So today we got, uh, my buddy annabelle, who I've
known since what?
2006, I guess that sounds rightyeah, so we went to the same
high school.
I actually ended up workingtogether.
This dude was my manager for abit.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
What high school was that?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
actually Bethesda Chevy Chase.
Okay, bcc, bcc.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I was 08.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You were what 05.
05.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
That's right, I'm an old guy.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That's what's up.
All right, all right.
But no, Anibal and I, we'vebeen doing moves together for a
while.
He's been pretty instrumentalin my music career, just
pointing me in the rightdirection, and recently he's
been doing some really coolstuff in the film industry,
specifically reality TV.
So you know, I'm going to passit to you, man, how has your
summer been?
You were on a shoot, right?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, no, so I just wrapped on Real Housewives of
Potomac, potomac, potomac.
So I was really thankful to beon something local and arguably
probably one of the biggerproductions in the area.
Yeah, definitely, because youdon't really hear much of
anything other thandocumentaries and political ads
(02:06):
and whatnot, which is hugearound here.
But to be part of somethingwhere I could go home, that was
amazing and I'm very lucky youguys love talking about politics
.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
No, quick, quick, quick question I try to avoid it
at all costs, but they love ityeah, so quick question what
network it is?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
this is bravo, okay, all Just letting the listeners
know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, no, I've been lucky to be employed through
Truly, which is the productioncompany that makes like 13 or so
different reality shows.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's ridiculous, yeah .
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I was a post-PA so I worked on like 10 different
shows at once, and then SummerHouse last year, Real Housewives
this year.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, real Housewives .
That's one of the biggeststaples in reality TV.
I feel like it's a top one.
There's been so many versionsfor so many years.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
This is season 9, so there's definitely a following.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
There's already been 9 seasons of Potomac.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We just wrapped 9.
And Atlanta's gotta befollowing.
And people that watch Hold on.
There's already been nineseasons of Potomac.
This is we just wrapped nine,wow.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And Atlanta's got to be like in the 20s right, no, no
, that's a 14, 15.
14, 15,.
Okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And then I guess what it started off in New York,
right?
Or?
What's the history of it?
Oh man, I wish I could tell you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I believe the first one's either, atlanta being that
it's 14.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Or California or something like that, or Orange
County or New York.
That's right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Those would definitely be the long-standing
ones, but Potomac found someground.
I know, dubai just found someground, whoa.
And then Salt Lake City isanother big one.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy man, so I guess you're
touching on pretty much Potomac,but Hold on.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Hold.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh, my bad no.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry we're forgetting,because, oh yeah.
I forgot to ask no, no, it'sall good, it's all good, it's
all good.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
This is my first time hosting.
No, I get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I get it, I get it, but you know, I got your back, I
got your back.
There we go, so now go ahead,and you know go ahead and take
it Now.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Take it, no, yeah, no .
So now that we've done theintroduction and everything, we
do have a part of theintroduction for the podcast, us
being Absolute DMV.
So it's basically like whatmakes you a card-carrying member
of the DMV, Something that youreally like, that the DMV really
rocks with as far as a culturalstandpoint or an artistic
(04:25):
standpoint, and you, being a DCnative, you know I'm sure
there's a lot of things thatyou're immersed in with the
culture, but is there anythingthat you particularly identify
with that kind of makes you liketruly DMV?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's a tough question but I think I'd speak
to the whole melting pot of thewhole area just because I grew
up son of a housekeeper but wentto BCC, which is one of the
more affluent public highschools in the area, absolutely.
So I was super lucky to be ableto come home and have Latin food
(05:02):
on my table but go to a prettynice high school and school and
otherwise and be around peoplethat I probably wouldn't be
around otherwise.
You know what I mean, and beingin a diverse area definitely
helps you grow up more balanced.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I mean I'm sorry to cut you off, but.
I know BCC was the first placethat I ever in high school
played on a turf field.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
No, no no see, and when we went you don't kind of
realize that right, yeah you getgrow up um and looking back,
super fortunate, uh no and uhyeah I would just say that
melting pot aspect being able togrow up around different people
from every different background.
Yeah, Something I ask peoplefrom the area is this is how I
(05:51):
know you're from the DMV.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Okay, what was the name of Six Flags before?
It was Six Flags and Bowie oh,oh man.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Hershey Park.
No, no, no, no, no, hersheyPark is still Hershey Park, I
know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Fuck around.
Oh oh man, Hershey Park no.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No no, no, hershey Park is still Hershey.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Park, I know oh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, that's history.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
That's history.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
No, because at this point I feel like Six Flags has
been there for like 25 years.
It's been there for a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
You know what's so funny?
I couldn't even afford it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My parents, couldn't even to go there.
You're as old as I am.
There's at least one or twonames, at least in your head.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I never I know I never went to Six Flags like
that as a kid.
You, son of a bitch, I know.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But I watched all the TV commercials with the old guy
dancing.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No, it was the cheapest one dude, I know.
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm trying to think of what it was got me messed up,
yeah, adventure world I wasgonna say adventure world,
because I think they have anadventure world.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
There's an adventure park usa which is not far away
at all, yes, but adventure worldhey, thank you, thank you as
people, thank you animaldropping, jibs amen no no, no,
that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know what I'm saying.
He flipped the dmv card on us.
I like that.
I love that.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
That being said so, you said the mixing pot is one
of your cards.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, man, just being able to diversity, there's no
like foods or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So you travel pretty much around the United States.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's what a man is my mama's food.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
My mama's food, my mama's food.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
There's no wrong answer there.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
My mama, there's no wrong answer there.
My mom and the food that thewomen cook.
My mom, you're right, you'reright.
But uh, and then the next?
What takes the card away?
Yeah, yeah, is there somethingthat would not be conducive with
dmv?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
culture like you don't rock with something that
is exclusively dmv.
Oh, I don't know, I like that.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
He's so dmv I'm so dmv there's nothing.
I'm so dmv bro I mean say thequestion again.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So like is there something, um, that is like a
dmv staple or something that'sreally big as part of the, the
culture or, you know, fashion orsomething, or I don't like that
you don't like you know that isa staple, like a dm, a
traditional food from the dmv oryou know
Speaker 1 (08:14):
you don't like rombo sauce, yeah, or?
Something like that or yeah,you don't rock new balances or
something like that, why y'allkeep shooting at me Is that a.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I've never owned a pair of New Balances in my life.
Well is that a DC thing?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
New Balances are, I guess, very much a big DC thing
Very much.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I see them a lot, 990 .
I didn't know it was a DC thing, it's a huge.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
A lot of people want to argue with us, especially
Baltimore, but nah, it's a DCthing.
But nah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
DC thing.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's a DC thing.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's a DC thing, you'll see some real DC, like if
you go to a Go-Go, I see a lot.
If you go to a Go-Go, you'llsee.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Am I tripping dude?
New balances are like $200.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They got really expensive.
I remember in the Seinfeld daysthat you should just be like
dad shoes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I used to Remember there were only like two, three
models.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So that and we bought classics.
Right Back in the day we boughtclassics no everybody had the
same model.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You were lucky to have two or three different
colors, but everybody had thesame joints.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I mean most people had the solid, gray, the solid
gray.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, solid and blues , and it was $9.90, $9.91, $9.92
.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't even know.
Yeah, 991-992.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't even know For someone who don't like New
Balances.
You know a lot about it.
He's a sneakerhead, I'm asneakerhead.
Yeah, I'm a sneakerhead, so Iknew about him.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Honestly at the time, because the most popular ones
were the solid gray ones.
That was just actually so plainto me.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I saw those and the white ones.
Yeah, I couldn't rock them.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Super, super plain, and that's what I'm saying.
They were super plain at thetime, and during that time was
once again, I'm a little olderDuring that time was during the
whole Michael Jordan coming outwith three colors on his shoe,
getting fined and that being thefly shit out.
So I grew up on Jordans.
You know what I'm saying.
I didn't grow up on the solidgray running shoe.
(10:06):
I grew up on the multicoloredbasketball shoe and that's what
I still wear.
So you know what I'm saying.
It's nothing against NewBalance.
I just rock with Nikes and Irock with.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Jordans more.
I'll wait until we get asponsor for New Balance.
I would love it.
I love New Balance.
I'll wait until we get asponsor for New.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Balance.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I would love it.
I love New Balance.
I love it.
They're fire.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
New Balance, if you see this holler at your boy.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I would love it.
I'm open to rocking.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
New Balance.
We're for a sponsorship.
Speaker 3 (10:39):

They're awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:44):

Speaker 1 (10:45):
So yeah, hold your boy down, please, yeah he'll

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I want a pair, just you know I'm ready for a pair.
You know I will buy you some,I'm ready for a pair no, did I
will.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
No, that was cute, that was cute.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Shut up.
He said I'll buy you shoes, Iknow stop, stop.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I said no.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'll buy you shoes.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And I'll take them.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Go shopping.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I will take them.
There ain't no shame in my game.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Fuck y'all, but yeah, so Anything like that that you
don't rock with.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, no, I don't think there's something I don't
rock with but, I will say I wasnot agreeing.
I didn't like gogo for a verylong time.
I didn't like it for a verylong time until, and why.
You know it's just a differentlive music sound, yeah, uh,
which you know.
(11:45):
I just wasn't digging untillike more and more recently.
Shout out to Scoob that my dudethis past season he was rocking
some go-go in the van and Ihave no choice but to listen.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You had no choice to change it, but no.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I kind of liked it because I've heard some songs
over the years, right, that Ilike, I've always remembered and
I'll always hear.
You know where I'm like, ohshit, that's Go-Go.
And I've heard these songsoutside of the DMV and I'm like
oh shit.
And now I'm like, oh man, no,this is good, this is different.
It's like an artistic type ofstyle.
It's style which I have come toappreciate.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
it's super unique.
Yeah, yeah, it's always.
It's like a snowflake, it'sdifferent every time you hear it
.
Yeah, absolutely true.
Um, I mean, my favorite part iswhen, uh and I'm terrible for
this forgetting the band's nameand shorty's name northeast
groovers no, not that backyardband.
No, shorty who did uh pieces ofMe took over Ashley Simpson's
song.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't even want to hear Ashley Simpson's song.
So you know, I told my dude.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Scoob Pieces of Me is a go-go song.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I told my dude Scoob this and he's like I didn't even
know that was a real song.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, it is.
Shout out to Scoob, shout outto Scoob.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That was dope.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's interesting you say that because I had a
conversation with someone nottoo long ago which was basically
the same thing.
They didn't really like Go-Gountil they listened to an actual
album from a Go-Go artist, likethe actual studio album.
The thing that I realized isthat a lot of the radio stations
like 93.9, 95.5, will play thelive versions late at night.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
That's the only time I've ever heard them.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, and go-go does not necessarily translate very
well as a live recordingespecially on the radio, because
, well, to a regular listener,but also because there's so much
Go-go head that's all they likelooking for.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
True, but to a kid listening to 97 or what 99,
whatever a kid.
Growing up in high schoolyou're like, oh, that's kind of
different.
I don't know if I like that butjust if I'm not from that area?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
no, I wasn't.
Yeah, I was from bethesda.
I didn't hear that, but that'sit.
Yeah, you were on the outskirts.
Yeah, I didn't hear that Ididn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
No, I mean I grew up and I grew up on Go-Go.
I was in the Mad Chef.
You know what I'm saying.
We were going over to places.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Rockville.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sportsplex, all that other stuff.
We was in all in places.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Big up to Young.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Shout out to.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Rockville.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Light Skin Black Light.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Skin Black actually expresses he's a Go-Go head.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying we was in all them
places so we got to experiencethe culture, the good.
When you in there it's hotEverybody having fun.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It was all about love .
Ladies in there shaking, Ithink you leave you having a
great time dancing.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Good time, but then also the bad when the lady was
shaking too hard on you and herman or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
You know what I'm saying and now you got to deal
with it outside.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But, once again, that's all part of the culture.
That's what you dealt with,that's what you did.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But I think that you know, being in a live go-go show
has an awesome energy.
But then I think just sonicallyand just for the amount of
bandwidth in the frequency theradio cannot capture that
because you got so muchproduction and percussion and
the live vocals it's just a lotand back of the day, like when
we were growing up no one hadlike Bose systems in their cars,
(15:18):
like that all the time.
Like it was like radios havegotten a lot better back in the
day you just couldn't hearenough so it sounded very
muffled.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But that's the thing we weren't listening to.
Go, go for the sound quality,hey man, your dad exclusively
listens to live music you knowso like you should.
That's, that's someone livemusic, live instrumentation,
things like that, like when it'sgeared for recording.
Yeah, that's a whole differentstory and that's the thing.
(15:47):
Go goes not geared forrecording.
Go go is we're playing and youjust happen to be recording it
like we got originally.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
You know, I'm saying yeah, so they never actually got
a really answer.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like I say, never got a chance to dig in a chance,
but but now in the beginning.
Yeah, in the beginning it therewas.
There was never that.
We're in the studio making this.
You know what I'm saying andwe're gearing it for it to be a
recording.
It was now we're live on stage.
Yeah, we're partying, we'recranking and that's what we're
doing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So and I think it's one of those things where it can
be geared to it, if you knowthat ahead of time, just because
, like, unlike a band or arapper or something, you've got
a couple different mics going onfor a couple different
instruments.
But most bands are like rockbands and everything are like
four or five, you know sixpieces.
Go-go bands can get up to seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve.
You know you got multiplepeople.
(16:41):
You're thinking too hard.
I'm just saying you, I'm justsaying to make it sound good
from a live perspective, it canbe done.
You just need the mic.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
So that's how when gogo came out was not just like
hip-hop, like it wasn't meant togo the mainstream.
What it did, sure, and that'sthe thing about it when gogo's
out, it was like house partythings.
It was really it was meant forcelebration of the hood.
And then people heard, like Isaid, that's why they had
(17:09):
cassette tapes and things likethat, because it was played on,
they recorded on some like Bobosystem, yeah, and then, of
course, the only time you canhear Go-Go from that and that's
why you notice how many Go-Gohad so many tape not even like
events.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It had nights like, like had dates on it, then
that's what it was, because itwasn't at a venue like yeah
that's what was played on theradio but, that's the only time
it was made, because that waslive or whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I see, eventually they were like yo, this is
really a a big thing of dc, andthat's when they started like,
all right, let's make it moreyou have to figure out how to
record this and figure out howto package it, and that's what
I'm saying.
So like it evolved sure, sureyou were thinking about it like
now all right, this is how it is, and that's what I'm just I
remember like I remember thosetape times and I was like, oh my
(17:54):
god, did you got the?
You got the five, uh, five, uh.
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
five.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, the 520 01s or whatever, and that's what it was
the name of.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, so but I think that
that's probably why, to someextent, gogo doesn't necessarily
resonate with non-gogolisteners.
Yeah, because like they don'tknow the backstory but they hear
the mix quality or somethingand it doesn't quite pop for
them on the radio, whereas nowmodern gogo- that was animal
yeah like people used to saypots and pans like.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's what it sounds like oh yeah, you know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's a little jarring you don't understand it and I
mean, but if you are of thatculture, if you are in that
culture, then yeah and like yousaid it took you some time
because you were from bethesda,to get into that culture yeah,
yeah you know'm saying I don'twant to harp on that, but go
ahead.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But not only is it live, it's a cover and it does
sound that first pot and pansound type of sound, that
backyard sound.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, the congos, the congos, the congos and
everything yeah and it's gotgreat energy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've loved, and a lot of you know, mediums and it's
just, it's got a good uh, anundeniable energy.
That constant percussionthroughout the song.
It makes it really hard not tojust bop your head and it makes
it easier to, just for listening.
No, it's really dope.
But, um, all right, cool.
Now we got the dmv card yeah,settled.
V-card yeah, settled, yeah.
Back to reality TV.
So very important questionYou've been on set for how many
(19:31):
shoots now?
Two seasons of shows, of shows,okay.
So you've had two differentshows, two different casts.
You've been on set in personseeing the filming process, the
behind the scenes, yep, you know, seeing the people on camera,
off camera, yep, are the people,are the stars On camera?
Like, does the camera turn onand do they kind of change, like
(19:51):
the way?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
they speak a little bit, or is it?
Are they fake?
Fake ass?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I know you can't say everything, but no, no, I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, I'll be honest.
No, I don't think they're fake,I think it's like anybody.
That becomes Like steps intoentertainment.
You kind of turn yourself up abit.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Oh, amplified.
Yeah, and to turn yourself up abit oh, amplified, yeah, and I
think that's the only way itworks for you because, who wants
to?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
watch you if you're just yeah, it's just a regular
dude.
Uh, you know I'll watch a lotof wrestling.
I'm a wrestling nerd oh yeah,so you're bringing that in the
big amplify, yeah I mean, yougotta turn yourself up in order
for people to want to payattention to you, bad or good.
So, yeah, people will turntheirself up.
Are they fake?
No, yeah, uh, definitely not.
But do they turn theirself upand let like kind of loose, kind
(20:42):
of get loose a little bit?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
yes, yeah, but nothing it's kind of like that
news reporter vibe, like you gotto say it with affect to make
it interesting to people.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Just you know, kind of hear you out and everything
no, I'm, I'm not saying fake asin like it's two different
personalities.
I'm saying that, like you said,amplify it, because the network
is saying you have to amplifyit.
Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
like the way they will Put some sauce on it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, some sauce on it for the viewers, but they're
most likely like once you saycut, they're not that Like.
Once you say cut, they're notthat Like that's what I was
saying.
Yeah, no, I wouldn't say soharshly, like oh yeah, yeah, and
then no, they're like no, no,no no.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Again, they just turn themselves up.
They just can become more loose.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I would say An introvert can kind of get
extroverted.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, you definitely want to be introverted.
You don't want to beintroverted on camera and be on
camera.
Yeah, it's stressful, unlessthey're hiding it real good.
You know, I don't know that,but they've all been nice to me.
Everybody was cool, no badpeople.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
So there's no like in the back, like okay, I guess.
I don't know NDA, but mostlikely saying Cruella de Vil
type of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Divas on set, kind of like, or somebody was on like
you know, you know, like nothard to work with, like I have
heard people be harsh, yeah,okay, I have not witnessed that.
Okay, to be honest, I've againlike going into summer house.
I did hear there's a, you knowthere are people that can people
certain people that can berough.
Yeah, on potomac housewives.
(22:08):
I mean, come on these, thesewomen have been through it all.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, they're supposed to be like-end Again.
They're supposed to perceivethemselves like they're strong,
yeah, strong, independent.
They're doing their things.
And that's what I was saying,not saying fakeness, but most
likely they have to show theimage that they're above the
normal.
That's the reason why the showis what the show is.
Yeah, potomac is not Bethesda.
(22:31):
What the show is yeah, asPotomac is not Bethesda, potomac
is not Rockville, potomac isabove that, and that's what I'm
saying, and I mean I'm sure thatin certain situations they give
them a little bit of alcohol tohelp.
Oh, yeah, are they drinking?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Let's get it in.
And so I'll be honest.
You know, I'm more of like thetechnical side, like the camera
side, so, um, I was reallydigging into that, so that what
you're talking about would bemore producer side of them, kind
of.
So what, what I?
What I can say is, like youknow, let's say, uh, two cast
members are talking.
(23:05):
A producer will kind of bringup, hey, mention, remember,
mention, remember, remember.
When you said this hey, justbring that up, okay, okay, just
to kind of steer if things arekind of getting boring too.
Yeah, if they're just likeMention.
Remember when you said this hey, just bring that up, okay.
Okay, just to kind of steer Ifthings are kind of getting
boring too, if they're just likeDead air kind of shit Dead air
right you want the producersneed something.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So hey, mention this real quick, push this, you know,
talk about that, oh okay, butnothing is ever scripted like yo
read this yeah is ever scriptedlike yo read this, yeah, and
then talk talk about that, okaylet's read this.
That is never a thing I did.
I have no.
I have heard that be a thing ofthe past.
Like for other shows, yeah, um,but I have not.
(23:45):
There's no scripting, all theywill say.
If things get kind of boring,when things aren't kind of like,
yeah, bleeding anywhere, theywill say hey, so quick question
on that then.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, uh, technically like so how many takes?
Because I've been when I was inla, like I said when I was in
la, you know there's a scriptand they'll keep doing until you
get it right the way, thereality.
Do they stop and say, all right, that sound, that looked awful.
No, I need you.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Well, it's no takes it's almost like like exactly so
yeah, it's almost like jerseysoar, essentially like, or
they've got like multiplecameras on these people.
It's what you think realityshow is real.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's what you would hope.
It is right like no cameras areon you all the time they're
filming him.
Yeah, and there's no takes.
I will say there are some timeswhere like, uh, you know,
producers will catch you, make alittle smirk, look at well,
it's just funny because I'mtrying to, you know, be be light
here, but it's like it's justfunny, because you'll catch
people on, you know, beingfilmed, kind of like talk about
(24:45):
something and then the producerswill kind of look at each other
like she's kind of lying, ohwhy, why are they talking about?
that you know okay so you know,I don't again.
I don't really know backstoryor what's happening you're not a
part of, but I will noticethese kind of looks like hey,
why is it?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
that makes sense.
If they're filming everything,then they know the truth about
well the producers would know alot about these, yeah all the
research at least, at least whenthey're on the clock for the
show there, and some of them.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I know these people throughout the seasons, so
they're actually pretty close tothese individuals so they know
a lot.
So when someone's not kind oflike is maybe lying, they'll be
like yo why are you?
Lying.
So I think that's interestingjust to kind of see those
relationships between productionand the cast.
I find that to be veryinteresting.
Yeah, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Okay, I find that to be very interesting.
Yeah, well, seeing the innerworkings of a couple shows and
being on set and dealing withthe post production and
everything, and seeing just howmuch time being someone who is
being filmed, like how much thattakes out of you and how
draining that can be.
Is there a reality show thatyou would choose to be on?
(25:53):
Is there, like I guess, onemore than the other?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And then there's a second part when you pick, hmm,
well, if I had a fantasy pick,it would be like the old Jersey
Shore.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But yeah, that's a fantasy.
You and I used to watch it.
That was crazy.
That's a fantasy.
Imagine that.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Imagine being on that .
Dude, that's a fantasy.
Imagine that.
Imagine being on that like that.
That's so cool man it was liveand it was peak.
Things happened peak housereality bro, I don't think
anyone knew the term Guidobefore that do you think the
same thing about real world too?
Do you think that?
At that time yeah in thatmoment, I mean when Jersey
happened.
It was on the decline yeah, butI I mean when Jersey happened.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
it was on the decline .
Yeah, exactly, but I did watchReal World growing up.
Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I was going to say I'm one of those Real World Road
Rules challenge type people.
Not anymore, but at the time,At the time I was on that show,
I was like man and man, theycranked those shows out still.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I don't watch them, but they're on Challenge 48.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
They're still doing.
They are doing.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, I'm not familiar but I did watch a lot
of seasons of real world.
No, yeah, maybe like the first13, 15, maybe, I don't even know
, but a few because it alsobecause they went around the
world.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
They went around the world and when they went around
it was like weird to see our agepretty much because technically
that was our age and it wouldbe like acting a fool.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You know what camera you know what it was.
Was what pre-internet dude?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
yeah, well, that too.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah, that was like people were just outside living,
not inside the whole time.
Everything, everything.
People didn't know everything,yeah everything they did online.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It was going out like it was like, they're like
they'll be in the house andthey're like we're going out
tonight.
It's amazing and they'll allget ready and then some drama
happens.
Somebody get drunk and they'llbe in the house and they're like
we're going out tonight.
It was amazing and they'll allget ready and then some drama
happens.
Somebody gets drunk and they'llcome back and there'll be some
more drama.
That's how it was.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Well, internet also made everybody know-it-alls and,
like everybody knows everything, I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So like pre-internet.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Everybody came from their cities, didn't know shit
about nothing, yeah, and thenyou literally put them in a
house.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I think I thought that was great, it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That was great.
You can't do that now no yeah.
Because you know somethingabout every city yeah Right, or
you're influenced by there.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yeah, you see it in all.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
But back then, bro, it was just raw people from raw
cities.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
That's a good point, right, that's a really good
point.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And from a controversy standpoint, like for
drama and everything.
Like if you got a bunch ofpeople in a house and they don't
have any smartphones or anytablets or anything like that,
Well, they still don't have TVsand whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
They don't allow those.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Okay, but when people go out, I think they do allow
phones.
Okay, phones, but okay.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Oh, so you're allowed to have your phone on set or
not?
Oh well for our stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah Okay, I don't know about others, but yeah,
okay, you're not going to tellthe housewives to put their
phone away.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
No, they're going to have their phones.
I thought it was kind of likethat.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They got kids too.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm saying but while they're shooting, I don't see
them sitting there while you'reshooting?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
they don't.
I don't see them like sittingthere while you're yeah, they're
not rude, like you know likescrolling through instagram no,
no, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, but they're, they definitely have their
phones available.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, they are not, they're, they're professionals
okay yeah, they figured it yeah,that makes sense then, yeah,
yeah, all right, so jersey shoreis your, and if I could, work
on something now, though.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I don't know, I don't even watch that much reality,
but it's it's weird now, likethe way it's very weird the way
reality is like, even like I wastelling my girl like 90 day
fiancee that's very popular.
Yeah, love is blind is reallybig too but it's the one of the
biggest things off of that, likekind of like reality, yeah, and
(29:32):
that's I don't know, I feelit's not the best.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I would love to do man remember when Vice was
killing it.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Oh, in the beginning.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Man, I was just working with someone who was
working at Vice during the peakof Vice.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Well, that's when Vice was really like Vice Land
and their were killing it man.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
If I could work on something and be fucking.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
that's delicious so what do you think happened like
something like that thathappened in Viceland?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh, I know a little bit.
So I just worked on Potomac.
My PM worked on Viceland, atthe peak of Viceland.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And he just said people were spending money and
just not doing well.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
For the production.
It wasn't really doing it forthe production it well, or, you
know, not for the production itwasn't really doing it for the
production, it was more moneyliterally.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
He said it was just money being spent, just money
for and people would.
He said people would come andask to go to a certain city.
They wouldn't even ask you whywrite a check or buy you a
ticket.
Bam and that was it, and thenthey wouldn't shoot anything for
it I don't know what happenedafter but he would just tell me
like people were able, were ableto like take flights wherever
they wanted, and it just soundslike money was just being spent
(30:36):
without being able to like youknow, no one's controlling it.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I can believe it because Vice was one of my
favorite channels.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Their content was great.
They had the show with damn, Iforget his name.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I'm so sorry.
Rest in peace to homie From theWire, from the Wire From the
Wire yeah, oh man.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Black Market, oh yeah .
I love that show he used totravel See that's a show.
That's a great show.
I would work on that show.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
But then also they had a lot of them it was called
considered like a Black Marketnetwork kind of like they were
doing outside the norm yeah,they would talk about stuff no
one else would touch exactly,and that's what I think was the
issue because again, they werepushing the envelope.
I loved it huge at the time ofsocial media, so like at that
time it was work.
I mean they even had what's theguy?
(31:24):
Who's the rapper?
White rapper, axl Ronson.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Axl Ronson oh yeah, if I could work on that show,
it'd be that show.
That show was ridiculous.
That was a really cool show.
I love that show.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
When he was going around pretty much talking, yeah
, and it was him and hishomeboys pretty much, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
No, my favorite show then was Most Expensivest.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh yeah, Two.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Chains 2 Chainz used to get so One episode where he
got so high on the show where hecouldn't really do the show.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
No more.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I was like yo, that's the greatest thing ever.
What other network would allowthat?
That's the greatest thing everbro, that's the one I loved
about Vice.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
There's that one show where the white dude did all
the drugs and recorded himself.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Who's gonna do that All the different ones right
Like one at a time, right likeone at a time.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
No network had that and that and the thing about it
I think it was.
It was getting too popular andyou said the money was so spent
and then they were like this isnot, makes no sense.
I'm not making any money out ofit.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
The thing that sucks is that, like a lot of their
like, like vice news and stuff,which I think what for the most
part was like I mean, in a lotof ways I got most of my news
from them.
You know they were like theywere touching stuff that no one
else was touching and I thinkthat's something that nowadays
everyone has a political spin,or even if it's not political,
there's a presentation that theoutlet sort of wants to follow.
(32:43):
So it's very rare to get just araw factual sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Speaking of the fall of Viceland, I don't know if
anybody was hip growing up to G4.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
well, I fucking loved g4 g4 is my shit because g4
used to have a america, notninja warrior, on it.
Yeah, yeah, original yeah butso they.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
A few years ago they did a big reboot and it was only
on youtube, which was veryweird to me and it was
completely funded by comcast.
Comcast bought the rights.
They were like all in, theyspent tons of money, they bought
out like a warehouse, theyoutfitted it out, six studio and
then they spent tons of moneyon like big uh, internet
(33:30):
influencer, youtubers and likethat's a lot of.
They were like pumping moneyout, dude, pumping money, but no
one's watching because no oneheard of it.
No one heard of it because whyit was only on youtube and for a
company like comcast to not putit on a network.
Yeah, made to me.
(33:50):
I was like what I think?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I'm watching it and I'm watching the channel.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Might as well put it on your own distribution your
own distribution and you don'tput it on at least what they
call.
They have these fast channelsnow, which is what I was talking
about earlier, where they justhave, like those free channels
on the Samsung.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
TV.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Those are called fast channels.
Yeah, throw it on that jointPeople will watch.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I was watching, like freebie, I'll watch them.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I'll watch Ninja Warrior, so they get a hit to
count.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know where count.
So many people are watchinglike, only like.
Thousands are watching.
I'm like damn, this is goodstuff and I missed it, man.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And then the Warrior.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Then they had another joke that was kind of like
Cheaters remember Cheaters, ohCheaters, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And Cops All Day, the bloopers game where, like
people would be doing theobstacle course, yeah, yeah, and
it was dubbed.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
it was dubbed MXC, mxc, mxc.
Yeah, maxim.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Extreme Challenge yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I love it.
I love it.
I think they changed it toWipeout.
I think it's.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wipeout.
Well now, yeah, now it's softand Wipeout, but they were
fucking.
They were fucking motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I just remember it was like a real show that was
taped in another country.
Yeah, it was all Japanese andwith the white dudes were just
like real stupid commentators.
They were like fry thecontestants.
Oh, this dude is ugly.
He's not going to make it veryfar.
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So I missed it.
They fucking failed at thisreboot.
I wanted it to work so bad andit did not.
If they would have promoted itbetter, then I would have
definitely supported it.
Well, I was watching it becauseI'm close to the nerd shit and
I was following the reboot, andthey were hiring people as
influencers.
And as a wrestling fan, theyhad got my boy, xavier Woods,
(35:36):
who's a wrestler from the NewDay, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, he was one of thepersonalities, so I was like, oh
shit, it's gonna be tight, it'sgonna be tight, and then a year
goes by and no growth ishappening and I'm just like fuck
what is happening.
I loved it.
I couldn't watch all of itbecause I'm not a youtube dude,
but I'll leave it on my tv ifit's a channel.
(35:57):
I'm just like that.
I'm just an old dude, I'llwatch that.
But they just didn't do itright, man.
It's really interesting that,real disappointing as a youtube
channel only they were hoping togear towards the young crowd,
and it just didn't work but Ijust I think it's so crazy
because if it's sponsored bycomcast, comcast has so much
money.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
They're a huge conglomerate.
You know, did youtube like pushit on their like discovery page
at all?
Like, if you just open upyoutube blank, you know, without
blogging in or anything,there'll be videos like
suggested ones like they airedlive.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
They aired live on youtube.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I don't know, I feel like there was a lot yeah
youtube has a lot of differentways of trying to trying to
compete with the other ones,like you know, like hulu has the
same thing and yeah that's so Ithink it is.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
There's so much space for that type of content.
It is, but it's sooversaturated.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Like there's so much option.
Who's talking games?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Who's talking games?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Nerd culture.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
But the idea behind it for me is.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
If you want to bring it back out, why don't market to
the people that used to watchit?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
So go back to yeah, Millennials.
Dude, why didn't they do that?
Mark it to the people that usedto watch it?
I'm angry.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
That's the other thing is they're trying to
market it to Gen Zers.
But Gen Zers are not playingthe type of games they're
playing Fortnite and stuff andsome of that just doesn't
translate to life.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
All the influencers.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
I didn't know any of them Okay so, that being said,
what do you think?
What app?
Plenty of them, okay.
So, that being said, what doyou think?
What app if us, our generation,gen Z or whatever, what do you
think they're going to watchthat the reboots at?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
If it had to be an app like an Amazon Prime or
Netflix or something.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Slash network that will like Well right now.
Netflix is going into live atthe end of the year with some
sports.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, of course now.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And then Max has live sports.
Yep, yeah, um, so it'shappening.
Live content is happening.
Doesn't disney have espn?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
yeah but disney is kind of like movies and things
like that, so it's like but, yes, they have espn, that's what
she's saying yeah, so, yeah, sothink about it like uh,
paramount plus, but you'retalking live content on disney,
thinking about old, old stuff,reboot, so like say, if you want
to reboot a old classic orsomething to bring back right
and you want to get those sameviewers, like I remember, like I
(38:08):
said, paramount did bring outthe real world, like for one
minute, a hot minute, theyliterally showed all the old
real worlds or whatever.
Yeah, and even now they haveall the older shows.
Well, well, comcast would bePeacock.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I mean, that's what I'm saying, but that would be
terrible, but still as much asthe younger generation does
determine what's hot andeverything like that, or they
don't really determine what'shot, they still be waiting for
things to know what's hot.
So if you were to put it outthere and market it to the
people who used to watch it,when we start clipping it up and
(38:40):
making TikToks, putting it outthere and market it to the
people who used to watch it whenwe start clipping it up and
making TikToks putting it outthere and all of that, and then
the kids find it, then they'regoing to get on it yeah, this is
our shit.
They don't know Exactly, so wewe will still have to introduce
it to them, the same way thatwe're introducing them to two
thousands and nineties.
Rmb and other things like that.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I feel like there's far less.
There's far less.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
That's old man.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Old people like damn that's a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I gotta do I gotta?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
do all that work to get the stuff that I love doing,
if you want the flash in thepan.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That's what it's going to be.
But if you put in the work toget what you're going to get out
of it, that's what it's goingto be also.
So if you don't put in the workto actually market it properly
and actually put it out properly, then it's not going to do what
it's supposed to do.
And, just like he said, theytried to market it to millennia.
I mean to Gen Zers.
But the idea behind it is a lotof Gen Zers don't care about
(39:32):
what happened before them.
No, unless somebody else toldthem.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Hey that was dope.
You should know about this.
I mean, that's's a closing line, like how everybody's now doing
the baggy jeans again, exactlyyeah.
And like, yeah, bell bottomsare making a comeback, yeah,
yeah.
It's like, what's that song?
I know they are, but they'redoing it wrong.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
There was some song from the 80s, a pop song.
Uh, you know I'm running upthat hill.
You know it was like trendingon stranger things exactly.
It was on strangeranger Things.
All the Gen Zers saw it andit's like viral and like
everyone's following her.
It's really great for theartist, but it's just
interesting how trends from likeway long ago are coming back
(40:11):
Because it's a recycle, exactly.
It's being presented to themfor the first time.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
But that's always been this whole generation.
Nothing's new under the sun.
Nothing's new under the sun.
Nothing is new.
Everything is being recycled.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
And everything ends up getting recycled every 20 to
30 years anyway, so the factthat bell bottoms are coming out
, that is an 80s thing.
So, this is the first timewhere it's getting 40s.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Anybody who has that old outfit from what's it called
Jodeci oh shit, it's getting40s.
Anybody who has that old outfitfrom what's it called Jodeci,
it's coming back.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I hope niggas don't got leather suits still.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
If you got Jankos, they're coming back Stop.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
You couldn't even see your shoes when you wore those.
I did have the zip off Cargopants.
They're coming back.

You couldn't even see yourshoes when you wore those.
Speaker 1 (41:01):

They're coming back.
Stop right now If any of youniggas come out with leather
pants and a whole leather suit.
Speaker 4 (41:10):

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Oh man, and I told him to chill.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
I told him to chill.
I don't know what it said.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I told him to chill, but hey, and bell bottoms, what
am I making sense?
And the words.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Leather bell bottoms.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yo, it was wild, that's wild, it was wild.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
That's a double whammy it was wild.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
But.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
It was a dangerous man.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
We can't speak on that right now, Mark.
We can't speak on.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
But in the words of ego anywho, Anywho.
Speaker 2 (41:51):

I mean be in uh content creation so yeah, when a
lot of people gonna get theirmoney and a lot of people going.
You know, yeah and and get somerecognition so hopefully it's
so it works out for everybody,all right.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
So like again.
You know, you heard my third,anywho.
Uh, annabelle, what else?
What's the next step in yourcareer that you're planning on
jumping on?
Speaker 3 (42:16):
oh man, no, I was, which you can speak on no, I was
really lucky to dip into thecamera crew this year and they
were able to embrace me and Iwas learning so much, um, so I'm
just really hoping on growingin that field and, you know,
being able to be a camera, beingpart of the camera crew on like
a movie, would be amazing.
(42:37):
Nice, being a batman project ismy dream, doesn't?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
matter what it is but a batman project I guess all
right, never mind, as as I justI just don't like batman, shit,
I don't like batman.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
You know, black man you know, that could be another
pod, that could be a oh no, wecan definitely talk about it.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Fuck that.
If y'all won't get into it, wecan get into it, it's fine.
We don't have time for that.
We don't have time for that.
I give you that we don't havetime for that it's fine when
people don't understand.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
It's fine when people don't understand.
All right, we got time for that.
All right, and go in on movies,because actually I think it
would be a dope ass topic.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I think there's a lot that could be said.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
We could talk about movies and hip hop and Fuck
Batman, hey, hey hey, what doyou like?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
I mean, I just don't like Batman.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
What do you like though?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
I'm more of a Marvel guy.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
So, what do you like?
I'm asking?
You said fuck Batman to a diehard, so I want to know I mean
why and who do you like?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
okay.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Well then, if this is , I'm not talking to anger, I'm
talking to patreon followershere.
Who do I like?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I like so many.
I mean the avengers are allgreat although iron man is.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Basically, why is it?
Why is it so hurtful?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
no, no, in the avengers he is.
Why are you?
Speaker 1 (44:02):
so hurtful let him speak.
Let him speak, that's all ironman is completely different from
batman on the simple fact thateven in the first iron man army,
in the first iron man movie,what did iron man do?
He took out a terroristorganization.
That's what he did.
Oh yeah, I'm not arguing that.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
So when you look at but didn't Batman do that in
Batman Begins?
Hmm, I mean Arguably Wasn'tRa's al Ghul's place a terrorist
organization?
No, he was trying to blow upthe city.
What are you talking about?
Are you talking about comicsversus movies.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
I'm talking about like an international criminal
organization, a some movies Aninternational criminal
organization.
A League of Assassins.
So you don't know, that's fine.
No, peep peep, peep, peep,that's fine.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Peep, peep, peep.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
It's fine.
So Iron man is talking to anerd.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Iron man is completely different, because
one Iron man also will tell youwho he is.
He's not hiding from nobody.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I spoke for me, not for Animal man.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
My problem with Batman is Batman has the ability
to take down so many differentinternational criminal
organizations, even just CEOsall types of things that he
could take down but what does hespend his time doing?
(45:25):
Chasing down a bunch of crazymotherfuckers and locking them
up to the point that they getout over and over again and keep
terrorizing the city.
Yeah, because he's crazy justlike them, and he walks around
with a suit hiding his identitybut also showing half of his
face, which is completely wildto me.
(45:46):
That's a lot of people, no, nono, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
no.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
Cyclops Wolverine Daredevil.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
A lot of superheroes.
One have powers and two don'twork closely with the police.
Okay, batman works closely withthe police.
He's a detective.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
With the commissioner .
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Batman spends the majority of his time chasing
down mentally ill people andcommon street thugs, fighting a
bunch of people that have nopowers and losing against them.
Y'all get on my nerves losingagainst them.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
Oh my gosh, y'all getting my nerves.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Y'all getting my nerves.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
This is nerd talk.
Can we have a nerd talk podcastIf?
Speaker 3 (46:29):
Superman was a killer .
He couldn't be part of it,though.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
If Superman was a killer, he would wipe Batman's
entire criminal, entire, all hisenemies out in about 10 minutes
and Batman spends his entirelife messing with these people.
But Batman can take outSuperman, batman can take out
everybody with powers, but hecan't take out his own villains
(46:54):
that don't have powers.
It's not real.
Cool man, y'all right.
It's not real, y'all right.
Do it, y'all right.
Right.
Powers, it's not real.
Cool man, it's all right.
It's not real, you're right.
Do it, you're right, right.
Every other superhero got tofight a whole bunch of people
with powers and they have powersthemselves to do and those
villains are still around whichvillains?
Speaker 4 (47:12):
are still around all villains, all the villains, all
of them, the way it's kind oflike there's no way, there's no
way that somebody's killed.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Black Panther killed Killmonger, did he not?
This is a movie, so what?
Speaker 4 (47:25):
are you?
You're going back.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I'm just saying, did he not?
No, so you're talking like big,but you're only talking about
movies.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Oh yeah, I'm just, I'm literally just strictly
speaking about that.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
But even the things no, I don't know that, so I'm
literally just strictly speakingabout that, but even the things
that I'm saying about Batmanare still.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
But you don't read comic books.
Majority true, but you don'tread comic books.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Oh no, I'm not deep into the comic books.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I have read comic books, but I'm not deep, so your
scope is limited.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Very limited.
I will say that Perfect Learnme something, so when it comes
to movies, learn me something.
Sure, perfect, learn.
So, when it comes to movies,learn me something sure?
Speaker 3 (48:00):
no, learn me something.
We've only seen one set ofmarvel movies to this point.
Learn me something.
No, I'm right, we've only seenone set of marvel movies.
Yeah, that's all.
And we've seen a coupleiterations of batman at this
point, but I can understand thefatigue, but once again I was
more of a marvel person Iwatched
Speaker 4 (48:16):
I love spider man.
I read I love spider man I readx-men comic books.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
I read you know what I'm saying the show in the 90s,
the evolution of the dream.
It just sounds like all thethings you say you hate about
Batman.
It's just they're everywhere incomics.
I don't like I said.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
I don't think once again, I don't think that all
the other superheroes withpowers worked close with the
police.
You don't like that aspectpolice and weren't trying their
hardest to take out and weren'ttrying their hardest to take out
their own enemies.
If Wolverine could have tookyou out, he was taking you out.
If Cyclops was taking you out,he was going to take you out.
(48:51):
Spider-man was probably theonly person that wasn't trying
to hurt people.
Ace Boogie.
Speaker 4 (48:57):
Stop what man we're having a talk no, we're not.
We're going around in circles.
This is one of those things.
We're having a talk.

I would like to go ahead andjust pass it off to mark,
because mark can betterintroduce this man than I can
yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So today we got, uh, my buddy annabelle, who I've
known since what?
2006, I guess that sounds rightyeah, so we went to the same
high school.
I actually ended up workingtogether.
This dude was my manager for abit.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
What high school was that?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
actually Bethesda Chevy Chase.
Okay, bcc, bcc.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I was 08.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You were what 05.
05.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
That's right, I'm an old guy.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That's what's up.
All right, all right.
But no, Anibal and I, we'vebeen doing moves together for a
while.
He's been pretty instrumentalin my music career, just
pointing me in the rightdirection, and recently he's
been doing some really coolstuff in the film industry,
specifically reality TV.
So you know, I'm going to passit to you, man, how has your
summer been?
You were on a shoot, right?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, no, so I just wrapped on Real Housewives of
Potomac, potomac, potomac.
So I was really thankful to beon something local and arguably
probably one of the biggerproductions in the area.
Yeah, definitely, because youdon't really hear much of
anything other thandocumentaries and political ads
(02:06):
and whatnot, which is hugearound here.
But to be part of somethingwhere I could go home, that was
amazing and I'm very lucky youguys love talking about politics
.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
No, quick, quick, quick question I try to avoid it
at all costs, but they love ityeah, so quick question what
network it is?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
this is bravo, okay, all Just letting the listeners
know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, no, I've been lucky to be employed through
Truly, which is the productioncompany that makes like 13 or so
different reality shows.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's ridiculous, yeah .
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I was a post-PA so I worked on like 10 different
shows at once, and then SummerHouse last year, Real Housewives
this year.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, real Housewives .
That's one of the biggeststaples in reality TV.
I feel like it's a top one.
There's been so many versionsfor so many years.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
This is season 9, so there's definitely a following.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
There's already been 9 seasons of Potomac.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We just wrapped 9.
And Atlanta's gotta befollowing.
And people that watch Hold on.
There's already been nineseasons of Potomac.
This is we just wrapped nine,wow.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And Atlanta's got to be like in the 20s right, no, no
, that's a 14, 15.
14, 15,.
Okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And then I guess what it started off in New York,
right?
Or?
What's the history of it?
Oh man, I wish I could tell you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I believe the first one's either, atlanta being that
it's 14.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Or California or something like that, or Orange
County or New York.
That's right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Those would definitely be the long-standing
ones, but Potomac found someground.
I know, dubai just found someground, whoa.
And then Salt Lake City isanother big one.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy man, so I guess you're
touching on pretty much Potomac,but Hold on.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Hold.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh, my bad no.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry we're forgetting,because, oh yeah.
I forgot to ask no, no, it'sall good, it's all good, it's
all good.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
This is my first time hosting.
No, I get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I get it, I get it, but you know, I got your back, I
got your back.
There we go, so now go ahead,and you know go ahead and take
it Now.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Take it, no, yeah, no .
So now that we've done theintroduction and everything, we
do have a part of theintroduction for the podcast, us
being Absolute DMV.
So it's basically like whatmakes you a card-carrying member
of the DMV, Something that youreally like, that the DMV really
rocks with as far as a culturalstandpoint or an artistic
(04:25):
standpoint, and you, being a DCnative, you know I'm sure
there's a lot of things thatyou're immersed in with the
culture, but is there anythingthat you particularly identify
with that kind of makes you liketruly DMV?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's a tough question but I think I'd speak
to the whole melting pot of thewhole area just because I grew
up son of a housekeeper but wentto BCC, which is one of the
more affluent public highschools in the area, absolutely.
So I was super lucky to be ableto come home and have Latin food
(05:02):
on my table but go to a prettynice high school and school and
otherwise and be around peoplethat I probably wouldn't be
around otherwise.
You know what I mean, and beingin a diverse area definitely
helps you grow up more balanced.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I mean I'm sorry to cut you off, but.
I know BCC was the first placethat I ever in high school
played on a turf field.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
No, no no see, and when we went you don't kind of
realize that right, yeah you getgrow up um and looking back,
super fortunate, uh no and uhyeah I would just say that
melting pot aspect being able togrow up around different people
from every different background.
Yeah, Something I ask peoplefrom the area is this is how I
(05:51):
know you're from the DMV.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Okay, what was the name of Six Flags before?
It was Six Flags and Bowie oh,oh man.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Hershey Park.
No, no, no, no, no, hersheyPark is still Hershey Park, I
know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Fuck around.
Oh oh man, Hershey Park no.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No no, no, hershey Park is still Hershey.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Park, I know oh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, that's history.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
That's history.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
No, because at this point I feel like Six Flags has
been there for like 25 years.
It's been there for a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
You know what's so funny?
I couldn't even afford it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My parents, couldn't even to go there.
You're as old as I am.
There's at least one or twonames, at least in your head.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I never I know I never went to Six Flags like
that as a kid.
You, son of a bitch, I know.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But I watched all the TV commercials with the old guy
dancing.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No, it was the cheapest one dude, I know.
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm trying to think of what it was got me messed up,
yeah, adventure world I wasgonna say adventure world,
because I think they have anadventure world.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
There's an adventure park usa which is not far away
at all, yes, but adventure worldhey, thank you, thank you as
people, thank you animaldropping, jibs amen no no, no,
that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know what I'm saying.
He flipped the dmv card on us.
I like that.
I love that.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
That being said so, you said the mixing pot is one
of your cards.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, man, just being able to diversity, there's no
like foods or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So you travel pretty much around the United States.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's what a man is my mama's food.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
My mama's food, my mama's food.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
There's no wrong answer there.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
My mama, there's no wrong answer there.
My mom and the food that thewomen cook.
My mom, you're right, you'reright.
But uh, and then the next?
What takes the card away?
Yeah, yeah, is there somethingthat would not be conducive with
dmv?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
culture like you don't rock with something that
is exclusively dmv.
Oh, I don't know, I like that.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
He's so dmv I'm so dmv there's nothing.
I'm so dmv bro I mean say thequestion again.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So like is there something, um, that is like a
dmv staple or something that'sreally big as part of the, the
culture or, you know, fashion orsomething, or I don't like that
you don't like you know that isa staple, like a dm, a
traditional food from the dmv oryou know
Speaker 1 (08:14):
you don't like rombo sauce, yeah, or?
Something like that or yeah,you don't rock new balances or
something like that, why y'allkeep shooting at me Is that a.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I've never owned a pair of New Balances in my life.
Well is that a DC thing?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
New Balances are, I guess, very much a big DC thing
Very much.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I see them a lot, 990 .
I didn't know it was a DC thing, it's a huge.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
A lot of people want to argue with us, especially
Baltimore, but nah, it's a DCthing.
But nah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
DC thing.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's a DC thing.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's a DC thing, you'll see some real DC, like if
you go to a Go-Go, I see a lot.
If you go to a Go-Go, you'llsee.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Am I tripping dude?
New balances are like $200.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They got really expensive.
I remember in the Seinfeld daysthat you should just be like
dad shoes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I used to Remember there were only like two, three
models.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
So that and we bought classics.
Right Back in the day we boughtclassics no everybody had the
same model.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You were lucky to have two or three different
colors, but everybody had thesame joints.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I mean most people had the solid, gray, the solid
gray.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, solid and blues , and it was $9.90, $9.91, $9.92
.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't even know.
Yeah, 991-992.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't even know For someone who don't like New
Balances.
You know a lot about it.
He's a sneakerhead, I'm asneakerhead.
Yeah, I'm a sneakerhead, so Iknew about him.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Honestly at the time, because the most popular ones
were the solid gray ones.
That was just actually so plainto me.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I saw those and the white ones.
Yeah, I couldn't rock them.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Super, super plain, and that's what I'm saying.
They were super plain at thetime, and during that time was
once again, I'm a little olderDuring that time was during the
whole Michael Jordan coming outwith three colors on his shoe,
getting fined and that being thefly shit out.
So I grew up on Jordans.
You know what I'm saying.
I didn't grow up on the solidgray running shoe.
(10:06):
I grew up on the multicoloredbasketball shoe and that's what
I still wear.
So you know what I'm saying.
It's nothing against NewBalance.
I just rock with Nikes and Irock with.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Jordans more.
I'll wait until we get asponsor for New Balance.
I would love it.
I love New Balance.

And I'll take them.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Go shopping.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I will take them.
There ain't no shame in my game.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Fuck y'all, but yeah, so Anything like that that you
don't rock with.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, no, I don't think there's something I don't
rock with but, I will say I wasnot agreeing.
I didn't like gogo for a verylong time.
I didn't like it for a verylong time until, and why.
You know it's just a differentlive music sound, yeah, uh,
which you know.
(11:45):
I just wasn't digging untillike more and more recently.
Shout out to Scoob that my dudethis past season he was rocking
some go-go in the van and Ihave no choice but to listen.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You had no choice to change it, but no.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I kind of liked it because I've heard some songs
over the years, right, that Ilike, I've always remembered and
I'll always hear.
You know where I'm like, ohshit, that's Go-Go.
And I've heard these songsoutside of the DMV and I'm like
oh shit.
And now I'm like, oh man, no,this is good, this is different.
It's like an artistic type ofstyle.
It's style which I have come toappreciate.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
it's super unique.
Yeah, yeah, it's always.
It's like a snowflake, it'sdifferent every time you hear it
.
Yeah, absolutely true.
Um, I mean, my favorite part iswhen, uh and I'm terrible for
this forgetting the band's nameand shorty's name northeast
groovers no, not that backyardband.
No, shorty who did uh pieces ofMe took over Ashley Simpson's
song.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't even want to hear Ashley Simpson's song.
So you know, I told my dude.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Scoob Pieces of Me is a go-go song.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I told my dude Scoob this and he's like I didn't even
know that was a real song.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, it is.
Shout out to Scoob, shout outto Scoob.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That was dope.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's interesting you say that because I had a
conversation with someone nottoo long ago which was basically
the same thing.
They didn't really like Go-Gountil they listened to an actual
album from a Go-Go artist, likethe actual studio album.
The thing that I realized isthat a lot of the radio stations
like 93.9, 95.5, will play thelive versions late at night.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
That's the only time I've ever heard them.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, and go-go does not necessarily translate very
well as a live recordingespecially on the radio, because
, well, to a regular listener,but also because there's so much
Go-go head that's all they likelooking for.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
True, but to a kid listening to 97 or what 99,
whatever a kid.
Growing up in high schoolyou're like, oh, that's kind of
different.
I don't know if I like that butjust if I'm not from that area?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
no, I wasn't.
Yeah, I was from bethesda.
I didn't hear that, but that'sit.
Yeah, you were on the outskirts.
Yeah, I didn't hear that Ididn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
No, I mean I grew up and I grew up on Go-Go.
I was in the Mad Chef.
You know what I'm saying.
We were going over to places.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Rockville.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sportsplex, all that other stuff.
We was in all in places.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Big up to Young.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Shout out to.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Rockville.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Light Skin Black Light.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Skin Black actually expresses he's a Go-Go head.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying we was in all them
places so we got to experiencethe culture, the good.
When you in there it's hotEverybody having fun.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It was all about love .
Ladies in there shaking, Ithink you leave you having a
great time dancing.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Good time, but then also the bad when the lady was
shaking too hard on you and herman or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
You know what I'm saying and now you got to deal
with it outside.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But, once again, that's all part of the culture.
That's what you dealt with,that's what you did.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But I think that you know, being in a live go-go show
has an awesome energy.
But then I think just sonicallyand just for the amount of
bandwidth in the frequency theradio cannot capture that
because you got so muchproduction and percussion and
the live vocals it's just a lotand back of the day, like when
we were growing up no one hadlike Bose systems in their cars,
(15:18):
like that all the time.
Like it was like radios havegotten a lot better back in the
day you just couldn't hearenough so it sounded very
muffled.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But that's the thing we weren't listening to.
Go, go for the sound quality,hey man, your dad exclusively
listens to live music you knowso like you should.
That's, that's someone livemusic, live instrumentation,
things like that, like when it'sgeared for recording.
Yeah, that's a whole differentstory and that's the thing.
(15:47):
Go goes not geared forrecording.
Go go is we're playing and youjust happen to be recording it
like we got originally.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
You know, I'm saying yeah, so they never actually got
a really answer.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like I say, never got a chance to dig in a chance,
but but now in the beginning.
Yeah, in the beginning it therewas.
There was never that.
We're in the studio making this.
You know what I'm saying andwe're gearing it for it to be a
recording.
It was now we're live on stage.
Yeah, we're partying, we'recranking and that's what we're
doing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So and I think it's one of those things where it can
be geared to it, if you knowthat ahead of time, just because
, like, unlike a band or arapper or something, you've got
a couple different mics going onfor a couple different
instruments.
But most bands are like rockbands and everything are like
four or five, you know sixpieces.
Go-go bands can get up to seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve.
You know you got multiplepeople.
(16:41):
You're thinking too hard.
I'm just saying you, I'm justsaying to make it sound good
from a live perspective, it canbe done.
You just need the mic.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
So that's how when gogo came out was not just like
hip-hop, like it wasn't meant togo the mainstream.
What it did, sure, and that'sthe thing about it when gogo's
out, it was like house partythings.
It was really it was meant forcelebration of the hood.
And then people heard, like Isaid, that's why they had
(17:09):
cassette tapes and things likethat, because it was played on,
they recorded on some like Bobosystem, yeah, and then, of
course, the only time you canhear Go-Go from that and that's
why you notice how many Go-Gohad so many tape not even like
events.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It had nights like, like had dates on it, then
that's what it was, because itwasn't at a venue like yeah
that's what was played on theradio but, that's the only time
it was made, because that waslive or whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I see, eventually they were like yo, this is
really a a big thing of dc, andthat's when they started like,
all right, let's make it moreyou have to figure out how to
record this and figure out howto package it, and that's what
I'm saying.
So like it evolved sure, sureyou were thinking about it like
now all right, this is how it is, and that's what I'm just I
remember like I remember thosetape times and I was like, oh my
(17:54):
god, did you got the?
You got the five, uh, five, uh.
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
five.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, the 520 01s or whatever, and that's what it was
the name of.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, so but I think that
that's probably why, to someextent, gogo doesn't necessarily
resonate with non-gogolisteners.
Yeah, because like they don'tknow the backstory but they hear
the mix quality or somethingand it doesn't quite pop for
them on the radio, whereas nowmodern gogo- that was animal
yeah like people used to saypots and pans like.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's what it sounds like oh yeah, you know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's a little jarring you don't understand it and I
mean, but if you are of thatculture, if you are in that
culture, then yeah and like yousaid it took you some time
because you were from bethesda,to get into that culture yeah,
yeah you know'm saying I don'twant to harp on that, but go
ahead.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But not only is it live, it's a cover and it does
sound that first pot and pansound type of sound, that
backyard sound.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, the congos, the congos, the congos and
everything yeah and it's gotgreat energy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've loved, and a lot of you know, mediums and it's
just, it's got a good uh, anundeniable energy.
That constant percussionthroughout the song.
It makes it really hard not tojust bop your head and it makes
it easier to, just for listening.
No, it's really dope.
But, um, all right, cool.
Now we got the dmv card yeah,settled.
V-card yeah, settled, yeah.
Back to reality TV.
So very important questionYou've been on set for how many
(19:31):
shoots now?
Two seasons of shows, of shows,okay.
So you've had two differentshows, two different casts.
You've been on set in personseeing the filming process, the
behind the scenes, yep, you know, seeing the people on camera,
off camera, yep, are the people,are the stars On camera?
Like, does the camera turn onand do they kind of change, like
(19:51):
the way?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
they speak a little bit, or is it?
Are they fake?
Fake ass?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I know you can't say everything, but no, no, I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, I'll be honest.
No, I don't think they're fake,I think it's like anybody.
That becomes Like steps intoentertainment.
You kind of turn yourself up abit.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Oh, amplified.
Yeah, and to turn yourself up abit oh, amplified, yeah, and I
think that's the only way itworks for you because, who wants
to?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
watch you if you're just yeah, it's just a regular
dude.
Uh, you know I'll watch a lotof wrestling.
I'm a wrestling nerd oh yeah,so you're bringing that in the
big amplify, yeah I mean, yougotta turn yourself up in order
for people to want to payattention to you, bad or good.
So, yeah, people will turntheirself up.
Are they fake?
No, yeah, uh, definitely not.
But do they turn theirself upand let like kind of loose, kind
(20:42):
of get loose a little bit?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
yes, yeah, but nothing it's kind of like that
news reporter vibe, like you gotto say it with affect to make
it interesting to people.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Just you know, kind of hear you out and everything
no, I'm, I'm not saying fake asin like it's two different
personalities.
I'm saying that, like you said,amplify it, because the network
is saying you have to amplifyit.
Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
like the way they will Put some sauce on it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yeah, some sauce on it for the viewers, but they're
most likely like once you saycut, they're not that Like.
Once you say cut, they're notthat Like that's what I was
saying.
Yeah, no, I wouldn't say soharshly, like oh yeah, yeah, and
then no, they're like no, no,no no.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Again, they just turn themselves up.
They just can become more loose.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I would say An introvert can kind of get
extroverted.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, you definitely want to be introverted.
You don't want to beintroverted on camera and be on
camera.
Yeah, it's stressful, unlessthey're hiding it real good.
You know, I don't know that,but they've all been nice to me.
Everybody was cool, no badpeople.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
So there's no like in the back, like okay, I guess.
I don't know NDA, but mostlikely saying Cruella de Vil
type of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Divas on set, kind of like, or somebody was on like
you know, you know, like nothard to work with, like I have
heard people be harsh, yeah,okay, I have not witnessed that.
Okay, to be honest, I've againlike going into summer house.
I did hear there's a, you knowthere are people that can people
certain people that can berough.
Yeah, on potomac housewives.
(22:08):
I mean, come on these, thesewomen have been through it all.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, they're supposed to be like-end Again.
They're supposed to perceivethemselves like they're strong,
yeah, strong, independent.
They're doing their things.
And that's what I was saying,not saying fakeness, but most
likely they have to show theimage that they're above the
normal.
That's the reason why the showis what the show is.
Yeah, potomac is not Bethesda.
(22:31):
What the show is yeah, asPotomac is not Bethesda, potomac
is not Rockville, potomac isabove that, and that's what I'm
saying, and I mean I'm sure thatin certain situations they give
them a little bit of alcohol tohelp.
Oh, yeah, are they drinking?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Let's get it in.
And so I'll be honest.
You know, I'm more of like thetechnical side, like the camera
side, so, um, I was reallydigging into that, so that what
you're talking about would bemore producer side of them, kind
of.
So what, what I?
What I can say is, like youknow, let's say, uh, two cast
members are talking.
(23:05):
A producer will kind of bringup, hey, mention, remember,
mention, remember, remember.
When you said this hey, justbring that up, okay, okay, just
to kind of steer if things arekind of getting boring too.
Yeah, if they're just likeMention.
Remember when you said this hey, just bring that up, okay.
Okay, just to kind of steer Ifthings are kind of getting
boring too, if they're just likeDead air kind of shit Dead air
right you want the producersneed something.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So hey, mention this real quick, push this, you know,
talk about that, oh okay, butnothing is ever scripted like yo
read this yeah is ever scriptedlike yo read this, yeah, and
then talk talk about that, okaylet's read this.
That is never a thing I did.
I have no.
I have heard that be a thing ofthe past.
Like for other shows, yeah, um,but I have not.
(23:45):
There's no scripting, all theywill say.
If things get kind of boring,when things aren't kind of like,
yeah, bleeding anywhere, theywill say hey, so quick question
on that then.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, uh, technically like so how many takes?
Because I've been when I was inla, like I said when I was in
la, you know there's a scriptand they'll keep doing until you
get it right the way, thereality.
Do they stop and say, all right, that sound, that looked awful.
No, I need you.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Well, it's no takes it's almost like like exactly so
yeah, it's almost like jerseysoar, essentially like, or
they've got like multiplecameras on these people.
It's what you think realityshow is real.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's what you would hope.
It is right like no cameras areon you all the time they're
filming him.
Yeah, and there's no takes.
I will say there are some timeswhere like, uh, you know,
producers will catch you, make alittle smirk, look at well,
it's just funny because I'mtrying to, you know, be be light
here, but it's like it's justfunny, because you'll catch
people on, you know, beingfilmed, kind of like talk about
(24:45):
something and then the producerswill kind of look at each other
like she's kind of lying, ohwhy, why are they talking about?
that you know okay so you know,I don't again.
I don't really know backstoryor what's happening you're not a
part of, but I will noticethese kind of looks like hey,
why is it?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
that makes sense.
If they're filming everything,then they know the truth about
well the producers would know alot about these, yeah all the
research at least, at least whenthey're on the clock for the
show there, and some of them.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I know these people throughout the seasons, so
they're actually pretty close tothese individuals so they know
a lot.
So when someone's not kind oflike is maybe lying, they'll be
like yo why are you?
Lying.
So I think that's interestingjust to kind of see those
relationships between productionand the cast.
I find that to be veryinteresting.
Yeah, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Okay, I find that to be very interesting.
Yeah, well, seeing the innerworkings of a couple shows and
being on set and dealing withthe post production and
everything, and seeing just howmuch time being someone who is
being filmed, like how much thattakes out of you and how
draining that can be.
Is there a reality show thatyou would choose to be on?
(25:53):
Is there, like I guess, onemore than the other?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And then there's a second part when you pick, hmm,
well, if I had a fantasy pick,it would be like the old Jersey
Shore.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But yeah, that's a fantasy.
You and I used to watch it.
That was crazy.
That's a fantasy.
Imagine that.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Imagine being on that .
Dude, that's a fantasy.
Imagine that.
Imagine being on that like that.
That's so cool man it was liveand it was peak.
Things happened peak housereality bro, I don't think
anyone knew the term Guidobefore that do you think the
same thing about real world too?
Do you think that?
At that time yeah in thatmoment, I mean when Jersey
happened.
It was on the decline yeah, butI I mean when Jersey happened.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
it was on the decline .
Yeah, exactly, but I did watchReal World growing up.
Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I was going to say I'm one of those Real World Road
Rules challenge type people.
Not anymore, but at the time,At the time I was on that show,
I was like man and man, theycranked those shows out still.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I don't watch them, but they're on Challenge 48.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
They're still doing.
They are doing.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, I'm not familiar but I did watch a lot
of seasons of real world.
No, yeah, maybe like the first13, 15, maybe, I don't even know
, but a few because it alsobecause they went around the
world.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
They went around the world and when they went around
it was like weird to see our agepretty much because technically
that was our age and it wouldbe like acting a fool.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You know what camera you know what it was.
Was what pre-internet dude?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
yeah, well, that too.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah, that was like people were just outside living,
not inside the whole time.
Everything, everything.
People didn't know everything,yeah everything they did online.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It was going out like it was like, they're like
they'll be in the house andthey're like we're going out
tonight.
It's amazing and they'll allget ready and then some drama
happens.
Somebody get drunk and they'llbe in the house and they're like
we're going out tonight.
It was amazing and they'll allget ready and then some drama
happens.
Somebody gets drunk and they'llcome back and there'll be some
more drama.
That's how it was.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Well, internet also made everybody know-it-alls and,
like everybody knows everything, I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So like pre-internet.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Everybody came from their cities, didn't know shit
about nothing, yeah, and thenyou literally put them in a
house.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I think I thought that was great, it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That was great.
You can't do that now no yeah.
Because you know somethingabout every city yeah Right, or
you're influenced by there.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yeah, you see it in all.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
But back then, bro, it was just raw people from raw
cities.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
That's a good point, right, that's a really good
point.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And from a controversy standpoint, like for
drama and everything.
Like if you got a bunch ofpeople in a house and they don't
have any smartphones or anytablets or anything like that,
Well, they still don't have TVsand whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
They don't allow those.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Okay, but when people go out, I think they do allow
phones.
Okay, phones, but okay.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Oh, so you're allowed to have your phone on set or
not?
Oh well for our stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah Okay, I don't know about others, but yeah,
okay, you're not going to tellthe housewives to put their
phone away.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
No, they're going to have their phones.
I thought it was kind of likethat.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They got kids too.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm saying but while they're shooting, I don't see
them sitting there while you'reshooting?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
they don't.
I don't see them like sittingthere while you're yeah, they're
not rude, like you know likescrolling through instagram no,
no, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, but they're, they definitely have their
phones available.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, they are not, they're, they're professionals
okay yeah, they figured it yeah,that makes sense then, yeah,
yeah, all right, so jersey shoreis your, and if I could, work
on something now, though.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I don't know, I don't even watch that much reality,
but it's it's weird now, likethe way it's very weird the way
reality is like, even like I wastelling my girl like 90 day
fiancee that's very popular.
Yeah, love is blind is reallybig too but it's the one of the
biggest things off of that, likekind of like reality, yeah, and
(29:32):
that's I don't know, I feelit's not the best.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I would love to do man remember when Vice was
killing it.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Oh, in the beginning.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Man, I was just working with someone who was
working at Vice during the peakof Vice.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Well, that's when Vice was really like Vice Land
and their were killing it man.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
If I could work on something and be fucking.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
that's delicious so what do you think happened like
something like that thathappened in Viceland?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh, I know a little bit.
So I just worked on Potomac.
My PM worked on Viceland, atthe peak of Viceland.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And he just said people were spending money and
just not doing well.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
For the production.
It wasn't really doing it forthe production it well, or, you
know, not for the production itwasn't really doing it for the
production, it was more moneyliterally.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
He said it was just money being spent, just money
for and people would.
He said people would come andask to go to a certain city.
They wouldn't even ask you whywrite a check or buy you a
ticket.
Bam and that was it, and thenthey wouldn't shoot anything for
it I don't know what happenedafter but he would just tell me
like people were able, were ableto like take flights wherever
they wanted, and it just soundslike money was just being spent
(30:36):
without being able to like youknow, no one's controlling it.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I can believe it because Vice was one of my
favorite channels.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Their content was great.
They had the show with damn, Iforget his name.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I'm so sorry.
Rest in peace to homie From theWire, from the Wire From the
Wire yeah, oh man.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Black Market, oh yeah .
I love that show he used totravel See that's a show.
That's a great show.
I would work on that show.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
But then also they had a lot of them it was called
considered like a Black Marketnetwork kind of like they were
doing outside the norm yeah,they would talk about stuff no
one else would touch exactly,and that's what I think was the
issue because again, they werepushing the envelope.
I loved it huge at the time ofsocial media, so like at that
time it was work.
I mean they even had what's theguy?
(31:24):
Who's the rapper?
White rapper, axl Ronson.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Axl Ronson oh yeah, if I could work on that show,
it'd be that show.
That show was ridiculous.
That was a really cool show.
I love that show.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
When he was going around pretty much talking, yeah
, and it was him and hishomeboys pretty much, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
No, my favorite show then was Most Expensivest.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh yeah, Two.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Chains 2 Chainz used to get so One episode where he
got so high on the show where hecouldn't really do the show.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
No more.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I was like yo, that's the greatest thing ever.
What other network would allowthat?
That's the greatest thing everbro, that's the one I loved
about Vice.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
There's that one show where the white dude did all
the drugs and recorded himself.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Who's gonna do that All the different ones right
Like one at a time, right likeone at a time.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
No network had that and that and the thing about it
I think it was.
It was getting too popular andyou said the money was so spent
and then they were like this isnot, makes no sense.
I'm not making any money out ofit.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
The thing that sucks is that, like a lot of their
like, like vice news and stuff,which I think what for the most
part was like I mean, in a lotof ways I got most of my news
from them.
You know they were like theywere touching stuff that no one
else was touching and I thinkthat's something that nowadays
everyone has a political spin,or even if it's not political,
there's a presentation that theoutlet sort of wants to follow.
(32:43):
So it's very rare to get just araw factual sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Speaking of the fall of Viceland, I don't know if
anybody was hip growing up to G4.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
well, I fucking loved g4 g4 is my shit because g4
used to have a america, notninja warrior, on it.
Yeah, yeah, original yeah butso they.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
A few years ago they did a big reboot and it was only
on youtube, which was veryweird to me and it was
completely funded by comcast.
Comcast bought the rights.
They were like all in, theyspent tons of money, they bought
out like a warehouse, theyoutfitted it out, six studio and
then they spent tons of moneyon like big uh, internet
(33:30):
influencer, youtubers and likethat's a lot of.
They were like pumping moneyout, dude, pumping money, but no
one's watching because no oneheard of it.
No one heard of it because whyit was only on youtube and for a
company like comcast to not putit on a network.
Yeah, made to me.
(33:50):
I was like what I think?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I'm watching it and I'm watching the channel.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Might as well put it on your own distribution your
own distribution and you don'tput it on at least what they
call.
They have these fast channelsnow, which is what I was talking
about earlier, where they justhave, like those free channels
on the Samsung.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
TV.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Those are called fast channels.
Yeah, throw it on that jointPeople will watch.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I was watching, like freebie, I'll watch them.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I'll watch Ninja Warrior, so they get a hit to
count.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know where count.
So many people are watchinglike, only like.
Thousands are watching.
I'm like damn, this is goodstuff and I missed it, man.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And then the Warrior.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Then they had another joke that was kind of like
Cheaters remember Cheaters, ohCheaters, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And Cops All Day, the bloopers game where, like
people would be doing theobstacle course, yeah, yeah, and
it was dubbed.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
it was dubbed MXC, mxc, mxc.
Yeah, maxim.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Extreme Challenge yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I love it.
I love it.
I think they changed it toWipeout.
I think it's.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wipeout.
Well now, yeah, now it's softand Wipeout, but they were
fucking.
They were fucking motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I just remember it was like a real show that was
taped in another country.
Yeah, it was all Japanese andwith the white dudes were just
like real stupid commentators.
They were like fry thecontestants.
Oh, this dude is ugly.
He's not going to make it veryfar.
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So I missed it.
They fucking failed at thisreboot.
I wanted it to work so bad andit did not.
If they would have promoted itbetter, then I would have
definitely supported it.
Well, I was watching it becauseI'm close to the nerd shit and
I was following the reboot, andthey were hiring people as
influencers.
And as a wrestling fan, theyhad got my boy, xavier Woods,
(35:36):
who's a wrestler from the NewDay, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, he was one of thepersonalities, so I was like, oh
shit, it's gonna be tight, it'sgonna be tight, and then a year
goes by and no growth ishappening and I'm just like fuck
what is happening.
I loved it.
I couldn't watch all of itbecause I'm not a youtube dude,
but I'll leave it on my tv ifit's a channel.
(35:57):
I'm just like that.
I'm just an old dude, I'llwatch that.
But they just didn't do itright, man.
It's really interesting that,real disappointing as a youtube
channel only they were hoping togear towards the young crowd,
and it just didn't work but Ijust I think it's so crazy
because if it's sponsored bycomcast, comcast has so much
money.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
They're a huge conglomerate.
You know, did youtube like pushit on their like discovery page
at all?
Like, if you just open upyoutube blank, you know, without
blogging in or anything,there'll be videos like
suggested ones like they airedlive.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
They aired live on youtube.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I don't know, I feel like there was a lot yeah
youtube has a lot of differentways of trying to trying to
compete with the other ones,like you know, like hulu has the
same thing and yeah that's so Ithink it is.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
There's so much space for that type of content.
It is, but it's sooversaturated.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Like there's so much option.
Who's talking games?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Who's talking games?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Nerd culture.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
But the idea behind it for me is.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
If you want to bring it back out, why don't market to
the people that used to watchit?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
So go back to yeah, Millennials.
Dude, why didn't they do that?
Mark it to the people that usedto watch it?
I'm angry.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
That's the other thing is they're trying to
market it to Gen Zers.
But Gen Zers are not playingthe type of games they're
playing Fortnite and stuff andsome of that just doesn't
translate to life.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
All the influencers.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
I didn't know any of them Okay so, that being said,
what do you think?
What app?
Plenty of them, okay.
So, that being said, what doyou think?
What app if us, our generation,gen Z or whatever, what do you
think they're going to watchthat the reboots at?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
If it had to be an app like an Amazon Prime or
Netflix or something.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Slash network that will like Well right now.
Netflix is going into live atthe end of the year with some
sports.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, of course now.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And then Max has live sports.
Yep, yeah, um, so it'shappening.
Live content is happening.
Doesn't disney have espn?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
yeah but disney is kind of like movies and things
like that, so it's like but, yes, they have espn, that's what
she's saying yeah, so, yeah, sothink about it like uh,
paramount plus, but you'retalking live content on disney,
thinking about old, old stuff,reboot, so like say, if you want
to reboot a old classic orsomething to bring back right
and you want to get those sameviewers, like I remember, like I
(38:08):
said, paramount did bring outthe real world, like for one
minute, a hot minute, theyliterally showed all the old
real worlds or whatever.
Yeah, and even now they haveall the older shows.
Well, well, comcast would bePeacock.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
I mean, that's what I'm saying, but that would be
terrible, but still as much asthe younger generation does
determine what's hot andeverything like that, or they
don't really determine what'shot, they still be waiting for
things to know what's hot.
So if you were to put it outthere and market it to the
people who used to watch it,when we start clipping it up and
(38:40):
making TikToks, putting it outthere and market it to the
people who used to watch it whenwe start clipping it up and
making TikToks putting it outthere and all of that, and then
the kids find it, then they'regoing to get on it yeah, this is
our shit.
They don't know Exactly, so wewe will still have to introduce
it to them, the same way thatwe're introducing them to two
thousands and nineties.
Rmb and other things like that.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I feel like there's far less.
There's far less.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
That's old man.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Old people like damn that's a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
I gotta do I gotta?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
do all that work to get the stuff that I love doing,
if you want the flash in thepan.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That's what it's going to be.
But if you put in the work toget what you're going to get out
of it, that's what it's goingto be also.
So if you don't put in the workto actually market it properly
and actually put it out properly, then it's not going to do what
it's supposed to do.
And, just like he said, theytried to market it to millennia.
I mean to Gen Zers.
But the idea behind it is a lotof Gen Zers don't care about
(39:32):
what happened before them.
No, unless somebody else toldthem.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Hey that was dope.
You should know about this.
I mean, that's's a closing line, like how everybody's now doing
the baggy jeans again, exactlyyeah.
And like, yeah, bell bottomsare making a comeback, yeah,
yeah.
It's like, what's that song?
I know they are, but they'redoing it wrong.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
There was some song from the 80s, a pop song.
Uh, you know I'm running upthat hill.
You know it was like trendingon stranger things exactly.
It was on strangeranger Things.
All the Gen Zers saw it andit's like viral and like
everyone's following her.
It's really great for theartist, but it's just
interesting how trends from likeway long ago are coming back
(40:11):
Because it's a recycle, exactly.
It's being presented to themfor the first time.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
But that's always been this whole generation.
Nothing's new under the sun.
Nothing's new under the sun.
Nothing is new.
Everything is being recycled.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
And everything ends up getting recycled every 20 to
30 years anyway, so the factthat bell bottoms are coming out
, that is an 80s thing.
So, this is the first timewhere it's getting 40s.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Anybody who has that old outfit from what's it called
Jodeci oh shit, it's getting40s.
Anybody who has that old outfitfrom what's it called Jodeci,
it's coming back.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I hope niggas don't got leather suits still.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
If you got Jankos, they're coming back Stop.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
You couldn't even see your shoes when you wore those.
I did have the zip off Cargopants.
They're coming back.
Stop right now.
You couldn't even see yourshoes when you wore those.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I did have the zip off cargo pants, the zip jar.
They're coming back.
Stop right now If any of youniggas come out with leather
pants and a whole leather suit.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
They're coming back, bro, I bet you.
I bet you.
What's the dude from PulpFiction?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
DMV Fashion.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Did we have somebody?
Speaker 1 (41:19):
with leather pants.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
Did we have somebody with leather pants?
Did we have somebody with them?
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Oh man, and I told him to chill.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
I told him to chill.
I don't know what it said.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I told him to chill, but hey, and bell bottoms, what
am I making sense?
And the words.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Leather bell bottoms.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yo, it was wild, that's wild, it was wild.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
That's a double whammy it was wild.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
But.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
It was a dangerous man.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
We can't speak on that right now, Mark.
We can't speak on.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
But in the words of ego anywho, Anywho.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Anywho, but yeah, no, Generation Content Recycles.
It's a great time to be incontent creation.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I mean be in uh content creation so yeah, when a
lot of people gonna get theirmoney and a lot of people going.
You know, yeah and and get somerecognition so hopefully it's
so it works out for everybody,all right.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
So like again.
You know, you heard my third,anywho.
Uh, annabelle, what else?
What's the next step in yourcareer that you're planning on
jumping on?
Speaker 3 (42:16):
oh man, no, I was, which you can speak on no, I was
really lucky to dip into thecamera crew this year and they
were able to embrace me and Iwas learning so much, um, so I'm
just really hoping on growingin that field and, you know,
being able to be a camera, beingpart of the camera crew on like
a movie, would be amazing.
(42:37):
Nice, being a batman project ismy dream, doesn't?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
matter what it is but a batman project I guess all
right, never mind, as as I justI just don't like batman, shit,
I don't like batman.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
You know, black man you know, that could be another
pod, that could be a oh no, wecan definitely talk about it.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Fuck that.
If y'all won't get into it, wecan get into it, it's fine.
We don't have time for that.
We don't have time for that.
I give you that we don't havetime for that it's fine when
people don't understand.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
It's fine when people don't understand.
All right, we got time for that.
All right, and go in on movies,because actually I think it
would be a dope ass topic.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
I think there's a lot that could be said.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
We could talk about movies and hip hop and Fuck
Batman, hey, hey hey, what doyou like?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
I mean, I just don't like Batman.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
What do you like though?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
I'm more of a Marvel guy.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
So, what do you like?
I'm asking?
You said fuck Batman to a diehard, so I want to know I mean
why and who do you like?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
okay.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Well then, if this is , I'm not talking to anger, I'm
talking to patreon followershere.
Who do I like?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I like so many.
I mean the avengers are allgreat although iron man is.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Basically, why is it?
Why is it so hurtful?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
no, no, in the avengers he is.
Why are you?
Speaker 1 (44:02):
so hurtful let him speak.
Let him speak, that's all ironman is completely different from
batman on the simple fact thateven in the first iron man army,
in the first iron man movie,what did iron man do?
He took out a terroristorganization.
That's what he did.
Oh yeah, I'm not arguing that.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
So when you look at but didn't Batman do that in
Batman Begins?
Hmm, I mean Arguably Wasn'tRa's al Ghul's place a terrorist
organization?
No, he was trying to blow upthe city.
What are you talking about?
Are you talking about comicsversus movies.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
I'm talking about like an international criminal
organization, a some movies Aninternational criminal
organization.
A League of Assassins.
So you don't know, that's fine.
No, peep peep, peep, peep,that's fine.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Peep, peep, peep.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
It's fine.
So Iron man is talking to anerd.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Iron man is completely different, because
one Iron man also will tell youwho he is.
He's not hiding from nobody.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I spoke for me, not for Animal man.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
My problem with Batman is Batman has the ability
to take down so many differentinternational criminal
organizations, even just CEOsall types of things that he
could take down but what does hespend his time doing?
(45:25):
Chasing down a bunch of crazymotherfuckers and locking them
up to the point that they getout over and over again and keep
terrorizing the city.
Yeah, because he's crazy justlike them, and he walks around
with a suit hiding his identitybut also showing half of his
face, which is completely wildto me.
(45:46):
That's a lot of people, no, nono, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
no.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
Cyclops Wolverine Daredevil.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
A lot of superheroes.
One have powers and two don'twork closely with the police.
Okay, batman works closely withthe police.
He's a detective.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
With the commissioner .
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Batman spends the majority of his time chasing
down mentally ill people andcommon street thugs, fighting a
bunch of people that have nopowers and losing against them.
Y'all get on my nerves losingagainst them.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
Oh my gosh, y'all getting my nerves.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Y'all getting my nerves.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
This is nerd talk.
Can we have a nerd talk podcastIf?
Speaker 3 (46:29):
Superman was a killer .
He couldn't be part of it,though.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
If Superman was a killer, he would wipe Batman's
entire criminal, entire, all hisenemies out in about 10 minutes
and Batman spends his entirelife messing with these people.
But Batman can take outSuperman, batman can take out
everybody with powers, but hecan't take out his own villains
(46:54):
that don't have powers.
It's not real.
Cool man, y'all right.
It's not real, y'all right.
Do it, y'all right.
Right.
Powers, it's not real.
Cool man, it's all right.
It's not real, you're right.
Do it, you're right, right.
Every other superhero got tofight a whole bunch of people
with powers and they have powersthemselves to do and those
villains are still around whichvillains?
Speaker 4 (47:12):
are still around all villains, all the villains, all
of them, the way it's kind oflike there's no way, there's no
way that somebody's killed.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Black Panther killed Killmonger, did he not?
This is a movie, so what?
Speaker 4 (47:25):
are you?
You're going back.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I'm just saying, did he not?
No, so you're talking like big,but you're only talking about
movies.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Oh yeah, I'm just, I'm literally just strictly
speaking about that.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
But even the things no, I don't know that, so I'm
literally just strictly speakingabout that, but even the things
that I'm saying about Batmanare still.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
But you don't read comic books.
Majority true, but you don'tread comic books.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Oh no, I'm not deep into the comic books.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
I have read comic books, but I'm not deep, so your
scope is limited.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Very limited.
I will say that Perfect Learnme something, so when it comes
to movies, learn me something.
Sure, perfect, learn.
So, when it comes to movies,learn me something sure?
Speaker 3 (48:00):
no, learn me something.
We've only seen one set ofmarvel movies to this point.
Learn me something.
No, I'm right, we've only seenone set of marvel movies.
Yeah, that's all.
And we've seen a coupleiterations of batman at this
point, but I can understand thefatigue, but once again I was
more of a marvel person Iwatched
Speaker 4 (48:16):
I love spider man.
I read I love spider man I readx-men comic books.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
I read you know what I'm saying the show in the 90s,
the evolution of the dream.
It just sounds like all thethings you say you hate about
Batman.
It's just they're everywhere incomics.
I don't like I said.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
I don't think once again, I don't think that all
the other superheroes withpowers worked close with the
police.
You don't like that aspectpolice and weren't trying their
hardest to take out and weren'ttrying their hardest to take out
their own enemies.
If Wolverine could have tookyou out, he was taking you out.
If Cyclops was taking you out,he was going to take you out.
(48:51):
Spider-man was probably theonly person that wasn't trying
to hurt people.
Ace Boogie.
Speaker 4 (48:57):
Stop what man we're having a talk no, we're not.
We're going around in circles.
This is one of those things.
We're having a talk.
I'm getting mad, I'm gettingmad.
Look, he's getting mad man.
He ain't even in the talk.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
He's getting mad, but alright, well, cool hey we
