Speaker 2: about to make the best dish ever.

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure there's only vegan butter back then.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: I guess we got to deal with it because judging

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 2: me on my meal without my ingredients. But it's cool.

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: I love when people say you forgot an ingredient. That

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: would be funny if that ingredient was on the list.

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Because it was. It was like four. But it's called noodles.

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: Oh, it's that's what it's called. I was like, man,

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: we got down. I mean, it's called top ramen, but

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: this was like the thing to eat before. You know,

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,120

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: Now, oh yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Is that real butter or vegan butter? You didn't even look.

35
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: It's the one out of the whatever. Let's let's she said,

Speaker 2: guess we're.

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: Gonna we're gonna find out if it's vegan or not.

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure doesn't matter to taste good. So yeah,

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: before a ramen place was hot. I feel like we

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: were eating udles and noodles. We made ramen hot. We

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: made everybody talk about, oh my gosh, bring it back

49
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: from China and do it here in America because they

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: heard about how we did it in the DMV.

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna figure out if you're really, really were broke

52
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: by answer, if you could answer this one question correctly,

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: do you go out and buy.

54
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: Ramen at a restaurant.

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: Back then? Over now?

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Now?

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: Well?

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Have you yeah? Okay? I mean yeah, yeah, you made

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: it to the other side.

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: You made it to the other side. I mean, but

61
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: I made it to.

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: The other side when you could literally do that.

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: You could make this in your kitchen for a dollar,

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: and you're gonna go to a restaurant spend twenty dollars

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: on some wrong.

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: But there's a difference. There's there's a difference like, oh,

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: like you got the ramen spots now and the loose goods.

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: We made it from scratch. It's is like we just

69
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: made the ramen from the dough and everything, and you

70
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: know they have how they say all this different stuff,

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: and it's like you see a lot of Asians back there,

72
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: So it makes it a little bit more official, so

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: and they add other things to it. No, Ramen is

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: a culture and udles and noodles was something that they

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: put in the grocery stores for us to get to

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: or top Ramen. Should I say, so, we can get

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: to it. But they've been doing this stuff. Ramen's Asian connection,

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: that's an Asian pirsuave.

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: Well let's see, how are you gonna make this Ramen

80
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: all special?

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, you got a boil of water.

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: You got a slow boiler?

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: Do you have it on low? Is that why?

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: You? Sure?

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it on low?

86
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: He said, we have a slow boiler boiler, but he

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 3: didn't even put it on high.

88
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, readings fundamental. So yeah, so first you start

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: off boiling the water. Okay, Now you need yourself a

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: nice onion because I'm an onion man. You know, it

91
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: adds a certain level of extra spice.

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Where are you gonna add the onion into the water?

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's good, I'm about to get to it.

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Baby back, you know what I'm saying. Then it adds

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a crunch to it too,

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. You got now, you got

97
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: your your season seasons, You need black pepper. We don't

98
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: need to do salt. So you got salt. You didn't

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: forget that soy sauce. Just a look, and then you

100
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: got see what's the deal with the crystals the crystal

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: hot sauce. So see, I'm not really a hot sauce man.

102
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: I really don't like to do spice because it's too spicy.

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: It's not in my life. But Crystal's hot sauce is like,

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's like it gives you a little spicy,

105
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: but it's not. It's like kool aidives of hot sauce.

106
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: So I'm glad I learned that because I'm not a

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: big spicy person. But I was like googling where do

108
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: you get crystals hot sauce? And it said Walmart.

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: I said, yes, I.

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: Feel like hot sauce is not even spicy. I I

111
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: feel like it's the flavor of chili pepper, Like it's

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: just not spicy. And I don't do spice at all. Yeah,

113
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: it's the only one that I've let you know.

114
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad I didn't try to cheat you and just

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: put whatever in the kitchen, because then I.

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,320

124
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: Is the yolk all super hard in the middle?

125
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: You know how?

126
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: I know because me and this other girl was cleaning

Speaker 3: the studio yesterday and the girl said to me, how

128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,200

Speaker 1: They gotta be solid.

134
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I do prefer the yolk

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,160

Speaker 2: when you get your vegetables, do you rense them? You do?

159
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: But not an onion?

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, what's the difference with an onion?

161
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: It's got layers. You could literally cut it off. But

162
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, I want to watch this.

163
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well I'll cut while you while you question there.

164
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: I have never in my life, and I hope, I

165
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: hope this is a real thing that all people do.

166
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 1: Is but I've never washed an onion ever.

167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Now, normally I wash an onion with the sink. But

168
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna make it work with this. Now we don't exactly,

169
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: we don't need a whole onionod it's a nice knife job, sponsor.

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you cut the onion. Now. This is

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: still a lot of onion. But there's two people.

172
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: Now.

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: I do have a rule, but I'll trust myself nor

174
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: because I see you got two packs there. The rule

175
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: to top Ramen is one pack per pot. There's something

176
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: about quantity in quality. For some reason, most times you

177
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: can't make more than one pack, and it just tastes

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: just as good. But you know I'm trusting, So just no.

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: Normally when you do this, use one pack.

180
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: So what if you have like someone over, you gotta

181
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: get another pot?

182
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: Wow?

183
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: Or wait?

184
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: I just so you know, I put double the water

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: for double the packs.

186
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, Okay, it's cool, it's cool. So yeah, what

187
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna peel this onion off

188
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: a little bit, you know what I'm saying, because you

189
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: got all this extra stuff coming. See you see that?

190
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Look it up?

191
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that clean little layer.

192
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: Is it clean? Though?

193
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: But that's the thing you're pulling off, the bare minimum.

194
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: I pull off that second, lady, But.

195
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: That's taking off meat, meat off the.

196
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: Broke brokeness right now, I'm respecting.

197
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: You know, is a woman taking off her ass, cheeks

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: and the panties, all right? You know what I'm You

199
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: see a little all your stuff on it? Okay, cool,

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: it's a little little layer. Yeah, I would prefer not

201
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: to have all the extra hair, hairy skin. Yeah, that's

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: a layer that we could take off.

203
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

204
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a little bit too much panties. That's

205
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: the actually layer of panty right there, you know. All right,

206
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: so we do that? Okay, cool?

207
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Let me know why you name it shows? What's your

208
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: name it?

209

Speaker 2: Right? So now look at that. Now we're ready.

210
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna wash it.

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: We went through the little rints. I only looking fresh

212
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: and ready to be.

213
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: That was like a dip. That was like a baptism

214
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: of the onion. But okay, I got it less.

215
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: Now you're ready to just like you can bite this

216
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: right now?

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: No thanks, okay, cool? Would you ever eat an onion?

218
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: Wrong? You pay me some money? Okay, it's probably torture. Torture, torture,

219
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: all right, okay, cool, So I'm gonna cut this onion up.

220
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Are you excited.

221
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

222
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: I'm also curious what was going on at the time

223
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: when you were making an onion Ramen.

224
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: So at the time when I was doing it first

225
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: started when we discovered it, Yeah, because you know, I

226
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: was talking to some of these Asian cats and I

227
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, we're gonna do this for y'all.

228
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna make this hide in the streets. But I

229
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: was a young tender aro only living at home when

230
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: my parents Mommy and Daddy in the DMV District Heights.

231
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: I think it was probably Yeah, I made top Roman

232
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: all the way to the age of tender eighteen.

233
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Oh you stop making it?

234
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: Well, you know, once you move to la and you

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: get all helf conscious, a lot of this stuff goes

236
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: out the window.

237
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: So you haven't e in this in a while?

238
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: Well, don't judge me. Wow, that sounds like a lot

239
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: of judgment. So I haven't had top ramen. Yes, this,

240
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: I haven't made this. Probably this masterpiece graduated to other things,

241
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: but I probably haven't made this in about in fifteen years.

242
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: Really. Oh yeah, Oh, so are you gonna like nostalgia

243
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: right now?

244
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit, you know what I'm saying

245
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: I don't even eat like this. I don't even eat

246
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: carbas during the week, you know, really not trying to

247
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: be bully with it.

248
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 3: It's just how you know, when people transfer over to

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: la A start talking like any cars carrots, just.

250
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: Shout out didn't work. Somebody did that trick to you

251
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: a couple of times.

252
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: I have siblings, didn't even flinch.

253
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: I am dead over here.

254
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: You got so you haven't eaten this in fifteen years.

255
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: That's like a testament to like your success in la

256
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: having its footprint on you.

257
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Apparently.

258
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.

259
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: Eat like a regular person, like you know, I haven't

260
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: said so. The most I don't do is red meat,

261
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: and that's because LA I'm allergic.

262
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.

263
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: All right, So you're putting the onions in the water, got.

264
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: It freshly cut? You know you don't. You can cut

265
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: them how you want, as big as you want, as

266
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: small as you want, is how many you want. I'm

267
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: an onion lover, so you know I wouldn't use this

268
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: much for just myself, but I probably used about three.

269
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: Quarters of this just just hey, you ain't got to

270
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: put the whole thing in. Don't destroy the dish because

271
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: I will judge it.

272
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: You gotta eat it too. There's two people I know.

273
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know.

274
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: If it comes out all onion.

275
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: I like onions as long as they're cooked.

276
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like to cook them nice and soft. I

277
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: like to get them nice and soft and just just

278
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: the juice onion, juice in the water. I'm gonna put

279
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: this now in the hood. I'm not gonna say I'm

280
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: not from the hood, but I'm you know, I'm you

281
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: know than that. I wasn't rich, but we don't. We

282
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: normally didn't do this. But since it's here, speeds of

283
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: the process I heard, so we're gonna let that just

284
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: warm up and do his thing. The eggs are already boiled, so.

285
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: Do you peel and crack them up?

286
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, you know, let's peel them because what I

287
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: am going to do at some point I am going

288
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: to put them back in the pot. So you don't

289
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,320

00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: It's a really hard ball. Wow, you hit that, Jane.

292
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: That's crazy, you.

293
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: Know, I like, literally, let them boil me. And this

294
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: girl was just joking. I was like, yo, let them

295
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 3: boils for a while. We boil them yesterday and just

296
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280

00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 3: look I'm helping out.

298
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,520

00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: one handed.

300
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Look at her.

301
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: You know, if you boil it right, if it just

302
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: like slips right off.

303
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: That's good. Did you put any salt in the water

304
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: or nothing? You just threw them in the water. How

305
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,640

Speaker 1: I've been cooking. I cooked good.

307
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: Okay, But let's hear your story, missus. So did acting

308
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: come first or did comedy come first?

309
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: So a lot of people don't know because I am

310
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: known a lot more from my comedy. But I started

311
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: off as a dramatic actor for sure, got an NAACP

312
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: Theater Award. You know, you don't get that. I just

313
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: tell them all these jokes. You feel me. Idol was

314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: Denzel Washington, So I was mimicking a lot of Denzel

315
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: performances for sure. And then when I moved to LA

316
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: I started to get more into you know, comedy and

317
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: stand up and I met up with my boy Brandon Brody,

318
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: hilarious guy.

319
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: But wait, before we get into you doing comedy, what

320
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: was your first like, what was that first intro to acting?

321
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: Like?

322
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: What was that first gig, like, tell me like the

323
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: lead up to it, that first big break.

324
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my first.

325
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Doing this work for you?

326
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: I know, right, you better get it. So my first

327
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: acting gig man, I remember, actually my first acting in

328
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: general was an audition in high school and they said

329
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: do a cold reading for this audition and I didn't

330
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: really know what that was. That was my first time auditioning.

331
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: I think that was probably my first time auditioning ever.

332
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: And I didn't know what the cold for people don't

333
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: know what the cold reading is. You get the script

334
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: and you just got to go out there and you

335
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: have little time to memorize any lines. You go out

336
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: there and you just perform and act it out. You

337
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: can still have your script, but you just got to

338
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of like real time. Yeah, And for me that's

339
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: always been a little hard, Like even to this day,

340
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: I like to memorize my stuff because I don't want

341
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: to be trying to filter my thoughts and read at

342
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: the same time, because I don't want to look like

343
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm reading. So I didn't know, and he was. I

344
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: was like when I got on stage, I was like,

345
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: there's a director was like, all right, action, and I

346
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,239
Speaker 2: was like, well, I didn't have enough time to mimigize

347
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: my lines and he's like, what the like next? Just

348
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: yell next? While I was on stage. That was my

349
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: first experience.

350
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: You were in high school.

351
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: I was in high school. That's crazy. I wish I

352
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: knew who that dude was now so I'm like, yeah,

353
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: it's good, fam, Yeah remember you next me. But anyway,

354
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: and not holding graduatees, so as I progressed, I did

355
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: TV production in high school as well, and then I

356
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: didn't actually get my first speaking role or acting job

357
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: until I was I went to community college for like

358
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: a year PG community for like a year and a half,

359
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: and it's this play called Our Town or play how

360
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: We Knew the Milkman. It was I didn't have any lines.

361
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: And your family knew this whole time, and you knew

362
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 3: this whole time. That's what you wanted to do, yes, ma'am.

363
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: When did you know that you wanted to do it?

364
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: I think? And it was some time in high school,

365
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: like eleventh grade, near senior year, and they was like

366
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: you know that time when they're asking you what do

367
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: you want to do?

368
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? What college do you

369
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: want to go to?

370
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

371
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: What do you want to get?

372
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: A nine to five go to college.

373
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: The dreaming of it came like in middle school when

374
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: you see movies and like, oh, I want to do that.

375
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: I want to be a part of that. I want

376
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: to be in that world, but you don't really know

377
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: how to get into it. But around when twelfth grade

378
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: came to asked that question, I was like, yeah, it

379
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: was blurry, I really it was. I didn't it was

380
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: very far. I didn't have anything else I wanted to do,

381
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: but acting that's the only thing that stood out to me.

382
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: So after I graduated, I did Howard knew some in

383
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: our town, and you know, I had to be the

384
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: milkman in the place. But I do remember break. Before

385
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: I went on stage, I was thinking to myself, Oh,

386
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: it's the first time I ever acted. You know, you

387
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: had that moment. I was like, oh, wait, what what?

388
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: And then I went out there and did it. And

389
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: then after that I started pursuing acting. I got my

390
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: first manager, Linda Townsend and Maryland Uh. The same day

391
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: I got the call that I was getting signed for.

392
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: You worried about these I mean I heard smoke, no, no,

393
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: let me turn it down. That's you see, guys, bullet

394
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: you turn it down. You got a smoke detector.

395
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just pray it never goes off.

00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna turn it down a little bit, you know,

397
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: turn it down, turn it down to about a three.

398
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: This is a fairly fast process. So yeah, I got

399
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: a manager same day I got that call. Uh, I

400

Speaker 2: Cryme and they called me back and I said, oh snaps.

415
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: So I was background on the Wire was a big deal.

416
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: Why is legendary?

417
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

418
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: And I remember it on set and it's like I

419
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: was just like, oh snaps, Like I won set, you know,

420
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: and they having a little the guy. The thing that

421
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: shot up to me the most was the crafty people

422
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: don't know crafty and crafty is like the snacks and

423
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: stuff that they give to the actors. This lady came

424
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: out with cutting board with PB and J. No, this this,

425
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: this is what set it off for me because the

426
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: P B and J was it was it was on

427
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: potato bread, and from where I'm from, the upper echelon

428
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: of bread is potato bread. You make your PEPJ with

429
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: some potato bread. That's a new level of taste. And

430
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 2: the corners the crust was cut off. I'm oh, you know.

431
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: They had some tunic fish like that too, but I

432
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 2: was like, no, the people eja. So that was a

433
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: moment for me. So I said, I have to get

434
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: back on this show, you know. And I got on

435
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: the wire again, but it was background again, but it

436
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: was way further like a football field. I was like,

437
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: why y'all even need somebody back there, you know, But

438
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: that's just how it worked. So as I was getting

439
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: in the game with the management, I would go to

440
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: different auditions with the new manager and I ran into

441
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: he actually ended up being my future roommate in LA

442
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: one of my roommates, Dennis Hill, and he was like, yeah,

443
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: I take this workshop in Baltimore where they they filmed

444
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: in Baltimore. She's the casting assistant to the head casting

445
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: and on the show she said you should go. He

446
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: said you should go take it, you know, take her

447
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: class once a weekend or whatever. And I went to

00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: go take it. I drove all the way down. It

449
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: was a forty five minute drive from where I lived,

450
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: and you know, I took the class. And she always said,

451
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: you know, I can get you in the door, you

452
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: gotta do the rest. And she actually got me an audition. Yeah,

453
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: so it was actually when I went in there, it

454
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: was my boy Dnnist and my other roommate I would

455
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: see on auditions running around. He actually beat me out.

456
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: My boy Mitch, he beat me out for a row.

457
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: This time we both were going for a drug dealer

458

00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: don't feel that.

514
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: I would totally feel that. I don't feel exactly like, yeah,

515
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 3: that's how I feel, you know what I'm.

516
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: Saying, And so then I do, and it was this

517
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: was another moment, you know, because I had never acted

518
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: on like a show this level, like a professional, like

519
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: a network show.

520
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: And how many seasons in were they at that point?

521
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: Season five?

522
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you was really in it? You feeling the.

523
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: First episode you know? So well? I was. I wasn't

524
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 2: necessarily feel feeling myself. I was like just like more

525
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: so like, oh, all right, it's the beginning. So I

526
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 2: remember it was like a half a circle and it's Marlow,

527
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: the main character. I'm here drug dealer. I'm like this

528
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: drug dealer that's you know, small and pop shop on

529
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: the block, and he brings me in and I'm coming

530
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: and you should probably use this clip as I'm talking

531
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: about it on the show. Yeah, YouTube find it. I

532
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: had long little two string twist. I was, man, I

533
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: like little B two K extra member back then anyway,

534
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: so able to line up all these shaved down and

535
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: everything like O Mario on it was like anyway, So yeah,

536
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: I walk down and it's a half a circle and

537
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm talking straight tomorrow in my head, I'm like, oh, snaps,

538
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: because I have never been on a production this level.

539
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: So this other side, if to my right, my peripheral,

540
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: all I can see is like almost one hundred crew

541
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: members in equipment right there, and the reality, you know,

542
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: soaks into you, like, man, there's a lot of money

543
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: waiting on me to get these lines right, and you're

544
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: just thinking, like time is money, and they just looking

545
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: like all ain't in action, and you're like, so I

546
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: do my lines? I do. I do always deliver. I

547
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: definitely deliver. But it's like those moments. I've had a

548
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: few of those moments in my career throughout time where

549
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: it's like, man, you're here, you know. So that was

550
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: my first speaking role got me qualified for this, say Union,

551
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, and I was ready to move because before

552
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to move to l A.

553
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: So that one role got you qualified, yeah.

554
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: Because the way it works with the Union, you got

555
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: to have three, uh set three background roles vouchers on

556
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: a SAG project. I already had one. I had two

557
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: or one speaking role.

558
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: Or or one on AAG project on the same project.

559
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: On a SAG project, and that automatically got me qualified

560
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: for that. So but I was before that, I was

561
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: calling l A trying to get agents and the sack

562
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: was like no, and they would hang up with me

563
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: straight up. Just LA agents was just brutal. They still

564
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: are h But yeah, So now I was ready to

565
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: save up my money and move to l A.

566
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: From the wire, you were you able to do that?

567
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: Well? I was able to go to LA. Now I

568
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: spent a few more years saving up some money. And

569
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: I'll be real because all the money's gone now. Back then,

570
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: but I saved about fifty thousand dollars almost fifty thousand. Yep.

571
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: That's not the norm.

572
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: But how are you able to do that off acting?

573
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: Well? I actually had a nice government job driving government

574
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: officials around.

575
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: What kind of job was that?

576
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: Just driving government officials around? Like Better's top secret, They're

577
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: driving to the Pentagon, driving to the White House, Andrew's

578
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: Air Force base. He's making like twenty five dollars an hour, okay,

579
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: and then on overtime maybe almost thirty thousands.

580
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: So you were doing that in Maryland while pursuing acting. Yeah,

581
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: and you had your agent? Yeah, manager, manager, I mean,

582
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: and so you don't have an agent. You're doing this

583
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, then you finally say let's

584
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: go move on to La. Yeah, and now how hard

585
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: was it to quit that day job that was comfortable?

586
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: It was hard, but it wasn't hard because I had

587
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: already been. When you got a passion, you got a passion.

588
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: Plus I was young, and really young, like fresh out

589
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: of high school. So it's like I'm about to go.

590
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I had been, sus you didn't have that

591
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 3: much overhead, I would imagine too. No, I was living

592
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: with my parents even when you were doing the driving.

593
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't move out of my house until

594
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: I moved to California, three thousand miles away from Maryland.

595
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: That was my first time living anywhere else.

596
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: Wow, and your parents, you come from a two parent household?

597
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, luckily so, I mean not luckily, but fortunately. So

598
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: it's like a unicorn to be, you know, raised in

599
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: the house with two parents.

600
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah that's good. They're still married still rock

601
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah good good. You have a crazy good, good foundation.

602
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the pedigree.

603
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: So when they so when they when you moved, what

00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: cushion and you were.

607
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: They never shot I never really told my parents how

608
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: much I say that they knew I was making money.

609
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: I actually got my mom in that building too, she

610
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: still did making good old money. I got a few

611
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: people in there making money.

612
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: Actually it was a great place to be, into that

613
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: office to government building.

614
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, they knew I was always pursuing it. Like

615
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: I said in school, and I would take the Chinatown

616
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: bus from DC to New York just to take acting

617
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: classes and never been in New York, don't have any

618
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: family or whatever, so they kind of knew the energy

619
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: was there. It was always safer because I was still close. Yeah,

620
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: you know, it's different when you move across the country.

621
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: I was just talking about this today. My father, you know,

622
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: had tears when he saw me off to California and stuff.

623
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: He ain't really a crier. So you know my mom

624
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,680

Speaker 3: show is a ramen dish. So you are going up

681
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: against a really great Raman dish and it was another comic.

687
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: that have been on the show. We actually don't allow

688
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: people to make ramen really on the show. I just

689
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: didn't want to go.

690
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: Back because because because they're somebody had already did it, well,

691
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: we just don't.

692
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: We don't add Ramin unless someone has tweaked it to

693
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: a certain point. But not because I really wanted you

694
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 3: on the show, and I didn't want to push my

695
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: little envelope because when I called you, you were so busy.

696
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: You were like, I'm doing this, this, this is this,

697
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: and I was like, please, God, just just give me.

698
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: He's the victim now, Oh my god. You know I'm

699
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: not gonna give them if I changed the meal, turn tweet,

700
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: y'all see these guys. That's crazy.

701
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, So back to your story. You come to l A.

702
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: Your mom's not a crier, and what's the first play.

703
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: In LA You know, it's funny because I could have

704
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: used this other meal, but I felt like it wasn't.

705
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't. It was it's just too easy. But I

706
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: do remember, because you know, when you live with your

707
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: parents and your parents cooking for you and stuff, you

708
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: don't realize that that's a luxury until you get out

709
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: on your own. So I remember like getting to my apartment,

710
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: which now my boy Mitchell, he's the one who told me,

711
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: but I told you about it was beat. I beat

712
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: an audition he had already.

713
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to like make a snippet and just make

714
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: sure that we find Mitchell and just would just have

715
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 3: it on replay like a record.

716
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, Mitch, the one that I passed, the one

717
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: that I beat on the audition.

718
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he know what it is anyway. So but privately

719
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: to me moving out to LA, he was already out there,

720
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: so he was like, yo, we got another bit. We

721
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: had a full bed room apartment. You want to come

722
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: out here. I'm not ready yet. I need to save

723
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: up some more money. But he saved that room. So

724
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: I finally got to LA.

725
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: You didn't think forty five thousand was enough. You had

726
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: to hit the fifty thousand.

727
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: Man, okay, I respect it.

728
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: I respect it.

729
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: Okay, it's all gone down.

730
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: You and me likes that.

731
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah you. So I got there and I was like, man,

732
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: that's crazy. It's my first meal. I had a can

733
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: of ravioli, so lasagna came. I like that.

734
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: I used to love.

735
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. I still love raviol until

736
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: I had it on eating while broke, and I was like,

737
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 3: I can't believe I used to like this. I used

738
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: to love that stuff.

739
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: How'd you make it? Did you put anything in it?

740
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: I don't something.

741
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't think he did anything.

742
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: But it just if you tried some of those can

743
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm the I'm the person getting cooked

744
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 3: for Okay, I'm over here peeling eggs for you.

745
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Look at your egg. Your egg looked like someone attacked

746
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: it from the side.

747
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: Hey. Well anyway.

748
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

749
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 2: So I get to la and it's that realization moment, like, oh,

750
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm cooking for myself. Well, welcome to adulthood. So yeah,

751
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: I made that. You know, it was a good meal.

752
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: But it was like, oh man, I'm here. I just

753
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: officially made my first meal for myself.

754
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: Wow, your mom really took care of you.

755
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, but I made meals for myself at home too,

756
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: but it was like your first official on your own. Yeah,

757
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: it's like that feeling like if you don't cook tonight,

758
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: you ain't gonna eat and what you got, you know,

759
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: that was that moment, you know, and then from there

760
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: we went up. So that was so as I got

761
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: to LA, I got the grind on, I got more

762
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: head shots. I had cut my hair off to a

763
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: low cut, and I submitted all these head shots and

764
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: mass meling.

765
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Had help that you have roommates that were like pursuing

766
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: the same industry.

767
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: Yes, to know as far as knowledge of what we

768
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: should be doing, but you know, they can't help us

769
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: get in the room. Yeah. I remember my first experience.

770
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: I would literally go to some of these casts and

771
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: offices and drop it off just so I can know

772
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: that it made it. William Shagner Shackner, you know, Captain

773
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: Kirk star Trek. Yeah, yeah, are you sure?

774
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

775
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like yeah, so yeah he I remember I

776
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: saw him in an office. He was on the phone

777
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: having a little business and I'm thinking it had almost

778
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: a similar address as the casting office. I think it

779
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: was just connected. It was like one of those double addresses.

780
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: So I go on there and I opened the door

781
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: while he's on the phone, and I'm being respectful because

782
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk, so I signed language everything.

783
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, hit shots. I'm basically saying hit shots here,

784
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: and he was like, I was like, oh okay. So

785
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, the dropbox is probably you know, on

786
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: the side. So I'm walking walking and walking outside and

787
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: I walked to the ventur Boulevard and I look around

788
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 2: back and forth, and I was like, oh this mother.

789
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: He pointed me to the highway. I hit Captain Kirk. Now,

790
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: hold up my first, that's hilarious experience, Captain Kirk. Let

791
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: me check these.

792
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: I thought you really.

793
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 3: I thought he really pointed you in the right direction

794
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: the way you told it. Those are gonna be some

795
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 3: salt noodles.

796
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: Boy, you like him hard or so?

797
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: I like them kind of hard. When I was younger,

798
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: I like them soft.

799
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: Was you gonna leave it in for like a minute longer? Okay,

800
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: just to kind of I just wanted to break it

801
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: up a little bit. But it's actually still a little

802
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 2: hard in there for you. Okay, Okay, As a matter

803
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: of fact, let me just want these eggs while we're

804
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: in here, because you got these cold eggs. They supposed

805
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 2: to be fresh. You know what I'm saying.

806
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: Boom, that's how you put them in there?

807
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 2: Well, just I didn't.

808
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what to expect and where do you

809
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: put the butter? Okay, I'm gonna stay out the kitchen.

810
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 3: I want to hear this story.

811
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

812
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: So, so you're taking your you're taking control of the wheel.

813
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: You're over here pitching yourself to all these casting agencies.

814
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 3: What's the next big play?

815
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: So I started getting a couple of plays. Uh, screenwriter

816
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 2: don Bie Welch. He was really, you know, really hot

817
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: in the city, like long lines of auditions for actors

818
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: trying to get in this place. And I ended up

819
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: getting in an audition and booking a play. And I

820
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: started doing a couple of plays with him and building

821
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: up my name in the city and his productions, and

822
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: you know, I got me an agent as well out

823
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 2: here in La started auditioning and stuff. So I was

824
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: in the game, in the mix of everything.

825
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Did you need a day job during this whole thing

826
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: or were you just like doing savings?

827
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: Well no, actually I got my first job out here

828
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: at Ikea.

829
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: Oh, the way you let it up.

830
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: Okay, and I got fired from IKEA. I think I

831
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 2: was late or something whatever, but I ended up claiming unemployment.

832
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome. So then you were able to like

833
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 3: pursue your dreams for at least another year, right.

834
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: I ended up claiming in California and Virginia because I

835
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: was fresh. So and then the raid around Obama time too,

836
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: so he was passing all those nice checks. I was

837
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: getting like every other week now fifty dollars.

838
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I like.

839
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: I love you, Obama, we miss you. And rent was

840
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: only because it was cheaper than so rent. Rent was

841
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: only four hundred and sixty five each for us, and

842
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: my car was already paid off. I shipped it out here. Okay.

843
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 3: So you were doing okay, and you're just pursuing your dreams,

844
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: going staying focused. At what point do you decide you

845
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 3: want to get behind the wheel in production and writing

846
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: or does comedy come before that.

847
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to skip a milestone.

848
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: So comedy always came natural to me. It was in

849
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 2: my family. You know, a lot of my friends growing up.

850
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: I feel like any of my friends, if they got

851
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: serious about it, they could have been in this business

852
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: as well. But I remember I think I got called

853
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 2: to do something. When digital platforms start becoming any thing

854
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm a lower is just little. It started to become

855
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: a thing. Well, I am had started a digital company,

856
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: and this young lady was like, hey, how about you

857
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 2: right four characters up like in living color style, and

858
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: we can try to figure out how to shoot them.

859
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: They never happened. So I ended up saying, look, I'm

860
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: gonna shoot my own thing. And right around the time

861
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: when YouTube is becoming a thing and I'm gonna go.

862
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: And when I went home, I shot about two episodes,

863
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: two characters of it getting in Lester and I think

864
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: mister and missus s is something and I shot them

865
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 2: and that was the beginning of the Jahan jones Is Show,

866
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 2: which is kind of like Dave Chappelle meets him living

867
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 2: color type energy. And then I came back out here

868
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: and I shot all of the episodes. Grand Master Sugar like.

869
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: That, why do you say you came back out here?

870
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: Where'd you shoot it?

871
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: Because I was okay, I went back home. So one

872
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 2: of the times when I went home for the holidays,

873
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: I said, I'm gonnaknock this out because I had more

874
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: resources to my homeboy Adam. He shot ok, so you know,

875
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: I had just had more resources, and I think I

876
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: didn't even shoot at him. I think somebody else was

877
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: always facebooking me and like you shoot you know, you

878
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: shoot us. So somehow I got my hands with some

879
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 2: cameras and I shot those two episodes the beginning, and

880
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 2: then I came back to LA and finished about another

881
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: eight or six episodes. Grandmaster Sugar. He's a funny character.

882
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: I think I need to bring back, and a few

883
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 2: other characters, Juicy Larry to Jerry Carroll, a lot of stuff.

884
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: And I created that show and I put it out

885
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: and I ain't getting no views. That was my first time,

886
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 2: but I felt like it was crazy because it was

887
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 2: before like viral shit. So I would like Facebook everybody

888
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: and DM everybody on Twitter, and I got like a

889
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: thousand views. Oh my god, a thousand people saw my

890
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: video and that was a win for me. Yeah you

891
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: ready for me to for you up?

892
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,160

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, are you gonna put the butter in it?

896
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 2: She's hungry? Forget this project. I just I don't.

897
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see it. Yeah, I'm just trying to

898
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,200

00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna starve to death. It's gonna be mush noodles.

901
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: We don't need teeth for Jahan's noodles.

902
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't.

903
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: I assure you this.

904
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 3: They look like straight barely noodles. Could be mashed potatoes,

905
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: like eat.

906
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: Paper for noodles. It's cool. Yeah, that's her.

907
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,120

909
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: I just don't like noodles. I'm probably saying it wrong.

910
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: Let's just forget it because I'm probably saying it wrong.

911
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: What's it tastes like? Why didn't you like it?

912
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: It's just like that thicker noodle.

913
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah it was a softer heart.

914
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: Probably hard, but I like the ramen. I like the

915
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,280

946
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 2: I was a super hype So I was like, okay,

00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: let's add some butter for her, since you want to

948
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 2: be buttered in cholesteroled out. So I was like, man,

00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: how I'm much stand out because every black comic in

952
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: put on, So how do I stand out? So it

953
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: was like, okay, Vine, Remember.

954
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: I remember Vine. Vine helped a lot of people's careers

955
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: the first TikTok.

956
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: So basically I was like, man, there's an app called Vine,

957
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 2: and nobody is like paying attention, used a little bit

958
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: more better paying attention to this app, Like we're really

959
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: focused on these longer vert videos and this is the

960
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 2: fastest meaning of growing a meaning, means of growing a following,

961
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 2: and nobody's doing it. So I said, let me put

962
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: together a Vine group just for What the Funny, not

963
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 2: even taking care of myself, and we brought them from

964
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: like one hundred thousand to No. No. A thousand to

965
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand in less than six months.

966
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: A thousand to one hundred thousand on What the Funny,

967
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: on What the Funny's account, which was the Marlon Wayne's account, which.

968
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, which was his company. Now vine ended up

969
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 2: going down because all the big guys you know, said

970
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 2: they didn't want to do it anymore because they weren't

971
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: getting paid. So it's blackadd in black pepper guys. And

972
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: I knew all these guys too, you know. I remember

973
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: I did my first stand up show with uh Andrew

974
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: Bachelor aka King Batch, and I remember him hit calling

975
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: me up for his first million followers, like he would

976
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 2: invite me all the time to do vines. You're like, yeah,

977
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,880

978
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: I got like fifty million followers now. But I was like, man,

979
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm doing plays and I got awards and stuff in movies,

980
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: like you know, I had did a couple of crash

981
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 2: I was in this movie called Starving Games that was

982
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 2: in theaters that was a spooful on Hunger Games. So

983
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, there's this six second app this. Yeah.

984
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: Then I realized, like a year go by, I'm driving

985
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: party bus. It's part time only on the weekends. I'm like, man,

986
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 2: all my peers is quite a few people have gotten

987
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 2: famous in all these brand deals and almost millionaires in

988
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: a year, and here I am a year round and

989
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm still on this party bus. And I was like, man,

990
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: it ain't because like, these cats are more talented than me,

991
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: talented than me. They were just outworking me a lot. Yeah.

992
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 2: I was doing spoof and posted on YouTube once a week,

993
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 2: and these dudes were doing new videos, new content.

994
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: Yea, they were so I know that squad and they

995
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: are they were beasts. They would meet up on the weekends,

996
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 3: they would you know, figure out their whole strategy and

997
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 3: they would all get together and just tape every freaking day.

998
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: And back then, we couldn't save to a camera roll

999
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 2: until like maybe six months later, so you literally had

1000
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: to shoot your video six second video, edit it, and

1001
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: post it. So there was no like, oh, we're going

1002
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: to have a day like. So they were really working. Yeah,

1003
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: So I decided, hey, I'm about to get into it.

1004
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: But by that time I had start working with Russell

1005
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,479
Speaker 2: Simmons his company All Deaf Digital, And because the same

1006
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: young lady Ashley who got me at What the Funny,

1007
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: she started working with All def Dish and she said, hey,

1008
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: we're looking for creators over here, YadA YadA, And I

1009
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 2: almost made the same decision because I neglected my Vine

1010
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: account and only focused on what the Funny account, I'm

1011
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: adding this to a packet. Some people say you shouldn't

1012
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: this too, mussodium, don't add the whole packet, But you broke.

1013
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: You want all the season you can get, so you

1014
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: just add what's in the pack So just sticking to

1015
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: what it is I can get this guts you on

1016
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: your crystal.

1017
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 3: So you end up you almost make the same mistake

1018
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 3: that you did with what the Funny with Russell? But

1019
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: what what was the thing that said now, I'm not

1020
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: about to do this a second time.

1021
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: So they finally add more seconds fifteen seconds to Instagram.

1022
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and they will pull Instagram with smart because

1023
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: they were pulling all of the creators over from Instagram,

1024
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 2: I mean from Vine to Instagram. Oh we're gonna come

Speaker 2: over here, guys, and we're gonna get you more.

1026
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: And they needed it, they really, I mean the the

1027
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: the influencers needed.

1028
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they needed And it was the beginning of

1029
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 2: you know, it was the beginning of Instagram and you

1030
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 2: know Vine in the vine and vine Vine created what

1031
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: we call the influencer. Yeah, you had a couple of

1032
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: cats on YouTube doing their thing like the storm is

1033
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 2: doing his thing. Tim de La Ghetto was doing his

1034
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 2: thing a couple of guys.

1035
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: But who's wrong and you're going up against by the way.

1036
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 2: Tim, Yeah, that's so cheat. He's Asian. Yeah that's all

1037
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: they ate growing up, is that racis. But oh yeah,

1038
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: you can't you cool with my boy? So yeah, that

1039
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: was the situation with that. But I said, you know what, now,

1040
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna focus on myself.

1041
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 2: So I was about to put together an Instagram group

1042
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: for all that digital. I said, nah, I had did

1043
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: a few videos. I said, na, I'm gonna focus more.

1044
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: So I said, a video every day until I get

1045
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 2: a million followers. In less than a year, I got

1046
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: a million follows on Instagram. Yeah, and that's the way

1047
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: the history is made. That's when I my realm of

1048
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: social media came. I was like, I consider myself the

1049
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: second wave, you know what I mean of influencer. But

1050
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm also you know, I started off as an actor,

1051
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 2: so I have that background of that as well.

1052
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: And how are you handling putting out that much content?

1053
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: Man? Because at this point I just treated everything like

1054
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 2: a work system. I was able to you know, we

1055
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 2: could have camero save stuff. So I'll just have shooting days.

1056
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: So my day typically was every Thursday, I would get together,

1057
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: call some actors up and you know, meeting my boy

1058
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: Terrence aka Terrence Green aka Ross Swagger, meet up his

1059
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: apartment and we knock out three four videos a day

1060
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 2: and eventually we went up ended up going into my

1061
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 2: other boy house, Kenny. He had a whole house, and

1062
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: we just start shooting there. They start calling the sketch house.

1063
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: And man, these things will get big too. Man, you

1064
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: have like you know, because it's becoming thing, like people

1065
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 2: know we were shooting like, uh, soy sauce, don't add

1066
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 2: too much because this is very soft.

1067
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 3: It's so funny because watching you make this, like you

1068
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 3: look like you really know what you're doing, Like you

1069
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: you don't perfected this ramen.

1070
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: You don't want to add too much because you you know,

1071
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: you already got the SODI minutes. You just get a

1072
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 2: few dads. You know, we don't like salty food around here.

1073
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: You feel me family, So yeah, I started, Uh what

1074
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: was I saying?

1075
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 3: You start you end up at the house where you're

1076
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: starting banging out. I'm guessing a kazillion.

1128
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,560

1129
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 3: You put way too many onions.

1130
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 2: She worried about these these go to the box.

1131
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: You won't even see me to watch me small.

00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 2: Go to the bottle. You don't need it. Chew, you

00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: don't need a chew. Them soft the better.

1134
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, he's a salty. Give me the soy sauce.

1135
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll help you.

1136
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 2: You want some more sauce.

1137
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: He put so much uh rawm and seasoning in it, so.

1138
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 2: You're saying it salty.

1139
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: This is like mush.

1140
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: Look, I'm telling you you master egg in it. Oh,

1141
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: I ain't even try to take to try the egg.

1142
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 4: Try.

1143
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: But now, let me just tell you something. You wouldn't

1144
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: compete against nobody's drama.

1145
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me see, let me try to old.

1146
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,479
Speaker 2: Let me try this little egg that you try to cook.

1147
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 2: Not your head, No, that's your head.

1148
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just too much onion. It's been boiled

1149
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: too long.

1150
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,479
Speaker 2: Onions are the key guys. Onions a key life.

1151
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: There's a reason why you ain't had this dish in

1152
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: a long time. Hold on, my goodness, you have like

1153
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: a stroke from this dish.

1154
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 2: Stroke. You just added more soy sauce.

1155
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: You're adding more salt and so salty. I think I'm

1156
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: only going.

1157
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 3: In for more. Why'd you add soy saut the salty

1158
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 3: because I was hoping it would drawing out the salt.

1159
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: I didn't know soy sauce was that salty on its own.

1160
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: So guys, you try to just and y'all tell us

1161
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 2: in the comments. Is it is it? Is it not?

1162
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 2: Or is it?

1163
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. It would have been great if

1164
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: you added less of that seasoning packet.

1165
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 2: Really, there's so much noodle though? Does it does?

1166
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: Does it bring you back? Do you feel like you're

1167
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: reminiscent now?

1168
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 2: Kind of? Is it? M hm? I ain't gonna hold you.

1169
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 2: It's not that bad. Had a little bit more, God,

1170
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: but it's all preference. She likes your noodles like paper noodles.

1171
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 3: And it didn't have to be this soft like do

1172
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: you guys see me? Like I literally just put my

1173
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 3: tongue to the roof and just mashed it. I could

1174
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 3: have swallowed it.

1175
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: I don't like hard noodles because it feels like, oh am,

1176
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 2: I just eating cereal. If I eating it straight from

1177
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:01,959
Speaker 2: the pack, you know what I'm saying.

1178
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, if I went to your house for ramen,

1179
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: we were cooking two different parts.

1180
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: I would have to cook her as longer. See that's why.

1181
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 2: That's why you have to cook it single. I like

1182
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: Loki just because everybody has a different way of cooking

1183
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: their noodles. Though. Everybody has a different taste. Some like hard,

1184
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: some like sauce, some like the whole pack, some like

1185
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: half the pack. Somebody, you know, hot dogs in this stuff.

1186
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 3: Let me tell you how Tim did his He got

1187
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 3: this thing called Mama Ramen. So that's how he cheated.

1188
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 3: He had a different season. It was like a tie seasoning.

1189
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 3: He had a peanut butter to a ship, and that

1190
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: shit sounds disgusting when I say it was the best

1191
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 3: ramen of all.

1192
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: Time peanut butter, I promise you.

1193
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: With the tie with the tie ramen, I was like, hell, no, okay.

1194
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: Okay, because he's making seat that's peanuts songs.

1195
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: And they had it like corn and hot dogs.

1196
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 2: Do it what?

1197
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: And then he had like I think top chops scallions.

1198
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: It was down.

1199
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: You cannot compete with somebody that's Asian, I know. I

1200
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 2: was like, that's like saying, oh, you call me black person,

1201
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 2: make fried chicken and a bunch of a bunch of uh,

1202
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 2: you know.

1203
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: But I will say bone thugs in harmony. They added

1204
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 3: cheese to theirs, and I thought that was all of them.

1205
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: That's a cheat too, all four of the game, Army.

1206
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: Coming in lazy it was lazy bone, but it was

1207
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: like a spread ramen. It was delicious, all right, but.

1208
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 2: All of them it was you know what.

1209
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 3: It was just the fact that they added cheese that

1210
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 3: was different from me. I was like, damn, I never

1211
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 3: thought about that. It was pretty impressive. Have you ever

1212
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 3: added cheese to your ramen?

1213
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 2: Never too much, that's too much.

1214
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: It was pretty good, but yours is like, yo, you broke.

1215
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: You ain't got nothing in the account. You got like

1216
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: just ramen. You got a half onion in your fridge,

1217
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,479
Speaker 1: you got some eggs. Yeah that was George.

1218
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, if you add more crystals hot sauce

1219
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 3: to probably help it. Let's try, all right.

1220
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm glad you're here and you're

1221
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: spending time with me. And I've now discovered one of

1222
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: the worst ramins.

1223
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Ain't the worst. I'm I'm Bruce. Spruce it up again

1224
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: out there.

1225
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: You know what it is? You just over cooked it. Yeah.

1226
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna do that for her next time and.

1227
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: See what happens if I put a lot of hot

1228
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: sauce on it.

1229
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 2: It's not gonna change it because it's still soft noodles.

1230
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 2: But it's fine.

1231
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I could smell that house. That may

1232
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: have been too much.

1233
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Made a whole new dish. It's not even my recipe anymore,

1234
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: so go on.

1235
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, So back to your story when you hit that

1236
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 3: one point five, just to take it back, were you

1237
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 3: like low key like, what was that experience? Because I

1238
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: know I would have been hyped. I would have been

1239
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 3: hyped off like two hundred thousand.

1240
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it was. It was a ground. It was

1241
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: in a journey to get there.

1242
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: It was one of the videos. Did it really take off?

1243
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: Is that? What? I did have one video that went

1244
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: crazy that a lot of people was like, and it

1245
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 2: was before people were like going viral on Instagram. I

1246
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 2: think it's just up like a glitch because I but

1247
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 2: I gained like fifteen thousand and twenty thousand. No, I

1248
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: came like almost fifty thousand followers from that one video,

1249
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: and it was like, I don't know, it just went crazy,

1250
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 2: then it stopped, I don't.

1251
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Know, and then you had to just keep working until

1252
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: you got another.

1253
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, just grinding and posting and doing shoutouts.

1254
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Shoutouts back then like me and Haha Davis and Tonio Skins.

1255
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: We had like groups of cats. I remember Desi. We

01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: little bit after they came, like maybe they were probably as.

1260
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: They're also a different market because they're Atlanta market.

1261
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's still all the Internet. It's influencers Instagram,

1262
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:45,680

1270
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: it was all like just kind of only a few

1271
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 2: of us. You got Batch and everybody who was the godfathers,

1272
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: and then then that's a tight circle. Then they started

1273
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 2: expanding more so you had probably about ten of us

1274
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: as far as urban influencers that kind of all were

1275
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:25,960

01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 2: LA and jump in these videos. Especially all of them

1280
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,000

1284
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,720

1392
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 2: always it's as good a hint to them. I'm like, no,

1393
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 2: it's not. I think that drone was throwing him at

1394
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 2: the sound. He joed it one time and I felt

1395
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 2: like in between my thighs, I said, oh, this is

1396
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 2: a lot of power. I could die on. This is

1397
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 2: all It's pure muscle under my legs right now. If

1398
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 2: he decides to go crazy, I'm done. But he didn't.

1399
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 2: We got it. We got the video. It was out.

1400
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: It was magical, and I remember in the comments that

1401
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 2: everybody was like, dang, that's crazy. How'd you get that horse?

1402
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, I got one of the biggest comedians in

1403
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: the world to talk smack in my celebration video and

1404
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 2: all you guys can worry about is the horse, all right?

1405
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 2: You know? So yeah, that's how I celebrated it was

1406
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 2: it was a great mind. I do things big.

1407
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. I like that. So what was

1408
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: that big next big milestone for you?

1409
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 2: Shoot the big next milestone?

1410
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 3: Just so at this point, are you you're still acquiring

1411
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 3: like a huge YouTube following too, right?

1412
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh then I okay, So I said I wanted

1413
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 2: to do longer content, so I went over and created

1414
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 2: a show called You Hitting That on YouTube. That's when

1415
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 2: I returned back to I did a few videos before

1416
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 2: to kind of get the rhythm. So I never really

1417
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 2: put my old viral videos, which I've seen a lot

1418
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 2: of people posting my videos over the over the years

1419
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 2: because of music. I used a lot of music, and

1420
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 2: YouTube was always tripping about music and you can't monetize it.

1421
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: But I finally came back start doing more original content

1422
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 2: and I did the show and you know, me and

1423
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 2: my boy Dame Pierre, we created the show together and

1424
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 2: it went crazy. It went crazy. Fans love it. They

1425
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 2: still love it, and it's still a brand from it.

1426
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 2: It's called you hitting that. And I mean I think like,

1427
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 2: especially the first season, every episode man minimum had a million.

1428
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 3: Views, and what was those YouTube checks looking like? What

1429
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 3: was that first experience with that first check?

1430
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: That was great, that was actually marvelous, But it still

1431
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 2: wasn't as impactful as it could have been because YouTube

1432
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 2: had all these rules. Sometimes they got me for music.

1433
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 2: Sometimes it was like just a little bit too sexual

1434
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 2: energy for you, so it would not get the full

1435
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 2: glow of like monetizing if normally, if it's green, it

1436
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 2: means you're gonna get the maximum amount of money. If

1437
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: it's yellow, it's gonna be a little shaky. If it's red,

1438
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 2: you ain't getting nothing, you know. So I had a

1439
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: lot of yellows I had to learn. The second season

1440
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 2: got you know, I kind of could control a little

1441
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 2: bit more. But at that point I wasn't really worried

1442
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: about that. And then I start adding like more familiar

1443
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 2: faces and comics like Michael Collier. I even managed to

1444
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 2: get Lisa Ray the Great and a couple of episodes

1445
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 2: of the second season. Then I end up shooting a

1446
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 2: movie for it called You Married That that just got

1447
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 2: on All Black Streaming network. And I'm gonna do some

1448
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560
Speaker 2: more things with the movie. It's a fan base for it.

1449
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 2: Then another show and just building from that. And that

1450
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: is leading me now to getting ready to launch my

1451
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 2: own network. It's called the Judi Network. What. Yeah, It's

1452
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 2: time to take my power back and you know, go

1453
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 2: to the next time. Now, this is not an extended YouTube.

1454
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 2: This is actually I'm not going to be in everything.

1455
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 2: This is.

1456
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,520
Speaker 1: What you're saying network. When I think of networking Zeus.

1457
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 2: And yeah, well Zeus is great, love them making money,

1458
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 2: but not as aggressive yet. But the same people that

1459
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 2: built those platforms like Zeus built minds, oh built yours?

1460
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: Yes, So what is the headache for that next milestone?

1461
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 2: Money? I need money? So if any investors looking out.

1462
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: There, are you doing it currently with your own money

1463
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:43,799
Speaker 1: or have you raised some capital.

1464
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm going for broke, Robert Townson style, going for broke,

1465
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 2: just trusting myself, investing in myself and getting ready. I'm

1466
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: shooting already shot at third season of you Hitting That

1467
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 2: because that's a brand that.

1468
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: I know what I called you the other day, you

1469
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: were shooting a bunch. Where were you work on the drama? Well,

1470
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: I think I just got back from New York.

1471
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 2: I shot a Christmas movie for BT, so that's what

1472
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 2: I did, kind of like around the time you hit me.

1473
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 2: But I'm getting in production for the drama and and

1474
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 2: all this stuff with the stand up going. I just

1475
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 2: came from Arizona did to show off there, so it's

1476
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: a lot. But I'm back now back. I got a

1477
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 2: production call after this talking about that drama. So when

1478
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: you say that drama, it's a drama series. Is a

1479
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 2: drama series for for you? Or is it for the

1480
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Juda Network? But it's again, it's not like something I'm

1481
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 2: starting in. It's just something else and then be acquiring

1482
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 2: more content and just building up and put new series

1483
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 2: on there too.

1484
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: What's the name of the network, the Judah the Judah

1485
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Network jud H j u d a j u d ah.

1486
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. Get ready. As a matter of fact, you're looking.

1487
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: For a home, you know what I'm saying. You know,

1488
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: I was already thinking, you know, got a lot of.

1489
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Why not. You know you can break bread or noodle harder.

1490
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, as long as it's not Joe noodles.

1491
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 2: You want.

1492
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 3: Okay, So with everything you've experienced, what was like one

1493
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 3: of the like, what do you think is one of

1494
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 3: the secret ingredients for like your life?

1495
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 2: Distrusting in God man and you know, just sticking to it. Uh.

1496
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 2: And the number one thing I say uh to anybody

1497
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 2: getting into the business is consistency. It's just really that's

1498
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 2: the magic sauce, the magic ingredient, you know, to all

1499
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: this stuff. This is consistency. Even the lesser talented are

1500
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: able to make a name for themselves if they're consistent.

1501
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: That's why I see a lot of TikTokers or even

1502
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 2: back then winers that they are the biggest tons of people,

1503
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 2: but they were posting. So after a while people just

1504
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 2: kind of like buy into what they're doing. And even

1505
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 2: in that consistency, they get better because they're practicing. Yeah,

1506
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 2: so they are actually getting stronger because of the work

1507
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: that they put in.

1508
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 3: Now there's some people that feel like they are consistent.

1509
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 3: Would you say that there's like a milestone metric. I

1510
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 3: know in podcasting we talk all the time at the

1511
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:29,440
Speaker 3: black effect and I heeart, iHeart is a super Consistency

1512
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 3: is everything they give me. The talk of Colleen, you know,

1513
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 3: our top number one show has been around.

1514
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: For thirty years.

1515
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 3: But I know, like in podcasting, they'll say, like the

1516
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 3: magic numbers around the three hundred marks, three hundred episodes.

1517
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, three hundred episodes, Well.

1518
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's it. Podcasting is a different beast, though

1519
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 2: it's a lane of its kind of. I've come to

1520
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 2: realize that world is a numbers game. You've got to

1521
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 2: really put in the time and an episode. Like I

1522
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 2: feel like everybody I see that's been doing it for like,

1523
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,799
Speaker 2: you know, hundredth episodes like these an hour long episodes.

1524
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 2: That's your life, you know. But it's doable. It's definitely doable,

1525
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 2: and it's like it feels like when it hits man,

1526
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 2: the following fan base you get is just they're so loyal.

1527
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 2: Like you see podcasters doing podcasting on the road, like

1528
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 2: even the eighty five South, Like of course they got

1529
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 2: the wild'n out and everything, But I've seen podcasters that

1530
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 2: didn't have that following or name, but they have a

1531
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 2: huge podcast now and all the numbers go up. Yeah,

1532
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 2: and people just want to come out and experience you live.

1533
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: And that's that real money, that real loyalty, you know

1534
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 2: that I feel like every entertainer should want or have.

1535
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 1: Ye I was saying, like, so for some people that

1536
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: are like I've been consistently at it.

1537
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 3: For a year, do you think that even quantifies in

1538
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 3: this age of the digital world or do you or

1539
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 3: should it just be like you don't stop until you

1540
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 3: you actually win.

1541
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, if you really love it, you ain't

1542
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 2: really doing it for a time. You know you're doing

1543
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 2: it because you love it, You're not. You know, we

1544
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 2: used to joke about actors coming out in the beginning

1545
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 2: when we first got out in the game. I mean,

1546
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 2: you have these friends. Oh man, I'm just gonna come

1547
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 2: out and I'm gonna move to LA for a year

1548
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 2: and just see how it works. And if I don't

1549
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 2: make it within a year, then it wasn't for me.

1550
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 2: And we just laughed, like, boy, you think you're about

1551
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 2: to move to LA and just pop off and be

1552
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 2: the next Denzil or Holly Berry in one year? Okay,

1553
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 2: gonna take you six months to pronounce kawanga Losiana. You're

1554
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 2: gonna be the lachianga kawonga Like you're gonna be saying

1555
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 2: that for eight months, you think, like it really is true?

1556
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 2: Like this business they say ten years whatever, but sometimes

1557
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 2: it is, you know, it's a relationship base. It definitely

1558
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 2: is a lot of relationships. And even when I first

1559
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 2: moved out here, the first wave of strikes that were

1560
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 2: happening with the writers and everything. You know, a lot

1561
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 2: of people could say, man, I wish I came out

1562
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: at a different time, But I built up a lot

1563
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 2: of relationships and I wouldn't take anything from that, because

1564
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, I know a lot of people in California,

1565
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, you know, and it's the beauty of social

1566
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 2: media that I know even more people in the industry

1567
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 2: and they know my name if they haven't met me directly.

1568
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy what I was thinking about that

1569
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 2: before because my boy, uh Keron, he cracked jokes about

1570
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 2: me because I was shooting a lot with him. I

1571
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 2: had the iPhone like four or something, and I think

1572
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 2: the iPhone six was out at the time, and they'd

1573
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 2: be like, man, why you you got like one hundreds

1574
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 2: of thousand people looking at your little iPhone for quality? Like,

1575
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, but if the irony of it is like

1576
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 2: it's crazy that we could be like, man, I built

1577
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,560
Speaker 2: a career that superseds a lot of careers all on

1578
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 2: the phone, I phone four you know what I mean. Like,

1579
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 2: you got your actors that are consistent and not taking

1580
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 2: away anything from traditional Hollywood, but it's just the game.

1581
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 2: Like you can see a TV show that you like

1582
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 2: right now, and it could be an actor that's on

1583
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 2: there pretty frequently but not as much, but you would

1584
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 2: like you see them out and you be like, I

1585
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 2: think I know I recognize them somewhere. I think you know.

1586
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,719
Speaker 2: But because the way Instagram and Vine was like they literally,

1587
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 2: you know, everybody has the phone everywhere, everybody's on their phone,

1588
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 2: and they looking at these videos and it's consistently like

1589
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 2: seven seconds, fifteen seconds is playing over and over. It's

1590
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 2: like our faces and voices are being embedded in your head,

1591
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And people connect more. So

1592
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 2: you got people on these big Fox TV shows or

1593
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 2: whatever network, and here you are like, what is really

1594
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 2: the level of success that we're talking about here? Like

1595
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 2: what is it Hollywood or is it? Like all right,

1596
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm known, I don't have to work it. I haven't

1597
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: worked a job outside of entertainment in ten plus years.

1598
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: That's you know what I mean.

1599
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 2: By the way you know you can I've been I

1600
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 2: can go all around the United States and people know

1601
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 2: my work, Oh, we love you work, and were fans.

1602
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't like calling people fans supporters, but like, you know,

1603
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 2: that's there. So you got that. I went out the country.

1604
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 2: I was in Antigua, and you know, they were like, oh,

1605
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 2: we love you videos. Oh man, y'all watching videos over? Yeah? Yeah,

1606
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,720

1607
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 2: you know, bro, more than you know you know what

1608
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean. So you got people all over the world

1609
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 2: that you got celebrities this year. I heard people at

1610
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 2: studios be like, oh, yeah, we'll be watching you guys,

1611
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, legs like Robert Townsend and Keene Like you'd

1612
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 2: be like, man, what's a funny man like me? And

1613
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 2: Keene was just looking at y'all videos like what like

1614
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 2: these are like the guys that we look at like

1615
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 2: modeling our stuff after them, you know? So what is

1616
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 2: really success at that point? Like do we let us

1617
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: believe that? Are we supposed to believe that success is

1618
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 2: what Hollywood says it is or you just really look

1619
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 2: at what life is now. Of course we want to

1620
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 2: be every artist, well most from where I come from,

1621
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 2: you want to get that. Okay. I was in Transformers

1622
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: and I was recovered. So that is the goal for sure.

1623
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 2: But sometimes you got to not be so hard on

1624
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: yourself and really sit back and analyze all that you

1625
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 2: have done and be like, man, it's kind of you

1626
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 2: did more than some of the actors that just got chosen,

1627
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And you have a brand

1628
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 2: and it's nothing more beautiful to see that outside of

1629
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,600
Speaker 2: the phone. I remember I did my first show in

1630
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 2: DC and I recorded like I did it like in November,

1631
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 2: right around my birthday. It's freezing out there and there's

1632
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 2: a long line and you know, I'm recording the line

1633
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 2: and you're like, all these people, it's beyond now my

1634
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 2: family and friends, Like this is all these people betting

1635
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 2: outside waiting for you, meaning that at some point they

1636
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 2: had to say I like you, I'll follow you. Now.

1637
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 2: I need to get up, get dressed, pick an outfit,

1638
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: drive to you, and wait in the cold to see you.

1639
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:14,600
Speaker 2: That is gratifying.

1640
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can only imagine that is a.

1641
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 2: Super feeling, you know what I mean. I feel like

1642
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 2: anybody that's really working hard in this to get to

1643
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:23,480
Speaker 2: that level.

1644
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Is that would be like a hole. That would be

1645
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the time at the.

1646
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 2: Moment because you work, I'm all corny and stuff. I

01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 2: to get from the industry, it is like people really

1653
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,120

01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: to have.

1694
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 2: So I want people to be saying, like, your whole

1695
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 2: turkey taste like dark meat.

1696
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna.

1697
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 2: Try this turkey.

1698
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: Do you cook turkey for your family for Thanksgiving?

1699
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? My mom be mad. She'd be trying to hate

1700
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 2: because you know, you're putting all the extra stuff in it,

1701
01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 2: Like you know my turkey better. It is what it is,

1702
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 2: Like Mom, you know.

1703
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: I want to try this turkey. Okay, I want to

1704
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 1: try it for real. I'm I'm gonna hold you to it.

1705
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 2: Bring your turkey.

1706
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I've never no, not a turkey. First of all, turkey

1707
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: is naturally dry, so why would I in a turkey.

1708
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 2: I just had a homegirl come to our spot a

1709
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. We had like a friend's kickback,

1710
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 2: and we all brought food and stuff. And she came

1711
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 2: to years ago when I first moved out here. Thanksgiving

1712
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 2: friend friends Giving, Yeah, and she said, I never eat turkey.

1713
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 2: I never have in my life. I'm not gonna do it.

1714
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 2: She brought the story up probably like eight years later,

1715
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: in the house in front of everybody. She's like, you

1716
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 2: know what, your turkey was the first turkey I ever

1717
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 2: had and liked because I never liked turkey my whole life,

1718
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 2: and then I had your and you know, lie, it

1719
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 2: was juicy, and oh I think I can mouth cookie now,

1720
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 2: she said, she got out. Yeah, because people have been

1721
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 2: holding this in. I didn't bless them, and now all

1722
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 2: of a sudden years later they wanted to step up

1723
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 2: to the master. It's fine.

1724
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: I want to try this turkey. I want to try

1725
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: the turkey.

1726
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 2: I got people never in the life like turkey, and

1727
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 2: I changed and I converted them. You know what.

1728
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: You know what someone made for me the other day

1729
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 1: that I never had was fried salmon.

1730
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: There's interesting. People don't really do fris wonder. I guess

1731
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 2: Sam just looked at it as like a healthy fish.

1732
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, no one's ever done it.

1733
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 3: But you want to know something, what was also impressive

1734
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 3: that you would think when you fry salmon would be

1735
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 3: really dry.

1736
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 1: This cat did it and it wasn't dry.

1737
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 3: I was thoroughly like sitting there like you know, you know,

1738
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 3: when it's so good, you'd be like, hey, come over here,

1739
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,600
Speaker 3: so what what what breading.

1740
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 2: Did you use?

1741
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, and how how long did you.

1742
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: Do that for? Okay? You must have baked it again

1743
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 2: or something I don't.

1744
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: I don't know how he did it, but I'll probably text.

1745
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: But it was fried and he used the Louisiana you know,

1746
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: the the breading the season, and they used it.

1747
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 2: The reason probably why I haven't tried f like that.

1748
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 3: I don't fry, but I promise you that fried salmon.

1749
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 3: I was like at the freak out and it went

1750
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 3: so quick you couldn't even get more we had with it.

1751
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 3: I mean they had everything. They always have a big spread.

1752
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I was thoroughly like, okay, So what

1753
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying is more the story is, don't judge me

1754
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: by my ten year old come back to the tongue ramen.

1755
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,719
Speaker 3: No, we respect you for for We respect and appreciate

1756
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 3: you for taking the time to make this classic dish

1757
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 3: that was.

1758
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 2: Did you eat all of Tim's Let me tell you,

1759
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:33,800

Speaker 1: Ramen so much.

1761
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 3: First of all, little backstory is that I couldn't find

1762
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 3: the Mama ramen that he had, so I texted, I said.

1763
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,680
Speaker 2: Another reason why this is the cheat code that nobody.

1764
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody could get their hands on it, and he

1765
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: had some at the house, so he brought it in.

1766
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: We had all the ingredients, but his dish was so

1767
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: good that I went home and tried to create it

1768
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:54,799
Speaker 1: at least four different times.

1769
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,799
Speaker 2: Somebody tagged Tim in here, tagging him in the comments.

1770
