Thank you my brother once again takingtime out of your productive schedule to

(11:16):
involved into acting, your your mindsetwhen it comes from taking these roles.
So once again, I'm thank youonce again man hanging out with me and
just talk about all the good stuffthat you're doing. So they asked you
this too, man, what wasyour first experience like when you first start
acting? What was going through yourmind at that time when you started doing

(11:37):
the whole acting thing. Man.So so it's like, you know,
you get called out to the set, you know or whatnot. And really
the scariest part is the auditioning becauseyou're like, cool, can I get
it? You know what I'm saying. But once you get past that part
and then you get into the youget out there on the set. Now

(11:58):
you you know, you you lookat you look at movies a little different.
You're like, all right, well, I just see two people on
the screen talking, you know whatI'm saying. But then you got like
a thousand people behind that screen ever, and boy and boy, everybody looking
at you, and you're just sittingthere and everybody just what is he going
to say? Is he going tosay something? I'm like, hey,

(12:20):
you freeze up? You know thatright there is scary man. Yeah.
And because like that, everybody's watchingyou, and I know you have to
look, you have to look acertain way. I know, you can't
stum with your words, you can'tsay uh but being straight forward, and
you have people have asked you wasit easy? Is it easy to ask?

(12:43):
Because I got memorized, oh wordsand stuff like that. How do
you keep all retaining all the informationwhen it's time to go, because I
know it could be very difficult.I won't get my line like that.

is a script I'm currently working on, and so you'll get something like this,

(13:03):
right, and so you reading itand if you and what I like

that means devour in Spanish. Andso it's a story about Elkakooy, which
is the Mexican boogieman or the Spanishboogyman. And someone say, uh,
so you know, as you see, I was Elkakoy but but uh,

(18:07):
what we're working on. But yeah, man, that was That was a
lot of fun doing that when itwas restless. But hey we got that
sucker done. And yeah that's themost poor thing got it done. And
I know you mentioned family. Iknow you mentioned your father and now you
mentioned your husband. Yeah, Ihas family life being tired in when you're
doing the acting. We know thatsupports system is everything's fecally coming from wife.

(18:30):
And when it comes to the cheer, I know they're decided to see
your wife decided to see her husbanddoing anything on the stream. I know
your cheerdren inside as well. SoI have that really be with the supports
system and doing active. Man,I'll tell you it's tough, but you
know it's it's I involved them,you know what I'm saying. So on

(18:51):
my sets, my wife come out. You know what I'm saying. On
my sets, my kids come out. You know what I'm saying. Uh,
my kids. My kids actually onthe project we're doing now, oldest
son he's actually operating the boom.One of my daughters is shooting behind the

very very important. And I mean, you know, they they may not

(19:11):

get to see how serious he isand how passionate you is about it that

(19:53):
they would know just get behind you. No push you encourage, you inspire,
you value, keep your motive faded. And also keep your account when
I keep your account. But hey, don't love them that it just ain't
up. Don't get replaced. It'sall about greatness. It's in your blood,
it's in your genes. So alwaysstrive for greatness. And so so
you mentioned that you're cheering were behindthe scenes, So as I'm as I'm

(20:17):
hearing a family business behind this,I mean absolutely studios you feel me,
you know, that's what's all about. So we know a lot of people
are getting into that, uh speasy. A lot of people are getting to
more acting, documentary. We seeathletes, many people starting up their own

(20:38):
production company now. So how sowhen you see a lot of people getting
into the production side of things,the media side of things, the feminist
side of things. What does thatdo? So how do you feel about
that? What? What? Likelike people are tuitioning over now to doing
films and documentaries and stuff like that. True, man, I look at

(21:00):
like an opportunity to work with morepeople. That's that's that's the way I
look at it. I'll be like, you know what, I'm not looking
at it like competition. You knowwhat I'm saying, because I remain in
my lane. You know what I'msaying. I know, I know ain't
the best trained smoking, but hey, I'm one of them trains. You're
gonna hear me you're chewing. Butbut we know that, go ahead.
But yeah, no, I justI just look at it like more more

(21:22):
people, more people to work withfor sure. Yeah. And and I
wouldn't even look at as a competition, da'self. It's like Era is looking
for the next big thing. Itlooking for the next it. Who got
it? You know? That's whatit is? Who Like, who's gonna
be the next? Not saying you'regonna be the next, not putting the
same, not saying you gonna bethe zel, But who's in that neighborhood

(21:45):
of the thannxels, Who's in theneighborhood of the Astrabassis, who's in the
neighborhood of the Jamie Foxxes who wasin the neighborhood of the Appuccinos, and
Robert De Niro's, And because they'relooking for that next it. And we
know that now are getting into movies. Back in the day, I want
to be an athlete, We've gotpeople want to be athletes, rappers.
But now we're seeing more people nowsean get into more movies. Now,

know, you are you doing YouTube? We got to be everything. All
these social media outlets now where peoplesay, I ain't gotta go sign with
nobody, I go ahead to myown equipment. You look on YouTube,
they teach you how to do thingsnow, So everybody's hearing more independent things.

see you making us, making thatthat sound, making that noise, like,
Okay, I gotta see what thisbrother's doing. I keep hearing his

So what should take on the wholeindependent that? Well, okay, I
gotta knock on nobody's doing now,going and create my own right, absolutely,
like they knocking the way they knockedout the gatekeepers. That's what I
feel like they're doing, knocking outthe gatekeepers. You know, if you

(26:06):
they. I was reached out tothem after I saw them post something up
about it and I was like,hey, y'all need a hand and They're

(26:26):

any major things. So what isnext for Speedy? You're doing acting?
I know you show me doing thecartoon and stuff like that. So let
men tell we gonna see more animefrom you, more avatar type stuff in
their feature from you. Yeah.So what you saw with the with the

(26:47):
well to go back to the cartoondeal whatnot? Like Uh that right,
there was one that I created andI do plan on you know, really
knocking that one out or you know, putting it together and knocking it out
or whatnot. Uh that's my wiferight there, shout to the queen be
shout there. Yeah, but youknow, man, so I'm putting that

(27:07):
one together. And I did thevoice on that mark, you know what
I mean. So so that wasactually me. But yeah, I got
a lot of that coming. Butwhat's in the works right now is Vengeful.
Uh Vengeful will be on t bTV. I ended up signing the
deal with a distribution deal with ukTV recul Yeah, yeah, thank you.
And uh so so once that oneis completed, then that will be

(27:30):
sent over to them. And youknow, once that's done, then Uh,
hey, y'all, y'all be ableto see that one. That's heyn
you're making those major million dollars,not million dollars. Hey, I'm just
speeding that. That's what. Hey, that's what. That's what it did.

(27:56):
So my next twittion is we're atthe technie. Do you think you're
most suited for? Oh? Man, Uh, that is a I'm pretty
sure I'm gonna I'm gonna say this. I wrong. H Godly it was
called Uh it's like a. It'slike a it's a it's a weird,

(28:21):
it's a standy Stanislavsky Standislavsky or whatnot. It's more literal. Uh, it's
you know what I mean. It'sas if such as like you know,
put like if I've been through something, Let's say, for instance, I
lost the love one, right,if I lost this love one, then
then turn around. I have thisscene in this film where I actually have

(28:44):
to you know what I mean,where I have to bring out them tears,
where I really gotta you know whatI mean. So I'm gonna think
back to that situation to try andyou know what I mean, to try
to captivate that character and knock itout. You know. So that's that
method or whatever that that I tendto use things that I've been through and
like uh or whatnot, and andtry to bring it to that character.

(29:04):
Man, That's what's up right there, and that that really ties into the
netch one is how do you makethe charter character more believable? We know,
we know he had heerd it beforeme. He spends all the time
that when a certain role is playedby a certain individual, they know,
hey, they played it. Thenthey played a hack out of that character.
So and then we got some peoplewho do not make the charter and

(29:26):
then get them getting wrong. Wegot some bad ones that's not very good
at it, but don't make thecare of believeral but so, but you
being a master at your craft andperfecting it, what, how do you
make the character more believable? Thatlike when people see you like, hey,
that's such and such from the movieman, you know, you know

(29:47):
all the other great stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So so I
did one. It was it wascalled a and this was really like a
skit. It was a thug andthat's also on my YouTube or whatever,
and and uh so somebody ran intome and was like, what's what's up?
Stud of Dug And I was justlike, what are you talking about?
But it was I was stuttering,you know what I'm saying, And

(30:07):
I really stutter. But I didn'thave a problem with that coming up.
But you know, I was lookinginto things that people do when they stutter,
you know what I mean. SoI'm I'm you know, I'm trying
to snap to make it seem likeit's you know, yeah, man,
I do my research. I knockit out, man, I just hey,
I just get it done. Man. Oh no, it's you know,

(30:30):
just I try to make sure thatI'm doing what I need to be
doing, you know. I domy research on their character and everything like
that, try to tap into theemotions and make it happen. And I
know, right because at the endof the day, at the end of
the day, we want to geteverybody the money's worth and they time work,
and I know you want to getan audience their time work and they
money's worth. So I just stayingat the end of the day because the

(30:52):
more you get their time and theirmoney's work will gonna happen. They don't
come back for more, and theycould be thirty for one that's the whole
concept is making sure we getting we'redoing our investment, we're getting a good
turn on our investment. And it'sfor the audience, for the view and
all listening to audience. And weknow that move has been around for a
long long time. We know thatand now that when we watch people,

(31:15):
when we watch movies or we watchtelevision shows, it's a miss behind it
behind anything that we do. Right. So, oh, when you approach
these roles, what is the messagespeedy that you want the audience to get
out of here? Every different rolethat you master, the blade it has
it tells a story, but alsoits delivered a message to as well that

(31:38):
we can apply to everyday life.Man. Just shoot, just go on
that sucklehead head first, you knowwhat I mean. Gotta put me on
the spot there. I wasn't readyfor that question, but you know,
go ahead. I'm sorry. Youknow it's just tiedy one cause when I
listening to you talk, it justreally gave me that one like that you

(32:00):
trying to tie in with it onthat scenario Caause like I said, I
know people love know what they're doingand it's a mess behind what they do.
And I know that you're that You'rementioned your life can aspire other people
who aspire to do great things don'tknow where to start. Or your role
in the movie could say someone's life. Well, people don't understand that it

(32:22):
would be somebody to me with goingdo something, dealing with something better with
something. But they seen you onthe screen on it or wherever they watched
you at and say, you knowwhat you change You changed my life.
I'm about to go this way,but then for some reason I came across
you on the screen and you justgave me a whole new, outlooking life.
That's what I was pointed at,got you, man. So so

(32:43):
what I could say about that becausewhen as you was, you know,
hitting me with that question, likeone thing did come to me, you
know what I mean. I ain'tnever been affiliated with nothing, you know
what I'm saying, with no gangsor nothing like that. But I have
had friends who we used to runin the streets, you know, you
know, you knuckle here teenager,so you know, and I used to

(33:05):
be high headed, you know whatI'm saying. And so it was like,
man, they was looking at lookingat me up there, and they're
like, yo, hey, bro, you're really doing it. You know
what I'm saying, Like you youmotivated me, Bro, you motivate me.
And I'm like, hey, Iappreciate that. I didn't even know
you know what I'm saying that itwas to that point to where I was
inspiring others to do better in life, you know what I'm saying. So
it's just like they was, oh, man, you know, just to

(33:25):
just to know what the things weused to do and then turn around and
you know you what you're doing now? Man. That says a lot.

I had to put it on thepodcast, you know, just to hear
what the vision is for the youngmen in Colorado. You know, he's
been coaching. You know, you'vebeen coaching for a very long time since
he been doing it here in highschool. When he was here in the

(45:14):
DFW area. You've been doing itfor quite a few minutes when it was
coaching. But to hear somebody onhis platform how he's really just pouring into
these young men, not just tothe young men, but also into his
own sons, you know, Shadorand Shalloh. And we need to see
more of that. We need tosee more of that in our community.

(45:36):
You know what I'm saying because Iwork in the system where I see a
lot of young men who are incarcerated. I working in type of field,
and I'm seeing a lot of theseseventeen year olds. Sixteen year olds won't
be able to she chanced to getexperienced life because of the choices they made.
You know, they getting brought upwith adult charity, they getting charged
as adults. Now he was ayoung man who end up getting like forty

(46:00):
years in prison. A young manain't ain't even touched twenty one. But
now you're looking at forty years inprison. And it takes a vision of
us to come together to prevent it. Like I said, we have a
lot of young men who want experiencelife, want experience being a husband,
want experience being the father, becausethey are gonna be locked up for the

(46:24):
rest of their lives. What canwe do as a as a community,
as a village to stop this.We see a lot of this every day.
Man. So I just me personally, I say, overall, get
involved, you know what I'm saying. At the end of the day,
no matter what it is, yougot to get involved, you know what
