Speaker 4:one time You're going to share it again.
Speaker 3:Okay, again, these are curated by things that I see in passing or that one of us is going through, or all of us are going through. So what is your ideal creative life look like?
Speaker 4:Shit. Well, that's easy.
Speaker 2:Creative life. What do you mean, creative life?
Speaker 3:Like when you're creative, like you do comedy. What would your ideal creative life look like? What would you be in your space to be like? You know what? This is my ultimate time to be creative. I want to be on a sitcom.
Speaker 4:I literally. You are a funny nigga.
Speaker 2:I want to be. Thank you. I want to be on a sitcom. I would love to be on TV.
Speaker 4:Like a, like like a fear, like a skit or like like, like straight up sitcom.
Speaker 3:Like with with the script. Are you talking about that?
Speaker 2:Fuck you. I love Theo. Okay, thank you very much, jason.
Speaker 1:Weaver was on that show. I got you this nigga's on rock.
Speaker 2:Period In God blessed child yes, like a TV show. I would love to be on the TV show, okay.
Speaker 3:But not no skits, just straight up. I don't think I'm opposed to the skits, to be honest with you, because I think you would be doping like a skit setting because you'd play different characters instead of just being locked into one character I think I.
Speaker 2:I think so too, because I do yeah, I haven't done this on the podcast yet, but I do so many different damn impressions so I think I will right now no, so I think I probably would be if you watch my if you look at my, in my tiktok I have posted some, but I um I think, I will be, I think that I think you would thrive in that I mean she's black.
Speaker 4:Most black women got at least 10 personalities, nigga okay no, my wife got 10 of them.
Speaker 2:No, I legitimately like and this is not even to toot my own, my own horn. I know that I'm funny, I just don't like to. I'm nervous still. Why, getting out there and doing it in front of other people, you?
Speaker 4:know that passion you had towards violence.
Speaker 2:Keep just violent funny character maybe, maybe, I'm telling you I could be fictitious cousin or something so you gotta be on a fictitious old wives that left them for real, nevermind. I was like fictitious wives.
Speaker 1:Don't leave fictitious. He got money, he got goals, nigga shit.
Speaker 2:They ain't going nowhere, they just don't talk. But yeah, that's always been my, my goal. Like eventually I think I may try to like get some head shots to see what I could, what I could pull off.
Speaker 3:But I do. I think you're thriving that.
Speaker 2:Pause. Was I supposed to say pause?
Speaker 1:I feel like that almost felt like it. I was like is that a lady pause. I feel like that's a lady pause.
Speaker 4:My bad. Now we know what Finland tastes like. Oh.
Speaker 1:Oh God, oh Lord.
Speaker 4:I gotta calm down, I'm so tired. Okay, you said creative life.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Honestly, I don't know, because you said that my brain went somewhere else. My brain went to me having a barnuminium on a lake and the master bedroom was upstairs, with a balcony.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, I was thinking the same thing, but not like in. I was thinking the same thing, but not like I was thinking living space? Not, but not for fucking he does he immediately he did not leave that balcony off, yeah, nah.
Speaker 4:In the lake. The lake is important.
Speaker 3:I like looking at water you know, they have these apple visions let's take yeah you put them on and they have this one. I gotta see what I'm doing too at the same time they have this scene where you're at the lake and the lake's right in front of you and the river's flowing, I'm pretty sure they can add, I like looking at water because it's peaceful it is it's very peaceful.
Speaker 4:I have a picture of me. I think this was like my 34th or 35th birthday. We were down by Queen Mary and I literally just sat right there on the pier for like a good 30 minutes. It was probably the best time of my day. I like to show like that, but um, you a hot ass man.
Speaker 1:I'm a how many times. You look exactly like that, nigga.
Speaker 2:You're right, you look exactly like that's exactly where my mind went when he said that, like that, nigga said no to Dr DeBay, the one from what was that?
Speaker 3:the headphones? The green shirt.
Speaker 4:I think, creatively, I would like to to me, get the, get my ventures to a place where I can wake up and have like my own recording space, like for the podcasts and stuff that's, you know, coincidentally close to home. So I got to, you know, because I'm walking distance, type deal, and then I could just like everything's in one area, so record, edit all that stuff and then have that be pretty much set up to where it's like already a machine. Everything's in one area, so record, edit all that stuff and then have that be pretty much set up towards like it's like already a machine, that's like the content pumping itself out, type deal creatively. I think for me personally, my personal creativity, I think I'm still trying to still finding that because I don't really feel like. I feel like I say funny. I think I'm still trying to still find that Because I don't. I don't really feel like I'm. I say I feel like I say funny shit, but I'm not a funny person, I'm more of a serious tell you about yourself person.
Speaker 1:Why do you go to funny for creative?
Speaker 4:I said. I said I don't feel like I'm a funny person. Yeah, so what? What's that got? What my shit is nigga. That's what I'm saying. This funny nigga here that's getting for real question. No, I just feel like I don't. You know, I'm not saying that you have to be funny to be creative. I'm just saying, when I view creativity, I view as creating something that's going to be entertaining, and I don't necessarily think I have You're entertaining, you don't have to entertain me.
Speaker 1:This has to be your niche for creative no you think motherfuckers on the pottery wheel entertaining some people are?
Speaker 3:like you expect every person.
Speaker 4:This one chick, you know what. Nothing to do with the pottery.
Speaker 2:I can't wait till we start to interview like even bigger names than what we interview.
Speaker 4:You couldn't do that shit when you was a little turn.
Speaker 2:No, because you over talking shit about a bitch and I had to wheel it back to the fucking question because otherwise Pottery wheel. See how it go together. We was going to go over a damn tangent and it was going to end up on a balcony.
Speaker 1:Probably.
Speaker 3:She's not wrong. Yeah, probably she's not wrong. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 4:Yeah, nigga you should like look into and being endorsed by a balcony company but that creates balconies and shit I probably should yeah, I could test them for certain, because that's definitely a talent.
Speaker 2:That's your creative talent.
Speaker 4:You do some things on the balcony but I do think that would be dope because I love what we do now.
Speaker 2:I love that we interviewed the local. That's my favorite part of the podcast.
Speaker 4:I guess, I guess for me personally, I think my creative goal would be to what I, what I've been striving for is kind of like upgrade the visuals. I think that's.
Speaker 2:I guess that's how I I and that's a great place to be creative, and I I commend you for what you, what you've done thus far, because even just the little thumbnails that you had me do, I was about to lose my mind. Welcome, yeah, but you know what I appreciated that experience? Because it put into perspective for me the things that you do outside you here for hours and then go home and spend so much time on that. So it did, and now I'm not trying to sleep with you, so don't say quit trying to fuck me. I'm just telling you that I appreciate the additional work that you put in to make sure that we look solid as a team.
Speaker 3:She said I appreciate that I enjoy the, the, especially how the the intros look like they hype me up when I watch them.
Speaker 2:The thing is, I don't even like them oh man, but you do such a good job and it's such a hard work I wanna redo that shit so bad, I'm so hard on myself when I do that like just to create a brain and you didn't pick ugly pictures of me and I appreciate that, because I just knew your ass was gonna pick I'll look for some.
Speaker 3:I know you did.
Speaker 4:I know you did I know you said you don't have any the way I know, I couldn't know, I didn't say you didn't have any.
Speaker 2:I said I couldn't find, I don't, I don't. One thing I could do was take a fucking picture. Thank you very much. With a filter, without a filter. With a filter, I'm a bad bitch and I don't know why you be trying to play with your answer to the question we go, we gonna touch on With a filter. Without a filter, I am a bad bitch. What's up Huh?
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. See how that I was trying to. I was lying like somebody was over there to like.
Speaker 2:And then see how I said ain't nobody over there?
Speaker 4:Let me finish what the fuck I was saying Peek-a-boo, you are my biggest hater.
Speaker 2:I swear to God, you hate on me harder than these hoes in this street. I don't understand.
Speaker 4:There's nothing to hate on, though, Kevin. Are you answering?
Speaker 3:Kevin, are you answering?
Speaker 2:I am dead. It's the motherfucking demon, nigga. You are out your demo. Kevin, what is your answer?
Speaker 1:I'm just laughing at how your nigga popped her collar Sid.
Speaker 2:Shit is your answer.
Speaker 4:I'm just laughing how you nigga popped her collar, said she ain't, that's that that's that kendrick is it ideal.
Speaker 1:Did you? What'd you say? Who drive?
Speaker 2:we're going to tams, no, no because y'all didn't want to go when I wanted to go originally there's a Tams off Van Buren oh okay, because I was like no, it's too far.
Speaker 1:You saying like ideal creative.
Speaker 3:Like your space to create. Or just where you want to be, where you feel like you'd be at your most creative.
Speaker 1:My most creative. Oddly it's. I don't know if it's stand-up or if it's writing like writing do you feel that you have? You get more enjoyment from the writing or more enjoyment from the stand-up, the stage I think I feel like it's almost equal, just to see the results of my ideas coming out the way I want them to. Like people understanding that, let me ask you this.
Speaker 4:Do you feel you could be, or do you feel like you could get enjoyment from watching someone perform your writing, or do you feel like you're the only person that can deliver it the way it was intended to be?
Speaker 1:no, for stand-up. No, nobody I don't think would deliver what I deliver out of the things I make jokes out of. Now writing other things, that is fun. And watching, because I've, like I told you I don't know why it's hard to write, but I still think I have a brilliant idea that still has yet to be duplicated and I'm like I have people in my head, head the way I write it is written off of them. So, like the hard part of that is, as you do those things, you have to be the character. You know what I mean. So it's like the fun part is when you write that stuff out and then somebody you watch read it and like you could tell they're like oh hell, yeah, that's. Oh, I could picture that, and they tell you about your story but it's still interpreted what you wanted it to, but they still pull things out of it. That's just fun.
Speaker 1:So I guess being able to freely write down my ideas and watch them come to fruition, like I think the thing with that, sometimes you'll write stuff and then somebody else will get him like we should do this, this and this and this and you're like that's not mine, no more. So I think it would be something that's where I could just freely write my thoughts and convey them. Now, if I was writing somewhere, I would like to be like a a beach. I'm a. I'm a. I'm like water. I'm a water guy, like when I lived in washington my house that I used to write a lot more there because one of the houses I lived in, the uh, the deck would look out on the water. So I would just go out and just the deck, just right on the it's a big ass lower balcony, it's a big ass deck it's a big ass.
Speaker 3:It's a lower balcony. It's a big ass. Deck.
Speaker 1:It's a big ass deck, big ass deck and ain't nobody gonna pause. God damn no but like that's where I got my most writing done was just sitting there and just turn on some music and just nature. Shit.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm good outside yeah or music, music, music makes me write a lot too when you write your jokes and you go to perform them, do they come out exactly how you wrote them?
Speaker 1:my nigga. Do they come out exactly how I wrote them? Uh, for the most part yes, because I'm ridiculous. When I write, I'm very meticulous. I try not to write the whole thing out, but I do so, I've learned to.
Speaker 1:When I write the whole thing out, I don't copy it the way I say it. If I'm like when I write it, I say write it how. I kind of like think it, but like I write it to where I can get it out in shorthand. But I know how it goes. But then, like, as I'm doing it, I kind of like picture myself up there and okay, and then I'll go through it in my head or seeing myself up there, and then I'm like like that kind of sounds dumb right there or this should go in.
Speaker 1:And then, like I've told you before, you might have seen my writing, like it'll come from okay, I, I got this whole thing here. And then I'm like, ah, this is stupid. And then I'll write a fucking line somewhere over here, and then this is the punch in here. And then it'll be like, maybe a few days later I'm like, ah, nah, take that out, and I put a line there, and then I'll put a different thing somewhere in here with little ass baby writing. But like as I do that, it's almost like that's how I memorize the jokes, cause I'm going over it so much, I'm editing it so much.
Speaker 1:I'm doing all these different things where like, okay, this should go here, like I think I remember telling one of my friends I was like it does. I think the art of it is to be at my own joke. Right, the fuck here, and it, somehow it works Like that's. One thing I've learned about me is like I don't know if you've ever heard comedians when they talk about them. They hate when people laugh at their own jokes. I laugh at my own shit all the time. I'm always laughing up there, but I never get any flack for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think your laughing made me laugh harder.
Speaker 1:Most people are like. It looks like it's, it feels like it's natural. It's not like something where you're like oh, you should be laughing here. I'm like no, I'm actually laughing, but I'm actually laughing. I mean like, but sometimes that's just deliberate, where I'm like I know my laugh can lighten it up a little bit, so it's a soften the blow every once in a while I'm having a hard time writing a whole joke, I could just write the.
Speaker 2:I could write the concept, I know what I'm about to get up there and say, but I can't write the whole like Well, that's the hardest part.
Speaker 1:Do you know the?
Speaker 2:structure. What nigga Nothing? No, no, no, no, no no, Nothing. My brain is on one no, no, no, no, no no, no, you don't ever stand ten toes out on your shit and I can't respect it. What?
Speaker 1:I'm trying to be, nice, here she says seven toes deep.
Speaker 4:Only got eight toes anyway, do you? No, I'm lying.
Speaker 1:I was like Some of you just spring on somebody Right.
Speaker 2:My whole heart dropped.
Speaker 1:Like damn, am I making fun of this nigga?
Speaker 3:And you wear.
Speaker 4:Crocs.
Speaker 2:Right, I feel bad immediately, like damn. I'm making fun of this nigga. He got photos on each foot, sorry.
Speaker 4:Oh shit, mcfly. What's your answer to that? Now you're looking at my subscribe.
Speaker 3:I'm perfect. I like quiet seclusion if I'm you won't sleep in the booth uh, I like the booth.
Speaker 3:I just I don't know like when I get in a creative thought process and I'm in a, a space where I'm not bothered, it's quiet, I'm able to think about what I'm wanting to write and no one's like constantly coming in or or saying anything to kind of disrupt the creative process. I'm just that's where I'm perfect, like if I'm sitting in a studio and I know for a fact I have these ideas and I'm writing them in front of me and if I can go as soon as I'm done with them, go put them put them down.
Speaker 3:It's like it's like it's probably like the biggest high as far as creative-wise, because it's like I want the world to hear it immediately. Am I the?
Speaker 4:only person that has like the best ideas at the worst time.
Speaker 1:I was going to say do you ever?
Speaker 4:come up with shit in the car.
Speaker 1:Because I come up with a gang of jokes.
Speaker 3:I usually do voice memos if I like if it's really, I just hit the voice memo, I just say it so.
Speaker 1:I don't forget it.
Speaker 3:Oh, I've had a whole sitcom.
Speaker 1:I've had a whole, everything. I've had a whole and I'm like, oh, I'll write this down. I'm like, what the fuck did I talk to myself about?
Speaker 4:I'm telling you, kevin, to that point I've wrote a skit for the podcast to every Kendrick song.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, at this, you are the tv off, you are dedicated. I'm so quiet. You like it quiet and uninterrupted. So like where, though? Dark? Not dark because you can't write in the dark, but you know uh, I can, because you usually just type it in your phone oh see, I haven't. I've done it, but I don't prefer it.
Speaker 3:I prefer typing on phone because my chicken scratch is horrible.
Speaker 1:I like my chicken scratch.
Speaker 3:I'll be trying to figure out what I was trying to say.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love it because you can't steal my shit, but the thing is, even when I do that, it's thought improv anyway. What I write down isn't usually how it comes out. It's usually how it sounds when I I'm doing in the, in the process of writing or performing it. So I can write it, however, but you look at it, but this isn't at all how you said. Like how you wrote. It is how you said. It's completely different. So I think, no matter what, it still has to be interpreted, because even when I write down, it's still kind of just the concept. That's why a lot of times it's hard for me to remember, because it's usually a freestyle when I'm rapping, because I'm like, all right, it says this, but in my mind it sounds way different.
Speaker 1:It's like a bass line almost yeah.
Speaker 3:So I just use it as a guide. But what I do, it comes out on the fly Like it's whatever sounds dope to me in my head.
Speaker 1:You know, I think just you saying that I think that's another place I kind of thrive in, that I don't play in is improv, Like I think I know I'm pretty good at improv, Like I've done it, but that's another one.
Speaker 2:I feel like you'd be great at that.
Speaker 1:I would love to see you do improv. No, we used to like, we used to whenever I had a room, we used to have every first month, first wednesday of the month, we do improv and all that shit. Basically, whose line it is anyway? Type shit. But I hate that I said that. But yeah, like I remember going to an improv class and it's fun because it's like a bunch of strangers and it's like I was like fuck it, dog, let's have fun like this is dope you say improv.
Speaker 4:I went back to the office where he was Michael's car.
Speaker 1:Oh man, We'll go over the structure one day.
Speaker 2:Okay, I would love that.
Speaker 1:I think that'll help a lot. Thank you, because there's only like three parts and then you'll go oh shit, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:So what creative goals did you set for yourself this year, and how did you progress? For 2024 or 2025, 2024 but y'all know how to map down 2025.
Speaker 2:Um well, hell, getting on that damn stage was the first one.
Speaker 4:You did really good, though I really, and you was funny. Thank you she did good, I legitimately was nervous, you did great, so I definitely appreciate that.
Speaker 2:Thank you, she did good. I legitimately was nervous.
Speaker 3:You did great.
Speaker 2:So I definitely appreciate that and I think You've been talking your shit on TikTok. Yeah, I have been Look at you, I support you, thank you, and I do be saying you like my stuff, so thank you. But yes, I've been making my TikToks trying to say what I got to say on TikTok a little bit more, just to kind of get more comfortable with having people look at me audience-wise. That's been kind of my goal this year.
Speaker 3:So you guys okay cool, all right cool, we got through that trend there was no.
Speaker 2:Okay, I like it.
Speaker 4:I like it. I was just making sure.
Speaker 3:Because I was waiting. The compliments came and I was like are they going to?
Speaker 4:No, I'm still what Kevin said. Still got me fucked up.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm just making sure. I'm like because you guys have been doing the whole.
Speaker 4:The whole line about something I should play in more, but I don't and my brain took a oh my goodness gracious.
Speaker 2:Well, we were so close child, oh my, we were so close child, oh my goodness gracious mid compliment oh my goodness, mid compliment.
Speaker 4:I've used the letter after this year trying to get more comfortable with the face videos. I've tried. I've been hard on myself the last couple weeks because I have not, because I said my goal was to post one at least every other day when I can take my walks, and I think I'm starting to call you on my walks to avoid making the video is that why I'm getting a frequent call now?
Speaker 3:I thought I was special, well.
Speaker 4:I mean I'm checking on you but and actually I actually made a couple didn't post them because Phoenix was doing wild shit, Because the last couple times I walked she's been going with me.
Speaker 3:So if you believe in this TikTok ban, are you just going to defer them to Instagram?
Speaker 4:Well, I don't really post on TikTok anyway.
Speaker 2:Well, yes, yes, if they ban TikTok Instagram, they don't ban TikTok, but if they do, instagram is about to take over. I should buy some stock on Instagram.
Speaker 1:I ain't got enough money to do that put a hundred dollars in there that's not to make it worth it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so that's it. I'm just just trying to get more comfortable. I don't have fictitious money, just trying to get more. You would think, because of the podcast and the other podcasts, that I'd be more comfortable making my own personal videos, but I guess the setting is different. It's not the same. Yeah, I think I found it easier when I put it on the tripod.
Speaker 3:What I sound fat. You don't have any notorious.
Speaker 2:You feel like you sound fat. That's hilarious. Any notorious you feel?
Speaker 1:like you sound fat. That's hilarious.
Speaker 2:I watch you here and I watch you on your other. I watch both.
Speaker 4:I watch you both, here and on the other, and I don't on my personal videos y'all, y'all hear the words.
Speaker 1:I hear I say nigga, I can't breathe that's hilarious you don't sound fat but I will tell you what lots of rappers sound fat to me like who I won't say on camera, but plug xl.
Speaker 2:That nigga, that nigga, but I I think I, I swear to god, I think you, you have like introduced me to music different than I've, than I've ever paid attention. So so when rappers rap, now I can hear when they in between the. You need to go to the motherfuckers.
Speaker 1:Because they'd just be smoking and not working out or nothing. Breath control too.
Speaker 2:So some of the live shows that I've been to locally, I can hear I'm so focused on it. I can hear, instead of what the fuck the word was, they were saying yeah, you sound like an artist welcome oh welcome to the arts yeah
Speaker 1:you like I'll tell you like that's why it's hard for me to like watch comedy, like, especially like with like you saw my friends dan and all them and sierra, and like dietrich, how we used to like when we were coming up. We used to like and I took this shit to washington like we would like pick each other's like tics out and like point that shit out, like oh so what's that?
Speaker 1:like like I had a friend up there. Like after every word you just I'm like stop, man. Like every word you say, so today we went to the dog, you gotta stop. But that shit, that's the type of shit you will start to notice.
Speaker 2:I notice it in my own. I've watched that video of me a hundred times and I can tell where my crazy shit comes out in my own video. You say that the video of me doing the stand up at the venue, yeah, you say that and I was listening to.
Speaker 3:Jake Cole and because the podcast the podcast, and because we do the podcast now I can pay attention to the mistake he's making, because this is something it's not usually his wheelhouse. So like I'm listening, I'm like you can tell he don't do this shit yeah, like and it's.
Speaker 3:It's something where you, oh yeah, you don't do this shit. You can tell, but it's only because we do the podcast so often and I listen to other podcasts that are more polished as far as they've been doing it for so long that they have an understanding of how it's supposed to be presented. So it's interesting when you point that out.
Speaker 2:You do pay attention to, like yeah but you sound good on the mic, maurice I, I'm talking about my personal videos, I ain't talking about, because this shit is edited.
Speaker 4:He says he cuts the fat out yeah that's funny.
Speaker 3:You can't hear all the roles in this motherfucker. He's shooting the fat. What filter?
Speaker 1:is that. I can't say, because that's all of them, all of them. What is it? Bold beauty? So you can see bitches wrinkles? Because that's all of them, all of them. What is it bold, bold beauty? So you can see bitches wrinkles all over the top of her forehead. You're like how your whole face look glamorous but the top of your forehead looks wrinkled as fuck. I'm not fucking look at your neck.
Speaker 3:I see your neck, oh shit, okay, okay, that's rude, I'm sorry shout out to all the TikTokiktoks? I don't think we. I think des. You're the only one who's answered this we all answered the creative goals you set for this year yeah, everybody answered we did yeah no, no, I don't think kevin did.
Speaker 4:I did. I saw one I wanted. I wanted to make more videos trying to escape no, yeah, it's only been you two then what are you trying to do?
Speaker 3:Are you trying to pull a stud at McFly?
Speaker 1:I think my goal was one of them. Like be on the camera more and I You're going to have to teach me how to do green things and shits.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I got to get better, though those piss me off. They used to be clean.
Speaker 4:Do you make those? I don't want to plug no apps.
Speaker 1:No, they used to be clean. Do you paint those? I don't want to plug no apps. No, that's all on the phone.
Speaker 3:On the gram or not the gram, the tux, there's a green screen.
Speaker 4:I wouldn't do it outside the tux.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would do it too. I got a fucking green screen. It should be cleaner. But yeah, to get on the camera more, I didn't do as well as I wanted to. I feel like I got there, but it wasn't Because I don't want to do the cooking. The cooking feels like it's a cheater. That's what they say. You're cheating when you use cooking?
Speaker 1:Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. All those food reviews and I'm going to be honest with you, that shit sucks. I got to get dressed up as this nigga Cut food up, dressed up in big dishes, cooking with the Jerry Crow, just like nigga.
Speaker 3:Hot as shit, hot as shit. I think the thing that gets me about TikTok is the people that do the food reviews, and I couldn't do that on camera, just eat oh yeah, I could if I didn't have to act fake cause I be watching people.
Speaker 1:I'm like I was watching one guy.
Speaker 2:He's like good lord and I'm like man you don't be acting like that every time you eat a guy.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I just was watching.
Speaker 4:I'm like cause you cause you, when you be seeing me in restaurants, like out here in Vegas, I'm like that shit ain't that good. Yeah, like he gasping that shit.
Speaker 3:Oh my goodness there's one dude that does that. He always says god damn.
Speaker 2:I was like nigga, you haven't even tasted the food yet, you already said god damn.
Speaker 3:And you haven't even tasted like you just bit into it, motherfucker like, at least taste it before you say he light skin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, with the braids. No, not with the braids.
Speaker 3:What is it the braids? He's either Filipino or Mexican. Good Lord.
Speaker 2:Send me his page, because I just want to see Calm down.
Speaker 3:Wait, he always says God damn it.
Speaker 2:You starting to even bit the food yet, and I'm like, dude, you're acting like a motherfucker right now.
Speaker 1:There is one character that is my favorite. I don't know if I want to say his name, because he ain't nothing bad, but nah, fuck it, it's serving something. Serving Mike. Jesus Christ, that's my guy. I know that shit ain't fake.
Speaker 2:I think I could do the review on that. I've seen people say that the food was not good in places that they've gone the Try. I tell you his shit. Sometimes he'd be like this is good. He'd be like order this, don't order this.
Speaker 3:This was dry, this was over salted or you end up with a keith lee situation and he got moving sushi worms and fuck that.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, that happened to him well they got.
Speaker 1:I heard they got closed down. Yeah, they tried to try to act like well, this happens.
Speaker 3:They're like, and then health department's like no, somebody else got sick and in the hospital they're like that's nasty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I could do a food review. We should do a food review.
Speaker 4:I can't my thing about sushi is that you have to be within 50 miles of water for me to try your sushi. I don't eat sushi in Vegas that makes sense.
Speaker 2:It's not fresh enough. I mean they had to fly that shit in from somewhere. Your sushi. I don't eat sushi in Vegas. That makes sense. It's not fresh enough.
Speaker 4:I mean they had to fly that shit in from somewhere this nigga looked at him like that shit was on the back of a truck. It all is Okay, have you ever had sushi in San Pedro Listen.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 4:That was fresh.
Speaker 1:That day I was at a restaurant in Washington, Washington, Washington, Surrounded by so much water and I was like we got to get these crabs from out here. They're like no, we flew them in and I was like what?
Speaker 4:the fuck Crab and lobster is different. I'm talking about like fish.
Speaker 1:We used to go out and walk in the water and then throw out crab pots and then come back and then be full of crabs. They still froze those motherfuckers, and flew them up.
Speaker 3:All right, you didn't answer the question.
Speaker 2:You sure did.
Speaker 1:Yep, you tried to stutter the stutter.
Speaker 3:Right. I feel like the creative goals I set for my year I've somewhat I stuck to, so I felt like the process of writing I wrote a good amount this year was what I was going for and my goal and it's already worked. And again I say I do everything with a purpose and those sudden opportunities that popped up weren't by chance, it's because I made it that way. And I did it on purpose, that't I don't.
Speaker 4:this is a fake humble don't be humble, I know I'm nice, I know it.
Speaker 3:I just I put on whatever I need to put on for the show, but it's. I know I'm nice, I know I'm good, it's just I. Everything is done With a purpose and a plan and I intend to To Reach, have this podcast, reach a certain level and it's getting there.
Speaker 2:So that's my goal. Why do you have to be humble?
Speaker 3:I'm not. I'm not. I'm saying I do it, pop your shit, I pop my shit. I just do it in a different way. You root between the lines, you.
Speaker 2:I understand you, but still I'll pop up your shit out loud.
Speaker 3:Yeah, then I 2025,. Great, it's going to be great.
Speaker 4:Man. I said I was going to try to make gym videos.
Speaker 3:Studded McFly is going to be Studded McFit 2025.
Speaker 4:I said I was going to try that shit. It is so irritating to set up a tripod in the gym.
Speaker 3:Clothing yeah, we do. Clothing try that shit, it is so irritating instead of a tripod.
Speaker 4:in general clothing yeah we do clothing, clothing I'll make fit.
Speaker 1:I'll make fit, yeah, and then I'm gonna. I'm gonna come alongside and sell my ass sweat clothes, cause that's still. That's still the one, alright. Well, this has been another episode, that's still the one I ain't nobody doing this with him tomorrow? Get out of here, you nothing. I ain't nobody doing this with him tomorrow. Get out of here, that's it. Watch. When I buy it, I'm bringing everybody else, everybody get ass sweat.
Speaker 3:Alright, this is gonna be the last question.
Speaker 2:I think Stunning McFit will be tight though can I be shitting on my ass, sweat?
Speaker 3:how do you stay motivated and?
Speaker 2:inspired the way the whole sentence you just said, I'm gonna add I'm gonna do a two-parter on this one.
Speaker 3:How do you stay motivated and inspired, and what creative projects brought you the most joy?
Speaker 2:This year, for me this podcast has brought me the most joy. So thank you, stud and McFly and Kevin Wendell. I had to approve and thank you to Hunter, even though he ain't here with us no more, because he did bring me joy when he was. I couldn't be through all this shit. You what? I couldn't be through all this shit, but you didn't and you left me, and it ain't too late.
Speaker 2:It is too late. I'm here now. If you take me away, they're going to be like where is Des the Diva? Somebody want your spot? Anyway, Sit her next to me. You can sit her next to me.
Speaker 1:Hit different, hit different, hit different, you can sit her next to me. Hit different.
Speaker 2:I'm still going to be that bitch. I'm still Dez the Diva.
Speaker 4:I'm just playing, dez, I'm not going to. The only person that can take your spot is Dominique. She's my favorite. Oh God, I'm sorry, dez, dominique here.
Speaker 2:I'd move out the way for Dami. That's my baby.
Speaker 4:Kevin, your answer. Are you deep in thought?
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go to you. You know what I mean. Yeah, go to you. Go to you, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4:yeah, go to you, okay.
Speaker 3:Next question how do you stay motivated and inspired, and what creative projects brought you the most joy?
Speaker 4:um. For this year I would say the creative project probably brought me the most joy was when I redid the um, the intros and stuff. I like I did like the reaction Even though I didn't like them, but you guys still love them. I was like, oh, that's dope, damn.
Speaker 3:That's cute, okay, whatever.
Speaker 4:That's cute. So that did bring me joy Because I worked hard on that shit, especially trying to find shit that would match and then try to find shit that would match, and then and then, and then try to find shit that matched and then try to find transitions that went along the same um. You know, rpm, beat, rhythm as the music like it's not just find something and just put it together like no, I had. The shit has to flow it visually, it has to make sense of why things are changing at the time they're changing. Um. So that's probably the. What I was most proud of was the first part.
Speaker 3:Motivation. How do you stay motivated Inspired?
Speaker 4:money Nigga.
Speaker 3:I mean he's honest, get your chili up.
Speaker 4:Um, I'm just honestly, like I said, man, I'm just well it. I'm just like I said, man, I'm just well it is money. I'm just I'm trying to, you know, build these things to be something that can help me take care of my family.
Speaker 2:And so anytime I can do more for them, it's a motivation. I didn't share how I what kept me motivated.
Speaker 3:You didn't.
Speaker 2:It was my presence. Shit, what kept me motivated, did I didn't? It was my presence. She no, actually it was the numerous amount of women that wrote me when they started to see me on the podcast and told me how dope it was to see me up here. That kept me motivated, especially like girls. I know for a fact, didn't fucking like me but wrote but wrote me anyway and was like hey, I know we kind of I don't know bitch, but I like you up there.
Speaker 1:Did they say that I know we kind of I don't know bitch, but I like you up there did they say that I know, we kind of I don't know what kind of weird ass message I'd um I'd be in jail had they said yeah I don't know but I did have.
Speaker 2:I did have one girl write me and she said I know you and me had a lot of beef but to be honest, it's really cool to see you up there hamburger helper huh and they had already been like fans of you guys.
Speaker 2:They had already been like super into what you guys were producing and they just complimented me on coming in and being able to fit in well with you guys. And that felt good because I wanted the girls to see me. I wanted the girls to kind of be like, hey, that's kind of dope.
Speaker 4:I know the hoes going to love this, the hoes going to love this.
Speaker 1:I'm a whole other place. If you knew what was playing in my head it wouldn't make sense. I just can't keep getting, I can't get Eddie Cain out of my head. You are so ignorant. You are so ignorant, you are so ignorant.
Speaker 2:It's a heart in the house. You are so ignorant. Oh, and the episode with me and your wife. I got a lot of people that wrote me and were saying how inspired that that made them feel that felt good too.
Speaker 1:Thank you guys, we appreciate that she looked gorgeous.
Speaker 2:I got a lot of people telling me she was gorgeous. But you know what majority of the women were saying how cool it was for you guys to support me in that way. It because it really wasn't like a male topic, but you guys had my back on that, so that was pretty dope fuck we're supposed to do. Just let you sit here alone no, no, no nigga, but most niggas would not have had my back on that well, we ain't most niggas well, everybody knows that now.
Speaker 2:I knew, I knew that, but everybody else knows now sit um creatively.
Speaker 1:I think the thing I'm probably very proud of is this table. I didn't think I could do it. To be honest with you surfboard.
Speaker 3:I like this is. I call it the surfboard.
Speaker 2:It does look like a surfboard.
Speaker 1:That's the only way I knew how to cut it, so that's what happened.
Speaker 2:You cut the table like this.
Speaker 1:I looked at YouTube. I was like I think I could do that. I think I could do that I swear to God.
Speaker 2:I thought you got a board and it was already like this. I didn't know. You cut the table like this.
Speaker 4:That's so dope. It was nice bezel work here you did a good job.
Speaker 1:I'm actually quite proud of it.
Speaker 2:You should be, and the letters are symmetric. I don't know how the hell you did that, but the letters are all perfect.
Speaker 1:Oh no, that's a sticker. It's perfect. I didn't write that shit. I can't freehand nothing. Motivation I think my motivation is to to see it all through, like when I finally put it all together, because I do feel like I think I'm in a bit of a creative block not a bit, it's probably a years-long creative block because when I can create, I create pretty freely, and it's not been free so once I could break all the way out of that. I feel like I'm motivated to see what we all do together and what I can do individually as well.
Speaker 1:So we can bring that all and make some good gumbo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, some gumbo's all good. Yeah, I do, yeah, I do With a piece of red snapper on the side. I do that was I do With a piece of red snapper on the side I do.
Speaker 1:That was yes, use it.
Speaker 3:Mo, did you answer Did?
Speaker 4:you answer? I did, I did answer.
Speaker 2:And red snapper. I do, I want both.
Speaker 4:It's on you.
Speaker 2:I want to dip my snapper in the gumbo.
Speaker 3:So what keeps you motivated and inspired is the thought of a better situation overall, like being able to, to make money off of this is a big motivator, like, hey, if we can literally say one day you wake up and say I just got paid off of this, why not? Like I feel like that's that's, that's a very big possibility for us and we've done that. Yeah, but I'm talking about like to, where you're like nigga, you're getting split, but like I'm like nigga, like we just we can just do this. Like it's just paid. Yeah, um, and that inspires me to to want to keep trying to be creative.
Speaker 3:Um, and what I has brought me most joy is just seeing the evolution of what the podcast became in this year, because you've seen it throughout the years, but in this year you've seen it like a big growth and like I've had this talk with mo, I had this talk with co-workers. I said that it was beautiful to see now the chemistry of us four is very natural and, uh, it's, it's evident that that the chemistry works and it's great for me to see and that that brought me the most joy this year seeing the evolution of the chemistry and seeing that we play well off of each other. There's a lot of humor, there's a lot of heart, and once somebody eventually catches on to that, there's gonna be a lot of money too.
Speaker 1:So, um hey, but we ain't for sale like you I get bitches.
Speaker 2:Now I don't tell you, you have to partner or endorse something, but you ain't yeah that's between you and god, uh, but I'm a loyal married man with that being said, this has been episode 177 of the heavyweight Podcast.
