Speaker 2:Y'all I love this All right, guys, we're here with Mike from Planet Vegan. My name is Mike. That's cool man, so tell us how long have you been doing food truck?
Speaker 10:2019, like right before covid okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:So what? What inspired you to start your first food truck?
Speaker 10:uh, just to change the lifestyle. Honestly, it wasn't even me being a food truck owner. I just changed my whole lifestyle, tried the plant-based diet, uh, loved how I felt and then became a businessman after that how was the process?
Speaker 2:I know that that must be a long and like hefty process from stopping eating meat and stopping eating like certain dairy products.
Speaker 10:Yeah, yeah, I lost a lot of weight. It was crazy a lot of way. I go to the gym a lot, so lost a lot of weight. Uh, I guess my body was just used to the uh testosterone from the meat products so I had to basically, you know, switch lanes and get the, the protein, from the plants.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's dope, that's dope. So I got a question for you, mike, my name is d. Is DJ Nice to meet you, brother, really quick. So you know, I've been following your page for some years now, which is crazy Now seeing you in person. I seen the truck. I was like, oh snap, I'm going to have to tag him, shout him out real quick. You make your food look just as normal as, obviously, meat based products, but you make it look 10 times better. Yeah, I've make it look 10 times better. Yeah, I've seen the galaxy fries, bro. I've seen all the food you've got on that truck and I'm like dog. It's tempting, because I've tried vegan food and it's fire. I, bro, I've been waiting years to try it. So my biggest question is is when you first started this food truck, was it hard getting people in as customers? Was it a? Was it a struggle?
Speaker 10:okay, I feel like, uh, me as an individual, I feel like I brought a lot of people in. Just being me, okay, yeah. Yeah, I play basketball out here in Fresno Okay word. I went to college in Oakland, california Okay word, I feel like people more. So tried it out, just being like me as a person, right you?
Speaker 5:know. And then when they tasted the food, that's when the word of mouth kicked in Okay word word, so it all Okay word word. I love that man. And with that being said, man, hey, shout out to the Bay Area, by the way.
Speaker 10:Oakland Florida. Oakland Florida. Yeah, married man Married Thunderbirds. I went there, played basketball there, great school.
Speaker 5:Heck yeah, my family's from East Oakland and Richmond, so I definitely understand the feeling of that man.
Speaker 10:And then, where do you really want out of the establishment? Uh, we ain't trying to get too big, we're still gonna take control of the quality of the food, right? Yeah? So I mean, take, take, take over california for sure, right? Yeah, maybe something in the bay area, maybe something in la as well, take it back. Other than that, we ain't trying to get too big, we want to more. So make this the spot that people come. Just how dog days is you know? They come into fresno to go see dog days. Right, come to fresno to get one of the hottest vegan foods in california, exactly yeah so that's.
Speaker 10:That's pretty much. We're just gonna keep the staple here, yeah yeah, so you're gonna be here for dog days. I ain't gonna be here. I got work. I'm trying to get here later, though. I got work, I'll really be working. Hey, there ain't nothing wrong with that kitchen too. Yeah, yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that, you see, work pays off, though you see what it gave you.
Speaker 5:You know what I'm saying All those years of work. So it's amazing, man. Well, we hope we can see you come out there, man. It's going to be a great festival. We're glad to see you here and take advantage and be able to at least see a little bit of what it's going to be.
Speaker 2:But I mean it's amazing, brother. If there's any inspiring words that you want to give to the listener, Something that you've been through or have gone through and want to just tell everybody I've been through this but just know that it's not the end of the world Any inspiration that you want to give to the folks, Go ahead and.
Speaker 10:Just don't give up, man. Stay consistent, like it, though you hurdles, I feel like it's all a test. You know we do a test man. We just squash them. We keep what we got to do. It's in you. You got to be in you, not on you. Right, you know. Be pure with it. Make sure you got a pure heart, make sure you move the right way and make sure you just treat people the way you want to be treated in life.
Speaker 2:And you're always going to win, hell yeah.
Speaker 10:Always Appreciate it, Appreciate y'all Absolutely brother.
Speaker 2:Here we go. All right, boys, we got another guest on.
Speaker 5:We got my boy right here. Go ahead and introduce yourself. Player.
Speaker 11:Hey, my name is Carlos. I'm from Danuba, california. And what do you do, dude? Anything with music. Man Grew up playing the drums, learning on the guitar and everything producing music, making my own music, trying to make a name for myself, you know. Okay, word word.
Speaker 5:Brother, I've been watching you for the past few. We met in 2024, right, right. So if y'all don't know that well, you probably won't know this first time introducing him. I met him when I was working for a solar company. He worked right across from me and this guy was one of the biggest people to transform me and means of trying to get me into the gym, trying to get my headspace right.
Speaker 5:The craziest part was I just asked to use his forklift. I went across the way. I'm like, hey, bro, I need to move some cows. Can I, can I use your forklift? And he was like, yeah, bro, yeah, by all means, and I had my lexus at the time and he's super inspired by like cars and stuff. And so we start connecting, talking about cars. Long before you know it, we're sitting there for like two, three hours. Bro, it's already, the sun's already gone down, we're just yapping and we didn't make the best connection possible. And, crazy enough, he actually helped me produce my first beat and rap on the very first song I've ever rapped on yeah, dude.
Speaker 11:Oh man, going back to those days, man, it means a lot to me, dude, it really does like sometimes when I doubt myself or something like it's, I always go back to those talks that we had from dude, those, like you said, those three hours or we'd be at the gym and, yes, we wouldn't even be going hard like that, bro, we were going through so much stuff at the time and, like bro, and when I tell you like he inspired me, like dude, from the cars to his worth work ethic, yeah, dog dj's always been like that man.
Speaker 2:He's a down-to-earth homeboy for sure. He's always been he's. He's the one that's really been there for for everybody man. He sacrificed so much for a lot of people and a lot of people take that for granted and you know what man? Man, you deserve the highest, highest fucking things.
Speaker 5:I can't say thank you without thanking everybody who's been there for me through it all, because, again, like you said, a lot of people take advantage of that.
Speaker 5:It's the people who are humble and genuine enough to not take advantage of you that bring you up to the higher heights. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be on this podcast. If for you, I wouldn't be on this podcast. If it wasn't for you, brother, I wouldn't have been in that gym. You seen how hard it was getting me in there. I tried, bro, he tried so hard and I was like all right, I'll do it. I got social anxiety. I don't like being in public spaces, bro, and I mean look, look where I'm at now.
Speaker 11:We're interviewing strangers, bro, you're talking dude, you're telling me I'm out right now. I don't, I do not like leaving my house. Yeah, dude, I I feel you man. I'm the same way.
Speaker 2:And you would think like oh fuck, no, you got a podcast. You going to do this? Like hey, I'm still an introvert by heart man. I still don't like to go out.
Speaker 5:Shout out B-Box bro, Y'all done. Loosened me up out here to be able to talk what I got to do bro.
Speaker 11:It's crazy, just that whole drive that he had and and like bro again, I'm not, I wouldn't be in places like this. You know, you got me out here, you got me like networking. I done met so many people already and they already put me on and they're always like bro, like you got a passion, you got a fire, someone's gonna see you. You just gotta get yourself out there, you know. And so, being out here, you know, dude, I'm grateful, grateful to be here. I appreciate you for even having me on here, man.
Speaker 2:You good, you good.
Speaker 11:Yeah, cut in cut in We'll do a little power break real quick.
Speaker 5:Gotta charge the phone. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Yeah, come on now. We gotta survive, bro, we gotta survive.
Speaker 2:But going back to the whole thing, though, like it's important to know that you have people that inspire you and that are there for you and right and rooting for you. Even if it's one person, two people, whatever it is right, it doesn't matter, as long as you've got the passion and the drive for it. You got to keep it going, keeping on, and dj told me about you, and I was just like oh, absolutely, for me, it's anything that I'm willing to do to help out others. Right, there's nothing. There's nothing wrong with that, because I come from nothing. So, trust me, I've had a lot of trials and errors. So even helping one another ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm willing to help out, that's my thing.
Speaker 11:That whole inspiration thing, dude, it goes a long ways and I was. I was in drum line in high school and like being a senior and all these freshmen's like looking up to you yeah and then it was to the point where, like I left high school and they were still hitting me up like, hey, can you help me on your off?
Speaker 7:time, like when you're not working. Can you?
Speaker 11:help me out, or I was even writing some of their stuff at the time and like, when you say like inspiration goes a long way, dude, I look at everywhere for inspiration. Yeah, your car, this podcast, bro, thank you. This is the reason why I'm here, because if there was no podcast, this wouldn't have happened, right?
Speaker 11:we wouldn't be meeting these like meeting up here and I wouldn't have met these people and, like bro, I'm so thankful, grateful and appreciative of just even being in the presence of everyone here, you know we're grateful to have you on here, bro, because, again, I see talent.
Speaker 5:I know talent. I know when I see hard work and effort, bro, and that's what we're here for Trying to put on for the smaller artists that are trying to make a name for themselves, but also being a genuine and humble podcast to be able to bring the city up along with us. And we're not expecting nothing from nobody. The thing is is, if you come on here and you're being genuine and you're doing what you got to do, bro, we want to see you succeed and that's why I was so happy to see you, because I was like, bro, it was so random.
Speaker 5:He pulls up in the parking lot and he's talking to the homie keesey. He's like, oh my boy, dj. And I turn around. I'm like who the fuck is that? And I see him. I'm like, oh shit, like, and we just got to the parking lot. So timing is everything, bro, right and it's just. It's been amazing being able to see the people that believe in you the most with anything that you do. I mean, I haven't seen this dude since I worked at the solar company.
Speaker 11:It's been since 20, that was, since 2024, in like may, bro, we never lost contact and we're always keeping up with each other and and I even told you off, bro I'm always rooting for you. Everything you got, you got my number and everything like. Likewise, if you need help with anything, bro, like I got you like, even if it's like music for this, interviews, anything like, I'll put everything. And even if you turn it down like, nah, this isn't what we want, all right, here goes another try, because my whole thing is trial and error. You know what I'm saying, right? But man, dude, I'm just again I'm lost of words because, like, I do not like cameras, I do not like talking.
Speaker 11:I'm a producer first so like being around this, like it's not me, but I mean again you, you, you encourage me to get out here, do this. Yeah, you know, meet all these people, right?
Speaker 5:so, yeah, you never know what you'll run into, you never know where to lead you to just taking that, that step out. I've had to do that so many times in these past few years, like being on the podcast me and him both were camera shy. The homie, the homie isaac. He got uh the same dji that we have and he was like, oh, let's vlog, let's do this, let's do that. We went to san jose, uh, earlier this year and we were in the mall and I had the dji and I'm filming them inside the, the store and the whole time I'm just like. People probably think I'm weird, but in the back of my mind I'm like, bro, fuck it, just keep going. Someday people are going to be like yo. I wish I could do that in public, the same way that I'm shelled up inside doing the same thing.
Speaker 11:You know, bro, even when it comes down to like I've been wanting to make videos for my music, that I make the hardest shit ever, man, yeah, like being it's not even being in front of people, bro. I could be like in my backyard with no one watching me, yeah, and just being in front of the camera, I'm like, oh no. But I think that also comes from a perfectionist standpoint, because like for me, I want everything to be perfect so I can have a great take. But then I'm like oh, that one second yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna upload it.
Speaker 11:and then it came to the, the point where you were telling me about because you used to make videos from your cars the Lexus, and you're like, at the end of the day, the mistakes doesn't matter as long as it gets seen. And that's what made me. I don't know if you remember, but I made some videos at a certain point and I was putting it out.
Speaker 6:And.
Speaker 11:I look back and it was bad quality and everything, but it's all a part of the process.
Speaker 6:You learn from it.
Speaker 11:Bro, I watched the podcast. So when you were saying like you had learned you had some videos but you didn't press record and stuff, yeah, trial and error, right, right. And so, yeah, man, just keep on going. I mean this year I had to take a break. Mental and health issues happen being in the ER and stuff like that.
Speaker 11:But now I'm back up and I was telling DJ, we got to get one where it's like very intimate yeah from from my start and everything, because, bro, my, my reach is so far and and I know a lot of people that I can even help you guys get interacted with, because my whole thing was okay. I'm a producer first, so let me help others first before I even help myself you know right and um, I I got a homie too, like he. He has this crazy drive and when I'm down he picks me up, and when he's down I pick him up.
Speaker 11:That thing and it's all music and and even at that, hopefully you guys interview him one day and we could get something I hope so absolutely, man.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you for coming on, man I appreciate it and we'll definitely link up afterwards.
Speaker 5:Man, it's something that you deserve yeah, we're gonna have to really deep dive in the next interview. I'm excited, bro. I'm glad you came out here.

Speaker 15:I'm giving myself right now five, and I have a headset on.
Speaker 5:Yes, yes, sound deafening, by the way. Oh which I mean thank you.

Speaker 2:God, it's starting to lower Right when we talk. It's going to fucking bump up again, yeah.
Speaker 5:Damn, these mics are loud. I love the pregame feeling of it all.
Speaker 15:Yeah, behind the stage, what's up? What a vibe.
Speaker 2:All right, can you hear me right there? You can barely hear us but a little bit. What, what, what? Let me get you in the frame.
Speaker 16:Oh my God, man, what's up man? We turned up live with the best podcast in the building.
Speaker 16:You know what, man? I'm super hyped to see these guys here. I've seen them doing works behind the scenes. I think that you know they're doing a lot of great stuff for Fresno and you know what? Let's keep turning this thing up, man. Make sure you follow them. I go by the name of Johnny Donatello and this is the podcast you guys want to watch. Man, big stuff. I'm ready to see you guys do big stuff with big. You know what I mean Bigger stars, like you know it's. We're here with the Fresno's finest. All we got is today, man.
Speaker 5:That's right.
Speaker 16:How long have you guys been doing this podcast? I've been doing it for three years.
Speaker 5:I joined in a little bit later. I was on a two year run.
Speaker 16:The interviewer just became the interviewee. Thank you. Tell us a little bit about how this got started. You guys got Different demographics of the crew, so the way that everything started the way that everything started. Tell us a little bit about how this got started.
Speaker 2:You know you guys got. I see different demographics of the crew. So the way that everything started, the way that everything started was definitely out of hopes and dreams. I was working in the fields. I've been working in the fields for almost 11 years Now. I'm a truck driver. So you see a transition from my life from the beginning of the podcast. Okay To like where it's at now.
Speaker 7:Wait, why are you guys hiding? Now you guys are a part of it.
Speaker 16:You guys are all part of the podcast.
Speaker 15:No, I'm not.
Speaker 16:Oh, I thought you were part of the podcast, I was like, hey, man, they're trying to get every demographic.
Speaker 2:They got a brown a white guy, a black guy.
Speaker 16:I was like hey, yo, you guys got it all.
Speaker 15:And this is Fresno, cultural diversity right here, and and we're a melting pot, yeah, and I'm half Palestinian as well, so I pull in a little bit of flavor. I know it doesn't look like it, man I know so is that your riz right there?
Speaker 16:Yeah, that's my riz.
Speaker 15:That's actually how I get free drinks. At a bar I always talk to somebody. I was like, if you can guess my ethnicity In five tries, I'll buy you a drink. If not, you have to buy me one.
Speaker 16:I've gotten many free drinks now I feel like a jerk. I just feel like I just came up here rudely interrupted. So what do you?
Speaker 15:do. What do you? Um, so, my, yeah, I got you my full-time job. I actually work as a reporter and then after work, I get to do fun things like this. Um, I travel throughout california for festivals. I just covered outside lands. Well, who do you report for? Uh, gv wire here in fresno, oh, okay, dope, yeah. So, uh, it's an online digital and then, uh, I do this.
Speaker 16:Uh, well, digital is the wave right oh yeah, I mean I just did a two white heart radio interviews. I saw that. I saw that crazy man and it's crazy. Like you know, I was just in riverside on monday with nick mack and it's like it's crazy to think about how the power of digital is so strong.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 16:That I was here with Carmen here in town and she was. Like you know, my station actually plays out in the coast too. Oh, really, like Santa Cruz area and all of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 16:I'm like, wow, that's crazy. You know, you got the station here in Fresno, you can reach the world yeah.
Speaker 2:Very much like you guys. Man, I appreciate that. Man, all right, so just to kind of continue going what you were saying. So, okay, you worked in the field. Yes, I worked in the field since I was 13, so I did it for 11 years and then I got into trucking uh, career shift for sure.
Speaker 2:So you're mexican yeah, oh, straight born, first generation, uh, here, um, so definitely definitely trying to do big things. I've been doing this podcast for three years. It was always a side thing that I enjoyed doing and I did it for self love, reflection, all that, and it just it did, it did good. Somehow, some way I I grew a good fan base. I'm on Spotify, iheartradio, pandora, I mean, the list goes on and on.
Speaker 16:Um, I would. The one thing that I do say to everybody is you can go ahead and Google Broke Boys from Fresno and it's going to pop up a whole thing. So you're pulling out the Google me card. I gotta pull it out. Mance is getting a little fancy up here it's intimidating.
Speaker 2:When I had the meeting with Devin and I told him yeah, I try to reach out to all the artists. One of the things that I put on is if you don't believe anything of who I am, do some research. Google broke boys from fresno, so that way it just shows like hey, it further validates my message. So here's the question right.
Speaker 16:What's up? The? The, the concept is broke boys. At some point, this success and you're no longer a broke boy, so does that change the podcast absolutely?
Speaker 2:not broke boys is represented, representation of when you go through a lot of things, whether it's mental health, whether it's financial problems, whether it's anything that you go through in life mishap, failures, you name it. That's the reason why it was broken. And then, when I came up with the concept with boys, it's just because you have to evolve into being a man. Okay, so Broke Boys. And then, obviously, I'm from Fresno, yeah, so born and raised Dropping gems, damn All right.
Speaker 16:So no, I like it, man. You know, part of what I do, man, is I mean, I feel like I'm a tool of all trades. I'm actually about to perform here. I probably should get going because of my sense at any time. Yeah, man, I just see you guys doing your thing. I was like how can you guys hear anything? I was like, yeah, my head is shaking you know and I can go over there we tried doing it right now and it was just loud, yeah.
Speaker 16:So, hey, man, congratulations on your success appreciate it, yeah yeah, and you know, amazing to know that you have two cultures free palestine, right? You know it's like I'm sure that's a big thing and then you bringing that out, I mean, it's only going to let the information get out there in the world. We just want peace in the world. That's it, man. We want to be able to pull up to Home Depot and ice is not waiting there. Exactly the only ice we like is inside of a freezer.
Speaker 3:Yes, sir.
Speaker 16:So it's just those kind of things. You know, in Fresno, california, a lot of things could stop people from really becoming successful. There's a lot of hate in the world and you guys are showing a little piece of love in a small place, man, so congratulations to your success.
Speaker 15:All right brother, appreciate it, brother. Thank you very much, I man. Thank you that was dope.
Speaker 16:It was a pleasure to meet you, man.
Speaker 2:Thank you all right, anthony, very nice to meet you.
Speaker 16:You got each other on Instagram, oh yeah yeah, I think I got you, yeah, yeah. I'll find you Johnny. Donatello.
Speaker 2:Johnny Donatello yeah, awesome all right, it's great just to have people come around and just be confident enough to just come and just say what's up and I like that, I like that 100 and I felt like an honorary broke boy.
Speaker 15:Oh yeah, like it was great I was in here. I felt like I was part. You were like I'm leaving. Oh yeah, if you saw me no, no no, yeah, watch the clip.
Speaker 15:I'm like handing my headset over. I'm like interview done. Yeah, I was like I'll go stand on the side. It's totally, totally fine. But that's something I think is really, really big about the culture here in Fresno is that when people see this we don't see this often A whole setup. We have people podcasting out here in Chukchansi Park. We don't normally get this. This is a very LA, this is very San Francisco, but it's growing here in Fresno.
Speaker 15:People care about what's happening in fresno yes uh, as much as people are like, oh, I want to live in a big city, we are becoming a big city, yeah, uh, and we're getting to the point where, uh, the people here we're, we're big enough to do something, yes, like, uh, I'm now stuttering, I'm getting very passionate on it.
Speaker 15:Actually hold on, I had a sin in my mouth. Don't tell my mother, but we have the Chainsmokers headlining. We have Sage the Gemini, we have Ian Dior, we have Pee Lo. We have so many people that are coming out to little Fresno, california, and sure it's going to be hot. We're used to being hot. We're coming out to little Fresno, california, and sure it's going to be hot. We're used to being hot. We're hot already. Yeah, and if you say no in the comments, I swear. But this is us, this is Fresno, and we have enough people to make these things successful. Yes, we just need to stop doubting it and being like, hey, this is not a big city, so why are we trying?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then I think that's the whole point is that, beginning this, I even told everybody why do I feel like I have to leave Fresno to do something big? Why not showcase this? This is home, this is where we're from, so I'm going to enlighten it, no matter what. So, literally a few days ago, we were on this parking garage on the other side and we shot a whole video, a whole podcast episode, in the night, sunset, with our sponsor Never Trusted.
Speaker 2:So I've always told myself, like I'm going to get a power generator, a little one, and I want to go mobile. I don't want to get a studio, I don't need a fancy studio, I just want to go to people, I just want to go have fun. If I want to go to the beach and record an episode at the beach, why not? Yeah, and I did one at the lake. So the beach one is definitely coming for sure. But it's a process that you got to start and you got to continue doing. Oh, yeah, and for you, I mean, how is it hard? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm studying.
Speaker 15:Oh no, you're all good. So there's so much love out here that you're kind of just wrapped into it. Earlier today we were talking about watching each other's content. We all bonded together and then at this point we're all best friends. It's one of those things where we don't even need to talk to each other, but it's a podcast and we have to talk but yeah, no, and also real quick on the ocean and going to the beach one. It has to be Pismo, because that is a little Fresno, but yeah what were you saying?
Speaker 2:How is it being a reporter? What are the ups, the downs? What was your journey like in the beginning?
Speaker 15:Yeah, so the journey is very interesting. I actually started at Bitwise here in Fresno. I was working for a fraternity before that, so I was actually traveling to Canada all across the East Coast. Wow, came back for Bitwise. I was here during the demise of Bitwise.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 15:And then was unemployed for about five months, then found GV Wire, which was actually the organization that outed Bitwise's financial struggles and really broke that news, and so I kind of fell together and I'm very lucky to be a part of it, and so my full-time job is reporting, but when I'm after hours I get to do these fun entertainment, social interactions, and so it really gives me kind of dual citizenship in a way where I'm able to be out here, speak with people, and it doesn't always have to be a hard-hitting story or a hard-hitting beat. There it goes again.
Speaker 2:So they've been sound-checking all night and the sound works, and I don't know how much we need to tell them the same because you can hear it and I'm glad that people are going to see this and this is going to be the highlight pretty soon, in a few days and even tomorrow, for giddy up. Are you going to be there for giddy up and groove?
Speaker 15:I'm not sure quite yet yeah.
Speaker 15:I've been actually slacking on the gym workouts this week, so got to get back on the routine 100%. It is really taken a tool. But, um, I I'm going to try to at least be here for a little bit tomorrow, a little bit on Sunday as well, where EDM really takes center stage. Um, but I know the main course is dog days, which is amazing that it started at Fresno state and now it's starting to. It's this man, like I remember when I was younger and I said this in my video that went out, I think, today yeah, I saw it today yeah, all the days are one um, but uh it.
Speaker 15:It's so funny to see where we watch the grizzlies, where we watch banana ball, where we watch all these things now being covered in these, uh, white tiles. Right, yeah, these white tiles. And if I was to look at a picture of just the stage in the set, I would think that I'm at outside lands, I would think that I'm at coachella, like I would think I'm elsewhere. But again, when you look around, you see fresno's iconic historic buildings that we see and I know for a lot of people when they're coming down the 99 and they see it in the horizon, they're like shit, I'm home, yeah.
Speaker 15:But this is home, and so let's make the best of it, and that's what the organizers here at Dog Days Fest is doing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's good. That's good to hear. Man, is there anything that you want to say to the listeners, or to anybody you shout out, or any inspirational things that you want to tell them, whether it's content creation, whether it's reporting, whether it's just life?
Speaker 15:Yeah, absolutely. Um, I have a couple things. So my name is Anthony Haddad. You can follow me on social media. Anthony W Haddad the W is for Waseem, in Arabic that means handsome. So my parents really helped him.
Speaker 15:Try and tried, um, you be the judge, but not in the comments, um. But the other thing I have to say is the people of this podcast are so genuine and authentic, and I truly do mean that. That's not just you can cut the cameras dead, ass, um. But truly the feeling of home, the feeling of family and listening to their stories as well, to understand why they got here and why they are doing this. It is not for money, it is not for clout, it is not to feel like you're better than anybody else. It is to be a part of the community and show off the big parts of the community.
Speaker 15:And I just met them literally what was it? 45 minutes ago, an hour ago, something like that. And the conversation I already had is like I'm going to be watching all of their podcasts. I'm going to be trying to be on all these podcasts. I am now the third. Is it only usually you two? I'm the third broke boy, but it's B-O-I. But it's truly genuine and I'm so glad I know that we were talking to, um uh, mr Donatello, a little earlier um, that you all are getting that following because it's deserved. It is not something that it's. You guys are not pushing an agenda. Besides, this is Fresno, this is family. Everyone that is walking past us right now is part of our community.
Speaker 11:Yes, and honestly.
Speaker 15:That's a big message. Obviously, follow me on Instagram and social medias if you want to. I'm not going to say no, dm me if you want. Send me memes. Be funny, I love it, but accidentally licked the mic. Don't DM me that stuff. But I definitely do want to tell your audience that meeting y'all in person. It is exactly what you're getting on the podcast.
Speaker 5:And thank you for that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2:That means a lot.
Speaker 5:We stand on that, you know, being genuine and creating genuine connections bro, I forgot, I muted your mic. No, that was already muted. There you go, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 15:Yeah, yeah, see here he doesn't even want him on.
Speaker 5:He's good man, because I feel like a lot of people think of podcasts and they're like oh, it's scripted, like y'all probably already know this person beforehand. As you guys have been seeing, this entire time we've just been bringing people on. People have been just coming on. Yeah, one of my homies, my boy Dion, shout out to UZ Dion, he's in the scene right now. But it's just insane. This is genuinely how it is. We're not here pushing some agenda. Like you said, it's making genuine connections and putting on for Fresno, giving the people a voice that they deserve, without the strings attached, of course. Thank you for being on.
Speaker 15:Of course and seriously, because we were speaking a little bit earlier about this too A lot of people may have an agenda, especially in the bigger cities. When I was at Outside Lands, I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of media and some that were a little bit more guarded.
Speaker 11:And they wanted their content.
Speaker 15:They wanted to get in and get out, and some of us, we just went around. We ended up in front of stages and it was probably the most wild thing in my life, and so what I saw is that me being genuine and meeting genuine people that actually care is what this is truly about. Yes, like obviously. Yes, I do love to watch my follower number go up, I love to watch the views go up, but it's not because I'm like, oh, this, now I can influence you to get some of this soap. Like you think I use soap, come on now. But it's more so of like I want to share this, I want to share so for a lot of people when they go to festivals, they can't go to those festivals.
Speaker 15:Share that Share the stories, the experiences and, like you said, meeting random people. We're not here to bite. Stop it, stop it, stop it in the comments.
Speaker 17:I see you trying to type.
Speaker 15:I get it. I'm not here to yuck your yum. We're Fresnans and we want this community to thrive. We want this community to get better, and the way that we can get better is things like this being together, being able to, uh, just communicate and oh hey, edward, um, and be a family yeah, yeah, one thousand percent.
Speaker 5:We appreciate you coming on here. Man, it's been a blessing seeing you.
Speaker 2:Meeting you for the first time, yes, it's been insane brother and we definitely got to link up again and do something more uh intimate. Like I said, uh, if you watch all my other episodes like these aren't going to be quick interviews like this. It's a full commitment, it's a full thing to just dive deep. Whatever you want to talk about, anything it could be entertainment and you're such a I can sense. You're charismatic, I can sense your aura. You're an incredible person and you are genuine as well, Thank you.
Speaker 15:Thank you for being on and I appreciate you, man. Thank you so much. Thank you. And then, who's cutting the chat? Just kidding, just kidding. But no, I would love to be on because this is fun. Heck, yeah, man Heck yeah, and sorry, I sweat all over the place.
Speaker 2:No, you're fine.
Speaker 15:It's hot, it's hot, don't worry about it.

Speaker 18:your name. My name is Sky Groom. I'm a six months ago.
Speaker 7:Okay, welcome to Fresno, where are you from originally Columbus, ohio, columbus, ohio? Yeah, and say your name one more time Sky Groom, sky Groom, y'all S-K-Y-E, everybody, take one step back. Just a little bit Groom, like Biden Groom.
Speaker 18:Hey, hold on, if I take one more step back, I'm going to be in there I'm going to be catching a foul ball.
Speaker 5:All right, so tell us about your experience being a comedian man. When did you first start out?
Speaker 18:So I started out in 2012, roughly, it was a little bit before that that I really really got into it. I would say 2012 was when I really got into it. You know what I mean. But I graduated high school in 2003, okay, and the year after that. That is when I got into stand-up comedy. Gotcha. And when I went into stand-up comedy, it was everyone and all my friends were like dude, you need to go to stand-up comedy, you're hilarious, yeah, yeah. But the thing was is I didn't know what it took to be a stand-up comedian, right, right.
Speaker 7:You know what I mean. What does it take for the people who don't know Shh?
Speaker 18:Dude it takes. I bombed the first two times. I went on stage. Where were you? Performing at what the hell Steve.
Speaker 7:How old were you? Do you like chicken? Do you know where you're at right?
Speaker 18:now Fresno State. I like chicken, I like beef.
Speaker 16:Shit, I like a lot of shit. I like a damn kebab, you know.
Speaker 18:I really love tapenaki, you know, give me some tapenaki.
Speaker 7:Sky groom y'all.
Speaker 18:No, hold on, Hold on. So you asked me where I was. Yes, so the first time that I ever performed was at the Funny Bone in Columbus, ohio. Okay, alright, now I went there and I, you know I performed in theater and done a lot. Right, you know what I mean. But doing stand-up comedy is different than performing a live theater event.
Speaker 7:Yes, right, because it's like improv 110%. I mean, yeah, it's way different Because the crowd is going to be different every time. You can write a set and then perform that, but it's almost like performers when they make music you have to kind of know the demographic and the crowd before you go out there, especially in different cities. Yeah, and what jokes is funny, and what jokes is not?
Speaker 11:Because you don't want to say nigga, and it's a whole crowd full of black people, everybody's not going to be happy.
Speaker 7:Everybody's going to be laughing. I'm telling you right now, so it's important, but if you got it, you can do what you want to do. If you got it, you can do what you want to do.
Speaker 18:Yeah, I don't use that word. I'd definitely be X-Nate on the it night. You know what I mean, right on, yeah, straight up. But to be real with you guys, you know 100%. I mean it takes practice. It takes, you know, learning. I'm an impressionist, so I do 122 accents and impersonations to a T. Right, you know I work these. I'm that guy that you see walking down the street and he's like the fuck, is that talking about?
Speaker 7:Who are some of your favorite comedians that you like to?
Speaker 18:impersonate, I mean if I had to say, give us your best, jim Carrey.
Speaker 7:Can you do, jim Carrey?
Speaker 18:What's in here, citizens of America? I mean just it's getting into the character. Can you do, eddie Murphy? Oh, please, eddie Murphy. What do you want, eddie Murphy? In what?

And, first of all and foremost, I've seen as many venues as, first of all, do you know that they have alcohol here? That is, jameson, me and J-Mo. We are really close. I don't know if you know this or not, bitch, but I'm just going to tell you something. Right now, bitch, we are fucking for real. We are close as most.

Speaker 7:State played last week.
Speaker 18:And this is what I'm saying is we don't even know who the fuck we playing.
Speaker 5:I am not inclined by sports, by any means. Nobody is no shade, no shade, love Fresno State.
Speaker 18:This by any means Nobody is just no shade, no shade Love. Fresno State. This episode is everywhere. What I'm saying is this and this is crazy, I mean, I'm just you telling me that you don't even know who the fuck we playing. I mean, do you care? Does anybody care? I mean, this motherfucker don't even. Hey, sir, sir, you smoking the glizzle. Let me just ask you for rizzle. Do you know who Fresno State is playing this weekend? I can find out for you.

Speaker 18:She just didn't care for me entertaining, she just went to my hole. But you know what I'm saying when you are an actor and stand-up comic, and I'm sure you guys understand this. It made me upset that she would let me and want me to get rid of everything. Because she could have had the fucking life I mean she could have had the life I don't know. Just give me my time to do my shit. That's real.
Speaker 5:And destroying somebody else's career is kind of crazy. I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 7:So what drives you? What drives you to be a, you know and I don't want to just call you a comedian, because obviously you said you have other talents, but what drives you to be a creative?
Speaker 18:Okay. So my father told me I was never going to mount to nothing, and you know that resonated at home in my freshman year. You know he said you ain't going to never mount to shit. But I proceeded. I went to New York, I went to LA. Everyone said I had potential, everyone had it. The only thing is is I just don't have the manager. That's it. That's the only reason. And the three managers that I had wouldn't even give me the opportunity. Right, you know what I mean. Like, give me three auditions, interviews, if you will, for the month. That was it.
Speaker 3:Right, give me something man you will for the month.
Speaker 18:That was it. Right, give me something man. Right, dude, I can do so much. Right, you know what I mean and I respect talent, you know. This is why I come to things like this and do it for free, right, like if you were to tell me guys, you'd be like hey, do a stand-up comedy set right now for 30 minutes. I think you can do it.
Speaker 7:I believe you because we've been talking for almost 30 minutes.
