You finally got a product that's worth putting the light on, man.
And, uh...
Bro, a lot of people don't know this about me.
I am not the health of this motherfucker,
but I would juice anything.
I'm not even a fan of a lot of the shit.
But sometimes when you juice it, it hit different.
Bro, you ever had a vegetable green juice
and you're just like,
nigga, what is this?
But you don't really want to know.
You just don't want to fuck up the nutritional.
Remember them juices we used to get that first season
of wild or not?
But we used to get up early and walked to get juice, man.
So to see a brother in the juice game, we gotta show you much love.
Exactly.
So give us a little, appreciate it.

Honestly, bro, I was...
For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the Turning, River Road.
I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.
In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader.
married himself to 10 girls
and forced them into a secret life of abuse.
Why did I think that way?
Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man
and thinking to the point that if I died for him,
that would be the greatest honor.
But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped
and sparked an international manhunt.
For all those years, you know,
he was the predator and I was the prey.
And then he became the prey.

Growing up, I was a kid that go to the McDonald's and I hit the machine, tap all them things, try that joint, pull that junk out, tap two of them, pull it out.
But I ain't really thinking that.
You're going to get banned doing that shit, man.
We had a hug, hug McDonald's, but no, we did,
I did that joint for a while, man,
but like, honestly, it was really an idea
me and my partner was doing.
So in college, I was the party guy.
I threw all the parties, I made sure everybody was good,
you know what I'm saying?
And so my partner was like, bro, I spent, man,
I spent $2,000 in the gym.
I'm like, bro, how the hell you do that?
He said, man, it's a dude in there got a smoothie bar, right?
He sells smoothies, rap, Sally.
He said, I spent $40 with me a day.
I'm like, that's a good idea.
You know what I'm saying?
So it was a gym I worked out of the end,
and they was like, you know,
They had a little spot that was available.
They weren't doing it.
So I went to holiday them.
I was like, bro, what y'all, you know, what y'all doing?
And so from there, I was selling cars.
And from there, three months, I opened up.
You know what I'm saying?
So I had a dope idea.
I used to love the California raisins.
You know what I was a lot of local.
Oh, yeah, they were true, man.
It was hard.
A lot of people don't remember when they used to do
the California raisin commercial, bro.
I didn't even eat raisins, man.
But I used to love the California raisins dog.
I did because they was a black group.
You know, they're good.
It was a temptation.
It was a temptation.
Yeah.
I did.
As soon as I said, I started eating prunes too.
I would eat the prunes?
I did.
Wasn't Ray Charles of California raising at one time?
Nah, they kind of like did like a knockoff version of his voice.
The one that went popular was when they remixed the Temptations.
Oh, I heard it through the great five.
And all the raisins, but they kind of looked like roaches a little bit.
That was the only thing about it.
It was blackface.
Okay.
It was real fucked up.
It was literally blackface.
I got you.
It was dope, though.
It was dope as hell.
So I wanted to modern-day version of them boys, man.
You know what I'm saying?
So I was like, I didn't want to do nothing typical.
And, you know, all the smoothies, every smoothie company you go to, it's tropical passion,
man, I was like, man, I'm gonna name much.
I'm got the dances, you know what I'm saying.
So I came up with like the nay-nade, the electric slide, the U-Kill'em.
You know, I had to detain.
That's my favorite one.
That U-Kill.

On your ass.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, I knew that joint man.
And they start throwing a hammer at me.
So I got, first they start sending the health department at me.
You know what I'm saying?
Every week, it was a health department in my store.
One of my stores.
I had six stores, two food trucks.
So every week, they was at one of my spots.
Then that didn't work.
Then I got ordered by the state.
I got ordered three times.
God, damn.
Now, IRS, the state, bro.
And finally, they hit me.
I lost about 175 cash.
Kill me.
I had to shut down everything.
I still owned all my equipment.
You know what I'm saying?
I didn't know nothing about credit.
I just knew cash was king.
You know, I woke up every morning
and looked at my numbers.
Like, hey, boy, I'm good, you know what I'm saying?
But when they hit it, they had nothing to stand on.
You know, I owned all my equipment,
owned all my trucks.
My wife was a veterinarian.
So she was like, shoo, bro.
I can apply for some jobs out here.
Let's go to Atlanta.
Yeah, you started on us again on the load, bro.
I'm just gonna let that cook for a second.
You mean to tell me you have married a successful black woman, too?
Just let that breathe for a minute.
You got it in there so careful.
You know my wife of veteran.
Yeah.
The first thing I thought about was bunnies.
I was, she'd be saving bunnies.
All the way live.
You hit that one on the end.
Bro, that was...
Got her with the juice.
That's a whole other angle.
You come at her with the juice.
Yeah, niggins and took you on date,
they ain't never made you a juice.
When you married a woman who's a veterinary,
you can pursue your passions and say,
baby, I want to do juice.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Whatever.
I got you.
I got $50,000 on puppy shots today.
You made $50,000 on puppy shots today.
You're good, baby.
Black veterinarian, too, bro.
I couldn't be no black veterinarian.
You know how much white people are paid to say their pets?
What?
I'll be walking on that.
It's not looking good.
We didn't roll business, though.
He swallowed a tennis ball.
You ain't seen him.
You ain't seen him take the gloves off.
That niggas is all right.
Hey, what's the gloves come on?
I'm sorry, ma'am.

Grover's not going to make it.
The surgery was touching God.
Well, actually, we got a special juice that I put together for my husband makes.
It's $30,000 a month, but it's so worth it.
To be six months of physical therapy.
That's not my meat.
$15,000 in a session.
For real.
For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the Turning, River Road.

I did a couple free events.
I did a bunch of free events, bro.
I moved down here.
My account was terrible.
terrible. It was dead. My first event I did was with ET and he had a little basketball
camera. I did it for free. But from that event, I got booked on the Tyler Perry studio
because somebody that watched ET seen the event, they pulled us on and then from there
we just hit the ground running. Man, I'm so fucking goofy. I'm thinking you're talking about with the real
ET. I'm like, damn, you didn't got plugged in with the aliens, nigga. Entertainment.
I know, I'm true, but I'm like, dang, this little went from losing everything to ET came back
for this nigga, like, we heard about your juice
on our planet, man.
We want to give you a shot.
We're all that shit.
I know you're everywhere in your trucks

All the way he put off me now, man.
What way to do so?
You're going.
Oh, man.
So, like, has your experience been, have you grown more since you've been here than you feel, because you still?
You had a bunch of success in Alabama, but since you've been in Atlanta, do you feel like
you've been able to reach more people and, you know, get more out in regards to your business
and brand?
Well, you know, the thing is, like, in Atlanta, everything comes from Atlanta, pretty much
everything started in Atlanta.
And so being here, it allowed me to reach more people that have more influence.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So essentially, it's the same thing.
I'm playing the same game.
But I'm able to reach more people with more influence that can put you on a bigger platform.
Because everybody, everybody want to be in Atlanta, right?
Everybody want to be a part of what's going on, what's hot.
And now I can just set myself up right in front of them.
And there's nobody that's doing what I do that look like me.
You know what I'm saying?
That's why I was about to ask you, like, who have you got your juice to?
Like, that somebody who's a fan of?
Like, and you're like, nigga they drink it by shit.
Like, who were you had in a few of those moments?
