•Jul 15, 20259 months agoSummary
Nate Wyatt, a 28-year-old actor, musician, and TikTok personality with 5 million followers, discusses his journey from Cincinnati to LA, his decision to prioritize acting and music over OnlyFans opportunities, and his experiences navigating the entertainment industry while avoiding drugs and peer pressure.
Insights
- Social media following can be a double-edged sword in entertainment—Wyatt gained 5M TikTok followers unintentionally while pursuing acting/music, but recognizes that monetizing via adult platforms would derail his core career goals and brand partnerships
- Fentanyl crisis is pervasive across entertainment and festival scenes, with users often unaware of lacing; education and personal loss are the primary drivers of behavior change and advocacy
- Strong personal values and boundary-setting (saying no to drugs, peer pressure, and lucrative but misaligned opportunities) can be competitive advantages in entertainment, enabling long-term brand partnerships
- Childhood resilience and parental support systems matter more than traditional family structure; Wyatt credits his mother's intentional coaching and mentorship for his stability despite absent father
- Influencer boxing matches and similar crossover ventures often involve contractual deception and non-payment; legal representation and agent conflicts of interest are systemic issues

Actor, musician, and social media personality, Nate Wyatt joins the We're Out of Time podcast. I saw the movie that just came out. That's actually number one on 2B. Acting and music is what I originally came out here for. And then I kind of just got a social media following halfway through. So you got five million people on TikTok, right? Yeah. I came out here to be a successful actor and musician. And the moment you started going into that lane, that all goes out the window. Does that five to ten mil sound great? Of course. I was raised by my mom. And I feel like she did an amazing job playing both roles and putting me in the best situation possible that she could. You know, I didn't have a dad in my life. She was really good at putting good coaches and people around me to kind of fill in that father void that wasn't there. I just know I'm going to be a good dad at whatever time period that is. Because I know what I guess I didn't have growing up. I know what I want to get my kids one day. Thank you for listening to the We're Out of Time podcast with Richard Tate. If you haven't already, please follow the podcast, rate and review. And if you're getting value out of We're Out of Time, share it with someone else you know. AY it. How are you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. How are you doing? Good. Thank you for having me on. No, bro. Thanks for coming. I appreciate it. We got in. Last time I was sick. No. Now we're here, though. We're good. I'm not sick anymore. I still want to be on the podcast. Like I said in there, I want to be on the podcast sniffing and sneezing and... No, dude, you're tight. You're fine. All right. So I want to ask you a couple of questions. Let's do it. Tell me a little bit about yourself and growing up in Cincinnati and what that was like. We're going to do a little character development first. Cool. Cool. Let's do it. Growing up in Cincinnati was was great. I saw I was raised by my mom and I feel like she did an amazing job playing both roles and putting me in the best situation possible that she could for me to be raised up right. Obviously, a little bit of struggle here and there, but you know, I didn't have a dad in my life, so Cincinnati big on sports, like played sports my whole life. She was really good at putting good coaches and people around me to kind of fill in that that father void that wasn't there. And my mom was like just the best mom you can ask for. To where I honestly didn't feel like I like needed a dad growing up, honestly. But growing up in Cincinnati was amazing. It's very family oriented over there. I feel like Midwest values are some of the best values to be raised up on. I feel like it's hard for me to meet someone from the Midwest that doesn't have just like that very traditional good value. And yeah, if I could go back and change anything of how I was raised, I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything. That's beautiful. You're close with your mom today. Very close, extremely close. Yeah. Have you ever met your dad? Yeah, yeah, I have. I met him a little bit later in life, like around like eighth grade. And when he came into my life, like he was a good dad, but I almost feel like at that point, you're you're like you're almost like develop you're develop more. So it was it felt like it was a little too late, I guess. Well, I know you asked him the question. Yeah. What was the question? Where were you this this whole time? Yeah. Why did you leave? You know, actually, I don't even think I've gotten those full answers answered because I have a relationship with someone until you get the elephant out of the room. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You have a reason to feel like, dude, where were you on 15 right now? Yeah, or how old are you in eighth grade? If you're 12, you're 12 or 13. Yeah, I need to 12. So I mean, at 12, I was like fully I was I was on it. Yeah. OK, 12. So you were probably the same way. Mm hmm. Right. You know, I do I'm 12. Yeah. What's going on here? Where are you? Mm hmm. OK. What it what was what did he say? Um, oh my gosh. You know, something like that. I know I don't you know, it's crazy. I feel like I block out that part of my life so much that I don't even. It's crazy. I genuinely don't remember the conversation of like where were you? I just know why he wasn't in my life is because he didn't play. Like a lot of like child support and like stuff like that. Like like I said, my mom was she did it all like she. Even if your father was struggling and he didn't have any money or he had fallen on hard times and he couldn't pay child support, that's one thing. OK, but he wasn't around at all. Exactly. And that actually I got reminded. My my mom said like he he was welcome to come into your life. If he really, really wanted to my mom's like going to sit there and stop, you know, her son from having his father in his life. I remember that actually. I remember that. So maybe so maybe he felt shame. Around not being able to contribute to the household financially. Yeah. And he didn't come around. I can understand that. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make it better for you and it still sucks for you. But you're getting older now. You can put yourself in his position, right? Yeah. And say, man, that must have been horrible. Yeah. You know what? Actually, I I'm not asked those questions because it's a very uncomfortable question to ask. And I think how I was raised, I was raised up so good and like almost like I didn't really need that figure. I don't know if I've just like trained my brain to think that. But I almost. When he did come into my life, I was almost just like happy. He was now in my life. Absolutely. You know what I mean? So I didn't really. Dig too much on those questions. You don't need to dig into it because of the fact that you need to hear it. I think unless that. Elephant in the room is addressed. I don't think you're going to have. The relationship. That you could have with him. Yeah, as good as it could be. Yeah, I think. For sure. And it's funny we're on this topic now. Now, I haven't talked to him since I've actually been in LA for eight years. Like I kind of had a semi relationship with him. Why he wouldn't? Why wouldn't he he's your dad? Why wouldn't he reach out to you? I kind of stopped. I think because I just like stopped. I didn't answer the calls. OK, so he felt dejected and he's going to let you live your life. Yeah, that's kind of where we're at right now. And so like. I can tell it's like he's he's going to be there. And when I want to have that conversation or when I want to bring him back into my life, then. He's open to that call and conversation. How old was he when you were born? You know. He had to be when I was 26, so he had to be mid 30s, mid 30s. OK. How old are you? I'm 28. You got kids? No. No. You think you can handle a kid right now? Yes, I do. OK, well, then that was going nowhere. No, I just know I'm going to be a good dad of whatever time period that is. Good for you. Because I know what I guess I didn't have growing up. And I know what I want to get my kid one day. All you got to give kids is your time and your attention. They don't care about money. They don't care about anything. They just want your attention. Exactly. Don't use a phone. Don't ever have a phone in front of your kid. Who was because they're not important if your phone is down and you're on their level. Because remember, they're small, right? Yeah. So you get on their level without your phone and they'll go. Right. And they know what they're saying, but you don't know. You know, they say things like, wow. Right. And you're just present. And then what happens is they'll go off and play on their own. Yeah. Right. It's called independent play. Right. It's it happens. I don't know, maybe around 12 to 18 months in there. Right. If I remember correctly, and they show their independence. And then what happens is they'll turn around. And if to look for you because they get scared. Yeah. And if you're there, then they're comfortable and there's no anxiety. Right. And then they can go on and still and now go back to their becoming independent. Yeah. It's crazy what to do with those in technology things nowadays. It's a beautiful thing, man. It's a beautiful thing. All right, let's get into this thing. Started out hot. Thanks for that. Of course. All right. Have you ever faced moments of pressure, overwork or substance temptation in this industry? And how did you handle those times? Bring me that off one more time. Have you done drugs? So that was come on. Yeah, now's no, I haven't. You've never done drugs. No. You know, I'm I'm inclined to believe him. I have not. Because he doesn't have any facial tattoos. None. I don't see a tattoo on this kid. Not one. No. No tattoos on you. No. You Jewish? No. My manager's yours. You what? My manager's yours. To my manager's is yours. That's probably for the best. I haven't, but have I been around it a lot? Let's talk about that. Like, of course. You're a DJ. OK, you see people falling out and overdosing all the time, right? No, not overdosing, but it's actually it's not even come from the DJ aspect. No, I'm about to get into it. Stop. This is this is this is nuts. If you're up there spinning with all the hot women around you and you're looking at everybody dancing and jumping up and down, if you don't see anybody overdosing, then the fentanyl epidemic is bullshit. No, I definitely have seen people overdose. But when I'm DJing, I'm not you're not looking in the crowd and seeing people drop where you know, it's where I have seen people like overdoses. When I'm at EDC, it's one of the biggest electronic music festivals in the world. And this happens at, you know, multiple house music festivals or even like hip hop and stuff. But I remember going through like the main medical tent one day and there's just people overdosing on both sides of me. Like you're walking up this row trying to find my friend who had to go to a medical tent and just seeing people overdose even from each tent to tent. And that like happens at obviously a lot of festivals because, you know, the fentanyl stuff and things I can get mixed in with with drugs. But I've definitely been around it a lot, not even so much from the DJ aspect, more so from just like the party scene and LA throughout the years of living out here. And I mean, yeah, it's kind of kind of all around at the house parties, especially for sure. Yeah, yeah, because people feel more contained and safer. Yeah. In those environments. Yes. You ever see anybody die? No, I didn't think about that. I was like, no, well, that you know of. I've had a friend die. I haven't seen him die. I didn't see him die, obviously, but I had a friend that that died from yeah, fentanyl being laced in a Xanax. Oh, was he? Um. Yeah, my gosh, he had to be. Twenty one. His parents must be insane. Yeah. They just play insane in a sense of how do you mean like? Like seeing their mom. Oh, yeah. Like wanting to light themselves on fire. That that insane. Yeah. Like being at their kids funeral and wanting to jump in the casket with him. That that. Yeah. They were insane. I feel like that's like the worst way for. Someone you love to go is like from drugs, like something that could have been prevented maybe somehow. I don't know. I feel like that's. I don't know what's. A bad or good way. I haven't given it any thought, but I will tell you this. That and you'll know this when you have a child. Nothing else matters. Yeah. OK, I mean, I was I had the best relationship with my ex in the world. The second we had a kid, nothing I said was funny anymore. OK, and that kid, it's all that kid was all that mattered. Yeah. And I was totally fine with it because I was in love with this kid too. And so I never was jealous or resentful ever. Wait, this was her kid or this was your kid? The kid, our kid, that's our kid. Right. Because when you have a kid, it's almost like your life isn't yours anymore. Everything you kind of knew is, you know, now it's a revolver on the kid. And that's right. The biggest hive ever had that euphoria. This is so much better. Now, it's not more euphoric. Yeah. But what it does is it changes you. So your heart feels like it's expanding and it's going to explode. That's how much you love your children. Yeah. And so to have a child that you have to bury is that I can tell you right now is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. I'm so bearing their child. Yeah. Hey, I know a question I want to ask. Hey, because you're around. You're around so many beautiful women. Yes. Seriously. If I was around the beautiful women that you're around all the time, I would just stroke out. You just stroke out. I would stroke right out. So you don't see these and just fall out. Just drop. OK. I feel like you're around a lot of beautiful women. Oh, no, that's not true. That's not true at all. So anyway, two and fifty eight. I've got one foot in the grave. It's your world, son. It ain't my world. I'm sure you've been around a lot of beautiful women. Yeah. Yeah. When I had hair. Can. But where are you from? Are you from LA? Yeah. Yeah. OK. So you've been around it. Fifty eight years. OK. Oh, yeah. Could you ever see yourself living somewhere else? Oh, yeah. Really? Because I can't. I lived in New York. I lived last summer. I lived. I mean, I've been around a lot of places and I can't see myself living in anywhere other than LA. But also, I haven't been out here for that long. I've been out here for eight years. Well, I plan on living everywhere. Really? Yes. How does that work out? How's our working out? It's going to work out just fine. It's going to work out just fine. That left me on like a thinker. Are you married? Who would have me? I feel like there's a lot of women that would. Me? Yeah. You have a good energy. You have a good energy about you that I feel like a lot of you're not boring. I really don't feel like you're a boring person at all. Nobody wants me, dude. Really? Nobody. Do I get a pry into that? Why is that? Do I get it? Do I get asked those questions? So I flip this. Well, you can ask me. Why? Why does why does nobody want me? Yeah. What? I don't leave the house. OK. There's no other. How am I going to find anybody? I mean, what's going to happen? Someone's going to knock on my door and say, excuse me, any of you losers have a phone or. Wait, why don't you leave the house at all, though? Well, because I work behind that wall. Got you. And here we do our podcast. Yeah. And in there, I've got what? Seven, eight people working. OK. And so this is an office. Yeah. We work and then I go upstairs and I go to bed. Respect that. Do you ever go out to like dinners or like just kind of just like events, like friends events? Whatever. Did you do that when you were younger? When I was younger? Yeah. You know, it's funny. It's that's an excellent point. I've never had balance. So when I was young, it was all fun all the time. I didn't there was there was no work. Yeah. OK. And that lasted up until about. I mean, twenty seven. I mean, I was a fitness instructor. Yeah, I was, you know, selling products and stuff. But I didn't know how to have balance. And then what happened was it shifted. And I got sober. And what happened was I felt like I had to make up for lost time. That's how people feel when they're getting sober. A lot of times. Like like I got to make up for donking off all that all those years. Time being a loser. Right. And that was my thing. I can say that. So I started working around the clock man and I have not stopped. Except for the after selling my last business, Cliffside. When I sold it, I had a five year non-compete. So I didn't work. And it was the worst five years I'd ever had. That might be a simple thing to some people. But was I mean a non-compete? Like, I actually don't know. Oh, I mean. So when you sell a business for a ton of money, they tell you you can't operate a business like that for three, five years, sometimes one year. It's whatever you negotiate. But I wasn't allowed to help anybody anymore. Oh, I know. For five years. Yeah. Well, you had to jump to like, honestly, something like completely different. Yeah. But I don't know anything. Right. I don't do anything different. I help people for a living. I give people back their loved ones. You know, that's what I do. That's all I do. OK. I don't know how to do anything else. Right. So if that's your purpose in life and you're not doing it, then you feel like the biggest scumbag alive. Yeah. Like you're just like seriously, I felt like a bigger loser after selling my business than I did smoking crack. OK. Well, how? I'm like because there's nothing more steamable than giving a father or a mother back their child. Nothing, especially if you're a father. Wait, what do you when you said? You felt like a loser after selling your business. Then how did that wrap into the family? That's not that's a great question. So what I do for a living is I help people for a living, get off drugs and alcohol. But then what are you going to do next? You want what are your dreams? Where your goals? Yeah. I want to be what do you want to do? Let's go get there. OK. And after I sold my business, I got a bag. OK. But that's the bad help people anymore, which is what gives you that high. But basically, that's right. Wow. And then if you were afraid of the money like I was, because I never had any money, right? You get this big bag and you're like, what am I supposed to do? Yes, you get scared. You know, you're not allowed to work for another five years. So what am I going to do? If I if I mismanage this money and I wasn't an investor, you know, I am now. Yeah. You know, I know what I'm doing now. It's been seven years since I sold my business. If I didn't learn it in seven years, then, you know, I'd be living in one bedroom apartment in Culver City. Yeah. What did you do after you sold your company? Like meaning like in those five years, you couldn't do that. I got I got good with my with my kids and my ex. And so I've got a really good relationship with my children who I see every day, you know, and my ex and I are best friends. That's not true. She's my best friend. I'm like her 17th best friend. Seventy. This is great. Yeah. Well, she said you can't help we love, right? That's that's so true. So true. You know, and and she's got a beautiful man. Right. Who loves my children like they're his. And, you know, I had that work to do. You know, I neglected my self care for 15 years. So first thing I did was I went and got my heart checked. And that wasn't good. And so we fixed that. And my leg wasn't good. And I fixed that. And, you know, I I had all broken teeth, you know, because, you know, when you smoke crack, you got the clamp down, right? Yeah. And so my teeth would always be broken and, you know, get them fixed and then they break again. And so I got I got that handled. You know, it was about, you know, I went and got my eyes checked. And, you know, I go back now every year because that's part of self care. I get my blood drawn every six months. I get it twice a year. I'm very like health health conscious. You got to do it. You got to go to the doctor once a year for different things. So, you know, for dermatology, for your heart, internist, you know, all this stuff. Yeah. I feel like it's a little scary, but because just everything in the world, like their foods and like just everything. It's but if you want it, but if you but the whole idea is is self care turns into self esteem, which turns into self love, right? Yeah. And I've never seen anybody use drugs or alcohol trying to kill themselves with drugs and alcohol who truly love themselves. That doesn't exist. So you're saying people that use drugs and alcohol extensively, excessively, they don't love themselves. Is that basically or there's like something that's missing? They say that they don't love themselves. They loathe themselves. They loathe certain things about them that they're self medicating over. That's what that is. I'm curious about that because like I'm extremely social person. I do like what I'm out. I do like to like drink. But honestly, going out in LA, I would say 30 percent of it. I've been able to network and it's gotten me to like better places. Like I'm an actor and I was just I was I was out the end of last year, met somebody and they're like, you know, I was a director that would probably, you know, love to meet you and have you in a movie, met that director two weeks later. And now I'm about to shoot my third movie with that company with to be all just because I went out and networked. But it's like, I know a lot of people that are homebodies in LA. I'm I'm not a homebody. I'm trying to like wonder where like that that comes from for me, like liking to go out and be social and meeting people. You want to you want to see the world? That's that's a healthy thing, man. That is a healthy thing. What I do is OK. I always tell on myself, I don't care if I've got the number three mental health podcast in the country. I have things to work on too. Right. And one of my things is a joy of living. OK, I get myself esteem by taking care of people. And so I've neglected myself when it comes to a joy of living. And it's not just because my grandmother said things to me like, what are you doing going out to have a good time? Yeah, you know, like it was a bad thing. She got right. You know, in the music game, everybody's glorifying drugs with the press perks and the Xanax. And, you know, how do you feel about that? You don't do drugs yourself. How do you feel about this whole industry? I mean, I think it's definitely clearly a really bad thing. But I'm actually I'm more so around like in like the house music scene. It's like it's not really like Xanax and like press pill stuff. I feel like that's more like the hip hop scene. It's more like like the the mollies and like ecstasy, pink cocaine, like to see stuff like that. That gives you more of like that, right? That euphoric feeling, I guess, that's in like the house music scene. But it's always with that. That's that's I was all of I was literally about to say that. But it's you don't know what you're going to take. That's lace with if you don't get your pills from a pharmacy. And I'm not talking about an online pharmacy because that's nonsense. Yeah. OK. That you got problems with that in a big way. If you don't get your pills from a pharmacy, it's not if you're going to die, it's when you're going to die. Yeah, because they don't I mean, these these dealers don't know which batch is lace. I mean, they don't know where they're getting. They know it's placed. Oh, you think they all do? Sure. They know it's laced. Of course they do. They just don't know. That's scary. Like they know because I mean, I know some people that are like friends with their like deal. They're not trying to kill them, dude. They're not trying to kill you. They want repeat customers. The problem is that people are dying because when the the chemical precursors come from China to Mexico, what do you think they're doing it scientifically? You got a guy in a hazmat suit with gloves on. And, you know, the whole thing and he's got an ore and he's doing this in a big vat and then they pour it into these pill mills, pill molds. And, you know, you know, that's not scientific. One pill has got nothing in it or next to nothing. And the other thing is lethal. Yeah. Right. So. You know, this is it's all bad. I was I was going to say that in my head, you mentioned China. Do you do believe that like China is like trying to infiltrate like America with the whole fentanyl stuff to try to kill as many Americans as possible? Yeah. OK. That's like. But only because, look, dude, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. That's that's that's a thing. Yeah. I mean, our military now is on fentanyl. And I know that for sure because I treat the military. How are they on fentanyl? Is it just like the drugs that they don't know there was a fentanyl? They're on pills. They don't. Some of them know they're on fentanyl. OK. But most of them don't think they're taking fentanyl. We're talking about like active duty military. And it's like, like veterans. I live it. All in the pharmaceuticals are saying. The military, but the active military. They're on fentanyl. And 75 percent of them don't know it. Wow. Which means they're going to die. Now, the people who know they're taking fentanyl have a tolerance for fentanyl. So. A lethal dose will kill a weekend. Drug user. Right. Who's just doing it socially. But it may not kill the person who is a fentanyl specialist. You're right. So specialist. Yeah. We're all specialists. Jeez. All right. Wow. That's something I just learned. Don't you think that these people, though? These people, you think they shouldn't be glorifying this thing because I've had kids here who are who are big in the rap scene. I mean, I've had everybody. OK. And they're all telling me it's lame. Yeah. I think it's just like opening these people's eyes to like what it actually is or getting educated on it. Because a lot of people I feel like they hear, oh, fentanyl this, fentanyl that it can kill you. But like what are like until you talk to someone that really knows about it. I feel like it really drives that fear in the person. I should stop doing this. You can tell people know and unless people know somebody that died of fentanyl or someone that they loved, they don't they don't really get it. Serious. Yeah. And so it's close to home. Yeah. The second it's close to home, they're on it. Now their advocates, they're proselytizing everywhere. Foundations and so good. Yeah. I mean, it's it's that's unfortunate that it has to like hit so close to home. Yeah. But you know what? Then they get to save other people because this is the worst thing ever. Yeah. This is this is this is this is literally killing our children. Yeah. Was it always like that? Was fentanyl always a and who did it really start to come around? Right when I left in 2018. I sold right when I sold my business. This thing blew up because before that, it was Oxycontin and the Purdue. Oh, if I remember here in my head. Yeah. Oxycontin. Yeah. That was that was the thing. OK. And and then this thing came is the one question I wanted to ask you, which I forgot about and never got back to you was what do you do when a beautiful girl comes to you and she wants you but she breaks open the drugs? Like what do you do? I say no. Like like how do you do it? I feel like I have a pretty good. What's the word? What's the word? Like I don't fall in a peer pressure. But I don't want to do something like I don't do it. And honestly, I've never run into a situation where a girl is not going to hook up with me just because I don't want to do her drugs. Like I just to be honest, I'm not trying to say that like a no, no, no, that was a way. No, that was a way I don't take it that way. There's another one right over here. Like I don't need your drugs and she's not going to not hook up with me just because I'm not doing the drugs. That's why I feel like it's been able to keep me. Saying in like kind of. Yeah, say no, just if I don't want to do something, I'm just not going to. I'm not going to do it. All right. Here's my favorite question. I heard you beat the out of a bunch of YouTubers. Tell me about. Tell me about that. Actually, I lost that fight, but I went all five rounds. Yeah, I did a boxing match. How many fights? Just one. Oh, just one. I did it for a check. Like I'm an actor, musician and and I'm in entertainment space. I don't see myself being one of these influencer boxers. So you see if so you boxed a YouTuber. Yeah, as the TikToker, TikToker, YouTuber, they had a boxing match. Yeah, did that three or four years ago? I had two months to treat myself ready for boxing, never boxed in my life. Right. And the only person on the card that has some experience is the person I'm fighting and has amateur. But listen, they're offering me half a million dollars. So. I'm getting your ring. Yeah, I did it. You're the best. But then we got in how bad scammed at the end. We got like we we got like a fraction of that. But it's after like we had to go get it after almost a year of fighting with lawyers and stuff, the money I did get, I wouldn't have done it. But here's the thing. I had agents at the time that were really saying, you're this you're not going to get paid this money. But I had best friends that were also in on the card with me and like, do it, do it, do it. They're interested in the fighting stuff. I'm on a whole new path over here. But the money seems good. You have friends telling your boys, your two best friends, do it with us, do it with us. But you weren't into peer pressure. The 500 K that I thought was getting. You don't think you were getting it? The guy told you you weren't getting it. Well, there's these other. But you didn't hear that. You're like that. I'm my friends were like, we're going to get this money. We're going to get this money. Also, I knew the person that was putting it on. So I was like, surely what's what's what's half a million bucks amongst friends. That's right. No, I was going to get just I was going to get the 500 K. That's going to be my purse. Right. Knowing what I know now. I'm like, what the. There's I wasn't going to get that. That's insane. Like that's. You were never going to get it. If you had a lawyer that went over the contract and you made it iron clad, they would have said, you know what, we're not going to use you. We're going to go in a different direction. Yeah. How much you had lawyers to. I'm so confused. Like how that didn't get written in the in my agents that. Because you're a good lawyer. Well, because because your agent was in control of a lawyer and agent and give a shit about you. Let me ask you a question. You going on weekends? No, no, you know, it's crazy. I've been approached with that. Uh-huh. I had I I'm not going to lie because like my presence online was this like kind of like attractive figure. So at the time I could have made probably five to ten mil from one if I did it like three years ago when I was approached a bunch. Dude, if someone's but that to me, I'd go, OK, let's go. Yeah, but see it again. But like I came out here for to be like a successful actor and musician. And the moment you start going into that that lane, that all goes out the window. Also, I'm working with like Coca Cola, McDonnell, like very brand friendly brands. Right. The moment like that's that's just selling myself out there for. Does that five to ten mil sound great? Of course. But like. I just feel like that's very. Do I have a girlfriend? No, not right now. I got out of something like a few months ago. Have you ever been with a girl on only fans? No, the answer is yes. You know, oh, have I? Oh, have I been with a girl like hooked up with a girl? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who is who is constantly on only fans? Yeah, but I wouldn't date one. Let's say you're with a girl, your your last girl. But you get one cheap pass. One person who if you ever run into them, that you got, you get one get out of jail free card. Nobody, so never cheat. Excellent. But. But you have an agreement. That's not the answer. He wants to know it's fine. I love it. That's great. OK, OK, hypothetically, I get this free card. OK, we're just going off hypothetically. No, there's got to be one. This is going to be annoying once I leave here. Once I leave here, there's going to be no, because I it's a trick question. What did your hand said? Jessica Alba Jessica Alba is I the right. Right. Yes, Jessica Alba. Because she's got that whole Hispanic thing going on. Yeah, yeah, there we go again. There it is. No. All right, man. Rant starts now. Brant, I feel like we've been ranting. No, no, no, no. This is the ramp. Oh, part of the whole. Oh, there's a segment of this. There is this segment. That's right. And you get to rant on anything that pisses you off. Like, so let me give an example. I once did a rant on those guys who ride the bikes. They ride the bikes. Yeah, you know, the bike riders with the shorts and the shoes. And they just always like get in front of you. And oh, my gosh, I run clubs. The run. The run clubs. Like I'm all four, you know, everyone running, you know, anti-aging. It's great. But like now it's like gone from like a group of 15 people to like a group of kids, you know, like a thousand people. Right. Running across the street. I'm sitting at the red light like. Like it takes like a solid five or ten minutes for all these people, those guys to go by. Yeah. Right. And it's just getting bigger and bigger. No, like it is. It's like have you. It's not slowing down. It's like they're like marathon prep. Yeah. No, no, no. It's like what just celebrities are like starting running groups. And that's why it's just also getting shut up. Huge. Yeah. No. Like, for instance, like Diplo does one Diplo, big DJ. And it's now gotten huge. Got a run club. I'm not saying that's not the one I ran into, but like they're all over. Like, I mean, New York, like just you see them all over now. I was at a thing where it was a marathon. My buddy trained really hard for a marathon. And he goes, you've got to come, dude. Yeah, I worked so hard for this. It's 26 miles. I'd be killing 26. Miles is to off. He lost to a guy in a banana suit. OK, the thing I was like, dude, I almost threw up in my own mouth. Mike, you just lost to a guy who ran 26 miles in a banana suit. And that's got to be hot. The banana. It's got to be hot. Dude, it was like nine feet high with the stem up the top and his legs doing this in the yellow. I mean, it was just like, oh, my God, dude. He just beat your ass. You watched the whole 26 miles. No, I was going to say that. It's like I showed up. I showed up for like an hour at the end because. But he's coming at the end towards the finish line. It's like. And I'm like, looking at my girlfriend at the time, I'm like, babe. He's neck and neck with the banana. I'm like, that banana is going to kick his ass. He's closing in. He can't hold off the banana. Also, the banana was trailing him for a little while. Yeah. What do you got? And then the banana just stuck that stem out and bam. You know, it's like, it's probably all on camera tools. Imagine coming across the finishing line with a banana beating you. That's your picture. How did I do? How did I do? How great was that? I looked at him and I go, you lost the banana guy. You lost to the banana guy. I was left. So stupid. That'd be awful. I would never even post that photo. Yeah, you know, it would be cool. I swear to God, I was thinking of seeing when I saw the banana guy. I was like, where's the rest of the fruit of the loom, guys? Where's the orange? Where's the straw? Yeah, where the grapes? Where's the grapes? Yeah, I couldn't find a fruit of the loom. Oh, my gosh. All right. And we'll listen. What are you doing next? Um, I just shot a movie that I was a lead in that comes out, I think, next month. I saw the movie that just came out. That's actually number one on 2B right now. 2B? Yeah. Which 2B? 2B. It's like a Netflix peacock. Like, gas allu. Because, like I said, acting and music is what I originally came out here for. And then I kind of just got a social media following halfway through. So you've got five out five million people on TikTok, right? Yeah. Five million people on TikTok. Yeah. Where can people reach you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on Instagram, my Instagram's. It's an AY TikTok, an A underscore Y. If you have a TikTok, my email is nai what? No, I'm just kidding. Good to get your phone number. Three. What's your address? My zip code, my social security is.

No. Oh, okay. So you get five balls. Okay. You throw them anywhere you want. You practice this a lot. I feel like I'm going to get a dust. I just got these. All right. All right. All right. Since I know I'm not like the best or let's start with. All right. Two. Oh, give it to me. I don't know if I should go for these. All right, I gotta go. I gotta go for good numbers. I gotta go for some points. I gotta get some points. No, let me just go for it. That counts. Oh, oh, wow. Oh, okay. I just got cheated on. No, you got four.
