5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: I got it right right. We had to cut that

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: last one.

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: We had to cut. We had to get a tray.

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: You Rothman is in the building. And just for just

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: a little backstory before we get into the interview, guys,

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: he's the owner of Wangs and Things in Venice Beach.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite go to spots. If

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: you know me, you know that the weekends are solely

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: dedicated to living like a four year old. But we

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: got to add some adulting fun into it, so WANs

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: and Things is a part of that. I come there

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: very often. I have a punch guard, you know, and

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: I bring a lot of people. I usually introduce somebody

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: to the spot. Even though the guy that hands out

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: the samples he does an amazing job at thank you.

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's awesome.

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: He does a great job. And we don't even use

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: the punch card anymore. We have we're all digital now,

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: so you put you putting a number and it's like

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: using the punch cards, so it keeps track of your orders.

25
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, and just so you guys know, my favorite

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: thing to order is the well it's it's pretty much everything.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: The secret I think to what makes wings and things

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: so special for all y'all wondering what kind of food

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: it is, Like wings, it's potato, It's shrimp.

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: Shrimp sha it pole Boys.

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm from the South, so a lot of the food

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: is originated from the South, so the Pole Boys. There's

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: a lot of vegans and vegetarians in this area, so

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: we had to create some foods that cater to them,

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: like the mushroom sandwich, califlower sandwich.

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: You haven't seen that yet.

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to do a review of

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: all the different I stick to what I know, like

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the potato. You know what it is. It's whatever he

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: hands out in the samples. Yes, that's what I get.

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So maybe.

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I need to explore outside there it is there.

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: It is people when they typically see this, get the

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: samples outside. That's what they want. Oh, let me get

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: what I had out there. But when you get to

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: then when you get to the front of our establishment,

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: you know, our whole menu is out in the front.

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: So there's so many other options for people to choose.

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I see them too. I don't know why

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: that so. So just so you guys know, what makes

51
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: I think makes it special is the sauce is finger

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: looking good? And then I have never met someone that

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: has mastered frying as well as you.

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, because that's big. I think that I haven't.

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: Been doing this for two years now. Really keep in

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: mind that they never really cooked ever, so not at all.

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I think the way he fries is simply fantastic. I

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: think about it sometimes I'm like, damn, how does he

59
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: master it so well? I don't know if you've timed

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: it how you got it to weigh three? Interesting?

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: My friars stay at three for all of my foods,

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: and when I see it has that right Chris, That

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: just it's side of there.

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Oh you know, yeah, all right, So just and I

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: wanted you guys just to hear from me, you know

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: what it is I like about the restaurant. But I

67
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: was very excited when Atrey you hit me up in

68
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: the DMS because we had talked. I said, man, you know,

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: should come on the show. And the follow up game

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: was real and yes, I'm very excited to have you

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: and know your backstory. Did not know two years. But

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: we're about to get into it. But before we get

73
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: into your story, I need to know what you are

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: going to have me eating today as your broke dish.

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: M okay, my broke dish.

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: When she was like, what did you eat while you

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: were broke, had to think of the time when I

78
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: was broke and on the struggle and I was in jail,

79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: you know, and when you're in jail, you don't have

80
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: too many options when it comes to food, you know.

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: You know, I was eating typically what they what they

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: served at lunch, you know. But then when you get

83
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: that commentsary list and you get to pick out what

84
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: you want. I never dabbled with rice paper.

85
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is up with this? You know, so

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 2: you know you're in jail, you have a lot of time,

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: so let's figure this out.

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: So I came up with this rice paper startine veggie roll.

89
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Okay.

90
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: I made it for myself. First, people walk by, what

91
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: are you making?

92
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: Hey?

93
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: Sit down, see if you like it. And then it

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: turned into a every Thursday a tray. You's making the

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: rice paper meal.

96
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Oh so did you start to like cooking when you

97
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: were in jail, well, being creative.

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: Well, I've always been into, you know, just putting a

99
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: meal together, typically for myself or my guest. You know,

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: being in you know, being locked away, you know, it

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: only heightens, you know, your creativeness, especially when you're so

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: limited to Hey, what can I put together? I would

103
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: make my meals for myself and when you know, friends

104
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: walked by, what are you making? I don't even know.

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm just putting it together, you know. That was really

106
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: my answer. But it tasted very good, you know. So

107
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: it turned out with me to a whole group of

108
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: ten people every Thursday. You know, they would all bring

109
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: their own ingredients.

110
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh oh, and it was.

111
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: Like a like a little potluck, you know for the

112
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: sardines and veggie roll.

113
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Now, when people think of jail, I e me, guys,

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not. I've only been to jail for

115
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: like twenty four hours, so my experience is very limited.

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: But you don't think of jail as a place where

117
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: you can like pick rice paper as well.

118
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: I was at a camp. I was at a camp.

119
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: A camp is where they typically send like if the.

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Mayor goes to jail.

121
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: Oh, is it like like a yeah, the FED, that's

122
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: like the nice jail, right.

123
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had pool tables there. I learned how to

124
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: shoot pul Oh. I'm a pull shark now, you know,

125
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: because where you have nothing but time, you know, hey,

126
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: let me perfect this, you know. So it was a

127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: place where, you know, it was kind of like bunk style,

128
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: you know, open area. If you cause any type of

129
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: ruckus in there, they'll send you to a different level

130
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: to where you won't have as much leniency. You know,

131
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: there was there was it like you could walk off

132
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: and leave the whole facility. It wasn't it wasn't gated.

133
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: So at a camp like literally you have they call

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: them walk offs, you know, and they they broadcast them

135
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: on the news at night. Hey, this inmate has walked off,

136
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: you know, like yeah, you know it's but you don't

137
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: want to mess up here because if you go there,

138
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: then you're typically you only have at least like three

139
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 3: five to five years and under left on your sentence.

140
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: So some people were there for twenty years and then

141
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: they're praying that they could get to a camp, because

142
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: you get to a camp, it's just you know, an easy,

143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: easy glide through for the rest of your sentence.

144
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: So and I'd imagine it's a good semi transition back

145
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: to life.

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, absolutely, because you have opportunities to have a

147
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: job outside of jail, you know, so like you.

148
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Can go and then come back and you just sleep

149
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: there and.

150
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: If you go come back, get a furlough and you know,

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: go see your family, that type of thing. I was

152
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: sentenced to a year and a half. Excuse me, a

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: year and a day.

154
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: A year and a day.

155
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Did it feel like a year and a day?

156
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: It felt like a year and a day because when

157
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: when they sentenced you to a year and a day,

158
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: You're you're supposed to go home in like six months.

159
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: But when the six month hit, I was supposed to

160
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: go and go to my father's for the rest of

161
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: my term in Mississippi.

162
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

163
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: And then when they called me in for that six

164
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: that six month hit, they called me into the office

165
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: and said that my dad denied me from going out there.

166
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: Then it felt like a year and a day because

167
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: I had to stay the whole year and a day.

168
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, that year in a day was an

169
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: actual year in a day.

170
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Okay, now, and now I'm just curious.

171
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I got denied no, what what did you do?

172
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: What I do? You know?

00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Guy and he books me on a flight first class

182
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120

Speaker 3: it was like one hundred dollars round trip.

193
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: For it was right. So so I was charging people.

194
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760

00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: just thinking this guy is just booking, because he would

200
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: just send me the flight information.

201
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: I send it to my people and they go on

202
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: their way.

203
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Only only a little bit.

204
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: I was at my top until until right one of

205
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: my friends called me booked them a flight and he's like, hey,

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: they said the credit card didn't go through with this flight.

207
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: And I'm like, hold on, let me call this guy

208
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: and tell them, Hey, what's happening.

209
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: I called him.

210
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, my friend is stuck at the airport.

211
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: They said the credit card didn't go through. He's I

212
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: don't worry, I'll rebook him. Rebooked them, and he was

213
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: on the next flight out right. But at that point,

214
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, this guy is using credit cards to

215
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 3: book people on flights, you know. And I knew at

216
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: that point this this is like three months into I'm so.

217
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: Dumb because it took me a minute to catch up. Yeah,

218
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: so basically he was paying for.

219
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: He was paying for the flight, but with other people's

220
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: credit cards. Yes, So I figured this out, and I

221
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: remember It's funny how God works really in your life

222
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: and he gives you your decisions and you got to

223
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: make him. Right then, i was sitting on the curb

224
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: outside and I'm like, wow, okay, so he's using people's

225
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: credit cards to book people's flights. I'm like something like this.

226
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: I feel like I could get like five years for

227
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: doing something like this. Like this was a thought in

228
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: my head right and I'm like, I have my decision

229
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: to stop right then, or you know, keep going and

230
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: taking mind like I'm modeling at this time, like I'm

231
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: in front of people's.

00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: Faces, I'm behind it can.

233
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was booking modeling gigs, but those gigs

234
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: were just paying my cell phone bill, you know what

235
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying. But I'm a flight I'm a flight agent

236
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: right now. Like I'm like I'm getting I mean hints.

237
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: Like as soon as I was like five years for

238
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: something like this, I got a text message from one

239
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: of my people that wanted to fly.

240
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the test. This is the test.

241
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: I'm looking at like three hundred dollars right here or

242
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: just completely stop. And I was like I'm taking this

243
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: three hundred, you know, And I kept going and I

244
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: did it for like two more years. I'm telling you,

245
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: like that.

246
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: Where was where was the look that they were hitting me?

247
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, look, I got you.

248
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: I'm hitting up this other guy because I'm not really

249
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: I'm not booking, I'm never I'm never touching anything.

250
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: You're like a degree away from separation. Yes, I'm just

251
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: curious how your brain just magically thought like, hey, I

252
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: could get five years. Well did you google?

253
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: Well? No, it was just a feeling. It was just

254
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: a feeling.

255
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: And then let's let's just fast forward to the Feds

256
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: coming to my place of residence and I wasn't there,

269
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: I'm with my girlfriend at the time, and I do

270
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: one of those sit ups in the bed.

272
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: Happening, right. But what was happening was something that I

273
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: knew two years ago. When I told you I was

274
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: sitting at the I'm like, Okay, this is supposed to

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: be happening.

276
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: You know. I was on the run for like two days,

277
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: and then yeah, I was.

278
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: I was getting as much information as I could about

279
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: the situation from.

280
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: Office. Look, no, I was not calling that nigga.

281
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: He was the last person I wanted to talk to

282
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: because I'm like they listening to his phone calls.

283
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: I was listen this guy.

284
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm so bad because I would have been.

285
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: Calling him like you you would you you would think that,

286
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: but at the time, you're like, he's the person that's

287
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: doing the bookies and stuff, like they're already like super

288
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 3: on him, so don't even want to contact him, right,

289
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: But however, there were he was, as I guess, I

290
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: was like a pawn in a sense because he had

291
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: like thirty other people that were sending him flights and stuff.

292
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: So I got word that those other you know ten

293
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: people that were in LA you know, they got out

294
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: as soon as they turned their self in, that type

295
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: of thing.

296
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: So I turned myself in.

297
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: I was on pre trial for a year, for about

298
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: a year, you know, basically just going through the whole process. Yeah,

299
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: I turned myself in, like hey, I'm who you're looking for,

300
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: you know.

301
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: And it was a little process.

302
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: I think I did like one day in jail and

303
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: then they just released me because I was on pre

304
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: trial release. Pre trial is where you go through the

305
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: whole process until you're sentenced.

306
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: You know.

307
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: I didn't have anything else on my record. It's my

308
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: very first thing. So they let me out on pre trial.

309
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: And at that time, I got busy on my modeling situation,

310
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: you know, because I'm like, okay, no more flight man, like.

311
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: Me, let me get out there and let me. Let

312
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: me go back to it.

313
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: And you know what, when I when I did go

314
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: back to it, I booked like one of the biggest

315
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: gigs that I've ever done in my life. I did

316
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: a video called super Base with Nicki Minaj and I

317
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: was the main guy. Yeah, I was the main guy

318
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: on that video that they was throwing like the stuff

319
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: in the pool. It was, Yeah, it was, it was.

320
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: It was a fun experience, you know. But I was

321
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: doing what I should have already been doing all these

322
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: years ago, you know. And but everything does happen for

323
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: a reason, because you know, when I when I ended

324
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: up getting sentenced to the camp, you know, I'm now

325
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: in a facility with people that have been locked up

326
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: for years, people that have been business owners that have

327
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: made millions of dollars.

328
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I was going to say, because the FED prison, I

329
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: would feel like it's almost like the how do I

330
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: word this without was making it glorified? But like you

331
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: have people was some astounding.

332
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh amazing, Like I was literally playing cards with a

333
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: millionaire billionaires, you know what I'm saying. Like these guys,

334
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: you know, obviously money doesn't matter right now, but they're

335
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: just them, you know. And I knew when I when

336
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: I was to get out that I didn't want to

337
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: model anymore. I wanted to be an entrepreneur, Like I

338
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: wanted to do something that was going to bring in

339
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: that bread, you know, and to where I could live

340
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: the life that I was faking when I was modeling,

341
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So you know, when I

342
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: when I got released. It was just I knew I

343
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna, you know, get into anything that was going

344
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: to put me back in jail, of course.

345
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: You know, and.

346
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: You know it was it was definitely a journey because

347
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: I was in my thirties, you know, and I was

348
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: told by somebody, you know, when you hit your thirties

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: as a man, you know you're going to be faced

350
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: with either looking real forward, going forward, or stepping back

351
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: and acting like you're in your twenties and not really

352
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: you know.

353
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: Grow you know.

354
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that. I never heard that.

355
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: I was told that by somebody. You know.

356
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I do think that people either go

357
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: with and I'm guessing it's either you break out of

358
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: your comfort zone in your thirties you say okay, that's it,

359
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: or you backside and say you don't want this is

360
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: where I'm comfortable at and that would be when you go.

00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: of really started to get into entrepreneurship because of the

419
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,840

00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: where you know, it's either you you grow or you don't.

427
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 3: You know, It's like, why are these people in my

428
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: life right now? That's how I look at life. You know.

429
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,879

430
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: was there where you know, once you complete the program,

431
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: you know, you get achievements and things like that. And

432
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: we were all asked a question like in a big circle,

433
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: like where are you going to take from this aspect

434
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: of your life?

435
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: And one gentleman in the circle.

436
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: He's like, he was like, oh, this part of my

437
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: life never happened, Like God, I'm just going to delete

438
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: this part of my life out.

439
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: And I get that. You know, the average person is gonna,

440
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, feel that way. Jail Hell.

441
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: I got to remember he probably was experiencing an amazing

442
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: life before.

443
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was he was done with it. But I'm

444
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: listening to him, and I'm like, there's zero way how

445
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: I could take this away from my life.

446
00:19:59,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: You know.

447
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: I I have kids, you know, I have to teach

448
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: them about, you know, the rights and wrongs and repercussions,

449
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, and like, this is definitely an experience that

450
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: I'll speak of proudly, you know, not that it happened,

451
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: but you know, I'm able to talk about something that,

452
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: you know, that could potentially.

453
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: Happen to you.

454
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: You know, you never know in life, you know, and

455
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: the positives that came from it. Because if it wasn't

456
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: for that, I don't think I would have been as

457
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 3: ambitious to thrive to you know, want to have my

458
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: own business as much.

459
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,359

468
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,359

470
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: and some.

471
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 3: Garlic herb from dads, right so, and plus the the

472
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: sardines already has some flavor.

473
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, already the flavor in it too, so you don't

474
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: need too much.

475
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: And we're just gonna let this heat up and cook

476
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: for about seven minutes and we're going to come back

477
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: to that because the rest. As a matter of fact,

478
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: like we can already start with this right.

479
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: Now. Do you think that you would have walked away

480
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: with so much impact had your dad not turned you

481
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: down for the for the six months, Like, do you

482
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: think you would have? Because if I'm staying somewhere short term,

483
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, I just want to do my time

484
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: to get out. But do you think that the extension

485
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: made you really look at things a little differently?

486
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: Well, it absolutely did, you know, because my dad's situation

487
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: was kind of a support situation. You know, I had

488
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: plans on going out there and helping my father as

489
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: much as I could because he was getting older and

490
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: he was working just as much as he's always have.

491
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: He's always been an entrepreneur, hisself always would say I'm

492
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: self sufficient and independent.

493
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: That was his thing. You know.

494
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: He worked in New Orleans at the French Quarters, and

495
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: I wanted to go out there and help him and

496
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: so where he didn't have to, you know, work too hard,

497
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: you know. But being that the turn was, you know,

498
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: I didn't go out there, and it's like, okay, it's

499
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: just me, Like this venture in life is just.

500
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: Me right now?

501
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: Were you mad at him when he did that?

502
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: Initially till I figured out why he did it. And

503
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: it was my sister that told him to say no

504
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: because she felt like he would be enabling me, and

505
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: because he was ready, like, son, you come in, we're

506
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 3: about to be about to and all of a sudden

507
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: it's like no, you know, and my sister enabled to.

508
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: Well, my sister told him to say no. And that

509
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: was a situation that you know, I'm like.

510
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 4: Okay, I was mad at I was mad at the

511
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: sister because literally, like two years later, my dad ended

512
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: up in the hospice, the hospice, I'm like, what is

513
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: he in the hospice for?

514
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 2: Sister?

515
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: Well, he had cancer and he told me not to

516
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: say anything about it.

517
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, okay, because.

518
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 3: I could have been out there with him all these years,

519
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: you know, while he had cancer and helping him even

520
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: fight the cancer.

521
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 2: You know.

522
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: So you know that's a whole ya know, whole nother

523
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: thing too. But everything does happen for a reason. Because

524
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: my dad in the hospice, I went to go see

525
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: him broken all. I had my probation officer that I

526
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 3: had at the time, I only had like three hundred

527
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: dollars in my pocket.

528
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: And I wasn't supposed to leave.

529
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: Without permission, and I wasn't about to ask for permission

530
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: because my dad's in the hospice.

531
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: I just got my flight.

532
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: And went out to Mississippi and stay with my dad,

533
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, throughout the whole duration until he passed away.

534
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: Which was probably like a week or so. But it

535
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: was the best.

536
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: It was the best time I ever spent with my dad,

537
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: you know, like, and I've had some great moments with him,

538
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: but in passing, like, oh my god, like it was

539
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: we had a ball, you know, so and yeah, my daddy,

540
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: I love you, daddy.

541
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

542
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so now that let's go back to Okay,

00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you're in jail, you're hooking up millionaires with meals. But

544
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: the good thing is I'm guessing at these potlucks, they're

545
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: bringing you some different things to to test your skill set.

546

Speaker 3: you know, we all try to pick each other up.

552
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,600

00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 3: where it was like when I left, they were like, man, like.

Speaker 2: It sat so long you can put it right there

564
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: and start a new one.

565
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: So I googled this. It's supposed to be in water

566
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,639

00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: be warm water?

577
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: Warm water is preferred because it activates a lot faster.

578
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: But as long as it's wet, we should be.

579
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,119

Speaker 1: fan of onions, so I'm so thankful that I cut

598
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: these paper thin because if you're anything like me, you know,

599

Speaker 2: I want to keep talking to you right now. But

605
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: it's a level of concentration.

606
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:35,320

Speaker 3: want to fold it over the corners each corner.

615
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,840

658
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about this, Okay, for all

659
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: y'all listeners, simple ingredients, rice, paper, bell peppers, onions, everything

660
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: sauce is necessary, pasta sardine. I have to address the

661
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: fact that all these textures with the flavor is what

662
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: makes it. I'm not a fan of raw onions, but

663
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: the raw onion crisp really adds. The bell pepper crisp

664
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: adds the soft noodles. The sardines are phenomenal. This is

665
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: one hundred ten out of ten on this show. Okay,

666
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840

Speaker 2: that's the goal right now.

704
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: And it's amazing because that's the sauce I actually made

705
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: on accident. We call it Everything Sauce because I took

706
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: all of my sauces that I had and I poured

707
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: them all together. And one of the key ingredients in

708
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: that Everything sauce is ranch. You did perfect on that

709
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 3: that crunch, that crunch. The mic had to pick that

710
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: up real good.

711
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you, guys, I love them all right.

712
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: Don't be telling all your sauce secrets, but just know

713
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: out there, guys, it is one of a kind, delicious,

714
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: finger licking good. My daughter loves it and she's for it,

715
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: and I love it.

716
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: There you go.

717
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: My pop subs it. My friends love it.

718
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: I can tell you the ingredients, but you'll never be

719
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: able to remake it because there's.

720
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Levels level to the game. Absolutely, But before you get

721
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: into how to, what's in the sauce? Tell me you

722
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: get out of camp, start marching me towards wings and things.

723
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: And so let's let's fast forward to going through a

724
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: couple of businesses that that I ended up starting, and

725
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: each one was very financially satisfying, right. I had a

726
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: T shirt business that I started with my son's mother,

727
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: and when we broke up, the company kind of fell apart.

728
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 3: My other business venture was I got into cannabis. And

729
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: I was totally against cannabis for my whole life until

730
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: I sold a pound to somebody and they came back

731
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: like two days later wanning another pound. I'm like, okay,

732
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 3: that was like such a quick turnaround, and it was legal,

733
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, Like, let me get into the

734
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: cannabis world. So I was in the cannabis world for

735
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: about three years.

736
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: And when the.

737
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 3: Cannabis world kind of went down a little bit profit wise, probably.

738
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: Like yeah, right after COVID, it was high. During Oh,

739
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 2: it was like COVID was the best ever.

740
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: Make it a lot of money.

741
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: I was always into cars, so I had an opportunity

742
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: to purchase a body shop and I did so, and

743
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 3: with that company, it gave me a lot of free time,

744
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: you know, much much like the cannabis world did as

745
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: well too, And I enjoyed my free time that I had.

746
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: Where did you get the money to buy cannabis? So

747
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: the cannabis allowed you to buy a body shop cannabis,

748
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: and the body shop because you weren't actually doing the work,

749
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: you had more time because it was more profitable.

750
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: It was what I say, more profitable, It was kind

751
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 3: of the same. It was the same as with the cannabis.

752
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 3: So it replaced the cannabis, but more time because you know,

753
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: you a car, like I don't have to be in

754
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 3: front of the car every day, you know, and it's

755
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: just being worked on.

756
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: So what else am I going to do? You know?

757
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: So it gave me that free time and I loved

758
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: my freedom that I had.

759
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: So why did you not keep both going at the

760
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: same time?

761
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 3: Because the cannabis, well, the cannabis was down and I

762
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: wasn't into the race of where everybody else trying to

763
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: figure it out? Now, I just find something else to do,

764
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: you know.

765
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: So, so you know, pivoting to be able to master

766
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: the pivot as an entrepreneur, is a huge thing because

767
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: sometimes entrepreneurs they spend too much time on a business

768
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: trying to rework it, reroute it versus just pivoting, especially

769
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: when an industry switching hands. Like if you go from

770
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember when print versus digital, right,

771
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: some people will be like, I'm going to stay with

772
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: me print, and it's like, no, at some point you

773
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: have to recognize that there's a Blockbuster, red Box, Netflix.

774
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: You know, at some point you have to be able

775
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: to pivot fast. So that pivoting right there is just

776
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: a skill by itself.

777
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

778
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: And I think it's more so me keeping my eyes

779
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: open for knowing that this is going to die, so

780
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: what's next, you know, and being that I was comfortable

781
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: with cars already. I was always into cars. It was

782
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 3: a fun thing for me as well too. Now having

783
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: my body shop, I think it was like two years

784
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: two years into it. I've never thought of having a

785
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: restaurant ever, you know, Like the most I've cooked was,

786
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 3: you know, when I was in jail, Thank you, thank you.

787
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 3: And the body shop situation, excuse me. The wings and

788
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: things came about when I was at the beach like

789
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: you one day, just kicking it, you know. And the

790
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: location where we're at now used to be called hot

791
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: Dog Supreme, all right, and it was the only place

792
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: in the area where they had burgers at the time,

793
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: you know. So I walk up to the window and

794
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: nobody's in the front to serve me or anything, you know.

795
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: And then this little white kid comes rolling up on

796
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: a skateboard. Hey, I'll be there to serve you in

797
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: a second, like behind me. He's outside of the establishment.

798
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, Joey, it's all up in there,

799
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: you know.

800
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: So he's up in.

801
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 3: There, and now you know, I got he took my order,

802
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: and I'm just looking in like seeing what's happening up

803
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: in there, you know. And I'm wondering how much is

804
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: he paying for rent here? Because I literally see fifty

805
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: one hundred people just walk by every second, you know.

806
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: It's right there on the boardwalk, you know, and I'm

807
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: the only person in line right here. I'm like, this

808
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: is They looks like they have good food, but why

809
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: aren't people over here in line? Everybody's hungry, you know.

810
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: So I asked him how much rent was, and he

811
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 3: told me that the owner was looking to sell his location,

812
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: and I was like, okay, let me get his information,

813
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: you know.

814
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: So he gave me his information.

815
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: At the time, I was on a vacation with my wife,

816
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 3: and when I got back from the vacation, the guy

817
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: called me, like.

818
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: Business.

819
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: We exchanged information like before. Then I kind of forgot

820
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: about it a little bit, you know. But when he

821
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 3: called me when I got back from vacation, I'm okay,

822
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: this must be a sign. And this was like December

823
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: twenty second, yeah, right, twenty twenty three, I think. And

824
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: I linked up with him at his other location because

825
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: he had like four other locations. It was just that

826
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: Venice location. Yeah, yeah, he had like four other stores,

827
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: four of the restaurants. I met him at one of

828
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 3: his other restaurants and it was booming when I went there.

829
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, all these people like he.

830
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: Was really playing close attention to his other establishments, but

831
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: the Venice one he kind of just wasn't ever there,

832
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: didn't really care too much, you know, because you're at

833
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: the Venice ocase. You got to have a game plan

834
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: for this situation, you know. So the landlord linked up

835
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: with us at his location and he was happy to

836
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 3: get rid of him. Honestly, because he felt like his

837
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 3: location could have done a lot better, you know. And

838
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: I told this guy because he's like, how long have

839
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 3: you been in the restaurant business?

840
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: So I'm like never, Oh my god.

841
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: I'm like, but look, I'll tell you this what I'm

842
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: serious about doing something like.

843
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: Like you said, like you got to know the pivot.

844
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: You know.

845
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: I knew I could make food that people would like

846
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: to eat, you know. Me and my lady, like we

847
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: were like people like Wang's, you know, so wings, Wangs

848
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 3: and other things.

849
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: So we were like had the name of it, WANs

850
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: and things. And I told the guy, I'm just.

851
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: Give me the opportunity, like because I'm ready to go

852
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: in because I want to feed all of these people

853
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: that are walking down the sport walk, you know. Come

854
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 3: to find out, we ended up being the first black

855
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: restaurant on the whole strip ever on Venice Beach. Didn't

856
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: even know that I figured there was.

857
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: That was one of the things that they had said

858
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: to me when I first tried it was like or

859
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: I think maybe I asked, is it black owned?

860
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we were the first ones first restaurant.

861
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: In all of Venice, in all of.

862
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: Venice and we brought a flavor that was just different.

863
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm from the South, so I'm used

864
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 3: to seasonings. And you know, when you go on the boardwalk,

865
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: you just kind of get like your generics.

866
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, your hot dog.

867
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're at the beach, so you just

868
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 3: get those beach like little little things, you know. But

869
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: we kind of stand out because of our food quality,

870
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 3: the look of our food, and even like our staff.

871
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: You know, our staff has.

872
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 3: Like a Southern charm to us all, you know, to

873
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: where we greet you and it's like, hey, why your food.

874
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: Is being made? Like we're gonna you're gonna.

875
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: Listen to this music that we had playing outside and

876
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a vibe for you.

877
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: Now, you guys, isn't there a TV out?

878
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

879
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 3: No, No, we have the TV out there when we

880
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 3: do like certain events or games or that type of

881
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: thing like that, you know, because we we had to

882
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 3: do something that was going to captivate that audience that's

883
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 3: walking down that boardwalk.

884
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: You know.

885
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: That's why we do the samples.

886
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: It's brilliant because honestly, without the samples, I don't know

887
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: if the business would have.

888
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 3: It wouldn't let me tell you. Our first month, We're

889
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: sitting with our full menu out there ready to cook,

890
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: and I'm just watching people just walk by, you know,

891
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: and I was like, no, ain't no way, they're about

892
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 3: to walk by and I try this good ass food

893
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: that we have up in here. So I made a

894
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: sample tray and walked out there, and then before I

895
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: knew it, like probably every other person that I let

896
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 3: try the sample, they were walking to our window. And

897
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: so since then, since month one, that's been a standard

898
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: for our company to continuously bring samples out there. Most

899
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: people think about their loss that they would make by

900
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: giving away so much food, you know.

901
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, and he'd be putting shrimps out.

902
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: There, you know, a little little piece, maybe.

903
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: Putting the whole pieces. But I really like the guy

904
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: that hands out the samples because I feel like just

905
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: having that even that personality of like talking to the people,

906
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: making jokes whatever.

907
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he does a great job.

908
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta have that, you know, because most people

909
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: are scared to talk to other people, you know, But

910
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: if you have the personality and the food should one

911
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 3: hundred percent speak for yourself. And I tell people that myself.

912
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm like I don't want to sell myself, Like I'll

913
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: be out I'll be out there having them, they be

914
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: having a good time, we'd be laughing, and so I'm like, look,

915
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm not here to sell you. Like the food that

916
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 3: you just tasted, Like, does it make you want to

917
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 3: buy it? You know, because if I try something and

918
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: I don't like it, I'm not about.

919
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: To Well, no, the nice day, yes, you know what

920
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

921
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: So, and I like that. It's like you combine like

922
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: sweet and salty. So it's really hard to pass up

923
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: because you know, on any given day you're going for

924
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: a vibe. Ya was the savory versus.

925
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, you get all the options there, you know,

926
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: and we're really happy and honor to be there at

927
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 3: that location. And we just got a food trailer as

928
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: well too, so we're able to pull up here. You

929
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying to Eaven while broke. You know

930
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, We could feed the whole crew.

931
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: You know, I was I was.

932
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: Going to ask them guys to bring in some wings

933
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: and things, but I was like, don't be that person,

934
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: don't be that verse, and you know, you got to

935
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: save another episode after this.

936
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: I would have been an honor too, but you know

937
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 2: it's a cross.

938
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: No, I'm going to come out there. I'm gonna do

939
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: my little bike. You already know my little bike, my

940
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: little four year old. That's what we do.

941
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: Bring her through, you know.

942
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: And I like that. It feels like a family business

943
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: because sometimes you see your kids there and I like that.

944
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: I would.

945
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: I think it's very good for kids to be exposed

946
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: to parents working and you know that whole thing. And

947
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: I see them sometimes like actually do jobs in there.

948
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 2: Yes.

949
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, my daughter's journey, she's three

950
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 3: years old. Every time I leave out the house, can

951
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: I come to work with you, dad, I'm like, no,

952
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: not today, Not because I knew I needed I needed

953
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: her to be at an age where you know, she

954
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 3: could at least greet the people like and this. She

955
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 3: knows that's her job. And it's funny. This past Saturday,

956
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: she asked me, and she asked me. The way how

957
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: she asked me was so clear. She was like, can

958
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: I come to work.

959
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: With you today? I'm like, shit, I think she's DD.

960
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 3: So she came and I told her her only job

961
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 3: is when customers come up, is to say welcome to

962
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: ways and things, with a smile, and she was practicing

963
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 3: at the house before she left.

964
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: She's like, welcome to ways and things.

965
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 3: I would have smiled when we got there her first

966
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: like five minutes, she was a little shy. But the

967
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 3: second she did say it, and she saw the reaction

968
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: from the customer, Oh my god. Oh I could get

969
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: her to stop. She was saying welcome to ways and

970
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 3: things for people that wasn't even walking by or.

971
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: Established welcome to ways and things.

972
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, you know, but she she's understanding, Like

973
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 3: my son artists, he's just turned seven. Like if you

974
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 3: come to the window with him, he's literally going to

975
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 3: take your whole order. A seven year old, like you know,

976
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: cash a card, you know, like and we got this,

977
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 3: you want to try this?

978
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, yes, that's beautiful. You know.

979
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 3: I have a feeling, like, you know, when when I'm

980
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: no longer here, that I've left a imprint on them

981
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: where it's like they like they know they want to

982
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 3: be like you ask him, he's the boss, you know.

983
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 3: I tell him he's the boss, you know, And he

984
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: tells people that, hey, if you mess up, you're gonna

985
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: get canned. Just clowning around. But you know, it's our

986
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 3: candor that we have in there.

987
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: You know, what are some of the I'd say lessons learned.

988
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: Tough lessons learned in doing wings and things.

989
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 2: Oh so.

990
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: Owning a restaurant, by the way, that's like the one

991
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: of the toughest.

992
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I told you I like my freedom. Yeah,

993
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: like my other jobs like gave me a lot of freedom.

994
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 3: Having a restaurant is people have to eat every single day,

995
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 3: you know, not everybody has to get their car worked

996
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 3: on every single day. So it's it's the hardest job

997
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 3: that I've ever had, but it's the most rewarding job

998
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 3: that I've ever had. Like there's nothing more like seeing

999
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: people eat my food for the first time and say, shit,

1000
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 3: like this is the best stuff I've ever had. You know,

1001
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: at first I thought they was just like lying to me,

1002
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 3: but there was a consistence, Like with people trying our shrimp,

1003
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 3: trying out everything sauce on our wings, They're like, I've

1004
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 3: never tasting anything like this before. To be able to

1005
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: feed people is a great feeling. Every third Saturday of

1006
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: the month, we work with the nonprofit called the Trusted

1007
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 3: Angels and they come out and we feed anywhere between

1008
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 3: fifty to one hundred homeless. So they come hand out

1009
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: our wings and things, the cards, and we have a

1010
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 3: certain time where everybody comes three four o'clock, whatever time

1011
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 3: we decide, and they line up and we hand out

1012
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 3: the meals to them, and it's just such a great

1013
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 3: it's such a great feeling. And once again, like people like,

1014
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 3: how can you afford to feed these because I'm not

1015
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: working with anybody that's given me assistance, you know, I

1016
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 3: know that if in life, and this is a message

1017
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 3: for everybody, you know, if you're doing something that you

1018
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 3: truly enjoy doing from your heart, like God makes the

1019
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 3: way for you, you know, like he put me in

1020
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 3: the position or you know, if I buy two extra

1021
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: boxes of chicken for this Saturday and it's going to

1022
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 3: feed these fifty people, I don't have to think about

1023
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: the money that I have to spend for that because

1024
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 3: it's already there, you know. So God makes the way,

1025
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, and hopefully we could continue.

1026
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: That's a big deal too. And I think also if

1027
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: you're in the position of being like I like to say,

1028
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: these financial situations hopefully are temporary. But I think it's

1029
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: nice that they get a really nice meal, like to

1030
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: be able to eat WANs and.

1031
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: Things is yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, and it's great.

1032
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 3: It's great being able to serve them something instead of hey,

1033
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 3: take these noodles.

1034
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, So to give them something.

1035
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Where it's like tastes good and they.

00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 3: like cool, you know so, but yeah, it's definitely, like

1039
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 3: I said, the most rewarding business that I've had, Like

1040
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: I still have my body shop. Yeah, but I'm never there,

1041
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 3: you know, Like I'm never because I don't want to

1042
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 3: be there.

1043
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: Yes, Like do you think it's good as an entrepreneur

1044
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: to have dual incomes.

1045
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: Multiple yes, Like you use use your talents, you know,

1046
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 3: Like people have so many talents that they haven't even

1047
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: tapped into themselves yet with because they're so comfortable with,

1048
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 3: you know, just staying in this one position or working

1049
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 3: this nine to five. You know, it's like you have

1050
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: to kind of take that leap, and I have. I

1051
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 3: always say like if your heart is into it and

1052
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,240

1055
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 3: we all have it's like our life, like there's different treasures,

1056
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: you know, and it's up to us to recognize that, Hey,

1057
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: that could be a treasure, but not only that when

1058
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 3: you recognize it, like turn the key for it to

1059
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 3: open it up. A lot of us may recognize it

1060
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 3: and we just keep on going.

1061
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: You know.

1062
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 3: I can think of opportunities that I had even when

1063
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: I was modeling, where I didn't really turn that key,

1064
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 3: you know, And if I would have turned that key

1065
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 3: because I went to that one audition that I thought

1066
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: was stupid, but I should have went to it like

1067
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: I would have been on that show, you know, I

1068
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 3: didn't turn that key for that. I'm not at no

1069
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 3: position in my life to where I'm I'm turning every key,

1070
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 3: turn the key. I'm turning every key, and it's just

1071
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 3: not stopping at wings and things like. There's so much

1072
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 3: more to my life, you know, and I'm gonna keep

1073
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 3: turning the keys.

1074
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: Well, I am thankful that you turned the keys. I'm

1075
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: thankful for you for what you provide for our community.

1076
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: Very thankful that you're the first black business on Venice.

1077
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: It gives it's it's refreshing to see someone ring the bell.

1078
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: I think when you ring the bell indirectly, you inspire others.

1079
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: There's two more now, Marathon and Earl's on Crenshaw. Oh yeah,

1080
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: now too now.

1081
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: But it takes that one, right, it takes that one,

1082
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: and you were the one, and you had to overcome

1083
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: all this adversity. And I can't imagine it's easy on

1084
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: a relationship being in business with your wife or your family,

1085
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, and dealing with a restaurant that demands so

1086
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: many hours, because I would imagine there's prep time, and

1087
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: then I would also imagine that there was a little

1088
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: bit of a learning curve when it comes to the

1089
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: whole hr regulations and cash flow and going and.

1090
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: With employees well too.

1091
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 3: You know that that's another thing too, because you know,

1092
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: it's not just my life that I'm taking care of,

1093
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,959
Speaker 3: you know, I have to make sure that we stay

1094
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: in business for the people that have dedicated their aspects

1095
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 3: of their lives to us, and that's our employees that

1096
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: you know are there every day and making sure that

1097
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 3: everything is ran correctly and the food is cooked properly how.

1098
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: It needs to be.

1099
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 3: And you know, it's definitely it's a challenge for sure,

1100
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: but it's a rewarding challenge because we just all know,

1101
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: we all have the same goal.

1102
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, And when it comes to hiring employees.

1103
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: When it comes to hiring employees, how do you find

1104
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: an employee that has integrity? Because if you're away from

1105
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: the business, you need an employee that has one hundred

1106
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: percent integrity, right, So how do you fish out an

1107
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: employee that has integrity from an employee that doesn't.

1108
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: Well, when I first started, I was I kind of

1109
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 3: hired people who I felt with the deserved opportunity. You know.

1110
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 3: I was always at Venice Beach, you know, so I

1111
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 3: knew a lot of people there already.

1112
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, why were you always at Vanish.

1113
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's Venice Beach, you know, I played basketball.

1114
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 3: It was always a place where I like to frequent.

1115
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: I like Venice. Manhattan would be first, though if I

1116
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: had a lot of money. Man Now, Manhattan's pretty nice,

1117
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: but you still, but I always go to Venice though.

1118
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: I go to Manhattan like once a year.

1119
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: Okay, But yeah, you know Venice. You get the whole

1120
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 2: culture there.

1121
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel like you're in kind of New York.

1122
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm from New York. So it kind of has that

1123
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: urban like you don't know what you're going to see.

1124

Speaker 2: True that, true that.

1125
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,640
