save your money and your money will

1288
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 3: save you. And it's like a lot of times you

1289
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 3: make money as it entertained, and it's like you think

1290
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: it's it's never going to stop until it stops, and

1291
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: then it's like now you know what I'm saying. It's like, oh,

1292
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 3: and another thing is that you guys already had different avenues,

1293
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 3: so it's like you're not just relying on one thing.

1294
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I mean, Well, we're not gonna

1295
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 2: talk about how many avenues that.

1296
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 3: At the same point, it's not like if you was

1297
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 3: only doing live shows, you'd.

1298
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: Be yeah, no, right, yeah, we was only doing anything,

1299
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: we be screwed. But you know, and I may not

1300
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 2: even gonna say we be screwed, because all of us are.

1301
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about these things. We had these conversations,

1302
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: and you know, I speak about Chad a lot, you

1303
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 2: know when we talk about the business aspect of it.

1304
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 2: Chad is Chad like and that's one of the main

1305
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: things that I respect about him. Like he's going to

1306
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 2: be the same dude all the time. And there's a

1307
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty teaches you the importance of having that characteristic

1308
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 2: because what you allow to change your you know, natural

1309
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 2: being and who you are determines who you are because

1310
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 2: the things that can come in and affect you like

1311
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 2: you know being Like you know what I'm saying, I've

1312
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: been picking on Mike the whole time, and I can

1313
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: see him adjusting his collar, but you keep putting it

1314
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 2: over your mouth, Slim, That's what's causing it to be

1315
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: stretched out. But you know what, who cares As long

1316
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: as he cool with the fact that he got a

1317
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: V neck, regular neck, that's all that matters. You know

1318
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Yeah, you know what I mean. Like

1319
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm teasing, but the reality is I'm using that as

1320
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 2: an analogy, just to show you how simplistic it can be.

1321
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: Anything that you allow to change your perspective on who

1322
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: you are as a person will damage everything else that

1323
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 2: you have going on. So all of us, one thing

1324
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: I would say about all of us is involved in

1325
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 2: our family is we're all who we are one hundred percent.

1326
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody pretending to be anything that they're not. And

1327
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 2: I think that's going to push us way further than

1328
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: any amount of shows or anything, because the consistency and

1329
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: the realism that you see and you feel you can't

1330
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 2: fake that, and that you know can't. You can't put

1331
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 2: a price on it. There is no value to that

1332
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: because you see so little of it. And especially in

1333
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 2: this industry, people all do and say whatever it takes

1334
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 2: to be wherever they feel like it's going down at.

1335
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 2: And you know, when you get to a point where

1336
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: you're sending somebody into a room to negotiate for you

1337
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: or negotiate on your behalf, and you know, I ain't

1338
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,959
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to convince Chad to do shit.

1339
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: This nigga don't even like to smile all the way

1340
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: like he gotta have smile. So yeah, like I was saying,

1341
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna we were really thinking about doing it this way.

1342
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I heard what you said, but okay, like I was saying, though,

1343
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 2: like that's you can't buy that, you know what I mean?

1344
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: So I think that's what what what keeps us from being,

1345
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, in a situation like a lot of people

1346
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: that you see and a lot of entertainers are now like,

1347
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 2: you know, what what am I gonna do? Because a

1348
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 2: lot of people have been living check to check. You

1349
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 2: gonna live check to check no matter how big the

1350
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 2: check is, matter how much you may live check to check,

1351
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 2: no matter how big the check is. So you know,

1352
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 2: we just have a different perspective all the way around.

1353
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: Like our business model is completely different. That's why you

1354
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 2: see us affect the world the way that we have

1355
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 2: because all the way from the performance aspect to the

1356
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: you know, the boardroom aspect, it's all completely unique to us.

1357
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 4: So I mean, obviously you've created a legacy and you're

1358
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 4: doing that now I'm wondering your family, like your children

1359
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 4: now they watched it saying I want to be like

1360
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: that or are you teaching them lessons?

1361
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 2: And what lessons are you teaching them about financially well?

1362
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 2: First of all, I have a child. Man, your children

1363
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 2: know how many kids? I don't even know how many?

1364
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: Nah my daughter. I have a daughter that's twelve years old.

1365
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 2: And that's a if I can say anything, that has

1366
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 2: been the biggest blessing of COVID hitting is the fact

1367
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 2: that I've been able to spend time with my daughter

1368
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 2: that I would have never had under the old guard.

1369
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: And even if it goes back to when it goes

1370
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 2: back to whatever it goes to, that time is more

1371
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 2: valuable than anything that I could have gave her monetary,

1372
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And she understands what I do.

1373
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: Like the first five years of her life, I was present,

1374
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 2: you know. I was in North Carolina, she was there,

1375
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, back and forth to DC.

1376
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: I was able to be there for those formative years.

1377
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 2: And then she got six on up to this year,

1378
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 2: I didn't been just and I stop in, you know

1379
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 2: what I mean, make sure everything good, everybody good, everybody ate,

1380
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 2: ain't nobody feet dirty? All right? We good? You know?

1381
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 2: And then I would always take her and her friends

1382
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 2: on a trip for a birthday. You know, we would

1383
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: go some we've been at you know, Miami and you know,

1384
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Disneyland last year, just to show them, like, because I

1385
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 2: know the way that they understand the world. It's like,

1386
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 2: this is why I'm gone so much. I know it

1387
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 2: doesn't make up for the time, but I still want

1388
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 2: you to understand that me being able to do this

1389
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: is a result of me being on the road and

1390
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: doing all of this all that, and not only do

1391
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: I want you to be able to benefit from it,

1392
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 2: I want your friends and you and your close family

1393
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: to be able to benefit from it too, because as

1394
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 2: y'all grow, I want you to understand the importance of

1395
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 2: being able to share in success and share in things

1396
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 2: that you know. You don't have to feel like, oh

1397
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 2: it's something good, mind, you know what I mean. I

1398
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: want you to have the responsibility of knowing that because

1399
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 2: you are my child, and because I have the perspective

1400
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 2: that I have, it's gonna garner you a different responsibility.

1401
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 2: So I want you to start learning that responsibility as

1402
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 2: early as possible. So that's why I make sure I

1403
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: take her friends with her so she can know like,

1404
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 2: it's not just it's about you. But it's not just

1405
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 2: about you, because as you grow older, you're going to

1406
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 2: have a greater responsibility than a lot of people around

1407
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,439
Speaker 2: you because they haven't been as blessed as you are.

1408
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Because I was one of those people that at a

1409
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 2: certain point in time and I had to create the blueprint,

1410
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 2: and luckily for you, I'm creating one that you can follow.

1411
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 2: But your friends might not have anybody around them that

1412
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: can do that for them. So they can follow yours

1413
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 2: because they've been around it the whole time and they

1414
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 2: know it's real.

1415
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 5: So let me ask you this for you rap.

1416
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 3: So obviously, you know, Nick Cannon provide a lot of

1417
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 3: opportunities for most tellings, and people don't really I don't

1418
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 3: think they fully appreciate that. Like he really took a

1419
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 3: lot of people from not people didn't know who they were,

1420
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 3: and they were superstars after they left the show.

1421
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 5: So obviously, you know the situation that he's in right now.

1422
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 3: What's your opinion on that as far as like just

1423
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 3: not really like too much like on a personal but

1424
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 3: just like, how do you feel about like him not

1425
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 3: having that show? Like it's like to me, it's his show,

1426
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 3: but it's really not his show obviously now like we

1427
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 3: learned that as his show. I mean as far as

1428
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 3: like the legal yeah, fuck, all that, So like how

1429
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:31,959
Speaker 3: you feel?

1430
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 2: How I mean, you know what, Man, It's like at

1431
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 2: a certain point, I realize that there's not too much

1432
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 2: praise that come with being genius in your moves while

1433
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 2: you're still here on the planet. Usually, you know, when

1434
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: you die, motherfuckers be like, oh man, he was so

1435
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: great and he did all of these great things. But

1436
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 2: when you're here, it doesn't really resonate with people because

1437
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: they become accustomed, you know, and used to it. And

1438
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 2: one of the things that the main thing that I

1439
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 2: take from all of this happening is as much ship

1440
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 2: as people have talked about Nick over the years, when

1441
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 2: you see how much power he has in creating the

1442
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 2: stars that he's created and creating a platform that he created, Like,

1443
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: how do we not understand that it's just as important

1444
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 2: for all of us to carry that same mind state,

1445
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like it sucks, Like if

1446
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: I would did I did? I wanted that to be

1447
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: the way that it was going to end. No, I

1448
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 2: wanted us to go out in Vegas.

1449
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 5: Way.

1450
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 2: I wanted that to be if I had to pick.

1451
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I'm just glad

1452
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 2: that he had the vision to be able to put

1453
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 2: us in position to do what we did. And as

1454
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 2: far as the whole fallout goes, like, we haven't been

1455
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 2: addressed at all. So until we're addressed, and that not

1456
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 2: by Nick, like that's different, we you know what I mean,

1457
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Like he did everything that he was supposed to do.

1458
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: That was a family environment. So many black people employed

1459
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: by this show. It's so many people that came from

1460
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: that show, so many opportunities that were created from that show.

1461
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 2: We haven't been addressed at all. So as as a cast,

1462
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 2: none of that, we haven't been addressed at all. So

1463
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't even feel comfortable giving an opinion until we're

1464
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 2: addressed in some way because obviously my opinion doesn't count

1465
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 2: that much because if it did, then we would have

1466
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: been addressed publicly in some way, shape or form canceled.

1467
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 2: And I don't know nothing was said. I just know

1468
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: the shit don't come on no more. That's all I know.

1469
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 2: When I turn on TV on the days that it's

1470
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 2: supposed to come on, it's not. And that's all I know.

1471
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 4: That's crazy because like there was I mean for months,

1472
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 4: especially during COVID, that's the only thing that was.

1473
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 2: That's the only thing. A lot of people watch and

1474
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Yeah right, and you know

1475
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 2: who knows, but you know what I mean, it's kind

1476
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: of like, you know, for the cast for us, you

1477
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean, on the on the corporate side

1478
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 2: of the game, Like you know, it is what it is,

1479
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's kind of like if

1480
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 2: the best way that I can explain it is kind

1481
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 2: of like the way that that the Powers that Be

1482
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: presented it. It was like Nick and Viacoma getting the divorce,

1483
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: and it's kind of like the cast as the kids

1484
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 2: they got to stay out of grown folk business and

1485
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 2: at that and at this point, I'm staying out of

1486
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 2: grown folk business, you know what I mean. And I'm

1487
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 2: gonna leave it at that because I know how much

1488
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: that space not only means to us, but it means

1489
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 2: to us. When I say us, I mean us, that's

1490
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 2: our in Living Color. I was just thinking that, you

1491
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 2: know what I mean, that's our generations in Living Car,

1492
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: that's our generator. That's a black show that was you

1493
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 2: know what I mean, employee, black people had a black

1494
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 2: show runner, black executive producers, black people who I mean

1495
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 2: all the way down to the people who drove the

1496
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 2: vans from the hotel to set every day. A lot

1497
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: of these people went on to start their own media

1498
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 2: companies and all of that, Like this is a this

1499
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: is a structural platform that worked for us. So until

1500
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 2: us is addressed, then I don't know what the hell

1501
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 2: is going on. I just know I lost my job

1502
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 2: while I wasn't working it. I got fired on my

1503
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,839
Speaker 2: day off, not even on my day off. The COVID

1504
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 2: cut everybody off. And then it's just like we just

1505
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 2: was like, oh, it's over over, over over over okay,

1506
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 2: like ever ever it was over over, So it's you

1507
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I just you know, I'm just thankful.

1508
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 2: I'm thankful for the opportunities that Nick has provided for us,

1509
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: all of us are. And you know, as far as

1510
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 2: him personally, man Nick a big boy man, he'll be

1511
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 2: all right, you know what I mean. That's what I know.

1512
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen that dude do all types of magical stuff.

1513
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 2: He'll be straight. But as far as but wild'n out

1514
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: is and all of us, you know what I mean, Like,

1515
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I think that there should be more of an appreciation

1516
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 2: for what that space has brought to us as a people,

1517
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Regardless of whether or not

1518
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 2: how you feel about what happened, you know what I mean?

1519
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: And obviously Nick has apologized for what he said, so

1520
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it's nothing more to discussing

1521
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 2: that regard. He's doing what he's supposed to do directify

1522
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 2: that situation. But there's a whole group of people who

1523
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 2: are affected by this who haven't even been said hey, man,

1524
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 2: appreciate y'all or anything. And that doesn't just go for

1525
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: our generation. I'm talking about from the guys that were

1542
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 2: And that's how it started. Really didn't have any real

1543
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 2: information on like you know, the depth and wealth of

1544
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 2: information that you guys have, But it was just, you know,

1545
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 2: I go to the you know, it's it's a Shell

1546

Speaker 2: gas station by my house that I get all my

1547
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 2: gas from. So I bought Shell, Nike or some Nike

1548
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 2: because I'm you know, all that stuff that I used, Apple,

01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: And then it just, you know, I started to get

1552
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more in tune with it. I'm never

1553
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: mind you I would be lying to you if I

1554
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 2: said that I was as in tune and interested as

1555
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:58,920

Speaker 2: the advice, and you know, and that's the thing I'm not.

1563
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those guys that you know. The

1564
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 2: only reason why I know what I know is because

1565
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 2: I know I don't know shit. I don't know nothing.

1566
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 2: I'm willing to learn whatever. You know what I'm saying,

1567
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 2: and I'm willing to hear anybody out about whatever, even

1568
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 2: if I disagree with whatever we talk about. I'm never

1569
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,879
Speaker 2: too big to have a conversation. That's that's a value.

1570
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,839
Speaker 2: And what you guys are providing in regards to information,

1571
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 2: especially for black people is necessary because that's not something

1572
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 2: that I ever was taught in my life. I know

1573
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 2: how to go get some money out the street, but

1574
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how to go get some money off

1575
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 2: of Wall Street, you know what I mean. And that's

1576
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 2: something that we need to be taught. So, you know,

1577
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 2: salute to you guys, man for what you guys do,

1578
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 2: because it's so much information that's that's being skipped over.

1579
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 2: We're being gipt over in a lot of ways. And

1580
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 2: now we got somebody that's of our culture and of

1581
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 2: our background that takes value and teaching us this information.

1582
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 2: And even though I got started by just having that

1583
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 2: conversation that we had, this is no different than that,

1584
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, That's all it is. I'm

1585
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 2: big on that. Man. We gotta we gotta as black people,

1586
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 2: we gotta start knowing that man, we not I'm not

1587
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 2: just not the enemy. And it's gonna take some time

1588
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 2: because we didn't done so much damage in the process

1589
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 2: of having a different perspective. But bro, it's we gotta communicate.

1590
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 2: It's some game out here, you know what I mean.

1591
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 2: When we was hearing of Wall Street trapper talking about

1592
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,280

01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 2: and some dope. It's like he did not have anywhere

1598
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 2: near a million dollars worth of pistols of dope. He

1599
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,519

1600
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 2: of dope. But he's in jail for thirty years. So
