These niggas is out of it Likethey couldn't wait.
Okay, it's a.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Catholic school.
Oh my God, that's a problem.
It ain't none of our schools,it's always this Well, two kids
died.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
That's why I said y'all.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I wasn't laughing at that?
I wasn't laughing at that, itwas a whole other thing.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's.
17 people were injured.
The shooter was a woman whograduated.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
A woman.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Uh-huh In 2017.
She was 23 years old.
Her name was Robin Westman.
Was yeah, because she passedaway.
She didn't.
Yeah, she died, she killed away.
She didn't.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah she died.
She killed herself she killedherself.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's the thing I hate I hate that shit.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
They go shoot people and kill them.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
That'd be the mission of those kamikazes.
That's how they do it.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, apparently she had like YouTube.
They found like an old YouTubepage of hers where she actually
had like a journal and she wassaying it in russian.
But she was basically talkingabout like suicide, shooting up
people, like terrorist type ofstuff.
So what happened, I don't know.
It was talking about depression, suicide, nothing in particular

(07:35):
, um, but definitely aboutcarrying out a mass suit.
And so that goes back to what Ialways say please, please, go
talk to somebody.
You know I'm saying like younever alone, you don't never
gotta hold that in, like you gotpeople that want to talk to you
, even if you gotta talk to thewall sometimes.
You know I'm saying get it out,be in touch with your feelings,
okay before you go did it saidthe age range of the kids

(07:59):
anywhere.
no, just that, she it did.
No, the two that died was eightand ten, eight and ten.
So it was an elementary school.
Yeah, it was a Catholic school.
But why did she go to anelementary school?
Because she went there.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Somebody did something to her.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
She made them teach her.
Yeah, yeah, she probably gotwhipped.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
She probably went to that same school and got whipped
on on.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, you know, I'm saying it came back unbelievable
.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
That's crazy, it's nasty work.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
So you know um before um, and then also.
My second one is a woman thatwas found dismantled, dumped in
a burning bag in 2007 is now hergirlfriend is being charged
with her murder 17 years laterthat's nasty work.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
17 years later yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
so to sum it all up, basically in 2007 her hands in
her head had was never found,but partial remains were found
and her girlfriend at the timebasically was, you know, on the
run.
They was from New York orwhatever, what have you so they
ran down to Atlanta.
They didn't want she didn'twant her to leave.

(09:13):
So basically she killed her andthen took her lifestyle over,
like, took her over and playedlike the girl.
So the only reason why theyfind it out now years later is
played her.
Yep Killed her and played her Umand basically she was getting
social security you know sectioneight and all that and the girl
was still getting like socialsecurity checks and like acting

(09:34):
like this young lady Nicole.
And so basically how she wascaught in foul was it was time
for her to go ahead and do herrenewal and everything.
And you know you gotta go tothe doctor and take tests and
stuff like that.
And that's when they found outlike hold away, you ain't Nicole

(09:54):
.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Her blood type is O negative.
You be positive what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
going on.
She killed her and took heridentity.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
She is in jail right now.
Right, she is charged with onecount of murder and two counts
of identity fraud, and they saidthat they weren't really able
to identify the body until 2023when the DNA had matched.
They said she left her and thegirlfriend they left.

(10:28):
You know what I'm saying.
The last time they seen her wasThanksgiving of 2007.
And so they ain't find her bodyuntil 2017.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
She chopped the ass up on Thanksgiving.
I'm trying to tell you with thebacon.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Well, those, right there were a little.
You know a lot, so we're justgoing to leave those two right
there.
Also, my next hot topic isy'all been watching the Cardi B
case that's going on right now.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Cardi B had a case.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
She got a case about the assault.
So apparently she was like inthe doctor's office, if I'm not
mistaken, and the young lady.
I guess she thought the younglady was recording her.
So the girl is trying to saythat Cardi B attacked her.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
She did.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
She trying to say she attacked her because she was
recording her without herpermission, but she was pregnant
at the time.
So but my whole thing is, and Idon't know all the pieces, so
before y'all go pieces so you inthe doctor's office you're not
supposed to be recording mewhile I'm in the doctor's office
like how do I, how does sheknow that she, like carly b,

(11:35):
wanted to know people that shewas pregnant?
Like that's not your big orwhat if she god forbid?
You know, something happened tothe baby when she was there for
that, like you were wererecording that lady.
I feel like I understand withbeing celebrity, I understand
what having fame and what thatcomes with, but at the end of
the day, people are still humanand you still have to kind of
give them that grace and youstill got to kind of treat them

(11:56):
like people because baby.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
But you do got to keep your hands to yourself,
though.
Yeah, you just can't.
Just, even if you're acelebrity, you just can't just
go punching people, and becausethey recording you, you're like
yeah, please don't record methat once you put your hands
physically on somebody, yes,that's assault, regardless who
the fuck you are but she didn'tput her hands on her.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
The girl is saying that she did and she not.
They're trying to say it's amoney grab, that the girl is
lying oh, but the shit's caughtup, oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
so fuck you.
Like you lying and dead Causethey're in court.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Cause they're in court.
If you see her on the standfirst of all, the first day, the
Cardi B and what she wore tocourt was crazy.
She had a mullet on.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
A mullet on.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yes honey looking crazy.
And then her second date is onthe stand, she knows she's
getting examined, whatever likethat.
And a man is asking her like sowhat's your definition of a
physical altercation?
And she's like, well, I don'tknow, because that didn't happen
but, I do know is that we had averbal altercation, and verbal

(12:57):
means that nobody put theirhands on each other so party b
is like giving it back right shewas like and um.
So then the lawyer had asked herlike, okay, so what about the
tapes?
She was like, is it true thatyou asked to see tapes or
whatever like that.
She said yeah, because she'sgoing around telling people, I
hit her.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
And if I hit her with a tape set like show it.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Like, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, this is a win for Carly.
Yeah, it's a win for Carly andapparently, yeah, it's a
wonderful carly and apparentlythe girl had like cancer.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
She wasn't even recording carly, like that's why
she trying to say like sheshouldn't have went that far
because she wasn't even lookingat her.
When was it supposed to be?

ahead and see if we could talkabout that a little bit.
Can you tell us a little bitabout where is it going to be,
at what time in the place?

Speaker 5 (16:56):
so we are having.
I haven't heard of this goingon in charlotte ever.
This is going to be the biggestbrunch competition day party in
the east of the United States.
Okay, yes, it's going to be atthe Bellhaven Venue, 8470

(17:19):
Bellhaven Boulevard.
Yes, from 2 to 6 on Septemberthe 14th, we have five amazing
chefs in Charlotte.
Yes, from 2 to 6 on Septemberthe 14th, we have five amazing
chefs in Charlotte.
They're from different areas inthe eastern part of United
States.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Eastern North Carolina, just really, really
good, hand-picked chefs that arevery, very excited.
They're competing for $1,000.
Um, we have some amazing judges.
It's just something.
Uh, originally it startedbecause I wanted to compete and

(17:54):
then, like the second I met her,I was like, oh, you're a chef,
I want to have a competition.
So we thought it was just goingto be the two of us and then we
just wanted to make it a littlebit bigger because we already
have a name.
Uh, we just wanted to highlightsome others and so then we just
started taking applications andwe chose the five best.

(18:15):
Uh, they're not.
They're, they are celebrities.
That's what we'll call them.
Um, none of them have no names,like you know from you know,
it's not no huge name people,but it's people that we believe
in.
They have uncommon grit.
Um, they are hustlers.
A lot of them sell plates.
They know what they're doing asfar as cooking.
So we're just really, reallyexcited about this.

(18:37):
This is not the last event.
Um, it is september 14th.
It's just gonna be a good time.
I mean, everybody's going tohave on their good clothes.
Dj Hef is going to be killingit.
It's just going to be a really,really fucking good time and
the tickets include.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Tell them what the tickets include, yeah, so you
probably have never heard of acooking competition where the
audience those who are actuallycoming, the guests are able to
try all of the cuisines that thechefs are making.
So not only that we want atreat for the chefs to be able
to compete against for the$1,000, but also a treat for the

(19:16):
guests.
So not only are they going toeat good, they're going to drink
good because we got bottomlessmimosas and they're also going
to have a good time with our DJ,dj Hef.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Come on, so the tickets right now is $65 for one
ticket, but if you get morethan one ticket it's only $50.
So nobody will come to an eventlike this by themselves, and I
mean tickets are selling fast.
We said that the tickets willstop being sold on the 12th, but
I'm not sure if they're goingto last that long.
But you know, if you've seen it, you already know if you want

(19:49):
to come or not.
We understand people don't getpaid until the Fridays, but
there's going to be a time wherewe're just like there are no
more tickets because it is acapped event and it's only a
certain amount of people thatcan come.
But it's an event.
Nobody has ever heard of this.
You've heard of a cookingcompetition, but you haven't
heard it be specific to thenumber one meal, the most
anticipated meal, the meal thatmakes people so fucking happy.

(20:12):
Sunday fun day lit.
Bring your bitches, bring yourniggas, bring every
motherfucking bite.
It's just going to be dancearound, unlimited mimosas, it's
just the value in it.
and just to see the passion oftheas, it's just the value in it
.
And just to see the passion ofthe competition, it's just going
to be a really really good time.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Did you say unlimited mimosas?
That's it.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
We are not saying no.
As soon as you walk in the door, we got the glass for you.
What kind do you want?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
We got bolognese.
Look at that little face.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
It's there.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Salivate.
He's like, oh, and we have.
So, basically, the categories,they already know the categories
.
The categories are pre-selected.
Creativity is the only thingthat's gonna win this we have
categories like under the sea uh, what's under the sea?

Speaker 5 (20:59):
something seafood related?
What's your expectation?
What's your expectation?
What's your eggs?

Speaker 2 (21:05):
expectation.
Look, she asked all myquestions.
I was over here just noddinglike girl.
Yeah, we're going to give youthe rundown.
Yes, give it to us.
We have hash shit up.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
That's going to be something that has potatoes.
We have the chef's wild card.
That's whatever they think isgoing to win this competition.
Um so how many rounds is it?
So?
There aren't rounds, they knowexactly.
So they'll be bringing theirselected uh, also five rounds,
five categories.
So everyone in the audiencewill have at least 25 hearty

(21:43):
samples of every, every singlething.
That the ultimate.
So we have our live lit studioaudience.
That's the tickets that you allwill be purchasing.
But then we have like executivejudges, um, that will be
determining.
You know, like tallying stuffup, so everybody will, at one
point, be a judge.
The audience will judge onestrong category we haven't

(22:05):
decided which one, or haven'tput it out there and then the
executive judges, who are foodieinfluencers in Charlotte, they
will be deciding who takes thewin.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
So let me get this straight.
So there's no live cooking.
They're going to have theirpre-set meals already.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, just because of time, like to be able to cook
that amount of food.
It just makes sense At the endof the day, people don't care if
it's live.
They want to be there.
They want to have a good time.
They want a limited mimosas.
They want to laugh with theirfriends.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
They want to eat.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
They want to eat.

Speaker 3 (22:37):

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Okay, they're going to take care of home always.
Y'all probably balance eachother out.
We do.
We're a lot alike but verydifferent, and we just believe
in each other.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
We got to be having like cook-offs in the house.
Like yo, I can make this betterthan you.
Yeah, that's what I'm sayingwho cook better don't lie, who
cook better?

Speaker 5 (46:04):
that's hard because we both have specialties, we
both have things that either oneof us may be better at.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Macaroni.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Macaroni.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Thanksgiving macaroni though.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Me, she's the macaroni champion.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Potato salad.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Hold up, I am.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Fried chicken.
Go ahead K.
What is that?

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Me Tuna fish Me.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
I need that seafood salad so I just forgot to ask
you.
But I want to ask you right nowwhere do you get the name the
brunch lady from?

Speaker 5 (46:39):
so brunch is my specialty.
That is the cuisine that Ifirst started out with.
So, basically, how I startedwas during COVID, doing social
work.
At the time, because of theshutdown, we were not going to

(46:59):
homes and stuff like that, so Iwould just cook.
And what I did when I startedout, I would just, uh, put on
facebook and instagram what Icook for dinner.
And one of my co-workers waslike, hey, you know, because of
the shutdown, there's norestaurants that we can go and
eat.
So my daughter's graduating,can you cook brunch for us?

(47:20):
Um, and we're gonna have it atthe house.
And I was like, uh, I don'tcater, I just, you know, make
dinner for me and my family athome.
But you know, I guess I'll try.
And then what happened was Iwent there, I didn't know
nothing about catering, likemaking something for like 25

(47:40):
people, but, shoot, I put thatstuff on the table and took a
picture and it just blew up fromthere.
So I always tell people I don'thave no out-the-mud story.
It was really just by chanceand me believing in myself and
me just posting the picture andthings shot up from there.
And so after that and here weare in 2025, I've done over 500

(48:02):
brunches since oh yeah, I havedone an investment.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Hit the clues, bomb Dun dun dun, Dun, dun dun oh.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Because she's that.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
She's the tab of the brunch.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
So I really feel like she has changed the way that
people view brunch.
She does, like I said, bigevents like weddings, birthday
parties, so she made me starttapping into brunch.
I just did a 75th birthday.
People just people lovebreakfast foods at any time of
the day, every single time ofthe day it's like and they

(48:42):
really like the lunchier side ofbrunch, so then that's dinner,
because why somebody always gotto add a lamb chop to something?

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Like why did?

Speaker 5 (48:48):
the person with the lamb chop ever come to breakfast
.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
So me too, me too, me too, so Bad bitches love brunch
.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I do.
I have a love for breakfastbecause I, you know, I'm from
the hood, and so when mamadidn't have it, she would make
breakfast for dinner so for usyeah, it was the cheapest meal.
That was what she could affordat the time.
So for us brunches I likebrunch and like pancakes and all
that like that's always beenlike a, and that was the first
thing I actually learned how tocook was pancakes, because

(49:14):
that's all we had.
My mama kept some pancake mix.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
We was gonna eat something.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
I can't make pancakes that good just add water, it
sticks to the pan.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Oh see, that's the problem it don't flip, good,
then the bubbles do wrong.
I just don't.
That's not even on my menu andI don't really do too much fried
food either.
No, my sister, when we wasyounger that's my sister over
there y'all, we got, we got anolder brother.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
We used to always be in the house making pancakes,
and pancakes was fire.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
My shit was dirt I was the only one cooking, make
pancakes.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Well, you already admitted that you're not a great
cook.
So hey, yeah, but I just, Ijust I feel you with the can't
make pancakes thing, like Ican't flip them either.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
I couldn't make grits for the longest.
I could not make grits for thelong I used to burn them or they
was gonna be too, too watery.
So I got a good crowd questionfor everybody what is the one
food like your first thing thatyou learned to cook?
What was the one thing that youfirst, when you first came in?
What was your first?
What was yours?

Speaker 4 (50:17):
No, that was the sister.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Okay, what was your first?
Thing that you learned how tocook Rice.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Rice and I couldn't.
I was fucking up rice, Icouldn't make rice for shit.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
A lot of people can't make rice.
I heard a lot of females saythey can't make rice.
A lot of people can't make rice.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Rice is like a staple .

Speaker 3 (50:34):
You gotta have rice for everything she make her rice
in the oven.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
In oven.
Yes, wait, hold on.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
How do you cook rice in the oven?
So easy?

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Wait, you cook rice in the oven, so easy.
Wait, you cook rice in the oven.
In the oven, she the firstperson to cook it.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
All you got to do is it's really a thing how it is so
easy you got a good one.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
You got a good one girl, so basically, you just,
you know, put the rice in a pan,you measure it as far as with
the water, make rice in a pan,then you cover it yeah, like you
can cover it on the stove.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Yeah, yeah.
So what's the difference intexture from the stove to the
oven?
It's the same.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
I feel like it tastes better from the oven than on
the stove because easily on thestove it can turn mushy with
just one false move With therice in the oven.
You can check it If it's alittle crunchy, you add water
and put it back in the oven.
You can check it If it's alittle crunchy, you add water
and put it back in the oven.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
That is a gem.
I'm really bad at making rice.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I can really cook my butt off.
I cook like somebody's grandma.
I clock it.
It's a Thanksgiving dinner inthe turkey, so I know I'm that
For sure, but I got a rice maker.

Speaker 5 (51:45):

Have you ever had a dish thatflopped so bad but you had to
fake so bad?
You had to fake confident.
Serve it confidently.
Serve it like shit.
That didn't work out, like thebutter just wasn't buttering.
Like did you try to servepancakes?

Speaker 4 (54:49):
and you know your pancakes was fucked up because
you said you can't make pancakesand still serve it to them.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
I only put ever.
The things that are on my menuare specialties.
Every single thing is aspecialty.
What's the favorites from A toB?
And I have a lot of stuff on mymenu.
So not really, but there we go.
I had forgot the sauce, oh, andI died because I'm like it's
not nothing without the sauce.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Is that just you saying that because you're your
worst critic, or did the peopleyou were serving feel like that?

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Oh, they won't know, because it's still already
underneath.
The sauce is always going to beseasoned but you have to have
the sauce, okay, to be able toslop it up with that honey
butter garlic roll.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
You just need the sauce.
Did your love for sauce comefrom?
I know you say you're fromBaltimore, but come from I know
when I was in DC that everybodykept talking about mumbo sauce
or something.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
So my menu is very heavily Baltimore induced.
So I do a lot of seafood, a lotof lamb chops.
So I don't know, I just knowthat you need a good ass sauce.
Like, think about it before Icook.
People love a little sauce.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
I love to dip my shit put my bread in the same thing
and go with something else oh,and Chick-fil-a got the best too
.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Chick-fil-a got the best.
You had cheesecake, honeymustard but that.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Blackened ranch from Pope, but that blackened ranch
from Popeye's that blackenedranch from.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
Popeye's Never had that.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
I like sweet.
Oh sweet is good that blackenedranch from.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Popeye's will change your life.
Y'all making everybody hungry.
Y'all know that right About togo ask Everybody starving right
now.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
See we ate?
They didn, they ain't eat.
Y'all talking about food andsauce and shit.
They over here looking at thisshit like y'all need to hurry
this shit up.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
they like it's like one more piece of bacon left.
I know they like I hate thesemotherfuckers I know they are.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
You know what I want to know?

Speaker 3 (56:33):
oh, that's we didn't say the one thing, though, like
you know how, like somebody'slike can you do private?
Dining.
I like to cook for a whole lotof people.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
But why?
Because if that one person isequivalent in payment to all the
people you still want to do aprivate dining.
It won't be.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
You got to think about it.
It takes me so like even justto prepare this took so long we
got to go to the grocery.
It's literally the same process, so I just work a little bit
harder to land more profitable,like more profitable clients, as
opposed to, you know, likenitpicking here and there.
I want quality quality quality.

(57:15):
I want to save somebody.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
I say you catered a whole for 50 people.
And say the tab was saved ahundred thousand, Right.
And say one person say yo, I'mgoing to give you 110,000.
Just cater for me, Do all thatshit for me.
You ain't going to do it.
Yeah, I would but that's justnot realistic.
There's people out there thatwill spend just to watch you be
like.
You know what I like her.
I'll pay you.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
There's simps out there.
They just want to see it on.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
TikTok why you play that.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
I like that noise though I like that noise, it's
just very this is a very, very,very taxing career.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
It's so taxing and you don't understand it, because
you just see, voila, it'sbeautiful and it tastes good,
but it's so much.
You got to prep, that's thehardest part you got to.
Then you gotta cook it, thenyou gotta bring it from the car
in here, then I gotta serve it,make sure there ain't no flies
on it.
It's just a lot that goes intoit.
That's why I don't reallynegotiate prices and I would
much rather offer something forfree, rather than.

(58:20):
A friend asked me my pricesbecause I always tell them I'm
expensive that's how much I cost.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
I cost a whole lot, as it should, yeah and she costs
even more.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
So together we're just very expensive.

Speaker 4 (58:30):
But it takes a lot and you know you're gonna get I
want to touch on because you say, you know, you probably bought
it in here.
I want to touch, touch on whatis the importance of
presentation, because I talkedabout it earlier.
Well, how important ispresentation?
She would know because she'sthe queen of presentation
sometimes I see food, I'll belike that shit look trash.

Speaker 5 (58:45):
I ain't eating that right.
When you look at food, you eatautomatically with your eyes.
First I've seen some dishesthat did not look appeasing but
they taste very well.
But when you already have thatprejudgment in your mind, that's
probably that may affect howyou perceive the taste as well
that's a fact so that's why Isay you want everything to look

(59:07):
neat, just the way anything youwant anything to look neat.
You know your appearance, youknow food and everything.
People always visually what isappeasing to them.
That's the most important.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
So that's why presentation is key Absolutely.
If the cootie look likemeatloaf, it ain't going to
taste like water.
It ain't going to taste likewater.
It ain't going to taste likewater Stay away from the
meatloaf cootie.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Stay away from the meatloaf cootie, but yeah,
presentation.
Even I was asking her whatwould it take for her to scale
up one more time and she saidpresentation.
There's a certain level ofpresentation, like we're
expensive but there are evenmore expensive.
But the only thing thatseparates us is not the quality

(59:48):
of the food, because I'm puttingmy shit up against anybody.
It's the presentation and whatthey see.
You know how you be like damnthe people now that we talking
about it is going to keep oncoming to your timeline.
You like man, it's magical, gotthe smoke all coming out and we
do those, she does those, butit's just this other look where
you can be demanding bigthousands of dollars and that's

(01:00:11):
where we'll I want her to growthere before I do, because I
still I always we joke aboutcirca 2020 when she started and
mine is like circa december.
So I don't want to grow as fastas her because I still got a lot
of you know a lot of learningto do.
I want to kind of get it outthe mud.
Not Jessica was just sellingprivate dentists for 250, and

(01:00:31):
now she is.
I just kind of want to like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
I like where I'm at right now.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Yeah, I got you.
That's what's up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
So do you guys.
Actually, I know you guysprobably do you ever get tired
of cooking?

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Her face had it all to cook it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
Her face had it all.
I probably it depends becausefor the right price, regardless.
I'm a cook.
Um, I would say yeah, one thingis a drawback about being a
chef is that, you know, myfriends are just, you know,
being around people, they bescared to cook for you because
they think that you're going tocritique everything or like,
when you go out to eat, you'regoing to critique everything at
the end of the day.

(01:01:11):
The reason why I'm in this isbecause I love food and I love
good food.
So, yeah, I think my food isthe best, but there is still
good food out there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
So, whether it come from you, you or this restaurant
or whatever, I'm gonna enjoy ityeah, we're not really critical
about you know other people'sfood, like if it's good, it's
good.
You know somebody like oh,you're a chef, so you, yeah, I
ain't worrying about none ofthat.
If it's good, it tastes good, Idon't be like over critical,
because who the fuck want to bearound that person?

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
like if he was gonna cook, just cook right so what is
one ingredients that you can'tnot cook without?

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
I know mine sauce mine is heavy whipping cream oh,
she always no honey honey witheverything, because sometimes
you just gotta sweeten it upyeah, yeah, honey do the trick,
honey do the trick I would saythe seasoning.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
It's that greek seasoning, that greek?
Do y'all know about that Greekseasoning?
No, the green one.
It's in the yellow can, yellowand red.
Yo, the Greek seasoning, withthe chef on it yes, yes, yes,
that seasoning is the shit.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Yo, you could put that on anything.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Anything, I put it on my salmon and it be busted.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Busted and it'd be busted.

Speaker 5 (01:02:22):
Oh, you're doing everything that's seasoning, the
only thing I say that don'tneed a lot of seasoning, that
you wouldn't put it on, is eggs.
Yeah, you don't need that.
I don't like when you'reputting paprika, garlic powder,
all that stuff, having your eggstasting like a steak and all of
that.
I just need salt and pepper andbutter.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
That's it.
Do you put milk in your eggswhen you're?

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
cooking Half eggs.
When you're cooking Half andhalf yes, make it fluffy.
And cheese.
I always love eggs with cheese.
I like cheese, period Cheesewith anything I gotta have, like
my meat, my vegetable andsomething cheesy with every meal
.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
So before I take y'all down and around with this
next topic get ready.
If you were not cooking?
What would you do If you wasn'tbeing a chef?
What would you do if you wasn'tbeing a chef?
What would you rather do?

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
I'd sell medical devices.
I'm going, whatever I do.
I want to do somethinglucrative where I do not.
Where there's a need and Idon't have to beg you to buy it,
I'll be, selling to surgeons,endoscopic labs.
Just, I would only be sellingsomething that has the highest
profit margin, because that'sall I care about is profit
margin.
So yeah, I'd be a medicaldevice sales rep.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
That's some crazy shit I never heard that shit Yo
like what the fuck, I'm going tosell some fucking medical
devices, man.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
That's crazy.
Oh, because I thought aboutgoing back to work and then I'm
like somebody called like Janiceis getting married.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
I'm like oh, all right, it's gonna be 100 people
right, and I'm like, oh, I don'tneed no money for that month
because I got janice.
Yeah, so, yep.
So when did you know like itwas that time to kind of step
away from corporate america andkind of like, take faith out of
yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
oh no, it wasn't faith.
I got fired from corporateamerica and I just said I ain't
going, that that was in 2019,and I tried, because there's
something about working a 9 to 5where you feel like you're a
little bit more productive.
But I'm like I do not want tobe begging somebody for my time
off, like I only got one moreday, so I just want to travel

(01:04:19):
and I don't need to make a wholelot of money.
I don't have a whole lot ofbills, so I just keep my car

(01:17:20):
and they washed up too, Can Icome and interview people?
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
I think that's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
Can we come and?

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
interview people.
I think that's a great idea.
Yeah, everybody.
It seems like everybody in heretrying to figure out what their
party is, what their role is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
We are good.
Our advisory team is real small, don't?

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
let these people talk .
I need my ticket.
Do y'all have any security?
Yes, we do.
Hell yeah, we have security.
Hell yeah, I'm security, I'msecurity.
Do you see this man right herein the corner?
That is security, security.
Oh, will tell me You're acomedian host, though, don't you
?

Speaker 5 (01:17:57):
That's me, you ain't hosting you branching.
She already said she hosted.
Oh, so we're not in thecompetition.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
No, oh y'all not in the competition, so they just
showing up.

Speaker 4 (01:18:05):
You can't be.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Yeah, that would be, yeah, we can't be, because when
I dust them, like I said, Iain't finished.
That's going to be an easymoney.
I'm super creative.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
And she is super creative.
I want somebody else.
I challenge another chef to puton a competition.
That's what I want, because Iwant to be in it.
You better talk that shit.
Or just somebody to put it on.
You can just be a businessowner and just have a mind to
make money and do it.
That may be something good thatyou could do, because you

(01:18:36):
already have.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
You just doing.
You may be a good.
That may be something good thatyou could do because you
already have.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
You just need to be able to barter with somebody
that's going to give you thespace.
That's it, that's really it,because the tickets are sell.
People love to eat.
It just has to be enticing,though the pricing of the
tickets had to be reasonableright like yes, you couldn't be
you couldn't go above a certainamount, and it's like that.
That's why 50, you know, 50 isthe new 25.
Well, 25 is the.
50 is a good price.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
It's like comfortable , especially for two.
That's for two, right?
No, that's for one.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
If you buy two, wait, let me tell you, I listen
because my girl said that it's65 for one, but if you buy more
than one then the price will godown to $50.

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
So $50 per person if you buy more than one.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
You got to think Niggas be paying like $60, $70
to get in the club and then gotto pay for food when they get in
the club Right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
And drinks and drinks .

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
So you spend $65 to eat good and you get unlimited.
You can't beat that.
It's just a great value becausewe just want to do it, to say
that we've done it.
You know, like you know that,because then you just don't know
what's in there that somebodymay see us and just love the
idea.
It's just a good idea becauseit's our goal to do another one,
though, like we want to do thisevery six months.
We want to do tell them aboutsome of the other topics around
the world cuisines.

Speaker 5 (01:19:57):

My grandmother used to say thisall the time that the best
ingredients to food is love, andnever, it never cook while you
angry because your food don'tturn out nasty.
Oh, that is a rule that I havelived by.
If you're not in the mood tocook, don't cook, because your
food gonna be nasty but, lovewill always make your food taste

(01:28:07):
good, no matter how I agree,yeah, so my grandmother always
told me you never cook while youare angry and the best
ingredients.
Because my grandmother used tocook like throw down.
We used to have soul foodSundays.
I'm from Camden, new Jersey, soright across the bridge from
Philadelphia, before I came tothe country Now I'm country as

So either you was going to beskinning some potatoes or you
was a bartender at like six forthe uncles, you know, watching

are angry, and the favoriteingredients and the most best
ingredients is love.
