29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. Every time I come to Houston,

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: you're probably the first person I call you j And

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: there's a couple of other people.

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: Said, yeah, no, no, that was Humble Brand at Bubble Brad.

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I've never heard of sugar Land. Can you describe where

34
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: we're at right now? Yeah, you're in a suburb, but

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: here is the festival, but we're in sugar Yeah, you're

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: in the city of Sugarland. This is a suburb of Yeah. Yeah,

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: but it's not Harris County. It's in its own county.

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: But I mean, everybody understands this is Houston.

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Like we in Houston, we say we going in Sugarland,

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: but you're still in Houston. If you're born in Sugarland,

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: you probably say you live in Sugarland. Whe If somebody

42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: asks where you're from, you're not gonna say you from

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: sugar Land. You're gonna say you're from Houston. Okay, this

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: is what. I hope. I'm not disrespecting nobody from Sugarland.

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: If I'm wrong, somebody need to stand up for Sugarland

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: and he'll live, you know, all right, speak up, sugar Land. Okay,

47
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: that's a bit sugar people speak up now.

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: On the real estate market, you look at Texas, Houston, Dallas,

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: one of the like the most places that people are

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: running to.

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: Is this something that you're seeing perfectly well? Yeah, I

52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: mean the cost of living here, right is exceptional, right

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: for people in the entertainment in this, people in athletics,

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: or just people in a higher tax bracket. You know,

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: you know, there's tax incentives to move to Texas. You

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. The quality of living here is respectable.

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: So you don't have to put it like this. If

58
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: you spend three hundred and fifty four hundred thousand dollars

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: on your house, you're gonna see four hundred thousand dollars

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: worth of house technically in Houston. Now if you moved

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: to certain areas where it costs a lot more to

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: buy the land that you build on. Yeah, but Texas

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: is still a very wide open state in terms of

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: real estate. There's still a lot of uncivilized land here

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: that people are still able to go in by acres,

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: build you shit up. White Wise also a better place, absolutely,

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean why you think Drake would come here and

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: just like I'm gonna come buy a house here. A

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: lot of people have house here, houses here, a lot

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: of people in the athletic world live here in the

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: off season. Yes, okay, absolutely this house is crazy Sugarland too, right.

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak on that. Yeah, I don't

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: want to say what that man house that but this

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: guy Jial targeted. But it's nice though, it's nice. I

75
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: mean technically James Harden got enough money to buy a

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: big house anyway, but his money definitely goes further in

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: Houston for sure. Good schools here. You know, it's just

78
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: like any other city. You know where not to go.

79
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: You be all right right now.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Let's get into trill Burgers. Man, I'm gonna be honest

81
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: with you. You're my friend. I had business in Houston,

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: so one of the first things I did was come

83
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: see you at the spot. Yes, and it's I don't

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: want to call it hip Hop's number one burger. I

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: want to call it America's number one burger. Are we

86
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: going cobel.

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: Are we saying no? No, it's the best burger in

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: the world. And I can tell you why. But that's

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: not just me saying it. Right, So this Trill Burgers

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: is the best burger. Sorry they laid out right, But

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: the best burgers in the world always come from America.

92
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: So technically, if you got the best burger in America,

93
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 2: you have by default the best burger in the world.

94
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Who gave you the ward good morning? Good morning America

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: makes the looise for white people giving out black people.

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: That's one for the as.

97
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when white people recognize your ship.

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: You know.

99
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. This is when you know

100
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: the food is good in the hood. When you go

101
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: there and it's in the hood and there's white people

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: eating in there is a fact because they wish say

Speaker 1: life for that Tril burger.

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: Goddamn it.

107
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: So you save that burger. Relax, man, I'm saying. I'm

109
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: just we're not in the hood, were hood of Jason.

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: What you said you're gonna get a gang. Hey Man

111
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: warlorder forgot if you if.

112
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: Your arms still were good, you get throw a rocket

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: hit the hood.

114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: But you know, I know personally there's so many people

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: who try to buy trill Burgers, try to franchise by

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: the brand, try to get down and you're like very

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: adamant about keeping it how it's run brand.

118
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because I don't think it's time to I

119
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: don't think we need anybody for that right now. We

120
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: don't need that level of cash investment right now. We're

121
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: good for that. We don't need any help marketing a

122
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: brand in the company. We're good with that. We'll get

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: to that step eventually. Everybody gets to that step where

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: you have to bring in specific partners so you can

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: target bigger demographics and expand the brand out. But for

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: right now, I think we're good in a you're looking

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: for Oh yeah, no, no, and I think we can.

128
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: We can, you know, knock out a couple of locations

129
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: in Texas alone. I think we get six to eight

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: doors and Texas open very easily within the system that

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: we already have.

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Right because I'm not gonna lie to you, that's what

133
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: I knew. You have way more integrity than me.

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: That's that's new yourself under the bus, right, man, that's

135
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: a new one.

136
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: I would have sold to McDonald's. Trill Burgers would have

137
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: been Trill Donalds.

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: You would have put your joints happy Meals.

139
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna burgers and win these out of make collaborations

140
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: with everybody, you said.

141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: Fuck that. Well, if this ain't the time, even if

142
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: this is something I want to do with the company

143
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 2: in the future, this ain't the time. We haven't built

144
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: up enough value into the company. I'll be selling out

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: for a Volkswagon. I'm trying to tell if you know

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: a Bugatti. Yeah, I want Bugotti value. I want big money.

147
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Because my thing is I

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: can get rich with the model that we have now right,

149
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: I can make a couple of million dollars. But this

150
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: is if we do this right, everybody involved with the

151
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: ownership of this company is in position to attain generational wealth.

152
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: And that's really what we want to do with this company.

153
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: You know, I shouldn't if I live to be one hundred,

154
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: I still shouldn't live long enough to see how far

155
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: this this company grows.

156
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, So let me ask you, because every bike

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: thing they could cook, right, you know what I mean? Like,

158
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: no bidke thinks they're a bad cook, right, Everybody.

159
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Like, oh know, it's a couple of people know they

160
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: can't cook. No.

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I know I could burn cereal meat personally, I know

162
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: how Like that's me said, burns cereal.

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

164
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: But a lot of people that I know, they think

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: they could cook, yes, but they don't go into this

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: culinary arts. What made you gos like so hard with this?

167
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: So we started a food blog about ten years ago,

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: me and my partner, the Premium Pete started the food

169
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: blogs you Gotta Eat This dot com because we met

170
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: over sneakers, and we met through other people and through

171
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: other things, but we bonded over food. Wow, and we

172
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: just love to eat food. Me because I was a

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: fat dude than him. He just I don't know, he

174
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: got a tape worm or something because he just just eat,

175
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: eat eat. He eat way more food than I eat.

176
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: And we thought, you know, we started a blog, we

177
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: go out, we take a couple of pictures, maybe we

178
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: could get reservations at restaurants and something like that. But

179
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: it really yeah, but it really just yeah exactly, but

180
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: it really expanded into something well, we started to go

181
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: to different companies, you know, people would go and test

182
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: out different products, and it made us want to actually

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: get into the culinary space like with businesses. So he

184
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 2: activated first with his grandmother's Apasta sauce, right, you know

185
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, which is amazing, and he's been doing

186
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: very well with that. And then when I got approached

187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: with the opportunity to do these burgers, I had been

188
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: looking for something, and when these burgers came in my lap,

189
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: I was like, this is it. This is what I've

190
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: been waiting for all my life. I haven't felt like

191
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: anything like this since probably hip hop getting married and

192
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: this this is like, this is what. It's a different passion. Yeah, yeah, no,

193
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: I got passion. It alliance with purpose, you know what

194
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying. It makes me want to be present in

195
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: the moment and learn. Yeah. No, that's the thing. Like,

196
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: it wasn't worth compromising what I would do it If

197
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: this was just a regular ass burger, I wouldn't even

198
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: touched it, you know what I'm saying. Because I built

199
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: up thirty plus years a blood, sweat and tear integrity

200
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: with this UGK brand and this trail brand, It's not

201
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: worth selling out for a couple of thousand dollars behind

202
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: the bitch ass burger. I knew this burger was the truth.

203
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: I knew it was the truth. I knew it was different.

204
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: But let me ask you this, though, when you found

205
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: the burger, it wasn't trill. You made a trill.

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: The burger needed me to quantify being trilled it. It's

207
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: a thing. If somebody else would have said, hey, this

208
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: is trill burger, they would have been like, all right,

209
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: I get the burger, but what make it trill? But

210
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: they didn't come to you. Sat no, no, no, no,

211
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: no no no. I can't do that. You labeled it yes,

212
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: Because my thing is I'm going to be associated with

213
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: this burger. I'm gonna be the face of the burger,

214
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: less associated with something that people already know me for,

215
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: that already got weight to it. You know what I'm saying.

216
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done it if this burger was not Trio.

217
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: In my eyes, I wouldn't have put the name on it.

218
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: It wouldn't worth it.

219
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: Because you said the burger fell on your lap. In

220
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: my mind I pictured you barbecue on one day and

221
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: it fell on and nah, just hit barbecue on one

222
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: day in this say you couldn't.

223
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: You couldn't do this in the backyard. With all due

224
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: respects to all the chefs and the cooks out there,

225
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: this is not something that you could have developed in

226
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: the backyard.

227
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: So it described to us. Someone came to you and

228
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: said this is this hits the.

229
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: Burger to you. They came to me, they said, we

230
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: have a burger. We think it's the best burger. We

231
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 2: want to partner with somebody in Texas. We thought, we

232
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: think you're the best person to partner with. I try

233
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: the burger. I was like, this is a badass burger,

234
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: Like for real. I was like, this is it. They

235
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: were like, we're gonna work on it a little bit more.

236
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: They came back to me. I tried it. Not only

237
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: was it the best burger I'd ever had by far,

238
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: but it was one of the best meals I'd ever had.

239
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: That's why people keep coming back to Tril Burger because

240
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: it's so satisfying, and the flavor and the taste and

241
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: the product has been consistent. So it doesn't matter if

242
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: you come to Honeyland and get a Trill Burger, if

243
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: you go to the brick and mortar to get it

244
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: if you get it at a festival at the NRG Stadium,

245
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: during the Texans game at the Dynamo Stadium, rock the bells.

246
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: Wherever you get that burger, it tastes like the burger.

247
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Now. As you can see,

248
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're cursed or something, but it's

249
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: always a process to get a trill burger. You either

250
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: got to stand in the sun. It's coal outside. As

251
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: you can see, it's raining out here. People complaining about

252
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: the weight, They complained about the weather, but it ain't

253
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: Nobody complaining about the burger got jam.

254
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: But what was the learning curve between them bring you

255
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: the burger? You are in the music industry, you're a

256
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: legendary MC and now you're transitioning into the food industry.

257
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: What is that transition? Was it easy? Was it lert like?

258
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Was there bumps in the road. We're still in progress, right,

259
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: I'm learning. I'm learning it every day. No, no, no, no,

260
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: that's right now. Those far technically, yes, it's successful because

261
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: we have we don't have to fight to get people

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: in the door, right, But there are many things that

263
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about this industry. There are things that

264
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 2: I'm learning every day, you know what I'm saying. And

265
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: we're trying to streamline the process. We're trying to refine

266
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: the process, but this thing keeps growing exponentially. It's so

267
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: many moving parts to this company, and so we're just

268
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: trying to get the model downpacked right, and then we're

269
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: trying to replicate the model. Once we know we can

270
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: easily replicate the model, then we can start popping in

271
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: bitches where we want to put them, you know what

272
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But all these things come with time. You

273
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: don't want to move too fast and not know anything.

274
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 2: Just like if you're an artist and you come in

275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: the game and you go platinum off your first single,

276
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: you ain't ever been where. Now your promo tour, you

277
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: going all over the world. You got one of these

278
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: biggest records in the world, But you don't know nothing

279
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: about about publishing, mechanical royalties, merge. You don't know nothing

280
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: about it. So you can't really take full advantage of

281
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: the opportunity in front of you. Luckily, I have some

282
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: great partners that I work with. But even with all

283
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: the resources and the tutelage and experience that we have,

284
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: we still make mistakes because nothing like this has ever

285
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: been done before. There is no blueprint to do what

286
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: tril Burger's is doing. We've broken every record every music

287
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: festival we've ever been to. We broken every single day

288
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: and weekend vendor record anybody's ever had anywhere, even including

289
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: coach Teller. All of these big things. We go and

290
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: we kill it. You see this line out here, it's

291
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: ridiculous because it's a real product. I'm not standing at

292
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: the booth taking pictures and they know that in the rain,

293
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: and they still standing out there because the product is real.

294
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: It's not only an incredible food product, but it got

295
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: thirty years of trial culture built into it, you know

296
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So there's residual benefits for not just

297
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: buying the b but supporting the brand. And we recognize

298
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 2: that as a company, and we appreciating. Love y'all and

299
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: respect y'all for that.

300
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: God damn makes some noise for that. Now, If anybody

301
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: ever been to trill Burgers or ever visited a location

302
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: where you've been posted at, it's only two types of burgers. Yes,

303
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: the beef burger. Yes, it's a vegan burger. Can you

304
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: tell us the breakdown or why you chose those two.

305
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you know, we want to keep

306
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: a streamlined the process as possible so we can cook

307
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: as much food and get it to people as quickly

308
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: as possible. So the less things you cook, the easy

309
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: it is to get people what they want, you know

310
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But then also outside of that, you know,

311
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that we're making our food

312
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: available to as many people as possible. That's why there's

313
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: a beef burger, and that's also why there's a vegan burger.

314
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: If all you Turkey people, I love all you Turkey people,

315
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: we hear you. But everybody has to understand. I'm sure

316
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: most of you people understand how food and kitchens work. Here.

317
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: I have to have a separate grill for every protein

318
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: I cook, So I have to so every beech don't

319
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: cook the beef. I know you can't it here. You can't.

320
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: You defeat the purpose, okayou.

321
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean if you cook a vegan burger

322
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: on a grill, now you're violating. You're violating with that.

323
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: So all the bee burgers have to be cooked on

324
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: their own grills. All vegan burgers have to be cooked

325
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: on their own grills. So if I wanted to incorporate Turkey,

326
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: I'd have to either take away one of the grills

327
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: that's already used for something, I'll put another grill in there,

328
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: and I don't have enough room to put another grill

329
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: in there. But it's something that we considering that the

330
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: brand grows and we start to looking at the other

331
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: locations also to go like, we haven't really been able

332
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: to do door dashing all of that because our kitchen

333
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: is small. It's finite, so we know people want the burger,

334
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: and then you know, we're still trying to make sure

335
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: that when we do do that, that burger is packaged

336
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: in a way that is still refreshing for people when

337
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: they get the food. Because I don't know what the

338
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: fuck people uber drivers be doing, go stop at their

339
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: gay house or some shit. I don't want nobody to

Speaker 2: Fuck with you. I'm blessed.

374
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: Do you think is that's the reason why the Trio

375
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Burgers was a success. That you got people in there,

376
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: and then once they got in there, then the burgers

377
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: smacked them the other way.

378
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: And I risked it off of this burger. I put

379
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: everything about me that everybody knows about me and everybody

380
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: associates with me into this burger because I believed in

381
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: the burger that much. Now, it was all about getting

382
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: people in the building to try the burger, right, But

383
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: if people don't like the burger, they not coming back,

384
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: coming back, you know what I'm saying. So I'm not

385
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: trying to hit a one time lick. I want a

386
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: sustainable building, you know what I'm saying. I want a

387
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: sustainable company that can exist in multiple locations and be

388
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: everything that people want a burger to be, you know

389
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So no, this is about the burger

390
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: being the start of the show because I can't be

391
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: there every day. So if people only come in to

392
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: see me and take a picture. If they walk in

393
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: and I ain't there, they walk out, right, I don't

394
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: want people to I want people to walk in for

395
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: the reason they're supposed to walk in, because the food

396
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: is good. Period.

397
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: And let me add to what he's saying, like, how

398
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: much of the independent Texas djscrew mentality that you come

399
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: from the jew applied to the marketing of Trilburger's.

400
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: Well, this was just about you know, I put this

401
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 2: burger on my back, right, and the same way that

402
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: we went out as artists and had to build this thing, grassroots,

403
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: word of mouth. That's what we did with this burger,

404
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. We treated the burger like

405
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: it was a new album or a new artists, you

406
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So we went on promos. It

407
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: cost us a lot of time to get in the building.

408
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying that festivals we have to

409
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: pay fees. Now, people invite us to festivals, they wave

410
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: the fees because we bring culture with us. When we're

411
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: into the festival, we're a draw like people. You know,

412
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: people are already coming to the festival and maybe people

413
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: are on the line. Maybe I don't know whether or not.

414
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: Don't want to go. They know tril Burger is gonna

415
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: be the I'm gonna go because I've been waiting to

00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 2: try this burger. I'm at the burger, you know what

417
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So you know this is about building something

418
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: that's sustainable on its own that way, Like I said,

419
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: ain't nobody start eating at Windy's and they've been gone

420

Speaker 2: because you live in a big city. Fuck all that.

463
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm not from a big city, so I know what

464
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: it's like when something like this comes to town. So

465
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: we want to bring the circus to town for people

466
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: when we open these trail burgers.

467
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: I look, so, what is the next product you're gonna

468
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: add on to the menu?

469
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: But we just started trill tenders. We just sold yes,

470
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: but that's not gonna be on the menu because we're

471
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: gonna keep the burger business burg so it's gonna be

472
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: a separate business. So we just competed about three weeks

473
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: ago in Tenderfest, which is the national chicken tender competition

474
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: sponsor behind R and B Company.

475
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: Best my invite you want to go to.

476
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: You look like you ain't text me, that's my bad.

477
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: Test was in Los Angeles.

478
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Real, yes, downtown, don't tell me downtown.

479
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: No, No, it was actually it was actually in the

480
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: middle of Beverly Hills.

481
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: They got Beverly Hills chicken tenderest.

482
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: Yes, they called me and they and we weren't even

483
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: in the chicken tended business, so we got invited to participate.

484
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: So what they do They ask a lot of well

485
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: known chefs and companies to come in and do their

486
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: version of a chicken tender. Right, take a product that's

487
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: very you know, very low five, very easy to access,

488
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: and try to make something high profile out of it.

489
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: So we competed against three other chefs and restaurants in

490
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: l A and we won. Like wow, make some noise

491
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: for that, you know. So technically Hind said, we have

492
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: the best new chicken tender in.

493
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: America sold on. This will be in Burgers.

494
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 2: No, this will be its own, separate business. Yes, and

495
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: it's a beast. The reason it is a beast is

496
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: because it's the freshest tender. Like we're not we're not

497
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: compromising on quality with Trilburger. That's the thing you know

498
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna get. You're gonna get a quality product, You're

499
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: gonna get an ample serving business. Yeah. Absolutely, no, it

500
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to consolidate that. Consolidate that because I

501
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: believe it's its own brand that can stand on his

502
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: own two fee. Yes, and it's a lot easier to operate,

503
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: quite frankly, than a burger business, you know what I'm saying.

504
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: So I don't need as much staff, I don't need

505
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: as much prep for it. It's very easy to open

506
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 2: that door. The food truck's coming very soon because the

507
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: truck is very easy to do with tenders like that

508
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: that line out there, we could never do that kind

509
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: of a line with a food truck. You just can't

510
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: get the typical amount of equipment we're about to put

511
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: it and get a mobile kitchen like you can't even

512
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: call it a food truck the size of it what

513
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: we're about to do. We're about to do some great

514
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 2: things with this company.

515
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: Man.

516
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: We're really excited about the opportunity to present this burger

517
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: to as many people as possible. And that's been the

518
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: thing that's really been holding us back is not having

519
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: a truck. Because the truck's very easy to put into

520
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: a space and activate. When we got to rent the

521
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: grills and all of that, sometimes it gets complicated, you know,

522
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: zoning and different things come into plays. So I think

523
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: as the time goes on, next year twenty twenty four,

524
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: we'll really be able to attack because we'll be in

525
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: multiple places in multiple cities at the same time.

526
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm a big dipper. What kind of dipping sauce is

527
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: on a chicken tenders?

528
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: So we have a sweet pink sauce. We have two

529
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: sauces for the chicken tenders. We have a sweet we

530
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: have a sweet pink sauce, sweet pink, yes, yes it is.

531
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: We have a sweet pink sauce. And then we have

532
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: a spicy soy based sauce. So we give you two sauces,

533
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: so you have an option. I personally like I like

534
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: to mix a little bit of both. I like to

535
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 2: dip it in the pink sauce and top it with

536
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: the soy. But that's up to y'all. But we make

537
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: sure that there's enough flavor. See that's the thing about Trilburger, right.

538
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: I realized that most burgers are popular not because of

539
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: the patty, but because of what they put on a burger.

540
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: Very few people by burger for the patty. They buy

541
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: it for the condiments. But so if you took just

542
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: the patty off of most burgers, you wouldn't even want

543
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: to eat it. The way it looked. I argue that

544
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: Tril Burger, the best part of the burger is the patty.

545
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: You could take everything off of a Trill Burger and

546
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: you would still want to eat, you know exactly. You

547
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So that's how we feel with

548
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: the chicken tender. Even if there's no patented sauce or

549
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: anything to dip in, or even if you don't have

550
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: any ketchup, you should still have a moist chicken tender

551
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: with a crispy crust on the outside, with flavor in everybody. Okay,

552
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: so let's just let's just rip. Let's just rip the

553
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: band aid off of the thing.

554
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: Is this chicken tender spot also gonna have straight up

555
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: fried chicken?

556
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: Not yet, No, I'm looking. I'm not trying to complicate

557
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: the market. Right. If we're going to do fried chicken,

558
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: then we got to do different things with sides, biscuits

559
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: and all of that type. That's not the model that

560
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do. My mottol is probably closer to

561
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: a cane or a Chick fil A. You know what

562
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying. You stay in your lane. If you find

563
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: one thing you could do, you do it well. You replicated,

564
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: and you can do it like that. You know, I

565
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: don't have to make a million things to make a

566
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: million dollars. If I do one thing well, I can

567
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: find a million people to buy it. So, Bud, you

568
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: obviously found that.

569
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: You obviously found this passion, right, how does it match

570
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: your passion for hip hop and the music side.

571
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: When I found hip hop, I fell in love with

572
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: hip hop. I wanted to hear all the new records.

573
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: I wanted to see who all the new artists was.

574
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to read the magazines. It's the same thing

575
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: with food. I want to learn more about the business.

576
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: I want to read more. I talk to different people.

577
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: I had people that have proximity to the industry, but

578
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: because I wasn't in that space, I couldn't really talk

579
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: to them about that stuff. Now I have now that

580
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm in the food space. Friends of mine that are

581
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: in restaurants, like, we both know Big Teach, right, we

582
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 2: were both very supportive and helping Teach, you know, help

583
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: get his brand out there. Now Teach gets to bring

584
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: that to me and help teach you help teach them

585
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: so much. Absolutely so, all these relationships that I already had,

586
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: I just try to make relationships with a lot of

587
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: good people everywhere. It doesn't really matter what they do.

588
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: Just because they can't benefit me today don't mean they

589
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: can't benefit me tomorrow. So I don't try to burn

590
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: any bridges that I built with people, because you never

591
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: know where you need to cross it, you know what

592
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's been beautiful to have people that

593
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: I've sold into that have been successful, so back into me.

594
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: And it's not just fool people either. People like Drake

595
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: and people like call It. They come over. They know

596
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: they have energy that can help activate my brand and

597
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: help put me on that next level, and so they

598
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: bring that to me. Most people would be trying to

599
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: bother Drake for Averse, right I don't need no verse

600
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: help me get these burgers off, you know what I'm saying.

601
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: Do you feel the evolution of hip hop?

602
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: We're celebrating hip hop fifty right now, and do you

603
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 3: feel the evolution of hip hop to where it's at

604
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 3: right now? Makes it a perfect time and place for

605
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: you to launch a business like this? Is it helpful

606
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: that we're evolved this way in hip hop right now?

607
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think if an artist wants to be involved

608
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: in the business side of the music industry. It's a

609
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: perfect time. I think most artists have to have some

610
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: type of business acumen in order to be successful. There

611
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: isn't anything that you can't learn from being successful in

612
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: the entertainment industry that won't transition into other things. This

613
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: is business. The way you communicate with people, knowing who

614
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: to talk to, who to look for when you walk

615
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: in the room, all of those things transition into any

616
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: factor of life, you know what I'm saying. So I

617
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: just found my path through this burger. But I tell

618
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: everybody find your burger, find something that you love to do,

619
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 2: and figure out what it is that you already know,

620
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: all the resources you've already taken in the experience you got,

621
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: and the people, in the relationships you've built, and see

622
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: how that shit can help you. You know what I'm saying.

623
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: Because you may have a friend that could never help

624
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 2: you in any other aspect of your life until now, right,

625
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: and now that becomes your closest friend. You know what

626
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

627
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: Right now, your staff all cast COVID tomorrow, right, they

628
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: can't come hypothetically hypothetically. Can you open up the spot yourself?

629
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: Can you make the burger yourself technically.

630
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if my whole staff got COVID, probably eighty

631
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the city got COVID, so we probably

632
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: ain't open nowhere. That was a terrible night. I don't know.

633
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 2: Could you technically make a trill burger. I'm gonna make

634
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: a burger in about an hour for real. Yeah, I'm

635
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: gonna make a burger on the grill. Now, there's no

636
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: part of this burger, there's no part of this company

637
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 2: that I can't add myself to you. If anybody that

638
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: came to any of the early pop uas probably saw

639
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: me cooking back in the day, you would see me.

640
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes somebody couldn't show up. I would have to go

641
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: in the line. I would have to go work the fries.

642
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: I would have to prep the burgers or wrap the

643
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: burgers or something. But I can build a drill burger,

644
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: no question. It doesn't make sense for me to be

645
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: out there and doing that when it's such an easy

646
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: thing to learn, and it's something that I'm asking people

647
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: to do every day. I wouldn't ask people to do

648
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: something that I wouldn't do myself. So, because this is

649
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: a hard job to do, standing over that grill, it's

650
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: a brutal job. Imagine doing it outside in Houston on

651
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: a hundred degrees summer day. So when my staff is

652
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: outside sweating, I'm outside sweating with them. You know what

653
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying. If they got to put work in, if

654
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: they need me, I'm there. People see it all the time.

655
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm always ready to turn up. Now.

656
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: What's that that kool aid you sell?

657
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: Straight up? Yeah? The cool cup, cool cup, juice, the watermelon? No, no, no, no,

658
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: it's my wife, my wife top. We might be putting

659
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: a little bit too much serve in your your elimonade.

660
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: Sum yeah no, no, no syrup. Yeah yeah.

661
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: You can't go to sleep over that that is. You

662
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: don't need no coffee, none of that.

663
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 2: But shout out to Exotic pop Man forgiving you know,

664
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: young artists, young Black people, and a revenue stream, particularly

665
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: the families of those that we've lost. They've been able

666
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: to create these sodas for many of of use and

667
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: artists that have passed away. And by selling these sodas,

668
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: they're given the proceeds to the family, not a portion

669
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: of the proceeds. He gives the proceeds to the family.

670
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, it's a way that we

671
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: could continue to honor their memory and sow into their families.

672
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: And so what we've been doing at Troburger is that

673
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: when is somebody's anniversary of their passing, if they have

674
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: an exotic pop soda, we do a special combo with

675
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 2: the burger and the soda to raise money for the family.

676
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: On that day, we.

677
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Gotta go to tril Burgers to do an episode. We

678
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: want him to come to Miami to do an episode,

679
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: but half of the episode we should.

680
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you're in Miami, and then the second part

681
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: of that and we're at Burger's.

682
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: I love it.

683
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't tell you, man, how this couldn't

684
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: happen to a better person. Man, You know what I mean.

685
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: You're you're You're a genuine guy. You're honorable guy.

Speaker 2: Let's give him flowers, man, Yeah, yeah, man. Our show is.

00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Come on, Paul, you drunk motherfucker.

00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: is beautiful. Yes, I gotta do this for somebody. We

691
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: got to put this in and we got to put

692
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: some burgers in a box like this, and on the people.

693
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: This is beautiful what y'all done for the culture.

694
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: Man.

695
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: That's why you've been rewarded in the way that you've

696
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: been rewarded, because I've seen this from day one. This

697
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: was not a money grab. We didn't know if no

698
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: sponsors or nothing was coming out. I was just trying

699
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: to get drunk with your friends and talk shit. You

700
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And some of the best nights

701
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: of my life has been me and Norrie drunk. The

702
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: stories we can never tell, you know what I'm saying,

703
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: hanging out and left right. Hold, let me ask you something.

704
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: If Pepsi was alive, Yes, what would his mill beat

705
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: at trill Burgers.

706
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: He would probably want it all the way because he

707
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: ate onions and pickles, so he would have ate this

708
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: all the way. But the only I think that's the

709
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: only person that would have ate more trill Burgers than

710
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: my wife because my wife technically is eating more trill

711
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: Burgers than anybody else. Like she loves the burger. I mean,

712
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: I had the Veggie's amazing. But if you could have

713
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: a trill Burger anytime you wanted high, wouldn't you. I

714
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: can't eat. I try to get mad about it, but

715
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: I can't, you know what I'm saying.

716
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: Tried to Vegan Burger.

717
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, yeah, absolutely. I think he would have

718
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: tried everything we sold and he would have told me

719
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: it's on his opinion, So it would have He would

720
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: have been the one that I would have been like,

721
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: after I tried it, I would have probably asked him

722
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: to try it and see if he felt like I felt.

723
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a hip hop question. So many

724
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: people who respect you, all new in between whatever. Do

725
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: you ever get shocked at how many people you know

726
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: pay hoppits to you?

727
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: I do? I do. I was just at this event

728
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles that CBS put on with the Recording

729
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: Academy to celebrate hip hop's fiftieth anniversary, the one that

730
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: everybody was at. Yeah yeah, that looked amazing, and Chuck

731
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: D came over to me, and I mean, the outpouring

732
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: of love and admiration that Chuck D continuously shows me

733
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: blows my mind. Wow, you know what I'm saying, Because

734
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: records like my Ouzi ways a Ton was the type

735
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: of shit that made me like, yo, they talked different

736
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: with this. This is just a whole different way of talking,

737
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: you know, And when I realized that you didn't have

738
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: to be from a certain place to do it and

739
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: be a part of it, that I was sold, you

740
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But you know, to see a

741
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: Chuck d in a flavor flave like flavor had walked

742
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: past me and didn't realize it was me and came

743
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: back like double back, you know, he ain't got that

744
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 2: to do, you know what I'm saying. And so when

745
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 2: the ogs, my ogs show love like that, it's only

746
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: right that I'd be as gracious, if not more gracious,

747
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Because the people that opened

748
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: the doors for me, like, you know, I had to

749
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: fight to get there, but there were people, there were

750
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: people with the foot in the door holding it open

751
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: for me, you know what I'm saying, And they appreciate

752
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: the way that I came in and the way I

753
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 2: represented in the culture. And it's so fulfilling. Because before

754
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: there was any money, before there was any cars and

755
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: mansions and all of that, you wanted rappers that was

756
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: nice to say you was nice. And I've been able

757
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: to say that pretty much everybody I looked up to

758
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: as an artist looks at me as as a as

759
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: a real rapper, like not just a dude making songs

760
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: like I'm really out here doing my thing, and that's

761
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: that's an amazing thing.

762
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: To carry it and to double down what he just asked,

763
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 3: And this is a question that Nora usually asked the guests.

764
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: Did you ever think hip hop would take it this far?

765
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 3: To the point where you've expanded your brand further than

766
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: hip hop and it's still hip hop, but you've gone

767
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: in other realms outside of the music side of hip hop.

768
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: Not at all. And I'll tell you why, because I've

769
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: been here long enough to remember when hip hop almost

770
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: just off off. The general principle rejected sponsorship right right,

771
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: because we were very concerned about corporations coming in and

772
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: really taking advantage of the of the of the culture,

773
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: you know, manipulating the culture and that people within. We

774
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: didn't really know whether or not that was going to

775
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: be a bad thing. So when Hammer had a cartoon

776
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: and Kid and Play had a cartoon, and people were

777
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: doing Pepsi and KFC Commercial Mountain had the Mountain them

778
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: the big you know, it wasn't until the Sprite campaign. Yes,

779
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: it wasn't until that sprit campaign when they staw Yes.

780
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean they were the ones breaking the ground.

781
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 5: Whutang Biggie ice Cube, all those guys were slowly breaking

782
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 5: that down.

783
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: But they realized that they were allowing us to define

784
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: ourselves and dictate, dictate. At first, they tried to manipulate

785
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 2: it and present it in their way, but it started

786
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: to come off as parody and people that fuck with

787
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: the culture didn't fuck with the product. So it wasn't

788
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: until they started bringing authentic voices from the culture into

789
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 2: the space to allow them to tell the story. Perfect

790
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: example is Russell Simmons and Rush Communications the Coca Cola campaign.

791
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if y'all know, but y'all know the

792
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: Coca Cola bear. When y'all see the Polar Bear wintertime.

793
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: Russell Simmons company came up with that campaign for Coca

794
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 2: transform the brand. You know what I'm saying. But if

795
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 2: there isn't a product on the planet right now that

796
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: doesn't sell, isn't that doesn't sell itself through hip hop,

797
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Like this music, there's themes,

798
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: it's breakdance and all that shit. It sells everything on

799
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: the planet. Movies there's no movie trailer. It's so hip hop.

800
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: We don't even know it anymore. That's how hip hop

801
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: every We don't even pick up on it. That's what

802
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying. It's so hip hop. I'll look up, I'll

803
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: just be doing something and then no one man should

804
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: have all this power? Or what movie is this? It

805
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: seems like they do the same song over and over

806
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: selling it, you know what I'm saying, Because we tell

807
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: these stories of triumph so well, we tell these stories

808
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: of pain and grief and transition through those things and obstacles,

809
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: which is what most movies are about. You have a conflict,

810
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: you resolve the conflict that. Who does that better than

811
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 2: black people? You know? Who deals with that? Who navigates

812
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: the nuances of that better than black people?

813
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: So let me ask you, right, pimps could come back.

814
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: For one day, Oh Jesus snort, and.

815
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: You guys could do a versus.

816
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

817
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: If I look at y'all, y'all like that one, everybody like.

818
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anybody else besides balling g

819
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: for us to go up against it. I don't and

820
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: I don't think. Let me let me tell you something.

821
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: Pimp's presence is very real in a room you've ever

822
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: been in a room where UGK record has been played

823
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: and MC burst come on, the spirit of Pepsy is

824
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: in that room. The energy shifts when you hit that ship.

825
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: So just just that, the spirit, the idea, the notion,

826
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: right because when you hear the music, you imagine what

827
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 2: if he was in this room right now, in this space.

828
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: The thought, the idea of him occupying space with you

829
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: in modern time, in real time, it's just so it's

830
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: so hard to grasp. It's just you would you would

831
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: your mind would explode if you saw Pips in mind

832
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: into just so just the idea of him physically being

833
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: here that I don't know like and I don't even

834
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: know what U g K would look like right now, right,

835
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: there'd be different albums at this point, so by the

836
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: time we got the verses, it might not be nobody

837
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: that could have held this ship. I'm just saying, is

838
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 2: there is there.

839
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, because everyone knows all of us is pretty

840
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: much unique individuals. Yes, Is there any new artists that

841
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: you look at that reminds you a little bit.

842
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: Like similar to Pip or no one ever? There is

843
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: no one man I think that can replicate it. Right,

844
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: You see some dudes with the personality something. Yeah, I

845
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: see I see that in most people, you know, making

846
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: this Dawion embodies a lot of what Pimp represented. I

847
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: think that's why it was so jarring for people to

848
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: see it coming from a woman. You know what I'm saying,

849
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: But she's not saying nothing that pimp wasn't saying. It

850
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: just came from a female perspective. But I think I

851
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: think I think Club God be King. I think he

852
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: carries a lot of I think he's talking about a

853
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: lot of the crazy, nasty ship that people will be

854
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: talking about.

855
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: You know.

856
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: I think I think there's a lot of people that

857
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 2: carry his his beliefs, like krit has. You know, Krick

858
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: carries this passion of making Southern musical production looked at

859
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: a very high level. Killer Mike has the care and

860
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: concern for his community and his people that that Pimp had.

861
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. There's so many different things,

862
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: but I don't think no one person could encompass everything

863
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: that you had encompassed. That's why he was so special

864
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: to people.

865
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: And if anything, they're all carrying the torch that is PIMC.

866
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we all do in the sense I

867
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: think you know, I think many of us have to

868
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: carry that toych because you know, we can't just sit

869
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: by and watch fuck shit. You know somebody got to

870
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: say something.

871
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: Yep, well one man, congratulations man that you've for comeing
