“Which was put together, I believe, by Dwayne Wiggis from Tony, Tony, Tony, his sons were in there too. But she was clearly the star of this group. And I remember Piers Morgan was being an asshole as he does so very well. And he was telling a 15-year-old little chubby K-Lani that she should leave the group.

“And that was, I think, that was just in our headphone cells. Like, because we did, I had, I did a headphone brand very similar to Beats by Drew. Monster was the parent company. They did beats for $300 and they did incredibles for $100. So we were the more cost-effective headphones. And while Beats by Dre was making all the noise, we were quietly making noise in Walmart's and the radio shacks for selling an affordable product. That was pretty much the same product, except where we made ours affordable.

And I was like, oh, let me shine a light on these dudes that are way funnier than me, that are way more talented than me. And then I built a business out of it of incubating, of cultivating young talent so much so that when they're ready, we see Pete Davison go on to become one of the biggest stars in SNL and a movie star. We see same thing with like Mikey Day and Taryn Killam and, you know, the Cat Williams and Kevin's to become some of the biggest stand-up comedians to ever tour the world. They got they feet wet. Gils honed on one of the toughest stages. Like, if you look at what Wild and Out is, if you excel and survive there, you're going to be a star.”

“So, you know, we all have trials and tribulations. You got to learn how to bob and weave, but you're still the fighter in which you're supposed to be. Whatever made you jump in the ring from that day one, you're going to cultivate those skills. You know what I mean? You may be a defensive fighter, and that's how you win your fight sometimes. But early on in your career, you are a puncher. Then you had to be more of a thinker, you know. But at the end of the day, you're still a fighter. So I think as whatever, I still have this desire in me to be a winner. I have this desire in me to beat the odds, to there's something about like when someone tells me I can't do something or tells me, no, that fuels me. And it's been that way since.”

You still want to enter the space of gratitude. But this is my show. This is my party. This is my block that you have to, that's where that success lies.

But there's a lot of people who aren't musically inclined, who aren't musically talented, who don't know how to have happyness with music that latch on. Control the artists.

And I figured it out and they hired me as a staff writer for a bunch of different Nickelodeon shows.”

And people were like, yo, that kid is more entertaining than what's going on on stage. So they're like, he has a voice. So through my management, Michael Goldman is still my manager to this day, still Keenan's manager.

And I was in awe of him because he's Keenan from Keenan and Kale and we're in the, he's a few years older than me, but I'm like, he's doing what I want to do.

And you're digging yourself deeper by pointing fingers at people who are on a completely different frequency than you don't even hear you. And you're clouding up your existence instead of just like.”

“They attract each other. And I think that's like when people talk about secret societies, and I think it's like, it's not like this formed meeting. It's just like-minded individuals. Like people who operate on the same frequency, there doesn't have to be this written rulebook. It's just like, oh no, we intuitively move like this. We gravitate towards certain things.

“Jamie Fox, like throughout my career, they're always there. They're always, even when they're not, like, we may not speak every day, but we always connected.

“They abandoned me. It was more like everybody had to move on to their next thing. I had to be the one to figure it out. So that was probably one of my greatest life lessons that Will even taught me indirectly. I mean, because he was warning me the whole time and he held me down, you know, time and time again since then. You know what I mean? I wouldn't have got drumline if it wasn't for him. Like I said, I wouldn't have my first record deal if it wasn't for him. So it's funny.

I probably cried for days because I didn't, you know, that's the thing when you think you've arrived and then it snatched from under you and there's no plan.
