What 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.160 we got going on in stupid internet news this week, y'all? 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.840 Have y'all been following the blogs? I an't followed the 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.160 blogs during the goddamn monkey poks pandemics. I really be 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.720 having to like look for my news now outside of 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:35.720 social media nowadays. But I know everybody's been seeing this 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:42.400 Balenciaga campaign and they asked in hot water, and I 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.240 don't know if it got anything to do with how 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.240 they play with Kanye. I just don't know, but it 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.520 just seems like London Bridge is fucking falling at this point. 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.120 One of their ads, they're saying that they're not responsible 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.560 for the ad, and there they have like a twenty 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.040 five million dollar lawsuit against the company who did the ad. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.640 The photographer said he had nothing to do with that ship. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.760 He just took the pictures. This is essentially essentially like 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.920 product placement. So they had like a kid on, a 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.280 kid stand on the couch, a kid stand on the 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.960 bed like holding a Teddy Bear with like bondage little 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:22.560 outfits on, and there's like wine glasses and wine in 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.000 the picture. And this is for kids clothing. It's weird. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:33.680 It's given, really child abuse, it's definitely given, and the 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.520 kid did not happen. It's just crazy. It's just crazy 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.640 how they'd be putting this ship right in your face 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.839 like that. Yeah, they've been doing this stuff all the 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.320 time and they just they just expect people not to 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.480 notice it. But they've since taken down their entire Instagram page. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.760 They've deleted everything because people really started zooming in on 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.560 everything because there was another everything. Yeah, it was another 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.800 ad and they had like a court case, um where 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.799 it was like a court case for child pedophilia, just 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.839 just tucked away in a book. So you really the document. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.480 Oh wait a minute, actually that was from the photo 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.200 with the kid. The other thing that somebody pointed out 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.200 was actually like a woman at a desk like an 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:21.000 office setting, and there's a book on the desk, and 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.320 if you go look up the author of that book, 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.039 this book is just a bunch of naked babies. Why. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.760 I don't understand whether the point of this. People don't 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.760 believe in little little societies and little things these people 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.719 be doing. But they do it, and they they're sending 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.080 signals to their people like they know why they do it, 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.960 and then they're gonna act stupid. Once the regular naked 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.320 eye see the ship, you just gotta know what you're 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.279 looking at. I don't know, but um, Canada's ones was 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.880 digging in. Kim Kardashian asked, because she put a statement 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.360 people was looking for her like to denounce, like they'd 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.200 be trying to get uh, the presidents and stuff like 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.520 to their ounce white supremacy. Denounced this announced that denounced them. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.800 It's just a goddamn clothing line. Isn't it. It's just 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.200 a designer. How much money you are really tied up 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.280 with these people because they definitely denounced Kanye ass after 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.800 one tweet. But this is the type of ship they 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.920 can get away with. It's disgusting. The host the whole 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:26.839 ship is discussing it's weird. Damn. I bought some Valenciaga sneakers. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.320 I can't wear them, no, moha, you better put them 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:37.039 on the real real the big clunky as sneakers. Those 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:43.160 ships is the workout, yeah, they have. You never have 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.360 to want to run in those that stump a bit though. 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.520 So Yeah. During the last Monday's Night's episode of Loving 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.320 Hip Hop New York, Chrissy shared over the first dinner 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.680 Jim Jones had prepared for her in their sixteen years together, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.000 that she no longer felt it necessary for them to marry, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.599 despite the huge engagement ring one on her finger for years. Damn, 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.360 that's crazy. I think they did. I think they actually married, 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.800 and they do the ship for show, because there's no 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.880 way you want to be like the dumbest bit of 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.080 the century for this man. Remember she proposed to him 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.840 one year, Yes she did. Well, maybe she just fed 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.200 up she's fifty one. She's fifty one. That's just fine. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.960 She's nice, Yes, she's very because you don't have no 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.640 kids and she never got married, never been married. Mrs 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.640 would never have kids and don't get married. I always 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.200 look good for some reason, less stressed. But he's definitely 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.920 been stressing her, and that's just unfortunate. Like that's what 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.920 I feel like. I feel like it's just like for show, 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.600 like y'all, damn their family members at this point, Damn 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.360 near they are. They've been common law husband and wife 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.560 for a long time, regardless of the paper Jim Jones. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.920 So she I'm little older, and you know, the mom 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.360 kept urging her to have a baby and all this stuff. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.240 Like back then on the show. Maybe that played a 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.240 party because I believe he has a kid, at least 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.440 one or two kids. But I mean, if you if 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:17.880 you don't want to be with this one, you should 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.480 have let her go a long time ago, you know 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.040 what I'm saying, Like what he was doing to her 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.920 at that table, Like he got so upset because he 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.480 was like, well you want to get married at and 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.240 she was like, you haven't even asked me if I 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:34.439 still want to get married, Like you're skipping ahead some steps, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.080 that's what she said, some steps, and that's what men do. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.760 Like he was gas lighting the hell out of her 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.120 ass at that damn table, like all of a sudden, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:48.760 it's just all the problems he has, just just some 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.960 real I hate to just be calling all men narcissists, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:58.040 but it was some real narcissistic behavior. Mm hmm. I 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:03.320 have nothing to offer, but you brought it up. You 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:09.200 brought it up, and still nothing. Can Christie move on? 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.640 I need I need her to go get her like 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.000 a little sixty four year old daddie. Okay, no, she 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.800 needs to get her a thirty two year old daddie. No, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.920 so he can fund the ship out of her m. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.880 I don't know. Jim Jones being the gym girl, he 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.160 probably got some stamina. That's probably why her asks can't 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.640 leave him alone. Maybe that's what it is. I'd like 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:35.480 to think that's what it is. I don't want to 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.839 think about that. What else happened? Child? So, just like 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.440 a little while ago, Meg the Stallion put out um 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.720 opposed to her social media child. She's the first black 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.839 woman I hate those terms, but she's the first black 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:56.040 woman to grace the cover of Forbes thirty third. How 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:00.600 about that. That's congratulations to her and real hot girl 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.960 ship she had. I think, Megan say it had a 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.959 decent year in spite of all the bullshit. So little 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:12.920 Man is in court today also in court and her 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:19.800 homegirl umxl right had the parent court today, UM for 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.040 the assault of Magna Stallion. I really want to see 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.840 what comes out of that, and I hope, you know, 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:30.120 when all the truth or whatever comes out, um, people 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.840 apologize to her because I really feel like she was violated. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.160 So I'm happy, like she still pushing forward. She got 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.559 hern old label so funking with her all the time. 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.520 She had to put a restraining one on those niggas 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.400 and with all the ship that's going on in Houston, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.079 people was like, are you a snitch? What? Like they 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.920 literally like people literally dying and she has like all 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.720 these different men attacking her from every every is a 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.400 lot of you know what, It is weird that there's 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.960 so many men. I didn't know the stand that is 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.920 nothing but men? Why are not so angry with her? 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:09.720 Because she's too powerful? Right now? Um?

But the world was 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.360 better when you can check history when it was like 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:34.240 matriarchal lead leadership, Like there was no wars, none of 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.680 that ship you checked the fucking history books along with 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.320 all these the three major religions came patriarchy and it's 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.920 been held ever since. And I feel like men think 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.880 they're losing some power somewhere, Like they don't even see 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.640 the benefit of, you know, not having to carry the 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.320 load themselves, the invisible load for a lot of these guys, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:56.760 you know what I'm saying, because a lot of them 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.920 not not really showing up.

Um, it's not just a piece of company, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.640 it's a story, a story of one skinny dude and 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.160 two big guys and Slimming Huskies. Right, And so we've 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.960 been entrepreneurs since we started off with a moving company, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.520 built that up from the ground up. Uh, just three 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:31.600 thousand dollars, sold that for seven figures seventeen, turned around 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.960 and reinvested in ourselves and opened up a piece of shot. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.840 And we didn't want to just open up any type 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.840 of pizza shop. We wanted to represent who we were. 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.760 We had a love for pizza, art and music and 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.040 also our community. So we put our first, very first 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.080 concept in the middle of northern Nashville zip code three 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.000 seven two zero eight, which is historical African American side 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.680 of our city. Nashville isn't really known as a black city, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.440 but we have a lot of a black heritage home 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.000 in Tense State University, Fish University, Harry Medical College. Uh. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.400 And so we wanted to basically put a super dope 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.880 concept that we had worked hard for and reinvested our 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.120 heard hard earned money into into our neighborhood and in 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.640 return with rather to provide jobs, um and just become 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.200 a beacon of light to a neighborhood that didn't have 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.560 an open business for sixteen blockers consider the food desert 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.440 and uh, you know, just really just wanted to pour 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.080 in our neighborhood. So that's our stories. Three guys on 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:38.200 a mission to provide economic development, education and opportunities, uh 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.640 to people to look like us. Okay, how did you meet? Uh? 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.000 So e J and I man in second grade? So 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.520 e J really originally from acron Ohio. So he came 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.160 down his mom had a job down here, and so 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.400 we made a second grade. So we've been friends since 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.680 elementary school. And then uh we made Clint each actually 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:04.560 made a first high school. They within this program was 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.440 in Row in Rows. Yeah, they were in Rods together. Um. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:13.320 And then uh and then Clinton I. Actually we ain't 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.600 battle it out, but but you know we got a 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.400 little story where where growing up. He was in his 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.840 high school fraternity, and I just so happened to just 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.600 be in the place with some armies that was that 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.160 I went to school with. I was cool with. It 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.160 was beefing with his high school fraternity and just just 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.920 some big brawl just happened. Now, I mean, clan ain't 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.880 fight now. It was like it was like, man, like 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.560 fifty people in the middle of downtown Nashville outside of 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.840 the crazy going crazy. So but now I me and 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.160 Clinton fight though I found a couple of hommies when 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.800 I don't to fight him, and uh, but I was 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.960 hot because I'm like, man, I ain't got no problem 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.960 with none of these people like y'all bringing me to this, 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:03.600 you know what I'm saying, You know I mean. Anyways, 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.400 but it was like probably like our junior year then 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.960 senior year, we both end up signing uh football scholarship 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.440 to go to the shoot, and so we just got tight. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.679 We just he hit me up. We were sprunning the 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.640 same circles anyways, but he hit me up, and uh, 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.240 when I sat can't pulled up on my He from 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.000 my South Nashville, I'm from Eastern Nashville, pulled up my 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.680 apartment and smoked the j and drank some some some 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:38.760 creature cooler vodka type ship. We've been since. So, y'all, 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.920 the two Huskies are was one of y'all wanted to 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.200 slim in two thousand seventeen and became the US. No, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:54.520 we slim. You know when you see slim, you're okay. O. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.119 Modem bumped up a little bit and I didn't slim 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:02.359 down a little bit. But we're still on the two. Yeah, sure, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:09.879 sor right, Uh y'all. Why pizza? You know, like you know, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.200 like that any money y'all worked at a pizzeria or something. No, 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.920 I never nah no, um. I mean so when we 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.359 used to uh be on the trucks and stuff with 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.320 the moving company, we had, um you know, we'd be 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.200 going to all these different cities in New York, Chicago, Houston, 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:28.520 you know what I mean, we'd be all over the 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.240 country and um on the road. One of the quickest 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:32.840 things we can give us peace to go to the 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:37.160 gas station get pizza. And so anyways, we started doing 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.440 some research. When we have made the decision we wanted 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.080 to get in the hospitality industry, we start doing some 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.400 research and uh, you know, figuring out what do Americans eat. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.600 So you know, it's hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and tacos. 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.679 So it's like, right, you know what I'm saying, We're 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.040 gonna beat the tacos to who's supposed to have the 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.800 tacco you know what I'm saying. And then hot dogs, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.400 we didn't really want to do that. We didn't really 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.760 feel like you know, we I mean, we grew up 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.800 on eating hot dogs, but like there wasn't a fun 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.080 food for us, you know what I mean. And then 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.000 Hamburger's it was it was at a time in Nashville 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.919 when we had Hamburger spots, craft Hamburger spots popping up 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.199 every corner. So it's like, man, we do pizza, and 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.719 that's something we grew up on, you know, we eighties 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.320 nineties babies, you know what I mean. So you know, 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:25.280 w WF WrestleMania parties, it was pizza, you know what 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.560 I mean. Nicks, it was pizza, you know what I mean? 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:32.240 So yeah, t J M, you know what I mean. So, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:33.560 so that's what we grew up on. We feel like 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.280 we could we could make a splash with that, have 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.760 some fun with it. Uh, slim Huskies not just about us, 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.240 but also the size of the pieces and slim muskie. Uh. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:44.439 And then that's something that we felt like we at 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:49.320 least understood. It wasn't a steakhouse, it wasn't a seafood spot, 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.080 you know what I mean. So we understood a piece 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.760 and it just worked for us. And then we understood 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.680 the margins too. Uh So we gotten like deep down 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.440 and scientifically financially like, you know, the margins and pizza 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.560 are are are much better than you know, a lot 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.600 of other restaurants and foods out there. So that's why 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.880 we jumped into pieces. So how much does it cost 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.840 to make a pizza? Like, what's the average cost for pizzas? 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.040 Around three fifty uh four dollars with the box included. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.000 So we have all different kinds of pieces though. We 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.720 got everything from uh just a basic cheese pizza to 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.000 a meat lovers to a uh smoke we kind of 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.840 smoking nerve but has smoked salmon on it. So you know, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.359 we have high end products, chicken, sausage, things most people 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.520 don't put on pizza like and we do it completely 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.720 vegan pizza with vegan pepper oni, vegan sausage, um and 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:45.840 everything you know that you know, our plant based family 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.560 can enjoy. Yeah, they can get expensive. Man, when you 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.800 start adding salmon and shrimp, you know, premium meat products 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.840 and stuff like, what it's a vegan sausage, What the 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:03.879 fun is that? Right? So so so I was and 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:08.560 I was pestkeytarian and slash vegetarian for like six years 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.800 before we started the piece of company, right, and so, 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.080 one thing I've learned is that, you know, it's hard 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.520 to transition from just eating you know, from going to 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:21.000 eating meat um and chicken and poultry and things like 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:26.520 that to just you know, right. So I think a 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.879 lot of times it's a mental thing, right, like making 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.320 people feel like they can still enjoy um. You know, 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.400 they're old diets and the old habits, but without all 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.120 of the you know, the fatty um you know, things 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.920 that make things unhealthy so um. You know, when people 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.880 replicate different foods to make them vegan, I think it's 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.920 more so to help people transition and then people continue 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.480 with lifestyle that makes them feel normal. Um so ire beg. 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:56.320 In sausage, we use a p plant, a pea plant 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.920 protein so um. You know, we don't use a ton 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.680 on a soy because a lot of people of view 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.159 soy is unhealthy. But we have a company here locally 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.120 that we work with called the Beehive, and they sell 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:16.560 some really good, like being alternative products. Something about sausage 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:23.679 made out of peas just don't sit right with my because, 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.639 like if you think about pizza, pizza flavors can be 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.760 hid in pizza because the core thing to make you 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.199 a piece of good as your dough, your sauce, and 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.159 your cheese, anything else on that it's gonna get blended 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.560 into that flavor. So when you take that bite, you're 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.560 really tasting the dough and the sauce and the cheese, 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.280 not necessarily those ingredients. So as long as we can 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.800 mask you know what the piece, it may taste like, Uh, 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.080 you can still visually see it. Man, it tastes really good. 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.280 It tastes like our regular pizza. Right, So you're kind 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:56.480 of psyching your mind out, like this is sausage but 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.960 it's really peas. Yeah, I might have to try that, 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.960 you know, you don't try some vegan stuff, some vegetarian stuff. 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:08.879 I never tried. No vegan sausage. You probably the ingredients. 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.280 Usually it's like peas that soy. I'd be weirded out 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:16.000 by that because it's like vegetable, but it's a burger 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.640 and I just can't wrap my head around that. You know, y'all, 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:24.280 y'all ever tried our home Girl Slutty Vegan, I have not. 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:29.800 They're about to open the location here in Charlotte. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:34.600 so I see y'all have locations in Nashville, Atlanta, Sacramento, 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.080 in Memphis. Are y'all gonna franchise perhaps? Or how y'all 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:43.800 moving with that? We uh left out of Chattanooga, Okay, okay, 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:53.400 get me together. We got to two concessions and uhs 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:58.960 Formers Place six and State and whether type play one 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.320 in vanderbil State. You know, we got one going up. 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.840 Uh it's the latest one in the same Timea's Hospital 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:10.760 here in Nashville. Um, but franchise And to answer the question, 0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.240 Uh no, not right now. We really want to keep 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:19.080 corporately on m M. You know, perfected. Um. You know 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.800 you would think with nineteen stories, you know, and then 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:25.359 all these concessions, you you gotta perfected, you know what 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.960 I mean? But yeah, you know it's a changing world. 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:29.680 That change is fast, so we want to make sure 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.480 before we franchise to do anything like that we want 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.560
