  Speaker 1: to have him on today. I also before we get
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: going with that, I'm going to talk a little bit
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: about the history of this podcast. Today is history of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the podcast. So about two years ago or maybe even
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a little more, I came to Lala with an idea
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to start a podcast, and actually came through a poker
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: friend of mine who said, you guys should do a podcast.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And so I said, Lala, is do a podcast? And
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: she said okay. And I think we both looked at
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: each other like, okay, we'll do a podcast. I mean
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we didn't. I don't think either one of us even
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: understood what that meant. We were like, what do we do,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: how do we do it? Who's going to produce it?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. And we started with another company before
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Westwood One, and they gave us this amazing producer, Stacy,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: who is our producer today, and Lala and I just
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: kind of just jumped into it. We didn't even know
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: what we were doing, and we didn't. The funny thing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is we just didn't even know you know, we didn't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: know if anybody would listen. We were like, is anybody
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: gonna listen to this thing? Is anybody gonna give a shit?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And I remember, you know, we did it. Our first
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: guest was Stassy and she was so kind to come on,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and we were like freaking the fuck out and we
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: had a great time. And from that moment on, we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: really learned a lot. I learned a lot. You know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't really know I talked too much. I talked
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: too little, mostly talked too much. I think that was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that was by uh and and together we kind of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: grew in this podcast and learned a lot, and we started,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know, having these amazing guests and just an awesome,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: awesome times grew, the audience grew, and interest grew, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we started to realize, you know, people are having a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: lot of fun listening to this. And we had some
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: epic guests. You know, We've had Michigan and Kelly and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Megan Fox, We've had Celestis the Loan, We've had the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: cast of Vander Pump, We've had my Mother, We've had
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know, we've we've had everybody on this podcast, all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: kinds of interesting, different kinds of people, and it's just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: been really fucking fun. I know that I have my
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: fifteen loyal followers on this podcast. I know you're all listening,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but you know, I have just really proud of what
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we've done, you know, together. But I think for now,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm going to take a step back from
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: being in front of the camera, even though it's a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: podcast and you can't be in front of the camera.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You can be in front of the microphone, and just
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to focus right now on family and my children, Ocean, London, Riley,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and also you know, my film business. So just I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: made that decision, and I think it's I hope that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: my fifteen followers stay loyal to the podcast. Why you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: don't hear my voice, But I think that's just for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: me right now, the right thing to do for myself.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And I just you know, want to be super focused
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: right now. And I am really really proud of some
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of these episodes. I was thinking about it today. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was thinking about the episodes that I was most proud of,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and to be honest, there's a bunch of them, obviously
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a shit ton of them, but I mean I'm proud
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of all of them. Okay, back it up, I'm proud
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of all of them, but I'm most proud of probably
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: breaking kind of our whole pregnancy journey, you know, announcing
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it and being you know, open about that, and then
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the birth of Ocean and talking about all the different things.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm proud of the guests that we've had
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on so far, sharing their stories and sharing their journeys
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and struggles. I am going to say, and it's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: little biased, but I am going to say, and these
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: particular episodes, just based on the numbers, I was even
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: looking at the mom podcasts and the Dad podcast believe
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it or Not, and I was shocked. I was shocked
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: were some of our highest rated episodes. You know, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: think I never laughed harder in the Dad podcast, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I really love those. I always you know, Jack's and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: his Hey Create I'll never forget that. I will never forget,

  Speaker 1: is going to continue having a lot of fun. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that's going to be Lala's going to keep that going.

  Speaker 1: podcast and how we've grown it and how all the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: spot meters that have been part of this and will
• 5:02

• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'm really young. I'm proud of you know, it takes
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a lot to start a business. It takes a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to start something from the ground up, especially when you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck you're doing. And we were
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: two people that didn't know what we were doing when
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we started this, you know. And having said that, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Lala and I have a beautiful, beautiful baby in ocean,
• 5:38

• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, it's gonna you know, it takes a
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: little bit of time to hit you when you work,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: you know, with someone extremely talented.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You know, someone that has like a crazy energy and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: such passion for you know, storytelling, someone like Mel Gibson. Yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: he was definitely on the top five of my you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: bucket list because of you know, I admire his directing
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and acting. I don't think there is someone better than
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: him when it comes to directing and acting.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, he is. He is, by the way,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite people in the universe. I mean,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the movies he's directed are just epic, epic, you know, masterpieces.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And I agree with you. I'm I'm a huge fan
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of Mel Gibson. I've produced a few movies with him,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and so I couldn't agree with you more. He's He's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: just one of the kinder people out there, but just
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: full of incredible talent.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I got to tell you. It was kind
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of hesitant going into it. I was like, Oh, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: don't know how he's going to be is you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: is he going to be intimidating? But the second I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: walked in there, he was so warm and he was
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: so welcoming and you know, but the awkward thing is
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: my character clashes with him every single scene. You know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that's the whole part of the thing. So I don't
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: want to talk too much about the story. But it
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was kind of awkward, you know, not knowing him. But
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, dude, I'm going to go at you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, he's such a macho man.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You know, He's No, that's awesome. So you had So
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you were there and and what what did you find
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: as your friend? Because I know the thing is, people
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: don't know that you've been stunt training. You know, people
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: know you as Britney Spears' fiance, but I know you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: obviously as somebody who's super passionate about acting, about stunts,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: about really honing your craft. And I know you've been
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: working on it, and people follow you on Instagram, they
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: know that you've been working on for a long time.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know, why don't you just share kind of your
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: road in acting and then and then kind of how
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that translated when you actually got on the set. So yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a good thing.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You forgot talented, very talented, super don't forget that well
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that you were in my movie.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So that's a given, absolutely, brother.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's it's a little tough, uh,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and not complaining whatsoever, you know, to be in the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: public eye because everything I do as an actor, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: it's so judged and you know, so I'm making sure
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: everything that I do is is on the the next level,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: including my performance, you know. So I'm coaching.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I'm doing stunt Brando. I told you this.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say it again on your podcast. I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: doing stunt training for movies I haven't even booked yet.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable and that and that. No, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that's amazing because that just shows your commitment. I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: people don't realize, like, you know, you, especially somebody like
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you who's in the public eye at a high level,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't they don't realize that you are
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: out there doing stunt classes, stunt training, filming scenes just
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a practice for movies that haven't even happened yet. So
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that's that's a real commitment.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: No, I'm a big believer in you know, putting your energy, sacrificing,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know, putting your money towards your goal, and the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: universe is just gonna That's how the universe works. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: it works like that every single It hasn't failed me
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: every single time. Every time I put one hundred and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: ten percent into something within minutes, I don't know, it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a blessing, whatever it is, it's definitely you know, uh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: you know the law of the universe that you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I'm committed to and acting is a huge passion of mine.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Back to your question, I've always been acting, you know.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I was in drama, theater and arts and high school college.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, that was all. I didn't even know that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was always my thing, you know, because I
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: was playing football, and as a football player, you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you're committed to that sport for four to six hours
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a day. So it's you know, but at the same time,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I always you know the jockey of the high school
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and the college and also the geek, you know, going
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: into drama and art classes, and I was so passionate
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: towards it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: But you know after.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: College, I kind of like, yoh, let's you know, I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: lost about like about one hundred pounds because you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: as an athlete, when you stop playing a certain sport,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you gained so much weight after that because.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You're not you know, you're not training, you're not trying,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you're not training. I was eating. I love eating. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was eating. I understand that. I understand that. You know
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I love so you you were one
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: hundred pounds bigger and then yeah, you stopped playing sports
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and and you lost the weight.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, brother, So I know I was one hundred
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: pounds bigger when I stopped playing. When you stopped playing,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: so I stopped playing, I gained like a little bit
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: of pound. I was close to three hundred pounds. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: then you know, I figured, I said, listen, like, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: love uh, and it clicked, you know, you know, I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: need to lose some weight. And I started, you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: losing weight, you know, with fitness. Fitness has always been
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: my thing since I was you know, playing sports and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: as I was little, so I committed to it, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: you know I got really lean and my appearance kind
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of matched with you know, my goal which was always acting. Wow,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: So you know I started acting. This is around five
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: years ago, six years ago, okay, And I started auditioning,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and you know, TV Film started building credits, and just
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: lately I've been really careful with you know what I take.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want to tell people that when I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: met you and you came into the office and we
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we talked about like your goals and how you love
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: action movies and want to be a real actor and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: taken seriously, I was so impressed and I realized you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: had done a lot of your homework. And I don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: think people realize that. And as you start to do
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: these movies like with mel Gibson and all the other
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: stuff I know you have coming up, people are going
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to really really you know, you're going to stand alone
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: as a real actor because you are one. And I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: think that sometimes it just you know, people just don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: see it coming. And I think that's going to be
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun for people.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't see it coming because of you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the public eye and also you know the relationship that
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I'm right, no, because a lot of people assume, you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it's so easy for someone that's in the public Eyeland
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: someone that's dating, uh, someone such as you know, my fiance.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's weird saying that because it's so fresh.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Congratulations by the way, thank thank you so much. People.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I assume that you get these opportunities, which,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: by the way, I love.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: My beautiful fiance put me on the map and a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: sort of a way, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of harder because you know, I'm going
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: for the serious rules I'm going.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm showing I want.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: To be able to express myself as a serious actor
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and not just this cheesy guy because you know of
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the way I look and things like that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: So it's been really tough to try.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: To not take certain things, for example, always getting I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: lost about easily I would say, like, it's not even
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: about the money. Easily a million, million and a half
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: dollars of modeling just because of my commitment to Wow,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, I never I had amazing offers, which
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: was flattering, but I'm not a model man as a bottom.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's a hard By the way, I don't have that problem.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Clearly nobody was giving me a modeling contract. But I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: just want to tell you that I that is a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: hard job. I mean, even though people say, oh, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: only just stand there and wear clothes. I mean I've
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: had to do a few photo shoots, maybe five in
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: my whole life, and I was tortured. I mean, just
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: standing there trying to feel normal. I mean, it is
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: an art in itself, but it is it is not
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: an easy thing to just sit there for ten hours.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Sure, man, it's definitely And it wasn't my passion. You know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I love it, you know, I love other people. You
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: got to chase your passion, and you know, I was
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: so committed to my goal that I was you know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't want to do this. I
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: try to stay away from it as much as possible.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And even with acting, it's so tough because it's so
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: easy for actors to get certain roles, and you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: as a regular actor that's not established in the public eye,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: you know, you gotta work, you gotta you know, you
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: gotta do these roles.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: But I was getting all these.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Soap outer opportunities, and I just didn't seem like, no,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you know, no offense to the soap opera community.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I just my goal was, no, you just it just
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't it just wasn't your It's same with me, like
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I make movies, so I completely understand, you know, you know,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it's just preference. It's not even like, oh, I don't
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: dis soaps either, and I don't diss these different mediums.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It's just what I'm attracted to. And it's probably the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: same for you. You just you know, you try listen. I'm
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: having the best time with you. Give me a minute,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break. We're gonna come
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: right back, and I want to hear you know a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: lot more. And or' even going to talk about how
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you met Brittany. So you were, I mean you were.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You hate videos, You just wasn't in your DNA for
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for the career that you wanted to have. And you
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: get a call and I assume it's for a Britney
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Spears video. Yeah, so I get to call.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: My friend tells me, listen, I'm working on this video,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and you know, I'm referring to you. And then I said, look,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you told me not to do a video, so what's
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: going on? And you know, Max, he said, oh, trust me,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you might want to do this video.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, cool. I didn't think too much about it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I went the next.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Day amazing, you know, and then I didn't find out
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: who it was for until I walked in.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: It was kind of like a secret project type thing, right,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and until I was interested in and I knew about it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: So I went there as an actor, you know, on set,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I had a great time. You know, it was I
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: was working with my friend again, so I didn't think

  Speaker 2: you know, to be able to move on camera, to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: be able to do the action themes such as I
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: just did. And I'm doing a lot of TV stuff
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: as my you know, as the grind. You know that
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: that progress, you know, staying true to the grind and
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: doing TV work and doing roles that you know, built
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: up my things and everything I've done is been like
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: coming out great lately. I don't know if it's you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: everything that I chose. I did this thing hacks, you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: this big show on Jeane Smart always in there for
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: two seconds Randall. It was the first it was the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: first two frames of the show, and then I was
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: watching the Emmys and then they show me right right
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: there as they win like a bunch of Emmys.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So, you know, so.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: The whole production sent me a thank you. I'm just
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: joking a bunch of Emmies basically. But everything I'm doing
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: is very I'm strategizing. I'm making sure that you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the TV roles that I'm picking, that the movie roles
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that i'm picking is true to the grind because I'm
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I'm very young.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Well let's not say that because that people were, but.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: You know, you're you're young, You're young.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very young for the goals. And also I
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: don't have humble goals when it comes to acting. You know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I try to stay super humble, but at the same time,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: my goals aren't humble when it comes to acting. You know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I want the biggest thing and then it's to take
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: some time.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You know what. That's just dreaming and there's nothing wrong
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: with that. And I don't think that there's an ego
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: associated when you have big dreams. You know. Well, yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I mean I came out to Los Angeles, you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: twenty something years ago, and I had the same dreams
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: everybody else has. And you know, all I wanted to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: do was make films. And I didn't even care about
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: money or or or or or prestige or anything like that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be able to pay my rent,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: pay my car payment and make a film. So, you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: we all came and gat you know, we all come
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: here with a dream. And I think that's you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: admirable to to have those dreams and keep them right
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: in the forefront, you know, and not apologize for that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: And I get that from working with these guys uh
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and these uh, the people that have been in the
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: industry for such long time, and they show up, you
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: know every morning passionate. You know, they don't even care
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: about the money. They just want to tell stories and
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: they want to you know, they want that passion. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I'm so passionate about that that you know that I'm
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: putting one hundred and teper Like you said, there's no
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: ego behind it. It's just my goals are. So I
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: have such high expectations when it comes to, you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: my career, and I'm putting you know, one hundred ten
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: percent behind It's going to take a lot of work.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's pretty wrong. It's not I'm not sitting
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: around waiting for things. No, that's not at all.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to because every time something comes
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: at you that you haven't worked hard enough, it doesn't
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: bring that happiness, it doesn't bring that passion. So that's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm one hundred ten percent at it. I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: going extra, I'm sacrificing my time, my money and going
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: out of my way.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I loves that. But that's that's what That's what got
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: me when you, when we met for the first time.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I think that people just you know, Instagram is such
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you know, to me, it's such an illusion. You know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it's not it's it's not who we are. I mean, yes,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it's a it's photo moments, but there are selected photo
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: moments and you can't you know, people want to make
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: judgments on us just you know, from that moment. The
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: reality is, you know, you you came in the room
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and you sat down, and I knew within five minutes
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you were real, like you were really, really in this
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and you were really passionate. And I think people listening
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: right now can hear that as well. So yeah, yeah,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to take all
• 28:15
