Starting point is 00:00:00 At that time, that's when I was really so focused and locked in. What big thing, too, is finding a group of people that believe in your vision, who are very similar to me in that aspect, that they make videos, they understand, like, I want to go do a video. With a certain group of people, they'd be like, bro, like, that's embarrassing. Why are you going to get up and go talk to a stranger bars outfit, you know? But I just see it as, this is my job. Go talk to someone here like your outfit.

Oh, man, it's a lot going on, a lot of winds. It's got some good winds over here. You look like you're criminal, so you're lucky they let you here. I look like a criminal.

He's like, if I own a store and I was doing something, security, I'd watch you. And I'm like, bro, why? Like, is it the tattoo? Is it the piercing? Dude, you don't even have a face tattoo. I know.

He had that thing there and everybody freaked out about it. And now every kid's got a face tattoo. Yeah, a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I feel like his like works. Like he just goes with the face structure and in. Sometimes I see someone, I'm like, why? Who had the best base tattoos here? That's been in this room. 2K? That's okay. I'm not familiar with the tattoos.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Do you know 2K baby? I do know who he is, but I'm just not very familiar with his appearance. tattoos, this that. I've seen like the name pop up, you know? We're going to play basketball together. Oh, wow. He's taking me into some place where all the rappers play basketball. Okay. And it's going to be a 58-year-old white guy.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I feel like you could wipe them down, you know? Oh, I'm going to kick their app. Oh, yeah. It's going to be that. I can see. Okay, let's go back to the question about, you know, Whittier Boyle Heights area. So I feel like it wasn't as much the cities that I grew up in, but when I grew up when I was younger, my mom was working a lot. I was living with my drama.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And that entails just watching cartoons, being on the computer, getting lost on the internet. Tell me about your fit check. Which one? No. On you? No, no, no. On all of it. Tell me about how you got into that.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Tell me about, you know, all of it. Give me the whole. Yeah. Math, it goes back. I started in high school interviewing kids when I was a freshman just like, with the phone, shitty little mic. And when I first started, it made me feel like some type of freedom,
Starting point is 00:04:01 some type of joy, you know, just asking kids, like stupid questions. Like, I had to go around school. I remember one of my favorite videos that I did when I was in high school. I printed out a photo of the KFC Colonel Sanders, right? I was going around my school and I'm like, what president is this? And I was just trying to like...
Starting point is 00:04:16 That is so fun. Yeah, I was trying to get like some good reactions from people and just like have fun with my peers at school. hysterical. It was great. It was great. I might, I have to find the video.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It's like lost somewhere, but. If we went to one of those fine educational institutions, I'm talking to Ivy League. Okay. And we did that. That would be hysterical. Yeah, I feel like it's Chad TPT in the internet. Even back then, people were like, oh, is this Abraham Lincoln? And I'm like, bro, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:04:48 This guy makes chicken. But, yeah, it started doing stuff like Sassie. so good. That's so good. They started doing stuff like that and then I started just, I was always in a fashion. So I saw like this trend going around. People would ask show about their fits, this and that like on TikTok, Instagram. I was like, you know, let me try it. I did a couple of videos like that.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And like one of them got like a million views. And like I've never seen like the number million everywhere in anywhere in anywhere in my life. I was like, oh my God, like this is crazy. Started doing more, started doing more, started doing more to where we are now. That's so funny. All right. I've written down some really. serious questions that I need you to have to answer okay?
Starting point is 00:05:26 Yeah, let's do it. All right. When are chokers coming back? When are chokers coming back? Yeah. I love the chokers. You love the chokers. Why do you love the chokers?
Starting point is 00:05:36 When are they coming back? I honestly don't know. I've never been in the chokers, but I feel like there are certain subcultures that still will rule by them until the end of time. Good. Give me those. Like got gots, emoes, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, I don't like the gulf. Give me more. Like, then what are you into? I'll tell you if they wear chokers or not. I don't, it depends. Like, what are they into for them to wear chokers? You know? I don't see them coming back in my realm of life.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I might wear, like, maybe some tight necklaces, but this is like the tight is this getting, man. Oh, disheartening. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm gonna need a little good news, bro. Okay. Maybe if you go to Hot Topic, go to a mall that has those type of stores, just like kick it out a little, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:21 go get yourself a pretzel and sit down like at the bench. you might find somebody coming out with the choker. Do I need mustard with the pretzel? I like sweet pretzels. In my head, I have like a cinnamon sugar pretzel. Oh, that's dope. Because you're the fashion guy. Like, I'm the rehab guy.
Starting point is 00:06:36 If somebody comes to me, they don't have a problem anymore. I'm trying to give you the like, dude, you're the king. You can make it happen. You're the guy who can bring that out. I don't realize that sometimes. Like, when I do videos, like, people watch them for fashion inspiration for this and that I'm going out to have fun. And now that you say that, I'm like, oh, yeah, if I go and get a hot girl with a dog collar
Starting point is 00:07:01 and it gets a million views, people are going to be like, oh, our dog collar is back? Should I wear a dog collar? See what I'm saying? Yeah. But wait, there's no one. Okay, there's more. Would you be willing to talk about Birkenstocks? In Birkenstocks?
Starting point is 00:07:12 Yes. I hate those. Why do you hate them? Because they are the most unsexy things on the face of the earth. They're worse than that, those knickers. See, you're too young to know about knickers. Oh. Okay, girls, there was a whole thing all through my high school with girls with knickers.
Starting point is 00:07:31 They were disgusting. What is that? What is that? It's like pants that go up to your mid cap. Like cap, like cap, like, cap or higher. Okay, well, I don't know what caprice are. I think maybe that's my generation's word for knickers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:49 What if they're comfortable? What is somebody's wearing them for comfort and not for fashion? I don't care. Oh. I mean, not in the slightest. I wouldn't make fun of somebody unless they come at me first. Would you be willing to? I'd be willing to.
Starting point is 00:08:03 They said something to me? No, no, not if. Oh, okay. No, just like. I might think it. I'd be like, oh, Birkenstocks. But like, I'm not going to go and make it a public statement. Okay, well, we're going to talk until you do, because here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Because that's how you why. Okay, okay. You're going to do the thing with the choker, right? Okay. You said you would. Okay, I would. I would. I'd be giving you money for the time.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Dog caller. Okay. We'll see after. If you guys see a video of somebody with a dog collar that's going up, it was because of this moment right here. It's because of you. You're the king. Just like you're willing to do the dog collar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Okay. Then this is the exact opposite. See, I love the dog collars and you're doing me a solid. Okay. But I hate the Birkenstocks. So do me a solid. For some reason, Crocs has me blocked on Instagram. And I think it's because I might have said something one time that I don't recall.
Starting point is 00:08:53 this or that. Same might happen with brokenstocks. Yeah. Okay. So that's a yes. Maybe. All right. Take the maybe.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Can you make certain that that boostier thing stays around? Oh, new style. I love that thing. Okay. If I find somebody on the street wearing it, I'll do a video. Can you? Can you make certain that the boostier thing sticks down a little bit? How about you send me a list of like, yes, yes, yes, no, no?
Starting point is 00:09:18 And I'll see what resonates with me and I can make it happen. Okay. That's good. But we're still going to go through a little more. Okay, we will. Okay, cool. The Bousier thing with the belly ring and the little thing. You have like such a specific, like, it's like creating a person that I see in your mind right now.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Right. And I will try to find it. You do a bunch of ink, though, too, right? A bunch of ink all over them. Oh, yeah. I like the ink. How tall? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Shoes size? Don't care. Okay. Hair? Not important. Okay. Three things. See?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Bucier. ink, belly button. I love this. I love the vision. I see it through. It's wonderful. Dude, I want one of those Russian hats. I can get you one.
Starting point is 00:10:02 You can't have this one after it if you want it. Don't tease me. I'm serious. I swear to God. I swear to God, I can go get another one. Love you. I'm not even sorry. I'm not even a little bit.
Starting point is 00:10:16 What are the best and worst fashion trends right now? Oh, man. Oh, man. I was waiting for this. I'll not going to lie. things I like personally. I don't know if this is the consensus of the entire United States and the world.
Starting point is 00:10:30 I like big pants. You see my pants that I walked in with? Love them. You don't even see the shoes. They're huge. I love letting them drag. I love letting them rip. It's just, it adds a character,
Starting point is 00:10:40 it adds a swag. You know? I love that. Fashion transide. Now, is that okay for a 58-year-old or would I just look stupid? I think you could wear it. I think you can wear anything
Starting point is 00:10:48 as long as you feel comfortable and at any age. I'm going to be 60 wearing probably this exact thing. You know? Right. Might just be like, not this exact one, but a new one. And then something that I dislike a little in fashion. I don't want to say anything specific.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I mean, there's certain things that I'm like, eh, about. Wait, wait, wait, right. You can hurt people's feelings. Yeah, can't hurt the clothes feelings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me what you don't like. Okay. I don't like skinny jeans.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Sometimes if I wear a pair of pants that's too skinny, I need my balls to breathe. They can't breathe. It gets sweaty. I'm walking out. My thigh. are chafing. I don't like that. You know, throw away all my skinny jeans, please.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I mean, maybe it works for you. Maybe you get them tailored to be bigger in a certain area that you might need. I just let the crotch out and I'm cool. Yeah, see, I can't do that. What motivated you to go from modeling to casting for major brands like Adidas and Nike? Since I was young, I've just always been trying to find the thing that works for me. and you know a lot of people like musicians they might be like i was 14 i knew i was going to make music i knew i was going to do this and that i was lost up until a couple years ago you know so i'm
Starting point is 00:12:03 trying everything i'm looking online how to make a million dollars how to be famous how to do this how to do that and i'm just watching as much content as i can consume where i'm like you know what i want to be a model i start learning how to model i watch videos i ask people that i know i get into that world and I'm like, okay, is this something that I really want to do? I want to learn how to act. I went to like a community college. I took the acting class and I was like, okay, this is like what this is like. I did journalism in community college. I did like fashion pattern making. I was like everywhere. You know, I started casting and I just had my hand in 20 different buckets until I realized this is who I am. This is what I'm good at. This is what my legacy is going to be in the world.
Starting point is 00:12:46 How old do you? 24. Do you know what I love about that? What? Seriously. my son's like that too. He loves to learn something and he goes on YouTube and he learns it all. He becomes an expert on anything he wants to know. Like he went ahead and did a
Starting point is 00:13:05 Rubik's Cube. He just picked one up. A month later he's doing it in 17 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 27. Whatever, 17, 27. I don't even remember. But, and the reason I like it so much is because it's really, if you think about it, making college obsolete. YouTube is a new university.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I'm going to say that. I dropped out of college. And when I was no longer in college, I'm like, okay, what am I going to do? Like, in college, you have to go learn one thing. This is your class. Go learn math that I'm never going to use. Go learn science that I'm never going to use.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Right. But I want to learn how to be a better interviewer, how to edit videos. So I'm just going to sit down. Be financially literate. Exactly. you can watch YouTube videos on any topic that you want to know if you're not going to get that that education in school yeah and you're going to go pay $30,000 a year for what and that is the
Starting point is 00:13:58 most important thing you can learn yeah is financial literacy I've been learning that as a recently my mom is a banker and she's like hey do you know what you're doing with your money you're making money where is it going you have to put this and this and this LLC stocks everywhere you know spread it out listen to your mother oh I am I am like as a recently I've been learning my mom has always been right. What does she do at the bank? She helps. What's her position?
Starting point is 00:14:26 I don't know the exact name, but when people have their parents, unfortunately, pass away, she helps with the will money transfer. Listen to me. Your mother has forgotten more than you will ever know about this. She has what?
Starting point is 00:14:43 She will have forgotten more. Yes. She knows so much. about this. Yes. That even if you studied this for weeks, she would have forgotten more shit than you learned. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Okay, that's her job. She's got probably the toughest job at the bank. Yeah. Okay, and she looks at what works and what doesn't. Okay, yeah, you got to listen to your mother. Oh, yeah, I do. I do. Call your mother.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I am. I can't wait to be a parent, and just really see, like, the things I did to my mom sometimes, she's like, you, like, didn't listen to me. Like, why? And now I'm like, oh, I should have listened. And I'm going to be a parent one day, and I'm going to tell my kid, why didn't you listen to me?
Starting point is 00:15:29 I told you this and that. See, that's how you are right now talking about it. My kids are so good that I should really have a DNA test taken to see if they're mine. Why? Because you feel like you're not as good or what? Well, I know my 11-year-old and my 15-year-old are both smarter than me, buy a lot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:50 If they ask me to help them with their homework, I look at it. I mean, in third grade, my kid looked at me and said, hey,
Starting point is 00:15:59 can you help you with this? And I looked at it and for the life of me, he's like, Bib, I don't know any of this stuff. Not any of it. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:07 my little brother, he's in high school and he was like asking me something about a math question. And I'm like, like, I don't know what any of this is. I hate math.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Same thing. and I feel like I was just in high school not too long ago. Yeah, so let's talk about that. Let's talk about it. How many people died of in your high school? And this is four years ago, five, six years ago. So that's before f***re was even a real thing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I knew of one person who was a friend of mine that passed away, but he was in the same city we would hang out, but he was just in a different high school than me. Okay. And how old was he when he died? Like 18, 19. Yeah. Did you know his parents?
Starting point is 00:16:52 I would talk to his mom, like, see her, but I didn't know them, like, personally, you know? Have you ever run into them or heard anything about it after they buried their kid? No, I was at the funeral, but since then I left the city I grew up in. Right. Yeah, that family's finished. Yeah. That family is completely finished. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I can see, I saw it, like, in person, and it's just... It's scary. It's a scary world we live in now, like really diving deep into it. And knowing friends that still do drugs, sometimes knowing that it's in there. And I'm like, why? Oh, there's a million reasons why. You don't have to get into that. Yeah. Were you doing drugs in high school?
Starting point is 00:17:35 Not in high school. In high school, I was a pretty good student. I was like class president every year. I was like yearbook editor. I was in like hella clubs, president of a lot of clubs and stuff. got out of high school, made new friends, and then, you know, dabbled in some things here and there. Tell me about it.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I have friends that I would hang out with at that time, too, that they're like, oh my God, how are you doing this? How are you doing this? How are you doing this? And I'm like, by stopping living another life that I was living and pushing through and being healthy, going to the gym, staying sober, listening to my body what my body needs. But, you know, self-love. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:15 So I'll get into that. I came out of high school and I would never drink, smoke, nothing in high school. I was just normal kid going to school, getting good grades, stopping. And then I graduated high school, and that's when COVID was really deep, you know, so it's really, there's nothing to do. So I would just hang out with my friends. We play Switch, you play video games, and they were heavy into, you know, pills, drinking, smoking, this and that. So I started picking up smoking for a couple years, trying some of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Smoking wet. Okay. trying some of the stuff that they were trying. And then I got to a point where I kind of realized, like, I'm waking up, I'm smoking every day, maybe like taking a shot or two. And I'm like, bro, this is like not what I want to be doing. You know, I had friends that I met over the internet that I grew up with that started to surpass me in certain creative fields that I was still like making YouTube videos,
Starting point is 00:19:09 posting TikToks, posting Instagram videos during this time, you know, and it just made me feel like I wasn't fully my. myself on camera, you know, and I want to be fully in control when I'm interviewing someone, when I'm talking to somebody and just knowing that I'm in my mode. And I wouldn't feel in my mode if I would take a drink and just be, I remember I would go out to do interviews and I'd go, I have to be drunk to interview, you know? Right. Then I realized like, wait, no, I don't. Like, I interview way better when I'm sober and when I know what's going on. So slowly, slowly, slowly, I started getting sober and that's when I looked into what I really want to
Starting point is 00:19:46 with my content. And when I was sober, I want to say like six months, you know, going to the gym every day, meditating, really finding what was going on, is when everything changed for me, you know, from one month to the next. It's like I had maybe 2,000 followers posting one to two videos a day, getting a couple hundred views to the next month. I grew 100,000 followers. And I really, I really, you get 100,000 followers.
Starting point is 00:20:12 You got 100,000 followers in a month? Yeah, it was in 2023. doing the interviews yeah but and at that time that's when I was really so focused and locked in I'm like I'm gonna post three to four interviews a day with people I find on the street I'd wake up and I'd just tell my my friend girl I'm like yo we're gonna go to the beach interview people we're going to Beverly Hills today we're going to downtown and it's a big thing too is finding a group of people that believe in your vision because I had friends sometimes I'm like yo let's go film let's do this let's make some content and they're like again whatever this and that
Starting point is 00:20:46 but I found a good group of people who were very similar to me in that aspect, that they make videos, they understand, like, let's say I'm out of restaurant, I see somebody with a cool fit at the next table, and I'm like, yo, I want to go do a video. With a certain group of people, they'd be like, bro, like, that's embarrassing. Why are you going to get up and go talk to a stranger about his outfit, you know? But I just see it as, this is my job. Go talk to someone.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Hey, I like your outfit. If they don't want to do it, they don't want to do it. I move on to the next day, you know? We had a guy here that did that, didn't we? He'd go and you do skits. on the street, didn't we, Dylan? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:20 Gerald Houston, maybe his name was. Gerald's Houston? He's a guy with a raybans that goes up to win and he like it. Yes. Oh my God. I love his video.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I saw he did one with, he was like, hey, yo, DDG, DDG, and it was, well, what's his face?
Starting point is 00:21:34 The Food Reviewer guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just think his videos are funny. You love that. Yeah, yeah. You just got kid happy.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yeah. I haven't been kid happy since I was a kid. It's like you just did, like that. I feel like those are some videos that come on my timeline that I never talked to somebody about. I don't got friends.
Starting point is 00:21:48 They're like, hey, you've seen his new video? So you guys sing and I'm like, oh my God, I've seen those before. That's so cool. Yeah. I still have that kid like energy. Hey, will you do me a favor before we leave? Yeah. Will you follow Dylan?

I got to know where I'm coming. I saw an article that talked about how you were an addict for so long. You opened the rehabilitation center in Malibu.
Starting point is 00:23:04 You know, I did my research. I know what it is. Nice. I feel that way too as well. but, you know, not as heavy as how your life went down as well. But, you know, I went like three to four years every day, smoking, drinking, trying different things that I look back and I'm like, where did those years go?

Starting point is 00:24:36 Kind of like Like if somebody gave me a tag tattoo, I'd cry like a little... Do you have any tattoos? No. No. I'm scared. I got a back tattoo.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I was crying. Like, if you ask my tattoo artist, he's going to be like, Jared was a little... Right. Cry. But you don't bring, like, girls with you to do that. No. No way. And you come, and you won't even bring the boys.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I go, oh, yeah. Yes. And even he was... I was like, yo, can you stop? He's like, I'm not going to stop. We've taken 15 breaks within the past 10 minutes. I'm going to finish. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:08 And then he put my head down. He just started tattooing. I'm like, okay, I'm a... Dude, if I was going to get a tattoo, I would call somebody to knock me out. Yes. Like, literally should have done that. Like I was having surgery.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Should have done that. I'd be like, no, I don't do the pain thing. Yeah, no, I can't either. Bumbed on the pain thing. Man. What's on your mind, man? It's on my mind? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Oh, let's do this. Oh, yes. Let's do our new segment. Oh, what's the new segment? The new segment is... What do you call it? So, class. Okay, we call it the soapbox.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yes. We're going to call it something totally different. Okay. Okay, later on, because I hate that name. But it's, you sit there and you can vent for as long as you need to, a minute or two, whatever, 30 seconds, I don't care about anything that is currently pissing you off or annoying you. Oh. See, like, you're older. So I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You're going to be like, dude, you have so much time. And like, I get it. Right. But I've been working so much towards a lot of new aspirations, new things that I want to do in life. And I feel like I need so much more time in the day. I'll wake up, get to work, go to sleep, going to work. And then I'm like, dude, where's the time going? I'm not done with this thing.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I'm not done with this thing. I'm not done with this thing. And it's just like a million things on my plate. And I think the thing with me is I don't know how to situate my time correctly and schedule. Then I'm on one project. And I'm like, okay, I'm tired of this. Let me hop on to the next project. I'm doing. How about the next project I'm doing?
Starting point is 00:26:42 Then it's the end of the day. And I'm like, oh, I still didn't finish the first project. Then I'll wake up the next day and keep it going. So I wish I had more time or learn how to scheduleate my time better. It's not a word, but I know that. It's not a word. It's not a word. Yes. Do you have any advice for me? I do. Yes. That's called time management. Okay. And along with financial literacy, it's probably those are the two things that are the most important. How did you learn time management?
Starting point is 00:27:10 in your best way. Man, I think what I did was in college when I was at UCLA. Yeah. I went ahead and I was broke. I was so poor. You know, I just flat broke. Like nothing. So I listened to Anthony Roberts.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I bought his 30-day program. And I think that's how I learned. time management. And if it wasn't that, it was something he recommended that I read and I read that and got time management. But those self-help books when I was, like now they wouldn't land. Why? Because I've reached a point in my life where I've already done all those things and
Starting point is 00:28:00 they're already habituated in the way I live my life. So they wouldn't lie with you, but with somebody new coming to them, they would land. For you? Yes. It'd be the greatest thing in the world for you. Someone in my age, someone in my realm. No, I'm talking about it. Just for you.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yeah. For you and, well, really, anybody starting out that doesn't have a clear direction and has a failure to launch, right? So a failure to launch would be a kid who's 40 still living in his mother's basement, playing video games and screaming, hey, mom, can you make me a sandwich? Right. It's so good. Right? Like, right? Okay, that's a failure to launch.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Yeah. So time management's important and the way I would do it is it would wake up and do your morning routine and move your body, the meditation, the whatever it is that you have in the morning, right? Then I'd wake up, shower and start my day. And, you know, it sounds to me like you've got three or four different things going on. Yeah. Right. So what you do is you have blocks of time and you go, okay, from 10 to one, I'm interviewing people. And then I'm going to go grab a bite to eat. I'm going to come back. And then from three to five, I'm cutting this up. And then from six to seven, I'm posting and doing all my stuff and asking my friends to post and all that nonsense. Right. And whatever this is, You block in the time for it and you add 20 minutes for any one of these major things that you're doing. So that way you don't put pressure on yourself.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And then you know, and you make a list. You put it in your calendar, right? And then you know what you do. What do you do? What do I do? You cross it off the list. Oh, yeah. It's my favorite thing to do ever.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I love coming and talking to people who are very experienced, especially with human interactions like yourself. I know you've probably come across thousands of people. opening up your spot out here in Malibu. Because I feel like I'm such a baby still when it just comes to this entire new life and maneuvering and creativity and money and friends and family. Because my family all grew up in like
Starting point is 00:30:21 the middle of nowhere in Mexico on a little tiny brick house, you know? So coming here, that's why I like to ask things like that. I know that you've seen people who are, have had everything, go down, come back up, go back down, come back up to you. So I like taking other people's life experiences and see how I can use it, how other people can use it and just help me and my friends, my buddies, my family,
Starting point is 00:30:44 my little brother, my mom, my dad, in a way like that. Do you want children? I do, but not yet. I feel, I'm still a child. But I know people my age that have children. Wait, wait, wait, why am I not ready? Well, why? Because you're a kid.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah. Okay? You're not fully established. Uh-huh. Okay. You want to make certain that you have. have your ducks in a robe. Yeah, you have kid now.
Starting point is 00:31:11 It's never going to be people think kids cost you money. They make you money. Okay, trust me on this one. So you are going to have children at some point. Yeah. And when you talked about the brick house. Yes. Right?
Starting point is 00:31:25 I'm thinking, well, at least it's not straw or wood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? And because I used to tell my kids the story before they went to bed about the three little pigs, right? But I put a little twist on it, right? Do you want to hear it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:43 So you can tell your kid? We're ready, yes. Okay. Daddy, what you tell me this story? You know, it's like three little pigs? Course, baby. So once upon a time, there were three little pigs. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:57 There was the baby brother pig, the middle pig, and the older pig, the oldest pig. And one day, open the door, or I'm going to huff and puff and puff and blow your house down. And this little piggy was like afraid because that was the big bad wolf. And so he goes, wait one minute.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And then he runs out the back door of the house. And just as he runs out the black door, the wolf huffs and puffs and blows the house down. But he runs next door to the Middle Brothers house, the Middle Brothers house made out of wood. Or here, here, you're here. Don't worry about it. This is the big bad wolf.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Open the door. I'm going to puff and I'm going to puff and I'm going to puff and I'm going to blow your house down. Just wait one minute. And they run out the back door to the Big Brother's house. And just as they do that, the wolf huffs and puffs blows the house to smithereaves. But they go next door to their Big Brother's house. And their Big Brother has this big, huge, 12,000 square foot, Rick, gorgeous Georgian colonial.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Uh-huh. right? I mean, it's breathtaking and they go next door and they're and they don't see their older brother and the door knocks and it's the big bad wolf
Starting point is 00:33:28 and the older brother comes down in his smoking robe and he's smoking a cigar does he have that watch on too? He's got the watch oh okay and he looks at and his younger brothers are like, don't answer the door It's a bit bad wolf.
Starting point is 00:33:46 And so he's like, yeah, whatever. And he walks over and he slides that thing over with the little thing so he can see who's there. And he goes, open this door or I'm going to huff and puff and blow your house down. And the pig looks at him, blows smoke through the thing, and he goes, do what you want. And he closes the door and the wolf is out of his mind and he's huffing and he's puffing and he's losing his mind. But what the big brother did was when he closed it, he looks at his two little brothers and he grabs a baseball bat and he says, I'll be right back. Don't open the door. And he goes around the property and as this guy's puffing and puffing, he goes around and he comes up behind him
Starting point is 00:34:34 and he just beats the out of this guy. Uh-huh. Just kicks his, grabs him by his hair and tosses him in the garbage. And then what? And he looks at him and he says, don't come back here again. And that's the story of the three little pigs. I hear the story or great storyteller. What was that supposed to teach me about the big brother and the younger brothers? What?
Starting point is 00:34:56 What would I take away from that story about the big brother helping out his younger brothers beating the shit out of a big, bad wolf? Nothing. I just didn't remember the story. I'd tell my kids something. I feel like my dad was telling me a bedtime story. That's right.
Starting point is 00:35:13 That's what I was doing. You're a great story. I felt like you should be a good story. an actor. When you went, it's the big bad wolf. I envisioned the cop in a movie just like knocking on the door. Like, get out of here. Was he in a wolf costume? No, he wasn't. I imagine you do with the hat and like the little, doesn't go, you feel? Doesn't go. Hey, how do you think I would do with modeling and fashion? I think you would do great. You're great at talking. You got a nice little spiffy shirt on. Nobody wants to hear from a model talk. That's the whole idea. The models
Starting point is 00:35:42 don't know how to talk. So they keep their mouths shut and they do Like this. I just saw Zulanda the other day, and I just, have you ever seen the movie? Never. It's like making fun of the fashion industry and the over-exaggerer. I forgot the main actor's name is Ben Stiller. They always haven't making this face. He's like, like looking at the camera.
Starting point is 00:36:01 But I feel like I'm more so. I love going out talking to people doing interviews. I think you would kill that. Go out on the block with a mic. Y'all take the cameras. Speak to people. You'd do great. Dude.
Starting point is 00:36:13 I could see you in a Georgia Ormani at. In a Georgia Ormanian. yet? Yeah. Don't they usually have younger, cool-looking people? Maybe it's like more of like a musk scent off on their, their new cologne and you're there in the water. Dude, I could model the dad jeans and have them up to here, right? And have the flood thing going on. I think that would be badass. Yeah. Oh, I want to style you. That I'm agreeing that back. Oh, dude, you feel like you could. You should come back anytime you want and style me up. With the vision that you have for I think you could do it.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, if I ever lose all my money, I'll do that. Okay. Baby, what? You don't got to do it for the money. You got to do for the love of it.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Oh, no, no. I wouldn't want that. Okay. Do you do what you do for love of it or for the money? Like podcasting, this, that? I do the podcasting because all the kids are dying of... And that's why I grabbed a lot of kids in the underground rap scene. It was hurting them the most.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And so I wanted to do. to stop that right away. And, you know, they don't want to hear from me, but when they hear from Famous Dex or Little Zan or Warhol or somebody like that to like, yeah, this is stupid, you know? So that is just an idea I had. This isn't monetized. We don't have any sponsors or any nonsense like that.
Starting point is 00:37:38 We only have 20,000 people, an episode listening to this now. But we've been open for five months plus. I like how you say only, because I know you have the vision to like millions. Dude, I'm so pissed off. I mean, I know I'm nobody, but I like do this and I'm like pissed. I'm like, why don't I have a million people listening to this? The thing is, it's great content.
Starting point is 00:37:58 It just takes time. Like, when I was making. I want it now. Like, I was making videos at one point and I'm like, this is so good. Why is nobody watching? And then you just keep making them. And then one day they come, you know? I'm like, you know this?
Starting point is 00:38:11 You know two years down the line you're going to be big dog up on there. Hey, I'm trying to get on Richard's podcast. I was trying to know. But you want it was funny. I was about three weeks ago I was walking on Main Street. Yeah. And three kids with facial tattoos and all the ice and all the ink and the baggy pants and everything, they recognized me and they took selfies with me.
Starting point is 00:38:34 That's awesome. Is that the demographic you're trying to reach? I'm trying to reach any kid. I'm trying to reach all the kids. Yeah. Because the kids are the ones dying. Because here's the thing. Everybody had a right.
Starting point is 00:38:46 to experiment with drugs and alcohol when I was kid. Yeah. You guys don't have that anymore. Yeah. Because we're out of time. Okay? We are out of time. You do one bump of something and you're dead. Yeah. 70% of these things have f***-a-it and 42%
Starting point is 00:39:03 of them have legal lethal doses. Yeah. That's a big reason why I'm I thought I need to become sober. I need to tell my friends or get away from, tell my friends, try to help them. You know, a lot of times people don't listen and just move on because you can't integrate into somebody's brain,
Starting point is 00:39:21 but I know I have friends that I used to hang out with, let's say 2019, we were doing this and that. They're going to watch this and personally be like, okay, like this might be another wake-up sign. I'm watching Jared. He's done so much in his life while I've still been here, that hopefully it reaches them at some point in some way. That is so nice.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I wish I would have heard it because the only thing I was thinking about was platform shoes. Do we have platform shoes now? Oh, those are sick. Wait, what did you think I was going to do? You're like... No, no, those are sick. Yeah, I knew rock. Those...
Starting point is 00:39:52 Oh, God. That's what people wear. Does it really? Yes. Oh, God. See, I am a fashionista. Yeah. Yeah, if you go through my pages,
