Come? I don't go. I don't oh, because he would patient every day he goes lobster catching, so he takes a dive, goes down and just catches with his hands. He went or diving in Wales put him in his mouth. I guess the whale was thinking maybe he's a plankton or
I don't know. Lucky for him, Wales don't have Wales have no no that. Yeah, he was in the Jimmy Kimmel's He goes, I was in the whale's mouth, and then he goes, oh, ship the shark swallowed me thirty seconds. Supposedly took him down a long time, so he took him. Yeah, there's a long time. You know what I would have did, but I went to Wales's mouth, I would have start tickling the shot out of him, winning his stomach and start jumping in wales mouth. He would have definitely kicked
me out. I would have fought it. When I fought, I shut ship. Then I would have fought in that whales mouth and he would have just threw me the funk up. No, he went down thirty five down. It's the wal's stomach. No, no, no, in his mouth, and the whale took him down. Yeah, and then the whale barley said, holy fun, what we like? This guy's on digestible. He only had a suit on.

putting a tiktak in the whales. Mother. It's like a mouse in the right trap, the right trap. No, right trap is no, it's like you trying to suck a big bitch. Oh yeah, I wouldn't try that. Yeah, that's that's come me. Didn't suicide for me. A lot of crazy things happened this week. You know what else happening. This fucking crazy guy on the airplane from Los Angeles to Atlanta try to open the door in mid mid midflight. Yes, was that the airplane youwards on? Not not my plane.
Was just a crazy bitch that was throwing up gang signs you want to beat up everybody, and it cops came and took the bitch off the plane. That that was my plane. This guy was trying to open the door, and I think the passengers all got together and like beat his ass, And I mean he really got a real airbnbat airbashing and beating. He tried to unlock that door after the ass. He didn't want to even unlock his phone after that ship. I can't believe that a lot of times, I think a lot of those things
are inspired by songs. Like people listen to a certain song and they try to Oh there's a song like that. I mean, winds beneath my went, beneath my wings, I believe I can fly. Oh you're right, Yeah, yeah, he thought he was he was Kelly Mike. I think it's a It might be a side effect of COVID nineteen vaccine opening up the plane. I mean, everybody going crazy. Everybody's going crazy. Another crazy guy. Kanye west On followed Kim Kadashian in real life and then follow the Whole
Family on to the Whole Family. Yeah, I guess he's not keeping up the Kadashian anymore. Were good for him? What the funk? Else happened? Something happened last but not least fu Yeah, there's a lot of things been happening lately, Like the outfit you're wearing. Oh yeah, this is This is inspired by Ninja Turtles. You know what this is? This is one of my favorite outfit out used to
well on stage about three years ago. This was made in Togo um where Togo Togoys in West Africa's right next door to Nigeria, if I'm not mistaken, really really cool place. It's French speaking country, a very small country, peaceful. I went to a Chinese restaurant earlier and I took my food to go because they weren't letting people in inside to eat, to to go. It's that can't be
a stand up comedian like, never make you laugh. You're not gonna make it with that joke that they probably throw tomatoes that you intego and they're gonna ask you to go to another fucking country again. That's really nice though, No, no, I think not this lady should wear it again? Where to your show? Why? Mike? You know you have a problem. You don't have to wear just one clothes one time in one weekend and put it in your closet and disappearance.
You gotta keep wearing them. You're wasting a lot of money in the store. I probably am man, But you know what, my my fans spent so much money to come and see me, have to spend that money on. They don't give a funk what you wear. They just want to do. Of course they don't. You don't get funk about me. They know, of course they don't. A lot of them. Come to see where the funk I'm wearing? Best friend? Talking about best friend? Your best friend? Dr Fauci,
Oh yeah, what's going on with here? You tell me, motherfucker. You know, the CROSA heard that they got ahold of his emails and what happened, and that the Nigerian lady that people thought she was crazy. She's a doctor that you know, they care for. Corona was hydro corkin. Yeah, that's all along. I mean, I never doubted it, but I can't, you know, I don't have the power to say the cloak croine was what we used to um, I don't know about hydro part I don't know. I
know about clod coin from like seventies and eighties. That's what we took kids in Africa to kill malaria, you know, and malaria is almost probably it's it has some of the symptoms of COVID. You know, we definitely not lose no taste because after we you know, care from COVID, we malarias, we eat fucking food food, and we eat everything, you know, we eat everything without so we don't you don't lose no taste and there's no vomiting, but it's there's a lot of fever and a few things. But
it could be right with that whole hydro cleric ship. Yeah, so he's in trouble. People are saying that fire Foulgi, fire folgi. Yeah, but you know they needed this to go as long as possible without no cares that it could make money. So that's how look at it. The pharmaceuticals. Yeah, Amazon Prime. Even though the COVID shots are free, there's still something else behind it. It's free to the public, but the country is payingful somehow. Yeah, trillions of dollars. Man, Yeah,
this is unbelievable. Last, but not least, something else happened this week. Um fucking guy in Detroit named Jamal. Or if his name is Jamal, he's black. Most likely I don't know, Mike. I've heard a white guy named Jamal high spur. His name best friend James, James James spelled, and he visited Ghana and he changed his name to Jamal coming back home. Yeah, Well, a guy named Jamal
in Detroit won the lottery dollars not Detroit. People are still broke that thirty thou feels like thirty million dollars. The guy wins thirty thousand on the lottery, and just like a black man, the first thing to go do is by what jewelry worth? The jewelry and I guess what happened. Somebody he gets robbed and got the jewry
snipe from him. Oh my god, if you look at this guy, by looking at him, he looked like he should have spent that money on like gym membership insurance, he had fucked up teeth, some pepper spray on Amazon, maybe gun. Yeah. I can't believe he would spend the of his lottery winnings on jewelry. That's that's dumb. That's dumb. Sounds like an I R. S movie or something. It's your mother sucker, that's called. But let's get the show started. We have a I have a very important, very good

But it's it's important too because we got to go out after this. So that's why we're going out today. Uh yeah, I guess we're going out and we're going to Drake's party. Man, drag fucking things. Guy, this his best friend's birthday. Chop. Um, all right, let's let's go. Me like me and let me go its way back we got out, you know, let me start
out producing shows for um. Uh. We had a bunch of shows on like Oxygen BT, a lot of the Viacom networks and NBCU networks and then we met how we met people do the show that I was on called Living with Funny, That was that damnam. Yeah, it was on Oxygen So that was we did, uh maybe a f fifteen maybe we shot in fourteen fourteen, So
we shot and we sold. Yeah, we sold it the Oxygen Uh yeah a few years ago and went straight to series and which is very rare, right to go straight to series, and we had a lot of great cast members. It was obviously Michael and Brandon T Jackson, d Ray Davis and uh. It was hilarious and it was it was behind the scenes of their their lives and they let us in Michael let us in a little bit and I got to meet my kids and my crazy girlfriend shout out to um, huh listening right now? Yeah? Yeah, right,
um right, no, it was it was georg George. Your wife Georgia was on Georgia. Yeah. It was a good show. Um, it was a lot of fun. And then, you know, because what I was talking about earlier, I know, before when I came to the main reason I moved to l A was round the time we met, and I moved to l A to do some kind of radio show, online radio show that never happened. So when it didn't happen, I got frustrated. I was ready to go back East. And then they came up that I did to do
Live with Funny, Live with Funny. It's kind of what kept me in l A. And I'm glad I stayed because l A just makes you elevate your life, make you want to just become greater and greater and greater. And you know that's how we end up here today. Now he with him, you know, I mean, he went from just producing showing him network to owning a network pretty much. That man, Thank you, I appreciate that. Thanks for letting Mike stay in Los Angeles. Of course I've
never met the mothersucker. No, you know, it was it was crazy. We I was, I was executive producing shows for a while. It was it was I saw my first show when I was twenty one and um, yeah, that was crazy to be Was that that that preachers know? That was? That was a show called Vindicated and uh it was about people wrongfully con maketed the crimes and Morris Chess not hosted it and it was it was crazy. Um. But then at BT we we did a lot of
we I was. I had a deal over there for like three years, most three years, and we we had a lot of shows. Um u that we did the one with snooping them? What was that called? That was? That was after though that But during the time when I was twenty one, it was Vindicated. It was like the Monique show I produced on her talk show. That was that we shot in Atlanta. Um, Terry Cruises reality show the Family Cruise did. Yeah, was that when Mike
was there Valet guys. Terry had he's best fucking friend, Doug. Are you kidding me? Kids? It's a difference than reality in the sitcom like, yeah, they went out. There was a sitcom for TBS Terry called We Did What We Did? Yeah, um sitcom right produced by Ice C starring Terry Crewise, and I did, like I did three or four episodes of the show. Is this podcast reality or this is reality? This would be reality? This should be considered a form of reality. So but yeah, so it was it was
Terry Crews show. That was a great reality show. And then it was several other pilots and stuff that we did Sunday Best. It was a bunch of stuff. And then after BT I kind of left and I was like, I want to start my own full service production company. And that was like really important for me because there was no in the difference with like executive producing shows and owning a production company that that sells to networks is is significantly different. It's it's you're facilitating the shows.
So that means the networks are paying you a certain amount to pay for everything the cast, the the show runners, the the production to really facilitate and deliver the show. So that was that was when I started uh l Plumber Media and then we saw it was called l Plumber Media. It was it was named after my last name. But then if we we sold The Preachers of l A. That was the first series I sold UH to to UH to what was it of Oxygen and so it
was a crazy hit. It was it was um it was the highest rated series at the network and it was following a bunch of Preachers, and then we franchise.
We did a second season, franchises to Atlanta, Detroit, and then after that we ended up selling UH Living with Funny uh to UH to Oxygen and Esquire at the time, So that was the first time we we sold one series to two networks, and which was very unique and different because the the head of NBC was like, I want to do something different both my networks, and they love Michael, they love you know, d Ray and Brandon, and they were like, we got to do this, and
unfortunately Esquire kind of started transitioning because they were I don't know what happened with that network. It was some some things that went down, and so we just ended up putting the show on Oxygen solely. But originally the deal was for for both and so we were we were going to go on the road and shoot for Esquire. The guys doing the stand up comedy and then eveld tune in right after on their sister network, Oxygen and watched them out home. So that was kind of the
original idea. But we still got paid for it. We still got paid for the other thing. World. He's definitely the smartest guys, smartest. I have a question for you, sir, what are you going to do a stand up special for Michael Blocks? And that's that's up to Michael. Michael. Look, I've been Michael was talking about doing a lot of stuff. But it's Michael is a very like Michael Is. He's been out here for for a very long time, and uh, he's had a lot of success. Everybody in the business
knows Michael. You know, he's very successful on the road. Um, and so he's just I know, he's very careful, cautious and calculated with doing a stand up special for whatever distribution company. So that's a Zus. It is so important to me. The money got to be right, you know, And I got really like lately, where to give these guys twenty million dollars all this crazy kind of money, and you know, go right, I'll still my children, Michael Blocks and Mr Zus could afford you know, look at
these two buds. He got them from the Michael million dollars us. Uh, how do you know? Let's talk about how you came up with Zeus. Hold on, Darrel, where you come on? Man? Why don't you come over here? You just snuck in here? Come on? Yeah, you could talk on that Mike. He's been around for the beginning of Zeus. Yeah, that that Mike right there, that now he needed. I'll get you and shading Mike with him because if not, this guy's not talking. So oh yeah,
no they're gonna talk. I need you all to add lit from time to time. Yeah, yeah, I go to Mike. Yeah we go. They're all gonna take the Mike. There we go. So is this good? Yeah? So you asked me about Zeus? Yeah, how did you get so? So here's the thing. I I was selling a lot of shows right for about five six years or so to all these networks, right, and the problem for me was it was great money. You know, they would pay us millions of dollars to shoot one series. So right, it's
is great, Like the money is great. You know that we were getting so usually a series in reality space to to produce for some of those networks range around I don't know, three to maybe six million dollars per series that they would give to a production company, but that you would have to pay for everything, right you you it's not just your money and they're just giving you a check of six whatever right there. They're giving you the payments and increments, so every time you hit
a certain milestone, you get a new payment, UM. And that's really the deal that we structured. And so, uh, you know, we would all we would we would use that money to pay the cast. We would use that money to pay for our overhead. We would use that money to pay for our camera crew, equipment, office space, UM, post production, the editing, all the bodies, the showrunners, the producers, and story produce. So it was it was great to be a black owned, full service production company because it
was that was the thing for me. When I launched my production, it was no black production companies and so a lot of the reality shows that we're on major networks were facilitated by these you know, white owned networks UM. And so for me, I just I just thought it was weird, like we all these black shows around, all these white networks, and these white production companies are facilitating it, and I'm just like, did it just didn't make any sense. So that's when I just said, let me, let me,
let me take a stab at it. And we had a lot of success over those five six years, and we sold, like you said, the Living with Funny. Then it was Music Moguls, The Preachers franchise. Music Moguls featured Damon dash Uh, Birdman, Snoop Dogg, and Jermaine dupri And then I sold a show with Viola Davis called Two Sides. And so I just kind of got to a point where I was like, you know, this is great, We're making good money, but you know it's it wasn't just
about the money. I didn't own the shows. So even though they were giving us, they were giving us the budgets to to facilitate the productions, they didn't they we didn't own the shows, and we couldn't make any any decisions regarding the creative or business of the show right. And so I just said, how do I become my own distribution platform and really facilitate and own the content and and give the other content partners and creators the ability to own their shows that have creative input to
make more money and monetize. And then that's when I launched Jews because I saw that there was avoiding in this space and there was opportunity and what we call the subscription video on demand you know, oh yeah, just like Netflix. Zeus is like a Netflix. Yeah, and that's and people people would watch content that way. That's we we learned that people were kind of tired of watching linear what we call linear television and appointment TV. It's
like kind of it's kind of old school, right. People don't usually like to go home and flip the channels and not at nine o'clock and watch the program. So nowadays people want to watch it their convenience, choice and control on whatever device that they have, whether it's your phone, whether it's an Apple TV. They want to be able to have that that control to do that. And so Netflix succeeded tremendously with that model, and then a lot of other folks started to follow suit, and uh, I,
I said, let me get into that space. I just need to figure out the technology, which I which I was able to do, and then it became about creating the content and making that investment. So I invested in Zeus and aggregated a lot of other content creators, and then we launched. Wow, that's amazing. So where are you where you guys at right now? Sorry, this feels like the most serious interview you get. No. One of the top networks right now? Yeah? Yeah, So are you subscribed
as I was? And then you know, hell no, child support took all my money and I had to change my credit card. I need to update my payments. We did. We did increase our price though, you did go up from what kind of child support? But don't worry me. At the end of the show, I'm gonna update my payment all right. I appreciate the support from what he has. He still has still subscriber, he does, that's true. Uh, but but uh, you know it's great. It's great, man.
I think we've come a long way. You know, we've learned a lot. We've we've experimented in this space. We figured out a niche uh and uh, you know, being black owned and I mean this was the distribution is the key, right. It's like, if you can have the opportunity to go direct to consumer and and really like you know, succeed at that, you win. And so for us, you know, a lot of folks can create content, but they got to figure out at home, and then they
got to figure out a way to monetize. And so if you if you can figure that out, you know, you have a great chance of you know, really creating a business that in this in this space right that can really succeed and do well. And so we figured that out. We figured out a great niche. We We are creating a ton of original programming long form that people are are are watching and enjoying. It's our Our ship is loud. It's very loud, very provocative. You know.
We got the Jocelyn Show. Yeah, that one's real good. It's crazy. We have you know, obviously Dr Blackston, we pushed the envelope the black I was like, I was nervous about that one. I can't rely oh because it was no filter. Yeah. Dr black was up top of my head the thinking about what the thing I come out.
Dr blacks And you know, I've been around for a while and a lot of my fan base are young kids between eighteen to thirty five, and I've been through everything they've been through, and I'm like, you know, I could give these guys some advice, lady guys, and my adviys are just a low savage and it really sometimes it's beyond. It's just you know, I'm just telling you. So, so let's let's try it real quick. Let's talk to one of the dukes girls. Does anybody need any advice? Yeah,

You know what you want? You know, you know you'll be a great father at a young at
an older age. At thirty one, Um, you know always you know, I know I talk crazy all the time, but you gotta teach that kid about God. That's important to put God in that kid because you'll never forget that, absolutely regardless of what that kid goes through. What. Yeah, I believe that my mother is an evangelist. She's you're a Christian yes, I'm Christian. Are we having this conversation about religion? I'm just kidding, I'm just flaying. Are you

Good's As of personal questions, I understand it's important because my kid never asked to be here, you know, So that at least you could do is give that kid mommy and daddy, get that kid what he deserved. He didn't ask me. He could have just stayed in your fucking sperm, you know, but you decided to put the nigga out. So get him, treat him, write, give mommy, get him. Daddy. Be loving to the kid. Let me teaching about let me know
about God. That will always do enough. Forget that because everything you teach your kid as a kid, it never goes away from him. You know, we might backslide, might dude dumb ship here, but I always remember, like you know, never forget God. So that's important. And you know, just um work save money that baby. Kids are expensive than the motherfucker. Man. You know, I'm already know that just from just from the gener reveal party and from the baby showing party. They be here, Is it here already
or it's caused five months? So four more months left? Yes, So it might be a scorpio. Might be a scorpio and it's a boy. What's dope? Man? Just you know, as she get close to the eight, as your your lady gets closer to eight nine months, you know, try not sucking her too much. You want to pook a fucking done in the baby's head, And what are you talking about. I'm talking about you. You're supposed to have sex so the baby come out. Yeah, but I'm saying
you don't want to. You don't hitting the baby and you're come out with me, mothersucker. I'm just saying, you know, des if the baby coming the den in the head, we know the fund did it. Okay, So just you know around like nine months leave alone, Mike. Did you know that a sperm when you when you have sex with your girlfriend that's pregnant, a sperm is the one that cuts the thing to come out. No, the sperm is the one that attacks that little Yeah, that the womb,
the womb to let it go out. Because mine was Did you learn that from Craig? No? No, no, no, mine was two weeks like almost two weeks late because you didn't funk out enough. No, the sperm is the one that helps open it up. It's true. Sperm was weak. Why I didn't know, Like, yeah, I did it a lot of times and the baby come out. You just slid right out. Are you saying if coming in her? Yeah, that's come out easier because it's the one that breaks the barrier. You know what I'm saying Mike, He's like,

How does your breaking that girl for feel about you making theme songs for Bad Girl's Club? Right right? What are you hanging out today? Bad Girl's Club? My girl hang out with bad boys and bad boys. You know, it's it's interesting, you know, to balance that out, I make songs for her too, so it's a quick
balance between So for the women's girls song exactly. So it's good smart, yeah, and she got to be supportive because you guys, look here at Juice. We have music for everybody. Okay, we can you make us a song for this podcast? Ms usually for girlfriends, we have music for sing Can you make us a theme song for the Yeah, let's do it. We want to suck a podcast. Absolutely, and we should put this on Zeus. Yeah, let's put his episodes. I'm talking about the show that's been bad
and we'll talk about that right now. Let's talk about it. I like that. I like this. Look your guy behind the scenes said he can absolutely what's going up? No, but yeah, we should get this on Zeus. I think it's great. I think, look, we we need we need a podcast, okay, talking about we've been talking about doing some type of cool podcast, but we gotta make it a you know, we gotta oh yeah that slow it up. But that's what I do. What I do, I have like you know, you have the blacks and angels, but
it was you know, they didn't been getting paid. So but I don't worry. We've got the blacks and age and the suits, zeus angels together and black girls club backgirls. What's up with you in the back girls? Club man? And then we have did you have a thing for bad girls? I was watching what is wrong with your guy? Chinese best friend? Anybody doesn't advice ladies anything. So let's fine. Let's get the zoos and your enemies and Jesus Christ,
you hate us, Yes, let's get to let's go. How did other networks feel about you taking all these reality stars? And I'm not taking it down? Take them down now, that's why he got them big guys over His one is downstairs. No, you know, you know, seriously, how many one employees here? Right? Wow? So here check all right, look, when we put this on Zoos, I'll have editing rights. You're not to really get me killed. But but real talk, Uh no, it's it's we never we never intentionally went
after anybody. We we actually people started inquiring about wanting to work with us, and so I think we just we we put out amazing program programming and a lot of a lot of a lot of very talented folks was reaching out in one and that you know, put out shows and shows that people passed on people's you know, because in in in regular what we call regular or linear television, because it's advertisers this the content has to be censored a little bit, right. You can't. You can't
be too loud, you can't be offensive, you can't. You know, there's a lot of you know, uh censorship, you know, situation components to the I'm talking about what I'm talking about with like a VH one rights. So folks just you know, when we when we put out when we put out China even be sabone and quite, it's like people were like, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta rock with zeus like this this is like the new thing like that, Like they're they're putting out shows, people are
getting paid, the shows are actually good. It's not like bootleg like we put out premium content like you know, and so for us, and it's raw and you can get it anywhere at any time. Him. So it was like for the customers like a win win. I can watch it on my phone or my Apple TV, my Roku whenever I want. It's only it was at the time, it was only you know, and it's like having access to that content, it was just like, oh great, like let me, let me subscribe and and stick with this
this platform. And so for me, folks started coming over and then ray g and Princess, they saw Michael come over to the network. It was Omarion and then we had Hazey Mesica and who else. I don't know a one in Lyrica. There was a lot of folks kind of inquiring to be a part with either a particular show or their own series. And I think that it wasn't just v H one, it was other networks too. Um, but you know, what are we gonna say no? I mean, if we think it's a good show, we're gonna do it,
you know. And so we like we we put out the content and it just it just resignated with a large group of people and Zeus continued to really scale and grow and so it's is doing really well. Um. But yeah, yeah that I've been they have. They have definitely called and reached out. They've sent cease and desist letters. Um, they have threatened like certain things like yeah, I've talked
to the highest level at Viacom. Um, you know, I've heard that there's been people and the team it's like been saying what you said, it down, take them down, and take them down. I think they were just like you know, they were saying, like when there was a week basically, look, we feel like they're they are a threat there and they're coming after our our They're treading they call it their space. It's not their space, it's
their talent. Like they like it's like it's like it's like I don't want to say like my my, I'm not gonna It's like I understand how the business works, right, which is why I launched my network. I kind know, I didn't intend to be a disruptor. I'm cool with being an extender, not a disruptor. So for me, it was more so like I'm gonna launch a platform. People want to, you know, work with me. Collaborate. Cool, let's do it. I'm all about it. And h one wants
to collaborate, partner and whoever. I like, you know, let's let's let's make some things happen. Um. And that's still my mentality. Uh you know. So for me, when they were saying that, it was like I think they just felt really threatened, like, yeah, you're working with our You're you're working with our talent that we basically own or have exclusive rights to, which I don't. I'm not familiar with their deals. I don't have their deals, right, so
we do our due diligence. So if people are coming to me and saying they're free to do certain business, I'm gonna embrace it. So you know, you can't come after me. You gotta go after them. It's not my issue. So if they're in breach, if they're inbreached them, I'm not in breach. I don't have a deal with Viacom, right, I don't have a deal with these networks. So for me, it's it's not what they called at the time tortures,
and none of that stuff exists. So for me, it's just it's it's tortures interference, which is what they called him. What's up, mother Sucks? This is your African king up comedy Michael Blackson.

Subscribe it's free, So go do it right now and don't forget to catch a new episode every Tuesday. And for me, it was just like it was. It was kind of ridiculous, but you know, I just kept moving forward. I haven't heard from him since,
but you know I didn't have to. Oh yeah, they saw Johnson had been free for I feel like the industry devalues a lot of people when when you need them, you need them for just a moment, then you chew them up and spit them out and they don't work with you. And so I I I said, look, Johnson is a free agent right now, right she's not doing any other projects, she's not working with anybody. So yeah,
I'm a green lighted show with her. She's great. You know, Uh, this person is going around pitching show, is trying to get a show off the ground. I'm gonna educate you on how it works and say, hey, let's rock, let's work together. So for me, I'm I'm taking a completely different approach. They're making it difficult for people to have projects or to have like most most of the talent have no ownership in the shows. They don't get executive
producer credits. They don't have creative control. You know, they're just on screen. They do a job for X amount of time and then they're done right and and the sad thing is you don't really realize how much money these people are making. Right, the networks make they're making. I mean, their budgets every year are hundreds of millions of dollars right to produce original content, hundreds of millions
of dollars. So the Comcast of the world, right, the Comcast, the A T and T S the or the the what we call the cable and satellite providers directive you dish, they pay these networks right, so they pay the v H one'es. They pay all these guys to carry their networks, so that's their first revenue stream, and then they make money off of advertisers. Right. They don't share in any of those fees with the talent and even the production companies.
So they generate all of that revenue, right, whether they're profitable or not, that's not our business. They're making all that money, right, and so you don't see a piece of it, but what you're doing. In my opinion, when I look at a talent, when I look at somebody that's very creative, I see value in it and I see like, okay, look, I'm not gonna screw you over. I'm not gonna just give you a talent fee and say thanks. I'm gonna say, hey, let's share in the
let's sharing the profit, let's share in the revenue. Let's let's really give you the proper credits that you deserve. Let's really make some things happen. And so it's no secrets for me. I'm very transparent, candid with our business like it's and that's why people work with us. They don't do that with traditional networks. They're traditional. I'm non traditional.
So I think people are are excited to work with me and Zeus because they're not only getting uh you know, uh, they're not only getting educated, but they're getting opportunities that they would never get anywhere else. The exposure, right, And so for me, that's important. I see value. Let's take Michael, You're you're bringing all this. So think about the logic in it. Right, If you're a talent and you're creative, and you're and you're generating all these eyeballs for people
to watch a specific show. That's that's the bottom line, right, That's how they make their money. Right, It's all about viewership. Right, So if you're the person or if you're on an ensemble cast, right, and you're and you're bringing those eyeballs, why shouldn't you be a part of that, you know what I mean? And so for me, I don't that. That just didn't sit well with me. It was very it was a very unsettling and feeling. And so I just said, I want to I want to change that.
I want to change the process. I want to change you know, how people are used to doing things out here in Hollywood, And I really want to put the power in the hands of the content creators and you know, the talent and and and we collaborate and we call you actually partners. And so yeah, man, this guy is the nicest man in the world. That's good, especially publish. I mean, I mean, I want to know, I want, I want Darrell the chime and to just give your But it happens to a lot of the black talent.
Black talent gets it even worse. Yeah, we're going to the I mean, I mean, I've been a talent manager, you know, ten fifteen years, and from my perspective, anytime you can allow a talent to capture more to value
in the marketplaces, it better. It works like you know, these networks are paying you pennies and then you know to next and on your your efforts, right because they're not accessing you know, the a people can hear us and the they're not right, they're not you're not access the advertisement, the product placement, any other ancillary revenues that's coming in. You're just getting the check, you know. And
what he did was brilliant. You you you made them micro equity partners in their projects, right and you you let them you know, live along, um, I mean make money. Along the life cycle, the full life cycle of the
intellectual property, which is just brilliant. So for me, any talent manager or talent and with any type of understanding of um, the entertainment business should be clamoring to get the zoos and figuring out ways to create projects, you know, so they can have equity in their stuff, you know. And that's to me, that's just that's what really makes this thing special, like putting that power back into the artist's hand. Wow, zoos network everyone everyone unsubscribed netflace. I
know they happen. I know you guys have places to go that. I'll talk a little bit about Hollywood getting feeling like Hollywood is like Donnie, damn, what do you wish you feel on the Hollywood? You know what? Definitely changing. He's going through a major transition period. I think, uh, you know, music, television, film. I mean we're seeing it
before our eyes, you know. UM. I think it from my opinion, when it comes to television and movies, he could probably speak more so to mute the music business. Um and can I get another refill turn up? I'm talking about Hollywood. Um. But but for me, it's like, you know, we're in a different day and age. Right. It's uh, it's a lot that I can say about this, but I'll try to be as quick as quick as I can. But I'll say it started with like Netflix. Right.
Netflix was a platform that disrupted everything. I would say two things, social media and Netflix and sure, sure, but but i'll say thank you. I'll say as far as uh uh Netflix, right, let's start with them. They had this philosophy. It was all about convenience, choice and control. Right.
There are twenty plus year old business people don't really realized that they've been around for twenty plus years, right, And so their model was all about how do we make it convenient for customers where they can choose whatever they want at their control. And so that was there, kind of like philosophy, right, and so they did it. They started mailing DVDs when you had to go and get in the car, start your car, drive to a place, look around, then drive back home, then bring it back.
Blockbuster was very successful. Netflix said, go to our website, sign up, will mail you the DVD. Right, you don't even have to get up. So so so they were mailing you DVDs. That was the first and yeah, and then they had your credit card on file, so if you chose to keep the DVD, they just take your money. But nobody ever reached the privacy policies and things like that, so you're just like whatever, right, So so they did that and they were successful, and ultimately they grew, and
then technology and evolved in advance. They were on computers and you can go on your web, you know, whatever device you had. And then ultimately where people Hollywood started recognizing Netflix was when you know, they started putting out original programming. It was House of Cards and it was Oranges, the New Blacks that well, I don't know if Dex was that was that was an effort, but it was House of Cards and it was House of Cards and
uh and Orange. And so what happened was they disrupt, Like they finally announced how many subscribers they had, and it was like thirty five million subscribers right, paying like eight dollars and it was like two eighty million dollars a month. So when Netflix reported that, Hollywood was like, okay.
And then they reported that you know, you can watch these shows on our platform, you know, it was like and then they changed the game because it was like the shows looked just as good, if not better than an HBO type of series. Right, it was very premium, and you had an a list talent, Kevin Spacey and all these other people and these shows. And then they changed it where they were like go binge watching watch all twin twelve episodes, right, And so everybody Hollywood was
kind of scratching his head, like, hold on what just happened? Right? And then people started going and then it was it was word of mouth and people. So so Netflix continue to evolve. Right now, they have almost two hundred million subscribers right right now, they're bringing in billions of dollars a month in revenue, and so they have a ton of original programming that they're creating so they can keep and hold their subscribers and ultimately scale it. So that
model changed the game for Hollywood. So that meant that people were less interested in going to the movies, they were less interested in watching traditional television because of that business model. And then you had on the other side
social media. Right, you had all these influencers because technology evolved where they can shoot on their everything is on this phone, right, is an editing software program on here is a camera and you have distributions, you have distribution, you have editing, you distribution editing, and you have production right so on on this one device. So as this started to evolve and the platform was available, it just it, you know it. It took eyeballs off of traditional, you know,
Hollywood ways of how you watch content. So the first choice, right that people choose nowadays of how to watch content is on their phone. They'll go to Instagram, They'll go to all these different social platforms that that will be the first place they watch. The second option would be any type of what we call v O D service video on demand, so that whether that's a VOD TI VOD or s VOD advertising video on demand that's like
a YouTube. T VOT is more transactional video on demand, and then s VOT is like Netflix subscription based, So that's like the number two option. And then third was like cable TV. Fourth is like movies, and we see in front of our eyes, when is the last time
you really go to a movie theater? Right? Nobody goes to the movies like they used to, unfortunately, and so it's almost becoming like this nostalgic kind of thing right right now, it's a wow the mute the movies, right, and so it's it's uh, it's it's it is what it is. But that's the day and age we live in. And now you have platforms like only fans and just again, eyeballs are going in all these different places now where
people can watch content. So yes, Hollywood is changing significantly because of technology, because of the new platforms that are emerging and that are here, and because of how people can watch content. I don't know if you have anything you want to I think you said it. I think it's the greatest time in entertainment history. It's so many media outlets in so many ways to go directly to
the consumer. So you don't need gatekeepers or intermediaries or middlemen, you know, to get to your audience or to build your audience audience base, and it's fifteen million ways to monetize once you build your audience based. So to me, I think it's a great time in media, music and television and music and television right. This is a time where artists can own their art, exploit their art on their terms, right, and get fair value for it. So
I think it's great. Does that answer your question? What do you think why No, not definitely. I mean a lot of people have moved out of Hollywood because you know, let's movie stuff going on, let's sitcom. People are not watching Scompass much anymore. People watching Netflix'm saying, well, that's Netflix. It's a whole different world. Somebody watching cb as an ABCNBC anymore. Nobody's TV is trash now, nobody's uh it's listen. Look, I would never say anything negative about I was a
lot of opportunities stemmed from appointment traditional TV. It's great. I mean, look, it's just at different times, different It's nothing wrong with that, right there. Trying to hang on, right just like any business. I don't know how long this spot stuff is gonna last, but you hang on as long as you can, you know. And so that's what they're doing, and they will continue to do it now, I will say there they look at the end of the day, people are going to continue to pay, even
if they don't watch it. They're going to continue to pay because people are programmed in their brains to pay for cable and WiFi, and because they bundled them together. You're gonna always pay, Comcast, You're gonna always pay. You're gonna pay direct TV, A T and T. You're gonna pay you know, all these different people because you've been programmed paid. But I think it's the average is like a hundred forty nine dollars a month. So that's like
the end game. So so Comcast they're like the end game, right, Like like Netflix is great, but like Comcast, they own real estate in the air, right, frequencies in the air where you can beam certain signals, right to have access to your phone so you can watch your content. And that's all controlled by WiFi and four G, five G and they're gonna come out with six G all these different things so you can have faster internet, you know, and all that stuff. So it's a whole business behind it,
you know. That's kind of like the next phase for me after Zeus is uh, I want to own real estate in the air and I'm gonna have I'm gonna be a wireless provider. That's kind what are you gonna Zeus network? Mike, I learned so much from this intelligent man. He reminds me of the modern Steven Spielberg, the black Steven. I gotta be the black signals, know, but I'm just me, he read He told us the story amazing. But the one question that I wanted to know, how did you
figure out the names? Zeus ex girlfriends? You know what I did? Security security Yards? Yeah. No, no, honestly, I didn't even come up with I didn't even come up with the name. One of my one of my partners, came up with the name day Storm. He actually mentioned we were we were strategizing and trying to figure out a bunch of names for the company, and we we had a bunch of names, and then he just like, what do you think about Zeus? And I was like,
we were, like, I like Zeus. That's actually pretty interesting. He didn't have a meaning behind I mean he said it was the Greek god. Yeah, the Greek god and being the most powerful Greek god. Sure, but I didn't I did. My mind was just more like whatever Google means, whatever Zeus means whatever, you know. It was just it just felt like a good name to call a network, and uh we called that the Zeus Network. I have
another question, Uh, do you guys have benefits? Because uh, I'm with you, uh know, we we uh we are Look, we're still a new company. So I didn't say we don't I didn't say we do or don't we you know, I think we um, we definitely have I'm just we definitely have benefits. But you know, we're we're building our team and we're building our our permanent staff. Even though
