I wish y'all could see what 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm seeing, but I'm trying to describe it for y'all 169 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: because everything scalless, everything scanless, and the cheese melting totally works. Okay. 170 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: It's your steam bouncing off the plate into the skillet 171 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: and also the heat and as it goes up and down, 172 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna melt your cheese. Simple and it doesn't take over. 173 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: That was about twenty seconds. So you don't bring your 174 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: hand or anything. Yeah, we're ready. So how do you 175 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: go from selling candy? I understand you didn't get the 176 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: car to to to becoming chef? Oh show all flavor, 177 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: no Greece, like you gotta make two two of these? 178 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: You know that? Right? Is everything scaled? Okay? Um? So 179 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: boom candy game stop when I was actually went on 180 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: hiatus when I was in about the twelfth grade. After 181 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: twelfth grade, got out of school, I liked weed. We 182 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: were so intriguing to me. I started to sell weed. 183 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: So came the street pharmacists for a few years. So 184 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: we was intriguing because you liked how it's sold or 185 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: you liked how it felt. Both. Okay, so it's like 186 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: get your sack, get your money back, and then you're 187 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: getting high for free base. But I got tired of 188 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: that because I didn't see like, you know, four or 189 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: one K and that after a while, so I'm like, 190 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: I have to do something that it's gonna give me 191 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: some money that time.

It's 219 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: simply amazing. I would I would buy this for breakfast. 220 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: I would I would pay like five six books for 221 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: this the whole combination of flavor. It's like all flavor. 222 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: It's really delicious. And for all your listeners when you 223 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: listen to the podcast in the morning, I suggest you 224 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: make this scandless sandwich. Yeah, that's what I like to hear, 225 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: everything scanless. That and its meal isn't expensive at all. 226 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: So how do you transition from a street pharmacists to 227 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: all flavor and no grace? God expelled? Actually, actually, um, 228 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: I prayed about it because I'm like, keep it real, 229 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm tired of this ship. I'm only selling weed to 230 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: get high, and that was starting to get irritating to 231 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: me because you're just selling it to get high where 232 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: you weren't making a profit barely. See, I think I 233 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: think that's so true. I don't think pharmacists on the 234 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: street really make that much for going for wheat. For oh, 235 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: for other drugs. I didn't say that, but for wheat. 236 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: Don't you fail me unless you're dumping enormous amount, like 237 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: on a very very very very very consistent basis. And 238 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: once I see that I wasn't gonna transition into that, 239 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: I said, okay, God, I need something better to do 240 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: straight up, So small still voice came to me and said, 241 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: do what you learned how to doing school? So I 242 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: laughed because I was fat, stanky, wearing hand me down 243 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: clothes and ship. I didn't really even like going to 244 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: school like that. The only reason why I like going 245 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: to school was for for a band, because I'm a 246 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: musician as well, and like I said, to make homies, 247 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: make friends and ship. So I was a very loquacious 248 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: and people person, so it wasn't hard to spark conversation 249 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: to be cool with somebody, but it was only gonna 250 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: last so long because it's like he's standing this closely 251 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: cool as ship, but he staked. So after I got 252 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: out of high school, because I did, I was musty, 253 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I was much bigger. It's like you gotta heavy.

Who has a big following that's coming 351 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: to support you. You can pop up out the blue. 352 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: You got like seven million followers, but she brought you 353 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: through that only guy like two hundred. But she's like 354 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: a girl. I want you to taste these tacos. You 355 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: come over, you lose your mind. The best tacos. Now 356 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: what you're doing? I just came to the East South 357 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: East Fire Tactos. Now the following just starts to grow 358 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: and grow and grow. So everything was really done organically, 359 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: but the grind you just took time. So how old 360 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: are you and this is all going on because it 361 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: seems like you're extreme level of youngness. I started ten 362 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: years ago, wow, ten years ago, and during your whole 363 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: journey it sounds like one one ft led to another. 364 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: But I'm sure there were points where it wasn't easy. 365 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: Like when you're talking expansion, I would have guessed because 366 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: your food typen. Now, you know right, It actually never 367 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: ever ever suspected that it was going to even go 368 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: this far. It was only wow, everything scounled you was 369 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: to play, but it never was suspected to go this far. 370 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: I always thought that the candy house and everything was 371 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: just finish cleaning up. No one ever cleans on this show. 372 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: But but I appreciate, but because I'm sorry, I just 373 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: had to shout that afterwards. I just I looked at 374 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: it as a small hustle. I just knew that I 375 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: was tired of, like I said, set a way and stuff, 376 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: and I knew that I wanted to do better. I 377 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: knew I wanted more, and I said, it's not gonna 378 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: think with me selling. So when I started to push 379 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: the line with the full open doors that I never 380 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: thought in life, interviews everything, and it made it even 381 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: better once the following reached past ten thousand and then 382 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: the interviews started coming from everywhere, The people start coming 383 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: from everywhere, and it's just been a like a little 384 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: engine that could going up the hill. Like he's catching 385 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: a little momentum. He's trying. He's not really going backwards, 386 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: but it's like he's struggling. But one thing the little 387 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: engine never could, thank you Lord. One thing he never 388 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: did was stopped. He never gave up, no matter how 389 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: much gas, no matter how much, but he just kept 390 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: going and ship. I did the same thing today, and 391 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: there were no points where there was like, I feel 392 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: like you're full of faith. But was there any point 393 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: where you were like, oh, this is a very uncomfortable 394 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: position or a type position you didn't know what to do? Hell, 395 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: yeah I was. I was setting away with my boy Busy, 396 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: the one who the manager on my food truck today. 397 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna show you how you respect the grind 398 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: boom while I was getting money with him.

Like 523 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: fast rewind my background, born and raised in church. I 524 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: wasn't even supposed to be born. My mom had sits 525 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: on her old reason. Everything she was prayed for by 526 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: the bishop. Then she going up about a couple of 527 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: months later to a prophilay that was at the church 528 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: that said, like, are you expecting the baby? She said, yes, 529 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: I am. She like, what do you want to have? 530 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: She said, a little girl? She said, I'm sorry to 531 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: tell you, but you're gonna have a little boy and 532 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: his name should be Samuel. And now he'll be a 533 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: prophet and now he'll prophet, signing all over the land 534 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: and telling good news. So my mama looked at her like, 535 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: you don't lost your mind, Like I'm only too much 536 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: pregn Now are you gonna tell me I'm gonna have 537 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: a little boy? To fast forward seven months later, she 538 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: end up having a little boy and naming me Samuel. 539 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: And it's like, by me having that type of background 540 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: and then the environment that I was hanging around, it 541 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: always was off balance because she's steady coming out, saw 542 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: before the street lights come on, Samuel coming to the house, 543 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the fuck, Like I do not 544 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: want to go in the house right now. It's just 545 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: now son going down, this cracking, more homies coming out. 546 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: But it's like, no, I didn't understand that. I just 547 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: thought you were being an overprotective hate and ask mother 548 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: all the time you've foreseen. Mom thinks what the mischief? 549 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: And BS was already about to turn into because you've 550 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: been around the block before. So now that I'm grown, 551 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's just different. Now. It's like I'm glad 552 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: that she was doing what she was doing because it 553 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: helped me now to where the majority of them people 554 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: even if they are still alive, are just you know, 555 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: father to the wayside a little bit. They don't inquired 556 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: about jobs and everything from me. Now, hm, wow, that's deep. 557 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: That's real. So sometimes for me personally, as I grow 558 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: or pursue my dreams, I've noticed there's a divide when 559 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: it comes to friendships. So you have the friends that 560 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: are down for you when you're down, like, hey, I 561 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: don't have any money. You know, here's an opportunity to 562 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: so we'd for instance. But then you also have those 563 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: friends that are down for you, but when you're up, 564 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: they kind of hate you. Have you experienced that all ship? Now? 565 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: Could never experience that? Really? While I was growing up, 566 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 1: I ain't had ship. Would you go, hey, don't. I 567 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: was always like the the the popular pond you play chess, Yeah, 568 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: well I'm not good at it, but you know the pieces, 569 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: I was like a popular pond. Why you say that, Keith, 570 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: Because it was like I was always strategic. I was pushed. 571 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: You'll think that he's going this way, and right before 572 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: you get to that square, he's already on this square 573 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: and it's a game for a couple more moves that's coming. 574 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: So it's like Sam got the gift for gab. Sam 575 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: is a people person, Sam Gonna make the people laugh, Sam, 576 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: Sam Sam, I was a common denominator. You feel me. However, 577 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: it was like I still kind of stood out like 578 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: the ugly duckling because like I said, I'm I'm a 579 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 1: big guy. Like I said, true, I mean, did you 580 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: mask it? Because you clearly thought way different than everybody 581 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: because I was scared to you even say something because 582 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: I was scared of your opinion of what you might think. 583 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: So I'll just bottle a game of ship game. So 584 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: now that you're successful, have you experienced the people that 585 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: actually hate your success from your own community up? The 586 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: ones that I don't let me well, sort of kind 587 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: of because the ones that used to be in the 588 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: neighborhood they moved away now, so it's like I don't 589 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: really have to deal with that no more. And like 590 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: I said, a few people that passed away, the ones 591 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: I used to say the little slander and jokes and 592 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: ship like that. So it's like it's kind of different now, 593 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: especially by me being on a pedal stool and their 594 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: eyes it's like they just approached me different. Just the 595 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: conversation is different. It's like this is just different now. 596 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: So future wise, like where do you see the future 597 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: for all flavor no Greece going to the town No 598 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: but excuse me, future for all flavor no Greece, I 599 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: see a break and mortar restaurant, hopefully and perfectly over 600 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: by the new so far around stadium.

It's so crazy 656 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: because just slightly off subject. I was just telling one 657 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: of my colleagues lead just yesterday, I said, bro, I said, 658 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 1: even during the pandemic, during every step of the way. 659 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: I said. We ain't asked for nothing. I said, we 660 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: haven't gotten out a grant, loan, nothing, not a nothing, legal, nothing. 661 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: But you didn't try to get PvP. We tried to 662 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: about everything the right way. It didn't get approved. I 663 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: don't know why it didn't question it. The only thing 664 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: we did was stayed down, devoted and worked hard and 665 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: still doing it till today. So I told him, I said, bro, 666 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: we haven't even reaped our harvests the blessings yet, as 667 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: far as just donations and gifts and people just saying here, 668 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: I feel you deserved this because we just saw in 669 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: the field going hard and working hard. I said, so 670 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: long as we keep doing that, I said, we got 671 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: a harvest to reap sooner than later. Yeah. And then 672 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: how did COVID COVID nineteen affected my business and a 673 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: peculiar way. And the reason why I say that is 674 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: because the dining did stop. However, we're food trap, so 675 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: it was to go food Now that was a perk 676 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: because a lot of people were He's trying to, like 677 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: I said, going to the a lot of two goo spots, 678 00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: and um, the food truck industry is actually overseat curated, right, 679 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: now with a different type of just genre food from 680 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: different angles, and a lot of people is not serious 681 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: about the whole entrepreneurial hustle within itself, and a lot 682 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: of people looking at it like, all right, let me 683 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: just go make some breayer real quick. I know I 684 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: could cook, or I feel like I could. My unset 685 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: I could. Let me go try to do this, and 686 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 1: then it's like you fall off in three to six months, 687 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: and it's like you don't waste the time. The food 688 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: truck industry is kind of expensive too, so if you're 689 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: half asking it or you're not really passionate about what 690 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: you're doing, and you're looking at it from a money perspective, 691 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose just the truck alone. And I won't 692 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 1: say no numbers activists, but just the food truck alone. 693 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: Into the commissaries, the place where you park your food 694 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: truck five thousand, that's no home monthly, so you guys 695 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: don't even have a rent or you know, you're just 696 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: parking it for the night. And I would assume you 697 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: get to dump your grace. Yes, yes, you get the 698 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: dump everything like waste, you get three field water, you 699 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: get ice, and like I said, it's a proper storage, 700 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: but just for your truck re lease unless you own 701 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: the truck. I know your truck, which means I'm paid 702 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: over a hundred eighty thousand for it, which I highly 703 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of people in the industry is doing. 704 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: Right now. You're leasing it, and like I said, you're 705 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: paying your your commissary for a five grand plus your 706 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: lease fee. No, no, no, no, your commissary fee is 707 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: a thousand. Your truck will be about four thousand. So 708 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: that's why I said five grandom up for that. And 709 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: that's just like I said, that's just for your business. 710 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: That's not talking about food. Come on, and food has 711 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: an expiration date, so if those people don't eat, it 712 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: is also upon inflation right now. Bad. That's why when 713 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: I go to McDonald's just like fifteen, I'm that was 714 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: a question, and I'm right, you're absolutely crecing for yourself. Yeah, 715 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: you're not even sharing with nobody. Yeah wow, so somebody 716 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: really adapting and then trying to stay relevant. Feel But 717 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: now with the food truck industry, do you deal with 718 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: like cash flow issues? The food truck industry goal low 719 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: key crack inevitably, because not only is it new to 720 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: the culture, but it's a variety of food going on. 721 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: So it's really just based on the type of product 722 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: that you're presenting to the economy. If they're feeling you, 723 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: they're feeling your product, then that's a given cash flow 724 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: is going to happen. But if they're not, then it's 725 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: not yeah, then you then you end up that's where 726 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: you end up shutting down. I guess correct for those 727 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: people that do. Because it's a hype and a peak. 728 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: It's like a skyrocket. See what you need a cake? 729 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: You know what the cake is for fireworks? All I 730 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: thought about was like a seven layer chocolate cake. A 731 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: cake is actually like a box and he lighted one 732 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: time and it has a numerous amount of shots on there. 733 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: You feel me a lot of people getting in the 734 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: food truck, even the whole culinary industry from restaurants, pop ups, 735 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: food trucks. They're doing like a skyrocket. They go up 736 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: pal and then the stick just falls down. You want 737 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: to be like a cake that don't stop, or like 738 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: a switchboard that Disneyland loose. You light it one time 739 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: and it's cracking boom boom boom, boom boom boom. You 740 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: keep the momentum going. But if you're dishing your work ethic, 741 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: it's only work for Skyrocket and you getting into the 742 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: big league with the switchboards in the in the cakes, 743 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: it's like and up for us bro, you're winning the way. 744 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: When I talked to a lot of the entrepreneurs in 745 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, the black entrepreneurs, I feel like there's a 746 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: level of lovel and you you unity amongst you guys, Um, 747 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: what do you where do you think that comes from? Her? Like? 748 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: How does that happen? Because I do notice that you 749 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: guys all support each other, all right, could be misled. 750 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: Maybe for the most part everybody does. But on the 751 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: black side, yeah, for the most part, everybody does. But 752 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, even certain black people find a reason, hey 753 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: on something for some reason, just in their DNA. However, 754 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: it was never really a problem for me because, like 755 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: I said, my whole mission from the gate was to 756 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: make friends and food. Yeah you feel me? That was 757 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: like low key my mission statement, bringing unity to the 758 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: community through food. So I never had a problem on 759 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: to Curly Joe, Tom and Harry. But everybody's not a 760 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: people person like me. So a lot of people get 761 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: information and say, like, all right, I'm looking at him 762 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: do that all that's simple, that's easy. Let me go 763 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: try Yeah, and they go try it, and then I 764 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: actually cracked for the first month. Yeah, but it's like, 765 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 1: where's Joe. You need some some substance, Like you're like, 766 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: what you're gonna go to keep you going? I feel 767 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: like passion plays a huge role, Like if you get 768 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: into anything you're doing for money, it's just short lived. 769 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: I agree for the simple fact. My passion is food. 770 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: My passion is the people. If you keep the people, 771 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: you cook so damn good trip this keep the people 772 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: happy through the food, you won't.

That's like keep them coming back, Like 775 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm the fisherman of men with that, but I'm fishing 776 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: for the men and women with the food. That's my bait. 777 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: That was a good one. This is the bait. And wow, 778 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: and I'm rilling a man with just me being meat. 779 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: So when you being you, I know there's a tour 780 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: going on, you're coming up, Can you tell us where 781 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 1: we can find you and bump into you?
