Stay with the group man Oh man No it was crazy No, but what's crazy is my publisher reached out to me a few months ago. He was like, I want to do a new, I want to do a read, a release, because my stuff is sold out at Barnes and I go target everywhere, right? So he was like, but I'm like, man, am I ready to talk about this new discovery yet? Right. You know, so I'm working on that. You know, I got to talk to the family and you know, I got to, you know, I got to figure out some things first on that side. Did you have to go through therapy for all of that? I'm in therapy right now, twice a week. No shame. Does that help? What? It's amazing. Do you know how black people do not like therapy? Do you lay on the couch? No, no, no. We don't know. We don't zoom. We be on zoom. Okay. And he go in, bro. Like, and we do real work. Like he can put up videos and like you'll watch like, you know, 10 minute videos on like mindfulness or, you know, of like there's a story that I just watched on my last therapy session that I can share. And it was talking about this old Native American woman talking to her granddaughter about these two wolves that live in her mind are living her, right? One wolf is this, this, this, this bad wolf and one wolf is this good wolf, right? Yeah. And are, you know, lying or lying. Yeah. You can use whatever, you can use whatever. Tiger or tiger, right? Bag, tiger, good tiger. She was like, so, okay, if they both live, which one do I feed? Which one's bigger? Which one's bigger? Which one's stronger? Dominating. She was like, and the grandmother says, which other one you feed? So that means, what does that mean? If you're going to feel negative, are you going to feed into the negative? Because, you know, are you going to feed that beast? Are you going to feed the positive? And so, and it's like, what are we doing? You know, we have to start understanding how to feed our positivity and their, and therein lies. And it starts with the thinking, right? Like, I'm, I'm over, I'm a Virgo man, September 19th to the core, Virgo, over thing, I'll have, I'm running 98. Like that. You know the meme with the thing in front of them? That's me all day. Yeah. All day. I'm like trying to calculate the algorithms. Do you sleep? You find it hard to go to sleep, don't you? Hell yeah. Because my brain don't shut up, but mindfulness, right? It's like, what mindfulness is, is you actually taking a moment sitting, sitting, just sitting and, and just like holding your hands on your, on your, on your, on your thigh. I like your, not your meditation. No, no, it's not. Listen, because people don't know how to meditate. I can't teach you how to meditate. Okay. I'm going to teach, but I can teach you how to literally start here, you know, breathing, right? Eight breaths in, eight seconds in, eight seconds out. And then you start to think about your hands and like creating power in your hands. Now you're only thinking about your hands. You're not thinking about anything else. And then this is a thing called body scanning. Okay. So you're scanning your body. You are. Nobody's scanning it. You are not a machine. You are. So you start from your toes, now you're thinking about your toes and working your way up through your calves all the way to your knees, through your thighs, to your torso. Boom. And that, you're not thinking about anything else other than you. Wow. That, that, that, that's a story. Because I see a lot of people do it when I'm on social media. I see a lot of people do that. But I don't know what they're thinking about. No, it's not. You're not, you're not praying to nobody. No. You're not doing nothing. It's not some like super complicated algorithm. Right. It's literally you checking in. With your body. With you. Yeah. That makes sense. Period. Yeah, because people don't take the time to check in with themselves. No, they be like, we move it. We move it. We move it. We move it too fast. I was trying to practice like Gundy, not talking for two days. I can't do it. No, man. People be like, I'm going to check in with you, man. I broke up. I broke up. I broke up. I broke up. I broke up. I broke up. I broke up. And we were like, do you still dance? I used to be like, nah, but I beat dancing. I be dancing. I be dancing. I be dancing. I be dancing! You can, man. I be dancing. I be dancing hard. I be dancing like a mom. Listen, man, let me say something. Man, this movie come on at my house periodically. My kids, you know, I'm like, I'm tired of the dang movie. Man, this is fun. Man, this is fun. Man, this is fun. Hey, hey, hey, bruh, some kinda, something hit me a couple of weeks now about two months ago, I was sitting in my living room and the spirit of Joe Jackson came into He said, get your ass up, boy. You can't miss a step. I start rehearsing, I'm in my little room. Boom! Mega-not-messin' nigga, I just gotta be burping in the glass. Wait a minute. I wanna ask you about that movie. Remember this movie for a second? Now that you brought the dancing up, The Stump of the Yard? Just, how did you prepare for those parts? Do you just naturally dance? No man, this is what I talk to when I talk to all these young people that wanna be in this business, man. You know, it's titled Preparation Meeting Your Destination. So what do I mean by that? When I was 17, I went to Performing Arts High School. I was a musical theater major. I was training, I was doing real work as an actor. Yeah, I mean, from before that. And I'm talking about not working in the business, but training, because it's Michael Gladwell, Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote Outliers. He said, it takes 10,000 hours to be a master of your craft. 10,000 hours, you break that down. That's 10 years, right? So you gotta work for 10 years so you can be a master. Yeah, I mean, you gotta be grinding for 10 years to be a master or something, a master blacksmith. You know what I mean, a master illustrator. You know what I mean, whatever you wanna do. And so, boom, then I went from high school, I went to do Stump, this Broadway show, Stump. Well, we had to learn how to use our bodies. I mean, I had to use my body and animated objects to make music, right? So then, boom, then I came off the Stump and I started choreographing for Britney. So now I'm a choreographer, all this stuff, and then I got the opportunity. And you loved it all this time, all the time. Everything, all of those things. Acting, Stump, Britney, Stump the Yard. My preparation. Led you up to that. Wow. Dope. And it was easy. And it was easy. Easy. Easy breezy. It did an amazing job. Man, my kids love it, man. Everybody did an amazing job in that movie. Did you know Chris Brown before that? No, no, but you know, we, right before it, because there was no way they were gonna give me the movie. So I had to, it was a lot of, like Nia was my guy, Megan is my, I grew up with Megan. You grew up with Megan. Grew up, grew up, grew up. That's like sis, sis. Okay. So y'all had to do two shots of tequila to even kiss her, cause we grew up like, we grew up like for real, like family. For real. Everybody would be like, ay, ay, I wasn't gonna kiss a mic in good, bro. I was like, bro, that's my family, for real. So it was weird, but we did it. And but, you know, everyone came around and supported me in that move. And I was forever grateful for it. Yeah, you did a great job. And it was really like, I didn't get a chance to go to college, bro. You feel me? And living, doing the movie. Gave me a college experience. Y'all mean, and a real like, Theta Nu Theta, I take serious. Did you really want to, did you want to go to college? I did, I was, I was accepted to Juilliard. Okay. Boston Conservatory, NYU, and Berkeley School of Music. Wow. And Berkeley School of Music was where I was gonna go. So what happened when you didn't go? I had to get out of my house, man. It was going too much going on at the crib. And I was like, I had to go. And back then you still had a temporary then? No, he had nothing to do with me. Oh, okay. I was a kid. I was a kid, I was 17. Had nothing to do with my life. So when you left, where did you go? To Stomp. Oh. Yeah. I left. I think I went on tour. But God, okay. I was something else, man, because God, like I said, the way you explained it is just hit, man, like everything lined out because, you know, the steps of a good man are about along anyway. The man already was walking in purpose. And we think we're doing something a lot of times and we just need- They ain't doing nothing. Exactly. I say that all the time. Right. Like it's like, man, we just need to just have faith, right? Well, what is faith? Faith without, well, faith without what? Works? It works, yeah. Okay. I just wanted to know. Yeah. But what is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So we have to walk blindly, right? Correct. Sometimes you gotta leap into the proverbial void. Wow. You can't say you want something. You want something, but you're scared to go get it. Scared to give up something for it. Like you got it, you got it, you got it. Y'all hear that? You can't just say you want something. You gotta give up something for it. Sacrifice. I've done it. Yeah, we've done it. We've done it. You have to do it. You have to do it. In order to grow. Absolutely. And so I was looking at something where I seen you on an interview with Mike Tyson. Oh, yeah. And I was like, dude, and you really, you know, should pay it homage. You know, you respect him, man. How did you link with him? And how did y'all deal with the relationship? Mike is my, when I say that's big, Brad, who would have thought in a million years, man? Man, it's so sad to be so, so I wrote, I created a meta-vander Holyfield. And, you know, we was talking to, I was talking to, I had lunch with a vendor in LA. And every time, every story a vendor told me had Mike in it. And I'm like, man, why you keep talking, like this man talking about, man, he has something on his chest. No. He ain't never got over the ear thing, man. Like, man, he didn't, he didn't respect me, man. He disrespected my game, man. Like, I was supposed to do that that night. Like, he really stole this moment, really, when you think about it. So, so, so, wait, so wait. Do you know this? Yeah, I know this. So, he told me the whole thing. So, I'm like, Brad, I said, man, we gotta do a, we gotta do a, I came up with this, this movie. Okay. And I'm like, man, came up with this movie. I'm like, I gotta go get, he said, you get Mike. If you get Mike, I'm in. I said, all right. I had no contacts to Mike. I was like, how am I gonna find Mike freaking Tyson, man? Somebody know somebody. Somebody that know somebody, that know somebody. Yeah, yeah. Right, exactly. So, I did that. So, you pulled it off. Exactly. So, I'm in Arizona with my cousin, Junior Spivey, and his wife, Tabitha, my cousin's tab. She was like, Columbus, you should call, you know who you should call? You should call Sam. I said, Sam. Sam is like the new Don King, you know, Sam behind everybody. You know the white hair. Yeah. So, that's my uncle Sam. That's my uncle Sam. That's my man. That's the real uncle Sam. So, I said, man, I call uncle Sam. He said, hey, Columbus, I got you. I said, I got you right now. And I had been doing all these road maps. Trying to get to him. Yeah. But Sam said, bing bong bong, bing bong. And he just got it. So, he was like, where you back in LA? Cause I was in Arizona. And I was back in, that was a Saturday. I'm thinking I'm meeting with Mike Tyson, brother-in-law, Azim, who is now my brother. And his wife, Kiki. And I walk into the conference room, brother. And that was him right there. And Mike Tyson sitting at the head of the table, smoking a joint. That's him. It was him for real. So, I'm gonna be like, aw, shit. He's like, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Some of y'all, when he told me what this is all about. Man, his podcast is crazy. Where the hell's going on? So I'm, I'm like, you know, they're like, give him a pitch, pitch it. So I start, I start opening. Like, I'm like, I'm very much into it. I'm like, okay. So we open. It's, it's a dusty road. So, there's a truck. And then this pigeon flies onto the thing. And the pigeon lands onto the, the lady said, don't tell me this pigeon lands into my hands. How could you keep a serious face during the whole time? I was dead ass, cause it's Mike. Me, she mean, how could you do it? Cause I was dead ass, I'm dead ass serious. And he nailed it. He said, don't tell me the pigeon lands into my hands. I said, it definitely lands in your hands, Mike. And that's the opening. But he was like, where the fuck did he go? He was like, Mike Tyson. Uncle Miles. Mike Tyson. Uncle Miles. Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson. Uncle Miles. Oh, gee. Triple, triple. Oh, gee. He found himself in these podcasts. They loving it, man. He's back. You know, no, man. Mike, Mike, I love him so much. His family, his wife, uh, is my sister. His brother, Azim, man, his, his mother-in-law, uh, Amar Ali, Pap Ali, you know what I mean? They, they, they are, they are special humans, man. And, uh, they are special humans. And, uh, you know, I'm, I'm happy to see that Mike, uh, he was the story for me. Like, this was a champion, man. Yeah. Failed from grace. But when you met him, though, compared, you know how, like, I see you on TV all the time and stuff like that. And I get my own perception of you. But when you actually meet a person, you learn something new. What was it about him that surprised you when you met him in person compared to? Nothing. Nothing. I thought he was. You thought he was. Because I've, my spirit identified with him from, from the first time I ever seen him. That fight, that everything. But, you know, he's a student. You know? Like, you can make jokes about Mike, but like, Mike's a brilliant man. That's what everybody says. Like, he's a freaking brilliant man. Like, for real. Just because he's done this, you know, it doesn't come out right the way he talks. I don't stop you from- Master degrees at universities. I just remember when- We had a guy named Mo3 that got Kyoto on the ground. Yeah, yeah. Shot on the freeway. He had seen Mike right before that. And Mike was talking, why do y'all do this? You know, he was checking Boosie. Yeah, Mike checked Boosie. Mo3 was on that one. I watched it. That was at Tyson Ranch, bro. That's right. He was really giving it to him. And it made me think about these podcasts and these moments, because we had a guy here. I shot out to Warty 2 Live, who got killed right after he left for about a guy that was standing behind him. That was where the man sat. And so, I was like, man, you know, these moments we get together, you gotta say what you gotta say, get it out there because you got this moment. You don't know if it's the last. You don't know. So you gotta take advantage of making sure when you step behind these mics that you make sure that you take these moments to do the right thing. I watched Mo3 interview with- That's a name. Vlad. Ridiculous. I don't respect you, Vlad. Wow. I don't respect you, Vlad. So... What? Because Vlad is extorting. Everybody says that. And using... And he probably worked for the FBI or something. Everybody says that. You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't... Stop going on Vlad TV, black people. Wow. He ain't for y'all. He ain't for us. He just wants you on there. Cancel him. Stop cancelling our people. Cancel that. Wow, man. Shout out to Boss Talk 101, man. Columbus Short on here spitting it. He telling you to come support black people with black businesses that've been here for 15-plus years. And he just show up, man. Thank you for supporting us, man. In that support, man. I just want to educate. Everybody asking me all the time, what you got going on Columbus? What you doing in Columbus? I'm a student like Kobe, man. I'm a Virgo. Kobe was a Virgo. Black Mamba. He was a consummate student. I want everybody to be. You know what I mean? But now, how can we level the player field? God has put me in a position that I never thought I would be in. That has nothing to do with entertainment. That has nothing to do with being famous. But everything to do with putting people in a position to be successful and even the playing field. And what is that? That started from the crypto and went into the NFTs, right? And I, you know, people didn't know what an NFT was. Listen, let me say this for you. And you're going to get right dead into that. But that's what Phazon loved when he came on here. He was like, man, I don't understand it. I told him on the phone. I'm like, I don't understand it either. We're in the blind in this. When people came to me, I'm saying, it's like some kind of what they call pyramid scheme. I have no idea what it is. And then the guy's like, man, you got to get in. I'm like, nah, man, I don't know about that crypto. You even when black people hear about something, it's already too late. So give us the spill on what it is so we can understand it so our listeners and break it down to the simplest form for anybody to understand. We have broke loss on the crypto. So. You ain't broke and you ain't lost. You just don't know about the crypto. So let me know you about the crypto from a real crypto. Hey! Hey! So, so what is crypto? Cryptocurrency is currency that you can exchange through the internet, right? Right. Through the web, through, you know... Electronically. Electronically, okay? Yes. And why? Why is this important? So you got Bitcoin and Dodgecoin. You got a Snoop kind of coin. Now what do these coins do? Like in different worlds in a virtual reality. Is it like a stock? This is exactly what it is. Like Apple. Like you watching your, you know... And if you know about stock, you know... Let's break it down a little bit. But most people, some people, black people, I didn't know about stocks. I didn't know about stocks. I got my first million dollars. Do you know how quick I blew away? I blew it through my first million levels. What did you do? I bought an M6. I got an L. Cash. I got an L. It was just money on. How did it happen? It was the entertainment that got it to me. Stomp the arc. Stomp the arc. When they gave it to you, yeah. I got nothing for the movie. But when the movie was number one, two weekends in a row. Like a government check. I got checks. Kicking what? Never seen that much money in my life. And you still get residuals from it today? Yeah, yeah, today. Lack of financial education. Financial literacy. I was financially illiterate. I didn't know how to handle it. All I was trained in was how to be a talent. I just had nothing. I didn't understand monetary. So what an NFT is. It's a non-fungible token. So it's an image. So anything here is an image. This is an image. All these are images. And you can mint these. What minting means is you can make a collection. And now people say, oh man, these are in the store hidden away. They in the store over here, unique fashion in the middle of ball springs. But what if somebody wants that picture? And they're willing to pay for that picture. Now, you're minting 10,000 of the pictures with you and Michael. But does it have to be a picture that nobody else has? It has to be like one? No, it could be anything. It could be anything. But it's not about what it is. It's about the community. We talk about the blockchain. Now we're going to the blockchain. So you can have an NFT. You can have an image. You say, I'm going to mint this image. I'm going to put it on the blockchain. What blockchain? What blockchain? You don't have a community. If you don't have a community, so like us. So you have to create a community. That's us, right? I'm telling you guys, like, oh, yo, people play. So let me back up. People pay $300,000 to be a board ape, right? Like to walk around like a monkey. First of all, black people, they're not fucking with that for real. Unless they really already know, like soldier boy, man. We don't want to be monkeys. It's all white people walking around looking like monkeys. $300,000. So what? This is crazy. What's the value? Now to be a board ape is 1.3. That's the floor now. Beaver came in hot. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, wait, these are sharks. I said, these are sharks, man. I said, so what kills a shark? Either a school of dolphins or a goddamn orca. We making these orcas. So I was like, we're going to make these orcas. But what? We're going to make some cool orcas, too. They swag 250 renderings, meaning you're going to have a LeBron orca, a Seth Curry orca, a Britney Spears orca. You know, we can have a U orca. You know what I'm saying? We can have the Columbus orca. You see a three-piece suit, make a smoke in the blunt. Yeah. With a sip on the side. You know that's me walking through that, right? Point being is what's in that image is art, right? The images are artwork. The Sotho Bees are for some viewers, Sotho Bees is like a art gallery. And I could be, you know, there's art galleries all over the world. And they hold the Mona Lisa's and the Jackson Pollux and the Salvador Dali's and all the finest art. Now this is what it is. But there's nothing in the art. There's no tangible things. So what we load into these images is smart. It's called a smart contract. And these images, when you are an orca, now you get privileges, real-life utilities, just for being a holder of this NFT. Yes. So if you have that picture, so let's say that picture was an NFT. In that picture, if you had it in your phone, being a holder of that picture that's minted by an orca, Orca United, now, because you're a member, let's start with worldwide global transportation. Worldwide Concierge Service. So if you land in Nashville, you land in Kansas City, you land in Heathrow Airport in London, right when you're, you know, terminals are, you know, trying to get through O'Harrows, trying to get through even DFW sometimes, you got to get to this town in Obama. Man, you're getting guided by an orca, met with an orca, boom, picked up, taken to your hotel, boom, that's coming with a holder. Another thing that I was seeing, you know, I'm a solution, I'm a solution guy. I don't have a problem solver. Another problem, I said, man, the way Putin tripping, these motherfuckers tripping, bro. So I said, man, what if they shut the power grid down? That's true. I'm eating, I mean, I've met, I have met the most brilliant minds, so blessed to have met the most brilliant minds I've ever, I'm talking about the Nicola Tesla's, the Einstein's, I'm talking about the boom, and they all have these things, but I was like, what if tomorrow they've got hundreds of millions of dollars in this crypto, like sitting in it, and they can transfer it over, it's all, you know, that's, I'll teach you guys. I'm gonna be dropping that, but you know, they can, in this crypto they got, they worth $200 million. But guess what, if the power grid goes out, it's gone. Can't get it back. So I said, what do we do here? We have holders, especially people in the community, the people I'm trying to bring in, what do we do? We partner with a gold mining company. So now every month, half of your returns is coming because you're in the blockchain, the returns, as as Orca United blows, so do you, so do you, so do you, so do you, so do you. Everybody blows in the community, so the value of holding that Orca, that image, right? And maybe you bought in at like say $1,000, $1,500, which it waits to probably, probably let's say 0.5 Ethereum, right? You coming in, you coming in sweet? Can you come in at any amount? No, we start a floor, right? But if you're in at 0.5, then Shack comes and buys the Orca, and he says he buys an Orca for a million dollars, guess what? That's worth it. It's a million dollars. Now you got some returns coming. Half of your returns are gonna come in a gold coin minted with your Orca, so now you have a physical asset, put that on the couch, put that in safe, take that to the boom. Don't take it to the bank, put that in safe at the crib. You know what I mean? In case something goes south. You know what I mean? I want people to be have some security in there as well. I like that, I like that because then even with banks, you be like, okay, it's insured, you want something that is insured. And don't take the gold to the bank. Right. Because what the bank shut down. They not gonna give you, you think they gonna send a 30-day notice? To let y'all know? If they pull the plug, they pulling the plug. No more banks. What you got, bruh? Nothing. Nothing. You better have something in the crib. That's real. So, boom, that's another part of the, that's another part of being a part of Orca United society in that smart contract you get that. Then you have this live and digital platform access. So what does that mean? We're building a city in the metaverse because that's where we're building, right? The in-game is the metaverse, right? Everybody's, you know, sandbox, all this stuff, but I saw problems there. In the metaverse, you want to go hang out with Snoop. Well, guess who? That's cool right now, but AI is smart. AI is taking your brain, your brain, your brain, your brain. They getting smarter and smarter and if you don't have securities to protect your metaverse, it's gonna get taken over by AI, right? So, we have to put those proper securities in place to build Orcona, the first metatropolis in the metaverse. It's gonna be a full city, like the movie Free Guy. Like, when you land in there orcona, hospital, backlining with Teta medicine. If you want to come in, you and Cancun, you ran out of your anxiety meds or your diabetes, whatever, whatever meds, blood pressure medicines. Boom, you get an immediate, you're an orchid holder, you're immediately, you know, right there with your doctor Oculus is boom, and then have a real life utility in real life, right? CVS can pick up your prescription, you know, partnering with Sony. You're just thinking about everything. No, it's like, and not only that, he comes into this world and you don't just sit, he starts to try to figure out ways to be a creative mind to construct defensive mechanisms toward weaknesses within the whole realm. Correct. So, like partnering with Sony and Warner Brothers and Paramount and Universal, now we're giving the studios no more, I'm sorry, no more movie theaters. I mean, we can have them as a, what's it called, some a past time, right? But, you know, it's like a, you know, something that's I love going to the picture show. A lot of people are not doing that anymore. No, but we got the career watching movies. So now, boom, Sony got their own movie theater. Warner Brothers got their own movie theater. Netflix, Hulu, boom, boom, boom. Red Light District, I watched his documentary on how brothels built America. And I said, what? And then I was thinking about it, I said Mark Zuckerberg, he got these people out here on Only Fast, they making all this money on, and guess what? Mark Zuckerberg owns your content, guys. He owns your content. He does. He owns your everything, your data. We've been talking about that. I just posted a little brook, he takes your Instagram, Boosie, and he does what he want to do with people's, people lose them every day and they just drop them and then people's income change, too. Well, here's the deal. They monetize. So here's the deal. What's the difference between and I'm going to shut it down right here. I can't say nothing else after this. I already know. So, uh, uh, Prenuer. I'm an owner in this company called Prenuer. And Prenuer, what's Prenuer? So Prenuer is we have business Prenuer. It's called Prenuer, but it's, we have artists Prenuer, business Prenuer, dance Prenuer, actor Prenuer, you know, there's a bunch of Prenuers. Can I get, hey, can I get a, yep, boom, fantastic. She know that exactly. Prenuer, yeah, yeah. Got you. Why, why? So anything you do, bro, boss talk 101, anything you send out guys on Instagram, only 1.2% of your followers are seeing that. It's in the algorithm. Mark Zuckerberg put it there on Facebook and I can tell you and I don't know why he did it. So if you have 600 followers, I'll say the number. Let's say 600 followers, 1.2, that's 12. 12 people, they could be ghost. They could be non, like not even real, they could be bots. So we're falling on deaf ears. So how are you reaching your market? How are you reaching your people? Prenuer is now you're creating your own phone book like in all of your followers by show of hands, use your, you know, you can bring them over from social media a little, right? And use social media just to bring them over. But what's the point? If Mark Zuckerberg can own our data, Facebook can own our data, if American Express can own our data, Macy's can own our data, if, you know what I mean? Bloomingdale and all these people can own our data, why can't we own our own data? So now what Prenuer does is allows you to own your data. Okay, period. So Prenuer is... So every time you say, hey, check it out, bruh, E-C-E-O here, Boss Talk, bruh, bruh, bruh, click in, click the number in my bio right now, boom, or click Prenuer in my bio, call the number in my bio, or text the number in my bio, code, C-E-O, or Boss Talk, I'm going to send you all the latest updates and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Now instead of 1.2% visibility, you're getting 100% visibility because everybody in your contact, everybody in your phone book that says, I want to know everything Boss Talk is doing. I want an eyeshow. You guys got fans and it doesn't show, it doesn't reflect on the thing. You feel me? Cheers, by the way. Cheers. Cheers. YouTube is the same way. No, because even when we are on YouTube and we go live and as much as everybody hit Jamaica. Where you from? Jamaica. And everybody hit the notification bell. When they come on our live, they're like, but we didn't get a notification for this. We didn't see this. So I could literally what I'm going to do is I think we should do next week and I would love to do this with you guys. I'm going to set you guys up an account. Okay. That's on me, on the Love Boss Talk, you know, Boss Talk Pernumer account because you have a huge network. Yeah. And if you let people know, hey, you got to update stuff. Like even when you got to get new clothes and stuff, you know, you say, hey, new stuff out, new drops. You know what I mean? And you're sending out so what's great about this on Pernumer is that so when I sit, so I say we just launched. So I got probably about 200,000. So on my phone book, I go in and you guys control it. This is not somebody doing this for you. And I walk you through how to do it. Right. When did Pernumer start? I don't mean it's been around for a little bit, but it didn't start till I showed up. So I like you. Yeah. I'm you know. So did you are you part owner? Yes, I am. So how did you how did you it brings up the question? How did you get into Pernumer? How did you know about it? You said and you are impressed by it. No, that's not how because I wasn't impressed by it when I first saw it. Okay. Because I didn't know, understand what it was. What it was. And nobody did. Just like I didn't know about NFTs. Just I didn't I didn't understand a lot of stuff, but I had to dive in to understand. So what I realized what Pernumer provides is bringing back what this is what the DAO, a DAO DAO decentralized autonomous organization. We are a decentralized autonomous organization, meaning we are not we're not controlled all of us right. We are so in that DAO things move differently. You understand what I'm saying. So for example, my guy that started Pernumer was my CTO for Oracle United. Okay. So he builds companies, right? He built up Adobe technologically, right? Built Adobe. He built gets them to IPO and sells them. Which is supposed to do. Yeah. Right. But now he's like, man I want to just I want to help my people. What's amazing about this NFT crypto space metaverse all this stuff that people want to are so spooked out about is that majority of the people behind the scenes are young African-American brilliant techs. Really? Brilliant. Like brilliant. Silicon Valley didn't let them in and they figured out they back way. And this is the back way because now, you know what I mean, now we got a voice. So, you know, I'm doing my rounds. This is my first stop. Hey, Boston 101. This is my first stop. This is my first stop. This is my first stop. This is my first stop. I'm going to sit down with the screen actors guild, the directors guild of America. I'm sitting down with PGA. WGA. Teamsters. I want to bring us together to understand what we got to come together and do is is is locking on this Dow. What does that mean? Dow. If we have a Dow coin who's fucking with us? Nobody because it's yours. Is it the way you explain it earlier? If we have a Dow coin everything works on the Dow. We exchange in the Dow. We change in the way we exchange. Yeah. Yeah. We can't change changes and change until we change and know how to exchange. Right? He's right. So, let's change it. Decentralize autonomous organization. The time is Dow. Wow. Wow. The time is Dow. Man, so, man, you, like I said, I knew when you was talking with the passion, you were speaking with about Instagram. When you call, he's like, you know, I knew it was something you had up your sleeve. I heard you. She was talking to you. But if you've been watching his Instagram for a while, you've been talking about NFTs and all of that for a while now. Yeah. And the orcas. And you know what? I understand everything about it. But the first step is education. Yeah. Right. And this is the first step. This is why it starts here. So, you know, I want to, you know, lock in with me. Y'all lock in with me on Purnure. You know, you can lock in. I'm going to be basically bulletins. Yeah. They're going to come. It's going to be called Orca United Digest where it's going to be educational videos. Me talking, like, how do you even set up a coin base, like a wallet? Yeah. You know, we got to start from the basics. We got to close the knowledge gap because they moving so fast. I'm like, I can't leave my people behind. That's, that's out. You know what I'm saying? That's out for me. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, as I'm learning, I'm like, man, what about because they moving so fast. I'm like, all right, well, I'll be the bridge of the water. Let my people go. There's still so much for you to learn because this is, I'm learning every day. It's a daily Oh, it's a, oh man. And that's, it's like, when I was doing Scandal, Leon Panetta said, you know, what was it? What was it like have a day in the White House? Have you ever tried to drink water out of a fire hose? No, lips. Yeah, blew off. Blew off. Blew off. Blew off. Nah man, that's what it's like in this space right now because these, the mind, you know, humans are competing with AI now, not themselves anymore. So human, the most brilliant humans they're all day. Because that's the arrow we're at right now. But if you're, if you're, let them relax, let them stay on the front lines and let us be the ones to, to communicate, not to take advantage but educate because think about this. It's revenge of the nerds. I'm sorry guys. It's revenge of the nerds, the brilliant ones that people bullied in school and ignored. That was, these motherfuckers is millionaires. So you're mad. It's cool to be a nerd. You see, you know what I mean? When you were shitting on them, now they shh. They ain't playing any game. They ain't playing any game. They coming with board shorts, flip flops, with rarries. Pulling up on you. So, so what I'm saying is we have, but they don't know how to speak. You know, they'll go too fast. Like, you know, we're going with three, we're going in, we're going in. And you're like, what the fuck you talking about, man? Break it down for me. They don't know how to. So that's what I am. I am the translator for the geniuses. You can do a movie about it. That's interesting. Because then people understand things a lot better through movies. When you give scenarios and everything and they can see it. By the time we make the movie and the time this shit come out we're already going to be pretty shift. You know what I mean? What's happening right now and I don't know man left behind. You know what I'm saying? Let's get right. Ask me any question. I'll get you the answer. If I don't have the answer I'll say I don't have the answer and I'll get it. People will definitely be in the comments asking all the questions and contact me on Pernure. You know my IG, yeah you hit me on official c-short but really that number hit me on that number. I'm going to get you guys a number. We're going to generate a 214 for you guys. Get you a 214, set your Pernure account up you send me the pictures. I'll get you guys locked in and you guys start bringing your community in because you guys talking about a real lot of stuff. Man we trying to make sure we keep our people on point of what's going on. Because in today's society everybody's on their phones on YouTube watching. People are not watching TV no more. But think about all those empty transactions. So those are empty transactions. So when you saying like when you got like LinkedIn like you are a league tree so you go say goodbye now you know I realize this when I'm putting Mike Tyson's Pernure together right now sorry I'm throwing bars. So but I realize you had all this stuff all over the place and it wasn't like central you got a this going on you got a this going on you got a that going on you got a that. It's all these different locations you streamline everything. Your people the people that give a care about you. That's right. You know what I mean the ones that are in your network for real in your community they click on it they know all the stuff you're doing because it's right there stuff even old stuff whatever you want to put on there right and all your stuff is focused it's in a file it's in a brief it's right there centralized organized you in the game. I'm holding you to my my Pernure account coming baby. Hey man you're on the way Pernure on the way on the way. We hear it now. So I mean no no no no you go now I was going to go back into the film a little bit. Oh yeah. Because I know you did scandal. Yes ma'am. And so but what do you prefer to do you prefer to do TV TV series or movies like an act? I prefer to do music. I was going to get into that. I know you love music but you have to choose between those two. Movies. Why? Because I don't want to play the same person all the time. I like to change I like I like to embody characters and you know when you when you really embody a character you have to go in and so you know when you go in you got to also get out and when you get out you need some time to like refine yourself but when you play the same person over and over you know every day like why hasn't Jalil White been in no movies? Because he's an amazing actor. He's a phenomenal actor but he played Urkel every day and that's all they saw. That's all they see man. I mean I didn't want to be Harrison Wright I'm a man I hit it and I quit it and I keep pushing forward because it's the ball we got to keep evolving we got to keep pushing we got to keep growing so I never get I'm never comfortable where I'm at but at least in movies I get to I get to emote and I get to tell the stories you know I don't want to tell no more slave stories man you know I'm saying I got I got I got projects you know I got the life rights to Doc Ellis he threw a no-hitter on LSD. Amazing story. But the story is not amazing because he threw a no-hitter on LSD. The story is amazing because this man struggled with addiction he struggled with alcoholism. Is that the one that you you studied you actually became had to become an alcoholic? No no I haven't done it yet. Okay because somebody was telling me that you had to play a part where you right so you actually became an alcoholic. Yeah I just I was a method actor then and method is amateur night and I realized that because I'm I was so scared of losing him right losing it losing the character like if I go home I'm gonna forget I'm gonna forget how to be him I'm gonna forget how so I gotta be him at all time man no now growth it's like you like you go to work you put your lab coat on and when you leave you take it off you take it off and you go back home and that's where I've grown to. How long did it take you to... 39 years. Today's today's years old. So I mean when I seen you play those anger parts you really embodied those the when he was mad on this Christmas he was upset. I've been mad my whole life dog. I've been mad all my life. The character said mad and got him. That's it man that boy played them parts right there man. Yeah you got some real too. It's real like I'm into it bro. But that's what I love about acting and I love about music. I love about art. Art allows you to emote everything you can't deal with in your real life but then sometimes which happens with a lot of actors think about all the actors that have killed themselves. Rockstar that have killed themselves or died or OD'd or anything. It's because instead of dealing with our issues we hide in our craft. The character. Not the character. The art. The art. And when I could hear a guitar I don't even care. Jimmy Hendrix didn't care. He could put that asset right on there tie the thing tie his bandana and sweat it out on the stage and hide the giraffe's ass. Doesn't care. Because he's emoting and he's living and he's not thinking about anything. But that's not it's not the way to do it. But at the end of the day when you finish that you go back to reality you have to deal with it. And that's why nobody wants to be back and nobody wants to be with reality. Right? So it's like let's get to reality though. You know what I'm saying? Let's get to reality man. That's been the problem with a lot of people with me. Because they don't I'm a real one. You know what I'm saying? I'm not a real one like no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking bang on everything. No you're alright. It's a little bit real with you guys man. And it's like, bruh. You know what I mean? You know it hurt my heart seeing what was going down with Orlando Brown. You know what I mean? And that's my baby brother. And I wish I could have like wrapped my arms around him like I wanted my some of my odors. You know I'm sorry Orlando. I shoulda came and got you. You know what I mean? That makes sense man. You gotta go to him when you can. And you know him and you have a relationship. You're not talking to him. It's a problem. What's going on with Columbus? Everybody calling like bruh. You don't mental health is real. It is so real. Y'all don't know. Y'all don't call check on somebody bruh. Calling check on somebody. Especially during the pandemic when a lot of people weren't working and stuff like that. Calling check on your peoples man. People laughing and really not even I'm talking about your uncles. You gotta make that call. It's a fine mind. The mind is a fragile place. There's neurons and there's things that are going on in our brain and it takes one thing to break that fabric. That's called a nervous breakdown. Somebody just click out. You gotta check in. And I'm not even talking about me. I'm talking about like I see people click out. I've seen them click out. I've clicked out a couple of times. But you click right back in. But I click right back in. Some people click out and they don't know how they came back. And you see that blank, that vacant. Like you look in their eyes and they're vacant. How can you help somebody like that? I don't know. You should have helped them before they clicked. Some people said they don't see the sign before. I'm talking about there's a finite space between helping somebody, helping somebody. But when they hit that line and they click it's like they put a pill in your head and somebody had a button and said when they hit that line I'm gonna press the bell. You out? It's over with. No coming back. No coming back. You go ahead. What are your views on? Do you remember when Monique went through her situation and how they're reconciling that now? Did you see that? What's your views on that? Monique. I love Monique. Monique. They did her dirty. And she was dope through it too. I love Monique. I'm a big Monique fan. And you know what? She never said. Monique never lied. So those prices, those things that she was talking about the neglect it was there? She never lied. That's all I can say. But I love the way how they're coming back and trying to embrace her. Well guess what? Trying to embrace people that never gave a fuck about you in the first place. She didn't give a fuck. Sorry. That's what I told him I said. Monique didn't care. Monique was like y'all some raggedy straight up. Y'all raggedy. This is raggedy. And people, you know black people man guys you know I'm never going to walk on stage and smack Chris Rock in his face. Ever. You know what I'm saying? I think that was flagrant. But I was so happy when Will did it. Explain. That's Chris. Explain. Go ahead. Because Chris is a dirty dog. I did death at a funeral. And not Chris. Yeah. Chris ain't going to come. What you going to do? Stop it. Stop it. Snock it off. I'm going to get into it. Snock off the ballerkey. I'm going to it too much, but he ain't doing shit, man. What we seen? You know we seen. It's not but it's just not okay to in the platform. But he was had it. Will, that's the click out. You're talking about that. That's it. Click that at the Oscars. Yeah. Motherfucker. Motherfucker. We'll see this. Give you another minute. Nothing got it though. Not French friends. They'll be a born and raised. Yeah. Yeah. It was the follow through for me. He said bow. All the way through. He didn't even miss a step. And he smirked when he was leaving. I did that. But you know what gets down to the deeper? Chris. Jada been raggedy. And you been raggedy. So I put boss talk versus red tabletop. Boss talk versus red tabletop. How you going to have your husband on your own show? Nah. And he over here later on. Man, that's my hero. Man, you have my hero. That broke my heart, bro. It was bad the way they laid it out. Ghost smack August, bro. He not going to do that. Nah, because he gave it to August. He gave it to August. Sorry. Giving up the ghosts. So Chris shouldn't have said it or he should have said it, the joke that he put out there. That was raggedy. You know you raggedy. I don't got to work with you. You ain't paying my bills. I don't get no residuals from you other than death at the funeral. Thank you. Wow, so how is residuals? And he says that the new let me say this, the new improved guys like the country way. And who else? It's a bunch of them. All these different influencers online. They're doing things. That's not residuals. No, they're not making residuals. That's how it came up. Country Rain is a millionaire. He has a lot and he made that from social media. He didn't do the movies and all of that to gain residuals and stuff like that. And he was like, how is he a millionaire? And I was like, well, if you google it but he made really good money off of it. He's like, well, if you google it, Forbes, he's not on any of those stuff. He doesn't get residuals. I've been doing movies and I get residuals. So he's like sort of downplayed that. But... Is there residuals in what he's done? No, there isn't. There is. You get your check and that's it. No, because if somebody go and look at the stuff that you put up, you still get paid for that stuff. You still get paid for that stuff. But you still get paid off of views. So you're still making money off of views even after you made this. Residuals is money for your kids. But residuals after years of... But those residuals start to disintegrate right after years. I mean, it depends on what project you're doing. Yeah. Okay, examples. Stomping the yard. So stomping the yard from back then whenever you did it until now. It's been going in. Hasn't it been going down? It's been going down, but it's been consistent. Okay. So like Fresh Miss & Belair.

Thank you and we appreciate you I heard I seen stories where you went through a lot with women and all kind of stuff man Yeah, and for you to still be here man. It's for somebody else, too It wasn't for you either it's for you to help somebody like you helped us tonight by giving us information Going through relationship stuff. It's also for you to help somebody who gonna go through those situations People all the time I said anything you go through in life Don't always think that that's the end of the road you go through it to help me just exactly what he said So many people come on here and say if I didn't go through this I wouldn't be where I am just like you talk about some of the art If you didn't go through all of the things you went through before you wouldn't be prepared for that role Not at all. So it goes the same thing goes for relationships where we're at in our relationships We're like, how can I ask you guys something? Have you guys stayed married this long? God Don't give the easy answer man. That's not fair. That's not that's she cut. Don't give it easy. God Okay For real things like when he getting on your nerves when you getting on his nerves How y'all making it through we it's Praying man. I teach and I feed in the homeless and doing crazy stuff. What does I have to do with this moments? We work together well like the work the chemistry of doing things together building projects together Being able to for me just being able to know that how good she been to my kids, bro And the way she treat everybody that that I love that does something for me So when I go to work and come home, I'm happy about being able to be with this one She beautiful and I pray for so I ain't going nowhere. And even when we have problems It ain't really that much. It's not that big of a problem. Look, you can look at things on a scale of 1 to 3 and it looks bad You have to change that to 1 to 10, bro And then look at that 3 and it don't look that bad no more. It's all about perception. You said it earlier It's the way you perceive things you can you a man pretty much has the ball in this court If something mess up smiths the man's fault. That's all the way I say that all the time I coach football right? I'm a football coach. Yeah, I'm like a court coach quarterbacks named mainly. Yeah And so I always say I don't care you you throw the perfect pass hit your boy boom He missed pops off his chest pick six Sure fault. That's it. That's it. You got to pick. That's it. Same thing with relationships. Yeah, but at the same time It's communication and one thing I've learned about communication Sometimes men and women think totally different totally different. So and for us We want you to understand what we're we're we're we're coming from But we have to realize that sometimes no matter how much we try to explain it You're not going to get it and vice versa So a lot of times you have to learn how to work around your differences learn that Because you want You're made to be your best friend. You want to be able to come to that person all the time You want to because that's the person's gonna be with you for the rest of their life when your kids are gone It's just going to be you and that person So You can't let anything at anyone come in between that You know what I mean And what I was learning to is just to try to make even when it become a tense situation where you the person get on top of Nerve as long as it's not an argument yet, but a person get on top of your nerve turn it into a joke Yeah laughter laughter Laughter cures a lot, you know, because if you make the other person laugh it becomes that tense situation all day long Right. That's the don't point to you.
