<v Speaker 1>to be cooking me today?

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I call this my shrimp fried ramen noodles. Okay, all

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>right now, this dish man, I was, you know, this

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>is like when I first started cooking, right, It's like

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that I used to practice cooking,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>because noodles give you like a good base, and so

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you could like doctor them up and learn how to

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, like really set your taste buds off with noodles.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Really was noodles and eggs, so like different kind of

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>alets and different kind of noodles was like how I

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>learned how to put stuff together. And you could use

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that kind of technique on any food. Yeah, you know

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, Just you know, you gotta have a

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>base and a way to season it up.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, when you said ramen, I usually actually, anytime

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess is romen because it is the number one

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>broke to broke dish uh in period. So every time

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>romy comes up, I'm like, unless you're doing something crazy

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>with it, is not welcome on the show. Come try again,

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>give me another dish. But I was really I had

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a low bar set for you in my mind, and

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>then you came here and you're pulling seasonings and you're

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>choosing sauces, and I said, oh, snap, he's really about

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>to cook for me. So this is this is legit.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So since it's legit, move on up out to see it.

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Get in the kitchen. All right, all right, So what

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I like to do is I like to start with

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>my little bass so like I'm my little shrimp sauce.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, so I do like you don't start boiling the

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>water versus.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I guess I can't start boiling the water.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>My bad. This is an electric stuff I usually got

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:52.560

<v Speaker 2>little shrimp, you know, and I would sneak a couple

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know, yeah, like make my little I love

<v Speaker 2>I still do to this day.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I hate making.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I hate making rice.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why that it alone.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I like to manipulate, you know what I'm saying. I like,

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I like to cook, and.

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I hate making. You know what I hate making worse

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>than rice is the jasmine rice. I'd be so nervous.

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna mess it up.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Man. My wife is that's her. That's her department, the rice.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>So when they want rice, I'm adding this shrimp. These

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>are the little baby shrimp. These are little shrimp abortions.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know where these shrimps. Shrimp never staw

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the light a day, you know what I'm saying. These

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>trimp ain't lived with fifteen to twenty minutes.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how they devein. Those little baby shrimps.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>They ain't got no vein. These are shrimps.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like peel it and stuff.

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Ohous, some little shrimp embryo. These ain't never.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So you up in here, saltage. This is definitely not

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>what I imagined eating ramen with you would look like. Really,

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that you're saying that we're not gonna

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:16.800

<v Speaker 1>Though, when I go to Detroit, my ignorant self is

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.520

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>show me, where eight mile is and he'll just point

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and be like, there it is.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>any siblings, right, I'm coming home from school.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Single parent, household.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Single parent man. My mom was single, you know.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.839
<v Speaker 1>But both parents were in your life.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know, like you know, my dad was

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>doing his thing. He was across town. He was in

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a place called Brightmore. I'm making this dish. I'm in

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 2>sixth grade right at this point, I'm walking to school

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 2>or taking the city bus. You know, I got a

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 2>food stamp. I go to the corner store, give me

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five cent pack of gum or a twenty

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>five cent bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos.

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>You could do that with food stamps. Back then, I

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>thought food stamps was only was limited more than because

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that was.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:45.360

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 2>five cent real back. Put fifty cent on the bus.

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.080

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>have seen he put a little bit of corn in there,

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like a like a mouthful.

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.079

<v Speaker 2>that we do. I don't want to spoil everybody, you

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying.

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.439

<v Speaker 2>It was like our real soap opera. You know what

<v Speaker 2>for him. And it just became like, you know, then

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I started roasting people because people was into that. They

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to see me roast people. And I started

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 2>to kind of like almost like you know, I just

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 2>learned how to how to kind of fall into that

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 2>acceptance for myself, like I liked how it felt. I

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 2>liked how it felt when people thought I was funny,

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I would I would start, people will

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>start saying like, man, you should be a comedian even

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 2>when he was kids, right, and it's like that's like

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>positive reinforcement. That's why I don't let nobody speak bullshit

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 2>over my kids. You know what I'm saying, Like, you know,

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.359
<v Speaker 2>it's only possibilities, right, you know, I they and gymnastis

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you could be a gymnast. Because it was little stuff

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 2>like that that was like I'm asking my mom, you know,

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.719
<v Speaker 2>for like Richard Pryor tapes and Eddie Murphy tapes. She's

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>so excited because that's her level of comedy. She likes that.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>So me and her and my dad, we would you know,

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I would watch it with my dad. I watch it

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>with my mom. I would get tapes for Christmas. You know.

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>But this is while you were young.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I was young, young, nine years old, and so because

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I first started being funny in like fourth grade, that

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>was that was when it started to really hit. Like

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>that's when I started being like ooh, I was at

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a new school. I had just left left a private

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>school and went to a public school, so the curriculum

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>was like super easy, and it was just like I

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>got enough time to be fooling around and I started

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>making kids laugh a lot.

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>But you weren't would you consider itself like a class

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>clown funny or were you just.

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Like so, I wanted to be class clown bad right?

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I remember, I remember one time I went to

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 2>this new school for eighth grade. It was a school

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>for the gift that we have this meat test in

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Michigan in the seventh grade. And I took my meat

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>test and I got a ninety eight percent on I

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>was super smart, you know. And so they moved me

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to a school kind of like for the gifted. And

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I was there for one year and I won class clown,

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and I was just it was just important to me

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 2>that I got a class clown, because you know, it's

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>just like you hear about the mock election, and that's

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 2>what you want to be. You know what I'm saying.

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be class clown. Looking back, that's stupid,

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying a little bit.

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think so?

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, I get it, I trust me.

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I was a class I was voted class loudest, but yeah,

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>basically class clown. I mean, all the teachers signed my

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>yearbooks like please, whatever you do, don't get into the

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>entertainment business and go to college. And of course I

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't really take their advice, but whatever, so I think

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>they knew. I went to college for like two years

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and then I dropped out. But I dropped out to

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>pursue a company that I was building.

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>At the beause. You know how you like some of

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>your onions to be a little crisp.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I like all my onions to be grilled, but mixing.

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>With the with the so you had a little crunch

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>to them too.

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what the corn is for.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>The corn is not for the crunk.

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>The corn has an extra texture to him.

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, how do these shrimp smell to you?

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Everything smells good. I see a lot of white onion

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in there, though, so I'm nervous for you. By the way,

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm very honest about the dish. So if it's like okay,

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>wun be like okay.

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel I was in sixth grade, God Jesus Christ, great, but.

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought you could make us now.

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I make this now with bigger shrimp. You know what

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, and a different kind of ions. But this

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 2>is all a sauce. Still don't remember. I still got

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to pour some water in there.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I love how authentically real you're keeping this dish. So

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm judging sixth grade CP right now.

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is this is what he was doing. Okay

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 2>about this little cholesterol he was so?

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So is your parents supporting the idea of you

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>wanting to become a comic or are you voicing it yet.

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Officially supporting it? For sure? Okay, I'm starting to add.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>You sound like my daughter when you said that's what

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we say in my house all the time.

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, my grand dad used to say that that's

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>my mom. Pick that ship up.

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So they're supporting it. You're watching the the tapes of

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>all the iconic comedians. Is there any particular comedian that

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you identified with the most at that time?

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Growing up? Ed Murphy at that time? Right, I think

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that Richard Pryor was a little freer than I think

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I was ready to be at that time. You know

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, Just you know, as a young person,

0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what the hell is going on? He talking

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>about all kind of crazy shit? You know what? I'm saying.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So it was like, you know, Eddie Murphy was cool though,

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Like you know what I'm saying, Like women wanted to

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 2>fuck Eddie Murphy and dudes wanted to be him at

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the same time. You dudes, we wasn't really hating on Eddie,

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Look like it's gonna be wet, right, But yeah, it

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.679
<v Speaker 1>looks extra liquidity, almost like a soup. But but you

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>said there's gonna be just noodles in there, So this

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>is right. Okay, So what's the next milestone for you?

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Middle school? High school? What age do you actually leave Detroit.

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 2>College? Oh?

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Did you go to college?

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I went to college.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Now you go to college. What do you go

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 1>to college for? If you were trying to be a comedian?

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the thing, like, you don't actually think you

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>can be a comedian, right, it doesn't start like that.

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.479
<v Speaker 1>So you had you done any shows or anything before college?

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>So you just went straight from high school to college.

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I went straight from high school, toky, I had done

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 2>know comedy shows. I would do stuff in school, right,

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.479
<v Speaker 2>I was a part of the drama club, right, so

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I would like, you know, do plays in school and

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.439
<v Speaker 2>they would be hilarious. You know, people come down for

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the for the assembly and they watch them. You know

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I was killing them in those you know, I was

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 2>in the drama.

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>At that point. Did you know what it would take

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to be a comedian?

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Not at all? And as a matter of fact, like

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I said, I wasn't even I didn't win class clown

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 2>in twelfth grade, which hurt my feelings. My friend still

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 2>laughing at me to this day. I was really hurt.

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Like I got home from school and I was like

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 2>punching the air, like, uh, like he would get a

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>junior Are you serious?

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>It was that important to.

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>That important to me? But you know I wasn't. I

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 2>was in all honors classes, and you know those kids,

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 2>they saw more in me than to be class clown.

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, fuck, y'all, I want to be class clown.

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 1>But what did did you get voted something?

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Know?

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you get like.

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Class voted anything? Oh?

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you went home pissed.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I was pissed, Like wow, but I was cool with everybody,

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 2>but I wasn't best dressed, you know what I'm saying.

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Like my mom, you know she was, she was doing

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 2>her best. You know what I'm saying like, I mean,

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 2>one time she bought me this, this race car jacket.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 2>It was really popular back in the day, the race car.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>They'd be like cheerios and you know what I'm talking about.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>First day I got it word to school, a nigga

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 2>robbed me. What gunpoint?

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Gunpoint at what you were in high school?

0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Chool? Oh?

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Detroit's dangerous, man. I'm sorry. Like even even like

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch like the Detroit News channel on social media,

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>which is probably the wrong thing to watch. But all

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 1>you see is like the Coney Island horror stories and stuff.

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Add a little bit of hot sauce.

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Mmm, did were you afraid to tell your mom about

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the jacket?

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 2>A little bit? I'm sorry. We got a few different

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 2>kinds of hot sauces and a damn we just use

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of this about you. I usually use

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Frank's hot sauce back in the day.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, is that why you were looking at that?

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>By the way, uh, if CP ever goes to your house,

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.479
<v Speaker 1>he does check expiration dates on all food, just so

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 2>We be we be out here killing ourselves in old

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 2>ass peanut butters and ship We don't need that. We

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>check your day.

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 1>You don't die from that.

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>You know that right, got slow? You don't die that day.

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>My rule, as long as there's no mold and as

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 1>long as you can eat around the mold, you're safe.

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I know. That's old school. That's very old school. That's

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 2>old school. That's like back when that's like famine. That's

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>like you ever watched Walking Dead and they just walk

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>up in somebody house and started taking their talent afs

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>like any people died two years ago, you know what

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. But it's like at that point.

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>You would actually think that though, what about that they

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>died two years ago before you take the tilt off.

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, it's like, god damn, you ain't check

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the date. Like you know what I'm saying. Like my

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>granddad used to have batteries from the eighties, Like you

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>throw them as in there, like they need batteries about

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:32.239
<v Speaker 2>to blow up.

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I come from that era. I'm one of those

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 1>people that like, maybe we can stick the batteries in

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.399
<v Speaker 1>the freezer and maybe they'll live longer.

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.360
<v Speaker 2>So you see this disc right here.

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>It looks great, by the way, So this is just.

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Some this is like this is what a sixth grader

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 2>does in trying to learn how to cook, and luckily

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 2>my mom and my dad were cool enough to let

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.120
<v Speaker 2>me try a little shit like this. Now I would

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 2>do something like I would even put a little bit

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 2>of cheese in this, like some gouda or whatever we had.

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking you were gonna say, parmesan.

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh a parmesan for show. Oh okay, okay, do we

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:06.120
<v Speaker 2>have any permis on here?

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 1>I think so you're hilarious. We're gonna throw the commercial

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because CP needs parmesan and we're back.

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So you're like I said, I usually we use parmesan,

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's why I brought some right here. Uh and

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it's fresh too today. Say it's twenty twenty four, so

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 2>this is we can be heavily. You're whole heavy handed

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 2>with this.

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I love that you be checking the dates. You are

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:31.800
<v Speaker 1>heavy handed for real with it.

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't play when they're kind of my

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 2>table at Ali Lawdon, I'd be like, may you aren't

<v Speaker 2>finna get tired, bros, I'm gonna have you streading that

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 2>bitch until they turned to an eraser.

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, you actually don't even like Olive Garden. Surprisingly

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.199
<v Speaker 1>you know you know what it is. It's because someone

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>told me that Olive Garden they really just reheat the food.

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I heard they don't cook there.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I heard that too.

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>So Ever, since I heard that, like every dish to me,

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>all I keep thinking is microwaveable TV dinners, and I

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>just don't mess with microwaveable TV di.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't put a lot of house sauce on here,

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 2>and we'll let you sauce it to you. So your liking,

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 2>thank you?

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh this looks good. Hey, guys, this is this is

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 1>his this you know bad. When we first started, we

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>used to have the overhead cam. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it used to be on top of My team would

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 1>hate me every time they'd have to put it in.

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 1>They'd be like, I hate this part. I'd be like,

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>we need it. We need the overhead shot.

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Necessary to get that overhead shot porn created that. It

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 2>looks good.

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I could see where the baby shrimps should be the

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>big shrimps.

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.560
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, you wouldn't have as many. You

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 2>have about five six shrimp in there. You feel me

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you should have done the whole thing shrimp in there.

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I thought about that, but then it would have just

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 2>been like.

0:23:43.640 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Ricey noodlely shrimp for the taste test one.

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, takes a little kick in there. It's a little

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 2>kick in there.

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>This actually doesn't remind me of Ramen at all, because

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you completely transitioned it. I don't know if that's because

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I was sucking on the cop drop, but this does

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>not remind me of Ramen. The only thing that reminds

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>me of Ramen is the noodle. I'm impressed.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like a little shrimp fried rice passed me Parson juice. Ooh,

<v Speaker 1>if we were trapped in a hut, homeless, I'll be

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>your little bunker pal.

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. You know what I'm saying, Ship bat

<v Speaker 2>Watch Power Rangers. You know what I'm saying.

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a chance I put too much parmesan

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on it, but.

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>You change the texture.

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>No, I think I just took a bite of too much,

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 1>but this is delicious. I would have ever thought to add.

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Onions the corn. I mean, you know, I can barely.

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>There's like three pieces of corn.

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Is a favorite GMO.

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>GMO, Okay, I'm over it.

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Back to your business.

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>So what do you go to college for.

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I go to college for initially for veterinary science. Right.

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You wanted to be a vet I.

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to be a zoologist, right. I love animals. I

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>still love animals to this day. And I got animals,

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and so I went to Michigan State and that's one

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.719
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest schools for that, a lot of agriculture

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:12.399
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. And then I saw that there

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>was kids there who came from farms and stuff who

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>was a lot more advancing and a lot more dedicated

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.639
<v Speaker 2>than I was. And I'm just a kid from the

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>city who like cats and dogs and city and just

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 2>like sticking their hand up Kyle's asses, you know what

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. I was like, whoa, this is too advanced

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>for me. I just want to I want to see

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 2>pit bulls, and you know what, I'm.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Saying, but you said a zoologists wouldn't didn't you expect

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to see some kind of foreign animals?

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I did, But I think I just I was I

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>was more romanticizing the idea that was cool. Put it

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.439
<v Speaker 2>like this, Mike Tyson, like tigers, right, he don't need

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 2>to be no zoologist. I just need to get rich

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 2>and get a tiger. That's all it bought down.

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>And you discovered that in college.

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 2>While in college, and I moved to engineering, right because

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>my mom and my whole family, they worked at Chrysler

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>and they always just to be like, man, the engineers

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 2>make the most money and it don't have to do anything,

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.199
<v Speaker 2>so we want you to be that. I'm like, I

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 2>guess I don't want to do nothing with my life.

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, you know what I'm saying, Like, so

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I tried engineering. I didn't like it.

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of math, right, yeah.

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of just being a loan like engineers

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 2>working loan a lot. So I was like, man, you know,

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I have some love for that. I have a little

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of engineering in me. You have a little bit

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:24.959
<v Speaker 2>of lawyer in me. I wanted to be a lawyer at

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.359
<v Speaker 2>some point. I didn't go to law or anything or

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 2>pre law, but I found a digital media arts and

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:34.239
<v Speaker 2>technology like broadcast media, and I was like, this is it, like,

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, like learning how to do the camera work

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and the editing and the lighting. Because I felt like

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I had the talent to be the talent and you

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 2>can't teach that. But if I can learn everything else

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 2>about the business, I can get my degree in that

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>and at least put myself close enough to the game

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>to be able to strike if I ever needed to

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 2>be able to do it. So that's what I did.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So I graduated super high up in my class, like

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>top fifteen, like number twelve. It was a big deal.

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:01.800
<v Speaker 1>From college.

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>That is a big deal, so used to from my college,

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 2>not from the college that year, but from my specific major.

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I was one of the top fifteen students. I directed

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 2>a movie that got into a film festival. You know.

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I did some stuff that I really fell in love

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 2>with the business of show business. And then when I graduated,

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I started writing commercials. I started actually I was working

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>in the mail room of an advertising agency, trying to

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 2>work my way up to be a writer, and I

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>finally did it. And then I by that time I

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was doing comedy at night.

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh you were actually going out and trying doing shows.

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Because that time, I'm dealing with college.

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>And what was that experience for you? Like, was your

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 1>first time up? Take me to your first time? Did

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you do good on your first time? Did you bomb?

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I got a standing ovation my first time, and that's

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>what That's what gave me, like a conference zero on

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 2>an addiction to the that was like, ah, you know

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, so much so that the very next

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 2>show I got, I bombed and it wasn't enough of

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a downer to quit to drown out the up. I'm like, nah,

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I still feel good and that last one fuck that.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll figure it out. But yeah, I hadn't want to

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>do it my whole life. My mom came and she

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>saw it was good for her to see it, and

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>it was it was like, you know, every teacher like

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 2>he talks too much, he jokes around too much, so

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 2>it was everything. All of that was like it all

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 2>came to like a c you know what I'm saying.

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, And I'm sure she felt that. When I

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 2>graduated college with all of those accolades, he was pretty

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>like ecstatic then, But this is something different. This is

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>something like, you know, this is like our shit, Like

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 2>my mom has a crazy sense of humor, Like you

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, like this is what we do well.

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean being a college graduate, how do you break

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to your mom that, okay, I graduated from college and

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>broadcasting right and then, but a side note, I also

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested in doing stand up is a part of

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>her having conversations with you, like, well, what are you

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna do for money? Because being in comedy, obviously there's

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like a broke phase right.

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 2>My grandparents where my granddad was, my aunts, everybody was concerned.

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 2>My mom was kind of like, you know, she just

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I think she knew once I graduated college, it was

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 2>like I did what I could do for them, you

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. It was like, you know, whatever

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I do with my life, now, y'all gonna have to

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 2>just roll with it. Like I graduated.

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>College, you did whatever their bars were for them, and

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>now you get to do what you want from me.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that was the most responsible way to

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 2>be a kid and pay them back for raising me.

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It was like, look, I did the thing, Like let

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 2>me alone. I did the thing, and everybody can't do

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the thing, and everybody doesn't do the thing.

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>No, a lot of people don't.

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 2>And I was the president of my fraternity, but I

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 2>gave them a lot to be proud of. But I

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 2>needed something for me to be proud of myself, and

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I had to. As long as my mom

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 2>had my back, I was good. I think if my

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 2>mom would have discouraged me, I could have quit. But

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 2>my mom was like, you know, you can do it.

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 2>My mom saw me get the stand in ovation my

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>first time. She was there.

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she was there on the first one. I was

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>going to ask you what she had the first one

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 1>or the second one.

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>She's at both?

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she was at both. So then what was the

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:33.719
<v Speaker 1>conversation going home with her? And the only reason why

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I asked so much about your mom and your dad

0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 1>is because to me, it gives me a real full

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>picture of who you are. But I'm just curious that

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>conversation going home? You said it didn't from the second show,

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. It didn't kill it because the first one

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you did amazing.

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Bo well she was. She asked me, are you sure

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>this is what you want to do? Like she brought

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 2>all my cousins and some of my aunts because I

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 2>had killed so hard the first time. She was like,

0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>oh he's got it. Yeah, I gotta see that, you know,

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever they came. I don't drink, so people brought me drinks.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I have fans. I murdered. Oh wow, like people who

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.520

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. So Seven's and all of that.

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I was getting them tailored loud. You know what I'm saying.

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I was we was those guys. You know what I'm saying, so,

0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 2>look at this, Jeeves, he's gay as fun in front

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 2>of my family, roasted me. I'm like, oh my god.

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 1>So your conversation with your mom going home? She starts

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.479
<v Speaker 1>to question, you know, whether this is something you you

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 1>want to.

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Right then, you know, I went up to her. How

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 2>did I do? She's like, not good, not good? What

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 2>happened to your jokes? What did you do?

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Did she know that you had drank a little bit?

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Nah? She just you know, she just you know, she's

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 2>always been supportive, but that day.

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, it's but I will say this, it's

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 1>so important that she was honest with you in that

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>moment versus the opposite. So that relationship, I can see

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>why you trust her guidance because she can keep it

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>real even when you know it doesn't make you feel

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that great.

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she tells me, I don't like that joke. Shit,

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, you know, with all due respect,

0:33:56.840 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, she uh, you know, she's always had my

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 2>back about it. My dad is just so impressed with it.

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:12.399
<v Speaker 1>It's like, wow, you know, do you feel like by

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>letting your lights shine and pursuing and following the rules

0:34:16.280 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 1>that they had guided do you feel like that allows

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.560
<v Speaker 1>them to let their light shine or other people's light shine.

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it puts a lot of pressure on the

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 2>other kids. And here in my family, I'm the oldest,

0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 2>so it frees them because now their parents can see

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:34.839
<v Speaker 2>that swinging for the fences could possibly get you everything right.

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:38.320
<v Speaker 2>But then also it's like, you know, Chris finished college

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and he did all you could.

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's like they'd be like, why did you

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>leave that bar so high?

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Right? You know what I'm saying, Head out to my

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, my little cousins there. You know, they're geniuses.

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 2>They did all that shit, They did their ship and

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, they got their big dreams and they're doing it.

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 2>But I think that I made a sharp left for

0:34:57.800 --> 0:34:59.720
<v Speaker 2>my family and they were like, oh wait a minute,

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:02.759
<v Speaker 2>somebody is doing something different, and you know, it's set

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 2>it up.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And then also like I've been to Detroit, Uh that

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 1>place I describe it. I don't even think you can

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 1>describe Detroit. You really have to experience it because when

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I go there, I'm like, how does anyone see their

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:17.919
<v Speaker 1>way out? Outside of television? Would be like I could

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 1>imagine the only way maybe sports, But but I'm just saying,

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:27.439
<v Speaker 1>like that environment is so there's like it's it's it's

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a weird thing to me. It's so unstable because like

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>one block it's like houses, the next block it's a bomb.

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Look like it hit it.

0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just I mean maybe if I grew up there,

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I would understand it more. But coming from bigger cities

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like New York and l A, I'm like, yo, how

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>do you possibly see yourself getting out of Detroit?

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 2>It's very simple. You learn and not take anything for granted.

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that watching my kids grow up here in

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 2>LA it's like, oh, they got it made. You know.

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>They can leave their campus and go to lunch, or

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 2>they can go outside and switch class asses. And like

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 2>school was different. We were in the in the school building,

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't leave. It was like a like New York.

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I've seen New York schools like like a jail, like

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 2>a precine. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's like it's cold,

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and you know, we don't have a lot of light

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 2>shined on us, and so it's not a lot of

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 2>attention on us. So the bad ship can excel, but

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 2>the good ship can excel too.

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I mean so many successful people that come

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 1>out of Detroit. You have your uh, what's that Detroit

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a clothing line that's always very prominent. It's like Detroit

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 1>over everything or something everybody. By the way, I've tried

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to get him on the show, so Tommy, yes, I've tried. Actually,

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I seen him when I was in Detroit

0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and I had Darius pull over the car, like yo,

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I need to try to lock him in. But but yeah,

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>you guys have had so many successful young entrepreneurs come

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:02.760
<v Speaker 1>out of Detroit. I feel like Detroit is really making

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.840
<v Speaker 1>its own name for itself even.

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you some real shit. Yeah, we don't

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of old people in a way like

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 2>New York. Y'all got a lot of old heads who

0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:20.280
<v Speaker 2>are tied into the what it is. And Detroit is open, open,

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 2>like our old people are not in the way of

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, you got a couple of little baby gatekeepers

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:30.880
<v Speaker 2>here and there trying to but it's like no, like

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 2>this is Detroit is like young niggas can run this.

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it. It feels like y'all are taking over.

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 2>And so if you're doing good, then you are able

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 2>to connect with people who want to do business with Detroit.

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 2>They they don't have to go through anybody. It's just you.

<v Speaker 2>And so Rob or not.

0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Being robbed?

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, what was he gonna do though, you

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:27.880
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. And then you also learned to

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 2>mind your business, right. I could have been selling drugs

0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 2>and my man wanted to buy something or whatever, you know,

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 2>not to pay attention to people's stuff, you know what

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:37.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. So robbing no whole ass. Now I'm gonna

0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:39.640
<v Speaker 2>give him the benefit of the doubt and say he

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:40.279
<v Speaker 2>ain't no you know.

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>And so that was nice how you had his back

0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:43.719
<v Speaker 1>just now.

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:46.399
<v Speaker 2>And so I I got to my consulor's office, who

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 2>at the time, my conflor was my cousin, because I

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 2>remember I told you that that I went to that

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.520
<v Speaker 2>school for the gifted and I won class clown in

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 2>eighth grade. That school allowed me to get into a

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 2>like a gifted high school called cast Tech, like one

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of the schools of choice in Detroit. But when I

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.240
<v Speaker 2>got in there, I'm fresh off the class clown campaign

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going dumb pulling the fire alarm. I'm dancing.

0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're pulling fire alarms. Oh my god, they didn't

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:14.040
<v Speaker 1>invote to class clown.

0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I had to know. This is in ninth grade, right,

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:18.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's a different school I got. I got kicked

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 2>out of that school. So my mom was very hurt.

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 2>And so that's another thing. You buy me this jacket, man,

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:25.799
<v Speaker 2>that you forgive me for getting kicked out of that

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 2>school and embarrassing the family. You know, it's a big

0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:30.480
<v Speaker 2>deal to go to that school and everybody telling everybody,

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.480

<v Speaker 2>that bitch I had sixty five absences. I was like,

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I was leaving class, going to different seniors. So the

<v Speaker 2>seniors be like, come on, that's the guy that can

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 2>roast real good. Pull me into the lunch. I'm roasting

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:48.880
<v Speaker 2>in lunch. I didn't realize I'm doing it every day

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 2>for months, right, and so kicked out. I had to

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:57.279
<v Speaker 2>go to this hood school since why I got ribbed

0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.360
<v Speaker 2>at the hood school, and so you know, it's just

<v Speaker 2>I have to beg my mom to you know, I'm

0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna be safe. And then I wasn't safe, and so

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I had to go to my concert's office and call

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.759
<v Speaker 2>my mom and tell her she was hysterical, which that

0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:14.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of made me sad, like because I how mad

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and sad she was, and to feel like she felt helpless,

0:43:18.440 --> 0:43:20.759

<v Speaker 1>career that could fund your life.

0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So I was coming to work late every day because

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I was out late at night at the clubs, and

0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I had been doing some big shows around the city,

0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and my reputation was just getting out and I was

0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 2>really smart, and so that comedy was coming across. It

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was just I was a young, fresh comic, you know,

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and so.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And you were staying in Detroit doing clubs. Not you

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't leave yet, right, I was in Detroit.

0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I had never left. I had never been.

0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:57.359
<v Speaker 1>You never went to New York or anything to test down?

0:46:57.440 --> 0:47:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay no. And so I just remember, uh like coming

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to work one day and I had just sold this

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 2>commercial for Walmart and it was like a big time

0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Christmas commercial and everybody was excited about it. So you

0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 2>know my boss who now his name was the Tabio Samuels.

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 2>He now runs Oh I know him.

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:24.520
<v Speaker 1>He was on our show.

0:47:24.600 --> 0:47:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's the CEO of the Vault. But the Tabio

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 2>was my boss back then. Oh you were at the Global.

0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, he told us about that agency.

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so a lot of stars came out of the

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.719
<v Speaker 2>agency too. Just they were really good at finding young,

0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:44.400
<v Speaker 2>uncultivated talent and they just grew us. So the Tabio

0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 2>told me, like, look, we lost Scope. You know, the

0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 2>recession was hitting in hard. It's like, oh a oh nine,

0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:53.839
<v Speaker 2>we lost Scope from Walmart. They don't need our team

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:56.040
<v Speaker 2>to be this big. We need to let somebody go.

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not you, because you're killing it, but we also

0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:00.799
<v Speaker 2>know that you don't do one be here and you

0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 2>starting to blow up in your comedy thing or whatever.

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 2>You can save somebody else's job. Right. It was a

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.319

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Just yeah, I was getting tests from those videos and

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I was just getting booked. But then also, you know,

0:49:32.600 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a one trick pony, so I started doing

0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:36.920
<v Speaker 2>a puppeteering around that time. So I came out with

0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Bow, and Reggie Bow was a puppet that was

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 2>representing regular Weed at the time, and so it was

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:45.799
<v Speaker 2>just something else to go viral on besides the shit

0:49:45.880 --> 0:49:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Detroit nigga say. And then it became like, oh, this

0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:51.640
<v Speaker 2>guy has stuff. And then producers from Hollywood started calling me,

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and that's when I started selling TV shows wow.

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.359
<v Speaker 1>As and then you're so as a producer slash.

0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Or yes, wowah producer slash writer. And then of course

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I would act on them if they you know, I

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:09.600
<v Speaker 2>shot a couple of pilots and you know, they would

0:50:09.600 --> 0:50:11.279
<v Speaker 2>go or they wouldn't go. You know what I'm saying.

0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:14.120
<v Speaker 2>It depends, Uh, nothing really went, because even when it

0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 2>did go, it would get canceled. It's just how the

0:50:16.120 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 2>game goes. But that money was enough to you know,

0:50:20.600 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 2>you get into this producing game and you're selling shows.

0:50:24.080 --> 0:50:25.960
<v Speaker 2>First of all, you got to have thick skin, and

0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:27.719
<v Speaker 2>you got to have more than one idea because if

0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:30.719
<v Speaker 2>your idea doesn't go, you dead in the water. Right, So,

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I learned how to have thick skin. I

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:36.759
<v Speaker 2>learned how to maneuver this IP. I use IP like

0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 2>real estate. You know, some shows I'm gonna fix up

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:41.719
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna want to live in. It's gonna be

0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:43.839
<v Speaker 2>want to be my show. Other shows you just sell

0:50:43.880 --> 0:50:46.359
<v Speaker 2>it and then somebody else's in, you know, and it's

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 2>just like that's where I built up my family is

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that's what we sustain off of. You know what I'm

0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:57.360
<v Speaker 2>saying was that it was the shows. Right. Well, now

0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I understand.

0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Now you during those twenty a half years you start

0:51:03.120 --> 0:51:05.799
<v Speaker 1>to get out of Detroit. It sounds like, right, what

0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:09.560
<v Speaker 1>was that pivotal moment where well, I guess when you left,

0:51:09.600 --> 0:51:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you knew that there was no turning back, right.

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:19.400
<v Speaker 2>No, So, like what happened was, you know, during that

0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:23.560
<v Speaker 2>two years I started really getting my name hot in Detroit,

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:27.440
<v Speaker 2>and then I started doing the viral video and I

0:51:27.440 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 2>did that one viral video. At the end of that

0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 2>two years after that, I was really hot in Detroit.

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm famous in Detroit. Right now I'm starting to

0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:38.960
<v Speaker 2>do the radio. So now I became a radio personality first.

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:41.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's what got me to all the celebrities and

0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:43.319
<v Speaker 2>everybody would come through the city. I would be able

0:51:43.320 --> 0:51:45.760
<v Speaker 2>to have a one on one with them on the air.

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:55.960
<v Speaker 2>And then my good friend Tone Foster, he I asked him, like, Yo,

0:51:56.000 --> 0:51:58.239
<v Speaker 2>give me your ride to Chicago. Bro, I didn't have

0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:00.600
<v Speaker 2>a car. They give me right of Chicago. Man. They

0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.440
<v Speaker 2>got this auditions for this show called Empire, and they

0:52:03.440 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 2>sent me down there for auditions. My boy drove me

0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:09.799
<v Speaker 2>down there, did the audition, and I got the role,

0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 2>and I had to move to Chicago, so I had

0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.320
<v Speaker 2>to leave the radio station. So now I'm living in

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Chicago shoot an Empire, and I'm going up in the

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Chicago comedy scene. And now I'm blowing up in that scene.

0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:25.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, oh shit, like I'm good in two states,

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm good in Yeah, I'm good in Illinois. So

0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:33.600
<v Speaker 2>now it's like well, in the middle of that, you know,

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 2>producers are still reaching out to me. I ended up

0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:36.320
<v Speaker 2>selling the show.

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:39.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you get on the radar where they're saying

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're able to sell shows because you booked a

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:44.759
<v Speaker 1>role as an actor? But where do you Where does

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the pivot come in where you get the opportunity to

0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:47.000
<v Speaker 1>sell a show.

0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:50.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's a crazy bunch of ways to do it.

0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:53.640
<v Speaker 2>But back then, there wasn't a huge amount of online

0:52:53.760 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 2>YouTube creators, right, and so the ones that were out

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:01.759
<v Speaker 2>there had had a spotlight on them because you know,

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 2>they were trying to show the the power of this

0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:08.040
<v Speaker 2>new medium, like you can go to YouTube and you

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:11.279
<v Speaker 2>can So they were scouring YouTube for these guys, and

0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:12.840
<v Speaker 2>so I just was one of those guys who was

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, they liked my mix of I'm doing the

0:53:16.040 --> 0:53:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, the skid that I'm doing another skit, you know,

0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 2>me and my boy Ron Taylor doing the skit that

0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a skit with Darius and Jeff Horse and

0:53:24.760 --> 0:53:31.120
<v Speaker 2>all these guys. And then I did Reggie bo and

0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:33.440
<v Speaker 2>then that had them like, wait, he has a puppet,

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 2>And so I started getting calls and so one guy

0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:38.520
<v Speaker 2>called me and was like man, I you know, I

0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 2>could take you to Martin Orence. Man, I could have

0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:43.560
<v Speaker 2>you a part of the crew, and I'm all right.

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:46.160
<v Speaker 2>The other dude me was like, I can show you

0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:49.120
<v Speaker 2>how to produce and own your own content with networks,

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, shit, I'm rolling with that. And so

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what he did. Shout out to him. His dude

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:57.720
<v Speaker 2>name was Chip, and he taught me how to write.

0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:00.319
<v Speaker 2>And you know, he was a producer on I Can't

0:54:00.320 --> 0:54:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Get a Hill back in the day. So he knew

0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 2>people and so, you know, I like any business, you

0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:11.359
<v Speaker 2>get to network, right, and so you build tryads, which

0:54:11.400 --> 0:54:17.040
<v Speaker 2>is like somebody introduces you to a person, and so

0:54:17.360 --> 0:54:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the three of y'all have a connection through the person

0:54:19.760 --> 0:54:22.919
<v Speaker 2>who introduced you. And so Chip would introduced me around

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 2>town of these people and then I started like having

0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:29.120
<v Speaker 2>stuff to bring them, like I got this idea and

0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:31.759
<v Speaker 2>then that's dope. And then we would work and start

0:54:31.760 --> 0:54:34.719
<v Speaker 2>building the ideas and he would get the meeting set.

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm really good at pitching because I just was

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:43.920
<v Speaker 2>selling commercials and so it's crazy how your whole story

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:46.879
<v Speaker 2>lends itself to the next chapter. I was writing and

0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:50.680
<v Speaker 2>selling commercials and I had to pitch thirty seconds to somebody, you.

0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Would do it like how when you watch it on

0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:53.640
<v Speaker 1>TV and the person stands in front of the room

0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and that was you.

0:54:55.040 --> 0:54:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, well, I mean, I'm just trying to visit me.

0:54:56.760 --> 0:54:58.839
<v Speaker 2>It'd be on like a video call with like our

0:54:59.000 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 2>clients that are somewhere else, and I'm running down the

0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:03.560
<v Speaker 2>schematic and it's gonna be like this, and then the

0:55:03.680 --> 0:55:06.400
<v Speaker 2>little girl says that's just fad mark, and everybody like,

0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:12.040
<v Speaker 2>oh right, And so pitching thirty seconds is hard as hell,

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:16.440
<v Speaker 2>way harder than pitching thirty minutes. So now I'm getting

0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:20.920
<v Speaker 2>these rooms and I'm like and then page two and

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:24.040
<v Speaker 2>they're like okay, and it's like I'm learning that, like

0:55:24.640 --> 0:55:27.800
<v Speaker 2>everything I learned in that process before, I'm using it

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:28.880
<v Speaker 2>here and it's killing.

0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:32.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like God had like a whole plan, People.

0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Had a plan for me. And what happens is then

0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:37.120
<v Speaker 2>you look up and a lot of people who are

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:40.440
<v Speaker 2>just new into the game don't have these kind of

0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:42.719
<v Speaker 2>pitching skills, and then a lot of people who've been

0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in the game don't have fresh ideas. So now here

0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I am a person with fresh ideas and a way

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:52.120
<v Speaker 2>to pitch where I can really do it, and I'm

0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:55.440
<v Speaker 2>just selling show after show. Like I looked up and

0:55:55.480 --> 0:55:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I sold like eleven shows, and I'm like, oh shit,

0:55:59.239 --> 0:56:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like I just keep I just sold one like two

0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:04.920
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, you know what I'm saying. Like, I'm just

0:56:04.960 --> 0:56:07.680
<v Speaker 2>saying like right, but that's what I do. And so, like,

0:56:07.880 --> 0:56:10.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, it became like I'm getting more popular for

0:56:10.880 --> 0:56:13.279
<v Speaker 2>this than the stand up. People are respecting me for me,

0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:15.800
<v Speaker 2>and I had to Now I'm living in hollywoods I

0:56:15.920 --> 0:56:19.800
<v Speaker 2>live in Detroite, Chicago. Now I'm in Hollywood. And I

0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:22.359
<v Speaker 2>started doing comedy in Hollywood, and then I'm blowing up.

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:27.919
<v Speaker 2>And that was like, now we got three states where

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, and so, you know, blowing up in Hollywood,

0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:34.520
<v Speaker 2>you know. And then I've even done it in New York.

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I lived in New York for seven months, blew up

0:56:36.560 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 2>in New York, and I did it in Atlanta. I

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 2>went to Atlanta for a couple of months, blew up

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:42.880
<v Speaker 2>in the little Atlanta comedy scene. That was it. So

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:45.400
<v Speaker 2>then it just became like I'm good and I just

0:56:45.400 --> 0:56:46.880
<v Speaker 2>need to just be like I'm good, you know what

0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. And so the fight was to make sure

0:56:49.760 --> 0:56:51.759
<v Speaker 2>that I could still do my stand up in the

0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:54.959
<v Speaker 2>midst of doing all of this producing that I've been doing.

0:56:55.920 --> 0:56:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how do you do that?

0:56:57.960 --> 0:57:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I just be tired, you know what I'm saying.

0:57:00.400 --> 0:57:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Like, if you had to choose now between producing, writing,

0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and your comedy out of all them, which is the

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 1>job that gives you the most.

0:57:09.200 --> 0:57:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Fulfillment stand up because that's personal, right, acting because of

0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:18.920
<v Speaker 2>what I can do from my family. Like when I act,

0:57:19.640 --> 0:57:22.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like it's that's like the big, big,

0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 2>big money. You know what I'm saying.

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I would think selling the shows was the biggest money.

0:57:25.600 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm selling the shows is the second biggest money. Acting

0:57:28.600 --> 0:57:31.160
<v Speaker 2>is the first. Okay, yeah, Like because you just you know,

0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 2>like I'm talking about real acting, like not like guest starring.

0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Like like I started on like Love Life, where I

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:40.600
<v Speaker 2>did ten episodes and it's HBO, and it's like you're

0:57:40.680 --> 0:57:43.840
<v Speaker 2>number four on the call sheet, Like you're like, you know,

0:57:44.000 --> 0:57:47.600
<v Speaker 2>top five priority for this HBO show. Like it's life

0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:51.200
<v Speaker 2>changing kind of money. Producing is like you finally getting

0:57:51.240 --> 0:57:53.840
<v Speaker 2>six figures. You know what I'm saying, It's okay, we're

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:55.440
<v Speaker 2>doing it. And then you produce a lot you know,

0:57:55.480 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you can add it up. But acting is like bam,

0:57:57.760 --> 0:57:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you're here. You know what I'm saying. So what I

0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:02.120
<v Speaker 2>a like to do is do stand up and have

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:03.480
<v Speaker 2>them pay me like I'm acting.

0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well I think that that can't be too far

0:58:06.560 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>around the corner for you.

0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, but I have to you know,

0:58:09.520 --> 0:58:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you got to have know what's around the corner. You

0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:15.280
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. But I mean the production part

0:58:15.280 --> 0:58:20.400
<v Speaker 2>of it. It's just as a creative it's a little slow.

0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, you know, shows take two years to

0:58:23.600 --> 0:58:26.280
<v Speaker 2>come out, and I'm like, I'm ready for to come out,

0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm getting older.

0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:29.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know, well, when they buy the show, why

0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:32.280
<v Speaker 1>are you still waiting for it to come out? But

0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is it not just a smooth one done, shake hand

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:37.840
<v Speaker 1>transaction or they keep you on as a writer.

0:58:38.400 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 2>So they buy the show. When you sell a show,

0:58:40.800 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you sell a concept, they want to buy that, right, Okay,

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 2>so oh we like that, we want that. Okay, cool,

0:58:46.080 --> 0:58:48.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll give you. Let's say, we'll give you two hundred

0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:50.880
<v Speaker 2>grand to do that. Okay, we need the script rope,

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:54.360
<v Speaker 2>we need the Bible designed, we need to you know,

0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:59.680
<v Speaker 2>the concept and all of that outlines everything, and then

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:03.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll side if we want to do this show.

0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 1>After they've given you two hundred k. Yeah, okay.

0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:08.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's like that's why you got to have thick skin,

0:59:08.880 --> 0:59:10.720
<v Speaker 2>because you can't be glued to it because once they

0:59:10.760 --> 0:59:12.120
<v Speaker 2>say no, we're good, it's over.

0:59:12.680 --> 0:59:13.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean it's over?

0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:15.640
<v Speaker 2>It's over like they bought that from you.

0:59:15.880 --> 0:59:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, meaning like it's it gets dead in the ground.

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:22.200
<v Speaker 2>And then you can go to somebody else and say, hey,

0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:24.800
<v Speaker 2>if you guys like it, you guys can pay them

0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 2>two hundred grand and they'll sell it to you and

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:29.960
<v Speaker 2>then you can work with me on it. Why you

0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:31.360
<v Speaker 2>have to get it and turn around? But they like,

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:33.640
<v Speaker 2>we bought this and we paid for it. Yes, so

0:59:33.680 --> 0:59:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it's ours, but we don't want.

0:59:34.880 --> 0:59:39.520
<v Speaker 1>It, damn. So But when you had mentioned that, you

0:59:39.560 --> 0:59:41.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you'll be waiting around, like when is it going

0:59:41.400 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to drop? Why do you have that part? Like why

0:59:44.760 --> 0:59:47.480
<v Speaker 1>what are you waiting for? If you've gotten paid.

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Waiting to get green lid, right, you're waiting for it to.

0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Start, Like why do you get another check? Once it starts?

0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:56.080
<v Speaker 2>That's when you start that two hundred thousand You get

0:59:56.080 --> 0:59:59.360
<v Speaker 2>that now every episode. Oh so they pay you one

0:59:59.400 --> 1:00:01.880
<v Speaker 2>time for this is what you get. Now you're like,

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I want this ten times. Hell yeah, you know what

1:00:04.080 --> 1:00:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. I wanted twenty times. I want it for

1:00:06.160 --> 1:00:08.600
<v Speaker 2>you exactly. You know what I'm saying. So that's what happens.

1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:10.800
<v Speaker 2>So now it's like you get a taste and then

1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>it's gone. And so for some people that's it. Yeah,

1:00:14.440 --> 1:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they never do that again, right, they help you budgeted it.

1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Good for me, it's like I need to do it

1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>over and over and over again. This show is about

1:00:21.360 --> 1:00:25.240
<v Speaker 2>this and so the thing is like a lot of

1:00:25.280 --> 1:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>people don't have enough good shit to go right back

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>to them and be all right, but check this one out.

1:00:30.720 --> 1:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>This one starts a little boy and you know, and

1:00:33.520 --> 1:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>they like, nah, you had one and it was good

1:00:36.480 --> 1:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's it me. When they see me coming, they're like, oh,

1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>what do you got for a CP? You know what

1:00:42.160 --> 1:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. And it's like and it bodes well for

1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:48.040
<v Speaker 2>me because just because it didn't go doesn't mean that

1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>they don't respect your writing or respect how you think.

1:00:50.400 --> 1:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>So then they'll call me like, hey, these other people

1:00:52.600 --> 1:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>they sold the show, but they need help with their pitch.

1:00:54.920 --> 1:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Or they need help with their can you you know,

1:00:57.040 --> 1:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll pay you to come in and help them, and

1:00:59.120 --> 1:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>then there's money in that too.

1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm just curious. With everything you've learned about the

1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>entertainment business in the his and those, do you feel

1:01:07.120 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like you are good with managing money or do you

1:01:11.080 --> 1:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of still.

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Look at I don't like, I don't think. I'm just

1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that I talked to my mom about this

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the other day, and it's like she was like, I

1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't raise you to be good with money. And we

1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>have to figure out how to break that curse in

1:01:23.960 --> 1:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>our family of money just coming through us. You know

1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. We need to figure out how to

1:01:29.640 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 2>build our generational wealthware. And we're doing things like we

1:01:33.760 --> 1:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>invested in some French bulldogs and now you got puppies

1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and so you know, that's like one of our investments

1:01:40.160 --> 1:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>that we did together that we're seeing come back and

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>dividends because it's like, wow, like this is how it goes.

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, you have to invest your money. You can't

1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>just buy everything you like. You know what I'm saying,

1:01:50.800 --> 1:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Because there was a point where I'm like, well, I'll

1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>sell another show and then I'll sell another show, and

1:01:56.880 --> 1:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>then I just sell another show. Oh we need that,

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>sell another show. But then the problem is then we

1:02:02.480 --> 1:02:05.479
<v Speaker 2>have a strike. Yeah, and the strike is like.

1:02:05.680 --> 1:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>The strike is taken forever by the way.

1:02:08.120 --> 1:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>So now it's like, oh shit, like I can't sell

1:02:10.960 --> 1:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>another show.

1:02:11.600 --> 1:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>But even during the pandemic, were you coasting fine?

1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, during the pandemic, I was able to, like I

1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>still have my puppeteer fan base, so like they still

1:02:27.080 --> 1:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>like Reggie bo has a whole following and merch and

1:02:29.800 --> 1:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>all of that. But then also I just I just

1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>really got into my creative bag. Like a lot of

1:02:37.000 --> 1:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>my friends who do comedy and people who are just

1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>in the business, they need the industry. All I need

1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>is is my own setup because I have my degree

1:02:45.400 --> 1:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>in so I'm setting up my own I have my

1:02:47.480 --> 1:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>own studio, you know.

1:02:48.800 --> 1:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you have your background. Is it's almost like your

1:02:52.440 --> 1:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I definitely say I'll call it God's plan more than anything,

1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>because everything that every milestone you hit, even by holding

1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>true to what your family wanted, that level of integrity

1:03:02.960 --> 1:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of blessed you indefinitely.

1:03:05.240 --> 1:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Because I mean, like the skills that I got

1:03:07.520 --> 1:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>from college, the network, Like I said, I was a Kappa,

1:03:10.680 --> 1:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>so like you know, now I mean I am a

1:03:13.040 --> 1:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>new So now I got all that network plus the

1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff that I really learned, and it's one of the

1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>best colleges in the world. So now it's like I

1:03:21.920 --> 1:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>have that vast network of professors who are proud of me,

1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and I got this person who wants to do this

1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>for you, and it's just like, yeah, everything works and over.

1:03:31.520 --> 1:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>During the pandemic, I just woke up one day and

1:03:34.160 --> 1:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>it was like, get to work. I got on Amazon,

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:54.200
<v Speaker 2>ordered the whole studio. It was like eight hundred bucks.

1:03:54.400 --> 1:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Did some cheap like they were looking like those but

1:03:56.160 --> 1:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>they were cheap, you know what I'm saying, A couple

1:03:57.920 --> 1:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>of cameras that already had some try pods. I got

1:04:01.040 --> 1:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>a backdrop blue screen. I ordered a table and a

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>chair and I just set it up and I was like, Hey,

1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>it's me and I'm here and I don't know what

1:04:08.680 --> 1:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing here, but this is what I was told

1:04:11.120 --> 1:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>to do. And now it just wow. And you know

1:04:15.080 --> 1:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, Like, so.

1:04:16.880 --> 1:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So would you say, I mean, based on this conversation,

1:04:19.560 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and have you cracked the budget nutshell or like how

1:04:23.200 --> 1:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to master your finances.

1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Yet yes, I have. I just you know, like it's

1:04:29.040 --> 1:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of work to undo years of being in debt,

1:04:33.480 --> 1:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, like paying off stuff, you know,

1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>just like I'm the lighters at the end of the tunnel,

1:04:40.280 --> 1:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, the lighters

1:04:41.880 --> 1:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>at the end. You have kids, and it's just like daw,

1:04:45.040 --> 1:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>they just bleed money, you know what I'm saying, Like

1:04:48.040 --> 1:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it's just yeah, yeah.

1:04:52.280 --> 1:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>No, I get it.

1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I I I got better with money after I think

1:04:58.800 --> 1:05:02.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like twenty three and I got liens on

1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>all my stuff from the State of California.

1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's when I was like taxes and I was like,

1:05:07.840 --> 1:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>let me get one on one winning account. And then

1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>like really kind of asked all these questions and I

1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>started to like really sit down, like you know, usually

1:05:17.240 --> 1:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you're handing your taxes to account you just five minutes,

1:05:19.320 --> 1:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>get in and get out. Now me, I was like, no,

1:05:21.520 --> 1:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna teach me what I was doing wrong to

1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>end up in a situation where you know, the state

1:05:27.720 --> 1:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna repoll my car. How was the State of

1:05:29.840 --> 1:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>California gonna repossess my car like that? Doesn't even make sense.

1:05:34.640 --> 1:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>But the State of California, I had to learn at

1:05:37.400 --> 1:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a very young age, was way more dangerous than the irs.

1:05:40.720 --> 1:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>The irs will like make payment plans, but State was like,

1:05:43.600 --> 1:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you pay me all my money up front, and we don't.

1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't want five dollars today. We want all our money.

1:05:49.080 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>And then when we get all our money, we remove

1:05:51.120 --> 1:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>all the lians. And that's when I was like, Okay,

1:05:54.640 --> 1:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm a I'm a school up and handle

1:05:57.360 --> 1:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>my money differently. And then when I bought my first house,

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>that was another learning lesson where it was like, wait,

1:06:03.800 --> 1:06:06.439
<v Speaker 1>the bank wants to know why I was moving money

1:06:06.480 --> 1:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>from this account to this account and what was this

1:06:09.680 --> 1:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>purchase and that purchase. Because when I every time I

1:06:12.280 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>had a business, I would mix up all my funds.

1:06:14.880 --> 1:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, oh, well, you know, CASHUW problems, and

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>before you know it, after hitting my head a couple

1:06:20.600 --> 1:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of times. Now I may true j not just by nationality,

1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>but I am an obsessively and Darius knows that's like,

1:06:29.640 --> 1:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm so good with money and I still I give

1:06:32.480 --> 1:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>out credit. I brag about it because I do believe

1:06:35.280 --> 1:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you have really great credit. Your job in life is

1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to gift other people with it, but also teach them.

1:06:41.800 --> 1:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>But I give away and.

1:06:43.520 --> 1:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind.

1:06:45.440 --> 1:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>So when you have someone like I have an eight

1:06:48.400 --> 1:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty eight FIGHTO, and I'm proud of it.

1:06:51.440 --> 1:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>But if say, if you have say seven six hundred

1:06:57.040 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>fight oh, all I would do is say, you know, CP,

1:07:00.000 --> 1:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>give me your information. I'll add you to one of

1:07:01.840 --> 1:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>my cards. By me doing that, I'll probably give you

1:07:05.120 --> 1:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred points just off that.

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

1:07:07.760 --> 1:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>So I give out all my friends. I give them credit.

1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm very invested in there, and they all call me

1:07:13.240 --> 1:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>when they're having money issues, cause I'm like, yo, there's

1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>no reason to be prideful about it. Like you see

1:07:17.840 --> 1:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>me go broke a hundred of times. But it was funny.

1:07:20.080 --> 1:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday I bought a car.

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>That's business.

1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I bought a car yesterday, and afterwards I went,

1:07:27.280 --> 1:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had to run an errand with my daughter.

1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to a friend and I was like, man,

1:07:31.520 --> 1:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know the guy before me, it took so long

1:07:33.520 --> 1:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>for me. It took like thirty minutes. And he was saying, like,

1:07:36.280 --> 1:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, when he buys all his vehicles, one he

1:07:39.600 --> 1:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>put it under his name. I'm like, why the f

1:07:42.440 --> 1:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>would you ever put a vehicle under your name? It's

1:07:44.400 --> 1:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a liability. It ruins your debt to income racio on

1:07:46.560 --> 1:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>at all this list, but one of the things I

1:07:48.280 --> 1:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>realized is like the failure to manage money and to

1:07:51.040 --> 1:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>understand credit really holds you back. The reason why I

1:07:53.640 --> 1:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>was able to buy a car with virtually nothing down,

1:07:57.240 --> 1:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>no income checks, nothing, was because I had the fight

1:08:00.480 --> 1:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>out score of f you give me my car, you

1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>know attitude and even when I said, uh.

1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>But doesn't your score go down every time you do

1:08:08.480 --> 1:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that.

1:08:09.680 --> 1:08:12.919
<v Speaker 1>No, so your score you have like up to four

1:08:12.920 --> 1:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>inquiries a year that you can get, but it dips

1:08:16.000 --> 1:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>your score a little bit. The things that ruin your

1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>score is really your debt to income ratio and your

1:08:21.400 --> 1:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ability to pay off debt. So I believe in paying

1:08:24.880 --> 1:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>off all debt within thirty days, and the only debt

1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that I like to keep is assets. And then anything

1:08:31.439 --> 1:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>that's a liability needs to go under a company because

1:08:35.640 --> 1:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you can write it all off. You know, like cars

1:08:38.920 --> 1:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>with the exception of Darius's new Chevy Caprice or whatever,

1:08:43.000 --> 1:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>like you could keep that car because it's appreciating, But

1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the regular cars that depreciate. They need to be under

1:08:49.120 --> 1:08:51.519
<v Speaker 1>your company. Everything needs to be under your company. You

1:08:51.560 --> 1:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>got school and then yeah, and then I also I

1:08:55.360 --> 1:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>live on a modest salary, and then I put all

1:08:58.160 --> 1:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>my companies as anes corp. And then I draw to

1:09:00.880 --> 1:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a draw on the profits at the end, which I

1:09:03.800 --> 1:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>think everyone swears by LLC, LLC law escorpse are the best.

1:09:10.600 --> 1:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I remember my accounts for five years saying like

1:09:13.760 --> 1:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>escorp escort, but in my brain I was so ashamed.

1:09:16.920 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I would be like, well, they probably just wanted me

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:21.599
<v Speaker 1>to spend more money. And it was a simple filing.

1:09:21.640 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 1>It didn't even cost me any money. It was they

1:09:23.560 --> 1:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>just turned the C into the S. And I was like,

1:09:26.439 --> 1:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I saved so much money. I was like, you're so stupid.

1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Ho, why didn't you just tell them to do it?

1:09:31.320 --> 1:09:35.479
<v Speaker 1>But my ignorance was like was like, yeah, escorp es

1:09:35.479 --> 1:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>corp is the best way. And then I also I

1:09:38.840 --> 1:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>love this because if you're buying real estate, if you

1:09:42.360 --> 1:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>do an escorp and you set yourself as an employee

1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're self employed, they count your income after tax

1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>if you are employed, which if you get on a

1:09:53.280 --> 1:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>d P under your escorp, you're employed, then you get

1:09:56.960 --> 1:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the best of both worlds. You get to buy a

1:09:59.360 --> 1:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>home based on your income before tax, so you can

1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>buy more home. So like there's different tricks where you're like,

1:10:06.400 --> 1:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>wait and as an as corp. You can do both.

1:10:09.360 --> 1:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>So I love it.

1:10:11.120 --> 1:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm gonna bet suhit me up.

1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I love it in Darius, obviously, could you imagine being

1:10:17.760 --> 1:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>married to someone that's like, how did you spend that money?

1:10:20.880 --> 1:10:23.479
<v Speaker 2>From Detroit? We from theded Like we just we just

1:10:23.479 --> 1:10:24.719
<v Speaker 2>get a dollar to spend a dollar.

1:10:24.760 --> 1:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how he is. And let me tell you something. Nothing.

1:10:27.640 --> 1:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>The second I hear been a mall, I'm like, get

1:10:29.400 --> 1:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the out of the mall, you know, And I get it.

1:10:32.720 --> 1:10:34.719
<v Speaker 1>He's he's a comic. But I'm like, if your checks

1:10:34.720 --> 1:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>were all getting written into your corp, you know, sure,

1:10:37.640 --> 1:10:40.479
<v Speaker 1>But these clothes I can't. We can't do nothing with

1:10:40.560 --> 1:10:44.719
<v Speaker 1>them because you're not Your paperwork isn't brand.

1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? So if they were paying him

1:10:46.760 --> 1:10:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to his company, then the clothes that he buys, he

1:10:48.680 --> 1:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>get everything.

1:10:49.439 --> 1:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>So everything I buy is written off. I what I

1:10:52.400 --> 1:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>do is I put everything on my Amax. Which is

1:10:54.479 --> 1:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a cool cheat is that most of these credit cards

1:10:56.920 --> 1:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>are breaking. Get down for you. So at the end

1:10:59.160 --> 1:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of the year, you just get your AMX spreadsheet because

1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>they do it for you, turn it into your account,

1:11:04.240 --> 1:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and then just write off everything on there because it

1:11:07.040 --> 1:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>breaks it down versus you having to keep tabs on it.

1:11:09.760 --> 1:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Look this this whole podcast financial lesson. But but no,

1:11:15.400 --> 1:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I would love to collabse. I love sharp, I love

1:11:17.800 --> 1:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about budgeting and financial literacy, and I get every

1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>time I drop a little snippet on my personal page,

1:11:25.640 --> 1:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll get dams from everybody like please drop more, and

1:11:28.280 --> 1:11:32.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I will go. But yeah, it's definitely especially

1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like in the state of California, if you are self employed,

1:11:35.760 --> 1:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like to just Comedian CP, you're gonna get taxed more.

1:11:38.880 --> 1:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But you're on an escort, so you're being taxed right,

1:11:41.080 --> 1:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>But the goal is the liabilities go on to court

1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>assets home.

1:11:46.439 --> 1:11:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Are you stuck, Like, let's say my car is are

1:11:48.240 --> 1:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>my name? Can I just switch into my company at anytime?

1:11:51.600 --> 1:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>No, but there's still a way. So like what I

1:11:55.760 --> 1:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>was doing, not like.

1:11:56.800 --> 1:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>A car note like talk about a car you just

1:11:59.520 --> 1:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>cash out.

1:12:00.840 --> 1:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>You cashed out a car in your own name. Maybe no,

1:12:05.479 --> 1:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you got to buy that because if you buy a

1:12:07.120 --> 1:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>car cash out fifty percent right off the top is

1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>tax right off. So if you bought a car for

1:12:13.280 --> 1:12:14.479
<v Speaker 1>one hundred k, fifty k.

1:12:14.479 --> 1:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Right off the top for my company, or it's for me,

1:12:17.040 --> 1:12:17.479
<v Speaker 2>for your.

1:12:17.320 --> 1:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Company, for you, it's I don't think you get as

1:12:23.160 --> 1:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>many benefits. Like I just bought this car. I just

1:12:25.280 --> 1:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>switched it to my name, and the dealer had the

1:12:27.120 --> 1:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>nerve to catch a little attitude and I was just like, bru,

1:12:29.880 --> 1:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>either you switch it to my name. And then here's

1:12:31.960 --> 1:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the funny thing. So the way insurance works, you know,

1:12:35.800 --> 1:12:38.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a little tricky. So I was telling Darius at

1:12:38.479 --> 1:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like seven in this morning, guess what I did. So

1:12:41.280 --> 1:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the insurance company, the dealer wanted like the insurance to

1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>come out a certain way, and they sent me a PDF.

1:12:46.160 --> 1:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And luckily, you know the computers now you could just

1:12:49.439 --> 1:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>edit it. And they wanted to lay out a certain way.

1:12:51.840 --> 1:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>So I had the insurance, but they just wanted it

1:12:53.960 --> 1:12:56.439
<v Speaker 1>to lay out without my name or Dariu's name on it.

1:12:56.680 --> 1:12:58.519
<v Speaker 1>So I just went and edited the PDF and sent

1:12:58.560 --> 1:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it to the dealer and got it approved. I was like,

1:13:01.280 --> 1:13:04.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm gangster like you. There's probably was like, what are

1:13:04.560 --> 1:13:05.519
<v Speaker 1>you even talking about?

1:13:05.720 --> 1:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. That's that's how I get down. I would. I mean,

1:13:09.439 --> 1:13:10.639
<v Speaker 2>but like, yeah, yeah, I mean.

1:13:10.520 --> 1:13:12.439
<v Speaker 1>The insurance is legit, but they want to see it

1:13:12.520 --> 1:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>laid out a certain way. It's like, Yo, I'm not

1:13:14.200 --> 1:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>even gonna argue with you. I'm not gonna argue with

1:13:16.000 --> 1:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the insurance company. Y'all can agree, y'all don't want to

1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:20.599
<v Speaker 1>talk to each other. I'm gonna edit this. What do

1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you want? You want? My name's gone edit and send

1:13:22.720 --> 1:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>it in. And but but truthfully, a lot of people

1:13:27.040 --> 1:13:30.759
<v Speaker 1>don't spend enough time talking about money and how it works.

1:13:30.760 --> 1:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And in the state of California, we're being taxed so

1:13:33.200 --> 1:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>hard that you have to be smart with it.

1:13:35.520 --> 1:13:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Man, I gotta get you with my wife. Man, she

1:13:38.960 --> 1:13:40.160
<v Speaker 2>would love this conversation.

1:13:41.320 --> 1:13:43.519
<v Speaker 1>She would until you go to the mall and then you'd.

1:13:43.400 --> 1:13:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Be like, oh, I mean you could. I spend too

1:13:45.920 --> 1:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>much good damn time with tomorrow. Anyway, that's my problem.

1:13:48.360 --> 1:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I need to get out of there. Yeah.

1:13:49.880 --> 1:13:52.760
<v Speaker 1>So, what advice would you give to someone coming up

1:13:52.800 --> 1:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>in the game specifically from Detroit And matter of fact, no,

1:13:55.720 --> 1:13:58.719
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna specific from Detroit, but a young person

1:13:58.760 --> 1:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>coming up in the game pursuing to be a class

1:14:01.360 --> 1:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>clown but doesn't really know what their journey is gonna

1:14:03.960 --> 1:14:05.759
<v Speaker 1>be and being.

1:14:05.600 --> 1:14:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Broke so young is in there in high school?

1:14:08.960 --> 1:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a young person.

1:14:10.240 --> 1:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you're in high school, I would say

1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I was, you.

1:14:12.760 --> 1:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Know, let's not do high school. Let's do like thirty

1:14:14.960 --> 1:14:16.559
<v Speaker 1>because I think my demo's thirty.

1:14:16.360 --> 1:14:18.760
<v Speaker 2>And above got you thirty, that's even better. I would say,

1:14:20.040 --> 1:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, get a YouTube channel. Start your YouTube channel

1:14:23.360 --> 1:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and one or two subscribers all eesn't matter. Start your

1:14:25.960 --> 1:14:28.479
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channels. You have a place to land your media

1:14:28.560 --> 1:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>thats not a social media platform. And then repost your

1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:35.479
<v Speaker 2>stuff to your Instagram first of all, just to start right.

1:14:35.520 --> 1:14:38.439
<v Speaker 2>You want to people are going to catch fire to

1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:40.400
<v Speaker 2>you one day and they weren't gonna go and they're

1:14:40.400 --> 1:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to go back and look at what you've done.

1:14:42.680 --> 1:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Never stop moving, Never stop moving, never stop learning. Learn

1:14:46.760 --> 1:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>everything that you need to know about what it's gonna

1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:51.880
<v Speaker 2>take to make you shine. Right. So, you need to

1:14:51.920 --> 1:14:53.880
<v Speaker 2>learn how to be your own cameraman. You need to

1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:56.240
<v Speaker 2>learn how to light yourself. You need to learn how

1:14:56.320 --> 1:14:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to like just practice like doing all of the things

1:14:59.760 --> 1:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>that that you want somebody else to do. It for

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>you and who you want to hire and all of that.

1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>You got to do it yourself first period, Like you

1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:10.439
<v Speaker 2>have to be your first client. You have to be

1:15:10.479 --> 1:15:13.600
<v Speaker 2>your first everything. Like, so don't expect people to just

1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>buy into your shit because you saying that you want

1:15:15.640 --> 1:15:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to do it. Unfortunately everybody says that and everybody wants

1:15:19.080 --> 1:15:21.559
<v Speaker 2>to do it. So you have to be the first

1:15:21.600 --> 1:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>person to be your first everything. You got to be

1:15:23.800 --> 1:15:26.400
<v Speaker 2>your first manager. You gotta be okay with that, right,

1:15:26.479 --> 1:15:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Like with the more people you get to buy in,

1:15:29.000 --> 1:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the less you have to do it and the more

1:15:32.000 --> 1:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>rest you can get. But in the meantime, you gotta jump.

1:15:35.520 --> 1:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You cannot be lazy. I can't be lazy with it.

1:15:39.040 --> 1:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>You have to do it, like whatever it takes. And

1:15:41.800 --> 1:15:44.559
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like, we know what it takes, we

1:15:44.640 --> 1:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>just need somebody to tell us. But you don't need

1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:49.400
<v Speaker 2>nobody to say. You know exactly what you're supposed to do.

1:15:49.680 --> 1:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>But now, what would you say if they're like, well,

1:15:52.120 --> 1:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay, what if I do it and a year

1:15:55.400 --> 1:15:57.799
<v Speaker 1>or two years in we don't have like one hundred followers,

1:15:57.800 --> 1:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Do I give up then? Or do I keep going?

1:16:00.280 --> 1:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>No? Don't you know I mean like it depends on

1:16:02.240 --> 1:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>how important it is to you. Right, So, like after

1:16:05.040 --> 1:16:07.639
<v Speaker 2>two years of being in it, you have enough content

1:16:07.680 --> 1:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>where you can start to assess yourself. You know, where

1:16:11.840 --> 1:16:14.800
<v Speaker 2>did you see strength, Where did you see weakness? Where

1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>did you see the most success? What do people like

1:16:19.760 --> 1:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>about you the most? And then start to accentuate those

1:16:22.080 --> 1:16:25.960
<v Speaker 2>things and keep going, like you don't blow up until

1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you blow up. Everything is practiced until then. So it's

1:16:29.160 --> 1:16:31.479
<v Speaker 2>like you just you got to settle into the fact

1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:33.280
<v Speaker 2>that it's going to be a journey and fall in

1:16:33.320 --> 1:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>love with the journey of it. Like, if you can't

1:16:35.920 --> 1:16:39.240
<v Speaker 2>see yourself loving doing this every day, then this is

1:16:39.240 --> 1:16:41.280
<v Speaker 2>probably not what you want to do, you know what

1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. Like, you know, if you don't want to

1:16:43.200 --> 1:16:45.920
<v Speaker 2>work out and go in the gym and be buffed,

1:16:45.920 --> 1:16:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and you don't want to play football, you just want

1:16:48.080 --> 1:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to toss the ball around, go to a tailgate and

1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:50.479
<v Speaker 2>play catch.

1:16:50.720 --> 1:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I like how you kind of did talked about it

1:16:52.880 --> 1:16:55.759
<v Speaker 1>in the zoology sense, like you know, maybe you should

1:16:55.880 --> 1:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>just you know.

1:16:57.240 --> 1:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Get rich and get a tiger.

1:16:58.439 --> 1:17:01.120
