The Comment Section with Drew Afualo - WE’RE ENGAGED (To Other People) Ft. Tony Statovci ｜ Episode 184

00:00:00.000 If Taylor Swift was a dude, and she made the same exact song, the songs are kind of creepy.

00:00:06.960 What song did I do? The You Belong With Me.

00:00:11.560 And I was like, if a dude sang that, yo bro, he's getting locked up.

00:00:15.400 You're right, because when women do it, it's okay. 1.00

00:00:18.980 I gave you the pass, it's okay. It's okay when you do it.

00:00:21.800 I'm hearing the lyrics, she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts.

00:00:25.820 And I'm like, what's wrong with short skirts? 1.00

00:01:41.900 Oh, look at us!

00:01:43.440 Two engaged queens.

00:01:44.880 How's engaged life been for you?

00:01:46.440 It's good.

00:01:47.080 It's kind of like a whole new, what's it called?

00:01:50.000 Marshmallow phase, what's the word?

00:01:51.480 Honeymoon phase.

00:01:51.880 Honeymoon phase.

00:01:53.000 Yeah, marshmallow phase.

00:01:54.020 Marshmallow phase.

00:01:54.600 Yeah, same thing.

00:01:55.480 Yeah, same thing.

00:01:56.320 Honestly, it feels like marshmallows for sure.

00:01:57.960 Yeah, we just call each other fiance now.

00:01:59.640 I know, it's nice.

00:02:00.580 Yeah.

00:02:01.040 Doesn't it fit better?

00:02:02.300 Because it's almost like girlfriend, boyfriend felt not serious enough.

00:02:05.920 Yeah, and I didn't feel that way until the fiance word came up.

00:02:11.160 Right, and then you're like, this fits better.

00:02:13.060 Yeah, and it sucks because people kind of look at it better, which I don't know how I feel

00:02:18.220 about it.

00:02:18.620 It's like, we was locked in before the ring now.

00:02:19.920 I agree.

00:02:20.860 Yeah, but I couldn't agree more.

00:02:22.500 And have you noticed, anytime you bring up that you're a fiance, people immediately talk

00:02:26.340 about their wedding?

00:02:27.360 Have you noticed that?

00:02:28.280 Yeah, have you started planning?

00:02:29.860 Oh my God, don't do it.

00:02:31.020 I hated it.

00:02:31.780 Yeah, every woman I've ever met who's been married and planned a wedding to some extent,

00:02:36.020 they've told me, I'm sure your fiance is getting this a ton, which is like, oh, don't

00:02:39.740 even bother.

00:02:40.340 Yeah.

00:02:40.900 Oh God.

00:02:41.500 I told her not to.

00:02:42.460 I was like, look, if you want, maybe you can be in the process a little bit, but I was

00:02:46.880 like, the last thing I want is for you to want our wedding to just be over with.

00:02:50.960 Right, same.

00:02:51.680 And so I was like, we just got to trust somebody, but she's a very, she likes her hands in everything.

00:02:58.160 She wants to be a part of the whole process, so I'm just going to let her do what she wants.

00:03:02.680 How long were you all together before you got engaged?

00:03:04.140 Eight years.

00:03:05.080 Okay, look at us.

00:03:05.560 But listen, we're high school sweethearts, so don't, okay?

00:03:08.720 T, mine was eight, mine was seven, and we were not high school sweethearts.

00:03:11.980 Yeah, so everybody's like, I would hate, they'd be like, oh, how long y'all been together?

00:03:16.280 Eight years, and the first thing they do is look at her hand, and I can see it.

00:03:19.840 I see their eyes go, they're like, all right, how long you and yours been together?

00:03:25.100 Oh, you're single?

00:03:25.820 Oh, okay. 1.00

00:03:27.020 No fucking for real. 1.00

00:03:28.400 You're telling me, bitch. 1.00

00:03:29.800 Every time, seven years, I haven't put a ring on it. 1.00

00:03:31.860 I'm like, okay, seven years, you're not HVAC certified.

00:03:33.700 Exactly.

00:03:34.940 You're worried about the wrong timeline, brother?

00:03:37.480 Yeah, I know, right?

00:03:38.440 Don't worry about my ring.

00:03:39.460 Worry about your suffering.

00:03:40.640 Thank you.

00:03:41.300 I appreciate it.

00:03:42.520 Well, and I feel like we kind of talked about this last time, but the way that our relationships

00:03:48.580 were kind of moving, correct me if I'm wrong, for mine, it's like, I'm not in a rush.

00:03:54.820 I know you're the one.

00:03:56.180 Let's just live life together first and see.

00:03:58.160 Because we had plans, but I had a lot of goals I wanted to hit before we got engaged, before

00:04:02.800 we got married, before we bought a home, anything like that.

00:04:05.200 So I'm like, I want to get a dog.

00:04:06.640 I want to live together for a long time.

00:04:08.680 There's like so many different things I think are far more important than like when you get

00:04:13.420 married.

00:04:13.860 As long as you're aligned on getting married, I think it'll be fine.

00:04:16.820 I think, and I mean, I know we're not married, but I think what people don't understand is

00:04:21.060 like the, the age old, you know, you're with somebody for two, three years, you pop the

00:04:25.300 question and then you get married like the year after.

00:04:27.960 Yeah.

00:04:28.260 I think if you really let it like slow boil and you really know, cause like I'm still

00:04:32.340 learning new things about like my fiance to this day.

00:04:35.460 Yeah.

00:04:35.800 So it's like, like, I'm like, okay, well I'm glad we spent the time to know one, which

00:04:41.340 is the most important ourselves, who we are as people.

00:04:43.740 And then how, how those two people like connect and how we, how we can like move forward in

00:04:49.520 life.

00:04:49.920 And so I think everything has a divine timing.

00:04:52.800 Like I'm supposed to be, I was supposed to pop that question when I popped it and now

00:04:57.080 we're here.

00:04:57.500 Period. 0.99

00:04:58.180 Fucking same. 0.99

00:04:59.120 It was a story. 0.97

00:04:59.940 How was your story?

00:05:01.040 Of how?

00:05:01.680 Yeah.

00:05:02.140 Did you know? 0.99

00:05:03.060 No, I had no fucking clue. 0.99

00:05:04.580 Really? 0.99

00:05:04.800 Did she know?

00:05:05.480 No.

00:05:05.720 Okay.

00:05:06.080 See, that's, that's tea because you're just like my man. 1.00

00:05:08.160 Like I really thought like he fucking got my ass because it was our seventh anniversary 0.99

00:05:13.420 last August, but I was on tour and he was with us. 0.99

00:05:16.820 So like our last show was on our anniversary.

00:05:19.420 So the weekend after that he was like, Oh, we should go away together for the anniversary,

00:05:24.040 which we had already planned.

00:05:25.540 So I was like, he was like, you should go away.

00:05:27.060 Yeah.

00:05:27.480 Like, and I was like, that's a great idea.

00:05:28.820 I was thinking the same thing.

00:05:29.540 And I planned the whole thing.

00:05:31.520 I, I found the place.

00:05:33.060 I booked it.

00:05:33.620 I like to do that stuff.

00:05:34.880 So that's what I did.

00:05:36.080 Yeah.

00:05:36.240 Yeah.

00:05:36.680 So I, I did that.

00:05:37.680 And then I was like, I didn't even consider it until we were getting to the day.

00:05:42.740 Like we were going to leave to the hotel and stuff.

00:05:45.060 And I was like, would he propose now?

00:05:46.840 And I was like, no way.

00:05:47.660 Cause I planned everything.

00:05:48.540 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:48.840 Including dinners and shit. 1.00

00:05:49.840 I was like, I planned all that shit. 1.00

00:05:50.780 There's no way he wanted to surprise me. 0.99

00:05:52.620 It's not going to be this weekend. 1.00

00:05:54.080 He got my ass, bitch. 1.00

00:05:55.840 I wasn't expecting it at all. 1.00

00:05:57.160 Yeah.

00:05:57.300 I guess since you plan everything, he couldn't be like, yo, I've got everything planned.

00:06:00.560 Yeah.

00:06:01.020 You were like, wait, what?

00:06:02.560 Yeah.

00:06:02.900 No, for real.

00:06:03.580 It was like a real cloak and dagger with me because I remember too, that night I, we

00:06:08.360 went to like Omokase.

00:06:09.860 Have you ever been to Omokase?

00:06:10.840 It's sushi, right?

00:06:11.720 Yeah.

00:06:12.080 But it's like the kind where you sit and they give you the, the one piece at a time kind

00:06:15.700 of thing.

00:06:16.060 Very bougie.

00:06:16.660 I love that stuff.

00:06:17.500 I feel so good when I'm there.

00:06:18.760 Right.

00:06:19.360 Never, never full spend like $400.

00:06:22.020 That's what I was about to say.

00:06:22.920 Like leave starving.

00:06:24.280 Had a great time though.

00:06:26.020 Me and my girl went to a fast food spot after, this is for real.

00:06:30.640 We had it.

00:06:31.240 We had like the 12 courses.

00:06:32.360 We're like, this is great.

00:06:33.780 Want to get something to eat?

00:06:36.640 I'm starving.

00:06:37.520 Are you?

00:06:38.240 No, same.

00:06:38.820 Honestly, we ordered, I think room service after because we were still so hungry.

00:06:41.700 I left a little drunk because I was so hungry.

00:06:43.720 I had nothing to absorb all the alcohol.

00:06:46.080 So we went to the dinner.

00:06:47.180 I remember we were a little bit late, of course, cause I'm late and it was probably like 10

00:06:51.040 minutes.

00:06:51.300 So they started the first course.

00:06:52.500 We sit down, the guy's like serving us and you know, they know, like if you're celebrating

00:06:56.800 something, you like tell them.

00:06:58.140 So there was, he was like, Oh, so you guys are celebrating an anniversary.

00:07:01.520 I'm like, yeah, it's the chef, like the guy.

00:07:03.720 And he goes, Oh, like, um, how long have you guys been married?

00:07:06.020 I was like, Oh, we're not married.

00:07:06.920 And he goes, how long have you guys been together?

00:07:08.720 I go, Oh, it's seven years.

00:07:09.780 And he goes, not married.

00:07:12.240 Goes like that.

00:07:12.900 I go, yo, my man, can I just get him some sushi?

00:07:14.580 Yeah.

00:07:14.840 I said, Oh, sushi chef has jokes. 1.00

00:07:16.900 Oh, you're a fucking hilarious. 0.99

00:07:19.220 Me annoyed at him. 1.00

00:07:20.340 I'm like, as soon as he turned around, I go, fuck that guy. 1.00

00:07:22.840 And we were laughing. 1.00

00:07:24.220 Eating that.

00:07:27.640 This is delicious, by the way.

00:07:29.640 Hey, you're eating it.

00:07:30.080 You're great at what you do.

00:07:30.920 Yeah.

00:07:31.060 You're killing it, by the way.

00:07:32.460 And I remember too, like, um, at one point they gave us these little glowy things that

00:07:37.620 went in drinks.

00:07:38.320 And so one of them fell down and it started lighting up underneath the little bar we were

00:07:43.360 sitting at.

00:07:44.040 And I went, Oh my God.

00:07:45.200 And then I remember he was like, what?

00:07:47.120 Cause he had his bag down there with the ring in it.

00:07:49.600 And I go, there's like a glowy thing on the ground.

00:07:51.960 Don't worry about it.

00:07:52.740 Yeah.

00:07:52.880 He goes, Oh, Oh, all right.

00:07:54.620 And I remember him being a little weirded out about it.

00:07:56.720 And I was like, are you all right?

00:07:57.940 Yeah.

00:07:58.460 And so then we left, went up to the room.

00:08:00.940 He had asked me, Oh, do you want to go for a walk?

00:08:03.700 Like around the hotel, which again, I thought was strange because it was like 10 PM and it

00:08:07.340 was dark outside.

00:08:08.320 And I was like, Oh, it's kind of dark.

00:08:11.300 And he was like, okay, yeah, we could just go back to the room.

00:08:13.360 And I was like, all right.

00:08:14.700 And we went back to the room.

00:08:15.560 I was like, wow, what a nice dinner.

00:08:16.960 And then we went inside the room and there was like petals everywhere, like three huge,

00:08:21.820 like 24 long stem roses, like three huge faces of those and balloons all over the ceiling. 0.92

00:08:28.360 And again, I really thought, and this makes me sound like a dick cause it makes me sound 0.85

00:08:31.640 like I'm lying, but I'm not. 0.99

00:08:33.380 Uh, my man does shit like that for me so often that I'm like, Oh my God. 0.99

00:08:36.320 Yeah. 0.99

00:08:36.480 I was about to say, it was like, you probably thought it was just for the anniversary.

00:08:39.560 Yeah.

00:08:39.580 I was like, Oh, that's so beautiful.

00:08:41.160 Wow.

00:08:41.440 That's so nice.

00:08:41.940 I was like, when did you ask them to do all this?

00:08:43.700 And he's like earlier.

00:08:44.760 And I go, Oh really?

00:08:46.400 Not once have I turned around.

00:08:47.360 I was like, that's so weird.

00:08:48.300 Cause I feel like I've been with you all day. 0.98

00:08:49.620 Like me just fucking talking. 1.00

00:08:50.980 I can't shut the fuck up. 0.99

00:08:52.200 And then I, and then I turned around and he was on one knee and then I was like, what 0.99

00:08:55.740 are you doing?

00:08:56.660 What are you doing?

00:08:57.580 Which some people have asked me, have you guys recorded it or whatever?

00:09:00.460 And I was like, no.

00:09:01.440 And thank God.

00:09:02.180 Cause he told me he asked for all that stuff to be put in there.

00:09:04.760 And they said, Oh, we can, um, put a photographer in there to like take pictures.

00:09:08.920 And then he goes, she's going to hate that, which I'm really glad he didn't do it because

00:09:13.640 the first 30 minutes was me crying and saying, what are you doing over and over and over

00:09:18.820 again? 0.98

00:09:19.280 And then once I calmed the fuck down, he goes, can I give you my speech? 0.98

00:09:23.500 Or I go, Oh my God. 0.96

00:09:24.420 Yeah.

00:09:24.640 Sorry.

00:09:25.120 Oh my God. 1.00

00:09:26.700 Shut the fuck up for once. 1.00

00:09:28.060 Me to me. 1.00

00:09:28.880 And then he did.

00:09:29.680 And it was amazing and beautiful.

00:09:30.980 I couldn't even look at it for like at least an hour.

00:09:33.480 I was like going like this a little time.

00:09:34.780 Every time I looked at it, it made me have a panic attack.

00:09:36.640 Right.

00:09:36.980 In a good way.

00:09:37.620 Right.

00:09:37.940 Not derogatory.

00:09:38.660 What about you?

00:09:39.160 That's good.

00:09:40.360 Mine.

00:09:41.340 So I had this whole plan.

00:09:43.040 It was our eight year anniversary, which is crazy.

00:09:45.140 We're twins.

00:09:45.920 I know.

00:09:46.300 That's what I'm saying.

00:09:47.480 And so, uh, I was, we went to Rome.

00:09:50.600 I love history.

00:09:51.860 Like, like my, my, my girl, she loves like the beach.

00:09:56.300 I like the beach.

00:09:58.660 Like, I mean, if she, we could go to the beach and stay there the whole week.

00:10:02.680 Like sun up to sun down.

00:10:04.420 I mean, you got three hours out of me.

00:10:06.520 I know.

00:10:07.120 Like we're just on the ground.

00:10:08.500 And that's enough.

00:10:09.080 Yeah.

00:10:09.300 And my back hurts.

00:10:10.140 Exactly.

00:10:11.260 So I was like, so for our seventh year anniversary, I was like, yo, no beaches next year.

00:10:16.300 And so I had always told her, I was like, you know, funny enough, when we started dating,

00:10:20.840 I was like, I think I want to get married around 26.

00:10:22.940 And that was always that.

00:10:24.040 I don't know why that was the age.

00:10:25.080 I just feel like that's just more of a grown age, especially when I, we met when I was 17.

00:10:28.400 So I was like 26.

00:10:30.100 That's light years away.

00:10:32.040 And so, and so she'd, she'd always known like 26 was the number.

00:10:35.840 I'm 25 right now.

00:10:36.680 Yeah.

00:10:36.940 And so we go to Rome and I don't know, like two days before the Rome trip.

00:10:42.260 So I had planned this month and I had told her parents, like, you know, I got the blessings

00:10:45.300 from her mom, her dad and her grandparents.

00:10:47.660 Cause like, that's just what she wanted.

00:10:49.040 So I was like, whatever you want, I'm going to do.

00:10:50.580 I need this.

00:10:51.140 Yes.

00:10:51.480 So whatever you want, I got you.

00:10:53.860 And, um, two days before the trip, I'm just, I'm looking up spots to like propose.

00:11:00.020 And it's just the same couple of spots on these videos.

00:11:02.560 And I was like, wait a second, this is going to be a propose in front of the Eiffel tower

00:11:06.980 situation.

00:11:07.520 I was like, I don't want to do that.

00:11:09.320 Yeah.

00:11:09.780 Anybody that's proposed for the Eiffel tower.

00:11:11.860 Good on you.

00:11:12.560 I hope your marriage is great.

00:11:13.780 I didn't want to do that.

00:11:14.860 No, there's so many people around to that too.

00:11:17.360 And so, and then I was realizing like, you know, we, I mean, we're not roaming.

00:11:22.340 We don't go to Rome.

00:11:23.880 Like Rome is cool.

00:11:25.700 Like, like, you know, like, like it was just this, it's not home.

00:11:30.680 It's not where we met.

00:11:31.540 It's not where we fell in love.

00:11:32.560 It's not where we went through our, our goods and our bad.

00:11:35.020 So like two days before it's like three in the morning, I can't sleep and I'm outside

00:11:40.140 on our patio and I'm just like, I'm not going to do it in Rome.

00:11:43.620 So the next day I call her parents and I'm like, Hey, I'm not doing it in Rome, but

00:11:47.340 I'm doing it.

00:11:47.720 I'm doing it.

00:11:48.060 I swear.

00:11:48.540 Don't worry.

00:11:49.060 Don't worry.

00:11:49.360 I'm doing it.

00:11:49.900 Yeah.

00:11:50.440 And so, um, and I felt like she was going to know, like, like there was going to be

00:11:54.440 some part of it.

00:11:55.060 Like we're in Rome.

00:11:55.760 We're in a very beautiful historic city.

00:11:57.640 Like this is probably where he's going to do it.

00:11:59.160 Right.

00:11:59.580 And so I didn't do it there.

00:12:01.720 And so, um, my mom loves family pictures.

00:12:05.680 She's loved it since I was a kid.

00:12:06.860 We do like two family pictures a year just cause she likes it.

00:12:10.020 I don't really get it, but whatever.

00:12:11.960 And so I'm like, yo, my mom wants us to do family pictures.

00:12:14.860 She wants you in this one.

00:12:16.000 Yeah.

00:12:16.100 So that was very under the radar.

00:12:19.740 She knew that was a normal thing.

00:12:21.460 It was, it was great.

00:12:22.600 Smart.

00:12:23.060 I was like, it was, I was like, it's weird.

00:12:24.440 She like has like a whole venue. 1.00

00:12:26.140 She has a photographer this time.

00:12:27.400 So I was like, it's going to be fun.

00:12:28.760 My girl's like, okay.

00:12:31.060 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:12:32.000 I got your ass. 1.00

00:12:33.420 And so I get the fit and I was like, this is what she wants you to wear. 1.00

00:12:38.040 And then my mom's in on it.

00:12:39.320 I call her.

00:12:39.840 I was like, this is what we're wearing.

00:12:40.660 She's like, you guys look great.

00:12:41.700 Um, and so I come downstairs in my fit and she's like, she's looking at it.

00:12:46.980 She goes, yeah, I can tell your mom dressed you.

00:12:51.760 Hey, you're going to feel real bad about that after a couple hours.

00:12:55.140 I go, what?

00:12:56.400 She goes, you look good.

00:12:57.480 You just would never wear that.

00:12:59.780 Well, uh, this is going to be forever cemented into our lives.

00:13:03.300 So that's what's up.

00:13:04.560 But you like it.

00:13:05.360 Yeah.

00:13:05.720 Right.

00:13:06.020 She's like, yeah, I like it.

00:13:06.960 I love it.

00:13:08.240 And, uh, and so that day, so we get there and my main fear was just like somehow it getting

00:13:14.600 ruined.

00:13:15.300 Right.

00:13:15.600 Like, like none of, none of our family and our friends were going to ruin it.

00:13:18.760 We didn't tell her grandma cause her grandma was going to like ruin it. 0.99

00:13:21.640 She's going to take her out to like breakfast and be like, so if Tony proposed, how would

00:13:26.720 you feel?

00:13:27.160 Like her grandma did not know till the day of.

00:13:29.780 Right.

00:13:30.300 And so we get there and I had it all planned with the photographer.

00:13:33.320 I was like, so we're going to get there and I'm going to tell you that my mom's running

00:13:36.620 late and then you're going to go, all right, let's just get some pictures of you guys.

00:13:40.320 It's a good thing that my girl doesn't know like what photographers really do. 0.98

00:13:43.320 Cause photographers don't just hand out free pictures.

00:13:45.700 Like brother, I'm here to get paid.

00:13:47.220 Like I don't care about you and your girl.

00:13:48.420 So, and so we get there and my last fear was we were going to get there, get like, cause

00:13:55.620 it was like this, um, it was this really beautiful kind of like garden and I was scared that one

00:14:00.140 of the people that we checked in with were going to go, Oh, for the engagement?

00:14:02.860 Is that what you guys are here for?

00:14:04.180 Cause I was like, whoever was across.

00:14:06.160 You're just so paranoid.

00:14:07.180 Oh my, and so my girl, my girl's like, are you okay?

00:14:10.500 And I'm like, yeah, my mom's just stressing me out.

00:14:13.800 Like my mom is stressful during picture days.

00:14:17.080 Um, so we get there and, uh, we're talking to the photographer and I'm like, and he goes,

00:14:24.120 I go, Oh, we should just take a couple of pictures.

00:14:27.240 And she goes, Oh, we should probably wait till your mom gets here.

00:14:30.280 Yo, Alyssa, you know, I'm going to go through these photos. 0.97

00:14:34.300 And if you insist on it, she'd be like, why do you want to take this damn picture so bad? 0.81

00:14:37.240 She was like, okay, we'll take it. 0.94

00:14:38.620 Like, but, uh, it was hilarious.

00:14:40.800 Cause I got these like dress pants on and they were like the fancy ones where like the cloth

00:14:44.880 just kind of drapes over you.

00:14:46.320 Right.

00:14:46.660 And I have this, like, it's like, like a gun.

00:14:51.140 And so it's like, like I have like my hand in one pocket trying to cover the ring box.

00:14:55.540 And then, um, there were these, so we're overlooking this like pavilion and there were these green

00:15:00.780 birds in Rome that she really loved.

00:15:02.500 Like Rome has these like green parrots.

00:15:04.440 And I go, that looks like those green parrots in Rome.

00:15:07.160 And she goes, really? 1.00

00:15:10.400 I got your fucking ass again. 1.00

00:15:12.100 But like, but like she was really looking for these birds. 1.00

00:15:15.020 She's like, I don't know.

00:15:15.500 I don't see it.

00:15:20.540 And she goes, she goes, what are you doing?

00:15:23.540 She turns around.

00:15:24.200 What are you doing?

00:15:24.580 Same thing.

00:15:25.300 And I go, like, I didn't say it, but I thought I'm like, what do you mean?

00:15:28.640 I'm like, I'm supposed to go Prince Charming.

00:15:30.980 This is supposed to be the moment.

00:15:31.880 Like, what do you mean?

00:15:32.860 And she's like, what's going on?

00:15:34.080 She's tweaking for a little bit.

00:15:35.520 Like she was, she was so shocked.

00:15:37.120 She didn't even cry, which was surprising.

00:15:39.860 She cried like in the car ride after.

00:15:42.220 Yeah.

00:15:42.600 Then she's, I mean, boo-hooing.

00:15:44.220 But she goes, I'm a fiance.

00:15:46.540 And she's like, is this real?

00:15:47.760 And I was like, yeah, it's real.

00:15:49.480 And so like, that was the only way I could have had the, like the filming process.

00:15:53.520 We haven't filmed, but like the internet will never see the light of day. 0.82

00:15:56.240 I hate you guys.

00:15:57.060 Like, y'all are never seeing that. 0.83

00:15:59.000 It's for us and our kids.

00:16:00.740 That's how I feel too, about it too.

00:16:02.340 But that was the only way I could have a photographer there where it made sense.

00:16:05.380 Or bro was going to be in the bushes.

00:16:07.300 No, that's really.

00:16:08.580 So it worked out and it was like a really cool moment.

00:16:11.240 And I don't know if you saw the pictures because I had posted like the engagement pictures.

00:16:14.580 I sure did.

00:16:15.240 That ring is beautiful.

00:16:16.180 Thank you.

00:16:16.480 I appreciate it.

00:16:16.760 I designed it.

00:16:17.520 I know.

00:16:17.920 I can tell.

00:16:18.780 And so I, for my girl, butterflies are very like spiritual to her.

00:16:24.780 Love.

00:16:25.340 Like, you know, her great aunt who passed away, like she loved butterflies.

00:16:30.420 And so whenever she sees a butterfly, she thinks of her.

00:16:33.400 And then our friend had passed away.

00:16:35.180 So it was the same thing.

00:16:35.920 Like butterfly.

00:16:36.560 She's always had a thing with butterflies.

00:16:37.920 Yeah.

00:16:38.260 And no bushes.

00:16:39.100 I'm getting goosebumps.

00:16:39.900 Like the second she said yes and I stood up and we hugged, I backed up from her, a butterfly

00:16:44.220 lands on her.

00:16:45.000 Oh, that's so sweet.

00:16:46.360 And so I'm over here like, ah, they're watching.

00:16:49.200 Like somebody's watching us.

00:16:50.360 Yeah, I love that.

00:16:51.600 That gave me chills.

00:16:52.620 Yeah, I know, right?

00:16:53.560 And so the photographer's there, I'm like, yo, my man, get this photo.

00:16:56.480 Yeah.

00:16:56.780 And so everybody's like, did he pay a butterfly to like be there?

00:17:00.700 And I'm like, yo, it was just how it happened.

00:17:02.420 That's the spirit.

00:17:03.220 But it was, it was super nerve wracking.

00:17:05.440 And she was like, I could tell something was wrong with you.

00:17:08.520 Like you just felt so stressed and like, so like just on edge.

00:17:12.460 Yeah.

00:17:12.660 And I was like, well, this was one of the most stressful moments of my life.

00:17:16.760 I'm pulling off a heist.

00:17:18.280 And I was like, so I'm asking her, I was like, what's your, like, how is your experience

00:17:22.020 with this?

00:17:22.420 Cause it's like, you don't know.

00:17:23.820 Yeah.

00:17:24.000 So it's like, to you, it's like, you're chilling.

00:17:25.820 Like I have been on edge for the past two months.

00:17:29.180 Like I, like I had the ring in our friend's house cause I was scared she was going to

00:17:33.080 find it.

00:17:33.540 So I was like, the ring hasn't even seen our home yet.

00:17:36.340 Like, and she was like, I was just, I knew you were stressed, but I thought it was cause

00:17:40.200 of your mom.

00:17:42.360 So I told my mom to start to meet you, man.

00:17:44.280 But it was, but I mean, she said yes.

00:17:46.200 And the only, the only slight problem is my brother's deployed and he's going to be my

00:17:51.900 best man.

00:17:52.400 And so he won't be back to 2027.

00:17:54.720 So we'll be engaged a little longer than we wanted to, but that's okay though.

00:17:58.480 Cause you'll have lots of time then to plan, which is nice.

00:18:01.420 And she really wants it.

00:18:03.000 Actually, I want it to, to be on our anniversary.

00:18:05.420 Yeah.

00:18:05.720 So just keep one anniversary day.

00:18:07.620 That's tea.

00:18:08.260 And so, uh, I know I'm getting mine.

00:18:10.240 I'm getting mine as close to it as I can.

00:18:12.620 It's tough.

00:18:13.180 It's hard.

00:18:13.980 Yeah.

00:18:14.320 Especially if it's on a weekday.

00:18:15.520 I know.

00:18:16.100 I said that I was like, yeah, like it's going to be on a Friday or Thursday and everybody

00:18:19.640 was like a Thursday for a wedding. 1.00

00:18:22.440 Are you stupid? 1.00

00:18:22.820 You're going to get married on a Thursday? 1.00

00:18:24.240 Nice. 0.99

00:18:24.740 It's like, it's like, damn, brother, the money good. 0.99

00:18:26.920 It doesn't matter what day it is. 0.99

00:18:27.900 Who cares?

00:18:28.680 Yeah.

00:18:29.280 Check clears regardless.

00:18:30.280 Yeah, exactly.

00:18:30.560 So it doesn't matter.

00:18:31.520 But, uh, I think that, uh, everything's a blessing in disguise.

00:18:33.860 So if it's going to take a little longer, we'll just be a little less stressed out for the

00:18:37.320 wedding.

00:18:37.640 I think so.

00:18:38.120 It'll be, you know.

00:18:39.300 Absolutely.

00:18:40.280 I think that's so fun.

00:18:41.780 How sweet.

00:18:42.660 Yeah.

00:18:42.900 We're, look at us, man.

00:18:43.940 Look at us.

00:18:44.580 What are we, adults? 1.00

00:18:45.340 We're old as fuck, dude. 1.00

00:18:46.900 Getting married? 1.00

00:18:47.940 What?

00:18:48.880 And the same thing with my, my fiance was really, my man, he was really smart too, because

00:18:54.460 the year before he proposed to me for my birthday, he got me a ring specifically.

00:18:59.460 He told me it was specifically for my wedding stack.

00:19:02.240 So like, these are two different rings and this one he gave to me on my birthday.

00:19:06.140 Can I see it?

00:19:06.520 Yeah.

00:19:06.680 Yeah.

00:19:06.900 Of course.

00:19:09.120 That's a rock.

00:19:11.240 I know a lot of, I was like, yeah, he did a good job.

00:19:13.300 I got my nails done the other day.

00:19:15.020 Um, and the woman, like I got a pedicure and the woman was doing my thing and she goes, 1.00

00:19:19.460 is that new to my ring?

00:19:21.380 Which I don't go to that place nearly enough for her to remember me.

00:19:24.560 So I don't think she did.

00:19:25.760 And I was like, oh yeah.

00:19:26.860 I mean, I recently got engaged.

00:19:28.060 I got engaged last year and she was like, that's really big.

00:19:31.080 And I go, yeah.

00:19:32.600 She goes, what does he do for work?

00:19:34.480 And I go, he's, um, a certified personal trainer.

00:19:38.080 And she goes, and he got you that.

00:19:40.500 Yo, are we going to fight?

00:19:41.480 I said, Hey, um, you have a problem?

00:19:45.120 And then I literally told her, I go, yeah.

00:19:48.520 Can you believe it?

00:19:49.260 And she goes, nice, nice. 0.97

00:19:51.420 That's it.

00:19:51.940 She didn't talk to me the rest of the time.

00:19:53.580 All right.

00:19:54.040 See, as a guy, it's like, oh, you're getting engaged.

00:19:59.500 That's what's up, man.

00:20:02.520 That's it.

00:20:03.060 That's it.

00:20:03.360 You don't follow up.

00:20:03.960 Yeah.

00:20:05.040 That's just the story of dudes.

00:20:06.620 My close homies, they all knew because those are my brothers.

00:20:09.740 But it's such a different thing.

00:20:12.560 Yeah.

00:20:12.980 I'm walking out in public.

00:20:14.500 And girls that know my content, they're like, oh my God, I'm so happy for you.

00:20:18.360 And dudes are like, yo, heard you're getting engaged, bro.

00:20:22.480 Shouts out.

00:20:23.500 Thanks, man.

00:20:24.640 Bye.

00:20:26.160 Thank you.

00:20:26.660 Appreciate that.

00:20:27.460 Yeah.

00:20:27.940 Even now when I, um, but when he got me this ring, it was to get my sizing, like my accurate

00:20:33.760 sizing.

00:20:34.440 And he was like, it's smaller than the other rings I've gotten you.

00:20:37.360 And I was like, okay.

00:20:38.060 So I put it on.

00:20:38.800 I was like, no, it fits perfect.

00:20:39.660 And he was like, okay, perfect.

00:20:43.240 Yeah.

00:20:43.600 My, uh, my girl told me, so like, like, first of all, I'm 30 pounds down since

00:20:48.320 the last podcast, me and my girl got on like a health journey.

00:20:51.580 Nice.

00:20:51.840 So we both lost weight.

00:20:53.280 So I'm trying to like discreetly go, yo, what is her ring size?

00:20:57.500 There's no easy way to ask that.

00:20:58.900 She's like, it's a six.

00:20:59.780 And I was like, okay, but are you sure?

00:21:01.980 She's like, yeah, it's a six.

00:21:02.900 I go bet.

00:21:04.240 She's not a six. 0.90

00:21:05.900 She's maybe a, maybe a four or five.

00:21:08.180 Cause like we lost weight, but that was the last time she really like got a ring 1.00

00:21:11.520 size.

00:21:12.200 And so. 1.00

00:21:12.960 Damn. 1.00

00:21:13.080 She's smaller than a six. 1.00

00:21:14.180 Yeah.

00:21:14.460 I think I don't know.

00:21:15.660 Ring size.

00:21:16.140 I just know.

00:21:16.720 No, no.

00:21:16.840 There is smaller than a six, but six is small to me.

00:21:19.080 Yeah.

00:21:19.420 Yeah.

00:21:19.780 And so, yeah, she, yeah, she a little, she a little dainty. 0.57

00:21:22.400 Yeah.

00:21:22.700 She's teeny. 0.53

00:21:23.880 But, uh, so everything's working out and she's like, oh my God, the ring's going up

00:21:29.020 and down.

00:21:29.600 I'm like, oh God.

00:21:31.520 And like, and like the jeweler was like, yo, make sure this is, this fits.

00:21:35.140 And I'm like, this is what she told me.

00:21:36.580 We're good.

00:21:37.180 Trust me.

00:21:37.620 It'll fit.

00:21:38.400 It did.

00:21:39.560 And so, and so we're now like, we got to like talk to the jeweler and have it

00:21:43.520 resized.

00:21:43.940 But I mean, if that's the only problem that comes from engagement, I'm okay with that.

00:21:47.060 Especially because it was so beautifully built.

00:21:49.780 Yeah.

00:21:49.940 Yeah.

00:21:50.120 It feels like my, my fiance was like, I wanted it to look like you.

00:21:54.040 Yeah.

00:21:54.540 So I was like, I feel like her ring looks like her, which I think is so too.

00:21:57.720 Which is crazy.

00:21:58.240 It's like a lot of, uh, a lot of people when they, like when I posted the pictures, they

00:22:01.600 were like, I could just tell he got this for her.

00:22:04.500 And I was like, well, you're right.

00:22:06.820 I mean, I was looking at the ring websites, like the, the, the famous ones.

00:22:11.520 And I was like, this just kind of looks like a, I don't know.

00:22:14.160 It's impersonal.

00:22:15.740 Yeah.

00:22:16.220 It's like cold.

00:22:17.380 Like, yeah, exactly.

00:22:18.360 Yeah.

00:22:18.580 And so I was like, I don't know.

00:22:19.600 I want to do something else.

00:22:20.800 My whole goal was to make her ring look like a tiara.

00:22:23.660 Like, and so I didn't know about the whole, uh, engagement ring and like wedding ring.

00:22:29.920 I was like, yeah, you got one.

00:22:31.320 You got one out of me.

00:22:32.160 I don't know who made this.

00:22:33.200 This is more than enough.

00:22:33.980 Yeah.

00:22:34.200 I don't know who made this two ring rule up.

00:22:36.660 Like that's capitalism right there.

00:22:38.320 Like this is love.

00:22:39.140 You get one.

00:22:39.700 I get two.

00:22:40.380 Yeah.

00:22:40.820 You know what's crazy?

00:22:41.580 I don't even have mine.

00:22:42.420 We keep forgetting to get mine.

00:22:43.620 Yeah.

00:22:44.080 I forgot to get mine.

00:22:45.280 You know, what's nuts about my fiance, his hand on this hand, the left hand specifically,

00:22:50.300 his three middle fingers, including the ring finger are permanently bent up like this because

00:22:56.140 of football.

00:22:56.860 Yeah.

00:22:57.160 It's been like this forever.

00:22:59.300 Like literally for probably over 10 years.

00:23:00.960 And so nothing like his knuckles are literally this big.

00:23:04.240 They're so fat.

00:23:04.560 Oh, so they got to get past the knuckles to get in the ring. 0.93

00:23:06.580 So he was like, maybe I'll just tattoo it.

00:23:09.220 I go, you're funny.

00:23:10.380 Um, what we're going to do is break those fingers, reset them, and then you'll get your

00:23:14.860 wedding ring.

00:23:15.420 And he was like, uh, he's like, I don't want to break them.

00:23:17.820 And it's not even because he doesn't want to wear a ring.

00:23:19.840 It's literally because he's just, he likes how his fingers are.

00:23:23.380 Yeah.

00:23:23.660 It's cool.

00:23:23.960 I was thinking, that's kind of cool.

00:23:26.060 I'm a dude.

00:23:29.640 I'm pissed off because he's going to be like, I told you.

00:23:33.200 Cause he, he's like attached to them.

00:23:35.040 Like he was like, no, it's fine.

00:23:37.100 Like they're just like, and his whole hand is like this.

00:23:39.980 I don't know how he does anything.

00:23:41.680 It's kind of cool.

00:23:42.720 War stories.

00:23:43.980 You know, like, that's how I feel.

00:23:45.400 Like when I got hit by that car, I got this, I got this car.

00:23:47.900 I was like, yeah, I got hit by that car.

00:23:49.420 Survived.

00:23:50.200 And you can see it right here.

00:23:52.280 You know, whole time I was on the scooter.

00:23:54.800 The Tesla like tapped me.

00:23:57.900 I'm so pissed off.

00:23:58.820 You said that he's going to be like, I told you, I told you.

00:24:01.160 Or he was saying, I'll get one with like a latch.

00:24:03.280 And I'm all.

00:24:04.840 What are you?

00:24:05.240 Nah, I would lose that.

00:24:06.160 I would lose that.

00:24:06.860 What are you talking about?

00:24:08.540 Latch?

00:24:09.180 Yeah.

00:24:09.460 What are we blue collar workers?

00:24:11.140 Blue collar coworkers?

00:24:12.140 You got to get the elastic one.

00:24:14.420 Yeah.

00:24:15.080 That's what I was like.

00:24:15.740 No, no, actually, no.

00:24:18.000 Yo, for this episode, you know how YouTube has like the timestamps?

00:24:21.780 Like, you can skip to it.

00:24:22.900 Like, this whole timestamp is going to be, if you're single, skip it. 0.97

00:24:26.480 You won't give a fuck about this, but I promise. 0.93

00:24:30.940 Okay, let's circle back to work. 0.99

00:24:33.340 Yeah, yeah. 0.94

00:24:33.700 To us being professional clowns for a living. 0.79

00:24:35.440 Exactly. 0.60

00:24:35.860 How's work going for you?

00:24:37.020 It's crazy.

00:24:38.300 It's been nuts for you, I bet.

00:24:39.660 Yeah, I'm in this whole new, like, I feel like I'm forcing, like, rebirth all the time.

00:24:45.260 Like, I feel like I have this just fear of, like, if you're not trying, you're dying.

00:24:49.440 Right.

00:24:50.160 And so, with content, I've realized, like, okay, like, I've operated at the highest level

00:24:56.100 as a content creator.

00:24:57.880 Like, you're lucky if you get to make it as a content creator.

00:25:00.580 Right.

00:25:00.820 Like, you're even luckier if you can do more things.

00:25:04.580 Like, do anything.

00:25:04.920 You know what I'm saying?

00:25:05.440 You know what I'm saying?

00:25:05.640 Yeah.

00:25:06.060 So, uh, shout out to you.

00:25:07.980 Um, and so, like, I've always known I can make these funny jokes, but I've always had

00:25:13.280 ideas of stories.

00:25:14.940 So, I'm writing this, um, I'm writing this show.

00:25:17.860 I was actually writing it right before this episode.

00:25:19.680 Nice.

00:25:19.920 And I can't figure out the problem to progress the plot.

00:25:23.880 T.

00:25:24.200 Okay.

00:25:24.260 So, like, the whole Uber ride here, I'm just...

00:25:27.440 You're in the think tank.

00:25:28.380 I'm like, no, I'm kind of pissed.

00:25:29.700 I'm like, ugh, I can't figure this out.

00:25:32.400 I gotta do this podcast.

00:25:33.880 But you're a really great host, so it's like, I'm already having fun.

00:25:36.280 T.

00:25:36.580 But it's like, it's such a different...

00:25:38.680 And I'm sure you know this, because, like, we get on our phones and, hey, guys, this,

00:25:42.380 that, and the third post.

00:25:43.480 Million views.

00:25:43.760 Yeah.

00:25:44.340 You know?

00:25:44.720 Yeah.

00:25:45.260 It is a million views.

00:25:46.280 Don't get mad at me.

00:25:46.900 Yeah, sorry.

00:25:47.560 Yeah.

00:25:47.860 We're like that.

00:25:48.780 Hey, don't hate the player, hate the game.

00:25:50.100 You know what I mean?

00:25:50.820 So, it's just...

00:25:52.000 I'm sure you can get this with your book, like, it's so different, because it's like,

00:25:55.220 you're in the lab.

00:25:56.500 Yeah, totally.

00:25:57.160 For so long, and you're trying to get, like, how do you feel about this, or, like, trying

00:26:01.560 to get constructive criticism.

00:26:03.060 Right.

00:26:03.560 Then, like, the part that I haven't gotten to, obviously, is, like, the putting it out

00:26:06.800 part, but it's...

00:26:09.320 There's no instant gratification.

00:26:10.940 Right.

00:26:11.420 But that's kind of better, because it's like, you know, when you put out a book or you put

00:26:15.080 out a show, it could be consumed for years.

00:26:18.100 Yeah, totally.

00:26:18.780 It'll even live past you.

00:26:20.160 Totally.

00:26:20.440 And so, that's the thing that I'm really trying to wrap my head around, like, no more

00:26:24.980 quick likes, shares, comments.

00:26:27.300 It's, you're, like, in a dark room, typing away.

00:26:31.120 Like, I'm starting to hate that, the line.

00:26:33.380 Yeah.

00:26:33.620 The line that just pulses, waiting for you to write.

00:26:35.920 I'm like, oh my God, bro.

00:26:37.300 But, um, I know I would just want to keep going, and I think that, like, the progression

00:26:43.060 of the content that I make is a show or a movie.

00:26:47.440 Maybe acting.

00:26:48.600 I just don't know.

00:26:49.240 I feel like you should try acting, honestly.

00:26:51.320 I'll try it, but I'm like, I'm kind of like a pessimist until I do it.

00:26:55.740 I'm like, oh, I wouldn't want to do that.

00:26:57.200 And then I'm, like, super in love with it when I do it.

00:26:59.080 I'm like, oh my God, this is amazing.

00:27:00.340 Right.

00:27:00.700 And so my girl, my girl's like...

00:27:01.940 And you've been in commercials.

00:27:02.580 Yeah, I have.

00:27:03.560 I mean, yeah.

00:27:04.420 But, like, with the commercials I've been in, I've, I've wrote it.

00:27:08.140 Like, I've helped write the script.

00:27:08.780 Yeah, you're, like, playing yourself.

00:27:09.920 Exactly.

00:27:10.200 Same, yeah.

00:27:10.940 And so, and that's another thing I've always, like, I don't want to cut my hair for a role.

00:27:15.040 I'm very attached to the way I look.

00:27:16.380 Same.

00:27:16.840 And so it's like, oh, we have this crazy role for the new Avengers.

00:27:21.420 Shave your head.

00:27:22.780 You got to be bald, though.

00:27:23.580 Yeah, bro.

00:27:24.180 Unless I'm playing Tony Stark.

00:27:25.760 I don't know about that, man.

00:27:27.620 But, but so I'll try, I'll definitely try it.

00:27:30.660 I want to try everything before I go.

00:27:33.480 Yeah.

00:27:34.680 And so right now I'll try this writing and I'll try some acting, but I think I like seeing

00:27:39.800 the story put together more than I would like putting it together as an actor.

00:27:44.040 I see.

00:27:44.240 So, like, I'd love to write in it versus being, like, spearing it, I guess you should say.

00:27:50.320 And when you're in comedy, it's very secular.

00:27:53.100 It's like, no, I want to be me because I'm telling the jokes.

00:27:56.040 So it's like, if I'm somebody else, I have to act like somebody else.

00:27:59.320 Right.

00:27:59.780 But myself is how I got here.

00:28:01.580 Totally.

00:28:02.040 And so it's just weird, like, you can't be yourself because you're playing a part.

00:28:06.820 But, I mean, I don't know.

00:28:08.700 I'm here for the ride and I feel like, and this goes for, like, a lot of people who are

00:28:12.860 trying different things.

00:28:14.460 If you walk in the direction, you may not get to where you thought you were going to

00:28:19.480 go, but you'll go to another destination.

00:28:21.920 Right.

00:28:22.080 Absolutely.

00:28:23.000 It's a moving forward.

00:28:24.100 Yeah.

00:28:24.140 It'll follow.

00:28:24.780 Like, the energy will follow you and you'll, it's like, maybe you wanted to write a show.

00:28:30.160 You didn't write the show, but you became an actor on the show.

00:28:32.380 Right.

00:28:32.700 Totally.

00:28:32.880 It's like, well, I moved forward and I got that.

00:28:34.840 So, like, I think once you are successful in something, you will learn that, okay, everything

00:28:41.820 takes time.

00:28:43.020 And if I was able to talk to myself, like, imagine, when did you start making content?

00:28:47.940 Like, for realsies, I'd probably say 2022.

00:28:51.640 And you were how old?

00:28:54.740 26, I think.

00:28:55.800 25, 26.

00:28:56.380 So, imagine if you, like, you could go back in time right now to your 26-year-old self

00:29:01.020 who's like, is the content worth it?

00:29:03.460 Is this something I even really want to do?

00:29:05.160 And you're like, yo, keep doing it.

00:29:07.520 Yeah.

00:29:07.720 You're going to be gravy by the time you get to my age.

00:29:10.840 Yeah, totally.

00:29:11.300 And so, like, I think about that, like, if I could break that time barrier, my future

00:29:15.940 self would be like, bro, you're good.

00:29:17.320 Yeah.

00:29:17.840 Relax.

00:29:18.340 Absolutely.

00:29:18.940 And so, like, even though I can't have him tell me that, I believe that.

00:29:23.260 Yeah, absolutely.

00:29:24.220 And so that regulates my moods throughout the day.

00:29:26.500 You're manifesting.

00:29:27.200 Exactly.

00:29:27.760 Absolutely.

00:29:28.420 Because you did this.

00:29:29.500 And it was like, this felt impossible at one point, too, I'm sure.

00:29:32.680 It did to me, too.

00:29:33.940 I get what you mean, though, about being almost re-inspired.

00:29:37.360 Mm-hmm.

00:29:37.720 Because you and I, obviously, blew up on TikTok, but, like, at the same time, we also, we've

00:29:45.160 been known for being funny, and mine is very specific.

00:29:48.820 Yours is pretty, is pretty more general, I would say.

00:29:51.420 But, like, we're known for being funny, which is cool, but, like, for me, doing other projects

00:29:56.300 outside of that, it's, like, helping fill my cup again.

00:29:59.680 Outside of comedy or outside of content?

00:30:01.260 Outside of content, specifically.

00:30:02.960 And even comedy.

00:30:03.860 Like, you know, I do enjoy being funny.

00:30:05.660 I do enjoy entertaining.

00:30:06.700 But there are other things I really love to do, too, that are not so...

00:30:09.500 More serious.

00:30:10.320 Yeah.

00:30:10.660 Like, I have, like...

00:30:12.320 I've had meetings, a ton of meetings lately about...

00:30:14.440 I have a documentary idea I've had for a while that has nothing to do with me, but it is

00:30:18.740 something I feel very passionate about.

00:30:20.720 And then, obviously, my book.

00:30:22.040 But my book had to do with me, too, to an extent.

00:30:24.460 But I am writing another book that's not having anything to do with me.

00:30:28.260 It's fiction.

00:30:29.480 What?

00:30:29.800 No way.

00:30:31.260 That's fire.

00:30:32.100 I always wanted to do that, too.

00:30:33.140 Yeah, I'm doing fiction.

00:30:34.080 I think you would be wonderful at it, because you love anime.

00:30:36.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:36.800 Yeah, so I think, like, I'm doing fiction, fantasy realm.

00:30:40.880 Would you make it a movie?

00:30:41.660 I guess that's, like, step 10, but... 1.00

00:30:43.560 Hell, yeah, bitch. 1.00

00:30:44.340 I literally said that. 1.00

00:30:45.420 I call it my Lin-Manuel Miranda plan.

00:30:47.560 Because then I'm like, I'm going to unfold it.

00:30:49.620 I'm going to write it.

00:30:50.600 I'm going to sell it.

00:30:51.480 And then I'm going to say, you can have it.

00:30:54.420 You just got to cast me.

00:30:55.580 I'm a huge part of it.

00:30:56.600 Right, right.

00:30:57.020 I am principal cast.

00:30:58.740 Unfortunately, I come with it.

00:30:59.760 No, I can't sing.

00:31:01.040 That's kind of my vibe for that.

00:31:03.720 But doing the other book is, like, refilling my cup.

00:31:07.500 Like, it's really re-inspiring me in a different way.

00:31:10.400 So I get what you mean.

00:31:11.440 Like, you're like, okay, I did this.

00:31:13.600 And I have so much more I want to do, too.

00:31:15.540 So, like, it's kind of expanding into other mediums is giving you the chance to do that,

00:31:19.060 which is awesome.

00:31:19.620 Do you have the problem of, like, wanting to do everything and don't know which road

00:31:24.820 to take?

00:31:25.460 Yeah, absolutely.

00:31:26.340 And, like, bro, that's so...

00:31:27.720 I want to do music so bad, can't sing, can't play an instrument.

00:31:30.220 You know what I decided?

00:31:31.020 DJ.

00:31:31.680 Really?

00:31:32.160 Yeah.

00:31:32.360 So I got a bunch of DJ stuff for Christmas last year.

00:31:34.860 All right.

00:31:35.200 And I've been working on it.

00:31:36.160 That's fire.

00:31:36.760 I'm trash right now, but just give me a couple months. 0.94

00:31:39.580 I literally said, I'll see you in that Sahara tent.

00:31:41.220 Yeah.

00:31:42.420 On my headline.

00:31:43.800 What's it called?

00:31:44.140 Burning Man?

00:31:44.700 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:45.220 Oh, bitch, I'm coming for Diplo's next. 1.00

00:31:46.820 Sorry. 0.99

00:31:47.140 I'm like, and one of my friends asked me, like, oh, if you're going to DJ, like, who's

00:31:51.240 the audience?

00:31:51.860 Like, who are you looking for?

00:31:52.620 I said, the horse.

00:31:53.460 Yeah.

00:31:53.940 Yeah. 0.98

00:31:54.460 Nobody shakes ass anymore. 0.98

00:31:55.780 Yeah. 0.99

00:31:56.100 The club is dead.

00:31:57.160 We used to have, like, crazy mashups.

00:31:59.400 That's what I'm saying.

00:32:00.180 And so, like, that's kind of gone.

00:32:01.520 I mean, I'm not too versed in DJ culture.

00:32:04.480 You know what I mean?

00:32:05.540 Some DJs are watching this mad as hell.

00:32:07.840 But from when I go out, it's like, it's like the hottest songs out right now.

00:32:14.380 And some of them are good.

00:32:15.400 It's either that or, like, throwbacks.

00:32:17.100 And I can always appreciate throwbacks.

00:32:18.980 But, like, bro, like, dancing music.

00:32:21.560 That's what I'm saying.

00:32:22.660 And then I saw Tyler, the creator, when his new album came out, I saw him say that when

00:32:26.940 he played it, he had no phones, like, for the first time.

00:32:29.560 But he said he wanted it.

00:32:30.880 He wanted people to dance.

00:32:32.700 Don't come if you're not dancing.

00:32:33.320 That's what he said. 0.99

00:32:33.900 I wanted people to fucking dance. 0.99

00:32:35.420 Because he said the club is dead. 1.00

00:32:36.520 And you're so T for that.

00:32:38.100 You're so right.

00:32:39.100 So that's why I was like, I want to DJ for people like that. 1.00

00:32:41.000 People who want to shake their ass. 0.99

00:32:42.660 That's what I want to do. 0.99

00:32:43.780 Especially because when I was in college, that was, like, all I did.

00:32:47.160 Like, going to the club and stuff.

00:32:48.780 So fun.

00:32:49.360 You went to college?

00:32:50.560 Yeah. 1.00

00:32:51.120 Dork. 0.99

00:32:52.140 I quit. 0.98

00:32:54.940 I sure did.

00:32:56.740 Barely made it out.

00:32:57.620 I sure did.

00:32:58.700 Just kidding.

00:32:59.200 I was a really good student, honestly.

00:33:00.720 It was crazy.

00:33:01.220 I was a good student, too.

00:33:02.020 I think we talked about it last time.

00:33:05.580 Like, I did all these AP and honors classes.

00:33:07.240 And they were like, yeah, it doesn't matter.

00:33:08.840 You still got to retake these classes.

00:33:10.640 And I was like, I got the college credit.

00:33:12.340 Right.

00:33:12.660 And they were like, well, you'll graduate with extra credits. 0.99

00:33:14.940 Hey, do you want me to punch you in the chest?

00:33:16.380 Like, these don't exist. 0.99

00:33:18.180 For who?

00:33:18.660 Extra credit for who when I leave?

00:33:19.880 Exactly.

00:33:20.480 I can't put this in my pocket and walk away with it.

00:33:23.280 Right.

00:33:23.880 And so quit.

00:33:24.980 Well, I mean, I graduated from college.

00:33:26.580 But ask me if I'm using that now.

00:33:28.760 Yeah.

00:33:29.300 Just kidding.

00:33:29.760 I mean, I am kind of.

00:33:30.980 Because I majored.

00:33:31.760 I had journalism and communications.

00:33:34.000 So I learned how to talk in front of a camera and edit.

00:33:36.100 Yeah.

00:33:36.560 But the way I learned how to talk in front of a camera, like I've said before, if you go

00:33:39.520 back and look at my old, old videos from like years ago, my voice sounds a lot higher.

00:33:44.440 Yep.

00:33:44.600 And it's because my, I was like holding that pitch that I learned in journalism school,

00:33:49.580 which was like, I will say is kind of one of my teacher's fault because she told me my

00:33:54.020 voice is so deep. 1.00

00:33:54.840 It would be more appealing if I spoke in a higher like tone, which go fuck yourself. 1.00

00:34:00.440 But also, but I did. 0.99

00:34:01.980 And now when I watch my old videos, I'm like, I sound like Mickey Mouse.

00:34:04.580 Yeah. 0.99

00:34:04.880 That shit's embarrassing. 0.99

00:34:06.020 Mine is more like the enunciation. 0.99

00:34:08.920 Because like in the South, like, you know, we'll slur words or just, you know, we're like

00:34:13.460 yin, yin, stuff like that.

00:34:15.780 And so like, if you listen to my old videos, like sometimes I'm like, what am I saying?

00:34:20.140 And I'm like, so like, you got to remember when you're doing this is like, you have to

00:34:24.160 appeal to everybody at least a little bit.

00:34:26.560 Yeah.

00:34:26.840 And so like my enunciation has gotten way better.

00:34:29.660 And we know who we're talking about.

00:34:30.760 Yeah.

00:34:31.060 White people. 0.69

00:34:31.640 Yeah.

00:34:33.340 Yeah.

00:34:33.820 They have to like us, unfortunately.

00:34:35.340 Yeah, they do.

00:34:35.660 They have to be able to digest our content to some extent.

00:34:38.400 It's true.

00:34:39.420 You know, what's crazy is I really got that like, oh, I got, oh, I got to do some white 1.00

00:34:44.780 people jokes.

00:34:45.320 Like, because like, you know, I've lived in the South.

00:34:47.920 I've lived in like a predominantly black neighborhood my whole life.

00:34:50.620 My sister's black.

00:34:51.340 I've just been surrounded by culture like my whole life.

00:34:53.920 Yeah.

00:34:54.180 And then so I had.

00:34:55.820 It's obvious.

00:34:56.060 I don't know if it's obvious.

00:34:57.660 No way, right?

00:34:58.840 And now it's time for Finding Comfort in the Chaos brought to you by Amazon.

00:35:05.140 You experience so many firsts in college.

00:35:07.580 The first time you have to cook for yourself.

00:35:09.180 The first time you have to make friends as an adult.

00:35:11.160 The first time no one's reminding you to finish your homework.

00:35:14.160 It can feel like total chaos.

00:35:16.080 But every first is an opportunity to learn what you need to succeed.

00:35:20.240 And thanks to Amazon, comfort is never far away.

00:35:23.240 For me, one of my must-haves for my college dorm was in fact a microwave.

00:35:29.420 I needed that thing desperately.

00:35:31.980 You can cook anything in a microwave, including brownies or cookies.

00:35:36.140 Look it up.

00:35:36.980 But it saved my behind when I was in college.

00:35:40.260 So I know y'all will really want to have one in your dorm too.

00:35:44.380 So I know y'all will need a microwave and you can find a great one on Amazon.

00:35:49.820 Remember that the chaos of college is inevitable.

00:35:52.860 As much as you prepare, there will always be firsts that take you by surprise.

00:35:56.160 But that's what it's really all about.

00:35:57.840 Embracing those formative experiences and learning from them.

00:36:01.540 With Amazon's great deals and everyday low prices, you can find comfort in the chaos.

00:36:06.520 Shop off to college at Amazon.

00:36:08.700 Save on college.

00:36:09.740 Save the everyday.

00:36:10.400 And so it was this one time I didn't have a joke idea and I was really pissed off about it.

00:36:17.440 But I do know how the music industry works because I've done so many jokes about music

00:36:21.320 that the artists I've made jokes about have invited me to studio sessions and stuff like that.

00:36:26.020 So I've learned about stuff like that and the promotional aspect, like rollouts.

00:36:33.680 And so at the time, it was Espresso.

00:36:39.420 What's her name?

00:36:40.100 Sabrina Carpenter.

00:36:41.660 Espresso.

00:36:42.280 What's Espresso's name?

00:36:43.280 Cappuccino?

00:36:43.740 I don't know.

00:36:45.540 But she was blowing up because she would go into a different city and have a sexual bar for that city. 1.00

00:36:52.340 She would rhyme whatever the song was.

00:36:55.420 Yes, I know what you mean.

00:36:55.960 And so I'm scrolling and I see it and I'm like, this is weird because this was before Espresso and I'm not too well versed on Sabrina Carpenter either.

00:37:04.420 Right.

00:37:04.780 But it was like a montage of her doing it.

00:37:08.040 And the video had like 3 million likes.

00:37:10.220 Okay.

00:37:10.640 And I've used likes.

00:37:11.780 So I was like, there's a market here.

00:37:15.300 Maybe I'm not a part of the market.

00:37:16.780 Why people are eating this up?

00:37:17.800 I may need to look into it.

00:37:18.840 And so I made the joke, keep in mind, at the time, and I still think to this day, I've never really heard a full Sabrina Carpenter song.

00:37:25.800 She don't make music for me.

00:37:26.520 It's fine.

00:37:26.880 That's what's up.

00:37:27.480 You're right.

00:37:27.880 And so I made a joke about like how she did it. 0.99

00:37:30.780 Like my joke was like, I was like, I'm in Niagara Falls with big balls. 1.00

00:37:35.600 Like just some funny ass shit. 1.00

00:37:37.580 That shit ended up getting like 7 million views. 1.00

00:37:40.140 Never heard a Sabrina Carpenter song. 1.00

00:37:42.160 I know her from Girl Meets World.

00:37:43.520 Like, you know what I mean?

00:37:44.980 And so I was like, oh, I'm about to tap in with the collared shirts and the golfers.

00:37:53.660 Did you tap into Taylor Swift?

00:37:55.160 Mm-mm.

00:37:57.180 I said there's a huge one there.

00:37:59.060 Actually, yeah, I did.

00:38:00.380 I did a joke about if Taylor Swift was a dude and she made the same exact songs.

00:38:08.040 The songs are kind of creepy.

00:38:10.480 What song did I do?

00:38:12.720 The You Belong With Me.

00:38:14.160 You Belong With Me.

00:38:14.980 And I was like, if a dude's saying that, yo, bro, he's getting locked up.

00:38:19.040 You're right because when women do it, it's okay. 1.00

00:38:22.760 I gave you the pass.

00:38:24.060 It's okay.

00:38:24.400 It's okay when you do it.

00:38:25.560 They can't do anything, but you can do it.

00:38:27.080 I'm hearing the lyrics.

00:38:28.060 She wears short skirts.

00:38:29.760 I wear t-shirts.

00:38:31.140 And I'm like, what's wrong with short skirts, bro?

00:38:35.620 Like, you know what I mean?

00:38:37.420 No, I know.

00:38:37.820 It's a very pick me song.

00:38:39.360 It's a very internalized misogyny song.

00:38:41.020 And so I was like, yo, if a dude made this, bro, he's getting, he's going to be in the

00:38:44.640 next Drewski skit.

00:38:45.840 Like, it's a wrap.

00:38:47.460 Can I tell you the thing I've been seeing lately where people are like, I think Drewski's going

00:38:51.160 to do this next.

00:38:52.520 I've been seeing the 40 and under, like, football teams.

00:38:56.260 Have you been seeing those videos on TikTok lately?

00:38:58.140 Of like what Drewski's going to do?

00:38:59.300 Yeah, like they're basically in the comments, they're saying, this is going to be Drewski's

00:39:02.680 next thing.

00:39:03.240 Oh, I know what you're talking about.

00:39:04.280 And it's the videos of men who are like in their mid thirties and they're playing tackle

00:39:08.040 football.

00:39:09.360 My man and I, okay, you and I can connect on this because unfortunately my audience, they 0.98

00:39:14.940 do not fuck with sports like at all. 0.94

00:39:17.060 And that is unfortunately the straightest most man part of my brain is sports humor specifically. 0.99

00:39:24.500 And I was like laughing my ass off with my fiance yesterday about it, looking at pads that

00:39:29.960 don't fit.

00:39:30.600 Yeah.

00:39:30.760 And they had that 360 camera they have in like the time square, like going around them

00:39:35.560 and they're like media day.

00:39:37.020 Yeah.

00:39:37.400 And someone said, imagine they show up late for work and they're like, sorry, I was at

00:39:40.320 media day for their tackle football team.

00:39:42.820 And they're 38.

00:39:43.840 They tweet to like four followers locked in.

00:39:49.560 I was just watching and I was like, I can't believe I was like telling my, my fiance. 0.78

00:39:54.480 I was like, honestly, I think the reason why I find it so funny and pathetic when men play 1.00

00:39:59.040 football at that age and then take it that seriously is because football is literally just

00:40:04.320 like the biggest, the fastest, the strongest.

00:40:06.620 And it's none of y'all.

00:40:07.760 No.

00:40:08.020 And they want to be the biggest, the fastest, the strongest.

00:40:10.560 That's as close as they can get.

00:40:11.920 You can't even do indoor.

00:40:13.060 Yeah.

00:40:13.260 There's a reason football players like aren't 40.

00:40:16.100 Yeah.

00:40:16.900 Like that's why they could never make it like only, only quarterbacks.

00:40:23.320 Quarterbacks.

00:40:23.680 Yeah.

00:40:24.040 Only quarterbacks can age because they don't get hit.

00:40:25.880 They get hit the least.

00:40:26.980 That's why baseball players can grow up to be fat and old and it's because they're just

00:40:30.780 running.

00:40:31.160 There's no tackling.

00:40:31.480 And they're the peak of their sport.

00:40:33.480 Like.

00:40:33.680 Yeah.

00:40:34.140 Yeah.

00:40:34.460 They just got done scarfing on two hot dogs.

00:40:36.960 You know what I mean?

00:40:38.000 Like.

00:40:38.460 Smoking cigars at the plate.

00:40:40.020 It used to be, it used to be hard drugs that they were doing back in the day.

00:40:43.160 So it's like, they switched from that to unhealthy diets.

00:40:46.020 Like, all right, fine.

00:40:47.280 And they're hitting it out the park.

00:40:49.120 Wait, back to, I want to circle back to work really quick.

00:40:53.440 Cause I know you said you would love to do something fiction.

00:40:56.020 What would you like to do?

00:40:57.440 I feel like you could do an anime.

00:40:58.900 I have, I have a, I have a mythology.

00:41:01.200 It's a, it's not a book, but it's a, it's a movie.

00:41:03.460 It's a horror movie.

00:41:04.300 I love that.

00:41:05.220 Oh, cause you love the Percy Jackson books.

00:41:07.700 I, that's one of the fun facts.

00:41:08.760 Look, she knows her stuff.

00:41:10.180 I have a fun fact about you.

00:41:12.660 You're a huge fan of the Percy Jackson book series.

00:41:15.440 Percy Jackson saved my life.

00:41:17.640 Y'all don't understand, but that's my older brother.

00:41:19.560 But like, I'm the oldest.

00:41:20.780 Yeah.

00:41:21.080 And I was going through like, like my childhood wasn't the best.

00:41:23.740 And I'm just, I opened a book and escape.

00:41:25.540 And I was like, if Percy's battling the God of War, you know what I mean?

00:41:30.220 We could fight this homelessness mom. 1.00

00:41:32.180 That's so sweet.

00:41:32.900 And so, and so I actually met Rick Riott and like, this was before any content.

00:41:37.940 I was like, I don't know, like 17 and he had just came out with a book and I'm just there.

00:41:42.620 Did you sign it even though your name's on it already?

00:41:45.300 And I still have the book.

00:41:47.100 And so it's like, like that, like, and he's got ADHD, which is a big, cause it's like,

00:41:51.700 I, as a kid, like, first of all, you got foreign parents. 1.00

00:41:54.400 They don't believe in that shit anyway. 1.00

00:41:56.180 You're just a little loud. 1.00

00:41:57.540 It's like, I don't know.

00:41:58.320 I don't think I'm just a little loud.

00:41:59.680 Like, I can't think like literally.

00:42:01.840 Yeah.

00:42:01.960 And so, um, that was really cool.

00:42:04.120 Cause Rick Riott and son has, um, ADHD and dyslexia.

00:42:07.680 So that's what he incorporated in all the demigods is they all have this. 0.95

00:42:11.180 And so I was just in there and I was like, it's obvious.

00:42:13.240 I'm the son of Poseidon.

00:42:14.660 I mean, this is me.

00:42:17.900 And so that got me into just so many other stories and reading.

00:42:21.500 And then anime, I like, I always tell people this, like, if you, if you don't tap into

00:42:28.040 anime because it's animated and I can understand as Americans, like when you think of animation,

00:42:33.860 you think of cartoon.

00:42:34.920 Right.

00:42:35.280 Watch them attack on time and tell me that's the same as adventure time.

00:42:40.040 Like, bro, like, like adventure time is awesome.

00:42:42.860 It is great.

00:42:43.500 It's like talking about, but, but I don't know.

00:42:45.500 I feel like, I feel like people are like, Oh, I'm older.

00:42:47.980 So I can't watch that stuff.

00:42:49.180 And I'm like, yo, you're missing out on some of the best stories.

00:42:52.000 I don't know.

00:42:52.880 I don't know what's going on in Japan.

00:42:55.180 I don't know what they're cooking up over there.

00:42:57.440 I actually have a theory at like, cause you know, the Japanese, have you ever been to

00:43:01.480 Japan?

00:43:01.920 No, I haven't.

00:43:02.520 So like, it's very, it's very structured.

00:43:04.620 Yeah.

00:43:04.840 You know, like, like the, like the saying is like, uh, nails that stick out get hammered

00:43:08.400 down.

00:43:08.920 And so, uh, and like, by the way, 10 Japanese people, I don't know if I'm out of my range

00:43:13.640 talking about this, but like, I feel like when you, when somebody is locked into something

00:43:18.580 societally, personally, emotionally, they tend to do things like, like, you know, that's,

00:43:23.480 I feel like that's where creation comes from.

00:43:25.020 So I'm like, okay, if you think about Japan, it's very structured.

00:43:28.400 It's very, there's so many rules societally you have to follow.

00:43:31.700 Like if your boss asks you to like, go out for a drink, like it's rude if you say no.

00:43:36.020 Yeah.

00:43:36.280 Yeah.

00:43:36.500 Imagine if your boss asked you to, yo, my man, I'll see you tomorrow morning at nine.

00:43:43.060 Hopefully.

00:43:43.940 I might call out.

00:43:44.960 And even that's a maybe.

00:43:46.480 And so I'm like, like, cause I was thinking like, what is it about this island where these

00:43:51.540 people are coming up with the best stories imaginable?

00:43:54.040 And I just wonder, cause I'm trying to, I'm trying to understand people more as, as somebody

00:43:58.280 who's writing, what makes people tick?

00:44:00.300 Like what makes us have grit?

00:44:01.540 What makes us have creativity?

00:44:02.800 Yeah.

00:44:03.120 And I wonder if it's like, if you sanction people in a way where it's like, we have to

00:44:06.460 follow these rules.

00:44:07.520 The only way they can break out is like mentally.

00:44:09.480 So it's like, what if that's where all these stories come from?

00:44:11.340 That's how they get creative.

00:44:12.480 Exactly.

00:44:12.900 Cause it's the same thing.

00:44:13.660 Like when someone goes through a traumatic experience, like you're encased in that,

00:44:17.300 like that never leaves you.

00:44:18.420 Right.

00:44:18.680 But it's like, in a way you can write yourself out of that with a, with a story and you can

00:44:23.780 express your emotion that way.

00:44:25.160 And so I just wonder like if that has any correlation.

00:44:28.800 And so I've been putting myself in that thought process for, if I want to write a character,

00:44:33.420 like what makes them tick?

00:44:34.800 But then I realized like, okay, well what makes me tick?

00:44:37.760 Yeah, totally.

00:44:38.420 Like what makes, and I'm like, since you have had success, you know, it's like, uh, no matter 0.89

00:44:44.000 what anybody else says, I'm just going to get the shit done. 0.96

00:44:46.840 You're right. 0.99

00:44:47.540 And so I've always wondered like why other people who don't have that mentality and they

00:44:52.260 kind of give up on themselves prematurely.

00:44:54.300 Right.

00:44:54.460 Cause there's a lot of talent out here.

00:44:55.880 Right.

00:44:56.100 It's just people give up on themselves.

00:44:57.260 So I wonder what it is that makes me not give up on myself and makes the next person

00:45:03.780 who has just as much talent.

00:45:05.980 Yeah.

00:45:06.380 I just can't do it.

00:45:07.660 I think it's just a fear of being perceived, to be honest.

00:45:10.220 Like it's fear of rejection in a lot of ways.

00:45:12.280 Yeah.

00:45:12.560 It's like, if I do it and I fail, then I'm, that's embarrassing.

00:45:15.900 Which like the only way to find out is to do it.

00:45:18.300 Just to do it.

00:45:19.120 Even like I had Robbie Hoffman on when she was on, she's longstanding comic.

00:45:23.460 She's an actress. 1.00

00:45:24.260 Like she's doing it all.

00:45:25.260 She even, I asked her, I was like, do you have any advice for anyone who's like aspiring

00:45:28.580 artists?

00:45:28.940 She goes, if you're asking me, you're not meant for it.

00:45:31.220 Sorry.

00:45:31.840 Like she was like, that's it.

00:45:32.800 That's it.

00:45:33.040 You're asking me.

00:45:33.620 You have doubt.

00:45:34.380 Don't do it.

00:45:34.980 Yeah.

00:45:35.400 And she's like, were you sitting around asking yourself, oh, I wonder if I can be a TikTok

00:45:38.940 star.

00:45:39.800 And I was like, no.

00:45:41.400 And she goes, right.

00:45:42.060 You just did it.

00:45:42.840 Cause so she was saying, and that's, that's what I think the differentiator is, is like you

00:45:48.000 and I aren't afraid to put ourselves out there because whatever's on the other side, clearly

00:45:51.900 it's worked out for us.

00:45:52.880 Right.

00:45:53.120 So like, thank God we did.

00:45:54.460 But I think what stops people is that is fear of embarrassment.

00:45:58.600 And that's why the two things I hate, especially being in this field is like one, you get to,

00:46:04.320 you get to a point where you stop becoming the people's champ and it's like you, people

00:46:08.900 develop a separation.

00:46:09.860 Like that's easy for you to say, drew as if I wasn't in that exact spot not too long

00:46:16.660 ago.

00:46:16.960 Exactly.

00:46:17.320 I'm not a Nepo baby. 0.99

00:46:18.480 I'm trying to create Nepo babies, but I'm not one. 1.00

00:46:20.760 Oh my God.

00:46:21.180 Literally someone called me a Nepo baby the other day.

00:46:23.920 I forget.

00:46:24.680 I call your mom and dad.

00:46:25.740 Yeah.

00:46:25.900 I was like, I would be the worst Nepo. 0.62

00:46:28.280 Like, oh no, they called me an industry plant.

00:46:30.200 That's what it was.

00:46:30.900 No. 1.00

00:46:31.400 They picked the worst bitch. 1.00

00:46:33.180 If they picked me, I'm annoying and confrontational. 1.00

00:46:37.540 What industry do you think exists?

00:46:39.020 And me. 0.99

00:46:39.180 Like what the fuck? 0.99

00:46:40.760 What am I infiltrating exactly? 0.99

00:46:42.560 That's why I agree with you though.

00:46:44.180 And I think like that's the, the biggest difference between I think who succeeds and who doesn't

00:46:50.080 because you and I did, we did it for the love of the game and the game alone for how 0.76

00:46:55.200 fucking long I wasn't making jack shit off content for years, for years, for so long. 0.66

00:47:00.560 And you know, that was before TikTok raised that CPM and started paying for real because 0.98

00:47:05.880 when I was hitting eight, nine million, every video I posted every day, I'd get like 20 0.99

00:47:11.200 bucks off that shit. 0.99

00:47:12.240 Now I could clock way more than that. 1.00

00:47:14.400 But you make videos over a minute long.

00:47:16.260 I don't.

00:47:16.980 Like, I do it now, but like, I mean, what's hilarious is people don't understand TikTok

00:47:22.480 is what I get paid the least on.

00:47:24.600 Same.

00:47:25.200 Like, y'all don't get it.

00:47:27.040 We're like, you know what I mean?

00:47:28.520 But the two things that I've always hated is the separation between people's champ and

00:47:32.940 like, like, oh, well, it's easy for you to say because now you're, you're, you're gone.

00:47:36.640 You're not a regular person anymore. 1.00

00:47:38.100 You're crazy. 0.98

00:47:38.520 And the second thing is those be the first, not those specific people, but when people 0.88

00:47:44.040 give up on themselves and they're afraid of being perceived and stuff, they're also the 0.98

00:47:48.420 first ones to like shit on your thing. 1.00

00:47:50.340 Yeah, totally. 1.00

00:47:50.940 Like, it's like, oh, this is like, damn, you could have got your hair done before the 0.95

00:47:53.760 video or I don't know. 0.95

00:47:54.980 The video starts a little, like the video is kind of boring.

00:47:57.600 Not that funny.

00:47:58.600 And I realized like, bro, if somebody made a video and somebody was like, this ain't that

00:48:03.100 funny.

00:48:04.300 Like, bro, they delete their phone.

00:48:06.160 Yeah.

00:48:06.620 Hello.

00:48:06.840 Like, yeah, but like, like they would throw their phone away and I'm like, and like, that's

00:48:11.540 the thing is like, you have to believe in yourself to the point where it's like, yo, like, bro, 0.91

00:48:17.240 even my mom was kicked me out when I, when I started doing this shit, I feel it. 0.98

00:48:21.440 She's from a different country. 0.99

00:48:22.400 She's from a different time.

00:48:23.180 Like, I understand why you did it, but it's like, I had to go so far against the grain

00:48:27.700 where it's like, you really only have you and yourself and like, we have partners, but

00:48:31.500 even with them, as much as they can understand, it's like, like it, it's like,

00:48:36.820 it's, there's still a separation.

00:48:38.040 Cause it's like, y'all aren't content creators.

00:48:39.520 It's true.

00:48:39.920 Yeah.

00:48:40.320 It's true.

00:48:40.700 Cause some of the problems you encounter, like no one can help you deal with, like literally 0.98

00:48:45.040 nobody, you know, in the world can help you until you make friends doing the same shit. 0.80

00:48:49.520 Like, and that's why, that's one of the first things I tell people. 0.93

00:48:52.360 I'm like, if they start coming up in this business really fast and they like, they just

00:48:56.360 skyrocket and then we hang out and they ask me for advice.

00:48:59.700 I go first, are you in therapy?

00:49:01.040 Second, do you have any friends in this industry specifically?

00:49:03.940 Yeah.

00:49:04.260 Make friends, like be nice to people, be kind to you, foster connection because nobody can 0.99

00:49:10.140 relate to your fucking problems anymore. 0.99

00:49:11.780 And nobody gives a fuck to be quite honest. 1.00

00:49:13.200 Like I was just about to say that. 0.98

00:49:14.740 Yeah.

00:49:14.940 Like if I was a nurse, if I was a doctor, if I was a teacher, I wouldn't want to hear 0.99

00:49:18.280 about my fucking problems. 1.00

00:49:19.500 They're stupid compared to yours. 1.00

00:49:20.760 Like that's why I'm like, I, you need friends who do this for a living because no one can relate 1.00

00:49:26.200 and no one cares and they shouldn't because this is a silly made up job.

00:49:29.440 Yep. 0.93

00:49:29.840 So like, it's okay.

00:49:31.180 We, we need to lean on each other in that sense.

00:49:34.080 That's why sometimes if I meet a content creators out in the wild and I know they don't have

00:49:38.760 any, they don't have many friends.

00:49:40.060 I'm like tapping with you.

00:49:41.420 Yeah.

00:49:41.860 Yeah.

00:49:42.100 I'm like, you need, you need someone, you need someone.

00:49:44.720 My thing is, uh, you ever been in a conversation with a content creator and they're complaining

00:49:48.560 and then they realize they're complaining because our life isn't that worth complaining

00:49:52.740 about and they're like, you know what?

00:49:54.440 Nevermind.

00:49:54.800 And I'm like, no, no, no, no, bro.

00:49:55.640 Yeah.

00:49:56.260 I understand that like somebody on the planet has it worse than you.

00:50:00.060 That doesn't mean you can't complain to me.

00:50:02.320 Right.

00:50:02.560 And it's also very invalidating to yourself.

00:50:04.760 Yeah.

00:50:05.100 You invalidate your own problems when you say that, which is like, again, like there is

00:50:09.640 a world in which both can exist.

00:50:11.640 It's just knowing the right person to say it to you.

00:50:13.920 And your comment about like, if someone got a hate comment, they would delete their whole 1.00

00:50:17.520 shit. 1.00

00:50:17.800 You're right. 1.00

00:50:18.320 Yeah.

00:50:18.540 I say that constantly.

00:50:19.520 Cause now, especially now when I like do talks and stuff and they ask me, Oh, I want to be

00:50:25.600 a content creator or I want to build a following.

00:50:28.100 I, the first thing I always ask is like, for what? 0.99

00:50:30.380 Like, is it for free shit and money? 0.99

00:50:32.180 Because if that's the case, you're not going to make it. 0.99

00:50:34.220 And everybody's doing that. 0.98

00:50:35.460 Like everybody wants free shit and everybody wants money. 0.99

00:50:38.040 Um, but that's love. 1.00

00:50:39.120 You got it.

00:50:39.520 Whatever you do, you have to love it.

00:50:41.120 And you have to commit to not making any money doing it.

00:50:44.160 Like if you never made another dollar, would you keep doing this?

00:50:46.660 Cause the answer was yes to me when I first started, especially even now.

00:50:50.400 But sometimes now I'm like, uh, maybe I should run into the forest and never come out.

00:50:57.480 Sometimes it does feel like that.

00:50:59.080 Um, but I think your comment about hate is so funny because I've told people, do you 0.99

00:51:03.780 cringe or like cave in on yourself at the thought of someone coming on your shit and even not 1.00

00:51:10.200 even commenting on your content of your video, just saying you're ugly. 1.00

00:51:12.920 Yeah. 0.99

00:51:13.380 Does that bother you?

00:51:14.620 Yeah.

00:51:14.820 Cause if it does, don't do this.

00:51:16.100 Yeah.

00:51:16.600 There was one comment that bothered me.

00:51:18.520 Like, and I stuck with me my whole career.

00:51:20.620 Really?

00:51:20.920 Somebody was like, it wasn't even like me.

00:51:23.280 They were like, yo, when you look at the camera straight on, I can't see your ears.

00:51:26.680 And I was like, bro, like, bro, I've been hardened for years doing content.

00:51:31.980 And that comment has stuck with me.

00:51:34.440 So like, if you ever noticed, I'll be like, I'll be like this.

00:51:37.460 What's up y'all?

00:51:38.220 So you're like changing angles just in case.

00:51:42.700 One that I've always faced is the Russ comments.

00:51:45.920 Man, I'm about to block Russ, man. 1.00

00:51:48.120 Like I'm about to block his ass. 1.00

00:51:50.000 And I'll fuck with Russ. 1.00

00:51:50.800 I'm like some of the Russ songs. 1.00

00:51:52.160 You know what I mean?

00:51:53.100 But it's like, can I be real?

00:51:54.700 That would piss me off too.

00:51:57.300 They said that to me about Russ.

00:51:58.720 You know what I mean?

00:51:59.280 Like, it's like, cause it's been happening for years.

00:52:01.760 You said, I'm about to block Russ.

00:52:03.200 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:52:05.420 It's crazy because when you start out, right?

00:52:08.220 Like when you start out and no one knows you, they equate you to the thing they know the closest.

00:52:11.840 Like, oh, she kind of reminds me of this.

00:52:13.540 Or he kind of reminds me of this.

00:52:14.640 And so mine was Russ.

00:52:16.180 Yeah.

00:52:16.500 And then I got known.

00:52:18.380 And so the Russ comments died down.

00:52:20.220 Yeah. 0.99

00:52:20.440 I don't know if this motherfucker's going on a PR. 0.99

00:52:22.520 I don't know what he's doing. 0.99

00:52:23.880 But they're coming back.

00:52:25.380 Sometimes if I see influx of certain kinds of comments, I go, who's doing something?

00:52:30.380 Yeah, something's going on behind the scenes.

00:52:31.600 Something's happening and I need to sniff it out. 1.00

00:52:33.140 Like, I need to figure out where this shit's coming from. 0.99

00:52:35.660 That's so funny. 0.99

00:52:36.660 But like when me and Russ make that video, like, it's gonna blow up.

00:52:39.660 So it's like, you know, it's fine.

00:52:42.220 It's fine.

00:52:43.040 And I'm like way taller than him.

00:52:44.340 So it's fine.

00:52:47.400 To be fair, we're taller than most people.

00:52:49.780 Yeah, we are.

00:52:50.300 Which is great, though.

00:52:51.640 I think it's great.

00:52:52.660 It's kind of working against me in the acting realm.

00:52:55.580 I heard that.

00:52:56.600 That they like shorter people for acting.

00:52:57.980 They do.

00:52:58.620 And they like, and you, and the slate things you do when you like say your height.

00:53:02.580 Yeah.

00:53:03.140 I'm gonna start lying.

00:53:03.980 Yeah.

00:53:04.300 I asked my acting coach, I said, do you think it's cool if I lie?

00:53:06.640 And he said, yeah.

00:53:07.900 So if you guys see me saying I'm 5'6", mind your business. 1.00

00:53:11.640 A bitch is trying to get cast, you know what I'm saying? 1.00

00:53:13.180 Yeah, for sure. 1.00

00:53:13.860 And then I'm just gonna show up fee-fi-fo-fum when I walk in.

00:53:17.260 I mean, what's his name?

00:53:18.020 I'm, uh, the guy who does all the stunts.

00:53:20.360 I'm really bad with names.

00:53:21.740 I'm noticing that.

00:53:22.740 Scientology guy.

00:53:23.860 Tom Cruise?

00:53:24.560 Tom Cruise.

00:53:26.260 I always know who you're talking about.

00:53:27.780 Yeah, he's like 5'4".

00:53:29.120 He's tiny.

00:53:29.700 That's why he can do all these, like, these stunts.

00:53:32.020 Right.

00:53:32.480 You know, he weighs nothing.

00:53:33.760 So he's like, you know, you take him out of the crayon box and put him in the...

00:53:37.340 I think I told you, like, I, last time you were here, I, I, when I meet people in real 0.94

00:53:44.100 life, they're always like, oh, damn, when you said tall, you meant tall, like, for real.

00:53:48.000 And I'm like, yeah, obviously, like, I wouldn't say tall if I wasn't. 0.98

00:53:51.800 And so, you know, sometimes it's fine, but, like, sometimes they really want to harp on

00:53:56.700 how tall I really am.

00:53:57.820 And I'm like, it's, it's, all right, all right.

00:54:00.200 Okay. 1.00

00:54:00.540 No, you're fucking gigantic. 1.00

00:54:02.160 I didn't even... 1.00

00:54:02.800 You're huge.

00:54:03.100 You're huge, brother.

00:54:04.240 And I said, my least favorite thing that women do to me, that obsess over the height thing, 1.00

00:54:08.520 which is like, okay, whatever.

00:54:10.420 When they want to take a picture with me, like, they asked me for a picture, they'll

00:54:13.480 stand with me, and then I said, they'll do this thing where they, sometimes they'll put

00:54:16.680 their hand on my stomach.

00:54:18.260 Don't hold me like I'm your man.

00:54:19.740 What are we doing?

00:54:20.300 Don't hold me like we're at prom.

00:54:21.760 I'm tall.

00:54:22.340 I'm not. 1.00

00:54:22.740 Don't do that shit to me. 1.00

00:54:23.780 Like, they're like, I hate that shit. 1.00

00:54:27.280 Bro, my thing... 1.00

00:54:28.440 Get off me. 0.85

00:54:29.280 My thing is, is two things.

00:54:31.760 And it's crazy because it's like, yo, I'm still a person at the end of the day.

00:54:34.780 Like, I know you see me on your phone, but it's like, now that I'm in front of you,

00:54:38.820 how could you think to say this? 0.80

00:54:40.800 They're like, yo, bro, I thought you were real short and fat.

00:54:48.160 Yeah, bro, love your videos.

00:54:49.620 Can we get a picture?

00:54:50.840 No, bro.

00:54:51.480 Oh, my God.

00:54:51.900 I'm insecure now, bro.

00:54:52.980 Like, no, bro.

00:54:54.000 Leave me alone.

00:54:54.620 I actually don't.

00:54:55.540 No, I actually don't want to do that at all.

00:54:57.560 Thank you, though. 0.97

00:54:58.000 Immediately before the picture, start doing the fucking shirt lift. 1.00

00:55:02.940 You know what I mean? 0.98

00:55:03.620 Yeah, my version of that is you're actually way prettier in person than I thought.

00:55:06.960 You're actually, like, way prettier than I thought.

00:55:09.580 And, like, women are usually saying that. 1.00

00:55:11.120 That's not, like, a man thing to say.

00:55:12.460 No, of course not.

00:55:13.120 It's always women. 1.00

00:55:13.840 They're like, you're, like, way prettier than I thought. 0.99

00:55:15.840 You're way uglier than I thought. 0.97

00:55:16.780 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:17.060 Like, start responding with that.

00:55:18.880 Yeah, I guess the opposite would be worse, but I just think all of it's an insult, just

00:55:23.940 generally.

00:55:24.480 Okay, wait.

00:55:24.860 I have some fun facts about you.

00:55:26.300 Okay.

00:55:26.640 Oh, about me.

00:55:27.200 Awesome.

00:55:27.400 Yes, about you.

00:55:28.060 Okay.

00:55:28.720 This one says, well, you kind of already mentioned this.

00:55:30.740 Well, obviously, we talked about you getting engaged this past July.

00:55:32.740 This one says, last summer you got hit by a Tesla in L.A. while riding a scooter to a

00:55:37.640 dispensary.

00:55:38.320 Right.

00:55:38.660 Shouts out, Elon.

00:55:39.360 Lots, lots of key buzzwords in there.

00:55:41.880 Yeah, I know, right? 1.00

00:55:43.120 Holy shit. 0.99

00:55:43.840 BuzzFeed needs to get on this. 0.99

00:55:45.620 Yes, for real.

00:55:46.460 That's a Daily Mail headline waiting to happen.

00:55:48.520 What happened there?

00:55:49.840 So, I actually, I was having some oxtails at this Jamaica spot.

00:55:54.620 Nice.

00:55:54.960 It was really good.

00:55:55.680 And I was talking to one of my friends that's in content.

00:55:57.520 And I was like, I got to get to the crib, but I'm going to get a joint before I dip

00:56:02.740 out.

00:56:03.300 Nice.

00:56:03.500 And he's like, all right, bye.

00:56:04.840 Later.

00:56:07.060 I'm on the scooter and I'm like having a great time.

00:56:10.060 I got my headphones in and it was my last day in L.A.

00:56:13.320 And I'm just chilling, right?

00:56:15.160 And I cut the street.

00:56:16.440 I thought the light was red or maybe it turned green.

00:56:18.260 I don't know.

00:56:19.320 But I felt like there was something like, bro, that instinct you have is there.

00:56:23.520 Because I was like, someone was like, turn around.

00:56:26.560 And I turn around and I'm basically in bro's driver's seat.

00:56:31.000 It was already too late.

00:56:32.140 You're already getting in the car with him.

00:56:33.560 I know, right?

00:56:35.400 And so, he hits me.

00:56:37.680 And so, this is a car.

00:56:38.860 This is me.

00:56:39.440 And he hits me like this.

00:56:40.600 So, my back hits his window.

00:56:44.540 Not windshield.

00:56:45.180 Oh, the window.

00:56:45.760 His side window.

00:56:46.180 Oh, okay.

00:56:46.560 It's like, you know with Teslas, they've got like that glass panel.

00:56:48.700 It's like the window, glass panel, window.

00:56:51.120 I hit the panel, shatter it.

00:56:54.340 Shatter it, right?

00:56:55.920 And so, and then like, so, this is hilarious to me because my hair was down.

00:57:00.540 So, I always imagine like flipping and then just hair everywhere.

00:57:04.500 Oh, my God.

00:57:05.280 Who's that beautiful rag dog? 1.00

00:57:07.560 I hit that poor woman. 1.00

00:57:11.360 And so, like, feet go up. 0.96

00:57:15.240 Feet saw the sky. 0.99

00:57:16.300 I was like, holy shit. 0.99

00:57:17.240 And I knew like, all right, well, if I don't stick this landing, I'm going to hit my head. 0.99

00:57:21.220 On the L.A. pavement.

00:57:22.340 So, like, I was like, all right, hand.

00:57:24.400 It's been great knowing you.

00:57:25.560 And I sacrifice them, right? 1.00

00:57:27.160 Oh, damn. 0.99

00:57:27.640 And so, I'm in like, I'm moving as I'm in the air, right? 0.99

00:57:33.060 And so, I catch myself.

00:57:34.600 I split this open.

00:57:36.140 And like, I'm so like, worried about other people.

00:57:38.600 Did you like flip over it?

00:57:39.640 Yeah, yeah, I flipped. 1.00

00:57:40.340 Shit. 0.99

00:57:40.460 I didn't, like, it was more of like a kick flip than a, you know what I mean? 0.99

00:57:45.260 Still, though.

00:57:45.840 So, like, I hear it, like, there's a lady, like, there were some industry plans there 0.99

00:57:49.700 because there was a lady scream immediately. 1.00

00:57:51.280 And I was like, man, who got the cameras on, man?

00:57:53.180 Like, who hired that actress? 1.00

00:57:55.400 And so, I hear this scream and everybody rushes to me.

00:57:58.320 And I'm so like, don't worry about me.

00:58:01.460 I'm like, no, I'm good.

00:58:02.680 Don't worry.

00:58:03.340 And I'm like, wait.

00:58:04.440 Like, everybody's like, all right.

00:58:05.620 Wait, wait, wait, maybe not.

00:58:07.060 I look at my arm, my arm's bleeding.

00:58:08.880 And so, I immediately call my girl.

00:58:11.120 And I'm like, this is hilarious.

00:58:13.560 Like, I got hit by a car.

00:58:14.700 This is so funny.

00:58:15.840 And so, I'm like, yo, what are you doing?

00:58:18.940 I'm not at it.

00:58:20.040 Watching something.

00:58:21.200 Okay, well, I got hit by a car.

00:58:22.520 I'm going to the hospital, but I'm okay.

00:58:24.280 I'm good.

00:58:24.900 She's like, Tony, what?

00:58:26.740 And I'm like, I'm good.

00:58:28.340 I just didn't see him.

00:58:29.260 He didn't see me.

00:58:30.060 And now I'm about to go see a doctor.

00:58:31.860 So, and then my other homie who lives out here, he was in, at the time, we didn't know

00:58:36.820 this, but it was the most important session of his life because he writes.

00:58:40.660 He makes music.

00:58:41.240 Okay.

00:58:41.700 And he's like, I go, yo, I got hit.

00:58:43.640 I'm about to go to the hospital.

00:58:44.700 I'm okay.

00:58:45.980 No, actually, he didn't answer that phone call.

00:58:47.620 He answered.

00:58:48.120 He called me back while I was in the hospital.

00:58:49.880 And he's like, what's going on?

00:58:50.940 And I was like, I got hit, but I'm good.

00:58:52.460 He was like, do I need to come?

00:58:54.000 And I was like, no, you're in a session.

00:58:55.680 It's important.

00:58:56.600 And I've already been checked out.

00:58:58.140 Like, at this point, I'm just kind of here and they're going to give me stitches in my hand.

00:59:01.740 And he was like, no, I got to come.

00:59:03.140 And I was like, bro, I'm telling you, if I'm going to be done with this hospital visit in

00:59:08.320 two, three hours, and then I'm going to just go home, like stay there.

00:59:12.800 Come to fight.

00:59:13.180 Like, he had a placement and his song went like top 10 in the chart.

00:59:16.940 So I'm glad he didn't leave.

00:59:19.380 But I was like.

00:59:19.700 Good thing you didn't ruin it with your selfish getting hit by a car. 0.93

00:59:21.900 I know, right?

00:59:21.920 You didn't hit.

00:59:24.040 Diva.

00:59:24.360 It's always something with this guy.

00:59:28.020 And so I'm in a hospital room pretty much all day.

00:59:29.960 And I was like, I'll make a video about it. 1.00

00:59:32.120 Fuck it. 1.00

00:59:33.100 Yeah, I'll be the guy with the hospital wristband on the story. 1.00

00:59:36.640 Don't really want to talk about it.

00:59:39.640 DM me though.

00:59:41.640 But so I wanted to make light of the situation.

00:59:44.080 And I was like, I did it with like fast and furious music.

00:59:48.000 And I was like, when you get hit by a car, but you survive too fast, too furious.

00:59:54.360 And so like the video blew up.

00:59:56.540 And there were a lot of people that were like, he's just doing this for attention.

00:59:59.740 Yeah, duh.

01:00:00.700 Yeah, well, yeah, that's kind of what comes with getting hit by a car.

01:00:03.360 I have a page with 5 million followers on it.

01:00:06.280 And it's named after me.

01:00:07.680 Yeah.

01:00:07.900 Yeah, I'm not the most humble guy ever.

01:00:09.580 I'm going to talk about it.

01:00:10.680 Yeah, that's kind of my thing.

01:00:12.300 That's your one reward for getting hit by the car.

01:00:15.100 And so I just sat there and I was like, this could have been way worse.

01:00:19.600 And like the doctors were like, yo, this could have been way worse.

01:00:21.560 Like they said like they had a dude a week prior, his like bone was popping out of his

01:00:27.160 leg, got hit by a car on the scooters.

01:00:29.020 Like they were like, the doctors hate scooters.

01:00:31.040 Yeah.

01:00:31.360 And like what's hilarious is like a scooter back home.

01:00:34.920 Right.

01:00:35.380 After that.

01:00:36.480 Like, cause I was like.

01:00:37.280 Didn't learn your lesson.

01:00:37.960 Yeah.

01:00:38.220 Like the reception was so bad.

01:00:39.660 I couldn't get an Uber.

01:00:40.680 And there was like a scooter just waiting there.

01:00:42.500 Just like.

01:00:43.320 Taunting it.

01:00:43.860 Beckoning me there. 1.00

01:00:45.120 And I was like, fuck it. 1.00

01:00:45.820 Like a pie on a windowsill. 1.00

01:00:47.160 Exactly.

01:00:47.720 I started floating to it.

01:00:49.780 And so I was like.

01:00:50.880 I like how you got hit by the car and it was very like, you don't want to give your girl 0.99

01:00:54.480 the ick.

01:00:55.100 Yeah.

01:00:55.580 I know, right?

01:00:55.980 You're like, ah, you know what?

01:00:58.020 It's like this guy.

01:01:00.140 Like when you get hit by a car, but you're nonchalant.

01:01:05.820 And so she was actually pissed at me. 0.93

01:01:07.760 And so, uh, I get back home and at this time I was doing standup and I was like, I have

01:01:14.720 to get on this scooter ride back home.

01:01:16.160 This is the best standup skit or standup special ever.

01:01:19.100 Yeah.

01:01:19.400 And so now it's in, it's in my back pocket if I ever go to standup.

01:01:22.780 So it was great.

01:01:24.180 You know, it all worked out.

01:01:25.600 Yeah.

01:01:25.860 Were you embarrassed at all?

01:01:26.980 My sister got hit by a car and was really embarrassed.

01:01:28.920 Yeah.

01:01:29.300 Like I was, I was like, she even told me, she's like, no one talks about how embarrassing

01:01:34.440 it is to get hit by a car.

01:01:35.460 It wasn't, I, I don't know.

01:01:38.260 It wasn't embarrassed, but I feel like my embarrassment receptors are off cause we do

01:01:41.940 content.

01:01:42.500 That's true.

01:01:43.060 So it's like, it was more like a bad measure.

01:01:44.960 I know.

01:01:45.240 Right.

01:01:45.620 I was more like, I think the, the worst thing I did is I was obviously hurt and I'm telling

01:01:50.320 people I'm okay.

01:01:51.260 Immediately.

01:01:51.740 Almost like anxious.

01:01:52.640 Like, Oh, I'm okay.

01:01:53.140 I'm all right.

01:01:53.560 Yeah.

01:01:53.800 Don't worry about me.

01:01:54.600 She landed on their windshield and got off and said, sorry about that.

01:01:57.340 Yeah.

01:01:57.580 Like you picked up her bike and tried to ride away.

01:01:59.280 You're mangled.

01:02:00.440 I'm all right.

01:02:01.720 Family guy.

01:02:02.540 Don't worry about me.

01:02:03.400 Don't worry about me.

01:02:03.880 Yeah.

01:02:03.920 Like, no, I'm totally okay.

01:02:05.640 Can you call 911 please?

01:02:08.700 And start, and start the Heimlich please.

01:02:12.540 But, um, but other than that, like, it actually taught me like, Hey, if something happens again,

01:02:17.320 ask for help.

01:02:18.220 Like, don't like, like that's, that was the only serious thing I thought.

01:02:21.200 Like you can't have something like that happen and you're telling people you're okay.

01:02:24.860 Cause even though I pretty much was okay, I was bleeding a lot.

01:02:28.060 I was bleeding a lot.

01:02:28.660 But other than that, I was like, the next time it happens, be for real.

01:02:31.780 You gotta let people help me.

01:02:33.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:02:33.640 Which is nice.

01:02:34.340 Yeah.

01:02:34.600 Except the lady who screamed. 1.00

01:02:35.980 Yeah.

01:02:36.620 You're a plant.

01:02:37.640 Yeah. 0.97

01:02:37.800 And it sucked because like the, the store that I was, got hit in front of, I had like,

01:02:42.680 like they gave me these paper towels and I'm bleeding and I'm like, all right, well, I'm

01:02:47.020 not going to litter.

01:02:48.440 I'm going to throw these away.

01:02:49.560 Yeah.

01:02:49.760 So I go into the store.

01:02:50.640 She's like, no, take your bloody towels away. 1.00

01:02:54.160 Please get out.

01:02:54.660 Please get out.

01:02:55.020 And I was like, that's fair.

01:02:57.100 It's please get, you can keep it.

01:02:58.360 Please get out.

01:02:59.260 This next fun fact.

01:03:00.720 I don't know how fun that last one was, but this one is, uh, in high school, you made money

01:03:04.760 during school between classes, selling chips, chocolate, and honey buns.

01:03:09.020 Yeah.

01:03:09.620 Now you say money.

01:03:10.660 I was making a bag.

01:03:12.160 Yeah.

01:03:12.980 I was making, I was like, my mom started asking questions.

01:03:16.800 She was like, yo, where all this money coming from?

01:03:18.700 I was like, oh, probably the closet full of snacks that's in the house.

01:03:21.940 Like, you know what I mean?

01:03:22.840 I'm not selling drugs.

01:03:23.940 Yeah.

01:03:24.320 Yeah.

01:03:24.760 I'm running game.

01:03:25.700 Don't worry about it.

01:03:26.500 It was me and my best friend E and, uh, we had realized we're like, yo, we're in this,

01:03:30.520 we're in school for eight hours a day.

01:03:32.920 We might, and it was like, like, it was right after the Obamas did the health kick.

01:03:38.580 So like, like, like, like baked, baked chips and, and like, everything was healthy.

01:03:43.820 An apple with some bread as your lunch.

01:03:45.740 I was like, all right, like, boom, I'll just bring some hot chips and some honey buns.

01:03:49.440 And like, you know, you know how schools do those like chocolate fundraisers and they've

01:03:53.100 got like those bars.

01:03:54.140 Yeah.

01:03:54.380 I found them at a store and I was like, yo.

01:03:58.080 And you were selling them, but just for you.

01:03:59.700 But like, it was crazy because they were like, they were 60, there were 60 bars of chocolate.

01:04:04.160 It was like 30 bucks. 0.99

01:04:05.540 Damn. 0.99

01:04:05.920 And I was like, oh, I'm making 30 a pop. 1.00

01:04:07.820 Like, let's do it.

01:04:09.140 And so I was, bro, I was probably making anywhere between 250 to 300 a day in school.

01:04:16.080 I was making more at school than at my job.

01:04:18.040 I had a job, like, so I would leave school.

01:04:19.880 $300 a day?

01:04:21.220 A day.

01:04:21.620 Stacks of cash.

01:04:23.040 And I bought my car, like with it.

01:04:25.180 Like, like I put the down payment, I put like 6,000 down on my car.

01:04:28.800 And it was a 2015 Honda Accord.

01:04:30.740 Shouts out to the Honda Deasy.

01:04:32.820 And then I quit school and used that car to like sell life insurance.

01:04:37.740 I went into sales.

01:04:38.780 It was just crazy.

01:04:39.440 Yeah.

01:04:40.160 That's my next one about you is that when you left, when you were 19, you worked as a life

01:04:43.860 insurance agent.

01:04:44.440 Yeah.

01:04:44.800 Like.

01:04:44.900 You don't want to hear something crazy?

01:04:46.140 So did I.

01:04:46.940 Really?

01:04:47.380 I'm not even kidding.

01:04:48.180 Around the same age.

01:04:49.420 I was like 21.

01:04:50.800 Who'd you sell for?

01:04:52.140 Do you remember?

01:04:53.740 If I, if I ever say who I sold for it.

01:04:55.800 Wait.

01:04:56.680 I bet I know.

01:04:58.040 Do it.

01:04:59.460 We'll talk about it after.

01:05:00.480 We'll talk about it after.

01:05:01.480 Because I found out, I was like, oh, this might be like a pyramid scheme.

01:05:04.520 I'm not even kidding.

01:05:05.700 I think I know who it is.

01:05:08.540 But it worked for me.

01:05:09.720 I was making money.

01:05:10.920 Listen.

01:05:11.440 And I'll tell you this.

01:05:12.360 If it's who I think it is.

01:05:13.840 Yeah.

01:05:14.220 It's not a pyramid scheme.

01:05:15.580 Yeah.

01:05:15.720 But it is an MLM.

01:05:16.640 Yes.

01:05:17.060 And those aren't illegal.

01:05:18.220 Yeah.

01:05:18.800 They're just annoying.

01:05:19.480 But like, people don't understand that like, that's the life insurance model.

01:05:24.280 Hello.

01:05:24.680 It's all, like, it's actually all an MLM.

01:05:26.580 And I'll tell you this.

01:05:27.460 There's many other MLMs that exist that are not useful, like life insurance.

01:05:31.280 Us doing the pitch.

01:05:32.400 I know, right? 0.88

01:05:33.280 And so basically, you're going to die one day, Joe and Mary. 0.99

01:05:35.500 You are going to die.

01:05:36.340 I know the exact pitch you're saying.

01:05:38.420 You're like, we're all going to die.

01:05:39.880 Yeah, yeah.

01:05:40.240 And then when they look up bad things and they're like, I heard it's a pyramid scheme.

01:05:43.240 You go, well, I didn't think you were someone who believed everything you read on the internet.

01:05:47.180 The pyramids are still standing in Egypt.

01:05:49.040 So I'm trying to.

01:05:52.160 We've lived the same life. 1.00

01:05:53.420 That's fucking nuts. 1.00

01:05:54.500 That's weird. 1.00

01:05:55.000 Like, what's going on?

01:05:55.720 I know.

01:05:56.160 I did that too.

01:05:56.900 I remember, I remember too that it was, I learned a lot at that job.

01:06:02.280 Yeah.

01:06:02.620 It was actually a dope experience.

01:06:04.700 I agree.

01:06:05.280 Yeah.

01:06:05.460 After the MLM, like, I got a policy.

01:06:07.740 My girl does.

01:06:08.540 My mom does.

01:06:09.380 Yeah, same.

01:06:10.020 Because it's like, it's true.

01:06:11.100 I actually know so much about life insurance.

01:06:13.140 And what people really don't get is that's how rich people build generational wealth.

01:06:17.440 Like, you're laughing.

01:06:19.160 I know.

01:06:19.480 That's the pitch.

01:06:20.140 It is the pitch.

01:06:20.740 I'm laughing because it's the pitch.

01:06:21.980 It's the pitch.

01:06:22.860 But it's also true.

01:06:24.260 It is true.

01:06:24.760 It's also true.

01:06:25.000 Yeah.

01:06:25.080 Like, millionaires will get million dollar policies on it.

01:06:28.080 You know what I'm saying?

01:06:28.440 Basically, A, B, or C, gold, silver, platinum program.

01:06:31.600 Which one do you want?

01:06:32.580 Like, I know all about whole life terms.

01:06:35.560 Yeah.

01:06:36.340 IUL.

01:06:37.200 Yeah.

01:06:37.460 I know all about it.

01:06:38.760 And so, honestly, it was great.

01:06:41.940 How I got hired is I was chilling.

01:06:45.480 It was my friend's friend.

01:06:46.940 Did you get recruited?

01:06:48.020 No.

01:06:48.500 That's the crazy.

01:06:49.120 I recruited myself.

01:06:50.500 Did you go to a meeting?

01:06:51.620 No.

01:06:52.200 No?

01:06:52.660 I'm telling you, it's crazy.

01:06:54.060 So, I get there.

01:06:54.840 I get to my, so my friend's like, yo, my friend Marv is having a party.

01:06:58.380 Pull up.

01:06:59.320 And Marv is like a year older than me.

01:07:00.760 So, I'm 19 at this time.

01:07:01.740 He's 20.

01:07:02.300 Yeah.

01:07:02.600 And he's in like a penthouse downtown where we live.

01:07:06.580 And I'm looking around. 1.00

01:07:07.600 I'm a nosy fuck. 0.99

01:07:08.520 So, I'm like, yo, bro, what do you do and how much do you make? 1.00

01:07:11.340 Like, immediately.

01:07:12.640 And he goes, oh, I sell life insurance.

01:07:14.400 And I was like, really?

01:07:16.080 He's like, yeah, bro.

01:07:16.760 He's like, I'm making like $2,000 a week.

01:07:19.500 $2,000 a week?

01:07:20.660 Yeah.

01:07:20.840 I was like, bro, put me on.

01:07:22.560 Right.

01:07:23.060 And he put me on.

01:07:24.200 And so, he actually like quit before I even really got hired.

01:07:28.840 Yeah.

01:07:29.480 First of all, there's the red flags right there. 1.00

01:07:32.020 My dumb ass. 1.00

01:07:33.300 I'm just thinking to myself, $2,000 a week. 1.00

01:07:34.900 That's all I need to make.

01:07:35.460 Right.

01:07:35.880 I agree.

01:07:36.220 And so, I'm talking to the managers.

01:07:40.940 And they're like, Marv told you he was making $2,000 a week?

01:07:45.080 And I was like, yeah.

01:07:46.300 So, he said it's possible.

01:07:47.620 And they're like, oh, no, it's possible.

01:07:48.880 Like, I've made more than that in a week.

01:07:50.780 Marv has it.

01:07:53.840 Like, I'm like, I'm a month into the job.

01:07:56.440 Yeah.

01:07:56.800 Like, Marv's not here.

01:07:58.480 Right.

01:07:58.680 I'm like, all right, well.

01:08:00.140 He's a bad recruiter.

01:08:01.360 I'm here.

01:08:01.640 One of the things they say is not to lie about that.

01:08:03.440 But, like, I really, I mean, I started, like, talking to people.

01:08:07.560 And, like, my main thing was referrals.

01:08:10.380 Yeah.

01:08:10.520 So, it's like, if I sold, if I sold a year or two.

01:08:13.580 Yeah.

01:08:13.780 Same, yeah.

01:08:14.160 Yeah, because I didn't want to do it myself, really.

01:08:16.420 And I hated leads.

01:08:17.280 Yeah, me too.

01:08:17.900 I didn't want to do it myself.

01:08:19.060 So, I was, like, I was just referring more than anything. 0.99

01:08:21.720 But, like, obviously, I got my own shit, too. 0.99

01:08:23.740 Oh, you're talking about putting your friends on? 0.99

01:08:25.200 Yeah, like.

01:08:25.660 Oh, I did that, too.

01:08:26.460 But, I mean, for the policies.

01:08:28.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:28.880 For that.

01:08:29.340 Like, I was recommending people.

01:08:30.580 Yeah.

01:08:30.700 But, I did do the business for real.

01:08:32.080 Yeah.

01:08:32.300 In fact, my sister makes, this is one of the funniest jokes she's made. 0.99

01:08:36.020 But, she says, I think that people should have to do what we did.

01:08:39.540 Yeah.

01:08:39.920 That exact thing.

01:08:41.100 Like, mandatory conscription.

01:08:42.600 Yeah.

01:08:42.740 Like, how in Korea they have to serve. 0.75

01:08:44.460 Yeah.

01:08:44.640 She was saying, I think they have to do an MLM like this.

01:08:47.400 Yeah.

01:08:47.960 Specifically for life insurance.

01:08:49.180 And, they have to take it seriously for at least two of the years.

01:08:51.280 Yeah.

01:08:51.940 She was like, I really do think it makes people a better worker and a better person.

01:08:56.200 Yeah.

01:08:56.300 Yeah.

01:08:56.400 And, I don't know.

01:08:57.340 Was yours in person or over the internet?

01:09:00.220 Or, like, on, like, a Zoom?

01:09:01.040 It was in person when I started doing it.

01:09:04.620 It went to Zoom because of COVID.

01:09:06.880 Yeah.

01:09:06.900 So, like, I started thinking to myself, like, bro, I was 19 years old, walking into a stranger's

01:09:11.820 house for an hour.

01:09:13.300 Doing a flip chart.

01:09:14.020 And, leaving with their social security.

01:09:16.400 Hell, yeah.

01:09:16.820 Their bank information.

01:09:17.860 Yeah.

01:09:18.060 And, their health information.

01:09:19.060 I agree. 0.99

01:09:19.760 And, I'm like, what the fuck was he on back then, bro? 0.98

01:09:22.740 I could, like, now that I've done content, like, and your sister's right, because it, 0.99

01:09:27.380 there's nothing that can get to me, bro.

01:09:29.720 That's what I'm saying.

01:09:30.380 Like, bro, like, and what sucks is, like, I still remember one person's social by heart

01:09:36.220 because it was so easy to remember.

01:09:38.300 And, I still remember it.

01:09:39.740 Like, I'm never going to use it.

01:09:41.260 But, it's like, bro, like, it's crazy that, like, and I ain't going to lie, people are way

01:09:45.200 too trusting.

01:09:45.760 Because, I would be like, man, ain't no way I'm giving you my social security.

01:09:49.000 Who are you?

01:09:49.520 Well, you're 19 years old.

01:09:51.060 Like, you can't even get life insurance. 0.99

01:09:53.220 No, fucking same. 0.99

01:09:54.160 Same. 0.99

01:09:54.760 And, you know what's funny is when I first started dating my man now, he came,

01:10:00.060 came to, I remember they, like, I think my mom showed me a picture of the two of us,

01:10:05.100 and we were doing that.

01:10:05.980 I was doing this for a living, and he was just, like, supporting me.

01:10:08.940 And, I was doing the insurance stuff, and we were at some sort of, like, job fair or

01:10:14.400 something.

01:10:14.820 And, we were all in matching polos. 0.97

01:10:17.260 My man and I, like, my man doesn't know jack shit about it.

01:10:19.620 Like, and he just started dating me.

01:10:21.580 And, I was looking at the picture, and I thought, I literally said out loud, I was like,

01:10:25.220 God, that man loves me so much.

01:10:27.100 Like, he would not be there if he did not love me because there was no point in him coming.

01:10:31.860 But, he really did, like, understand it and, like, believed in it with me.

01:10:35.940 Because, it's true.

01:10:36.940 Obviously, it's real.

01:10:38.000 There are many MLMs that are not helpful.

01:10:40.160 Like, you know, I was just, that's so funny because I was, I was keying with one of my

01:10:44.080 girls on TikTok about, she was, like, making fun of this guy that was saying something

01:10:47.680 about, oh, I make a lot of money.

01:10:49.500 I'm a financial person.

01:10:50.860 But, he wasn't, like, disclosing what he did.

01:10:53.220 And, then, all he said was that he day trades.

01:10:55.900 And, then, I put day trading, so Forex.

01:10:57.800 Yeah.

01:10:58.420 And, on the way to the studio, this random guy responded to my comment in her video and

01:11:04.020 wrote, yeah, probably Forex.

01:11:06.300 I'm licensed, though.

01:11:07.320 I have the receipts to prove it.

01:11:09.380 And, then, I literally wrote, why would you want to prove that to me? 0.99

01:11:11.720 I don't give a fuck. 0.99

01:11:12.380 Yeah, like, yeah, what? 1.00

01:11:13.060 I don't fucking care. 0.98

01:11:14.280 And, he was like, I'm just saying, it's not a scam. 0.99

01:11:16.960 And, I said, I never said it was a scam.

01:11:18.680 I said, it's an MLM. 0.99

01:11:19.600 And, also, I don't give a fuck. 1.00

01:11:20.840 Like, you're talking to the wrong bitch. 1.00

01:11:22.340 Like, my point being, there are many unhelpful MLMs. 1.00

01:11:26.480 Yeah.

01:11:26.660 That's not one of them.

01:11:27.440 Yeah.

01:11:27.980 If you don't got a policy where it gets you one, just go through a good life insurance.

01:11:32.900 Yeah.

01:11:33.220 Go through a trusted source.

01:11:34.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:11:35.420 You know what I'm saying?

01:11:36.400 But, like, the one thing that made me realize it was really important is I ended up selling

01:11:40.580 this lady and her mom. 0.88

01:11:42.200 And, her mom died a month later.

01:11:43.420 And, we paid out.

01:11:44.420 And, I was like, okay, like, this is fire.

01:11:46.580 My sister had that experience, too, actually.

01:11:48.740 You sold life insurance, too?

01:11:50.080 Yeah.

01:11:50.420 Like, we all did it.

01:11:52.080 As a family, we did it as a family.

01:11:54.980 We did it as a family.

01:11:56.420 But, she did the same thing where she helped her friend get a policy.

01:11:59.840 And, then, she paid out on that, too, for him.

01:12:01.700 And, like, helped.

01:12:02.260 Which, like, that part of it is crazy.

01:12:04.660 It's crazy.

01:12:05.240 Like, giving the family that check and stuff.

01:12:07.300 Yeah.

01:12:07.460 It's nuts.

01:12:08.040 Yeah.

01:12:08.200 Like, the daughter had called me.

01:12:09.400 She was like, I wasn't even gonna.

01:12:11.320 She was like, I wasn't gonna let y'all in the house. 0.92

01:12:12.740 I didn't want to do the meeting.

01:12:14.300 Yeah.

01:12:14.880 Because, I just didn't know y'all.

01:12:16.020 And, she was like, you're helping me pay for the.

01:12:18.020 For the funeral.

01:12:19.020 The cost.

01:12:19.120 And, I was like.

01:12:20.100 Because, like, I'm 19.

01:12:21.180 Like, I'm not worried about death. 0.99

01:12:23.000 I'm just like, damn. 0.99

01:12:23.840 That's crazy. 0.99

01:12:24.700 Yeah.

01:12:24.900 But, it was just.

01:12:25.920 Like, I think my.

01:12:26.780 Bro, my first year, I closed at, like, 60 racks.

01:12:29.940 19 years old. 0.99

01:12:30.840 Damn. 1.00

01:12:31.240 Like, bro, I was hustling. 1.00

01:12:32.620 For real.

01:12:33.300 And, like. 1.00

01:12:33.560 I would have recruited your ass, too. 1.00

01:12:34.820 Shit. 1.00

01:12:35.500 It was so. 1.00

01:12:36.780 Like, I would sell somebody.

01:12:38.020 And, I'd be like, you got a brother or sister?

01:12:39.400 And, they're like, yeah.

01:12:39.900 I'm like, oh, well, they're your beneficiary.

01:12:41.680 So, I have to talk to them.

01:12:43.420 No, you don't.

01:12:44.600 No, you don't.

01:12:45.840 A salesperson.

01:12:46.940 Exactly.

01:12:47.340 And, they'd be like, okay.

01:12:48.160 And, then, I would go into the beneficiary.

01:12:49.900 Be like, yeah, your sister got this kick-ass policy. 1.00

01:12:52.300 And, basically, if she dies. 0.95

01:12:53.420 Like, she's gonna be.

01:12:54.520 You know.

01:12:54.700 Her family's gonna have the money for it. 1.00

01:12:57.180 And, she's doing really good.

01:12:58.440 And, it was a really good idea for her to get it.

01:13:00.420 And, they'd be like.

01:13:02.400 Well, I kind of want some.

01:13:04.720 Oh, you do?

01:13:07.840 Well, I just so happened to bring.

01:13:11.100 I think that's sick.

01:13:12.120 Look at us. 1.00

01:13:13.200 Yeah, we're scumbags. 0.99

01:13:16.460 We're both still believing it, though. 0.98

01:13:18.060 Yeah, but, your life insurance, though.

01:13:19.760 I swear to God.

01:13:20.400 Please do.

01:13:20.800 Like, that's very important.

01:13:22.080 And, if you have, like, a baby.

01:13:23.860 Like, now.

01:13:24.640 See, now I'm gonna spit.

01:13:25.900 Life insurance is based on your age.

01:13:28.440 The older you get, the more expensive it is.

01:13:30.820 And, unfortunately, the more unhealthy you are, it's harder to get it.

01:13:34.000 Yeah.

01:13:34.120 So, if you have a baby, you can put your baby on for, like, a 30K whole life.

01:13:37.900 For, like, 10 bucks a month.

01:13:39.920 And, they'll keep it forever.

01:13:41.860 So, look into that for your kids.

01:13:43.600 You know what I mean?

01:13:44.240 It's very true.

01:13:44.840 Yeah.

01:13:45.180 It's very true.

01:13:45.960 He's not getting anything.

01:13:47.440 I'm not getting nothing from this.

01:13:49.140 It's very true.

01:13:50.320 You know what I mean?

01:13:51.580 I'm like.

01:13:52.320 That brings us to our sponsor today.

01:13:54.340 Just kidding.

01:13:56.760 Just kidding.

01:13:57.860 Okay.

01:13:58.220 And, then, the last one says, you were in a Papa John's commercial with Shaq. 0.79

01:14:00.780 Yep.

01:14:01.300 Which we already knew.

01:14:02.260 Right.

01:14:02.760 How was it working with Shaq?

01:14:03.560 I worked with Shaq a year or two ago.

01:14:06.300 He's great.

01:14:07.120 He's great.

01:14:07.660 He's weird.

01:14:08.240 But, he's great.

01:14:08.720 Yeah.

01:14:08.940 He's like a urban legend.

01:14:11.860 Yeah.

01:14:12.020 Like, in, like, the sense of, like, you know how Slenderman's, like, a legend?

01:14:18.660 It's not scary.

01:14:19.540 Like, Shaq's not, like, a Slenderman.

01:14:21.080 Scary.

01:14:21.280 But, it's like, you hear about Slenderman.

01:14:23.640 Yeah.

01:14:23.960 Yeah.

01:14:24.220 So, it's like, you hear about Shaq.

01:14:25.760 And, like, for some reason, Shaq's, like, kind of in your life because you're American and basketball.

01:14:29.880 Yeah.

01:14:30.080 You're like, of course they know Shaq.

01:14:30.800 Yeah.

01:14:30.980 It's like Shaq. 0.90

01:14:31.700 You know what I mean?

01:14:32.560 And, then, you see him. 0.99

01:14:34.760 And, you're like, holy shit. 0.98

01:14:35.720 He's really right there. 0.99

01:14:37.200 It's true.

01:14:37.720 And, he's taller than you expect.

01:14:39.280 Like, however tall you think.

01:14:40.300 Even bigger than I could have ever imagined.

01:14:41.720 Yeah.

01:14:41.960 However tall you think Shaq is, add, like, four or five inches. 0.95

01:14:45.120 Genuinely.

01:14:45.280 For real.

01:14:46.020 And, like, he had put his hand on my shoulder and it went down to, like, here. 0.95

01:14:49.280 And, I was like, yeah, bro, there's a reason you were a goat.

01:14:52.160 Like, you're just, like, bro, like, you're, like, a tree. 0.96

01:14:55.260 Like, it's crazy.

01:14:55.820 The big man.

01:14:56.180 Yeah.

01:14:56.780 He came on a live with me when I did TikTok in the mix a couple years ago with me and my friend Eric Cedeno.

01:15:03.740 And, my friend Eric loves to wear wigs.

01:15:06.660 And, like, Shaq had said at one point that he would wear the wig.

01:15:10.640 Yeah. 0.99

01:15:11.040 But, then when he sat down, he was like, I'm not wearing that shit on live, mind you. 0.99

01:15:14.740 And, I was like, all right. 0.99

01:15:15.740 And, then, like, my friend Eric was trying to ask him questions.

01:15:18.140 And, then, he was like, ask me another question.

01:15:19.920 Ask me another question.

01:15:20.800 He's kind of strange.

01:15:21.880 And, then, I go, you want another question?

01:15:23.680 He goes, yeah, a good one.

01:15:25.140 And, I go, okay, would you rather die by fire or die by freezing?

01:15:29.040 And, then, he was just looking at me.

01:15:30.360 And, I go, well.

01:15:32.160 And, then, he goes, why would you ask me a question like that?

01:15:34.560 Okay, what do you want, Shaq?

01:15:35.280 You said something interesting.

01:15:36.840 I said, okay, I'll say mine.

01:15:38.180 I'd rather die by fire.

01:15:41.120 Mind you, we're on live.

01:15:42.280 Yeah.

01:15:42.480 Like, we're on TikTok.

01:15:43.540 So, I'm like, what about you, Eric?

01:15:46.480 And, then, he.

01:15:47.000 And, the good thing is, if you die, your life insurance will.

01:15:49.240 And, what if you died right now?

01:15:50.920 But, he was fine.

01:15:51.840 He was a good time. 0.99

01:15:52.500 I like that he's able to be a little bit silly. 0.98

01:15:54.380 And, I appreciate that. 0.90

01:15:56.200 I give people like Shaq, like celebrities like Shaq, a little grace. 0.92

01:16:00.160 Me too.

01:16:00.460 Because, it's like, y'all don't understand.

01:16:02.240 The fact that he's not, I mean, a freakazoid oddball jumping out of buildings.

01:16:09.000 Like, and he's been so famous for so long.

01:16:11.320 You're right.

01:16:11.620 Like, it's like, I get it.

01:16:13.040 Like, and I've learned that for content creators too.

01:16:15.520 And, that's why when you said, if you're in it for just the money or just like the fame.

01:16:19.900 Yeah, appreciate it.

01:16:20.460 It's like, you don't understand.

01:16:21.360 Like, it's not natural to be able to open your phone and talk to millions of people.

01:16:25.660 Really not at all.

01:16:26.260 And, they're able to comment.

01:16:27.620 Like, even if it's good.

01:16:28.440 Like, I always say, like, people talk about the bad comments.

01:16:30.960 And, no one talks about the good comments.

01:16:32.480 That's very true. 1.00

01:16:32.920 That shit can, like, I mean, destroy your dopamine. 1.00

01:16:36.040 And, fucking, you start, like, you can start, like, feeding too much into the positive. 1.00

01:16:39.940 Yeah, it can make you arrogant. 1.00

01:16:40.820 Yeah.

01:16:40.860 Exactly.

01:16:41.420 It's like, then you got somebody who loves you who's saying, hey, you're doing a good

01:16:44.360 job, but it's not 10,000 people.

01:16:47.020 So, you know what I mean?

01:16:48.100 And so, like, if Shaq's a little weird, or if any celebrities are a little weird, a little.

01:16:52.800 They're all a little weird.

01:16:53.880 Yeah.

01:16:54.380 I'll give you a little bit of grace.

01:16:56.600 You start getting really weird.

01:16:57.740 It's like, bro, I don't care how famous you are, bro.

01:16:59.120 I agree with you, though.

01:17:00.780 And, I know what you mean by that, because you're talking about, like, just generally how they

01:17:04.480 interact with people.

01:17:05.540 And, I agree because, and you know this too, like, with the amount of famous people we've met at 0.97

01:17:09.360 this point, especially ones who have been famous for a long fucking time. 0.88

01:17:11.940 I've said before, like, they don't get treated normally, ever. 0.97

01:17:16.320 Yeah.

01:17:16.340 Ever.

01:17:16.400 Unless it's by their, like, close personal friends and family, but, like, anytime they're

01:17:21.160 anywhere where people are new, like, they're always treated very strange, or not talked

01:17:26.520 to at all.

01:17:27.440 Like a specimen.

01:17:28.600 Yeah. 1.00

01:17:28.820 Like, they treat them very strange and weird, so it's like, when you, like, fuck with them, 0.99

01:17:33.420 and make fun of them, or poke them, they enjoy it, because they're like, okay, this person 0.98

01:17:37.220 doesn't think I'm weird, and, like, untouchable. 0.99

01:17:39.960 And sometimes they're assholes, but that's very far and few between. 0.87

01:17:42.580 I mean, I honestly haven't had many, like, negative interactions with celebrities. 0.98

01:17:46.120 Yeah.

01:17:46.480 I've had one.

01:17:47.460 Me too.

01:17:48.020 I've had one pretty bad one.

01:17:49.320 The most, the rudest people I've ever met are reality stars.

01:17:53.260 Really? 0.60

01:17:53.680 Yeah.

01:17:53.940 Like, reality people.

01:17:54.900 I love Islanders.

01:17:55.860 Yeah.

01:17:56.120 Like, dating, like, dating shows.

01:17:57.580 Yeah.

01:17:57.780 Like, those are the ones that have been the rudest to me, or, like, competition, like, shows.

01:18:02.080 And it's, I think, because sometimes in those parties where we're commingling, they, for

01:18:06.600 some reason, think they're more traditional Hollywood than we are.

01:18:09.780 Yeah.

01:18:10.180 Which is crazy.

01:18:10.680 They still think they're, like, above us.

01:18:12.020 You're on the quickest time limit, actually. 1.00

01:18:14.200 Yeah, shit. 0.99

01:18:14.560 Yeah, like, come on now. 1.00

01:18:15.540 Yeah, we're actually in much different areas, in my opinion.

01:18:18.860 Yeah. 0.99

01:18:19.060 But, like, I don't give a fuck if you're here. 0.99

01:18:21.180 Yeah. 0.99

01:18:21.780 But I haven't had, I've only had one, like, truly negative celebrity.

01:18:26.540 Well, actually, two.

01:18:27.920 Now that I'm thinking about it.

01:18:28.540 Well, one was, like, when I was working, one was just, like, in passing.

01:18:31.520 Mm-hmm.

01:18:31.760 And that's, I would say, pretty good average for doing this for a long time.

01:18:35.860 Yeah, for sure.

01:18:35.940 Yeah.

01:18:36.000 Not too bad.

01:18:36.660 I think for most of them, they just want to be treated normally.

01:18:38.600 Yeah.

01:18:38.900 With Shaq, I, like, we had a script ready.

01:18:43.360 And I forgot why, but they kind of did away with the script.

01:18:45.840 Mm-hmm.

01:18:46.160 And so, I just wasn't, I don't know, it just wasn't meshing well.

01:18:51.380 And so, we were, like, all right, we're just going to do it.

01:18:53.880 And, like, I mean, it's cameras like this, and it's my first time being there.

01:18:57.360 I'm with Shaq. 0.99

01:18:58.120 We're in this, where they bought a house to, like, film this shit. 1.00

01:19:00.400 I'm, like, holy shit. 0.99

01:19:01.540 And so, I messed up my line, and he cracked the joke at me. 0.99

01:19:05.680 He goes, ah, you don't got it.

01:19:07.520 You don't got it. 1.00

01:19:08.940 And then I was, like, I don't know, like, I'm a prideful fuck. 1.00

01:19:12.280 So, I was, like, Shaq, you just met your fucking maker, Shaq. 1.00

01:19:17.440 Now, I'm going to nail that fucking line. 0.99

01:19:19.100 And then the next time I did, and I was, like, do you like that, big man? 1.00

01:19:21.780 And he started dying.

01:19:23.780 And he goes, oh, I like him.

01:19:25.600 And I was, like, all right.

01:19:27.680 And so, now, like, when I see Shaq, like, it's those little, like, moments that they really remember.

01:19:33.340 I agree.

01:19:33.780 And because it's, like, bro, you think about how many people Shaq meets or how many, like, people celebrities meet.

01:19:38.040 Yeah.

01:19:38.420 And they're, like, oh, how you been?

01:19:39.600 Yeah.

01:19:39.920 And it's, like, me?

01:19:40.900 Like, I'll be good.

01:19:43.720 But I met Chris Evans earlier this year.

01:19:46.080 I think I saw that video.

01:19:47.040 Yeah.

01:19:47.320 Like, when I met him, he came up.

01:19:49.940 They were, like, oh, this is Drew.

01:19:50.920 I was working with A24, who I love.

01:19:52.820 They're awesome.

01:19:53.440 Yeah.

01:19:53.800 And he was, like, oh, nice to meet you.

01:19:56.160 I was, like, hi, I'm Drew.

01:19:57.400 He's, like, Chris, nice to meet you.

01:19:58.780 And I go, can I be honest?

01:19:59.720 I thought about going, remind me your name again?

01:20:01.800 And I chickened out.

01:20:02.980 And then he laughed.

01:20:03.880 He was, like, I wish you did.

01:20:04.780 That would have been funny.

01:20:05.520 Yeah.

01:20:06.020 He's honestly funny. 0.99

01:20:07.040 Like, he's a silly goose. 0.98

01:20:08.640 But, like, when we started, he was, like, God, this is my bad side. 0.99

01:20:13.120 And I go, is it?

01:20:14.480 He goes, yeah. 0.99

01:20:15.140 I go, that sucks. 0.98

01:20:16.440 Are we ready to roll? 0.97

01:20:17.880 Oh, like, for the camera?

01:20:19.160 Yeah.

01:20:19.560 See, it's crazy.

01:20:20.400 Like, bro, your life is on the camera.

01:20:22.540 And you're still, like.

01:20:23.900 Yeah.

01:20:24.000 And that's why we were laughing about it, because he was, like, I think he was just being difficult

01:20:28.000 on purpose to be funny.

01:20:29.720 And then I was, like.

01:20:30.540 Oh, okay.

01:20:31.120 It was banter.

01:20:31.580 Yeah.

01:20:31.860 And I was, like.

01:20:32.380 I got you. 1.00

01:20:32.980 That sucks. 0.99

01:20:33.740 All right. 0.98

01:20:34.000 Are we rolling?

01:20:34.660 We're good?

01:20:35.060 Yeah.

01:20:35.280 Okay, perfect.

01:20:36.260 And even, like, I could tell that he was, like.

01:20:39.300 You can always tell when celebrities are pretty much at the end of, like, their press tour.

01:20:43.060 Because they're kind of, like.

01:20:44.240 Yeah. 1.00

01:20:44.620 Answering the same shit, like, over and over again. 1.00

01:20:46.700 So he gave me this really, like. 1.00

01:20:48.600 I was asking him, like, standard stuff.

01:20:50.540 Like, how do you feel being here?

01:20:51.380 Blah, blah, blah.

01:20:52.120 And he was giving me really great, like, poignant answers.

01:20:54.560 Then he gave me this really long, eloquent answer.

01:20:57.900 And then media trained down.

01:20:59.720 Like, he has that answer memorized.

01:21:02.260 And so then after he finished, I was looking at him.

01:21:03.940 I was, like. 0.99

01:21:04.700 You fucking nailed that, dude. 0.99

01:21:06.660 And then he's, like. 0.99

01:21:07.420 Didn't I?

01:21:08.160 And he's, like.

01:21:08.580 Yeah.

01:21:08.720 He's, like.

01:21:09.020 Give me a high five. 0.98

01:21:09.940 And we fucking dapped each other up. 0.98

01:21:11.400 Yeah. 0.99

01:21:11.900 And then we laughed.

01:21:12.580 And then he left.

01:21:13.200 And I was, like.

01:21:14.020 And when he left, she was, like.

01:21:14.960 Did you want to ask him, like, more silly questions?

01:21:16.880 I was, like. 0.95

01:21:17.740 Let him go.

01:21:18.700 Yeah.

01:21:18.820 He's tired.

01:21:19.500 He doesn't want to be here.

01:21:20.240 I can go.

01:21:20.360 You should have said, uh.

01:21:21.460 We could do this all day.

01:21:22.760 You should have, like.

01:21:23.580 Bro, you should have said something like that.

01:21:24.640 Yeah.

01:21:25.360 We can't keep meeting like this.

01:21:27.060 Yeah.

01:21:27.420 God.

01:21:27.800 You want to be with me so bad.

01:21:29.360 But, yeah.

01:21:29.780 I know.

01:21:30.220 I even, like.

01:21:31.000 I did an event literally a week or two ago.

01:21:34.060 And I met one of the guys from the Menendez Brothers show.

01:21:37.640 Like.

01:21:38.120 Nick Chavez.

01:21:38.880 I think he's his name.

01:21:39.740 Nice guy.

01:21:40.480 But when I was talking to him.

01:21:42.220 He made a.

01:21:43.160 He answered my question.

01:21:44.000 He was saying, oh.

01:21:44.460 I had this party at my house.

01:21:45.920 And I was, like.

01:21:46.440 Hosting these people at my house.

01:21:47.340 He kept saying, like.

01:21:48.000 I had a party at my house.

01:21:49.180 Said it, like.

01:21:49.480 Three times.

01:21:50.340 And then after the third time.

01:21:51.340 I go.

01:21:51.760 You had a party at your house and didn't invite me? 1.00

01:21:53.920 That's fucked up. 1.00

01:21:55.020 And then he. 1.00

01:21:55.880 I don't know if he was.

01:21:56.840 Thought I was being serious.

01:21:57.740 I'm assuming.

01:21:58.600 Because he goes.

01:21:59.160 I literally just met you.

01:22:01.340 I just met you.

01:22:02.160 And that would have made me mad.

01:22:05.140 Hey.

01:22:05.760 Do you think I wanted to go to your party?

01:22:07.500 And he said that.

01:22:08.300 And I go.

01:22:08.640 Oh, you just met me.

01:22:10.240 So you can't invite me to your house.

01:22:13.020 All right.

01:22:13.860 I just come in.

01:22:14.660 I'm like.

01:22:14.840 You want to act like that?

01:22:15.640 Then I'm going to act for real.

01:22:16.780 And then I was like.

01:22:17.720 It's fine.

01:22:18.100 It's fine.

01:22:18.400 You didn't invite me.

01:22:18.940 I got it.

01:22:19.380 I got it.

01:22:19.880 All right.

01:22:20.060 I got it.

01:22:20.640 And then at the end.

01:22:21.360 He was like.

01:22:23.040 I get it.

01:22:24.660 Oh, God.

01:22:25.720 It's a quick one.

01:22:27.680 I was like.

01:22:28.200 Well, thank God.

01:22:28.880 You got there eventually.

01:22:29.820 I hate when people don't get my jokes.

01:22:31.220 Oh, my God.

01:22:32.440 And then you got to be like.

01:22:33.180 Wait. 1.00

01:22:33.300 No, I'm not a piece of shit. 1.00

01:22:35.700 I was. 0.99

01:22:36.500 I thought you would like this.

01:22:37.920 I'm so sorry.

01:22:38.660 I just commit at that point.

01:22:39.880 Really?

01:22:40.280 Yeah.

01:22:40.600 Why not? 0.99

01:22:40.940 Just hit him. 0.99

01:22:41.540 You've actually watched me.

01:22:43.160 You talked about that the last time you were here.

01:22:45.060 You watched me live.

01:22:46.220 That happened to me.

01:22:47.240 What part?

01:22:47.760 When?

01:22:48.320 Because we were at Coachella.

01:22:49.840 Yeah.

01:22:50.160 And then that guy we met.

01:22:51.160 I made a joke.

01:22:51.820 And he didn't get it.

01:22:52.660 Yeah.

01:22:52.920 I love that joke.

01:22:53.500 And then I stood there.

01:22:54.340 And I was like.

01:22:54.780 And you know what's crazy?

01:22:55.760 You know what's crazy?

01:22:56.580 Like, I'll never forget.

01:22:57.600 I was like.

01:22:58.180 You were like behind me.

01:22:59.560 And I'm like.

01:23:01.640 You know what I mean?

01:23:02.760 And then I hear the joke.

01:23:03.720 I go.

01:23:06.540 Well, glad I had one. 1.00

01:23:07.780 Shit. 1.00

01:23:08.600 That's why I said. 1.00

01:23:09.600 Fucking. 1.00

01:23:09.980 Oh. 1.00

01:23:10.480 Tough room. 0.99

01:23:11.100 My fucking bad. 0.99

01:23:12.320 That's why I hate when. 0.99

01:23:13.580 I hate when they don't get my jokes, too.

01:23:15.420 At that point, I'm like.

01:23:16.420 I hate.

01:23:17.020 I hate when I do like a.

01:23:18.300 Like a.

01:23:19.240 A mean joke.

01:23:20.220 Like, it's like.

01:23:20.640 Oh, I'm going to be fake mean.

01:23:22.160 And we're going to all laugh at this.

01:23:23.240 And they go.

01:23:23.520 Oh.

01:23:24.640 No, no, no.

01:23:25.240 Please.

01:23:26.460 Please.

01:23:26.780 I'm sorry.

01:23:29.160 I was being silly.

01:23:30.000 My mom would hate it if you thought I was mean. 0.93

01:23:31.620 For real.

01:23:32.940 My mom's going to see this.

01:23:33.900 Yeah, bro.

01:23:34.520 Stop.

01:23:35.440 No, for real.

01:23:36.120 Okay.

01:23:37.200 To wrap us.

01:23:38.380 Okay.

01:23:39.260 I forgot we're doing a show.

01:23:40.880 We're just chopping it up.

01:23:42.400 Bro, there's cameras here. 1.00

01:23:43.980 Holy shit. 1.00

01:23:44.840 You're so good at this, bro. 1.00

01:23:46.080 Period.

01:23:46.540 You're so good at this.

01:23:47.260 Yeah.

01:23:48.440 Do you have any advice for any aspiring creatives?

01:23:51.880 Whether they're like going to start on social or if they want to write like you or do anything

01:23:55.200 else.

01:23:55.560 Do you have any advice for them?

01:23:58.220 Yeah.

01:23:58.900 And funny enough, we talked about it earlier in this episode, but it's like you have to

01:24:02.220 believe in yourself.

01:24:03.980 And like you have to trust yourself.

01:24:06.240 And that's really hard because you start to there's like kind of two yous.

01:24:10.900 The you that you are and the you that you want to be.

01:24:13.100 And to get to that you that you want to be, you have to really just believe in yourself.

01:24:17.380 Yeah.

01:24:17.500 And it's like you're going to sound cocky to people.

01:24:19.800 Like it's like, I don't care what you think.

01:24:20.980 I'm going to do it.

01:24:21.780 I can't wait to see it.

01:24:23.060 Yeah, you will.

01:24:23.940 Yeah.

01:24:24.080 And they'll be like, oh, he's a cocky guy.

01:24:25.880 Yeah, I am.

01:24:26.880 Like you can't.

01:24:27.760 I'm cocky about me.

01:24:29.140 Exactly.

01:24:29.540 Right.

01:24:29.920 Exactly.

01:24:30.360 And you can't like, I mean, I love Kendrick Lamar. 0.99

01:24:34.160 And the line that really spoke to me is I can't fake humble because your ass is insecure. 0.99

01:24:40.180 What do you mean? 1.00

01:24:41.020 Oh, my gosh.

01:24:42.080 And so like, and that's what I try to do.

01:24:43.460 I used to try to downplay myself around people.

01:24:46.040 So, oh, yeah, I make jokes, but, you know, they're kind of funny.

01:24:48.460 And like now I'm like, no, I'm the funniest guy on the internet.

01:24:52.620 And many people would agree with you.

01:24:54.520 Myself included.

01:24:55.500 And if people don't agree, they don't agree.

01:24:57.340 Yeah.

01:24:57.780 But I do.

01:24:58.660 So I think the same thing.

01:25:00.060 I think, well, one of us gets paid to do it for a living.

01:25:03.000 And so I think I'm pretty good.

01:25:04.100 Let's check tape.

01:25:06.180 I have tape.

01:25:07.080 You don't even have tape.

01:25:07.820 Let's check tape.

01:25:08.320 Yeah.

01:25:08.440 And so that and then like people don't really like consistency is and none of this is going

01:25:15.760 to be like the secret sauce that you probably haven't heard ever before.

01:25:19.260 The reason why you keep hearing these things is because that's the sauce.

01:25:23.220 For real.

01:25:23.640 And so it's like the consistency.

01:25:25.860 And I realize once you learn the lesson of consistency, I've had this saying in the back

01:25:31.960 of my mind, like consistency is a paint that can go on any canvas.

01:25:35.100 So it's like working out, being a better person.

01:25:38.560 Yeah.

01:25:39.320 Creative.

01:25:40.320 Work.

01:25:40.820 Like if you are consistent in anything that you do, you'll get better at that thing.

01:25:45.020 And it doesn't have to include money or fame or anything like that.

01:25:48.120 It really could be if you want to be a better son, a better daughter, a better anything.

01:25:51.680 You got to be consistent at it.

01:25:53.060 And you got to be more consistent than anybody around you.

01:25:56.080 I agree.

01:25:56.560 You got to you got to.

01:25:58.140 Hey, I can't go to this thing because I got to shoot this.

01:26:00.720 I got to write this.

01:26:01.600 I got to write whatever.

01:26:02.920 You got to sacrifice for yourself.

01:26:05.220 And then there is no.

01:26:08.240 OK, I'm going to get to this point and then everything's going to be like cake for me.

01:26:12.020 I'll just live off my name.

01:26:13.460 Right.

01:26:14.160 You got to keep doing it.

01:26:15.380 Yeah.

01:26:15.840 You got to do the work to get here.

01:26:17.580 Then you got to do more work to like do more things like like, bro, like you have, bro,

01:26:22.420 you have employees here and you have like a makeup crew, set design cameras like that 0.96

01:26:28.400 shit don't just happen. 0.99

01:26:29.960 Right. 0.99

01:26:30.280 You know what I'm saying?

01:26:30.820 It took you years to get to that point.

01:26:32.640 So like be easier on yourselves and understand that like it really takes 10,000 hours.

01:26:38.060 Right.

01:26:38.460 Really does.

01:26:39.420 I agree.

01:26:40.100 And I've said the same thing that you've said.

01:26:42.420 And also like if I really do believe this and I'm sure you do too, if you really have

01:26:49.460 something, it will happen.

01:26:51.520 Like if you stay consistent, like you said, consistency is a huge thing.

01:26:54.360 I tell people all the time.

01:26:55.160 I posted every single day for over two years.

01:26:57.980 Yep.

01:26:58.500 Well into three years at that point.

01:26:59.940 Like I was like, I was every single day I posted at least once.

01:27:02.920 And that was just because I wanted to, but also because I wanted to stay consistent with

01:27:06.120 it.

01:27:06.700 So it's like, I really do believe if you have, if you have something to offer the work,

01:27:12.420 it will manifest for you.

01:27:14.340 And, um, most people, let me not say most, but, but like, uh, yeah, I'll say it.

01:27:20.360 Most people don't give themselves enough time to where they can look back at something and

01:27:26.720 go, man, I sucked when I started, but look at me now.

01:27:29.160 Yeah. 0.93

01:27:29.580 And I feel like that's one of the biggest, like, and it's, it's a moment that you have

01:27:33.920 with yourself.

01:27:34.520 Cause it's like, you've been, no matter who's been on the journey with you, you've been on

01:27:38.180 the journey like the whole time.

01:27:39.180 Like, you know, the ins and outs, the secrets, the, the things that nobody has seen, like

01:27:43.420 about what you do and how you do it.

01:27:45.600 So it's like sometimes, and maybe you do this too, like you ever just go and see your like

01:27:50.680 oldest videos?

01:27:51.780 Yeah. 0.99

01:27:52.240 Man, I used to suck. 1.00

01:27:53.400 Yeah. 0.99

01:27:53.560 I cringe really bad.

01:27:54.740 It's hard for me to look back to be honest.

01:27:56.820 I don't like it.

01:27:57.920 I'm over here back then.

01:27:58.920 I was like, I'm shadow man.

01:28:00.560 Like it's them, not me, but like, but like it really was me.

01:28:05.840 And it was like, it's cause this is a skill and I had to get better at it.

01:28:08.740 And so now like, I like, I like when people say I don't miss, but it's like, bro, y'all

01:28:12.840 just didn't see the misses.

01:28:14.200 Yeah.

01:28:14.600 Like you, you'll never see a miss.

01:28:16.040 At this point you're not going to see misses.

01:28:17.320 Yeah.

01:28:17.860 I'm better at the skill now, but like.

01:28:19.420 But if you saw me back then, you would have seen them.

01:28:21.220 But that's the same way.

01:28:22.140 When you say like people can't perceive themselves, like what if I make a video and it's so bad and

01:28:25.640 everyone sees it?

01:28:26.500 Well, that's not how algorithms work.

01:28:27.960 Right.

01:28:28.320 When a video is bad, no one will see it.

01:28:30.560 No one will see it.

01:28:31.160 That's the best part about it.

01:28:32.700 And that's what people don't get.

01:28:33.380 That's actually such a good point.

01:28:34.420 Yeah.

01:28:34.840 So it's like, unless it's like really like, it's like, it gets on cringe pages, but like,

01:28:38.820 but even though you're not going to get on those.

01:28:40.240 Yeah.

01:28:40.560 But, um, but yeah, like, so I was like, oh, these videos aren't doing well.

01:28:44.060 It's them, not me.

01:28:45.180 And then I realized maybe it's me.

01:28:46.960 Maybe, maybe I really need to take the time and learn my craft and get better at it.

01:28:50.380 And then, and then now I'm making like, even bro, I made a video like two,

01:28:53.360 three days ago and it's my favorite video I've ever made.

01:28:55.660 I know that.

01:28:56.540 And so it's like, bro, like I'm able to look back and see my progress.

01:29:00.860 And that keeps me going.

01:29:02.960 What I talked about, you know, earlier in this, in the pod was I'm kind of talking to

01:29:07.500 my future self.

01:29:08.300 Yeah.

01:29:08.720 Cause I'm able to look at my past self.

01:29:10.320 Yeah.

01:29:10.620 And so I can see how much I've progressed.

01:29:13.100 And I know that that future Tony has even progressed, has progressed even more than me.

01:29:17.500 Yeah.

01:29:17.760 So I let myself be okay with the turmoil and the uneasiness and the no foundation right

01:29:23.860 now.

01:29:24.540 Cause I know I'll get it eventually.

01:29:25.640 Yeah.

01:29:25.880 That just, you're in a period of growth.

01:29:27.200 Yeah.

01:29:27.420 That's why it's uncomfortable when you have to grow.

01:29:29.140 Yeah.
