What are you gonna have us eat?

It's called the Poleman meal?

The Poleman meal.

Poh, Now, what was going on during the time of you eating the Poleman?

The struggle? We didn't even know we were struggling. We were just living.

Was just living.

So is it like your mom you're or is it like after you're an adult you was on the Poleman?

It's definitely something my mama put together.

Okay, so what are what is the ingredients of the dish?

As it's not many agrees, it's ground beef, or.

Turkey, right, is an option.

There's that option, and then there's can tomato sauce. And then there's what we call the Louisiana trinity, right, and it's going to be green pepper, celery and onions. That's the trinity Louisiana.

So when you were saying that in your notes, you were actually gonna cut it up.

Well, we got what they called season blind. I told you about Season blin. That's an option because they have the tree.

Oh so you ain't gonna do the purperson.

Yeah, we don't do it, but we don't use that season.

Okay, okay, okay. And then what else is in the dish?

And then there's corn and that's it?

But you messed.

Oh no, no cornbread.

That's what I was gonna say. I'm excited about this dish because there's corn bread involved, like corre I do, even though I think I've never made it before. What yes, even though, but you used the box one, so don't judge me, Okay, but I'm excited because it's different from anything we've had. I think we've taped over seventy episodes at this point. No corn bread, and we've not had corn bread. Oh man, yeah, you'd be surprised. We've only had chicken on the show, like maybe twice. But yeah,

Siblings? I want to know the whole backstory.

We're gonna break it down. So single mother. Of course, father was around, but scarcely. Uh it's me I have now currently I have two sisters or three sisters a time RP to my sister just late past last year. But yeah, mom wasn't Mom was. Mom was hustling, hustling, Mom was getting it.

Is she like an entrepreneur or she was working multiple multiple jobs at that time.

Uh later on like she was, you know, managing a few things. But she was always Mom worked a lot, you know. So it's just me and the girls. And then my grandma and my grandfather lived across the street.

Okay, so they were like helping her out. And now are you the oldest, youngest you're the middle So did you ever get stuck on babysitting duty?

No, not really, my baby, we're not that far apart in age group, so you know what, we kind of babysitting each other because it was like a year or two, me and my older sister.

Your putting, then my baby she's two years younger.

Okay, So your mom had it tough. I'm not. I just became my mom.

She had it tough. Man.

Mama was working, she was.

Working mud okay.

And you were from.

Originally ch'ales, Louisiana.

Okay, okay.

And then yeah, growing up in your home she was single mom. You guys were growing up like this. Where did the inspiration to get into the entertainment business come?

Oh? Man? We okay, then tell you about Louisiana people we do. We call it.

We call it jokeson, right, And that's like we just sit around and clown on each other and crack jokes each other all day long.

That sounds like New Yorkers anybody with siblings.

So we just man, I have a very comedic family and a very we're all like all into entertainment.

But a lot of music.

A lot of music is a lot of singers on my father's side. But and they all Josus too, So yeah, it's a lot of singers. And so I was always into music entertainment and it was a church so choir, and you know, I played saxophone. I played jazz sax I played jazz band and saxophone growing up.

Yeah, I did the saxophone.

I didn't watch a bandstand. Okay, So yeah, mom was she's working. So it's like me and my cousins a lot, and we was always just you know, taking care of each other, doing things together, or me and me and the neighbors kids.

Okay, okay, So then what was the next pivot moment to kind of get you closer to where you are today? Like growing up in that environment, you're joking, You're having a lot of fun music. When what was like that next step to get out of Louisiana.

I didn't get out of Louisiana until five six years ago.

And what what was that move? Like, what what made you make that move?

It was this influencer that I met named Do Gang, And.

At that I was doing I was at that time, I had a construction business, still have it. I'm a third generation Semen finisher by trade. What third generation semens finishing?

What is that?

So lay foundations for like homes, Daddie olds, railway sidewalks.

You know we've been been. I grew up there.

I have a news clipping of me five years old with a like a hand trial with my dad, Like.

I would never think that that's awesome. So but you still have the construction company.

It's called Dirt Dallas Concrete if y'all need some work done.

But it's out in Louisiana. Okay, so you're an entrepreneur.

Of course we.

Didn't put that in the titles. How did you miss it? That's the biggest one.

I don't know how I left that out. I guess I don't think that's.

In your e p K.

It's not.

That's very much should be entrepreneur, comedian. Well, I guess fathers should be at the top. Well, you know it should be there too.

But definitely I've had my other business. I let go, but I had a low a low vultures business.

Also, what's that?

So we would hang like phone cameras, TVs, security cameras, like to check out the scanners of the checkout system, we peeling systems.

We changed those out.

It sounds like you can make money anywhere in the world skills.

And that's what I was trying to hone at that time in my life. I was looking for us a skill set that I can do anywhere because I didn't want to live in Louisiana. Why because it's so the poverty and the racism and the it's just tough.

It's tough.

And I got a glimpse of it through the TV of what you know, life could be out outside of where I was from. And then because we don't travel where I'm from, we don't like we go to Houston and Pensacola and that's it because we're right on the I. So you know, we go as far as you know money can take us. We don't make a lot of money out there, so you know, going somewhere where money

No, I'm also like I make jokes. Now, I'm like, damn, why could I have chosen cheaper city to get accustomed to Because I'm from the York that's expensive. I moved to La Now I'm just like you know what, I guess I'm just a big city girl.

I don't even know if I could survive.

I feel like I could, but then I would have like ten hustles in a week because I would be bored.

But then the hustles would be like how far they take you? Because how much money you make it. You know, it's like you gotta find like two three good ones because you can't like diversify yourself because you got to put everything into those those one or two good you know, hustles. If you don't have a regular job, it's only like four careers you can have outside of Like there's either all refinery like plant work, being like a nurse or a doctor, or like construction. I said, refining, plant works

Right, that's a huge make Louisiana sound like a Detroit or something. It sounds like very I been Detroit, boy, I've been to Detroit. I was wonder boy if this was Kelly clean this up within three minutes.

Man, Louisiana something.

Yeah.

So it's a place.

But our culture and the family, the fellowship and the food that's for food at top food, family and culture, you know, the fellowship and we got our culture is different, you know, because we don't have counties.

We have parishes.

So yeah, explain that.

So like y'all have county lines, we have parishes because you know, Louisiana doing the Louisiana purchase, you know, when they bought Louisiana into America.

However that go, you know the rest of on my history.

But they didn't establish the the you know, American waves. They kept like the French. Oh so it's parishes, you know. And I'm from Calcushue Parish.

Okay, okay, so five six years you said five six years ago, that's five five years ago. At some point you have this epiphany you're like, even though I have this business out in Louisiana, I want more, and you.

I always wanted more. Daddy was like my dad always like you're gonna be a millionaire. You're gonna be a millionaire.

Like since I was I can't tell you how far back I cannot remember him telling me that. Really, yeah, my whole life, my dad's like he was like he was I had a dream, he was going to invent something. Like he always tells me, like I had a dream he's going to invent something and that's gonna be it. And then now he's like, well, maybe it was you, Maybe it was your son. He was like, maybe your son going and I was like I'm.

Still here, Like yeah, I'm still He's like, you're getting closer to the finish line. We may have to retire your jersey next.

But let me let me, let me just push it on to the next.

Remind him of who CAFC is the remember the found of KFC. I think he didn't he didn't sell that recipe till he's like sixty five years old. Wow, And he was in the car going to every restaurant picked up this recipe and eventually got it picked up. But he was he was an old man. I always tell people that, like when my dad's like depressed or something like that. You know, well, my d my dad's now six nine, So you know, I'm gonna have to start making Joe's book.

You passed down.

But so okay, so what what happens before this transition, because something must have triggered you just pulled the trigger on the transition.

Well, I used to ask my mom all the time, like and probably like Mom, you think i'd be a good actor, Like I used to watch like my favorite actor is Don Cheetle, so I watched like him Denzel. I was a fan of Zailed for a long time. I was like, mommy, Dad.

I can act, and she's like, yeah, I'm sure, you know what I mean.

She was reassured, Like in the back of my own life, all right, I could act for sure.

I know I can act, So that's locked, you know what I mean.

So I started pursuing everything else, like music, like in the back of my life, I know.

Oh, so you you just said, okay, skip skip lessons. How do you know you can?

How did you I just emotional.

I have an emotional like placement in my heads, Like I know I can go places in my head. I feel like I've been through a lot of situations now that I'm older, I'm like, dang, I had a lot of trauma growing up, but I ain't know, you know, I had trauma or like situations where I could bring myself back to to put myself in like emotional state. Yeah, you know, I'm a cancer too, so that might be part of it. You know, y'all believe in that or not.

You can tap into your traumas and they feel really real.

And even like excitement or like joy, you know, but especially pain.

For sure.

I haven't had a chance to show that yet, but it's for sure comedy because like my whole family is comedy.

Now. Well, there's so many questions from just that statement. But when going back to your taping, how did you realize, Like when was that moment when you realized you could tap into it? Like were you under pressure and I press the girl or something you were like tapped in started crying.

It had to be something.

Oh you're from little.

Since I was little, Like man, just it's emotions has always been a part of my life. I'm really good hiding emotions too now from being so emotional as a kid. So yeah, and that I feel like that that there's your acting there, you know, from hiding, you know, hiding things.

I like that you as probably gonna sound terrible, but as a black man can say like, yeah, I have emotions or I'm emotional. I feel like guys every time I go on social media or anywhere, guys are.

Like, oh man, your girl will leave you if you cry.

You know, everybody want to be a tough guy for what. I don't know, for what.

It doesn't even make sense.

It doesn't to me. I feel like women enjoy like uh real, you know, and they then they can make their choice.

Yeah, they enjoy real.

This is what I am. This is what I'm about. Like, this is what you're gonna get. Yeah, make the decision, you know, make decision. I like him for this pros and cons, but I don't like, you know, I don't.

I don't think I can do it. Oh I really want to do with this.

It's a choice I'm making him, you know, So that's the option I give. I'm like, this is what you getting, the real?

Yeah, feel me.

That's the best way. And don't perpetrate. Never perpetrate because you're gonna get caught anyways. If you even no matter how long you perpetrate for once that year mark, you're gonna find it hard to maintain that level of.

And I had this guy tell me this is like I want to say, two months three months ago. He was like he uh, he cat fish this girl for I think a month he said, with a fake accent, say one day, just set up and was like, you know what, I'm tired. He had an England accent, like an English accent, and he's like, now I'm done with this, and she's like, where's your accent?

He faked it. I was like, oh my god, nah, he said, nah, he was over. He was he was.

Then let me tell you something because that accent that would win a lot of girls.

That's great.

The second a.

Guy with Australian accent walks on around, you're like, because you imagine like a month and he's like, psych yeah, save there's a lot of the accent also helps him look more attractive. So imagine if he was like a D plus as an accent, he.

Is he wrong?

You know, because like there's a few things women do too that make them look more attractive.

Like what you better not say it's the makeup.

I mean not well, I mean there's there's you know, wigs and you know they got the fake pants with the butts in them.

And yeah, I've been very fortunate in my life and thank God, like I'm just now learning the world of wigs because so many women are wearing them with the fake uh edges, which I honestly don't know it doesn't look attractive in real life in my opinion.

But I don't know.

Maybe I got to start with these makeup tutorials because I just giving up all the sauces and y'all scaring us as men out here because we're scared.

Now what have you seen those YouTube?

And you know what, it doesn't make sense because okay, so I wear makeup, but you know you have your Yeah, they were like layers and they bake their face.

They'll be like powder here and all that.

But I just got in trouble with my twin for not wearing enough makeup on my podcast. Yeah, so now I wear makeup. I mean I wore makeup for you today, Wow, because I usually don't.

My twins, Like, I can't believe you. What online? Did you see how terrible you looked? Put on more makeup?

Shout out to the twin.

She's a makeup artist.

Too, so oh no you got Rebecca.

Yeah, but if she does my makeup, it's way more makeup. It's way more makeup. Whenever a makeup artist, yeah, she's gonna be like, oh, you're gonna look good, but and in real life, you're gonna look like you're caked up.

I mean we in Hollywood.

I see things, yeah, you know, I mean some of them look good, some of them are cool, you know.

Yeah. Yeah, So now that you had acting off your checklists, you start focusing on music and comedy.

Why. I just love music. I love music so much.

Like I heard something one day somebody said, like music is the only thing that you can't control, like you can, like you can't stop from hearing it, Like because you can't, like you know what I mean, if you walking somewhere and something's playing, you're gonna hear it, you know what I mean, Like you might even cover your ears like after that, but you heard it already.

Yeah.

So it's like it's like so much a part of everyone's life, and it's universal.

Yeah. You know. Sometimes you can have songs like I might not know the.

Words, but I might know the song, yeah, you know, and I might be somewhere with someone who knows the words and they you know, you know.

Yeah, I love music so much.

So I started trying to find my own little niche in my own sound.

And what does that look?

Okay, you were.

Because I had a brother in at the time, uh, and he was like very influential and very influential in the city. He did, like I guess he did his own like YouTube shows back way back then.

This is nineties, so and I was just watching and he brings me in.

I'm all like, to me, we're famous rappers at the time, and this is like southern Houston rappers because my moment, I'm two years I'm two hours away from from Houston. So they're very heavily influenced on my city, so as New Orleans. So I got to like the best of them for us. Mind you, I don't have like a heavy accent, but I've also been working on not having an.

Accent for like the last five years also.

By acting, just working on my pronunciation and everything. And someone was like, pronounce, pronounce you say with your mouth, So that's what I've been doing. But I met a lot of famous artists back then. It was like zero and I'm not I'm sure if you know these artists like uh, DJ Screw he started like the whole screw scene and uh Slump Thug Mster.

Three two man, that's the switch a House.

These are like popping names back then, Like I'm beating these people in person. So I'm like, I'm kind of starstruck. But I'm getting used to being around celebrity at that time, you know, in my small city. So I started getting the bug of like, oh, being around celerities, I can do this, like I can be I can have that status I can have you know, I deserve that status at that point.

I'm around it at this young And this is my brother in law.

He's this guy mister Kate ok shot Miss Skate Out, and uh I feel like, you know, it's just part of who I am, you know, just just it was instilled in me because he was kind of like a father figure to me at the time. I looked up to him, and uh I just everything he was teaching me was because like I said, he had kind of like a YouTube, so he would go around and interview and then even like host all the big events in the war shows that we would have.

He would host them.

So like he was cool with all these people, and I kind of got like my value with them through him. You know, I had my cred in the entertainment industry and that in that area through him. So growing up when I wanted to be a rapper, I had like these guys that was you know, real big, big in my city. I could just walk up to and be like, I'm cad out little brother, you know, like put me on like yeah, And then I'm from the side of the time. Where I'm from, it's a lot of Caucasian people,

More involved, more involved, more involved, more.

Involved, and it just kind of blended into my life a lot more so I started kind of living that lifestyle a lot more heavy in the streets now. So at that time, I meet an influencer named Do Gang and shout out to Do Gang.

He's carried, he's a character. So Gang is crazy.

I used to say, I don't know if you can say whatever you want.

I used to tell gag, he let his balls hang the hell you let your you a hell?

What did you meet that like?

This dude, he ain't scared of nothing. This nigga is not scared.

Give me an example, all right.

So the first prank he did right that with me. I didn't go in there, but I brought.

This sounds like it's gonna be good.

Oh my god.

So this kid let me up. This kid walks. He had this thing that he would do. You know, I have a mom looking for the kid that's screaming the kid's name. He would go into public places and stand on the top of, like of any the highest thing he can find in the building and scream Chris.

And then fall on the ground and starts shaking.

Why because like he was scared that.

He have someone recording him. So he was trying for viral.

It was working, like he started like a gas station, and then he went to the college and then so this is when he meets me, and I'm like, yo.

Bro, I don't know our till him. So I'm like, yo, you really want to go big.

Because I've always been like a manager type person to help people, like because when I started my music career, I started doing these, uh these what they call go DJ conferences and these conferences. I'll go to these conferences and start learning music business. So I really started involving myself in the music business side.

First smart because that's a crazy business.

Crazy business.

So I went there first, so I had all this knowledge about music business. So when I met him, I was like, Yo, someone managed this kid. He'd be crazy because like this viral stuff is going on. So he's like, I was like, Yo, if you want to go crazy, bro, you gotta go over the top next level. I bet you won't run that Penel Costa church and do that. It's the biggest Pentecostal church in the neighborhood, in the in the city.

You told him that, Dare, and he did it, I clearly because you said his balls hang to hell? What'd you say?

It was?

Oh my god, listen. He tell me he walked in that church. It's at least three hundred people in there.

I might be always at least a hundred at least hundred people. I'm like at least hundred people. So he walks in there and he's like everyone's sitting down, the pastor's preaching, and he's on all the you know, the screens to tell her.

And he's walking.

He's bee lining to the stage, lining like he's already past security, the usher or whatever.

He's bee lining like.

And now, mind you, he's a tall, light skinned kid, blue eyes face.

No, he's a he's a red bones and he.

Read bone you so listen. He bee lines to the stage, gets the pastors. At this point, the pastor is still preaching looking at him. He's next to the pastor and he screams.

Christ, Chris, where are you?

I got the pizza rods and everything.

They tackle him, fear him off the stage, hog, tie him, bring him outside, put him on a stretcher.

Yes, goes to jail from the church, straight to jail.

Yes, And it's all being taped.

Man, this guy.

Made the news that day. So yeah, back to do gang. So yeah, I was telling him to do it and we started getting hit up by world star a lot. And and by the way, so so do game real street like he real street. So he don't really at that time, I say now because he's grown a lot.

But at that time he didn't know how to like talk business.

You know, he didn't like if you hit him up there was an opportunity, and he didn't see it immediately as an opportunity. He would just be like yeah, he like, bro, what's this and just ignore it?

Wow totally.

So like I started running his dms for him, so I'm running his dms, and I'm noticing like a lot of up and coming influencers are hitting them up like trying to work. He's passing like man, she like sway, you can work with him. So I'm like all right, yeah, So I'm hitting him up like yo, I'll work with you.

I'm his manager, and they're just like all right cool.

So over time we ended up like linking with the guy from World Store.
