4:53
Speaker 1: I went to UM. I was at UM this restaurant
4:56
Speaker 1: and I miss ordered, I'm gona tell you, And it
4:59
Speaker 1: was a mushroom burger. See, I just thought, you know,
5:03
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I was a mushoot on
5:05
Speaker 1: my burger. But it was just a giant mushroom in that.
5:08
Speaker 1: And I would arguing what I wasn't looking at man,
5:11
Speaker 1: where is my meat? Where is my meat? The guy said, certain,
5:16
Speaker 1: you ordered it? I said, or didn't? No, I did not.
5:19
Speaker 1: I did not ordered this burger right there, I wrote down.
5:22
Speaker 1: My wife said, you know, she pulls something when I
5:24
Speaker 1: get loud in public. Baby this man, you know, baby,
5:30
Speaker 1: I don't need no burger like this and so and
5:34
Speaker 1: so so. Now the black being burger, I can say,
5:37
Speaker 1: I am a guy who understands the value of being
5:40
Speaker 1: a vegan. Yeah, but back then when I ordered that
5:43
Speaker 1: mushroom burger with no meat, your ball was struggling. Call,
5:46
Speaker 1: I was struggling. I was struggling. You know, it's it's
5:51
Speaker 1: all about the flavor, man. And you know how they
5:53
Speaker 1: season it that it's all about that man. Well, you
5:55
Speaker 1: don't even you don't even miss the meet. If they
5:57
Speaker 1: do it right, if they're do it right, they're do
5:59
Speaker 1: it right. Just so, so, how much were you involved
6:02
Speaker 1: in the whole process, because this talking from an entrepreneur standpoint,
6:06
Speaker 1: that you you had to get involved in this and
6:08
Speaker 1: just to just slap your name and your association with
6:11
Speaker 1: this process. Correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah with uh Derek Berry,
6:16
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Uh talked about it a lot.
6:18
Speaker 1: You know. Of course, the burgers had to be good,
6:20
Speaker 1: the mall had to be good. And the cool thing
6:22
Speaker 1: about it is that I went to say by the
6:24
Speaker 1: Max a couple of times, a few times, just to
6:26
Speaker 1: make sure to see how they were doing it when
6:29
Speaker 1: they did it with say, by the Bell, so I
6:31
Speaker 1: wanted to see the atmosphere and see how that work.
6:34
Speaker 1: And they were very successful with doing that. I mean,
6:36
Speaker 1: they were only supposed to be in Chicago for a
6:38
Speaker 1: few months and ended up being two years. So uh
6:41
Speaker 1: and then they did the same thing in Los Angeles,
6:43
Speaker 1: and so I knew that this would be amazing for
6:48
Speaker 1: uh Nickelodeon. And so from there when I saw it,
6:51
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, let me take it over to Nickelodeon,
6:53
Speaker 1: get the licensing deal, let's make everything happened. And UH
6:56
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon was like, I can't believe we didn't think it is.
7:01
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, that's why I brought it in.
7:04
Speaker 1: Looking around the room up now I'm bringing this idea.
7:08
Speaker 1: This is me, this is me. I'm not this is
7:11
Speaker 1: me exactly man. And so I've just been excited about
7:16
Speaker 1: it and it's it's it's awesome to have some ownership
7:18
Speaker 1: in it, uh into partner up with some amazing folks,
7:21
Speaker 1: and uh into partner up the Nickelodeon as well, and
7:24
Speaker 1: it's just been it's been awesome. I'm excited and I'm
7:26
Speaker 1: excited about the response because everyone we tell it too.
7:29
Speaker 1: I mean the smile that comes over their faces. Because
7:32
Speaker 1: when you walk into this place like you're when you
7:34
Speaker 1: walk in, it's literally gonna be good Birgers. But when
7:37
Speaker 1: you walk in, it's going to look like you're of
7:41
Speaker 1: good birth. Behind that counter of looking crazy, you know,
7:45
Speaker 1: looking burgers wrong, I'm good. Just stand over the autograph,
7:48
Speaker 1: take pictures. If you're behind that count, I'm gonna question
7:50
Speaker 1: everything back then, you know that right, Well, no, we
7:56
Speaker 1: we haven't. We have our employees there you go, but
8:00
Speaker 1: you know, I might, I might have to come there
8:02
Speaker 1: and you know, fun, I'm not gonna be cooking though, Burden.
8:06
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of this conversation that we're having from
8:09
Speaker 1: watching you grow. And that's what I was just saying
8:11
Speaker 1: when I first saw your way back then, you know,
8:13
Speaker 1: just understanding the entrepreneurship side of you, your brand, and
8:17
Speaker 1: you know you've done independent movies and all that stuff,
8:19
Speaker 1: and now you made a full circle you come back
8:21
Speaker 1: to Nickelodeon all that. Yes, yeah, come on man, and
8:28
Speaker 1: that that that to to be able to walk back
8:31
Speaker 1: come back home like that, and to be an executive producer,
8:34
Speaker 1: that had to have an emotional reaction to uh it
8:39
Speaker 1: totally did. Man, it totally did. And the thing about
8:43
Speaker 1: it though, is that the process you talked about a
8:45
Speaker 1: little bit about that with the intro that you did
8:48
Speaker 1: right before. It's uh, humbling yourself because it's a lot
8:51
Speaker 1: of a lot of actors that have done stuff from
8:54
Speaker 1: the past, uh that they were very successful in and
8:57
Speaker 1: they shut it and because they're like, well, I want
8:59
Speaker 1: to do something different, I want to be this different
9:02
Speaker 1: type of person. It's like, yeah, you can do other
9:04
Speaker 1: things that are different, but don't shun your journey. Don't
9:06
Speaker 1: shun what you did in the past that was very
9:09
Speaker 1: successful because you don't know who's there now you know
9:13
Speaker 1: the people and why they're like you. They could have
9:15
Speaker 1: been a fan when they were younger. Now they're adults
9:17
Speaker 1: and they're they're making the shots right now. So and
9:20
Speaker 1: and just the fact that it was a blessing that
9:22
Speaker 1: was given to you. So don't don't don't do that.
9:25
Speaker 1: You don't know what doors can open. And really what
9:27
Speaker 1: it was was that in this business, when you go
9:29
Speaker 1: through ups and downs as an actor, you do get
9:32
Speaker 1: to a point where it's like you start looking at
9:34
Speaker 1: everybody else their journey and you say to yourself, why
9:38
Speaker 1: are they getting those opportunities and why is this happening?
9:40
Speaker 1: And then you start trying to uh duplicate them, but
9:44
Speaker 1: then the problem with that is that you end up
9:47
Speaker 1: just being some type of like for Gazzy or just
9:50
Speaker 1: a copy and you need to you need to be yourself.
9:54
Speaker 1: And what happened with me with with that is through
9:57
Speaker 1: my faith. Through it's through to my faith and blowing
10:00
Speaker 1: myself and really listening to the Holy Spirit on what
10:04
Speaker 1: direction I should go in. And the reason why that
10:07
Speaker 1: happened because, Uh, in my family, I look at everything
10:10
Speaker 1: where the Lord is part of everything. So my business,
10:13
Speaker 1: you know, my career, my family, everything, I take it
10:17
Speaker 1: up to Press and I take it up to him.
10:19
Speaker 1: And you know, faith without action is dead. You gotta
10:21
Speaker 1: go after it. Once you get it, you gotta go
10:23
Speaker 1: after it. And so, uh, it was just me really
10:26
Speaker 1: humbling myself to say, you know, let me do this.
10:28
Speaker 1: And it was an opportunity a while back that came
10:31
Speaker 1: up with just me guest starring on my old shows
10:34
Speaker 1: from Nickelodeon. It was just like a guest star role
10:37
Speaker 1: for a new Nickelodeon show and I just did that.
10:40
Speaker 1: I just did it on you know and and of
10:43
Speaker 1: course in the flesh, I was thinking, like, I mean,
10:45
Speaker 1: anybody trying to go back to that end they making
10:47
Speaker 1: me this and all, come on, man, please, But when
10:50
Speaker 1: I did that, the amount of people that were so
10:53
Speaker 1: excited just me being on this show, and that went
10:55
Speaker 1: from me doing other things over there and this was
10:58
Speaker 1: over you know, of course over some years, let's be
11:01
Speaker 1: doing different, different things over there. And then all of
11:04
Speaker 1: a sudden, I got my own show over there, which
11:07
Speaker 1: was called Game Shakers, which was another show that I
11:10
Speaker 1: did that introduced me to a whole new generation of
11:14
Speaker 1: kids that like me for different reads. Didn't even look
11:17
Speaker 1: at like good Burgers. Ain't know nothing about that all
11:22
Speaker 1: that thought. Because we gonna come back to the next break,
11:24
Speaker 1: because uh, you're inspired, my friend, and I'm so happy
11:27
Speaker 1: for you, and we're gonna talk about the other shows,
11:30
Speaker 1: the other projects that you're involved in. Mr. Good Burger's
11:32
Speaker 1: back baby. Hi. This ra Sean McDonald and you're listening
11:36
Speaker 1: to money making conversations on I'm interviewing. Um, I'm gonna
11:40
Speaker 1: call my old friend and saw him a long time,
11:42
Speaker 1: definitely hadn't talked to him in a long time before
11:45
Speaker 1: the interview ended in at last break, he talked about
11:47
Speaker 1: how you can get caught up and watching your peers
11:49
Speaker 1: and your other other people who are who are somehow
11:52
Speaker 1: at the same level of you, and a suddenly they
11:54
Speaker 1: started just sprouting the different levels. And now I'm just
11:56
Speaker 1: gonna give an example with Steve Harvey and I. We've
12:00
Speaker 1: done that. We had all performed in the King of Comedy.
12:02
Speaker 1: I had my little cameo in the back. Everybody knows
12:04
Speaker 1: that I'm a cameo. I'm a cameo in Kings Comments.
12:07
Speaker 1: Just watch it. I'm back there, Steve, give me his
12:09
Speaker 1: kids and run on stage. You know, Yeah, just Cedric
12:14
Speaker 1: going there. You had Bernie Mac Yeah, deal Hugley and
12:17
Speaker 1: uh and so Steve and I decided to do a
12:20
Speaker 1: radio deal, a big radio deal in Los Angeles, so
12:23
Speaker 1: it felt like a local radio but we had a plan.
12:26
Speaker 1: We knew what we was doing. We was trying to
12:28
Speaker 1: We were taking control of his career so he didn't
12:30
Speaker 1: have to worry about auditioning it for that audition and
12:32
Speaker 1: that we had a regular check every week, and we
12:35
Speaker 1: were in one of the hotter radio stage. But people
12:37
Speaker 1: saw us as some way He's taking a step back
12:40
Speaker 1: to everybody because at the time Cisor had the number
12:42
Speaker 1: one commercial super Bowl commercial. You know, Bernie mac was
12:45
Speaker 1: doing those all those all those movies with with George
12:50
Speaker 1: Clooney and everybody there, Charlie's Angels and d L was
12:54
Speaker 1: doing his thing here the sitcom and everything. So it
12:57
Speaker 1: looked like we were we were falling back. But what
13:01
Speaker 1: we couldn't do is act like we didn't have a plan.
13:04
Speaker 1: And that's all he was saying. Sometimes you get so
13:06
Speaker 1: caught up. Hey man, we better get a movie. We
13:09
Speaker 1: better go do uh, we better go do it. I know,
13:11
Speaker 1: like they offered the Soul plane and we said no.
13:13
Speaker 1: M Jim, the president of m JIM came to us
13:15
Speaker 1: said we want you, we want you to start a
13:18
Speaker 1: sole plain Steve, and I looked at Jo, Nah, we
13:21
Speaker 1: won't do so plain, you know, and so so opportunities
13:24
Speaker 1: came my way and we said no to it. And
13:26
Speaker 1: that's why you have to understand that you cannot jump
13:29
Speaker 1: out there and let let the let other people dictate
13:32
Speaker 1: your pace. And that's all he's saying. And when you dictate,
13:35
Speaker 1: let other people dictate your pace. And who are you
13:38
Speaker 1: what are you trying to do? What are you trying
13:40
Speaker 1: to represent what is your brand? And if I stand
13:42
Speaker 1: to this brand. And he also said something real quick,
13:45
Speaker 1: he said I had to humble myself. And he said
13:47
Speaker 1: something else, Man, I had the audition just a lot
13:50
Speaker 1: of things you would do in life to be successful.
13:53
Speaker 1: That you have to make the decision that it is
13:56
Speaker 1: right for you and not worry about what somebody else thinks,
13:58
Speaker 1: because in the end is a lot of great actors
14:01
Speaker 1: and actors who have auditioned for stuff and guess what
14:05
Speaker 1: have become Oscar winners have become a household names. Well, man,
14:09
Speaker 1: that's why I do want to say that story, because
14:11
Speaker 1: when you said it, I didn't want I didn't want
14:13
Speaker 1: any listener or any fan that not understand what you
14:16
Speaker 1: had just said. I just want to put another example
14:19
Speaker 1: of somebody who's world famous right now because he held back.
14:23
Speaker 1: We held back, and we made a decision not to
14:25
Speaker 1: chase opportunity but stick with the plan. And that's what
14:28
Speaker 1: you're doing. That's why that's why I put That's why
14:30
Speaker 1: I talked about those three things that are that drive
14:32
Speaker 1: you at the top. You know what I'm saying, Faith, family,
14:35
Speaker 1: and fitness. Yep, yep, yeah, you gotta you. You gotta
14:40
Speaker 1: know your brand and you gotta know who you are.
14:43
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is that a lot of
14:45
Speaker 1: celebrities get jaded, but you gotta know your annointing doesn't
14:48
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Everybody's talented, everybody's annointed doesn't go anywhere. And
14:53
Speaker 1: it's like when you were saying about harnessing the talent,
14:57
Speaker 1: you gotta ask the Lord to show you, Okay, where,
15:00
Speaker 1: why is this happening? Why am I here? So every
15:04
Speaker 1: job that I look at, it's like, well, who can
15:05
Speaker 1: I inspire? Who can I uh empower? Why am I
15:09
Speaker 1: doing this? And what I found out that what in
15:12
Speaker 1: the time that, uh, some of my peers were doing
15:14
Speaker 1: some things that I might have wanted to do. Around
15:16
Speaker 1: that time, the Lord was saying, no, I want you
15:19
Speaker 1: to work within the church. So I became a stage
15:21
Speaker 1: manager within the church. And then he said, okay, I
15:24
Speaker 1: also want you to do work with the colleges and
15:27
Speaker 1: you know, help with the scholarships, with the Black College
15:30
Speaker 1: Expo and all those things were preparing me. And I
15:34
Speaker 1: also started producing my own shows, you know, doing it independently,
15:37
Speaker 1: writing my own shows, uh, putting out DVDs and movies.
15:41
Speaker 1: I did a movie with stead of the entertainer where
15:44
