Speaker 4: our interview happened, it happened at the right time. Yes,

48
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: And like when the g Herbal situation happened, when that

49
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: went crazy kept hert reached out and said, let's do

50
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: it now to get the spotlight off of that. You

51
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, but if I would have got

52
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: at the.

53
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: End exactly, Yeah, Yeah, I love that.

54
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Who is Marco Summers the father, the son, the friend

55
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: and the lover.

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: I like Oprah refree, Look, the father is becoming something

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: that you never had.

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 3: My daddy was a street guy.

59
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: He was known in the streets and he was real respected.

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: And what I learned and what I got from that

61
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 4: is growing up having like a daddy that's known for

62
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: what he did. All you got when he's not there

63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: for you no more. It's people telling you he was

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: that nigga. But again I didn't get to see him

65
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: as a father. So it's just like it it can

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: help you and hurt you because I feel like some

67
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: people try to make.

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: Their daddy legacy live on. Yeah, and you want to

69
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: be like, Maam, I want to see how he felt.

70
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: I wanted that same type of fame and you only

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: know two things that come with that, and it's like

72
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: jail or dead when it comes with that street fame.

73
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: And I feel like what our legacy is no different

74
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: from big meat in them. And it's like even playing

75
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: his daddy in a role with probably can in his

76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: mind it could traumatize him to like do I got

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: to move now like how he was. And again, what

78
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: if we got a different What if you was supposed

79
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: to be the start like the actor. What if you're

80
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: supposed to be our Michael B. Jordan's and you wouldn't

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: supposed to be who your daddy was, But when you're

82
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: from that, people push that narrative on you to be

83
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: who your daddy was. So me not being like a

84
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: street dude, and then people knew I was funny. It

85
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: was like you ain't like your daddy and it can

86
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: hurt you, like yeah, goofy his hell and you know,

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: So just being able to create a path for my

88
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: kids to let them know that you don't have to

89
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: be where you came.

90
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: From, develop a new you.

91
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: So I want to show them something that I never got.

92
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: And being a father, I know my daddy really cared

93
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: because he he made money for us. But again sometimes

94
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: money in the wrong way can lead you into, you know,

95
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: bad stuff. So him passing away really like made me

96
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: want to be a better father because I knew he

97
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: wanted to be there for us, And it's like, let

98
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: me be.

99
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 3: There for them.

100
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: Did he pass away?

101
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: He got set up? Yeah?

102
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: So he's like yeah, So it was him. And that's

103
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: another thing I learned a lot from that. Like my

104
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: daddy he got he was he was, he was smart.

105
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: So the person that, like my daddy situation was he

106
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: got killed in the car and the person who did

107
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 4: it was somebody that he was comfortable with because my

108
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: daddy never let nobody sit behind him. So the person

109
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 4: who did it was it was him and his girlfriend

110
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: in the car. And the thing is, they said they

111
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: feel like my daddy knew it was coming because he

112
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: tried to get my girl, his girlfriend, out of the car,

113
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 4: and he's trying to drop problem. She's like, nah, I

114
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: want to ride with you, like I want to ride

115
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: with you while you're making place. And that person killed

116
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: both of them. And that's why I tell certain people,

117
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: even for women, you gotta watch who you date, because

118
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 4: just if she wasn't with him, she would probably probably

119
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: still be allowed to this day. So on the side,

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: I feel sorry for her family too, because she got

121
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: what was coming from my daddy. So you gotta watch

122
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: all you date in the world because you never know

123
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: what could come your way.

124
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, how old were you?

125
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: I think I was like eleven or twelve.

126
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: How did that impact you in that moment as a child,

127
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: because you're still growing and those are formative years.

128
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Him, it didn't.

129
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: It didn't impact me a lot. I don't know, it's

130
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: something to me. I'm just numb, like I got a

131
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 4: different time. I'm just numb to a lot of stuff.

132
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: So it just felt unreal. But I understood he was

133
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 4: somebody that did what happened to him.

134
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: He was in the streets.

135
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: And so you understood.

136
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, yeah, because like you know, what goes around

137
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 4: comes around, and it was just more of that. And

138
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: like even at the funeral, like it was funny because

139
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: my day he was like a lot.

140
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: Of people liked him, but he was like a sex symbol,

141
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: like a.

142
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 4: Lot of people like he was buffy, had braids. And

143
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: when he came because he came to my he came

144
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: to one of my uh he finally got to come

145
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 4: to one of my parents teacher conferences. He came and

146
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: all the teachers was like, you know, like yeah, yeah,

147
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, and it was white ladies, so yeah, so

148
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: they're like yeah, yeah, like he hat like he's really

149
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: you know, and they was trying to domb it down

150
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: and like, oh, well, he could do better.

151
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: Than all this.

152
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: So well, my daddy after I remember me leaving with him,

153
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 4: and he was upset about my grades, and I got

154
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: my earsperienced too.

155
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: I had both my ear spirits.

156
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 4: You know back then you can't get both your ear

Speaker 4: I never I feel like that has opened eyes, Like,

241
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920

Speaker 4: It's just if it hit me like the same, right,

248
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: and I pay attention to like how somebody is with

249
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,440

261
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: it's not good to just joke people because you never

262
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,480

00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I think it. Damn. That's really.

273
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: I feel like when I wanted defending with the popular kids,

274
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: my personality got me in. That's why I know I

275
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: was funny because I didn't have to close. I didn't

276
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 4: have like the image I was funny looking like a

277
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: little bit, so I was a snagger too to chew

278
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 4: on my my shirt a lot. So it was like

279
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: once my personality got me in, my personality saved my life,

280
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: like who I am, like from jobs and everything, Like

281
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm not good at nothing for real, but like you know,

282
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: I'm saying I'm real because I know, like when I

283
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: say not good at it, because I have seen people

284
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 4: be good at it, so I can say, damn, I

285
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 4: can't do that.

286
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: So like, do you feel like sometimes it's self sabotage,

287
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: you kind of talking yourself out of something that you

288
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: can actually be great at.

289
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, but sometimes you got to understand that

290
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 4: it's just such thing as good and bad, and it's

291
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: okay to standing on the bath side sometimes, Like it's

292
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: okay to recognize like this ain't my thing. That's true, yeah,

293
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: because you can never hoop like Lebron James ever. You

294
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: can't or Age and Wilson exactly right, So you're.

295
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: Bad at it.

296
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: So what I'm trying to say is I feel like

297
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: people try to hide that, and it's okay to admit,

298
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: like who you are, what you stand for, and the

299
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 4: shit I'm good at, I'm gonna speak on it. I'm

300
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: good at that for sure.

301
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is there's no one to use the good.

302
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: So now did I struggle like into the day Like people,

303
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: some people are naturally born with how they brain is set,

304
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 4: and you can make it get better. And I feel

305
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: like my mom, she didn't force me to be better

306
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: in school. She didn't force me to graduate, she didn't

307
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,480

Speaker 3: To get away.

323
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: So how did that make you feel as a child

324
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: knowing I mean that's all I knew that my set.

325
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,760

326
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: up and thinking about my kids.

327
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: Now I'm not thinking about that.

328
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: Like, so, let's just go to school, Like I don't

00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: So and then so.

332
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: But I just feel like I knew I was different

333
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: in demanding because I said I'm gonna graduate, because I

334
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: I was.

335
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: I did the same grade. When I tell you, I

336
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: got held back in first grade. While you laughing, I

337
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: see it because I was like, let me see how

338
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: she gonna take this, y'all.

339
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at you.

340
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: Are you laughing with me? Right?

341
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: You're just so funny. It's what you look at me.

342
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Because I knew it was coming. But I got held

343
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: back in first grade, and they like what he do wrong? Right, MoMA?

344
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: Like what do you do right? So, like.

345
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: Getting her back and stuff like that. It just it

346
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: just makes you not like school. It's just when you're

347
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 4: going through school and people are passing on and like teachers,

348
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: it just you develop a not like for it. So

349
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: but I also just told myself I'm gonna graduate. I

350
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: don't know why I wanted to graduate, but it was

351
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: a challenge. One thing I do like challenges. I said,

352
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: I don't know how I'm graduate, but I'm gonna do it.

353
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: Even when I graduated, I'm still like they're gonna call

354
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: my name. I was still nervous, but I had to

355
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: go to another school. So it was it was I

356
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: graduated because of me, because I could have knopped that

357
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: because my mama didn't care. It was like you older now,

358
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: like whatever you do is do So one thing I

359
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: do like is challenges.

360
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: So that was the challenge that I wanted to.

361
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: Do to get a diploma because I feel like people

362
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 4: think I wasn't gonna get it.

363
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to ask you. You talked

364
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: about the disorder that you have, and it's dyslexia. How

365
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: old were you when you realize something was off, even

366
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: if you didn't have the language to figure out.

367
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: What it was.

368
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: That's a hard question because like when you when it's

369
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: having that, it's hard because you don't know.

370
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: You don't remember numbers.

371
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: Like I was telling my brother that I get anxiety

372
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 4: with words and letters. Honestly, right now, I don't know

Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that I know people

407
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: like Oprah and Tyler have talked about accountants like stealing.

408
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Not in your brother.

409
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,520

Speaker 2: people that you trust.

412
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: And that's why for me, it happens.

413
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: It's important to know.

414
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 4: I wouldn't promote with like, yeah don't know, but I'm

415
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 4: just being real with me. Yeah, I'm just saying you

416
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 4: should know. Yeah, yeah, but I don't want to know

417
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: right now.

418
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Okay, but you're good.

419
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you.

420
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: Were dealing with dyslexy as a as a child, how

421
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: did you ever know children can be cruel and me

422
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: and be bullies. Was there ever a moment in your

423
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: life where you were bullied or were you kind of

424
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: like did you? Were you the kid that like I

425
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: don't ever want to read, like, don't follow.

426
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: Me in class.

427
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: That's what made me become like open and not be

428
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 4: like I know how to match the funny When people

429
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: try to pick on me, that's when I know they

430
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: get it, Like because that came from a funny family,

431
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 4: so you can't, Yeah, you can't. That's where it kicked

432
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 4: in because if I got picked on, I knew how

433
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: to get under your skin, and then you can't really

434
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: you can't mess with nobody.

435
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: That except who they are.

436
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: I just feel like it's hard when some people didn't

437
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: denial or they don't want to face it, and then

438
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: when people pick on you.

439
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 3: About it, it makes you feel bad, so.

440
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: You want to want to wait from it. So somebody

441
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: that can't read, they want to run away from it.

442
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 4: But if I come to the classroom, I be the

443
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 4: one to come to like I can't read, don't pick me.

444
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: I say it for everybody. Yeah, so then it's just like,

445
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: oh but if.

446
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 4: I don't tell him that and they picked me to read,

447
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: and it's like everybody looking like, well you take us

448
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: all long, like you know. And it was a time

449
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: where I'm like, I don't know where we're at, and

450
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: the teacher comes show me right here.

451
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, like, why are you show me? I

452
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: just said I don't know where. I didn't say it.

453
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: I blanked it out. I liked it.

454
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, so yeah, it was just times where I

455
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: tried to get away from things that I was weak

456
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: at and I try to avoid it, but.

457
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: I still have to face it.

458
00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

459
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, got facial problems.

460
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: I love that you even in what somebody made well,

461
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: it is a disability, but you made it a positive,

462
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 2: like you found a way to get ahead of it

463
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: and combat it in a different way, versus allowing people

464
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: to make you feel bad about your circumstance.

465
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: My sister told me it's another word and it's just

466
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 4: such thing.

467
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how to.

468
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 4: Say it, but I looked it up on YouTube and

469
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: some people are to hear other people, and I wonder

470
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 4: I want to get help from her real quick.

471
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: But when you.

472
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 4: Hear other people that have stuff that you go through

473
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: and think how you think you be, like I'm not

474
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 4: the only one not yea, And it makes it makes

475
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: it makes a better feeling.

476
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: And he's thriving.

477
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: But he does conferences where he speaks to children that

478
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: are just and adults. I have a problem, like sometimes

479
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: my numbers get jumbled up, like I'll readon like when

480
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: I see it, like I had to like really focus

481
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: because like I'll start reading it backwards on numbers. But

482
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: the more like I've gotten better, like as an adult

483
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: but like as a child, that was something that I

484
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: did too, so you're not alone in that.

485
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

486
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one of those things where I had

487
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: to like really look at it because my brain would

488
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: be like start back here versus at the top.

489
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, I want to get my

490
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: daughter a tutor right now before she like ever needed. Yeah,

491
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: it's in getting somebody that specialized in that, and you

492
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: got money, the fact that I can afford it to

493
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 4: do it right now so it can help her on

494
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: top of what she already born with.

495
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that. I love that you moved

496
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: to Atlanta. However, when you moved to Atlanta, because Kansas

497
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: City and Atlanta are two different places.

498
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't remember.

499
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 4: It's another number of things, but I know I know

500
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 4: it was like probably nineteen so recently.

501
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, what made you want to come to Atlanta?

502
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: Because I knew I had to grow and I want

503
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: to go somewhere. I was supposed to go to San

504
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: Francisco and my cousin. It was so funny. My cousin,

505
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 4: like I was doing videos and he's like, Yo, you

506
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: can come stay with me.

507
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: He gave me a date.

508
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: So now I'm like talking stuff on Facebook. Yeah, I'm

509
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: about the move, y'all, Like I'm gonna chase my dreams.

510
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: I might go to San Francisco, like yeah, quit my job.

511
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: And then when that day came, they not picking up

512
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: the phone, like they know, they're not picking up the phone.

513
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: And now I'm like, okay, and.

514
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: Give me a job now, and I quit this way. Yeah,

515
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: but God is always working.

516
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: Because I got a random DM and it was just

517
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 4: a stranger in Atlanta, and he was just like, would

518
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 4: you like to move to Atlanta? And I'm like yeah,

519
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 4: And I didn't know him, and he flew me out

520
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: here and I started working with him and just that

521
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: just energy and I didn't know him, and my family

522
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: didn't care. I was like, I'm going to Atlanta. I

523
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: took one bag and I came out here and the

524
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: rest is history.

525
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: I just kept working.

526
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: And the thing is you in life, when you gotta go,

527
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 4: you gotta make sure you complete it. You can get

528
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 4: districted because I met shout out to Ray Daniels. I

529
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: met somebody that was so successful. Ray picked me up,

530
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: Ray Daniels, Ray picked me up. And when I seen

531
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 4: how Ray was living, I remember the dopest thing I

532
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 4: seen him. We was out to dinner. He paid for

533
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 4: everybody dinner, and I said, I can't wait till I

534
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: could do that. Like I was looking like what he's

535
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: paid for everybody, I ain't used to seeing it. I

536
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: like I would have got something better, Like yeah, I

537
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 4: felt like I was like and when he did that,

538
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 4: and just overall just seeing how he moving like sprinters

539
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 4: and all this. And when he sent me down and

540
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: he was like, what do you want? And I said,

541
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 4: I want to work and I want.

542
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 3: To get better.

543
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 4: And he said, what stood out for you, Mark what

544
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: I wanted to work with was you never mentioned money.

545
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: He's like people sitting this chair, but I need money

546
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 4: to get me to this level. And he was just

547
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 4: like the fact that you see in money before your vision. Yes,

548
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: it's hard to work with people like that. So but

549
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 4: when I was with Ray, I'm seeing his lifestyle, his cars,

550
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: his sprinters and now I'm like, now I'm like, I'm

551
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 4: I'm I'm like my town all year, like I'm all,

552
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 4: so now take it pictures like with his cars and

553
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: his house. He like mansion and got my own room

554
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 4: and he like this is the life. I'm like, this

555
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 4: is a life. But I woke up and I was

556
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 4: like this, ain't it like this?

557
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: This his stuff, like you need to get your own and.

558
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: You know, left and I randomly, I don't know how

559
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 4: to distance myself in a good way.

560
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: I didn't leave the best way with me and Ray.

561
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: I just wanted more for me and I started doing that,

562
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: and it's like I just kept and I went through

563
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: all the phases like being homeless again, being in hotels

564
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 4: and leaving like where I could have been at and

565
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 4: having this, but I was just like I got.

566
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: To see it and touch it, so I know I

567
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: can do it.

568
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: So overall, just with me working and now have my

569
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: own house been from the ground.

570
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: It's like it's beautiful.

571
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I never seen myself doing that at all,

572
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: because when you're growing up, your mama just getting apartments

573
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: and then you said I want the house, like, well you.

574
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: Get slept in your mouth, like you ain't getting no house.

575
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: Like so just overall seeing a vision that I never

576
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: got to see growing up. Some things don't make sense,

577
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 4: life don't make sense sometimes, but you just gotta live

578
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: through it and create. So that's the best thing I

579
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 4: like to create. And even with me graduating, I never

580
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 4: seen it happening.

581
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: When I did it. So you gotta understand life.

582
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: You got a blank piece of paper, just write on

583
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: it every day, right, yes, and don't stay on that

584
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: same paper.

585
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 3: Turn it come on.

586
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Yes, that's good.

587
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: Now that you've built your own house from the ground up,

588
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: how's your relationship with your mom?

589
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: And she proud of you?

590
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 4: That's it's still hard to connect with her because my

591
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 4: mama was always like a person.

592
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: It's about me.

593
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: I grew up off a survival and I love so

594
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 4: my mom is a survival mode and I'll be trying

595
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: to help her now, Like like I told her, like,

596
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 4: pack your stuff up. I got you your own apartment

597
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: like out here, and I had it front of it

598
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 4: and she's like, well, I just can't leave.

599
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta do this. I gotta get this

600
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: mail JAVIIH.

601
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, so, it just it kind of like she's

602
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: still in that phase of my mama got to move

603
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: how she sees stuffy and sometimes it don't make sense.

604
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, all it don't matter, Like I just sometimes

605
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 4: you gotta leave some things to get new things. Absolutely,

606
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: so it's hard for me to like have a relationship

607
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 4: with somebody that's trying to keep up with a life

608
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 4: that they see and sometimes life and what you see

609
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 4: is what you make it.

610
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: So it's hard and it sucks.

611
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 4: But I love my mama to death, but it's just

612
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 4: like she's in this place where it's like I just

613
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: gotta like, honestly, I've got to make sure it's It's

614
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: like when you got a mom like that, you just

615
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: got to make sure, like her last day here, you

616
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 4: gotta make it the best day and make sure you

617
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: make sure that it's said because while she here, it's.

618
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: Hard for me to bring her to this world because

619
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: she's stuck in. She's stuck. Yeah.

620
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Literally, Yeah, I'm from a really small town and I

621
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: see it often where people just get stuck in that

622
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: mentality their life and they don't they're really blinded to

623
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 2: or they're not exposed. How when you moved in with Ray,

624
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: you were exposed to something different. We were like, oh wait,

625
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: I can I can do this, I can have this,

626
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 2: And sometimes that's all you believe it. If they've never

627
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: been exposed, they can't see past where they are.

628
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's hard, and it's a system because she

629
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 4: only doing what her mama did. It's the food stamps

630
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: government assistant and then it's just like food stamps get

631
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: like section eight and then when you see that, it's

632
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: like you don't see more. It's a bitious cycle and

633
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 4: it's like why would I move and rent thirty two dollars?

634
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 4: And that's one reason like me and my first child

635
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: mother didn't work out because my mama was like, yo,

636
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: you can move out here, like get food stamps in

637
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: like my she gave her the plan and then she

638
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 4: like okay, and then I'm like all right, you know,

639
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 4: I moved in with her. Me and my baby mama

640
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: stand together, but I'm like, all right, let's get jobs

641
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: now and then. But you can't make a certain amount

642
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 4: of money, so she like yeah, So she like I

643
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 4: ain't ready to get no job, so I was, so

644
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: I had to move on from that. So me and

645
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 4: my first baby mama didn't work out because yeah, she

646
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: was you were like this before.

00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I seen it's.

00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: Okay to like have that the open door, but let

Speaker 4: somebody else enjoy the food step section like just don't yeah,

650
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 4: just don't sit on it, like let that be a

651
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 4: stepping stone and move on. But I feel like some

652
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 4: people get comfortable, like me, I was working out a

653
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,120

658
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: are all feelings because we can't get jobs. So when

659
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,640

Speaker 3: got to go on up out of here too. Well. Yeah,

663
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying old raw. It's like when you

664
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 3: grow up, you just think those jobs are it like

665
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: they put you.

666
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: And I ain't gonna lie. It depends where you're from too,

667
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: cause I'm from Kansas City. A lot of you know,

668
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of whites with the successful jobs

669
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: and airports and then all the black people in warehouses

670
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 4: like we put up underground working. But when I came

671
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: to Atlanta, I'm like, y'all got black people at.

672
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: The airport working. I never seen that before.

673
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 4: So I never seen like so many like black people

674
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: have successful jobs because where I come from. But I've

675
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: seen out here Atlanta is so beautiful because it gives

676
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: opportunity to a lot of people, and it's like, we

677
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: don't discriminate.

678
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: This is yeah, so, but some people do.

679
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: But it's still it'll give you more dreams and open

680
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 4: it up that you can do your own thing.

681
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: That's so true.

682
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: You started with doing pranks in the story. What was

683
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: that video that changed everything for you where you're like,

684
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: wait a minute, we've got something.

685
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: When I came up with a strategy of using artist

686
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 4: lyrics and they started with posting it, so it was

687
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 4: promotion for their songs. Yes, So I started doing that

688
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 4: and artists were posting it.

689
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: And then.

690
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: Ray he's seen that and he got me a deal

691
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 4: with record label. So it's like, all right, a little

692
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 4: baby about to drop a song, go do the Walmart

693
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: video and run up on people and then drop it

694
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: at the same time to promote it. And it was

695
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: making like, you know, a Walmart video was making like

696
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: twenty thousand. Wow, Like each video I'm just going in

697
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 4: there and I'm just it's.

698
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: Like you know, and I'm just in there working there.

699
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: You learn, you learn the business too, because like Ray

700
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: was setting up deals in there, I'm thinking like, okay,

701
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: I got twenty thousand, and then he had to take

702
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: his percentage.

703
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 3: I don't know math. I'm like, what is that? Right?

704
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: And I'm like, where's the twenty thousand.

705
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 4: Like my Percentagecause you know what I'm saying, he worked

706
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: and he's putting deals and taking this time.

707
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: So that's stuff to learn that too. So I'm like,

708
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: I didn't know nothing about percentages. Right.

709
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: That's another good question because I have a team and

710
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: that is a part of the business for their percentage,

711
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: but they're bringing so much to the table. What are

712
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: some of the lessons that you learned, even in business

713
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: and financial that as you continue to rise.

714
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 4: I mean, now, let the government shutting down about to

715
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: forget how much money I got.

716
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: Like billionaires sell asset. Something is happening. I don't know

717
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: what it is, but I'm seeing people.

718
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: Sell stuff I learned for business, like ask for help

719
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: and it's okay to get help and don't go looking

720
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: for it, but as ask God and he gonna send

721
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: it to you. I was asking for help and I

722
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: was looking for it, and I found some people that

723
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have run into. But I started finding my

724
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: team once I started doing me And I tell like

725
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: my friends, I feel like a lot of people are

726
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: in the phase that I need help, But you got

727
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: to ask yourself.

728
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: You got if you set yourself up right, people will

729
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: want to work for you.

730
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: So I feel like you got to ask yourself, like

731
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: if I see my company where I quit my job

732
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 4: to go work for you, so you'll be like nah,

733
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: Because I mean I was asking for help while I

734
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 4: was doing Walmart videos, I'm like, well, why would somebody

735
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 4: quit their life and come work for me? But now

736
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: that I started adding more to my life, it's like, oh,

737
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 4: I love to work for you, you know. And same

738
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: thing like with ju Ski, like he has a great

739
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 4: program where you see how he moving, and if you

740
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: say I need an assistance, it's like, I'm ready to

741
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 4: work for.

742
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: You because what he got set up.

743
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: So I feel like sometimes people are trying to stop

744
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: what they got right now, just keep going to let

745
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: it grow and everybody you need gonna come and work

746
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: for you. It's like you gotta build your your image,

747
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: of your or your brain.

748
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: That's so true.

749
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: You built a whole style around pauses intention Like you'll

750
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: just sit there and stare like you did earlier when

751
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: you said you had to repeat.

752
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: The first grade.

753
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: You just when did you realize that silence could hit

754
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: harder than a punchline.

755
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: Oh, when the teacher used to call me to read

756
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: and I just had to sit there and I look

757
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: at her.

758
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: I was then started when she like.

759
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Is it crazy?

760
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: Hell? Like yeah, and.

761
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 4: Then look at her like you know, I can't. So

762
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: it started from that instilling too. I'm still in a lie.

763
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: You get caught, you.

764
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 4: Just gotta look at him. So a lot of it

765
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: came from that, like cause I ain't good at lying.

766
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: So it really started from like you know that, like

767
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: all right, and when I used to do all my

768
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 4: videos and I say some crazy stuff I knew I

769
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: was saying. So I knew I like because I used

770
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: to talk to customers normal, what is this two paste?

771
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: And it's really good for your teeth and it's you.

772
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: Know, it has no blah blah blah blah blah. And

773
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: then I'll just say a young Miami lyric and then

774
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 4: it's just.

775
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: Like that said, you said what so people think.

776
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: I was on drugs when I was doing not videos

777
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: and then I was dressing like a good Will clothes

778
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: on and everything.

779
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: So overall, just sitting in that moment, Yeah, just sitting

780
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: in that moment something like good or bad. So that's

781
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: where it came from.

782
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: I love it, Like, all right, no, I'm telling you.

783
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: I watch your videos and those pauses, I was just

784
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: die laughing, Like it's just it's so much that's not said.

785
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: We call it an inner monologue in acting, but it's

786
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: so much through the silence that like literally makes everybody laugh. Yeah,

787
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: it's genius.

788
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: I love it.

789
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: Your Your videos almost feel like experiments, like how have

790
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: you seen in the evolution of starting in the stores

791
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: doing pranks to where you are now with full productions.

792
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 4: I honestly just got her full production like what two

793
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: months ago?

794
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, with wave and but I had people helping me.

795
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: But the thing is, when people was helping me and

796
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: they come on ideas, I wasn't listening and I wasn't

797
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: taking advice, and I was so ready to put out

798
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 4: content it was hurting me. And even on my podcast,

799
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: I'm shooting it, I'm dropping when we've done editing, like

800
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: I'm dropping clips when I feel like it. I was

801
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: so urgent, I didn't let the build up and let

802
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 4: it be like, let's come up with the proper plan,

803
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: like we posted that eight o'clock, you post that three

804
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: Even when I did the Nicki Minaj interview. She was like,

805
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: all right, we did an interview. I want to see

806
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 4: every clip. I want to see everything. I'm so urgent

807
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 4: I put that reel out. Yeah, yes she did.

808
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: She comment on that.

809
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: She was like, she was like, I didn't approve this,

810
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: and she was like, and the interview might not come

811
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: out now, like she said it on.

812
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: There, everybody's like and I'm like, yeah, so.

813
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Did you take it down?

814
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 4: Because her team resounds said thank god it was a

815
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 4: good clip that she did, but if it was something

816
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: she didn't like, and I was just so urgent to

817
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 4: get it out. Is because I'm like, oh, I'm seeing

818
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 4: Conston that clips because she did continent right to that,

819
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 4: so his clips are going everywhere. Yeah I need to

820
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: get it like yeah yeah, I'm like, yeah, I need

821
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: to get in there and get something too. So so

822
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 4: over even that when you look at certain people like

823
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 4: don't worry about their success, like let her be there,

824
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 4: because you can hurt yours trying.

825
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: To watch theirs.

826
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: So it was the word Marco.

827
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, some people get you know, it's okay to

828
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 4: get motivated, but when you're trying to keep up with somebody.

829
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: You can hurt.

830
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: You just get motivated. Understand, Yes, it's stay time and

831
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 4: your time will come.

832
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: And if it don't come, it don't. It didn't come.

833
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: Exactly What did you learn in that moment with her

834
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: up and putting the video out and then Nikki going

835
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 2: off like, what.

836
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: Did that teacher?

837
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 3: I can run relationships? Mmmm? Yeah.

838
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: Even her saying that comment, people like, oh, I ain't

839
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 4: going if you don't listen. So I'm not used to

840
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 4: people when I do interviews, I'm not used to people

841
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: saying I need to watch it because nothing happens, or

842
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: I make sure I know what I talk about. But again,

843
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 4: when you are talking, you know, women are differently. I

844
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: like this angle, I like this, like I don't want

845
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: to like I don't like that.

846
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. They like that shot. So

847
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: I got to understand that everything and about me and

848
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: what I want.

849
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's maturity and girl, I love that, and it's important,

850
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: especially in our industry. We like we have other people's

851
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: images we have to worry about. It's not it isn't

852
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 2: just about us. And then the professionalism, and you also

853
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: said you had a team that was giving you ideas,

854
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: but you weren't listening. Have you been able to like

855
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: get a team that you actually listen to.

856
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: Now, I'm learning to listen. Now.

857
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: That's good, yeah, because you are the creative.

858
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 2: But it's also good to like have a strong team

859
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: that can pour it to you as well, so you're

860
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: not caring the load on yourself.

861
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

862
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. I'm learning that. I'm learning. He ain't

863
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: looking convincing.

864
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: No, I'm learning. I'm learning a lot now.

865
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 4: And you got to sit back and you got to

866
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: let them create and understand this is what you've been

867
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: asking for.

868
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: And I learned that from Steve Harvey.

869
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: He says, sometimes people ask for a car, ask for

870
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: new things while I broke down cars in a driveway.

871
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: Pull that out, get that garbage. I accept a new car.

872
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Right.

873
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: I was asking for a lot, but I wasn't ready

874
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: to receive it.

875
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: That's the real thing recently.

876
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say what I prayed for, but I

877
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: prayed for something and then I said, God, this is

878
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 2: what I'm ready for if you feel I'm ready for it.

879
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 2: Because a lot of times, like you said, we think

880
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: we're ready for something and then it comes and we

881
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 2: blow it.

882
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I wasn't ready for that.

883
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: So now I'm like, if you think and when you

884
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: think I'm ready, didn't bring it.

885
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: But this is what my heart wants right now.

886
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: So that is so true. What is one of the

887
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: biggest lessons you learned so far that you.

888
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: Can think of?

889
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: Besides because I feel like that was a big lesson

890
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: with Nikki, But is there anything else that stands out

891
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: that you were like that was a big lesson?

892
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 4: I mean a big lesson is it's it's hard to

893
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: when you passionate about something and you feel like it

894
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 4: ain't going how you want it to go. But oro's

895
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 4: like every day matters when you putting something towards your dreams.

896
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 4: And that's the another thing I talked to my brother

897
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 4: about here designer and he got dope ideas and I

898
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 4: see the vision, like you can be the biggest but

899
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 4: the world got to see it.

900
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 3: A lot of people work hard, but they don't show

901
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: the world that they work hard.

902
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: And now people are coming more successful when people seeing

903
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: the work, yeah, and they like they become the fan

904
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 4: and people love to be like I remember when I

905
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: was there, when.

906
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 3: You was you know, you got them people.

907
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 4: And you don't know how to feel sometimes because I

908
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 4: don't know how to take it because some people like man,

909
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 4: I used to watch you and what you mean while

910
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 4: you stop so but but again it's still like they

911
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 4: were part of the journey and some people just grow.

912
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 3: Like you know, it's some shows you used to watch

913
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: that you don't watch no more.

914
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: That's so true.

915
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I used to watch Power when they

916
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 4: came out, but now I'm like, now T watch But

917
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 4: he's like, why you're not watching?

918
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: It's like so, but it's like, it's okay because you

919
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 3: got new fans there too.

920
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: So again, except that you're gonna lose people in your

921
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: own game people, so I got to accept that, just

922
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 4: understanding it's gonna.

923
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: Be some people that grow away from you.

924
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: That's so true.

925
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: You said the biggest part of comedy is reading the room.

926
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 2: What is one of the lessons you learned just because

927
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: you've been in many rooms? What is something that you

928
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: learned from people just by just sitting and watching.

929
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: That's a good thing.

930
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: Reading the room is important, and sometimes you can probably

931
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: say I don't belong in this room, and sometimes you

932
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: can create a spot in that room. So it's up

933
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 4: to you to like figure that out in some rooms

934
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 4: I've been like, I need to create a spot in here,

935
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 4: even doing stand up DESI allow me. He gave me

936
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 4: a spot to open up, and that was my no experience.

937
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 4: It was just the fact that I bought my ticket,

938
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 4: I flew out there and got my own hotel. If

939
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: you did that, they come, and I kept telling himself,

940
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: I was I want to come. Yeah, And when he

941
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 4: allowed me to go on stage and I felt it

999
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: I did a podcast and it was a different type

1000
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 4: of set and different type of fan base. And no

1001
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 4: matter how much I seen good, I seen the bad.

1002
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: And it's no way for you to be able to

1003
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 4: read that. It's like sometimes if it's like okay, I

1004
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 4: can take this and change it. It makes you better.

1005
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 4: But they were saying some stuff like I disagree with

1006
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 4: but I was only read that and installing it to me.

1007
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: So I said, let me get out of this. You

1008
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

1009
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 4: It's already done, and they gonna have an opinion whatever

1010
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 4: they type, they already say that, and they are a

1011
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 4: viewer and that's their job to say how they feel.

1012
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 3: That's why comments are such thing that's.

1013
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: Real unless we open ourselves up to so we open

1014
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: our mouths.

1015
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't read no comments. If you start making it

1016
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 4: and it gets you, just don't read it. Read a

1017
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 4: little bit right when they posts. I like to read

1018
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: the beginning comments because it'd be nice after a hunting

1019
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 4: is like yeah yeah, so I like, yeah, as long

1020
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 4: as you get five good comments.

1021
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: I did something good.

1022
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 4: Yes, just read like five good ones that get out

1023
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: of there because you'll be stuck in there and then

1024
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: you start to think, you know, and then you know

1025
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 4: it was comments. Like with my skin journey, it was like,

1026
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 4: you know, it wasn't the best, but people made me

1027
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 4: feel bad. And it's like, okay, I start wearing makeup.

1028
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 4: Then I start wearing makeup. I'm covering up who I am.

1029
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 4: It's like now he wears makeup. So no, no matter

1030
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 4: what they say, you try to fix it now, Like

1031
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 4: even with my skin now it's like they try to

1032
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 4: like you know, what is he doing now?

1033
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 3: What is he getting surgery? Not giving?

1034
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: So no matter what, it's like, you gotta understand you

1035
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: are somebody that they're gonna have a pick that's a

1036
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 4: public figure where they gonna have good and bad.

1037
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: Things said about you, and you just got to know

1038
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: who you are, know who you are, and whatever you do,

1039
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 2: do it for yourself.

1040
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: Because that I mean, I think all of us can

1041
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: attest to that. We all have flaws and things.

1042
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: That we want to fix, and we hear people like

1043
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: for me, even for me, like my weight fluctuates, so

1044
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: people are always talking about my weight and they can't

1045
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: get to you if you're reading the comments.

1046
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: To stay out of those comments. Yeah, stay out of it.

1047
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 2: So I totally get that, and I'll tell you, like

1048
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: I tell myself, do what makes you happy. You know

1049
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Whatever it is, and that's not something

1050
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: that you can help, you know what I'm saying.

1051
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: Like your skin is not something you can just manage.

1052
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so that's fix it. I can do

1053
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 3: my best.

1054
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: That's all you can do. Yeah, yeah, that's so.

1055
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: And that's for somebody else who may be dealing with

1056
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: some type of insecurity or something that they may want

1057
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: to change or can't help.

1058
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: Just do what you can do for you and not

1059
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: the opinions of others. For sure, I love that.

1060
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: You had so many opportunities and so many deals. I'm sure,

1061
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: is there a deal that you can really said no to?

1062
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: And it was the best know that you can because

1063
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you like, oh yeah, I really want.

1064
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: To say yes.

1065
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 3: But it was a movie role I had and they

1066
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: said the character was yeah, but we don't know.

1067
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 4: You have no gender, you don't like nothing, you don't

1068
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 4: know what you like, and I'm like, I'm okay, yeah,

1069
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 4: like and overall.

1070
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 3: It's somebody out there that would love that. Bro.

1071
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 4: So now I don't want to take something for money

1072
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 4: because I'm uncomfortable with it, but it's somebody out there

1073
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 4: that I would love the money in that position, but

1074
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 4: I didn't want to lead into nothing that didn't make

1075
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 4: me feel comfortable.

1076
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 3: And they're not wrong for offering it to me. But

1077
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: give it to somebody that I love it and they

1078
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 3: can commit to that.

1079
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, But just to say, like, I'm reading the script

1080
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 4: and I'm going in and it was like, tell me

1081
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 4: more about this character.

1082
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 3: It's like, but you don't have a gender you like,

1083
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: And I'm like, so there's.

1084
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: People out there that don't like anybody's fluid where you like.

1085
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm just saying certain stuff can lead into something else.

1086
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 4: Because if it's serious, it's like okay, now you like yeah,

1087
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 4: so it's like, oh raw, It's like I didn't want

1088
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 4: to figure out. I didn't want to find out, you

1089
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, And let me do a role

1090
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 4: that even if it's not me, Like I can grow

1091
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: into that road, but that's not something I want to

1092
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: grow into. But let me not stop somebody else that

1093
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 4: would love that role. So I feel like sometimes in

1094
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 4: this spotlight and who you are, they're giving stuff away

1095
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 4: to people just because of the following. Absolutely, and that's

1096
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 4: like no difference for people that's doing stand up. It's

1097
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 4: people out there that's that's great comedians, but they'll have

1098
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,759

00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: how much money can you bring us?

1105
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they look at followers as dollars now yeah, yeah,

1106
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: that is so true. Maybe that's something that you can

1107
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: do on your stand up like breaks, figure.

1108
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 4: Out who those I try to get people open, like

00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: Open Thoughts started online as an online idea and now

1114
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 2: is in full production with Wave. Your second season just dropped.

1116
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,839

1117
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 2: That's amazing approaching this new season. How did you approach

1118
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: it differently?

1119
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 3: Getting help? Now it's a team. We have team meetings. Now.

1120
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 4: I got to show up, I gotta talk, and I

1121
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 4: got to learn to put my pride to a side

1122
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 4: because sometimes I'm like, that's not funny, and I try

1123
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 4: to tell them, but I gotta learn, like even take

1124
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 4: the challenge, even if I don't think it's funny.

1125
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 3: It's my job to make it funny. And that's no

1126
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 3: difference from Kevin Hart.

1127
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 4: They got a script before he probably, but let me

1128
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 4: say that Kevin Hart way, yeah, and now it's funny yet.

1129
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: So that's something I gotta do.

1130
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 4: And now, as you know, talking to you and me

1131
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: saying it, I gotta stand on that because I'd be

1132
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 4: so picky like nah nah, and.

1133
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: Also too, I mean credit yourself.

1134
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: You are the brand, you know, and God bless you

1135
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: with this gift and talent to know what it's true

1136
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: to yourself. So yes, take on ideas, but also staying

1137
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 2: true if it doesn't sit well, you have to say

1138
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: trigger who you are because that's what people love, you know.

1139
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: So I get that.

1140
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, But and also you got to accept the challenge too,

1141
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 4: because again that thing that I thought one funny was

1142
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 4: probably gonna be the biggest moment.

1143
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people.

1144
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: Like God gives everybody different ideas. If we all thought

1145
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: the same would be so boring. Yeah, you know, yeah,

1146
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: because that's something that Weston is trying to come up

1147
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 2: with that I may have not even thought of them, Like,

1148
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Yes, I never thought of that, you know,

1149
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: and it ends up being huge.

1150
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: So that's so important. I love the You're becoming a muggul.

1151
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: Do you understand that?

1152
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: No, you really are.

1153
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: Yes, like all the different brands, you got podcasts, you

1154
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: have a tour now, like these are things that you're

1155
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: building brand partnerships, having those meetings and be able to

1156
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 2: get people like jobs.

1157
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah it feel good, I.

1158
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 2: Know it does. Yeah, there's a lot of responsibility that

1159
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: comes with it, but it is definitely rewarding. Yeah, yeah,

1160
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: I love that you said that every conversation teaches you something.

1161
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 2: What is something that you've learned from someone? I know

1162
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: you speak of Steve Harvey and Kevin Hart. What is

1163
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: something that you've taken away from them?

1164
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a lot.

1165
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 4: Because I listened on podcasts positive messages and warning a lot.

1166
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 3: I have took it a lot.

1167
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: I also, let me see, what's the best one I

1168
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 4: can tell people like, I haven't picked up but it's

1169
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 4: so much.

1170
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: And oh, that's a good question.

1171
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 4: I wasn't And that's like even I got to sit

1172
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 4: back and I watched that I think it was on

1173
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 4: Huluhu and I watched the Tyler Perry.

1174
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 3: Story like that.

1175
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 4: And when I watched that, I learned so much And

1176
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 4: it was just like from the place when you feel

1177
00:48:58,520 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 4: like they didn't do that, like the grind.

1178
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 3: The grind is so beautiful. Yes, Like the grind is beautiful.

1179
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 4: And when you get to go back and look at

1180
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 4: it and you say, this is my documentary, it's everything.

1181
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 4: But some people stop the documentary because that one stop.

1182
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 4: But again, that was supposed to be a part. Like

1183
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 4: that was the headache that people are like, oh, you

1184
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 4: made it through that. Yes, Yeah, the iverson laying this

1185
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 4: on it, like which is everybody talking about and what

1186
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 4: he been through?

1187
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 3: So I feel like.

1188
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 4: Sometimes we got to understand that ugly. I appreciate the

1189
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 4: ugly to get to the good, Like the ugliest is

1190
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 4: the best party. And just to say I had an

1191
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 4: ugly moment I had to learn, Like when I first

1192
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 4: started my season, I had, I had an ugly situation,

1193
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 4: but that woke me up and made me a better

1194
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 4: person through my first season of my show when I

1195
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: started doing interviews and I needed that.

1196
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 3: I needed that. So now I'm moving forward.

1197
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 4: We're reading, reading contracts, we're doing stuff like we're not

1198
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 4: rushing it and we getting on the same page.

1199
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

1200
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 2: That is so good.

1201
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: You recently started using your real name, Yeah, Marco Summers.

1202
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: What was the shift? What happened? Were you like, No,

1203
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: I need people to know who I am. I don't

1204
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: want to just be funny Marco of.

1205
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 3: The challenge challenge everybody is.

1206
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 4: When you think of comedians, you got Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle,

1207
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 4: Kevin Hark, Bernie Mac Yes, Jemmie Fox not his real name,

1208
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 4: Jammi Fox. You're wrong for that, but he the only

1209
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 4: one that's probably making it through, like Martin Lawrence. So

1210
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 4: you think about that, people known by their name. Yeah,

1211
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 4: and then just for me to have funny in front

1212
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 4: of it. It's like, let me let me mold and

1213
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 4: get the respect that this is Marco Summers and it

1214
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be easy because some people, like they don't

1215
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 4: look at my page. My engagement had went down like

1216
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 4: it was a lot. Yeah, it was a lot, just

1217
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 4: changing that because it's like you're so used to seeing this.

1218
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 4: It's no difference from bad Wall signed it changed. His

1219
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 4: name is Sean mal so you understand it where I'm

1220
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 4: bigger than that, Like I'm a real life person.

1221
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: So it was that I was just letting people know,

1222
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 3: like I'm ready for that challenge because I got to

1223
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: earn that respect too. I gotta earn it to be okay.

1224
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 4: It's keep going and I'm thankful to still have viral

1225
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 4: moments and still be funny with this name carrying on.

1226
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, you know, and just believe in God because

1227
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: he's gonna work for you as you're working.

1228
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Come on, now you're preaching, y'all. I love it.

1229
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,479
Speaker 2: Now you talk about staying grounded and protecting your peace.

1230
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: What does that look like for you? Because I'm really

1231
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: big on.

1232
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: Protecting my peace.

1233
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 4: Talking about protecting peace, my piece is unlimited. I feel

1234
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 4: like it can't. It goes through so much.

1235
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 3: I got one time.

1236
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 4: I feel like I got one time a month to

1237
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 4: get upset or get mad. And I start learning, like,

1238
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 4: don't give everybody your energy that make you upset. Just

1239
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 4: imagine somebody out there that's getting upset by everything. I

1240
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 4: went to McDonald's. They got my coffee roll, I'm driving.

1241
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 3: They cut me off.

1242
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 4: Now I'm at work, huh, I'm at work. I just

1243
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 4: got a call from the school. My son acting bad,

1244
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 4: like your home.

1245
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 3: Huh. I gotta go to the grocery store.

1246
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 4: Just listen to all that, all this to one day,

1247
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 4: and it's draining you. And sometimes you gotta accept that

1248
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 4: we're living. So if you're living, you're gonna have to

1249
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,640

1336
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,560

00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 4: had a learner show and they gave me a theater.

1338
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 4: Theaters are different, So I gotta work on my promotion

1339
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,640

1340
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,480

Speaker 3: So me, I'm like, I don't come into Atlanta. People

1343
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 3: will show up.

1344
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 4: But when you got a business and people are opening

1345
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 4: and they hold theater for you and they paying their employees,

1346
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,920
