Speaker 1 (00:40):
Welcome back to another episode of Kicking with Kiki, Life,
love and all that other ship. I am your host,
Kiki Chanel. Y'all should know that by now were in
season eight. I have a regular today, Tim. You know
you done been on every season except for season seven. Right, Yes,
tell the people they should know you by now, But
in case.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Stay, don't.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Just tell them who you are or what you do.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
For those who don't know, Boy, Tim host of the
Real Talk with Tim podcast. Listen, I'm in season eight
as well. You know my podcast. We talk about everything,
no conversations left unspoken. We talk about a little bit
of everything. Relationships, love, life, fatherhood, reactions. I'm doing reactions
(01:24):
now to all the crazy shit that happened on the internet.
Y'all know how it goes. So yeah. Oh, but I
did have my long layoff too, so I want to
thank you. Keith for bringing me back on because listen,
we got unfinished business, and that's exactly the title of
my season.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Okay, nice, I'm finished business.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I like that. So we can get into everything, like,
how was the hiatus? I know you took us some time,
you know, to refocus, regroup, had a lot of life
stuff going on, So how was the yatis?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's That's pretty much all it was. I just had
to focused on everything. And y'all gonna hear in the
first episode that come out March first, y'all gonna hear
me talk about everything. But I just had to. I
had to do a whole lot of self reflection on
myself and my podcast. I had to think about, you know,
what direction I wanted to go now? Because at some point,
(02:18):
you know, when you're doing this or any type of
content creation, at some point you get to you get
you get to a point in your uh, in your
career where you're like, man, what now, you know what
I'm saying or what else I'm gonna talk about? Now?
What direction I'm going now? Because we can't keep recording
episodes forever, so at some point it's like, what I'm
gonna do now? Like with you, Kiki, you know you
(02:39):
an author, you can write books, you write magazines. You
know you can do this, do that. You know you
gotta you gotta have for everything, And for me myself,
for the most part, the only had our ward was
just podcasting. So I always mentioned here and then that
it's just the foundation for me because you know, I'm versatile,
I can I want to do other things though, you know,
(03:01):
I want to put a book out, I want to
showcase my acting skills, I want to do the talk
show host thing. I want to do a little bit
of everything. So hopefully with this podcast and putting episodes
and my voice out did and open up doors to
a lot of those things.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Absolutely absolutely, And so you're moving at it the right way.
You have that mindset of growth. You don't have that
scarcity or lack mentality like some people get complacent and
just feel like, Okay, I'm good right here, it's comfortable.
I don't like change, I don't want to grow, and
you ain't never been like that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So yeah, well, I ain't gonna lie though, Like I
felt like that for a little bit. I felt like
it's not that I didn't want changes that like I
was scared to do something. You know how they say
dare to be great? Right, Like I was scared to
do something new because what I was already doing was
(03:56):
working real well. So I was like, dang, what if
I do this and it don't work? See what I'm saying. So,
like I mentioned a bunch of times already like this
new my new social media page for Instagram. Right when
I remade that page, it was hard to get my
followers back. Oh yeah, and like so and people say
they don't pay attention to the followers and all this
(04:18):
and all that, But I say, that's that's the most
important thing because that just me and you got more
eyes on your stuff, more eyes on your content, more
ears listen to your content. Because just imagine trying to
push a podcast or promote your social media and you
got twenty followers. Yeah, that's twenty people, but like, come on,
let's be real. But if you have seven thousand, you
(04:42):
see what I'm saying. You got seven thousand people to impress.
You got seven thousand people to impress, which is a
better chance and just trying to you know what I'm saying,
and press twenty people, it's still the same thing. But
you know, seven and twenty two different numbers obviously, but
I was in a place where I was like, man,
I don't know this is gonna work. But and it's
not that I ain't even gonna use the word scared.
(05:04):
I was never scared to do anything. I'm never scared
to do nothing. But it's just like it's more so
like man, I hope this thing work or I don't
think this will work or something like that. I don't know.
It's it's crazy, this whole this whole thing crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, but I get exactly what you're saying, like I
want to do more, but what's working. If it don't,
if it's not broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But I agree with those followers because I started my
media page and trying to get the people that follow
you on your other page to cross over. It's like
pulling teeth, Like, nah, I already follow you on some
I don't share the same content on both my pages though,
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
What I had to do a lot of times I
direct I DM people directly, like I literally, like like
just the other day, I went to my old real
Talk with ten page because it's still up. It's still up.
So I went to the page, I went to the followers,
and now everybody that I knew or recognized, I DM
(06:00):
all them one by one by one by one, because
I always say that it's people are Look. I love people,
but people are slow. Sometimes you gotta hold they hand.
You gotta hold their hand because you can't just like
you can't just like message people or not even just
mess with You can't just post something and sit and
think people want to see it. Because a lot of times,
(06:23):
and I guarantee you, you and I do this too
when we get on our social media pages. It don't
even got to be our podcast pages. It could be
a personal pages whatever. I can guarantee you eighty percent
of people do this. They scroll for a minute like this.
They keep this with people do they scroll like this?
Just keep you. But that's just the mindset of people now,
(06:44):
Like I don't know if it's I don't know if
it's people saying to themselves like same shit, every day,
same But that's crazy. And see what I say in
my first episode. When I come back, I tell myself,
I say, I feel like another statistic because everybody got
a podcasts, everybody getting a podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So but but it's only you it's only one you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That it's only one me. But the point I'm trying
to make it is like it's like, all right, I'm
just another My podcast is just another podcast. But I
just gotta make it stand out. I gotta make it
stand out to the people who do this, yep. Like
that's that's why they have things like promoting and stuff
like that. But how can you promote when you gotta
(07:27):
if you ain't using the right hashtags or the right
tagging the right people. And even if you do tag people, man,
it's like they like, you know, but I say a
whole lot of things in my first episode when I
when I when you're all here March first, man, oh
my god, Like I kind of snapped a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Hey, sometimes it needs to be said. Sometimes you need
to be said.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But you know, and in the in the creativity realm,
it's all about who you know, and it's all about
the people that said the top. They're not pulling us,
the little people that put into the work, that got
the episodes to proven and stuff like that. They getting
other people that that's that's into the fame part. Like
they got eyes on it, and I get it. I
(08:12):
totally understand. But it's like somebody that's making a difference,
that's giving people of voices, that's sharing episodes, that's about
real reality and being truthful talking because you know, you're
talking about life as a girl, girl as a girl, Dad,
you're getting wrong with stuff about that you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
So yeah, it's just it's a catch twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I got five of those, by the way, y'all five
of those, and actually one of one of those, one
of them, I think it's the the first one, one
of them, I think is my most played episode ever
though mm hmm. Actually Life is a Girl, That Life
is a Girl, that the first Life is a Girl
(08:54):
Dad is my second most played episode ever out of
my out of all of my coin my first one,
my first one is my interview that I did with
Tyler Paride season seven and eight writers from the show Systems.
That was that's my most played episode ever. You see
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
So, look, it's gonna happen to him.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You just gotta stay stay consistent, stay passionate about it,
and stay putting that content out because you got to
put the content out. Even when you take a highatus,
you know, it's good to relax and regroup and rewind
or whatever. But I always try to have something that
you've already created to put, like clips from from last
year or last season and stuff like that so you
(09:37):
can stay.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was thinking about it
before the New Year kicked out. I was gonna do that,
but then I.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Was like, you talk yourself out of it, man.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, I talked about See. I think part of my
problem is, like I'm very picky with what I put out,
and I do that when I record my episodes, because
even if I make the slightest mistake, like I like,
I a lot of you not episode two of season
eight that's about to come out. I recorded, it, is
recorded and done already, right, but I was unhappy with
(10:11):
it after it recorded because my voice sounded too far
away from the mic. So I told my guests in
the next season, I said, we gotta do this over
because when you listen to all my stuff, my voice
is it sounds a certain way. When you listen to
(10:32):
this one my voice that sounds far away, and I
can't just put that out. It got to be right.
I got I work. I worked hard on myself. You
see what I'm saying, So and speaking of that. It's like,
I don't want to just like like because it's been
so long since I put out something, put out an episode.
(10:55):
I don't want to just be putting out stuff old
stuff that people seen, or I don't want to just
keep putting out quotes and stuff like that. I want
to put out an episode. It's gonna come March first.
The reason why it's so far out is because I
want to make sure the whole season is recorded and
(11:16):
done so I won't have to have no problems on recording,
taking no layoffs, and even after this season done, see
I want to get to a point where I want
to just do like only lives, like not just Instagram Live,
maybe YouTube lives. I don't know. I don't really want
to push a YouTube thing too much, but I want
to get to a point where my podcast is only
(11:38):
a live podcast once a week. I don't want to
keep doing the ten plus episode things because it's gonna
become too much. But I want to get see my followers,
my followers. Got to get to a point where I
have like I have the same amount of people that
(11:59):
tune in and like I can engage with people, you know,
like how you join the typical celebrities live and they
got like one hundred people, two hundred one thousand, So
you can talk and float with it, and people can
be saying stuff in the comments and you can piggyback
off what they're saying, turn it into a convo, like.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh, you already know. That's how my podcast started live
on Instagram. I was going live every Monday night. And
you build like that and people get a face behind
the voice, and then you know, you just have a
you build up since some community and stuff. Yeah, yeah,
I love that idea though.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I think that'll be amazing. And I told you about
the games, Like, get some of them games and have
them people come up here. We're gonna play a game
because people like to compete and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Man, I don't think they're ready for them game.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But we don't talk about life a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We've been talking about it, but when it comes to
I mean, because we both podcasts and you've been podcasting
a little bit longer than me, when it comes to life,
what have you learned? What have you being a podcaster
taught you about life?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
What's the way to word uh with podcasting? Talk me
about life is just take everything one step at a time.
Don't overwhelm yourself, because one thing about podcasting you going
to multitask, especially like if you're doing it by yourself,
if you promoting by yourself, you editing by yourself, you
(13:29):
engaging on the social media as by yourself. You ain't
got nobody running your pages, You ain't got nobody editing
your stuff. You ain't got nobody adding the music to
your stuff. You ain't got nobody doing none.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Of that, and yourself too.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, and then it's like when you are doing all
of that, you get you can get overwhelmed, you can
feel defeated, you can feel like you don't want to
do it no more. And the only reason you feel
like that is because it ain't really no results showing
that it's like pushing you to do or like like
I always say, like when I'm not posting, people be
(14:03):
asking me like when you're coming out with another episode
or why you stop or when the next one coming out?
When people do that to me or say that to
me and make me feel like, damn, y'all you still
want to hear this and it ain't but a handful
of people that, like I guess it's people that know
me directly or personally, that contact me directly or whatever.
(14:25):
When they do that, it make me feel real good
because it's like, damn, so I cannot be doing something
and people notice. So that's the only thing that pushed me,
like literally, because I'm still going to be the person
that y'all hear and see this on the platform. I'm
still a talker. I still got the personality y'all see.
(14:47):
I'm still doing this and showing this offline. But when
I do it online and I take it offline, and
you know I took it offline, they make me want
to keep it online. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So that's so. So I think when people get defeated,
field defeated, feel overwhell and all that and they not
receiving love and stuff like that. That data that's yeah,
that's what life taught me. All right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I love that, And we're gonna talk a little bit
and that you could be that devil's advocate or I
can be devil's advocate when it comes to podcasting, because
I know it's a certain podcaster that's making millions off
his podcast that you absolutely despise this because when you're
(15:39):
trying to get no lawsuits or nothing like that.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But when you listen to podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Or when you come across people and their content bashing
one one species over the other, how does that make
you feel? And how does it make you want to
go even harder with your content? Because you're you're you're number.
You know, you're not biased when it comes to the
stuff that you put out. How you back?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean when I I obviously know what I mean,
I be getting it. I understand why they do it.
You know what I'm saying, because I'm like, all right, this,
this is their thing because they want to attract this
type of audience. So I get it. I'm not hating,
but it's like, but when I hear it, I just
be like, like your listeners they got it. They like
they can't be that slow and stupid, you know what
(16:27):
I'm saying, Because like when you say, like, for example,
I'm not gonna get on here and say, ladies, when
this how you know a man cheating because when he
do this, you he he mean this. Or make sure
you go through his phone because it's always in his phone,
or and then my next video say ladies, this is
(16:49):
how you know your man, don't look you. And then
my next video say ladies, fourth video, ladies, fifth video, ladies.
Like you clearly want like you clearly care whole lot
about your female follow female listeners to the point where
you want to you want your content to cater to them.
But what I care about is if you mixing it up,
(17:11):
if you say, fellas, this is how you know Fellas,
this is what you pay attention to, Fellas, this is
what you do fellas, this is how you do it.
That's what I care about, because I'd be like, come on, man, like,
I know what you're doing, but that's not the way
to do it. Wont you give a little bit of
something to each person? Do do it that way? But
(17:33):
when I but when I sit and think about it,
sometimes I'm not even gonna lie, I ain't even gonna lie.
Like sometimes I be asking myself like is that the
way to go? Is that the way to progress? Do
you really have to be?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Do you really have to cater to get your shit
out there? Do you really have to only? Like imagine
if if if I had, if I had a podcast
right that was specifically for men, and all I did
is bash women. I will not have no female listeners
because I will be bashing the hell out of them.
(18:10):
You see what I'm saying? What if? What if? What if?
All my content was like, hey, fellas, man, just how
you know your lady cheating on your fellas?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How you know your lady lying to you?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Check her phone? Man, do this? Don't do this shit
for her Shade White's material. They were like, they gonna
scroll right on paths.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Nigga please, nigga, please, nigga, please, like, come on, man,
I just I just hate it. That's why I always
stay neutral unless it's an unless it's something where uh
it has to be said, then I'm going to say
it about that particular agenda. I got an episode called
(18:49):
Dead be Dad's. I got an episode called Journey through Fatherhood.
I got an episode called Applying Pressure and that applies
to everybody m I got an episode called Toxic Men
Versus Toxic Women Part one ad Part two. I got
an episode called Ken a Woman Chopperman with a baby.
(19:12):
I got an episode called Blended Families. My ship is neutral.
It's for everybody. Everybody, and the type of things that
I talk about, I'd be like I'm talking about everything.
I'm trying to be positive, but nobody cares about positivity,
negativity and sex.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That right. But here's the thing though, because your best friend,
he somebody must have got in his ear because he
has another show that he has men and women guest
on there, so he needed he needed to join forces
with the opposite sex bring it more of a neutral ground,
because I know.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
For a fact some men and women.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Was probably getting in his ass about like, look, this
is not right and you need to quit doing it.
But I'm glad that it's working out. You know, you
got your sponsors. The sponsors want you to have this
type of deal or this type of show because you've
been bringing in the money with the views and content
and stuff like that. You got to do it because
guess what, you want to make sure that you keep
your sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, and that's a shit. Look that's another thing, man.
I ain't even gonna lie like I've been showing some
real desperate actions, man, because I be dming, I'll probably
already be knowing like I'm not gonna get no responses.
I be dming. Like companies, i'd be like, can y'all
sponsor me? I'll just be trying to do any and everything, Cause,
(20:36):
like I said, I'm doing everything myself. I don't have
no managing, no agent, no nothing like that. So I'm
trying to put my name in everybody's vision, you know
what I'm saying. Like I've talked to I've talked to
a few, quite a few semi famous people. Celebrities depend
on how high or low profile you want to rank
(20:57):
them or whatever. And I've and every time I talk
to them, they always asked me, how many followers do
you have? How long are your shows? Do you have
a media kit? How many followers? I got? It, don't matter.
I want to talk to you. Come on my damn platform.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I mean, I I that's why you can't come like that.
But yeah, no, no.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, That's what I'm saying, Like I ain't coming like that.
But I'm like, why the fuck you care about how
many follows I got? I get it. Everything is a business.
Everybody want to everybody want to benefit off of what
they're doing. But it's like, all right, y'all, look listen,
no matter what you do, if you're a rapper, singer, actor, podcaster,
(21:40):
skip maker, I don't care what you do if you
are at a certain level in your career with that
where you're like high profile and you know that there
are other people who are trying to do what you
do and they are a bit low profile. If you
know they trying to do the same thing you doing,
why not And to go back to what you said
earlier about pulling up the ladder stuff like that, if
(22:01):
you know we trying to make a name for ourselves too,
and you're there, you can help. You can help. Come
on my come to my come to my show. Give
me like ten minutes though, I'm telling you ten minutes
to talk. It's a little girl. I don't know her name.
It's a little girl that's going that's on, that's on TikTok,
on Instagram, something like that. And she'd be it's a
little girl like she probably about ten or something, you
(22:23):
probably saying it before, a little white girl. She'd be
talking to celebrities and all that stuff, like with a
mobile little microphone, and I'd be like, you know, what
the hell, man, like, come on, what's what's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You got sponsors that's backing her, like, and she probably
has an agent and all that too, because that matters
because you're paying them to work for you, so they
gonna try their best to get you out there because
they want to get that check.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
So it's it's the.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Business is all about the coin. What a dollar, I
should say, because we don't do the coins, and you.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Know how to be putting their emails in the bios, right,
So I mean looking at that, and I'd be like,
hm for booking. Huh. Let's try this, man. I sent
master pr email like three years ago. Don't put don't
put your email in there if you don't use your email.
(23:16):
I understand y'all busy, y'all got stuff going on, but
let's be real. Man. Now, I grew up listening to
the master P. That's my adult, that's my man's. Master
P is cool as fuck from from what I see
on camera, But let's be real, master P, how much
you got going on where you ain't respond to an
email three years? Dog?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Do you really think checking his own email?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, that's what I'm or whoever check it? Like, why
do you? Why do you put a business email in
your bio if no one checks it?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, they probably did check it. They probably was like,
oh next.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And you know why, you know what they do know
what they probably do. They probably people probably get asked
asked for interviews all the time. And this is what
I mean when I say just another statistic, because if
we are podcast or they're like five hundred thousand other
podcasters behind us. So it's like so when they see
(24:14):
the word, hey, come on podcast, come on with podcast,
podcast podcast. Yeah, if you ain't no High pro if
you ain't Charlemagne, DJ Envy, if you ain't Jennifer Hudson
and all of them, you ain't getting them.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Back.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But how we gonna get there? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Gotta keep doing the work, man, Keep getting out there.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That's the only thing I could tell you, because as
you build and grow, they will come.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What wrong't build it, they will come.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's probably easy to have people work for you, though.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Run your accounts for you and all that you know.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Did you you best believe that you're paying them to
do so nothing is free.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Ain't nobody just volunteering to run social media? Because that
is a hard job.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Think about it, you.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
See how what you do?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Just think about like big time celebrities, that that's that's
a job.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That is a job, man, I'll be jumping on people lives.
I'll be like, man, follow me.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
List, get somebody, and you will get a couple of
followers or whatever. But I would ready to have authentic
followers than somebody just a bot. And then the next thing,
you know, your followers go down when they when the block.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I love the page first, Yep. I don't catch all
of them, but I'll be trying to though. I'll be
trying to catch them bots.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I called like over one hundred and something. I was
going through my my follow lists and all of.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That and show your least interacted followers. Yeah yeah, yep, yep, and.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Talking about love a little bit, tim, what's going on
in your love?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Look at that smile? Feel and fell in love over there?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Look a little bit, a little bit of everything, A
bunch of little changes and stuff like that. You know, Yeah,
we we we got we got you see the smile.
We got some smiles going on over there.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You go. I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So what has been a podcaster taught you about love
that I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Need to take my own advice sometimes.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yes, it was a whole lot of things that I
said on my podcast where it was things that I
haven't done, but it was all but at the same time,
it was also things that I know I would do.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Mm hmm, got you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, And that makes a big difference when you actually
can go back and say, dang, I was just talking
about this and listen, I need to make sure that
I'm I need to. I don't need to be a
hypocrite right now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, yeah, No, that's the main thing I just wanted you.
I just I try to make sure I follow my own.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Word, right, Yes, indeed, So we're gonna get into all
that other shit, and we done talked about that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Do you believe that life is worth living without all
that other shit?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Depends on what other shit you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
All the trials, tribulations, toxic relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You know, all if road blocks, fumbling blocks.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Everything that can be considered as all that other shit.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well you gotta remember, without the roadblocks and obstacles and
all that stuff, you wouldn't even know if life would
be worth living if you don't go through that stuff yet, Yes,
because if you don't, it's almost like when you just
work hard for something, right, just like now we're talking
about the podcast. We're working hard to get to a
(27:57):
certain level. Now, if we get to that certain level
in a year, then we're gonna look back at everything
that we was talking about and everything that we did,
and we were like, shit, oh my god, I feel
so good. It's just like getting your first big check.
You know what I'm saying. You're gonna worked all that
old time. You're like, whoof that paid off? Thank God?
(28:20):
But like when life, life is a whole different ball game.
So it's like, like, for example, all the failed relationships
you go through, they teach you everything one by one.
They teach you something one by one, each of them,
right or they should.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Some people just ignore it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah. Or when you finally when you finally get your
when you finally get your person or your soulmate or
somebody that you think is your soulmate, then it's like, damn,
I know from these last ten relationships I've been in
that I knew not to do this or watch out
for this, or make sure I get treated like this,
or make sure I treat my person like this, because
(28:58):
when I didn't, it ended like this and all that.
So all I'm saying is when you go through obstacles,
hit roadblocks, fall down a hundred times, get up on
a hundred times. Those all of those things make life
worth living at the end because you look back at
all that shit, because you're gonna say, damn, I got
(29:19):
twenty roadblocks, I got through twenty roll blocks, I went
through fifty obstacles. I went through fifty obstacles, broke through
twenty roadblocks, went through seventeen bad relationships, and I'm here
and this shit is worth living.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Ye what I'm saying, yes, I love I love it
because I love to ask that question because some people
say no, are some people say yes? And I like
the breakdown of it because sometimes people they just dodge bullets,
like life don't come at them as hard as it
comes at other people. Bless them.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And I don't understand, like when you know you dodge
something in life, it's a reason why you dodged it.
Look at the word you dodged. It didn't happen to you.
So it's almost like escaping death. How could you You
know how many times people get in car accidents and
they live. And when you talk to your loved ones,
(30:11):
what they say, what they say, I'm glad you, Okay,
I don't care about the car you alive.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, yeah, because that's material we could get the another.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You go outside, it's a big shootout if you make
it in the house. Oh shit, I'm glad you okay,
because I heard bullets outside. You just escape death, right,
So how you should be people should be given away better?
I don't know. No, you better think about it, because
we go through we go through shit every day, and
(30:43):
we should be thankful for every breath we take. Every day. Man,
every day some people don't wake up. Some people die
with no explanation. The saying is here today, gone.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Tomorrow, here today, going today?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Everybody that everybody, I'm sure everybody know a person that
passed away and with the say, damn, I've just seen them.
Oh damn, I just talked to them.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
So it's too many times. It's happening too much, man.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's happening too much. And speaking of all that other shit,
how do you feel about the state of this country
right now, in this moment in time, Well.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
The state of this country has never been my thing
to talk about, you know why, because I ain't even
gonna lie to y'all. I'm not too I'm not too
educated on the government stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I ain't talking about the government.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, no, no, I'm just saying, oh you mean just anything,
just anything?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, no politics at all.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Man. Look, I don't like it, but like I tell
my friends all the time, all this stuff is beyond
my control. I'm just one voice. So it's like all
this stuff is when things are out of my control.
I'm not gonna say I don't paying no attention because
I obviously do because I know what's going on, but
I can't change it. I mean, you got kids out
(32:08):
here wilding out, breaking in cars, breaking in houses. You know,
you got people getting robbed or they clothing? Are they dogs?
Like this? It's just stupid man, people, stupid people not
getting their people under control. It's not enough laws in
place that people are It's not enough laws in place
that's making people scared.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I think it starts at home.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Though, everything start at home. That's why I say, like
people losing too much control over their people, man, And
like it's not enough laws or rules in place that's
making people worried about breaking them.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh yeah, like it's going to jail is glamorize them,
Like Okay, I'm at least I'm gonna eat good and
I'm gonna have a place to sleep versus you know,
I might stay at my homeboy's house the other day,
my grandma gonna lock me out, my mom, I don't care.
My daddy ain't nowhere around. It's a lot to take
(33:03):
in about that. But the reason why I asked that
because I wanted a guide perspective on like some of
the stuff that happening, because you know, you see the
news with the fires and all of that, and I'm like,
that was not.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Not on purpose, like somebody did that on purpose. I
really do believe that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
What set on fire though, like other than people homes, though,
like where do they do they where they said started
from or like that's.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
What I'm saying that they didn't. They're not talking about that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
It's controversial, yeah, because guess what the Olympics is supposed
to be yet next time and Cali and La all right,
and we're gonna end on that note because we ain't trying.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To have nothing.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But you know what they should happen though, I think
everybody who lost their homes should get their home, uh,
get placed in a home for free, or get their
home rebuilt for free.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
YEP, I agree.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Something ship should be done.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
All this and Seawan's money. You know what I don't
like though, I don't like how all these celebrities, any celebrity,
anybody in Hollywood, whatever, did everybody get on their social media?
They post these little tweets and statuses and ship and stories.
Oh much love to Kelly, much love to this, much
(34:25):
love to death. They saying all this good ship, but
nobody putting up their money to help nobody get their home.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
That right there is a touchy for me because I
don't feel like you need to broadcast what you do
because it's just a lot. Like Prince was one of
the one of the ones that gave. He was a humanitarian.
He gave so much. We didn't know that he actually
passed away because he didn't talk about it.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So I understand, and sometimes you can't.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
If I was like that in that position, I wouldn't
tell nobody either, because guess what, now you got people
with their hand out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
No, I'm talking about the people who like just speak
on it, like not like not the people who talk
about what they do, but the people who get on it,
like the people who just get on there and speak
on it, like Tyler Prairie. I think he said something.
He was talking about the insurance companies and how they
ripping people off and not helping them do nothing and
all that stuff. But why you talking about insurance companies
(35:27):
and what they not doing, But what you're gonna do
about it? I mean, don't. I mean, you don't have
to tell us shit. Half of them probably do do
stuff offline. I'm saying, we don't know that, But I
don't like when you get on there and speak on
it and you don't do nothing about it. Right, if
you are gonna get on there and talk, get on
(35:47):
there and say I will help to families, you know,
say something. Y'all got all his money. Y'all got all
his money, and maybe y'all are helping some people y'all
personally know, rebuild some stuff. I don't know, but that
will be nice. Though. Y'all making all this money, man,
we supporting your movies and all this your shows.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Give back, that's the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Just give back.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Hey, if God has blessed you with enough to give back,
why not. That's a no brainer, That's all I'm saying. Yeah,
all right, when you guys have been listening to another

Kiki Chanel. Y'all should know that by now were in
season eight. I have a regular today, Tim. You know
you done been on every season except for season seven. Right, Yes,
tell the people they should know you by now, But
in case.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Stay, don't.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Just tell them who you are or what you do.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
For those who don't know, Boy, Tim host of the
Real Talk with Tim podcast. Listen, I'm in season eight
as well. You know my podcast. We talk about everything,
no conversations left unspoken. We talk about a little bit
of everything. Relationships, love, life, fatherhood, reactions. I'm doing reactions
(01:24):
now to all the crazy shit that happened on the internet.
Y'all know how it goes. So yeah. Oh, but I
did have my long layoff too, so I want to
thank you. Keith for bringing me back on because listen,
we got unfinished business, and that's exactly the title of
my season.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Okay, nice, I'm finished business.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I like that. So we can get into everything, like,
how was the hiatus? I know you took us some time,
you know, to refocus, regroup, had a lot of life
stuff going on, So how was the yatis?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's That's pretty much all it was. I just had
to focused on everything. And y'all gonna hear in the
first episode that come out March first, y'all gonna hear
me talk about everything. But I just had to. I
had to do a whole lot of self reflection on
myself and my podcast. I had to think about, you know,
what direction I wanted to go now? Because at some point,
(02:18):
you know, when you're doing this or any type of
content creation, at some point you get to you get
you get to a point in your uh, in your
career where you're like, man, what now, you know what
I'm saying or what else I'm gonna talk about? Now?
What direction I'm going now? Because we can't keep recording
episodes forever, so at some point it's like, what I'm
gonna do now? Like with you, Kiki, you know you
(02:39):
an author, you can write books, you write magazines. You
know you can do this, do that. You know you
gotta you gotta have for everything, And for me myself,
for the most part, the only had our ward was
just podcasting. So I always mentioned here and then that
it's just the foundation for me because you know, I'm versatile,
I can I want to do other things though, you know,
(03:01):
I want to put a book out, I want to
showcase my acting skills, I want to do the talk
show host thing. I want to do a little bit
of everything. So hopefully with this podcast and putting episodes
and my voice out did and open up doors to
a lot of those things.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Absolutely absolutely, And so you're moving at it the right way.
You have that mindset of growth. You don't have that
scarcity or lack mentality like some people get complacent and
just feel like, Okay, I'm good right here, it's comfortable.
I don't like change, I don't want to grow, and
you ain't never been like that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So yeah, well, I ain't gonna lie though, Like I
felt like that for a little bit. I felt like
it's not that I didn't want changes that like I
was scared to do something. You know how they say
dare to be great? Right, Like I was scared to
do something new because what I was already doing was
(03:56):
working real well. So I was like, dang, what if
I do this and it don't work? See what I'm saying. So,
like I mentioned a bunch of times already like this
new my new social media page for Instagram. Right when
I remade that page, it was hard to get my
followers back. Oh yeah, and like so and people say
they don't pay attention to the followers and all this
(04:18):
and all that, But I say, that's that's the most
important thing because that just me and you got more
eyes on your stuff, more eyes on your content, more
ears listen to your content. Because just imagine trying to
push a podcast or promote your social media and you
got twenty followers. Yeah, that's twenty people, but like, come on,
let's be real. But if you have seven thousand, you
(04:42):
see what I'm saying. You got seven thousand people to impress.
You got seven thousand people to impress, which is a
better chance and just trying to you know what I'm saying,
and press twenty people, it's still the same thing. But
you know, seven and twenty two different numbers obviously, but
I was in a place where I was like, man,
I don't know this is gonna work. But and it's
not that I ain't even gonna use the word scared.
(05:04):
I was never scared to do anything. I'm never scared
to do nothing. But it's just like it's more so
like man, I hope this thing work or I don't
think this will work or something like that. I don't know.
It's it's crazy, this whole this whole thing crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, but I get exactly what you're saying, like I
want to do more, but what's working. If it don't,
if it's not broke, don't fix it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But I agree with those followers because I started my
media page and trying to get the people that follow
you on your other page to cross over. It's like
pulling teeth, Like, nah, I already follow you on some
I don't share the same content on both my pages though,
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
What I had to do a lot of times I
direct I DM people directly, like I literally, like like
just the other day, I went to my old real
Talk with ten page because it's still up. It's still up.
So I went to the page, I went to the followers,
and now everybody that I knew or recognized, I DM
(06:00):
all them one by one by one by one, because
I always say that it's people are Look. I love people,
but people are slow. Sometimes you gotta hold they hand.
You gotta hold their hand because you can't just like
you can't just like message people or not even just
mess with You can't just post something and sit and
think people want to see it. Because a lot of times,
(06:23):
and I guarantee you, you and I do this too
when we get on our social media pages. It don't
even got to be our podcast pages. It could be
a personal pages whatever. I can guarantee you eighty percent
of people do this. They scroll for a minute like this.
They keep this with people do they scroll like this?
Just keep you. But that's just the mindset of people now,
(06:44):
Like I don't know if it's I don't know if
it's people saying to themselves like same shit, every day,
same But that's crazy. And see what I say in
my first episode. When I come back, I tell myself,
I say, I feel like another statistic because everybody got
a podcasts, everybody getting a podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
So but but it's only you it's only one you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That it's only one me. But the point I'm trying
to make it is like it's like, all right, I'm
just another My podcast is just another podcast. But I
just gotta make it stand out. I gotta make it
stand out to the people who do this, yep. Like
that's that's why they have things like promoting and stuff
like that. But how can you promote when you gotta
(07:27):
if you ain't using the right hashtags or the right
tagging the right people. And even if you do tag people, man,
it's like they like, you know, but I say a
whole lot of things in my first episode when I
when I when you're all here March first, man, oh
my god, Like I kind of snapped a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Hey, sometimes it needs to be said. Sometimes you need
to be said.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But you know, and in the in the creativity realm,
it's all about who you know, and it's all about
the people that said the top. They're not pulling us,
the little people that put into the work, that got
the episodes to proven and stuff like that. They getting
other people that that's that's into the fame part. Like
they got eyes on it, and I get it. I
(08:12):
totally understand. But it's like somebody that's making a difference,
that's giving people of voices, that's sharing episodes, that's about
real reality and being truthful talking because you know, you're
talking about life as a girl, girl as a girl, Dad,
you're getting wrong with stuff about that you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
So yeah, it's just it's a catch twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I got five of those, by the way, y'all five
of those, and actually one of one of those, one
of them, I think it's the the first one, one
of them, I think is my most played episode ever
though mm hmm. Actually Life is a Girl, That Life
is a Girl, that the first Life is a Girl
(08:54):
Dad is my second most played episode ever out of
my out of all of my coin my first one,
my first one is my interview that I did with
Tyler Paride season seven and eight writers from the show Systems.
That was that's my most played episode ever. You see
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
So, look, it's gonna happen to him.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You just gotta stay stay consistent, stay passionate about it,
and stay putting that content out because you got to
put the content out. Even when you take a highatus,
you know, it's good to relax and regroup and rewind
or whatever. But I always try to have something that
you've already created to put, like clips from from last
year or last season and stuff like that so you
(09:37):
can stay.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was thinking about it
before the New Year kicked out. I was gonna do that,
but then I.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Was like, you talk yourself out of it, man.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, I talked about See. I think part of my
problem is, like I'm very picky with what I put out,
and I do that when I record my episodes, because
even if I make the slightest mistake, like I like,
I a lot of you not episode two of season
eight that's about to come out. I recorded, it, is
recorded and done already, right, but I was unhappy with
(10:11):
it after it recorded because my voice sounded too far
away from the mic. So I told my guests in
the next season, I said, we gotta do this over
because when you listen to all my stuff, my voice
is it sounds a certain way. When you listen to
(10:32):
this one my voice that sounds far away, and I
can't just put that out. It got to be right.
I got I work. I worked hard on myself. You
see what I'm saying, So and speaking of that. It's like,
I don't want to just like like because it's been
so long since I put out something, put out an episode.
(10:55):
I don't want to just be putting out stuff old
stuff that people seen, or I don't want to just
keep putting out quotes and stuff like that. I want
to put out an episode. It's gonna come March first.
The reason why it's so far out is because I
want to make sure the whole season is recorded and
(11:16):
done so I won't have to have no problems on recording,
taking no layoffs, and even after this season done, see
I want to get to a point where I want
to just do like only lives, like not just Instagram Live,
maybe YouTube lives. I don't know. I don't really want
to push a YouTube thing too much, but I want
to get to a point where my podcast is only
(11:38):
a live podcast once a week. I don't want to
keep doing the ten plus episode things because it's gonna
become too much. But I want to get see my followers,
my followers. Got to get to a point where I
have like I have the same amount of people that
(11:59):
tune in and like I can engage with people, you know,
like how you join the typical celebrities live and they
got like one hundred people, two hundred one thousand, So
you can talk and float with it, and people can
be saying stuff in the comments and you can piggyback
off what they're saying, turn it into a convo, like.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh, you already know. That's how my podcast started live
on Instagram. I was going live every Monday night. And
you build like that and people get a face behind
the voice, and then you know, you just have a
you build up since some community and stuff. Yeah, yeah,
I love that idea though.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I think that'll be amazing. And I told you about
the games, Like, get some of them games and have
them people come up here. We're gonna play a game
because people like to compete and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Man, I don't think they're ready for them game.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But we don't talk about life a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We've been talking about it, but when it comes to
I mean, because we both podcasts and you've been podcasting
a little bit longer than me, when it comes to life,
what have you learned? What have you being a podcaster
taught you about life?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
What's the way to word uh with podcasting? Talk me
about life is just take everything one step at a time.
Don't overwhelm yourself, because one thing about podcasting you going
to multitask, especially like if you're doing it by yourself,
if you promoting by yourself, you editing by yourself, you
(13:29):
engaging on the social media as by yourself. You ain't
got nobody running your pages, You ain't got nobody editing
your stuff. You ain't got nobody adding the music to
your stuff. You ain't got nobody doing none.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Of that, and yourself too.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, and then it's like when you are doing all
of that, you get you can get overwhelmed, you can
feel defeated, you can feel like you don't want to
do it no more. And the only reason you feel
like that is because it ain't really no results showing
that it's like pushing you to do or like like
I always say, like when I'm not posting, people be
(14:03):
asking me like when you're coming out with another episode
or why you stop or when the next one coming out?
When people do that to me or say that to
me and make me feel like, damn, y'all you still
want to hear this and it ain't but a handful
of people that, like I guess it's people that know
me directly or personally, that contact me directly or whatever.
(14:25):
When they do that, it make me feel real good
because it's like, damn, so I cannot be doing something
and people notice. So that's the only thing that pushed me,
like literally, because I'm still going to be the person
that y'all hear and see this on the platform. I'm
still a talker. I still got the personality y'all see.
(14:47):
I'm still doing this and showing this offline. But when
I do it online and I take it offline, and
you know I took it offline, they make me want
to keep it online. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So that's so. So I think when people get defeated,
field defeated, feel overwhell and all that and they not
receiving love and stuff like that. That data that's yeah,
that's what life taught me. All right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I love that, And we're gonna talk a little bit
and that you could be that devil's advocate or I
can be devil's advocate when it comes to podcasting, because
I know it's a certain podcaster that's making millions off
his podcast that you absolutely despise this because when you're
(15:39):
trying to get no lawsuits or nothing like that.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
But when you listen to podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Or when you come across people and their content bashing
one one species over the other, how does that make
you feel? And how does it make you want to
go even harder with your content? Because you're you're you're number.
You know, you're not biased when it comes to the
stuff that you put out. How you back?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean when I I obviously know what I mean,
I be getting it. I understand why they do it.
You know what I'm saying, because I'm like, all right, this,
this is their thing because they want to attract this
type of audience. So I get it. I'm not hating,
but it's like, but when I hear it, I just
be like, like your listeners they got it. They like
they can't be that slow and stupid, you know what
(16:27):
I'm saying, Because like when you say, like, for example,
I'm not gonna get on here and say, ladies, when
this how you know a man cheating because when he
do this, you he he mean this. Or make sure
you go through his phone because it's always in his phone,
or and then my next video say ladies, this is
(16:49):
how you know your man, don't look you. And then
my next video say ladies, fourth video, ladies, fifth video, ladies.
Like you clearly want like you clearly care whole lot
about your female follow female listeners to the point where
you want to you want your content to cater to them.
But what I care about is if you mixing it up,
(17:11):
if you say, fellas, this is how you know Fellas,
this is what you pay attention to, Fellas, this is
what you do fellas, this is how you do it.
That's what I care about, because I'd be like, come on, man, like,
I know what you're doing, but that's not the way
to do it. Wont you give a little bit of
something to each person? Do do it that way? But
(17:33):
when I but when I sit and think about it,
sometimes I'm not even gonna lie, I ain't even gonna lie.
Like sometimes I be asking myself like is that the
way to go? Is that the way to progress? Do
you really have to be?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Do you really have to cater to get your shit
out there? Do you really have to only? Like imagine
if if if I had, if I had a podcast
right that was specifically for men, and all I did
is bash women. I will not have no female listeners
because I will be bashing the hell out of them.
(18:10):
You see what I'm saying? What if? What if? What if?
All my content was like, hey, fellas, man, just how
you know your lady cheating on your fellas?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
This?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How you know your lady lying to you?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Check her phone? Man, do this? Don't do this shit
for her Shade White's material. They were like, they gonna
scroll right on paths.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Nigga please, nigga, please, nigga, please, like, come on, man,
I just I just hate it. That's why I always
stay neutral unless it's an unless it's something where uh
it has to be said, then I'm going to say
it about that particular agenda. I got an episode called
(18:49):
Dead be Dad's. I got an episode called Journey through Fatherhood.
I got an episode called Applying Pressure and that applies
to everybody m I got an episode called Toxic Men
Versus Toxic Women Part one ad Part two. I got
an episode called Ken a Woman Chopperman with a baby.
(19:12):
I got an episode called Blended Families. My ship is neutral.
It's for everybody. Everybody, and the type of things that
I talk about, I'd be like I'm talking about everything.
I'm trying to be positive, but nobody cares about positivity,
negativity and sex.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That right. But here's the thing though, because your best friend,
he somebody must have got in his ear because he
has another show that he has men and women guest
on there, so he needed he needed to join forces
with the opposite sex bring it more of a neutral ground,
because I know.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
For a fact some men and women.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Was probably getting in his ass about like, look, this
is not right and you need to quit doing it.
But I'm glad that it's working out. You know, you
got your sponsors. The sponsors want you to have this
type of deal or this type of show because you've
been bringing in the money with the views and content
and stuff like that. You got to do it because
guess what, you want to make sure that you keep
your sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, and that's a shit. Look that's another thing, man.
I ain't even gonna lie like I've been showing some
real desperate actions, man, because I be dming, I'll probably
already be knowing like I'm not gonna get no responses.
I be dming. Like companies, i'd be like, can y'all
sponsor me? I'll just be trying to do any and everything, Cause,
(20:36):
like I said, I'm doing everything myself. I don't have
no managing, no agent, no nothing like that. So I'm
trying to put my name in everybody's vision, you know
what I'm saying. Like I've talked to I've talked to
a few, quite a few semi famous people. Celebrities depend
on how high or low profile you want to rank
(20:57):
them or whatever. And I've and every time I talk
to them, they always asked me, how many followers do
you have? How long are your shows? Do you have
a media kit? How many followers? I got? It, don't matter.
I want to talk to you. Come on my damn platform.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I mean, I I that's why you can't come like that.
But yeah, no, no.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, That's what I'm saying, Like I ain't coming like that.
But I'm like, why the fuck you care about how
many follows I got? I get it. Everything is a business.
Everybody want to everybody want to benefit off of what
they're doing. But it's like, all right, y'all, look listen,
no matter what you do, if you're a rapper, singer, actor, podcaster,
(21:40):
skip maker, I don't care what you do if you
are at a certain level in your career with that
where you're like high profile and you know that there
are other people who are trying to do what you
do and they are a bit low profile. If you
know they trying to do the same thing you doing,
why not And to go back to what you said
earlier about pulling up the ladder stuff like that, if
(22:01):
you know we trying to make a name for ourselves too,
and you're there, you can help. You can help. Come
on my come to my come to my show. Give
me like ten minutes though, I'm telling you ten minutes
to talk. It's a little girl. I don't know her name.
It's a little girl that's going that's on, that's on TikTok,
on Instagram, something like that. And she'd be it's a
little girl like she probably about ten or something, you
(22:23):
probably saying it before, a little white girl. She'd be
talking to celebrities and all that stuff, like with a
mobile little microphone, and I'd be like, you know, what
the hell, man, like, come on, what's what's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You got sponsors that's backing her, like, and she probably
has an agent and all that too, because that matters
because you're paying them to work for you, so they
gonna try their best to get you out there because
they want to get that check.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
So it's it's the.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Business is all about the coin. What a dollar, I
should say, because we don't do the coins, and you.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Know how to be putting their emails in the bios, right,
So I mean looking at that, and I'd be like,
hm for booking. Huh. Let's try this, man. I sent
master pr email like three years ago. Don't put don't
put your email in there if you don't use your email.
(23:16):
I understand y'all busy, y'all got stuff going on, but
let's be real. Man. Now, I grew up listening to
the master P. That's my adult, that's my man's. Master
P is cool as fuck from from what I see
on camera, But let's be real, master P, how much
you got going on where you ain't respond to an
email three years? Dog?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Do you really think checking his own email?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, that's what I'm or whoever check it? Like, why
do you? Why do you put a business email in
your bio if no one checks it?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, they probably did check it. They probably was like,
oh next.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And you know why, you know what they do know
what they probably do. They probably people probably get asked
asked for interviews all the time. And this is what
I mean when I say just another statistic, because if
we are podcast or they're like five hundred thousand other
podcasters behind us. So it's like so when they see
(24:14):
the word, hey, come on podcast, come on with podcast,
podcast podcast. Yeah, if you ain't no High pro if
you ain't Charlemagne, DJ Envy, if you ain't Jennifer Hudson
and all of them, you ain't getting them.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Back.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But how we gonna get there? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Gotta keep doing the work, man, Keep getting out there.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That's the only thing I could tell you, because as
you build and grow, they will come.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What wrong't build it, they will come.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's probably easy to have people work for you, though.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Run your accounts for you and all that you know.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Did you you best believe that you're paying them to
do so nothing is free.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Ain't nobody just volunteering to run social media? Because that
is a hard job.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Think about it, you.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
See how what you do?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Just think about like big time celebrities, that that's that's
a job.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That is a job, man, I'll be jumping on people lives.
I'll be like, man, follow me.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
List, get somebody, and you will get a couple of
followers or whatever. But I would ready to have authentic
followers than somebody just a bot. And then the next thing,
you know, your followers go down when they when the block.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I love the page first, Yep. I don't catch all
of them, but I'll be trying to though. I'll be
trying to catch them bots.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I called like over one hundred and something. I was
going through my my follow lists and all of.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
That and show your least interacted followers. Yeah yeah, yep, yep, and.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Talking about love a little bit, tim, what's going on
in your love?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Look at that smile? Feel and fell in love over there?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Look a little bit, a little bit of everything, A
bunch of little changes and stuff like that. You know, Yeah,
we we we got we got you see the smile.
We got some smiles going on over there.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
You go. I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
So what has been a podcaster taught you about love
that I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Need to take my own advice sometimes.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yes, it was a whole lot of things that I
said on my podcast where it was things that I
haven't done, but it was all but at the same time,
it was also things that I know I would do.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Mm hmm, got you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, And that makes a big difference when you actually
can go back and say, dang, I was just talking
about this and listen, I need to make sure that
I'm I need to. I don't need to be a
hypocrite right now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, yeah, No, that's the main thing I just wanted you.
I just I try to make sure I follow my own.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Word, right, Yes, indeed, So we're gonna get into all
that other shit, and we done talked about that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Do you believe that life is worth living without all
that other shit?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Depends on what other shit you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
All the trials, tribulations, toxic relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You know, all if road blocks, fumbling blocks.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Everything that can be considered as all that other shit.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well you gotta remember, without the roadblocks and obstacles and
all that stuff, you wouldn't even know if life would
be worth living if you don't go through that stuff yet, Yes,
because if you don't, it's almost like when you just
work hard for something, right, just like now we're talking
about the podcast. We're working hard to get to a
(27:57):
certain level. Now, if we get to that certain level
in a year, then we're gonna look back at everything
that we was talking about and everything that we did,
and we were like, shit, oh my god, I feel
so good. It's just like getting your first big check.
You know what I'm saying. You're gonna worked all that
old time. You're like, whoof that paid off? Thank God?
(28:20):
But like when life, life is a whole different ball game.
So it's like, like, for example, all the failed relationships
you go through, they teach you everything one by one.
They teach you something one by one, each of them,
right or they should.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Some people just ignore it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah. Or when you finally when you finally get your
when you finally get your person or your soulmate or
somebody that you think is your soulmate, then it's like, damn,
I know from these last ten relationships I've been in
that I knew not to do this or watch out
for this, or make sure I get treated like this,
or make sure I treat my person like this, because
(28:58):
when I didn't, it ended like this and all that.
So all I'm saying is when you go through obstacles,
hit roadblocks, fall down a hundred times, get up on
a hundred times. Those all of those things make life
worth living at the end because you look back at
all that shit, because you're gonna say, damn, I got
(29:19):
twenty roadblocks, I got through twenty roll blocks, I went
through fifty obstacles. I went through fifty obstacles, broke through
twenty roadblocks, went through seventeen bad relationships, and I'm here
and this shit is worth living.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Ye what I'm saying, yes, I love I love it
because I love to ask that question because some people
say no, are some people say yes? And I like
the breakdown of it because sometimes people they just dodge bullets,
like life don't come at them as hard as it
comes at other people. Bless them.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And I don't understand, like when you know you dodge
something in life, it's a reason why you dodged it.
Look at the word you dodged. It didn't happen to you.
So it's almost like escaping death. How could you You
know how many times people get in car accidents and
they live. And when you talk to your loved ones,
(30:11):
what they say, what they say, I'm glad you, Okay,
I don't care about the car you alive.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, yeah, because that's material we could get the another.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You go outside, it's a big shootout if you make
it in the house. Oh shit, I'm glad you okay,
because I heard bullets outside. You just escape death, right,
So how you should be people should be given away better?
I don't know. No, you better think about it, because
we go through we go through shit every day, and
(30:43):
we should be thankful for every breath we take. Every day. Man,
every day some people don't wake up. Some people die
with no explanation. The saying is here today, gone.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Tomorrow, here today, going today?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Everybody that everybody, I'm sure everybody know a person that
passed away and with the say, damn, I've just seen them.
Oh damn, I just talked to them.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
So it's too many times. It's happening too much, man.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's happening too much. And speaking of all that other shit,
how do you feel about the state of this country
right now, in this moment in time, Well.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
The state of this country has never been my thing
to talk about, you know why, because I ain't even
gonna lie to y'all. I'm not too I'm not too
educated on the government stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I ain't talking about the government.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, no, no, I'm just saying, oh you mean just anything,
just anything?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, no politics at all.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Man. Look, I don't like it, but like I tell
my friends all the time, all this stuff is beyond
my control. I'm just one voice. So it's like all
this stuff is when things are out of my control.
I'm not gonna say I don't paying no attention because
I obviously do because I know what's going on, but
I can't change it. I mean, you got kids out
(32:08):
here wilding out, breaking in cars, breaking in houses. You know,
you got people getting robbed or they clothing? Are they dogs?
Like this? It's just stupid man, people, stupid people not
getting their people under control. It's not enough laws in
place that people are It's not enough laws in place
that's making people scared.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I think it starts at home.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Though, everything start at home. That's why I say, like
people losing too much control over their people, man, And
like it's not enough laws or rules in place that's
making people worried about breaking them.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh yeah, like it's going to jail is glamorize them,
Like Okay, I'm at least I'm gonna eat good and
I'm gonna have a place to sleep versus you know,
I might stay at my homeboy's house the other day,
my grandma gonna lock me out, my mom, I don't care.
My daddy ain't nowhere around. It's a lot to take
(33:03):
in about that. But the reason why I asked that
because I wanted a guide perspective on like some of
the stuff that happening, because you know, you see the
news with the fires and all of that, and I'm like,
that was not.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Not on purpose, like somebody did that on purpose. I
really do believe that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
What set on fire though, like other than people homes, though,
like where do they do they where they said started
from or like that's.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
What I'm saying that they didn't. They're not talking about that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
It's controversial, yeah, because guess what the Olympics is supposed
to be yet next time and Cali and La all right,
and we're gonna end on that note because we ain't trying.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To have nothing.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But you know what they should happen though, I think
everybody who lost their homes should get their home, uh,
get placed in a home for free, or get their
home rebuilt for free.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
YEP, I agree.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Something ship should be done.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
All this and Seawan's money. You know what I don't
like though, I don't like how all these celebrities, any celebrity,
anybody in Hollywood, whatever, did everybody get on their social media?
They post these little tweets and statuses and ship and stories.
Oh much love to Kelly, much love to this, much
(34:25):
love to death. They saying all this good ship, but
nobody putting up their money to help nobody get their home.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
That right there is a touchy for me because I
don't feel like you need to broadcast what you do
because it's just a lot. Like Prince was one of
the one of the ones that gave. He was a humanitarian.
He gave so much. We didn't know that he actually
passed away because he didn't talk about it.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So I understand, and sometimes you can't.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
If I was like that in that position, I wouldn't
tell nobody either, because guess what, now you got people
with their hand out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
No, I'm talking about the people who like just speak
on it, like not like not the people who talk
about what they do, but the people who get on it,
like the people who just get on there and speak
on it, like Tyler Prairie. I think he said something.
He was talking about the insurance companies and how they
ripping people off and not helping them do nothing and
all that stuff. But why you talking about insurance companies
(35:27):
and what they not doing, But what you're gonna do
about it? I mean, don't. I mean, you don't have
to tell us shit. Half of them probably do do
stuff offline. I'm saying, we don't know that, But I
don't like when you get on there and speak on
it and you don't do nothing about it. Right, if
you are gonna get on there and talk, get on
(35:47):
there and say I will help to families, you know,
say something. Y'all got all his money. Y'all got all
his money, and maybe y'all are helping some people y'all
personally know, rebuild some stuff. I don't know, but that
will be nice. Though. Y'all making all this money, man,
we supporting your movies and all this your shows.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Give back, that's the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Just give back.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Hey, if God has blessed you with enough to give back,
why not. That's a no brainer, That's all I'm saying. Yeah,
all right, when you guys have been listening to another
