I worked at V one on three. I 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.359 worked at Streets Now four or five. I currently work 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.600 at a record label Warner Records. I'm the national director 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.679 of Lifestyle and Mixed Show Promotion. So my job is 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.120 basically to make sure DJs have the music that the 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:39.160 labels are promoting. I'm still hosting parties, I'm still DJM parties, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.760 and I'm still doing the podcast. And on the podcast, 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.919 we just get on here and talk a lot of smack. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.200 That's basically what I do to the podcast. 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:52.480 Yeah, I've been in radio for over a decade and 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.239 I've always been in the background, though I've been on 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.960 the boards. I do audio engineering and production is my background. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.680 And so when you hear even to this day, I've 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.079 started at Vvan No. Three and and I now work 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.560 at Streets ninety four or five. And when you hear 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.959 the commercials or anything of that nature, that's me the 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.480 station imaging, you know, going between songs. I do that. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.080 I put all that on and I bring a lot 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.520 of that to the podcast. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.799 Now, when I was tapped to do this, you know, 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.400 I was tapped to produce, but you know, with so 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.560 many things going on, I stepped up hosting and I 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.920 kind of do anything that we need, you know, filming. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.679 I'm filming us right now. I you know, getting the 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.000 sound quality correct. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.600 And when it comes to hosting, my style is to 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.880 humanize whoever we have coming on our platform. We get 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.880 a lot of reality stars, you know, who may be 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.560 judged a lot, you know for whatever you guys see 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:53.120 on TV. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.160 I come in and I just try to get to know. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.760 Who that person really is behind all of that stuff 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.160 that you know, people see on. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.000 A regular basis. So that's kind of my host of style. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.880 Well, before you go, bet she so if you've seen 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.320 any of our clips, the little Boozy clips, the two 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.560 cy clips saying he likes regular girls and he doesn't 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.520 like if you've seen any of our clips go viral, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.960 she's the person who produces clips. She's the one that 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.400 puts the little movie clips in it and it just 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.039 literally goes viral. So it's all her putting that shit. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.480 Oh can we curse? No? Putting that stuff. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.680 Together just creative. I just like to create. So yeah, 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.240 she's dope, I pretty much. I started doing radio in 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.920 Arkansas and then I eventually moved to Atlanta, and I 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.600 was on the radio in Atlanta for about maybe like 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:48.080 six years, and then I decided that the world is changing, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.800 podcast is becoming, you know, such a powerful thing in 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.880 the world. And you know, I believe in myself and 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.400 I believe in if you got a dream, you shouldn't 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.719 wait for somebody to give you an opportunit. You should 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.480 create your own opportunity. And I remember I was on 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.320 the radio station part time and I was like, man, 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.120 they not doing anything with me, you know what I mean, 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.960 Like like I feel like, you know, I'm a superstar, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.040 and I feel like I can hold my own weight. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.200 And you know, a lot of times you see a 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.080 lot of people are getting put in positions and you 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.400 just sitting back, you just waiting, and you just waiting 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.120 for your opportunity, and really you just wasting your time. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.120 You know, because we live in a day and age 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.280 where we have the internet, we got these podcasts. You know, 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.320 people have a voice. You don't have to wait on 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.960 these big companies that make you sit and wait for 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.680 years and too. You know, somebody else just decide they 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.599 want to quit their job or they want to get fired, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.320 and then they're gonna say, hey, you know, we'll give 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.720 you an opportunity. Now. I know you've been staying on 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.440 the sideline for ten years, but you know, now you 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.840 have an opportunity. But you know, that's why I really appreciate, 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.680 you know, Ferrari and the whole ball Alert team, because 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.520 Ferrari said, man, I think you would be a good 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.040 fit to do this, you know. And I remember doing 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.000 the show and I was like, man, this feels good. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.720 It feels more modern, it feels more you know, like 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:14.080 evolution versus me just doing radio. And I remember I said, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.240 you know, I just remember that day where I was 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.160 just like I was just fed up. I was like, man, 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.000 I'm not gonna sit on the sidelines. I'm watching people 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.120 on the internet and all these people are like growing 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.840 their followers, growing their fan base, and I'm just on 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.200 the radio station trying to figure out and wait on 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.000 my opportunity until I get a full time job. And 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.040 I was like, yeah, you know what, I don't want 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.600 to do this anymore. I think I'm gonna take my 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.480 chances and roll the dice on myself and get these 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.680 opportunities to interview. Because when I was on the radio, 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.320 I I never got the opportunities to interview anybody. I 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.240 just kind of felt somebody that was just treated like, 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.920 you know, you ain't got the talent to do this. 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.480 So mecoming a ball alert. You know a lot of 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.920 the viral clips that we did, you know, with interviewing 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.120 Boo see and so many other people that. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.000 When I say, uh, one of his most viral clips 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.720 was the DeAndre Sanders interview. I don't know if y'all 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.320 saw that. That went on every college television network when 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.760 she said it was killings on the Jackson State campus. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.400 I don't know if y'all saw that clip. It was 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.880 on TMZ. BT asked her that question. I was actually 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.240 off that day. So you went viral quite a bit. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.400 We went on t Z four times this year. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.280 So dang Jock Queeze as well. Oh yeah, well TMZ 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.600 for Jock Queeze. When you said that about lm. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.600 A yeah, question, No, that was that was that was 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:38.080 your question? 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:38.840 That's b T Yeah. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.800 Bo asked the questions. I don't I don't know how 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.080 you muster it up. But when we have the guests, 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.120 BT asked the question. I remember he asked for that 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.679 two times about the gunner. He asked babyface Ray about gunner, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.920 like if it's a tough question or Errari. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.600 Asked tough questions too, because he went, oh when you 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.440 was present, only. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.320 Because I know Loto I know Flage, right, so I 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.840 know these people, right. So if I know you and 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.880 I know you, I'm and y'all break up. I'm gonna 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.840 ask you what happened to him? Because that's my friend 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.320 and you're my friend. That's what happened on the interview? 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.480 Why didn't Lotto put you in the video? And I 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.040 saw a lot of a couple of weeks later, she 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.960 was like, Ferrari, why you did all that? I was like, yo, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.240 I just asked her a question. Do you guys not 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.640 want me to ask the question? 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.680 We do want you to ask the questions, and you 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.800 know what I have to do?

They 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.960 was like, Ferrari, you being messy. But in reality, I 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.439 literally just said, why were you not in the video? 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.400 That's your home dog, that's your home team, but your homegirl, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.719 Angel Reese was in the video and she don't even 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.679 know her like that, that's a real question, like why 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.520 are you not in the video? 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.800 There's nothing wrong with ask a question. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.280 But sometimes in the comments, y'all, boy, when you work 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.520 for a big blog, which is ball Alert, because you 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.400 got remember we're separated we're not ball Alert, We're the 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.679 ball Alert podcast.

And you know, sometimes you 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.520 remember we're ball Alert, so it's a blog and it's 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.439 news talking gossip. Unfortunately, the news doesn't all the way 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.680 go as high as you wanted to go. The gossip 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:40.600 goes through the roof. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.800 So yeah, that's why I'm tired of people talking about 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.520 like you know, when I do read the comments, which 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.800 most of the time I don't read, people always sending 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.679 the comments like you know why you know why these 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.640 type of people are coming on the show and stuff 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.000 like that, And I say, because y'all watching, because you're watching, 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.360 Because if you're not watching, then these people would have 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.920 the opportunity to get these platforms like coming on the 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.719 ball Alert showing other platforms to even do stuff like that, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.839 in my opinion, because I always look at a lot 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.599 of the interviews that we think, oh my god, we 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.120 got this big artist is gonna come on the show 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.280 and it's you know this, this interview is gonna go crazy, 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:22.480 and then you. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.079 Know, it gets twenty thousand views. You'd be like, wait, 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:25.640 what happened? 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.319 Yeah, and then you know he wants to see that. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.480 But then Nicky Natural comes on and it goes three 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.400 hundred thousand views. Wow, she ain't really ain't even say 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.160 nothing the whole interview because. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.800 What had a great story. We did highlight her story, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.240 but people didn't want to see that. They wanted to 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.800 talk about why we wouldn't want to touch her. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.880 Yeah, which is which is weird, especially in this council culture, 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.480 Like you you want us to touch a woman? 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.160 Gott bempressed on camera. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.360 We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.640 You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.000 Let's keep it pushing. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.520 We're gonna talk about teamwork in podcasting, the chemistry amongst us. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.679 I feel like like we said, we've been doing it 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.040 for a long time, but you know, I think we 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.880 forged friendships outside and it comes off great on camera. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.559 Yeah, you gotta be really organized if you have a 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.560 big podcast and it's doing numbers or whatever you guys 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.679 do out there. If you're trying to do a podcast. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.280 We got a group. We got two separate group chats. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.240 The schedule, we got a schedule talent. We gotta show 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.320 up on times, actually not even on time. You gotta 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.000 get there at least an hour early. You got set up. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.720 You know, it's on cameras, so we got four cameras. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.160 We got four cameras, the microphones. I have to I 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.520 have to lie to the guests to get them to 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.360 show up on time. So I usually tell the guests 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.440 that's arriving. I tell them the wrong time. So whatever 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.080 time that they think that they're coming, they always show 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.760 up an hour later, because you know, that's just how 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.559 certain people are, especially when you're getting it's the entertainment industry, folks. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.040 You got to give them the wrong time. So I'm 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.599 usually an hour and a half hour and then some 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.560 of them will come on time and then we're still 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.240 setting up, which is great. But for the most part, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.640 everyone shows up late. So that's like a little gem 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.280 that I'll give you. Whenever you're booking talent, I do 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.480 an hour out because they will be late. They will 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.440 be We're in Atlanta, right in the middle of the city. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.320 It's always traffic in the middle of the afternoon. Our 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.400 shows around them, so it's always going to be traffic. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.120 So I always do an hour out and then when 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.079 they show up an hour like, oh, I'm so sorry, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.000 I'm so sorry. Yeah, and I just look at them like, yeah, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:36.760 you showed up on time. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.120 I lie. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:38.040 Come on. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.520 Keep in mind the big artists show up on time. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.200 That's crazy too, right, The big artist. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.760 Jeezy came on time, Boozy was early, Country Wayne was 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.640 an hour early. And then you know these new guys, 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.319 they're a whole hour late. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:54.719 They always late. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.360 But you know, setting up the show and just us, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.160 we just have to make sure we stick together and 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.199 overly communicate because we could be in an interview and 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.280 you know, it's three of us. We got to let 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.120 each other talk. We can't over talk each other. It's 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.240 a whole little dynamic that we got to create amongst 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:12.560 each other. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.280 Yeah, for sure, it's definitely a team effort. Like Rory says, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.480 he books the guest. You know, a lot of people 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.600 think they can come to me. They can come to 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.720 me and if they want to be on the show. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.560 But I will kindly put them off on Rari because, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.320 like I said, I'm a creative so I have to 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.000 you know, shoot the show. I'm setting up, you know, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.080 early I'm there setting up. I'm thinking about content. You know, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.320 the way the run of the show I'm creating, I'm 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.200 writing it. I am getting these guys together, and you know, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:44.560 this is what we're gonna do today. This is what 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.960 we're gonna do today. And even when we're in the interview, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.800 you know, we got to keep eye contact to know 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:50.600 when to move on. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:51.960 Okay, next story. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.640 You know, we don't have a lot of time to 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.840 spend spend on things, so it's a big team effort. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.040 Before you go, bet, I will say real quick to remember, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.480 ours is a news cycle, so our content has to 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.720 come out quick. So if we do an episode on Tuesday, 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.640 we got to drop Wednesday because if we wait till Friday, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.320 that news cycle had then came out and it's old. 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.280 Y'all ain't even gonna or watch that. So our content 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.560 comes out ass and that is. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.000 Very hard to do, especially when you're the only one 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.640 doing it and I don't have a team yet. So 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.400 a lot of times people see Baller Alert and they're like, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:27.320 oh man, y'all got this. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:28.760 Y'all got that. It's just us. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.120 So as soon as we're done, I'm going and I 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.920 am on my computer and I am you know, going 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.840 through the content, sending it to Rory for posting, and 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.840 I'm creating the next thing, you know, like this this 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.560 is going to be out tonight or something, you know, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.760 because it's like we got to get it quick because 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.640 it's such people forget so fast, you know, and then 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.440 your stuff. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:53.240 Is old really quick. 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.600 One of the big things for us, you know we're 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.920 working together as a team, is also just remembering people 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.080 strong points. You know, when we do these interviews, I 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.240 always think about what's my strong point? 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.160 And to him too, he never shows up. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.480 I was going to say that, but I was like, wait, wait, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.760 you said what I lie to you? Okay, So some 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.760 time we was here, and when he was here, I 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:18.560 was getting. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.840 Some breakfast, okay, tee. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.960 It was just like you know, it was it was 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.440 bagels and fruit and stuff. Some healthy stuff, So go ahead, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.760 I take my time. Anyways, I know everybody's strong suit, 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.000 so I know when we're doing these interviews, I know 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.320 what Octavia strong suit is and doing the interview, I 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.960 know Ferrari and I know mine. So a lot of times, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.880 you know, people will say like, like the good things 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.720 that they would always say is like, man, you guys 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.480 did such a great interview, because most people cut off 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.240 the artists or people are like, you know, somebody's talking 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.240 about something. Then you you know, y'all see an interview. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.640 I was like, damn, let the let the person talk. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.120 I want to see like damn, you know. So that's 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.920 one of the main things that we always keep conscious about, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.880 is like we gotta let the talent talk because y'all 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.879 watching it because of your favorite talent, no matter. I mean, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.480 I know we pretty cool too, but the majority of 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.159 the time, y'all watching it because of the talent that 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.520 y'all see on there. So we just always, you know, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.359 try to communicate and let the talent talk, because I 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.480 think that's really important because some of the podcasts that 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.760 I watch, I'd be like, man, shed up, man, I 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.400 came here to watch Nicki Minaj talk or whoever talk 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:27.879 man like. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.720 Man, I would say, I like for us, we always 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.800 try to strive to when you guys, you know, Cardi 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.119 b Is gonna do ten interviews, right, but when you 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:39.440 watch the one with us, I believe that ours will 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.520 be the best version of it should be the most 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:46.119 comfortable there because we ask the questions. It's comfortable, it's open, 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.960 and we allow them to talk and be themselves facts. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.959 And you know, sometimes we don't always get it right. 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.600 Sometimes RARII myself or BT will you know, overtalk or something. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.000 And it's nothing for me to pull one of these 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.400 guys aside and say, hey, that was a little much. 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.360 You know, let's let's try this better next time. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:04.280 You'll do a mid interview. 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.560 She'll be like, right, no, they're very rich. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.080 Flynn production mode. So I'm like cut instead of me. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.879 I don't want to interrupt the flow of the energy 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.240 that's already going on in the interview, So I kind 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.119 of look like, check your phone. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.800 You'll definitely get a text in men interview and the 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.000 interview like hey, rap this talking way too long. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.679 The person is very chatty. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.080 Okay, we have to cut them off because sometimes we'll 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.400 get people who just tangents, and I'm. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.840 Like, law, yeah, and I'm glad that you mentioned that too, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.440 because a lot of times it's like when when you're 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.440 when you're interviewing people, you're kind of writing a book. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.320 So it's like, if people venture off too much on 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.000 what people want to listen to us as talent, we 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.359
