SPEAKER_04: Uh somebody talking about something.
7:37
SPEAKER_04: I just popped in like talking about sports when they didn't want to hear it at all.
7:42

8:30
SPEAKER_00: Um then he went to a tight end, and then they just happened to put him on defense, and he's been like uh linebacker.

9:28
SPEAKER_00: You know, more beasts need to be on the field and on the court.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Me personally, and listen, we're going there.
9:35
SPEAKER_00: Me personally, knowing what era I grew up in, Michael Jordan, you know, the the bad boys of Detroit, uh people getting taken out of the game because the helmets is flying off.
9:48
SPEAKER_04: Bill and beer.
9:50
SPEAKER_00: We done, yeah, we I feel sports and got, I don't know if it's a little softer, or if it's being uh, for lack of words, watered down for the sake of competition.
10:02
SPEAKER_04: It's in between.
10:03
SPEAKER_04: It's like uh I don't know.
10:06
SPEAKER_04: Back in the day, I don't know if a lot of people that uh once they got professional, they had this story that they, you know what I'm saying, they weren't all rich before they got rich, you know what I'm saying?
10:15
SPEAKER_04: Right.
10:16
SPEAKER_04: Uh they were struggling, having these backroom um stories of struggles and their parents and stuff like that.
10:24
SPEAKER_04: But now everybody is like rich before they even become professional.
10:29
SPEAKER_04: Like, I don't know, I don't think a lot of people is really putting their effort to get what they need to be.
10:34
SPEAKER_04: It's a lot of laziness and non-defending.
10:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: In in high school and college, and they make it to the NBA, the NFL, and then all it's like, I mean, I'm already paid.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: What I need to put forth effort for.
10:52
SPEAKER_04: NIL is killing the sport, I think.
10:54
SPEAKER_04: Like sports period.
10:55
SPEAKER_04: NIL, uh like them high school players getting paid, college players getting paid.
11:00
SPEAKER_04: But they don't got no rules to it.
11:02
SPEAKER_04: I think if they can adjust and give it some rules, it'll make uh make it better.
11:08
SPEAKER_04: But right now, like Cooper Flag, he made what?
11:12
SPEAKER_04: I don't know, you know who that is.
11:14
SPEAKER_04: But he was number one, uh he was the number one draft pick uh last year.
11:18
SPEAKER_04: Uh he was only 18 year old when he got drafted to the NBA.
11:22
SPEAKER_04: Uh, but just in college alone, he made like 60 million.
11:27
SPEAKER_04: Look at T.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna pick up this football and get on there and field with my son or something.
11:32
SPEAKER_04: I'm telling you 60 million.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:35
SPEAKER_04: NIL, they just paying people now.
11:37
SPEAKER_04: Like that, that's not even a that won't even know NBA contract.
11:40
SPEAKER_04: That was off endorsements.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: You know what?
11:42
SPEAKER_00: I I I remember a time where doing all of that stuff was like illegal.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Um, I can't remember what the name of it was, but if you accepted money from a college, you know, it was like illegal.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: And you would get fined, the school would get fined, the coach, you know, whoever is buying the cars, buying the clothes.
12:05
SPEAKER_00: Like five years ago.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: That was only five years ago.
12:08
SPEAKER_04: That was like five years ago when that happened.
12:09
SPEAKER_04: That like all that change happened in the in the last four or five years.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: Right.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: So now it was like, well, let me go and say this too.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: I remember it was a thing of, well, the school's making money off these players, why these players can't make part of that money.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: True.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: You know, you you got YouTube and you know, the the upcoming of uh what were they called?
12:33
SPEAKER_00: Um they were basically highlight videos, you know, and people were able to, or schools or whatever were able to monetize off of that.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: So the high school is getting money, you know, get them kids something.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: You know, they in college, they got tuition.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: But the school is taking all that money and the tuition.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:52
SPEAKER_00: At least let them get that money and pay off, pay their tuition off or something, right?
12:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, so it was, I just I just remember there being this big thing of let them people eat.
13:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm eating ramen noodles, and y'all still, you know, for laying yon, and you know, y'all got personal shifts, and I still got to pay tuition back.
13:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: You know, so I I know I remember that part.
13:17
SPEAKER_04: And it's it's a good and bad, it's definitely good and bad, but I think you just need more rules to it.
13:22
SPEAKER_04: Like, it needs to be more structured.
13:24
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because you got players.
13:25
SPEAKER_04: Uh soon they not getting playing time with this one college.
13:28
SPEAKER_04: They like, oh, uh, I'm going into the portal.
13:31
SPEAKER_04: Let me go to this school next year and get a bigger bag.
13:34
SPEAKER_04: Uh and if it don't work out with that, they quitting and going to the next school.
13:37
SPEAKER_04: So it's like free agency now.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: Uh like I don't, I don't, um, I think the biggest thing in college, you pick a major.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: You pick a school because they quote unquote specialize or they're known for that major.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't I don't get the switching schools, especially if this is the school you chose.
14:01
SPEAKER_00: But but then again, I guess did you choose the school for sports?
14:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: Thought that you could come here, you could thrive, da da da.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: And it didn't pan out.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I guess the door's always open if that's the case.
14:14
SPEAKER_04: Transfer portal was wide open for these kids, man.
14:17
SPEAKER_04: Like, soon they not get no minutes, it's like, I'm out.
14:23
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's kind of how some people be at a job too, though.
14:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: So I I I think even with that, people are looking at it more like it's a job, yeah.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: And not um something to build a career off of or a passion.
14:38
SPEAKER_00: I think that's the word I want to use.
14:39
SPEAKER_00: Y'all ain't passionate no more.
14:41
SPEAKER_04: They not, they're not passionate at all enough.
14:43
SPEAKER_04: I think people need to, I don't know, just wait instead of giving up.
14:47
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
14:48
SPEAKER_04: Uh back in the day, like, for example, uh, some player, a player might not get playing time his first year, but soon that point guard or senior point guard leave, he can get playing time.
15:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh now they like, uh, I ain't getting no playing time now, I'm out.
15:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and coming straight from high school and you the star player on the team, and you play all what is it, 60 minutes.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: And and then you get to college and you pay in playing six minutes, man.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: You say, right.
15:20
SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, what you think will happen when you get to the NBA?
15:22
SPEAKER_00: What you think will happen when you get to the NFL?
15:24
SPEAKER_00: Because it's rare.
15:26
SPEAKER_00: Rare.
15:26
SPEAKER_00: They take a veteran player and swap out a rookie.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: Right.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: And when they do, it's like He gotta be elite.
15:34
SPEAKER_04: He gotta be elite.
15:35
SPEAKER_04: He gotta be elite that first year, right?
15:38
SPEAKER_04: Gotta be.
15:38
SPEAKER_04: Gotta be elite.
15:39
SPEAKER_04: You is not coming to the NBA getting no playing time if you're not.
15:42
SPEAKER_04: And then you don't never know what coach you might have too.
15:46
SPEAKER_04: So you need to practice this, waiting your turn now, because when you get to that NBA or NFL or whatever, you don't know what coach you're gonna have.
15:52
SPEAKER_04: And you don't want to do it on that level, because then it's like you about to mess up your whole career.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: Right.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: Being all in your feelings.
16:00
SPEAKER_00: Cause I know um I think it might, I think it might have been the first or the second game for my son.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: And that boy was over there, he was heated.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, y'all won.
16:13
SPEAKER_00: What's wrong?
16:14
SPEAKER_00: He was like, I ain't get to hit nobody.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, what?
16:20
SPEAKER_00: And I'm thinking in my head, like, but you you play.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: But then I had to play it back in my head.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: He didn't play that long.
16:28
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: You know, when you have a certain set of people that you always play, like you said, you got to be patient.
16:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: And I told my son, I said, every time you get on that field, I said, I don't care what position they got you at.
16:41

SPEAKER_00: Hey, that's probably all that's about all the sports talk I can do.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: That's cool.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: So middle school, you were that guy that was always talking about sports, no matter what the subject was.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: Um, just just out of nowhere.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: Right.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: Out of nowhere.
18:09
SPEAKER_00: So do you have um, are you one of those that have a favorite team or do you have favorite players?
18:16
SPEAKER_04: I got favorite players.
18:17
SPEAKER_04: Uh, my first favorite player ever was Alan Iverson.
18:22
SPEAKER_03: AI.
18:23
SPEAKER_04: AI.
18:24
SPEAKER_04: AI.
18:24
SPEAKER_04: I had a stint when I did like Kobe a little bit.
18:26
SPEAKER_04: Uh, my favorite player of all time, though, was Kevin Durant.
18:30
SPEAKER_04: Kevin Durant.
18:31
SPEAKER_04: Uh, don't do that, Tay.
18:33
SPEAKER_04: Don't even start it, man.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: Don't even start it.
18:37
SPEAKER_04: We're talking about the greatest score ever, man.
18:38
SPEAKER_04: Yes, better than Jordan.
18:39
SPEAKER_04: That's scoring.
18:40
SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes, yes.
18:41
SPEAKER_04: Jordan.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I was gonna ask, you know, why Kevin Durant?
18:45
SPEAKER_00: Because you don't really hear people say Kevin Durant.
18:47
SPEAKER_00: You always hear people say the most popular player.
18:51
SPEAKER_04: I think Kevin Durant is the most unstoppable NBA player ever.
18:56
SPEAKER_04: Ever.
18:57
SPEAKER_04: He was he will cook everybody one-on-one easily.
19:00
SPEAKER_04: He's seven.
19:00
SPEAKER_04: In this era, this job.
19:02
SPEAKER_04: No, he'll cook Jordan all them seven easily one-on-one.
19:06
SPEAKER_04: I ain't trying to hear that to you.
19:07
SPEAKER_04: In the prime?
19:08
SPEAKER_04: Or now?
19:09
SPEAKER_04: Prime, prime Michael Jordan.
19:11
SPEAKER_04: He will cook one-on-one.
19:12
SPEAKER_04: Now I ain't saying Katie's better than Jordan.
19:15
SPEAKER_04: I'm saying he will cook Michael Jordan one-on-one.
19:18
SPEAKER_04: He's gonna make his way around.
19:20
SPEAKER_04: 6'6.
19:21
SPEAKER_04: Katie is seven foot.
19:22
SPEAKER_04: And he's doing the same, he's dribbling like a guard and pulling up like a guard.
19:27
SPEAKER_04: And what you supposed to do with that?
19:29
SPEAKER_04: Like Kobe even said he couldn't figure out Katie.
19:32
SPEAKER_04: What you mean?
19:34
SPEAKER_04: So he said foul him.
19:36
SPEAKER_04: File him.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: You about to dunk on me?
19:39
SPEAKER_04: That's the only, you know.
19:42
SPEAKER_04: That's my favorite player, man.
19:43
SPEAKER_04: But does height matter though?
19:45
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
19:46
SPEAKER_04: He's a seven-foot guard.
19:48
SPEAKER_04: Basically.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: At first I didn't know he was that tall.
19:51
SPEAKER_00: I thought he was like 16.
19:52
SPEAKER_04: He'd be lying.
19:53
SPEAKER_04: He'd be lying, bro.
19:54
SPEAKER_04: Because when you put him next to seven-footers, he is.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: He's right there.
20:03
SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
20:04
SPEAKER_04: It's not that.
20:04
SPEAKER_04: I'm just thinking like.
20:07
SPEAKER_04: Go do your research, Tay.
20:08
SPEAKER_04: Go do your research.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: No, that's what you for.
20:11

20:12
SPEAKER_04: I got you.
20:13
SPEAKER_04: I got you.
20:13
SPEAKER_00: Because Tay ain't got no facts on that feet.
20:16
SPEAKER_00: Now you won't talk cameras, come holler at me.

SPEAKER_00: You know, you won't talk lighting and color green, you know, come holler at me.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: But sports.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: That's about all I can give you right there.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: So Kevin Durant, you got a top five NBA, top five NFL, or you don't.
20:36
SPEAKER_04: I got a top five NBA.
20:38
SPEAKER_04: KD's not in my top five, of course.

24:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I remember my most favorite time in sports was you play the the college game and you were able to build this character and then you import him into Madden to see where he gets drafted.
24:54
SPEAKER_04: And you know, they actually they bringing that back.
24:56
SPEAKER_04: Uh they need to.

25:03
SPEAKER_04: So that's gonna be coming back.
25:05

25:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you paid for um$10.
25:36
SPEAKER_00: You could literally go through a draft combine, you worked this this player, you had certain games in like D-League, and then 2K dropped, boom.
25:48
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I miss live.
25:49
SPEAKER_00: My first I miss NBA Live too.
25:52
SPEAKER_04: My first NBA and NFL game was EA Sports, uh, but it was Madden 03 and NBA Live 03.
26:00
SPEAKER_04: Those are my first.
26:01
SPEAKER_04: Uh that brought back some memories real quick.
26:04
SPEAKER_04: Man.

26:06
SPEAKER_00: You know what my first NBA Live game was on?
26:09
SPEAKER_00: What?
26:09
SPEAKER_00: Dreamcast.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: Dreamcast.
26:13
SPEAKER_00: I know a lot of people don't remember that thing, but man, that thing used to make me mad.
26:17
SPEAKER_00: You used to have to take the the triggers and you had to perfectly squeeze them to get that thing to line up because it would be two arrows.
26:24
SPEAKER_00: And as you moved them, they would jump.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: And then once you got them things to line up, that's how you made your free throw.
26:30
unknown: Wow.
26:31
unknown: Wow.
26:32
SPEAKER_04: I I remember like, was it live 05?
26:35
SPEAKER_04: You had to the dunk competition, you had to press some quick buttons real quick just for them.
26:39
SPEAKER_04: Like they didn't take all the fun and experience out of those games.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, and that's that's what I was getting to.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: And I I kind of feel that's also mirroring sports today.
26:52
SPEAKER_00: You know, you don't have to even go and get drafted, not drafted, but you don't have to go to college anymore.
26:57
SPEAKER_00: I think there was once a law or rule that you had to at least go to college for two years.
27:02
SPEAKER_00: But now, you know, people coming straight out of high school, and that's kind of how these games are.
27:07
SPEAKER_00: You create this player and you tell the game what team you want to be on.
27:12
SPEAKER_04: So with the NBA, they still making them go to college for one year.
27:16
SPEAKER_04: Uh one.
27:18
SPEAKER_04: But yeah, but for because some of them, I ain't gonna lie, some of them are just like this year's draft class is it's too much.

27:30
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
27:30
SPEAKER_04: 20, 25, 30.
27:32
SPEAKER_04: If you go look at their stats, they are killing.

SPEAKER_04: You got players that's like 27, got a whole family, 28, 29, and they on these teams still, you know what I'm saying?
27:44

31:29
SPEAKER_00: Now, at the same time, everybody shouldn't be sharing their opinion.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
31:35

32:14
SPEAKER_00: So go ahead and leave that comment, and like I said too, it's like thanks for commenting.
32:20
SPEAKER_00: Cause now it shows to the algorithm that I do respond to people.
32:24
SPEAKER_00: Regardless of how ignorant y'all can be sometimes.
32:27

32:28

32:54
SPEAKER_00: But if you're like in this era, you know, you still might have to go to battle, but just not as much.
33:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, and I and I think that's another thing too.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: I think people see that you reach these uh these records and they put that person like, okay, yeah, that he well, he beat this person.
33:15
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, okay, well, you also gotta think about the time this one player played.
33:20
SPEAKER_00: You know, like if there's this player that over the span of 10 years scores a million points, but then there's another player that did that in three years.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: I think the person that did it in three years is a much better player than the person over the 10 years.
33:36
SPEAKER_00: That's just me.
33:37
SPEAKER_00: So then at that point, there's no battle.

37:32
SPEAKER_00: So you think you gotta hold this tire.
37:36
SPEAKER_00: Um, you go over there, you gotta wait for the person to and you have to literally slap that tire on there in one motion, hold it, and then they go through and it's and you both have to get back to the other side.
37:49
SPEAKER_00: Then when you're holding it, you gotta make sure you got that line so it don't get caught up.
37:53
SPEAKER_00: So you gotta like snatch it, go to the other side, and you have they can't slap that tire on, so y'all have to be in sync.
38:00
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you know that much about it.
38:02
SPEAKER_04: No, I know my dad watched it, but I didn't seen people get smacked by the cars, yes, all different types of things.

SPEAKER_00: And if you accidentally miss, because the other thing is once you pull that trigger, there's no letting it go.
38:19
SPEAKER_00: No, there's no you gotta warn take it.
38:23
SPEAKER_00: You have to keep that thing rolling.
38:25
SPEAKER_00: You just doom doom doom to all five.
38:28
SPEAKER_00: Wow, and then you have to step back so they can pull the tire out, put the new tire on.
38:34
SPEAKER_00: No, I've I'm wrong.
38:35
SPEAKER_00: I if I remember correctly, you once you get done, you pull that tire off, you sit it over here.
38:40
SPEAKER_00: So it's like a motion.
38:42
SPEAKER_00: So once this tire comes off, that new tire is coming in.
38:45
SPEAKER_00: Then they hold it.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: So you come, you put it down, and you gotta get up.

SPEAKER_00: He's like, 'cause you you're doing something a lot of people ain't doing, and you think you've been doing this for a year.
46:45
SPEAKER_00: Most people stop episode two or three.
46:47
SPEAKER_04: I know.
46:48
SPEAKER_04: And that's why I I keep going, because that pops up in my head all the time.
46:52
SPEAKER_04: That uh after five, like you said, two, three, four, five, whatever, uh, people tend to start quitting.
46:59
SPEAKER_04: Uh they like us a lot.
47:01
SPEAKER_04: And I'm literally editing all this stuff by myself, uh, making uh what is it?
47:08
SPEAKER_04: Uh I don't know, just doing everything by myself.
47:11
SPEAKER_04: Uh so yeah, it's tiring.
47:12
SPEAKER_04: And I didn't post it 790 something videos on YouTube.
47:16
SPEAKER_00: So I don't think we got that many on Creative Roots, but um Shout out to Ty for putting in the extra work.
47:23
SPEAKER_00: Shorts included.
47:24
SPEAKER_00: Like it's yeah, yeah.
47:26

SPEAKER_04: Um And I be posting shorts for like two days after.
47:36
SPEAKER_04: So I after I'm finished with all the shorts from that video that I wanted to use, then I go to uh make a new video and stuff like that.
47:44
SPEAKER_04: So I try to give it like a two-day in between two days, something like that.
47:48
SPEAKER_00: So you know a little bit about uh social media strategy then.
47:54
SPEAKER_04: Like I told you, I rap, so I I I knew how people used to always be like, pay for promo, uh certain things.
48:00
SPEAKER_04: Uh so I I really get it now.
48:02
SPEAKER_04: Um I get it more than what I did then.
48:05
SPEAKER_04: I don't get it a hundred percent, but I get it more than what I did when I was making music and stuff like that.
48:11
SPEAKER_00: When you say pay for promo, what do you which aspect are you referring to?
48:17
SPEAKER_04: So as an artist from the artist standpoint, this is gonna be the artist tie coming out right now.
48:22
SPEAKER_04: So when I used to rap and uh have videos or when I drop albums and stuff like that, people be in your inbox, like uh uh we'll post this for$50 or$100 and all that stuff.
48:36
SPEAKER_04: Uh you know what I'm talking about.
48:38
SPEAKER_04: Uh was it uh it's just a bunch of those websites now.
48:43
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, it's a lot of people that are in that space that are really just like we can help you.
48:50
SPEAKER_00: But the thing with me for me with that, it's not organic.
48:55
SPEAKER_03: It's not.
48:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, I I appreciate there being a massive amount of people that are promoting this, but those don't reflect, number one, my follow count, uh two, my subscriber count on YouTube, and three, they don't reflect real life.
49:17
SPEAKER_00: You know, when you and I've I've been in this space enough to where I can catch it.
49:26
SPEAKER_00: You got somebody posting two or three times on the same video, yeah.
49:30
SPEAKER_00: And it's like that could have all been one.
49:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't respond.
49:35
SPEAKER_00: So even if you get 12,000 views, you didn't there there's no engagement there.
49:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
49:42
SPEAKER_00: Because I know you didn't respond to all 10,000.
49:43
SPEAKER_00: No.
49:44
SPEAKER_00: Ain't no way in the world.
49:45
SPEAKER_00: Ain't nobody doing that.
49:46
SPEAKER_00: No.
49:47
SPEAKER_00: But after a while, that that's gonna get lost.
49:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
49:52
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I am totally against paid promotion.
49:56
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, me too.
49:57
SPEAKER_00: In that aspect.
49:58
SPEAKER_04: I asked somebody a couple weeks and no against y'all, because I know y'all could have came and took the photos.
50:02
SPEAKER_04: But I asked somebody on my birthday, uh See how he just threw that in there like that?
50:06
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't even gonna say nothing.
50:08
SPEAKER_04: Well, I asked somebody just for a couple photos.
50:11
SPEAKER_04: I said a couple, so it could have been two or three, whatever.
50:13
SPEAKER_04: I just wanted a couple photos.
50:15
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
50:16
SPEAKER_04: I asked them, they said, yeah, it'd be$250.
50:20
SPEAKER_04: I was like, wow.
50:22
SPEAKER_04: Wow, wow, wow.
50:24
SPEAKER_04: I was like, next.
50:25
SPEAKER_04: So I hit my homeboy up that I already knew that can take photos.
50:29
SPEAKER_04: I just it was quality, but I just it was like, man, look, I'm not paying you$250 right now, just for three photos.
50:35
SPEAKER_00: Not for two or three.
50:37
SPEAKER_00: We can give you more than two or three.
50:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
50:40
SPEAKER_00: For$250.
50:41
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's insane.
50:42
SPEAKER_04: Right.
50:43
SPEAKER_04: I think everybody just money hungry these days instead of let me put in the work, let's help out together, let's let's grind, and you know what I'm saying?
50:50
SPEAKER_04: We'll be up there one day.
50:52
SPEAKER_00: But and I tell people, you know, we do a lot.
50:57
SPEAKER_00: I I really do a lot.
50:58
SPEAKER_00: Shamar does a lot.
51:01
SPEAKER_00: Dina is getting to the point where she's doing a lot.
51:04
SPEAKER_05: Yes, I am.
51:08
SPEAKER_00: You know, but the thing with me is like I said on the very first episode, if it's something that you love doing, then you would be willing to do it for free.
51:16
SPEAKER_00: That's your passion.
51:18
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, to piggyback on your statement, when you get to a point, you want to make money off your passion.
51:26
SPEAKER_00: And I understand that.
51:28
SPEAKER_00: Because when I hear 250, I'm like, that's it.
51:30
SPEAKER_00: They didn't say 500, they didn't say 800.
51:33
SPEAKER_04: Oh, wow.
51:34
SPEAKER_04: You know, so it is, it's okay.
51:36
SPEAKER_00: They didn't tell you, you know, what that 250 included.
51:39
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, cause because when I hear that, oh, you want me to drive to you?
51:44
SPEAKER_00: That's that's gas.
51:46
SPEAKER_00: Then I have to scope out the place.
51:50
SPEAKER_00: Now I'm um uh scouting, you know.
51:53
SPEAKER_00: I got I gotta bring my lights, I gotta bring my camera.
51:57
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
51:57
SPEAKER_00: I might need a flash, I might need strobe, I might need to bring so now I'm piling all these things in my car.
52:03
SPEAKER_00: So I have to break them down, throw them in my car, come to your spot or wherever we're going, set that stuff back up.
52:11
SPEAKER_00: Then I have to take these pictures of you.
52:12
SPEAKER_00: And even if you say, hey, I only need two, I'm gonna take more than two.
52:17
SPEAKER_00: So now you got all of that that I gotta break all that stuff back down, put it back in my car, take it back to wherever it came from, set it back up.
52:26
SPEAKER_00: Now I have to edit these pictures.
52:29
SPEAKER_00: So when you say 250, I'm sitting here like, you should have given that man at 250.
52:34
SPEAKER_04: Nah, it was fine.
52:36
SPEAKER_00: But you know, you got you got a homeboy that was able to do it.
52:41
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, nothing wrong with that.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: You know.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
52:44
SPEAKER_00: But that that's just the price breakdown from somebody that's always behind the camera.
52:49
SPEAKER_00: Gotcha.
52:49
SPEAKER_00: You know, he's looking like, oh, that's all 250.
52:53
SPEAKER_00: And then I guess, you know, what's the skill set?
52:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, if you just started doing this, 250 is too much.
52:59
SPEAKER_04: And that's the thing.
52:59
SPEAKER_04: I feel like some people just come out the blue with these prices.
53:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, some people do.
53:04
SPEAKER_04: Instead of actually like being talented enough to charge those prices.
53:09
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
53:09
SPEAKER_00: Because you could have came in here.
53:11
SPEAKER_00: Shamar, correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't want to be misquoting, but we do.
53:16
SPEAKER_00: For$250, you could have came in here and got a plethora of photos taken in three different outfits, you know, three three sets of clothing and a bathroom provided.
53:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, you got a clothing rack to hang your stuff up on.
53:33
SPEAKER_00: You know, 250 could have gotten you a lot more.
53:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, we don't have to drive to you, yeah, but we still gotta, you know, provide the space, we provide the lights, we provide everything.
53:44
SPEAKER_00: You just walk in the door with your outfits, you switch when you get done.
53:49
SPEAKER_00: We pose you.
53:50
SPEAKER_00: If you got poses that you want to do, boom.
53:52
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I again, Shamar, don't don't come for me.
53:55
SPEAKER_00: Dana don't come for me either.
53:57
SPEAKER_00: But you're gonna, you're not coming in here and getting five, ten photos, right?
54:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, from an hour, two-hour session.
54:04
SPEAKER_00: And again, don't quote that price with that time frame because Tay Do video is a completely separate charge for that.
54:12
SPEAKER_00: You know, but you know, to I don't know, I guess to help you see where we come from with that 250 price compared to if you just started and that's I'm not paying you.
54:26
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't, I didn't even charge the most I ever charged when I first started my first year was$100.
54:32
SPEAKER_00: That was it.
54:33
SPEAKER_00: Right.
54:34
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, you're basically only paying for me to sit down and edit.
54:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:38
SPEAKER_00: You know, you didn't pay for my time at I have no skill set.
54:41
SPEAKER_00: You know, I haven't built that.
54:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, but yeah, that's why I'm like, 215?
54:47
SPEAKER_00: Bruh.
54:48
SPEAKER_00: I never understand.
54:49
SPEAKER_04: She probably would have literally came in and took like three photos because I said a couple photos.
54:53
SPEAKER_00: And probably literally would have done that.
54:56
SPEAKER_04: So I was like, nah, I ain't hit nobody else no more.
55:00
SPEAKER_04: I'm hitting you, Tay, my homeboy, and you know what I'm saying?
55:03
SPEAKER_04: All that.
55:04
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, pass on them, you know.
55:06
SPEAKER_00: Just let me know.
55:07
SPEAKER_00: But um, I don't know how long we've been talking, Dina.
55:10
SPEAKER_00: We've been talking for a long time.
55:12
unknown: 55 minutes.
55:13
SPEAKER_00: 55 minutes.
55:14
SPEAKER_00: Oh, wow.
55:14
SPEAKER_00: Oh, we're right on time, then.
55:15
SPEAKER_00: We're almost right on time.
55:16
SPEAKER_04: I enjoyed this whole conversation for sure, though.
55:19
SPEAKER_00: Me too.
55:20
SPEAKER_00: Because I guess I do know a little bit more about sports than what I've been telling y'all.
55:24
SPEAKER_04: He's building an animal, man.
55:25
SPEAKER_04: He's building an animal.
55:26
SPEAKER_04: He's talking about he likes to hit people.
55:27
SPEAKER_04: He's building up.
55:29
SPEAKER_00: You know, get out there and run.
55:31
SPEAKER_00: We got a big hill.
55:32
SPEAKER_00: And I bet y'all run up the hill, run down the hill five times a day.
55:35
SPEAKER_00: You good.
55:36
SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, run up five, come down five.
55:38
SPEAKER_04: He's looking at Ray Lewis clips.
55:40
SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
55:41

55:55
SPEAKER_05: The truck or something like that.
55:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he said he liked to hit people too.
55:58
SPEAKER_04: So they say they talk like that.
56:00
SPEAKER_04: You got something wrong.
56:01
SPEAKER_04: I like to hit people.
56:04
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, you know, I I want my son.
56:07
SPEAKER_00: I tell myself, if you gonna play, play.
56:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
56:10
SPEAKER_00: If this is what you want to do, you can't get to the NFL, you know, just well, you know, I guess, you know, it's whatever.
56:18
SPEAKER_00: Like, no, coach, yeah.
56:20
SPEAKER_00: I can take them.
56:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
56:22
SPEAKER_00: Put them in a game.
56:23
SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna have the biggest player on the team.
56:25
SPEAKER_00: Ain't nobody else coming your way.
56:27
SPEAKER_00: Now you gotta go chase them, but hey, you gotta run.
56:30
SPEAKER_00: Get them.
56:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
56:32
SPEAKER_00: Get them.
56:33
SPEAKER_00: And then what DNA said.
56:34
SPEAKER_04: Get them.
56:35
SPEAKER_04: I had a boy training an animal.
56:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm working on it.
56:38
SPEAKER_00: I'm working on it.
56:39
SPEAKER_00: You know.
56:40
SPEAKER_00: So, um, Dino, what's the last question we do?
56:45
SPEAKER_00: I got it.
56:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
56:46
SPEAKER_00: She gave it a look like, I don't remember.
56:49
SPEAKER_06: I was trying to go in.
56:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
56:53
SPEAKER_00: So everything that you've done, the accolades, the the assistance, the support, you know, clearing your mind of the naysayers, knowing what you know, and being able to say, I see this being something that I can over time start monetizing.
57:12
SPEAKER_00: What advice would you give to another creator that's also having the same mindset?
57:21
SPEAKER_04: And I'm not gonna just all right, so in the beginning, go as hard as you can, like every day, even if you feel like the video don't look as clear or whatever like that.
57:30
SPEAKER_04: I got a lot of videos in the beginning, and yes, you came over there and edited and adjusted, but a lot of them, it's not as clear.
57:37
SPEAKER_04: You go back and look at them, they not as don't try to be perfect.
57:42
SPEAKER_04: That's all I'm gonna say.
57:43
SPEAKER_04: Don't try to be too perfect, like drop this content, just drop it, be consistent uh every day.
57:49
SPEAKER_04: Uh I know you gotta take some mental breaks, but in the beginning, if you really want this and you're trying to build them subscribers and all that, you have to go hard early on.
57:58
SPEAKER_04: Like you have to very early.
58:00
SPEAKER_04: Like, you have to go hard.
58:03
SPEAKER_00: Go hard and put it out.
58:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
58:06
SPEAKER_00: Regardless of how you feel about it.
58:08
SPEAKER_00: Look, don't be a perfectionist.
58:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
58:10
SPEAKER_00: Because if you're trying to be a perfectionist, you're not really going as hard as you think you are.
58:16
SPEAKER_04: And look, it's a podcast.
58:17
SPEAKER_04: We're talking.
58:17
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
58:18
SPEAKER_04: You're gonna have talking.
58:19
SPEAKER_04: You're gonna have little phone mic drop or something like that.
58:23
SPEAKER_04: You're gonna have certain things like that.
58:24
SPEAKER_04: It's it's okay.
58:26
SPEAKER_04: It's okay.
58:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it's rare to have watch a podcast when they talk to people off camera, like I do.
58:31
SPEAKER_00: You know, is it's people want things to be so structured, but even like um Maya Lamy said, she's like, I might wake up in the morning with a thought or something to say, I still got crust in my eyes, and I ain't brushed my teeth.
58:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
58:48
SPEAKER_04: I didn't show plenty of podcasts, you know.
58:50
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
58:51
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
58:51
SPEAKER_00: You know, she still got the bonnet on, but she got a thought, she got a recorded.
58:56
SPEAKER_00: She like, because by the time you walk in the bathroom, you take care of yourself, you get yourself ready, you get yourself adjusted, camera ready, it's it's a wrap.
59:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
59:07
SPEAKER_00: You don't have that same thought.
59:09
SPEAKER_00: No.
59:09
SPEAKER_00: You you don't you're not processing it the same way.
59:12
SPEAKER_00: Your emotion about that thing is not gonna come out the same way.
59:16
SPEAKER_00: Just press record.
59:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's he's exactly right.
59:20
SPEAKER_04: Just do it.
59:21
SPEAKER_04: Like just do it.
59:22
SPEAKER_04: Just do it.
59:22
SPEAKER_04: It does not have to be perfect at all.
59:24
SPEAKER_04: It's you're just talking.
59:26
SPEAKER_04: You're just talking.
59:27
SPEAKER_00: And and another thing too, you know, um Kev on stage and a bunch of other people have said it.
59:33
SPEAKER_00: Most people are watching your content on the toilet.
59:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
59:35
SPEAKER_00: Which means they own their phone.
59:36
SPEAKER_00: Or at work, listening with headphones on.
59:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they listen at work.
59:40
SPEAKER_00: You know, even even listening to the podcast while you're driving.
59:44
SPEAKER_00: You know, you don't have to see it.
59:46
SPEAKER_00: Now, don't discount the visual aspect and feel you can just leave this raggedy looking video for years.
59:56
SPEAKER_00: That's not what I'm saying.
59:58
SPEAKER_00: You gotta get better, you gotta get better at the camera visually to improve because there's gonna be a point where people really are stopping to watch and not just listen.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:00:09
SPEAKER_00: You know, like I know here, people sometimes you have to watch what's going on.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, there's not dead silence just because Tay don't know what to say next and the guests ain't talking.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_00: Tay might be looking off camera trying to figure out what's going on.
1:00:21
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:00:21
SPEAKER_00: You know, Tay might be looking at Dina, I might be looking at Shamar.
1:00:26
SPEAKER_00: You know, the episode with Jonathan a couple weeks ago, you know, when one of his guests was dropping his phone, I was like, and there he go, dropping that phone again.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_00: And he like, my bad.
1:00:37
SPEAKER_00: In the background, I'm like, bro, you good, you good, but yeah, don't hold that phone.
1:00:42
SPEAKER_04: Aware.
1:00:43
SPEAKER_04: Just like, don't be doing it on purpose.
1:00:46
SPEAKER_00: Like, don't don't do certain things.
1:00:48
SPEAKER_00: Okay, there are some people that do this for um attention.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:00:54
SPEAKER_00: And when I say that is like, you know, they're they are um intentionally doing something.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what they call that in the gaming community.
1:01:02
SPEAKER_00: Like, it's like, man, I wonder if I can go across this bridge without dying.
1:01:07
SPEAKER_00: But you know if you go across that bridge, it's the wrong way.
1:01:10
SPEAKER_00: It's designed in the game for you to not make it across that bridge.
1:01:14
SPEAKER_00: Or it's like, oh, I wonder if in this game, if it'll let you run across the edge of this cliff without falling off.
1:01:21
SPEAKER_00: Gamers know it, and it's like, hey, well, let's see what happens.
1:01:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, snap.
1:01:27
SPEAKER_00: Then it fell off the cliff.
1:01:29
SPEAKER_00: Because it's like one of those don't do it type things, but people expect you to do it.
1:01:34
SPEAKER_00: You know, I can't remember what it's called, but they call it they call it something.
1:01:38
SPEAKER_00: Um bait clipping, clip bait baiting, uh, something like whatever it is.
1:01:42
SPEAKER_04: I know what you're talking about, yeah.
1:01:44
SPEAKER_04: Clipping, bait clipping, uh whatever it is.
1:01:46
SPEAKER_04: I'm getting old too.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_04: So it's one of them.
1:01:49
SPEAKER_00: You know, so I'm like, you don't necessarily have to do that, but I know for me too, and I've said this before.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_00: Um, I listened to one or two people, and they were like, speak in um clips.
1:02:02
SPEAKER_00: So it's like when you speak, whatever you speak, think about would this be something that can be turned into a clip later on?
1:02:10
SPEAKER_00: You know, of course, everything that you say is not gonna turn into a clip, but keeping that mentality as you speak, when you're having a conversation in general, you know, like they will at one point, you know, Nigel was like table dropping gems.
1:02:23
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm just talking.
1:02:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm just talking, you know, I'm not trying to drop no gems, I'm not trying to be super educational, but I know I am, you know, you like, you know, I'm just naturally funny.
1:02:34
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, most of the time I'm not trying to be funny, it just happens.
1:02:38
SPEAKER_00: You're just naturally funny, man.
1:02:40
SPEAKER_00: Just natural, you know.
1:02:42
SPEAKER_00: And you know, they people be like, you and Shamar always arguing.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, because I know what to say to get you know um conversational pieces from Shamar back there.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_00: Right, you know, I'd be like, Shamar, you ain't got nothing to say.
1:02:58
SPEAKER_00: Why are you bothering me?
1:02:59
SPEAKER_00: I'm just sitting here watching and enjoying the conversation, you know.
1:03:03
SPEAKER_00: But you know, go from the beginning.
1:03:09
SPEAKER_00: If this is truly something you want to do, do it.
1:03:13
SPEAKER_00: Don't focus so hard on the quality.
1:03:16
SPEAKER_00: However, audio is definitely more important than video, no matter how clean that video is.
1:03:25
SPEAKER_00: If you sound like this the whole doggone time, it's not gonna work.
1:03:30
SPEAKER_00: And I don't even know how that's gonna sound when I actually edit the audio for this, but y'all understand my point.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_00: Stop putting out that raggedy audio.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_00: Put out that raggedy video because most people don't listen.
1:03:43
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, man.
1:03:45
SPEAKER_04: Some people be trying to put videos out from like, what is it, iPhone 4s and stuff like that.
1:03:50
SPEAKER_04: I'd be like, bro.
1:03:53
SPEAKER_04: Like, nah.
1:03:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if that's all you got.
1:03:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I true.
1:03:58
SPEAKER_00: I understand what you're saying.
1:04:00
SPEAKER_00: But first of all, why do you still have an iPhone 4?
1:04:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, there no, I don't think anybody should have anything less than at this point an iPhone.
1:04:07
SPEAKER_00: I'll say an iPhone 8.
1:04:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:04:10
SPEAKER_00: Anything less than an iPhone 8, just stop.
1:04:12
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:04:13
SPEAKER_00: Use your phone, use your lighting right.
1:04:16
SPEAKER_00: You know, because almost every phone in the last five years or so, every phone does 4K 30.
1:04:25
SPEAKER_00: It sure do.
1:04:26
SPEAKER_00: It sure do.
1:04:27
SPEAKER_04: And you're teaching me a lot about this lighting too.
1:04:30
SPEAKER_04: I'm starting to see what you're saying.
1:04:31
SPEAKER_04: Like, if you had that adjusted right, you get the best quality out of it for sure.
1:04:35
SPEAKER_00: But so I mean, these two lights, they're right above our heads, but they're aimed down.
1:04:40
SPEAKER_00: That instantly cancels the shadow going straight back.
1:04:44
SPEAKER_00: Um, they make my big old forehead a little shiny too, you know.
1:04:47
SPEAKER_00: And then it being that high, unless I raise my head, there's really no lens glare.
1:04:52
SPEAKER_00: Dina, am I lying?
1:04:54
SPEAKER_00: Am I right?
1:04:55
SPEAKER_00: Lens glare?
1:04:56
SPEAKER_00: No lens glare.
1:05:00
SPEAKER_05: Oh, your glasses or your head.
1:05:01
SPEAKER_00: Oh, my glasses.

1:06:40
SPEAKER_04: You don't gotta do too much.
1:06:42
SPEAKER_04: Right.
1:06:42
SPEAKER_04: And then I took that from there.
1:06:44
SPEAKER_00: So it's a podcast.
1:06:46
SPEAKER_00: We're talking about podcasting.
1:06:48
SPEAKER_04: It should be natural.
1:06:49
SPEAKER_04: Podcasting.
1:06:50
SPEAKER_04: It should be natural.
1:06:51
SPEAKER_04: It's not a movie, it's a podcast.
1:06:53
SPEAKER_04: Right.
1:06:54
SPEAKER_00: You know, now if you want it scripted, need a scripting, you know, like if you're by yourself and you just want to read a script, there's nothing wrong with that.
1:07:01
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:07:02
SPEAKER_00: If you want to have your talking points, there's nothing wrong with that.
1:07:05
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I ask the same three questions and then I open the floor for a question to be asked.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_00: It's the same process, but I tell everybody you come here, we at your favorite cousin's house, number one.
1:07:18
SPEAKER_00: Shout out to Charlotte Podcast Studio again.
1:07:21
SPEAKER_00: I would like to thank us.
1:07:22
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, Dina, because I seen you.
1:07:24
SPEAKER_05: I would like to thank us.
1:07:26
SPEAKER_00: See.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_00: And we make it very inviting from the from before you get here.
1:07:33
SPEAKER_00: I ask the same three questions, but it's also structured to where no matter what those three qu how those three questions are asked, you make the conversation.
1:07:45
SPEAKER_00: You determine how long we're here.
1:07:47
SPEAKER_00: You know, and again, no, no disrespect or no shots at anybody's episode that's been, you know, less than 45 minutes.
1:07:54
SPEAKER_00: But if you're getting in and you're dropping a lot of gems, and I can't really ask nothing, I'm just sitting in awe of what took place.
1:08:01
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:08:02
SPEAKER_00: I got one question for you.
1:08:03
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
1:08:04
SPEAKER_00: What makes you keep doing this?
1:08:07
SPEAKER_00: If Shamar was here, he would say, Shamar.
1:08:11
SPEAKER_00: But that that's that's part of it.
1:08:13
SPEAKER_00: The reason why I keep going is just because this is something that I like to do.
1:08:18
SPEAKER_00: I like talking to people, I like knowing about their journey, their story.
1:08:23
SPEAKER_00: I'm a storyteller.
1:08:24
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm working on three short films at the same time.
1:08:28
SPEAKER_00: One is done, but I still have the other two to do.
1:08:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm a storyteller and I like to hear stories.
1:08:34
SPEAKER_00: And then I also look at this too like this is like um MTV behind the music.
1:08:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, you don't really hear anything about people, famous people, until they are on a show like that.
1:08:49
SPEAKER_00: Or they're in an interview.
1:08:52
SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't call these interviews, you know, these are conversations.
1:08:56
SPEAKER_00: But I keep going because I just love to hear people's story, where they come from, where they're working towards getting to, um, and where they are.
1:09:07
unknown: Okay.
1:09:08
SPEAKER_00: You know, and then letting other people know that, you know, there's more than just what you see from famous people that's out there, you know, things that are taking place, things that are going on, you know, locally.
1:09:21
SPEAKER_00: You know, Charlotte, Concord, Canapolis, you know, Gastonia, all these surrounding cities, people are coming from those cities here.
1:09:29
SPEAKER_00: You know, two of the ladies from February, they came from Greensboro.
1:09:34
SPEAKER_00: Greensboro.
1:09:36
SPEAKER_00: You know.
1:09:37
SPEAKER_00: So we we get a a plethora of people.
1:09:42
SPEAKER_00: You know, we've had people fly in.
1:09:44
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
1:09:44
SPEAKER_00: You know, so it's like just knowing there are people out there that are grinding, that are not high on a totem pole, and you know, uh, what's the word?
1:09:58
SPEAKER_00: Famous.
1:10:00
SPEAKER_00: But we all here, we all do something different, you know, and even if we do the same thing, we also got a story.
1:10:07
SPEAKER_02: True.
1:10:08
SPEAKER_00: So that's why I keep doing this.
1:10:10
SPEAKER_00: And Shamar.
1:10:12
SPEAKER_04: He's not gonna let you stop.
1:10:14
SPEAKER_00: And Trail, because those were the two people that I was like, man, I'm about, you know, after this episode, I'm taking a break.
1:10:20
SPEAKER_00: I was like, nah, yeah, you can't take no break.
1:10:22
SPEAKER_00: So I keep going.
1:10:25
SPEAKER_04: And this, I wouldn't really say that I had a week break because I shot a video.
1:10:28
SPEAKER_04: Well, I dropped a video early on this week, and then I had to do a podcast yesterday, and then I'm here with y'all.
1:10:34
SPEAKER_04: So it really ain't no break, but it feels like a break.
1:10:36
SPEAKER_00: I mean, when you when you take that mental health break, you you need a reset.
1:10:42
SPEAKER_00: Everybody needs to reset.
1:10:44
SPEAKER_04: You can tell when you need to just uh let me miss a lot right now.
1:10:48
SPEAKER_00: So that's why now um everybody knows that we pre-record, right?
1:10:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but now I've gotten to the point where if I can't, I can I'll record everybody the same day or the same weekend.
1:11:01
SPEAKER_00: You know, um, I'm working on theming certain months this year.
1:11:06
