  Speaker 5: were checking on you.

  Speaker 1: And if you got half a million followers checking on you,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it's like a little overwind.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: So can you address that? Go ahead and get that
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: off your chest.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm good. I'm just great. I mean I've said
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: it a hundred times. I mean if I got to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: say it a hundred more times, that's fine. I mean, yes,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: it can't get annoying. You know, it's not you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: not not to be me or to be a butthole
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: anything like that. But you know, it's some people that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: didn't know that, you know, I had surgery, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: didn't know I was out of certain whatever the case
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: may be. But I'm fine, I'm good, I'm healing. Well,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I got to stay. We took out my head, so
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the recovery is going as playing. But everybody,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I'm fine, I'm good, I'm living. I'm back to my
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: old self. Steroids just they altered. They altered, you man
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: them steroids. Oh, I'm already a butthole. You know, I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a Capricorn. So it's like, you know, I mean
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I might say a little flat, some flats stuff here
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: now and then, but I don't mean no. I'm just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm goofy. I'm just all around, just be.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I just like to talk.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: That's what that's expected.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody took offense to it, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I want to go ahead and get that off people's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: chairs because you know, we call my sister first, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: she that's one of the first things you said.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you're healing. I'm glad your head straight, your head,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: your head, man.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But it's to be loved by so many people that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: could be that. I think that could probably be both ways.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What is your experience with having so much following like
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of responsibilities.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it really makes me nervous sometimes, I mean it
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: makes me nervous because, like I said, I don't want
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to come off as but you know what I'm saying.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: But people got to understand that just because I got
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: so many characters, I'm still human, you know. I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I got veins flow the same way everybody else's flow. Right,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I got emotions. You know, I don't know
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: what people get. Well, you know, you get to a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: point where folks don't think that you have emotions. You're
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: not supposed to say anything, but he's supposed to ignore everything.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I can't ignore everything. I mean, I'm gonna speak my mind.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I don't care you know if if a person, because
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of people be like, well I'm follow.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You, okay, goodbye, good goodbye Sam Sally Sarah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I don't I don't even want to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: come up with a home. But like I said, I'm
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a human. You know what I'm saying. I mean, allow
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: me to go through my emotions just right, You go
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: through your emotions, like people talk crazy in the comments.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: People are so crazy in the comments.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: And how do you how do you manage that?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Because I know that can be You're getting thousands of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: comments per per post, like in the in the first
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes, like I've seen I'm like, no, he just
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: posted thirty minutes ago. While I'm laughing, somebody's saying something
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: sideways or doing something.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: How do you manage those comments that are just kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: of like off the wall?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: But sometimes I try, I try to. I try to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: ignore it, but sometimes you have to address certain things
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: so people can understand them. Like you're not a pushover. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not a pushover. Like you're not feeling disrespect me
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: in the comments, rather I respond or not. I'm just
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: not going to let you do that because if you
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: do it, then somebody else gonna feel like they can
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: say what they want to say. I mean, I feel
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: like the comment section in today's world and social media
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: is like people feel like they can say what they
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: want to say and just don't care. Like the outcome
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: of it is crazy, Like y'all be saying like some
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of the most disrespectful things and when I say something back, oh,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I'm in my feelings.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Now, right, because you're supposed to be the character you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't supposed to be trician, right, That's why I think
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it's important to let people know, like I love I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: love this, that your profiles have your name, like you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: attach yourself. You don't detach yourself from your names. Like
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you're not calling yourself a character. You're not calling like
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you have yourn you have, you have your brand, but
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you have your name separating. I think that's important so
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that people that have common sense can and I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: mind saying it, people have common sense can relate that, oh,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: this is not him full time. He is not if
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you mean it all day long.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Twenty four seven. I'm not mispeaches, I'm not trading twenty
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: four seven. Like I'm a husband. Yeah, I'm a father,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I'm a brother, I'm my uncle. Like I'm a real person,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I'm just not a character.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: So I just feel like sometimes people one thing about
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: being a comedian is it seems like everybody expect you
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: to be funny twenty four to seven, and I'm just
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I just like when I post videos, that's that's when
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I'm being funny, you know what I'm saying. But if
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just making like a regular post or something like,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that's just me being human. You know, it could be
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: about anything, but I'm not all. I'm not a comedian
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: twenty four human, you know after four o'clock because I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: post my videos within you know, like in the morning
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: after four o'clock, it's this family time.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yep. I think I love that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And you can see that even on your feet, like
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you're even baby boys here today, and like it's beautiful
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to have someone come with you and just represent family
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, if your household
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: ain't taken care of, you can't take care on the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: folks on Instagram. You can't take care on the folks
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, tik took all these platforms that you've been
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and so it's beautiful that I've seen, Like even if
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you pay attention to your stories, I've seen where you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: shout out your wife or I see you do that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: video which took to the beauty shop or something like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: like I was like, oh, wow, you know that's a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful marriage. So how does your this is so good?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: How does your wife manage all that attention? Like cause
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: she don't seem like she she.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Seems more introverted.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know the woman to God, but in my
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: mind when I think of my wife, and now I
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: don't try to compare her anything I think of when
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I think when I think of my wife, I think
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: of Savannah James Labron James, because she's behind the scenes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: She don't want to be seen as much. She's she's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a mother, you know, she's nurturing, she take care of
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the kids. She's not really a kind of person. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I've been chasing this dream since we've been together. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: she respects it. But she still want her damn time.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Listen, you tell the men.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Want you. I don't care what you do. She wan't
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: her time, so you know I have to respect that
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: as her husband, because that time is important because you
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: can get lost. Like I'm still learning today how to
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: manage being a husband, being a father, being a content creator.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: It's a lot, you know. So I'm still trying to
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: manage that. And sometimes, yes, she gets on my ass
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: about it, and I mean, I don't. I can't get
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: mad at it, Ford, because you know, I got to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: learn how to manage it. If I want to do this,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I got to learn how to be those three things
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: in one day.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: If that makes that's so good, and I think it
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: gives hope to even women because he desireate singles by
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the way, So yeah, that's where in our single. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it gives us hope because you know we're we're creatives
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: as well, and we're growing and developing. It's like, whooh,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the more attention that you have, the more responsibility, the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: more admin work you got, the more things that you're juggling,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: because life don't stop because you want to create. It
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: does not stop because you want to be you want
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to put that wig gone, or you want to be
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the old white man.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: But I let's say I love. I'm not gonna say
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: sing what if you want to see what he be saying?
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: You got us, I'm not gonna say it play here,
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: but I and.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I enjoy the seeing the balance. But it's not even
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I don't even call it a hustle. But when your
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: grace for something like this and God has like literally
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: called you to do something, you have the stamina, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: have the support. And so with with that being said,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I know you're not the characters, but we gotta get
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: into these characters because okay, let's okay, first of all,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: love and dementia, sir, all these c p asy Okay,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: where did you get all these concepts from because you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: got multiple shows on your platform.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Literally, it's just.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm gonna just start.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: From like, let's go because we want to know.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: So okay, So I started off as CNA. I wasn't
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: saying there for like three months. At a nursing home.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I wasn't. I wasn't that long. I was in there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I was there three months, and within those three months
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I've seen everything everything. So after those three months, I
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: ended up being a mental health tech. So over I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: don't want to say I can't say the night, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I was a mental health tech at two hospitals. The
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: first hospital I spent maybe like two or five years.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: In the next hospital, I spent like maybe a year
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: and a half. But the last hospital I worked at,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I was at work one day and I was just like, man,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: some got the shape, you know what I'm saying, Because
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I got tired of clocking THEE and I got tired
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: of restraining residents and stuff like that. I just got tired.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: It was just because anything can happened, like this was
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: let's say twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, yeah, twenty nineteen when
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: it was so but just the just the physical aspect
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: of the whole thing as far as like being. It's
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a lot that goes with it. And the pay is
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: horrible for somebody that's really risking your life because you're
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: in the mental health tech with a whole type of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: type of convicts people from off the street, you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: on drugs, all that type of stuff that you got
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: to deal with, and you get paid nine dollars an hour,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So I went in the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: bathroom one day, man, I tied a piece of teacher
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: around my head like a like a with a little
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: ball right here. I still, I can make it. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: can make one right now. I twisted it up, man,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and just and you know what, the men's bathroom, you
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: maybe got one stall and two toilets or two stars
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and one toilet. And I gave each one of them
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a name. It's Peaches Deveritly and mister Clark. And I
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: recorded myself talking to each stall like it was a person,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: and I posted that video went by. And what's so
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: crazy is all this long time it was up one
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: of my nose because I had been to CNA and
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the middle He'll take all these years, and it took
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: seven years for it to click seven years write up
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: on my nose. The whole time I posted that video
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: went by the second video I posted. That one went
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: more viout than the other one. And it's just it
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: was like a snowball efit. It just was rolling and rolling.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: In that same year, the page that was it was
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: verified and it got hacked that same year.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: So this is not even the page. Because let me
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: catch you up. I do need to say this.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I started following you after you. You actually followed me
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: first because of the tab with the brown yes, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: so I was like, who is this with a blue check.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: This, I'm like, I'm learning you. I'm like, this man
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: is amazing.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: What did it?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Then I was like, oh my gosh, he's like and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: so that made me so excited. So first of all,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for that, Like that made that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: made me my heart smiles whatever. But to actually enjoy
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the content, it was just beautiful. So you're saying that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the page and I'm following now didn't have wasn't the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: one that I got that?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: It was that one hacked?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I think, well, it's the Facebook page. Oh okay, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I think that's the same Instagram page,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But the Facebook page I had at
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: first it was called Hoods and Aid's Comedy, That's what
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: it was, Okay, but that one got hacked and I
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: had to start all over in the same year, ended
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: up paralyzed, so I couldn't even I was still doing content,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but I was uploading my old videos from the last page.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: So luckily my mama had a face old Facebook page
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: of mind that I had to get it to start
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: all over again. So that's how I was able to.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Deray, did you just hear what he just said? He
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: swiped past that real quick because he don't understand what
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: he just said. I'm about to tell you what you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just said, Tristan. He said he didn't allow the situation
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to stop what he was not.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Only that does Ray. Sometimes we got to talk to
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: each other because you just missed this. This is what
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: he just said.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: That although something bad happened, yeah, the good revealed itself
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and revealed itself quickly that it blessed him to get
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: back to a place and then extend so to me,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that means that goes back to the point of what
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you have is what you need and the panics that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: we experienced, like everybody getting hacked at these points, like
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of people that we've experienced to getting hacked,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and it's like you, this is so good, the beauty
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of repurposing you was you were?
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: You was paralyzed.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was paralized for.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're not Can we not go past this story?
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: What what happened?
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Okay? So after, like I said, I was working as
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: a mental health tech. Yeah, and I ended up getting
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a new job, really good job. I don't want to
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: say the thing because you know, but it was a
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: pipe company, well known pipe company. I'm sure you probably
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: probably know what it is. But I was working there.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: It was one night we had some people that quit,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: so we would go to different areas to help, you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: other people out. So I was on my way there
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: and my legs started feeling funny and my feet started
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: taking you know how you feel sleep somewhere too long.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: So I was as I was walking, I was feeling
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: that and it just gave out. My legs gave out,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: and I feel I remember in my head, and what's
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: so crazy is I wasn't supposed to have my phone
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: on me, but luckily I had my phone. I mean,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I was able to call my manager and tell him, hey,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I feel and told him my location was All I
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: remember after that is the ambulance going to the hospitals. Really,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: all I.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Remember from that you are a walking miracle blessing, like
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: that's Ray. I don't think he knows he likes sending
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: chills over here, like.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So okay, because at this point, you didn't been paralyzed,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have some surgery on your head. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure we don't even have to get into
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that because we were done with it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: We were done with it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: If you want to dive in, and we can dive
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: in there, okay, because it's not you. I don't I
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: don't think that.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I think that people bypassed the product of you being
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the miracle man, like beyond the comedy, beyond making me laugh,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: like the reason why I can continue to do what
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I'm doing, because I'm anointed for this, That's what Like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that's the point where it's getting to me, like you
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: are meant to live, like you've been through so much so.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: That's what That's what I'm getting to. But I'm trying
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to but I get it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've I've always like I'm a very I'm
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a god fearing man, like I have tons of faith.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Like everything that I do, I make sure that I pray.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I make sure because He's done so much for me
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: that I don't think I could ever, you know, regret anything,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: because it happens for a reason. Yeah, it happens for
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: a reason. So you know, I wake up, like I said,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I wake up every morning and just thank God because
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: i'd have been paralyzed. I had surgeon, but anything could
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: have happened on that surge. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I was on the surge for five I was Anything
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: could have happened. I didn't even know I was up
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: under the survey for five hours. Anything could happened within
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: those five hours. So it's just a blessing to be
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: able to walk, you know, because I couldn't even walk.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I could not walk. My wife had no white ma hands,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: it makes me nervous. It's like it makes me nervous
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: because you just never know. That's why you got to
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: live every single day like it's your last, because you
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: just never know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So to be to have that understanding, your relationship with comedy.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that. I know I've taken a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: heart because I'm trying not to go down that path
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: right now because you almost sent me in a Tristan.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: You almost sent me in your relationship with comedy. When
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: did that start?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't even I didn't know I had the gift.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't know the person that told me that I
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: had the voice for it. And I'm gonna shot shot
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: him out all the time. It's Pratt City savage. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: really was. He called me like I had never talked
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: to him before, like we never had no interaction. Like
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: he called me. He was like, man, you got the
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: voice for it. And we did a skit that skin
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: went viral. But it's just I never knew I was funny.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I just didn't. People told me I was. But you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'm just I wanted to be a rapper.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. You wanted to be a
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: rapper close that's where you get from my uncle.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Actually, well we can dive into that, okay, But yeah,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I wanted. I mean, I still make use music to
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: this day. I mean, so it's I mean, it's just
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: my first love. So I'm gonna always make music rather
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: than do anything or not. It's just my way of
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: inventing or whatever. But I had after after that first
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: skit that me and him did, I started making my
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: own skits or whatever.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: It did good.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: But when I made that seeing a skit, it's just
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: like it was the one that that was my niche,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: my niche. Yeah yeah, but it's just I didn't. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: didn't plan for it to happen. It's just, you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I I wanted to be entertainer rather it was making
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: musical acting. But as far as like the comedy, it's
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: just it just came. I mean, I don't, I can't really.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I mean I did stand up before, I won competitions,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: competitions and stuff, but I didn't know that I had
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: that gift until you know, after me and practically Savage
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: had that conversation, and after that, I just started pursuing
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: it more until I was able to find you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: that one thing that I could you know, uh how
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you said that I could push out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that you that you could call your own because
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: even with Press City Savage, like, that's the beautiful thing
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: about covering in community, right, so somebody could see something
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in you that's a relationship saying I was just thinking
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: about that. I literally have the relationship with my coach
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and she. It's things in me that I'm doing now
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: that I would have never imagine myself doing or being
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a part of, like speaking and you know, all this
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: stuff that I'm doing now, I can honestly say has
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: been derived from seeds of that relationship. And somebody saying
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: her saying, look, this is what it's for you. Like
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes you're like, no, I'm not worthy to do that,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: or I've never seen myself doing that. I want to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: stick to this, like this is what I plan. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes it says your ways are not my ways and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: your thoughts are not my thoughts for a reason because
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you can't even understand did you ever really think that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the platform that you've got now you got shows like shows, Okay,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it's different because with the cen is one, but then
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you got then you got when the man and the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: woman be into it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: I think every time you post something, I feel offended.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: You be talking about us what life experiences? Man, man,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: it's just life experiences. Some of that stuff is about my.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Wife, she know it, so stuff that she be doing
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that you call her out on. So that's your release,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: so you don't argue. You just released through the comedy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So you call her out. So what's the conversation after
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the fact.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: She don't care. She don't care, because that's the That's
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: the thing I love about it though, because she's going
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: to be her regardless. She don't care, you know, And
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: that's what that's That's one of the reasons why I
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: love her so much because she she doesn't change at all.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: She's going to be her regardless of anything. But she
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: loved me to death. I don't think two men and
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: women would stick around for a man three four months.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: They can't walk. Not too many women can. Not too
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: many women gonna do that, especially in today's society. Not
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: too many women's gonna do that. Different, it's it's different.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: So that's why you know, I I adore her because
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: dealing with that and me having served on my head
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: like that, there's two major things that like you got
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: to wake up like this, this is your woman right here. Yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you can't miss it up. And I mean I didn't
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: seen it happen too many times. You know what I'm saying,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: My parents, other people parents, you know. Then the voice
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I've seen it too many times. I know, I know
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: the risks of certain situations. I know what's gonna happen,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: So I'm not I don't want to. I don't want
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to jeopardize what I have at home. I don't want
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: to jeopardize that this is.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: This gives me hope.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this gives me hope because if I can be
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: honest with you, Flase, like people could assume, especially how
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you dress, how you're a comedian, your I don't even
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: want to say the lifestyle, because that's there, your character.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But you know, we have our assumptions. But the easy
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: assumption is to feel and seeing like, oh yeah you can.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: You don't.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: You don't have that type of heart. You know what
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that it is easy to assume that you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: just the next Negro. You know what I'm saying.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: That's whole fifty ishes of me, Like, I get it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: It's the truth.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So I think even hearing you say that is refreshing
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, I got standards, Like my standards
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: are here, I got boundaries. The characters are the characters,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm Tristian at the end of the day. That's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: who my wife married, and so I love that. So
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: back to you offending me, y'all, y'all gotta go watch it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: If y'all not watching these these videos, y'all not y'all
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: not being offended, because every time this last one, I don't.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Let's let's not talk about it, but let's talk about
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: why you got on the end of the bed.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: And channeling some mom.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: That's that's just that's just me getting back to me,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you know, because I'm just goofy, Like I'm really goofy
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: in real life, Like I'm goofy, Like seriously, that's just
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: me being that's just my personality. Like I would really
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: just I would do some random stuff.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Just for no reason, and it's any hit every time.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And folks, I think people are scared to like show
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: their silly side, but you embrace it, and I think
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that's what people like because you're doing things that people
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: really probably do behind the scenes and then you're calling
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: them out with your skits. One of the things I
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: do want to touch on why you hear Christian is
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I saw something I can't remember his name right now,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: but the idea of men in wigs and acting as women.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: You know, we have Tyler Perry madea.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Martin Lawrence has put it's your name name, like all
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: these infamous characters. But then you see a certain group
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: of people or people that think a certain way, think
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that's demeaning not only to the male but to the woman.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And I saw I forgot who this was, but they
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: got on a wig. You put on a wig and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you start looking at the camera. You say, I'm tired
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of all of these comedians.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: I loved it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, address it and address it in the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: character because it was just so beautiful. Let's talk about that,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Like what's I want to know what the problem is.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really understand it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I don't The thing is you, That's that's That's really
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: where it comes down to that. I mean, you got
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: people that love it, people that don't like it. I mean,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: but what's so crazy is I think it's more so
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: like you see it more often now than you did,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: you know when Martin Door or whatever, because of social media.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I just feel like a lot of people do it
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: now because they know you can get paid from it,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, you know, hey,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: if I can make this quick, I ain't got to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: put it. I don't live like this. But you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: if I can make a quick one hundred dollars just
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: to put it on, okay, cool, let me do it.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: But you know, like I said, it's just people just
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: you know, just can't please everybody. I mean, but the
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: people that follow me, the people that you know, know
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: who I am. It's just a character, you know. And
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I mean if you don't respect it, I mean, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: ain't nothing I can do about it. Yeah, you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I this is what I want to do. My brother
• 31:56

  Speaker 3: Every every week that I put on, they love that character.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And I'm and what's so cool about it? At first,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't think that men was gonna appreciate it or
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: laugh at it. But you got people got me in
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: this taking pictures with me shaking my head. Hey man,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: that I embrace it. That that makes me that that
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: lets me know that hey man, it's cool. Just you're
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: gonna have people that like it. You don't have people
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: that don't. But I'm blessed with the talent that I
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: have and I'm gonna I'm gonna use it. Yeah, you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: if a person like it or not, I mean I
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: but it's what's so crazy the people that don't like
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: it still watch it, right.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: That that's the part for me, Like you doing all
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: this coming and combating and all that stuff like that,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: but yet you have not done anything like you You're
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: you're still watching my stuff. Christian, I'm curious about this.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You're such a Do you feel his heart desert or
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is it just just me? I mean, you just got
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a beautiful heart.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I look at comedy as a poor right. Laughter It
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: says it's laughter is good for the soul, right, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: that means that the person that's creating the laughter has
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to have a level of poor too. So how do
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you get revived. What is your what is your process
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: of replenishment.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Rest hm, Love from my wife, love from my kids,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: love from family, love from my family, just prayer. I mean,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: it's just just life. I mean I just feel like
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: just living and you know, living within the moment and
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: just taking one day at a time and just I
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: think I just wake up energized. I'm just energized. I really,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I'm just really I think it's the kids because they
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: keep me on my toes, especially my youngest, Like my
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: youngest daughter, Like she she's the reason why, like I'm
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I'm always on my toes. I have to be energetic
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: because she is the smaller version of me. Like everybody
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: says that, so I might as well say it too.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: She is like the she's me, Like she has so
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: much personality and so much character. Like if if I
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: was to stop right now, I would probably create something
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: for her because she has that. She had she really
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: does and it's it's it's amazing to see because like
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I said, she very mischievous, outgoing. She's just you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: she's just one of those kids that is just very
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: energized and love. I really do love it, even though
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: sometimes she get on my nerves. But that's just all
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: my kids. But she's just that one that just fakes
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: after me. Yeah, So I mean it's just I just
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: like I mean, I love life, man, Yeah, I just
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: love life. I mean, like I said, you just never
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: know what happened. You got to live every single day.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Like right, right, speaking of them kids that get on
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: your nerve. So with with what you're doing with your.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Your coming, your comedy, your entertainment, right, what are you
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: expecting to leave for them? And how is it impacting?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: What are you seeing the results. So I know we
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: talked about baby Girl, right, but what are you seeing
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and your other kids is It's like, Okay, I have
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to keep doing this because it's playing this seed, and
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it's playing this seed because I know it seems like
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: legacy is important.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Toy with my son, he I think he's going to
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: be a gamer. He's gonna be probably stream games and
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: you know he likes playing games Roadblocks and Minecraft and
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, so I think he's gonna be behind
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: the camera some kind of way. Yeah. My oldest daughter,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: she's getting it to that age when she's just in
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: her room all day, you know, she come out, she
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: do tiktoks and stuff, normal normal kids. Yeah, you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: but I really, I really want to leave behind everything
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: that I've built and I want him to be able
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: to build off.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: That makes sense, No, it makes sense.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Because I feel like each one of them can bring
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: something different to the whole thing. Like it's really hard,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: it's really hard to explain because it's just like it's
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: so much more that I think I have to do
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: before I could really just be like, hey, this is
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: one I'm gonna leave. It's so much more I could do.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: So I want to I want to push myself a
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: little bit more. Yeah, I know I had to, you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: lay low because I had to surge whatever, But I
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: think I want to push myself a little bit more
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: before I, you know, try to make any plans. Makes
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: sense because like I said, it's just so much more
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: I could do. But I know I'm gonna leave something.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So even with you're saying that there's so much
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: more you want to push yourself, what does it look like?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Because I know that as creative we can make a plan, right,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: And it's like I'm always thinking about something new, especially
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: with what we believe in. We we're part of the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: ultimate creator, like you're connected to the creator, So what
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: what is what does it look like?
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be accurate, but it's going
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: be a good timestamp thing. What do you think Tristian
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: would look like five years from now?
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Five years from now, I'm pretty sure I have a
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: lovel dimension move out. I really do believe that I
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: probably have a comedy special out. I definitely want to
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: do that. I want to. I definitely want to sell
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: start on Out one one night, just a good night
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: of comedy. That's that's that's one of my ultimate goals
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: is to sell start to start on Out because sometimes
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: you just got to prove people. And I think that's
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I got to even though you know, sometimes we say,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: you know, we ain't got the pool, not to nobody.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I want to. It's just you know, over time, man,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: you just I I didn't been passed up so many times.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I'd have been passed up so many times to the
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: point where like it drives me, it motivates me. I mean,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: it's still in the back of my head. I think
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: about it a lot because so many people doubted it.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Nobody gave me a chance. Nobody, but not everybody calling
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I mean, I I mean,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: like I said, I don't want to be a butthole.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: But you know, when I was trying to get to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: this point, nobody want to pay me no attention. Nobody
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: believed anything that I wanted to want to do other
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: than people that was around me. You know, I would
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: hit people up, Hey, you know, can I can I
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: get about five minutes of you know, just to tell
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: a few jokes, every excuse in the book. You know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: That's why I always I just keep going because it's
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: it's something that I won't like. This is the career
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: that I I didn't think I was gonna have, but
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I have it. So it's it's a lot of people
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: that I want to prove.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: With you, with you saying the start on, I'm so
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: glad you said that because I was really I was like, man,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I would love I would be.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: The first person after your wife. Let's just because we learned.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: But I think I would be super super excited to
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: even so I feel like it's an investment. It's because
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: that the support pushes you. The support really pushes you. Yeah,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: we have some people that like, yeah, you don't think
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I can do this, but literally you have. I think
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: in my mind you got way more people that will
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: book the heck out of that just because it's like, oh,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: we can buy multiple tickets, we can make this a
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: whole thing.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: I really see that for you, like no cap like
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: none whatsoever.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: And the beautiful thing about being able to speak this
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: now is that in five years you're gonna be able
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to see this interview. You're gonna be like I said,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I said what I wanted, it's.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Got to happen. And and a good thing about people,
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: I won't call it rejection, but it might have felt
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: like it.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: The good thing about that part Trician watch this is
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that it gave you room to really create your own thing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: It's O nobody the one thing.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: You know I used to say on big Grits, right,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I mean I still say that now and then my
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: stepdad and stuff like that. It's crazy how people say
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: that they came up with it knowing nobody saying who
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: says on, I don't know nobody else come on that.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's weird that people do that, Like,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: wh why won't you do that? I won't you say that?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Like somebody really came to me and said that they
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: came up with us just they used to say on
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: big ones. I've never heard nobody say that never, But
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's I just had to throw that out
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: there because people, bet y'all need to stop. Let me,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: let me have my stuff please. But I mean, you know,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I mean people saying I have to copyright my stuff.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: People really to take what you built like it's.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Crazy because now it's so easy, especially as a creative.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: It's like.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: With chat chips and all these other technical abilities. I'm
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: gonna say that you could finess a lot. You can
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: write a whole sermon on chat GPT and it be original.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: You can do a whole comany skit on chat GPT
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: and it be original, right, And so I think that's
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the frustration of creators. But the beautiful thing is, at
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, ain't none of these folk God,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Ain't none of these things God? Because what you get
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: is like that's how you know, it's like a pure download.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go ahead and say this, in five years,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I would not even be surprised if you have your
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: own show like on a major platform, I would not
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: be surprised if somebody hit you up and say I
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: need this on my platform. I need this on my network,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: right because you literally if people pay attention, like I
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: can't connect it to anybody else out side of Tyler Pearance,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: because that's what he did. He literally create. He creates
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: every show and he goes thank you all the spirit
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: he go. He was the benefit to Oprah. Oprah's network
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: was gonna shut down. I don't know if a lot
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: of people know that, but she was having problems with
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: her numbers until the person with the wigs showed up.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: We talked about wigs. We saved lives, save lives, whigs
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I had saved lives.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: So I really honestly see that for you, I really do.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: You got something great going on?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: So what what?
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: What are you working on now?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: What can we expect in the immediate future.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I'm I really want to start making mine skits a
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: little bit longer instead of one minut, I want to
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: try to push it about fifteen. So what I I
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: think I'm gonna start adding, you know, more people so
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: I won't have to do like every single you know
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: character because you know it's stressful, it's stressful. I try to.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: I try to do it, but oh Jesus, it's nerve wracking.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: But I still do it because I love it. I
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: actually enjoy doing it. But I mean, like I said,
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: it's just being human. But I want to push about
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes of you know, of those skits because I
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: feel because people look at it as a show. Yeah,
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: so why not just push it out, you know, a
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: little bit longer? People have something to watch, right, you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: because sometimes you go net Flixey, it ain't nothing to watch.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: To be I ain't nothing to watch. Go to regular TV.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I ain't nothing to watch. So you know, if I
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: could get to the point where I could at least
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: get like a fifteen minute skit like every Thursday or
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: you know, like a regular show every week once a week,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: I think I can do it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: I know you can do it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I know people will love. Like if you did like
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: a casting call or something like that, people respond. It's
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: so much talent in Birmingham that is untouched. Like people
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: sleep on our city. They sleep.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, boy, lead a hands on about fifteen times trying
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: to say, I thought he was gonna stop. Stop, don't
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: get no more. Your hands ain't dirty. Jesus, christ. I'm sorry.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I'm trying not to say that.
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: I try.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to know what it y'all.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Every parent has that fay, Hey, okay, how the dog
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I forget to say, Okay, yeah, the kids loved coming
• 47:03

• 47:05
  Speaker 5: We had girl. She was over there in the corner. Well,
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: I say, in peace for more.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, on the floor in her shirt, all all up together,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I said, But baby let him letters he amp to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: because his birthday coming to up.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: So you know, the boy been talking about his birthday
• 47:25

• 47:47
  Speaker 1: real well on his birthday.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Man, we treat the children well all year.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: So I don't like.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I don't like saying spoil no more right because the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: idea being spoiled. My sister even had to get this
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: to me because I grew up. I don't know about you, Fox,

• 49:24
  Speaker 3: was a football game. He got killed. Uh got killed
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: over cell phone.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: But it was a.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: One Christmas. My dad had gave us one hundred dollars
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and he ended up taking me to I
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: think it was Marty's five Points a few years ago,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: and I had bought a Gucci suit. It's like a
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Guccie jog and suit or whatever. So I went there
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: and tried it on and came out. He said, I
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: you Floss, and man start calling you Flaws. So after that,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: after you know, hearing that or whatever, I just one day,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: you know, because I had when through a million rap names,
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: so he had my rap name and ended up being
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: and went from Little Flaws to Flows Maine and Flos
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: the man my last name macfather. But I just, you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: I just felt like that was my way of you know,
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: keeping you know, that memory of him, you know, name
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: myself Floss or whatever, because like he that was like
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: my big brother, yeah, because I was always with him,
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: you know, he was my uncle. But it was like,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I think I was more. I was closer
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: to him than my other uncles that I had, because
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: I think he was, he was younger age, you know,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: uh I was, you know, I just always with him,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So that was just my
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: way of keeping you know, that memory of him. So
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: that's where the flows came from.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: So I thank you for sharing it because now you've
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: taken it to an even deeper subject. Right, and in
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: our city, we they call us someplaces first forty eight.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: That's not a badge of honor. It's really disheartening. And
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: so I think with what you just said, because I
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: heard you when you said he got killed.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: Over a cell phone?
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: What's chat ship?
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: A cell phone chip? I feel like I just need
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: to give you space to speak to that. Not necessarily
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: even that specific situation, but the situations that keep happening.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: What's where we going wrong with our city? Like what
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: are we going wrong with the all the shootings and
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. I remember growing up there was stuff
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: that happened, but not on this level.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's the influence the things that we glorify.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: We glorify people Like you said the first forty eight thing.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: People think that's a good thing. That like if somebody
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: came like people will come up to you and be
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: like where you're from Birmingham. That's first for the first
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: thing you do is laugh. I don't laugh. It's not
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: fun to me because it's just that that's horrible quiet.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, he had to break up the strong moment strong.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: But I just think we glorify the wrong things, like
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: I we glorifying having switches on your gun and you know,
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: I don't being in in gangs and stuff like that.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I just I remember a time where like the ogs
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: wouldn't allow twelve thirteen year olds and it you know,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: on the on the block, go home, go do some homework,
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: go to football practice. You know. Back when I we
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: was at football practice. That's that was our outlet, football
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: pre That's that's what we knew. It's just seemed like
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: these days kids just won't switch it on. Nigga. I don't.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I really don't. I mean, I
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: just wish that they had a better outlet than you know,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: the streets, because I mean, I'm sure there's a lot
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: of kids that's in the streets that really don't want
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: to be in it, but that's what they surrounded around.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: That's the environment, you know, and you know, and the
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: parents don't make it no better because they're doing the
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: same thing. You know, we we I just feel like
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: we glorify our own things. I mean, go to school, man,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's other ways you can make money
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: these days, like social media paying everybody, everybody all you
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: got to just put on some clothes, you know what
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like put on some clothes, YouTube streaming, like
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: it's so much, so many ways you can make money
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: other than being on the street. But like I said,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: you got, you just got. You know, certain people that
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: just don't understand, like the cold of not allowing young
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: kids to be in the streets like that. I mean,
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: it's young kids, like thirteen fourteen year olds in jail
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: for murder. Like that's that's crazy. It's wow, it's wild.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Like I said, it's not even the OGZ. It's kids, man.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: These are kids that's going to jail. These are kids
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: with switches on their guns, Like why what you need
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: a gun for?
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: What do you need a gun for?
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I think in our time, Christian is where I can
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: remember that I might not have wanted to go to school,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: but there was something that did ignite me in school.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: And I won't say I didn't want to go to school.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: But it was just I challenging because I'm understanding now
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: looking back, I'm a creative. No one really tapped into that.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Nothing tapped into that until I was in music class.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I played the Violet Land and when we was in
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: art class. From my understanding, that's not provided anymore. And
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: so all the levels of it is not provided, or
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the freedom of it is not provided. And so it's like,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: what do we need to do to alter the attention
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: span to bet be trigger happy?
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: So it's just it it's mind blowing to me.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: It's it's because it's it's young people. Man, Like I know,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I keep saying that, but it's that's what it is.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: So apparently somewhere in the in the area, we're not
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: doing what we're supposed to do for the younger generation
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: because all the glorifying guns. I don't understand what's the
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: fascination behind guns.
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: I I have one, yeah, but.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: I don't. It's not something that I got to have.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, the reason why I have it because I
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: have three kids and my wife. Right, you know what
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's just well, I don't people walking around
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: with shotguns.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: And they I don't understand it, and how I would
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: be scared to shoot myself like you got accidentally.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Just to get it out, Like what what you?
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: What?
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: You?
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: What you what you're scared of? Like what you gotta
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: look up your shoulder for? Like I don't, I don't,
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. Like back in the day. I mean,
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: of course you got people that's gonna try you. I
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: just feel like like back in the day, and just
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: kept it moving. Yeah, because at the end of the day,
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: I might have a black eye, but I'm still living.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: You know, I might I might scraped up my arm,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: but I'm still living. We both still living. So because
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't understand why people don't think that
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: you're going to get caught if you do anything. It
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, it
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: might be ten years from that. You're going to get
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: caught at some point. So I don't understand why people
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: think that glory fine killing anybody, it's okay. It's not okay.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Like you, you're going to get caught, regardless of if
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: you think you're not. I mean, save save yourself the.
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: Trouble, save your save he said it, save yourself.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: Save yourself. I mean, it's it's not worth going to
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: jail for it, because you're going to go to jail.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Whether it was an accident or not, you're going to
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: go to You're going to go to jail. Like get
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: get away from these guns. Like we got boxing.
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna go fight it out, man.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Shoot Jake Paul. Making money, YouTube money, yeah, fighting. Anybody
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: go make some money off of it. Record it, you
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: can put it on social media, can get paid for anything.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: Both of y'all can get paid just off that one fight.
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: But you know what's so, it's so much pride in
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: it because everybody wants to be King Kong.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: Everybody want to be the one.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Everybody want to be the one. And so I think
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: that we have an opportunity as a community. You you
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: post a good question. You was like, what are we
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: doing for them? That's the real question. What are we
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: doing for them? And if people can answer that, I
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: know people gonna be in the comments. You know people
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you know you come in and they say, well, we
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: got this policy and we got this for the listen.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: How are we marketing it? How we what are we
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: are we connecting with the influencer to let them let
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: us know what's going on in the community.
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: That's that's really what it needs to happen. Mayor, Mayorwood,
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: Come talk to me.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I got some ideas. Come talk, talk to the influencers,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: talk to the creators.
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: Let's talk. Let's have a circle, because all we.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Need is.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: If we get to the right amount of young folks,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: they can see the brighter things in life. I'm sure
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: they can influence the next ten to fifteen people. Yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: you just never know unless you try. Because I mean,
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: like I said, it's somebody out there, it's some young
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: kids out there right now that's in the streets that
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: wants to get out. Yeah, they don't want to really
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: be there, but they don't have an outlet. They don't
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: have nobody to show them the brighter things in life,
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: the things that they can do that's better than what
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: they're already doing.
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: If that makes sense, No, that makes sense.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: Like it's it's so it's so much more than life,
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: man Like, it's so much more. It's the country to.
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: See something new. It's not just Birmingham. We got a
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: whole state of cities.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: We got we got a whole thing at least go
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: to another city, because that can change people to like
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: they can they can help people too.
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: Man, Christian, you are my dog, You dog, I'm making
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: the comedian.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: See I told you Desiate, I'm funny. I'll be telling flows.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I'll be telling them I'm funny, and I laugh at
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: my own jokes. I just don't post it like I'm hilarious.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: But you know it's so crazy. I don't even laugh
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: at my video.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: I don't see why not.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: But the thing is, if I laugh at I feel
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: like I feel like it ain't funny.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: Really, I don't know why.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: It's just but I'll post it anyway. But you know,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna post anything because I feel like.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: Somebody's goanna, somebody's gonna laugh at it. A lot of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: bodies gonna laugh.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: I feel like, if two people laugh, I'm fine with it.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: I don't even care. But that's how it started off, though,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: Like if two people laugh, I'm fine with it. I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: don't even I'm fine with it because I mean, you
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: never know them two people probably needed that laugh, you
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. It had been so many people
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: that hit me and said I didn't stop getting suicide
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: and you know, I done got them through a tough day,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: or you know they significant others just died and you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: know I minded them of them and made them laugh.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just it. That's one of the reason
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: why I keep doing it, because it inspires people. It
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: made people laugh during hard time. It's just sometimes it
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: just gives me, like when you was talking about reviving.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: Sometimes that it revives me because I feel like I've
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: accomplished something.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've done my job for today, you know,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 5: like that's your metric, right.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just it makes me feel it makes me
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm doing something right. I'm doing what I'm
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: supposed to be, Like, this is my calling, this is
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: what I'm supposed to do.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: So you know, well, Tristan, I'm so excited that you
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited. So you're saying too, I be trying.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, I think I think I okay
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: every Birmingham because Pretty Rica was making everybody feel like
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: they could sing.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: I went somewhere I thought I was. I thought I
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: was pleasure, pleasure because like it used to be me,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: my cousin, cousins, that was pleasure.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: You were pleasure. Okay, when we get off here, I'm
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna do this. No, I'm not gonna ask you
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: that on this came y'all yep, big heart. Yeah, the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: heart of a comedian sure like real talk. I'm so
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: glad that you came here. One of the things that
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: we love to do, you know, just ask is allowed
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: our guests to have the final words. So if anything,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: like I know we've had touched on different areas, but
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: because we want your heart. If there's not one thing
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: that the listeners hear from this end of you, what
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: did you want to leave them with If they don't
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: hear anything.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Else, don't try to be perfect. Work towards being perfect.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: If that makes sense, you can elaborate, But I mean
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: what I mean by dad is.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: You will never be perfect, but you can work towards
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: anything to try to be close to being perfect, because
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: nobody in this world could ever get to a point
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: where like they just perfect on you, just unless you're
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: just a narcissist or something like that. But other than that,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: I just feel like even with me, like I I'll
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: never be perfect, but I'm working towards being perfect. I hope,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: I hope I explained it.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: You explained it.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Another way that Mike Todd says this, I don't know
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: if you know who that is past Mike time he
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: says progression not perfection. And that's basically which is said,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: progression not perfection.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: And so that was that was for me.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that because I struggle with the
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: perfection is in real dead. So Christian, thank you so much.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: This has been an honor. Thank you to communicate with.
