I made some snowbird content right. So I make fun of I'm a Floridian. Y'all know I'm born and raised here. I've been here my whole life. This is what I do and I make fun of Floridians all the time because and then y'all you know Manny's been around me long enough and Rudy, they know I make fun of myself a lot Because if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at other people.
Speaker 1:So you'll see those same snowbirds in the comments. Now, it's not all snowbirds, cause I got some cool ones that are like I'm a snowbird and I think you're hilarious, it's funny. You don't understand, but you have those some people like the New Yorkers. You make a joke, they get offended. Now they're laughing at us when I'm making jokes about us. But as soon as I say, hey, joke on y'all. Now they're in my comments, upset, saying I wasn't as funny as they thought, which I'm cool with. But like why are you angry? Because you're the one that's going 20 miles below the speed limit? Why? People trying to get to school and to work, why? Why am I the fault of that? Why am I the fault? Because you don't know that you're supposed to get on 75 on the left side, you in the right lane and the turn lane and you decide to put your blink on going the wrong way and then go across three lanes of traffic going 10 miles per hour. That ain't my fault. Oh my God, it's Wicks.
Speaker 3:Wicks, oh my God, oh my God, oh, I'm GS. Wicks, oh, I'm G. Oh, I'm G. Oh my God, it's Wicks, wicks, woo, woo, woo, oh, I'm GS.
Speaker 1:Wicks. What's happening? Everybody? This is the OMGs Wicks show, episode 19. Y'all we had 19, we ain't got canceling. Y'all can't get rid of this, can't stop. Whoops, we ain't gonna do no references.
Speaker 2:But anyway.
Speaker 1:I got my co-host and our guest co-host. I'm gonna let my co-host introduce himself first.
Speaker 3:What's up? Is Manny Knox Very comfortable with my sexuality, not homophobic at all.
Speaker 1:Is that what you're doing? I don't think anybody in the comments said that. Okay, never mind, we're gonna get into that later, but do you think we?
Speaker 2:love. A confident king.
Speaker 1:There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2:Hi mama, I'm with Divine Soul Collective and I I don't know what to say. You good.
Speaker 1:Listen you good, you did your thing. Listen, she's super dope. Y'all know we only bring super dope people to the OMGs Wicks podcast. Y'all know we don't play around.
Speaker 3:Hold up. You said you're with Divine Soul Collective.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's my brand my company, so I'm a content creator. Social media I do management. I also do some dog grooming. I make content related to dog grooming and because I'm a dog groomer- yes. And I'm kind of just in a little bit of everything. So it's very ADHD of me.
Speaker 1:I've been listening. I feel that I'm the same way. I know many of them tired of me because I'll come in every day and I'll be like you know what y'all? I got a new idea. I know we said we're going to do this, but let's do to scrap that. Let's do this over here. We're having to finish the first one.
Speaker 1:Yeah let's finish the first one. Many gotta be like many are rooted Wait, wait, wait. Let's finish this first and I'll be like man. All right, let's finish. So then, the whole time I'm like moving because I can't wait to get over here, but we gotta finish this. So that's how things work.
Speaker 2:I think that's what creates the, you know, the content part is like when you have multiple things, it's like it gives it like that little extra oomph. I guess I don't know you know I agree with you.
Speaker 1:And you say you're a social media manager as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do social media management, I do content creation, dog grooming, okay, and then I'm actually starting to get into a little bit of digital products as well.
Speaker 3:So that's just a little bit of everything, yeah, yeah. What makes a person a good social media manager? What? Is, I think I know what that is, but like, how do you measure success for a social media manager?
Speaker 2:I think, somebody that can really bring light to your brand, you know, somebody that can really represent your brand in a good way and the way that you want, in an authentic way too. I think with social media it's really hard to kind of fall into that pit of like you have to follow what everybody else is doing. So I feel like for me and what I like to do for my clients is that I like to bring that authenticity of who they are in their brand and kind of stick to that and not I mean, yeah, we do some things that are like we follow the trends and we do the trends and everything like that, because it's kind of like a part of it, but at the end of the day, I think that you still have to stick true to what you want to do with your brand and your business, and so that's what I try to do for my clients.
Speaker 1:I agree with that. I agree with that 100% and, like I said, I kind of did all this by accident but on purpose. I don't know. It's weird, like I kind of know what I'm doing but it's more trial and error than anything. But, like you said, I'll do trends that fit what I'm doing. I never reach for a trend, like I'll see people that'll only do trends but they don't really, like you said, they don't build a real audience. They kind of just do trends and people will say, hey, that's viral and they'll you know, but they don't actually keep coming back.
Speaker 3:But now, like I've seen you, you don't just follow the trend, you customize the trend to like what we're sending for you. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just whatever works for me. Okay so, social media manager y'all need a social media manager. Hit her up, y'all.
Speaker 3:That's what I was thinking. I was like I might have to hit her up because I don't want to, we might need a social media manager for the show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyway, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about okay.
Speaker 3:But before we go, because I'm always your fans but I can't stand them.
Speaker 1:Here we go. It's B, but no, it's not. Those the opposite today.
Speaker 3:Okay, I want to be fair. You know what happens a lot of times, us as, especially. I don't know if y'all had to get out of this, but I know when I used to be on social media in the past, I always focused on the negative as opposed to hey, how about I stop talking about these people that are negative and let me start focusing on these people that are positive? Those are the ones that really matter, because they're supporting you, right? Liliana Lopez yes, she's been in our comments, the first person to actually be on my side in a manny versus wicks argument. Wait, wait. All she said was you're funny. No, before that. Oh see, you don't see, because since she's the only fan I have on here, I've paid attention to her. Oh, it was negative. So she's been on a run.
Speaker 3:She's like I've seen this two times when she was on my side, at least. Okay, so I just want to shout out Ms Lopez, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2:And keep it coming. I love it.
Speaker 3:I want more of you to have more sense and logic.
Speaker 2:But there wasn't there one person that said that you were the one holding the whole show?
Speaker 3:No, we talked about that. That's just because that's a person that hates him. There's people that follow you because they mess with you and there's other people that follow you because they hate you. That person is probably a hater, because I haven't really seen them anywhere else. They haven't came on any.
Speaker 1:So if you are that person, we need you to show up for many and more than just one comment section.
Speaker 2:So we got to start like a Manny Club, you know like a.
Speaker 3:Manny Fan Club. I think we should.
Speaker 1:Now it's a power of one right now. So I think so Can I be in the Manny.
Speaker 3:Fan Club. No, because you're biased, but Lillian is the first member and I appreciate her so and I'm gonna make sure I treat our fans right, my fan right Fan for now.
Speaker 1:But I don't know, maybe it was a snowbird, because snowbirds got beef with me right now. Why? Okay, so I'm gonna get this off. Cause, let me get this off.
Speaker 3:And I think it's funny, when you got beef with somebody, you ignited even more.
Speaker 1:I mean, if we hear you might as well. I'm a Floridian right.
Speaker 1:So when we hear we gotta keep it going. So I made some snowbird content right. So I make fun of I'm a Floridian. Y'all know I'm born and raised here. I've been here my whole life. This is what I do and I make fun of Floridians all the time Because and then y'all you know Manny's been around me long enough and rooted. They know I make fun of myself a lot Because if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at other people.
Speaker 1:So you'll see those same snowbirds in the comments. Now it's not all snowbirds, cause I got some cool ones that are like I'm a snowbird and I think you're hilarious, it's funny, you know what I'm saying. But then you have those some people like the New Yorkers. You make a joke, they get offended. Now they're laughing at us when I'm making jokes about us. But as soon as I say hey, joke on y'all. Now they're in my comments, upset, saying I wasn't as funny as they thought, which I'm cool with. But like, why are you angry? Because you're the one that's going 20 miles below the speed limit? Why, people trying to get to school and to work, why? Why am I the fault of that? Why am I the fault? Because you don't know that you're supposed to get on 75 on the left side, you in the right lane and the turn lane and you decide to put your blink on going the wrong way and then go across three lanes of traffic going 10 miles per hour. That ain't my fault. Is that my fault?
Speaker 3:It's crazy. I just felt all those people getting angry right now as you're saying all this sentence. They could be angry.
Speaker 1:Be angry, Snowbirds be angry. The water not the coolest, because the coolest cool. But so I'm the only one that deal with the snow bird issues every day. I know y'all deal with it. I know y'all deal with it.
Speaker 3:No, we do. But I mean I guess we don't have a platform to really throw them in the trash and you do, thankfully. So shout out to you yes, you do, you're right here right now. Do your thing, manny. No, I got bigger fish to fry. I mean, you guys do affect my life in a negative way when it comes to getting to work, but that's fine. You know, there's things in life you gotta deal with. But I don't want y'all jumping into my fan club because y'all got beef with him. I don't know. I want genuine people who are on my side. So don't think like, oh yeah, no, manny, we kind of head our back, we're gonna jump. No, you can't be in my fan club. You mess up traffic.
Speaker 1:Well, it's okay, cause we released the episode after seven and they be sleeping anyway, so that's why I'm just talking y'all.
Speaker 2:That's why I said there should be a law that they shouldn't be allowed to drive from like seven am to 10 am, and then another one from three to six, so that way we won't have beef with them.
Speaker 1:It'll all be good, you ever see them in five o'clock traffic, scared, that is, scared for their life. In five o'clock Take. You know five o'clock traffic is wild. They're scared for their life. You see them up on the wheel and you see the look in their eyes like this is fear and I'm like what are y'all doing here? Like this is when the real Floridians go through war mode, like five o'clock traffic is when real Floridians come out and do the real Floridian driving. This is when we go into survival mode, like we do some crazy stuff at five o'clock traffic cause we just trying to get home. A lot of us have done the work and we're just trying to go home and relax and everybody's on the road at the same time. So we're you know what I'm saying and why are you out there? What are you doing.
Speaker 3:You know Marvel versus Capcom the game. Yeah Well, you and Alma just there, right? Yeah, so Marvel versus Capcom. There's a specific button combination. So Wix was like Ryu and Wix was just beating down these snowbirds right now, who are you? And he hit the combination where now Alma comes in and kicks their back in, like out the side of the screen. Teamwork, that's messed up. I'm sorry for you, snowbirds, but once again, don't come to my fan club.
Speaker 1:It's not our fault, though, man. It's their fault for doing what they do. So if y'all are angry in my comments, who are angry?
Speaker 3:so far New Yorkers there's always a new mermaid, lady Mermaid I had one mermaid lady that had beef with me.
Speaker 1:But in turn that worked out for the best, because then the other people in the mermaid community they like embraced me because the one mermaid had beef with, so she's like the Ursula. Yeah, yeah, ok, so that's so. And New Yorkers snowbirds, florida Gator fans they were, in my comments, heavy, they were angry, but it's not even fun to make fun of them, no more, because they lost again.
Speaker 3:Did you get attacked by any Wendy's people? I know you had some negative things to say about Wendy's. I did, you didn't say, their breakfast was good though.
Speaker 1:I did say their breakfast was good.
Speaker 3:I just said, when they get it right.
Speaker 1:Maybe that saved you, because they don't never get it right. So not all of them. I got one. I got one, wendy's. I'm not going to expose that, wendy's, because they all going to be trying to go there and then y'all going to overwork them and then they going to start messing up. So I'm going to gate. Keep that, wendy's.
Speaker 3:At some point in the future of the show we'll have to start like posting or putting pictures of all the enemies that we have made. I know, Desani, I was going to say that, but nobody's disagree with us on that one. That tells you something I will give you that. Nobody's been like stop kicking Desani's back. And nobody said that we love Desani. I've never seen somebody.
Speaker 1:You're wrong about Desani? I've never seen somebody ever say I'm going to get some water, Let me go buy a Desani. You know what I'm saying? I remember when Hurricane came and it was like all the water was off the shelf and it was just Desani. Bro, that's how you like. You like Desani. If you like Desani, you can just let us know.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, you know, if I had to choose between Desani and something else, I'd probably choose the other. Whatever, the other option OK we good.
Speaker 1:I was like wait, she got quiet on us, Did she? Is she like a Desani drinker Hiding it? So, it's like, is she?
Speaker 3:front, or is she really?
Speaker 1:You like water gun juice? I don't think you do.
Speaker 1:You just walk around and scoop putter water up with your hands, not even filter it. That's what Desani tastes like. You're not even unfiltered water. Gun water that's what it tastes like. All right. So with you being in the social media, the content creator space right, I know you run into this, I run into this a lot. So you do this as a profession, right. But you also have those people that you know that want, they want help, they want you, they want your help, they want your expertise, but then that turns into you them just basically wanting you to just do everything. So when they say, hey, I want your, how do I do this? And then why don't you just do it for me? I know you run into that a lot because we was talking about this off camera. How do you handle that?
Speaker 2:I think that if the right person comes along or the right brand comes along to work with, I'll gladly open up that, open that to them. But I think that you, I feel like as a content creator, you know, you know who has it and who doesn't. So it's like you kind of have to pick and choose your battles. If you want to work with this person, great, awesome. But I feel like you, just you just know, like some people have the drive in them to do it, some people have the motivation, some people have the determination to do it, and then other people just don't. And there's nothing wrong with that, you know, but I think it's just you, like I said, you have to kind of pick and choose your battles when you want to go, where you don't want to go, you know.
Speaker 1:I agree with that 100%.
Speaker 3:I agree. But what do you think? Well, just the one thing that stuck out. I feel like everything I do seems negative, Because the more she said what stuck out. She's like she said and it's OK if you don't have determination. No, it's not. No, it's not. There's people that are trying to be nice with y'all. Hey, it's OK if you trash, it's OK if you ain't really trying to go above it. No, it's not.
Speaker 1:But it's the angry translator.
Speaker 2:So I love that, though there's there's a need for that. There's a need for that. So that's what I feel I feel like it's just kind of one of those things is like it can, it can't be me, because obviously I'm not that way, but like you know what I'm saying, there always has to be the other half of it. So it's like you know, you're going to stand out because you stand out away from the other half, so there's always got to be that side too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's just kind of how I look at it, though you know, I agree, I do run into a lot of people and they'll be like hey, because they'll see the following that I've built. And they, just like you were saying earlier, they believe that you kind of get there by accident or you know what I'm saying. Like they, they don't understand the true work that goes behind maintaining over a long, long time period. They continue to grow over years. It takes a lot of work. It takes research, it takes studying, it takes, it takes a lot of work. You know, because you got to figure out a lot of different things. It will take a lot of your time. I'm not even going to lie to you Like I don't. So a lot of people they ask me like, oh, you got time. Now I saw, like after being a dad and then creating and then what we're trying to do. I don't have a lot of time for other stuff.
Speaker 1:But I'll run into people and they'll be like hey, I see you're doing this and they want to. They'll ask you how to do it. And the thing I run into the most is they don't. They'll go from asking you how to do it to ask you to do it for them. So it's more so like I'm asking you how to do it, but really, what I really want is for you to do it for me, or they try to use you. They try to use you. They like, hey, let me get on your platform and let me promote my brand on your platform. It's like okay, well, this business, so what do I get from this? You know what I'm saying. So I know you run into that. I know Manny's ran into that a lot over even the studio days, the studio days, the studio days.
Speaker 3:Hey, one thing 2023, one of the things that makes me so mad the most like, because there's different things that maybe want to punch people in the face. But one thing is, when somebody thinks it's easy, like oh yeah, I should just. Oh, I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to just jump on TikTok. You know what I need to get on YouTube and get some of this money? Oh, I should do a podcast. You're not interesting, bro. Let's just get to it. You're not interesting. It's not that easy. If it was that easy, come on, bro.
Speaker 2:Everybody would be going wild. Come on bro.
Speaker 3:That's one of the things that annoys me the most.
Speaker 1:And even if they are interested, a lot of them don't have the work ethic that goes behind wanting to do this. Because it takes, I'm telling you, it takes a lot of work, especially if you're trying to spread yourself out on all platforms For the people that think you know. Like, if you really want to get up and make a YouTube album, like, okay, do your thing. But if you have it in your mind to be like I'm going to make a YouTube and I'm going to make this amount of money because this person make money, like you're looking at Mr Beast bringing all this money, you're like I'm going to make Mr Beast money, get that out of your mind. You know, get like you got to, not not seem like get it out of your mind and kill your dream. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1:But you have to have realistic expectations and you kind of build on that. You're not going to wake up and jump on YouTube and just blow up. It's going to take a long time. It's going to take hard work. It's going to take consistency, which is the biggest issue. I see what most people it's consistency. They want to post one time or they want to post for like a week and if it don't work, they'll be like, well, this thing on work for me, and then they go do something else.
Speaker 2:So they just want the instant gratification, which you know there's some people that have blown up overnight and you know, and but that's rare, like it's honestly very rare.
Speaker 2:You know there's. There really is so much that goes into it. You know, like we talked about that, there's so many components that go into social media and if you don't understand social media like that, it's just not going to work for you. And again, you do have to put in the work. There's hours, countless hours, that you have to put into editing research. So much that goes into it. And that's another thing, too, that I struggled with as a social media manager that, like, people don't want to pay me to do the work, but it's like you know, I can get you to where you want to go, but I I'm not going to do it for free. Baby, Like you know, I'm just not going to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I still have to pay my bills. You know, I got to, I got to do my thing, you know, and this is how I make my money. And so it's like I'm not, I'm not overcharging you, I'm not, I'm not taking your money but, at the same time, like I have to do what I have to do to keep my roof over my head.
Speaker 1:Exactly. It's like you wouldn't walk into a store and be like hey, let me get that for free right now, Right, and then if I like it, then I'm going to come back and pay for it. But you already know how to use it, so you know you're not coming back to pay for it. It's the same thing. Y'all stop trying to use people. We work for our money, the same way y'all do. This is just our job. Our job is social media and we put in a lot of work. It's a lot of work that goes into this. Y'all think y'all going to use this. You're not. You're not.
Speaker 3:I'm going to make it simple for the dumb people. Let's role play world. Be with me, role play. Imagine if I came to you and I looked you in the eyes. I looked you in the eyes and I said, hey, your time means nothing, your time is useless. So let me get some of that. So think about how you feel, or somebody's. It's the same thing for you. So for you guys, somebody do something for free. That's what you, that's what you saying yes, so also I want to go back to something real quick.
Speaker 1:You said as far as where I was at, where I was at, y'all know how my mind works. You were saying people blow up overnight. Right, what I've noticed? Right, it's a lot of the people that blow up overnight hasn't been doing it. They've been doing it for a long time. So, yeah, it might seem like overnight. A lot of people tell me like, oh, you blew up overnight. And I'm like, nah, like they don't know us doing the podcast, they don't know us doing, you know, in the studio. They don't know my mute, they don't know all those things that I went through just to get to this point. But, yeah, it might seem fast, but there was a lot of work to prepare me for this. A lot of the people that do blow up overnight, they don't it don't sustain, like they can't keep it because they they weren't ready for it.
Speaker 2:They didn't have to maintain an audience.
Speaker 1:They didn't put in the work, so they just blew up and so like and I've seen a lot of people on Tik Tok do that Like you'll see them. They're, you know, every day they're on your for you page and then, like, after a month you won't see them anymore. You go to their page and then they're getting like you know what I'm saying, they're like down because they weren't prepared to do that. It just kind of happened. So I will say if you are looking to build a you know an audience, get a social media manager. Or you got to do the work, that's it. You got to pay somebody, or you do the work, that's it. That's all I can say. Y'all, y'all got anything else on this one?
Speaker 3:I feel like I'm just getting more angry. I'm going to be positive, positivity.
Speaker 1:That's what you're doing, which brings me to my next. What do you find like the motivation to keep doing with y'all Like what do y'all like what motivates you to be like? You know what? I'm going to get up and go do this tomorrow.
Speaker 3:Uh, this is kind of toxic. I like it. Well, maybe it's not.
Speaker 3:I don't like it, that's just how I look at it. My motivation is like me my brain is messed up. I'm never satisfied. Oh yeah, I could be killing the game. I'm never like I kill it at work, my job. I'm amazing. I'm the best person in the building at my position and still every day I leave like, yeah, but you ain't doing enough. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. There's still that little thing you could have done. That's my motivation. And then this ain't consistent. But other motivation for me is being petty. I like it, so I don't try to use that as much, because that's really the major toxic part. I like it, but sometimes just my pettiness will take me above and beyond I like it. What about you?
Speaker 2:I would say, for me, part of it is my daughter. I love my daughter very much and I feel like I want her to know that she can do anything that she wants to do, regardless of what is going on in her life or anything like that. I want her to know that she can do anything that she wants at any point in time. As long as she puts in the hard work, dedication, to do it, she can do anything that she wants. She can be an astronaut, she can be a content creator, she can be whatever she wants to do. And I feel like I'm kind of showing her that because I'm starting late in the game.
Speaker 2:I feel like I should have done this 10 years ago and I feel like I'm kind of coming into it later in the game and I feel like that's why I always get a lot of is that really what you're doing? So for me, it's kind of like I want her to see that. I want her to see that you can build whatever it is that you want to build. You can build the empire you want to build whenever you want. So part of it is that it's also for me. For me as a person, I feel like I've gone through a lot of growth in the last three or four years and for me it's I've always wanted to do this and I just never really put myself out there. And I feel like when I started putting myself out there, I got such good response from it that I was like okay, maybe I am meant for this, Maybe I am meant to do this. So for me it's really just those two things.
Speaker 1:I like that, I like that, and I kind of go out there like my kids. So I show my kids like every day, like, okay, you can do this if you want. Like you can do what you want. Like, when I was growing up, I was told that you had to be an athlete or just go get a job, and that was it. And I didn't grow too much after high school. I kind of was the same size. So I was like okay, athlete is out the window. So it was like okay, you know, you kind of go through a couple of different things, but it was like you're taught. So I don't want my kids to believe like it's either this or that. There's a whole. You know a lot of different avenues. And also for me, I'm like with Big Manny, I'm always believing that I could be better. So a lot of people are looking and they'll be like, oh, but you're killing it. And I'm like am I? Though?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like am I really killing it? And I started like questioning I always want to be better. Always in my mind, I'm always believing that I could be better. So, whatever y'all see in my mind, I'm like but I could be better. Like I won an award, like I went an award and I was like that's cool and all. But like I was on TV, on the, on the weather channel, I'm like that's cool and all, but I feel like I can do this. You know what I'm saying. So it's always the next level up, so I'm always studying for the next thing for me.
Speaker 1:So, but and also bringing positivity to people. The world is crazy. We see like a bunch of crazy stuff every day. So it's like okay if I can impact people, cause there was at a time to where I was just doing it, like you said, just cause I was having fun. And then I wanted to quit cause I'm like man, I don't want to do this, no more, like I'm done. And then I had people get in my DM and they're like I'm dealing with PTSD, I'm dealing with depression, I'm dealing with all of these things, and watching your videos give me that positivity. I need to keep going and I'm like. You know what. This is bigger than me now, so I continue to do it for those reasons. But the whole fame stuff is not a motivation for me at all. I don't see myself as famous I won't until I'm able to retire and get some land and some acreage off the grid.
Speaker 3:So, speaking of him being famous, don't be, don't be. If you see me out with him, this lady, if I ever see you again, I'm not his security. Y'all gonna put some respect on my name, cause there was no shirt on me that said security. There was. I didn't have a gun, I didn't have sunglasses on, I didn't have an earpiece. You saw me, cause I'm big, I'm his security. Hey, you could. You know what? You probably want his pants on my chill. Stop playing with me. Yeah, so he famous, cause y'all think that, anyways, that's all I just cause. You triggered me, you triggered me, but anyway, positivity, positivity.
Speaker 1:I remember that we was in publics and I think it was like she was standing behind the watch. She's like it's you. I was ready to strangle her with it.
Speaker 3:You know those publics you know, those publics. Umbrella Max, I was ready to strangle her with it.
Speaker 1:She was like I'd never met a celebrity before and I'm like I'm not a celebrity. She like what you have security and everything.
Speaker 3:You're already the head of it my whole public shopping cart.
Speaker 2:Florida man hits hits lady with shopping cart. This lady's going to get me on one of these.
Speaker 3:Netflix documentaries about a killer bro.
Speaker 2:You got me on snap.
Speaker 3:So yeah, shout out to Wix's fans.
Speaker 1:Mandy was called my security guard and then he started rolling with it. So, yeah, all right. So I don't know if y'all have these issues, but dating as an influencer, content creator, like how is that for y'all? Well, I'm not an influencer.
Speaker 3:I'm content creator, so I'm going to talk a little bit about it.
Speaker 1:Because Facebook back in the day, that was considered when you was making those posts and we were doing our thing. That is considered that as well, because how difficult did that make your dating life.
Speaker 3:It didn't, but it was different though, and maybe I don't know, at that point in my life I already knew I'm not gonna be in any serious relationship. I was focused on my work. I'm very honest and upfront. So whenever I was involved with somebody, I made it very clear like, hey, I'm chilling, I'm gonna have fun with you, I'll be like exclusive to you as far as the time I spent with you. Right, I'm not messing with no other female while I'm with you, but this ain't going the distance, because that's not what I'm trying to do right now. So it's actually pretty thankfully Now if I was in a situation where I'm now, where I do want something serious, and it would be very difficult, because now I don't know like well, why are you here, like you just see me doing X, y, z, you know.
Speaker 3:So yeah, that's why it's kind of that's my perspective. So now I might have those questions if I start becoming popular. Liliana's my only fan, so I don't have that too much to worry about.
Speaker 1:I'm one in the tank, you know, I'm just playing. So, like you said, when people come meet you, they, like you're suspicious, I guess, of why they are around you, whether it's friends or trying to date you. You get like a little.
Speaker 3:If I was in your situation I might feel that way, but not like now, because I don't feel like I'm popular or anything. So for me, if I was out somewhere, I would be like, okay, maybe you're interested. Well, well, now I'm worried now, Since we're all like talking to you, because there's a new implant.
Speaker 3:thoughts in my head that I don't have, Because now we could be out, because you know we're going to be at events again. And now, like, all right, somebody's probably talking to me because I'm close to him and maybe they think they ain't got a shot with him. So, hey, let me go get with the ugly friend to just get into vicinity and tell him maybe you know what I'm saying Get a Instagram poppin'. And then, once again back to the Netflix murder document.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna say so we'll see how that goes. I'm gonna piggyback up on what he said, because I'm kind of in this phase of no new friends. I'm sorry, I just can't. I can't do it. Like in the way, also with what we're doing, like I feel like you have to have a certain mindset, a certain mentality of how you do things, and so it's like when other people don't match that energy, I just I can't, I just can't do it. So it's hard for me to even have friendships with people. Like I have the friends that I've got and I'm solid with those people, so I'm good. And even with the dating, like you know, no, I just no new friends, sorry.
Speaker 1:I feel you, I feel you Like with me, like I'm always suspicious of like people and their attentions and you could, like you said, you could kind of tell when someone comes around you what their intentions are. Like you, like I'm not gonna lie, like I've met some very cool people. Like I've met cool people doing what I do that have no intention to try to use me for anything. They just like, hey, we just think you're a cool person, but you have those people and they'll like get their way in, like okay, for instance, when I was on Facebook dating right, I told this story before, but I was on Facebook dating and I had this woman. She hit me up and I was like, oh, she's kind of, she's kind of cool. And so I asked her. I was like, hey, do you know who I am? And she was like no, I don't know who you are and it's Facebook dating. So you know, I go by my real name and my Facebook is kind of, at that point was kind of you know, and she was like no, I don't know who you are. And I'm like all right, cool. So we started to have a conversation and then she came up and she was like well, I got to be real with you. I knew who you were, I love your videos. And then she started quoting the videos and I'm like, oh yeah, this is it. So you.
Speaker 1:And then I found out she had an Instagram and she was trying to do influencer on Instagram. So I was like I see what your whole angle was. You were good, you were good, but I see where her angle was. Her angle was like to get in and then have me help her build her Instagram. So you got to be suspicious of people. So if I do that, I'm not doing it on purpose, I promise to you I'm a good person. I just I'm very suspicious of people. So that's me. Why, what man, you say what you about to say? You know, I was just a whole petty thing, bro.
Speaker 3:Somebody do that to me. I'm gonna make you fall in love with me and destroy your whole life. Oh my God, that bad.
Speaker 1:Huh, you're petty, but y'all thought I said you weren't toxic.
Speaker 3:I'm a new person, I'm just. I mean, I'm in my season of change.
Speaker 1:Me too, man, I'm trying to be more positive. I'm trying to be better and that's what I tell people. Seasonal, it could be seasonal. I didn't catch that. I'm glad you're all that.
Speaker 3:I know I said that my season of change, but I don't say that it could be seasonal.
Speaker 1:You just thought I got to see the next season and see what happens. See what happens. Play it right here.
Speaker 2:All right, we got to tune into the next season of Manny.
Speaker 1:You're right, that's the answer before we get out of here, right, what? Ok? So I asked a question on Facebook and I got some crazy responses. So what animals are you happy? Don't live wild in Florida?
Speaker 3:All right. So this is the type of thing. I got to go back to therapy Because I saw this question and most people read it one way and then my brain just started going and I'm like I hate wicks. Because I was trying to think of what my answer would be this question, but then I was like this is what worries me, what happens with conversations with wicks and animals.
Speaker 3:All the time my head was like all right, I'm going to come up with an animal and wicks is just going to be like oh, you didn't know that we do have those. So it's like then I'm getting angry Because I'm like all this questions in the do is piss me off, because I'm going to find something out that I should be scared of, that I didn't know I was supposed to be scared of the whole time. So I did come up with one, but it's not. Even I was like what's the most impossible. There's no way this animal could be here. There's no way wicks could be like oh, we have that. So I'm going to go with a polar bear. You're right, there's no way we're going to have a polar bear, you're right, I wouldn't want to have to deal with polar bears.
Speaker 1:They said if there's polar bear, see you, it's a wrap.
Speaker 3:They don't play Especially me boy looking like a whole snack, like open me.
Speaker 1:I'm like Brian, I got time for that there was a guy he was, I guess. He had like a little tent out there. He had like a little supposed to be indestructible. He was out there in the polar bear territory and the polar bear just smelled him and was trying to, like it, spent hours trying to break through that thing to get him. Did it get through? No, almost, it started breaking.
Speaker 3:But it's a good commercial for that Right.
Speaker 1:What about you?
Speaker 2:I would say a mongoose, and the only reason I'm saying this is because I was just recently in Jamaica and I watched a mongoose like tear apart a dead, like a dead animal's body, in a matter of like minutes, and it was actually very scary. And the mongooses, like they look really cute, like I don't know if you've ever seen one before. Like they're really cute looking. So they're really cute looking, and I'm like, oh, that's so cute. Like. I was like thinking I'm like, oh, I just want to go pet it. And then my friend was like no, you don't ever try to do that, because it's like a furry critter.
Speaker 2:It's like it's a yeah, it's like a small, like little furry critter and like it'll like eat like anything. What you about to say? What?
Speaker 1:you about to say.
Speaker 3:It reminds me of like females. It looks so sweet, and it's in what I'll tell you all thing about.
Speaker 1:I'm not going. I'm not going, I'm not going to get into this with many, but I think hopefully I don't- lose, lilliana, with that comment you hold it on.
Speaker 3:Most women are amazing. There's just exceptions to the rule. There's an exception to every rule. So I'm not saying that's all women, of course not, come on, I would not just lump you all into one, so I'm trying to I think you're, you're, you're, you're talking about Latinas when you say that, because I don't know. I do got kind of beef with Latinas, though.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't blame you.
Speaker 3:OK so we a little passionate, you know but it's because of hating, because they don't really give me much attention. That's what I see I see kind of slow he hating.
Speaker 1:That's what it is. Yeah, OK, I'm going to look this up. But I want to say do we have mongoose? I'm pretty sure. See, this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3:This is what you see when he's trying to do. No, I'm not Now. He's going to be like whoa, we have one I know we have.
Speaker 1:We have. What is it called a little the?
Speaker 2:I've never seen a mongoose before, so that was my first experience when I went to Jamaica.
Speaker 1:I know we have the bikes, we have minks, we have weasels.
Speaker 3:Well, that's a mongoose.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whole cats.
Speaker 2:It was a. That's why I was saying I was like, oh, it's so cute. I look, I want to pet it like.
Speaker 1:I don't, you don't want to pet them? Those things are crazy.
Speaker 2:They are crazy.
Speaker 1:We have, so we have others.
Speaker 2:Look, I would want to. I would want to pet it like I just would when I would want to cuddle it and look yeah, they'll take on snakes, like they take on all kinds of animals. They are not something to be played with Like, truly, I watch this mongoose eat this animal in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 1:You know, all right. So y'all want to know what animal I'm rolling with and people going to be in my comments and they're going to talk trash, but I've looked up the statistics. I have looked up the stats on this. Do you want to know? Besides humans, do you want to know the most dangerous mammal I know? Oh, mammal.
Speaker 3:Never mind Elephants. I thought you were going to bring up a bird. I believe that elephants?
Speaker 1:are the most dangerous. They take the most lives of any other mammal outside of you because of how big they are Right.
Speaker 1:No, but they're petty and they're, oh yeah, they're very like. If you're that big and you're that petty, like, you can take out some stuff Like I made it. I made a, so I said this in my comment like one day on you know Facebook and I'm like elephants. They're like elephants are majestic, I say, but they're also petty and it was like but you're just talking about one instance and I posted the stats that elephants killed more people a year than Then hippos, then lions and all of these other things that they were naming. And then when I, you know, when I say elephants, they were like oh, but elephants are majestic, Elephants take out more people a year than all the rest of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah but this elephant the woman returns to her funeral To stomp on her this is not a real story.
Speaker 3:That's a real story. There's no way.
Speaker 2:There's no way, it's a real story.
Speaker 3:Okay. So they were poachers, oh this is in India, oh, never mind. Yeah, there were posters Something like this. What happened?
Speaker 1:There were poachers and she was throwing rocks, I guess, at the elephant. The elephant came back, I guess, killed her, came back to her funeral and stumped on her corpse. She deserved it. It traveled miles to stomp on her corpse, man, you know how petty you have to be.
Speaker 3:This is I don't know, I can't. That's a different level of petty.
Speaker 2:Well, elephants are actually really intelligent animals, that's how they remember, and that's how they're able to remember people and experiences. So I'm rolling with elephants.
Speaker 1:This has to be a first, because you know if Floridian is going to do something stupid to an elephant and not be on the attack of everybody and I don't need that. No, you understand, wait man, there's no mistake, this story this is fake.
Speaker 3:This is real, it's real.
Speaker 2:It's a real story. It's a real story.
Speaker 3:It's one of the more Elephants.
Speaker 1:That's what. My top is elephant and right close is Tyson Deere. I do not want to deal with a kangaroo coming outside. I do not want to deal and I'm not talking about a little kangaroo. You remember what he did to the one guy I don't want to deal with?
Speaker 3:no, I did see a picture the other day with a kangaroo with crazy muscles.
Speaker 1:And it'll run to the water. Like I say, if your animal is chasing, it'll run to the water and wait on it, and if it come in the water and try to drown them, what kind of crazy animal do you have to be to know that you can drown something?
Speaker 2:I don't want no problem with a kangaroo. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So if you have this level of intelligence, I don't want no problems with you. I don't want problems with a Tyson Deere, a hippo, because they just want smoke with everything. They don't even eat meat.
Speaker 3:I was like what's with so many animals? What's a Tyson Deere? I didn't realize what you were talking about.
Speaker 1:A kangaroo, a boxing deer. A boxing deer. It doesn't look like a deer that box. I call it a Tyson Deere. Nobody's going to change my mind on that. So yeah, but I think I want to say I'm going to look it up, though. I know we have meeks, I know we have otters, I know we have all of that, but I thought I see we have mongoose. But I'm going to look it up. Maybe we don't, but we have a lot of the cubs.
Speaker 2:Maybe they're in North Florida.
Speaker 1:No, if this here is the South Florida, we got everything down. Here we got pythons.
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 1:I've never seen a mongoose.
Speaker 2:So that's why I said that.
Speaker 1:Or if I see when I got you, I mean, we got monkeys in Florida at this point.
Speaker 3:Anything can be here. Somebody had to bring a mongoose over here.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure Please don't. They said the mongoose can probably deal with the python issue.
Speaker 3:That that might be true Because, like I said, I watched this mongoose just tear apart this animal, we'll probably be creating a whole new problem if we just brought a bunch of mongoose.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because then they're going to eat all the small animals like the squirrels and everything, and then you know, you know we can't deal with our squirrels.
Speaker 1:Man. What's your beef with squirrel?
Speaker 3:I'm just thinking if you're saying no, no, no, don't do it at me like that. I don't have a problem with squirrels, but I'm just thinking like All right, that's not too bad, Like that's not. I feel like we're not missing out on too much there.
Speaker 1:Because they're both furry, you think they can take the place of the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but then what if they start eating dogs, like people's dogs, like what if they start eating people's dogs? I mean, that's different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we got the raccoons that's already taken out there, gwana.
Speaker 3:The raccoons are taken out of Gwana. The raccoons are annoying, so I want to support it, but no.
Speaker 1:They're taking out the Gwana.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but raccoons are so annoying. What do they do? They mess up the trash.
Speaker 1:They got a little hand, they got to pick up the trash after they mess it all up.
Speaker 3:Well, they got little hands, man there's no excuse, act right, act like you've been here before Raccoons.
Speaker 1:Oh man, but yeah, I feel like. I feel like, but I don't know what is up. What would a monkey I mean? I know that they're powerful, but like, what are they doing with? You know what I'm saying? That 10 foot, 15 foot, 17 foot python. So you're saying they can't beat the python.
Speaker 3:I think they can. So what do you mean? What do you mean by? What are they doing?
Speaker 1:I got to see the fight though. Oh, I got to see the fight.
Speaker 3:No, that's fair. I got to see it happen, but a little creature is usually smart, so they're going to go for the throat or something like that. Oh no, they are Ninja like.
Speaker 1:And someone took. I had an animal person told me I don't know how true this is, but it makes sense in my mind that the only mammal that's able to live side by side, I guess, with the pythons without being affected, or the otters, and I believe that. I believe that I want to be in scrolls.
Speaker 3:You have an order of session. That's crazy. You don't know about many.
Speaker 1:I've talked to you about you know, otters eat snapping turtle. They've been known to tag alligators, but these are just a little otters here, we're not even talking about the ones in South America.
Speaker 3:It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but whatever, I'm not going to argue with you. You're the animal guy, so whatever. You're the only person I have worried about otters.
Speaker 1:You should be. You ain't see the dude that his dog got attacked by the order and he tried to go save the dog and the other order beat him up to.
Speaker 3:I mean, but a bunch of we hear that story about a bunch of different kind of animals Like no, you don't. First person I've come across and it's like, oh, this order problem.
Speaker 1:Others are about that action. Man, I only talk about animals that are about that action.
Speaker 3:I'll punch her out in the face.
Speaker 1:I want to see it. We're going to be out there on silver springs and we probably want to see an order or alligator, some monkeys and all of that stuff and I want to see you battle. The only thing I'm worried about is the order, not all of that I'll handle the order as long as there's not something else jumping on my back Like a herpes monkey. I'll take care of herpes monkeys. You take care of the order.
Speaker 3:Wait, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Well, if this happens, like the caterpillar thing, I'm not going to have back up.
Speaker 1:Whoa it's different because the caterpillar you actually have to touch it for it to do something to you Okay.
Speaker 3:Well, you said the same thing about a caterpillar.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. The caterpillar you actually have to touch it. All right, the monkeys don't even have to. They're going to touch you Either way. We put it out of here. You guys want to leave with the people?
Speaker 3:Me, yeah. Shout out to Liliana Lopez, the only fan I have. Thank you, liliana, I appreciate you. I'm going to get a Liliana tattoo.
Speaker 1:You still don't know? All right, go ahead, we'll tell them.
