So that's what we're about to do here. Tell all the fellas why they should start baking. You know, donuts, you know, if you got, you should figure out one recipe. Everybody should have one solid recipe that you can probably do by heart. And so when someone come over your house, come over the crib, you can just bang it out real quick.

You're impressed. She'd be like, wow, you really know how to cook. You only know one thing. How long you'd be with, like, when you were dealing with a chick, how long you'd be with before you bust out the baking skills on? Be like, girl, you ain't even know.

Hanging off the plate. see man that's the that's the cool part about what you do though man it's it's you know it's not something that's very popular so it's i'm always like to you know encourage whoever's watching this man don't always go with the flow you could do something different you know you could do something and then surprise people by your skill set if you get a new skill set so this brother's an example of that yeah that is true mean there's lots of lanes i mean you hit on that first time where you was like not a lot of people do donuts a lot of black business you see it's wains or barbershops I mean, that's all good.

We love to support those. But, you know, you can do other things. I mean, it's telling in the shop. I mean, a lot of people have been open 12 years now, and people still come in the shop and be like, oh, I didn't know it's black on. I think some of the people here was like, hold on, it was black on, you know? Because we eat these on there. And it's like you don't have to, you know, you know, there's layers of being black, you know what I'm saying.

So you don't have to be one way. Monolithic is the word. You don't have to be one way. Yeah, so. They think, yeah, they think all black people are the same. Yeah. But if you come in the shop, you'll catch. small black vibes. I mean, obviously the donuts is quality, so it's nothing like,

oh, this is a lemon pepper chicken donut, you know what I'm saying? But you'll hear the music, you'll hear some R&B playing. He'd be like, hold on, what the fuck? This is some deep cuts here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you want to. Like, who owns this shop? What's y'all playing? So, yeah. So what's out of all the donuts that you make, what would you say is your favorite of your back? Oh, man, I like them all. They all my little babies. So I love them all. But fresh strawberries and cream, my number one seller. So that's a win. So that's a win. People love that one. Cookies and cream is a top one, okay.

That's a winner. You know, the honey glazed cinnamon twirl. That's great. I know the Reese's peanut buttercups and you've got a peanut allergy, but that one's A1. Yeah, I'll never know. I like it. I just like a original glaze. Yeah, regular glaze.
