No, but no, for real talk though, man, I started this joint man out of a gym in Alabama, and I was fortunate enough to get some contracts with Auburn University. Made a whole bunch of money selling smoothies, about millions of dollars out of food trucks. What? You're gonna really come on here and tell a nigga like that. You've made millions selling juice. Selling juice. We're doing this shit wrong. I know. Look at me. I know. It's our last show. I know, right? We great. We got competition that shit. The juice brothers. Come on. The juice too, man. So was this something that you always been into? Like you grew up juicing, you know what I mean? What made you get into it? Honestly bro, I was growing up, I was a kid that go to the McDonald's and I hit the machine, tap all them things, try that joint, pull that junk out, tap two of them, pull it out, but I didn't really think that. You're gonna get banned doing that shit, man. We had a hug at McDonald's. It was all right. It was all right. But no, we did, I did that joint for a while, man, but like honestly, it was really an idea, man. My partner was doing it. So in college, I was the party guy. I threw all the parties. I made sure everybody was good. You know what I'm saying? And so my partner was like, bro, I spent, man, I spent $2,000 in the gym. I'm like, bro, how the hell you do that? He said, man, that's a dude in there got a smoothie bar, right? He sell smoothies, wrap, Sally said, I spent $40, $50 with Mary Day. I'm like, that's a good idea. You know what I'm saying? So it was a gym I worked out in and they was like, you know, I had a little spot that was available. They weren't doing nothing with it. So I went and hollered at them. I was like, bro, what y'all, you know, what y'all doing? And so from there, I was selling cars. And from there, three months I opened up. You know what I'm saying? So I had a dope idea I used to love the California Raisins. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, big man. Oh yeah. That was hard. That was hard. A lot of people don't remember what they used to do the California Raisins commercial, bro. I didn't eat raisins, man, but I used to love the California Raisins dog. I did because they was a black group. You know, it was a temptation. Yeah. I did. Soon as I said, I was going to start eating prunes, too. I went eating prunes. I did. I wasn't raising a California Raisin at one time. No, they kind of, they kind of like did like a knock-off version of its voice. Oh, okay. But then they had, the one that went popular was when they remixed the temptations. Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. And then all the raisins, but they kind of looked like roaches a little bit. Yeah. That was the only thing about it. It was blackface. Yeah. Okay. It was literally blackface. I got you. But it was dope though. It was dope. It was dope. It was dope as hell. So I wanted a modern day version of them boys, man. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, I didn't want to do nothing typical. And you know, all the smoothies, every smoothie company go to, it's tropical passion, man, you know what it is. I was like, man, I'm for the name. My job got the dances. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, because the white man was like, they was on Zoom before the pandemic. There's this guy, fucking Alabama. Some fucking strong black man. Smoothie Groovy. Smoothie Groovy. Exactly. Four bop, bop, bop. Out of here. This is the button. You do talk about it. Yeah. This is a goddamn button. Yeah, man. But all that just happened, man. But then I had the opportunity to bounce back. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I had a strong bounce back. I did a couple free events. I did a bunch of free events, bro. I moved down here. My count was terrible. It was dead. Like, my first event I did was with ET. And he had a little basketball camp, and I did it for free. You know what I'm saying? But from that event, I got booked on the Tyler Perry Studio. Because somebody that watched ET seen the event, they pulled us on. And then from there, we just hit the ground running. Yeah, man. I'm so fucking goofy. I think you be talking about the real ET. I'm like, damn. You done got plugged in with the aliens, nigga? Entertainment tonight. No, I'm tripping. I'm like, damn. This nigga went from losing everything to ET came back for this nigga. We heard about your juice on our planet, man. We want to give you a shot. We can holler at you. I know you're everywhere in your trucks and shit, man. What is it like when you see, like, when you pull up in the hood, or you pull up in, you know, a certain spot where it's us at, where we are, and then you see a hood nigga get his juice for the first time. I love it. He was like, boy, what the hell in there, boy? I love it, boy. Is she delicious? I love it, boy. With the beets. I ain't never had no beets. I love it, man. What up there? Is she good? That's the exact same thing. Is she good? That's what it is, boy. I can make this at the house. Yeah. When is it? You can grind up your weed. I used to eat shit that's got grease in it. That's all about weed, grunt. Give a nigga something fresh. He's like, my nigga taste buds ain't never worked right before. He's like, oh, you're going to activate this new shit, man. Man, I've been chasing nuggets my whole life. Nigga, what the fuck is this? Nigga been lying like, boy, you see you have my little heart. I ain't no more for the right man. You shit off me now, man. What the hell you doing? Oh, man. So like, has your experience been, have you grown more since you've been here than you felt because you said you had a bunch of success in Alabama. But since you've been in Atlanta, do you feel like you've been able to reach more people and, you know, get more out in regards to your business and brand? Well, you know, the thing is like in Atlanta, everything come from Atlanta. Pretty much everything started in Atlanta. And so being here, it allowed me to reach more people to have more influence. You know what I'm saying? So essentially it's the same thing. I'm playing the same game, but I'm able to reach more people with more influence that can put you on a bigger platform. Because everybody want to be in Atlanta, right? Everybody want to be a part of what's going on, what's hot, and now I can just set myself up right in front of them. And there's nobody that's doing what I do that look like me. You know what I'm saying? That's what I was about to ask you. Like, who have you got your juice to? Like, that somebody you're a fan of, like, and you seen me like, nigga, they drinking my shit. Like, who you had in a few of those moments was like, damn, you even fucking with the shit? 95 sauce. Come on, man. Oh, my God. You think I said that, though? You should have said that. I hit you, like, the first time, I had no, I had it. I was like, man, this shit is delicious and full. Like, that nigga said... No, the first time I had it, I drunk three of them hoes back to back. I was so scared I was going to shit on myself. Because there's a lot of fruit in there. You know what I'm saying? Oh, shit. Shit. I done had that shit. Yeah. At least it's a healthy shit. That fruit shit be the looser. You don't even know you got your foot on it. It should sound like Steve coming out of there. Shit, shit, shit. You don't even know you got your foot on it. Your hands just get hot. That fruit won't make your booty muscles work. And I tell you another time, just slide right out. When you came to the Wild N' Out set, you know what I mean? When you came to the Wild N' Out set, everybody was like, man, you know, because there was a couple people out there. But then once people got wind of them fruit smoothies, and we was walking around with them, and me and those of the first ones walking around with them, then we went in to do something, came back out there, the line was down.
