[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's going on, y'all? Corpus Christi Originals back at it again. Today we got El Vago Burger and Barbecue. Alex Aridondo and Javier Rocha from S. TX maintenance. What's going on, fellas? [00:00:10] Speaker B: Another day, bro. [00:00:12] Speaker A: Another day. Michael White. What's going on? Michael White. [00:00:15] Speaker B: Michael White, bro. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Dude, so somebody. Somebody was telling you, oh, why do you associate with this guy? Because of. He slapped that April. [00:00:24] Speaker B: It's. It's a. It's more than what it is, bro. Everybody's trying to make you look like it's over spaghetti, man. It's. It's. It goes beyond that, man. And it sucks because it's between Michael White, another good friend of mine. You know, I mean, like, we're really good friends. And, like, I didn't want to get involved. Like, I. You know, the drama started popping, whatever. And, you know, me. My wife talked about it when I. You know what? Stay out of it. Has nothing to do with this. But then today, we got included into it. Like, ching out, man. So here we go, man. One thing I didn't want to do because, you know, it's with my boy Jorge and Michael White. [00:01:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:01] Speaker B: And ever. I love Jorge, bro. He's a good guy. I don't know what the fuck he's thinking, the shit he's doing right now, but you know he's wrong, bro. You know what I mean? He's wrong. I'm sorry. He's wrong. [00:01:12] Speaker A: So he's wrong because. Because he was. He was doing that. Well, why is he wrong? [00:01:17] Speaker B: Okay, well, let me start from the beginning, right? A while back, me and Michael White shot a video, right? Which is bullshit videos. Whatever. You know, I can make the stuff at the restaurant, so it's not exactly on my menu. And I'll start off with the pizza burger. [00:01:32] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:01:33] Speaker B: Right? I made the pizza burger. I posted, I think nothing of it. Like, it just say, you know, whatever, you know, it's just a video, you know? I guess George got upset, you know, started making all these posts and stuff. You know? I guess I'm trashing me for it. I should have gave him acknowledging for it. I stole his menu item. And isn't that. And I was all like, what the hell? Like, dude, ain't that. It's nothing. Like it's just a little bullshit video. Like, I ain't trying to copy nobody. You know? Like, I was a cheating. So I hit him up and I said, I tell him about it, whatever. And he denies it. I. Bro, it's not about you and this is that. And blah, blah, blah. Sorry. Whatever. Okay. I didn't care. Like, I just brushed it, you know? You know. Yeah, fuck it. So a couple of weeks later, Michael White tells me, hey, man, he was like, George pissed me off, dude. I blocked him. And this is nad. And I was all like, well, alrighty. I said, you know, that's. You know, that's just. Y'all staying, whatever, you know. Yeah, you know, I try to talk to me. Do you just give another. Ain't give another chance, blah, blah, whatever. So he blocked them. Whatever. About a week later, George Texas mean, he's all I gave. I'm trying to get a hold of Michael White. Do you know why he blocked me? Yeah, I love both these guys, bro. Yeah, we're cool as shit, bro. Like, we're supposed to go, all three of us in, his wife, my wife, and a bunch of family to. To frio next month. Like, they were all supposed to go, like, big old bunch of friends hanging out. And, yeah, it turned into this. [00:02:56] Speaker A: Oh, no, that sucks, you know? Yeah. I didn't realize, like, you were friends with both of them. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, George. [00:03:02] Speaker C: George. [00:03:03] Speaker B: Like I said, george is a good guy, but I don't know. I don't know why he's, you know. I mean, like, I know right now he's probably like, fuck, Alex, we ain't. [00:03:11] Speaker A: Going to the river anymore. [00:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah, John, your ass. But, you know, I know he's all. He's probably mad at me. But, April, truth is. The truth, I can't. You know, I didn't write this shit, you know, blame God. You know what I mean? He's the one that wrote the storyline. You know, I didn't shit. You know, I'm just caught in the middle of it, man. I'm like, man, so, uh. So all that fucking shit happens, right? And then George says that he's trying to get a hold of Michael White to cook spaghetti for him, whatever. And I was like, well, I'll let him know. [00:03:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:35] Speaker B: So I told Michael wise, April, George hit me up. He was, talk to you. So we won't talk to me for. I say, bro, it's probably not even that big of a deal, bro. Maybe you're thinking too much into it. Nah, nah, nah. And then he started showing me things, telling me things I want to get too much. I let Michael White tell that part, whatever sounds like, all right, fine. You know, that's between y'all. So Michael White unblocked him, right? And then they get into it. They get into it, you know? But Michael White told him, hey, we're cool. You know what I mean? Like, I just don't want to be your friend on Facebook because I don't like how you come at me and, you know, talking shit on posterity. You know? This is stupid, right? So. So George got mad, started calling, talking all kinds of shit to him. And now the big old pedal happened, so George blocked him, right? And so fast forward to, I guess, a couple nights ago, you know, I saw that George was making spaghetti and stuff, and I was like, he quit. Oh, no, it's gonna have some shit, right? So I go to bed, right? I go to bed, and I wake up in the morning. It was yesterday, my day off. And my wife wakes me up. She'll get up. I'm like, man, I'm off today. I ain't fucking getting up. Fuck that. You know? She was. No, she ain't gonna believe what happened, I think. What? She's like, Michael White slapped George. [00:04:48] Speaker C: I said, what? [00:04:50] Speaker B: I said, no, the fuck he didn't. She goes, yeah, you did. I'm like, ching out. And then she was like, you better stay out of it. I said, I'm gonna stay out of it. [00:04:58] Speaker A: I promise. [00:04:58] Speaker B: I'm. Stay out of it. Ain't none of my business. I'm like, God damn, Mandev. So I opened my phone, and George's wife text me on both my pages and text my wife, you know, trash on Michael Wyatt, saying all kinds of shit, whatever. And, you know, I didn't respond to it because I'm like, oh, man. Like, I just don't want to be involved in this. [00:05:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:17] Speaker B: You know what I mean? Like, I'm cool with both of them. They're both my friends. [00:05:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:21] Speaker B: So I just. I just didn't want to get in. I don't like the drama with all the food, dude. Corpus is bad about that shit, bro. Everybody's always trashing each other, man. That's why we fucking keep failing. That's why all the Mexicanos are fucking failing. You see the Indians and the Chinese, bro? They're fucking prospering. They're doing good. They're working with each other. They're all getting rich. And the Mexicanos are all put on. Be there, dude. Crabs in a bucket, bro. You know, one's trying to get out, pulling back in, dude. I don't want to be in that shit. [00:05:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:47] Speaker B: That's why I stay out of this. That, you know? That's them. I got a good name for myself. [00:05:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:50] Speaker B: You know, my customers love me, you know, I put out for the community. I'm trying to do good. Like, I don't, I don't need this shit. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:56] Speaker B: And so, so I posted a post today of Michael White, whatever, you know, and I, about, thanks, whatever. Cuz I had all these millions of views on all these videos shit. Right. You know what I mean? To get him some more work, whatever. Then, then George got on there talking shit and his wife got on there talking shit and. And then they started talking, kind of starting talking shit about me, whatever. Yes. And that, you know, George made a post about me and then he deleted it. But what he said was true. I didn't know. [00:06:22] Speaker A: Right. [00:06:22] Speaker B: You know what I mean? But I didn't, I didn't lie. I just didn't want to be involved in it because I don't want to hurt nobody's feelings, you know what I mean? I didn't want to be the guy, you know, to be. Oh, he said this all. He said that you don't. I mean, but now that I'm thrown in the mix, well, fuck, I'm gonna go ahead and say the truth. Like, goddamn. [00:06:41] Speaker A: That'S what they want, bro. They, like, it seems like that was, that's what they want. [00:06:44] Speaker C: Like, but dude, just to keep it, keep it going. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Yeah, everybody in, like publicity. [00:06:49] Speaker B: I don't know if George did that, like, like in already. I think George did it because he thought Mike White wasn't gonna do shit. No, because he unblocked Michael White and tagged him in those posts. That's why Michael White went over there. And I. Oh, no, cuz he said a, you know, how do you say it? If anybody gots a problem with the menu, come see me. And then he tagged Michael White. And then people were posted, it says, not vic the moan. So. You know what I mean? So there goes a crazy white rabbit, bro, down straight to fucking riches. About two in the fucking morning, man. He goes in there and he goes, talk to George. And George was laughing at him, so he slapped him. He fucking slapped and he cocked back. He thought I'm like, I'm like, chi ain't got step operative. We're gonna have to click them in tomorrow. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Now make it official. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Yeah, make an official. [00:07:48] Speaker A: Mickey Mauricio. Alina Lopez Macarthur. Michelle Ramirez. Thanks for commenting, you guys. And we're gonna pick a winner from the people that are commenting to get. Was it, what was it? [00:07:58] Speaker B: Free meal. [00:07:59] Speaker A: Free meal to somebody. To the people. One of the people that, that's commenting on the video. Hey, Mama, thanks for joining the live stream. Love you. Yeah, dude, that's crazy, man. So I rap, you get to click him in, huh? [00:08:11] Speaker B: You click him in. The mars down, fool. Hearing the stripes. [00:08:15] Speaker A: I just hope he doesn't go to jail, man. Like, are they really pressing charges on him? [00:08:18] Speaker B: That's what he said, man. They're gonna press charges on him. Like, hey, dude, did he slap you? He didn't punch? He didn't stab you? You know, he didn't pull a gun out on you? [00:08:25] Speaker A: What was he wrong for doing that, though? Like for. [00:08:27] Speaker B: Nah, bro. I hate to say it, but George kept poking at him, bro. [00:08:29] Speaker A: No, George was the one that was in the wrong for doing what he. [00:08:33] Speaker B: Did because he did it, because he got mad and because supposedly the last podcast we did when all those were here. [00:08:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:39] Speaker B: They were talking shit about him, that it was about him. I know. I know. [00:08:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:47] Speaker B: So he's saying that we, we were talking. [00:08:50] Speaker A: Don't bring me into this, bro. [00:08:55] Speaker B: So he got mad. He was mad about that. He was mad about this nad. You know, I've been wanting to talk to George, but I didn't because I just wasn't. It just, everything just cool down first. [00:09:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:03] Speaker B: You know, and today and, you know, he keeps picking that shit. He's getting on there and every posted about Michael White or anything even. It hasn't, has nothing to do with the situation. He's on there just bashing and bashing and bashing and bashing. [00:09:15] Speaker A: I didn't even know that dude existed until this, all this stuff happened. I didn't even know he was around. It seems like that's why he's, that's why he's doing that, so he could get his name out there. [00:09:23] Speaker B: That's what is. That's what they, that's what it's really like. And if he probably thought Mike White wasn't gonna do shit because, bro, it's Michael White, bro, Michael White is like one of the most humble guys I ever met. You don't, you know, every time I talk to him, it's always goofy laughing shit. You know what I mean? It's not like. [00:09:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:38] Speaker B: It's not a fighting. It's not, you know, every time we talk, he's always talking about, you know, we always talk about positive things. [00:09:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:44] Speaker B: It has nothing to do with. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Wow, dude. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Or I don't like this guy or nothing, you know? And, like, for Mike White to go there and slap him voice, it's. It's not because or nothing, you know, bro, he just got fed up. [00:09:55] Speaker A: He had to really get pissed off for that to happen, you're saying. [00:09:58] Speaker B: He kept telling him, hey, dude, leave me alone. You know me. It's just like if you, me have a fallout, bro, and then you go there and you start tagging me and shit, like, you know, talking shit, like, what's gonna happen, you know? I mean, I know a lot of people, like, don't resort to violence, but goddamn, sometimes violence is only thing that fixes anything, man. You know? So, like, because same example, like your kid, you know, you try to be nice, your kid. Let them do whatever they want. They run all over you, bro, as soon as you fucking spanked her ass or put them in their place, it stops. Yeah, some people fucking need that, dude, because they haven't had it. [00:10:29] Speaker A: No. Damn. Probably all their lives, too. And then, like. [00:10:33] Speaker B: Like, sucks, man. I can't even. I probably won't be able to get chicken tacos from Georgia. Hey, George. Badass, bro. But I can say this time, he was. He was in the wrong, bro. And I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna back up somebody that's in the wrong, bro. You know, he's my friend and all that, but. And too, you can't put somebody to choose between. I'm not that kind of person, bro. I'm not gonna be like, you know what? Fuck Michael White. He fucking slapped you. And. Yeah, and now I don't like him. Like, hey, come on, bro. Like, you deserve it, man. I love you, bro. But you fucking deserved it, man. [00:11:04] Speaker A: You know, somebody says, can we all just get along, ruben? [00:11:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't exist in core. [00:11:13] Speaker A: I don't think exists anywhere. But corpus, man. It's just. You could see it everywhere. I'll faith they put it out in the open. It's like, it's not. [00:11:20] Speaker B: It's more hate than being good, bro. You know? I mean, is that's why they want. Like I said, I won't get involved. I don't want to look like. Like all this dudes, nothing but drama. He doesn't start shading. But since they involved me in it today and my wife got mad, my. [00:11:33] Speaker A: Wife says, oh, you wipe up, man. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah. She was like, well, why did. You know? I can't. I remember the whole thing was a long shit paragraph, but she was saying, like, they gave, you know, why you getting on here? And I talking shit and being hateful towards is like, we stayed out of this shit. Yeah. You know, bashing us about it. Something that. What did she say about me that. What do I know about assault? I'm a felon or whatever. Like. [00:11:56] Speaker A: That'S crazy. Yeah, a spaghetti. Spaghetti gate and pastel Pesco gate, pastel acolytes, pastelakhe. It's the end of the world, bro. Yeah, it's crazy, man. That. The food drama that's going on. [00:12:14] Speaker B: It's sad, bro. And it's not just us. It's. It's a lot of shit, bro. Everybody's been beefing with each other. I don't even know why. [00:12:22] Speaker A: It's just something to do. Like, I saw a post on one of the corpus Christi groups, and it was like, effort. Just argue. Like, that was the poll. [00:12:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:12:29] Speaker A: Cuz they argue anyway, right? And he's like, just. Just argue about, you know, nothing better. [00:12:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I get a lot of people, like, trying to bash me and shit from my videos. Whatever. All these doing got no gloves. Like, motherfucker, I'm gonna eat it after the video. It's all right, man. [00:12:44] Speaker A: Like, I was gonna mention that to you. Like, do people say stuff about all the time? [00:12:48] Speaker B: Oh, there's probably beard hair. Beard hairs all over the food. [00:12:52] Speaker A: Have you ever got a complaint like that? [00:12:54] Speaker B: No, I do. Thank God I haven't broke. [00:12:55] Speaker A: Wow. That's so crazy. [00:12:56] Speaker B: Thank God I haven't, man. But we do wear all the proper shit while we're open, you know, I mean, we got to, you know, me. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Yeah.

No, sir, we have to come, you know, just to get you whenever we get you. But it's. It's always been good. But we always keep everything clean. Yeah, I try to keep everything clean because I think it's embarrassing to have dirty shit, bro. Even though in the videos, like, the grill looks all ugly and shit. But, yeah, it's not because we don't clean it well. It's clean every day when we start it. Just. Man, giving away my secret, bro. [00:13:49] Speaker A: I put the place looks old, like, place is kind of old. [00:13:51] Speaker B: Place does all the equipment. I bought a brand new. It's all mine. [00:13:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:54] Speaker B: You know, but, uh, I put a big ass fucking piece of pork lard on that motherfucker, spray it all around the grill, get all that fat in there, and then that's why it turns real dark. Yeah, that's why the food has flavorful. I know I get people to always say shit that, oh, you know, I had made one or two people say, like, it needs more salt. He's more pepper. I'm like, man, do we got salt and pepper packets right there? I don't believe in drowning my food and too much seasoning. Like, the sabor de la carne, it tastes better. You know what I mean? It just, when it's even. [00:14:25] Speaker A: You make your own seasoning or on. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Some things I do. Yeah, some stuff I do. I got my own seasoning for chicken. I got my own. See, I got all kinds of shit. Yeah, I just, you know. [00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah. So on your. On your menu, like, do you have. You consider putting, like, pictures or something like that?

[00:21:15] Speaker A: Like christian shit, like in the church or whatever. [00:21:18] Speaker B: We'll tell you a story real quick, man. This really did happen, man. When I was a kid, I think I was like in 19th grade because I kept failing and shit. And my parents had to put me in a fucking private school because I was getting in trouble. [00:21:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:31] Speaker B: And you were the old school starter jackets back in the days. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:21:36] Speaker B: I had a badass raiders went around with the big ass pocket, right. And I left my gun, the jacket. And I had, uh. It was like a private school. They had everybody in one room and everybody was gonna go to the. To the gym. [00:21:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:53] Speaker B: And, uh, my ex, which is my first wife, baby mom or whatever, you know, we were in school together. She was. Hey, let me use your jacket. It's like, alright, so. Didn't know the gun was in my jacket, so I grabbed the bottom of the jacket, the gun fell out. [00:22:06] Speaker A: Oh. [00:22:06] Speaker B: In front of everybody in class. It was a glock 17, dude. It fell out in front of everybody. I was like, dude, I was so scared. Every time I grabbed the gun, the gun kept falling out of my head. [00:22:14] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:22:15] Speaker B: And the fucking teacher walks in and he goes and he picks it up. He looks at me, he tells everybody, go to the gym. He sits there. This. This sorry dude preached to me and told me that if. If I let him keep the gun and. And that if I start going to church on Wednesdays and Sundays, that he won't tell my parents and that, you know, he'll forgive it, whatever. So, you know, I was young. Like, fuck, yeah, I want to go to jail for fuck that. Okay, fine. You know, so I did a truth was, my parents, they had a lot of money back then, right? They were paying for tuition. They had it for the six months. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:51] Speaker B: When that six months ended, he called my mom in there and he told her about the gun. Said, if you say anything, I'll report the gun, whatever. The muffler used me for my tuition, fool. For the money. And then kicked me out of school for that. Oh, yeah. And dude, I know a lot of stuff about certain people, which kind of like, that's what pushed me away from religion. I believe in God. [00:23:11] Speaker C: I'm. [00:23:11] Speaker B: There's a God. Not saying that. Yeah, but the whole devil thing with Elvago, everybody's like all that, dude, I had customers all manda. [00:23:17] Speaker A: They said your food was satanic. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah, they say. They say tanning, bro. It just. [00:23:20] Speaker A: Cuz it's. [00:23:21] Speaker B: It's barbecue, it's fire. You know what I mean? Like, I don't think I can pull a dude standing in front of the fire. That's kind of, you know, far fetched, you know? So I don't feature the otto fool. You know me, it looks badass. It's like a badass cartoon devil, you know what I mean? And all that. Do satanic whatever, sacrifice ghost and eaters, everybody. [00:23:38] Speaker A: I can't believe that they said not. [00:23:40] Speaker B: To go eat there because, yeah, don't eat there. It's satanic. I'm like, oh, my God, it's just fucking food, man. [00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker C: So that whole church story was gonna go somewhere. [00:23:57] Speaker B: Touched me one time. [00:23:59] Speaker C: I was like, that's why he doesn't. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Like, yeah, no, dude. So I just saw a lot of people did. A lot of people that are on it, like super hardcore. Not every. I'm not not everybody, bro. I'm just saying, like, my experience with a few people that I know, whatever, and they're not really good people, man. [00:24:13] Speaker A: Yeah, me. Yeah, man. I used to be like, going to church all the time. Like real church, holy roller and all that stuff. Like, it's like the same thing. You just. You see things and you're just like. You get. You're just like, I don't want to be around this no more. And eventually it got to a point where it's like, it's not for me. Because they want you to be a certain way, kind of like this. Like in the school, they want you to be a certain way. But you try it out and you're like, this ain't. It's not working because I can't do that. Be that way. I tried it. I don't fit. [00:24:42] Speaker C: They want you to be blind to it. [00:24:46] Speaker B: But to like. What bothers me about the whole religion thing. I can't live that life, bro. I'm a fucking sinner, man. I love being a sinner, you know, that's what I do. I can. I can't pretend to be fake like a lot of them do, and be all like, yeah, try and tell everybody how to be this and that and then live a whole different life. I can't do that. So I might as well just be. [00:25:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:04] Speaker B: The way I am. And if I burn for it, I guess. Yeah, we're all gonna burn anyways. [00:25:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Some people get real legalistic, like, oh, you believe in God, you're supposed to do this, or. Oh, yeah. So, wasteful flavors. They did do your logo, right? [00:25:22] Speaker B: No, um, the original logo for the beer thing where we came up with the devil was job. Mosquito. [00:25:29] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:31] Speaker B: Mike from wasteful, he helped me put the barbecue one together. Like, he's the one that did, like, put the logo together. He wasn't the original designer of, like, the one. Yeah, the concept came from me and Joe Moscow. [00:25:44] Speaker A: Yeah, you mentioned that guy last time. [00:25:45] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's a bad motherfucker, man. He's going through some problems right now. Family stuff. So as he hasn't really been really able to do my stuff and, you know, understand, man, you know, I mean, things happen. Life, you know, it's. It's some serious shit. So, you know, things happen. But, uh, you know, I was glad that Mike was able to. To do that for me from wasteful. He did a badass job of putting it together. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Cool. [00:26:05] Speaker B: You know, and then Keith Romero, he did the Elvago burger. The guy holding up the. Oh, yeah, the burger and shit. Yeah, it's like in reference to a big boy that, uh. Oh, they got the. The big boy, they're holding the burger. That's where the idea for that came out. Holding it up. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then, like I said, there's a bunch of different designs of the Vagodevo whatever. I always thought it was just cool and it just, you know, something different. [00:26:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:34] Speaker B: Eye catching. So I did that. [00:26:35] Speaker A: What's. What's something that you want. That you want for that you think people should know about, like you and your. Or your restaurant that. That maybe they don't know about? You know what I mean? Cuz they say a lot of stuff and there's hearsay and stuff like that. What's something that you can tell them, you know, I mean. [00:26:50] Speaker B: Hmm. I have no idea, man. Cuz I really don't hide nothing from nobody. Everything's always put up front. [00:26:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:00] Speaker B: You know, everything's made fresh daily. Like, I put a lot of work into cooking. Everything. And it's. It's a lot. It's a lot of work, man. [00:27:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:09] Speaker B: You know, a lot of people complain that I don't stay open later, but, man, I started five in the morning and, you know, five in the morning till six, seven o'clock at night. And plus, you know, being there to clean and stuff. Like, I don't do the cleaning day. Do it, whatever. But in the day, I'm just like, yeah, I want to get the fuck out of there. Because the smell of the food all day and the heat and then it's a lot behind the scenes, man. It's not just, you know, just everybody thinks, oh, you don't open till twelve. Like, this is not even shit. Early in the morning, man. [00:27:38] Speaker A: You know, dude, I saw that breakfast. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Yeah, all the vegetables by hand, bread, everything by hand.

It's hard, bro. It's hard, man. It's a lot of. It's a lot of shit. And I'm just glad that I got it down to, you know, I always get done right about 1140, 1145. Like, right more about. Sometimes. No, sometimes I still doing stuff. I'm glad I got my. My brother over here. He watches the fire for me in the pit, cuz. No, dude, shit, I couldn't, you know, I couldn't do it, man. So he's been pretty much doing, you know, all the cooking for the briskets, you know, for me. [00:28:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Y'all got the pit out there? I hadn't seen it.

It's cool, though, because all the ones, it's sad, bro, but the ones that everybody talks shit on, I get paid for those videos. [00:31:29] Speaker A: No, come on. You get paid for. Tick tock. Seriously. [00:31:33] Speaker B: Facebook to bro, a lot of. A lot of stuff. Facebook. The money I make, that's what I usually, you know, I use that to get back, like, when I do for the kids, whatever. Like, you know, I mean, it's just extra money that I got. Whatever. That's why I do things to help everybody out and stuff and just put out something positive. You know me. Everybody's always just so selfish. And I'm your top secret. [00:31:55] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. [00:31:57] Speaker B: They're cool as shit, man. I really like them. They. They did a food giveaway. I hope it was me that inspired them to do that. [00:32:02] Speaker A: Cool. [00:32:02] Speaker B: They gave away brisket, hot dogs for kids, whatever night, you know, I think that's, you know, just some nice for the kids, bro. Like, I remember when I was a kid, like, I would have thought that would have been badass to go somewhere and get, you know, free food or something like that. Only one time that happened in fucking. No, man. My ghetto ass family, bro. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Wow. [00:32:19] Speaker B: This church was having a big old pizza party. Whatever. Monkey took us. Whatever we know we ate. Soon as we're done, vomito's, let's go. And they were all looking. It's like, hey, you're supposed to save for church. I'm looking at my uncle. He's like, no, fuck that. Disco. We got to go. We ate there. Ate a shitload of pizza, me and my cousin. This shit didn't. Right after we got done eating, we fucking live, dude. Like, bro. And then my friend told me, do you should have stayed, man. He was, you won that raffle for a football. I was like, oh, shit, let us stay. [00:32:44] Speaker A: Mac on Duke says I've gotten death threats on TikTok. The comment section is toxic. [00:32:49] Speaker B: It is, bro. Man, it's like. It's sad, bro. Some dude fucking 7000 miles away is fucking threatening, motherfucker. [00:32:57] Speaker A: It's cool that you get monetized on TikTok, man. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah, it's hard to fill out something. It was a joke. I filled it out. [00:33:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:05] Speaker B: And then all of a sudden, fucking. I get, like, $143 and shit like that. [00:33:09] Speaker A: That's cool, man. [00:33:10] Speaker B: The most I made on Facebook was, like, $668. [00:33:13] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:33:14] Speaker B: That's the most I've ever made. [00:33:15] Speaker A: Is it a post that you, like, you boosted? [00:33:17] Speaker B: No deal. I don't boost none of that. [00:33:19] Speaker A: It's all organic. [00:33:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just organic. Whatever it goes on by, how many reactions, how many comments. Now I know why a lot of people, like, like, start an argument they're getting paid for. You know what I mean? Like, you know, you get paid for that shit, dude. [00:33:31] Speaker A: No wonder what's going on here. [00:33:34] Speaker B: So. [00:33:35] Speaker A: Wow. That's cool. Yeah. I was wondering how did. Because I've been monetized on YouTube, on my other channel, just through, like, views and stuff, but I never really. That's kind of why I got off of tick tock and Facebook, having the live stream on there because I really didn't know. But, like, just hearing from. From you, like, being monetized. That's pretty cool. [00:33:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:54] Speaker A: I wonder how many views like you. How many views do you usually. [00:33:57] Speaker B: I don't think it goes by views. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Okay. [00:33:59] Speaker B: I think it does. I really don't know how it works. When we're done, I'll show you on my phone. You can check it. Mexican brownies. Fancy as monetized. I just say it has something to do with money. That's all I know. [00:34:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:34:16] Speaker B: And if it stars and bonuses, like stars. I don't know. None of that shit, bro. None of that. I just know how to cook food. [00:34:24] Speaker A: And wonder you. No wonder you shout out Mike for putting up for you. Could that video had, like, what million. [00:34:30] Speaker B: 800 8147 thousand views on one video? [00:34:34] Speaker A: Wow. [00:34:35] Speaker B: I had like a shitload, like 300 some comments and stuff. But I couldn't get paid for that one because the song that I use, bottles in the body. Oh, it like, excludes it from it. [00:34:44] Speaker A: Like a copyright. Copyright. [00:34:46] Speaker B: Because I know if you hit a million views, Facebook page, you $10,000. So you hit a million views. That's what it said on the thing. I don't know if it's true or not, so. But that's what it says on the side. [00:34:56] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yo, so tick tock. It goes by views and engagement, but you don't get paid. Dang, man. That's awesome. You're getting paid through TikTok, bro. Is there anything you want to discuss? We were talking about last time. [00:35:10] Speaker B: I think it's Javier's turn to talk. [00:35:12] Speaker A: It's turn to talk. How's business for you, Javier? [00:35:17] Speaker C: Business is good, man. You know, it keeps going. I stay busy every day. [00:35:23] Speaker A: Is there drama in that on that? [00:35:25] Speaker C: Nothing like that, man. And I'm glad, bro. [00:35:27] Speaker B: Cuz I wouldn't last with a tape measure. [00:35:33] Speaker C: Yeah, man. I couldn't do it, bro. I don't know how. [00:35:36] Speaker B: How he stays up with the death rates, bro. Fucking draw a body in chalk in Eric. That's gonna be useful. [00:35:45] Speaker C: I try to stay away from all of that, man. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:48] Speaker C: I just try to be happy, you know? [00:35:49] Speaker A: Do you get business through Facebook? [00:35:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that's my main source of advertisement. That's where I advertise, mainly on Facebook, you know, flyers, too, and everything. [00:36:01] Speaker A: Pay for ads on Facebook sometimes. [00:36:03] Speaker C: Sometimes I boost my post, but not really a lot of them. I get a lot of shares from friends and stuff. You know. I have a lot of supporters out there. They share my posts. Yeah, I have incentives sometimes where you'll get a bonus if a referral bonus, you know, I get a contract. You get a percentage of that contract. It was closed on, you know, little. Little incentives for people to share, you know, help me advertise and stuff. [00:36:30] Speaker A: What side of town do you usually? [00:36:33] Speaker C: Everywhere. [00:36:33] Speaker A: Everywhere? [00:36:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I go to rock from Rockport all the way to Alice. I've gone as far as Alice Kingsville. Yeah, I go everywhere, man, you know. You know, money's money, you know, works, work. Gotta get it done. [00:36:46] Speaker A: Is there any crazy stories, like, from being out there? [00:36:49] Speaker C: Yeah, man. Yeah. I've gotten a big old mace cannon sprayed on me. I'm sorry about that. [00:36:55] Speaker A: A maze can spray it on. [00:36:56] Speaker C: Not sprayed on me, but pulled out on me, man. You know, I want to go do a knock on the door. I got sent on a bed. I was working with some other people, you know, that subbed out some contracts to me and go knock on the door. And nobody answered. So I turned around and I'm on the phone texting these guys, hey, you know what? Nobody's answering. Whatever. Next thing, I turn around and I have a mace cannon pointed at me, and I was like, you know, I'm just here to give a bid, you know, it was like, maybe about 530, and I. And it's like, man, you know, I understand, you know, my appearance, you know, but, you know, give me a chance to speak, you know, once. Once we start talking and. Yeah, you know, you get a little bit of feel out of me. [00:37:29] Speaker A: And so they just did that by looking at you. [00:37:32] Speaker C: Had my back turned to him when they, you know, I didn't even hear him open the door, you know. [00:37:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:36] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. That. That's the scariest one for me, you. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Know, but, wow, it's crazy, bro. [00:37:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:43] Speaker C: A lot of judgmental people out there. [00:37:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I'm just looking at y'all's tattoos. I'm like, dang. Yeah, it's funny. Because you got tattoos, and so. But you also have businesses. [00:37:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:53] Speaker A: You know what I mean? [00:37:53] Speaker C: We know what we're doing, you know, like, when I first started, that was, like, my biggest fear, you know, my appearance, you know, nobody's gonna trust me, man. Nobody's going to give me a $1,000 or $10,000, you know, I closed on some pretty good contracts, and. And they gave me half upfront sometimes, and sometimes they don't. And. But, Matt, for somebody, you know, to give a person that looks like me, you know, a check for, like, ten, $15,000, stop doing anything work, you know? Yeah, it shows something. Yeah, I explained the job thoroughly. You know, my contracts are in place. You know, I make sure you feel 100% comfortable with everything, and, you know, and then at the end, you know, it comes out good for him, you know? [00:38:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So you said at the beginning, like, you were kind of, like, were you hesitant because of your appearance? Like, how did you find yourself getting over that? And finally just, I guess you needed money, right? [00:38:46] Speaker C: I just go do it, man. You know, I had a couple of other friends that were contracting also, and I saw the money they were making, and it's like, you know what? I'm tired of just, you know, I was. I was working in nine to five. I was welding. You know, I was making good money, but I wanted more money, you know, I wanted to make some more money. And the chances out there, you know, why not, you know? [00:39:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:06] Speaker C: Everybody has the same opportunities, you know, it's just up to you to take it, you know? But that's the hardest thing. But, you know, you got to do it. If not, you're just going to stay behind. [00:39:14] Speaker A: Yeah. You're not going to make money. Yeah. You got to be on the market. Did you learn. Did you learn what you're doing now? Did you learn it, like. Like, on the job or somebody showed? [00:39:22] Speaker C: I've been to, you know, I grew up poor, so I had to make everything myself. You know, I had to make it work. You know, I saw friends that had everything, you know, they were a little bit more blessed financially than we were, so they had all the cool stuff. They had all the toys, and, you know, sometimes they would throw them away. I go pick them up and fix them, and, you know, I had duct tape on it or superglue or rope or something, but it worked, you know? [00:39:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:43] Speaker C: You know, it just went on from there. I knew I could fix anything, you know, there's nothing that I can't fix, and I can't make. [00:39:48] Speaker A: Wow. So crazy. [00:39:49] Speaker C: Yeah, man. And that just. It just goes from there. And, you know, I went off the wrong way in the beginning, but, you know, I kind of realized, you know, I'm gonna. It's taking me nowhere. So, you know, I started working. Started building houses. I framed houses for like, eight years, and then I went from there to. To welding. I welded for like, 15 years into the whole thing. You know, it's just building. It's all measurements, putting stuff together. [00:40:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:14] Speaker C: You got to have the mind, you know, the. To have a vision to see what you're doing. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:17] Speaker C: And, you know, it's. It's. For me, it's not hard, you know, some people can't see it, but. [00:40:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it's crazy. [00:40:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:40:23] Speaker A: So your kids, the. Your kids have more than what you. [00:40:25] Speaker C: Had when you were definitely, definitely. They weren't. Yeah, they. They definitely do. They weren't spoiled, you know, cuz me growing up didn't have a lot also, you know, and we had kids young, you know, we were learning as they were growing up, you know. [00:40:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:40] Speaker C: We were growing up as they were growing up, so. [00:40:42] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:40:43] Speaker C: Yeah. And, you know, so they didn't have everything, you know, but they had a lot more than what we did, and they're grateful for it. They didn't grow up spoiled, and they didn't grow up with the big head expecting everything, you know, they're. That my children are very grateful for everything they've had. Yeah. [00:40:57] Speaker A: So still learn, like, the lesson of hard work and working for what you. [00:41:00] Speaker B: Yes. [00:41:01] Speaker A: Would you say that, like, in teaching your kids to. To work for. Work for them? Yeah, yeah. Instead of just, like, expecting it to be handed to entitled entitlement. [00:41:11] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, for sure they do, man. They. They've learned everything and. Pretty cool, man. [00:41:17] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what's up. And your kids work for you, too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Having your kids work for you. Yeah. [00:41:26] Speaker C: Get to spend time with them, do it them all day, like you're their boss at home and that work. [00:41:29] Speaker B: Yeah, pick on my kids all time. Just fucking with them, talking shit to them. Back in my day, we used to do like this, and they're like, okay, dad, we don't want to hear about the Stone age. [00:41:44] Speaker A: Like, the Stone age. Yeah, the dinosaur. [00:41:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But I got blessed. I got. I got good kids, man. They're all good. You know, they get on my fucking nerves. Yeah. [00:41:57] Speaker C: They don't got kids all over the place. [00:41:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:59] Speaker C: They don't got a big old looking rap sheet. [00:42:02] Speaker B: You know what I never. I never had to really, like, my kids weren't the type that you go somewhere, they're all over the place, disrespectful, and then they sit down, they're quiet, they don't say anything. [00:42:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Values in the family. [00:42:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Yeah. I think what we always wanted to bring up, that we're having a father in the home. Like, I think it because you got to discipline your kids, and it's different one when a mom does. I'm not saying there's nothing with single mothers or whatever, but I think having both of them in the house. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's more. Yeah, it's more bigger thing for. Especially if it's a boy, you know? [00:42:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:37] Speaker B: Cuz a boy is a little bit more hard to control for a woman because he wants to do what he wants gonna do. I mean, and daughters, you know, I. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Mean, that's a different story. [00:42:48] Speaker C: Setting a standard when you have daughters. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:51] Speaker C: They're learning what a man is supposed to be by watching dad, you know? So, I mean, it's. However the dad is, nine times out of the ten the daughter is gonna marry like that. So you're setting the example. [00:43:01] Speaker B: You. [00:43:01] Speaker C: What kind of man do you want your daughter to marry? You know? That's what makes it tough, because you got to make all these decisions. [00:43:08] Speaker A: Yeah. You got to make sure. Yeah, for sure, man. And I think the mother would show them how to be a wife. [00:43:14] Speaker C: I mean, the same thing with the mothers. You know, they're showing their sons how to. What they should. What a woman should be. [00:43:21] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:43:22] Speaker C: They married. They married their mom. You know, no matter how you want to look at it, you see all those little things in there that your wife is just like your mother. And sometimes it's like the wife don't want to admit it. In a good way. [00:43:39] Speaker B: Yeah. How they take care of you, what they do for you. Yeah, I'm lucky, bro. My wife, she does do. She does everything for me, man. [00:43:47] Speaker C: That's what makes a long relationship. [00:43:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I give her hell. [00:43:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:51] Speaker B: I'm a hard person to deal with sometimes. Rotico, hard headed, stubborn. [00:43:57] Speaker A: You think. You think that like. Like our culture, that. That there's. There's people more likely to stay. To stay together? You know what I mean? As opposed to, like, not anymore, bro. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Like, much while back, me and my wife were there, you know, we hugged and kissed, whatever, you know, kind of kissing for a little bit right there. And my daughter watches, like, y'all got a room? Go over there. I say, you know, what? I said, yeah. I go, yeah, you're lucky to see something like this. I go, because you probably never gonna see this in your lifetime. People don't last no more, bro. You know me. It's sad, but people don't. They just don't last no more, man. [00:44:33] Speaker A: I wonder why those values want to wave, like, for me. [00:44:36] Speaker B: Honestly, think, dude, because if you believe. If you think about it, a lot of people are real selfish. They only care about themselves and when they only care about yourselves, dude, relationships all sacrifice, you know? You know, I got to get up and do this for my family. If I was. If I cared about myself, like, oh, my well being, I'm not gonna go out there and do this. This because it's too much stress or whatever. Because owning your own business, bro, that's. You're, like, fucking shooting yourself every fucking day. You know what I mean? Cuz? It's like, man, am I gonna make this money today? Am I gonna be able to pay this bill? And you already got letters from the city. A fire permit for 150, another for the water for another 275. And I know to clean the vents for the. And I know you got to do it, but $700 to, you know, $400 clean, and then $300 for the sticker and then 100 something for something else, you know? Yeah, they always want to upcharge everything and, like, God damn, fucking make it one time. [00:45:34] Speaker C: That's all your money, man. [00:45:35] Speaker B: And I feel bad because I got a lot of parents hitting me up to sponsor their kids. Little league stuff, whatever. And I want to, but I. Dude, I got maybe, like, maybe about 2025, maybe a parents. And they're all my cousin. I feel bad because I can't just do this one and don't do so, you know, like a. If they need food cooked, whatever, I won't charge nothing. They can. They won't have a fundraiser. Just bring me everything. I'll cook everything for y'all free of charge. And, you know, you want to do fundraise for your kids little league teams, I'll do it. I've been doing it for benefits, and a lot of people in a. Dude, corpus is cold road. I get customers to go in there, be like, am, how much will you charge me? Cook, you know, six, seven briskets. That's a. Was it for. Oh, it's for this. A funeral, or it's for this or it's for that? You know, I was like, well, just. Just buy the stuff. I'll cook for you. Like, you're not gonna charge me anything you know, there's some people charming like a, like, how do you expect that. How do you expect that family to raise money for the kids, for their team or whatever they're gonna do, you know what I mean? Again, which is gonna help the kids stay out of trouble. They're doing sports, you know, they're trying to do something positive, you know. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:41] Speaker B: So, like, I'm not gonna charge. Just bring it. I'll cook it, and then, you know, we'll just go from there. [00:46:46] Speaker A: Wow, bro. So people. So some people take advantage of that and. And try to get some money out of it. [00:46:52] Speaker B: Is one guy. He does and flower bluff so many people. But I did from twice already where I cook everything for them, for the. It's for the kids that, uh, like, you know, they don't have no money to play whatever and stuff like that. It's like a little. Little League team or something. And I cook from twice, you know what I mean? He's. How much you gonna charge me? He tried to give me, like three $400 and not. I can charge you nothing, man. He was all like, do here, you just take it. I said, no, I'm not gonna take it, man. Because that's what his other guy that left him hanging was gonna charge me. [00:47:24] Speaker A: Wow. [00:47:24] Speaker B: It was a couple pork butts. It wouldn't even that much. I was like, I'll just do Freeman. Don't worry about it. [00:47:29] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:47:31] Speaker B: I'm already cooking my pits already on, bro. I gotta do season and trim it, though. It don't take much, you know? You don't mean my. My pit holds up to maybe 1215 briskets, and we cook like six, seven a day, so I got plenty of room, you know. [00:47:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:44] Speaker B: So it doesn't. It doesn't take nothing for us just to do that, you know? Yeah, it's nothing, you know. [00:47:49] Speaker A: That's crazy, bro. [00:47:50] Speaker B: It's going anyway. It's not like I have to use this much amount of wood for this piece of meter does, you know? [00:47:53] Speaker A: Just some people won't do that. Some people don't do that, bro, because. [00:47:56] Speaker B: Nobody cares anymore, bro. [00:47:58] Speaker C: See an opportunity to make money. [00:48:02] Speaker A: Do you think that because they're. They're in more debt and they just trying to pay other bills or just greed, bro. [00:48:07] Speaker C: It's just greed. [00:48:08] Speaker B: It's just greed. [00:48:08] Speaker C: That's like the new culture. [00:48:09] Speaker B: Agree. [00:48:10] Speaker C: Everybody wants, everybody's greedy. [00:48:11] Speaker B: So August 9, this Friday, we're doing a school supply drive. Whatever we can give away a bunch of free school supplies. And I had reached out to I'm not gonna say who it is, but I reached out to somebody. Some. Hey, man, you want to donate some. Some meat, whatever. Some pork. Pork butts. It's for free for the kids, whatever. You know, I'll put your logo on there, and I'll tell everybody you donated whatever. And he comes back with the price. This is the best I can do. You're fucking rich, and you got all this shit, you know, going on, and you're gonna fuckin. You can't even donate. Like, it's like, maybe, like four pork butts. He could have donated whatever. But another friend of mine, Santiago, he fucking hit me up a bro. I donate those pork butts if you want. He doesn't even have a business, bro. [00:48:55] Speaker A: Oh, you know. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Means I got anything you got to do with the kids, and there's been a lot of people to reach out to me. Anything you need for kids, like, hey, like out, you know, we'll donate it. We'll help you out, whatever. [00:49:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:04] Speaker B: You know, and so I even had. I even had people hit me up trying to watch their money. No, no, man. You know, trying to get like that. You know what I mean? Like, we can say, you know, you did this much and anything. I ain't trying to get involved in. No, no. I'm trying to stay clean. I'm trying to fucking just do right. And that's why I keep doing positive things. It just to be a positive. [00:49:28] Speaker A: How easy is. How easy it is it to go back into that? What? [00:49:32] Speaker B: Maddie, I could have done it today if I wanted to. You know, to mean, like I said, it's like. [00:49:35] Speaker A: It's that easy? [00:49:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Fuck, yeah. Do you mean it's easy to do fuck up? It's harder to do everything the right way. [00:49:41] Speaker C: You don't forget how to tie your shoes. [00:49:43] Speaker A: And it's like, when you do it the right way, you still getting hit, like, charges and all this. Not like charges, but, like, city charges or taxes and all this other stuff. [00:49:51] Speaker B: When you do, everything's there. Everything is like a roadblock. You. You think you're doing good, and boom, here comes. You got to pay this permit. Oh, and then some later on. Oh, you got to do this, you got to pay this, and then you got to pay that, and then you got to pay taxes, and then, you know, you got deal with Ir's, and then it's just. It's a lot, bro. It's. It's stressful, man. [00:50:09] Speaker A: Yeah, right on. You guys in the chat, come on. We still got about maybe ten more minutes left. Leave a couple comments, questions. I'm gonna pick a winner here before we go from the comment section. Thanks you. Thanks a lot, you guys, for watching. We got twelve people in the chat. Just put a, put a question or something. Appreciate you guys. Yeah. So it's just easy to go back into that, huh? [00:50:28] Speaker B: And it's very easy. Mandy, you know, I have a friend of mine, he's like, he's like a dad to me, dude. Freddle Friedle spirit. I love that dude, man. I remember when I was young, when I was all fucked up and shit. He's always telling me, he goes, you know what's tough, man? The same shit like on that one movie was like, get your ass out to work every day and see who's tough. And this isn't that. You got to start doing it. And he was right, man. I said he was right, bro. It's, it's, it's easy to do bad, man. It's. It's harder to do good. [00:50:57] Speaker A: What's driving you to stay? To stay. Not for. To keep. What's driving you from. Away from. [00:51:03] Speaker B: I don't want to have another generation of my family that's fucking broke. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:51:08] Speaker B: I don't want, I want to leave something for my, my kids to grow up into investor lies if they want, you know, investor lies into it because, you know, everybody has their dreams where what they want to do. At least if I build something big enough to where money is always coming in and it's a business just keeps growing and, you know, that they have money to help them out to. To live, you know, to me, because things are getting more expensive, is getting more crazy and shit. And I don't want my kids to struggle like I did, you know? [00:51:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:36] Speaker B: So I work shitty jobs, bro. When I was younger, I didn't have a choice. And, like, I wasn't smart like him. I couldn't build, you know, to me and my family. I was the youngest grandson at the time, so I was a neighbor, my grandfather, my dad and my uncle and my other cousins, whatever, older. So they were there building stuff and I was the guy. We're doing a roof, whatever, all the shit. Go pick up all the nails in the floor. Go pick up all the scraps, whatever. Throwing the wool barrel and. You know what I mean? Like, I did all the. The grunt work, you know what I mean? So I never sat there and learned how to build things and shit like that, you know? [00:52:09] Speaker A: So, yeah, the. So do you. Do you think your kids are gonna take over? Y'all's businesses when y'all finish. [00:52:16] Speaker B: I hope so, Mandy. [00:52:17] Speaker A: You don't think so? [00:52:19] Speaker C: No, I hope not. Honestly. [00:52:20] Speaker A: Really? [00:52:21] Speaker C: They got their own endeavors right now. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:52:24] Speaker C: So I hope they. They go strong with what they got going on, because this is kind of. [00:52:31] Speaker A: You kind of, like, inspiring them to do what they want, is that. [00:52:33] Speaker C: That's why I went into. That's not the main reason, but one of the reasons is because to show that they can do what they want, they don't have to follow a line. You don't have to do what's expected, you know, and they can still be successful on their own. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:45] Speaker C: Because everybody wants you to do this. Go to work, got a job, you know, and then do what I say at work. But, you know, you don't have to do that. You know, there's ups and downs with having your own business, but it's. [00:52:54] Speaker B: It's. [00:52:54] Speaker C: It's worth it in the end. You have your freedom. You know, you don't have somebody over you telling you you're wrong all the time. You know when you know you're right. [00:53:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:01] Speaker C: People believe belittling you. You know, it happens all the time. And, you know, my kids, you know, they're heading that way. You know, they're gonna be business owners. [00:53:09] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:53:10] Speaker C: You know? [00:53:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:11] Speaker C: That's their goals, you know? [00:53:12] Speaker A: Are some of y'all's kids, like, trying to go the wrong, I guess, the wrong path or the wrong direction? [00:53:17] Speaker C: No. No. Honestly, they're not. [00:53:19] Speaker A: No. [00:53:20] Speaker C: You know, everybody's made mistakes. You know, they made a couple mistakes along the way, but not definitely, man. We made enough. [00:53:26] Speaker A: How do you know for sure, though? Like, how do you. Because you believe in the way you showing them. [00:53:31] Speaker C: Yeah. And our kids are honest with us. They've. All my kids, they've always come to me, even when they screw up and they go do stuff they're not supposed to, even though they didn't get caught, they've always come and told me, you know, I would have never known anything, but they still come and tell us, you know?
