Olive Garden interview goes wrong.
A man looking for a job at Olive Garden has gone viral after revealing how his job interview went horribly wrong.
Ocho, let's take a look. Wait, how can an interview go wrong?
Well, we're about to take a look at it.
I went on an interview at Olive Garden.
This is how it fucking went.
It went horrible.
They sat me in a room, said we'd be with you shortly.
I was in that bitch for three hours before somebody even spoke to me.
Then when she spoke to me.
That's a good test.
She didn't even really ask me nothing.
She just had a piece of paper out like she was writing stuff down and be like, we're going to call you.
How the fuck you going to call me?
And you ain't even got my phone number.
The position is full right now, but we'll see if we have an opening.
I got to talk to the manager.
You is the manager.
You know if it's openings or not.
And if it ain't no openings,
then why is it on a website that y'all hiring for this position?
It don't make sense.
And why it take you three hours to tell me that?
Well, listen, this is an easy fix for him.
But one, you don't need to make a video.
Normally, if you try to holler at a girl
and she give me the run around
and she wants you to apply pressure,
you know what you do?
You exit stage left.
Olive Garden, you apply for position.
They made you wait three hours.
The fact that you even waited three,
I wouldn't even wait three.
You shouldn't even been in that long That is a sign
Listen
That's a sign letting you know
You know what
We don't really want you here
We don't want you here
So I'm going to take myself
And my services
Elsewhere
To someone else
There are many jobs you can do
There's no need to complain
About Olive Garden
Fuck them
Oh shit my bad.
Forget them.
You want to play?
Okay, cool.
There are other people that will hire you.
You don't have to play that game.
And you're going to deal with that a lot in life.
You're going to deal with that a lot in life.
Apply pressure.
Wait three hours.
What do you mean you don't have any openings?
The signs are right there.
What are they telling you?
They're telling you the signs. You don't need, you don't need. Oh, yeah signs are right there What are they telling you? They're telling you the signs
You don't need
Oh, yeah, okay, bet
I see what time it is
Next
Keep it moving
On to the next
I think for him to wait that long
He probably really needed that job
Right, right
But listen
The fact that they had you waiting that long
You got to see the play ahead of time When you come to the line of sc that long, you got to see the play ahead of time.
When you come to the line of scrimmage, you got to see the play ahead of time and see what's going on.
You know what the play is.
Next, if you need that job, on to the next.
I am not playing that game with y'all.
Child, please.
Yeah.
I mean three hours
oh yeah
come on now
I've been
waiting as it is
Ocho
I would have
gave him 15 minutes tops
15 minutes tops
because when you have
an interview
they tell you to come in
at a specific time
obviously the time
that they give you to come in
they have that slot available to meet with you
so if you mean to tell me
you tell me to be at 3 o'clock
and you still got me waiting
to damn near 6
3.15 I'm out of there
yeah
I was like
I'm here for the job interview you guys told me
you'll be with me shortly it's been 15 minutes
I mean I want to know how much
longer. Okay, five minutes.
Five minutes, sir. We'll be right with you in five minutes.
Okay. Hey,
rather than five minutes, Ojo.
Matter of fact, I'm going to set my
stopwatch on my phone.
I'm going to hit you with a cheater.
And for one, if you're looking
for a job and you really need that job, you don't fill
out one job application.
You fill out multiple applications.
You fill out multiple applications.
I'm assuming that's the job
that called him back first.
I got you.
I see where you're going with it.
But playing that game they playing?
Shh.
Nah, you learn that real quick.
You learn that real quick in life.
Oh, you want to play? Oh, I see what you want. Oh, that real quick in life. Oh, you want to play?
Oh, I see what you want.
Oh, that's how we doing.
Okay, bet.
But Ocho,
you know how it is.
It's like that in life.
Sometimes when people feel
they got you over a barrel,
what they do, they play with you.
Play with you all the time.
All the time.
Relationship, it doesn't matter.
They feel you,
well, you can't go nowhere.
You ain't going to find nobody.
I'm the best you got. They feel you. Well, you can't go nowhere. You ain't going to find nobody. I'm the best you got.
Shit.
There's always, there's always someone better.
Now, it might not be good for you, but there's always someone better.
Well, is it good to me or good for me?
Listen, if it was that good.
Because a lot of times, some things can be good for you, but not
good to you. And sometimes things that are
good to you aren't good for you. So which one are you
looking for, Ocho? I mean, you like to have something
good for you and good to you, but if you
can only have one, which one are you choosing? Good
for you or good to you?
Good for me.
Yeah, I need something that's good for me.
Now, when you're younger, you
can have the things that are good to you.
Yeah, for sure.
Most of the time,
that shit come with that toxicity bullshit.
That toxicity.
Oh, yeah.
I think you were really toxic.
I don't know why everybody talk about
unks was toxic.
Unks were toxic.
Right.
Man, they were pulling guns on me.
They run down on me.
I ain't toxic.
But listen,
but you a cat, boy.
You got six lives.
You got nine lives.
You know, you six something up. You got three left. I ain't using... Uh-oh, Joe. Uh-oh, I ain't toxic. But listen, you a cat, boy. You got six lives. You got nine lives. You don't use six of them up.
You got three left.
I ain't use none of them, Ocho.
I ain't use it no more.
I ain't use no life for a long time.
I'm saving them.
Boy, you living on the edge, boy.
Ocho, I wasn't bothering nobody, Ocho.
I'm taking your word.
Nah, come on.
Now you know when you see... Ocho, I was young then, Ocho. I'm taking your word. Now, you know when you see...
Ocho, I was young then, Ocho.
Ocho, man, you know when you were in your teens,
you were in your early 20s.
You can't listen to no women, man.
You can barely listen to them
at our age now, let alone back
then.
Come on, now.
They tell you
what you want to hear.
That's what I'm looking for.
That's what I'm looking for.
They're going to tell you what you want to hear.
They tell you what they're looking for me.
I call them, you know what, my grandma used to call them white lies.
We're going to tell you
the whole truth. We're going to just give you a little bit of it.
Right. And exaggerate the rest.
So what was I supposed to do with that, Ocho?
I can't go in assuming everybody lying.
No, no, no.
Why not?
Come on, Ocho.
That's a terrible...
You tell me I ain't living.
Now, if I go in assuming everybody lying...
I want you going in there
using common sense and logic.
I did.
And way understanding.
If you like her her if you like this
individual and she's that oh my god they're fine and she's stacked up like a a buttermilk biscuit
if you see that what you think everybody else see and you think she ain't gave nobody else no chance
you think ain't nobody else lingering we got to use common sense and logic when entering these
situations look, my girlfriend
always say, boy, everybody has somebody
it's just to what extent?
Casually, dating,
significant other,
fiance, everybody has
somebody. It's just to what
extent is that you
involved with that person? So just
to have somebody that's like, I ain't got nobody
I ain't, no, hell no. Lying, lying, lying. Don't play that person. So just to have somebody that's like, I ain't got nobody. No,
I'm not lying.
Lying.
Don't play that game.
And it was,
well,
I'm glad to be off the market like Boston boy.
Well,
I mean,
that's what I thought.
That's what I thought too.
Oh,
Joe,
I'm glad. I thought that was off the market.
They told me they was off the market.
Hey,
Ocho, I mean, they say the thing
was in escrow. You know, you see the for sale
sign in the yard one day and all
of a sudden it's gone. You figure, hey,
off the market, right?
But the for sale sign was still
in the yard. So I came by, I went
on and I talked to the agent. Yeah, the for sale sign, it fell. It was in the yard. So I came by. I went on in there. I talked to the agent.
Yeah, the for sale sign had failed.
It was in the yard.
It just failed.
So you couldn't see it.
The for sale sign just failed.
So it just so happens I saw the for sale sign,
and the agent was in the house.
The person that was selling it.
And she said this house wasn't available, Ocho.
Hey, boys, it's a dirty game, boy.
It's a dirty game.
I'm glad I'm waving.
I ain't got no white flag, but I'm waving my beanie. You out?
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
It's a game.
It's all a game at the end of the day.
It's all a game.
And like you said, as long as you know the rules.
It's a game, man.
I'm out.
I'm out.
Jersey and the Rafters.
Y'all can have it.
Ain't nothing out there.
Ocho say way to... Ocho say way to white flag.
Way to flag, boy.
Ocho, man, you know
we was in Vegas
and when Chattie came up
and you...
Monique was saying
that I need to date older women. Yeah, yeah.
That's what you need. That's what you need, man.
Why y'all... Hold on.
They talking about...
I read a comment. I don't know
why these older men want to
date these young girls that could be
young enough to be their daughters
and don't find that creepy.
I respond to say, I don't know why these women
be in everybody's business and don't find that creepy. I respond to say, I don't know why these women be in everybody's business
and don't find that creepy.
Hmm.
But what, hold on.
But if Stella can get her groove
back, Shay gonna get his groove back.
Come on, man. How'd Shay got his groove back?
Yeah. Y'all didn't say no
for Stella, because I remember I went to the movie
and just clapped it. Yeah, child.
Do it, baby. That's what I'm talking
about. Now, all of a sudden,
O'Shea trying to get his groove back
is a problem. Yeah, it's a double standard.
It's a double standard. And sometimes
this is what they try to do. Older women,
this is what older women try to do.
Older women will guilt trip you.
It will guilt trip you
into why you're dealing with younger women
and because ain't nobody picking us.
I mean, at the end of the day, there's somebody for everybody.
There's somebody for everybody and your day is going to come.
Your day is going to come.
There is somebody for you.
There's somebody out there for you.
Most of the time is our expectations aren't really realistic.
Yeah. Aren't really realistic. Yeah.
Aren't really realistic.
You're waiting on this rich man
to come on a white horse
and shoot you off your feet.
Oh, I don't know why
I'm dating him.
I'm like, baby,
you didn't have a chance
no matter what your age was.
You, you, you just, just like,
no, you had zero chance, less than zero, a negative integer.
But Ocho, whatever happened to be with, be with somebody that makes you happy.
Right, right.
That used to be the thing.
Oh, I don't care.
He make me, he or she makes me happy.
Now, well, if they need to make you happy, but they need
to be at a certain age.
Yeah.
I ain't bothering nobody.
So I just want to know. Let's just say
for the sake of argument, I dated somebody
I dated somebody 30.
What 30? That's a good number.
I'm just saying.
That's a good number.
Who am I harming?
Well, you got kids, okay, and?
I need somebody kicking with my daughters anyway.
Hey, y'all go shopping.
But I'm just saying,
okay, I date somebody,
I date somebody 35, I date somebody
28. I'm just trying to figure
out what does it hurt? Who am I harming? I date somebody 35. I date somebody 28. I'm just trying to figure out.
Right, right, right.
What does it hurt?
Who am I harming?
I ain't bothering nobody.
Y'all make it seem like I'm twisting a person's arm. I got him in a dungeon downstairs and I'm feeding him red water.
Right.
Y'all do realize that anybody that dates Shannon Sharp did so on their own free will and volition.
Right, right, right.
Because you, listen,
well, you the cats now.
You the big fish now.
Shit, who ain't going to want to...
Shit.
All right.
Man, I was Moby Dick in the 80s.
I don't know what you're talking about, Ochoa.
I ain't just become this.
I've been here.
Yeah.
Listen, I know.
I know, I know.
But you that boy.
That's why when you tell me stories about women that have left you in the past, I'm like, what are we doing? How can we not see the vision?
The women, normally women see the vision. They see the trajectory in which way you're going.
Like, there's only one way to go. And that's up. How can you not see you going that way?
How can you not see it? And this is the funny thing about it.
When it comes to successful men,
that's about the top tier.
You know, there are tiers. You got tier one,
you got tier two, you got tier three, right?
You're a tier one
individual, you know? That's
something you want to be attached to
because not only are you a tier one individual,
it helps. Wherever they's attached to your hip,
it helps whatever they have going on in life as well.
But Ocho,
a lot of problems that I ran into,
especially when I was in college
and early in my career,
oh, child, I wouldn't be with him.
Ain't no way I put up with that.
I say, now you listen to somebody
that ain't got no guy.
Now, what you think?
If they have an opportunity to be in your shoes, they wouldn't listen to you, what't got no guy. Now, what you think? If they had an opportunity to be
in your shoes,
they wouldn't listen to you, what you was telling them.
I said, but you're going to let your
friends talk you right up out
of the relationship.
Yeah.
And now look where you're at.
And then, listen, this is another
thing. They always swear they'll be able to
find better. They always swear I'll be able to find better. I'll be able to find some just like that.
And I hope you do. I don't wish I don't wish anybody that I was with. I go our ways. I want them to find.
You never wish it, but let's be realistic, because the higher up the ladder you try to climb in getting an individual, you have to understand the competition
that also comes with that.
What separates you from the rest of the women?
What is going to make you that much more special
than everybody else that he picks and chooses you?
Think about it.
Everybody fine.
Everybody got a BBL.
Everybody got ass.
Everybody got titties.
Everybody got lashes, makeup.
Everybody has the same
shit.
What is going to separate you from
everybody else where all of a sudden you're going to get
your baller and he's only going to fuck with you
and you only?
What is it?
Think about it. Let's just say
for the sake of argument, you take
there's
450 NBA players. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you take, there's 450 NBA players.
Let's just say 29 major league baseball team.
Let's just say there are 600 baseball players.
There's 1,500 NFL players, 32 teams, 53.
Let's just say 1,700, 1,800 football players.
Yeah.
So now we're talking about 21.
So we're talking about less than 3,000 professional athletes in the U.S.
3,000.
Hold on.
Hold on.
3,000.
That's it.
We're talking about, okay, now you want to talk about high values.
We're talking about, guys, let's just say people that make somewhere between 500 and 500,000
and above.
Yeah.
There are more fine women walking around than there are men that make that kind of
salary.
I don't think women have ever done the number crunching.
I don't think women have ever done the number crunching.
They just think because I'm fine,
I got ass.
Man, please.
I could put, hey, listen,
hold on, I could put that shit on.
I'm going to get me one.
But not understanding how difficult
and how small the percentage of men
that, no, hold on.
How small the percentage of men
that actually have it.
No, I'm talking about like,
really got it.
Yeah, Ojo.
No, you really got it.
I'm talking about I could change your motherfucking life
with a wire.
For sure.
One wire.
Hey, I'm going to see you.
You know what?
I don't know how you're feeling today,
but I'm going to see you
300,000 real quick.
At the blink of an eye,
life has changed
because you ain't never had it before.
And that ain't nothing.
You ever been fishing?
I'm sure you ever been deep sea fishing.
Nah, I ain't getting my head wet in that water.
It's not the hooking.
It's not the catching.
It's the landing.
You can hook a fish.
But can you get it to the boat?
Come on, man.
You can get it to the tension.
Yeah.
You might get even badder.
But can you land it?
I've gone deep sea fishing.
Right.
And I've had situations where I got to let it, hey. When you land it. Ah. I've gone deep sea fishing. Right. And I've had situations where I gotta let it, hey,
I just hit it.
Yeah.
He goes straight down.
He goes straight down. Yes, sir. At some point
in time, Ocho, you get tired of wrestling,
you cut him loose. Yeah.
If all my fishermen out there, you know what I'm talking
about. Yeah. Now now they can back the boat
down to him cause before
they didn't back the boat down to him
now they'll back the boat
but you still
hold him now hey you gotta hold him
just enough now you gotta now he fight
for his life cause he hooked

After you hook it, can you get him to the boat?
The boat mean your house.

No matter how old you were, if you were younger than them,
you were a boy or a son.
She's like, girl, you left that good boy?

You know, we all have dreams.
We all have aspirations.
We all have expectations.
And it's all about finding someone to meet those.
If your dream is to get whatever it is
you want, I'm all for it.
We all deserve to be happy.
Okay, if I deserve
to be happy, my happiness
is somewhere between the age of 28
and 35. That's my happiness.

the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode,
I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream
gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there.

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.

Ocho, check this out. TMZ, our daily dum-dum segment.
Do we got a graphic for that? Here we go. Ocho, check this out.
We got another one?
Yep.
Oh, that's live.
TMZ released a video today of Hall being berated and challenged to a fight by a man who reportedly asked him for an autograph.
Right.
According to a witness, Hall turned down the request and the fan became angry.
Carl Banks,
I know Banks,
NFL player,
played with the Giants along with LT,
won a Super Bowl.
Hmm.
Might have won two.
Might have been on the 86 and 90 team.
But anyway,
Carl Banks was standing
next to Breeze Hall
when the incident took place.
And the video showed the fan
telling Banks,
I don't care.
He's not, he ain't gonna tell me he's gonna the video showed the fan telling Banks, I don't care. He ain't going to tell me he's going to slap me.
The fan told Hall to be a man and repeatedly cursed him
because he refused to give him an autograph.
Reese Hall tweeted,
If you know me, you know I always show love.
There's a time and a place for everything.
But harassing me at baggage claim ain't the time nor the place.
100.
Thankfully, Carl and my guy Joe
were there to keep anything from happening.
Ah, that's...
Ah.
You see what I'm...
Ocho.
I get it.
Public figure.
Right.
But have I given up the right to say no?
Mm-mm. And it comes comes. I go to the airport.
I say, man, if I if I take one night, nobody. Bro, we're the Hartsfield Jackson.
What do you mean? Nobody goes see us taking a picture. Right.
I'm in L.A.X. What you mean? I'm at the All-Star game.
What do you mean? Nobody's going to see us taking a picture?
Right.
So in other words, I've given up my right to say I can't say at no point in time in the history moving forward, I can't say no.
That's tough, man.
That's tough.
That's tough.
I mean, everybody's different.
Everybody's different. And I understand. I mean, everybody's different. Everybody's different.
And I understand where Breece is coming from.
Well, as long as nobody else gets to say no, I don't mind having a problem.
Like I said, I'll play for free, but I need everybody else to play for free.
So I don't mind saying yes to everything,
but I'm going to need everybody else to say yes to everything too.
So is that what we on?
Right.
So I can't be the only one that can't say no.
Right.
I mean, fans just have to be respectful.
Fans have to be respectful.
You know, you ask for autograph.
You ask the right way.
Ask politely.
And if the person declines, obviously in this case being Brees Hall,
then you just say thank you.
I appreciate it.
I enjoy watching you as a player.
And just keep it moving.
That's all.
That's all you can do.
That's all you can do. That's all you can do.
I'm glad Banks was there.
And I don't know who this
young man is, but I know
Banks. I played against
Banks when he
was in Cleveland. So I know Banks
did radio with him,
know him pretty good.
Stand-up guy, loves the game
of football, knows the game of football,
and I'm going to take him at his word.
If he said Brees Hall did none of this
and this is what transpired,
I'm going to take Banks at his word.
Right.

I knew it was Brady.
I knew it was Brady or Big Ben.
All these quarterbacks that have had success
in the postseason,
how do you know
it's only Brady or Ben
just because it's 500 yards?
Because when you said it's 500 yards, I can narrow it down.
You don't realize how hard 500 yards is to get.
Oh, I know how hard it is to get.
That's why there have been guys that have 500 yards.
Dan has a 500-yard game.
Boomer has one.
Matthew Stafford has one.
I think Breeze? I don't think Breeze has one
Norm Van Brocklin
has the record at 554
Warren Moon has one
so there haven't been a whole lot of guys
but I know
Ben has several
and I knew Brady had several
Brady had one in the Super Bowl through for 505
he threw one on a Monday night if if I'm not mistaken, against Miami.

Every time they make it, they going home.
I don't think
the Steelers won 1-6 2016.
I'm going to go with the Steelers.
Okay.
That's half of it.
Yes. But there's another
team that has more.
So I'm going to say

down because you were learning to other people that you was wide
open. I'll be
top of the key and my handles,

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly
into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength
that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast,
focus on your emotional well-being
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you
to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you
to love you fully
if all you're doing
is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.
Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there. And if you can find a way
to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from
our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology,
entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit
in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dr. Frank L.
Bellamy asks,
hey, Uncle Ocho,
what are your thoughts?
Jimmy Johnson being hired
as Cowboy Advisory Board.
So,
now you want to take advice
from him 30 years after the fact after you fired
it listen the only advice that jimmy johnson needs to give jerry is to take a back seat
and let them boys do what they need to do let coach mccarthy do what he needs to do. Nobody needs any more added pressure from his voice on camera anymore.
That's the advice.
They say we left out Quavo.
We left out Quavo and Adam Sandler.
Oh, I forgot goddamn Quavo know how to hoop.
What?
And Adam Sandler.
Adam Sandler can hoop for real?
I thought he'd just be out there messing around.

Yeah.
I got to see some footage on adam sandler i know
quavo that quavo could go now red hood asked uncle nocho what are you what's up with the
49er fan base always attacking teams that beat them bad such as eagles ravens etc they're always
talking trash but silent when they lose always Always talking trash, but failing, falling short.
Are they the worst than the Cowboys fan?
No,
nobody's worse than Cowboys fans.
Nope.
Nobody's worse than the Cowboys fan.
Cause the Cowboys,
you know,
every,
but see the thing is about the Cowboys fans,
they're delusional.
Oh,
this gotta be our year.
This year gonna be our year.
I guarantee you.
But what's the reason behind that? Who continues
to give the Cowboys fans the belief
that this year is our year?
Who is it that's always front and center
making promises and those
promises continue to get broken each
and every year? Who's the issue?
Who's the problem?
True.
And I love Cowboys. Hell, I love I love Cowboy
hell I love every
goddamn body
but again
just sit down
take a back seat
kick your feet up
watch the game
on your yacht
Keith Oliver
asked question
have you
and your significant
other ever snuck off
during a family function
or an event to go hunt?
Nah.
Nah, I got too many kids for that shit,
but ain't no sneaking off.
Yeah, I ain't been to a family function, man.
What, family function?
Boy, ever since Big Mama passed away?
Yeah.
Come on, man.
It ain't the same no more, huh?
It ain't the same no more. You know that music beat, don't you? You talking about family on, man. It ain't the same no more, huh? It ain't the same no more.
You know that movie, though, Joe?
Hey, you talking about family functions, man.
Ever since my grandma passed away, it's not the same.
It ain't the same way it used to be on Sundays, after church.
Everybody meeting at Big Mama's house, you know?
Like the movie Soul Food.
Like, I lived that growing up.
I actually lived how that movie was.
That's how it was at my grandma.
And when she passed away,
once she passed away,
everybody come home.
Yeah, man.
The structure and the discipline
of that family gathering,
it was gone.
Yeah.
I miss them days, man.
Yeah, I don't think we've been,
I don't think we've been together
as a family since Granny passed out
in 2011.
I don't think we've kind of
gotten together since then.
Not all of us.
Roger Kennedy asked,
if life wasn't so busy,
would you consider settling down as a priority?
I feel I'm the same way.
I feel the same way in life.
I think of you as a male, Tracy Ellis Ross.
Is she your type?
Love the show and embrace the,
suck the toes.
Nah, Roger, the last part, the last part no no no we're not
going to do that yes I would
um right now
I'm just so I just don't have the time I mean
my time is devoted I'm going to
you know from ESPN and studying for that
uh nightcap studying for that
club shea shea prepping for that
I just don't have the time and
that's you're right it's not a priority
and I shouldn't make it a priority.
But
right now my priority is work because
there are things that I want to accomplish.
And who knows?
Maybe I just might have a partner.
And there is no marriage that
goes along with that. But
you get something would have
happened to me, you're taken care of.
I'm not going to make that mistake.
Obviously, I have a will and a state,
I have a trust that's already been set up.
I'm not going to make the mistake
that so many other people have made.
And every so often, I'm going to update it.
I just had it done last year.
Going in probably, hopefully by June,
Lord spare my life, I'll update it again.
I like what you said about working and being devoted to the vision and what you're trying
to accomplish, but all work and no play is not a good thing. That's not healthy.
So again, finding a partner, finding someone that you can make time for no matter how busy you are.
Women love to use that excuse all the time.
You know, when you first meet somebody and they love to hit you with it.
Oh, I'm busy.
Oh, I got this going on.
You can make time in between all the stuff you have going on and you need that.
That's something else we got to work.
We got to work on you.
We got to work on that with you.
And always being busy and devoting all this time to just work.
Whether it be nightcap, whether it be club, shea to just work, whether it be nightcap,
whether it be club,
Shay,
Shay,
whether it be ESPN,
whether it be studying.
So you can perfect your craft.
When you are on TV,
you got to have a little fun.
You got,
you got to,
you got to get to goddamn big toe and put it in the water.
I thought you told me,
I thought you told me to take that big toe and put it in somebody's mouth.

Ocho, we about, like I said, next year
this time, Ocho?
Hey, boy. But next year
this time, I'm going to be on a yacht
somewhere. I'm going to be doing a show from a yacht.
I'm going to be doing a show.
Because the thing is, Ocho, for me,
a lot of this stuff
that goes on behind the scenes,
they want to sit down and talk to me in
person. You know what I'm saying? They want to like, okay,
what are we getting?
What can we expect?
So I got to go in there, you know, hey, at the end of the what can we expect you know so i got to go in
there you know hey at the end of the day they want to sit down and they want to talk you know
they want to talk to me they want to see what i'm thinking and i want to see what they're thinking
what is they're expecting from me this is what you're going to be able to get
so i it's more than just you know people like okay all you do no no no no no no no it's a lot more that's going on uh between myself and ash and everybody you know a lot of people behind the volume but a
lot of this is on ash and i play and so she's accepted that responsibility and i thank her for
that uh her and i gave the stomach but uh but uh it's uh it's been it's been better
than I hoped.
But like I said, when
Cat told me that this...
Like when you're a child,
and your grandma, your granddad,
somebody tell you something, and you don't believe it.
But when Cat told me that,
I heard, I'm standing right there
next to him. Jordan is standing right
there. He said, Shannon, they're going to come for you.
I'm like, Cat, I'm cool with everybody.
He said, you're not fit to be.
He said, you're not going to be.
He said, they're going to come for you.
I said, Cat, I'm cool.
You ever heard my name?
He said, no, but you're about to hear it.
Right.
He ain't lying.
I ain't lie. I ain't never, I mean,
I mean, I found myself asking,
asking myself,
is it really worth it?
Sometimes it is.
Sometimes it is.
And then I think about,
I think about what I'm able to do for my family
and what I'm going to be able to do for others.
Long time.
You know, for me to get an opportunity
to bring Bubba Dub to my platform.
Bubba Dub.
To get an opportunity to bring 520 to my platform.
There are going to be a couple of others
that we're looking into to bring
under the Shake Shake Media umbrella.
To do that and to be able to give back
to my university, first and foremost,
Savannah State,
and to be able to help our community.
Yeah, hell yeah, it's worth it.
Because what I'm going to be able to do
is that I wouldn't be able to do
if I wasn't in this situation.
So all that, the criticism
and all the negativity that comes along with it,
when I wake up and realize what
I'm going to be able to do
in the very near future,
I would do it a thousand
times over.
Mm-hmm.
