Speaker 1: real airbnbat airbashing and beating. He tried to unlock that
Speaker 1: door after the ass. He didn't want to even unlock
Speaker 1: his phone after that ship. I can't believe that a

Speaker 1: are inspired by songs. Like people listen to a certain
Speaker 1: song and they try to Oh there's a song like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, winds beneath my went, beneath my wings, I
Speaker 1: believe I can fly. Oh you're right, Yeah, yeah, he

Speaker 1: Everybody's going crazy. Another crazy guy. Kanye west On followed
Speaker 1: Kim Kadashian in real life and then follow the Whole

Speaker 1: not keeping up the Kadashian anymore. Were good for him?
Speaker 1: What the funk? Else happened? Something happened last but not
Speaker 1: least fu Yeah, there's a lot of things been happening lately,
Speaker 1: Like the outfit you're wearing. Oh yeah, this is This
Speaker 1: is inspired by Ninja Turtles. You know what this is?
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite outfit out used to
Speaker 1: well on stage about three years ago. This was made
Speaker 1: in Togo um where Togo Togoys in West Africa's right
Speaker 1: next door to Nigeria, if I'm not mistaken, really really
Speaker 1: cool place. It's French speaking country, a very small country, peaceful.
Speaker 1: I went to a Chinese restaurant earlier and I took
Speaker 1: my food to go because they weren't letting people in
Speaker 1: inside to eat, to to go. It's that can't be
Speaker 1: a stand up comedian like, never make you laugh. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna make it with that joke that they probably
Speaker 1: throw tomatoes that you intego and they're gonna ask you
Speaker 1: to go to another fucking country again. That's really nice though, No, no,
Speaker 1: I think not this lady should wear it again? Where
Speaker 1: to your show? Why? Mike? You know you have a problem.
Speaker 1: You don't have to wear just one clothes one time
Speaker 1: in one weekend and put it in your closet and disappearance.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep wearing them. You're wasting a lot of
Speaker 1: money in the store. I probably am man, But you
Speaker 1: know what, my my fans spent so much money to
Speaker 1: come and see me, have to spend that money on.
Speaker 1: They don't give a funk what you wear. They just
Speaker 1: want to do. Of course they don't. You don't get
Speaker 1: funk about me. They know, of course they don't. A
Speaker 1: lot of them. Come to see where the funk I'm wearing?
Speaker 1: Best friend? Talking about best friend? Your best friend? Dr Fauci,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's going on with here? You tell me, motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You know, the CROSA heard that they got ahold of
Speaker 1: his emails and what happened, and that the Nigerian lady
Speaker 1: that people thought she was crazy. She's a doctor that
Speaker 1: you know, they care for. Corona was hydro corkin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all along. I mean, I never doubted it, but
Speaker 1: I can't, you know, I don't have the power to
Speaker 1: say the cloak croine was what we used to um,
Speaker 1: I don't know about hydro part I don't know. I
Speaker 1: know about clod coin from like seventies and eighties. That's
Speaker 1: what we took kids in Africa to kill malaria, you know,
Speaker 1: and malaria is almost probably it's it has some of
Speaker 1: the symptoms of COVID. You know, we definitely not lose
Speaker 1: no taste because after we you know, care from COVID,
Speaker 1: we malarias, we eat fucking food food, and we eat everything,
Speaker 1: you know, we eat everything without so we don't you
Speaker 1: don't lose no taste and there's no vomiting, but it's
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fever and a few things. But
Speaker 1: it could be right with that whole hydro cleric ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's in trouble. People are saying that fire Foulgi,
Speaker 1: fire folgi. Yeah, but you know they needed this to
Speaker 1: go as long as possible without no cares that it
Speaker 1: could make money. So that's how look at it. The pharmaceuticals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. Even though the COVID shots are free, there's
Speaker 1: still something else behind it. It's free to the public,
Speaker 1: but the country is payingful somehow. Yeah, trillions of dollars. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. Last, but not least, something else happened
Speaker 1: this week. Um fucking guy in Detroit named Jamal. Or
Speaker 1: if his name is Jamal, he's black. Most likely I
Speaker 1: don't know, Mike. I've heard a white guy named Jamal
Speaker 1: high spur. His name best friend James, James James spelled,
Speaker 1: and he visited Ghana and he changed his name to
Speaker 1: Jamal coming back home. Yeah, Well, a guy named Jamal
Speaker 1: in Detroit won the lottery dollars not Detroit. People are
Speaker 1: still broke that thirty thou feels like thirty million dollars.
Speaker 1: The guy wins thirty thousand on the lottery, and just
Speaker 1: like a black man, the first thing to go do
Speaker 1: is by what jewelry worth? The jewelry and I guess
Speaker 1: what happened. Somebody he gets robbed and got the jewry
Speaker 1: snipe from him. Oh my god, if you look at
Speaker 1: this guy, by looking at him, he looked like he
Speaker 1: should have spent that money on like gym membership insurance,
Speaker 1: he had fucked up teeth, some pepper spray on Amazon,
Speaker 1: maybe gun. Yeah. I can't believe he would spend the
Speaker 1: of his lottery winnings on jewelry. That's that's dumb. That's dumb.

Speaker 1: let's go. Me like me and let me go its
Speaker 1: way back we got out, you know, let me start
Speaker 1: out producing shows for um. Uh. We had a bunch
Speaker 1: of shows on like Oxygen BT, a lot of the
Speaker 1: Viacom networks and NBCU networks and then we met how
Speaker 1: we met people do the show that I was on
Speaker 1: called Living with Funny, That was that damnam. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was on Oxygen So that was we did, uh maybe
Speaker 1: a f fifteen maybe we shot in fourteen fourteen, So
Speaker 1: we shot and we sold. Yeah, we sold it the
Speaker 1: Oxygen Uh yeah a few years ago and went straight
Speaker 1: to series and which is very rare, right to go
Speaker 1: straight to series, and we had a lot of great
Speaker 1: cast members. It was obviously Michael and Brandon T Jackson,
Speaker 1: d Ray Davis and uh. It was hilarious and it
Speaker 1: was it was behind the scenes of their their lives
Speaker 1: and they let us in Michael let us in a
Speaker 1: little bit and I got to meet my kids and
Speaker 1: my crazy girlfriend shout out to um, huh listening right now? Yeah? Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: um right, no, it was it was georg George. Your
Speaker 1: wife Georgia was on Georgia. Yeah. It was a good show. Um,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. And then, you know,
Speaker 1: because what I was talking about earlier, I know, before
Speaker 1: when I came to the main reason I moved to
Speaker 1: l A was round the time we met, and I
Speaker 1: moved to l A to do some kind of radio show,
Speaker 1: online radio show that never happened. So when it didn't happen,
Speaker 1: I got frustrated. I was ready to go back East.
Speaker 1: And then they came up that I did to do
Speaker 1: Live with Funny, Live with Funny. It's kind of what
Speaker 1: kept me in l A. And I'm glad I stayed
Speaker 1: because l A just makes you elevate your life, make
Speaker 1: you want to just become greater and greater and greater.
Speaker 1: And you know that's how we end up here today.
Speaker 1: Now he with him, you know, I mean, he went
Speaker 1: from just producing showing him network to owning a network
Speaker 1: pretty much. That man, Thank you, I appreciate that. Thanks
Speaker 1: for letting Mike stay in Los Angeles. Of course I've
Speaker 1: never met the mothersucker. No, you know, it was it
Speaker 1: was crazy. We I was, I was executive producing shows
Speaker 1: for a while. It was it was I saw my
Speaker 1: first show when I was twenty one and um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was crazy to be Was that that that preachers know?
Speaker 1: That was? That was a show called Vindicated and uh
Speaker 1: it was about people wrongfully con maketed the crimes and
Speaker 1: Morris Chess not hosted it and it was it was crazy. Um.
Speaker 1: But then at BT we we did a lot of
Speaker 1: we I was. I had a deal over there for
Speaker 1: like three years, most three years, and we we had
Speaker 1: a lot of shows. Um u that we did the
Speaker 1: one with snooping them? What was that called? That was?
Speaker 1: That was after though that But during the time when
Speaker 1: I was twenty one, it was Vindicated. It was like
Speaker 1: the Monique show I produced on her talk show. That
Speaker 1: was that we shot in Atlanta. Um, Terry Cruises reality
Speaker 1: show the Family Cruise did. Yeah, was that when Mike
Speaker 1: was there Valet guys. Terry had he's best fucking friend, Doug.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Kids? It's a difference than reality
Speaker 1: in the sitcom like, yeah, they went out. There was
Speaker 1: a sitcom for TBS Terry called We Did What We Did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: um sitcom right produced by Ice C starring Terry Crewise,
Speaker 1: and I did, like I did three or four episodes
Speaker 1: of the show. Is this podcast reality or this is reality?
Speaker 1: This would be reality? This should be considered a form
Speaker 1: of reality. So but yeah, so it was it was
Speaker 1: Terry Crews show. That was a great reality show. And
Speaker 1: then it was several other pilots and stuff that we
Speaker 1: did Sunday Best. It was a bunch of stuff. And
Speaker 1: then after BT I kind of left and I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to start my own full service production company.
Speaker 1: And that was like really important for me because there
Speaker 1: was no in the difference with like executive producing shows
Speaker 1: and owning a production company that that sells to networks
Speaker 1: is is significantly different. It's it's you're facilitating the shows.
Speaker 1: So that means the networks are paying you a certain
Speaker 1: amount to pay for everything the cast, the the show runners,
Speaker 1: the the production to really facilitate and deliver the show.
Speaker 1: So that was that was when I started uh l
Speaker 1: Plumber Media and then we saw it was called l
Speaker 1: Plumber Media. It was it was named after my last name.
Speaker 1: But then if we we sold The Preachers of l A.
Speaker 1: That was the first series I sold UH to to
Speaker 1: UH to what was it of Oxygen and so it
Speaker 1: was a crazy hit. It was it was um it
Speaker 1: was the highest rated series at the network and it
Speaker 1: was following a bunch of Preachers, and then we franchise.
Speaker 1: We did a second season, franchises to Atlanta, Detroit, and
Speaker 1: then after that we ended up selling UH Living with
Speaker 1: Funny uh to UH to Oxygen and Esquire at the time,
Speaker 1: So that was the first time we we sold one
Speaker 1: series to two networks, and which was very unique and
Speaker 1: different because the the head of NBC was like, I
Speaker 1: want to do something different both my networks, and they
Speaker 1: love Michael, they love you know, d Ray and Brandon,
Speaker 1: and they were like, we got to do this, and
Speaker 1: unfortunately Esquire kind of started transitioning because they were I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with that network. It was some
Speaker 1: some things that went down, and so we just ended
Speaker 1: up putting the show on Oxygen solely. But originally the
Speaker 1: deal was for for both and so we were we
Speaker 1: were going to go on the road and shoot for Esquire.
Speaker 1: The guys doing the stand up comedy and then eveld
Speaker 1: tune in right after on their sister network, Oxygen and
Speaker 1: watched them out home. So that was kind of the
Speaker 1: original idea. But we still got paid for it. We
Speaker 1: still got paid for the other thing. World. He's definitely
Speaker 1: the smartest guys, smartest. I have a question for you, sir,
Speaker 1: what are you going to do a stand up special
Speaker 1: for Michael Blocks? And that's that's up to Michael. Michael. Look,
Speaker 1: I've been Michael was talking about doing a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's Michael is a very like Michael Is. He's
Speaker 1: been out here for for a very long time, and uh,
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of success. Everybody in the business
Speaker 1: knows Michael. You know, he's very successful on the road. Um,
Speaker 1: and so he's just I know, he's very careful, cautious
Speaker 1: and calculated with doing a stand up special for whatever
Speaker 1: distribution company. So that's a Zus. It is so important
Speaker 1: to me. The money got to be right, you know,
Speaker 1: And I got really like lately, where to give these
Speaker 1: guys twenty million dollars all this crazy kind of money,
Speaker 1: and you know, go right, I'll still my children, Michael
Speaker 1: Blocks and Mr Zus could afford you know, look at
Speaker 1: these two buds. He got them from the Michael million
Speaker 1: dollars us. Uh, how do you know? Let's talk about
Speaker 1: how you came up with Zeus. Hold on, Darrel, where
Speaker 1: you come on? Man? Why don't you come over here?
Speaker 1: You just snuck in here? Come on? Yeah, you could
Speaker 1: talk on that Mike. He's been around for the beginning
Speaker 1: of Zeus. Yeah, that that Mike right there, that now
Speaker 1: he needed. I'll get you and shading Mike with him
Speaker 1: because if not, this guy's not talking. So oh yeah,
Speaker 1: no they're gonna talk. I need you all to add
Speaker 1: lit from time to time. Yeah, yeah, I go to Mike.
Speaker 1: Yeah we go. They're all gonna take the Mike. There
Speaker 1: we go. So is this good? Yeah? So you asked
Speaker 1: me about Zeus? Yeah, how did you get so? So
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I I was selling a lot of
Speaker 1: shows right for about five six years or so to
Speaker 1: all these networks, right, and the problem for me was
Speaker 1: it was great money. You know, they would pay us
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to shoot one series. So right, it's
Speaker 1: is great, Like the money is great. You know that
Speaker 1: we were getting so usually a series in reality space
Speaker 1: to to produce for some of those networks range around
Speaker 1: I don't know, three to maybe six million dollars per
Speaker 1: series that they would give to a production company, but
Speaker 1: that you would have to pay for everything, right you
Speaker 1: you it's not just your money and they're just giving
Speaker 1: you a check of six whatever right there. They're giving
Speaker 1: you the payments and increments, so every time you hit
Speaker 1: a certain milestone, you get a new payment, UM. And
Speaker 1: that's really the deal that we structured. And so, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we would all we would we would use
Speaker 1: that money to pay the cast. We would use that
Speaker 1: money to pay for our overhead. We would use that
Speaker 1: money to pay for our camera crew, equipment, office space, UM,
Speaker 1: post production, the editing, all the bodies, the showrunners, the producers,
Speaker 1: and story produce. So it was it was great to
Speaker 1: be a black owned, full service production company because it
Speaker 1: was that was the thing for me. When I launched
Speaker 1: my production, it was no black production companies and so
Speaker 1: a lot of the reality shows that we're on major
Speaker 1: networks were facilitated by these you know, white owned networks UM.
Speaker 1: And so for me, I just I just thought it
Speaker 1: was weird, like we all these black shows around, all
Speaker 1: these white networks, and these white production companies are facilitating it,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, did it just didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: So that's when I just said, let me, let me,
Speaker 1: let me take a stab at it. And we had
Speaker 1: a lot of success over those five six years, and
Speaker 1: we sold, like you said, the Living with Funny. Then
Speaker 1: it was Music Moguls, The Preachers franchise. Music Moguls featured
Speaker 1: Damon dash Uh, Birdman, Snoop Dogg, and Jermaine dupri And
Speaker 1: then I sold a show with Viola Davis called Two Sides.
Speaker 1: And so I just kind of got to a point
Speaker 1: where I was like, you know, this is great, We're
Speaker 1: making good money, but you know it's it wasn't just
Speaker 1: about the money. I didn't own the shows. So even
Speaker 1: though they were giving us, they were giving us the
Speaker 1: budgets to to facilitate the productions, they didn't they we
Speaker 1: didn't own the shows, and we couldn't make any any
Speaker 1: decisions regarding the creative or business of the show right.
Speaker 1: And so I just said, how do I become my
Speaker 1: own distribution platform and really facilitate and own the content
Speaker 1: and and give the other content partners and creators the
Speaker 1: ability to own their shows that have creative input to
Speaker 1: make more money and monetize. And then that's when I
Speaker 1: launched Jews because I saw that there was avoiding in
Speaker 1: this space and there was opportunity and what we call
Speaker 1: the subscription video on demand you know, oh yeah, just
Speaker 1: like Netflix. Zeus is like a Netflix. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: and people people would watch content that way. That's we
Speaker 1: we learned that people were kind of tired of watching
Speaker 1: linear what we call linear television and appointment TV. It's
Speaker 1: like kind of it's kind of old school, right. People
Speaker 1: don't usually like to go home and flip the channels
Speaker 1: and not at nine o'clock and watch the program. So
Speaker 1: nowadays people want to watch it their convenience, choice and
Speaker 1: control on whatever device that they have, whether it's your phone,
Speaker 1: whether it's an Apple TV. They want to be able
Speaker 1: to have that that control to do that. And so
Speaker 1: Netflix succeeded tremendously with that model, and then a lot
Speaker 1: of other folks started to follow suit, and uh, I,
Speaker 1: I said, let me get into that space. I just
Speaker 1: need to figure out the technology, which I which I
Speaker 1: was able to do, and then it became about creating
Speaker 1: the content and making that investment. So I invested in
Speaker 1: Zeus and aggregated a lot of other content creators, and
Speaker 1: then we launched. Wow, that's amazing. So where are you
Speaker 1: where you guys at right now? Sorry, this feels like
Speaker 1: the most serious interview you get. No. One of the
Speaker 1: top networks right now? Yeah? Yeah, So are you subscribed
Speaker 1: as I was? And then you know, hell no, child
Speaker 1: support took all my money and I had to change
Speaker 1: my credit card. I need to update my payments. We did.
Speaker 1: We did increase our price though, you did go up
Speaker 1: from what kind of child support? But don't worry me.
Speaker 1: At the end of the show, I'm gonna update my
Speaker 1: payment all right. I appreciate the support from what he has.
Speaker 1: He still has still subscriber, he does, that's true. Uh,
Speaker 1: but but uh, you know it's great. It's great, man.
Speaker 1: I think we've come a long way. You know, we've
Speaker 1: learned a lot. We've we've experimented in this space. We
Speaker 1: figured out a niche uh and uh, you know, being
Speaker 1: black owned and I mean this was the distribution is
Speaker 1: the key, right. It's like, if you can have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go direct to consumer and and really like
Speaker 1: you know, succeed at that, you win. And so for us,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of folks can create content, but
Speaker 1: they got to figure out at home, and then they
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to monetize. And so
Speaker 1: if you if you can figure that out, you know,
Speaker 1: you have a great chance of you know, really creating
Speaker 1: a business that in this in this space right that
Speaker 1: can really succeed and do well. And so we figured
Speaker 1: that out. We figured out a great niche. We We
Speaker 1: are creating a ton of original programming long form that
Speaker 1: people are are are watching and enjoying. It's our Our
Speaker 1: ship is loud. It's very loud, very provocative. You know.
Speaker 1: We got the Jocelyn Show. Yeah, that one's real good.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. We have you know, obviously Dr Blackston, we
Speaker 1: pushed the envelope the black I was like, I was
Speaker 1: nervous about that one. I can't rely oh because it
Speaker 1: was no filter. Yeah. Dr black was up top of
Speaker 1: my head the thinking about what the thing I come out.
Speaker 1: Dr blacks And you know, I've been around for a
Speaker 1: while and a lot of my fan base are young

Speaker 1: when we put this on Zoos, I'll have editing rights.
Speaker 1: You're not to really get me killed. But but real talk,
Speaker 1: Uh no, it's it's we never we never intentionally went
Speaker 1: after anybody. We we actually people started inquiring about wanting
Speaker 1: to work with us, and so I think we just
Speaker 1: we we put out amazing program programming and a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of a lot of very talented folks
Speaker 1: was reaching out in one and that you know, put
Speaker 1: out shows and shows that people passed on people's you know,
Speaker 1: because in in in regular what we call regular or
Speaker 1: linear television, because it's advertisers this the content has to
Speaker 1: be censored a little bit, right. You can't. You can't
Speaker 1: be too loud, you can't be offensive, you can't. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, uh censorship, you know,
Speaker 1: situation components to the I'm talking about what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about with like a VH one rights. So folks just
Speaker 1: you know, when we when we put out when we
Speaker 1: put out China even be sabone and quite, it's like
Speaker 1: people were like, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta rock
Speaker 1: with zeus like this this is like the new thing
Speaker 1: like that, Like they're they're putting out shows, people are
Speaker 1: getting paid, the shows are actually good. It's not like
Speaker 1: bootleg like we put out premium content like you know,
Speaker 1: and so for us, and it's raw and you can
Speaker 1: get it anywhere at any time. Him. So it was
Speaker 1: like for the customers like a win win. I can
Speaker 1: watch it on my phone or my Apple TV, my
Speaker 1: Roku whenever I want. It's only it was at the time,
Speaker 1: it was only you know, and it's like having access
Speaker 1: to that content, it was just like, oh great, like
Speaker 1: let me, let me subscribe and and stick with this
Speaker 1: this platform. And so for me, folks started coming over
Speaker 1: and then ray g and Princess, they saw Michael come
Speaker 1: over to the network. It was Omarion and then we
Speaker 1: had Hazey Mesica and who else. I don't know a
Speaker 1: one in Lyrica. There was a lot of folks kind
Speaker 1: of inquiring to be a part with either a particular
Speaker 1: show or their own series. And I think that it
Speaker 1: wasn't just v H one, it was other networks too. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, what are we gonna say no? I mean,
Speaker 1: if we think it's a good show, we're gonna do it,
Speaker 1: you know. And so we like we we put out
Speaker 1: the content and it just it just resignated with a
Speaker 1: large group of people and Zeus continued to really scale
Speaker 1: and grow and so it's is doing really well. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah that I've been they have. They have
Speaker 1: definitely called and reached out. They've sent cease and desist letters. Um,
Speaker 1: they have threatened like certain things like yeah, I've talked
Speaker 1: to the highest level at Viacom. Um, you know, I've
Speaker 1: heard that there's been people and the team it's like
Speaker 1: been saying what you said, it down, take them down,
Speaker 1: and take them down. I think they were just like
Speaker 1: you know, they were saying, like when there was a
Speaker 1: week basically, look, we feel like they're they are a
Speaker 1: threat there and they're coming after our our They're treading
Speaker 1: they call it their space. It's not their space, it's
Speaker 1: their talent. Like they like it's like it's like it's
Speaker 1: like I don't want to say like my my, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna It's like I understand how the business works, right,
Speaker 1: which is why I launched my network. I kind know,
Speaker 1: I didn't intend to be a disruptor. I'm cool with
Speaker 1: being an extender, not a disruptor. So for me, it
Speaker 1: was more so like I'm gonna launch a platform. People
Speaker 1: want to, you know, work with me. Collaborate. Cool, let's
Speaker 1: do it. I'm all about it. And h one wants
Speaker 1: to collaborate, partner and whoever. I like, you know, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's make some things happen. Um. And that's still
Speaker 1: my mentality. Uh you know. So for me, when they
Speaker 1: were saying that, it was like I think they just
Speaker 1: felt really threatened, like, yeah, you're working with our You're
Speaker 1: you're working with our talent that we basically own or
Speaker 1: have exclusive rights to, which I don't. I'm not familiar
Speaker 1: with their deals. I don't have their deals, right, so
Speaker 1: we do our due diligence. So if people are coming
Speaker 1: to me and saying they're free to do certain business,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna embrace it. So you know, you can't come
Speaker 1: after me. You gotta go after them. It's not my issue.
Speaker 1: So if they're in breach, if they're inbreached them, I'm
Speaker 1: not in breach. I don't have a deal with Viacom, right,
Speaker 1: I don't have a deal with these networks. So for me,
Speaker 1: it's it's not what they called at the time tortures,
Speaker 1: and none of that stuff exists. So for me, it's
Speaker 1: just it's it's tortures interference, which is what they called him.
Speaker 1: What's up, mother Sucks? This is your African king up
Speaker 1: comedy Michael Blackson. I'm here to ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Oh you subscribe to my podcast, The mother Suck A
Speaker 1: Podcast with Me Michael Blackson. If not, you are missing
Speaker 1: out on the crazy interviews. They're exclusive behind the scenes
Speaker 1: content of my life and tons of celebrity guests. So
Speaker 1: listen up, mother sucker. Stop what you are doing right
Speaker 1: now and go find The mother Suck A Podcast with
Speaker 1: Me Michael blacks I heart Radio, Apple, Apple Podcast or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcast. Subscribe it's free, So go
Speaker 1: do it right now and don't forget to catch a
Speaker 1: new episode every Tuesday. And for me, it was just
Speaker 1: like it was. It was kind of ridiculous, but you know,
Speaker 1: I just kept moving forward. I haven't heard from him since,
Speaker 1: but you know I didn't have to. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: saw Johnson had been free for I feel like the
Speaker 1: industry devalues a lot of people when when you need them,
Speaker 1: you need them for just a moment, then you chew
Speaker 1: them up and spit them out and they don't work
Speaker 1: with you. And so I I I said, look, Johnson
Speaker 1: is a free agent right now, right she's not doing
Speaker 1: any other projects, she's not working with anybody. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a green lighted show with her. She's great. You know, Uh,
Speaker 1: this person is going around pitching show, is trying to
Speaker 1: get a show off the ground. I'm gonna educate you
Speaker 1: on how it works and say, hey, let's rock, let's
Speaker 1: work together. So for me, I'm I'm taking a completely
Speaker 1: different approach. They're making it difficult for people to have
Speaker 1: projects or to have like most most of the talent
Speaker 1: have no ownership in the shows. They don't get executive
Speaker 1: producer credits. They don't have creative control. You know, they're
Speaker 1: just on screen. They do a job for X amount
Speaker 1: of time and then they're done right and and the
Speaker 1: sad thing is you don't really realize how much money
Speaker 1: these people are making. Right, the networks make they're making.
Speaker 1: I mean, their budgets every year are hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars right to produce original content, hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. So the Comcast of the world, right, the Comcast,
Speaker 1: the A T and T S the or the the
Speaker 1: what we call the cable and satellite providers directive you dish,
Speaker 1: they pay these networks right, so they pay the v
Speaker 1: H one'es. They pay all these guys to carry their networks,
Speaker 1: so that's their first revenue stream, and then they make
Speaker 1: money off of advertisers. Right. They don't share in any
Speaker 1: of those fees with the talent and even the production companies.
Speaker 1: So they generate all of that revenue, right, whether they're
Speaker 1: profitable or not, that's not our business. They're making all
Speaker 1: that money, right, and so you don't see a piece
Speaker 1: of it, but what you're doing. In my opinion, when
Speaker 1: I look at a talent, when I look at somebody
Speaker 1: that's very creative, I see value in it and I
Speaker 1: see like, okay, look, I'm not gonna screw you over.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just give you a talent fee and
Speaker 1: say thanks. I'm gonna say, hey, let's share in the
Speaker 1: let's sharing the profit, let's share in the revenue. Let's
Speaker 1: let's really give you the proper credits that you deserve.
Speaker 1: Let's really make some things happen. And so it's no
Speaker 1: secrets for me. I'm very transparent, candid with our business
Speaker 1: like it's and that's why people work with us. They
Speaker 1: don't do that with traditional networks. They're traditional. I'm non traditional.
Speaker 1: So I think people are are excited to work with
Speaker 1: me and Zeus because they're not only getting uh you know, uh,
Speaker 1: they're not only getting educated, but they're getting opportunities that
Speaker 1: they would never get anywhere else. The exposure, right, And
Speaker 1: so for me, that's important. I see value. Let's take Michael,
Speaker 1: You're you're bringing all this. So think about the logic
Speaker 1: in it. Right, If you're a talent and you're creative,
Speaker 1: and you're and you're generating all these eyeballs for people
Speaker 1: to watch a specific show. That's that's the bottom line, right,
Speaker 1: That's how they make their money. Right, It's all about viewership. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you're the person or if you're on an
Speaker 1: ensemble cast, right, and you're and you're bringing those eyeballs,
Speaker 1: why shouldn't you be a part of that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And so for me, I don't that.
Speaker 1: That just didn't sit well with me. It was very
Speaker 1: it was a very unsettling and feeling. And so I
Speaker 1: just said, I want to I want to change that.
Speaker 1: I want to change the process. I want to change
Speaker 1: you know, how people are used to doing things out
Speaker 1: here in Hollywood, And I really want to put the
Speaker 1: power in the hands of the content creators and you know,
Speaker 1: the talent and and and we collaborate and we call
Speaker 1: you actually partners. And so yeah, man, this guy is
Speaker 1: the nicest man in the world. That's good, especially publish.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I want to know, I want,
Speaker 1: I want Darrell the chime and to just give your
Speaker 1: But it happens to a lot of the black talent.
Speaker 1: Black talent gets it even worse. Yeah, we're going to
Speaker 1: the I mean, I mean, I've been a talent manager,
Speaker 1: you know, ten fifteen years, and from my perspective, anytime
Speaker 1: you can allow a talent to capture more to value
Speaker 1: in the marketplaces, it better. It works like you know,
Speaker 1: these networks are paying you pennies and then you know
Speaker 1: to next and on your your efforts, right because they're
Speaker 1: not accessing you know, the a people can hear us
Speaker 1: and the they're not right, they're not you're not access
Speaker 1: the advertisement, the product placement, any other ancillary revenues that's
Speaker 1: coming in. You're just getting the check, you know. And
Speaker 1: what he did was brilliant. You you you made them
Speaker 1: micro equity partners in their projects, right and you you
Speaker 1: let them you know, live along, um, I mean make money.
Speaker 1: Along the life cycle, the full life cycle of the
Speaker 1: intellectual property, which is just brilliant. So for me, any
Speaker 1: talent manager or talent and with any type of understanding
Speaker 1: of um, the entertainment business should be clamoring to get
Speaker 1: the zoos and figuring out ways to create projects, you know,
Speaker 1: so they can have equity in their stuff, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's to me, that's just that's what really makes
Speaker 1: this thing special, like putting that power back into the
Speaker 1: artist's hand. Wow, zoos network everyone everyone unsubscribed netflace. I
Speaker 1: know they happen. I know you guys have places to
Speaker 1: go that. I'll talk a little bit about Hollywood getting
Speaker 1: feeling like Hollywood is like Donnie, damn, what do you
Speaker 1: wish you feel on the Hollywood? You know what? Definitely changing.
Speaker 1: He's going through a major transition period. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, music, television, film. I mean we're seeing it
Speaker 1: before our eyes, you know. UM. I think it from
Speaker 1: my opinion, when it comes to television and movies, he
Speaker 1: could probably speak more so to mute the music business.
Speaker 1: Um and can I get another refill turn up? I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Hollywood. Um. But but for me, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're in a different day and age. Right.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's a lot that I can say about this,
Speaker 1: but I'll try to be as quick as quick as
Speaker 1: I can. But I'll say it started with like Netflix. Right.
Speaker 1: Netflix was a platform that disrupted everything. I would say
Speaker 1: two things, social media and Netflix and sure, sure, but
Speaker 1: but i'll say thank you. I'll say as far as
Speaker 1: uh uh Netflix, right, let's start with them. They had
Speaker 1: this philosophy. It was all about convenience, choice and control. Right.
Speaker 1: There are twenty plus year old business people don't really
Speaker 1: realized that they've been around for twenty plus years, right,
Speaker 1: And so their model was all about how do we
Speaker 1: make it convenient for customers where they can choose whatever
Speaker 1: they want at their control. And so that was there,
Speaker 1: kind of like philosophy, right, and so they did it.
Speaker 1: They started mailing DVDs when you had to go and
Speaker 1: get in the car, start your car, drive to a place,
Speaker 1: look around, then drive back home, then bring it back.
Speaker 1: Blockbuster was very successful. Netflix said, go to our website,
Speaker 1: sign up, will mail you the DVD. Right, you don't
Speaker 1: even have to get up. So so so they were
Speaker 1: mailing you DVDs. That was the first and yeah, and
Speaker 1: then they had your credit card on file, so if
Speaker 1: you chose to keep the DVD, they just take your money.
Speaker 1: But nobody ever reached the privacy policies and things like that,
Speaker 1: so you're just like whatever, right, So so they did
Speaker 1: that and they were successful, and ultimately they grew, and
Speaker 1: then technology and evolved in advance. They were on computers
Speaker 1: and you can go on your web, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: device you had. And then ultimately where people Hollywood started
Speaker 1: recognizing Netflix was when you know, they started putting out
Speaker 1: original programming. It was House of Cards and it was Oranges,
Speaker 1: the New Blacks that well, I don't know if Dex
Speaker 1: was that was that was an effort, but it was
Speaker 1: House of Cards and it was House of Cards and
Speaker 1: uh and Orange. And so what happened was they disrupt,
Speaker 1: Like they finally announced how many subscribers they had, and
Speaker 1: it was like thirty five million subscribers right, paying like
Speaker 1: eight dollars and it was like two eighty million dollars
Speaker 1: a month. So when Netflix reported that, Hollywood was like, okay.
Speaker 1: And then they reported that you know, you can watch
Speaker 1: these shows on our platform, you know, it was like
Speaker 1: and then they changed the game because it was like
Speaker 1: the shows looked just as good, if not better than
Speaker 1: an HBO type of series. Right, it was very premium,
Speaker 1: and you had an a list talent, Kevin Spacey and
Speaker 1: all these other people and these shows. And then they
Speaker 1: changed it where they were like go binge watching watch
Speaker 1: all twin twelve episodes, right, And so everybody Hollywood was
Speaker 1: kind of scratching his head, like, hold on what just happened? Right?
Speaker 1: And then people started going and then it was it
Speaker 1: was word of mouth and people. So so Netflix continue
Speaker 1: to evolve. Right now, they have almost two hundred million
Speaker 1: subscribers right right now, they're bringing in billions of dollars
Speaker 1: a month in revenue, and so they have a ton
Speaker 1: of original programming that they're creating so they can keep
Speaker 1: and hold their subscribers and ultimately scale it. So that
Speaker 1: model changed the game for Hollywood. So that meant that
Speaker 1: people were less interested in going to the movies, they
Speaker 1: were less interested in watching traditional television because of that
Speaker 1: business model. And then you had on the other side
Speaker 1: social media. Right, you had all these influencers because technology
Speaker 1: evolved where they can shoot on their everything is on
Speaker 1: this phone, right, is an editing software program on here
Speaker 1: is a camera and you have distributions, you have distribution,
Speaker 1: you have editing, you distribution editing, and you have production
Speaker 1: right so on on this one device. So as this
Speaker 1: started to evolve and the platform was available, it just it,
Speaker 1: you know it. It took eyeballs off of traditional, you know,
Speaker 1: Hollywood ways of how you watch content. So the first choice,
Speaker 1: right that people choose nowadays of how to watch content
Speaker 1: is on their phone. They'll go to Instagram, They'll go
Speaker 1: to all these different social platforms that that will be
Speaker 1: the first place they watch. The second option would be
Speaker 1: any type of what we call v O D service
Speaker 1: video on demand, so that whether that's a VOD TI
Speaker 1: VOD or s VOD advertising video on demand that's like
Speaker 1: a YouTube. T VOT is more transactional video on demand,
Speaker 1: and then s VOT is like Netflix subscription based, So
Speaker 1: that's like the number two option. And then third was
Speaker 1: like cable TV. Fourth is like movies, and we see
Speaker 1: in front of our eyes, when is the last time
Speaker 1: you really go to a movie theater? Right? Nobody goes
Speaker 1: to the movies like they used to, unfortunately, and so
Speaker 1: it's almost becoming like this nostalgic kind of thing right
Speaker 1: right now, it's a wow the mute the movies, right,
Speaker 1: and so it's it's uh, it's it's it is what
Speaker 1: it is. But that's the day and age we live in.
Speaker 1: And now you have platforms like only fans and just again,
Speaker 1: eyeballs are going in all these different places now where
Speaker 1: people can watch content. So yes, Hollywood is changing significantly
Speaker 1: because of technology, because of the new platforms that are
Speaker 1: emerging and that are here, and because of how people
Speaker 1: can watch content. I don't know if you have anything
Speaker 1: you want to I think you said it. I think
Speaker 1: it's the greatest time in entertainment history. It's so many
Speaker 1: media outlets in so many ways to go directly to
Speaker 1: the consumer. So you don't need gatekeepers or intermediaries or middlemen,
Speaker 1: you know, to get to your audience or to build
Speaker 1: your audience audience base, and it's fifteen million ways to
Speaker 1: monetize once you build your audience based. So to me,
Speaker 1: I think it's a great time in media, music and
Speaker 1: television and music and television right. This is a time
Speaker 1: where artists can own their art, exploit their art on
Speaker 1: their terms, right, and get fair value for it. So
Speaker 1: I think it's great. Does that answer your question? What
Speaker 1: do you think why No, not definitely. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of people have moved out of Hollywood because you know,
Speaker 1: let's movie stuff going on, let's sitcom. People are not
Speaker 1: watching Scompass much anymore. People watching Netflix'm saying, well, that's Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's a whole different world. Somebody watching cb as an
Speaker 1: ABCNBC anymore. Nobody's TV is trash now, nobody's uh it's listen. Look,
Speaker 1: I would never say anything negative about I was a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities stemmed from appointment traditional TV. It's great.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's just at different times, different It's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, right there. Trying to hang on,
Speaker 1: right just like any business. I don't know how long
Speaker 1: this spot stuff is gonna last, but you hang on
Speaker 1: as long as you can, you know. And so that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing, and they will continue to do it now,
Speaker 1: I will say there they look at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, people are going to continue to pay, even
Speaker 1: if they don't watch it. They're going to continue to
Speaker 1: pay because people are programmed in their brains to pay
Speaker 1: for cable and WiFi, and because they bundled them together.
Speaker 1: You're gonna always pay, Comcast, You're gonna always pay. You're
Speaker 1: gonna pay direct TV, A T and T. You're gonna
Speaker 1: pay you know, all these different people because you've been
Speaker 1: programmed paid. But I think it's the average is like
Speaker 1: a hundred forty nine dollars a month. So that's like
Speaker 1: the end game. So so Comcast they're like the end game, right,
Speaker 1: Like like Netflix is great, but like Comcast, they own
Speaker 1: real estate in the air, right, frequencies in the air
Speaker 1: where you can beam certain signals, right to have access
Speaker 1: to your phone so you can watch your content. And
Speaker 1: that's all controlled by WiFi and four G, five G
Speaker 1: and they're gonna come out with six G all these
Speaker 1: different things so you can have faster internet, you know,
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So it's a whole business behind it,
Speaker 1: you know. That's kind of like the next phase for
Speaker 1: me after Zeus is uh, I want to own real
Speaker 1: estate in the air and I'm gonna have I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be a wireless provider. That's kind what are you gonna
