 Okay, it's like this. Who gonna bring it to the table? Boss talk, who your girlfriend favorite? Boss talk, we gonna do it how you want it. Boss talk, yeah, everybody on it. Boss talk, it's a unique hustle. Boss talk, yeah, we came from the struggle. Boss talk, say you looking for the best? Boss talk, we ain't worried about the rest. Boss talk, yeah. Tell me who's hot, who's not? Who really on top, who got they on shopping? Hustle don't stop, same old shit grinding. You know it, nothing changed one bit, it's a unique. Check it, check it, check it, it's a unique house. This is your boy, you see yo, with the lovely, amazing official, Miss Jamaica was going on. None of you know my dad walk on. Man, hold up, I done never been done it. You know what I'm saying? I gotta hear, she hear a man. You know, yeah, she's one of them people that, yeah, she can make your life exciting, or she can be a big surprise to you as well. Taylor B is in the building. Is it the shade room, man? Yeah. You got the reputation, the shade room. They told me, they said, man, you know your show on the shade room. I say, what? What the hell did we do? And then she said, I told her she could do it. It just came up to me. So I want to say, man, what's going on, man? Are we doing a good job over here, or does that mean you're doing good? Yeah, I mean, it was a clip that everybody wanted, you know. Everybody was sharing. And everybody wanted to know what happened, you know? And so I feel like we don't really see her speak out a lot. And so I feel like that was a good clip to share. Now, I want to go back because people need to know who this is. Yeah, we just skipped over some stuff, because they never met her yet. We did, but they didn't. Okay. Okay. So tell us a little bit about Taylor B. Growing up, were you from all of that shenanigans? Yeah, so I'm from Frisco. Well, I'm from Chicago originally. I grew up in Frisco, Texas. How long you been here compared to in Chicago? Yeah, I've been here way more long than I've been in Chicago. I was in Chicago when I was like eight. Okay. So, I mean, what? Go ahead. Siblings raised your mom and dad. I like to say, I don't have no siblings, so yeah. You're small. You're small. You're small as hell. That's hell. You ain't running around with an attitude for no reason. I need to get that. That is princess, get everything you want. I feel like it's like both parents, like pretty even. Really, yeah. It's not even at all. I can tell you that. Because you know how to use her head on both. That's what it is. No, no, dads never get, they just do. So she's saying it's even. That nigga on 130. Yeah, man. Yeah, daddy don't never get treated right. Fathers, they here, they come with that little tie or that little wallet or them little house. You don't keep all that. When I was younger, I like, we give him socks and stuff. But like, the older I got, I made, like I got him a gun case recently. That's hard. That's hard. You know what I mean? So yeah. That's better. Yeah, it's better than the socks. Yeah. But then, but you know what though? Fathers, they know how to come to daddy and ask for all the money and then go to mama for something else. No, you keep the money and everything at the house. I don't have nothing. But it's still come to you for the money. For the card. Ain't the money no more. You know what I'm saying? You niggas taking the card now. I take both of my parents' money. No, when I was younger, now I got my own money. All right. Yeah. Now you should be giving them money. I tried like, I just took my mom to her birthdays in a couple weeks. And about a couple of months ago, I took her to a Mary J. Blash concert. Oh wow. She was a huge fan and she had never seen them. And she always used to take me to concerts. So it felt good to be able to like. That's the best part. Take her and it felt good. Man, so growing up, I mean, was it a thing where you was able to fit in or did you feel ostracized in any way? Going to school, did you feel like it was easy just flowing through life or was there challenges? I would say high school was pretty like cool for me. I was on the cheer team. I was like, you know, I was pretty known. I too. Yeah, I was pretty active in like other clubs, choir, DACA, all that stuff. But I would say college was hard. College was an adjustment because it was an environment I wasn't used to. I was in Oklahoma. I wasn't used to Oklahoma. What was it about Oklahoma that was so different? It's like something weird. Like they make you get in the car with them when they pull you over. Like you got to get in the car with the police officer. Like it was just some like in the college I went to they had like an abortion like set up and like pictures of babies like that have been gone through abortion and like trying to get people to like be pro-life or pro-choice, you know, like they want you to sign a petition. Where did they have that at the college? In the middle of the lawn in like this, like where the studio union and the library and all that was like it was every year. Like, So you were Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State. Damn. Yeah. What year was that? I graduated in 2015. Damn. Yeah. I mean, it was a great school, but there was some stuff that was just like, yeah, I was ready to go. Did you experience racism over there? I would say I experienced microaggressions. Like I had like a Mercedes and I would get followed a lot and I would get pulled over. I had somebody, I had a- Even being a female, cause I know that police usually hard on men and profile men more than the ladies. I feel like they didn't know who was in the car. I think they might have just saw a black person in the car. And so, yeah, they pulled me over. They checked my car. I've had someone, it was actually here where he pulled up next to me and was like, hey, we got the same car. And I was like, yeah. And he was just like, okay. And he pulled off. White guy? Yeah. And I was just like, that's weird. Yeah, shout out to the white guy. Like he don't expect you to have that type of car. Yeah, it was weird. It was really weird. Don't you think there's something to this year, nigga? Cause she got something in store. I mean, right here. God for to drop this blessing. Next thing you, you got one of them, nigga, I'm flying up, I'm flying. I'm in a helicopter. Next thing, next thing he gonna pull up, be like, how you got one of those? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, the thing, I just gotta ask you this. Cause I don't wanna get back to the shape of them. I'm headed right on back there. You know what I'm saying? I've asked a few people about you. Is it a thing or how do you, how do you even know if you're gonna get on there? Just got to be an interesting topic. I think it just depends on the individual teams and depends on what they're looking for. I don't feel like there's like a one for sure way to get on the shade room unless you go through advertising. Who makes the calls? As in like, as into what goes on shade room? Yeah, it depends on the team. So like it depends on if it's the website team, the shade room team, the teams team. I'm over the teams, but like still my individual editors are able to like pick and choose what content. It's just, they've learned the audience enough to know what they like and don't like. How is your audience compared to the shade room? Cause I know the shade room, like my daughter, she's 17. And when we told her that, oh yeah, we were on shade room teams, she's like, I don't be watching that. But you're a teenager. I would think that that's where you would be. But she's on, she know everything that goes on the shade room, but not shade room teams. So what is the shade room compared to the shade room teams? I would say the biggest comparison to your point. It just skews a little bit younger. So like the teams is more of like the YouTubers, the influencers, celebrity kids, things like that. Where's- Like what age group? I would say like 18 to 24. That's a whole lot. Yeah. I guess my daughter just thinks she's older than what she really is. And some people, it just depends on what kind of content they into. There's some people that are younger that tend to maybe not watch the YouTubers and stuff like that. So, mm. I think you can't really scale it. I think it's some people that watch both of them. Yeah, that too. You see what I'm saying? So it's hard to really gauge it. Because shade room? Especially not on my daughter, because my daughter is different. My daughter, you see how I say that? She's a different type of person. Like yeah, you just never know. You want to get in there? She, I ain't gonna put a business out there. Boy, I could really blast you right now. Boy, I could tear you up, but I'm gonna let you make her. You're the home girl, be following us. I don't really know what's going on. But definitely, yeah, don't even be surprised at what she might do. So shade room, they mainly do celebrity stuff, right? I feel like it's a mix of content. If you look at the page, I mean, you will see roommates on there. You will see celebrities on there. I think it really just depends. Because that's what I'm trying to see. So do they ever post things that y'all would normally post sometimes? Or do you like not cross that barrier? We definitely cross promote. It depends on, like I said, it depends on who it is and what the content is. But my interview with Armand Warren, that was cross promoted on the main page. So yeah, it depends if it makes sense. I like it because I just feel like, you know, to be able to be a part of something. You know, that it has like a kind of incognito. You just don't know, you know, like you know. It's funny how you gay social media. You ever think about it? Like, who the hell run YouTube? A lot of people Google. You see, you don't really hear Google. So you gotta, okay, now which one I'm pushing the button? You know, I'm nosy. You know, I'm full school too. Yeah. I know it's a lot of different ones. Well, who run the Facebook? Meadow. And see, she know all this because she's a job. But I'm just telling you how normal dude do I hear thinking about it. It tick tock still in China. You know, I'm over here like that. You know, when you really like, it's not my job. But I'm just on that pushing buttons. Right. I'm not investigating. At some point, somebody calls, oh yeah, you got a team partner. I get it. But right now, I just like not knowing. It's a different place for people. It's not my job to know. I'm sure you probably if you Googled or YouTube. That's your thing. But search for a person who had gotten an interview who worked there, they probably spilled the beans and said, oh yeah, this is what goes on in the back end of Facebook and this and this. No, I don't think so. It had to be with somebody. Do you think they signed something to say that they can't talk about it? I just think in general, like people don't really get into the weeds that they company because like somebody, I mean, people be watching. So if you couldn't get into the weeds of what your company got going on and people might try to take you. Yeah, but it's one person. They had a wrong black person. Or just run to an employee, somebody they fired and they don't like them wrong. Oh my God, wrong Chinese guy. Oh my goodness. You know what I'm saying? He don't rent. You know what I'm saying? So what's the, what do you feel like the one of the, one of those defining moments since you've been with the showroom? Like something that sticks out to you that, that happened. That you can talk about. Of course, you know, y'all be so hushed. I would say when I had came to boss talk last time, I had told you, I think you asked me about like top three and I had told you, join the Lucas was in my top three. So I've met him. What? Yeah, he actually came to the Dallas show. He had got off stage and gave me a hug when during this concert, like he shows so much love and like that's like a surreal moment. Cause it's somebody that is, like I said, in my top three. So that, that means a lot to me, you know. Yeah. Well, I wish you hadn't said that cause I'm going to ask you top three again. Cause they bought the first top three. But that's all right. We're still asking. Yeah. No, you can still ask me. It's probably changed a little bit. So I know Lucas is your number one. I mean, I don't have an order, but he's definitely in top three. Okay, who else? Wayne. And I'm going to have to get a little of the Dallas right now. I'm going to have to give a little to my guy, Ty Harris. I'm not going to lie to you. Ty Harris? Yeah. Who is that? Oh, right. I don't know. I mean, I see a guy. Yeah. I think I know that guy. A little bit. I feel like. Ty, come on, man. Come on, man. Ty, come on, man. Come on up, baby. You know what I'm saying? Ty is here. He got his piano to tonight, y'all. He about to play a song. Are you playing a song? No, he did not know he was even going to be on here. He's just hanging out, man. But you can't come over here and not come on bars. Are you crazy? Push on, push on, push on. You've got to be. I tell him he's mine. What's going on? He knows he already know where he's coming from. Certain people can't. Oh, it's been something. I'd be like, just sit right back there until she get done. I do that. We like get fly. Well, I wanted to ask because since some of our viewers don't might not know, how did you get on to working with Shader Room? Yeah, so I was actually at TDJ's Ministries before I got to the Shader Room. And I had, went on LinkedIn and the job had been up for like three months that I was looking for. And it had like 300 applicants. And I was like, I told my recruiter, I was like, they probably already done with the process. I'm not even going to try. And she was just like. And was this your dream job? I would say in the social media realm, yeah. My end goal is to own a record label, but in the social media realm, yes. But. Are there any females who own a record label in? Well, there's only two record labels in Dallas right now. Right. And I don't think either one of them are females. I just want to go back to TDJ. You quit TDJ. I didn't quit. You know, this is my mind over here. So you quit TDJ, son, to go to the Shader Room. That doesn't say how does that sound, you know? I didn't quit. She just say, I'm going to jump right in, you know what? I gave TDJ's ministries four years of my, you know, dedication and helping build the platform and the team. And they showed nothing but love. And they still show love. I still can pull up and, you know, see the team and stuff like that and see what we've all like put together and created. So nothing but love, like I have nothing. I didn't quit. It was just like time for me to move on. So how long did it take for you to get on over there? You said 300 applicants. You didn't finish your story. Yeah, so I applied after my recruiter said if I didn't apply, she would. And about a week later, I got a call and when it comes up, it says the Shader Room. So I was like, this sounds like some spam. Yeah, I was like, this can't be real. And then, yeah, I would say it took about two weeks. It took about two weeks. And next thing you know, she is in the building. Over here quiet. I don't want to talk about anything just yet. But yeah, I got it. But we ain't gonna say that. I enjoyed you know, you can tell your spirit is right. That's what I go by energy. I appreciate that. You're a good person. I appreciate that. I knew that, you know, you was a woman who loved her man. I remember that. I do. Loved her man. Oh, he's just starting and we've been, yeah. We were talking about that part. You know what I'm saying? So we, hey, Ty Harris is in the building man. What's going on man? What you been up to man? I mean, I know you, yeah, you been with Snoop Dogg and all kinds of stuff since you left here. I seen you, nigga. You didn't think I seen you? Nah, nah, I know it's all fair. It's all fair. I see you too, nigga. Yeah, I see the plaques come in and everything. Yeah, they coming. They definitely coming. No man, I just been, you know, working and praying. That's all man. So just every chance I get, talk to the Lord, every chance I get, keep working. That's all I do. The Snoop Dogg thing was crazy. How did you even end up with Snoop and just do it? And how many shows did you do with him? Like y'all did a tour or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did a couple of legs. Oh, I can't even remember how many, but definitely a couple of legs. We did the Midwest leg, which was amazing. Shout out Sioux Falls, South Dakota. That was my first time ever being in front of, how many was it, 15, 18,000? I can't remember, but oh man, they showed me so much love. I got up there and I had my ears in for the first time. Really couldn't hear nobody. And I asked the crowd if they knew anything about food stamps, 10,000 plus white people scream to the top of their lungs when I asked them about food stamps. And I was like, it really changed my perspective on a lot of things because I thought black people was the only people on food stamps. And they scream to the top of their lungs and I said, oh shit, we in this together, I got dammit. They were amazing. Man, yeah, that was amazing. The whole Midwest leg was just amazing for me. Wow. For sure. I just, did Snoogie that, hey, what's up nephew? Y'all on God. No, man, that was crazy too. That was surreal in itself as well. That's up there with meeting Ice Cube. That's up there and I got to perform before them while I got to open up for both of them. That's crazy. Like all that, even Warren G, the whole West Coast, like it was amazing, bro. Man. It was amazing. So yeah, yeah, yeah, man, I didn't get to make the show, I didn't get no tickets or nothing. So, okay. Everybody was like, dang, when you gonna go, I said, well, he was on the show, that don't mean I get to go with him. Nobody ain't called me yet. I was waiting by the phone when I said. Nobody ain't called me, but I know I read, I said, baby, did anybody come? She said, nah, they didn't call her. Nah, nah, look, next time I got you. Because this time, the first time, it was hard to give my big brother in. I'm my blood big brother, I'm like, I am. I'm waiting, I'm saying, man, who's gonna buy the tickets? We just fly up there whenever he told us we can come on that night, you know, shout out to Bubba Dub, who always invited us to all the stuff and all these other niggas in last place. Come on, man. Come on, man. I'm just kidding. So, that's hard, man. So, E-40, he didn't have no pointings for you, you know, rocking out with Snoop. E-40 gave me too much game. Like, we was in the studio for a minute, like all night, one night. He gave me so much game on a lot of things, on everything, like. Did he know you was with Snoop on too? He didn't know, he didn't know. Really? I met 44, I met Snoop. I know, but I was thinking maybe you know, he might've seen that, you know, niggas making moves out there just in case you see this thing. Yeah, yeah, totally. Nah, E-40 definitely gives me a lot of game on a lot of things I ain't know nothing about. So, E-40 definitely gave me a lot of game. And one other person that don't know about it, give a lot of credit to, and homegrown in Dallas, is D'Rose, he gave me a lot of game as well. D'Rose, man, you wanna do it. You rock with him too? I forgot, yeah, y'all can do it. Yeah, that's how I got my stand. I can't believe y'all, y'all showed a new watch for show, cause him and Cash and all them. Yeah, Cash, too. They all partners. Yeah, definitely. The one just now, y'all, y'all so he, but he ducked off, he ducked off. He don't play that. No, the dude that he was talking about early. You know he don't even know Cash, you know he don't even know Cash. No, yeah, we both know Cash. Yeah, he know Cash. Yeah, I know Cash like motherfuckers. Yeah, that's the homie. For real? We talking about the same Cash. Yeah, he's Mike. Mike is Faith. Why did it just go off? You talked it out. I don't know, for some reason, every Mike, when I get in front of him, every podcast, he just do me like that. It's cause his voice so deep. Damn, he did that. You brought the whole back on. Yeah, you know, that's just it. We got to get that other Mike over, too. Man, you know, I just want to say, man, man, thank you guys, man. Cause you guys are, you and Dallas and, and we need all like the other guys to the content is so, you know, we, he said something earlier, gone to music when he was on here. Cause I said, man, what, how do you think the music doing in Dallas? He said, we just got to keep working and be consistent. And I agree with that. Cause when you look at it from that perspective, he's like, cause I'm like, where's this big hit at? But the consistency is going to pay off. And I agree with that. And people look at Dallas and when they see the music, you don't think we got a lot of big hits? I feel like having the right team matters though. You talking about within the last year? And last year? Okay. I see Dallas getting spoiled now. We're getting spoiled now. Because of that. No, that one time, I'm looking at the last, with me coming into this game, the biggest, the bigger hits, the, I mean, of course you got. Almost two years. So within the past three years. Yeah, but you had, you had outside. You had, you had, you had a, you had a big one. That's what I said, about 2022 to your point. That's on me, you know, so you, I get it now. Give me, you see what I'm saying? Okay, so. But then you got, you got. Those came out in what? 2021? Post Malone, them too though, but you can't count them. 2020, I was before that. You can't count that in here. I see where you trying to go. You try and take this back. I mean, we can really do it though. Britney Spears and what's a man, what's a man? We can do all that. We can do all that. I mean, you can't talk about cash page and I think we ain't got nothing brewing. She hold it. Oh man, she's rolling live. She hold it. Oh man, America, all kinds of. She can't go anywhere right now. She hold it. Come on, man. I can't lie, we got it, but do we embrace it? That's another thing. Do we really give it the credit and the support that it deserves? Dallas don't. But you see what I'm saying? Yeah. Oh, are you real? But now, you know, that's, I liked the way she came across and told the truth. See, the truth will set you free. It'll make you miserable at first, but it'll set you free. For sure. I feel like Dallas supports who they want to support sometimes. She from Chicago too, don't forget that. I'm going to rip the city all day. When she was eight. Yeah, all day. Megan Stallion, San Antonio. I don't know her. You know. I don't know her, I don't know where she from. According to, according to the call, I don't know where she from either. But it's, I don't know if I was talking one on one, baby. So, so when you, you, how did you two link up? So. Wait, you actually don't know the full story. I don't. I don't. How does he not know the full story? He knows how we. 50% of the story. Right. He knows how we linked like from a social media perspective, but like, well maybe we know two different stories. Okay, tell your story first. I interviewed Cash for TSR teams and I asked her, her favorite artist in Dallas and she had said Ty. My dog. And I had seen Ty, but like I hadn't really tapped into him for real for real. And so when I actually like tapped into his music and like I hit him up and told him like, I had like really messed like really liked his music and I wanted to get him on my podcast. And I feel like that's the, that's the part. I know. What part do you know? So I ain't know about that. You right. About to say. You ain't know about that. I didn't know about that. Shut our cash page. See his penis. See his penis. Dude, I ain't gonna lie. When you talk, I hear that song. It's a song when you be talking on it for a second. What's that? It's a song, man. Which one is that? I don't want to be no street nigga. It might. I wasn't talking on that one. That was somebody totally different. No, no, no. It might be the one with, it might be blood brothers. It's just a conversation that's all. One of them things. One of them things. Yeah. The boy got a nice voice, you know? It sounded like a smaller version of Big X to Plug, around this house. What's up? Big X to Plug, hard to. That's even boys and Dbz, oh yeah. He sit right there, just like, what's up, brother? You know, I thought about it. I'm like, what the hell, brother? My mother, their voices be so deep. They bringing back D-voice music right now. And I'm wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Now, shut our cash page, though, because that's one of the only people out there. She stays showing love. It's just be myself type shit. Like, cash person. She was just in town not too long ago. Yeah, with her home commander. I talked to her people, too. I was gonna get over it, but we had just come from out of town. We'd be so busy, bro. Hey, just to Plug, she gonna be back in town for a tour, so. When? February 1st. Okay, well, you gotta hook that up. I ain't even think I'm supposed to talk about it. She just posted it. Oh, okay, man. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, she's coming back. You know, I'm the secret D-boy. I'm not a secret D-boy. Oh, buddy, that's even to the, oh, I think it's right there, oh, yeah. I'm just chilling. I'm chilling, man, I don't know, so. Shut our cash page, though. So, how does the podcast work for you? I mean, how did you even get started podcasting? What's the name of it again? Give me that plug. Hey, yeah, it's the No Fuck Boys show. Ooh, what is that? I gotta check it out. Come up with that name. You know what? Like I said, I started it back in 2017, and so I was, I had got, just got in my relationship, and I realized, like, I was like, what can I call my podcast? Like we talk about relationships, and I realized, like, I dealt with a lot of fuckboys in my life, and I just felt like it was fitting. And so, we did the podcast for about two years, had great people come be him, and me. Shout out to Be Man. It's Lil' Be Man, KBZO came through, and just, you know, a whole bunch of, you know, Dallas just really, really showed love, but we didn't have that video component, which I felt like we really needed. It wasn't really set up like that. We did it on DFWRIRadio.com, and then, like, I got pregnant, and then my other host got pregnant, and then the other two wanted to focus on their careers, so we just stopped. It was just too much. It's contagious, you know, pregnancy is contagious. Yeah, no, seriously. It just got to a point where we were just like, we can't do this right now. And so, I actually had someone call me and was like, hey, somebody wants to, like, take your brand and do it themselves. I was like, hell no. Like, you know, this actually gave me the push that I needed to start this back up. I knew I wouldn't be able to do it with the original host, so I just, I found some new hosts, and shout out to TraGy, shout out to Jay, shout out to Thomas and our boy Juice. They've been really... So there's five of them? It's four hosts, and then Juice is our photographer. Oh, okay. Yeah, so we've been, it's more like a talk show now, though, really, because the way it's set up, it's not really, like, relaxed like this. It's, I mean, it's relaxed, but like... Damn, we relaxed, ain't we? Yeah, like, up and down. I was like, it's relaxed, it's chill, but it's also like... None of that, babe. It's produced. You know, I'm like, really, like, it looks like a morning show. And, like, the chairs set up and, like, you know, stuff like that. Y'all ain't that professional, it's hell. Yeah. They did, and that whole, we called for you, and... Yeah. So who came up with that idea of switching it up like that? So we just, we had a plug of someone who knew of a space to check out, and we just checked it out, and I was like, they were like, well, it's not as, you know, chill as you wanted it. And I was like, but that's the goal, is to do something like a talk show. So let's do it. So that's what we did, and we wanted to see if it worked and it vibed, and we were still able to be ourselves and not be stuffy, and Chai's been on the show here. No podcast. Man, that's super dope. You know what I mean? Got a TV, say, we got over here. See how you gon' be... Y'all over here, y'all over S-L-I-N, gunna know, y'all, y'all, y'all, the bougie hood. You know what I'm saying? It's two sides to every hood. It's messing up again, ain't it? A bowser. I don't, I can't hear it. Sounds good. Now it comes back, it only happens to me. No, it's back on. It's wild, man. It only happens to me. That's all right, it gon' be gone tomorrow. I'm gonna just keep my mouth shut. No, it's running though, it's running up. They gonna run it up. So you said you wanted to do a label. Are you taking steps to start that label? So right now, I'm going back into PR. So I have some clients that I am about to start representing, building those relationships. I feel like that's first and key to me doing the next steps. And then yeah, right now I just wanna build my contact list and build my relationships and kinda see what goes from there. But you know, LLC and all that, I got it, but it's just waiting on. Are you one of those that do vision boards and say, okay, by 2024, I'm gonna have this and da-da-da-da? I feel like I'm my vision board. Okay. I feel like, well, I just think of it in my head and I'm like, I'm gonna do that. Okay. Yeah. I've done vision boards, like, it's not something that is fun for me. Yeah. It's what, but some people make it look so good when they show it. They make it look so good. It looks so good. But when you try to do it, you like, why is it? It's not for everyone. It's not for me. Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. You know, I'm like a freestyle, I'm off the dome. I do what I do. Yeah, that's what I say. Yeah, I just go for it. When I think of it, I go for it. And I'm good at it too. Yeah. I don't know if I'm really to y'all, but to me, I'm good at it. That's where you gotta feel me. Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, so I mean, what do you think, you know, Shave Room got that thing going, but I mean, I go to the internet, that's where I'm gonna get all my information. What am I getting when I go to the teams? What am I getting? Like I said, it's just the daily updates on like celebrity news, YouTubers, influencers. It skews younger because it is the teams. I would say Gen Z-centric content. Yeah. Do they jump in your inbox when they say, man, why you post that? Anybody ever jump in? You all ignore them, don't you? I never ran into it. I never ran into it. Y'all don't get crazy comments or crazy inboxes. I mean, I haven't seen anything super, super crazy. I mean, like for the most part, I find people to be pretty cool, honestly. And then even the people that DM me personally, like I haven't had any crazy situations. That's hard. So what do you, how long do you plan on, where you taking this to? You just gonna just keep growing your brand until you just blow everything up out the wall. I just, I just want to like, I just want to focus on my podcast. I want to build my clientele for PR. For sure. It's working. Oh, you will mess it up. You feel so. And I have a, yeah, he be telling me I need to pop my shit. But, and my 30th is coming up. Okay. So, I'm trying to throw a benefit concert for mental health, have some people pull up. We got a headliner right here that's gonna pull up. And I've been working with the nonprofit to try to create a program for college women, black women in college. So that in PWIs and HBCUs, so that when they go through a mental health crisis, they are set up with the right tools instead of, like, I don't feel like they're all, yeah. Cause how bad is mental illness? Because even like, you know, everybody's seeing it on the news right now about Twitch, Rest in Peace, you know, cause on social media and everything, he look like he's happy, everything is fine, whatever he got his wife, everything is great. And then to leave his house, took off walking, go to a hotel and then kill yourself? Yeah. Like, I don't know what he was struggling with, you know what I mean? Like I feel like sometimes your mind, no matter how much good your life is going and how good people see your life going, sometimes your mind takes you to some dark places and you can't get out of that. And so I feel like people just need to check on their people. People need to make sure they tapped in with their people because if you don't feel like you got an outlet and you don't feel like it's just all on you and the weight is all on you, like you might feel like that's the only way out. I hate that it happened right before Christmas. You know what I mean? I hate that his kids have to have that memory of Christmas with him. It's really sad. Even his wife having to explain that to their kids, I have a three-year-old like I couldn't even imagine. You know what I mean? So just prayers because it's, people are surprised about Twitch, but there's probably so many of their favorite celebrities dealing with that same thing right now. But the thing is that, okay, cause I know people who've dealt with depression and still even maybe going through it. And what I know about people is that no matter if you check on them, people don't let you in all the time. It could be your best friend. It could be somebody who you always talk to. Some people when you're depressed, you want to be left alone. You're not going to answer your phone even if you're not going to the door. You just want to be, and even if you do enter the door, you're not going to tell them what's going on if you don't want to. You understand what I mean? I had somebody that, it was similar to that. Like they didn't want to be bothered. They didn't want to text. They didn't want, we just like left stuff at their door. Like we still thinking about you. You know what I mean? Like sometimes it just take that, like you eat, I mean, sometimes you got to go that extra step, but I would rather say I did everything in my power to be there for you than to come to your funeral. So I mean, sometimes you got to go that extra step. Sometimes like, you know, a phone call in a text is not enough. Sometimes you got to pull up. Sometimes you got to pull up multiple times because sometimes people just, they don't see that people there for them. And they're like, oh, it's just a text. It's just, you know, it's just a phone call, but like sometimes you got to be in their face. And also the pandemic took people to some dark places. That isolation was no joke for some people. And I'm going to always put God in it because for the main fact that, and I'm going off of this awful, people that I've dealt with. And no matter how much you give advice and you try to talk to people because you know that they're going through something cause you know that's not them, the regular them of how they normally are. And you give them the spiritual, you give them the real, you give them everything. And when you care about somebody, you want them to just snap out of it. You want them to come right back. But you have to realize that everything works in God's time. So you can't get stressed and depressed yourself over somebody else not doing what they, cause it can bring the other person into depression as well, because especially when you love somebody and imagine his wife, this is not just a random thing that just happened. I guarantee you he's been going through depression and going through different things. And she might could not have reached him, you know? And her self could be going through something because of him, you know what I mean? We don't know what people go through. And when you love somebody, it hurts you to see them going through certain things and it can bring you down as well. But I always tell people, just say what you need to say and do what you need to do for that person. When it's time for them to snap out of it, if they ever snap out of it, they're gonna remember your words. They're gonna remember, yeah. You know what I mean? You just really don't know what their business was. Exactly. You don't know. What they going through. You don't know what the heck that family was going through. You don't know what him and her were going through. Right. You don't know, we just talking because you don't know what goes on inside somebody's but they know. Yeah. I'm being real. It ain't like he just all of a sudden, the day just walked out. I think things are, it's a calculator. I mean, you think he could hide it from her and the kids? All I'm saying is we don't know. Is it a possibility? You know what I'm saying? We don't know. I think black men, sometimes a lot of weight is put on their shoulders, you know what I mean? It's a possibility. So they feel like, what? You look on his face, that's why you laugh. Black men. Yeah. I mean, I can tell you about black men. I don't need you to explain. No, no, no, no. Wait a minute. No, I'm in the sense of like. What's up, step up baby. No. No, I just mean in the sense of like. I'm just noticing what you're saying. I feel like sometimes we expect our black men to be invincible. We expect them to do so much. And I'm not saying there's nothing on black women too. That's a whole other conversation but since we're talking about Twitch, I feel like, and again, I don't know his situation but I do feel like we kind of, we don't really listen when they might be asking for help because it doesn't, they might not say help. And I think that stems from men feel like I got to be a man. Right. I got to be the shoulder you cry on. I shouldn't be crying on your shoulder. You know, type of thing. I shouldn't be opening up and saying, I'm talking about feelings. They're laughing because. Go ahead and say what you need to say. Your mic out again. That's what I'm saying. It happens in God's time. You want me to just shut up? I'm just keeping my mouth shut. No, it's all good. Y'all tell us about how to. Put your mic down. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But that's why we laugh. Cause that's usually what happens. No, but they, y'all coming from, am I on? Yeah, you on. Y'all coming from the perspective of watching. So it's the outside end, the exterior looking in. So you know, I don't think, I don't think y'all, I don't think we, we're not going to let y'all in. I don't think so. Some of us might. I don't think so either. No, I'm not for real. But then if you don't, it can go to the point where. Damn, if we don't. No, but if you don't, I understand where you say damn if you do, because then women, some women will take it and use it against you. Not all, but some women do use it against you. But, but if you don't, it can happen where all of that build up and you feel like everything you have to carry on your own and it can lead to something like what just happened to him. Okay. So let me say this, let me ask this. If you are witnessing a black man going through something stressful, this is gone. I'm gonna use the A word real quick and I'm not talking directly to you. I'm talking to everybody out there in YouTube laying watching this. What A word? The A word is accountability. Oh man, I thought you was going to say ass. I know. See, that's the problem right there. Mind set. So if you, I'm just, this is the one a black man talking. It's whatever. See, I hate to do it to you, but I'm gonna do it. You're not asking me, you're not asking me. Amen. You're not asking me. So if you're witnessing a black man going through some stressful shit, some depression, some kind of mental illness, some, some, he can't get over. Do you look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, am I a problem? Is there anything that I can do to help? Or why he going through it? Are you one of the people that says, snap out of it. You're acting weak. You're sassy. I've been here. I've been seeing these words a lot and on. See, I'm a mental health nigga. I'm a mental health advocate. I go to churches all the time. I talk about it all the time. So, you know, I see the repetition thing amongst our people, especially our people, when it comes to the mental health thing. And honestly, lately I just been quiet because I'd rather listen than just talk about shit. This is the first time I've talked about it in a while. And I see a lot of the, when a man has something to say, it's not taking the right way or it's taking the wrong way or it's not even taking serious. And, you know, personally, I see a lot of people close to me go through it, come home and you know that black man, he gonna stay in the car after work for about 30 minutes or he gonna stay on that toilet for about 45 minutes. What you doing in there? You texting the mother, bitches? No. I'm really trying to get my head right to come back to reality and deal with this shit. Not saying that you are a problem because I know a lot of women that are black queens gonna take what I'm saying like, well, fuck it then. I ain't gonna even be with you. And then that ends up being a whole another deal. So it's more about, I think, being considerate of everyone's feelings. And even though as black men we wanna put on this shit, like you ain't got no feelings nigga, but we all do. That's just human nature. And you know, from a woman, like I can't talk from anybody else's perspective, I can only speak from mine. So whenever a man is going through it or you see them going through it, especially if you didn't just have an argument and you know that the explanation is why he looked like that is because y'all just got into it. But he looks stressed or whatever and you say, you know, what's wrong? But some men won't tell you what's wrong because they feel like I'll deal with it. It's on me, I'll figure it out. Instead of opening up and saying something as simple as work got me stressed or, you know, somebody just pissed me off or, you know, whatever. And be like, okay, at least I know it's not me, but what can I do to make you happy? You know, take your mind off of it, whatever. Most men don't tell you. What you got? Do you have something you need to say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not really. Not really. I'm not even gonna go there with y'all. I'm gonna let y'all keep on, you know, living. I mean, I think you don't resolve what mental illness do, but it's really just, it's just problems. It's lifestyles, come on, man. We've changed and fancied it up to word and we think we got a somewhere, but it's really just life, man. So I think people, I'm not gonna go there with y'all because I know already that if you leave in our God and you're not praying with your family and coming home and being a man and talking to your family about God and talking to your family about their experience throughout the day, you just playing yourself because you already gonna keep running the roadblocks. So I'm not gonna even go there with y'all most of the time, when you do try to do right and you do the right thing and a lot of times that looks boring. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. People be more excited, man. Me and her married for 20 years. You know what I'm saying? You gotta switch it up. You gotta figure out ways to keep it exciting, keep it going and just being a man that love God sometimes ain't enough. I'm being real. Yeah. That's some real. Well, that's hard right there. But I also wonder why. It's hard, yeah. Man, that's hard, man. I'm the bar, yeah. But do you think a lot of these will be solved with black men? Like if they don't want to talk to their wives and they don't want to talk to their homeboys or whatever, like a lot of them still don't want to talk to a therapist either. Yeah, a therapist slept on. Well, you can talk to your, who's a therapist first of all? I mean like a licensed counselor and therapist. I've never talked to a licensed counselor. Right, that's what I'm saying. I don't need one. I ain't got no problems like that. You say that, but once you talk to them you might realize you got some stuff that you want to talk about. I talk to God. I'm gonna be real with you. God too. I don't go by that. I don't feel like they gotta be mutually exclusive. You can do both. I feel like for me, I can dump with God and prayer and I have a relationship that I don't think a counselor could even, God is my counselor. And there's been things where, I've been through a lot. So it's a difference for me where I know what he did for me. And if you don't even know what you said they're looking at, you know what I'm saying? So I don't think no, I don't think no man could have done it. I feel like you need both though. That's your feeling. Right. No, I'm just saying that. Because everybody's different for different folks. Every individual is different. So I don't never, first of all, I always tell people even the worst of God, what they stand to, however you worship, whatever you do, that's your business. Everybody's different. So when you, and what we do is a lot of time we put things in a box. So if we think if it works this way for one, it works this way for all, it's not like that. That's true. So I really don't, I don't never tell nobody what to do. Yeah, well for everybody out there in YouTube land, it's a few things. I know for me, and this is a thing, I guess when you talking to God, I like to document all my shit. That's real. That's why I rap. Our documentation for me when it comes down, I jot all that shit down, put it in a song or something. There's like, you say therapy, somebody need to work out, somebody need to go a worse route. I used to go the worst route and I just get some pussy and be done with it. Yeah. And you know, I just put all my problems in that pussy. That's awesome thing? I think it, like I said, I think it depends. It just takes out the frustration for that moment and then come back to reality. I think it's all camera waves. It's all camera waves. It's like, everybody's different. Even counseling, some people that I spoke to who have went to counseling didn't work out good for. And I've asked them, I said, what do you get out of counseling? Do they give you like practices, feedback, you know, exercise or whatever? Some people, they get that. But some people say, it's just somebody to talk to. Like it's without being a friend. It's just knowing that this person legally cannot go and tell my business compared to you telling to a friend, they might go social media, tell your business, do this, do that, whatever. Go into a therapist. They just go to the dump everything and how they feel. It was a little girl over here, that girl that was on here said that she kept talking, really living the same thing over and over again without their license therapist. You know what I'm saying? But I would say therapy is like finding the therapist like dating because like no, no reason I'm being for real because like sometimes that therapist don't work for you. And like, I found therapists that did not work for me and they did not give me what I needed. And I had to find a therapist that worked. So sometimes you got to I'm not saying you have to go to therapist, but if you're looking for a therapist, that first person might not work out. I've tried a therapist before. And? Let's go see it. Um, you really want to go there? Yeah, and? I did bring that out of my mouth. I fucked up. I fucked up. You got me, I'll tell you. I went to a CBT doctor, the cognitive behavioral therapy. Okay. Okay. Um, and I was on two mood stabilizers. I was on Syracuse and Selexa, the thing they be saying Kanye on. I was on that. A Lexa pro con stuff. And I went for about a month and I thought everything was cool. It was good. Everything was good. But I realized I stopped making music. And another thing that happened that upset me. I met this girl that I really enjoyed fucking with. And boom, when it was time to get when it was time to go there, it was time to when the lightning struck and the thunder clapped. I'm like, yeah, it's time to handle my business, right? Girl, I really enjoyed fucking with too. Dig didn't get hard. No, because it doesn't matter to me. I went back to my CBT doctor. I told him what happened. He said, well, that's the part of the, the, the medication. And at that moment, I knew. You weren't comfortable. I wouldn't feel to be on that motherfucking medication. And that man told me that I was a, I was a sex addict. And right now, fuck you too. I ain't, I ain't going to care for my niggas. So that was just it. I just been documenting my feelings. I was just put this in the music. I ain't even gonna go through that shit no more. That works for you. No, for sure. So. We're going to talk about that a little bit more later. It's all good. It's all good. Like if I went through it and somebody else going through it and they feel like this is not the right because it's niggas out here killing theyself. It's women out here killing theyself. They don't know what, you know, and I understand the mental health thing. Like I understand and maybe if I, even if I don't understand and I still want to be in a fight, you know what I'm saying? Because I have some, I have some classmates that lost their life to suicide. Yeah. I have some, some friends, some rapper homies. Yeah. All kinds of shit that lose theyself to just stay on mind and I think that shit is crazy. Just like they say, when you're down, the only way you can come after being down is up. It has to come back up. It might take a year, might take two years. Nobody knows how long, but you got to come back up. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like I said, it's something that everybody faces, even. Everybody. Everybody. People been killing. They said, since before y'all was born, bro, I've been seeing this, man. Facts. And they like, we fancy it up, but I'm telling you, through living, I have seen this with my people, my cousins, when I was just a kid. Yeah. Well, they didn't go to counseling. But some of them did. Yeah. Yeah. It happens. It's just you have to. I'm not saying that counseling is a fix. Like a fix it. Like, you know what I mean? No, I just say that you just got it, man. You better be putting God on your table. I'm telling you right now. Out of curiosity, which I don't know if anybody knows the answer to this. But how many people who have actually committed suicide actually was going to counseling? I don't know. You know what I mean? Who was actually getting help. Man, I think it's life, man. I feel like I know a few. I ain't going to tell you business, but I know a few for so. Oh, so they have been. So they went to counseling. I know a few of them. And they still. OK, that's just a part of man. Life is something else. It does. It hands you and you just got to go with it. I'm telling you, like it is what it is. It gets heavy. Your mind is where the problem starts. OK. If you really want to be real, it starts with the mind. You know, everything starts. You start thinking things up. You start creating images. I woke up the other night and what I tell you, I said, oh, my God, you know, like you did this stuff. Satan starts with the mind. I'm just going to be right. I don't want to go there with y'all. But I'm telling you, when you start making it something else, then you can do that on your own. I just know the battle is very spiritual. And you better be ready to fight. But you have to just recognize it. You have to recognize that who's messing with your mind. But you won't ever do that if you're trying to figure it out through all these different avenues. But that's for me. I can't say what's for everybody else. That's the whole game. Everybody want to put their situation on somebody else. And I think that's weird, man. Everybody's different. Everybody. You come up in these homes, your mama's spaw you. You don't have your daddy. Your daddy pass away. All this stuff is going on. And we saying, you need to do this. Come on. I was talking about that. You ain't got the answers. But I was talking about that. But we were talking about that earlier. I was talking about that earlier, how people go through traumatic situations in their life, whether, say, music deal. Oh, I was the one who should have gotten that deal. But he stole that from me. And he got the deal and he big now, whatever. And all of a sudden, now you carrying all of that hate and frustration and stuff like that. That it's like, it's like, you can't, you don't know how to move on, right? You know what I mean? You don't know how to function. You haven't been able to, I'm like, if, if. And to me, I'm just talking about that situation, but you can relate that situation to anything. Yeah. And it can be, I feel like everybody gets hold, though. Like, I feel like everybody has something. And I feel like in those situations when it's like business, sometimes you got to eat that shit and keep going because you don't even know what you don't even know if you weren't even supposed to be in that situation. Like, sometimes stuff happened because God trying to remove you from that situation completely and you need a wake up call. Right. And don't blame other peoples for your downfall. Turn around and, and come back up. If you did it once before, you can do it again. You understand what I mean? That's how I look at everything. Yeah. Well, that's how I look at everything right here. Yeah. That's how I'm going to be looking at everything from now on too. You know, I think a lot of time we have changed the way that life itself, that was some rules given. And I think a lot of times the rules have been broken. I just put it like that. And when the rules get broken, people start changing the way things are. And then they wonder what's going wrong. Why you don't want to go there? I can take it. I feel like you want to go there, but you're trying not to go there. I know I want you to go there. But I'm not going to do that. Because we, it ain't going to be enough time. But I'm just telling you, there's a lot going on with people changing things. Yeah. To make it the way, yeah. It's the way you want it. Spiritual warfare. Do it the way you want to do it. And yeah, I'm going to let you ride with that. But over here, we're going to do it this way. If you want to ride with me, get in the car. Close the door behind you. Put your seatbelt on. Thanks. Real talk. That's cold. So check it, man. Hey, man, thank you for coming on the show. You said I shut that hole down.
