Speaker 1: still twine Dang. Yeah, so your father combined his name,
Speaker 1: the family name with the country. My name is Torn
Speaker 1: t R. E U a n t my. But the
Speaker 1: funny thing is when I first I opened the flat market,
Speaker 1: but TV repair right, and then way when I opened
Speaker 1: second one at Sawtow, so it would TV repair too,
Speaker 1: so they called TV too. So bo Boy just confuted
Speaker 1: thinking that to repair TV repair it's actually TV juy repair.
Speaker 1: But it with TV repair, so they're thinking I do
Speaker 1: repair to TV. They call it, hey, do you repair TV?
Speaker 1: Here is they know, sir, this TV juy repair? But
Speaker 1: when when did you drop the TV? Because I haven't

Speaker 1: referred to as TV Johnny. I mean, do you prefer
Speaker 1: to yourself as TV Johnny Johnny that that? I love
Speaker 1: the TV Johnny because it's real popular back then. But
Speaker 1: when I got the biggest open the shop in Galaria,
Speaker 1: I feel like it looked weird to put TV jewelry

Speaker 1: name Johnny. Dang and Coles like more corporate. A lot
Speaker 1: of people know like scoff, A lot of like oh O,
Speaker 1: G know the TV jurry. Yeah, but that's that's they
Speaker 1: called me t V Johnny all the time. In the back.
Speaker 1: I just call them the Johnny Dangerous Man. How does
Speaker 1: one get into the jewelry bus this number one in hustler?
Speaker 1: Of course I did um. Honestly, the most success I
Speaker 1: had just because the business size business I mean like
Speaker 1: to do good business. That's I believe. That's of course.
Speaker 1: Then a walk car do real solid is good business.
Speaker 1: Not bringing me a lot of success. You know, how
Speaker 1: do you get to them? Damage wage from them? A
Speaker 1: reasonal I buy it from the broker when I just started,
Speaker 1: because when they started, I buy very small kin tank carras.
Speaker 1: But now question did you did you take out a loan?
Speaker 1: Did you get a loan? We do? I do, of
Speaker 1: course we have to get a lan. But they have
Speaker 1: two kip lawn Right when I started, I do the
Speaker 1: longline in community loan like community community, we do long together.
Speaker 1: Let's say yeah, let's say you, me, you Willy and
Speaker 1: me to your us. We put a thousands. So this
Speaker 1: month I have three thousand, and next month he had
Speaker 1: three thousands, and the month after you have three thousand.
Speaker 1: You know, we do pull together and each month is
Speaker 1: person have that lawn, so it will do twenty person.
Speaker 1: So each month I got twenty thousand's and we paid
Speaker 1: back a thousand a month and next month you have
Speaker 1: twenty thousand money. So that's kind of lawn it no insurence.
Speaker 1: We just have each other brilliant. So we you go
Speaker 1: to put on an invent. So I opened like if
Speaker 1: I want to create hundre thousand, I opened five different
Speaker 1: lines like that friends. So I'm the I'm the host.
Speaker 1: First time I have hunt a thousands, you know, because
Speaker 1: twenty group, so each person only spent a thousand five
Speaker 1: group like that, So I have a hundred thousand to
Speaker 1: be on for the capital business capital, and the next
Speaker 1: month would be the second guy who have a hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: We just rotate like that, right, and then you just
Speaker 1: pay back. If I have a hundred thousand rights, I
Speaker 1: pay back a thousand a month, but I pay five group.
Speaker 1: So every month I pay back five thousand, but I
Speaker 1: have a first hundred thousand to do business without pay
Speaker 1: It's just like a lot. It's just community loan. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: old school, you're not like banking. But you have to
Speaker 1: be like just together. But one day to the whole
Speaker 1: part and and don't pay back. That messed up the whole.
Speaker 1: So so how did you win the people's trust? Harder
Speaker 1: for you to be the host. How did you win
Speaker 1: your your friends trust and what you're doing business also
Speaker 1: with family, what they're also investing. Yeah, I kind of
Speaker 1: friends and they just just trying. I think. I guess
Speaker 1: it's just traditional. That's kind of man. We've been half
Speaker 1: long time, even back back then the Vietnam. So when
Speaker 1: we generate like that, people know. And then I started,
Speaker 1: which is small. Let's say, oh, it started with a
Speaker 1: five hundred dollar a thousand dollars, so as a friends,
Speaker 1: they just with a thousand dollars, you know. So when
Speaker 1: you when you get to America and you start selling
Speaker 1: jurry and stuff, what's your living accommodations? Like who do
Speaker 1: you live with? Where do you live? Uh? It's very
Speaker 1: Uh we live with the families in one house, very
Speaker 1: small house like farll bedroom betweense families who have tall
Speaker 1: people in the house. The thing is, when it wasn't Vietnam,
Speaker 1: it was so poor, like super poor. So seven money
Speaker 1: is our goal and we really a lot and didn't
Speaker 1: spend at all. So I remember the rain, we pay
Speaker 1: only my family because three family in one hell, so
Speaker 1: I we really pay like two and fifty dollars for
Speaker 1: rain and then because we stepping. We slept my floor, me,
Speaker 1: Kevin and Jimmy. Yeah, because only so one only our
Speaker 1: family have one bedroom for my mom and my dad.
Speaker 1: So me, Jimmy and Kevin we slept my floor for
Speaker 1: maybe only nine five six years in here in the
Speaker 1: American So that's the that's the way we save money
Speaker 1: because we stay, you know, in the house. So when
Speaker 1: you were on your way up, you wasn't trying to
Speaker 1: fake it to make it. You wasn't trying to act
Speaker 1: like because you're in the jury business, and jury is
Speaker 1: is it's connected to you know, wealth and in having things.
Speaker 1: Now why are you coming up? Are you spending money
Speaker 1: trying to have a nice car. You ain't got no

Speaker 1: you know, any any business you need capital units, inventories.
Speaker 1: So when I started, I really didn't have inventory. So inventory.
Speaker 1: So the way I'm the way I'm doing, I try
Speaker 1: to do myselfies less you spend and whatever I make

Speaker 1: other like what other you know access do you think
Speaker 1: you bring to the table that makes people, not not
Speaker 1: necessarily makes people, but makes you a main state, you know,
Speaker 1: in in in the hip hop community, especially because people
Speaker 1: in the hip hop community really really funk with you,
Speaker 1: because um, of course I love you, know what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: and most most important thing is I'm deal with the
Speaker 1: customer with this. I'm not to explain, of course, a
Speaker 1: good deal. I try always trying to beat respectful, very
Speaker 1: appreciate every single clan who spend money with me, you know,
Speaker 1: And in order to return back my shation, I tried
Speaker 1: the best instead instead of trans the customer, I tried
Speaker 1: the best to do the shortcut on the back end,
Speaker 1: like file the manufacturer found a way to produce cheaper
Speaker 1: productive so I can bring it to the table real
Speaker 1: good deal because if you buy the peace regardless, you
Speaker 1: spend money regardless, But how can what can I do
Speaker 1: to give to you the same piece real good deal
Speaker 1: that people cannot give you. So that's the way to
Speaker 1: so appreciate the customers, this game beyond belief, Like goddamn John,
Speaker 1: That's the way I do. That's is that touch like
Speaker 1: symbol of this like that's that's why I build a
Speaker 1: manufacturer too, with the in hour labor just like I'm
Speaker 1: in said like I said this one. If regular jeweler
Speaker 1: they don't have a set the in house, they pay
Speaker 1: every single diamond like five six dollars. Butst things we
Speaker 1: do in the house, I trained from beginning, so we're
Speaker 1: paid by hour. So that's produced the cost of set there,
Speaker 1: you know, so I can for the customer deal, he said,
Speaker 1: beat the customer with the profits. I'm gonna beat with manufacturer.
Speaker 1: I came to every single manufacturer, gave them big order
Speaker 1: and make sure they gave me the low bottom price.
Speaker 1: So just a diamond by itself, I buy thirty per
Speaker 1: cent cheaper than market broker judge the price of you know, labor,
Speaker 1: I said, a lot of labor. That's that's the cat
Speaker 1: can I get off? You always got a better than
Speaker 1: you see the ways you know, I tried to explain it.
Speaker 1: That's that's the best way to appreciate customer, to pronounce
Speaker 1: the best product was really good deal. Because I believe
Speaker 1: every business I do, I believe on long term business.
Speaker 1: That's the way to term that's coffee. Been spending for
Speaker 1: years with me. You got a necklace, don't do that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, low key. I got this
Speaker 1: from TV. Johnny brought us from TV Journey Johnny, what's
Speaker 1: some of the what are some of the challenges you
Speaker 1: face being in the jewelry industry? A lot of challenge, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, to keep a business up and down. You know,
Speaker 1: no ship always busy and slow, busy and slow. I
Speaker 1: got the big stop because in order to DUDEO manufacturer
Speaker 1: is tough. You got to you gotta people. But when
Speaker 1: the business slow, you have to pay. I gotta like
Speaker 1: and if any people right now in the building, right now,
Speaker 1: right now, so the bill. The challenges how to keep
Speaker 1: up to pay them on time? You know, minimum hour
Speaker 1: had to be for the hour because the jeweler can
Speaker 1: just stay going work fitting to the hour like part
Speaker 1: time had to be four times you know all the
Speaker 1: way they're leaving. In order to keep the good jewelers,
Speaker 1: the kids stop. They had to get enough paid. That's
Speaker 1: a very big challenge when business low. You know, That's
Speaker 1: why I ask you about that because I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people just see the blame. They only see
Speaker 1: the success. They don't know the struggle and they just
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, he did, I can do it,
Speaker 1: just jump right in and they get blindsided the challenges.
Speaker 1: Did you guys experience any uh particular challenges during the
Speaker 1: pandemic lockdown? You know, how did you keep your seventy
Speaker 1: five employees working during the lockdown? How did you have
Speaker 1: some of them? We have a fairy employees who left.
Speaker 1: We're gonna got the long the left. But very lucky
Speaker 1: most of my employees, you know, it's very very lawyers
Speaker 1: stay very long with me. So it's a good But
Speaker 1: I also try very hard to keep up the work
Speaker 1: just to be testing, not work for them to be survised.
Speaker 1: You know when when a's slow time, right, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I have to be right a lot of backup job
Speaker 1: just for the slow time. What do you think about
Speaker 1: celebrities that where I faked jury? Um honestly said, you know,
Speaker 1: jewels kind of like deshined the promotion for the The
Speaker 1: Rapper and Uh, to me, I don't think nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with it. You know, if you cannot afford the real
Speaker 1: when you can wear something face, it's not a problem.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that everyone can get by the real
Speaker 1: one right away. You know, like me and myself, I
Speaker 1: couldn't fall any until like thirty three years and when
Speaker 1: it came here, so I just well, some fay one,
Speaker 1: right So you even you were perpetrating the fraud. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're saying that, Hey, you know, ain't no big
Speaker 1: deal man. You know you know well what you know
Speaker 1: what makes you sleep good? Why do you like it?
Speaker 1: But that don't try to be get something that you
Speaker 1: can affords and that you can a fall you feel
Speaker 1: comfortable with, You're happy with it. It don't matter. It's
Speaker 1: real fail, you know, but imagine it's real fake man.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be walking around a fac skin
Speaker 1: and turn not necessarily ship you got some fake on you.
Speaker 1: That's a white kind of fake. You just like silver
Speaker 1: and diamond. You're different, you know. But I think it's
Speaker 1: I think if you're gonna wear jewlry, though, uh you should,
Speaker 1: it should be within your means. I don't think a
Speaker 1: person should be going out of that way to buy
Speaker 1: jury that they really can't afford it. Johnny just admitted itself.
Speaker 1: He said, hell, he wore fake jury when he was
Speaker 1: coming up because he didn't have the money. So if
Speaker 1: it looks nice, but not a bit fake, you know,
Speaker 1: something like if it looks nice. If it looks nice,
Speaker 1: that's not true. If it looks good on you and
Speaker 1: you can't afford a damn you oh something that up there?
Speaker 1: Don't do it? Why not? Don't do it? If it
Speaker 1: looks good on you. Let me tell you something. You
Speaker 1: see that shirt you got on? That shirt is fake,
Speaker 1: but it looks good on me. See what I'm saying? What?
Speaker 1: What fake? Is it? Though? It's just about the brain.
Speaker 1: It's all about the brand and my brand. You don't
Speaker 1: know what I don't. I don't. I don't advertise people's
Speaker 1: brands on my ship, so you can't. I don't either,
Speaker 1: but I could I could. Kind of cup of ice
Speaker 1: is fake too, man, This is not I I don't
Speaker 1: give a fake. Whatever it is, it's fake. Do you
Speaker 1: think the icens the waters? Ice had to be it
Speaker 1: was ice at one point you had to be And
Speaker 1: it's fake fake. Okay, back to Johnny. You mean to
Speaker 1: tell me that all this time we thought you was
Speaker 1: wearing real ship, your ship was fake? Dude? No, of course,
Speaker 1: you know it cannot be faid if you pay, If
Speaker 1: you pay for the shover I can make shover it's
Speaker 1: but you pay for diamond. I don't give you c Z.
Speaker 1: Did you give me? You know what I'm saying, that's
Speaker 1: a real diamond. Did you give me? Now? I say,
Speaker 1: if you'mond, have you ever been have you ever had
Speaker 1: any of your products accused of being unauthentic? I did
Speaker 1: have a one time. Yeah, because um, I'm the jeweler, right,
Speaker 1: So all the custom watches people want to set a
Speaker 1: diamond in there, and uh, they just came to us
Speaker 1: and set put the diamond in there one time. One
Speaker 1: I have a client who brought to me the AP wash.
Speaker 1: God damn the AP but they just asked me to
Speaker 1: set a diamond. So my job is set a diamond.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. We are dropping not verify
Speaker 1: his real faith. That's a customer wash. You have to
Speaker 1: be all know, that's customer wants. Yeah. And then we
Speaker 1: we got the picture of that wash because the diamond
Speaker 1: we said very nice, you know, and we took to
Speaker 1: get you the picture to you for the website. So
Speaker 1: so buzzes. Yeah, they say, I said the faith was
Speaker 1: I say, I explained to them very clear that this
Speaker 1: is a customer wash. So when customers go to us
Speaker 1: and like I say it, they even cannot afford. You know,
Speaker 1: they just want the diamond. We don't. We just did
Speaker 1: the diamond for the wash. I said, the diamond on
Speaker 1: a lot of watches, and then we don't even verify
Speaker 1: some of them. We know, fight we tell the customer.
Speaker 1: He you know, you know what'sn't not real, right, It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I want you said diamond in there.
Speaker 1: So I'm the jewelers. I'm just doing it. But that's
Speaker 1: all the only time. It's tough stories. But the public,
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to go to the public. I say, oh,
Speaker 1: why you sell the faith wash in your opinion? You know,
Speaker 1: these watches, this jury costs a lot of money, a
Speaker 1: lot of these juries. Like if you bust down and watch,
Speaker 1: it costs a lot of money in your opinion, m hm,
Speaker 1: that is that a smart thing for a person to
Speaker 1: do is to buy bust down watch versus and watch
Speaker 1: that it is already has the diamonds and that's that's
Speaker 1: that's manufactured by by well, that's designed by the manufacturer.
Speaker 1: Let me answer that question for one man. When it
Speaker 1: depreciates when you poke holes in the middle, I know
Speaker 1: that I'm just asking questions editing. When you buy anything,
Speaker 1: the depreciation either depends on what the purpose you buy
Speaker 1: for it. You know, when you buy the diamond wash,
Speaker 1: you know that we'll be depreciate, but what the proposing
Speaker 1: thing is. You're meanting to buy the wash to buy
Speaker 1: jury through to do promote, to get to promote. Just
Speaker 1: like you spend money to promote yourself album or your
Speaker 1: song on radio or TV. That's money is gone because
Speaker 1: you have to pay for the radio companies to promote. Right,
Speaker 1: But you buy the wash for yourself for promotion purpose,
Speaker 1: you still benefit because you're still on the wash, even
Speaker 1: the deduction, but it's still worked it. You know the
Speaker 1: reduced right in there. But if you wear juries, the
Speaker 1: same thing right now, you put two on the campaign
Speaker 1: and advertised, so that's money for the campag is might
Speaker 1: be gone. But you put two thou because social media
Speaker 1: is so big and you invest yourself, you promote, it's
Speaker 1: my this work double than what you pay for. Right
Speaker 1: If you spent two thousands on the juries and make
Speaker 1: a real nice one, they go viral on social medias,
Speaker 1: not much public city. You you spend a seme amount,
Speaker 1: you might not buy the same you know to to me,
Speaker 1: that's with the like the artists, um, the hip hop community,
Speaker 1: and that's the that's a smart invest If you invest
Speaker 1: your said, you got your jurry, you do a lot
Speaker 1: of promotion, you know why not, and then you always
Speaker 1: can get the money back. It's not like just it's done.
Speaker 1: That's the reason. That's why I feel not a lot
Speaker 1: of regulate, but put a lot of more money on
Speaker 1: radio or TV advertise they'd rather get artists of jewelry's yeah,
Speaker 1: because I should we promote something himself that you've designed
Speaker 1: jewelry for a lot of celebrities, a lot of big
Speaker 1: people people. Was a name of somebody who we may
Speaker 1: not expect that you have designed something for? Of course, Uh,
Speaker 1: Kanye West is the biggest. You know you mean somebody
Speaker 1: I somebody who we might not expect. It's hard you
Speaker 1: ever did a piece for Martha Stewart or somebody like that, Donna?
Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't. What about did you do something for
Speaker 1: you did something for Kodak Black? The hip thinking I'm
Speaker 1: good at big and you know, well know and hip
Speaker 1: hop community says, and then then what I love to
Speaker 1: do something for Obama precedents you should just do it
Speaker 1: and didn't send it to him. Yes, I'm gonna yeah,
Speaker 1: he will here. Well I started TV Johnny Chain on
Speaker 1: this ship. I don't know about that, but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: sure if he sent him something like that. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta send Obama something plain and simple. Man, he
Speaker 1: ain't gonna rock, right, you gotta send in one of these.
Speaker 1: Send that to the president of these. Do you have kids? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got to yeah, right, I sitting and and a half.
Speaker 1: Are they working in the shop. No, they still on
Speaker 1: school right now? Are they blamed up? They go to
Speaker 1: school and blame but planned to put up in business.
Speaker 1: So my goal really to turn my kids to to
Speaker 1: do business because you know, I read asked. Because Asian families,
Speaker 1: you know, they start to keep it out early in
Speaker 1: the story, like four years old, making transaction. That's how
Speaker 1: my kids doing. Now for the summer, they get to
Speaker 1: the shop, they work. They still that I pay them though,
Speaker 1: to be fair, so they's locking get to the shop.
Speaker 1: And so they loved the business. They love the family
Speaker 1: business and they want to shy away from it. They
Speaker 1: kind of love it. You know how kid is you
Speaker 1: have to and direct them when it was a kid.
Speaker 1: Give them the ideas. Why did the benefits? First? The school?
Speaker 1: Of course, you know you have to finish school, college
Speaker 1: and then and give them the goal because after school
Speaker 1: you still have to go to the business. Whatever you do,
Speaker 1: you still have to work to make to make money.
Speaker 1: So business is the idea, you know, to give them
Speaker 1: the goal. So my daughter they started getting the major
Speaker 1: and business major. So even she only eleventh grade now,
Speaker 1: but she takes a lot of business class. And then
Speaker 1: see you doing the school. They got to like business program,
Speaker 1: so she joined up. You know, so when they give
Speaker 1: them the idea from when it was a kid doing business,
Speaker 1: he though the kid. I want them to do it
Speaker 1: and motivate them so they like it. That's the thing
Speaker 1: is a kid right now, you're very tough. You have
Speaker 1: to train them from young and and show them what
Speaker 1: they like. If they don't like it, you kind of
Speaker 1: make them doing it. It's so tough, right playing ideas,
Speaker 1: giving them the options. They put them in a position
Speaker 1: and then so they can have options. Ryan, but I
Speaker 1: showed them how too late more earned themselves instead of
Speaker 1: just give to them. You know, that's why I made kids.
Speaker 1: Do you give them an allowance I'm sorry. Do your
Speaker 1: kids get an allowance every week? Do you give them
Speaker 1: money every No? No, you don't give him no money.
Speaker 1: They have to work for it. They for whatever they
Speaker 1: expended for it. That's why I gave them an officer here.
Speaker 1: You want to spend more money, you have to get
Speaker 1: earn more. They got their own a cow. Do they
Speaker 1: have a trust fund? Do your kids have a trust fund? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course, but they don't know that. They don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the most expensive piece you ever made? On the pieces?
Speaker 1: I do a lot of right now and make a
Speaker 1: lot of diamond rings. The diamond rings like tanks that spens.
Speaker 1: But the piece of bigger piece of make it, I
Speaker 1: believe the golden and five caras and five kilo goal
Speaker 1: just one and who was that for? Just for one
Speaker 1: of random guys? Yeah? Yeah, I had to make five
Speaker 1: kilo piece display at home. And what's something like that
Speaker 1: cars that's back there? Like to SENTI five five don't
Speaker 1: know it has diamonds in it? It just go starlet's go.
Speaker 1: But the average in hip hop pieces just like two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, two d thos, you know, two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars Johnny the it's not not like big
Speaker 1: diamond rings. Have you ever did a piece for somebody
Speaker 1: for like in the millions, anything like anything around that area.
Speaker 1: It's not, of course the total expanding millions. Like Rick Ross,
Speaker 1: you know what function was his jewelry spent more than
Speaker 1: way more than millions, but not in one piece like
Speaker 1: the necklace and the piece that just did for Ross.
Speaker 1: You know that's counts a lot of money and individual
Speaker 1: added up more way more than millions of dollars one piece.
Speaker 1: Did you do that piece for Rick Ross that has
Speaker 1: like his face, it's a it's a facial piece. Oh no, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't do that piece. I don't think he's still
Speaker 1: have that piece. Do you mean the faith with the class?
Speaker 1: I think he I think he had glasses on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ross alway in training in juries. You know, he always
Speaker 1: come up with the new piece, new jury's. I don't
Speaker 1: know where he lived all his jury, but they have
Speaker 1: a lot of jurory collection. Man, what happened to that
Speaker 1: show you had on Vice dot com? You know what's
Speaker 1: going on with that? No, it's cool they to do
Speaker 1: like forfight stories advice, I think just for YouTube. And
Speaker 1: they tried to ask me to do kind of like
Speaker 1: reality TV show. What I really don't want to do
Speaker 1: is just too much. They need to ask him in drama,
Speaker 1: you know, for the TV. For reality TV, you need
Speaker 1: to ask some more drama, some family size. But I
Speaker 1: don't want to put my family in in TV that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they want to know all your personal business and they
Speaker 1: need that drama, they need conflict, and that's really not you.
Speaker 1: That's You're not that kind of person. But I do,
Speaker 1: I do believe that there's an audience for a TV
Speaker 1: Johnny Um what they call the reality show. I believe
Speaker 1: it's an audience for that because you know, everybody, it's
Speaker 1: just not about the drama. I know, the drama is
Speaker 1: for a lot of these TV exacts, the drama is
Speaker 1: the low hanging fruit. You know, it's easy to just
Speaker 1: throw watch some throw out a show till everybody go
Speaker 1: at each other. The crazy part about it, man, You know,
Speaker 1: like we always talk about how we want to see
Speaker 1: some positivity and all that kind of stuff, and we
Speaker 1: frown on all of the negativity. But the number when
Speaker 1: the numbers come back, it's the negative stuff that get
Speaker 1: all of the views. Ain't there something like a lot
Speaker 1: of the negative stuff. That's that's what it is for me,
Speaker 1: right now, whatever negative you do, this come out crazy news,
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff. I asked on my own channel,
Speaker 1: like I asked my viewers on Willie d Live on
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel. I was like, you know, like till me, like,
Speaker 1: what what kind of stories y'all y'all want? Right? Sad
Speaker 1: like crime and punishment, had like uh you know politics, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, race all this type of stuff, right, and oh,
Speaker 1: celebrity news okay, just off. Oh and social issues right
Speaker 1: so and and and uh uh family and relationships and
Speaker 1: then that was just positive news, right. Guess what the
Speaker 1: guess what they said? What's the number one thing they
Speaker 1: wanted probably miss propaganda? What they said? They wanted positive news, right,
Speaker 1: that's number one? Number one? What's positive news? You know?
Speaker 1: And Kanye is divorce? I guess say, I guess, I
Speaker 1: guess just just feel good stories, you know, like cat
Speaker 1: got saved from the tree. You know, the guy working
Speaker 1: at the restaurant, you know, was walking five miles a
Speaker 1: day to work and the community and bought him a car.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what they say. But I disagree with you.
Speaker 1: What I disagree with I disagree with with with you
Speaker 1: on that because I know for a fact that that
Speaker 1: ain't what they want because I post it all day long.
Speaker 1: Well you disagree with them, I because I just took
Speaker 1: the pole and man, that polis is not right, Willie,
Speaker 1: because man, I can post some ship talking about you know,
Speaker 1: black history and and and and in the condition to
Speaker 1: black people, brown people and and and nothing. But if
Speaker 1: I say some ship like uh something crazy as fuck,
Speaker 1: you know, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: it's like we love stupid controversy or poking the bag.
Speaker 1: That's as much game as Johnny has exchanged with us. Today.
Speaker 1: People are gonna get piste off at that and not
Speaker 1: watch it because it's it's it's educational. This was a
Speaker 1: learning moment right here. People don't want to hear nothing
Speaker 1: about ship they can learn about, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They'd rather watch something, Yeah, who's fucking who and who's
Speaker 1: getting fat? Right as they don't funk about nothing else
Speaker 1: but who's fucking who and who's getting fat? But that's
Speaker 1: that's why I even I told trade advice anybody to
Speaker 1: read that be out of this show. I want to
Speaker 1: do some motivate for the kids, teaching them like, hey,
Speaker 1: you have you have much more chance than me when
Speaker 1: you wanting American you know, and they say, man, noo,
Speaker 1: they're gonna to view that. They want to do like
Speaker 1: you said, they want something like real negatives and they do.
Speaker 1: But you know, you got your own camera crew, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta do It's just just go yeah, recorded and
Speaker 1: chop that stuff up and then send it to some
Speaker 1: of the networks because networks are begging for content they
Speaker 1: all need. And Johnny, Johnny walking around with his own
Speaker 1: fucking theme music and ship too, all this ship happening
Speaker 1: camera and everywhere you go, Bro, you draw a crowd.
Speaker 1: People know you have an affectionate energy. You have an
Speaker 1: energy about yourself that people appreciate. So people would watch you,
Speaker 1: you know, like, look, man, I've seen it all and
Speaker 1: I watch you when I see you when you come
Speaker 1: into the room, Johnny, you know what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: just you like the room. And that's something that man, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's something that people. I do believe that people would
Speaker 1: pay for that, pay to see that. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you something. I don't watch television the last time.
Speaker 1: I don't even have I have a televigent vision in
Speaker 1: my house. But you know, I haven't watched television at
Speaker 1: my house and about eight months, I just don't watch
Speaker 1: television Internet, you know. Yeah, yeah, that's like Slam. You
Speaker 1: know Slam the watch TV. He watched it, as he said,
Speaker 1: it's how you get his news through Instagram. The news breaking,
Speaker 1: news breaking, survived because it's so late. All the news
Speaker 1: come out, they go first. People can't wait because you know,
Speaker 1: the news has to have a structure and they have
Speaker 1: to they got timelines and all of this type of stuff.
Speaker 1: And you can't just just jump anything on there, like
Speaker 1: something major major, they'll stop, you know, a major major death,
Speaker 1: uh war going on something, a big big shootout, mass murder, okay, stop.
Speaker 1: But everything else has to wait. And social media you
Speaker 1: don't have to wait. The social media doesn't make you wait.
Speaker 1: Social media will let you take off, take off at
Speaker 1: the gig. What you got coming up? Man? I know
Speaker 1: you shouldn't really do something with television though, you know,
Speaker 1: because you know, I think I think that the world
Speaker 1: needs that type of energy, and I think it would
Speaker 1: be good for people to see how you move around,
Speaker 1: not knowing that man, But people would love to hear
Speaker 1: your story. Man, I think your story is immaculate. Man,
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Appreciate that made me think we might do
Speaker 1: something so story for the movie. But my coming up
Speaker 1: it's just more concentrating. I always concentrating business because to
Speaker 1: keep it up, and there have to be with a
Speaker 1: lot of energy in there, not only on production but
Speaker 1: on some promotion on So I invest on crypto. You know,
Speaker 1: crypto is so popular right now. I had to adapt
Speaker 1: my business with the crypto. So I accept a lot
Speaker 1: of people pay jewelry by a teddim big koy. Do
Speaker 1: you have do you have some crypto? Yeah? We are
Speaker 1: some that sometime I just kind of like spa what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's going down, you know where it's like
Speaker 1: you say, you know, the market go up and it
Speaker 1: go down. That's how just like it's life, crypto business, business,
Speaker 1: it's up and down. So so I'm really take eventtl
Speaker 1: a sept for my business when they're going up. People
Speaker 1: didn't spend money with the crypto easily. I'm just ter
Speaker 1: I'm just totally out of the crypto game right now.
Speaker 1: It's just very risky. He's very very risky. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: uh here's the thing like with crypto, you know, like
Speaker 1: you know, people say what goes up must come down
Speaker 1: in crypto, if you own a good project, what goes
Speaker 1: down must come up, will come up. And so I
Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of time like people that don't
Speaker 1: believe in crypto. I don't spend a lot of time
