Cleveland this year. We've recovered it for the last few years, and it's always a great. Time when we go. We haven't had a chance with the break that we took leading up to the show getting ready. To go on WOVU. Also shout out to our listeners who are listening to us locally on WOVU ninety five point nine FFM, Cleveland's urban alternative. But in the middle of all of that, we hadn't. Had a chance to air those interviews, and they were really good. They were really interesting, they were very insightful, and I think it's a perfect opportunity to bring those interviews to the fine listening audience today. So we are going to jump into our interviews at fan x phone. We're gonna do that right now. All right, we are here at Fanxpo Cleveland, and we are with one of the stars of the show One Piece on Netflix, Aiden Scott. Welcome, are you doing st Hello? I am the guy Aiden that has a really weird haircut at its blonde that it's short, and I am here in Cleveland speaking to you wonderful people. Hi. So, man, talk a little bit about your journey. How did you get started? When did you notice this is what you wanted to do? Well, I mean, I this is all I've been There's nothing else I really wanted to do as a kid, Like I've known that I wanted to do this. Since I was six years old. Yeah, which I'm you know, I guess really lucky. You know, I feel very lucky to have come to that realization. And I guess it was I was quite. Naughty in school. I was a naughty boy, you know, and my mom was like, oh my gosh, what are we gonna do? You know? So they took me to like soccer and I didn't like that. I didn't like anything, and she signed me up to a drama class and I was like, Okay, I'm in. I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. And so I have been. I'm twenty eight now I've been doing it, you know, my whole life, and yeah, that's my thing. Man, fantastic. So obviously I could tell with the accent. Are you UK in the UK? So my dad is from the UK. He's a He's a British guy that married a South African lady in South Africa. I am. I was born in South Africa and then I grew up on the border of Saudi Arabia. Oh wow that I'm a mixed match of a whole bunch of different accents and things and people and just everything everywhere. All at once. So talk a little bit about what that was like, man, growing up being exposed to so many different cultures and things like that. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what it was. I mean, my best my best friends were Indian, Filipino, Saudi, Arabian, Kuwaiti, Australian, British, American. I had American teachers, I had British teachers, and so I guess I never had my own kind of culture, like I'm not. I don't come from a I mean, you could argue this, but I don't come from a culture. I come from kind of a hot pot of a whole bunch of different cultures, and I guess, you know, like that's has made me feel quite strange in the world because I don't belong to a specific place. But it's all so quite cool because I get to kind of relate to a lot of different people. And yeah, that's that's the way that I really understand life and people is just a hot part of you know, different people. And do you think that that that that upbringing help to be able like as you go into the acting world, to be able to relate to different people and and understand different cultures and environments and stuff like that. Yeah, absolutely, I think that was. I think that's the main thing like I think that was. I mean, I can't answer as to whether I would be the same if I grew up in the US or the UK or in South Africa, but I definitely attribute a lot of what I do in the kind of work that I do, and also the kind of roles that I've been had the opportunity to play as being very kind of connected to to nothing, to like the nothingness of being a part of everything. So I guess I yeah, where I come from has a lot to do with who I am today as all right, Yes, absolutely absolutely. So looking here, I am actually curious which one. Of these characters, which one of these would you. Say is your most favorite one with your favorite part or favorite character, uh, that I've. Ever played or in the show I would that I've ever played. So I think this guy is pretty close. To Helmepo is a really fun character. He's a bit of a douchebag. I don't know if you've seen the show, but he's a big douchebag. If you ever watched the show, you'll be like, Okay, I see what he's talking about. But other than that, I one of my first jobs that I ever got was I played Teddy Roosevelt, which is really cool at like at twenty years old, and it came out of nowhere. They were shooting in South Africa, and I think that was a really cool part to play. But yeah, i'd say this guy that I'm that I'm playing right now, it was one of the coolest. But then again, I did a play last year, obviously not TV, a play where I played Mozart in a show called Amadaeus and he's kind of he was, but like not the Mozart that we know. He like like fart jokes and I don't know. Yeah, so that I got, I got a whole bunch of different ones that I love. Right. Yeah. So obviously you're on You're on One Piece, which is on Netflix. Talk about that, man, What is it like to be on that show on Netflix? And and all of that? Man, talk a little bit about So. I mean, if you've seen the show, you'll know that it's it's it's huge, not only in terms of how many people enjoy it, but like the actual scope of the show is huge. So like this, so it's based on an anime which is based on a manga and the worlds that they create are so unhuman, right, So there's a whole bunch of different islands, there are universes that are so big, and in the live action in the show that's on Netflix. They created those spaces, not. With CGI and not with LED kind of sound stages, but they built it. They built built ships, they built ships, they built the islands. They created all the costumes from scratch. So as soon as I walked onto the set, I was like, this is it's it's massive just in its scale. And then you have the cast as well. Who are just incredible, incredible actors that are playing the goofiest parts in television history, and somehow they make them seem like real people. Absolutely, So for people who don't know, let them know where where is the show shot at and all the good stuff. So the show is called One Piece. As I said, it's based on a. Japanese manga which is the highest grossing illustrated series of all time, so it surpasses Batman's Superman. It is the it's the biggest selling kind of comic ever. Netflix then bought the ip and have turned into a live action so that's the show that I'm in in season one, and it is shot in South Africa with cast from all around the world. The main guy is a stretchy rubber pirate called Monkey d Loofy, played by Us who's now twenty one years old. In Naki Gadoy out of Mexico. You have Tas Skyler from the UK, vincent Reagan from England, and you have a couple of South Africans in there as well, mcken you who's from Japan. Very very cool, fantastic man. So obviously it's a big show. People love this show. You have a huge cult like following people who followed the anime and also followed the live action. What is it like to be a part of something like that? Money, It's huge, I mean, it's I don't think. I don't think I could ever have dreamed of being a part of something like this. I was like, Okay, you know, I'm gonna do plays my whole life and maybe do a couple of TV things here and there, and somehow, in some alternate universe, which is this universe, at twenty four years old, I got to play this guy in a really big show. And now I'm in Cleveland saying hi to people that love the show. And I you know, you don't have the opportunity as an actor to really connect with your audience, but at the fan expo you do and you realize how much this means to a lot of people, myself included Robie. So how does it feel to go from being just a regular old guy to be in somebody big like this where like people are just like, oh my god, Aiden Scott. It's weird. Whenever people come up to the table like to come and say hi to me, I'm like, Hi, I'm you know, I Maiden. Nice to meet you, and they're like, I know you're Aiden, I know your whole life. And I'm like, oh my god. I keep forgetting that I'm here because people know who I am. I'm not here just to make friends. Like whenever I come to these things, I'm like, oh yeah, I get to make some friends. And then I'm like, oh wait a second. You guys have the show and and I guess I guess it is. It's a strange feeling. But but after this, I go back home to my girlfriend in a really sleepy suburb of. Cape Town, South Africa. You know, walk the Dog every Sunday go buy some groceries and you know that's so it's for me, it's important to have that level of flight. I'm also just a person and when I come to these things, I do try to get that across to people that come up to say hi to me, and I'm like, you know, I want to know about you. What's your life story? You know you're very humble. We love that. Yeah. So for people who are listening, who are interested in this space, interested in this industry, what advice would you give? Okay, so what would I want to hear if I was so in South Africa and especially in the border of Saudi Arabia where I was growing up, there was no world in which this would ever be possible for me, where it's like, Okay, you know, you've got to get to Hollywood, You've got to get to London to be able to even have a chance to do these things. And somehow, some. In some weird way, after ten years of being in the industry, it finally came across my desk and happened. And it was the right thing at the right time. And so the right thing will always find its way to you in whatever form that is, but you've also got to be prepared to meet it right. So if you want to be an actor, do short films with you know, the local college for free. I've done so many free things when I was first starting out. Do community theater. Shoot stuff on your iPhone. You want to be a director, okay, direct something. Get your iPhone out and get your two actor buddies. Do something. If you want to be a musician, make some music. Do the thing that you want to be. You're a director, become a director. You're an actor, call yourself an actor and just do whatever you can. You might be in the most rural part of South America, America. Or Europe or Australia. There are people that want to do what you do and your heart will always shine if you are sounds so cheesy, but if you're true to yourself and you enjoy what you do, it'll find a way. Let everybody know, man how to keep up with you following on social media all that good stuff. You can find me at Aiden Scott ninety six on Instagram. That's the only place that I exist other than being a real human. You can also just google the show. It's called One Piece and I pop up as one of the cast members. So yeah, I'd love to connect. Thank you so much man for spending some time with us. We really appreciate it. Thank you guys, thanks for popping over. All. Right, we are here at fan Expo, and we are with someone who once again was a part of all of our childhood. He was a participant in something legendary. He was Jim Henson, cartoonists for the Muppets. Guy, Gil Chris, welcome, how are you doing, sir, good, Good to see you. So let's jump into that. What was it like working on the Muppets English Gym? It was amazing, you know. I went from you know, being at the movies like everybody else in you know, in seventy eight and you know really seventy nine and watching the Muppet Movie two within six months, you know, writing and you know, auditioning to write and draw the Muppets for the whole world. And so, you know, as a first generation Muppet kid, you know, in love with you know, with Rolf the Dog and the earliest Muppets, being able to work with Jim was was more than a dream, you know. And what does it mean to you that so many people have such fond memories of the Muppets. It is an absolutely legendary show. What does that mean that it still has this legacy to this day. Well, it's the reason I'm out here is, you know, it's now been It occurred to me about ten years ago that there were now children because Jim has been gone thirty five years now, which doesn't seem like it, but it's thirty five years and I hadn't really realized it. But it was sort of. Around then where I realized that there were people that had grown up, gone to college and were now starting families that were not alive when Jim passed. And although you knew Elm and you knew Kernat and you know, and you know Miss Piggy and you know, but on Big Bird and but as important as Jim's characters are, the legacy truly is Jim's car and his philosophy behind all of that silliness and all of that unconditional love. And so that's what we celebrate and that's the spirit that we continue here at these conventions. Well, I would love to delve into that, talk about that talk about Jim Hinson's character for people who don't know and what the motivation was behind the work that he did. Well, well, of course, you always it's to entertain. Okay, we're very very silly. We're very very silly, and you know, and of course we're not. We always would just if we didn't have an ending, we'd blow something up, or a bigger monster would eat the entire you know, theater or something like that. So there's a ton of silliness and a lot of goofiness. But and and so it's always to entertain. But the way that we entertained, I feel, was with a big heart and and and a a weird flag, you know, of that united everyone that ever felt like they didn't belong anywhere, Well, you know, darn well, you belong with us. And that universe is extremely accepting, extremely loving, extremely silly. For crying out loud, we got a geek getting shot out of a cannon just because he wants to impress a chicken. So, you know, so whether you know, hey, you know, we're we're not judgmental. You know you're into penguins, you're into penguins, you know, you know that's good, it's good. You want to date a peanut butter sandwich, that's wonderful too. We have one of those, you know, And so you know, I think that everyone not only loves the the craziness and his aminess, you know, of the Muppets and the freedom that they represent, the lunacy that they represent, but also because of all of that, and they're all different and all different sizes and shapes and colors and everything, we love them because they remind us of us. Absolutely. Robin, Well, I almost I almost want to ask you who is your favorite character? But I don't know. I feel like I might know the answer. Could I be wrong? You don't know the answer? Okay, my favorite character is always the one that I'm bringing to life at that moment. It's the only character that matters. Wow, that was. A beautiful answer. That was beautiful. I love that. That's great. So let everybody know if there's any other projects you're working on or any other appearances, you'll be making stuff like that, and where people can keep up with the website all that good stuff. Well, I forget everything, so you know, but you know, godgilchrist dot com is a good place to start. And we have a huge, huge following and all like on Instagram and all of that fun stuff. Because I draw on there, and we show some of the old comic strips and a lot of the old bits and and a lot of Jim's history and stuff with God Godgigris dot com. The memoir comes out at the end of this year is the seventieth anniversary of the Muppet, So my memoir about me and Jim and what we did together comes out then. And there's a television show. We have a television show that's on MLB network called The Traveling Spaceship Show. And yeah, I'm the old Muppet guy, and I created a brand new Muppet. His name is Jax. He's an alien and he's the pilot of this this traveling spaceship that goes in between dimensions and has fun with baseball and stuff. And there's another young punk kid on that show playing the voice of the supercomputer that we feel might have some sort of a career in broadcasting. His name is Bob Costas. You might want to try to remember that. We think he's gonna do well. So I'm assuming you're a baseball fan. I am Team Socks Red Sox from you from Boston. I'm from New England. Originally I'm from Connecticut. Originally I'm from when they were bad in the sixties, you know, in the sixties. But yeah, the Red Sox have always been my team. And you know, and I'm not going to jinx us by saying it looks good this year, because you know, and you know and you know, and that's all about pitching, and that's all about pitching. That's all about But yeah, baseball, I love I love baseball, and the MLB collaboration was really sort of a given. One of the things that you that some folks know and some folks don't know, is that I've created many, many, many of the mascots and characters in minor league baseball than in other sports over all of these years. That's fantastic. I know. We were talking yesterday to Jerry, who's one of the people that run this thing, and he was talking about how when he met you, because he's a Yankees fan and you're a Red Sox fan, and I said, well, we're Cleveland or so we hate both the Yankees and the Red size So you both were good. Yeah, there you go, there you go. Yeah, but you know, but Tito did pretty good for you guys, Yes he did. Hey, you know, so you're you're welcome. You got Francona, You're welcome, You're welcome. Well, yeah, all I get is all I get is the red Sox hate. But oh did you like Francona? Yeah, I think you did. Yes, we did, Yes, we did. Thank you so much, sir for spending the time with us. We really appreciate it. Thank you. All right, we are here with someone who had a played an incredible role in a lot of our childhoods Voy, one of the voices of X Men, the animated series, George. But booza. How you doing, sir? Doing just great? Glad to be back in Cleveland. Absolutely so. Tell us a little bit about how your how you got started on this journey. When did you decide that this was When did you know that this was what you wanted to do? Well? When I was going to Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, I got conned. Into being in the senior. Class play at Lord Academy by my girlfriend at the time, and the play was called Oliver, and I played mister Bumble. And the minute I walked out on stage on opening night and saw the audience and got my first laugh, I knew that this is what I wanted to do for the rest. Of my life. That's fantastic. That's fantastic. So from there, how did you get into Did you start in voiceover work? Did that come later? Like? How did you go to that part of your journey? Voiceover work came later. I started off doing live theater. I did my apprenticeship right here at the Great Lake Shakespeare Festival. I went and did some graduate work at Kent State University. I got my equity card at Trumpet in the Land down in New York in New Philadelphia, Ohio, and then I got offered a touring job up in Canada, and I went up there and did that for a while, and then I started doing a bunch of plays up in Canada. And one of the actors that I was working with at the time was already doing voice work, and he suggested that I meet his agent, and. I got an agent. Doing voice and I auditioned for a couple of commercials and it took off from there, and then I started doing movies in about nineteen seventy six and television, and an actor really does everything. Anybody who Pigeon Nill holds himself and says, I only do this, it really limits what your career can potentially give you. I've been very lucky in that I've been able to do all facets of the entertainment industry, from voice work to live theater, to action movies, horror movies, you name it. Fantastic fantastic. So obviously the thing that touch us the most our childhood is X Men. You were the voice of Beast and X Men, the animated series. Talk a little bit about what that was like being a part of that, and especially something that has had such a legacy that goes on even to this day. Well, first of all, I was a fanboy myself because I read X Men comic books from when they came out back in nineteen sixty three. So when they. Gave us these sides for us to read for the audition, they tried to hide what the project's name was, so they called it Project X. So a lot of the guys didn't know what this Project X was going to be. I took one look at the dialogue and then went project X my foot. I said, this is X Men, and it blew my mind because here was. An opportunity to do something that as a kid, meant a lot to me reading the comic books and now I get to do a part in it and play beast of all these characters. So it was a mind blowing experience getting this part and having this much of an effect on people's lives as well. You know, the most that any actor can really hope for is that easy remembered for giving people a little bit of a good time, you know, watching comedy or whatever. But this actually touched people's lives. This meant something to people who were disillusioned, disadvantaged and being isolated or picked on, and they came home and they found refuge in our show. And as an actor, that means an awful lot that you had that kind of an. Effect on somebody. And I'm really grateful for all the fans because without them, we wouldn't. Be where we are today. And talk a little bit about that. We were just talking before the interview started about how so many people come up and say that you were part of their childhood and you raised them. And stuff like that. Here we are, you know, decades later, and people still have such a fond memory, not only just for X Men as a genre, but for the animated series in particular, the one that you worked on. So how does that make you feel that it has such a long lasting legacy that has spanned decades. Well, it's very gratifying for one thing, because you know that your work has lasted throughout all those years. And also the. World hasn't really gotten any better. And I think we're more pertinent today than we were back in the nineties. So I think we're doing some important work. Absolutely, absolutely, And so as we wind down here, one thing that we always like to share with people, especially when we have an opportunity to talk of talk to somewhat of your stature that has your accomplishments. For people who are listening who may want to enter in this field, they have the bug to what advice would you give. Him, Well, quite a lot. First of all, it is one of the hardest businesses to get into and even harder to survive over the long term. If you want to be an actor, start off doing live theater and as Larry would say, network meet as many people as you can. A lot of it is going to be luck being at the right place at the right time and reading for the right role and people seeing you. Start off doing live theater, because that'll give the basis on which you can put your entire career. And sometimes you get a chance to be seen by somebody who will say, hey, that guy's got talent, let's see what he can do in TV or film. The guy who plays or played Gambit used to sell insurance and he was doing amateur theater in a theater in London, Ontario, and one of the directors from Stratford the Shakespeare Festival saw him perform and said, this guy has got talent. And today you know him as not only Gambit, but the star of the TV series Heartland, which has been on for eighteen years. He was the co star of Kung Fu with David Carridine. He was the sheriff on The Good Witch, married to Catherine Beliso. It can happen. You can be discovered in amateur theater and have a career that will span decades. You know, I worked just as a normal working actor for so many years before X Men came along, and never thought that it would be what I leave behind as a legacy. So you never know, and you have to have that love of the industry because nine times out of ten you will be lucky if you are able to support yourself I think only about one percent of the act in the business are able to do just acting to make a living. Most everybody else has got to have a sideline and something to fall back on. So it is a very difficult business to get into and to stay in. But if you've got the love and the drive and the talent, then stick with it. Then sooner or later it'll happen. Jack Nicholson was in his forties before. He hit it. Absolutely. Thank you so much, Sarah, it's been a pleasure. We really appreciate it. Thanks for being fans, and God bless all of you. God bless you as well, sir. Stay tuned. We'll be right back with more of the Outlaws. Real talk crew conversations. We got the heat. This is the Outlass Radio Show. Welcome back, Welcome back. You're listening to the Outlaws, and we want to send a special shout out and thank you to our guests, uh from Fan Expo. We had a great time there. Now for this segment, we're just gonna have a little talk. Uh. Sometimes for longtime listeners of this show, you know, every once in a while we'll we'll do this. We'll have you know, a relationship topic, a relationship conversation. A lot of people are going through a lot of things. So I have a question for you, Robert. So we're not. We're not old, but we're not babies either, Like we're solidly in the adult like the grown up category, fortunately or unfortunately for us. I mean, it's kind of it depends on how you look at it. Very childish, very. But we are in the adult category. So for people, let's say, folks in their thirties, let's do that. Is it difficult in twenty twenty five. To find a. Real relationship if you're not trying to be on some trash. Yes, I definitely say yes, it is very hard because a lot of the times now, especially a lot of people and I think we might have covered something very similar, but it's been some time and I've said something like this is where everybody's hurt. Everybody's been hurt, everybody's been burnt and scolded, you know, whatever way you want. To you say that. So people got trust issues now, hurt people, hurt people. And I've said that part before and that's something that people commonly say because unfortunately that's what it is. So now, actually it's in the timeframe where a lot of people are not hurting one another as much, but more than not, they're like not looking for love. They're not even looking anymore. Everybody just wants to be single. That's that's more so what it is now. Everybody wants to be single or or I'll say this, so actually, Darvio, I oftentimes pay attention to a lot of these things. And you know, relationship topics is honestly like my strongest suit. So I pay attention to a lot of these things, whether it's you know, I pay attention to men, you know, on the social media, pay attention to women on social media and conversations and things like that. I pay attention to all of that. I'm a person, people watcher kind of thing. But now it's I just seen a video that somebody shared on their Instagram story, and it was saying that men are taking relationships more serious now because they you know, they're tired of look they don't want the women that are top not beautiful anymore. They're not looking at looks, they're looking at peace. A lot of men now are looking at peace instead of looks appearances. But my thought process when I seen this video is Okay, that's cool and I respect that. However, a lot of the times, and I'm not saying all all men, because I know all men are not you know, they're not all trash, hence you Dante, et cetera, et cetera. But a lot of the men out here already was playing their games because men don't take relationships serious right off the bat when they're coming into the field. So they want to play games and mess with this girl and mess with that girl, and use this girl for this, and use that girl for that, and things like that. So now men want a lot of the men want to take the thing serious, and a lot of the women are like, I don't even want to date. I don't even want to be in a relationship. I'm happy being single. So that's really what it is. So I would counter that, though with part of this, I would argue, and as you mentioned, I'm coming from a perspective of a. Guy who's not like that. I think that there are some women who are so used to men that are not serious that they don't know how to adjust to men that are. You're right, you ain't wrong on that. I'll give you that one. I think. Sometimes when you don't know how to move when you're dealing with somebody who is serious, who is not just a male but a man. Right, he's not on the same stuff that a lot of these dudes. That are on trash are. And I think sometimes for some women, like there's a number of things for some women that's intimidating because they've never seen it before. Some women have a hard time adjusting culturally with that. And sometimes like some women just don't know what that looks like, right, they haven't experienced that. And if that's what you want, you have to get adjusted to the fact that you're dealing with somebody who's serious. Because the stuff that men that are not serious, the way that they be own stuff, is not the way that serious men operate. Serious men are serious about being protectors, they're serious about being providers. They're serious about being in proximity with you, wanting to spend time with you, wanting to get to know and know you intimately as a person, not just to sleep with you. You know what I mean. And because admittedly there's a lot of men that are on trash, but if we're gonna be honest, there's a lot of women in order to but there's a lot of men that are on trash. And I think sometimes there are women who have had these bad experiences with men and they get adjusted to the way that those men behave and sometimes it's like I want something serious, Okay, Well when you get somebody who's serious. Do you know how to adjust to that? So I think that's the other side of it too. Oh yeah, that kind of. I mean, I guess so in. The the idea why you were talking is immediately because I can say I. Have been one of those girls where it's a thing called fight or flight. Yeah, and oftentimes it's like you you prepared to run away, you're prepared to step back, and it's not necessarily about the man per se. It's like, okay, kind of what you were just saying, the person, the girl don't know how to take it. She don't know whether or not if you know, he's on some bs or whatever whatever the case may be, or this is this is too good to be true kind of thing. Oftentimes that's usually the case. So that is very unfortunate. It's very unfortunate that it has to be that. And honestly, it's not even just that with women. It's a lot of the times it's men even though men don't speak on it. It's the same way with men, the opposite way where men do the fight or flight thing, or they hold back, they withhold their love. And you gotta you gotta jump through flame hoops to even attempt to even get their heart. Men, y'all gotta, y'all gotta just open a little bit. But I will say this, I will say this, and this is I mean, since we're having this therapy session on the air. Basically, I will say this. I'm somebody, as you know, I don't play games. I don't play with nobody's feelings. If I'm with you, I'm with you. If I'm interested in you, I'm interested in you. And that's what it is. You know what I'm saying. Period. I on no trash. I ain't never been on no trash. That's not who I am as a person, and I'm really not on no trash right now because i don't have the time for. It right so, but be that as it may. I admittedly, and I've said this before, I've said this publicly. I've talked about it in songs. I got trust issues, right, I got trust issues from some of the things that I've been through right. And so to your point about the men that make you jump through hoops or whatever. I'm not that guy. But what happens is I am someone who will open to you early, but if you make me nervous, then I close immediately. Prontoh, staying here. Listen, listen, Daria. That just might be a Capricorn thing. But because we're very open, we're very loving. We were hard on our sleep, but the moment did you do some f stuffs? Man? Listen and all that out the window. Well, that's the thing for me. Is like, like it makes if I don't feel like, if I don't feel certain, if I don't feel secure in the fact that we're going in the same direction, that's what makes me nervous. So I don't know if it's because I'm like pushing you know, you know, I'm pushing those forties or what, but like where you just officially reached that age and you're just like whatever, you know. I saw this and I've shared this meme before. I love this meme. It said dating after thirty is like are we doing this or not? I gotsked to. Do Listen, like, hello, are we getting married or not? What are we doing? Are we doing or not, like. Time is a ticken. Like for real, because think about it, like when you're dealing with somebody who is established, right, they either they're either at the place where they're gonna be or they're going in that direction. Like, hey, it can be beautiful for you. It could be beautiful for you because you can walk right in and it's like, yo, that's wrong. But it's like, hey, what are we doing right? Right? Because I mean, like at this point now I'm getting bored. Stop playing with me. Stop playing with me, because I will lose I will lose interest and focus on you just as quick as I got that interest in focus. You gotta you gotta, you know, step. Now you have been knowing to go somebody, So. I'm a little retired, but yes, because you're you've been known to ghost people. But for me, it's not it's not that I'll get bored. For me, it's I will I will walk. And you notice about me problem because you know I'm like this with my friends too. So if I'm like this with my friends, you know what I would be like with who I'm dating. Right, I will walk through fire with gasoline draws on for you, But don't waste my Time's deep. That's deep. Gasoline draws is crazy. Crazy, That's what I'm saying. I will walk through hell with gasoline draws on for you, but please don't waste my. Time, Darville. You know the thing is in in the world now, well, at least here in America. I don't know about other places, but you know, people don't like they don't like loyalty, they don't like somebody that's solid. That's usually the person that tends to get hurt the most or use the most. It's the craziest thing. It's like, it blows my mind. I've never been able to crack that code. But yeah, I think the issue is everybody been around here dealing with so much garbage for so long that. People are having a hard time knowing how to. Deal with real, knowing what real is, what it looks like, what it feels like, you know what I mean. All right, on that note, we are going to go to tea time with Roast. They tuned. You're listening to the Outlaws. I foh true, sir, out pray. Welcome back, welcome back and listening to the Outlaws. Make sure that you subscribe to the show on Apple podcasts, Spotify, iHeart or wherever you get your podcast. And if you listen to the show on Apple, please make sure you leave us a five star review and the comment is very important for the algorithm and for those of you who've already done so, thank you, oh so very much. And now's the time of the show that we like to call it Tea Time with Row. Turn it upation the latest to celebrity news and gossip. It's Tea Time with Row on the Outlaws Radio show. So listen, guys. So this I'm gonna say this often. So a lot of people want to get into the industry where, you know, whether it's in photography, videography, acting, modeling, radio, anything that you can think of that is in the media industry that really gets your face out there and going, uh, you know, celebrity status type of thing. A lot of people want the celebrity status, you know, the money that comes with it. Some of us just want the money. I mean, I can you know, I can just go with the money. But so today I actually would like to talk about Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox made a speech. Jamie Fox is an actor, but he is also an R and B singer. So Jamie Fox. He what he says is he states, quote unquote, he calls social media super dangerous and says fame isn't fun anymore. Be careful what you wish for. And I have often heard that from so many celebrities that say that where they even though they're still in the game, they're still in the game, but they say that because you don't get a real life, and on social media a lot of the times, you know, if they make the wrong move, even if they don't make the wrong move, heck, even ai anything, anything can literally ruin their life. Social media can do that. Back then, being a celebrity wasn't as rough from what I knew, especially growing up as a nineties kid. You know, you didn't have all Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. We didn't have all that. We came home from school and we. Was turned on MTV and all that, and we'd have to listen to music. And that's the only way to read those those J fourteen magazines, to even read up anything about a celebrity. But being a celebrity now in twenty twenty five, it is very much so dangerous if you really think about it, If you every time you turn around how many of these celebrities are in the news, Like literally one day to be one, they're going they're being accused of whatever. A week later not even here's another celebrity being accused of something similar or whatever the case may be. It's like, I don't know, I don't know if I'd be able to handle that. So a couple of things. One, he talked about the issue of social media and how social media is really what made like when he went on to kind of elaborate, he talked about how social media has really made things worse. Which I agree with. Social media is a success pool and I'll get to that in a second, but I would argue, and it's one of the things that I tell. You know a lot. I know a lot of young rappers in particular through my career and stuff like that, and I tell I advise them as often as I can, whether you're a rapper or doing anything of any prominence. Man, get you a family, get you a wife, get you a family, and take your butt home. Like that is how you can protect yourself from a lot of the foolishness that's out here. Like get a woman, don't cheat on your woman, get a family, and take your behind home. That's the best advice that. I can give celebrities or budding celebrities. And you know, Robin, we know a lot of them. Because we interview celebrities all the time. We know some of them personally, and that's to me, the best the best way forward is just almost like the segment we were talking about, the subject we were talking about in the last segment, be a serious person and protect your peace and protect your family's peace, and that's your job. That's how you kind of like your life ain't normal, but you can have as close to a normal life as possible if you have a solid family foundation and you protect it. Right. So there's that. Now the social media piece, and I think the social media piece is difficult, particularly for people who are in their late twenties to like fifties, because those of us that are in that age range didn't grow up. With this, right. So the people behind us, the gen zs, they grew up with it, you know what I mean. They grew up in this environment for better or worse, so they know how to how to deal with it. For those of us who are old enough to remember life before Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, you know, this stuff has changed the world, and it's a cesspool. I can't tell you how many. You know, you can call me a mid level influencer or whatever. I can't tell you, at my level, how many negative comments I've gotten, nasty comments, attack comments, hate comments, you know what I mean. When I started writing for Newsweek, my editor at the time, don't me don't read the comments, right, Like, whatever you do, don't read the comments. And of course, me being me, I would read the comments, right. I wouldn't respond, at least not on the article itself. There are times I would punch you in the mouth on social media, but not on the articles themselves. But yeah, I would read the comments. Man, I've had like, there are times I've had things go viral. And when you've had things that go viral, where you making posts that hit one hundred thousand, two three hundred. Thousand, a million views or whatever. When you have that level of virallity, I think is the word, you know, you get all kinds of stupid comments from stupid people. I've had to tell my mama, stay out the comments because you being there ready to fight with people. I was just about to go there too. I'm about to tell that story too, Like, but but I had to tell my mama, like, yo, stay out of the comments because. When they came for me on. We about to we about. To go there, I'm gonna introduce that because that's a that's another good one. That's a perfect example. Right. So yeah, like I said, like when people would come and take me, my mother would jump in the comments. Go ahead and people ahead and stay out the comments. But to to what you alluded to the time you went viral, there was people that was. Coming for you saying stupid stuff. Man. They was callowing me a bad mom, all kinds of things, and I'm just like so triggered by it. And then I'm just like, you know what, I have to like disconnect myself from you. Be ready to fight with every last one of them. I note go to each car. They daddy, Granny. It's hard. It is hard. It's definitely hard. Everybody. What did I tell you, Robert? What I told you stay out the comment and I did not. They say the curiosity kills the cat, and I swear that is so true. Yeah, I'm like, man, don't respond to these and your mama. Funny you said your mama was going in there that's that's like, that's my rod dog. Yes, I've had to Yes, I've had to tell her sometimes. And now she'll be like, if somebody say something crazy or whatever, she'd be. Like, let me respond, let me respond. I don't want to say let me let me at him. I'll be like, my chill, you. Always trying to take me and your mama. Yeah, he got his hands full with us. He got his hands for with us. Man, Listen, I'm like, yo, man, So yeah. But it's the beautiful thing about social media is that everyone has a voice. And the thing that sucks about social media is that everyone has a voice. Right, So not only do you get the good people, oh you may have never met or never heard of without social media, but you also get all. The dummies, the Karens, Yes, you get the Karens. You get the dummies, you get the racists, you get the sexists, you get all of the ignorant, all the isms, you get all of the stupidest. It's like, some of these people on social media are the stupidest people to. Ever exist on the planet. It's like, how are you, Like, You're so dumb that I don't know how you're able to operate a car by yourself, Like, how. Do you go to work every day being stupid? Some people, I'm telling you, some people really like I don't even know how their thought process works, the things that they say and think on a lot of things with celebrities, and I'm just like, where did you even come to that conclusion? Where did you even pull that from? I just yes, And that's why it is hard to because you deal with a lot of those ignorant comments, even a lot of celebrities. I have seen some big time celebrities and they'll say like they'll have to also avoid the comments because there's times where some of them, you know, some. People will say some really really. Hurtful things and it'll even get to those who have been in the industry since they were little. Oh yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It is tough. It is tough out there, is it is tough. Yeah, absolutely, Like it's it's it's insane, man. So it's just what it is. I mean, it's like when I there are some things like there's a couple of things I look at when I see a stupid combat as we close, as we get ready to wrap this up one how many followers do you have. First of all, I want to see if your troll. If you're a private account, it's less likely that I'm going. To respond to you, Like if you're anonymous account. If you have a low a very low amount of followers. It's also unlikely that I'm going to. Respond to you because I have twenty thousand followers, and what do I look like responding to someone with one hundred followers unless it's like the only time I will respond to someone with that level of discrepancy is when I want to make. An example out of them, Like, then I'll do it. Then response yes if it's a good Yeah, if it's a good one. There, those are fine. I ain't even talking about good responses. I'll if you got two followers and you say something good, I'll respond to it. But I'm talking about bad ones. If it's it's a. Stupid post, if you'll follow, if your follower uh count is low, I'm probably not going to respond to you unless I'm just trying to. Make it look at you, look at me, look at me. I'm just not like's if you got a hundred Like that's one of the first things I do when I see somebody say something stupid. I go to they page, and I look to see, first of all, if it's an anonymous page, because then you could be a troll, you could be a bot, you. Could be anything. So I go to see if it's an anonymous page. Then I look at their followers. If you got like and I twenty thousand followers, I'm not getting in a fight with you, and you got. A honey, got stressing out, got me stressing and mad. I'm not doing you. Ain't getting us out of our happy bubble. Exactly because because what happens is too they get to like be proud of the fact that they mixed it up with you because of the discrepancy in the accounts. I'm not doing that right Like my Twitter. My x account got over thirteen point eight million views in the last twelve months. I'm not. I'm not wasting my time with you unless I want. Unless you said something that was so egregious that I want to make an example out of you, then I'll do it and you'll still get blocked. But most of the time, Robin, I hit hi. If it's if it's a stupid comment from an anonymous account and a low follower count, I hit hot reply and block done. Love that for you, Love that for you and keep it pushing and period. That's that's on that. And that's the end of that. Sometimes that's what you gotta do. You gotta start blocking these people so it'd be like that. Let them know how to follow you. Ah. Yes, you can follow me on Instagram at Real Robin O'Malley. You can follow me on Facebook at Robin O'Malley, and you can actually follow me on TikTok as well. I've been posting on there a lot, so that's also Real Robin O'Malley. And you can follow me at ded King Been Everywhere. That's d T H E K I n G p I M one more time.
