Speaker 1: You body get your show, ladies, and tonight we're gonna
Speaker 1: have the women a while and casts all the cars. Y'all,
Speaker 1: we are back. It is the second part of this
Speaker 1: bomb ass interview with our producer. Now Evans, y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: So y'all know we only do audio, so I had
Speaker 1: to turn off my air condition and I am hot
Speaker 1: as hell, but I am here with my girl, Justina Valentine, Justina,
Speaker 1: I'm so hot. We gotta get into this interview so
Speaker 1: I can turn my airback. Well, girl, it's getting hot
Speaker 1: in here. It's get getting the steam here because we
Speaker 1: got now and you got to high ropot system out.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into this now. We are back
Speaker 1: to you. We are so excited to talk more. And
Speaker 1: what now Evans, y'all, yes, I mean just hearing all
Speaker 1: these stories from now, hearing about how he started. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a really cool thing because you know now seeing
Speaker 1: us from little seeds and you know he raised us
Speaker 1: into what we are today. So it's cool to hear
Speaker 1: how he got started, how he met Nick, and just
Speaker 1: how he balances his whole life between being a producer,
Speaker 1: a family man and and all that and just spotting talent,
Speaker 1: because I feel like Nile has seen every single person
Speaker 1: that's been on the whole the beginning. Yeah, being able
Speaker 1: to spot talent, you know, it's it's that's his one
Speaker 1: of his greatest talents. I think it's being able to
Speaker 1: spot talent who hasn't and who doesn't exactly. So now
Speaker 1: that now's back in the building, be I think we
Speaker 1: we just got to really ask him everything we want
Speaker 1: to get too, because I know last week we didn't
Speaker 1: quite have enough time. But this week we gotta put him,
Speaker 1: we gotta put him in the hot seat. Leta ask
Speaker 1: him some tough questions. So let's get down and dirty.
Speaker 1: So now on a personal tip, um, just being a
Speaker 1: father and a husband influence how your work and you know,
Speaker 1: professional relationships. Just being able to balance both worlds because
Speaker 1: you're a great father, great husband and a great coach.
Speaker 1: So like, how do you balance it all? I think
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we we only do whiling out people.
Speaker 1: You know, people think that we're spending the whole year
Speaker 1: door whiling out like we're keeping all the time. Because
Speaker 1: we have so many episodes. They don't know we do
Speaker 1: ten in a day. They don't know. I'm just kidding,
Speaker 1: so they don't understand. Like I'm on this show for
Speaker 1: maybe a month, you know, so I have time to
Speaker 1: to to spend all my family and I have time
Speaker 1: to spend with my girls, my son, my wife and
Speaker 1: you know your family is so beautiful by the way, Yes,
Speaker 1: have not at your girls. Yeah, yeah on Instagram. Your wife. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And your wife is the best man so sweet, she's
Speaker 1: so sweet, She's fun. I love her. I lover her.
Speaker 1: I got her from Costco a few years ago. And
Speaker 1: best purchase I've ever made. You have to doing what
Speaker 1: you do, Like your wife is so down for you
Speaker 1: and what you do. And you can just tell you
Speaker 1: gotta have a rider with you. And you know, being
Speaker 1: a being a dad has really being a dad honestly,
Speaker 1: being a dad before being a husband, um was probably
Speaker 1: better for me because what I learned from what I
Speaker 1: learned how to life is like I had to learn
Speaker 1: how to raise this the son, and I had to
Speaker 1: learn who I needed to be for him, and some
Speaker 1: of those things are the same things that you have
Speaker 1: to be for your your wife, and you have to
Speaker 1: be a father not for her, but not just to her.
Speaker 1: But you know, in a sense you have to. Like
Speaker 1: when a father gives a gives his daughter away, he's
Speaker 1: giving him away to another father. And if you don't
Speaker 1: know how to be a father, it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: you know, to be a man. And I had to
Speaker 1: learn how to be a man for myself. I think
Speaker 1: it was better. It was a better situation for me
Speaker 1: to understand, like, Okay, I have to lead the same
Speaker 1: way I lead with my son as I do with
Speaker 1: you with my wife, and so, uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think that it was it was a little non traditional,
Speaker 1: but I think that you know, that's that was what
Speaker 1: it took. And you know, balancing balancing your career and
Speaker 1: and being a dad is tough. You know, you might
Speaker 1: miss a few games sometimes and there are things that
Speaker 1: you know, but you try to make up for it
Speaker 1: by going, hey, look we're gonna be able to go
Speaker 1: on this vacation. Yeah, yeah, I do take some nice vacase.
Speaker 1: I see all the little picks and oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: get out there and it now Instagram and he gonna
Speaker 1: have a cigar in his hand and he's gonna grow
Speaker 1: show as on his story like this for me, them them,
Speaker 1: them little subliminals, I'll be like, damn, he making me
Speaker 1: think today. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get everybody to think. And when I learned something,
Speaker 1: I want everyone else to learn it too. So I'm
Speaker 1: always trying to push and motivate people to be better
Speaker 1: because I want somebody to push and motivate me to
Speaker 1: be better. When I read stuff and I see things,
Speaker 1: I go, man, this is this is what I need
Speaker 1: to be doing. I need to I need I need
Speaker 1: to hear this. You're never going to stop learning. I'm
Speaker 1: every season I probably read a new book about coaching
Speaker 1: or something motivational so that I can bring for the
Speaker 1: next season, because I can't expect you guys to get
Speaker 1: better if I'm not getting better. If you're so you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta do the work too. And I really I
Speaker 1: take it seriously because it's it's this is a baby
Speaker 1: and a brand that Nick Burr and I helped deliver,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're really you know, it's a precious thing.
Speaker 1: It's a thing that you're you know, it's it's a child,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and you don't want people
Speaker 1: to damage it. You want you want the best for it,
Speaker 1: and you don't want you know, you definitely want nobody
Speaker 1: to suck it up. So if anybody's gonna sucking up,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Nick, you know what I mean. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to suck it up, that's fine,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's your kid, bro. You know,
Speaker 1: we all just have to deal with it. But I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not not on my watch. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna let nobody else suck it up for it. So
Speaker 1: you know that's that's part of what I try to manage.
Speaker 1: And you know, we just try to build this brand
Speaker 1: to be you know, my my roommate made the logo,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like that dial and now
Speaker 1: he's like he is he still getting paid for that
Speaker 1: when he doesn't get paid, he like did like you know,
Speaker 1: from that, he did a lot of work, like he
Speaker 1: did some like NAS album cover stuff. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: live far from me. He's yeah good, He's definitely good,
Speaker 1: you know. So you know it's like when you watch
Speaker 1: something grow up it's it's it's a dope thing. And
Speaker 1: then when you know, for me to watch you guys
Speaker 1: grow up, it's even doper because it's like I'm watching
Speaker 1: my kids. Just I remember, yeah, I remember geting you both.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's like it's like my
Speaker 1: adopted you know what I mean. It's like, and now
Speaker 1: I see you guys all growing up and get money
Speaker 1: and doing your thing, and it's just, you know, I
Speaker 1: just go, it's just you don't understand it. It almost
Speaker 1: bring me to tears when I see some of you
Speaker 1: guys online or on a TV show, because I go,
Speaker 1: I go, I remember seeing you when you didn't have
Speaker 1: that confidence. Remember you were just starting, and now now
Speaker 1: you're getting money, and I just go, I love to
Speaker 1: see it because it's just it's watching your kids grow up,
Speaker 1: you know, you remembering than discussing, you know. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that brings me to my next question, who's your favorite?
Speaker 1: Who's my favorite? Oh? Yeah, they want your top five?
Speaker 1: Remember stop five? But you know, of all time, so
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta be in there time all time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do all you could do all time. And then currently, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do of all time and then currently and
Speaker 1: this is this is bad um because I shouldn't choose
Speaker 1: like this. Okay, so all time are you in the
Speaker 1: hot seat? Now I'm in the hot seat. I'm in
Speaker 1: the hot seat. Open your favorite black girl with fingers
Speaker 1: with the ship of all time. I'm gonna probably go
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Cat Williams, I'm gonna go Mikey day
Speaker 1: Taren kill him. I'm gonna go untraditional Gene Hang. If
Speaker 1: you ever saw the first, very first pilot episode Gene
Speaker 1: Hong was the he had a moment against spanking where
Speaker 1: he says, yeah, I'm Asian, like it's a disease, but
Speaker 1: I got ten times you scoring the s A T
Speaker 1: S and he murdered the wild style. We went out
Speaker 1: on that and I felt like that sold the show.
Speaker 1: You were like that's what got us the season or
Speaker 1: that was it. And I don't even think Jean did
Speaker 1: another season after that because I'm trying to is yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably you'd have to go into the um um
Speaker 1: naima Funk probably one of the most brilliant um improv
Speaker 1: actors that I've ever witnessed, and that was somebody that
Speaker 1: Nick was like, she's got it, and I was like, Nah,
Speaker 1: she don't have it so magical on this show. You
Speaker 1: know in the first few seasons that we had her
Speaker 1: that you know, I will always say, she's definitely in
Speaker 1: my in my top. How can we watch these seasons
Speaker 1: because some people you're naming, I don't even know. I
Speaker 1: would just learned my history. This is my history now,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't think I'm going to find something
Speaker 1: for you, but I need to put him on. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you need to put on a drop box for all
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna put I'm gonna put the pilot you
Speaker 1: You probably never seen the original pilot now where Kevin
Speaker 1: Hart was a cast member. Wow, people have never seen
Speaker 1: that original pilot where Kevin is a cast member. He's
Speaker 1: just a little kid. Yeah, I've seen. Yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: the episode where he stands up and he wrote everybody.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't pilot. I think that was just an episode.
Speaker 1: I was like, are he was already big? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he did. He did the original pilot as a
Speaker 1: cast member, just a regular cast loon. Loon was the
Speaker 1: special guest artist. Yeah yeah, so then maybe he was
Speaker 1: the rapper. Then a few months later, so playing had
Speaker 1: come out and then his star had listen and when
Speaker 1: the original the other pilot for MTV, he was the
Speaker 1: special guest. That's where Gene Hang did his saying wild
Speaker 1: So um yeah, so that's that's that's from the people
Speaker 1: of old um uh. And I'm probably missing somebody that
Speaker 1: I should should say anyway, but you know those are
Speaker 1: those are the ones that I'm gonna go with for
Speaker 1: right now. Um of the new group. You want me
Speaker 1: to want okay, you want my roots? Yeah, you I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go in any order. I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: in any order. Um, no order. Um, I'm gonna go. Uh,
Speaker 1: Charlie Clips, Emmanuel Hudson, Um, Justina Valentine's let's go in there. Uh,

Speaker 1: saw the most improved I saw. I saw where you
Speaker 1: came from, and you improved so much and then took
Speaker 1: it to another stratosphere. And to me, that is the success.
Speaker 1: That's the goal for me years to go. I want
Speaker 1: to see you on another show or starting bell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you took it to another level where you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be this ultra entrepreneur and it's just
Speaker 1: something that I didn't even see, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And Justina, it's just you're just such a magical talent. No, no,
Speaker 1: every season, I'm like, we gotta bring in somebody to
Speaker 1: try to handle. Uh, you know, Justina, I had to
Speaker 1: get up. I just gave up. There's no one's going
Speaker 1: to do that. Like in a minute. You're just You're
Speaker 1: just we're just gonna sit you on the throne as
Speaker 1: the just the wild style poet and no one's just
Speaker 1: alone there now. But thank you. We appreciate honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: I we say it, but I just want to like
Speaker 1: say it while you're on here. Is that you know,
Speaker 1: you and Nick like really changed my life and I'll
Speaker 1: never forget that if it wasn't for y'all, Like you know,
Speaker 1: you gave me the platform and b I'm sure you
Speaker 1: could attest the same thing, the platform to like live
Speaker 1: my dreams show the world my talent, like get me money.
Speaker 1: I really can never words can never express my gratitude
Speaker 1: or even thank you enough, Like when people say this
Speaker 1: person changed my life, I really mean it when I
Speaker 1: say it about you and Nick, like you'll change my
Speaker 1: life and I just love you forever, like you place yourselves.
Speaker 1: All right, y'all, we gotta take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back with some more women while in our
Speaker 1: podcast without very special guests and levits. Yeah, we are
Speaker 1: back from break. I'm so excited to get into more
Speaker 1: with now Evans, our producer back with the Women a
Speaker 1: while now podcasts. So we want to know from you,
Speaker 1: what are some of the traps or missteps that you
Speaker 1: see young talent, new talent full into when they're starting
Speaker 1: their careers. I think that people are like especially with
Speaker 1: especially nowadays with the with with the internet, people are
Speaker 1: afraid to fail. People are so afraid to not have
Speaker 1: it would be the most perfect thing that they don't
Speaker 1: move forward in their career. And you gotta go out
Speaker 1: on stage and fail to you know, like when you
Speaker 1: started walking, you had to fall a bunch of times,
Speaker 1: and people don't want to fall anymore, and you know,
Speaker 1: because they're afraid someone might be recording and probably you know,
Speaker 1: but I feel like people just need to they need
Speaker 1: to understand that you've got to go through some ship
Speaker 1: to get to where you to be, and people don't
Speaker 1: want to go through that. They're just like, let me
Speaker 1: take the easiest route, and I go, if you just
Speaker 1: dragged the drug through the mud for a little bit,
Speaker 1: you'll understand what that world is like and how to
Speaker 1: either function in the mud or get out of the mud.
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, I just I just
Speaker 1: want people to know, like it's not gonna be easy.
Speaker 1: And most of the time, it's like a lot of
Speaker 1: these resources are right at your fingertips, but they're like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get an agent. How do
Speaker 1: you not know how to get an agent? When there's Google?
Speaker 1: How are you asking me a question saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to start a business? What you
Speaker 1: and any time? Thank you? And so I think that
Speaker 1: people are people are lazy because there's too many resources
Speaker 1: out here and they just want somebody to do it
Speaker 1: for him, and hungry, hungry, And I know, you know,
Speaker 1: my mother always said that, you know, people don't change
Speaker 1: into the pain gets great enough. So sometimes you gotta
Speaker 1: let people go through the pain. And that's how I
Speaker 1: am as a parent, that's how I am as a coach. Okay,
Speaker 1: I say, hey, man, when you like with my son,
Speaker 1: I go, you want to be late to school, you
Speaker 1: don't get to drive, you don't get to have your phone. Okay,
Speaker 1: when that pain is enough for you, then you'll get Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, I've had to fire people for not being
Speaker 1: on time and I know, yo, you don't. And I
Speaker 1: do that to say, hey, everyone, look what happened to him.
Speaker 1: He's not here anymore. I remember my first season, someone
Speaker 1: came late. People walking out with luggage. Yes, so someone
Speaker 1: came late to workshop. They're not on the show anymore,
Speaker 1: and you made them go around to the entire room.
Speaker 1: We were still doing you, you were still making cuts,
Speaker 1: so we were This was season He did it again,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. But season eight in l A, someone came
Speaker 1: late and you made them go to each and every
Speaker 1: one of us. There's probably thirty people and give a
Speaker 1: different funny reason why. They absolutely absolutely, because if you
Speaker 1: don't go through that, you just then you're gonna feel
Speaker 1: like I could just come in late whenever I want
Speaker 1: to know you can and I go, you can't do
Speaker 1: that here. You could do that at home. You can
Speaker 1: show up to the too much or wherever on your own,
Speaker 1: but not here. This is a job. What I also
Speaker 1: had to realize is a lot of these influences have
Speaker 1: never had real jobs. That never has clock in. They're
Speaker 1: they're doing internet stuff, never had to be accountable, never
Speaker 1: had to be accountable to anybody but themselves. And they're
Speaker 1: making money, which is great, But I go, this is
Speaker 1: a different structure. Also, we also have to keep in
Speaker 1: mind it's corporate, so there's things we can't say and
Speaker 1: can't do and uh, and it's a big addressment for
Speaker 1: some people. And so I understand that. But you're gonna
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna pay a fine if you want
Speaker 1: to be late. You know what I mean. If I
Speaker 1: can get up and be on time, you could be
Speaker 1: here on time on time? You can literally yes you alright.
Speaker 1: So now before we go, I just I have a
Speaker 1: very open ended question. You go, you go first, Oh,
Speaker 1: open ended. We'll not open ended. It's just very like
Speaker 1: kind of vague. I was just gonna say, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very broad. Um, you know, you've done so much, you've
Speaker 1: accomplished so much already at you know, a young age,
Speaker 1: because you're still mad young. But we just you're just
Speaker 1: like a mobile already in the business, a boss to
Speaker 1: so many people. It's like, what is not only what's next,
Speaker 1: but what do you see as the final destination? Question?
Speaker 1: Oh says jump right in. You know, we do it
Speaker 1: happen now? That was so good, go you're delivering it.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like, what do you have plan next?
Speaker 1: Having done so much already, and where do you see yourself?
Speaker 1: Like do you have a final destination? Like once I
Speaker 1: accomplished this, I'm chilling find me on an island with
Speaker 1: my family. Because you love what you do. I don't
Speaker 1: think you're ever going to stop or do you have
Speaker 1: retiring next year? Now? I do love what I do
Speaker 1: and in my mind, I'm just getting started. So I
Speaker 1: just feel like I feel like this show is like
Speaker 1: the springboard for me to do the next thing. This
Speaker 1: produce my show to find Yeah, we're gonna do that,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that. The panel there it is. But
Speaker 1: but my final destination is you know, I would I
Speaker 1: want to have another show. I would like to have
Speaker 1: a scripted show. Actually I'm gonna manifest I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a scripted show. So yeah, that that I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: writing and producing. Um and yeah, that's that's the goal
Speaker 1: for me. And what I'd like to do is have
Speaker 1: like maybe one or two more shows and then have
Speaker 1: that one show that just I can hit out on
Speaker 1: and be like cool, I just created Jeopardy right now,
Speaker 1: what's my life? And and and ride into the sunset
Speaker 1: and you know, to me like wilding out raised my
Speaker 1: son from birth too. I mean, it's still going to
Speaker 1: go into Now. I have six year old girls, so
Speaker 1: I need another show that's gonna take them them and
Speaker 1: then to where I can get to a point where
Speaker 1: I can just you know, I can do whatever I
Speaker 1: want to financial freedom, that's where you want to get freedom.
Speaker 1: But we want to be in the stripted show now,
Speaker 1: so just you know, write us in. Listen. It's a
Speaker 1: done deal. All right. Well, I mean what I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, come on, very go ahead. Was gonna say
Speaker 1: you could go, but we have some more questions to
Speaker 1: get to. Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Now, how do
Speaker 1: I find a man? Did you eighty and all this
Speaker 1: week's stuff? How do you find a man's let's dig
Speaker 1: deep into that. Let's dig deep into that. How do
Speaker 1: you find a man? One you manifested man? You know
Speaker 1: you have to manifest it. And I always tell people,
Speaker 1: if you don't know what you want you like, Let's
Speaker 1: just put it like this. When you go to a restaurant,
Speaker 1: they give you a what when you sit down, men
Speaker 1: and a menu has a bunch of different items. Right cool?
Speaker 1: But does the waiter say here, you're gonna have this?
Speaker 1: Or what do you do? You order? Right? You order?
Speaker 1: You order what the thing you want? If you don't,
Speaker 1: you order everything. So that's like dating. Let's see, I
Speaker 1: could date, you can, but you can try everything on
Speaker 1: the menu, and I know, next time I go back,
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I didn't like that. But at
Speaker 1: this point you should have dated enough to know what
Speaker 1: you like and what you don't like, and what works
Speaker 1: for you and what's healthy for you. But you're right.
Speaker 1: Until you figure that out, you're gonna be in a limbo.
Speaker 1: And I go until you make an order. The waiter
Speaker 1: can't put your order in so that God can say
Speaker 1: here's your guy. But you're you're just gonna be dating
Speaker 1: around and not really if you don't say I want
Speaker 1: my husband to be this, this, this, this, I want
Speaker 1: his interior to be this, this, this, this. I want
Speaker 1: him to look like this, this, this, this, this, and
Speaker 1: I want him to treat me like this, this, this this.
Speaker 1: Then then you're just walking around with you have no listen.
Speaker 1: If if if, if you put into your into your navigation,
Speaker 1: take me to New York. It's gonna drop you off
Speaker 1: in New York somewhere anywhere. But if you say I
Speaker 1: want to go on fifth and Broadway, I want to
Speaker 1: go here, it's gonna take you there until you order
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. And then what do you do
Speaker 1: to your order? Oh? I like this salmon, but can
Speaker 1: you put this on the side? Can you do this?
Speaker 1: Now you've refined it and made it exactly how you
Speaker 1: want it, But until you do that, you just you're
Speaker 1: just saying, give me whatever y'all got. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's a good example of that. I made a list
Speaker 1: of my ex, Like before I met my ex, I
Speaker 1: made a whole list, like you said. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, if I want this type of man, what
Speaker 1: type of woman does he have to have by his side? Right?
Speaker 1: So I made that list and I made my list,
Speaker 1: and I feel like my ex was a ninety percent
Speaker 1: of that list. And guess what, I started taking off
Speaker 1: of it just like any But I'm saying like I
Speaker 1: was like, um, a good father, like baby he or
Speaker 1: a father or whatever. I was like, you gotta be specific,
Speaker 1: not a father yet because he was a father, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So he made me change out
Speaker 1: some things like likes to go out, likes to have fun.
Speaker 1: He went out too much, so I sometimes you gott
Speaker 1: that when I feel like it. You know, he likes
Speaker 1: to take me out, saying do fun things together? You
Speaker 1: get he knows when to go home, right it's sick,
Speaker 1: the night is over. You gotta be uber specific if
Speaker 1: you want the thing that, like I said, if you're
Speaker 1: ordering off the menu, you know you like the salmon
Speaker 1: I wanted, but I want the dressing on the side.
Speaker 1: Can you give him I want a side salad, but
Speaker 1: some crueltons here. Refine that thing to where you find
Speaker 1: what I wanted to be and then say this is
Speaker 1: what I want and I promise you. He shows up
Speaker 1: a promise period. Thanks. That's so cute. There is Where
Speaker 1: did you? How did you find your wife? Now? Was
Speaker 1: it like your mutual friend or nah Facebook, Costco. Right,
Speaker 1: I made the purchase at Costco. I bought her at Costco.
Speaker 1: That's that's a terrible joke, I thought at Costco. I
Speaker 1: met my wife on Facebook and um yeah. And I
Speaker 1: used to do a blog called the Gluttony Tour and
Speaker 1: where I would where I was gonna go on I
Speaker 1: was gonna go on the Fast, but before I went
Speaker 1: on the Fast, I was gonna go to all the
Speaker 1: restaurants that I loved. And I was like, if people
Speaker 1: want to come along, they can, And it became a
Speaker 1: thing and people started. I would be like, Yo, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to this this taco truck, and then people
Speaker 1: would show up at the taco truck and so and so.
Speaker 1: I would blog a lot, right, and so people knew
Speaker 1: me from my blog and and and and being on
Speaker 1: on Facebook. And I wrote this. I wrote this back
Speaker 1: in the days and had these things called Facebook notes,
Speaker 1: and I would write these funny notes. And this one
Speaker 1: was called utilizing your lights end And I probably could
Speaker 1: never write it now, but I thought it was. It
Speaker 1: was just a funny thing about you know, if you
Speaker 1: if you are going to have this privilege, you better
Speaker 1: utilize it basically, you know what I mean. It's like,
Speaker 1: if you're white, utilize your white privilege if you can,
Speaker 1: just don't abuse it. But right, And so somehow my wife,
Speaker 1: she wasn't my wife at the time, she found um,
Speaker 1: she found somebody said Yo, you gotta read this. And
Speaker 1: so I always say she's cyberstalking me because I put
Speaker 1: on my I put on my Facebook. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to this this restaurant. And she was like,
Speaker 1: I want to go to that restaurant too, And so
Speaker 1: I said, if you meet me there, I won't be
Speaker 1: able to recognize you. So you gotta have an I
Speaker 1: Heart nile t shirt on. She was like, she was like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: she didn't do it, but she thought about it. But
Speaker 1: she ended up we we had a date that we
Speaker 1: we went to we went to this place called harven Stone,
Speaker 1: um in Hollywood, and we had a we had a
Speaker 1: great date, um, you know, and I was you know,
Speaker 1: I was being typical nonchalant me and we had a
Speaker 1: good time, and uh, you know, we started dating a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Um and you know, then date one
Speaker 1: were you like this is my wife or just you
Speaker 1: didn't know? I was like, you're cool and you but see,
Speaker 1: let let me go, let me take it a step back.
Speaker 1: I manifested. I manifested my son's mother. But I didn't
Speaker 1: manifest the things that I really want. An interior, the
Speaker 1: interior stuff. They're not manifested. They're not manifested, all the
Speaker 1: interior stuff that I really wanted. And so when I say,
Speaker 1: when I tell the story, I go. I didn't recognize
Speaker 1: that she was supposed to be my wife because I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you're cool. Whatever, Yeah, you're cool. I'll
Speaker 1: take you. We'll we'll go out a few times. And
Speaker 1: God was like this, oh you don't see that, this
Speaker 1: is the one you asked for. Jesus, So my wife
Speaker 1: so so so Julia is her name. She gets sick
Speaker 1: and she goes to the hospital and finds out she
Speaker 1: has staged four brain cancer. Jesus and God knows my heart.
Speaker 1: And I was like, and she was like, look, I'm
Speaker 1: going through this thing. I have to have surgery on Thursday.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be around for this. Just you know,
Speaker 1: it's all good. I said, you're gonna have surgery on Thursday.
Speaker 1: I said, I'll be there on Thursday. I can't believe that.
Speaker 1: In the beginning, that was we're made three dates in
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know. And then I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll be there on Thursday surgery. Cool. Yeah, I sery
Speaker 1: the whole thing, the recovery, and I spent I might
Speaker 1: have spent two weeks in the hospital with her, spending
Speaker 1: the night in there with her, and that was the
Speaker 1: thing that brought us together. And that was nothing, but
Speaker 1: my manifestation said that was like, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is her. Let me now now, now I know,
Speaker 1: I'm a little not all done up, dolled up hair, makeup,
Speaker 1: weave booty, you know, you get you get to see
Speaker 1: her heart at her lowest point, at her lowest point,
Speaker 1: and I was like, and I still was kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're cool, but I'm gonna rock this out with you.
Speaker 1: And then and then you know, she was doing chemo
Speaker 1: and she was like, you need to give this a try,
Speaker 1: and I said, got it, you're right. She said that.
Speaker 1: She said, oh God said that because I was on
Speaker 1: my I'm still out here because she was like, now
Speaker 1: you need to get us a try. And so that
Speaker 1: was it. That was it, and you know, and and
Speaker 1: she recovered and you know, and and and we're good
Speaker 1: to this day. And before y'all got married, we did
Speaker 1: it for a while. I mean we did it. We
Speaker 1: did it for a long time. I mean it was
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years and lived together and
Speaker 1: broke up and got back together. You know, we went
Speaker 1: we went through some things and then and so um,
Speaker 1: you know, and then it was a time where it
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, where am I in my life?
Speaker 1: Let's let's yeah, let's just get to that step out
Speaker 1: on faith. And what you realize is every time you
Speaker 1: step out on faith, your life gets better. Something good
Speaker 1: comes from it, whether you'll stay together, whether whatever it is,
Speaker 1: something good comes from it. And my uncle told me
Speaker 1: a lot of time with this is man, when you
Speaker 1: get a wife, you'll be able to focus Jesus. And
Speaker 1: when I did, I was way more focused. Everything started.
Speaker 1: This was when while and now first started coming back.
Speaker 1: You know, I was kind of in between things why
Speaker 1: and I just started coming back when I when I
Speaker 1: got with her, and it was just like then the
Speaker 1: ball started rolling in every stage in my life that
Speaker 1: I needed more elevated. God was like, here you go,
Speaker 1: you did the wife, Here you go, Oh you need this,
Speaker 1: Oh you need the house. Here you go, you got,
Speaker 1: you got, you got twin girls, here you go. Let
Speaker 1: me provide for this. It was like yeah, and then
Speaker 1: and then honestly, you find a wife who loves you
Speaker 1: and hold you down and like, now you're not out
Speaker 1: there just dating and you know, being in the streets
Speaker 1: and stuff. So when you get a white you'll be
Speaker 1: able to focus. That's the only thing that's hilarious. Thank you.
Speaker 1: So I got another while now question now, because you know,
Speaker 1: we've had people on the show who, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: felt were talented in their own right, whether they were
Speaker 1: a social media person or median. But what is the
Speaker 1: difference between a talented performer and a talented performer who's
Speaker 1: actually set successful on while now? Because there's a difference,
Speaker 1: and not all talented people are able to make it
Speaker 1: on the right because most of the time people are
Speaker 1: talented on their own and when we get them, they're
Speaker 1: usually like we never get hairs of people usually get
Speaker 1: either you're a stand up, you're an improv actor, or
Speaker 1: your uh, you know, influencer, and you have to on
Speaker 1: on in order to in order to work on this show,
Speaker 1: you have to work as a team and you have
Speaker 1: to be a team player, and it's hard. It's a
Speaker 1: hard transition for someone to come in and go, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm talented on my own. I get laughs on my own,
Speaker 1: but I gotta work with I gotta work with Carlos
Speaker 1: or I have to be the butt of a joke
Speaker 1: and I gotta laugh this thing off or less. Somebody
Speaker 1: have their shine for a minute. You ain't always got
Speaker 1: to be the head of the show. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know on the internet, you're always the star. You're always
Speaker 1: the star. Yeah, You're always a star. So you know,
Speaker 1: it takes a lot for a lot of people to
Speaker 1: transition and understand that this is a team sport and
Speaker 1: then we're all in it together to make one funny show.
Speaker 1: It's it's competitive, but it's not really that competitive. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna figure out what we're gonna do,
Speaker 1: but we just want to make a great funny show.
Speaker 1: Like we don't care about the score on the show.
Speaker 1: We just care about did everyone have a good time?
Speaker 1: You know, no one cares to snoop one are lost.
Speaker 1: We just care everyone laughed. Yeah. Yeah, And a lot
Speaker 1: of people, you know, they don't Sometimes they just don't
Speaker 1: work within a team structure like that, and you know
Speaker 1: they gotta go and they you know, or they're selfish,
Speaker 1: or they just have a big ego, you know, And
Speaker 1: I go, if your ego is bigger than next, then
Speaker 1: you got a problem does over here? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: Nick is probably one of the most humble guys in
Speaker 1: the world. So it's like, you know, you don't. You
Speaker 1: don't have to come in with all that bravado. Take
Speaker 1: that down a notch and come play these games great,
Speaker 1: you know, period. I think we need a good Nile quote.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Oh man, a good quote? Oh man,
Speaker 1: I almost forgot the format of the show. Oh what
Speaker 1: is the quote? Um, I'm gonna take a quote. You know.
Speaker 1: I had a good one that I had a meeting
Speaker 1: yesterday and somebody who told me this great quote. But
Speaker 1: this one is one that my uncle always said. He says,
Speaker 1: when you know better, you do better. That's it. And
Speaker 1: most people know better, but they choose not to do better.
Speaker 1: And when when when you are in the know and
Speaker 1: you already know it, you know, now it's up to
Speaker 1: you to do better. So I know that I don't.
Speaker 1: This type of person is not for me. And I
Speaker 1: keep going back. If you know better, you do better.
Speaker 1: So when you figure out that something is not working
Speaker 1: for you, you've got to do better and either go
Speaker 1: past that thing or work through that thing. Yeah, from
Speaker 1: your diet, to the people in your life, to your career,
Speaker 1: whatever that is, whatever resonates with y'all, whoever is listening
Speaker 1: to this podcast is better. Better because the definition of
Speaker 1: insanity is doing the same thing over over over over
Speaker 1: and expecting expecting a different result. You're not gonna get
Speaker 1: a different result. It's the thing that's why you don't
Speaker 1: date the same types of dudes. Go find a different type.
Speaker 1: You level up, You level up, you know, get something different,
Speaker 1: you know, rappers, no more, no more data. Plumber a
Speaker 1: hundred percent the owner of the plumbing company. Hello, thank you?

Speaker 1: and women a while in our podcast. We are back
Speaker 1: and we just had now events on here our producer,
Speaker 1: my you know, industry dad. He was so good, just
Speaker 1: he was so good and it was so cool be
Speaker 1: like to you know now, like knows all of our
Speaker 1: stories and he watched us grow. But for us to
Speaker 1: be able to be like, well, what's your story? We
Speaker 1: want to hear him back in the day and to
Speaker 1: even just hear the skill set that he has it
Speaker 1: literally in his family, his aunt, his uncle, or being
Speaker 1: showrunners and being like the forces behind so many iconic shows.
Speaker 1: That was a cool thing. I had no idea. And
Speaker 1: him talking about his wife, their story is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: But that's how sometimes you gotta do. You gotta hit
Speaker 1: these niggas upside the head and be like, look, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm the one, okay, So you need to take this chance,
Speaker 1: stef I don't faith and stop dating me and make
Speaker 1: me your wife. Right. No, that was like super bossy
Speaker 1: of her. She was like, look, you just stood with
Speaker 1: me in the hospital for two weeks like it should.
Speaker 1: Now you need to come give us a chance and right,
Speaker 1: And she is so sweet. I absolutely loved, like, she's
Speaker 1: so dope. But it's cool to hear how that came
Speaker 1: about and she was really that calming force that sat
Speaker 1: him down and was like, no, we're about to do
Speaker 1: this because it seems like that's what he needed in
Speaker 1: his life at that time time. What was the quote
Speaker 1: he said is uncle said if you when you get
Speaker 1: a wife, you'll be focused. Yes, once you get a wife,
Speaker 1: like you'll you'll be settled and I guess just focused
Speaker 1: on what you need to do. But it's it's the
Speaker 1: truth when you think about it. Be like even thinking
Speaker 1: like you know, let's say right now you were trying
Speaker 1: to date around you wouldn't have the time for it.
Speaker 1: It's like, right, it does take your energy and your
Speaker 1: focus away from other things. So you know, right, right, right,
Speaker 1: So when you have that one person, you're focused on
Speaker 1: all the building and growing and pouring into each other together. Hello,
Speaker 1: you know you have a goal, you have more focus.
Speaker 1: You're just not looking out to lift and right up
Speaker 1: down left you focus on that goal you know, with
Speaker 1: with your significant other. So I love that. Yes, Like
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know all that about him. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad I made his top five. I was saw
Speaker 1: but see if it was you and B he would
Speaker 1: have been like Vina, No, if Veena is here. He
Speaker 1: would have had to like say all three and not
Speaker 1: one of the person, all three of us, because you
Speaker 1: know he wasn't gonna do two or not one. Now
Speaker 1: he's like, but I really I would you know me, Like,

Speaker 1: just your brand and just you as a person, like
Speaker 1: your legendary and you've exceeded and done so much when
Speaker 1: he put you on the list, like you're definitely deserving
Speaker 1: of that. And like he said, it's not just about
Speaker 1: the show, it's also about like everything you've done into exactly,
Speaker 1: so like all that and that's what I feel about you.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you out something about Justina. I don't
Speaker 1: care how long she's been doing something. I don't care
Speaker 1: how bomb, how bossy, how amazing she is at something.
Speaker 1: Justina Valentine treats every single day like day won I
Speaker 1: really value that you stand that and see that in you.
