#56 | Zay and Dru

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's going on, y'all? Corpus Christi Originals back at it again. Coming to you live from the PRODUCE Stream Lab Studios, Corpus Christi, Texas. Yeah. Here we got today, Zay and Dru. Zay of Zay's Dulces and Dru of Candy Andy. What's going on, fellas? Yeah. [00:00:14] Speaker B: Welcome to the show. [00:00:15] Speaker A: So how'd y'all feel when I invited y'all on the show or when we got it together? [00:00:20] Speaker B: I mean, I was just. I was surprised. Like, Shoot my shot. [00:00:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Told Dru. Hey, we free on the 30th? He's like, we're about to be. [00:00:27] Speaker C: So we were excited. You know, we love to try to do as much different advertisement as we can. So just whenever he told me about it, it was real exciting feeling. And then we told our other partner, G, about it. So we were all hyped up to be here today. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what's up, man. That's cool. It makes me think you all have a business mindset already. And obviously, y'all have been other places promoting it. [00:00:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:00:50] Speaker A: And I've seen it a lot on instagram already. Cause that's where I'm at primarily. [00:00:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:54] Speaker A: So, I mean, how do you find yourself continuing to market that year? So this is a new drop. Right, right. The "Trap Jooze". What we are doing before that. So you do. Well, you have products already, and you have products already. How do you find yourself marketing those products as opposed to this one? [00:01:12] Speaker C: So really everything just kind of, like, combines in together. As far as, like, me and my business partner, G, we own Andy Eats as well. So the "Trap Jooze" is, like, one of the drinks that we sell on there. A lot of the customers that have been getting it have been liking it, so they kind of come to us. Hey, y'all got the "Trap Jooze". So it's kind of definitely a good cross promo to bring in that as far as, like, an item that people could drink and then just such as, like, Candy Andy, these drinks, they're limited, so you can't just find them in any store. We're trying to get them into select stores. You know, that's the main key thing is try to keep it exclusive as possible, but make it to people's advantage to where they could grab them. [00:01:56] Speaker A: Right on, right on. And to be honest, I heard about there was another guy in town doing it, but I can't remember his name. But you all doing him as well. But he's like, more of street dude. [00:02:04] Speaker B: It was a schizo. [00:02:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that guy. [00:02:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:07] Speaker A: And then I seen y'all some, like, what is this stuff? Cuz I'm. Dude, I live under a rock, bro. I really don't know what's going on in the. Nothing like that. So this is all new to me, man. And when I see that, I'm like. It seems like it's like. It reminds me of, like, making Kool Aid back in the day, putting a bunch of sugar in there. Is that what this is? [00:02:24] Speaker B: Basically the same ingredients, but basically, it's just like, what I've learned, because, like, I love cooking. I love cooking, making snacks. That's why the candy came out of it. The drinks kind of came out on accident because I know everybody's, like, heard, like, exotic pop and stuff like that. So I used to partner with them. I used to sell for them, be a vendor with them, go to the warehouse, and we used to hang out and just do a lot of events together. But I've been wanting. I always wanted to do the drinks because with them, they always sold sodas. And the thing is, like, what I've learned is, like, a lot of parents want to pay for kids that have sodas. Like, you know, hey, I. Water, juice or whatever. So what I did was like, you know what? Let me buy a case from them. They're always selling out. And then I. Yeah, man, everybody's wants to buy them. So what I did was like, well, then I'm just gonna make it myself. And then it kind of went from there. I did 30 bottles one day, sold down, like, 30 minutes, and it was, like, my first event. I said, damn. Okay, a good turnout. So then. But this was, like, three years ago. This is when I lived in Houston. When I came over here, I met Drew, and I kind of, like, I introduced the candy to him was, hey, bro, I got this candy. He's like, yeah, we'll sell at the shop. And then, hey, I know this idea about these drinks, like I used to do. Let's bring it out. He's like, yeah, let's make some. Let's test it out. So I was. I got you. He was. He had just opened up the food. [00:03:31] Speaker C: Truck, and he brought a sample, like, a couple of them. And, you know, me and G and the other couple people that were on the trailer tried him out, and Andy, like, just, you know, I'm not even trying to just hype it up, but just from trying it, I was just, like, mind blown. Like, I was like, man, dude, this juice needs to be out there. Like, you know, it could be labeled, you know, with the with a tight, definitely, like a cool, outstanding label that just attracts people and just brings people more to the brand and stuff. So, you know, I got with g about everything, and, you know, me and him were both interested in partnering up with Zay and, you know, making this thing kind of go further than what it is. And we're just getting started. There's only been, like, a month of production with all three of us, so there's definitely more that's going to be happening, especially for the summertime. And from here on out, this is just like our. Our beginning stage. I say level one of trying to level up, but we definitely got a lot of work and a lot of structure to do as far as trying to get the brand and the business out there. [00:04:27] Speaker A: That's cool, man. Jay Bustos French on Facebook. Francisco on YouTube. What's going on? Hell seeing on twitch. Appreciate y'all, man. Wow, that's awesome. So you just started the food truck? [00:04:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:04:38] Speaker C: So, uh, the way we started that, um, I've been knowing g for a couple months already, probably, uh, last year, 2023, I'd say. And I kind of brought it to his attention about partying up and just trying to do something together. G. G. Yeah. So I kind of just, you know, approached him with, you know, I had this idea, and he was all for it, you know, kind of believed in what I wanted to do, and, you know, we attacked it together, and, you know, he was like, bro, I'm gonna get this thing done in less than two weeks. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Three weeks. [00:05:14] Speaker C: I think we had it done within less than three, I want to say. We were up and running, got all the permits and stuff. There was some little hiccups of certain things needed to be fixed, but we were able to do everything, and within the fourth week, we were able to open. And I think we've been running it pretty good for about two months already. About a month and a half, I want to say. So definitely been doing a lot of events. Food truck festival. We had the art walk. This would be our second time this coming Friday at the art walk downtown. So we just been trying to just stay active. We partnered up with the smoke shop, too, so we got a smoke shop, smoke city. He's also my business partner on that. And then candy and. [00:05:53] Speaker A: Nice, man. That's awesome. And you're. For you. [00:05:55] Speaker B: You went to moody? [00:05:56] Speaker C: No, no, no. I actually actually went to RMA. Oh, yeah, I didn't. I didn't even go to regular high school, so went to RMA all four years, and, you know, I do music, too, so I'm kind of just in the music scene, and I haven't really done nothing lately, but I do plan on, you know, coming back out and dropping some more music and stuff, so definitely something that's gonna, you know, help out with the. With the juice. So whenever we do shows, do pop up events, they actually have a big pop up event coming up. [00:06:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:27] Speaker B: When is it? May 11. That was a. It's kind of like an accident, really. I I try to, like, set it up, but, um, I know everybody knows that mexican ot, right? [00:06:37] Speaker A: Right. [00:06:37] Speaker B: I mean, he's blown. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:06:38] Speaker B: But I've been friends with him for a while. Like, it ain't like a fan type of things. Like, we started in Houston scale, like, when he first won his first contest, I was there as, like, a fan. I was trying to know everybody, and. And it kind of grew because I was interested in him, because it was a different guy. And ever since then, I got connected with his managers and stuff like that. And today, I was like, man, I'm gonna shoot my shot, too. I called the manager. Hey, bros, like, I know y'all need vendors. I was like, we don't really have a good setup. I was like, shit, we just got a tablecloth and a sign. I think we could post operating a cooler, bring probably, like, a hundred bottles out there, just trying to sell out and just have a good time. And he's like, yeah. He's like, you with CJ, which is one of his. One of his people on his team. I texted him, shot him, show him back in, like, 30 minutes. And, yeah, bro is like, come on the tents. Come sign the contract, and then come post up. And I was like, oh, shit. I was like, all right, I guess we're gonna be at the concert, so. [00:07:28] Speaker A: And that's here in town. Where's it at? It's in Bay City, basically. [00:07:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Cuz. Cuz he's. He's blowing up, too, so he's showing love back to his people, so it's a matter. Gorda fairgrounds, like, in Bay City. Okay, so he's gonna have, like, a rodeo and stuff. Like, I already even seen, like, we were just gonna go to, like, go to the show and just have a good time. But I was. Man, you know what? They're doing a vendor spot, and I already do stuff with them. I've hosted shows with them. I've been from the beginning. Before he was Johnny Dane holding a chicken. Like, I've seen that from the beginning. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Wow. [00:07:55] Speaker B: And him as a person, he's a very good person. And so I was like, you know, he's be the good artist, not even to promote this, but he does love, like, the blue drinks we got. But if I just. We just, like, show love to him. They reciprocate all the time. Just show love. Because they came in town for a Brewster. I think it was a few months ago. I mean, I was there with them, too. We had a good time, and. Okay, so next time, we'll see what we can do. [00:08:16] Speaker A: Yeah, so, man. Dude, was it at my. Right here. Here you show Tom. Yeah, so, wow, dude, so you. So you had that show to go and show it. That's the trap juice, y'all. [00:08:30] Speaker B: This was the blue raspberry lemonade. This is gonna be the new one that we dropped. That's kind of crazy. [00:08:35] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. I saw that trap syrup. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Nice. [00:08:39] Speaker C: The Texas. Texas tea. [00:08:40] Speaker A: Texas tea, baby. [00:08:42] Speaker B: Come on. [00:08:42] Speaker C: That's what we gotta call it. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what's up, dude. Wow. So you had that connection. You just like, man, dude, that's crazy, because you couldn't. You couldn't have said nothing at all and just went to the show. [00:08:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but honestly, if we would went to the show either way, I would have brought, like, same thing, four bottles, some candy, and it would have been straight. That would have showed love to them. But I was, you know what? I'll still do that, but this just helps us spread the name and, you know, make some money already. You know, that's just helps us out. But either way, we're just have a good time. [00:09:10] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. [00:09:11] Speaker B: This type of job that I've learned me doing as myself with the candy and everything, it opened doors to meeting people. I met artists. I've worked with dope house. I worked with a lot of people, and they've always showed love, and that's all it is. Like, a lot of people see it on social media and, like, mainstream stuff, and. And there's. There's always rumors and talk about a lot of stuff that goes on. But I was there. I've been there. I've talked to managers. I know, like, Andy Yola from dope House. Like, they're real good people. I've never had any problems with anybody. We always just clicked because we're just good people. [00:09:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So you purposefully put yourself in that circle. [00:09:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:44] Speaker A: And so were you making candy at the time? [00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah, that's all. I was solely doing that because, like, of course, when I started this business, it was in 2020, it was mid COVID and I was working at T Mobile, and yeah, I make decent money. They're like, you're selling, of course, anything it sells, you may decent money, right? So me talking to people was our natural. That's easy. But when it came to the candy, I saw on tick tock, it was blowing up. Everyone's making these gushers and stuff and packaging them are. This was in 2020. But I was like, man, there's no way that they're just buying simple chamoy and tahini from the store and, like, making candy. It's not always gonna be that good. So anytime I see something like that, I'm like, you know, I'm gonna make it myself. I'm gonna throw my little spin on it. So what I did was I took like a couple weeks. I'll buy little ingredients, I'll make little batches here and there, take it to work. And then one. One of my employees are like, co workers. He's a white dude. You don't like any of that? He tried it. He goes, dude, this shit's good. So all I did was I throw my spin on it, and he's like, bro, I would buy this if you sold it. I was like, stop playing. [00:10:41] Speaker A: So it was. [00:10:42] Speaker B: I bought the packaging about like a hundred bags. [00:10:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:44] Speaker B: And flipped them for like $10 a bag. And that was history. [00:10:48] Speaker A: These dulces. All right, in the house candy. And he's also in the house, too. Bro, I went to your spot first time. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yesterday. [00:10:55] Speaker A: It's been there forever. Like I said, I live under a rock, bro. I just go from my house to work, go back. That's it. I don't talk to nobody. This. So this podcast, what I'm doing is pretty cool. [00:11:03] Speaker B: I get to figure out who everybody's who everybody's doing. [00:11:06] Speaker A: So, dude, my wife got the drippy. [00:11:10] Speaker C: Was it dripping drizzle? [00:11:11] Speaker A: Drippy drizzle. [00:11:12] Speaker C: And then I got fruit by the foot. Which moy tahini, gummy bears, gummy worms, sausage. One of the top, top three, I think I'd say top three items that we got. [00:11:22] Speaker A: What I wanted to say, bro, I asked for a taste, cuz my wife got it. I was like, let me taste that. The pickle with the wrap on around it, right? And I tasted it and I was like, man, I told her, I was like, dude, this took me back to freaking grandma's house in La Cuade. [00:11:36] Speaker B: For real? [00:11:37] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, dude. [00:11:38] Speaker A: I was like, damn, this is a straight up hood hood candy, bro. [00:11:42] Speaker B: Yeah, that's awesome. [00:11:43] Speaker C: Definitely. [00:11:44] Speaker A: And you're the owner or the previous owner just passed away? [00:11:48] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, my dad. [00:11:49] Speaker A: Oh, that's your dad? [00:11:50] Speaker B: Oh, dude. [00:11:50] Speaker A: Sorry to hear that. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Yeah, we were actually started up all the businesses about six years ago. We started up in the Corpus Christi trade center. Um, so back whenever I was eleven, I went by baby boy, did music, started up like a little clothing line with baby boy. I was going to like, skating rinks. We were selling out on merch bracelets, keychains, t shirts, towels, pillows. So my dad wanted to open up something in the trade center. As I got older, we, as I got older, he threw the idea of, like, man, we should order some. Some pieces. Like, I think I was like 18 or 19. Whenever he said pieces, he meant like, glass pieces, like, you know, tobacco pipes. And so I was like, man, that ain't gonna sell. And, you know, I think we started with just something small, and then we ended up expanding. Then we took the back where I jazz is actually, and we ended up, like, having like seven or eight different counters with the walls, like, you know, with different things on them. So then we went from having that to having another one than it took me. I was working a normal job at the time. So I told him, I said, man, I want to open up a spot. And that's the spot right next to Candy Andy. So that was six years ago. We opened up that, and then about three years into that, we ended up getting Candy Andy. Candy Andy's been around for about two years. I want to say in December it'll be three. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Oh, man, that's awesome. [00:13:17] Speaker C: Yes, sir. [00:13:18] Speaker A: That's cool. So what's some of the things you learned from your dad? [00:13:21] Speaker C: Just business taught me a lot, you know, basically everything I know. I'm 26 years old, we had two smoke shops, candy Andy, and just kind of understanding the fundamentals of everything on how a business is supposed to, I wouldn't say really properly run, because there are some things that I still don't know and I'm still learning to this day. And if somebody has anything to try to, like, teach me, I take in everything. I don't try to, like, disclose your, like, any. Any type of information or anything. I want to learn as much as possible to help me be a better me at the end of the day. [00:13:55] Speaker A: That's awesome, man. Yeah. When I used to, like, research people, like, online and stuff, I'll read the Wikipedia article and they would mention their parents. [00:14:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:03] Speaker A: And I'm like, why do they do that? I'm trying to learn about this guy. But no, you have to look at. [00:14:07] Speaker B: The parents to figure out and see. [00:14:10] Speaker C: Like, my dad, his dad didn't have a smoke shop, like, or my grandma didn't have a smoke shop. My grandma was working at a nursing home, and my dad's dad passed away whenever he was younger. So really it just came between me and him. Like, just, you know, hey, I think we should do this. And, you know, one thing that a lot of people don't know is I didn't even graduate high school, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, of course it's not something that, you know, I'm proud of or that I like to brag about, but that's, like, one of the things that, you know, my friends trip out on. They're like, dude, like, you're. Look at how successful you are. Like, you know, you're doing all these different things, and, you know, it just kind of took me, like, I didn't want to work at Domino's. I didn't want to work at Taco Bell or, you know, any of these fast food restaurants. All my life. I wanted to better myself, and in order to better myself, I had to figure out a way. [00:15:00] Speaker A: Mm hmm. Yeah, you gotta figure it out, man. Wow, that's amazing to me, man. Cuz, like, people could be in your situation and not have graduated, and they can use it. Excuses, bro. Yeah, we can have excuses, but at. [00:15:11] Speaker C: The end of the day, you gotta figure. Figure shit out is, like, the way I tell people. Like, in order to grow and keep going, you gotta figure something out and figure out a way. That's the only way that you'll end up furthering your life or getting any type of further than where you're at already. [00:15:26] Speaker A: Yeah. And I'm a huge advocate of, actually the father being in the home, too, and your dad was around, too, so I would say that he. He spoke to your. [00:15:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:34] Speaker C: My dad wasn't just my dad. He was my best friend. You know, there was moments where, you know, he had to be my dad, but at the same time, like, our relationship wasn't just like a regular son, son and dad relationship. Like, I was just super close to him. My dad was on dialysis. He had heart problems and stuff. So it. It kind of took a toll on me once everything started, like, knuckling down and stuff, like his health. And, you know, I was doing music, so he was a big, big supporter on my music. Whenever I came out with something, he was right there supporting me whenever I wanted to do. I actually did a song two years ago. With dusty called medication, and my dad was the one that made that happen. You know, booked me the studio session, paid for the video, and, you know, he actually put the money behind me and stuff. So it was definitely a blessing. And, you know, if. If I could learn anything from that, like, if you have, you know, your mom and dad or someone close nearby, you, like, tell them you love them, because tomorrow's not promised. [00:16:31] Speaker A: Right on, man. Yeah. Shout out, dusty, man. This is the studio that I'm using. I'm renting it out for my podcast. You guys got a podcast? You need a studio. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Here it is right here. [00:16:41] Speaker A: Hit him up, man. That's amazing, bro. I really like that. The background story of somebody and figuring out. And then obviously, you're already on the way to what you're doing now with this and then with your music. You're still producing or. [00:16:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I got more music coming out this summer just kind of with music, you got to have a plan. You got to have some type of structure behind your plan. So, to me, I just don't want to come out and just release a song on YouTube. Like, I want to actually have some type of plan behind it. My main focus right now is to try to open up different things and just kind of get them to, you know, kind of grow and, you know, get people in onto it. Like, with the trap juice, me linking up with Zay, I saw, you know, a lot of interest in Zay being motivated into something, and, you know, me and Zay just connected, so I think it was a blessing. [00:17:28] Speaker A: How did y'all meet, anyway? [00:17:32] Speaker B: Oh, kind of. Okay, I'm gonna take it back a little bit. [00:17:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:36] Speaker B: Okay. So I moved here in the end of 22, like, July of 22. So I've been here for almost two years now. I knew about drew only because, like, when I moved out here, the lower car show that's at American bank center, he was performing at it. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [00:17:50] Speaker B: I know who he was. My friends that are my sister, she kind of showed me around a bit, but then she had a friend that turns. It turns out to me, my girlfriend. [00:18:00] Speaker A: You got a good one, bro. She was on episode number five. [00:18:03] Speaker B: Yes. And then I think it's funny, because that situation, we're like. It kind of tied into you, and she sent me that podcast. I sent her a podcast I was on to, or, like, an interview that was on the radio, and she's. Yeah, I was on one, too. So I was watching, and I was. Okay. And so, like, coincidentally, like, I already had followed you on TikTok and Instagram. So I was already knew. And then with Drew, it kind of like, I knew who he was, but at the time, yeah, his dad got sick, and I don't. It's not that I don't want to be around is I knew that he was going through some things. Like, personally, I didn't want to, like, bring him something that didn't, like, wasn't gonna work if he wasn't gonna put his in mind to it. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Wow. [00:18:38] Speaker B: So I gave him time, and I knew that just because, like, I know friends that I've been with or even, like, you lose somebody that you love and that you, like, your best friend with, I don't want to, like, burden you with something else. Like, that's not what I'm trying to do. So I gave, so I slowly stepped in. Hey, I got this candy. Cool. Took it off. And, hey, I got this, too. That's why they got introduced. And then, like, the funny story is, like, my girlfriend did your podcast, and then she actually. And when she was in, like, middle school, he performed at the middle school. So, like, that's why it's a big, like, coincidence of everything, because she would, like, you know, he was baby boy. I'm like, I don't even know who that is. And then that's how we got tied into that, and I told him the story, and then we taught. She told the story, and I was like, well, corvus is small, so I guess everybody knows somebody, and that's why I like. But honestly, she supports a lot, like, what we do. Like, we need to go. We're out late some nights because we're at the food truck or something, and she really does help out a lot. Like, you're not. She wanted to come, but her job, she was really works. Really good job. She's a social worker, so she's always. [00:19:36] Speaker A: Did get a job in that. That's cool. [00:19:37] Speaker B: She actually worked at Driscoll. She finally got licensed. Like, when she did your thing, she was still in school. [00:19:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:42] Speaker B: So she finally finished. She got her masters and everything. [00:19:45] Speaker A: She was telling me all about, like, man, I hope you get a job. And she got a job in there. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Now she honestly put out numbers. Probably make more money than I do some days. [00:19:53] Speaker A: Just go with the children. [00:19:54] Speaker B: Yeah, she's social worker there, man. Then she goes through a lot there. But she's strong for doing that. That's why, like, she does that. And if she wants to come hang out with us, that's on her time. I'm not gonna force her to come out, because some nights we're out to, like, two in the morning, and sometimes it's business, sometimes, like, okay, we're trying to relax, cuz, like, we've been working all week or something. But her, she goes through a lot every day. She's officially has a schedule from eight to 430, and that's what she does. Some days she stays till five, maybe even 530, depending on, like, if something happens or she'll pick up shift. She works 08:00 p.m. To 02:00 a.m. Or short ten to ten. But she's always there. She always helps us out a lot. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Yeah. So what you're. So what you're doing, like, with your candy and all and this stuff, is. [00:20:31] Speaker B: It your side hustle or you got right now? [00:20:35] Speaker C: But we're gonna make it into the. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Main hustle, cuz, like, as much as I love. I love doing this, I love the drinks. My secret or not, my secret is the main thing I love do is cook. I love cooking. I've cooked for drew already, twice. [00:20:44] Speaker A: Oh, you were talking about. I saw your post earlier. [00:20:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Tacos are fire. [00:20:51] Speaker C: The quesadilla was fire last night. [00:20:53] Speaker B: I was stuff. [00:20:54] Speaker C: He was like, man, bro, you gotta try my mom's rice. [00:20:57] Speaker B: No, more like. Like, my mom. My mom's like one of my, like, as much as his dad's very close. Me and my mom are close, okay. She taught me how to cook very young. [00:21:03] Speaker C: Mom's rice is fire, bro. [00:21:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, anytime. Like. Cause my story is like. I mean, I just met my dad when I was 21, so he's from Corpus. And my mom moved me into Houston when I was younger, so I didn't know he was until when I turned 21. I finally asked my mom, like, who's my dad? What does he look like? Yeah, I met him, like, probably, like, a week later, I came to corpus. I was here for a weekend, introduced. And, like, we're completely opposite different people. He's very, you know, group street, you know, dug out. And it's as much as a joke. It's more of, like, that's just how he was raised, and that's. That's fine. I don't judge anybody how they are. But my mom, too, she was a thug, too, back in the day. She got better. But at one point in my life, it was. It was kind of hard because both parents were locked up. So, like, for. From like, 20, like, 2019 to just maybe last year, I had barely got both my parents, and then that's where I was like, okay, now it's like a normal life. So now I'm trying to like better myself and learn from them. Not to be better than them, but just like show them like that little stigma where like, oh, your parents are in your house, like you're gonna do drugs, sell drugs and be a bad life. Like, I never once did that. I graduated high school, I didn't go to school because I felt like if you can create something and make money the way that you love to do, because everybody always says, you, if you love something and you get paid to do it, it's not really a job, you just, just do it. [00:22:15] Speaker A: So you've already had some type of hustle? [00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah, always. Even like in school. Like, honestly, my mom, my mom used to work at a corner store and they never had cameras, so she'll grab some snacks. So what I'll do is I still grab like, you know, the five gum. So they used to have like five different flavors. I'll take like, like three or four flavors of each. One or three packs of each flavor, I'll take it to school and I'll stop selling for like four and then, or like we'll go to Sam's and we'll be like the little, like the snacks and everything, I'll flip them at school. So I'll always, like, mom was always saying, like, I'm not gonna give you money, like for random shit. So I was, alright, cool, I was gonna make more money. So what I would do is I'll go to the store, well, spend like $30. I flip it out every, every day. I spoke like 30, $40 and I just re up like that. That's how I learned. And then as I got older, it's just turn other things. So, man, dude, that's awesome. [00:23:01] Speaker A: It's amazing to me, like, cuz you, cuz I'm in school, I'm not thinking about it, bro. [00:23:06] Speaker B: No, I'm not. [00:23:07] Speaker A: Like, I play guitar, like I just want to get home, play the guitar. That was my thing. But you're thinking about how to make. [00:23:12] Speaker B: Money because the way it was, because I learned from like I had this what is it? I think was a wildlife or something like that. Like you shot bb guns and. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Right. [00:23:19] Speaker B: I went to school, I in like country, so it's like, you know, you were teaching how to shoot a gun. [00:23:24] Speaker A: How to, okay, okay. [00:23:24] Speaker B: Kill a fish and stuff like that. And he would sell snacks and stuff and I was like, man, what if I brought better snacks? He was selling like, you know, regular doritos. I was like, man, if I bring spicy doritos, hot cheetos. So then, like, the teacher was like, that's cool. Like, but you can't sell in, like, in class unless I, like, say it's okay because, like, it can't do right? Teaching. All right, cool. So, like, in the class, last two minutes, I'm like, hey, I got some snacks. I need some. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Boom. I'll make some money real quick, and I'll sell out, and then I'll go back to the store and get some more stuff. [00:23:51] Speaker A: You think Texas will ever abolish us having handguns or guns? [00:23:57] Speaker B: Nah. [00:23:59] Speaker A: Be crazy if it happened, huh? [00:24:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Nah, cuz I have my. Have my license to carry, too. Like, I went through class, like, during COVID That's when I got it. And. But I went through, like I said, I went to, like, I wasn't, like, in a country, little spot of it, but wasn't as very gun crazy. But the way that I see is, like, when I start doing the business, I'm carrying around, like, two, three grand sometimes on me in cash. They don't know that, but, you know, anybody, someone can sleep Robbie, for $20, you never know. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:27] Speaker B: So you just got to be careful what you do. And always, that's always rolled around with at least my brother, like a friend or just somebody that knew, like, if something were to go down, I had some backup or something. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I would think in that, too, like, if I was to do a pop up or something, because I sell, like, merch and stuff like that because I would have to have the money on hand. But I guess they use cash app and all that stuff. [00:24:46] Speaker B: Yeah. So, like, I like, like, I mean, he has a card reader now, too, and it takes his transaction on the truck. And I used to have, like, the square reader, the card reader. [00:24:56] Speaker C: I have a card reader, and then we have cash app, of course, too. So a lot of people nowadays, they. They have debit cards. So, I mean, we just got the card reader there at a Andy eats. But as far as, like, smoke city and candy Andy, a lot of people use their debit card. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:14] Speaker C: I do want to say shout out to my. My homie Albert tuning in. I saw the comment. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Thanks a lot. Albert Moreno. Christina, Kristen Lin. You know who that is? Christian Lynn. Oh, Jay Busos was talking about the turkey. [00:25:28] Speaker C: Turkey legs. Yeah. [00:25:30] Speaker B: So, yeah, my girl likes that, too. That's. She's like, hey, that turkey legacy. I'm like, ah, let me check the menu. So I'll call gee. [00:25:35] Speaker C: So we try to switch it up. [00:25:36] Speaker A: Okay, I was gonna ask. Yeah, so some days you have whatever's available. [00:25:40] Speaker B: So. [00:25:40] Speaker C: So we don't want people to get tired and burnt out on turkey legs. So whenever we do it, like, people know, and they come and we sell, like, 30 to, you know, 40 of them. But, um, if we were to do it every single day, like, you know, people are just gonna be like, oh, they. They just got turkey legs today. So we try to switch it up. We're. We're getting known for the loaded baked potato, which is a potato. We put, like, no sour cream cheese, brisket, sausage, barbecue sauce. And then, um, we even did, um. What was it called? The fake potato with the rib. So. So was it? Yeah, I lost my train of thought on that one. [00:26:21] Speaker B: The tomahawk one. Yeah. [00:26:23] Speaker C: That shit was fire, bro. Like, them things went, so. And then we even do, like, mini tacos. We try to switch it up. [00:26:32] Speaker B: We. [00:26:32] Speaker C: You know, a lot of people. I don't really see people get upset about it whenever we switch it up, but it kind of brings people more like, oh, shit, they got loaded fries today. Like, let's go. Or, oh, damn, they're doing wings. Yeah. So we don't have, like, a. Like, a. Just straight eight item menu. Like, you know, one day you might see eight things, the next day you might see 20 things. [00:26:54] Speaker A: Like, this is at your ends. [00:26:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:57] Speaker C: So the food truck. Oh, yeah. And over there, we're posted up 90% of the time at the boardwalk for now, which is over there on staples. [00:27:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:27:07] Speaker C: Unless we're doing, like, events and stuff. So this Friday we'll be at a art walk. Saturday, I think we have something during the day. And then we back at boardwalk at night. And then Sunday, we're doing the t mobile single demount. T mobile even. Actually, Saturday will be the drop of trap juice. [00:27:30] Speaker B: Candy, Andy. So, like, we're gonna shit these next two days. Gonna be busy as much as being doing this.

The brisket quesadillas, man. [00:28:00] Speaker C: Do them. [00:28:01] Speaker A: Hey, Julie. I'll try. I'm holding your man accountable over here. I told him you better not mess this one up. Yeah. [00:28:07] Speaker B: So, like, right now too, we already got people like am already buy my third one. So, like, we made some. So I left summer now I was eight. I'm gonna put ten at the shop. See how they sell. [00:28:18] Speaker A: Telling good. [00:28:19] Speaker C: Yeah, they're good, man. Like, you definitely, like, if y'all are tuned in right now, you definitely want to follow our Instagram trap underscore juice. That's j o o z e. Trap juice on Instagram, trap juice on Facebook. And we are gonna start posting more. I know Dusty said that he wanted two cases for the. For the shop, so. [00:28:40] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. So y'all buy it over here to produce bodega. [00:28:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:45] Speaker A: And possibly the zay's deuces also. [00:28:47] Speaker B: Yeah. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure cuz that's thing right there. Like, as much as I want to say is different is not. [00:28:53] Speaker C: I mean, it's different because I've tried other gushers. [00:28:57] Speaker B: Yeah. So, like, I have. Like, I buy some more all the time. [00:29:01] Speaker A: So, yeah, it's this one right here. Yeah, this one. Right. [00:29:03] Speaker B: The thing is that the difference between this and somebody else is that my sauce more gushers. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Y'all, you guys got to try that. I just tried it right now. It's fire. [00:29:10] Speaker B: The seasoning and the sauce is way different. Like, I make that separately. I don't just buy the store bought chamoy bottle. [00:29:15] Speaker A: Okay. [00:29:16] Speaker C: That's what makes you make the sauce. [00:29:18] Speaker B: That's what. That's what the difference is. That's. I'm saying, like, that's what makes it unique. Yeah, like, tick tock. Everybody just buys, like, you know, the store bought. [00:29:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:25] Speaker B: And they die nice. And they mix it. [00:29:27] Speaker A: So you make the mix itself. [00:29:28] Speaker B: Wow, that is self. So if I'm gonna do a whole batch, I'll make, like, I have some. What is the. It's like, it's like a big ass squirt bottle. It's like this big. It's like a 32 ounce bottle. But I'll mix it, and I put them in six bottles. And I know how much that makes. I know it makes at least over 200. 200 bags. [00:29:45] Speaker A: Amazing. [00:29:45] Speaker B: So when I do that, I have to prep that. That takes like an hour and a half just to prep that. Then I got to make the stuff. Then I got a package in, and that's where it takes the time. But if I spend a whole day, like, if I spend 1012 hours making candy, I'll knock out like 400 bags. [00:29:58] Speaker A: So with all that. But so with all the buying the mix and all that stuff, the packaging, all that stuff, do you do you find yourself coming out on top. [00:30:05] Speaker B: I guess it depends. Like lately. So when I started this, the box of gushers, like the ones you get from Sam's, I mean it used to be $10. Now they're like 13, $14. It's like inflation as much as like that's like oh my God. Stuff getting expensive. It is expensive but it's just how you market it too. Because like I haven't changed my price. They've been five books since I started this in 2020. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Right. [00:30:29] Speaker B: Drew sells them a little bit more because he's buying them at wholesale price. But he's also, he has the following and they're good. It's a good product and I stand by it. [00:30:35] Speaker A: Wow me. [00:30:36] Speaker B: I still have the same price because like I don't want to switch up on nobody and like, oh, I'm gonna raise it to $20. But as much as it's good, I feel like my product speaks for itself because right now I can say that's $7 and I'll somebody. I sell it to $7. Like oh bro, you should sell her five. And like I know but I'm gonna sit here and tell him like always cuz the prices went up. But I want to like even him, like we first got like talked together. Like he used to buy some from like the trade center. He's like the same size as $10 over there. And their tastes. Alright, I'm not gonna say it's trash but it's a different flavor. It's more. It's either too high or not sweet enough or just too spicy. Like there's not a mix. Mine's like a perfect blend of like sweet, spicy and like at least you're like if you get stuck eating, you're gonna eat the whole bag. The other one, you're gonna take two, three bites and put it up like next week. And then the bag. Yeah, I got you. [00:31:24] Speaker A: Wow. So you, so you got it. You got to fight with the competitors and then you got to fight with the market. The finite, the how to price it. [00:31:31] Speaker B: Because when I first started, I mean I was making like shoot. Like when I first started I was to work at timo out after work. I'll go drop off deliveries, meet up people. I was making extra 200, $300 almost every other day. [00:31:42] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:31:42] Speaker B: And that was just on top of what I was already making at work. [00:31:45] Speaker A: Wow. [00:31:45] Speaker B: So like now if I were to do it every day, I probably still make the same even here, right? Like when I first started doing, I met a few like people that I would talk to, and, like, I, like, sold out one day and I didn't have any for, like, a few days. And this girl, this girl had messaged me, was like, hey, I'm so sorry I cheated on you. I'm like, what happened? And she's like, no. Like, I bought some candy from the trade center. It wasn't even worth it. I was like, damn. I was like, okay, I'm sorry. I was like, next time I get someone, let you know. Yeah. And she's like, thank you so much. And then, so she bought some more, and then she bought some the next day again. And she spent, like, the whole weekend. They just spent, like $80. All right, trade center, bro. [00:32:19] Speaker A: So you guys moved out of the trade center. Talk. So we're gonna, we got here Gene de Leon. Appreciate. [00:32:25] Speaker C: Jane de Leon's our other business partner on Andy. [00:32:31] Speaker A: It's hot in there, ain't it? [00:32:38] Speaker C: Moving, the grooving. [00:32:40] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely. [00:32:41] Speaker C: If you're tuning in and you're in corpus, make sure to come visit us this weekend. Once again, we'll be at the art walk Friday. Saturday we got the trap juice event. Happened at 47 on one airs Sunday, will be at the t mobile event. [00:32:56] Speaker B: That's from like twelve to six, I think, right? Yeah. [00:33:00] Speaker C: So definitely follow us on social media. Definitely gonna just keep pushing out content and stuff from here on out. [00:33:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:07] Speaker A: So. So you find yourself having to keep pushing content in order to market your product, right? [00:33:11] Speaker B: Definitely. Like, in this time. Yeah. This, like, the way it is now. Yeah. [00:33:16] Speaker C: I had a question earlier about how come I don't really, you know, use, like, radio or, like, you know, other outlets. And I just feel like tick tock right now has been the biggest blessing for me and what I do. This candy Andy has over 23,000 followers. I just posted a recent video, maybe my second recent video, and it's probably sitting at over 30k views. Thousand something like. So 95% of my clientele for candy Andy is from TikTok. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Wow. [00:33:47] Speaker C: Like, I've asked people, you know, hey, where'd you find us at? And then they'll point out they're like, little kid, and be like, oh, he found you. And I'm like, where did he find us? And they're like, tick tock. So definitely, like, about 95% of our clientele. Like, people would think it'd probably be from people supporting me. And, I mean, there's some people that do, and I appreciate those that do come out and support me, but a lot of the time, it's, it's from the tick tock account and stuff. And the way we advertise on there. [00:34:16] Speaker A: Yeah, you'll have 39 plus followers together combined. Tick tock, ig and Facebook. [00:34:21] Speaker C: Right? [00:34:21] Speaker A: It's awesome, man. Yeah, dude, the kids using their, their mom's TikTok account to make videos and so I can imagine, dude. And then like, dude, tick tock is freaking smart, you know, they use your cat. I cover up my camera, bro. [00:34:32] Speaker B: I'm like, yeah, you know what I mean? [00:34:34] Speaker A: The tick tied. They know who's looking at the phone. The little kids looking at the phone. My son, dude, he there was watching this one guy, like, eating the lollipop. He was like, look, candy. So, like, definitely, man. I could see that. [00:34:46] Speaker B: Oh, my story. So, like, I saw, like, I told you, like, ot I did, I'd go to music video shoots with him. I'm in a few. Like, a few. I'm in the background. Not like in there, but like, I'm in the background. I post them behind the scenes. I'll post a clip. [00:35:00] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:35:00] Speaker B: That's how it started with TikTok. It blew up, like, within like a day. Had 150,000 views. Like, sorry. That's how my followers are following us. [00:35:07] Speaker A: Right? [00:35:07] Speaker B: They're like, oh, you know him? And I was like, yeah, like, but I have. But I have, man, I got videos from. [00:35:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw, I saw, like, there was one pin to your tick tock and it was like, even before. Cuz he looks, he different from the way he looks now. He's clean shave. You know what I mean? He looked different. I was like, whoa. So it's pretty cool that, that you knew him. So that, so that type of marketing has helped you, and you were in Houston, right? Is there, so. And you made the move to Corpus. [00:35:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:31] Speaker A: So, I mean, is there a story behind why? Well, you mentioned your dad, right? Is that the main reason? [00:35:36] Speaker B: No, it just, I was going through, like, a separation at the time, so, like, I didn't really have any family over there, cuz like, like I said, my mom was locked up, my brother had moved over here already, and I didn't really have anybody to, like, live with anymore. So, like, you know what? My parents, my grandparents have a branch in Mathis. And I was like, I'm gonna start over. I took what I could, took what I had, moved over there. I got the job back at T Mobile over here, transfer over here. And then I was like, I'm gonna put all the business on hold. I'm still gonna have the platform. I'm still gonna have it, but I'm put on hold. I'm not gonna post anything. But even when I did that, I still had people, like, wanting stuff. Like, hey, man, I'll pay an extra $50 for you to make this or whatever. And I was okay, okay. So, like, I still had interest, but it was everybody from Houston. So I'm like, damn, I have to ship it. And within. That's why I didn't have any help over here. It wasn't until the lowrider car show when I never. Carly was here. And me and Carly, like, I know Carly because I've done events with dope house. And she loves my candy, she loves the drink, she, man, she's like the nicest person. As much as that is SPM's daughter, I don't view it like that. I used to, cuz I was like, man, espionage to be a God. And he was like, if you wanted to, you wanted to be around dope house, that was cool. But she became really like friends and we, she would like, hey, or even a baby. Babylos, his son, them too. Always like, hey, let me buy some candy. My sister wants some, brother wants some. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:36:53] Speaker B: That's how the transaction started. So when they were. Whenever she came down here for that car show, I like, hey, I'm like, I'm in town. Can I meet you? Like, yeah. Like, can I get some gushers? So she bought some stuff for me and went in, and that's how it started. [00:37:05] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, man. Wow. What's the most popular product you're selling at T Mobile right now? [00:37:11] Speaker B: I need some Internet. [00:37:15] Speaker C: Don't do that. They got me some Internet. [00:37:24] Speaker B: Hey, I'm not gonna say, like, I love, I love my job. My day job is cool. I'm good. I'm good at what I do, but it's cuz I've been doing this 20. [00:37:30] Speaker C: Days good and sells it, period. [00:37:32] Speaker A: Yeah, well, true. Yeah. [00:37:36] Speaker B: Even like, a lot of people tell me, like, man, there's, there's, there's people that like, man, you can sell pretty good, you can talk. It's not even that. Like you say you can't, you can't t mobile, right? Like, hey, my phone's not working right, man, I need to get a new phone. I've at and t, you already know your phone don't work and you want something better, like, okay, what do you want? I'll ask you straight up. And if you, if you're like, man, I just need it. I want an iPhone. Okay, why do you want an iPhone? I'll question you, and you gotta sell me why you want it, because I'm not gonna switch you from different fun that you're not used to. [00:38:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:05] Speaker B: And I just go from there, and I'm just on it. Like, I've learned over the, like this job, you can't force anybody to buy anything. They're already there to spend money, and they're gonna buy what they want. That's how it is. [00:38:14] Speaker C: See, other people will be there to try to force you to buy something, and then it's like, damn, I walked out with. [00:38:22] Speaker B: I have coworkers. I mean, like, an old person comes in, they'll sell them something extra. Like, they're not even gonna use, and they might forget about it. But I as much as, like, I have a conscience, but it's more like, I'm not gonna do that because that makes me look bad, because they're gonna talk bad about me later. Like, oh, man, he tried to sell me this, sold me this. I wasn't using it. Like, he maybe pay an extra $50 on my bill. Like, nah, I'm trying to do that. If you need a phone, I got you a phone. If you want a tablet and you tell me why you need it, I'm. Or I might tell you, hey, if you want to play games on a bigger screen you can't see, go with an iPad. I'm not gonna sit here and, like, waste your time, because then if you have an issue, you don't want that no more, you're gonna bring it back to me anyways and return it. [00:38:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:57] Speaker B: And you're like, man, you sold me this, and I don't want you to tell me nothing no more. Then that leaves a bad rep on that part, and I don't want to do that. [00:39:03] Speaker A: So do you feel like those values and per principles have carried over to. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Especially with this type of stuff. Like, I believe in my products so much that, that I don't like. If someone like, they don't like it, it's because they truly just don't like it. That's fine. Out of the candy of any candy I've ever sold, I probably met three people out of the thousand bags I've sold that don't like my candy, and that's because they just don't like Chamoy at all. Then that's. That's fine. Like, I'm not gonna sit here and, like, force you to eat something. [00:39:30] Speaker C: You got me to buy more people. [00:39:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Good salesperson. Who else we got? Fernando Leyva. [00:39:40] Speaker B: That's Julie's brother. [00:39:41] Speaker A: All right. Gene de Leon. Some days it's a brother, but advisor will come out. [00:39:47] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Thanks, everyone. Hey, I don't know, Jimmy. [00:39:50] Speaker A: Hey. [00:39:51] Speaker B: He made it. So the reason why Julie says something about the case. Did he throw a little spin on. I know he's probably laughing because he made a case deal, regular cheese. And we had nachos at night. He put some nacho cheese on at the end. But that was another thing, I guess, the video you seen or you had. You had talked about on Facebook. [00:40:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:09] Speaker B: So what I told Drew, I was like, look, there's no really good taco spot in corpus. [00:40:14] Speaker C: No, there's not. Now, Zay is they told me the other day to go to this taco spot when I didn't eat my tacos. Yeah, I said. I said, man, for you making me waste $40, you got me. Make me some of your tacos, bro. [00:40:30] Speaker B: Like, I was. [00:40:30] Speaker C: I was upset. That's because I got other items. I got tacos. I got BDA tacos. The BDA tacos didn't even have a crunch. Like, they were just, like, just soggy. He was like, maybe there was a bad cook. He was probably having a bad day. [00:40:44] Speaker B: So me though, okay. Because one night, Julie was working late, and, um, I was a mouthful. Like, cooking, like, some days off, like, cooking, I was like, man, I'll just pick up some McDonald's, some shit. I was like, but this day, there's. There's a two food triggers right there. One in front of Gemini. Oh, three. [00:40:58] Speaker C: That's actually the good one. [00:40:59] Speaker B: That was. Yeah, that was. All right. That one's okay. [00:41:02] Speaker C: That one's better than the other one. [00:41:03] Speaker B: Okay, so. But look, but mind you, though, my thing is, I hate waiting. I hate waiting in line. I like, I understand if there's only one cook. Cool. I know. I'm gonna wait at least 1015 minutes. All right, it's fine. But the other one that's in front, that's in the eskimo hut parking lot. It's called tequila taco or something like that. [00:41:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:17] Speaker B: Nobody was there. [00:41:18] Speaker C: They're actually restaurants fire, though, so I don't know. I don't know why. [00:41:21] Speaker B: So, like, I pulled up and I was, you know what? I'm order, like a little cuz that. I think it's like three for. For three for seven and five for ten or something like that. Buy some tacos real quick. The guys are nice spokespan. So, hey, let me get a order. Tacos. He let me try. Well, he let me sample the taco. Cool. All right. It's pretty. It was like chorizo and asada. It was pretty good. All right. I mean, they're not the best. Don't get wrong. [00:41:43] Speaker C: Zay says, if the truck looks, like, beat up, they're good. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Because like me, though, like, when I cook, like, I love cooking, man, I'll throw some shit together. Like Julie probably attested this, too. Like, I'll throw some shit that out of hamburger meat and some rice and some bread or something. I'll make a regular salad out of it or something. But mine, when I was in Houston, and Houston's food is different, too. There's taco spots everywhere. You got to find the right one. And I came here. So when I came here, I was like, man, let me find. Let me find the right taco spot. So I'm still trying to learn, right? Shoot, I just had tacos, like, a couple days ago the first time. But what I told drills a man, I know, I can make some badass tacos. So he's like, no, you can't. Whatever, whatever, right? So my, my girls had a, her mom's birthday, I make some pastor tacos for like 56. [00:42:33] Speaker C: This is crazy, but I'm on snap. Ain't ate all day. I get on snap, I see zay, they poses some taco. I said, God damn them. I'm talking look good. I said, bro, you got some more? [00:42:45] Speaker B: Was it like last week? And it was like last Wednesday. I made up for my dad. My dad and my grandma, they never had my cooking before. [00:42:50] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:42:50] Speaker B: I went out there, I threw it down, and then my dad and everybody got quiet in the house. Nobody snowboard is talking like I was. It must be good because I ain't saying shit or whatever. And they're like, yeah, yeah, it was so good. My dad's all dying. Can't breathe, bro. [00:43:05] Speaker C: That shit. [00:43:07] Speaker B: Last night, my aunt, she hadn't been to my new apartment, so she came over. My mom, we're all hanging out, talking. I was just cooking. My mom made her rice. So, like, mom, you gotta make the rice. You know, you got to make this, right? So she made the rice real quick. I threw it down, made the tacos, and I was like, man, I'll make some cases. I just bought some badass tortillas. [00:43:23] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:43:23] Speaker B: They're big. [00:43:24] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:43:24] Speaker B: And I was like, I made my stuff, and then I had some meat leftover. And Drew, I was like, hey, hungry or what? I say, he's like, yes, I would time you leaving the shops I'm leaving at ten. I was like, bring your ass over there. He's our bit. So he comes up, him and his, him and Ruby, they're like, they're, I made him tacos at first. I let them try it. Like, this is good as fuck. He already had the tacos last week. Yeah, he already knew what they tasted like this time. [00:43:45] Speaker C: It was like, it was fresh. [00:43:46] Speaker B: So, yeah, and then I made the quesadillas. The quesadillas, just so what I told Drew, I was like, you know what? My next day off, like next week, what I'll do is I'll go cook for you at a candy andy. We'll do like some taco plates and some quesadilla plates. Like a day. Like a day. We'll see how it goes. We'll see if anybody likes it. If they do like it, cool. If not. [00:44:05] Speaker A: So what are you thinking? That the whole time he's gonna go, he's got to come over here? [00:44:08] Speaker C: I knew he, you know what I mean? He was gonna bring because, man, that shit, I told him, I said, bro, this shit is crazy. [00:44:14] Speaker B: Because they had, there had some people. [00:44:15] Speaker C: Cook for them over, we've done it before. We've served like enchiladas, tacos, taking fettuccine Alfredo plate. [00:44:22] Speaker B: And I don't want knock nobody's food. I've tried everybody's food. No way. Nobody's bad. I just like home cook food other than like, because what I told him to is like, get a thing about it. It's two, it's two and two in the morning. Everybody goes. A lot of everybody goes to McDonald's. [00:44:34] Speaker C: Everybody gets tired of that, though. [00:44:36] Speaker B: And that's what I mean. [00:44:36] Speaker C: I hop Denny sometimes. [00:44:38] Speaker A: It's all that's open. [00:44:39] Speaker B: Exactly, man. If we were to get a truck and just sling tacos and quesadillas at night. [00:44:44] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:44:45] Speaker B: And all I do is like, hey, how much for a plate of five? Shoot, $15 or whatever. Yeah, they're gonna buy it. They're hungry, bro, that they're fucked up, they're not wanting. [00:44:52] Speaker A: That's a good thought process right there, man. [00:44:54] Speaker B: And then, so like, I was always like, shoot, if you're gonna get another food truck or whatever, like, we're just sling tacos in quesadillas and I swear, so if I was cooking a shot, I'll work from ten to 210 or three in the morning and just knock them out. [00:45:06] Speaker A: That's nice. What's up on tick tock? Isaac, the barber, we got the Garza what's up, Garza? Man, appreciate you always in here. Sorry, man. It's on that screen over there. [00:45:17] Speaker B: Yeah, kind of having. [00:45:20] Speaker A: Yeah, man, that's dope what you guys are doing, man. So are you guys. Are y'all a partnership, or you got your business? [00:45:26] Speaker B: He's got his business. I mean, I have my business as his. But as much as it's, like, separate, it's together. I mean, cuz without one or the other, I mean, it doesn't work, cuz, as much as you like being. I mean. I mean, we still all work together. [00:45:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess. I mean, like. Like, not. Not two owners for one business. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm thinking more like, I guess, like a corporate level or whatever. You know what I'm saying? Is it, like, your business, his business, or both? [00:45:51] Speaker C: Y'all have a trap juice was originally, like, ze's, you know? [00:45:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Like. [00:45:56] Speaker C: Like, he came up with trap juice. All me and G did was just come in and put our little twist to it, and. You know what I mean? Now we're all three on the same pages, you know, wanting to blow it up. So we understand the idea, the goal, and the mission. So we all just want the same thing, you know what I mean? But in order to make that happen. No. It's like a basketball team. Can no one be saying, like, ISO the whole game? Like, everybody has to play their role and know the ball. [00:46:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I could see, that's why I ask you, man, because you would think that sometimes if there's more than one people involved, it'd be difficult to get to keep it going. You know what I mean? It's like a band. You know what I mean? [00:46:32] Speaker B: Because as much as, like, is because, honestly, like, when I started the candy, I didn't want people to know who I was. I didn't give a damn. They saw me on picture. I just posted the project. I think here, even this, like, I don't care. And people to know who. Who's. Who makes it. This is the name I want people to know. Like, when they see this, it's a good product. That's what I want them to do. But I don't like as much as Drew's well known. Like, that's cool. If they see him, they see this cool because he has that following. I'm new here. I don't know anybody. [00:46:57] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:46:57] Speaker B: The people that I have met have been through Drew. So that's. That's. That's where I felt like even today, I walked through Walmart I was grabbing some stuff. I met some dude I met with Drew. It was. He was at the barbershop one day. Oh. And he said, what's always, like, we don't get ready for the drinks or this because I'm an. He was at work, so he was walking by. [00:47:15] Speaker A: So that type of marketing has worked for you in the past when you're in Houston? [00:47:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:18] Speaker A: And you're kind of. [00:47:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like I said, like, so. No, it sounds crazy, but I did a candy contest, so, like, the candy that I do is so big in Houston. There's so many different people that do it. There's so different markets. So they had a candy contest. The first one I insert, I was, like, real rough into, like, I show you pictures. I was, like, a little table with a white basket. Looks really plane. I didn't win that one. But the thing is, what. What I did was I still stayed to myself. I didn't do anything extra. I did how I knew there was people that were from, like, on, like, YouTube. There was yum yum candy, Scarface, the Michelin X in Houston. Big names that were, like, aiming chingle bling. His wife was there. They were all judges. And, like, I. Like, I knew who they were, but I'm just a little person. You're like, they're not gonna say anything to me. I didn't win anything. I didn't even place anything. But I injured, like, my. To pickle, like, what he does, and. But I have my sauce and seasoning, so it tastes a little different. And I'll throw some, like, takis peanuts on it with the swinkle stuff on it. And that right there, that product is what kind of blew me up, because after the contest was done, scarface came, yum yum candy. And then Chingo bing's wife came, like, hey, look, you didn't win, but yours tasted the best. Your presentation wasn't there. [00:48:26] Speaker A: Wow. [00:48:27] Speaker B: I didn't know. I didn't know. Like, we had to, like, make this shit look fancy. I was just throwing it out there. I was just like, I just want them to taste the food. That's all I wanted to do. But at the end, like, hey, man, can you make us one? We'll pay for it. Like, we liked it so much that we want to take it home. So I did. So that kind of helped me. I said after that event, I was like, damn. All right, so the next one, they had another event, like, two months later. Man, I went all out. I've had all the presentation badass plays a mexican flag to pick right around on everything down right there made me second place. That's where it started. I want second place. I want to plaque and also got recognition from dope house. Carly was supposed to be there, but SPMs son was there. I didn't even, like, present myself, like, on my fan or anything like that. All I was like, hey, here's this product. He came back and bought more stuff at the end. And then even that, too. I shot my shot maybe like a week later. I was a man like, you remember me from the contest? Like, if you need anything, let me know. I'll come deliver to you. That was, that's where it happened. Everything from meeting the managers to meet no tea to meeting the managers and other artists and videographers through Houston. That's how it started from a contest. And ever since then, the following year, they had the same contest. They're like, look, we know you're who you are. You don't even. You didn't even enter. You can be a judge. So I following you, I became a judge, and I tested. I tasted all this stuff, and that was the first time where I tasted being a host, like, on stage. So I was on stage talking to people, making people laugh, and that's where it grew from there. Like, I didn't have to bring out the candy anymore. People knew I was all I was. They the candy man. Like, that's all it was. Like, that's where my alter ego came out. Like, I was born on stage laughing, not as serious, playing around and stuff. [00:50:00] Speaker A: So, so the presentation that, the presentation of your candy at that one contest is what kind of change helped change it a little bit, and then you became to the point where you don't even have to show your candy. It was just you as the brand itself. Did you find that having an appearance like your. Your physical, your how you look? You know what I mean? [00:50:18] Speaker B: It was the same. I still just. Same as I do now. Oversized tee. I wear shorts and some kind of shoes. [00:50:24] Speaker A: We got pro five or pro club. Which one? [00:50:25] Speaker B: Shocker. Here. [00:50:26] Speaker A: Oh, shock, dude. [00:50:27] Speaker B: I've been wanting to try them. [00:50:30] Speaker A: I got a 500. [00:50:31] Speaker C: Gotta bring you a trap juice shirt. [00:50:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, these are the, like. So this is like. So, yeah. I mean, I've always been the same person. It's always been unique. But I think I got fed into that life, though, because I think once I met ot and we started going out, we'll be out till three, four in the morning. I started meeting other artists. We'll be out. But I didn't like doing bad. We're just out. We're promoting a video or networking. Networking. And I met so many people, and it was good, but I got so caught up that, man, I was staying up late. I wouldn't be doing anything, so I would be lazy. So I would like, kind of like not make as much candy. I wouldn't be delivering, or I would be like, you have to come get it or something like that. So I started changing my ways, and it showed because it wasn't as much. Says I'm not trying to be like that anymore. I'll do what I need to do. I'm gonna sell what I sell. [00:51:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:17] Speaker B: As much as me partying or me, like, going out and drawing myself, I'll do that, but I'm not gonna make it stop me from making any money and, like, helping the team. [00:51:23] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. We got some people who need a t shirt. Two x. Somebody said in TikTok, are y'all up to date with the Drake and Kendrick beef? [00:51:42] Speaker C: I don't know, man, but Chris Brown murdered. [00:51:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that one. I think that's more interesting. Quavo and Chris Brown. Cuz Drake mean, Drake's already. He's an artist. Even if you don't clap back or anything like that. Ain't really ain't nothing. Chris Brown. Yes. You had a light skin dancing r and b singer coming at you. Kendrick just dropped the track. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:52:03] Speaker C: We heard that earlier. [00:52:04] Speaker A: So Kendrick just dropped the track. [00:52:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:06] Speaker C: Another one. [00:52:07] Speaker A: Wow. [00:52:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I seen it. [00:52:09] Speaker C: Yeah, it was pretty tight. Yeah, I got J. Cole right here in the mirror jacket. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Wow. What do y'all think in the chat about the Jerry Kendrick beef? Put it. [00:52:27] Speaker C: Put in the chat you got on right now, sir, who made your teeth? [00:52:32] Speaker B: My cousin. My cousin. [00:52:33] Speaker C: I'll have him autograph that for you. Jonathan. [00:52:36] Speaker B: My, my cousin, he. My other cousin, he has lupe. He has a. He has another businesses. Choose wisely. [00:52:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:52:43] Speaker B: It's actually based from, like, J. Cole. Like, his wisdom, his words, from his lyrics. [00:52:47] Speaker A: No way. [00:52:48] Speaker B: So. But his brand is very. He uses shaka for his shirts, is very good material. And he knows how, he knows how to make good merch. And he's going to school for designs. So, like, he'll help us out with some of our stuff. So, like, he, we've got our shirts through him. So if we do any shirts, it's through him because he knows the guy that prints out the logos, and then he'll get it pressed by him and stuff. And that's who get. Makes our stuff, because he has the bags and everything, too. He actually does a lot of designs for a lot of barbershops that. That are around, like, corpus. [00:53:13] Speaker A: So he's based out of corpus? [00:53:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, we just moved back. He was in the valley for a while, and now he's going to school and stuff, and he does that full time. Yeah, he's. He started his, like, last year, too, so it's been a year since he's almost been, like, fully out. [00:53:27] Speaker A: It's interesting you say that. He uses a lyric from Kendrick for his Jacob, just from Jake for his brand. [00:53:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, you choose wisely. His brand is. That's something J. Cole says, like, wow. [00:53:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So do y'all have some type of that, I guess that kind. Type of thinking or philosophy or whatever for your brand or whatever? [00:53:47] Speaker B: My candy, I do. Because there's a. There's some artists in Houston that kind of. I gave them some candy, and they tried it on a video. It was like, it ain't zezo. Because, like, if you try anybody else's, it ain't Zayz. [00:53:58] Speaker A: Oh, come on. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Kind of went with that one. And then the drinks, I mean, I had told them when I started this, there's a. You ever seen juice with Tupac, maybe? [00:54:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, maybe, like, back in the days, like, in, like, the nineties. This is like, my power. Respect juice. So I was saying like this, and I was like, we got the juice. So same thing. [00:54:16] Speaker A: Nice, dude. Yeah. When I talk to business people, they have, like, some kind of slogan for something or other. Like, my dad, he's a. Like a door. He does doors and stuff. It's called see more doors. Been in business since, like, 92. I was like, where you come up with your. [00:54:29] Speaker B: Your name? [00:54:30] Speaker A: He's like, I got it from this or whatever. And, yeah, so see more doors. You know what I mean? This is the. What I use when I talk to people. So it's interesting that you guys have, like, that type of mindset, you know what I mean? [00:54:39] Speaker B: As business people, I think that's what ties together is the way that we do think on stuff like that when it comes to, like, numbers and, like, oh, yeah. Everything we tie in together is because of that. [00:54:49] Speaker A: So a lot of y'all have a lot of likes and likes. [00:54:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:52] Speaker A: Like, differences. [00:54:53] Speaker C: I really see anything, they're like, if I throw an idea as they. You know, damn, bro, that's fucking dope. Or if he says something, I'm like, shit, that's even fucking dope. Like, yeah, so we're both kind of, you know, on the same level. I mean, if something sounds stupid, of course we'll call it out. But so far, like, I mean, whenever we thought about this. This idea of the. The grape, we both were like, shit. And then whenever it was put together, it was like, damn. Then whenever it got slapped on the bottle, it was like, wow. [00:55:21] Speaker B: Like I said on there last night, I was like, damn. Like, it's gonna be some issues, but, like, you run out earlier. He's like, may, don't put it on snap, cuz. They're gonna think it's drugs. So, yeah, leave it on. [00:55:30] Speaker C: It flagged me, so I was like, man, like, that shit. I mean, it. It's understandable, but we just got to word it the right way, you know. [00:55:39] Speaker B: Texas tea and I mean, something bad, cuz, don't you wrong. [00:55:41] Speaker C: Like, there's nothing infused in it. Shoes. [00:55:44] Speaker A: No. [00:55:44] Speaker B: Like, I can sell this to a five year old. Hey, like, I'm not. Not gonna say your market to. [00:55:49] Speaker A: Is there. [00:55:51] Speaker B: So, like, there's another. Was in Houston. There's a brand called a hippie juice. That one's infused, that one. They have different sizes and stuff like that. Like, no, I wouldn't want to do that to nobody because I've seen how much that messes up. I could say you're not used to it. You take a drink out of it, you're. I ain't trying to miss nobody. Oh. Even, like, when I started selling the candy, a lot of my people on Snapchat, like, man, those edibles. Nah, bro. Like, they wouldn't be $5. I mean, $50. Yeah, that cheap. [00:56:16] Speaker A: Wow. So do you have to put the. The ingredients and stuff on there? [00:56:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:20] Speaker A: Is it a must, like, you have to when you sell that, or you just kind of just did. [00:56:24] Speaker B: He came up with, like, me. I was just put the name, to be honest, like that, please. [00:56:28] Speaker C: I was official brought to my attention. [00:56:30] Speaker A: Yeah, okay. [00:56:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:32] Speaker B: So, I mean, I thought about it, too, but I wasn't, man, I don't have. I don't have the knowledge. Do it. But then do our designer, Keith, man. [00:56:38] Speaker C: Shout out my boy key. [00:56:40] Speaker A: Yeah, he's here in town. [00:56:42] Speaker C: Yeah, he's here in town. [00:56:42] Speaker B: He shoot, he gave him the idea. [00:56:45] Speaker C: That that's his company, right? [00:56:47] Speaker B: He came up with these designs, like, even the one for faded vision that collect the first club we did with the faded vision barbershop. One of the barbers there, Lewis Nya. Mmm. He's one that he went to the shop. We first had him he bought like ten bottles. [00:57:00] Speaker A: Wow. [00:57:00] Speaker B: And he's a lovely. [00:57:01] Speaker C: So much like definitely plan on doing different collabs with different people that. [00:57:04] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:57:05] Speaker A: Wow. So what's in the future? What's, what's going on in the future. [00:57:09] Speaker C: As far as trap juice? We're gonna you know keep marketing it. We got different ideas, different ways of promotion. Video little small clips like 32nd clips of videos, photo shoots. We're gonna do more pop up events in different cities not just corpus and just try to just really just build. Built the name more and more to make it as big as possible as we can. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Get past Texas? [00:57:34] Speaker C: Yeah get past Texas definitely like we wanted in other stores and you know what I mean around Texas right now we just want it to be exclusive. Yeah. [00:57:44] Speaker B: Cuz, like, cuz what I was telling him before like barbers here in corpus they drew up like LeBron await. [00:57:57] Speaker C: Sodas on the. I think I look more like Arden. [00:58:08] Speaker B: But I was telling him like basically like in corpus the way barbers are looked at or viewed at and they're like celebrities. I mean shit you go, you go to a barbershop and their clientele is booming. They're constantly busy and that's a good thing. [00:58:19] Speaker C: And everybody's always thirsty too so. [00:58:21] Speaker B: Yeah so I mean I just think is I thought, I thought Barbers was like the first thought because I don't know any artists out here besides drew like as doing music. Yeah and that was new for me. So like in Houston everybody's a damn rapper. Everybody doing some kind of music. So here the barber shit there's like, there's like much as there's a lot of barber shops like there's faded vision, there's blendy. All these places that people go to, they go to there they go to that same barber for a reason. They're either loyal to them because they cut good or either your friend. And that's the same thing. How we want to do is that if you're, if these are loads of like a certain spot that sells it at then you know it's gonna be there no matter. So it's either gonna be the food truck, smoke city or candy Andy. [00:59:02] Speaker A: And that's so still kind of finding the more your market down. [00:59:06] Speaker B: So like that's why like I told him like cuz I first we're trying to do like just exclusive to like different people. But as much as like if they don't want to pay for like the cases that they want to get to do the collab that's fine. We're not gonna force you. [00:59:18] Speaker C: That's how we're doing it right now with the collab. For somebody, like, say, for an example, if you wanted to collab and do. [00:59:24] Speaker B: Like, a corpse Chris, the original thing. [00:59:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:26] Speaker C: A certain juice collaboration with trap juice, you would have to just buy, you know, four to five cases, and then we'd market it for you, too, as well, like, on our social media. So it kind of plays out both rows. I. You're getting promoted through our following, and not only the trap juice following, but my personal following, too. So, like, on Snapchat, you know, my following on Snap is, like, two k plus, and then my insights are, like, 200,000 plus, so. [00:59:50] Speaker A: Wow, that's interesting. Look at marketing, man. I never, never thought of it that way. [00:59:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's why it's like, if you don't want to do the club, that's fine. We're not gonna force it on you. But as much as we do our stuff, if you don't have. If you can't find us personally, we know you know where it's at. Like, we're not gonna sit here and, like, chase, you just buy it. Like, you can come to us. [01:00:07] Speaker A: Got available here. [01:00:08] Speaker C: Right, right. [01:00:08] Speaker B: Same thing is, like, you know, there's certain places that sell certain drinks themselves, like Walmart or HV. You go to that one spot all the time because you know it's there, man. That's how it is. [01:00:18] Speaker A: Do I think it like convenience stores? I mean, how do you approach that situation? [01:00:22] Speaker C: I think our following would have to be a lot bigger. You know, the name would definitely have to be much, much more bigger, and it will get there, but, you know, for now, I think it would just be, like, kind of like a into small businesses that are interested in having it in there. Once one small businesses see the traction that we have as far as, like, our following and how people are buying in the pictures of people, like, from the last food truck festival, we had at least over 40 something pictures of different people trying it. Actual videos, like, little ten second videos. Hey, you know, one through ten, rate the video. I mean, rate the juice. And they'd be like, you know, oh. [01:00:59] Speaker B: Man, it was a, like, simple summer. Like, over the top. Like, dude, this right here brings back to my childhood. [01:01:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:01:05] Speaker C: So whenever, like, let's say you were a small business that had drinks already and you started seeing, like, man, like, people are going crazy over this, you would want to reach out to us and, hey, how can I get that juice into my business and, you know, we go from there and stuff. [01:01:18] Speaker B: So. [01:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome, man. Wow. Yeah, more power to you guys. I hope you guys get to where you want to be, man. It's awesome. Coming up on an hour, but, yeah. Is there anything else you guys want to share about what's going on with y'all, man?

Shout out to all my family, my friends, my close family, and all the people that are riding behind me and everything that I'm doing right now. [01:02:31] Speaker A: All right, so I got the h e b question. Which hb do you shop at? Or which one do you avoid? Which walmart do you shop at? Or which walmart do you avoid in corpus? Or we could bring up the Ab Keetonia story. That's. That's. [01:02:44] Speaker B: We can talk about that. So, like, I live off of a little staples and timber gates. I'm on, like, the nicer side I should be plus. And the Saratoga. So, hey, honestly, when I moved out here, I didn't know it was like that. My girl was like, hey, don't go to Greenwood. [01:03:00] Speaker C: I didn't know, man. [01:03:02] Speaker B: I feel. [01:03:02] Speaker C: I feel like I get lost going into the big stores. I hb plus, I'm like, I gotta stay over there. [01:03:10] Speaker A: When I went. [01:03:10] Speaker B: When I went to HB plus, the first time, I damn, y'all sell house, sell cow hides. I'm like, tvs, they got a whole ass pop. But it, like, even the Walmart shirt. So I didn't know what all those either. I thought, shit, where I came from there's one Walmart and one at two HB's but still opposite size. I stayed on the ghetto side and over here is way different. So I didn't know that was the thing. So my girls, yeah, that was the ghetto one. They don't eat. They don't even sell this because the one has this one and this only has this mexican product. I'm like, damn, for real. [01:03:39] Speaker C: The Walmart on green one got everything locked up. [01:03:43] Speaker B: The cosmetic closes at eight. You can't even go past the gate pass a unless you need, even if you get some razors. [01:03:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, we got, that was a follower on for you guys listening. [01:04:01] Speaker C: How do you feel about the ab situation? [01:04:04] Speaker A: I mean, bro, like I think he's an older dude. It's a lot of the younger cats don't know who he is. [01:04:09] Speaker C: I mean there's maybe really feel like he was not taking his medicine. [01:04:15] Speaker A: What? [01:04:16] Speaker B: I don't know, man. Like, I mean it's not even that though. It's like he did the apology the next day though how he did that video. So it's like gotta know, bro. [01:04:24] Speaker A: We all make mistakes that I look at it like, you know what, I'm human to. No, I'm saying I do stupid stuff too sometimes, you know. I mean, so I really can't talk because I've never been in but every. [01:04:33] Speaker C: Show is not gonna be, you know. You know, just like I see it coming up now. Like not every show is gonna have 5000 people. [01:04:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:42] Speaker C: You know, you still gotta perform in front of one, two, three before people like and treat it like it's a 5000 crowd show. You know, even though that sucks, you know, some people don't see it like that but at the end of the day I just feel like, you know, if those people weren't enjoying his music and, you know, yeah, he did create some hits and do stuff like that but I just feel personally like, you know if they're not vibing to you, you don't know if the crowds already burnt out from, you know, being outside. It's an outside venue. So maybe different things like. Yeah, I just feel maybe that wasn't like the right thing to do because you're kind of like making, you know, your reflection on Selena. At the end of the day you're a brother so it kind of, you know what I mean? Looks bad either way in my eyes. [01:05:22] Speaker A: And at the same time too, like, cuz like when you're starting out you're hungry, you don't care how many people are there? [01:05:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:27] Speaker A: You know, so he's probably been doing it for years. [01:05:29] Speaker C: He. [01:05:31] Speaker B: Expects it so much. But also too, like, my mom, like an ab story. That mom, she's a. She. She works in small X and Mathis. So I guess he was doing a show somewhere like Santona. So we almost way back, they stopped there and she wasn't. She's a prep, so she don't ever. She's not a waitress or anything like that, but the waitress that was there, like, his people were real rude. They felt like they deserved the world. Like you should. So, like, as much as, like, he's a. He's a. He's an artist. But, like, I've been around some artists too. Like, don't you run. Like, I've been on that side where they're assholes and then there's. There's. They're good people and I can separate them. And I. And I know that's. He probably thinks he should be better and be held at a pedestal sometimes. It's not like you don't care who you are. Yeah, I mean, she could have been a little girl, that. That she was expecting something. Then he said that you just pissed her off. She looks bad way. [01:06:20] Speaker A: I can't. And he brought in the cowboys, bro. [01:06:28] Speaker C: Oh, shout out, tone. [01:06:31] Speaker A: Yeah, tone. Tone. Carrillo, drippy Drew, what's good? Appreciate you, man.
