<v Speaker 3>So I have you in the studio about to cook

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 3>me a nice dish. What are we eating as a

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>broke dish today?

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this this is going to change your life. You

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>never had a dish like this? So pleasant. I'm missing

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>my butter, though I don't see my butter.

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you put butter on the line?

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I did put butter on it? I crazy? Yeah, we

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>have butter, I'm sure we do. Yeah, let's get some butter.

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I've just noticed that. I'm like, wow, So, yes, I'm

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>about to make the best dish ever.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.319
<v Speaker 1>But I'm pretty sure there's only vegan butter back then.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess we got to deal with it because judging

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 2>me on my meal without my ingredients. But it's cool.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I love when people say you forgot an ingredient. That

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>would be funny if that ingredient was on the list.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Because it was. It was like four. But it's called noodles.

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's that's what it's called. I was like, man,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, you was broke wn. You don't see any meat.

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You're right, and I'm from the d m V. And

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>this is a luxury. You know. This was like how

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>we got down. I mean, it's called top ramen, but

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this was like the thing to eat before. You know,

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>you saw a noodle a ramen restaurant on every corner.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Now, oh yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that real butter or vegan butter? You didn't even look.

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It's the one out of the whatever. Let's let's she said,

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>it looks the whole time when you were in there.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, because he was, well, it's your still up here.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess you're not gonna use.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>None of that. No, we'll use it. It was recording.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we still so yeah.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about oodles and noodles and noodles and noodles.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and noodles and this butter looks nice. So I

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 2>guess we're.

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Gonna we're gonna find out if it's vegan or not.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure doesn't matter to taste good. So yeah,

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 2>before a ramen place was hot. I feel like we

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>were eating udles and noodles. We made ramen hot. We

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>made everybody talk about, oh my gosh, bring it back

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>from China and do it here in America because they

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>heard about how we did it in the DMV.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna figure out if you're really, really were broke

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 3>by answer, if you could answer this one question correctly,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 3>do you go out and buy.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Ramen at a restaurant.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Back then? Over now?

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Have you yeah? Okay? I mean yeah, yeah, you made

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it to the other side.

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>You made it to the other side. I mean, but

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I made it to.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>The other side when you could literally do that.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 3>You could make this in your kitchen for a dollar,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>and you're gonna go to a restaurant spend twenty dollars

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>on some wrong.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>But there's a difference. There's there's a difference like, oh,

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>like you got the ramen spots now and the loose goods.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>We made it from scratch. It's is like we just

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>made the ramen from the dough and everything, and you

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>know they have how they say all this different stuff,

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's like you see a lot of Asians back there,

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So it makes it a little bit more official, so

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 2>and they add other things to it. No, Ramen is

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a culture and udles and noodles was something that they

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 2>put in the grocery stores for us to get to

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>or top Ramen. Should I say, so, we can get

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>to it. But they've been doing this stuff. Ramen's Asian connection,

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that's an Asian pirsuave.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Well let's see, how are you gonna make this Ramen

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 3>all special?

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, first and foremost, you got a boil of water.

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>You got a slow boiler?

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you have it on low? Is that why?

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>You? Sure?

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you got it on low?

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 3>He said, we have a slow boiler boiler, but he

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:28.799
<v Speaker 3>didn't even put it on high.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, readings fundamental. So yeah, so first you start

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>off boiling the water. Okay, Now you need yourself a

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>nice onion because I'm an onion man. You know, it

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>adds a certain level of extra spice.

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Where are you gonna add the onion into the water?

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's good, I'm about to get to it.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Baby back, you know what I'm saying. Then it adds

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more of a crunch to it too,

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. You got now, you got

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>your your season seasons, You need black pepper. We don't

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>need to do salt. So you got salt. You didn't

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>forget that soy sauce. Just a look, and then you

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 2>got see what's the deal with the crystals the crystal

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 2>hot sauce. So see, I'm not really a hot sauce man.

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I really don't like to do spice because it's too spicy.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not in my life. But Crystal's hot sauce is like,

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's like it gives you a little spicy,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>but it's not. It's like kool aidives of hot sauce.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 3>So I'm glad I learned that because I'm not a

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 3>big spicy person. But I was like googling where do

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 3>you get crystals hot sauce? And it said Walmart.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I said, yes, I.

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Feel like hot sauce is not even spicy. I I

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's the flavor of chili pepper, Like it's

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>just not spicy. And I don't do spice at all. Yeah,

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>it's the only one that I've let you know.

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad I didn't try to cheat you and just

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 3>put whatever in the kitchen, because then I.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Would have died. Also, we need butter. They found butter

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>last minute, Thank you Lord and eggs. I like to

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>boil the eggs.

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>This is what I thought. You wanted them hard boiled already.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh they're already hard boiled.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's cool. Do you want us to get you

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, we boil them for you now.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Now. Now here's the thing. How did you boil them?

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Is the yolk all super hard in the middle?

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You know how?

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I know because me and this other girl was cleaning

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 3>the studio yesterday and the girl said to me, how

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 3>long do you usually boil your heart boiled eggs? I

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 3>said to her, I swear to god, I said, they're

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 3>hard boiled. Who's counting? And she was like, girl, I

<v Speaker 3>got you high five. So them things was boiling for

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 3>at least like ten fifteen minutes.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>They gotta be solid.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I do prefer the yolk

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>to be nice and soft and flaky when you touch it.

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 2>You know that old hard, there's a rock, it's you know,

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>when you get your vegetables, do you rense them? You do?

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>But not an onion?

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's the difference with an onion?

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>It's got layers. You could literally cut it off. But

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, I want to watch this.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, Well I'll cut while you while you question there.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I have never in my life, and I hope, I

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 3>hope this is a real thing that all people do.

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Is but I've never washed an onion ever.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, normally I wash an onion with the sink. But

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna make it work with this. Now we don't exactly,

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>we don't need a whole onionod it's a nice knife job, sponsor.

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure you cut the onion. Now. This is

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 2>still a lot of onion. But there's two people.

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I do have a rule, but I'll trust myself nor

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 2>because I see you got two packs there. The rule

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to top Ramen is one pack per pot. There's something

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>about quantity in quality. For some reason, most times you

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 2>can't make more than one pack, and it just tastes

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>just as good. But you know I'm trusting, So just no.

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Normally when you do this, use one pack.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>So what if you have like someone over, you gotta

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>get another pot?

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Wow?

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Or wait?

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I just so you know, I put double the water

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>for double the packs.

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, cool, Okay, it's cool, it's cool. So yeah, what

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do is I'm gonna peel this onion off

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, you know what I'm saying, because you

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>got all this extra stuff coming. See you see that?

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Look it up?

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look at that clean little layer.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Is it clean? Though?

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 3>But that's the thing you're pulling off, the bare minimum.

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I pull off that second, lady, But.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 2>That's taking off meat, meat off the.

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Broke brokeness right now, I'm respecting.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, is a woman taking off her ass, cheeks

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and the panties, all right? You know what I'm You

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 2>see a little all your stuff on it? Okay, cool,

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a little little layer. Yeah, I would prefer not

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 2>to have all the extra hair, hairy skin. Yeah, that's

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 2>a layer that we could take off.

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's a little bit too much panties. That's

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the actually layer of panty right there, you know. All right,

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 2>so we do that? Okay, cool?

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me know why you name it shows? What's your

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>name it?

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Right? So now look at that. Now we're ready.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Now you're gonna wash it.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>We went through the little rints. I only looking fresh

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and ready to be.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 3>That was like a dip. That was like a baptism

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 3>of the onion. But okay, I got it less.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Now you're ready to just like you can bite this

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>No thanks, okay, cool? Would you ever eat an onion?

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Wrong? You pay me some money? Okay, it's probably torture. Torture, torture,

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>all right, okay, cool, So I'm gonna cut this onion up.

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Are you excited.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm also curious what was going on at the time

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 3>when you were making an onion Ramen.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 2>So at the time when I was doing it first

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>started when we discovered it, Yeah, because you know, I

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>was talking to some of these Asian cats and I

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know what, we're gonna do this for y'all.

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna make this hide in the streets. But I

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 2>was a young tender aro only living at home when

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>my parents Mommy and Daddy in the DMV District Heights.

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it was probably Yeah, I made top Roman

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>all the way to the age of tender eighteen.

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh you stop making it?

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, once you move to la and you

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>get all helf conscious, a lot of this stuff goes

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 2>out the window.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>So you haven't e in this in a while?

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't judge me. Wow, that sounds like a lot

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>of judgment. So I haven't had top ramen. Yes, this,

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I haven't made this. Probably this masterpiece graduated to other things,

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>but I probably haven't made this in about in fifteen years.

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Really. Oh yeah, Oh, so are you gonna like nostalgia

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 1>right now?

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a little bit, you know what I'm saying

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't even eat like this. I don't even eat

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 2>carbas during the week, you know, really not trying to

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 2>be bully with it.

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 3>It's just how you know, when people transfer over to

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>la A start talking like any cars carrots, just.

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Shout out didn't work. Somebody did that trick to you

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times.

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I have siblings, didn't even flinch.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 2>I am dead over here.

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You got so you haven't eaten this in fifteen years.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 3>That's like a testament to like your success in la

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 3>having its footprint on you.

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Apparently.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I.

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Eat like a regular person, like you know, I haven't

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 3>said so. The most I don't do is red meat,

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 3>and that's because LA I'm allergic.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right.

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you're putting the onions in the water, got.

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>It freshly cut? You know you don't. You can cut

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>them how you want, as big as you want, as

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 2>small as you want, is how many you want. I'm

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>an onion lover, so you know I wouldn't use this

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 2>much for just myself, but I probably used about three.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 3>Quarters of this just just hey, you ain't got to

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 3>put the whole thing in. Don't destroy the dish because

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I will judge it.

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.959
<v Speaker 2>You gotta eat it too. There's two people I know.

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just letting you know.

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 3>If it comes out all onion.

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I like onions as long as they're cooked.

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like to cook them nice and soft. I

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:16.319
<v Speaker 2>like to get them nice and soft and just just

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the juice onion, juice in the water. I'm gonna put

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 2>this now in the hood. I'm not gonna say I'm

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>not from the hood, but I'm you know, I'm you

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 2>know than that. I wasn't rich, but we don't. We

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>normally didn't do this. But since it's here, speeds of

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the process I heard, so we're gonna let that just

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 2>warm up and do his thing. The eggs are already boiled, so.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you peel and crack them up?

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Yeah, you know, let's peel them because what I

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>am going to do at some point I am going

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to put them back in the pot. So you don't

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 2>do nothing on the show.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>You pretty much, man.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>It's a really hard ball. Wow, you hit that, Jane.

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy, you.

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Know, I like, literally, let them boil me. And this

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 3>girl was just joking. I was like, yo, let them

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 3>boils for a while. We boil them yesterday and just

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 3>put them in the fridge. You could probably throw you know,

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 3>look I'm helping out.

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Look at this. Look at her. I can do this

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>one handed.

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Look at her.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you boil it right, if it just

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>like slips right off.

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>That's good. Did you put any salt in the water

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>or nothing? You just threw them in the water. How

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 2>long you been cooking.

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been cooking. I cooked good.

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, But let's hear your story, missus. So did acting

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>come first or did comedy come first?

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of people don't know because I am

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>known a lot more from my comedy. But I started

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>off as a dramatic actor for sure, got an NAACP

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Theater Award. You know, you don't get that. I just

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>tell them all these jokes. You feel me. Idol was

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Denzel Washington, So I was mimicking a lot of Denzel

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>performances for sure. And then when I moved to LA

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I started to get more into you know, comedy and

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 2>stand up and I met up with my boy Brandon Brody,

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>hilarious guy.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But wait, before we get into you doing comedy, what

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>was your first like, what was that first intro to acting?

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>What was that first gig, like, tell me like the

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 3>lead up to it, that first big break.

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so my first.

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Doing this work for you?

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I know, right, you better get it. So my first

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>acting gig man, I remember, actually my first acting in

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 2>general was an audition in high school and they said

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 2>do a cold reading for this audition and I didn't

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 2>really know what that was. That was my first time auditioning.

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that was probably my first time auditioning ever.

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't know what the cold for people don't

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 2>know what the cold reading is. You get the script

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and you just got to go out there and you

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>have little time to memorize any lines. You go out

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>there and you just perform and act it out. You

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>can still have your script, but you just got to

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of like real time. Yeah, And for me that's

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>always been a little hard, Like even to this day,

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I like to memorize my stuff because I don't want

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 2>to be trying to filter my thoughts and read at

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the same time, because I don't want to look like

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading. So I didn't know, and he was. I

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>was like when I got on stage, I was like,

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a director was like, all right, action, and I

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.239
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, I didn't have enough time to mimigize

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 2>my lines and he's like, what the like next? Just

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 2>yell next? While I was on stage. That was my

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>first experience.

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>You were in high school.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I was in high school. That's crazy. I wish I

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>knew who that dude was now so I'm like, yeah,

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and not holding graduatees, so as I progressed, I did

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>TV production in high school as well, and then I

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't actually get my first speaking role or acting job

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>until I was I went to community college for like

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a year PG community for like a year and a half,

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's this play called Our Town or play how

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>We Knew the Milkman. It was I didn't have any lines.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 3>And your family knew this whole time, and you knew

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 3>this whole time. That's what you wanted to do, yes, ma'am.

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 3>When did you know that you wanted to do it?

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I think? And it was some time in high school,

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>like eleventh grade, near senior year, and they was like

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 2>you know that time when they're asking you what do

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you want to do?

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to do? What college do you

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 1>want to go to?

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you want to get?

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>A nine to five go to college.

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>The dreaming of it came like in middle school when

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 2>you see movies and like, oh, I want to do that.

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a part of that. I want

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to be in that world, but you don't really know

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 2>how to get into it. But around when twelfth grade

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>came to asked that question, I was like, yeah, it

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 2>was blurry, I really it was. I didn't it was

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 2>very far. I didn't have anything else I wanted to do,

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.399
<v Speaker 2>but acting that's the only thing that stood out to me.

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.439
<v Speaker 2>So after I graduated, I did Howard knew some in

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 2>our town, and you know, I had to be the

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>milkman in the place. But I do remember break. Before

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 2>I went on stage, I was thinking to myself, Oh,

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it's the first time I ever acted. You know, you

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 2>had that moment. I was like, oh, wait, what what?

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 2>And then I went out there and did it. And

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 2>then after that I started pursuing acting. I got my

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>first manager, Linda Townsend and Maryland Uh. The same day

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I got the call that I was getting signed for.

<v Speaker 2>a manager same day I got that call. Uh, I

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.520

<v Speaker 2>and they said, you just got booked to be a

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 2>background artist, featured background, so background is extra. But this

0:18:59.280 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>one was like.

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.320

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:03.879
<v Speaker 1>right for that?

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.480

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 2>getting my I just got my head shots. I made.

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.239
<v Speaker 2>It was black and white back in the day. That's

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>how far back black and white. And I just did

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a submission, mailed out a bunch of bones. Two different production.

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Companies personally were doing that.

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I was ahead.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Cryme and they called me back and I said, oh snaps.

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 2>So I was background on the Wire was a big deal.

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Why is legendary?

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:33.879
<v Speaker 2>And I remember it on set and it's like I

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>was just like, oh snaps, Like I won set, you know,

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and they having a little the guy. The thing that

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 2>shot up to me the most was the crafty people

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know crafty and crafty is like the snacks and

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff that they give to the actors. This lady came

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 2>out with cutting board with PB and J. No, this this,

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>this is what set it off for me because the

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 2>P B and J was it was it was on

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.160
<v Speaker 2>potato bread, and from where I'm from, the upper echelon

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>of bread is potato bread. You make your PEPJ with

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 2>some potato bread. That's a new level of taste. And

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the corners the crust was cut off. I'm oh, you know.

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 2>They had some tunic fish like that too, but I

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 2>was like, no, the people eja. So that was a

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 2>moment for me. So I said, I have to get

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 2>back on this show, you know. And I got on

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 2>the wire again, but it was background again, but it

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 2>was way further like a football field. I was like,

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.879
<v Speaker 2>why y'all even need somebody back there, you know, But

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 2>that's just how it worked. So as I was getting

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 2>in the game with the management, I would go to

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 2>different auditions with the new manager and I ran into

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 2>he actually ended up being my future roommate in LA

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 2>one of my roommates, Dennis Hill, and he was like, yeah,

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.720

<v Speaker 2>in Baltimore. She's the casting assistant to the head casting

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 2>and on the show she said you should go. He

<v Speaker 2>said you should go take it, you know, take her

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 2>class once a weekend or whatever. And I went to

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 2>go take it. I drove all the way down. It

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 2>was a forty five minute drive from where I lived,

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I took the class. And she always said,

<v Speaker 2>you know, I can get you in the door, you

<v Speaker 2>gotta do the rest. And she actually got me an audition. Yeah,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:22.320

<v Speaker 2>the main character. I'm here drug dealer. I'm like this

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 2>drug dealer that's you know, small and pop shop on

0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the block, and he brings me in and I'm coming

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and you should probably use this clip as I'm talking

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 2>about it on the show. Yeah, YouTube find it. I

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>had long little two string twist. I was, man, I

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 2>like little B two K extra member back then anyway,

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 2>so able to line up all these shaved down and

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>everything like O Mario on it was like anyway, So yeah,

0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>I walk down and it's a half a circle and

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking straight tomorrow in my head, I'm like, oh, snaps,

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>because I have never been on a production this level.

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:26.400
<v Speaker 2>So this other side, if to my right, my peripheral,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 2>all I can see is like almost one hundred crew

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>members in equipment right there, and the reality, you know,

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>soaks into you, like, man, there's a lot of money

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>waiting on me to get these lines right, and you're

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 2>just thinking, like time is money, and they just looking

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>like all ain't in action, and you're like, so I

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>do my lines? I do. I do always deliver. I

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 2>definitely deliver. But it's like those moments. I've had a

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 2>few of those moments in my career throughout time where

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 2>it's like, man, you're here, you know. So that was

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>my first speaking role got me qualified for this, say Union,

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I was ready to move because before

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to move to l A.

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>So that one role got you qualified, yeah.

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Because the way it works with the Union, you got

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 2>to have three, uh set three background roles vouchers on

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a SAG project. I already had one. I had two

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 2>or one speaking role.

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Or or one on AAG project on the same project.

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 2>On a SAG project, and that automatically got me qualified

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 2>for that. So but I was before that, I was

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>calling l A trying to get agents and the sack

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:35.920
<v Speaker 2>was like no, and they would hang up with me

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 2>straight up. Just LA agents was just brutal. They still

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>are h But yeah, So now I was ready to

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>save up my money and move to l A.

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 1>From the wire, you were you able to do that?

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Well? I was able to go to LA. Now I

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>spent a few more years saving up some money. And

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll be real because all the money's gone now. Back then,

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 2>but I saved about fifty thousand dollars almost fifty thousand. Yep.

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>That's not the norm.

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 1>But how are you able to do that off acting?

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Well? I actually had a nice government job driving government

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 2>officials around.

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>What kind of job was that?

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Just driving government officials around? Like Better's top secret, They're

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 2>driving to the Pentagon, driving to the White House, Andrew's

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Air Force base. He's making like twenty five dollars an hour, okay,

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and then on overtime maybe almost thirty thousands.

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So you were doing that in Maryland while pursuing acting. Yeah,

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and you had your agent? Yeah, manager, manager, I mean,

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and so you don't have an agent. You're doing this

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of years, then you finally say let's

0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>go move on to La. Yeah, and now how hard

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 1>was it to quit that day job that was comfortable?

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>It was hard, but it wasn't hard because I had

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>already been. When you got a passion, you got a passion.

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Plus I was young, and really young, like fresh out

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 2>of high school. So it's like I'm about to go.

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like I had been, sus you didn't have that

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 3>much overhead, I would imagine too. No, I was living

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 3>with my parents even when you were doing the driving.

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I didn't move out of my house until

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I moved to California, three thousand miles away from Maryland.

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 2>That was my first time living anywhere else.

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Wow, and your parents, you come from a two parent household?

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, luckily so, I mean not luckily, but fortunately. So

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it's like a unicorn to be, you know, raised in

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the house with two parents.

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, yeah that's good. They're still married still rock

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah good good. You have a crazy good, good foundation.

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I got the pedigree.

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 3>So when they so when they when you moved, what

0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 3>were your parents were? They all one hundred percent in

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 3>where they nervous so they knew you had a nice

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 3>cushion and you were.

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 2>They never shot I never really told my parents how

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 2>much I say that they knew I was making money.

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I actually got my mom in that building too, she

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>still did making good old money. I got a few

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 2>people in there making money.

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Actually it was a great place to be, into that

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>office to government building.

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, they knew I was always pursuing it. Like

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I said in school, and I would take the Chinatown

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>bus from DC to New York just to take acting

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>classes and never been in New York, don't have any

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 2>family or whatever, so they kind of knew the energy

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 2>was there. It was always safer because I was still close. Yeah,

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's different when you move across the country.

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I was just talking about this today. My father, you know,

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 2>had tears when he saw me off to California and stuff.

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 2>He ain't really a crier. So you know my mom

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:57.680

<v Speaker 1>gonna work on her, Yeah, it probably wouldn't.

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Probably this how much. This is how serious I was

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to catch my mama crying at my grandmother's funeral.

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Her mother, Oh my gosh, No ways, she had these

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:25.960

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 2>over to try to see if she doing and and

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 2>all I could see was just a white She did

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the white. Oh so she did cry, but the white

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 2>was dry as hell, like no way, it wouldn't know.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I washed my hands.

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>They keep We have sanitizer right there just in case.

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Who does that? Who licks their fingers and licks off sanitizer?

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 2>You do that?

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 3>By the way, one of my favorite dishes on this

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.719
<v Speaker 3>show is a ramen dish. So you are going up

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 3>against a really great Raman dish and it was another comic.

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, they made a bomb ram.

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 3>No, they made a Ramen that was top top, it

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 3>was no, you know what they did it. I'm not

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 3>going to tell you to after I rate your dish.

0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 3>So there's two Ramins that are my top favorite romans

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 3>that have been on the show. We actually don't allow

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 3>people to make ramen really on the show. I just

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to go.

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Back because because because they're somebody had already did it, well,

0:32:58.960 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 2>we just don't.

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 3>We don't add Ramin unless someone has tweaked it to

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 3>a certain point. But not because I really wanted you

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 3>on the show, and I didn't want to push my

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 3>little envelope because when I called you, you were so busy.

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:13.880

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, So back to your story. You come to l A.

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Your mom's not a crier, and what's the first play.

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 2>In LA You know, it's funny because I could have

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 2>used this other meal, but I felt like it wasn't.

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't. It was it's just too easy. But I

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>do remember, because you know, when you live with your

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>parents and your parents cooking for you and stuff, you

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 2>don't realize that that's a luxury until you get out

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>on your own. So I remember like getting to my apartment,

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 2>which now my boy Mitchell, he's the one who told me,

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 2>but I told you about it was beat. I beat

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:07.160
<v Speaker 2>an audition he had already.

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:09.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to like make a snippet and just make

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 3>sure that we find Mitchell and just would just have

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 3>it on replay like a record.

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, Mitch, the one that I passed, the one

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that I beat on the audition.

0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he know what it is anyway. So but privately

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 2>to me moving out to LA, he was already out there,

0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 2>so he was like, yo, we got another bit. We

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 2>had a full bed room apartment. You want to come

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 2>out here. I'm not ready yet. I need to save

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 2>up some more money. But he saved that room. So

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I finally got to LA.

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 1>You didn't think forty five thousand was enough. You had

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to hit the fifty thousand.

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Man, okay, I respect it.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I respect it.

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's all gone down.

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>You and me likes that.

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah you. So I got there and I was like, man,

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy. It's my first meal. I had a can

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>of ravioli, so lasagna came. I like that.

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I used to love.

0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you something. I still love raviol until

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.320
<v Speaker 3>I had it on eating while broke, and I was like,

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe I used to like this. I used

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:05.400
<v Speaker 3>to love that stuff.

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 2>How'd you make it? Did you put anything in it?

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't something.

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think he did anything.

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 3>But it just if you tried some of those can

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I'm the I'm the person getting cooked

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 3>for Okay, I'm over here peeling eggs for you.

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Look at your egg. Your egg looked like someone attacked

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 1>it from the side.

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey. Well anyway.

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:34.879
<v Speaker 2>So I get to la and it's that realization moment, like, oh,

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm cooking for myself. Well, welcome to adulthood. So yeah,

0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I made that. You know, it was a good meal.

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 2>But it was like, oh man, I'm here. I just

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 2>officially made my first meal for myself.

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Wow, your mom really took care of you.

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Now, but I made meals for myself at home too,

0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>but it was like your first official on your own. Yeah,

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 2>it's like that feeling like if you don't cook tonight,

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you ain't gonna eat and what you got, you know,

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that was that moment, you know, and then from there

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 2>we went up. So that was so as I got

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 2>to LA, I got the grind on, I got more

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 2>head shots. I had cut my hair off to a

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.640
<v Speaker 2>low cut, and I submitted all these head shots and

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>mass meling.

0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Had help that you have roommates that were like pursuing

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the same industry.

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, to know as far as knowledge of what we

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 2>should be doing, but you know, they can't help us

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 2>get in the room. Yeah. I remember my first experience.

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I would literally go to some of these casts and

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:43.800
<v Speaker 2>offices and drop it off just so I can know

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 2>that it made it. William Shagner Shackner, you know, Captain

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Kirk star Trek. Yeah, yeah, are you sure?

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:36:54.800 --> 0:37:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, She's like yeah, so yeah he I remember I

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 2>saw him in an office. He was on the phone

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 2>having a little business and I'm thinking it had almost

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 2>a similar address as the casting office. I think it

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 2>was just connected. It was like one of those double addresses.

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:15.759
<v Speaker 2>So I go on there and I opened the door

0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 2>while he's on the phone, and I'm being respectful because

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to talk, so I signed language everything.

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, hit shots. I'm basically saying hit shots here,

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 2>and he was like, I was like, oh okay. So

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, okay, the dropbox is probably you know, on

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the side. So I'm walking walking and walking outside and

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I walked to the ventur Boulevard and I look around

0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:42.879
<v Speaker 2>back and forth, and I was like, oh this mother.

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 2>He pointed me to the highway. I hit Captain Kirk. Now,

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 2>hold up my first, that's hilarious experience, Captain Kirk. Let

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:55.759
<v Speaker 2>me check these.

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought you really.

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:00.720
<v Speaker 3>I thought he really pointed you in the right direction

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the way you told it. Those are gonna be some

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:04.760
<v Speaker 3>salt noodles.

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Boy, you like him hard or so?

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I like them kind of hard. When I was younger,

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I like them soft.

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Was you gonna leave it in for like a minute longer? Okay,

0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:14.880
<v Speaker 2>just to kind of I just wanted to break it

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit. But it's actually still a little

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 2>hard in there for you. Okay, Okay, As a matter

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 2>of fact, let me just want these eggs while we're

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.440
<v Speaker 2>in here, because you got these cold eggs. They supposed

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:26.439
<v Speaker 2>to be fresh. You know what I'm saying.

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Boom, that's how you put them in there?

0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, just I didn't.

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:32.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what to expect and where do you

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 3>put the butter? Okay, I'm gonna stay out the kitchen.

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:35.800
<v Speaker 3>I want to hear this story.

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay.

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.040
<v Speaker 3>So, so you're taking your you're taking control of the wheel.

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 3>You're over here pitching yourself to all these casting agencies.

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:46.479
<v Speaker 3>What's the next big play?

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So I started getting a couple of plays. Uh, screenwriter

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.799
<v Speaker 2>don Bie Welch. He was really, you know, really hot

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 2>in the city, like long lines of auditions for actors

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to get in this place. And I ended up

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 2>getting in an audition and booking a play. And I

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:08.360
<v Speaker 2>started doing a couple of plays with him and building

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 2>up my name in the city and his productions, and

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, I got me an agent as well out

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:18.239
<v Speaker 2>here in La started auditioning and stuff. So I was

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 2>in the game, in the mix of everything.

0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Did you need a day job during this whole thing

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:24.840
<v Speaker 1>or were you just like doing savings?

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Well no, actually I got my first job out here

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:29.440
<v Speaker 2>at Ikea.

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, the way you let it up.

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and I got fired from IKEA. I think I

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 2>was late or something whatever, but I ended up claiming unemployment.

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's awesome. So then you were able to like

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 3>pursue your dreams for at least another year, right.

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I ended up claiming in California and Virginia because I

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.920
<v Speaker 2>was fresh. So and then the raid around Obama time too,

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 2>so he was passing all those nice checks. I was

0:39:56.560 --> 0:40:01.400
<v Speaker 2>getting like every other week now fifty dollars.

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, I like.

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I love you, Obama, we miss you. And rent was

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 2>only because it was cheaper than so rent. Rent was

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 2>only four hundred and sixty five each for us, and

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 2>my car was already paid off. I shipped it out here. Okay.

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.280
<v Speaker 3>So you were doing okay, and you're just pursuing your dreams,

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:25.279
<v Speaker 3>going staying focused. At what point do you decide you

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 3>want to get behind the wheel in production and writing

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 3>or does comedy come before that.

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to skip a milestone.

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>So comedy always came natural to me. It was in

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 2>my family. You know, a lot of my friends growing up.

0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like any of my friends, if they got

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>serious about it, they could have been in this business

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 2>as well. But I remember I think I got called

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 2>to do something. When digital platforms start becoming any thing

0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lower is just little. It started to become

0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 2>a thing. Well, I am had started a digital company,

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 2>and this young lady was like, hey, how about you

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 2>right four characters up like in living color style, and

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 2>we can try to figure out how to shoot them.

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 2>They never happened. So I ended up saying, look, I'm

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna shoot my own thing. And right around the time

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 2>when YouTube is becoming a thing and I'm gonna go.

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 2>And when I went home, I shot about two episodes,

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.239
<v Speaker 2>two characters of it getting in Lester and I think

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 2>mister and missus s is something and I shot them

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:33.359
<v Speaker 2>and that was the beginning of the Jahan jones Is Show,

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.919
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of like Dave Chappelle meets him living

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:42.359
<v Speaker 2>color type energy. And then I came back out here

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and I shot all of the episodes. Grand Master Sugar like.

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That, why do you say you came back out here?

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Where'd you shoot it?

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Because I was okay, I went back home. So one

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:53.240
<v Speaker 2>of the times when I went home for the holidays,

0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, I'm gonnaknock this out because I had more

0:41:55.760 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 2>resources to my homeboy Adam. He shot ok, so you know,

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I had just had more resources, and I think I

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't even shoot at him. I think somebody else was

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 2>always facebooking me and like you shoot you know, you

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:11.920
<v Speaker 2>shoot us. So somehow I got my hands with some

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:15.800
<v Speaker 2>cameras and I shot those two episodes the beginning, and

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:19.240
<v Speaker 2>then I came back to LA and finished about another

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 2>eight or six episodes. Grandmaster Sugar. He's a funny character.

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I think I need to bring back, and a few

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:31.280
<v Speaker 2>other characters, Juicy Larry to Jerry Carroll, a lot of stuff.

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 2>And I created that show and I put it out

0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 2>and I ain't getting no views. That was my first time,

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:39.400
<v Speaker 2>but I felt like it was crazy because it was

0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:43.240
<v Speaker 2>before like viral shit. So I would like Facebook everybody

0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and DM everybody on Twitter, and I got like a

0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:48.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand views. Oh my god, a thousand people saw my

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 2>What's it tastes like? Why didn't you like it?

0:43:51.600 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just like that thicker noodle.

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah yeah it was a softer heart.

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Probably hard, but I like the ramen. I like the

0:43:58.520 --> 0:43:59.280

<v Speaker 2>So the YouTube actually it started, it didn't really start

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 2>off on its own. I had left YouTube for a

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:32.359
<v Speaker 2>while and did more of the stuff on social media

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.880

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 2>was creating something called what the Funny was another digital company,

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:47.400

<v Speaker 1>with Now.

0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:13.239
<v Speaker 2>That's how you get in the hood. You ain't got

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.759
<v Speaker 2>other you ain't got when you broke. You don't have

<v Speaker 2>That ap peeled it. Now you cooked that one.

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, continue you continue. Wait, you weren't hypeding

0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 1>you end up working with Marlon Wayne's.

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I was a super hype So I was like, okay,

0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:34.120
<v Speaker 2>let's add some butter for her, since you want to

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.919
<v Speaker 2>be buttered in cholesteroled out. So I was like, man,

0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 2>how I'm much stand out because every black comic in

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 2>la is gonna be trying to get in this and

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 2>also he has like thirty siblings that's going he's gonna

0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 2>put on, So how do I stand out? So it

0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 2>was like, okay, Vine, Remember.

0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember Vine. Vine helped a lot of people's careers

0:45:56.640 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the first TikTok.

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 2>So basically I was like, man, there's an app called Vine,

0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and nobody is like paying attention, used a little bit

0:46:08.880 --> 0:46:14.200
<v Speaker 2>more better paying attention to this app, Like we're really

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 2>focused on these longer vert videos and this is the

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:21.360
<v Speaker 2>fastest meaning of growing a meaning, means of growing a following,

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and nobody's doing it. So I said, let me put

0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:27.960
<v Speaker 2>together a Vine group just for What the Funny, not

0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:32.439
<v Speaker 2>even taking care of myself, and we brought them from

0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:36.719
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred thousand to No. No. A thousand to

0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:38.879
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand in less than six months.

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:42.880
<v Speaker 1>A thousand to one hundred thousand on What the Funny,

0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:48.400
<v Speaker 1>on What the Funny's account, which was the Marlon Wayne's account, which.

0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Was Yeah, which was his company. Now vine ended up

0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:56.919
<v Speaker 2>going down because all the big guys you know, said

0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:58.399
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want to do it anymore because they weren't

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 2>getting paid. So it's blackadd in black pepper guys. And

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I knew all these guys too, you know. I remember

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I did my first stand up show with uh Andrew

0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor aka King Batch, and I remember him hit calling

0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:17.120
<v Speaker 2>me up for his first million followers, like he would

0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:18.839
<v Speaker 2>invite me all the time to do vines. You're like, yeah,

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I got my first million followers. Come to my bowling party.

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I got like fifty million followers now. But I was like, man,

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing plays and I got awards and stuff in movies,

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 2>like you know, I had did a couple of crash

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I was in this movie called Starving Games that was

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:37.239
<v Speaker 2>in theaters that was a spooful on Hunger Games. So

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know, there's this six second app this. Yeah.

0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Then I realized, like a year go by, I'm driving

0:47:44.320 --> 0:47:50.440
<v Speaker 2>party bus. It's part time only on the weekends. I'm like, man,

0:47:50.880 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 2>all my peers is quite a few people have gotten

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:56.800
<v Speaker 2>famous in all these brand deals and almost millionaires in

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 2>a year, and here I am a year round and

0:47:59.000 --> 0:48:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm still on this party bus. And I was like, man,

0:48:01.560 --> 0:48:04.000
<v Speaker 2>it ain't because like, these cats are more talented than me,

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:07.719
<v Speaker 2>talented than me. They were just outworking me a lot. Yeah.

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I was doing spoof and posted on YouTube once a week,

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:12.760
<v Speaker 2>and these dudes were doing new videos, new content.

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Yea, they were so I know that squad and they

0:48:16.800 --> 0:48:19.480
<v Speaker 3>are they were beasts. They would meet up on the weekends,

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 3>they would you know, figure out their whole strategy and

0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:26.160
<v Speaker 3>they would all get together and just tape every freaking day.

0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:29.160
<v Speaker 2>And back then, we couldn't save to a camera roll

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:33.200
<v Speaker 2>until like maybe six months later, so you literally had

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to shoot your video six second video, edit it, and

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:39.480
<v Speaker 2>post it. So there was no like, oh, we're going

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to have a day like. So they were really working. Yeah,

0:48:42.640 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 2>So I decided, hey, I'm about to get into it.

0:48:45.520 --> 0:48:48.480
<v Speaker 2>But by that time I had start working with Russell

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Simmons his company All Deaf Digital, And because the same

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:57.560
<v Speaker 2>young lady Ashley who got me at What the Funny,

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.759
<v Speaker 2>she started working with All def Dish and she said, hey,

0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:03.360
<v Speaker 2>we're looking for creators over here, YadA YadA, And I

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.399
<v Speaker 2>almost made the same decision because I neglected my Vine

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 2>account and only focused on what the Funny account, I'm

0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.680
<v Speaker 2>adding this to a packet. Some people say you shouldn't

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:18.920
<v Speaker 2>this too, mussodium, don't add the whole packet, But you broke.

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:21.279
<v Speaker 2>You want all the season you can get, so you

0:49:21.440 --> 0:49:24.560
<v Speaker 2>just add what's in the pack So just sticking to

0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:27.719
<v Speaker 2>what it is I can get this guts you on

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 2>your crystal.

0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:31.800
<v Speaker 3>So you end up you almost make the same mistake

0:49:32.960 --> 0:49:35.239
<v Speaker 3>that you did with what the Funny with Russell? But

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:37.400
<v Speaker 3>what what was the thing that said now, I'm not

0:49:37.440 --> 0:49:39.200
<v Speaker 3>about to do this a second time.

0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:44.600
<v Speaker 2>So they finally add more seconds fifteen seconds to Instagram.

0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and they will pull Instagram with smart because

0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:50.920
<v Speaker 2>they were pulling all of the creators over from Instagram,

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean from Vine to Instagram. Oh we're gonna come

0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:55.239
<v Speaker 2>over here, guys, and we're gonna get you more.

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And they needed it, they really, I mean the the

0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the influencers needed.

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they needed And it was the beginning of

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was the beginning of Instagram and you

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:12.880
<v Speaker 2>know Vine in the vine and vine Vine created what

0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 2>we call the influencer. Yeah, you had a couple of

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:18.440
<v Speaker 2>cats on YouTube doing their thing like the storm is

0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:20.800
<v Speaker 2>doing his thing. Tim de La Ghetto was doing his

0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:22.280
<v Speaker 2>thing a couple of guys.

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But who's wrong and you're going up against by the way.

0:50:24.880 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Tim, Yeah, that's so cheat. He's Asian. Yeah that's all

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 2>they ate growing up, is that racis. But oh yeah,

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:42.640
<v Speaker 2>you can't you cool with my boy? So yeah, that

0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:47.080
<v Speaker 2>was the situation with that. But I said, you know what, now,

0:50:47.120 --> 0:50:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna focus on myself.

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 2>So I was about to put together an Instagram group

0:50:52.680 --> 0:50:55.440
<v Speaker 2>for all that digital. I said, nah, I had did

0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:58.960
<v Speaker 2>a few videos. I said, na, I'm gonna focus more.

0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:02.440
<v Speaker 2>So I said, a video every day until I get

0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:06.839
<v Speaker 2>a million followers. In less than a year, I got

0:51:06.960 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 2>a million follows on Instagram. Yeah, and that's the way

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the history is made. That's when I my realm of

0:51:15.680 --> 0:51:18.400
<v Speaker 2>social media came. I was like, I consider myself the

0:51:18.480 --> 0:51:21.960
<v Speaker 2>second wave, you know what I mean of influencer. But

0:51:22.080 --> 0:51:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm also you know, I started off as an actor,

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:27.520
<v Speaker 2>so I have that background of that as well.

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And how are you handling putting out that much content?

0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Man? Because at this point I just treated everything like

0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:39.640
<v Speaker 2>a work system. I was able to you know, we

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:42.839
<v Speaker 2>could have camero save stuff. So I'll just have shooting days.

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:47.960
<v Speaker 2>So my day typically was every Thursday, I would get together,

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:50.520
<v Speaker 2>call some actors up and you know, meeting my boy

0:51:51.160 --> 0:51:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Terrence aka Terrence Green aka Ross Swagger, meet up his

0:51:54.840 --> 0:51:57.520
<v Speaker 2>apartment and we knock out three four videos a day

0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and eventually we went up ended up going into my

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 2>other boy house, Kenny. He had a whole house, and

0:52:03.400 --> 0:52:05.799
<v Speaker 2>we just start shooting there. They start calling the sketch house.

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And man, these things will get big too. Man, you

0:52:08.800 --> 0:52:11.600
<v Speaker 2>have like you know, because it's becoming thing, like people

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:17.839
<v Speaker 2>know we were shooting like, uh, soy sauce, don't add

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:19.439
<v Speaker 2>too much because this is very soft.

0:52:19.480 --> 0:52:21.719
<v Speaker 3>It's so funny because watching you make this, like you

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:23.960
<v Speaker 3>look like you really know what you're doing, Like you

0:52:24.120 --> 0:52:26.080
<v Speaker 3>you don't perfected this ramen.

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:28.520
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to add too much because you you know,

<v Speaker 2>you already got the SODI minutes. You just get a

0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:35.120
<v Speaker 2>few dads. You know, we don't like salty food around here.

<v Speaker 3>You start you end up at the house where you're

0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:57.839
<v Speaker 3>starting banging out. I'm guessing a kazillion.

<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna tell you the order Tims, then Bone Thugs,

0:55:29.360 --> 0:55:34.799
<v Speaker 3>then Ashley Everett. Yours would be like the absolute last

0:55:34.960 --> 0:55:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Ramen of all time. It's because you overcook the noodles.

0:55:38.640 --> 0:55:40.160
<v Speaker 3>You put way too many onions.

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:45.399
<v Speaker 2>She worried about these these go to the box.

0:55:45.600 --> 0:55:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You won't even see me to watch me small.

0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Go to the bottle. You don't need it. Chew, you

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:51.520
<v Speaker 2>don't need a chew. Them soft the better.

0:55:54.320 --> 0:55:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm, he's a salty. Give me the soy sauce.

0:55:57.200 --> 0:55:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it'll help you.

0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:01.319
<v Speaker 2>You want some more sauce.

0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He put so much uh rawm and seasoning in it, so.

0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:06.720
<v Speaker 2>You're saying it salty.

0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:09.840
<v Speaker 1>This is like mush.

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm telling you you master egg in it. Oh,

0:56:14.239 --> 0:56:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I ain't even try to take to try the egg.

0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:17.080
<v Speaker 4>Try.

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:19.360
<v Speaker 1>But now, let me just tell you something. You wouldn't

0:56:19.360 --> 0:56:20.840
<v Speaker 1>compete against nobody's drama.

0:56:24.160 --> 0:56:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, let me see, let me try to old.

0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:28.479
<v Speaker 2>Let me try this little egg that you try to cook.

0:56:32.120 --> 0:56:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Not your head, No, that's your head.

0:56:37.760 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just too much onion. It's been boiled

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:40.960
<v Speaker 1>too long.

0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Onions are the key guys. Onions a key life.

0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:47.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason why you ain't had this dish in

0:56:47.320 --> 0:56:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a long time. Hold on, my goodness, you have like

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a stroke from this dish.

0:56:56.840 --> 0:56:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Stroke. You just added more soy sauce.

0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:03.000
<v Speaker 1>You're adding more salt and so salty. I think I'm

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:03.600
<v Speaker 1>only going.

0:57:03.480 --> 0:57:06.240
<v Speaker 3>In for more. Why'd you add soy saut the salty

0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:09.000
<v Speaker 3>because I was hoping it would drawing out the salt.

0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know soy sauce was that salty on its own.

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:15.560
<v Speaker 2>So guys, you try to just and y'all tell us

0:57:16.600 --> 0:57:20.120
<v Speaker 2>in the comments. Is it is it? Is it not?

0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Or is it?

0:57:21.240 --> 0:57:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be honest. It would have been great if

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you added less of that seasoning packet.

0:57:25.760 --> 0:57:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Really, there's so much noodle though? Does it does?

0:57:29.360 --> 0:57:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Does it bring you back? Do you feel like you're

0:57:30.960 --> 0:57:31.640
<v Speaker 1>reminiscent now?

0:57:35.040 --> 0:57:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Kind of? Is it? M hm? I ain't gonna hold you.

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not that bad. Had a little bit more, God,

0:57:42.720 --> 0:57:47.800
<v Speaker 2>but it's all preference. She likes your noodles like paper noodles.

0:57:47.840 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 3>And it didn't have to be this soft like do

0:57:49.680 --> 0:57:52.440
<v Speaker 3>you guys see me? Like I literally just put my

0:57:52.720 --> 0:57:55.800
<v Speaker 3>tongue to the roof and just mashed it. I could

0:57:55.840 --> 0:57:56.440
<v Speaker 3>have swallowed it.

0:57:56.840 --> 0:57:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't like hard noodles because it feels like, oh am,

0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I just eating cereal. If I eating it straight from

0:58:01.040 --> 0:58:01.959
<v Speaker 2>the pack, you know what I'm saying.

0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yeah, if I went to your house for ramen,

0:58:05.200 --> 0:58:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we were cooking two different parts.

0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I would have to cook her as longer. See that's why.

0:58:13.160 --> 0:58:18.400
<v Speaker 2>That's why you have to cook it single. I like

0:58:18.560 --> 0:58:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Loki just because everybody has a different way of cooking

0:58:21.080 --> 0:58:24.880
<v Speaker 2>their noodles. Though. Everybody has a different taste. Some like hard,

0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:26.960
<v Speaker 2>some like sauce, some like the whole pack, some like

0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:30.680
<v Speaker 2>half the pack. Somebody, you know, hot dogs in this stuff.

0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you how Tim did his He got

0:58:32.720 --> 0:58:35.880
<v Speaker 3>this thing called Mama Ramen. So that's how he cheated.

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:38.520
<v Speaker 3>He had a different season. It was like a tie seasoning.

0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.280
<v Speaker 3>He had a peanut butter to a ship, and that

0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 3>shit sounds disgusting when I say it was the best

0:58:44.400 --> 0:58:45.200
<v Speaker 3>ramen of all.

0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Time peanut butter, I promise you.

0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:50.840
<v Speaker 1>With the tie with the tie ramen, I was like, hell, no, okay.

0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because he's making seat that's peanuts songs.

0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And they had it like corn and hot dogs.

0:58:54.880 --> 0:58:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Do it what?

0:58:56.800 --> 0:58:59.440
<v Speaker 1>And then he had like I think top chops scallions.

0:58:59.480 --> 0:59:00.240
<v Speaker 1>It was down.

0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:03.360
<v Speaker 2>You cannot compete with somebody that's Asian, I know. I

0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:06.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, that's like saying, oh, you call me black person,

0:59:06.960 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 2>make fried chicken and a bunch of a bunch of uh,

0:59:10.240 --> 0:59:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:13.720
<v Speaker 3>But I will say bone thugs in harmony. They added

0:59:14.000 --> 0:59:16.440
<v Speaker 3>cheese to theirs, and I thought that was all of them.

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:18.880
<v Speaker 2>That's a cheat too, all four of the game, Army.

0:59:18.760 --> 0:59:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Coming in lazy it was lazy bone, but it was

0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:25.520
<v Speaker 1>like a spread ramen. It was delicious, all right, but.

0:59:27.080 --> 0:59:28.800
<v Speaker 2>All of them it was you know what.

0:59:28.920 --> 0:59:30.560
<v Speaker 3>It was just the fact that they added cheese that

0:59:30.720 --> 0:59:32.200
<v Speaker 3>was different from me. I was like, damn, I never

0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:36.040
<v Speaker 3>thought about that. It was pretty impressive. Have you ever

0:59:36.080 --> 0:59:37.280
<v Speaker 3>added cheese to your ramen?

0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Never too much, that's too much.

0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty good, but yours is like, yo, you broke.

0:59:43.120 --> 0:59:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You ain't got nothing in the account. You got like

0:59:45.440 --> 0:59:47.840
<v Speaker 1>just ramen. You got a half onion in your fridge,

0:59:48.120 --> 0:59:50.479
<v Speaker 1>you got some eggs. Yeah that was George.

0:59:50.520 --> 0:59:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Matter of fact, if you add more crystals hot sauce

0:59:52.440 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 3>to probably help it. Let's try, all right.

0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, I'm glad you're here and you're

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>spending time with me. And I've now discovered one of

1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the worst ramins.

1:00:05.800 --> 1:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Ain't the worst. I'm I'm Bruce. Spruce it up again

1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:09.640
<v Speaker 2>out there.

1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what it is? You just over cooked it. Yeah.

1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna do that for her next time and.

1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>See what happens if I put a lot of hot

1:00:15.200 --> 1:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>sauce on it.

1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna change it because it's still soft noodles.

1:00:18.000 --> 1:00:18.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's fine.

1:00:19.200 --> 1:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I could smell that house. That may

1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>have been too much.

1:00:23.480 --> 1:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Made a whole new dish. It's not even my recipe anymore,

1:00:26.680 --> 1:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>so go on.

1:00:28.160 --> 1:00:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So back to your story when you hit that

1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>one point five, just to take it back, were you

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:37.920
<v Speaker 3>like low key like, what was that experience? Because I

1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>know I would have been hyped. I would have been

1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:41.480
<v Speaker 3>hyped off like two hundred thousand.

1:00:41.960 --> 1:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, it was. It was a ground. It was

1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:45.680
<v Speaker 2>in a journey to get there.

1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>It was one of the videos. Did it really take off?

1:00:48.680 --> 1:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Is that? What? I did have one video that went

1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>crazy that a lot of people was like, and it

1:00:55.640 --> 1:00:58.280
<v Speaker 2>was before people were like going viral on Instagram. I

1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>think it's just up like a glitch because I but

1:01:01.320 --> 1:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I gained like fifteen thousand and twenty thousand. No, I

1:01:04.400 --> 1:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>came like almost fifty thousand followers from that one video,

1:01:07.440 --> 1:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>and it was like, I don't know, it just went crazy,

1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>then it stopped, I don't.

1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Know, and then you had to just keep working until

1:01:14.280 --> 1:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you got another.

1:01:14.960 --> 1:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, just grinding and posting and doing shoutouts.

1:01:18.000 --> 1:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Shoutouts back then like me and Haha Davis and Tonio Skins.

1:01:21.400 --> 1:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>We had like groups of cats. I remember Desi. We

1:01:24.080 --> 1:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>would do shoutouts banks like been in the game for

1:01:27.800 --> 1:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>so long to be some on everybody. We all are

1:01:30.520 --> 1:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a party. But they were oh you they came a

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:37.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit after they came, like maybe they were probably as.

1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>They're also a different market because they're Atlanta market.

1:01:41.520 --> 1:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's still all the Internet. It's influencers Instagram,

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I would say, Instagram.

1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:49.760
<v Speaker 3>I know Simone taps in with like day Storm Squad

1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>a little bit by. I don't never see Desi and.

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh no not not Desi, but no, no, yeah, because

1:01:58.040 --> 1:01:58.600
<v Speaker 2>usually what.

1:01:58.640 --> 1:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I noticed with those clicks is like you have your

1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>DC's crew DC Young fly that hole, but.

1:02:03.600 --> 1:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>They all PC bas. You gotta think about it. Back then,

1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it was all like just kind of only a few

1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of us. You got Batch and everybody who was the godfathers,

1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and then then that's a tight circle. Then they started

1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>expanding more so you had probably about ten of us

1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>as far as urban influencers that kind of all were

1:02:24.920 --> 1:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the known guys.

1:02:26.200 --> 1:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And you guys didn't hey, y'all just kind of collod.

1:02:28.480 --> 1:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, collab, but boom boom, we're doing our thing now, DC,

1:02:31.400 --> 1:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Young Fly, B Simone and everybody started to come to

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>LA and jump in these videos. Especially all of them

1:02:38.080 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>would want to do at some point and the levels

1:02:41.000 --> 1:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>of career, I want to do something with Batch, so

1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:45.040
<v Speaker 2>they would all come out, like Country Wayne, he came

1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>out a couple of times. He shot some videos with me,

1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Like they all start to come but then it just became,

1:02:51.240 --> 1:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, an expansion of influencers and it got bigger

1:02:54.160 --> 1:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>and bigger. But I remember, yeah, I was excited my

1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>first million followers because it was a thing like everybody

1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:04.600
<v Speaker 2>had hit a million followers, they would do like a

1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>celebration video, a big video, and I, you know, I

1:03:08.400 --> 1:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>like to think big like my I like look up

1:03:10.280 --> 1:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to Michael Jackson. So I was like, man, I'm gonna

1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>do this. So I was like, all right, I'm gonna

1:03:15.400 --> 1:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>get all like the top guys like Bad State Storm,

1:03:18.920 --> 1:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>you know my boy fondso Melville, Greg Spoken Reasons and

1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>like a bunch of Tonio, a bunch of influences that

1:03:25.520 --> 1:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>you were familiar with and putting in one video just

1:03:28.880 --> 1:03:30.720
<v Speaker 2>you know. I'm like, I'm having a celebration. I always

1:03:30.720 --> 1:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>had in my head Eddie Murphy's song or the ending

1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of coming to America when he got his wife. You

1:03:36.560 --> 1:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of favored a little bit of that thing about

1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>this little you know what I'm saying. But you know what,

1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the celebrations we just got married. So I said, I

1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>want to use that. So I said, man, I don't

1:03:48.320 --> 1:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>know why I get these ideas. I'm gonna get a band.

1:03:51.400 --> 1:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So I went to all this. I went to u

1:03:56.000 --> 1:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>a high school, the Hollywood High School on Highland, and

1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I went up in there. I was like, look, man,

<v Speaker 2>I got a million follows and I'm gonna do celebration now.

1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>This one used the band and I wanted to play

1:04:05.440 --> 1:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>this song and he was like, yeah, well we won't

1:04:07.560 --> 1:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>get to everyone there. That's cool and it's supposed for us.

1:04:10.880 --> 1:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>So I had a band and I had everybody show up.

1:04:13.720 --> 1:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Then I was I'm gonna take it to the next

1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:16.280
<v Speaker 2>level because I was doing a lot of stuff with

1:04:16.400 --> 1:04:19.400

<v Speaker 2>had told Kevin right before, like I was hearing. I

1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:33.160

<v Speaker 2>gotta be quick, and I just fect rewind back to

1:04:57.760 --> 1:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>one of those moments I had. This is a I

<v Speaker 2>on me, and we knocked it out, and I had

1:07:04.040 --> 1:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>this video and I got put everything together. I had

1:07:06.640 --> 1:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the band, I had all I even had, like to

1:07:08.880 --> 1:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>shoot all my influence, like batching everything separately because I

1:07:11.960 --> 1:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get him all on the same schedule. So I

1:07:13.560 --> 1:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>shot a book tight and it made it look like

1:07:15.920 --> 1:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>they was all together. And I got a horse. I said,

1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I need a horse. I need a white horse. I've

1:07:23.640 --> 1:07:24.439
<v Speaker 2>never ridden a horse.

1:07:24.880 --> 1:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Find this video.

1:07:25.680 --> 1:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you can't find it, I'll send it. So

1:07:29.040 --> 1:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I had a d horse and I was like, I'm

1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a ride in on this horse with this little white suit.

1:07:34.560 --> 1:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Looked like a monkey suit. I found it in downtown

1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and looked like a little Mexican. Not racist, but you

1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:43.640
<v Speaker 2>look like a little Mexican, like one of those band suits,

1:07:44.200 --> 1:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>just to be funny. And I'm on this horse, and

1:07:48.040 --> 1:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I remember that the training was still holding that horse.

1:07:51.720 --> 1:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I remember like, whoo that thing because we had to

1:07:53.440 --> 1:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>drone out there, and I think the nurse the horse

1:07:56.400 --> 1:07:58.640
<v Speaker 2>was a little nervous from all this stuff, like it's

1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:00.840
<v Speaker 2>always it's as good a hint to them. I'm like, no,

1:08:00.960 --> 1:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not. I think that drone was throwing him at

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the sound. He joed it one time and I felt

1:08:05.280 --> 1:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>like in between my thighs, I said, oh, this is

1:08:07.120 --> 1:08:09.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of power. I could die on. This is

1:08:10.080 --> 1:08:13.280
<v Speaker 2>all It's pure muscle under my legs right now. If

1:08:13.320 --> 1:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>he decides to go crazy, I'm done. But he didn't.

1:08:17.479 --> 1:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>We got it. We got the video. It was out.

1:08:19.800 --> 1:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>It was magical, and I remember in the comments that

1:08:22.920 --> 1:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>everybody was like, dang, that's crazy. How'd you get that horse?

1:08:29.920 --> 1:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I got one of the biggest comedians in

1:08:33.400 --> 1:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the world to talk smack in my celebration video and

1:08:37.080 --> 1:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>all you guys can worry about is the horse, all right?

1:08:40.479 --> 1:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>You know? So yeah, that's how I celebrated it was

1:08:43.080 --> 1:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it was a great mind. I do things big.

1:08:44.760 --> 1:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that. I like that. So what was

1:08:47.320 --> 1:08:49.479
<v Speaker 1>that big next big milestone for you?

1:08:52.000 --> 1:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Shoot the big next milestone?

1:08:54.720 --> 1:08:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Just so at this point, are you you're still acquiring

1:08:57.479 --> 1:08:59.400
<v Speaker 3>like a huge YouTube following too, right?

1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Oh then I okay, So I said I wanted

1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to do longer content, so I went over and created

1:09:04.400 --> 1:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a show called You Hitting That on YouTube. That's when

1:09:07.400 --> 1:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>I returned back to I did a few videos before

1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>to kind of get the rhythm. So I never really

1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>put my old viral videos, which I've seen a lot

1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>of people posting my videos over the over the years

1:09:19.240 --> 1:09:21.040
<v Speaker 2>because of music. I used a lot of music, and

1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:24.560
<v Speaker 2>YouTube was always tripping about music and you can't monetize it.

1:09:25.320 --> 1:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>But I finally came back start doing more original content

1:09:28.560 --> 1:09:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and I did the show and you know, me and

1:09:32.120 --> 1:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>my boy Dame Pierre, we created the show together and

1:09:34.880 --> 1:09:38.280
<v Speaker 2>it went crazy. It went crazy. Fans love it. They

1:09:38.360 --> 1:09:40.240
<v Speaker 2>still love it, and it's still a brand from it.

1:09:41.600 --> 1:09:44.439
<v Speaker 2>It's called you hitting that. And I mean I think like,

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>especially the first season, every episode man minimum had a million.

1:09:48.600 --> 1:09:51.479
<v Speaker 3>Views, and what was those YouTube checks looking like? What

1:09:51.640 --> 1:09:53.439
<v Speaker 3>was that first experience with that first check?

1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>That was great, that was actually marvelous, But it still

1:09:57.040 --> 1:10:00.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't as impactful as it could have been because YouTube

1:10:00.439 --> 1:10:03.040
<v Speaker 2>had all these rules. Sometimes they got me for music.

1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it was like just a little bit too sexual

1:10:06.840 --> 1:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>energy for you, so it would not get the full

1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>glow of like monetizing if normally, if it's green, it

1:10:15.439 --> 1:10:19.280
<v Speaker 2>means you're gonna get the maximum amount of money. If

1:10:19.320 --> 1:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>it's yellow, it's gonna be a little shaky. If it's red,

1:10:23.000 --> 1:10:24.680
<v Speaker 2>you ain't getting nothing, you know. So I had a

1:10:24.720 --> 1:10:27.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of yellows I had to learn. The second season

1:10:27.640 --> 1:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>got you know, I kind of could control a little

1:10:29.960 --> 1:10:32.400
<v Speaker 2>bit more. But at that point I wasn't really worried

1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>about that. And then I start adding like more familiar

1:10:36.360 --> 1:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>faces and comics like Michael Collier. I even managed to

1:10:41.160 --> 1:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>get Lisa Ray the Great and a couple of episodes

1:10:45.560 --> 1:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>of the second season. Then I end up shooting a

1:10:48.439 --> 1:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>movie for it called You Married That that just got

1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>on All Black Streaming network. And I'm gonna do some

1:10:54.080 --> 1:10:56.560
<v Speaker 2>more things with the movie. It's a fan base for it.

1:10:57.000 --> 1:11:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Then another show and just building from that. And that

1:11:00.320 --> 1:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>is leading me now to getting ready to launch my

1:11:03.000 --> 1:11:07.519
<v Speaker 2>own network. It's called the Judi Network. What. Yeah, It's

1:11:07.560 --> 1:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>time to take my power back and you know, go

1:11:11.680 --> 1:11:13.719
<v Speaker 2>to the next time. Now, this is not an extended YouTube.

1:11:13.760 --> 1:11:15.559
<v Speaker 2>This is actually I'm not going to be in everything.

1:11:15.680 --> 1:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>This is.

1:11:18.080 --> 1:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>What you're saying network. When I think of networking Zeus.

1:11:21.360 --> 1:11:24.439
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, well Zeus is great, love them making money,

1:11:24.479 --> 1:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>but not as aggressive yet. But the same people that

1:11:28.040 --> 1:11:32.360
<v Speaker 2>built those platforms like Zeus built minds, oh built yours?

1:11:32.520 --> 1:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So what is the headache for that next milestone?

1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Money? I need money? So if any investors looking out.

1:11:39.760 --> 1:11:42.479
<v Speaker 1>There, are you doing it currently with your own money

1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:43.799
<v Speaker 1>or have you raised some capital.

1:11:43.880 --> 1:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going for broke, Robert Townson style, going for broke,

1:11:48.040 --> 1:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>just trusting myself, investing in myself and getting ready. I'm

1:11:52.320 --> 1:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>shooting already shot at third season of you Hitting That

1:11:55.400 --> 1:11:56.479
<v Speaker 2>because that's a brand that.

1:11:56.640 --> 1:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I know what I called you the other day, you

1:11:58.200 --> 1:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>were shooting a bunch. Where were you work on the drama? Well,

1:12:02.040 --> 1:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I just got back from New York.

1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I shot a Christmas movie for BT, so that's what

1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I did, kind of like around the time you hit me.

1:12:09.120 --> 1:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>But I'm getting in production for the drama and and

1:12:14.240 --> 1:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff with the stand up going. I just

1:12:15.960 --> 1:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>came from Arizona did to show off there, so it's

1:12:18.880 --> 1:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot. But I'm back now back. I got a

1:12:21.920 --> 1:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>production call after this talking about that drama. So when

1:12:25.160 --> 1:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>you say that drama, it's a drama series. Is a

1:12:27.439 --> 1:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>drama series for for you? Or is it for the

1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Juda Network? But it's again, it's not like something I'm

1:12:35.280 --> 1:12:38.679
<v Speaker 2>starting in. It's just something else and then be acquiring

1:12:38.760 --> 1:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>more content and just building up and put new series

1:12:43.240 --> 1:12:43.680
<v Speaker 2>on there too.

1:12:44.160 --> 1:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>What's the name of the network, the Judah the Judah

1:12:46.880 --> 1:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Network jud H j u d a j u d ah.

1:12:52.479 --> 1:12:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Get ready. As a matter of fact, you're looking.

1:12:55.760 --> 1:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>For a home, you know what I'm saying. You know,

1:12:58.439 --> 1:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I was already thinking, you know, got a lot of.

1:13:03.040 --> 1:13:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Why not. You know you can break bread or noodle harder.

1:13:10.120 --> 1:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, as long as it's not Joe noodles.

1:13:14.360 --> 1:13:14.679
<v Speaker 2>You want.

1:13:14.960 --> 1:13:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So with everything you've experienced, what was like one

1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:20.360
<v Speaker 3>of the like, what do you think is one of

1:13:20.400 --> 1:13:22.840
<v Speaker 3>the secret ingredients for like your life?

1:13:25.280 --> 1:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Distrusting in God man and you know, just sticking to it. Uh.

1:13:30.680 --> 1:13:33.839
<v Speaker 2>And the number one thing I say uh to anybody

1:13:33.920 --> 1:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>getting into the business is consistency. It's just really that's

1:13:39.040 --> 1:13:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the magic sauce, the magic ingredient, you know, to all

1:13:43.840 --> 1:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. This is consistency. Even the lesser talented are

1:13:50.280 --> 1:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>able to make a name for themselves if they're consistent.

1:13:53.160 --> 1:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>That's why I see a lot of TikTokers or even

1:13:56.880 --> 1:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>back then winers that they are the biggest tons of people,

1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>but they were posting. So after a while people just

1:14:04.120 --> 1:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of like buy into what they're doing. And even

1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:11.280
<v Speaker 2>in that consistency, they get better because they're practicing. Yeah,

1:14:11.720 --> 1:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>so they are actually getting stronger because of the work

1:14:16.439 --> 1:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that they put in.

1:14:17.720 --> 1:14:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Now there's some people that feel like they are consistent.

1:14:20.439 --> 1:14:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Would you say that there's like a milestone metric. I

1:14:22.960 --> 1:14:25.400
<v Speaker 3>know in podcasting we talk all the time at the

1:14:25.439 --> 1:14:29.440
<v Speaker 3>black effect and I heeart, iHeart is a super Consistency

1:14:29.560 --> 1:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>is everything they give me. The talk of Colleen, you know,

1:14:32.040 --> 1:14:34.600
<v Speaker 3>our top number one show has been around.

1:14:34.360 --> 1:14:35.479
<v Speaker 1>For thirty years.

1:14:36.360 --> 1:14:38.640
<v Speaker 3>But I know, like in podcasting, they'll say, like the

1:14:38.800 --> 1:14:41.639
<v Speaker 3>magic numbers around the three hundred marks, three hundred episodes.

1:14:41.680 --> 1:14:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, three hundred episodes, Well.

1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's it. Podcasting is a different beast, though

1:14:49.479 --> 1:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a lane of its kind of. I've come to

1:14:53.080 --> 1:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>realize that world is a numbers game. You've got to

1:14:57.040 --> 1:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>really put in the time and an episode. Like I

1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like everybody I see that's been doing it for like,

1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:08.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, hundredth episodes like these an hour long episodes.

1:15:09.520 --> 1:15:14.639
<v Speaker 2>That's your life, you know. But it's doable. It's definitely doable,

1:15:14.680 --> 1:15:18.479
<v Speaker 2>and it's like it feels like when it hits man,

1:15:18.640 --> 1:15:22.320
<v Speaker 2>the following fan base you get is just they're so loyal.

1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you see podcasters doing podcasting on the road, like

1:15:26.960 --> 1:15:29.120
<v Speaker 2>even the eighty five South, Like of course they got

1:15:29.160 --> 1:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the wild'n out and everything, But I've seen podcasters that

1:15:32.920 --> 1:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't have that following or name, but they have a

1:15:38.200 --> 1:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>huge podcast now and all the numbers go up. Yeah,

1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:44.479
<v Speaker 2>and people just want to come out and experience you live.

1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's that real money, that real loyalty, you know

1:15:48.280 --> 1:15:50.479
<v Speaker 2>that I feel like every entertainer should want or have.

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Ye I was saying, like, so for some people that

1:15:53.720 --> 1:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>are like I've been consistently at it.

1:15:55.400 --> 1:15:57.640
<v Speaker 3>For a year, do you think that even quantifies in

1:15:57.720 --> 1:16:01.280
<v Speaker 3>this age of the digital world or do you or

1:16:01.400 --> 1:16:03.400
<v Speaker 3>should it just be like you don't stop until you

1:16:04.200 --> 1:16:05.040
<v Speaker 3>you actually win.

1:16:05.560 --> 1:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, honestly, if you really love it, you ain't

1:16:10.280 --> 1:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>really doing it for a time. You know you're doing

1:16:13.240 --> 1:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>it because you love it, You're not. You know, we

1:16:15.800 --> 1:16:18.679
<v Speaker 2>used to joke about actors coming out in the beginning

1:16:18.760 --> 1:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>when we first got out in the game. I mean,

1:16:21.439 --> 1:16:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you have these friends. Oh man, I'm just gonna come

1:16:24.320 --> 1:16:26.559
<v Speaker 2>out and I'm gonna move to LA for a year

1:16:26.680 --> 1:16:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and just see how it works. And if I don't

1:16:28.240 --> 1:16:30.280
<v Speaker 2>make it within a year, then it wasn't for me.

1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:32.559
<v Speaker 2>And we just laughed, like, boy, you think you're about

1:16:32.600 --> 1:16:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to move to LA and just pop off and be

1:16:35.080 --> 1:16:38.799
<v Speaker 2>the next Denzil or Holly Berry in one year? Okay,

1:16:40.120 --> 1:16:44.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna take you six months to pronounce kawanga Losiana. You're

1:16:44.600 --> 1:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be the lachianga kawonga Like you're gonna be saying

1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that for eight months, you think, like it really is true?

1:16:52.040 --> 1:16:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Like this business they say ten years whatever, but sometimes

1:16:56.640 --> 1:16:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it is, you know, it's a relationship base. It definitely

1:16:59.640 --> 1:17:02.439
<v Speaker 2>is a lot of relationships. And even when I first

1:17:02.479 --> 1:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>moved out here, the first wave of strikes that were

1:17:05.680 --> 1:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>happening with the writers and everything. You know, a lot

1:17:09.040 --> 1:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>of people could say, man, I wish I came out

1:17:11.320 --> 1:17:13.040
<v Speaker 2>at a different time, But I built up a lot

1:17:13.080 --> 1:17:16.360
<v Speaker 2>of relationships and I wouldn't take anything from that, because

1:17:16.520 --> 1:17:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, I know a lot of people in California,

1:17:19.080 --> 1:17:22.639
<v Speaker 2>in Hollywood, you know, and it's the beauty of social

1:17:22.720 --> 1:17:27.360
<v Speaker 2>media that I know even more people in the industry

1:17:27.400 --> 1:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>and they know my name if they haven't met me directly.

1:17:29.800 --> 1:17:32.479
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's crazy what I was thinking about that

1:17:32.600 --> 1:17:36.160
<v Speaker 2>before because my boy, uh Keron, he cracked jokes about

1:17:36.200 --> 1:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>me because I was shooting a lot with him. I

1:17:37.640 --> 1:17:41.840
<v Speaker 2>had the iPhone like four or something, and I think

1:17:41.920 --> 1:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone six was out at the time, and they'd

1:17:44.240 --> 1:17:46.719
<v Speaker 2>be like, man, why you you got like one hundreds

1:17:46.720 --> 1:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of thousand people looking at your little iPhone for quality? Like,

1:17:51.840 --> 1:17:53.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, but if the irony of it is like

1:17:53.960 --> 1:17:58.360
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy that we could be like, man, I built

1:17:58.360 --> 1:18:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a career that superseds a lot of careers all on

1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the phone, I phone four you know what I mean. Like,

1:18:06.360 --> 1:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>you got your actors that are consistent and not taking

1:18:09.439 --> 1:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>away anything from traditional Hollywood, but it's just the game.

1:18:12.560 --> 1:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Like you can see a TV show that you like

1:18:14.160 --> 1:18:15.880
<v Speaker 2>right now, and it could be an actor that's on

1:18:15.960 --> 1:18:18.080
<v Speaker 2>there pretty frequently but not as much, but you would

1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:20.519
<v Speaker 2>like you see them out and you be like, I

1:18:20.640 --> 1:18:24.960
<v Speaker 2>think I know I recognize them somewhere. I think you know.

1:18:25.760 --> 1:18:29.719
<v Speaker 2>But because the way Instagram and Vine was like they literally,

1:18:29.840 --> 1:18:32.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, everybody has the phone everywhere, everybody's on their phone,

1:18:32.920 --> 1:18:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and they looking at these videos and it's consistently like

1:18:36.640 --> 1:18:39.160
<v Speaker 2>seven seconds, fifteen seconds is playing over and over. It's

1:18:39.200 --> 1:18:42.840
<v Speaker 2>like our faces and voices are being embedded in your head,

1:18:43.320 --> 1:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. And people connect more. So

1:18:45.840 --> 1:18:48.360
<v Speaker 2>you got people on these big Fox TV shows or

1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:53.360
<v Speaker 2>whatever network, and here you are like, what is really

1:18:53.600 --> 1:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the level of success that we're talking about here? Like

1:18:57.000 --> 1:19:00.559
<v Speaker 2>what is it Hollywood or is it? Like all right,

1:19:01.040 --> 1:19:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm known, I don't have to work it. I haven't

1:19:04.080 --> 1:19:08.080
<v Speaker 2>worked a job outside of entertainment in ten plus years.

1:19:08.320 --> 1:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>That's you know what I mean.

1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:12.840
<v Speaker 2>By the way you know you can I've been I

1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:16.960
<v Speaker 2>can go all around the United States and people know

1:19:17.080 --> 1:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>my work, Oh, we love you work, and were fans.

1:19:19.320 --> 1:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't like calling people fans supporters, but like, you know,

1:19:22.120 --> 1:19:25.040
<v Speaker 2>that's there. So you got that. I went out the country.

1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I was in Antigua, and you know, they were like, oh,

1:19:27.680 --> 1:19:30.599
<v Speaker 2>we love you videos. Oh man, y'all watching videos over? Yeah? Yeah,

1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and he hit me with the little movie more than

1:19:32.800 --> 1:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, bro, more than you know you know what

1:19:36.200 --> 1:19:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean. So you got people all over the world

1:19:38.920 --> 1:19:41.840
<v Speaker 2>that you got celebrities this year. I heard people at

1:19:42.000 --> 1:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>studios be like, oh, yeah, we'll be watching you guys,

1:19:44.360 --> 1:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, legs like Robert Townsend and Keene Like you'd

1:19:48.000 --> 1:19:50.120
<v Speaker 2>be like, man, what's a funny man like me? And

1:19:50.240 --> 1:19:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Keene was just looking at y'all videos like what like

1:19:53.520 --> 1:19:56.640
<v Speaker 2>these are like the guys that we look at like

1:19:57.280 --> 1:20:00.200
<v Speaker 2>modeling our stuff after them, you know? So what is

1:20:00.320 --> 1:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>really success at that point? Like do we let us

1:20:05.000 --> 1:20:09.519
<v Speaker 2>believe that? Are we supposed to believe that success is

1:20:09.640 --> 1:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>what Hollywood says it is or you just really look

1:20:11.920 --> 1:20:14.519
<v Speaker 2>at what life is now. Of course we want to

1:20:14.680 --> 1:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>be every artist, well most from where I come from,

1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>you want to get that. Okay. I was in Transformers

1:20:21.320 --> 1:20:24.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was recovered. So that is the goal for sure.

1:20:24.520 --> 1:20:26.479
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes you got to not be so hard on

1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:29.920
<v Speaker 2>yourself and really sit back and analyze all that you

1:20:30.040 --> 1:20:33.360
<v Speaker 2>have done and be like, man, it's kind of you

1:20:33.479 --> 1:20:36.160
<v Speaker 2>did more than some of the actors that just got chosen,

1:20:36.400 --> 1:20:37.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, And you have a brand

1:20:38.000 --> 1:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's nothing more beautiful to see that outside of

1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the phone. I remember I did my first show in

1:20:43.680 --> 1:20:48.280
<v Speaker 2>DC and I recorded like I did it like in November,

1:20:48.479 --> 1:20:51.040
<v Speaker 2>right around my birthday. It's freezing out there and there's

1:20:51.439 --> 1:20:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a long line and you know, I'm recording the line

1:20:54.800 --> 1:20:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, all these people, it's beyond now my

1:20:57.640 --> 1:21:00.200
<v Speaker 2>family and friends, Like this is all these people betting

1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>outside waiting for you, meaning that at some point they

1:21:03.320 --> 1:21:06.080
<v Speaker 2>had to say I like you, I'll follow you. Now.

1:21:06.200 --> 1:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I need to get up, get dressed, pick an outfit,

1:21:10.560 --> 1:21:12.800
<v Speaker 2>drive to you, and wait in the cold to see you.

1:21:13.520 --> 1:21:14.600
<v Speaker 2>That is gratifying.

1:21:14.800 --> 1:21:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can only imagine that is a.

1:21:17.120 --> 1:21:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Super feeling, you know what I mean. I feel like

1:21:18.880 --> 1:21:22.120
<v Speaker 2>anybody that's really working hard in this to get to

1:21:22.560 --> 1:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>that level.

1:21:24.840 --> 1:21:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that would be like a hole. That would be

1:21:28.040 --> 1:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the time at the.

1:21:29.080 --> 1:21:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Moment because you work, I'm all corny and stuff. I

1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:34.880
<v Speaker 2>feel like, hey, we'll get in here so we can

1:21:35.000 --> 1:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>watch you, like you know what I'm saying. But that's like, man,

1:21:37.240 --> 1:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy, Like I'm like, look this line along this

1:21:40.160 --> 1:21:43.519
<v Speaker 2>line is to see me Like it's like, Okay, all

1:21:43.560 --> 1:21:46.679
<v Speaker 2>the hardwork that you and the validation you've been trying

1:21:46.720 --> 1:21:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to get from the industry, it is like people really

1:21:50.000 --> 1:21:51.120
<v Speaker 2>support you know.

1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:55.960

<v Speaker 2>Bring your turkey.

1:24:09.920 --> 1:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I've never no, not a turkey. First of all, turkey

1:24:13.120 --> 1:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>is naturally dry, so why would I in a turkey.

1:24:16.240 --> 1:24:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I just had a homegirl come to our spot a

1:24:18.960 --> 1:24:22.519
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago. We had like a friend's kickback,

1:24:23.080 --> 1:24:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and we all brought food and stuff. And she came

1:24:26.120 --> 1:24:30.040
<v Speaker 2>to years ago when I first moved out here. Thanksgiving

1:24:30.240 --> 1:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>friend friends Giving, Yeah, and she said, I never eat turkey.

1:24:34.040 --> 1:24:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I never have in my life. I'm not gonna do it.

1:24:36.760 --> 1:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>She brought the story up probably like eight years later,

1:24:40.040 --> 1:24:41.479
<v Speaker 2>in the house in front of everybody. She's like, you

1:24:41.560 --> 1:24:43.639
<v Speaker 2>know what, your turkey was the first turkey I ever

1:24:43.720 --> 1:24:46.280
<v Speaker 2>had and liked because I never liked turkey my whole life,

1:24:46.560 --> 1:24:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and then I had your and you know, lie, it

1:24:48.760 --> 1:24:51.439
<v Speaker 2>was juicy, and oh I think I can mouth cookie now,

1:24:52.080 --> 1:24:54.120
<v Speaker 2>she said, she got out. Yeah, because people have been

1:24:54.160 --> 1:24:56.760
<v Speaker 2>holding this in. I didn't bless them, and now all

1:24:56.760 --> 1:24:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden years later they wanted to step up

1:24:59.160 --> 1:25:00.519
<v Speaker 2>to the master. It's fine.

1:25:00.760 --> 1:25:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I want to try this turkey. I want to try

1:25:02.640 --> 1:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the turkey.

1:25:03.200 --> 1:25:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I got people never in the life like turkey, and

1:25:05.680 --> 1:25:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I changed and I converted them. You know what.

1:25:08.200 --> 1:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what someone made for me the other day

1:25:10.360 --> 1:25:12.719
<v Speaker 1>that I never had was fried salmon.

1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:18.760
<v Speaker 2>There's interesting. People don't really do fris wonder. I guess

1:25:18.800 --> 1:25:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Sam just looked at it as like a healthy fish.

1:25:21.800 --> 1:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, no one's ever done it.

1:25:23.080 --> 1:25:25.600
<v Speaker 3>But you want to know something, what was also impressive

1:25:25.920 --> 1:25:27.920
<v Speaker 3>that you would think when you fry salmon would be

1:25:28.000 --> 1:25:28.599
<v Speaker 3>really dry.

1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:31.679
<v Speaker 1>This cat did it and it wasn't dry.

1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:34.560
<v Speaker 3>I was thoroughly like sitting there like you know, you know,

1:25:34.640 --> 1:25:37.320
<v Speaker 3>when it's so good, you'd be like, hey, come over here,

1:25:37.640 --> 1:25:39.600
<v Speaker 3>so what what what breading.

1:25:39.360 --> 1:25:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you use?

1:25:40.400 --> 1:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, and how how long did you.

1:25:42.040 --> 1:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Do that for? Okay? You must have baked it again

1:25:44.360 --> 1:25:45.120
<v Speaker 2>or something I don't.

1:25:45.360 --> 1:25:47.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how he did it, but I'll probably text.

1:25:47.680 --> 1:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>But it was fried and he used the Louisiana you know,

1:25:52.400 --> 1:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the the breading the season, and they used it.

1:25:57.960 --> 1:26:00.479
<v Speaker 2>The reason probably why I haven't tried f like that.

1:26:00.840 --> 1:26:04.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't fry, but I promise you that fried salmon.

1:26:04.439 --> 1:26:06.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like at the freak out and it went

1:26:06.320 --> 1:26:08.400
<v Speaker 3>so quick you couldn't even get more we had with it.

1:26:09.320 --> 1:26:12.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean they had everything. They always have a big spread.

1:26:12.600 --> 1:26:15.360
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, but I was thoroughly like, okay, So what

1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying is more the story is, don't judge me

1:26:18.200 --> 1:26:22.320
<v Speaker 2>by my ten year old come back to the tongue ramen.

1:26:22.479 --> 1:26:25.719
<v Speaker 3>No, we respect you for for We respect and appreciate

1:26:25.800 --> 1:26:28.840
<v Speaker 3>you for taking the time to make this classic dish

1:26:28.920 --> 1:26:29.280
<v Speaker 3>that was.

1:26:29.640 --> 1:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you eat all of Tim's Let me tell you,

1:26:32.760 --> 1:26:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I like Sim's.

<v Speaker 1>Ramen so much.

1:26:34.800 --> 1:26:38.040
<v Speaker 3>First of all, little backstory is that I couldn't find

1:26:38.080 --> 1:26:41.599
<v Speaker 3>the Mama ramen that he had, so I texted, I said.

1:26:41.479 --> 1:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Another reason why this is the cheat code that nobody.

1:26:45.680 --> 1:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, nobody could get their hands on it, and he

1:26:47.479 --> 1:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>had some at the house, so he brought it in.

1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:51.360
<v Speaker 1>We had all the ingredients, but his dish was so

1:26:51.520 --> 1:26:53.360
<v Speaker 1>good that I went home and tried to create it

1:26:53.400 --> 1:26:54.799
<v Speaker 1>at least four different times.

1:26:54.920 --> 1:26:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Somebody tagged Tim in here, tagging him in the comments.

1:26:57.880 --> 1:26:59.720
