Speaker 1 Today's guest out of the northeast is

Speaker 1 the Rizzler.

Speaker 1 All right, fellas.

Speaker 1 If you need us, don't need us. You feel me?

Speaker 1 Dude, I freaking hate it. I'll tell you this straight up, dude.
Like, what I hate is when, like, if I'm doing something at home and my mom needs me.

Speaker 2 I was in a match for Fortnite.

Speaker 2 I was the

Speaker 2 top three. I was the third person left.
And then guess what? My mom calls me down,

Speaker 2 right? She'll go clean the dishes, right?

Speaker 2 And guess what? Out of nowhere she distracted me. I got a headshot by a sniper.

Speaker 1 And did she take any responsibility for it? No. What?

Speaker 2 And then I went downstairs and she was cleaning the dishes already.

Speaker 1 So she didn't even need your help?

Speaker 2 No. Ugh.

Speaker 1 Why do they choose to operate like that?

Speaker 2 And she was like, oh, I always have to do everything in this house. Ugh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just took a freaking slug to the head.

Speaker 1 You know, you just got domed out over there. Like, God.

Speaker 2 Ugh.

Speaker 1 But that's the worst, dude. My mom will be like, come help me.

Speaker 1 And you're just like so furious.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you can't pause it. You can't just pause your.
Can you pause your guy if you're like you can't

Speaker 1 what do you tell the other guys?

Speaker 2 Well, well

Speaker 2 actually if you have a mic you're like

Speaker 2 like if you're only allowed to like talk to people if you have a mic. Okay, like basically like this.
Got it. I have like like the exact same mic at my house.
Okay. Yeah, in my room.

Speaker 1 So when you're playing Fortnite, you can just use your mic, you tell the guys. But what do you tell them if your mom's calling? Like do you like.

Speaker 2 Well, usually in the match you're not allowed. Only the people that are on your team.
Because, like, there's a friends list of people you can invite to your party.

Speaker 2 And whoever's on your team to help you kill the other people. Like, there's squads, solos, duos, trios.

Speaker 1 Got it.

Speaker 1 And, but what do you, like, if your mom's yelling, I mean, what do you do when you get down there? Do you express frustration? Do you tell her, hey,

Speaker 1 or do you just, you got to listen to mom?

Speaker 2 I, like, I listen, but like, I'm like, after this match. Right.

Speaker 1 After this match, after this, after that. It never ends, though, you know?

Speaker 1 Life, huh?

Speaker 1 Dude, my freaking mom. One time we had to help her paint her car or whatever because she got, she, like, I'm not going to say she,

Speaker 1 she did like a, not a crime or whatever, but anyway, we had to help her paint her car.

Speaker 1 And we didn't know how to paint. We didn't know.
We were like children.

Speaker 1 You know?

Speaker 2 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, but she's okay. She's doing fine now.
But, um, dude, I saw Superman yesterday.

Speaker 2 You saw the movie? Yeah. Oh, I want to see it so bad.
You do?

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's 3D.

Speaker 1 It is? Yeah. Have you seen a 3D movie before?

Speaker 2 I have. I've seen like at least four or five 3D movies.

Speaker 1 And would you think when you see them, what do you think? Do you think it's worth it? Do you think it's whatever? Would you think?

Speaker 2 I think it's worth it. Yeah.
I've seen Inside Out 3D. I've seen Avatar.

Speaker 2 I've seen

Speaker 2 Lion King.

Speaker 2 That was 3D.

Speaker 2 Well, I'm going to see Superman, so that's going to be 3D.

Speaker 2 And then, what's the other one?

Speaker 1 But I don't know if, I can't tell if I mind it or... Because when it's 3D, really, if you take the glasses off and you look at the screen, it's just like blurry.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but you can still see the movie. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.
You're right.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't want to tell you what happens, but

Speaker 1 it was pretty cool, I guess.

Speaker 2 There's like a I mean, it was good.

Speaker 1 I mean, you get all the flying scenes, you know,

Speaker 2 where he's just like flying. I really want to see Fantastic Four.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen a lot of these superhero movies. Really?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So Thunderbolts, that was really good.

Speaker 1 Bring up a picture of Thunderbolts. Let me get a gander at this.
I'm not even familiar with it.

Speaker 2 It's a new Marvel movie.

Speaker 1 What do you recommend when it comes down to it? Oh, this is it right here? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's basically the new Avengers because all the Avengers basically died.

Speaker 1 Oh, gosh. Yeah, this looks like Avengers, like, Narcan version kind of.

Speaker 2 And you see that girl in the middle? Yeah.

Speaker 2 That is

Speaker 2 Black Widow. That's her sister.
Oh, really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, this definitely seems like people that have been in treatment or whatever, but now they have more power.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Man, when it comes down to you for DC or Marvel, where do you go, man? Where do your loyalties lie? And it's okay.

Speaker 2 Marvel.

Speaker 2 But i'm like if i want to see like

Speaker 2 like a calm like

Speaker 2 superhero movie i would go dc but if i want to see like action-packed more like superhero movie i'll go marvel yeah because like marvel is usually more action right

Speaker 1 yeah i mean superman was super it was like just crazy it's almost at some points you're like too much action like hey can we have a couple minutes without action i can't even eat my popcorn kind of thing

Speaker 2 you know and also i heard lilo and stitch There's literally it's 3D, and you're you're like when you're when something shakes in the movie, you shake. Oh, I like that.

Speaker 2 And when you go, when someone goes in the water, you get sprayed by water.

Speaker 1 I want that.

Speaker 2 I would love that.

Speaker 1 Just to have like some, like, you know,

Speaker 1 have something happen in the movie and then you get to feel it right there. That's pretty cool.
It reminds me of like whenever I went to Disney World. Have you been there?

Speaker 2 No. What?

Speaker 1 Sorry. I thought you'd have been.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 1 It's fine. And look, and I don't, yeah, it's not everybody's been.
I shouldn't act like everybody's been.

Speaker 1 Have you discussed it at all with your folks?

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 2 well, um,

Speaker 2 I mean, when I go to Disney World, like, if I go there, I'm probably going to get sworn by people, but,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 I'm kind of used to it.

Speaker 1 Might have to wear a mask, huh? Yeah. Or, like, a beard or something like that.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know?

Speaker 1 What was there a picture the other day I saw of you in a

Speaker 1 there you are right there.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The freaking, who is that?

Speaker 2 DJ Cali.

Speaker 1 Oh, DJ Cali, baby, the Rizzler and the Palestizzler right there, dude.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Now, bro, if you wore that, you didn't get anybody's, nobody's clocking you on that.

Speaker 1 Not a chance. You'd be like, oh, look.

Speaker 1 That's a 38-year-old guy from outside of Trenton

Speaker 1 who's doing his best. Obviously, his wife left him, you know, and he's, yeah, he's got some glandular issues.

Speaker 1 That's all they would think is that he's just, you know, it's kind of like a young, yeah, a guy doing his best.

Speaker 2 His shoes are actually kind of fire in that page.

Speaker 1 I agree. 100%.
Yeah. And they match well.
Very stylish, too. He almost looks a little bit like Adam Sandler disguised.
Doesn't he in this picture?

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 1 He looks like Adam Sandler's disguised as DJ Callie.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Thank you, dude. That's the kind of, I've been saying that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 What else? Dude, you you know, I saw you at that restaurant one time at Craig's. Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. That was the first time I met you.
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 Right there.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Good memory. Dude, and you were up.
I'm not going to, I'm not trying to ratch you out or whatever, but you were up at

Speaker 1 like 10 p.m.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, now my bedtime is one o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2 What? What are you, a union worker?

Speaker 2 What are you talking? One?

Speaker 1 god and i'll be honest i mean i saw you i didn't i don't know i saw you at the restaurant and you were drinking soda past 10 p.m

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 2 that's why i went to bed at three o'clock in the afternoon okay okay

Speaker 1 yeah yeah they do have very strong soda over there

Speaker 1 I mean, they had strong soda, dude. Yeah, you didn't blink for like 11 minutes.
I was talking to you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But that's what it is, right?

Speaker 1 So the bedtime's been fluctuating a little bit, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And do you choose the bedtime or do your parents choose it? What's it like?

Speaker 2 Well, really,

Speaker 2 I choose my bedtime, but like,

Speaker 2 really, when my parents go to sleep, I go to sleep. Because, like, usually I have to go to bed,

Speaker 2 like, to watch. I have to go to, I have to watch a movie before I go to bed.
I can't, like...

Speaker 2 not go to bed without watching something at all. For sure.
Yeah. But if I'm like, like, super tired, I just like go in my bed and I close my eyes.

Speaker 1 And then?

Speaker 2 And then I just fall asleep. Yeah, like that.

Speaker 1 Now, if your parents try to say you need to go to bed now, do you stand on resinous? What do you do with them?

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 2 I go to bed, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, respectfully.

Speaker 2 But if I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't go back to put um go back to bed, I go play Fortnite.

Speaker 2 So hey,

Speaker 1 yeah, tomato, tomata.

Speaker 2 One time I played Fortnite for

Speaker 2 until

Speaker 2 when I forgot when was it but it was Saturday till one o'clock in the morning. So basically all day.

Speaker 1 Oh my god. And do you take any breaks or whatever, even urinate?

Speaker 2 Um, yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't want you sitting there in a diaper or something playing. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, you got some of these crazy people.

Speaker 1 Show me some of those kids in Asia and they're playing. They won't even, they're wearing diapers so they don't have to get up and leave the

Speaker 2 console.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. It's a lot.
I can't play a match by myself in a fortnight. You can't? Yeah, I can't.
Yeah. It's too hard.

Speaker 1 It's too hard. But at least you know your limitations, right?

Speaker 1 That's very important, dude.

Speaker 1 Let's get into a little bit of your history and your lore and your origin story, if you don't mind.

Speaker 1 Where'd the Rizzler begin? How did it start?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 so I came home one day, right? And I told my dad, Dad, I want to make a video. So then I made a video and then I said, this is how to do the face of a Rizzler.
And I did this.

Speaker 2 And yeah, and then that's just.

Speaker 1 And now, what did dad do after you said that? Because one thing I do notice that's very,

Speaker 1 I think is really special about you and your father as a viewer. and as a fan is you guys seem to have a really good relationship.
You know, You could tell he's very supportive.

Speaker 1 He loves his son, right? He thinks his son is awesome.

Speaker 1 And I think that that's really cool to see in the world, you know? But now when you ask him to record that video, is he right there? Is he telling you to do different edits?

Speaker 1 Or he kind of, did you guys, was it one shot, one kill? It was done.

Speaker 2 Well, yeah.

Speaker 1 So you guys just got it done.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Wow.
But like.

Speaker 2 Like say he wanted to do a video and I was like, I'm kind of tired right now. I don't really want to do the videos.
Like we don't have to, but like, sometimes, like, yeah, you got to do a video. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because you just feel it inside of you, you got to do it. Do you feel like the fans want it, or you just think you have a good idea? Like, like,

Speaker 1 when are the times you feel like you got to do one?

Speaker 2 Um, I got to do a video, like, if I

Speaker 2 got to do a video,

Speaker 2 like, if I'm at a cool event, yeah,

Speaker 2 or like if I meet, like, someone famous.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do something cool, memorialize memorialize it. Yeah.
Yeah, I like that. I've seen some of the great videos you have with your bicycling tricks, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 2 BMX tricks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right there. And this is great right here.

Speaker 2 That's my beautiful bike right there.

Speaker 1 Oh, that thing's nice. Huh? Who got you that?

Speaker 2 Um, I got it at Walmart with my grandma and grandpa.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's nice. Are they good people? Yeah.
Nice. What's your grandfather's name? Do you know?

Speaker 2 Joe. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Grandpa Joe, I love it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 The first trick I'm going to do is the no-hander.

Speaker 2 That helmet I also got at Walmart.

Speaker 1 Oh, I can tell that.

Speaker 2 It's supposed to be a dirt bike helmet.

Speaker 2 Oh, one hand, the ball.

Speaker 2 Hey, switched it up, boy.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 That's just for St.

Speaker 1 Patty's Day, that one, brother. That's only for St.
Patty's. Now, do you have any new bike tricks up your sleeve? Do you think we'll see any more?

Speaker 2 So I've been practicing a new bike move. It's kind of easy now.
It's like you ride the bike, you go really fast, and then you slowly let go.

Speaker 2 You have to keep your balance.

Speaker 2 Both hands? Yeah, both hands.

Speaker 2 And what? That's it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 But that's it.

Speaker 2 But if I feel like I'm starting to fall, I grab back on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, respect. Nice.
So do you think we'll see that maybe this summer, into the summer sometime?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You haven't released that one yet?

Speaker 2 No, I haven't. Okay, got it.

Speaker 1 Where do you hail from? Where did you actually begin, like, in birth and stuff?

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 But, like, are you from a certain town or city?

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, okay. So, actually, I'm from

Speaker 2 Staten Island. Oh, really? No, I moved to New Jersey, right?

Speaker 2 And then now

Speaker 2 I go everywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like it. Do you feel a responsibility? I think a lot of people saw you in that original Black Panther video, right?

Speaker 1 And people saw you just kind of take on this responsibility to want to be somebody who fights for the people.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is that how you feel in your heart, you think? Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Like, do you think you could

Speaker 1 actually battle some of the crime bosses that are actually out there, some of the corrupt politicians, those sort of guys?

Speaker 2 I think so, yeah. Yeah.
I'm pretty strong.

Speaker 2 Yeah, dang, bro.

Speaker 1 You've been growing, huh?

Speaker 1 It's important.

Speaker 1 And does your mother make you some nice dinner once in a while? What does she like to make for you?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 usually I eat this, like, it's like TV dinner. It's really good for you.
It's called Factor.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, Factor meals.

Speaker 2 They're so good. Yeah.
And very healthy.

Speaker 1 They are good. We've done advertisements for them over the years.
Some of my friends eat those. Oh, no.
Yeah, I like it because it's just like if it's the right amount of food, bam,

Speaker 1 you're done. Yeah.
Yeah, I like they had, I think they used to have have like a chicken cordon blue or something that I would have sometimes.

Speaker 2 They give us like 160 of them.

Speaker 2 Oh lord. My whole freezer is full with them.
Oh.

Speaker 1 So yeah, everybody's getting one. You get a factor.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you have chores at home?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. What do some of those consist of?

Speaker 2 So like I clean my room sometimes and I do the dishes once a week. Okay.

Speaker 1 So once a week, you got to do the dishes.

Speaker 2 Well, really, after I eat, I have to do the dishes.

Speaker 1 Okay. So after you eat, you got to do the dishes.

Speaker 2 And also, I only do the dishes when my mom cooks. Okay.
Or my dad.

Speaker 2 Or your dad cooks. Yeah.
That's the only time when I do the dishes.

Speaker 1 Why is that?

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 I don't know. I like doing the dishes.
Hey, you want to help out? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like that. It makes it a family affair, huh?

Speaker 1 And does your grandmother ever cook anything for you?

Speaker 2 Oh, well, then I should probably clarify that point I made earlier about inconsistent torque ratings.

Speaker 1 No, I think we're good on that topic, brother. Thanks for sitting down with me, Hank.

Speaker 2 Well, thank you too, Theo. This is my first time being on a podcast.
Oh, yeah?

Speaker 1 Do you listen to any podcasts?

Speaker 2 Just one. The Propane Resource Council podcast hosted by Chet Murray.

Speaker 1 I'm not familiar with that one.

Speaker 2 Oh, well, Chet's a real character, I tell you what.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 So you used to sell propane?

Speaker 2 Propane and propane accessories.

Speaker 1 Is propane considered an upper echelon gas?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 Some people say it's just zesty diesel, you know. So

Speaker 1 how high can it get you?

Speaker 2 The only recreational use for propane is for family activities such as frying up a turkey on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 You know, I grew up in Louisiana, Hank, so me and my cousin Boogie, we used to ride our bikes behind the city mosquito sprayers and catch a buzz off those fumes, daddy, you feel me?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 Uh, anyway, you said you're from Louisiana. My neighbor Bill is from Louisiana.
Did you ever run across any of the Dotreves?

Speaker 1 Yes, I did. A guy named Gilbert Dotreve.

Speaker 2 That's Bill's cousin. Uh-uh.

Speaker 1 Search up a Gilbert Dotreve.

Speaker 2 Gilbert.

Speaker 2 Hey, there's Bill. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, we used to give each other haircuts on his front porch.

Speaker 2 So, uh, my son Bobby gave me this ad for his restaurant. I promised him I'd read it.
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 Uh, guests don't usually bring their own ad reads.

Speaker 2 Robota Chain is Dallas's only German-Japanese fusion restaurant, where East meets worst, as in Bratwurst. Ugh, I think he wrote this himself.

Speaker 1 Sounds beautiful.

Speaker 2 Oh, uh, that's my wife, Peggy. She's reminding me to talk about her.

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever, man. We got three hours.

Speaker 2 Oh, we do.

Speaker 2 Well, then, you see, the pass-through socket is best used in those type of situations I was talking about earlier where a hex socket is impractical.

Speaker 1 What, uh, but you know, in fourth grade, you know what they do have? They have

Speaker 2 more drama. Oh, it's true, huh?

Speaker 1 I mean, yeah, what like people would just talk in more noise, you think?

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 1 a lot of gossip, yeah, rumors,

Speaker 2 hmm.

Speaker 1 And they have, um,

Speaker 1 you have to add and subtract fractions.

Speaker 1 Can you already do it? Yeah.

Speaker 2 No way.

Speaker 1 Are they taught you that?

Speaker 2 Well, add and subtract fractions.

Speaker 2 I don't know how to do that, but I know how to do fractions. Oh, yeah.
All right.

Speaker 1 You're probably halfway to add in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, what's some of the freaking noise that could come in here in the fourth grade? What's some stuff that, you know,

Speaker 1 you think there's gangs or whatever?

Speaker 2 Probably.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 1 And are you looking forward to seeing some of your friends again or no?

Speaker 2 Well, yeah, I know everyone in the third grade, so I don't really care who I get in my class.

Speaker 1 Were you going to a new school or just the same school?

Speaker 2 No, same school. Okay.

Speaker 1 So you'll know everybody in there, huh? It'll be a little bit different, though. People would be taller, different.

Speaker 2 True. You know?

Speaker 1 Is it hard for you to like, do they want you to be the Rizzler at school? What do they want at school? Is there a lot of pressure or anything? What does that feel like?

Speaker 2 Well, the first year was kind of crazy, but now it's not. Because I took pictures with everyone in the school, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah, like it's done. Even the school.

Speaker 2 I'm like that. I'm like that.

Speaker 1 You are? I'm like that.

Speaker 2 It looks like it hurts.

Speaker 1 It does, I know. Yeah.
It's brave. Some of these guys do brave stuff.

Speaker 1 How did you meet AJ and BJ, man? How did you meet those guys? Did you meet them at a Costco or something?

Speaker 2 So I met them at American Dream Mall.

Speaker 1 At American Dream Mall?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And what, y'all were just wandering around? They were wandering around?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 They messaged us and they were like, yo, we shouldn't meet at American Dream Mall. No, we just met.

Speaker 1 You guys aren't related, though. There's rumors out there that you guys are related.

Speaker 2 Is that true? No.

Speaker 2 We're not related.

Speaker 1 Nothing.

Speaker 2 I wish, but we're not.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's nice of you. But you're still able to spend time together, huh? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And what is something that AJ likes to do or BJ likes to do that people don't know?

Speaker 2 Um

Speaker 2 open cards like Pokemon cards? I like to do that.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? How much is a pack of Pokemon cards?

Speaker 2 Well, a pack is $5.

Speaker 1 And you, can you...

Speaker 1 What's like the best thing you could pull out of one?

Speaker 2 A full art. A full art? And the top card, which is the top card is usually $300,

Speaker 2 $400. $400 worth? Yeah.
No, what? But there's not just one set. There's like a bunch of sets.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Like, that's a top card that goes.

Speaker 2 I know how much that goes for. That's like.

Speaker 2 Oh, wait.

Speaker 1 Might not be a real one. That goes.

Speaker 2 No, that is. I think.

Speaker 2 Oh, it goes for like $600.

Speaker 2 Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 Gosh. That golden two, I have it.

Speaker 2 I think. No, no, no, not that Mewtwo.
The Mewtwo?

Speaker 2 Yeah, you see that one? I have that one, but instead of it being like pink, I have it being blue, and it's it's all gold.

Speaker 2 Beautiful. So it's basically the better version of this one.

Speaker 1 And how often are you able to buy packs? Do you have an allowance?

Speaker 2 What do you have? Well, really, when I go see AJ and McJustice, like I usually open cards with them.

Speaker 1 Okay, so they got cards. They like doing it.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, nice.
And later, I'm going to this place. It's five minutes away from my hotel.
It's,

Speaker 2 I forgot it's what it's called.

Speaker 2 Oh, LA Sports Cards. It's like, we've been there before.

Speaker 2 Sports cards? JJ McJustice and me, we've been there. And it's actually really cool there.
I pulled a

Speaker 2 Literally five minutes away from my hotel.

Speaker 1 That's great. They have UFC cards too.
They have all kinds.

Speaker 2 He's not like famous. But he trains it.
Like, he's done it like two or three matches before.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, there he is right there, Riley Hunt. Let's get a gander at him.

It's a lot of fun, man.

Speaker 2 Well, usually the fights are like two or three minutes. Yeah, they're pretty quick sometimes.
Yeah, they're quick. This one was like

Speaker 2 30 seconds, not going to lie.

Speaker 1 What's a sport you see yourself evolving into one day?

Speaker 1 Like if you had to go pro in something? Because you're going to have opportunities.

Speaker 2 Probably basketball. For sure.
Or baseball. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who would you play for if you went pro and baseball?

Speaker 2 The Mets.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, brother.

Speaker 1 First game I ever went and saw was a Mets game. Really? Yeah, Benny Ogbeyon.

Speaker 1 Anything Riz possible.

Speaker 2 I almost made that. Yeah, you did.
I agree. I agree.
I almost made that.

Speaker 1 Anything Riz possible, dude.

Speaker 1 When you sell the Pokemon cards, you flipping them or you keeping them? What are you doing?

Speaker 2 I keep them. Yeah.
Big Justice likes to sell them, but.

Speaker 1 He likes to get in the business side.

Speaker 2 I agree with him when he sells them. You do?

Speaker 1 She supports his business. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's another business you think you could see you and your family starting one day? Could it be a restaurant? Could it be a shoe shop? What sort of thing? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Oh, and speaking of cards, there's a Pokemon pack that goes for $800. Uh-uh.

Speaker 2 And is it already open? Yeah, $800.

Speaker 2 Is it already opened? No, it's like sealed. It's sealed.

Speaker 1 So you don't know what's in it?

Speaker 2 It's for $1998.

Speaker 1 You weren't even born then, were you?

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 1 That's crazy, man. Long time ago.

Speaker 2 Long time.

Speaker 1 What did you notice over your life change? change? What is something you've noticed over your

Speaker 1 some things change over your life?

Speaker 1 But it's fine. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I feel you, dude. That's kind of how I feel about everything.

Speaker 1 That's my number one answer most of the time. It's like, I don't know, but I guess it's fine.

Speaker 2 You know?

Speaker 1 I think that's super important.

Speaker 1 I know that

Speaker 1 AJ and BJ are known for the booms, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Are you allowed to boom at home? Does your mom say keep the boom in the car? What's the rules over there?

Speaker 2 Well, like when I'm home, I don't really do like the boom or like the wrist face of that at home. But that's work.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's like when Superman puts his cape on. Yeah.
But at home, you just Clark Kenton around. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I like that.

Speaker 1 But does your mom care if you boom at home or if you were or does she like?

Speaker 2 I mean, like,

Speaker 2 I don't really, like,

Speaker 2 do that.

Speaker 2 I only do it from, like, doing a video or something or like a cameo. Yeah.
Really, I do this. That's it.
AJ and Big Justice do the booms.

Speaker 1 They're booming all day. What's the most booms you've ever seen them do in one day, probably? What's the most booms you've ever seen?

Speaker 2 Well, they only do five booms.

Speaker 1 But have you ever seen them do even in one day?

Speaker 2 Oh, one day they probably, if they're doing cameos, 108 booms.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 1 Did the police show up?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 God.

Speaker 2 It's a lot of booms.

Speaker 1 It just seems like too many for a couple of guys. But if anybody can pull it off, they can.

Speaker 2 I did

Speaker 2 a thing with them

Speaker 2 where,

Speaker 2 so we did 100 cameos in one day. No, two days, two days.
Wow. We ended at like 60 and then the next day we finished.

Speaker 1 Did it feel like a lot? Were you burnt out?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 How are you doing personally, man? I know you got a lot going on in your life, right? Like your life's kind of different than other young men's lives, you know?

Speaker 1 You have a responsibility to, you know, the people of Gotham City, the people of the world, you know?

Speaker 1 They expect when times are tough, they expect the Rizzler to show up and be there to support them, to show them love, and to be like a,

Speaker 1 you know, to be a beacon of hope.

Speaker 2 Yeah. in the world.

Speaker 1 But what's that pressure like on you? Like, are you handling it okay? Do you have moments where you just have to go sit out on the porch and just like

Speaker 1 not smoke or whatever, but you know, sit there or whatever? Yeah.

Speaker 1 You take you ever take some time for yourself. How do you handle that pressure?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Get a massage or something?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you get a massage? Can people even legally massage a kid?

Speaker 2 Actually, when I went to Big Justice's house, he had a massage chair in his room. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know what age he is, but

Speaker 1 that starts to happen.

Speaker 2 He's, I think he's 12.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's 12 or 13.

Speaker 2 Yeah

Speaker 1 oh Dang, so what people were just missing and he gets massages to come?

Speaker 2 Yeah, and then his friend like his friend's dad

Speaker 1 Rismus in July or something? Stand on Rismus. It's you going and helping out

Speaker 1 like lemonade stands that are failing or different neighborhood businesses, you know. I could see because it seems like you really like to be helpful to people.

Speaker 2 Is that true? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I can see that in your heart. And so I think that would be neat if there's like a young, young person starting a business and you roll up and you add some riz to it.

Speaker 2 And you know, I have a hidden talent.

Speaker 2 I can crack my jaw. You can?

Speaker 2 Okay, I can kind of crack it. Try one more time.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure if you can hear it, but like.

Speaker 1 I can hear it. I can hear it.

Speaker 1 I can almost hear it.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Earlier, I cracked my neck and it was like,

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 1 It feels good, huh?

Speaker 2 My soul almost left my body.

Speaker 2 Dude, come on. You're out.

Speaker 1 But, dude, I don't like it when people crack their fingers. It creeps me out.
Yeah, when people crack their fingers, like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Get some vitamins or whatever. You're falling apart out here, and I got to listen to it when you look back on your life are this important

Speaker 1 what's maybe a choice you wish you'd have made differently when you look back on your life

Speaker 2 um

Speaker 2 but is there like something you're like ah maybe i could have done that a little different or maybe i wish i hadn't done that um when i lost a fortnight match yeah yeah burned you huh and like i tried to do a strategy and then i tried to do that strategy and it didn't work.

Speaker 1 That happens a lot in life. I think if you have a strategy for something, it doesn't pan out.
Yeah. You know?

Speaker 1 One day you got to get your mother probably a nice gift. You know, once guys kind of make it in the industry, they got to get their mother something, you know?

Speaker 1 Which is something you'd think your mother would really like from you, you know?

Speaker 2 A necklace? Ooh.

Speaker 1 I like that, huh?

Speaker 1 What would it have on it or say on it or would it be maybe have something written on it or something?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe it'd be like a diamond like inside of a ring. Yeah, like but like the ring is like around the diamond.
And you know how it's not like there's a ring and then the diamond is outside of it.

Speaker 2 It's a diamond and then the ring is like Saturn. The ring is around the diamond.

Speaker 2 Pretty cool.

Speaker 1 It's a good idea. I could see you doing jewelry.

Speaker 1 You know?

Speaker 1 Doing a jewelry shop, maybe?

Speaker 1 I like that.

Speaker 1 If you had to sell one dessert for the rest of your life to people, what would it be, you think?

Speaker 1 Trying to think what mine would be. Brownies.
God, come on.

Speaker 2 My Mimo makes the best brownies. God.

Speaker 1 What does she put in them?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 And what does she like to do? Does she play cards or what does she do?

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 What are we doing?

Speaker 2 I know, huh?

Speaker 1 I'm going to let you crack my neck in a second. Those things look good.

Speaker 1 What are some things you think? Like, you're an older brother.

Speaker 1 I want to know a little bit before the fame, a couple questions. Were you a Miss Rachel fan before the fame? Do you remember her?

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. I hate Miss Rachel.

Speaker 2 You know why? Why? Because, right? I was like watching Netflix with Big Justice. Yeah.
Yeah. And then I sat on the remote by accident and Miss Rachel turned on.
And I was just like staring at her.

Speaker 2 And then cousin Angel came up behind me. I was like, you have a crush up with Rachel.
I'm like, I'm like, don't. And then, like.

Speaker 1 So they were pressing you about her. Yeah.
Yeah. So that made you feel uncomfortable then a little bit.
Yeah, she seemed like a sweet lady. Yeah.
But you weren't tapped in.

Speaker 1 You weren't watching Miss Rachel videos and stuff before you blew up.

Speaker 1 True, you were not, right?

Speaker 2 My baby cousin, he's like one years old.

Speaker 2 He watched Miss He watches Miss Rachel.

Speaker 1 Okay, so some people are watching it in the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 Okay, fair, fair. You know what I like watching? What? Cocomelon.

Speaker 1 What is it?

Speaker 2 Cocomelon? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 It's kind of, it's just kind of passive watching, right? Teasy.

Speaker 2 Like, say, like, I watch a scary movie, like, in the middle of the night. I'm like, oh, I turn off the, I turn off the TV, put on every light in my house, turn back on the TV, watch Cocomelon.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're definitely...

Speaker 1 You're definitely a regular American right there. And now a scary movie could just be the news even and people can't even handle it.

Speaker 2 I heard they made a live-action.

Speaker 2 Nuh-uh.

Speaker 1 Who played Cocomelon?

Speaker 2 Oh, I think it's right there. That one.

Speaker 2 That one? Yes, I think it.

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 2 Well, I heard a rumor that there was a live action one.

Speaker 2 Huh.

Speaker 1 That'd be cool to go see.

Speaker 1 Do you remember what your first word was?

Speaker 2 Rizzler.

Speaker 2 Gotta be. Yeah, Rizzler.
Yeah. That was my first word.

Speaker 1 I mean, yeah, if anything else fell out of your mouth, people would be shocked. You know?

Speaker 1 I know that you've been doing some acting recently. You have a deal with Hardees, right?

Speaker 1 You were doing a commercial whenever I freaking saw you in Nashville. Let's take a peek at it, can we?

Speaker 1 Beautiful, sunny day at at the pool.

Speaker 1 There was only one thing that could make the day better.

Speaker 1 Now, look at that there.

Speaker 1 The Rizzler knew what he had to do.

Speaker 2 Have you ever seen Sandmar? Yeah. This was the part of the life guard.
Instead, I ate the first

Speaker 1 plan was in motion.

Speaker 2 Look at me. I turn upside down.

Speaker 4 Dang, Rizz.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 1 Nice execution, RizDog.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 This message is approved by the Rizzler. Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 You did a good job, man.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Were you feel overwhelmed that day, or did you feel like everything was kind of manageable?

Speaker 2 It was actually pretty nice really and it was it kind of reminded me of my uh

Speaker 2 uh what's called

Speaker 2 booking.com commercial mm-hmm

Speaker 1 oh so it is reminding you of other acting you've done yeah yeah do you feel like acting is something else you want to do in your life

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 1 what makes you feel that what gives you that calling kind of

Speaker 2 i'm just good at it

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 1 If you weren't an actor, what would you be then, you think?

Speaker 2 A comedian, because I'm funny. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude, that's cool, bro.

Speaker 2 But I would only like do shows like once a year.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Special event.

Speaker 2 Or like, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Or like once a month or something like that.

Speaker 2 Once a month is too crazy, but like

Speaker 1 four times a year.

Speaker 2 Yeah, four times a year.

Speaker 2 At least.

Speaker 2 At least. Wait, wait, when you do your comedy shows, like, when, when is your favorite time to like do comedy shows?

Speaker 1 Probably in the evening for sure.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you do it too early, I think a lot of people, but if you want people to come to the show, a lot of them are at work during the day. So you have to wait till they get off work.

Speaker 1 So usually they can get there by like seven,

Speaker 1 see a show. So that's pretty fun.

Speaker 2 Like, do you do a lot of comedy shows?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll probably do

Speaker 1 maybe a hundred something a year.

Speaker 1 So I've done a lot. That's good.

Speaker 2 That's good.

Speaker 1 Thanks, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not, you know, I'm not where I want to be.

Speaker 2 That's like having a bulletproof vest.

Speaker 1 But it stops Riz. Yeah.
