2:41
Speaker 1: and then I'll ask you to come out be a
2:43
Speaker 1: present at the Neighborhood Awards and your your community guy. Man,
2:47
Speaker 1: I always liked about you, just a regular guy. Fame
2:50
Speaker 1: has been a blessing for you, but it's never taking
2:53
Speaker 1: control of your life. Tell us about that. Oh no,
2:56
Speaker 1: absolutely not. You know, I don't, honestly don't even consider
2:58
Speaker 1: myself say it. I Uh, I'm just an average Joe
3:03
Speaker 1: from the South Side of Chicago who had, you know,
3:06
Speaker 1: some dreams of ascerations. And I was raised well with
3:10
Speaker 1: parents who worked hard and make sure that we would
3:14
Speaker 1: provided with everything that we wanted in our lives. And Um,
3:17
Speaker 1: they believed in me. Um. I was raised with a
3:20
Speaker 1: hair style of grandmother as well too. That's why I
3:23
Speaker 1: feel like I got all of my talent from and Um.
3:26
Speaker 1: You know, I just I. I like to call myself
3:29
Speaker 1: a people's person and I like to be around the people.
3:32
Speaker 1: I don't want to be considered famous, so to speak,
3:34
Speaker 1: because for me, I don't want to anybody to feel
3:36
Speaker 1: that they can approach me. They can't speak to me,
3:38
Speaker 1: they can't see me a d M or a messal
3:39
Speaker 1: to anything like that. You know, I am I am.
3:43
Speaker 1: I feel like with my talent, I like to say
3:46
Speaker 1: that I am serving my God and I'm getting rewarded
3:50
Speaker 1: for it. So that's how I view it more so
3:53
Speaker 1: than this journey of being famous. You know, it's really
3:55
Speaker 1: interesting because that's that's true. You are to you choose
3:59
Speaker 1: your words, but they're all dead on about your personality.
4:02
Speaker 1: Because our relationships started, I'd like to say, prior to
4:06
Speaker 1: the explosion of the social media when definitely, you know,
4:09
Speaker 1: when fame was that. You know, you know, you have
4:11
Speaker 1: to get your website up and running. You had to
4:12
Speaker 1: have your little fan club list and all emails and
4:15
Speaker 1: all that stuff. How has the explosion of the social
4:20
Speaker 1: media Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and stories and all that
4:25
Speaker 1: TikTok now has had an impact on building out your
4:28
Speaker 1: brand and your growth. Oh, it's been. It's been extremely useful.
4:33
Speaker 1: I would say that, you know, I'm still a little
4:35
Speaker 1: old school. I do post. I do use my social
4:38
Speaker 1: media to get information out there and to get things
4:40
Speaker 1: out there about my business and the things that I'm doing,
4:44
Speaker 1: But I don't post as much as most people do,
4:46
Speaker 1: and I definitely don't have I don't even have a
4:48
Speaker 1: website and all that kind of stuff. So I've been
4:52
Speaker 1: been able to be very portuive to be connecting to
4:55
Speaker 1: people through word of mouth. And you know, social media
4:58
Speaker 1: has been great for me as well too, because that's
5:00
Speaker 1: how I got, you know, the gig of doing what
5:02
Speaker 1: I'm doing now with v H one, you know, no
5:06
Speaker 1: vhy They reached out to me on Facebook. The casting
5:10
Speaker 1: company reach out to me via Facebook. Yeah, and then
5:13
Speaker 1: I came in and did a couple of auditions and
5:15
Speaker 1: did the currency tests with them. Are then then in
5:18
Speaker 1: restaurant history basically now we have twenty episodes running on
5:21
Speaker 1: VA twenty and we have the number one training show
5:23
Speaker 1: on VIAS one right now, and I'm very excited about
5:25
Speaker 1: the cat the muticians. So for me, you know, I
5:28
Speaker 1: see the value in um social media. I see um
5:34
Speaker 1: the need for it. I I also find it to
5:37
Speaker 1: be fun. Um. The only time that I feel that,
5:40
Speaker 1: you know, social media could be dangerous and this is
5:43
Speaker 1: a personal choice for people, is when they they make
5:46
Speaker 1: it too important, where it becomes you know, some type
5:50
Speaker 1: of detriments to the insecurities and all those type of things.
5:53
Speaker 1: And that's when I find it to be a little, um,
5:55
Speaker 1: not useful. But other than that, you have self control
5:59
Speaker 1: and you can do that. I think um um media
6:02
Speaker 1: is amazing, you know, I really Uh let's let's we
6:06
Speaker 1: know we're in the middle of a pandemic and we
6:08
Speaker 1: know that African Americans are overtly affected by the by
6:12
Speaker 1: this virus that does not have a vaccine. And then
6:16
Speaker 1: when I have a brother who has uh three or
6:19
Speaker 1: four three barbershops and abautist a lot in the Washington,
6:22
Speaker 1: d C. Maryland area and he just opened back up
6:24
Speaker 1: June first, Okay, we restricted them, it's opened up. With
6:28
Speaker 1: social distancing. You are. I have to say, you're an
6:31
Speaker 1: expert in the beauty and barber industry. You hear the pain,
6:33
Speaker 1: you hear the screens, you hear the frustrations. Tell us
6:36
Speaker 1: about the impact and what what have you been able
6:39
Speaker 1: to do to to assist, if you've been able to assist,
6:42
Speaker 1: and this whole pandemic run of trying to understand when
6:47
Speaker 1: we should open. I'm sure that people have called on
6:49
Speaker 1: your advice talked to us about this time for the
6:51
Speaker 1: beauty and barber industry, which is really suffering and struggling
6:54
Speaker 1: to reopen. Absolutely, you know, I was. I had to
6:58
Speaker 1: catch myself because in the you know, the getting you know,
7:01
Speaker 1: in the middle of the COVID and the quarantine, I
7:03
Speaker 1: saw a lot of posts on Instagram about, you know,
7:06
Speaker 1: saving the restaurants and dada da da and on this
7:08
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you talking about. You can still
7:11
Speaker 1: order out, you can still get the food, you know,
7:13
Speaker 1: but as a hairstyle and then the salon industry, you
7:16
Speaker 1: can't do anything because you can't even be around somebody.
7:19
Speaker 1: So we were, you know, tremendously affected by this whole thing.
7:24
Speaker 1: And um and you know, my advict, I remember when
7:27
Speaker 1: Atlanta was opening up. I remember saying, you know, I
7:31
Speaker 1: have an after show with Tamar that we do every week,
7:34
Speaker 1: and that week that they opened up, we had a
7:35
Speaker 1: few Atlanta stylus come on just to talk about the
7:38
Speaker 1: steps that they were taking to be safe. But you know,
7:41
Speaker 1: it's it's hard, you know, because you want to get
7:44
Speaker 1: back to work outside. I just wanted to make money
7:47
Speaker 1: and to support your stuff. You want to get back
7:49
Speaker 1: to your creative being, you know. For me, I haven't
7:52
Speaker 1: done hair since the show. I mean, we luckily and
7:56
Speaker 1: thankfully we finished. We wrapped the show literally two weeks
8:01
Speaker 1: before lockdown. We wrapped the shows that were done, and
8:04
Speaker 1: that was the last time that I had my hand
8:06
Speaker 1: and some hair. But I haven't done any air to
8:09
Speaker 1: me personally, you know, And I particularly mostly work with celebrities,
8:14
Speaker 1: So there's no celebrities getting done right now, celebrity own
8:18
Speaker 1: red carpet, there are no events happening right now, there
8:21
Speaker 1: aren't anywhere carpets, and production is down also and nobody's
8:24
Speaker 1: doing photo shoots and things like that for content. So
8:27
Speaker 1: I haven't done any hair. So it definitely affected me
8:29
Speaker 1: in that sense, and thankfully, you know, I I you know,
8:33
Speaker 1: I did well with the show, and I have money
8:36
Speaker 1: in the banks, I'm okay. But you know if I
8:39
Speaker 1: if I wasn't in that situation, it would be a
8:41
Speaker 1: hard struggle for me right now. But what I can
8:43
Speaker 1: say for those that are opening back up, make sure
8:48
Speaker 1: that you follow all the precautions and that's necessary to
8:50
Speaker 1: keep your stuff and your clients safe. And this is
8:54
Speaker 1: the perfect time to raise your prices, not only because
8:58
Speaker 1: you deserve it, but I'll out of that, it would
9:01
Speaker 1: make it much easier for you to take less clients,
9:04
Speaker 1: to keep the salon not so fast. So raise your prices,
9:08
Speaker 1: govern them up. It's necessarily raise those prices. That way,
9:12
Speaker 1: you're not working much, you're not working harder as you're
9:15
Speaker 1: working smarter and you're working more safe. My man, Johnny
9:19
Speaker 1: right speaking to us, and uh that you know we
9:23
Speaker 1: I used to always teach you, Johnny, come on the show.
9:25
Speaker 1: We always teach you know you had the first Lady
9:27
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama. You know you fact sometimes you calling the
9:31
Speaker 1: show from the White House. You know are you say
9:33
Speaker 1: are you say? Hey, Well, I can't talk to you
9:35
Speaker 1: guys right now. You know we're in a secure security area.
9:38
Speaker 1: You know, we just has a great conversation, So just
9:40
Speaker 1: talk about that experience. But because being that's a powerful
9:45
Speaker 1: role in the very important role that you played, because
9:47
Speaker 1: you had the respect and uh the First Lady when
9:51
Speaker 1: she was in the White House to the time. I
9:53
Speaker 1: will just talk about that a little bit before we
9:55
Speaker 1: get into the show, which is a fantastic show. VICH
9:57
Speaker 1: wants to Catch a Beautician. Let's talk about the experience
9:59
Speaker 1: of be being being with the First Lady and being
10:02
Speaker 1: the styles of being a confident Yeah, you know, it
10:06
Speaker 1: was just it was an amazing experience for me and
10:09
Speaker 1: I can will not change those eight years for the
10:12
Speaker 1: life of me. So just a lot of things, a
10:14
Speaker 1: lot of times. A lot of people don't know. I
10:16
Speaker 1: moved to Los Angeles back in two thousand and seven too,
10:21
Speaker 1: and I left three hundred clients in Chicago to potentially
10:23
Speaker 1: have a you know, a presence on television. Of course,
10:29
Speaker 1: that got beautifully interrupted by the First Lady and I
10:31
Speaker 1: moved to d C to be with her for those
10:34
Speaker 1: day years and I couldnt have acted for a better experience.
10:37
Speaker 1: I've been to over forty five countries with her. I
10:40
Speaker 1: was able to travel on Airport One and bright Star
10:42
Speaker 1: and all that exclusivity and it was just an amazing
10:45
Speaker 1: experience just to experience the first African American first family
10:50
Speaker 1: at a bird's eye view. Was bart On the best
10:54
Speaker 1: eight years of my life so far, and I'm so
10:58
Speaker 1: honored to and thankful that she chose me to work
11:01
Speaker 1: with her. So my my agent, his name is Kim
11:07
Speaker 1: Barbo and he's still my agents to this day. Back
11:09
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, maybe two two two to three,
11:14
Speaker 1: weeks after they announced on Oprah that they were running
11:16
Speaker 1: for candidacy, he booked me with her for extrass magazine
11:20
Speaker 1: Zene photo shoots, and I didn't think anything of it,
11:23
Speaker 1: to be honest, I wasn't too optimistic and thinking that
11:25
Speaker 1: they were actually going to be in the wire house.
11:27
Speaker 1: So I just took a job is paying editorial weight.
11:30
Speaker 1: I was off that day. I was like, fine, I'll
11:32
Speaker 1: do it, and we met and we hit it off,
11:35
Speaker 1: and then um I got calls to do her again
11:38
Speaker 1: for Old Magazine maybe like a month later, and at
11:40
Speaker 1: the time she wasn't doing covers, of course, she was
11:42
Speaker 1: just doing like a little inserts and get to know
11:45
Speaker 1: this sat life as running for president um And then
11:48
Speaker 1: at that photo shoot between the first photo shoot and
11:51
Speaker 1: the second photo shoot, I had decided to move here
11:53
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and at that photo shoot when we
11:56
Speaker 1: when we wrapped, I said to her, Hey, I'm moved
11:59
Speaker 1: to l A. And now basically like good luck, hope
12:01
Speaker 1: you guys win. And um, I moved to l A
12:05
Speaker 1: maybe a week and so after that, and we were
12:08
Speaker 1: able to keep in touch because she was in California
12:10
Speaker 1: a lot throughout the campaign, and campaign became more and
12:13
Speaker 1: more intense throughout two thousand and eight, and um, she
12:18
Speaker 1: would call me whenever she was in l A to
12:20
Speaker 1: keep her camera ready and I did. And then when
12:22
Speaker 1: it really changed for me is when I was asked
12:25
Speaker 1: to come be with her for the first Democratic National
12:27
Speaker 1: Convention in Denver. And I was with her the whole week.
12:31
Speaker 1: They flew me out and put me out. I was
12:32
Speaker 1: looking at whole week and that's when people really saw mine.
12:35
Speaker 1: Stroke of the brush. You know, that was my first
12:38
Speaker 1: time doing her hair from start to finish, and it
12:41
Speaker 1: made an impact. And once they wanted she asked me
12:43
Speaker 1: and moved to the DC And I did you said,
12:45
Speaker 1: they saw they contacted you through Facebook. That's how you
12:48
Speaker 1: got this show. Yes, Yeah, So the casting director reached
12:52
Speaker 1: out to me directly the page book and said that
12:55
Speaker 1: he was giving all these other artists hairstyle us to
12:59
Speaker 1: look into. But he saw me, found me on his
13:01
Speaker 1: own and he wanted me to come in an audition.
13:04
Speaker 1: And I came in and did audition. They put me
13:06
Speaker 1: on tape and then I did I think I did
13:08
Speaker 1: a second audition, and then they did the chemistry test
13:11
Speaker 1: in that and so everybody see me and having great chemistry. Um,
13:15
Speaker 1: and yet cameraman y'all very very little camera. That's too. Yeah. Yeah,
13:22
Speaker 1: it was great and um and I love the concept
13:25

13:27

15:27
Speaker 1: E r. Dot Ai. When the when the idea came
15:30
Speaker 1: to me about it, you know, and I'm gonna just
15:33
Speaker 1: tell everybody I always try to be honest and authentic
15:35
Speaker 1: on the show. I thought it was going to be
15:36
Speaker 1: like an ambush show, you know what I'm saying, Like
15:39
Speaker 1: the Cheaters type show. We know where where where we
15:42
Speaker 1: leave people feeling bad, you know, the beauticians or whatever
15:46
Speaker 1: you know, and so and so so. So that was
15:49
Speaker 1: my first thought. So when this came as to Johnny
15:51
Speaker 1: got the new show check it out with Shawn to
15:53
Speaker 1: go man to catch a beauticition. You know, I watched
15:55
Speaker 1: because I watched Botch you know by Plastic, you know,
15:58
Speaker 1: watch that then and then, like I said, Cheaters is
16:01
Speaker 1: a closer example of it, where somebody's cheating and you
16:04
Speaker 1: show up with a camera crew and go ha ha.
16:06
Speaker 1: But this show, this show Man, it is not that show.
16:10
Speaker 1: I'm telling everybody it's not that show. And if you
16:13
Speaker 1: watch the beginning of each episode, it clearly tells you
16:17
Speaker 1: the premise. And that's what I like to if you
16:21
Speaker 1: don't know what this show is about, just wanting you
16:23
Speaker 1: gotta need complaints and got you got some stereotypes about it,
16:26
Speaker 1: which what it may be. Watched the opening the show,
16:30
Speaker 1: it tells you exactly what it is about. And when
16:33
Speaker 1: I saw that, when I saw the opening credits, I
16:35
Speaker 1: was sold on the show. Johnny, I really was. That's awesome.
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad we did that
16:41
Speaker 1: show explainer because we wanted people to know what the
16:44
Speaker 1: show was about. And I think that it was going
16:46
Speaker 1: to be one of those reality we make people feel
16:49
Speaker 1: bad and people are fighting all that kind of stuff. Listen,
16:51
Speaker 1: there is drama throughout the show. There is a little
16:55
Speaker 1: bit of a thing, not necessarily an ambus um, but
16:59
Speaker 1: of course that's what a sohow need to keep people attention.
17:01
Speaker 1: But absolutely, but you know, but I would tell you
17:05
Speaker 1: some man, you know, d Richard don't have hair like
17:08
Speaker 1: it used to have. But Richard have had some bad
17:10
Speaker 1: haircuts in his lifetime. Okay, when you gotten and you
17:13
Speaker 1: paid to do the money, Okay, I paid to do
17:16
Speaker 1: the money, walked up mad Okay. And this is basically
17:19
Speaker 1: what this show is about. All those times you've gotten
17:22
Speaker 1: up out of that beauticians, the beauty chair, beautician walked away,
17:26
Speaker 1: you gave the money, walked out there, mad. This show
17:29
Speaker 1: allows you to come back and this this person who
17:33
Speaker 1: took your money happily took your money. No, they didn't
17:36
Speaker 1: deliver the goods. This show allows them to fix the
17:39
Speaker 1: problem and both both parties walk away happy. That's what
17:43
Speaker 1: I liked about the show, John, I really did. I
17:46
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. Man. You need a little sting, you need
17:48
Speaker 1: all that. That's that's entertainment. But the fact that this
17:51
Speaker 1: show allows for both parties now to be satisfied. Like like,
17:56
Speaker 1: for instance, this episode was to do with the cowboyd
17:58
Speaker 1: had right, you know, he walked in because it hide
18:02
Speaker 1: how they set up the show is these people are
18:04
Speaker 1: coming to meet Johnny right, you know, big time Johnny, Right,
18:08
Speaker 1: they said, right, okay, And and and Johnny interviews him
18:12
Speaker 1: and he starts showing them a little different photos about
18:14
Speaker 1: different things they've done. This guy in particular, he had
18:17
Speaker 1: messed up this girl's hair, but on a model, on
18:20
Speaker 1: a model casting call. And so even during his interview Johnny,
18:24
Speaker 1: he admitted he didn't do a good job. Remember he
18:28
Speaker 1: admitted he did do a good job because you asked him.
18:30
Speaker 1: But you think he said, well, we didn't really do
18:32
Speaker 1: a good job on our hair. He said that, So,
18:35
Speaker 1: but did he fix it. No, he kind of messed
18:37
Speaker 1: it up. And then then that's when the sting part
18:41
Speaker 1: he talks about. Then Tamar come running out of back
18:43
Speaker 1: with the camera true camera crew with the Discrotto persons
18:46
Speaker 1: who had the bad hair do, and that sets the
18:48
Speaker 1: temple for the show. That to me, man, is just
18:52
Speaker 1: they are little stunned, you still a little caught off guard,
18:54
Speaker 1: but you're not blasting them and go get your butt
18:57
Speaker 1: out of here. You're a horrible brutician. That's what the
19:00
Speaker 1: That's what I love about that, I'm telling Johnny. I
19:03
Speaker 1: love that, man, I really do. But to continue to
19:05
Speaker 1: tell everybody about the show, Johnny, you know, and as
19:08
Speaker 1: you thinking about it, I would have to say kudos
19:10
Speaker 1: to v h one because I think this show is
19:13
Speaker 1: a show that they wanted to pioneer the shifting of
19:17
Speaker 1: the narrative of the network, you know what I mean.
19:19
Speaker 1: They didn't want it to be another show of people
19:22
Speaker 1: fighting and screaming at each other. But there is drama,
19:25
Speaker 1: but there is always happy and you know, I like
19:27
Speaker 1: to describe the show as a cross between Botched and
19:30
Speaker 1: to Catch a Predator. And the reason why I used
19:33
Speaker 1: those two because of course you have that's pretty sure predator.
19:37
Speaker 1: Now you might want to drop that, you must, I
19:41
Speaker 1: got your box. You might want to drop that catch
19:43
Speaker 1: your predator side. Okay, what the thing is that the
19:46
Speaker 1: way that I explained it is, you know that that
19:49
Speaker 1: when the person comes in, they didn't have no idea
19:53
Speaker 1: that the style of is there. So that's what to
19:55
Speaker 1: catch the predator apart. But the box part, of course
19:57
Speaker 1: is the fact that they did mess up. Somebody are
20:00
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go through and get it done and
20:02
Speaker 1: and fix it and get it right, you know. And
20:04
Speaker 1: that's why I really enjoyed it by the show because
20:06
Speaker 1: I did not want to be on a regular docuseries
20:09
Speaker 1: where producers are egging you on to kind of like
20:12
Speaker 1: pin you against your friend and things like that. You know,
20:14
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be a partners I don't think
20:16
Speaker 1: they're good for your brand, and I just don't think
20:18
Speaker 1: they're great television me personally. I understand that they raped
20:21
Speaker 1: well and all that kind of stuff, but it's just
20:23
Speaker 1: not the type of TV that I want to do.
20:25
Speaker 1: This right here was right on brand. It was right
20:27
Speaker 1: on target with what I wanted to do and how
20:29
Speaker 1: I wanted my career to continues to flow. And that's
20:31
Speaker 1: why I love this show so much. You know, it's
20:33
Speaker 1: it's fun. I'm really interested in it, you know, in
20:37
Speaker 1: how season two would turn out and the twist and
20:40
Speaker 1: turns that we will make it that looks like. But
20:43
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this season is really good.
20:45
Speaker 1: We did twenty episodes, which is a lot. We shot
20:47
Speaker 1: it in two months, which is you know, crazy schedule
20:51
Speaker 1: we did. We did two episode with twenty episodes, and
20:55
Speaker 1: each one is totally different. They have a different energy
20:58
Speaker 1: to them, and anybody, you know, hopefully at the end
21:01
Speaker 1: it comes out with a happy ending. It really was,
21:05
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, I'm just letting everybody. I'm
21:07
Speaker 1: talking to Johnny, right, he just take twenty on twenty
21:09
Speaker 1: episode series that's not airing on VICH one Top Tamar
21:14
Speaker 1: Braxton and right come to the rescue of clients whose
21:16
Speaker 1: hair has been botched by beautician from their past, and
21:19
Speaker 1: the strategic steam occupation. Because Tamar's in the back, she
21:22
Speaker 1: has a little, she has little she's communicating with Johnny,
21:26
Speaker 1: talking back and forth, listening to everything, and you hear,
21:28
Speaker 1: you hear. You can just see the reaction to the
21:31
Speaker 1: client with the batch had to do response. Oh he's lying,
21:34
Speaker 1: he didn't do that, or she didn't do that. Oh
21:36
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe that. So you could have
21:38
Speaker 1: that little fun stuff that's going on the back there.
21:40
Speaker 1: But Braxton's right, will help dis grown up customers confront
21:43
Speaker 1: the stylist who damaged their hair. Right, we then put
21:47
Speaker 1: the petition through a rigorous and he really does not
21:49
Speaker 1: because now that's what that's what it seems to me.
21:52
Speaker 1: That's when it gets fun to me, because that's what
21:54
Speaker 1: I think that the ratings really hold in because you
21:58
Speaker 1: get to see actual having transformations and then you get
22:04
Speaker 1: to see the engagement of the beautician and decline because
22:07
Speaker 1: that's a relationship there and I know that because people
22:11
Speaker 1: are putting there there for confidence. Sometimes in strangers. Something
22:16
Speaker 1: In one situation where the sister came in said her
22:19
Speaker 1: sister messed up. Perhaps I wouldn't. And so many people
22:22
Speaker 1: need to stop asking for hair, dude that they can't
22:24
Speaker 1: get Like the home girl who wanted to like she
22:27
Speaker 1: really needed to stop it. She was never gonna get
22:29
Speaker 1: in here like Beyonce, but her sister says she could
22:32
Speaker 1: pull it off. You know, sister messed up her hair
22:34
Speaker 1: and then you guys have to bring that together. That's
22:36
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Buying George the show because of
22:39
Speaker 1: the fact that it becomes a like you said, it's
22:43
Speaker 1: a botched it's a The Predator, the Predator scene where
22:47
Speaker 1: you people are unsuspectfully bursting through doors and say ah ha.
22:51
Speaker 1: But it becomes a feel good show, Johnny, it's a
22:54
Speaker 1: field good show. That's I commend you on holding holding
22:59
Speaker 1: your ground on that because it is your face. Man,
23:01
Speaker 1: it is your brand, and you don't want that negative
23:04
Speaker 1: to dude. You're the first lady. You're the first lady. Yes, yes,
23:08
Speaker 1: that was important for me. I did not want to
23:11
Speaker 1: leave the you know, the leader while out of my
23:13
Speaker 1: first big gig was me cutting and screaming. And first
23:16
Speaker 1: of all, I always tell people they can't d it
23:19
Speaker 1: was you don't give them. I would have never given
23:20
Speaker 1: them that anyway. But at the same time, you know,
23:24
Speaker 1: just to be in a situation they wanted and people
23:26
Speaker 1: trying to cohert you to do stuff like that. I
23:28
Speaker 1: just did not want to do anything like that. So
23:30
Speaker 1: I was very happy that the universe took this in
23:32
Speaker 1: my lap and I was able to do this show
23:35
Speaker 1: very happy. So far. The worst, the worst one I've
23:38
Speaker 1: seen so far was the what the what? The girl
23:41
Speaker 1: who had to burn on her head looked like a
23:43
Speaker 1: giant bubble or hump. Yeah what? She got stuck by
23:47
Speaker 1: the needle? Right? That one? Well, you know what, Remember
23:50
Speaker 1: she got burned. Remember she put there? Put they put there.
23:52
Speaker 1: I believe that they died on their hair. I remember
23:55
Speaker 1: they started tingling. You said it was it Tingland? Was
23:57
Speaker 1: it Tingland? And they showed yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
24:01
Speaker 1: That one that looked pretty bad. Dude, that little at
24:05
Speaker 1: say tuned. There's so many more that's gonna really you're

25:15
Speaker 1: of the you know, I know people do feel a
25:19
Speaker 1: little chesty sometimes and they feel like they can come
25:21
Speaker 1: to your page and say something negative because that's how
25:24
Speaker 1: they feel. But I have not had one negative comment
25:28
Speaker 1: on it show. In fact, I had people who when
25:30
Speaker 1: we were promoting this show, They're saying, like, I don't
25:33
Speaker 1: want to watch this show. They literally came back and said, sorry,
25:37
Speaker 1: I thought I didn't want to watch the show, but
25:38
Speaker 1: I cannot stop watching and I'm addicted to it. So
25:41
Speaker 1: people are really really enjoying it show. But that's what
25:44
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about me. That's what I'm saying
25:46
Speaker 1: about me. I just wanted telling anybody who's listening, don't
25:49
Speaker 1: get caught up in the stereotype of you think what
25:51
Speaker 1: the show is. If you just watch the promo, the
25:54
Speaker 1: opening promo the show, it explains in great detail about
25:59
Speaker 1: how this show plays out and how both parties you
26:02
Speaker 1: get to be, you know, satisfied. That's what I like
26:05
Speaker 1: about the show. You know, the person that's in on
26:07
Speaker 1: the stand of the victim, they get to meet, they
26:10
Speaker 1: get to confront each other in a positive manner because hey,
26:14
Speaker 1: this person is not happy. They gave you money but
26:16
Speaker 1: they weren't happy. Are you willing to fix the problem.
26:19
Speaker 1: And then they go through the boot camp and you
26:21
Speaker 1: get the big walla even even some of the stylet's
26:24
Speaker 1: go wow wow. If I'm always talking like that, I'm like, wow,
26:31
Speaker 1: they did a great job. And I's like, and then
26:34
Speaker 1: you know this edited where it looks like I'm just
26:36
Speaker 1: with them for a minute. I'm actually looking for a
26:38
Speaker 1: very long time before they actually styled and finished the hair.
26:41
Speaker 1: But it still stocked me when I see it that
26:44
Speaker 1: there looks amazing. Well, John, that wouldn't thank you for
