Okay, all right, well listen, we're back at it with Raisin Kanaan. Uncle Marvin is back at it. And you know, aside from your own comedy career, which we'll talk about in a minute, which I love, and the White Tea Talk, which I always love to watch, I want to talk about what's happening for raising Kanaan and just seeing some of the things that we are now finding out about Uncle Marvin, which I it's kind of giving us some insight into who your character is, little by little, you know.

Yeah, you know. As far as the show, well, first things for having me, I appreciate having me again always, you know, the show is I think this time. As far as what makes it different from the other seasons, we're going to be like we're touching down on the history of the filming a little bit more like why or how the Thomas family became be as far as speaking about our parents. While we have our issues that we have with each other and with them, and so it's a little different this season, and as opposed to I think sometimes people think they know where the story's going to go. But this season it's gonna be a lot of emotional plot twists that people were like. I think I felt like the other seasons people didn't really understand the dynamic of us being like, of this show being like a family show. It's really just you know, a peep into a regular family from south side Jamaica, queens who got regular issues, who just grew up on the block, and we survive in the best way we know how. And I think some money trying to make some money. So I think this season people understand like, oh, they really are a family. They just happen to be in the game.

I feel like. But in particular Uncle Marvin, we learn a lot about because as Kanaan is trying to figure out the story of his grandfather, we find out, because that was your father on the show, that there were some things about him that kind of made you into who you are because you were the oldest, right and so you were affected the most by your father. And as far as like raising your other younger brother and sister and things like that. But you remember on that show, your character remembers the dad the most because you were the oldest.

And as far as like raising your other younger brother and sister and things like that. But you remember on that show, your character remembers the dad the most because you were the oldest.

Absolutely so. And you know that's the thing is, like we realized that Marvin, some of Marvin's anger management issues, some of that, you know, could have stemmed from his father having the fact that his father had committed suicide. So now Marvin's left to raise the family, trying to figure that out, you know, potentially growing up a little faster than he had wanted to, all the way into his adulthood to where we see the dichotomy between him at one point being the leader and now taking orders from Rock. And that's always kind of been the undertone underlining disagreement that Marvin or the resentment that Marvin's had a little bit he knows it was his fault, but still being the leader and then all of a sudden taking orders from everybody Marvin has always had that I think has dealt with that personally.

And two things I want to say to that. Number one, yes, because I think that Marvin has felt like Rock isn't giving him the credit and the respect that he feels like he deserves right and the family, because imagine, now you're taking orders and somebody younger than you absolutely also a woman and a woman no matter what, man always kind of have a bit of an issue with that. I don't care what anybody says. But then also the second thing I want to say is seeing how Marvin has been as a father, or lack of his presence of being a father in his own daughter's life, you would think, and sometimes people emulate what their father was like, or they go the opposite way and they try to show extra more love because they didn't get it right.

So you know, that's the thing is, you know, we see Marvin having a strange relationship with his daughter where really he like I say, really didn't have one completely. Then through realizing and reflection, through anger management, we get to season three where he's trying to be as you mention, he's now trying to be super dad to the point where he's overstepping his boundaries with his daughter and her career and everything like that. So in season four we get to see this other side of Marvin where I think Marvin's starting to realize, oh, shoot, this the thing that I the relationship that he's having with his daughter. I think he's starting to see more of himself like, oh, this is I got some responsibility to own in this while my daughter is kind of the way she is. But it took him a while to realize. You know, he's starting to see himself. It's his characteristics within his daughter, so which at some points good and bad, like Jukebox is. Really she's strong and she will speak her mind and she will fight back. But then what happens that she continues to get older and starts to take more of her father's example. And I don't even think they even she realized it, or Martin realized it. It's just it was like innate because she's around it. And I think Marvin's feeling the responsibility of that going into season four, like, oh shoot, so I gotta I got to own up to some of this.

And I think Marvin's feeling the responsibility of that going into season four, like, oh shoot, so I gotta I got to own up to some of this.

In a way, I kind of feel like, up until then, Jukebox has been like the purest character on the show, the person that's not like the yeah, the one that's engaging in the family activities and kind of sheltered from that with the talent to.

Then I'm sure she's got her own demons.

Right, you know, she kind of been on the outskirts of it and just kind of hanging out with Kanan. But this season, you know, she shows up. You know what, I'll give them too much away. She's showing up for everybody and we see her. She's as Marvin is trying to become his own man. Within this season, we see her becoming her own woman or young lady in this season. It's good.

Now I want to see as you're relating to this character. I'm just curious a couple of things about you. Number one, what's your anger management? Like in real life? Are you? Are you hot headed or not? Because for some reason I can't see it with you. I watch your white tee talk I tell you that, which I always find quite entertaining, and it's good because sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't, but that's the point of it. But when it comes to you personally, you think you're a hot headed person.

But when it comes to you personally, you think you're a hot headed person.

No, I'm really easy going because you know, first, the first thing is I don't like uh. The thing about it first is I don't like looking out of sorts, So I don't like, you know, looking like I can't control my emotions on myself. That's the first thing. The second thing is one time when there have been times when people have made me upset. The first of all, I'm already upset for whatever they did. The second thing is I have too much pride to give people that much power.

I agree with that.

I agree with that.

I'm you're not gonna see me, you know now when I get to my car and I to steer at with whatever that is. But I'm not about to do that. But then, also as I've gotten older, I just realized life is too short to be, you know, blowing a fuse over everything. So sometimes I just I just sit back, man, say, it's how how serious? Is it really that important? It's not that important, you know, whatever it is, even if it's a slight agreement that we can agree to disagree, we don't have to argue about it. And if I'm not getting paid to fight, we need to be fighting, because when you get older, you can't recover from a fight like you can when you're sixteen. Us as an adult, you mess around, miss a few days of work, you don't heal the same way. Getting all of that, I'm good, man, I'm cool. I mean me best I can, man, I just try to First of all, I even get to the point where it got to go there, but it was so let me just walk away and too much, too much to lose at this point. So I always try to just chill out on conflict, to stay away from it, avoid it if I can.

You know? Personally? For example, I've been within the month I've had to go to I'm going to this will be my fifth funeral, will be this Tuesday, so just within just within the month, so I'm getting calls. So as far as to your question, the comedy for me helps, I know, I get asked to speak at these funerals sometimes of my friends and so forth, to help brighten the mood and just bring a little bit of a little bit of hope or some positivity to these situations. So for me, if I can always see the brighter side of whatever it is, it's not it's really not that bad, you know. And and again it's just I think it's perspective how we decide to look at whatever the issue is. So it's like man between what we consider missed opportunities whatever that sometimes even if it's coming to things like this, if I were to, let's say, miss a flight. Sometimes I look at that said, well, maybe in my mind, this is some of the things I think I said. Maybe, Okay, maybe I got to the my uber lake because I was trifling. And the second thing is, well, maybe you know I was supposed to leave my keys in the house because I'm avoiding an accident. Okay, cool. Maybe there's something in that. I don't know, So I just try to find some sort of positive note to it, because it's it's way easy to find. Everything can be can be negative. I can be mad, well, why didn't they Why didn't Angela have the the orange slices is peeled already? People wake up like that, you know, people like, why you mad? It's seven in the morning, Why you mad already?

And you might be like, why did she peel this? That's disgusting. I don't know if her hands are cleaned.

That's what it is, right, It's like a food like orgy.

Him like I did that, you know.

But if it's a healthy snack, I ain't mad at that. But the thing about it is, even with the show, I explained to the followers that I just come from theater, so me choosing to eat on the show is just well what I call or what we call like small business, And it's just how do I find a way to keep the artists engaged with the character even though he's not speaking. What makes him interesting? Because I'm on the show with a lot of talented people. It's a big show, a lot of more oven parts as far as you know, big major scenes, guns, there's families, cars, big names, Tony Danzel, all the people. I gotta find a way how do I separate myself without saying, hey, everybody, look at me, I'm doing something. It just has to be nice and organic. And you know you came up with that snacking was just yeah, it was one of those things I'm like, well.

And that's the real thing. We all know somebody that's like always snacking on something that's it.

And that's the real thing. We all know somebody that's like always snacking on something that's it.

Yeah, So it's organic for me and it works.

Yeah, So it's organic for me and it works.

And it's very New York. It's like bodega because a lot of that is like stuff that's in the bodega that yeah, and everybody I think about growing up in New York, how everybody was always like getting a bunch of stuff from the bodega, Like you want anything from there, I'm going to the store and then and that's kind of it does feel like a real New York thing.

Yeah, and it's you know again, it's just one of those things where there's just another layer. There are a lot of different things that Marvin does. That just happens to be one of the ones. But Marvin's into a lot of different things. But that's just that's one of the obvious ones. But there are a lot of emotional layers that's just as prevalent to to who he is, like the food is.

Yeah, and it's you know again, it's just one of those things where there's just another layer. There are a lot of different things that Marvin does. That just happens to be one of the ones.

And it's interesting because when you were doing the anger management classes, we finally got to see a little love you know, yeah type of thing, which I feel like he's not a womanizer either, necessarily he's.

And it's interesting because when you were doing the anger management classes, we finally got to see a little love you know, yeah type of thing, which I feel like he's not a womanizer either, necessarily he's.

Not that, you know.

Not that, you know.

And even with it's like food is the passionate.

And even with it's like food is the passionate.

Food is one of those things. But you know, even with the excuse me, even with the interest that the counselor eventually starts to have with Marvin, Marvin wasn't wasn't in macmu with her. He was just going, really going, taking the classes. But there's something charming or endearing about Marvin that she was taking a liking to. I think it could have been the vulnerability, like Marvin wasn't in there, you know, crying on her shoulders, but the fact that he was pretty just honest and just hey, I'm not the best father. You know, these are my issues. I don't feel like being here, and I think that's something that can be appreciated or the character she could appreciate about Marmin, just his transparency.

I also, since you brought up Tony Danza, I mean amazing to be able to I just think about Tony Danza in our childhood. I'm telling you what that meant. So how did you feel being able to have those scenes?

I also, since you brought up Tony Danza, I mean amazing to be able to I just think about Tony Danza in our childhood. I'm telling you what that meant. So how did you feel being able to have those scenes?

First of all, didn't even know he's joining the show until we did a zoom table read, and he he was cooking in the you know, at the top of the zoom. So it's like, well, Tony Dancer's in the show. So first thing I go to, as you mentioned, I go right to Who's the Boss? Come about the eighties? I loved that show. And so when I finally had a chance to meet him, it was cool because he was so nice. And if he had an attitude and said, hey, if he had it in the paperwork, don't look me in the eye, and you know when you speak to him or call him Mster Danzer, I would have respected it. He's earned that, no doubt. But the fact that he was cool. I mean, he got stories for days. He knows everybody and hey, London, I'll tell you the time I was on the boat it with me, Jesus and Peter like and we walked through the water. I made him, made him the lasagna. He's just like stories for everything, and but they're always great. You always learned a lesson. And we sat on a couple of times we would step off to the side and talk to him about tap dance and we do some We go through some stuff with tap dancing and just hanging out. And he's a great I know, not well.

I mean that, you know, that's just like, tell me about these tap dancing you.

I mean that, you know, that's just like, tell me about these tap dancing you.

Know, well, I used to tap dance. So because of that, Tony and I obviously I know that he tap dancers. So we would talk and we would every now and again we go through a couple shuffle steps and we would just do that in between tapes.

Know, well, I used to tap dance. So because of that, Tony and I obviously I know that he tap dancers. So we would talk and we would every now and again we go through a couple shuffle steps and we would just do that in between tapes.

We need to see some video of that.

We need to see some video of that.

That would be great. You know, he's cool, he's uh. So we were just talking between the tapes, but he's so nice, and I'm just like, I'm just I just want to just listen to whatever he had to say. So the relationship that people see in the scenes between uh, Marvin and Stefano is really also London and Tony just in a scene. The words are, the words are the dialogue, but it's really London and Tony just sitting there and chopping it up. So he was cool, man, very He's just very nice because he could have been. He could have been. He earned the right to be, you know, be different. But the fact that he was cool made me respect me even that much more.

Sometimes you meet people that you grew up on, that you loved, and you cannot like them after meeting them. But it's amazing when you can meet somebody that is nostalgic for you and be like wow, yeah, so dope.

Sometimes you meet people that you grew up on, that you loved, and you cannot like them after meeting them. But it's amazing when you can meet somebody that is nostalgic for you and be like wow, yeah, so dope.

It just it just adds to it just adds to the whole experience. So we've done a lot of press together and he's just he's just cool. He shows love. He respects my work. I was respect his, and so I'm like, because sometimes too, you get a name like that, they come on the show and then they feel they feel they are above the other actors because they're older than the actors and more experienced. He didn't, he didn't act like that. He was cool. He was proud to be a part of the project. He talks about it and he's even he's gained a whole new audience, a younger audience to the show from the show. So shout out to Tony Dancers.

I didn't even realize it was him at first, like when I when I was first watching it and yeah, I'm ashamed to say, and then I saw that Tony dance and I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize that was Tony.

I didn't even realize it was him at first, like when I when I was first watching it and yeah, I'm ashamed to say, and then I saw that Tony dance and I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize that was Tony.

Yeah, yeah, you know, well you don't look like who's the balls because you know he's but his energy is still good. Yeah, he's good to sullid man.

Yeah, yeah, you know, well you don't look like who's the balls because you know he's but his energy is still good. Yeah, he's good to sullid man.

You know what's interesting too about like you said, Stefano and Stefano and Marvin, because you're kind of doing things for him aside from what him and Rock have going on. You know, you're looking out because he needs help in other ways. But then sometimes it feels like is that overstepping boundaries as far as trying to get your own relationship in a way.

Yeah, you know what, that's why Marven is treading on thin ice when it comes to this. He's Marvin is acting like he's not He wants to be his own man, but at the same time he's still watching his back to see if Rock is aware. But Rock, the way they wrote the character and the way the Patina's playing it, she's so smart. She's not saying anything, but she's connecting all the dots real slowly. She's she's watching and listening to what Marvin is saying and pentits into his behavior. And marvinus is willing to take the risk of her finding out or whatever because he's ready to step out and be his own person because he's been taking orders from her for so long, so it causes him to actually have a respect for Stefano, because Stefano was like the first person and saying he, yo, you did a good job with taking out whoever he took out. He acknowledges the fact that he appreciates his work. So that's something new for Marvel. Marvel's like, oh, man, finally I'm getting some respect around here. Somebody appreciate what I do. Now. He leans in closer to hear what Stephanel has to say.

Oh, I wonder if you think Marvin's character is smart enough to go against his sister.

Oh, I wonder if you think Marvin's character is smart enough to go against his sister.

Marviin a think might be smart enough. He's just thinking about he's just ready to He's ready to go, so he's not I don't e think he's thought about all the consequences, right, but you respect them.

Marviin a think might be smart enough. He's just thinking about he's just ready to He's ready to go, so he's not I don't e think he's thought about all the consequences, right, but you respect them.

But that's why sometimes you can't be a leader, right Like he's he is the hot head, and he is the one that is going to just go what you need me to do and handle it. And that's important. But it's different, it's a different role.

But that's why sometimes you can't be a leader, right Like he's he is the hot head, and he is the one that is going to just go what you need me to do and handle it. And that's important. But it's different, it's a different role.

It's a different role in life. Sometimes it takes us getting it takes us maxing out. Are getting fed up when we get tired of something enough, then we make changes. And I think that's what Marvin is. He just was fed up. He's done, and it's like, yo, I'm whatever, whatever happens happens, let's.

Go as raising Cannon is back. I also want to say I was kind of disappointed that Rock didn't keep Unique's baby. Oh you know that I was. I was like, they have a little gangster baby, you know what I'm saying, Like her, that would.

Go as raising Cannon is back. I also want to say I was kind of disappointed that Rock didn't keep Unique's baby. Oh you know that I was. I was like, they have a little gangster baby, you know what I'm saying, Like her, that would.

Have been a whole other sting. That would have been a spin off, Wow, the Unique Rock. You know, that would have been some while right there. See, that's a whole other.

Have been a whole other sting. That would have been a spin off, Wow, the Unique Rock. You know, that would have been some while right there. See, that's a whole other.

And I want to say I knew he wasn't when I was watching the last season. I knew he wasn't dead. I just knew it because I was like, they didn't show they'd never found the body, and I know whenever that happens on the show, that means that person still alive.

And I want to say I knew he wasn't when I was watching the last season. I knew he wasn't dead. I just knew it because I was like, they didn't show they'd never found the body, and I know whenever that happens on the show, that means that person still alive.

You know, this show we just the fans. I mean, the writers are so good. They never they always need the fans not knowing quite. They write it in a way to where, first of all, each after each episode, you don't really it's almost a cliffhanger. So they set it up that way, and then just when you think you understand the story. Somebody get killed off or somebody gets introduced. So I liked the fact that we think we have to handle on these characters, but sometimes we don't because the writers are just they're good for the suspense. But every now and again we get somebody like a detective like yourself, and he be.

Like because I didn't want him to be you know how, they didn't find his body, so I think he's still alive. And the other thing that's interesting to me is like with Rock, originally she really did not want Canan to be involved in that lifestyle. But now he is just messed up for life. There's just no going back, and she's responsible for that.

And the other thing that's interesting to me is like with Rock, originally she really did not want Canan to be involved in that lifestyle. But now he is just messed up for life. There's just no going back, and she's responsible for that.

She's responsible for that. I think his uncle plays a part of that. Oh, we all do. So it's one of those things where it's like but you know, as the show continues, we all I think at some point we say yo, because at first he's like okay. It was kind of one of those things where we we's like, all right, you are all right, since you want to do this. I got a little a little task for you, but that's it. But then it got to a point where he started going, he started moving before the horse were like, yeah, yo, whoa whoa hold on, But by that time it's already Kine is already spiring out of control to the point where I think at the end of last season, Kane says something slick after jukebox performance. He said something he popped off on his mom's I'm like, Marm's like, yo, you're gonna let this you want? Can you want me? If you don't want, I can put pull out the belt. So but by that point Kane is becoming his own person, which is kind of that's really cool to see within this show. Was like, because I remember season whenever it's like he we're not getting the Cane advised. We like, we know we telling the story. We gotta you don't become Canan overnight. You got to grow and experienced life. But by this by the this season, man oh man, he's disrespectful.

He is now South central l A growing up there. But you have this New York. How do you feel about your New York accent? Are you?

He is now South central l A growing up there. But you have this New York. How do you feel about your New York accent? Are you?

Well?

Well?

I'm not in it now, but when I was, when I was in the middle of this show, I felt good about it only because the followers told me.

I'm not in it now, but when I was, when I was in the middle of this show, I felt good about it only because the followers told me.

Because you know, Malcolm May's. It's funny that y'all both are like these New York characters. But it actually it came off good to me. I didn't know. I never really thought about it.

Because you know, Malcolm May's. It's funny that y'all both are like these New York characters. But it actually it came off good to me. I didn't know. I never really thought about it.

Yeah, well that's the that's the main thing, because nothing worse than like trying to enjoy a project and you know, you got somebody supposed to be from Atlanta but they sound in British. You're like, oh man, I just it throws it off. So the fact that people would ask me where I'm from or what part I was like cool because I don't need you know.

You practice that like or did you you.

You practice that like or did you you.

Know part of it was? I used to in my set, I would do this Denzel bit. So Denzel being from Mount Vernon just well how that came about. I used to watch films with my boys. Uh, we would as actors, we would watch different stuff, and as friends, we just watched. We're fans of Denzel, so just naturally I would go back through the story. Hey, yo, did you remember that part when Denzel said you didn't land no blimoit rock, but Blimomit Rock landed okay on us whatever the line was. And so I never really worked on the Denzel voice that was just kind of there, so having a little bit of that as a foundation of some New York but also shout out to Doug who was our dialect coach. Funny thing about Doug is Doug is a like Spielberg looking white boy, like beard, older guy, glasses and you know nothing about him. On site would say south Side Jamaica Queens, but he would drill us man and we would go through these exercises. And then also I was always outside too. I was kind of immersed in the culture because I wanted to figure out just the dialect and just what was going on. Also listened to a lot of a lot of Queens rappers listen, you know, nas was always just the soundtrack for me throughout the project, but just also just being outside and just seeing how passionate New Yorkers can be about everything, everything, simple things.

It's just interesting to me when other people talk about how New Yorkers talk, because I just you know, I'm from here. So sometimes they get it right sometimes, but it's just funny because we do have certain words that we say.

Just you know, I just appreciate it. I just appreciate it. So to stay in that, I just never while I was shooting the show. I didn't like go back to my South Central dialect and they come back to Lah. It's just too much. So I would just kind of stay in it even off set. That's my one practice that I would do. Everything else I would leave at work, but the dialect. I just try to hold on to that, because you know, that's little things like that can just It's like, it's like we're in nineteen ninety one and then the last thing you want to see is a background actor texting. It's like it just takes.

You out, feel like that's impossible.

You out, feel like that's impossible.

It takes you out of the zone. So I just wanted to stay in the zone. So shout out to shout out all to New York, and everybody ran into who would who had conversations because I was listening and listening trying to listen.

Well, now you also are doing stand up coming, You've been doing stand up comedy, and I feel like your White Tea Talks really prepared you for that. I always feel like if you can sit and talk to a camera about a topic for no one talking back to you or doing that, that's a real skill to be able to have to hold somebody's attention to have these topics that you could just sit there and discuss and it'll be like something random like church being commercialized. Now you have one where you talk about that they got the VIP line and.

Now you have one where you talk about that they got the VIP line and.

Yeah, you know, well, and I agree. I'm glad you acknowledged that because I think people think that's what's so annoying about respectfully, that's what so annoying about the podcasts world. I think there's so many people doing it, but they don't understand it's a real skill to do. What it is you do is not everybody. Don't have can't hold a conversation, don't have things to talk about, don't have an angle. So for those of you who do it, well, shout out to y'all and the other ones who are trying to figure it out. You know, do what you do, but you know, it's a real skill. You know, it's a real skill. I want to just I know, people, now, how you gonna come up here and talk about me? I just get my podcasts? He talking about me. I'm not talking about anybody. I'm just saying in general, it's a skill to know how to have some sort of conversation or an angle. So with the white tea talks. That's just me in my perspective on these different topics in church being one of those things where I grew up in church, I played in church, and so forth. But I feel like today we're just at a time where I'm a little old school in the sense of sometimes I don't I'm not necessarily trying to hear a bunch of opinions about stuff when it comes to spiritual guidance, Just like, what's just give me the truth and let me figure it out from there, as opposed to you trying to dazzle it or communicate with me. So, for example, let's say I go to a church and the pastor to see me in the church, you know, and God is doing something special, He's raising everybody, even Cainan don't do that. Just let just give me the word. I'm good with just whatever the bodyble says, whatever whatever special guidance is. But you know, so the white tea talks are just me just simply, you know, based in truth, though I don't want it's not even not necessarily opinion, especially with the relationship. I'm just like, yo, here's just another angle. I'm not saying it's the only way, it's the right way or the wrong just consider another angle to what you may already believe. That's all all.

Right, but let me ask your opinion on a couple of things that have been happening in television and you know, rumors, all right, this was a topic we talked about up here. Married to medicine quad and her boy friend, they've been dating. You don't have to worry about it if you've never seen it. But anyway, she wants them to live together. But she wants him to move into her house, and he felt like traditionally, as a man, he didn't feel like he should be moving into a woman's home. You know, He's like, why don't we get a place together and you rent your place out? But she loves her house. She's like, look, I you know I did this. This is the first house I bought in my almost a beautiful home. Now could you see moving into a woman's house or would you feel like now we got to get something on our own? Or does that feel you feel like she got a nice house, I'll move in.

Or does that feel you feel like she got a nice house, I'll move in.

Absolutely not not happening. You know. The thing about it is this though, there's a different it's a thing. It's sometimes I said this way, in general, we can we can do things emotionally that may cause us to feel differently from when we first thought to approach whatever that is. So it's the same way. It's the same thing. Sometimes when I was when I was teaching, I was working to have school programs and so forth, and I used to tell the parents, try not to give out a reward when you're super excited, or discipline when you're very upset, because emotionally we can make promises in ideas that we can't keep. So I'm saying is to say that as a guy, I would not move into like now. I've don't get me wrong, I've stayed in there a couple of times. I spend but full on. You know, I don't even play games. But here's my xbox and hear my hats and put them up. No, because at any point, if you know you don't come in early enough for you know you don't, you don't put the seat back down, You're going to get a notice. And you know it's also a thing. It's a thing for that kind of power is a different thing man, and in the hands of a of a woman. So I say, hey, keep it safe and find something mutual, or if she don't want to get rid of the home, cool, keep your home and maybe if you want to rent it out or still do something. And then hey, baby, let's let's go get this studio apartment together. At least it's ours. And it's because that way we on equal footing. But him going on the lease, oh man, him going over there.

Her house is beautiful though she got a nice pool, hot tub. I mean, what afall she.

Gonna And she's gonna remind him of it every time he acts up. You're in my nice pool. You don't like how my roote's gonna change.

Gonna And she's gonna remind him of it every time he acts up. You're in my nice pool. You don't like how my roote's gonna change.

Now. Another thing that you talked about on your White Tea talk. You talked about people who all of a sudden become like these financial gurus after taking a course.

Now. Another thing that you talked about on your White Tea talk. You talked about people who all of a sudden become like these financial gurus after taking a course.

You know, not to cut you off, but the knowing. This is the thing about it. And I'm speaking on behalvy and I'm not even coming from someplace broke. I'm just on behalf of people who are trying to become financially literate and trying to understand what to do with their finances. First off, those of you who understand money, this is what I want. I would like for you just to consider. Here's another angle. Everybody don't have five thousand dollars ten thousand dollars to just invest. If they do got that kind of money, they don't have that kind of money to risk. As far as like this, I member in my house, we grew up and we had like one family man, and I remember I used to try to drive when I got my license, and my mom was like, listen, we don't have another if you wreck the car. This is it like in my house. Maybe because I'm coming from a different place, but my angle is this, I didn't grow up in a family where I had people I could borrow from, Like that's not my reality of just saying, or even for myself. It wasn't like I could go on go away to school or somewhere and be and my mom drove up with the with the U haul and had new bed sheets and all my supplies. I couldn't borrow. From my mind, that wasn't the household that grew up. And so coming from that angle, I wish that those who are financially stable remember you're also My question is do you want to help people get financially stable or do you just want to let us know how much you know about finances, because if you care, talk to us in a way that we understand. People get on there and say, hey, listen, man.

You know, not to cut you off, but the knowing. This is the thing about it. And I'm speaking on behalvy and I'm not even coming from someplace broke. I'm just on behalf of people who are trying to become financially literate and trying to understand what to do with their finances. First off, those of you who understand money, this is what I want. I would like for you just to consider. Here's another angle. Everybody don't have five thousand dollars ten thousand dollars to just invest. If they do got that kind of money, they don't have that kind of money to risk. As far as like this, I member in my house, we grew up and we had like one family man, and I remember I used to try to drive when I got my license, and my mom was like, listen, we don't have another if you wreck the car. This is it like in my house. Maybe because I'm coming from a different place, but my angle is this, I didn't grow up in a family where I had people I could borrow from, Like that's not my reality of just saying, or even for myself. It wasn't like I could go on go away to school or somewhere and be and my mom drove up with the with the U haul and had new bed sheets and all my supplies. I couldn't borrow. From my mind, that wasn't the household that grew up. And so coming from that angle, I wish that those who are financially stable remember you're also My question is do you want to help people get financially stable or do you just want to let us know how much you know about finances, because if you care, talk to us in a way that we understand. People get on there and say, hey, listen, man.

All you gotta do you get a CPA, You get a CPA, you get a TTL. Once you get TTL, you put three thousand dollars into the IRA eight and ora. And for listen, bro, we don't know all the letters and all of that. Talk to us in a way. Let's if you how much you gotta and go talk low numbers. If you already got more making more than that, they probably already get it. Hey, listen, you gotta Let's take me, for example, I'm thinking that abstual program job, maybe fifteen bucks, and now it's kind of a raise. But let's just say, yo, if you're making about three hundred dollars, three to four hundred dollars every other week, Okay, this is what you gotta do. Just take fifty dollars of that, put that away here, and after you get that, talk to us and like you want us to grow with you.

Otherwise it's just annoying. It's you know, and I think people, I think sometimes people they get they get a kick off of being able to talk, uh, talk at you and not like like talk to me, talk with me if you want me to. If you that's if you care. Now if you don't care, and you want to continue to talk about your financial gain, and that's cool. It's just like sometimes you know, I hear about the people that be bragging about the house they live in and but they live in two below Mississippi. The houses were two hundred bucks. I'm like, yeah, I know, you got a four bedroom with a pool in the yard and in a you know, in a farm, but la in Los Angeles, you gotta be doing well. You know, let's start there. If you care now, if you don't care, then they do what you do for your ego or whatever whoever it is you're servicing. But I'm just talking on behalf of somebody that comes from you know, twenty eight dollars in his bank account, so you know, I just speak for those people.

I'm thinking stuff like that because I'm so problem like I got to figure out a way to pull a quicker down, you know, a quick joke. So that's where I was. But I just knew I worked at the school because I love working kids. And I still do shout out to n CRIF National College Resources Foundation organization where we helped students get into the HBCUs. So I still shout out to Yoyo, me and yo Yo. We're part of that. Ambassadors kel Mitchell DaVinci from being Math, we're all a part of this as ambassadors. But again, I love working with kids, so I knew. I knew that that was where I needed to be at the time. So fortunately I didn't have you know, I don't have kids. I didn't have a lot of responsibilities. Just had a car, note, cell phone. That was about it. So if I could keep my my maintenance stuff down, I didn't really need a high pand job at the time. So but I just was like, yea, I gotta stay focused and that was all I was on and let me work these open mics comedy clubs until something happened. I didn't know. I just knew I was enjoying what I was doing. But that's why it's important to do what it is you love to do, because you can do it for free, or it'll help you sustain doing it for free if you actually like what it is you're doing. So I just knew I had to stay very focused, and I knew one thing. I knew I wasn't gonna have no kids because I don't know nothing else. I know kids are expensive.
