1:49
Speaker 3: how was the hiatus? I know you took us some time,
1:52
Speaker 3: you know, to refocus, regroup, had a lot of life
1:55
Speaker 3: stuff going on, So how was the yatis?
1:57
Speaker 2: That's That's pretty much all it was. I just had
1:59
Speaker 2: to focused on everything. And y'all gonna hear in the
2:03
Speaker 2: first episode that come out March first, y'all gonna hear
2:06
Speaker 2: me talk about everything. But I just had to. I
2:08
Speaker 2: had to do a whole lot of self reflection on
2:11
Speaker 2: myself and my podcast. I had to think about, you know,
2:14
Speaker 2: what direction I wanted to go now? Because at some point,
2:18
Speaker 2: you know, when you're doing this or any type of
2:20
Speaker 2: content creation, at some point you get to you get
2:24
Speaker 2: you get to a point in your uh, in your
2:27
Speaker 2: career where you're like, man, what now, you know what
2:29
Speaker 2: I'm saying or what else I'm gonna talk about? Now?
2:31
Speaker 2: What direction I'm going now? Because we can't keep recording
2:35
Speaker 2: episodes forever, so at some point it's like, what I'm
2:38
Speaker 2: gonna do now? Like with you, Kiki, you know you
2:39
Speaker 2: an author, you can write books, you write magazines. You
2:42
Speaker 2: know you can do this, do that. You know you
2:45
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta have for everything, And for me myself,
2:48
Speaker 2: for the most part, the only had our ward was
2:51
Speaker 2: just podcasting. So I always mentioned here and then that
2:55
Speaker 2: it's just the foundation for me because you know, I'm versatile,
2:59
Speaker 2: I can I want to do other things though, you know,
3:01
Speaker 2: I want to put a book out, I want to
3:04
Speaker 2: showcase my acting skills, I want to do the talk
3:07
Speaker 2: show host thing. I want to do a little bit
3:09
Speaker 2: of everything. So hopefully with this podcast and putting episodes
3:14
Speaker 2: and my voice out did and open up doors to
3:17
Speaker 2: a lot of those things.
3:19
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, And so you're moving at it the right way.
3:22
Speaker 1: You have that mindset of growth. You don't have that
3:25
Speaker 1: scarcity or lack mentality like some people get complacent and
3:29
Speaker 1: just feel like, Okay, I'm good right here, it's comfortable.
3:32
Speaker 1: I don't like change, I don't want to grow, and
3:34
Speaker 1: you ain't never been like that.
3:35
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I ain't gonna lie though, Like I
3:39
Speaker 2: felt like that for a little bit. I felt like
3:43
Speaker 2: it's not that I didn't want changes that like I
3:46
Speaker 2: was scared to do something. You know how they say
3:49
Speaker 2: dare to be great? Right, Like I was scared to
3:51
Speaker 2: do something new because what I was already doing was
3:56
Speaker 2: working real well. So I was like, dang, what if
3:58
Speaker 2: I do this and it don't work? See what I'm saying. So,
4:01
Speaker 2: like I mentioned a bunch of times already like this
4:05
Speaker 2: new my new social media page for Instagram. Right when
4:08
Speaker 2: I remade that page, it was hard to get my
4:11
Speaker 2: followers back. Oh yeah, and like so and people say
4:15
Speaker 2: they don't pay attention to the followers and all this
4:18
Speaker 2: and all that, But I say, that's that's the most
4:21
Speaker 2: important thing because that just me and you got more
4:23
Speaker 2: eyes on your stuff, more eyes on your content, more
4:27
Speaker 2: ears listen to your content. Because just imagine trying to
4:30
Speaker 2: push a podcast or promote your social media and you
4:34
Speaker 2: got twenty followers. Yeah, that's twenty people, but like, come on,
4:38
Speaker 2: let's be real. But if you have seven thousand, you
4:42
Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. You got seven thousand people to impress.
4:46
Speaker 2: You got seven thousand people to impress, which is a
4:48
Speaker 2: better chance and just trying to you know what I'm saying,
4:51
Speaker 2: and press twenty people, it's still the same thing. But
4:53
Speaker 2: you know, seven and twenty two different numbers obviously, but
4:57
Speaker 2: I was in a place where I was like, man,
4:59
Speaker 2: I don't know this is gonna work. But and it's
5:01
Speaker 2: not that I ain't even gonna use the word scared.
5:04
Speaker 2: I was never scared to do anything. I'm never scared
5:06
Speaker 2: to do nothing. But it's just like it's more so
5:08
Speaker 2: like man, I hope this thing work or I don't
5:11
Speaker 2: think this will work or something like that. I don't know.
5:13
Speaker 2: It's it's crazy, this whole this whole thing crazy.
5:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I get exactly what you're saying, like I
5:19
Speaker 1: want to do more, but what's working. If it don't,
5:21
Speaker 1: if it's not broke, don't fix it.
5:23
Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
5:24
Speaker 1: But I agree with those followers because I started my
5:27
Speaker 1: media page and trying to get the people that follow
5:30
Speaker 1: you on your other page to cross over. It's like
5:33
Speaker 1: pulling teeth, Like, nah, I already follow you on some
5:36
Speaker 1: I don't share the same content on both my pages though,
5:39
Speaker 1: you know.
5:39
Speaker 2: What I had to do a lot of times I
5:42
Speaker 2: direct I DM people directly, like I literally, like like
5:47
Speaker 2: just the other day, I went to my old real
5:49
Speaker 2: Talk with ten page because it's still up. It's still up.
5:53
Speaker 2: So I went to the page, I went to the followers,
5:56
Speaker 2: and now everybody that I knew or recognized, I DM
6:00
Speaker 2: all them one by one by one by one, because
6:04
Speaker 2: I always say that it's people are Look. I love people,
6:07
Speaker 2: but people are slow. Sometimes you gotta hold they hand.
6:10
Speaker 2: You gotta hold their hand because you can't just like
6:13
Speaker 2: you can't just like message people or not even just
6:17
Speaker 2: mess with You can't just post something and sit and
6:20
Speaker 2: think people want to see it. Because a lot of times,
6:23
Speaker 2: and I guarantee you, you and I do this too
6:24
Speaker 2: when we get on our social media pages. It don't
6:27
Speaker 2: even got to be our podcast pages. It could be
6:29
Speaker 2: a personal pages whatever. I can guarantee you eighty percent
6:33
Speaker 2: of people do this. They scroll for a minute like this.
6:36
Speaker 2: They keep this with people do they scroll like this?
6:39
Speaker 2: Just keep you. But that's just the mindset of people now,
6:44
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if it's I don't know if
6:45
Speaker 2: it's people saying to themselves like same shit, every day,
6:48
Speaker 2: same But that's crazy. And see what I say in
6:53
Speaker 2: my first episode. When I come back, I tell myself,
6:55
Speaker 2: I say, I feel like another statistic because everybody got
6:59
Speaker 2: a podcasts, everybody getting a podcast.
7:04
Speaker 3: So but but it's only you it's only one you.
7:06
Speaker 2: That it's only one me. But the point I'm trying
7:09
Speaker 2: to make it is like it's like, all right, I'm
7:12
Speaker 2: just another My podcast is just another podcast. But I
7:16
Speaker 2: just gotta make it stand out. I gotta make it
7:19
Speaker 2: stand out to the people who do this, yep. Like
7:22
Speaker 2: that's that's why they have things like promoting and stuff
7:25
Speaker 2: like that. But how can you promote when you gotta
7:27
Speaker 2: if you ain't using the right hashtags or the right
7:31
Speaker 2: tagging the right people. And even if you do tag people, man,
7:35
Speaker 2: it's like they like, you know, but I say a
7:39
Speaker 2: whole lot of things in my first episode when I
7:41
Speaker 2: when I when you're all here March first, man, oh
7:43
Speaker 2: my god, Like I kind of snapped a little bit.
7:46
Speaker 3: Hey, sometimes it needs to be said. Sometimes you need
7:50
Speaker 3: to be said.
7:51
Speaker 1: But you know, and in the in the creativity realm,
7:55
Speaker 1: it's all about who you know, and it's all about
7:59
Speaker 1: the people that said the top. They're not pulling us,
8:01
Speaker 1: the little people that put into the work, that got
8:04
Speaker 1: the episodes to proven and stuff like that. They getting
8:07
Speaker 1: other people that that's that's into the fame part. Like
8:10
Speaker 1: they got eyes on it, and I get it. I
8:12
Speaker 1: totally understand. But it's like somebody that's making a difference,
8:16
Speaker 1: that's giving people of voices, that's sharing episodes, that's about
8:20
Speaker 1: real reality and being truthful talking because you know, you're
8:25
Speaker 1: talking about life as a girl, girl as a girl, Dad,
8:28
Speaker 1: you're getting wrong with stuff about that you.
8:31
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just it's a catch twenty.
8:34
Speaker 2: I got five of those, by the way, y'all five
8:36
Speaker 2: of those, and actually one of one of those, one
8:40
Speaker 2: of them, I think it's the the first one, one
8:44
Speaker 2: of them, I think is my most played episode ever
8:47
Speaker 2: though mm hmm. Actually Life is a Girl, That Life
8:52
Speaker 2: is a Girl, that the first Life is a Girl
8:54
Speaker 2: Dad is my second most played episode ever out of
8:58
Speaker 2: my out of all of my coin my first one,
9:01
Speaker 2: my first one is my interview that I did with
9:04
Speaker 2: Tyler Paride season seven and eight writers from the show Systems.
9:09
Speaker 2: That was that's my most played episode ever. You see
9:11
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
9:13
Speaker 3: So, look, it's gonna happen to him.
9:16
Speaker 1: You just gotta stay stay consistent, stay passionate about it,
9:21
Speaker 1: and stay putting that content out because you got to
9:23
Speaker 1: put the content out. Even when you take a highatus,
9:26
Speaker 1: you know, it's good to relax and regroup and rewind
9:28
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I always try to have something that
9:31
Speaker 1: you've already created to put, like clips from from last
9:35
Speaker 1: year or last season and stuff like that so you
9:37
Speaker 1: can stay.
9:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was. I was thinking about it
9:41
Speaker 2: before the New Year kicked out. I was gonna do that,
9:44
Speaker 2: but then I.
9:44
Speaker 3: Was like, you talk yourself out of it, man.
9:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I talked about See. I think part of my
9:51
Speaker 2: problem is, like I'm very picky with what I put out,
9:54
Speaker 2: and I do that when I record my episodes, because
9:57
Speaker 2: even if I make the slightest mistake, like I like,
9:59
Speaker 2: I a lot of you not episode two of season
10:03
Speaker 2: eight that's about to come out. I recorded, it, is
10:06
Speaker 2: recorded and done already, right, but I was unhappy with
10:11
Speaker 2: it after it recorded because my voice sounded too far
10:16
Speaker 2: away from the mic. So I told my guests in
10:22
Speaker 2: the next season, I said, we gotta do this over
10:25
Speaker 2: because when you listen to all my stuff, my voice
10:30
Speaker 2: is it sounds a certain way. When you listen to
10:32
Speaker 2: this one my voice that sounds far away, and I
10:36
Speaker 2: can't just put that out. It got to be right.
10:40
Speaker 2: I got I work. I worked hard on myself. You
10:43
Speaker 2: see what I'm saying, So and speaking of that. It's like,
10:48
Speaker 2: I don't want to just like like because it's been
10:51
Speaker 2: so long since I put out something, put out an episode.
10:55
Speaker 2: I don't want to just be putting out stuff old
10:58
Speaker 2: stuff that people seen, or I don't want to just
11:01
Speaker 2: keep putting out quotes and stuff like that. I want
11:04
Speaker 2: to put out an episode. It's gonna come March first.
11:10
Speaker 2: The reason why it's so far out is because I
11:13
Speaker 2: want to make sure the whole season is recorded and
11:16
Speaker 2: done so I won't have to have no problems on recording,
11:21
Speaker 2: taking no layoffs, and even after this season done, see
11:24
Speaker 2: I want to get to a point where I want
11:26
Speaker 2: to just do like only lives, like not just Instagram Live,
11:31
Speaker 2: maybe YouTube lives. I don't know. I don't really want
11:32
Speaker 2: to push a YouTube thing too much, but I want
11:34
Speaker 2: to get to a point where my podcast is only
11:38
Speaker 2: a live podcast once a week. I don't want to
11:42
Speaker 2: keep doing the ten plus episode things because it's gonna
11:47
Speaker 2: become too much. But I want to get see my followers,
11:52
Speaker 2: my followers. Got to get to a point where I
11:55
Speaker 2: have like I have the same amount of people that
11:59
Speaker 2: tune in and like I can engage with people, you know,
12:03
Speaker 2: like how you join the typical celebrities live and they
12:06
Speaker 2: got like one hundred people, two hundred one thousand, So
12:10
Speaker 2: you can talk and float with it, and people can
12:13
Speaker 2: be saying stuff in the comments and you can piggyback
12:15
Speaker 2: off what they're saying, turn it into a convo, like.
12:18
Speaker 1: Oh, you already know. That's how my podcast started live
12:20
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I was going live every Monday night. And
12:24
Speaker 1: you build like that and people get a face behind
12:27
Speaker 1: the voice, and then you know, you just have a
12:30
Speaker 1: you build up since some community and stuff. Yeah, yeah,
12:34
Speaker 1: I love that idea though.
12:35
Speaker 2: I love that.
12:36
Speaker 1: I think that'll be amazing. And I told you about
12:38
Speaker 1: the games, Like, get some of them games and have
12:40
Speaker 1: them people come up here. We're gonna play a game
12:42
Speaker 1: because people like to compete and stuff like that.
12:44
Speaker 2: Man, I don't think they're ready for them game.
12:49
Speaker 3: But we don't talk about life a little bit.
12:51
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it, but when it comes to
12:53
Speaker 1: I mean, because we both podcasts and you've been podcasting
12:56
Speaker 1: a little bit longer than me, when it comes to life,
12:58
Speaker 1: what have you learned? What have you being a podcaster
13:03
Speaker 1: taught you about life?
13:08
Speaker 2: What's the way to word uh with podcasting? Talk me
13:11
Speaker 2: about life is just take everything one step at a time.
13:15
Speaker 2: Don't overwhelm yourself, because one thing about podcasting you going
13:20
Speaker 2: to multitask, especially like if you're doing it by yourself,
13:23
Speaker 2: if you promoting by yourself, you editing by yourself, you
13:29
Speaker 2: engaging on the social media as by yourself. You ain't
13:32
Speaker 2: got nobody running your pages, You ain't got nobody editing
13:35
Speaker 2: your stuff. You ain't got nobody adding the music to
13:37
Speaker 2: your stuff. You ain't got nobody doing none.
13:39
Speaker 1: Of that, and yourself too.
13:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's like when you are doing all
13:45
Speaker 2: of that, you get you can get overwhelmed, you can
13:48
Speaker 2: feel defeated, you can feel like you don't want to
13:50
Speaker 2: do it no more. And the only reason you feel
13:53
Speaker 2: like that is because it ain't really no results showing
13:58
Speaker 2: that it's like pushing you to do or like like
14:00
Speaker 2: I always say, like when I'm not posting, people be
14:03
Speaker 2: asking me like when you're coming out with another episode
14:06
Speaker 2: or why you stop or when the next one coming out?
14:09
Speaker 2: When people do that to me or say that to
14:12
Speaker 2: me and make me feel like, damn, y'all you still
14:15
Speaker 2: want to hear this and it ain't but a handful
14:18
Speaker 2: of people that, like I guess it's people that know
14:21
Speaker 2: me directly or personally, that contact me directly or whatever.
14:25
Speaker 2: When they do that, it make me feel real good
14:27
Speaker 2: because it's like, damn, so I cannot be doing something
14:31
Speaker 2: and people notice. So that's the only thing that pushed me,
14:36
Speaker 2: like literally, because I'm still going to be the person
14:41
Speaker 2: that y'all hear and see this on the platform. I'm
14:44
Speaker 2: still a talker. I still got the personality y'all see.
14:47
Speaker 2: I'm still doing this and showing this offline. But when
14:52
Speaker 2: I do it online and I take it offline, and
14:56
Speaker 2: you know I took it offline, they make me want
14:58
Speaker 2: to keep it online. You see what I'm saying.
15:00
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
15:01
Speaker 2: So that's so. So I think when people get defeated,
15:04
Speaker 2: field defeated, feel overwhell and all that and they not
15:07
Speaker 2: receiving love and stuff like that. That data that's yeah,
15:11
Speaker 2: that's what life taught me. All right.
15:14
Speaker 3: I love that.
15:15
Speaker 1: I love that, And we're gonna talk a little bit
15:18
Speaker 1: and that you could be that devil's advocate or I
15:22
Speaker 1: can be devil's advocate when it comes to podcasting, because
15:26
Speaker 1: I know it's a certain podcaster that's making millions off
15:29
Speaker 1: his podcast that you absolutely despise this because when you're
15:39
Speaker 1: trying to get no lawsuits or nothing like that.
15:41
Speaker 3: But when you listen to podcasts.
15:43
Speaker 1: Or when you come across people and their content bashing
15:47
Speaker 1: one one species over the other, how does that make
15:50
Speaker 1: you feel? And how does it make you want to
15:53
Speaker 1: go even harder with your content? Because you're you're you're number.
15:57
Speaker 1: You know, you're not biased when it comes to the
15:59
Speaker 1: stuff that you put out. How you back?
16:05
Speaker 2: I mean when I I obviously know what I mean,
16:08
Speaker 2: I be getting it. I understand why they do it.
16:11
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because I'm like, all right, this,
16:14
Speaker 2: this is their thing because they want to attract this
16:16
Speaker 2: type of audience. So I get it. I'm not hating,
16:20
Speaker 2: but it's like, but when I hear it, I just
16:22
Speaker 2: be like, like your listeners they got it. They like
16:25
Speaker 2: they can't be that slow and stupid, you know what
16:27
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Because like when you say, like, for example,
16:31
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get on here and say, ladies, when
16:35
Speaker 2: this how you know a man cheating because when he
16:38
Speaker 2: do this, you he he mean this. Or make sure
16:41
Speaker 2: you go through his phone because it's always in his phone,
16:45
Speaker 2: or and then my next video say ladies, this is
16:49
Speaker 2: how you know your man, don't look you. And then
16:51
Speaker 2: my next video say ladies, fourth video, ladies, fifth video, ladies.
16:56
Speaker 2: Like you clearly want like you clearly care whole lot
17:00
Speaker 2: about your female follow female listeners to the point where
17:03
Speaker 2: you want to you want your content to cater to them.
17:07
Speaker 2: But what I care about is if you mixing it up,
17:11
Speaker 2: if you say, fellas, this is how you know Fellas,
17:15
Speaker 2: this is what you pay attention to, Fellas, this is
17:18
Speaker 2: what you do fellas, this is how you do it.
17:21
Speaker 2: That's what I care about, because I'd be like, come on, man, like,
17:25
Speaker 2: I know what you're doing, but that's not the way
17:27
Speaker 2: to do it. Wont you give a little bit of
17:29
Speaker 2: something to each person? Do do it that way? But
17:33
Speaker 2: when I but when I sit and think about it,
17:35
Speaker 2: sometimes I'm not even gonna lie, I ain't even gonna lie.
17:38
Speaker 2: Like sometimes I be asking myself like is that the
17:42
Speaker 2: way to go? Is that the way to progress? Do
17:45
Speaker 2: you really have to be?
17:47
Speaker 1: Like?
17:48
Speaker 2: Do you really have to cater to get your shit
17:51
Speaker 2: out there? Do you really have to only? Like imagine
17:54
Speaker 2: if if if I had, if I had a podcast
17:57
Speaker 2: right that was specifically for men, and all I did
18:03
Speaker 2: is bash women. I will not have no female listeners
18:07
Speaker 2: because I will be bashing the hell out of them.
18:10
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying? What if? What if? What if?
18:13
Speaker 2: All my content was like, hey, fellas, man, just how
18:17
Speaker 2: you know your lady cheating on your fellas?
18:19
Speaker 1: This?
18:19
Speaker 2: How you know your lady lying to you?
18:20
Speaker 3: Man?
18:20
Speaker 2: Check her phone? Man, do this? Don't do this shit
18:23
Speaker 2: for her Shade White's material. They were like, they gonna
18:26
Speaker 2: scroll right on paths.
18:28
Speaker 1: Man.
18:28
Speaker 2: Nigga please, nigga, please, nigga, please, like, come on, man,
18:31
Speaker 2: I just I just hate it. That's why I always
18:34
Speaker 2: stay neutral unless it's an unless it's something where uh
18:41
Speaker 2: it has to be said, then I'm going to say
18:46
Speaker 2: it about that particular agenda. I got an episode called
18:49
Speaker 2: Dead be Dad's. I got an episode called Journey through Fatherhood.
18:54
Speaker 2: I got an episode called Applying Pressure and that applies
18:59
Speaker 2: to everybody m I got an episode called Toxic Men
19:04
Speaker 2: Versus Toxic Women Part one ad Part two. I got
19:08
Speaker 2: an episode called Ken a Woman Chopperman with a baby.
19:12
Speaker 2: I got an episode called Blended Families. My ship is neutral.
19:17
Speaker 2: It's for everybody. Everybody, and the type of things that
19:21
Speaker 2: I talk about, I'd be like I'm talking about everything.
19:24
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be positive, but nobody cares about positivity,
19:31
Speaker 2: negativity and sex.
19:33
Speaker 1: That right. But here's the thing though, because your best friend,
19:36
Speaker 1: he somebody must have got in his ear because he
19:39
Speaker 1: has another show that he has men and women guest
19:42
Speaker 1: on there, so he needed he needed to join forces
19:46
Speaker 1: with the opposite sex bring it more of a neutral ground,
19:51
Speaker 1: because I know.
19:52
Speaker 3: For a fact some men and women.
19:55
Speaker 1: Was probably getting in his ass about like, look, this
19:58
Speaker 1: is not right and you need to quit doing it.
20:00
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that it's working out. You know, you
20:02
Speaker 1: got your sponsors. The sponsors want you to have this
20:04
Speaker 1: type of deal or this type of show because you've
20:06
Speaker 1: been bringing in the money with the views and content
20:09
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. You got to do it because
20:11
Speaker 1: guess what, you want to make sure that you keep
20:12
Speaker 1: your sponsorship.
20:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a shit. Look that's another thing, man.
20:18
Speaker 2: I ain't even gonna lie like I've been showing some
20:21
Speaker 2: real desperate actions, man, because I be dming, I'll probably
20:25
Speaker 2: already be knowing like I'm not gonna get no responses.
20:28
Speaker 2: I be dming. Like companies, i'd be like, can y'all
20:32
Speaker 2: sponsor me? I'll just be trying to do any and everything, Cause,
20:36
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm doing everything myself. I don't have
20:38
Speaker 2: no managing, no agent, no nothing like that. So I'm
20:41
Speaker 2: trying to put my name in everybody's vision, you know
20:46
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like I've talked to I've talked to
20:49
Speaker 2: a few, quite a few semi famous people. Celebrities depend
20:54
Speaker 2: on how high or low profile you want to rank
20:57
Speaker 2: them or whatever. And I've and every time I talk
21:01
Speaker 2: to them, they always asked me, how many followers do
21:05
Speaker 2: you have? How long are your shows? Do you have
21:09
Speaker 2: a media kit? How many followers? I got? It, don't matter.
21:14
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you. Come on my damn platform.
21:16
Speaker 3: I mean, I I that's why you can't come like that.
21:19
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, no.
21:20
Speaker 2: No, That's what I'm saying, Like I ain't coming like that.
21:22
Speaker 2: But I'm like, why the fuck you care about how
21:25
Speaker 2: many follows I got? I get it. Everything is a business.
21:28
Speaker 2: Everybody want to everybody want to benefit off of what
21:31
Speaker 2: they're doing. But it's like, all right, y'all, look listen,
21:35
Speaker 2: no matter what you do, if you're a rapper, singer, actor, podcaster,
21:40
Speaker 2: skip maker, I don't care what you do if you
21:43
Speaker 2: are at a certain level in your career with that
21:45
Speaker 2: where you're like high profile and you know that there
21:48
Speaker 2: are other people who are trying to do what you
21:50
Speaker 2: do and they are a bit low profile. If you
21:54
Speaker 2: know they trying to do the same thing you doing,
21:57
Speaker 2: why not And to go back to what you said
21:58
Speaker 2: earlier about pulling up the ladder stuff like that, if
22:01
Speaker 2: you know we trying to make a name for ourselves too,
22:03
Speaker 2: and you're there, you can help. You can help. Come
22:07
Speaker 2: on my come to my come to my show. Give
22:10
Speaker 2: me like ten minutes though, I'm telling you ten minutes
22:13
Speaker 2: to talk. It's a little girl. I don't know her name.
22:15
Speaker 2: It's a little girl that's going that's on, that's on TikTok,
22:18
Speaker 2: on Instagram, something like that. And she'd be it's a
22:20
Speaker 2: little girl like she probably about ten or something, you
22:23
Speaker 2: probably saying it before, a little white girl. She'd be
22:25
Speaker 2: talking to celebrities and all that stuff, like with a
22:28
Speaker 2: mobile little microphone, and I'd be like, you know, what
22:31
Speaker 2: the hell, man, like, come on, what's what's what's going on?
22:34
Speaker 1: You got sponsors that's backing her, like, and she probably
22:37
Speaker 1: has an agent and all that too, because that matters
22:40
Speaker 1: because you're paying them to work for you, so they
22:42
Speaker 1: gonna try their best to get you out there because
22:44
Speaker 1: they want to get that check.
22:46
Speaker 3: So it's it's the.
22:48
Speaker 1: Business is all about the coin. What a dollar, I
22:51
Speaker 1: should say, because we don't do the coins, and you.
22:54
Speaker 2: Know how to be putting their emails in the bios, right,
22:58
Speaker 2: So I mean looking at that, and I'd be like,
23:01
Speaker 2: hm for booking. Huh. Let's try this, man. I sent
23:06
Speaker 2: master pr email like three years ago. Don't put don't
23:13
Speaker 2: put your email in there if you don't use your email.
23:16
Speaker 2: I understand y'all busy, y'all got stuff going on, but
23:20
Speaker 2: let's be real. Man. Now, I grew up listening to
23:23
Speaker 2: the master P. That's my adult, that's my man's. Master
23:26
Speaker 2: P is cool as fuck from from what I see
23:29
Speaker 2: on camera, But let's be real, master P, how much
23:32
Speaker 2: you got going on where you ain't respond to an
23:35
Speaker 2: email three years? Dog?
23:37
Speaker 3: Do you really think checking his own email?
23:40
Speaker 2: No, that's what I'm or whoever check it? Like, why
23:42
Speaker 2: do you? Why do you put a business email in
23:46
Speaker 2: your bio if no one checks it?
23:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, they probably did check it. They probably was like,
23:51
Speaker 3: oh next.
23:52
Speaker 2: And you know why, you know what they do know
23:54
Speaker 2: what they probably do. They probably people probably get asked
23:58
Speaker 2: asked for interviews all the time. And this is what
24:02
Speaker 2: I mean when I say just another statistic, because if
24:07
Speaker 2: we are podcast or they're like five hundred thousand other
24:10
Speaker 2: podcasters behind us. So it's like so when they see
24:14
Speaker 2: the word, hey, come on podcast, come on with podcast,
24:16
Speaker 2: podcast podcast. Yeah, if you ain't no High pro if
24:21
Speaker 2: you ain't Charlemagne, DJ Envy, if you ain't Jennifer Hudson
24:26
Speaker 2: and all of them, you ain't getting them.
24:30
Speaker 1: Back.
24:31
Speaker 2: But how we gonna get there? That's what I'm saying.
24:35
Speaker 1: Gotta keep doing the work, man, Keep getting out there.
24:38
Speaker 3: You know.
24:39
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I could tell you, because as
24:41
Speaker 1: you build and grow, they will come.
24:44
Speaker 3: What wrong't build it, they will come.
24:46
Speaker 2: It's probably easy to have people work for you, though.
24:49
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
24:52
Speaker 2: Run your accounts for you and all that you know.
24:55
Speaker 1: Did you you best believe that you're paying them to
24:58
Speaker 1: do so nothing is free.
24:59
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody just volunteering to run social media? Because that
25:02
Speaker 3: is a hard job.
25:03
Speaker 1: Think about it, you.
25:04
Speaker 3: See how what you do?
25:06
Speaker 1: Just think about like big time celebrities, that that's that's
25:10
Speaker 1: a job.
25:11
Speaker 2: That is a job, man, I'll be jumping on people lives.
25:14
Speaker 2: I'll be like, man, follow me.
25:18
Speaker 1: List, get somebody, and you will get a couple of
25:22
Speaker 1: followers or whatever. But I would ready to have authentic
25:25
Speaker 1: followers than somebody just a bot. And then the next thing,
25:28
Speaker 1: you know, your followers go down when they when the block.
25:32
Speaker 2: I love the page first, Yep. I don't catch all
25:37
Speaker 2: of them, but I'll be trying to though. I'll be
25:40
Speaker 2: trying to catch them bots.
25:42
Speaker 1: I called like over one hundred and something. I was
25:44
Speaker 1: going through my my follow lists and all of.
25:46
Speaker 2: That and show your least interacted followers. Yeah yeah, yep, yep, and.
25:55
Speaker 1: Talking about love a little bit, tim, what's going on
26:00
Speaker 1: in your love?
26:00
Speaker 3: Look at that smile? Feel and fell in love over there?
26:05
Speaker 2: Look a little bit, a little bit of everything, A
26:07
Speaker 2: bunch of little changes and stuff like that. You know, Yeah,
26:11
Speaker 2: we we we got we got you see the smile.
26:14
Speaker 2: We got some smiles going on over there.
26:16
Speaker 3: You go. I love it.
26:17
Speaker 1: So what has been a podcaster taught you about love
26:21
Speaker 1: that I.
26:22
Speaker 2: Need to take my own advice sometimes.
26:26
Speaker 3: I love it.
26:27
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a whole lot of things that I
26:30
Speaker 2: said on my podcast where it was things that I
26:35
Speaker 2: haven't done, but it was all but at the same time,
26:39
Speaker 2: it was also things that I know I would do.
26:42
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, got you.
26:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that makes a big difference when you actually
26:47
Speaker 1: can go back and say, dang, I was just talking
26:50
Speaker 1: about this and listen, I need to make sure that
26:53
Speaker 1: I'm I need to. I don't need to be a
26:55
Speaker 1: hypocrite right now.
26:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, that's the main thing I just wanted you.
26:59
Speaker 2: I just I try to make sure I follow my own.
27:02
Speaker 1: Word, right, Yes, indeed, So we're gonna get into all
27:07
Speaker 1: that other shit, and we done talked about that.
27:10
Speaker 2: Let's get it.
27:12
Speaker 1: Do you believe that life is worth living without all
27:18
Speaker 1: that other shit?
27:19
Speaker 2: Depends on what other shit you're talking about.
27:23
Speaker 1: All the trials, tribulations, toxic relationship.
27:28
Speaker 3: You know, all if road blocks, fumbling blocks.
27:32
Speaker 1: Everything that can be considered as all that other shit.
27:35
Speaker 2: Well you gotta remember, without the roadblocks and obstacles and
27:39
Speaker 2: all that stuff, you wouldn't even know if life would
27:42
Speaker 2: be worth living if you don't go through that stuff yet, Yes,
27:47
Speaker 2: because if you don't, it's almost like when you just
27:50
Speaker 2: work hard for something, right, just like now we're talking
27:54
Speaker 2: about the podcast. We're working hard to get to a
27:57
Speaker 2: certain level. Now, if we get to that certain level
28:01
Speaker 2: in a year, then we're gonna look back at everything
28:05
Speaker 2: that we was talking about and everything that we did,
28:08
Speaker 2: and we were like, shit, oh my god, I feel
28:11
Speaker 2: so good. It's just like getting your first big check.
28:15
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You're gonna worked all that
28:17
Speaker 2: old time. You're like, whoof that paid off? Thank God?
28:20
Speaker 2: But like when life, life is a whole different ball game.
28:23
Speaker 2: So it's like, like, for example, all the failed relationships
28:26
Speaker 2: you go through, they teach you everything one by one.
28:29
Speaker 2: They teach you something one by one, each of them,
28:32
Speaker 2: right or they should.
28:34
Speaker 3: Some people just ignore it.
28:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. Or when you finally when you finally get your
28:39
Speaker 2: when you finally get your person or your soulmate or
28:42
Speaker 2: somebody that you think is your soulmate, then it's like, damn,
28:47
Speaker 2: I know from these last ten relationships I've been in
28:51
Speaker 2: that I knew not to do this or watch out
28:53
Speaker 2: for this, or make sure I get treated like this,
28:55
Speaker 2: or make sure I treat my person like this, because
28:58
Speaker 2: when I didn't, it ended like this and all that.
29:00
Speaker 2: So all I'm saying is when you go through obstacles,
29:05
Speaker 2: hit roadblocks, fall down a hundred times, get up on
29:09
Speaker 2: a hundred times. Those all of those things make life
29:13
Speaker 2: worth living at the end because you look back at
29:16
Speaker 2: all that shit, because you're gonna say, damn, I got
29:19
Speaker 2: twenty roadblocks, I got through twenty roll blocks, I went
29:22
Speaker 2: through fifty obstacles. I went through fifty obstacles, broke through
29:27
Speaker 2: twenty roadblocks, went through seventeen bad relationships, and I'm here
29:31
Speaker 2: and this shit is worth living.
29:32
Speaker 1: Ye what I'm saying, yes, I love I love it
29:35
Speaker 1: because I love to ask that question because some people
29:37
Speaker 1: say no, are some people say yes? And I like
29:42
Speaker 1: the breakdown of it because sometimes people they just dodge bullets,
29:46
Speaker 1: like life don't come at them as hard as it
29:48
Speaker 1: comes at other people. Bless them.
29:51
Speaker 2: And I don't understand, like when you know you dodge
29:54
Speaker 2: something in life, it's a reason why you dodged it.
29:57
Speaker 2: Look at the word you dodged. It didn't happen to you.
30:01
Speaker 2: So it's almost like escaping death. How could you You
30:05
Speaker 2: know how many times people get in car accidents and
30:07
Speaker 2: they live. And when you talk to your loved ones,
30:11
Speaker 2: what they say, what they say, I'm glad you, Okay,
30:15
Speaker 2: I don't care about the car you alive.
30:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because that's material we could get the another.
30:21
Speaker 2: You go outside, it's a big shootout if you make
30:24
Speaker 2: it in the house. Oh shit, I'm glad you okay,
30:27
Speaker 2: because I heard bullets outside. You just escape death, right,
30:32
Speaker 2: So how you should be people should be given away better?
30:37
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, you better think about it, because
30:40
Speaker 2: we go through we go through shit every day, and
30:43
Speaker 2: we should be thankful for every breath we take. Every day. Man,
30:47
Speaker 2: every day some people don't wake up. Some people die
30:49
Speaker 2: with no explanation. The saying is here today, gone.
30:53
Speaker 3: Tomorrow, here today, going today?
30:56
Speaker 2: Everybody that everybody, I'm sure everybody know a person that
30:59
Speaker 2: passed away and with the say, damn, I've just seen them.
31:02
Speaker 2: Oh damn, I just talked to them.
31:05
Speaker 1: Yep.
31:06
Speaker 2: So it's too many times. It's happening too much, man.
31:11
Speaker 3: It is.
31:11
Speaker 1: It's happening too much. And speaking of all that other shit,
31:15
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the state of this country
31:21
Speaker 1: right now, in this moment in time, Well.
31:27
Speaker 2: The state of this country has never been my thing
31:30
Speaker 2: to talk about, you know why, because I ain't even
31:33
Speaker 2: gonna lie to y'all. I'm not too I'm not too
31:36
Speaker 2: educated on the government stuff.
31:38
Speaker 3: I ain't talking about the government.
31:40
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm just saying, oh you mean just anything,
31:42
Speaker 2: just anything?
31:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, no politics at all.
31:45
Speaker 2: Man. Look, I don't like it, but like I tell
31:50
Speaker 2: my friends all the time, all this stuff is beyond
31:53
Speaker 2: my control. I'm just one voice. So it's like all
31:57
Speaker 2: this stuff is when things are out of my control.
32:00
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I don't paying no attention because
32:02
Speaker 2: I obviously do because I know what's going on, but
32:05
Speaker 2: I can't change it. I mean, you got kids out
32:08
Speaker 2: here wilding out, breaking in cars, breaking in houses. You know,
32:13
Speaker 2: you got people getting robbed or they clothing? Are they dogs?
32:17
Speaker 2: Like this? It's just stupid man, people, stupid people not
32:20
Speaker 2: getting their people under control. It's not enough laws in
32:24
Speaker 2: place that people are It's not enough laws in place
32:27
Speaker 2: that's making people scared.
32:29
Speaker 3: I think it starts at home.
32:30
Speaker 2: Though, everything start at home. That's why I say, like
32:33
Speaker 2: people losing too much control over their people, man, And
32:37
Speaker 2: like it's not enough laws or rules in place that's
32:40
Speaker 2: making people worried about breaking them.
32:43
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like it's going to jail is glamorize them,
32:48
Speaker 1: Like Okay, I'm at least I'm gonna eat good and
32:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a place to sleep versus you know,
32:55
Speaker 1: I might stay at my homeboy's house the other day,
32:58
Speaker 1: my grandma gonna lock me out, my mom, I don't care.
33:00
Speaker 1: My daddy ain't nowhere around. It's a lot to take
33:03
Speaker 1: in about that. But the reason why I asked that
33:05
Speaker 1: because I wanted a guide perspective on like some of
33:08
Speaker 1: the stuff that happening, because you know, you see the
33:11
Speaker 1: news with the fires and all of that, and I'm like,
33:14
Speaker 1: that was not.
33:16
Speaker 3: Not on purpose, like somebody did that on purpose. I
33:19
Speaker 3: really do believe that.
33:20
Speaker 2: What set on fire though, like other than people homes, though,
33:23
Speaker 2: like where do they do they where they said started
33:26
Speaker 2: from or like that's.
33:27
Speaker 3: What I'm saying that they didn't. They're not talking about that.
33:30
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
33:32
Speaker 1: It's controversial, yeah, because guess what the Olympics is supposed
33:36
Speaker 1: to be yet next time and Cali and La all right,
33:41
Speaker 1: and we're gonna end on that note because we ain't trying.
33:43
Speaker 3: To have nothing.
33:45
Speaker 2: But you know what they should happen though, I think
33:48
Speaker 2: everybody who lost their homes should get their home, uh,
33:51
Speaker 2: get placed in a home for free, or get their
33:55
Speaker 2: home rebuilt for free.
33:57
Speaker 3: YEP, I agree.
33:58
Speaker 1: Something ship should be done.
34:02
Speaker 2: All this and Seawan's money. You know what I don't
34:06
Speaker 2: like though, I don't like how all these celebrities, any celebrity,
34:12
Speaker 2: anybody in Hollywood, whatever, did everybody get on their social media?
34:16
Speaker 2: They post these little tweets and statuses and ship and stories.
34:20
Speaker 2: Oh much love to Kelly, much love to this, much
34:25
Speaker 2: love to death. They saying all this good ship, but
34:27
Speaker 2: nobody putting up their money to help nobody get their home.
34:34
Speaker 1: That right there is a touchy for me because I
34:37
Speaker 1: don't feel like you need to broadcast what you do
34:41
Speaker 1: because it's just a lot. Like Prince was one of
34:43
Speaker 1: the one of the ones that gave. He was a humanitarian.
34:47
Speaker 1: He gave so much. We didn't know that he actually
34:52
Speaker 1: passed away because he didn't talk about it.
34:54
Speaker 3: So I understand, and sometimes you can't.
34:58
Speaker 1: If I was like that in that position, I wouldn't
35:00
Speaker 1: tell nobody either, because guess what, now you got people
35:03
Speaker 1: with their hand out.
35:04
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about the people who like just speak
35:06
Speaker 2: on it, like not like not the people who talk
35:09
Speaker 2: about what they do, but the people who get on it,
35:13
Speaker 2: like the people who just get on there and speak
35:15
Speaker 2: on it, like Tyler Prairie. I think he said something.
35:17
Speaker 2: He was talking about the insurance companies and how they
35:20
Speaker 2: ripping people off and not helping them do nothing and
35:23
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But why you talking about insurance companies
35:27
Speaker 2: and what they not doing, But what you're gonna do
35:29
Speaker 2: about it? I mean, don't. I mean, you don't have
35:32
Speaker 2: to tell us shit. Half of them probably do do
35:35
Speaker 2: stuff offline. I'm saying, we don't know that, But I
35:39
Speaker 2: don't like when you get on there and speak on
35:41
Speaker 2: it and you don't do nothing about it. Right, if
35:45
Speaker 2: you are gonna get on there and talk, get on
35:47
Speaker 2: there and say I will help to families, you know,
35:51
Speaker 2: say something. Y'all got all his money. Y'all got all
35:55
Speaker 2: his money, and maybe y'all are helping some people y'all
35:59
Speaker 2: personally know, rebuild some stuff. I don't know, but that
36:02
Speaker 2: will be nice. Though. Y'all making all this money, man,
36:05
Speaker 2: we supporting your movies and all this your shows.
36:10
Speaker 1: Give back, that's the bottom line.
36:13
Speaker 3: Just give back.
36:15
Speaker 1: Hey, if God has blessed you with enough to give back,
36:19
Speaker 1: why not. That's a no brainer, That's all I'm saying. Yeah,
36:23
