BBNIC Episode 33 - Let Me Introduce Y'all To My Engineer Wolf Taylor · Blind But Now I See

• 0:01
  Now I just switched their hand and hair. First question clearly being I don't
• 0:09
  know, are you about to ask me questions? Asking you questions? I
• 0:11
  completely forgot Damn all right we asking you question now this this is like we're
• 0:16
  gonna cut this up in two parts, right right, right right. So
• 0:19
  first thing, I well, if the producer work at WTF Media Studio,
• 0:23
  yep, you're not from New York. We were originally from I'm from Dallas,
• 0:27
  Dallas, Texas. What made you come to New York? Uh So,
• 0:34
  let me just say, like I've always been a fan of New York
• 0:37
  East Coast culture, Like all the like the flies fashion to me was coming
• 0:42
  from New York. The best music was coming from New York, the best
• 0:45
  rappers, the best movies, actors, you know, like all the culture
• 0:49
  that I found myself being like naturally drawn to even on from the South.
• 0:52
  But we got our own ship, right. But I always liked the New
• 0:55
  York shit. And one thing about New York and places like La, one
• 1:00
  thing that those two places got in common is that there are people that are
• 1:03
  like living in the creative world, and they're paying their rent and they taking
• 1:07
  care of their bills. And that's not really something that you see happen a
• 1:11
  lot down South because we don't got that infrastructure, you know what I mean.
• 1:15
  So niggas is like going to work, looking the way they want to,
• 1:19
  talking the way they want to, living in one of the best cities
• 1:23
  in the world, you know what I mean. It's like it's just it's
• 1:25
  like a dream, you know, like living it down in the South.
• 1:27
  You trying to Like when I was a kid, I was trying to figure
• 1:30
  out, like damn, I wonder if it's possible to like have fun for
• 1:36
  a living. And then you got people down south like, yeah, that's
• 1:38
  not real, you know what I mean, Like, go get you one
• 1:41
  of them. Go get you a job at the factory. They'll get you
• 1:42
  a cost center job. Go to school, you know what I mean,
• 1:46
  Be a doctor, go do something like that, because that's the only way
• 1:48
  up out of it. This bitch, like pretty much you saying like in
• 1:49
  the South, your life is already set up. I would say, there's
• 1:53
  not a lot of like the people in the South. There's pros and cons
• 1:56
  no matter where you go in the world, but the people there's very few
• 2:00
  older people. And you got to think too, Like I was born in
• 2:02
  nineteen ninety three. So like, I'm part of a newer generation that came
• 2:07
  up with the Internet, and we understand opportunities that are possible with the generation
• 2:12
  at before me though not so much. So it's hard for them to tell
• 2:15
  you something they ain't never seen, you know, experience, you know,
• 2:17
  like my mom and my dad. Any job that they couldn't get, the
• 2:22
  white person told them they couldn't get it because they didn't have a degree.
• 2:24
  So they think the best information they gonna give me is like, go,
• 2:28
  go get a degree, so you don't got to go through what I went
• 2:30
  through, and you could get the jobs that I didn't have, you know,
• 2:32
  and you don't got to struggle the way we had to struggle makes sense.
• 2:37
  And you came out here by yourself, Yeah, that's a bit what
• 2:39
  made you take that risk. I had to do it, bro I had
• 2:44
  to do it well to tell the story of the correct way. I came
• 2:46
  out here with this girl. We wasn't like romantic or nothing like that,
• 2:51
  but I came out here with this girl. She was already from here and
• 2:57
  so she but she was moving back here. I met her and us where
• 3:00
  I'm from. So we came out to New York together and we was in
• 3:04
  Connecticut. Stayed in Connecticut for a little bit. Me and her fell out,
• 3:07
  you know what I mean, figured out a way to get to some
• 3:09
  bread. Thank God to podcasting, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 3:14
  podcasting really held it down for me, Bro. But yeah, it was
• 3:16
  scary though, you know what I mean, because I didn't have a lot
• 3:19
  of money. Realistically, I knew coming out here with that girl wasn't smart,
• 3:23
  but I was hungry for it though I really wanted to know. I
• 3:25
  had to. I had to know what it was like. Bro, I
• 3:29
  just had to, you know, I had to know what it was like
• 3:30
  to come to New York. And I was like, you know what,
• 3:32
  I got one person that I know, even though it doesn't feel like the
• 3:36
  best I did, that one person is enough to be Like, I felt
• 3:39
  confident enough, you know, maybe maybe coming out here by myself completely,
• 3:44
  you know, telling how much longer it would have taken me to get here.
• 3:46
  But it was one of my life dreams, Bro, to actually live
• 3:49
  in New York City. Bro, it really was. So you know what,
• 3:52
  I take that that's not a man with sight, that's a man with
• 3:53
  vision. Yeah, I hear. You had a vision to get out here.
• 3:57
  You made it happen. I hear you. No matter what, it's
• 4:00
  people like you that I surround myself around. Yeah, some people scared to
• 4:04
  take that chance. You took a whole leap of faith to relocate into a
• 4:10
  different state. Man, No money, you real you standing on that?
• 4:14
  Man, it's from the mud. Looking back, it's you know, it's
• 4:17
  so crazy. It all worked out. But looking back, I'm like,
• 4:19
  boy, that was stupid. Look looking back, would you do it all
• 4:23
  over again? Yeah? I would. I would. I would do it
• 4:27
  all over again because it worked out better than I could have expected. And
• 4:30
  that's one thing that I'm I'm gonna talk about on my pod that I'm gonna
• 4:34
  really soon. It's like, fuck, if the plan don't work, work
• 4:36
  the plan? Yeah, my plan didn't work. Bro. Sometimes you got
• 4:41
  less resources in front of you got to go out there and find the rest
• 4:44
  of them. Bro. Sometimes God's plan is better than your plans. You
• 4:48
  know, I had a plan. I had a plan. I was gonna
• 4:51
  come out here and do it, do shit a certain kind of way.
• 4:54
  None of that shit happened for me, bro, But what ended up happening
• 4:59
  was so much better. I'm like Oh God, you are smooth. You
• 5:01
  smooth, You slick with it because you slick because you knew what was best
• 5:05
  for me the whole time, which I think you think you know what's best
• 5:08
  for you at all times because you you you lived in your body and you
• 5:11
  think this is what I want, because I know this is the best scenario
• 5:15
  for me, and the whole time is like, let me slap your wrists
• 5:17
  real quick. You're not gonna get that, but what I got for you
• 5:19
  is so much better. Let me direct you at a different angle, you
• 5:23
  know. And a lot of people stop themselves from experiencing life in a real
• 5:28
  way because you're scared that your plan not gonna work whole time. Nigga,
• 5:31
  if your plan don't work, that might be a blessing some time. I
• 5:33
  telling you to read it. Sometimes your plan not working, this might just
• 5:36
  rearrange the plan gonna work. But you're just going about it different. That's
• 5:40
  the thing. The plan is gonna work. Like like my plan is like
• 5:43
  to what to take care of my family realistically? You know what I mean.
• 5:47
  I don't want to see nobody suffer one thousand. So if that's really
• 5:50
  my plan, then fuck. If the particular details of how I thought it
• 5:55
  was gonna work out, didn't work. It worked out a different way,
• 5:57
  and it's looking like it's going You're gonna still get what you want. You
• 6:00
  want to take care of your family, right, we want to want to
• 6:01
  be about to take over. A couple of days text me, She's like,
• 6:04
  you know, I'm good, bro, but just struggling. But I'm
• 6:06
  making it. That shit said, I gotta go harder. Yeah, media
• 6:11
  company something we something. I gotta go harder. My siblings is not supposed
• 6:15
  to struggle. Now they got me, So I definitely like that. So
• 6:19
  how did you link up with WTF Media Studio? So when I first got
• 6:26
  to I'm gonna give you a super quick version of the story. So when
• 6:29
  I was living with this girl, right, not gonna say your name is
• 6:32
  not important. But when I was living with this girl, we went out
• 6:40
  to Virginia to visit some of her family members. Right now, we were
• 6:43
  in Connecticut at the time. So we went out to Virginia and at that
• 6:46
  time, I didn't really have I didn't have much. I didn't have money,
• 6:50
  you know what I mean. So it's like and I didn't know where,
• 6:51
  I didn't know my way around this city, and I didn't have nowhere
• 6:55
  else to go in this city. So I was kind of like a ball
• 6:57
  and chain to this girl in a lot of ways, Like, well,
• 7:00
  if you say we got to go somewhere, I kind of just gotta go
• 7:01
  because right now I don't got the financial independence to do anything outside of you,
• 7:06
  realistically, And that's a horrible position position for any man to be in.
• 7:10
  Yeah, it's a bad position for a man to be. And that's
• 7:12
  why I say, looking back on it, I'm like, boy, that
• 7:14
  shit was stupid, but it worked out. But we went to Virginia,
• 7:16
  and the whole time we was there, she was pissing me off. Nigga,
• 7:19
  We was not getting along anyway. We was there for like two three
• 7:24
  days. It was a horrible experience, bro. And then to deal with
• 7:26
  it, got shit. I don't got shit. And then it's like we
• 7:29
  living we in Virginia with your family, and I'm trying to like, I'm
• 7:32
  trying to like act correct because we around your people, you know what I
• 7:36
  mean. And I'm just like I'm feeling realistically, I'm feeling small. I'm
• 7:40
  feeling like damn, like I don't I feel very powerless because she really being
• 7:43
  a bitch to be honest with you. But I know, but I got
• 7:46
  to keep it together because we're around your uncles and you know what I mean.
• 7:47
  So I want to last shout the next you know, don't look right
• 7:51
  the whole family, you know what I mean. Now you're in Virginia,
• 7:54
  don't know how to hell you gonna get back to anywhere? Don't got no
• 7:57
  money, I can't even get a ticket to get nowhere, you know what
• 7:59
  I mean. So anyway, were on our way back to New York,
• 8:03
  and she just pissing me off. Bro, And I remember that whole way
• 8:05
  back. What I was doing at that time every day was I would send
• 8:11
  an Instagram DM to like as many people as I could that was in New
• 8:16
  York, just to let them know, like, hey, I'm out here.
• 8:18
  I got a camera I could shoot of vlogs for you or whatever it
• 8:22
  is that you might need. That's what I was offering to people. And
• 8:24
  I would do that every day until I would get blocked by Instagram. That
• 8:26
  was my goal. So like first thing I would do when I woke up
• 8:30
  was like to send these messages and then I get blocked. Now I can
• 8:31
  move on to something else. So Anyway, we got back to Connecticut.
• 8:37
  It was like four o'clock in the morning. I'm pissed. Bro. I
• 8:39
  can't even think about no sleep because she just done disrespected me in such a
• 8:43
  way and I felt so emasculated because I didn't have enough finances to protect myself,
• 8:46
  you know. So I get to send them my messages. I'm like,
• 8:50
  nah, I'm about to send these. I gotta like you said,
• 8:52
  like your sister came to you, was like, oh, we're good,
• 8:54
  but we struggling. You like, now I got to make something happen.
• 8:56
  I was like, I got to make something happen. So I'm sending these
• 8:58
  messages. And I ended up sending a message to a dude named Mouse Jones.
• 9:03
  Now for a lot of people, yeah, I get touch with Yeah,
• 9:07
  so a lot of people know Mouse Jones is in the podcast world,
• 9:09
  you know. And he hit me back immediately and he was like, you
• 9:13
  know, I'm gonna tap you with my man that's already on the team and
• 9:18
  come tomorrow. Then I was like bet and that's what I did. And
• 9:20
  from that point I was working with Mouse. Then Mouse did he did an
• 9:24
  event in Chicago. What's what's that ship called? It's like the basketball ship.
• 9:31
  What's that ship? I forgot Damn, that's a star Yeah, all
• 9:35
  star ship, all Star, Yeah, yeah, all Star exactly. So
• 9:37
  we went to Chicago and we was in this building he was hosting, and
• 9:41
  that's a whole other story. I gotta tell you another time. But while
• 9:45
  I'm there, I meet Mandy, and Mandy see me doing my things.
• 9:48
  She seen me like working hard, I'm vlogging, I'm trying to do everything.
• 9:52
  She's like, let me, let me get your number, let me
• 9:52
  tap in with you. Get back to New York. I tap in with
• 9:56
  Mandy. Now Mandy's like personal videographer and type shit. But eventually I meet
• 10:01
  Weezy. Now I'm doing shit for Horrible, you know what I mean,
• 10:03
  just shooting little shit for Horrible. And then Weezy opened WTF And then I'm
• 10:09
  like, listen, like I need a job, bro, cause I had
• 10:11
  been freelancing, and freelancing is really hard, bro, Like when every single
• 10:16
  dollar you get is based on the connections you make and what you got to
• 10:20
  do for somebody. And then with videography, the thing is it's a long
• 10:24
  hustle, like the all the work that you put in for the money that
• 10:30
  you get. It's just it's just not worth it sometimes, you know what
• 10:31
  I mean. But that's all that I had to make a dollar, you
• 10:33
  know, because I didn't want to go work at McDonald's or nothing like that.
• 10:37
  Not that I'm above it, but I had a vision of what I
• 10:39
  wanted for myself. You put yourself around the right situations. Yeah, so
• 10:45
  that's it. That's how I got a WTF bro, look at you?
• 10:48
  Now? Hey, God is good. Bro, that brow. I didn't
• 10:50
  give a fuck about no podcasting. That's what I'm saying about God's playing being
• 10:54
  better than mine. I didn't give a fuck about no fucking podcasting. Bro.
• 10:58
  I was like, I'm not paying it. I don't listen the podcast
• 11:00
  I wasn't paying attention four years ago. Now you got your own podcasts,
• 11:03
  Bro. Now I'm doing a podcast with you, the producer of the Blama
• 11:09
  Nasty podcasts. It's crazy, Bro. Podcasts changed my life, yo,
• 11:13
  you and you and me both. Yeah. I just when I came to
• 11:16
  the studio, was just coming just to meet Weezy. Yeah. Next year
• 11:20
  and I go home. She sent me some video and it's like I need
• 11:24
  doing the show. It's fine. She changed my whole life. Bro,
• 11:26
  that's fine. I was nervous when I first did the episode and all that,
• 11:30
  but every time I seen Wheezy is just nothing but love. Yeah.
• 11:33
  So it's like she's like the podcast God I feel. Yeah. I owe
• 11:39
  her and Andy a lot man Alex too, I owe them a lot because
• 11:41
  they changed. They changed, They changed everybody's life realistically. They put a
• 11:45
  lot of podcasts in these streets. Come on, bro, they gave niggas
• 11:48
  an opportunity, like like if you didn't. And the thing is is like
• 11:52
  the quality that they offer is top tier. So a lot of people got
• 11:56
  studios in New York, a lot of people got cameras and microphone that they
• 12:00
  can offer you, and technically you would be podcasting. You would technically be
• 12:03
  podcasting. But the way they set things up is we're gonna make sure that
• 12:07
  you're podcasting and when you show it to people, and when people see it,
• 12:09
  they gonna respect it. Plus not for nothing like well Weezy, Like
• 12:16
  Mandy, shout up to Bandy and Alex. But Wheezy, it is dead
• 12:20
  to me because it's like you took a chance with me, Like we set
• 12:24
  up there talking. She could have just easy took my money and just like
• 12:26
  I did my part. You go by your business. We really structured.
• 12:28
  I came in here. The podcast was called Scared of the Dot. She
• 12:33
  said, Nah, what scared of what? Nah? I said, Yo,
• 12:35
  I'm trying to do something like so what you want your podcasts to be.
• 12:39
  I'm like, you know, people talk about how they was an adult
• 12:41
  and now they can see She said, nigga, that's it, and I
• 12:45
  see what. Let's get it going. I did my episode. She said,
• 12:48
  Yo, we ain't gonna drop your episode until you put your podcast out
• 12:52
  so we could direct it to it. Wow. I'm like, Yo,
• 12:56
  that shit was love right there. Wow, looking she gave you the nigga
• 12:58
  was she gave you the whole run down platform. Didn't have to do that,
• 13:03
  none of that. Then I went through different producers, different producers.
• 13:05
  I pay for that clip. Yeah, that shit came back. I'm listening
• 13:09
  to an over and over and over and I'm like, damn, I get
• 13:13
  the kid in the background, Oh, that's the one I did the clip.
• 13:18
  I'm like, he did the clip. I'm all right, cool.
• 13:22
  But then when it really stuck out, as when I came out in the
• 13:24
  whole way leaving you came out to greet me like, ye, I had
• 13:26
  to Wade, I said, now that's different, Like everybody here showed me
• 13:30
  love, but that extra step was something different. Bro. I had to
• 13:33
  because like when I made that clip, I knew about the concept of the
• 13:37
  of the show. I was thinking, like, I want to make this
• 13:41
  interactive in a way where he can enjoy it and just a step further,
• 13:45
  you know, like I want him to be able to like experience this clip,
• 13:48
  like his vision has changed, but there's another way that he can still
• 13:52
  get that one step closer that like really, and it's like, this is
• 13:54
  your work at the end of the day, this is the fruits of your
• 13:58
  labor. So I want to make sure that when you take a bite into
• 14:01
  that fruit and you experienced what you did, that that experience is going.
• 14:03
  I got it. It's gonna be real, soul full mill out of that.
• 14:07
  I got it. And Bro, I thought you did that. You
• 14:09
  didn't get it because I hadn't seen you for like a long. I had
• 14:13
  never met you before, and so I never heard back from you about the
• 14:16
  clips. So I was just like, damn, Like, I don't know
