He's not looking for these 00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:40.450 thirsty dudes that just want to come there and 00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:42.310 pour the damn dick out.

A lot of people think 00:05:07.649 --> 00:05:10.670 Splash Mocha started as Splash Note. It started 00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:14.029 as Splash Takeover. In one of the small rooms, 00:05:14.189 --> 00:05:18.209 we called the chocolate room. Okay, okay, okay. 00:05:19.029 --> 00:05:21.430 Well, I tell you what, it is a pleasure for you 00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:23.089 to be with us tonight because we definitely want 00:05:23.089 --> 00:05:27.189 to know your origin, your origin story, how you 00:05:27.189 --> 00:05:32.009 got into this, what made you get into this. You 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:34.370 know, where do you see the lifestyle going in 00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:37.600 the future? et cetera, et cetera. You know what 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.560 I mean? Normally, I love to ask questions, but 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.199 I know my nephew has got a hell of a lot of questions 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.860 to ask you along with Siren. So I'm going to 00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:49.019 turn it over to him to kick this party off. I'll 00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:51.560 jump in here and there. All right? Take over 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.699 there, Socrates. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Well, so 00:05:55.699 --> 00:06:00.139 this is our industry segment. So, you know, we're 00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:03.540 going to talk a lot about, you know, your professional 00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:07.339 life. and all of that, you know. But let's just 00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:09.920 start it from the beginning. What got you into 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.459 the lifestyle? And, you know, what's your story 00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:16.360 on, you know, how you got started into this whole 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.259 thing? So I would have to go back to adolescence. 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.060 You know, you have your little crew. And I was 00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:26.360 the pretty boy, you know. I was the pretty boy 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.240 with the jerry cup, you know. Or I'm wearing 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.660 the wave cap. And I was the one that always got 00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:36.079 the girls. So did you put Soul Glow in? Did you 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.660 use Soul Glow? Or which one did you use for the 00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:44.500 curl? It was actually Duke and S -Curl. S -Curl, 00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:52.000 that's what I used. So it was dry, but it looked 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.680 wet. I used Moxie for that. Y 'all don't know 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.279 nothing about Moxie. Oh my goodness. I can tell 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.480 you right now, I'm the reason my mom put plastic 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.149 on the furniture. Because I stained up some shit. 00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:09.389 There's different reasons we put plastic on our 00:07:09.389 --> 00:07:15.509 furniture now. So, D, you've always had that 00:07:15.509 --> 00:07:18.170 swag. In other words, you were born with it. 00:07:18.689 --> 00:07:24.350 Well, let me be honest, I wasn't. I always hung 00:07:24.350 --> 00:07:28.230 out with my older cousins. And, you know, it 00:07:28.230 --> 00:07:30.329 was like that pressure was from them, like, you 00:07:30.329 --> 00:07:34.879 know, coming up. You know, let's say 12, 13. 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.819 And they put that fear, oh, you're afraid of 00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:41.040 girls. So it was more like I had to prove that 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.680 I wasn't when I was. And when I stepped off that 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:50.939 porch, you couldn't get me back up there. I was 00:07:50.939 --> 00:07:55.939 timing somebody. So, yeah, that's how my journey 00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:57.939 started. So, you know, just hanging out with 00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:03.339 my other cousins. I will say this, and even though 00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:05.519 I'm in my 50s now, I actually told them this 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.800 recently because I dedicated the way I moved 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.759 to three of them. And I told all three, I've 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.660 mended my life and my lifestyle based off what 00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:16.300 I learned from them back then and so right now 00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:20.000 today. All three of my cousins take care of a 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.720 key component of the way I move, talk, walk, 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.659 and stand. It's from those three gentlemen. And 00:08:26.659 --> 00:08:29.199 that goes what I always say. I ain't trying to 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.920 cut you off, but that goes what I always say, 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.159 though, man. If you got some old school cats, 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.500 you know, to teach you or to be like a guide, 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.940 you can't go wrong. Oh, yeah. I mean, you can't 00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:44.100 go wrong. If you got old school cats, you know, 00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:46.480 because that's how I learned. You know what I 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.620 mean? I had the old school guys. You know, they 00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:52.080 taught me how to play ball. They taught me how 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.000 to do. every damn thing you know what i mean 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.700 a lot of a lot of stuff in the lifestyle you 00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:01.080 know what i'm saying that's what it was yep it 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.259 was a i would say you know it was a journey uh 00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:09.980 my father uh i'm pretty sure he was a player 00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:12.259 but he was one of the ones that i took here home 00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:16.940 you know absolutely and i always respect him 00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:20.870 for that because We never had no outside interruptions 00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:22.970 coming to our household and disrupting our household. 00:09:23.889 --> 00:09:27.049 And I remember him telling me a long time ago, 00:09:27.250 --> 00:09:31.730 he said, son, he said, if you could eat one meal 00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:33.490 for the rest of your life, what would it be? 00:09:34.049 --> 00:09:36.690 And I couldn't think of anything. He said, exactly. 00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:39.710 He said, that's how I see people. He said, so 00:09:39.710 --> 00:09:42.049 when you get married, he said, it's okay to give 00:09:42.049 --> 00:09:46.850 your heart. He said, but in a man's man's rules, 00:09:47.049 --> 00:09:49.919 he said. your dick is on the community as you 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.980 want it to be. I thought that was by far the 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:55.120 funniest thing ever, but he was big and serious. 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.279 That's that old school, baby. That's that old 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.360 school, I'm telling you. It was ignorant as hell, 00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:03.779 but, you know, I just remember those things, 00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:09.100 man. I took it to heart, you know. But, you know, 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.120 it was a journey, and I guess I would say coming 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:17.429 up and once I... I was very, very, like I said, 00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:19.809 the ladies' man, the pretty boy, but I also was 00:10:19.809 --> 00:10:22.710 a very, very, I was a sports figure as well. 00:10:22.950 --> 00:10:25.970 My parents was either the way, like, you're going 00:10:25.970 --> 00:10:29.490 to work a part -time job or play sports in school. 00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:33.830 So I stayed busy with sports, and, you know, 00:10:33.889 --> 00:10:37.210 that brought on the cheerleaders and so forth. 00:10:37.409 --> 00:10:41.450 You know, I can't just be one. I was that guy. 00:10:43.529 --> 00:10:47.230 I was that guy. Like I said, that for Dan. That 00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:51.590 for Dan. Not much has changed. Well, actually, 00:10:51.750 --> 00:10:54.470 yeah. I'd say the one thing that has changed 00:10:54.470 --> 00:10:57.330 is that I don't lie about it no more. And that's 00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:00.549 because you live this 24 -7 like we do. So it's 00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:06.190 like, why not let everybody know who I am? Well, 00:11:06.230 --> 00:11:10.210 I was a kid. I didn't give a damn. I was a kid. 00:11:10.309 --> 00:11:15.220 I didn't care. It was all fun. So I say once 00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:19.700 my journey really took off was, like I said, 00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:23.080 I was actually recovering in Mannheim, Germany 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:31.639 in 1995. And I went into a bar and I saw this 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.899 blonde. I'm 6 '3". This lady had to be at least 00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:38.960 6 '5". And she was gorgeous. And she was just, 00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:42.659 she was all about. black American men and GIs. 00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:47.279 And we go to this table and she have a drink, 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.779 a soda, whatever. And she asked me, do I want 00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:54.159 to go play? Well, she said, fuck. And she took 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.679 me to her husband who was doing coke on the table. 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.639 And he said, you want to fuck my wife? I said, 00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:06.059 oh, shit. It was about to go down the pipe. But 00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:08.990 he was so cool. He said, do it right here. And 00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:11.769 he spit the chair around, and she bent over and 00:12:11.769 --> 00:12:15.009 pulled her pants inside. I was like, shit. Fuck 00:12:15.009 --> 00:12:20.049 it. And it went down from there. Boy, I'm so 00:12:20.049 --> 00:12:23.029 glad I got somebody. That's my introduction right 00:12:23.029 --> 00:12:26.370 now. I'm so glad I got somebody, brother, that 00:12:26.370 --> 00:12:29.669 has been to Germany and has experience, wide 00:12:29.669 --> 00:12:32.570 experience. And when I hear somebody say pretty 00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:36.629 much the same things that I've said, you know 00:12:36.629 --> 00:12:38.990 what I'm saying? Mannheim, Germany. Lord have 00:12:38.990 --> 00:12:42.570 mercy. M -A -N -N -H -E -I -M. Lord have mercy. 00:12:42.730 --> 00:12:45.690 Mannheim, Germany. I was in both. We crazed in 00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:49.789 both. You were there in 95. I got there at the 00:12:49.789 --> 00:12:54.590 end of 95 and went straight to Bosnia because 00:12:54.590 --> 00:12:59.309 Bosnia kicked off in 96. So we missed each other. 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.980 We missed each other. Boy, I wish I'd have been 00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:05.519 there. My goodness, boy. Lord have mercy. We 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.059 hooked up in Mannheim and Heidelberg and Ramstein. 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.279 Boy, we had cheering around everywhere. Man, 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.919 let me hush. Keep going, son. Keep going. Keep 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:23.620 going, brother. Lord have mercy. So let's skip 00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:28.159 ahead to your journey with Splashin' Mocha. You're 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.320 doing the splash events, and there was a dark 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.919 room. When did you guys realize, you know, you 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.879 and the other owners, that you guys had something 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:45.860 here? So, the gentleman before me that was running 00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:50.399 the chocolate room, you know, didn't, and I'm 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.059 not trying to disrespect you guys, but they didn't 00:13:54.059 --> 00:14:01.600 have a... I guess I would say a backbone. They 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.799 let these couples mistreat them like novices 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.820 and fill -ins and just taboo. And once I became 00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:12.000 into the chocolate world, I brought in, you know, 00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:15.179 self -respect, etiquette, to where these people 00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:18.720 see me eating breakfast with a couple that, you 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.000 know, want to be seen with us, and I just changed 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:26.379 the whole dynamic. And so we went from, I'd say, 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.629 five guys. The next year, we went to, like, 15 00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:31.789 guys. The next year, we went to, like, 25 guys. 00:14:32.629 --> 00:14:34.690 And it was like, okay, we got something going 00:14:34.690 --> 00:14:40.690 on. And I don't want to say the organizers in 00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:43.669 the owner's name, but we did a birthday party 00:14:43.669 --> 00:14:50.149 for her. And I presented her this cake. And her 00:14:50.149 --> 00:14:52.149 husband was looking at me like, you better back 00:14:52.149 --> 00:14:55.070 the fuck up. But he's a great guy. You know, 00:14:55.090 --> 00:14:59.110 he was super cool. He was great. And we had a 00:14:59.110 --> 00:15:02.009 conversation and he was like, hey, we want to 00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:03.929 give you guys an opportunity to do your own thing. 00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:10.269 And we said, let's go. And we took off in Titansville, 00:15:10.330 --> 00:15:15.149 Florida. Now, if you're looking at money -wise, 00:15:16.009 --> 00:15:19.149 you would say we had a failure. But I call it 00:15:19.149 --> 00:15:22.389 a success rate because there was nothing stopping 00:15:22.389 --> 00:15:26.690 us from getting off the ground. The mark we made 00:15:26.690 --> 00:15:30.789 on the lifestyle to me was so big that we had 00:15:30.789 --> 00:15:34.509 more people coming back the next year. So I didn't 00:15:34.509 --> 00:15:36.690 consider it a failure because we did it the next 00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:42.429 year. And we had a great, you know, better. So 00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:44.370 we put our heads together and said, we have to 00:15:44.370 --> 00:15:46.529 take this to a different location. And we chose 00:15:46.529 --> 00:15:51.029 South Florida. And we got out to the Fort Lauderdale. 00:15:51.149 --> 00:15:55.070 And that's when we really took off. And how many 00:15:55.070 --> 00:15:58.669 people would you say are at that first one? In 00:15:58.669 --> 00:16:07.070 South Florida? Yes. Over maybe a thousand. Oh, 00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:12.929 wow. Wow. Yeah. That ain't no joke. Oh, yeah. 00:16:13.029 --> 00:16:15.730 We sold the whole hotel out. And plus we sold 00:16:15.730 --> 00:16:21.080 out every day and night pass we had. It was a, 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.659 it was a hell of a, it was well organized. It 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:30.360 was, trust me, it was unique. How many, how many 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:35.340 bulls did you invite for, do you remember? Okay, 00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:39.700 so when I came on to the staff, I was their right 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:43.639 -hand man. The position I'm in, there was a gentleman 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.519 before me that took it over because I worked 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.590 beside him. I was his right -hand man. So I would 00:16:49.590 --> 00:16:57.509 say we had maybe a hundred. Okay. That's a lot 00:16:57.509 --> 00:17:00.210 of work for them. A thousand people, a hundred 00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:05.690 bulls. It was working hard. Well, that's pretty 00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:10.190 much what it stayed, right? About a hundred bulls 00:17:10.190 --> 00:17:21.130 every year? It depends on the hotel. So y 'all 00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:24.809 went, y 'all pretty much went from a small room 00:17:24.809 --> 00:17:30.049 to what, within two years or three, I mean, two 00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:32.829 years tops selling out a whole, a whole hotel. 00:17:33.089 --> 00:17:39.630 Correct? Yes. Wow. Wow. And, and how did the 00:17:39.630 --> 00:17:42.519 word get out? did was this just great advertising 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.619 or was this a whole lot of like the the couples 00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:50.539 going back word of mouth you know and yeah we 00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:53.319 did it right about and we so we would pack up 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.799 in the car or a truck or just whatever minivans 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.319 and we would hit local sponsors from like we'll 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.000 go to strip clubs and just hit the dance floor 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.700 hit the stage until they kick us out we'll just 00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:09.660 throw clients everywhere and just be out go to 00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:13.460 the next one And we also was doing house parties 00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:15.740 in the middle of this also to get our name out 00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:19.920 there as well. So it was very, very, it was a, 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.700 it was pretty easy actually because we enjoyed 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:25.859 what we were doing. It didn't feel like work. 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:31.299 Well, it was easy. I love that you said it was 00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:33.539 easy, but as a businessman, I want to go back 00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:38.000 over two things. One, the average business takes 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.039 two years to be profitable. So the fact that 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.019 you were profitable, the first one, you're a 00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:47.880 smart businessman by looking at the people. Who 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.799 cares about the money? You're going to expect 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.180 to dump money into a business to get it going. 00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:56.380 And then secondly, as a promoter, now I've done 00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:59.900 everything in this industry except for lifestyle 00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:03.079 professional events. And I've been a part of 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.940 some and I've helped with some, but I've done 00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:09.269 promoting before and I know what it takes. And 00:19:09.269 --> 00:19:12.750 you guys did what it took. Because I know a lot 00:19:12.750 --> 00:19:14.750 of promoters that would not all jump in a van, 00:19:14.950 --> 00:19:17.869 hit up as many strip clubs, stay there and promote 00:19:17.869 --> 00:19:20.750 until they get kicked out. Like, that's serious 00:19:20.750 --> 00:19:25.250 business right there. So it goes back to my original 00:19:25.250 --> 00:19:27.589 question. And you answered it, but I'm going 00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:31.250 to dig a little deeper. When did you know that 00:19:31.250 --> 00:19:34.910 you had some magic sauce? Because when the first 00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:38.859 time I went. I was like, this is it. First, I 00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:41.440 had to pick up my wife's jaw, you know. Facts. 00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:47.180 And then I was like, this is home. And I didn't 00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:49.500 know it was home until like the third time. But 00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:51.500 when did you know there was some magic sauce 00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:57.380 here? Okay. Chocolate sauce. Let's see. I would 00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:02.480 say our very first South Florida because it was 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.089 very, very safe, you know. I mean. Yes, the couples 00:20:07.089 --> 00:20:09.750 come to have fun with the guys and the guys looking 00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:13.069 forward to the meeting. But it was so foreign 00:20:13.069 --> 00:20:16.609 that these couples wanted to know your journey. 00:20:16.750 --> 00:20:19.430 They wanted to have a conversation. You know, 00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:22.869 they wanted to know your life because they saw 00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:25.829 you more than the two of you. You know, they 00:20:25.829 --> 00:20:29.890 saw you as a potential friend. And that moment 00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:32.089 says, hey, Demetrius, come have breakfast with 00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:35.670 us. Hey, Demetrius, let's go eat dinner. But 00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.609 just have a conversation instead of, how big 00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:44.390 is your dick? I was like, oh, okay. And I started 00:20:44.390 --> 00:20:47.930 seeing that it wasn't just me. More of the general 00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:49.730 was getting the same responses and reactions. 00:20:50.329 --> 00:20:52.829 And right then, I knew we had something special. 00:20:53.150 --> 00:20:57.349 That we were starting to gain our value. Our 00:20:57.349 --> 00:21:01.470 respect. And let's focus on the marketer lifestyle 00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:05.150 community. I really love what you said earlier 00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:09.069 about that you changed the dynamic just by, you 00:21:09.069 --> 00:21:11.009 know, having that first breakfast with that couple 00:21:11.009 --> 00:21:15.670 and just being out in the public and just being 00:21:15.670 --> 00:21:19.230 recognized and respected by them. And I just 00:21:19.230 --> 00:21:21.869 really admire that is that was like the shift 00:21:21.869 --> 00:21:24.750 for you that started all of this. That's awesome. 00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:29.569 So I was like, you know, like I said, I had guys 00:21:29.569 --> 00:21:32.690 that were older than me. too much pressure out 00:21:32.690 --> 00:21:36.509 in the military. So I still had that go bottle, 00:21:36.690 --> 00:21:41.710 that energy to where you can't tell me, AD, that 00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:43.910 hot wife want to go, she wants to fuck you, so 00:21:43.910 --> 00:21:46.470 you got to go do it. I'm like, fuck you and fuck 00:21:46.470 --> 00:21:49.269 her. You go fuck your own wife. You know, I fuck 00:21:49.269 --> 00:21:52.430 when I want. I want to take my time. I want to 00:21:52.430 --> 00:21:54.690 have a conversation. I want to know your rules. 00:21:55.190 --> 00:21:57.470 I want to know your hard no's, your maybes, and 00:21:57.470 --> 00:22:00.259 your yeses. You know, because at the end of the 00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:03.579 day, we both have to enjoy this experience. So 00:22:03.579 --> 00:22:05.680 it's not like, hey, you get down and go fuck 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.720 my wife. I'm saying go fuck yourself. So when 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.440 they start saying that, out of that interview, 00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:13.660 they're demanding our respect, more guys follow 00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:18.380 suit. And that's the wave I like. They say you're 00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.640 gentle about any and everything before they see 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:25.240 what's in your pants. So let me ask you something. 00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:29.819 Let me ask you this, brother, because I remember 00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:33.240 my first splash. And of course, it was Atlanta. 00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:39.700 And I called you. You called me back. You called 00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:43.960 me back. And we talked. And I kept saying, I 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:47.240 love the way his brother is vetting his bulls. 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:50.539 Because now that you flipped the script on me. 00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.099 You know what I mean? You were like, tell me, 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.460 tell me why you want to attend this event. You 00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:59.180 know what I'm saying? And I was like, okay, he's, 00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:02.920 he's, he's, he's looking for what I, what I always 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.039 say, quality gentlemen to come to his event. 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.900 He's not looking for these thirsty dudes that 00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:10.440 just want to come down and pull the damn dick 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.380 out. We all know that's going to happen. If you, 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.480 if you have what it takes to make it happen. 00:23:16.009 --> 00:23:20.390 But so what I'm saying is what, or asking, what 00:23:20.390 --> 00:23:23.809 are you looking for when you talk to brothers? 00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:26.049 You know what I'm saying? Before you say, okay, 00:23:26.190 --> 00:23:28.369 yeah, I know you're good to come splash. What 00:23:28.369 --> 00:23:32.490 are you looking for? Well, I'm going to go back 00:23:32.490 --> 00:23:34.269 to an individual. I'm going to go back to you, 00:23:34.349 --> 00:23:38.089 that conversation we had. The conversation you 00:23:38.089 --> 00:23:41.509 and I had, it was so, it was so mixed to where 00:23:41.509 --> 00:23:45.509 I felt like we crossed paths. So when I asked 00:23:45.509 --> 00:23:49.150 you that, because you shared your journey briefly, 00:23:49.269 --> 00:23:50.970 and I said, okay, this is a guy that's experienced. 00:23:51.250 --> 00:23:54.710 Like, this guy is in the know of the know. So 00:23:54.710 --> 00:23:58.769 when I asked you, my eyes flashed. It was like, 00:23:58.869 --> 00:24:03.609 okay, like, you don't just want a team. You got 00:24:03.609 --> 00:24:06.029 something to bring besides your dick. You know, 00:24:06.190 --> 00:24:13.099 I saw the substance. I saw the potential. You 00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:15.359 brought more questions. From how that comes to 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.420 you, I just went more and more in bed with the 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:21.380 guys I started dating. Again, like, I want to 00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:25.519 see that you want to come long -term. You want 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.039 to make a mark on the brotherhood. You know, 00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:31.059 I tell the guys all the time, this is not a fucking 00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:33.759 race. This is a marathon. But before you think 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:35.500 of enjoying yourself with the women and ladies, 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.839 embrace the brotherhood. take a step back and 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.299 look at the beauty of seeing 150 guys together 00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:43.680 in unison and in mere replacement of what we 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:47.500 stand for and embrace that. See that these guys 00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:49.079 are going to hold you up and keep you up and 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.779 will not let you fall. Know that you're a king 00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:53.880 amongst kings, but if you can't wear that fucking 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.160 crown, give me my crown back, hit the door, and 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.539 I wish you a good journey. You know, I'm going 00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:02.319 to wish you well. But I want you to know that 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.799 I'm going to praise you. I'm going to bring your 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.769 self -esteem up. But if you respond to me in 00:25:07.769 --> 00:25:11.869 an inkling of negativity, hey, conversation's 00:25:11.869 --> 00:25:13.950 over. And I was just reaching to you. Okay, my 00:25:13.950 --> 00:25:16.829 brother, I don't think my brain is for you, and 00:25:16.829 --> 00:25:19.029 I don't think you're perfectly fit for us. So 00:25:19.029 --> 00:25:21.309 I wish you well. The functions are out there 00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:24.910 for you. You're free to explore, but it won't 00:25:24.910 --> 00:25:29.430 be a splash. Outstanding, outstanding. And when 00:25:29.430 --> 00:25:32.930 I got to that very first splash and I saw you 00:25:32.930 --> 00:25:36.369 and Mocha, And I've told this story 50 million 00:25:36.369 --> 00:25:39.109 times. I'm standing there. I'm standing there. 00:25:39.369 --> 00:25:42.130 You know what I mean? And here I am, you know, 00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:45.690 at that time. At that time, I was still law enforcement. 00:25:46.089 --> 00:25:49.910 And I'm standing there, and I see you and Mocha. 00:25:50.069 --> 00:25:53.329 And all of a sudden, you two turn towards me 00:25:53.329 --> 00:25:55.930 at the same time and start walking my way. And, 00:25:56.009 --> 00:25:58.329 brother, it takes a lot to, like, make me, like, 00:25:58.329 --> 00:26:01.109 say, damn. You know, like, oh, shit. But, hell, 00:26:01.170 --> 00:26:03.640 I went for my eye. Turned and went for my damn 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:08.680 gun and forgot that she was in. I got it. That 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:15.140 was the it factor that the two of you had. You 00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:16.480 know what I'm saying? So I'm saying to myself, 00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:19.819 okay, if both don't own this, one of them have 00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:22.740 to be the owner of Splash. You know what I'm 00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:27.319 saying? That's just the demeanor, the aura, the 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:31.480 charisma that you guys have. And like I said, 00:26:31.579 --> 00:26:35.680 when you're there, this last flash, I was just 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.319 looking at how you just, dude, you cased a room 00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:41.099 just like I cased a room. You know what I mean? 00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:43.440 Even though I know you're working, but you cased 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.579 a room and it's like, okay, everybody sees me. 00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:49.039 I'm going to go sit right here and just chill 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.180 and make sure everybody is having a great time. 00:26:52.509 --> 00:26:55.509 you make the couples feel so welcome and and 00:26:55.509 --> 00:26:59.170 not only the couples but you you make sure that 00:26:59.170 --> 00:27:00.990 you look after the bulls you know i mean you 00:27:00.990 --> 00:27:03.369 make sure the bulls are having a great time you're 00:27:03.369 --> 00:27:06.490 constantly like you know approaching us you know 00:27:06.490 --> 00:27:08.490 i mean to give you know to show us love make 00:27:08.490 --> 00:27:12.230 sure that we are are not um uh how do i say it 00:27:12.230 --> 00:27:14.250 nervous or anything you know because some of 00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:17.349 the guys it being their first blast is very very 00:27:17.349 --> 00:27:20.069 overwhelming It's very overwhelming. But here 00:27:20.069 --> 00:27:22.509 again, though, you make the guys feel at home, 00:27:22.609 --> 00:27:25.910 and you keep stressing brotherhood, brotherhood, 00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:28.529 brotherhood. And that's what made me feel comfortable 00:27:28.529 --> 00:27:31.930 at my first splash. And I knew, I was like, I 00:27:31.930 --> 00:27:33.869 might not make all of them, but I'm going to 00:27:33.869 --> 00:27:37.490 damn sure come to damn ATL every time. Because, 00:27:37.569 --> 00:27:41.730 you know, I mean, it's just a special venue, 00:27:42.109 --> 00:27:45.230 even though we've now changed. But I don't know, 00:27:45.289 --> 00:27:49.579 it's just a special venue. in georgia and it's 00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:52.339 all because of how you are you know with the 00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:55.480 people and uh like i said i thought you were 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.740 the damn owner i really i thought you would own 00:27:57.740 --> 00:28:03.220 a splash so you know i mean where do you think 00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:07.079 where do you think this is going dimitri i mean 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.480 do you think we're we're like evolved like this 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.339 is evolving you know this lifestyle is evolved 00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:15.119 and here again i hate to say the word lifestyle 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:17.680 you know because we live this life to the fullest 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.279 do you think this life that we live is like evolving 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:25.160 uh more people are getting into it um or more 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:26.680 do you think more people are like coming out 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.259 of the shell saying that you know hey i don't 00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:32.299 care if people know etc etc i mean what do you 00:28:32.299 --> 00:28:36.319 think about that uh well it is exactly evolving 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:41.059 you know it's very commercial now pretty much 00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:43.980 in any major city and very, very low key commercial 00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:47.980 amongst communities. If you go back to the military 00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:50.900 when they had the hats, if you know what the 00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:53.940 hats are, I always go back to the hats, to how 00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:57.539 secret they were, to how we do a convincing for 00:28:57.539 --> 00:29:02.839 women that wear the hats. So yes, it's such an 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.559 evolution. But I'm going to take a splash, welcome 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:33.089 to the stars. Absolutely. Do you see yourself, 00:29:33.289 --> 00:29:36.799 do you see yourself like myself evolving? Uh, 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.640 now that we are older, you know what I'm saying? 00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:44.839 Do you, do you, um, foresee like teaching the 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:46.980 younger guys, you know what I'm saying? How to 00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:50.599 be what you are now? Uh, wait, yes, because I 00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:54.319 was told the guy is a younger gentleman. I said, 00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:56.180 the moment you think you're married, that's the 00:29:56.180 --> 00:30:01.420 moment you become a fucking idiot. I said, you 00:30:01.420 --> 00:30:03.160 gotta always keep your mouth open to learning 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:05.579 because again, it's always going to be an evolution. 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.799 Because they're going to be that young gentleman 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.359 that you're teaching right now. At some point, 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.160 that young boy is going to have to teach you 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.079 some things or two because it's going to be his 00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.420 time. And if you want to stay in the game when 00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:21.759 it's his time, you're going to have to learn 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.500 and know their dynamics, their way, his rules 00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:29.019 and regulations. So, yes, it's going to evolve. 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.880 It's just human nature. It's human nature that 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.349 is going to evolve. And I think misinformation 00:30:40.349 --> 00:30:45.849 is what will slow it down. Misinformation and 00:30:45.849 --> 00:30:48.789 misunderstood people that come in and think they 00:30:48.789 --> 00:30:51.490 know everything. Like, I always tell people, 00:30:51.609 --> 00:30:53.730 I don't know everything. I'm still learning. 00:30:55.150 --> 00:30:59.410 Most of my responses will be opinion -based or 00:30:59.410 --> 00:31:02.730 based off my teachings, my learnings, and my 00:31:02.730 --> 00:31:07.539 experience. But, yeah, I'm very, very humbled 00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:13.819 to say I'm still learning. Absolutely. Absolutely. 00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:20.299 Socrates, Siren, y 'all, by all means, shoot 00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:22.839 away with your questions. I know you got a lot. 00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:28.440 Well, oh, yeah, you know me. So one of my favorite 00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.200 things, so, you know, I think I've talked about 00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:35.309 this on, I think it was. I'm not sure if it's 00:31:35.309 --> 00:31:40.890 O -Faces or Keys and Inklets. But when I first 00:31:40.890 --> 00:31:44.809 went to Splash, I had a lot of misunderstandings 00:31:44.809 --> 00:31:47.750 of the way it works. And I thought it was going 00:31:47.750 --> 00:31:52.329 to be a lot of non -quality blend. And I was 00:31:52.329 --> 00:31:56.230 very impressed, very impressed by the gentlemen 00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:58.329 that I've met. And some of these people are now 00:31:58.329 --> 00:32:02.970 my business partners, my best friends, my brothers. 00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:06.920 One of the things I loved is the mandatory class 00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.359 that the single men have to attend. So I have 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:13.900 several questions about it. One, was that always 00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:16.980 something you guys did? And if not, when did 00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:18.660 you realize it was something you needed to do? 00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:38.220 His dating process was completely different than 00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:42.579 mine. So we always brought in guys that I didn't 00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:46.500 feel should have been there. So I would go back 00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:48.619 and, like I said, I was his right -hand man. 00:32:48.660 --> 00:32:51.460 I was giving him some respect. You know, I never 00:32:51.460 --> 00:32:53.299 disagreed with him in the opening or in public, 00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:57.720 but we always had our specs behind us. So to 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.579 make sure things were going in the right direction. 00:33:01.309 --> 00:33:03.769 When he say his little speech, I will go back 00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:07.069 and add more to it. And when God would disrespect 00:33:07.069 --> 00:33:10.130 it or ignore it, I just kick the fuck out. I 00:33:10.130 --> 00:33:12.849 made examples out of it. Like, I don't do strike 00:33:12.849 --> 00:33:17.069 two or strike three. So these rules that we put 00:33:17.069 --> 00:33:20.089 in place, this machine, it only takes one fool 00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:23.230 to destroy for us. And we can't take that risk. 00:33:23.990 --> 00:33:29.130 We just can't, you know. I don't want to raise 00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:32.420 him to this, but... In the lifestyle community, 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.380 being first a single man, trying to go through 00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:38.279 doors in the lifestyle, it was hard as fuck. 00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:41.700 And then being a single black guy, it made it 00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:43.440 even harder. So you had two strikes when you 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.079 walked through that door. So when you come into 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:48.240 Splash, I'm letting you know you will have no 00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:52.059 strikes, but I grant you only one. But it's preventable. 00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:54.759 Just don't fuck up the rules that they put before 00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.759 you. That's it. The rules are that cut and dry 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:03.500 and that simple. You know, it's a term called 00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:07.259 KISS, keep it simple, stupid. I love that phrase. 00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:11.420 I use it quite frequently. Well, United States, 00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.079 the United States military. Yes, exactly, exactly. 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.760 And I made sure whatever I spoke in my meetings 00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:22.380 and my mandatory meetings, I kept it simple, 00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:26.260 stupid. Follow these rules, you will go so far 00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:28.159 within the livestock community as well as splash 00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.960 smoker. That door will remain open for you. But 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:36.500 if you break that one rule, I don't have no reason 00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:37.980 to keep you there because it doesn't mean you 00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:41.260 can break another one. Or somebody going to mimic 00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:43.579 what you're doing and do the same thing. So no, 00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:45.820 I'm going to get rid of that cancer before it 00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:53.179 spreads. I love it. that second meeting that 00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:55.480 we started doing the mandatory meeting because 00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.280 we had to put these rules in place. Yeah, that's 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.019 dope. In the meeting, so it wasn't until recently, 00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:05.579 and I thought they were going to ask me this 00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:07.880 sooner. It wasn't until recently until one of 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.039 the staff came to me and said, Socrates, you're 00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.000 married. You don't have to go. Why do you go 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.559 every single time? And I was like, one, I love 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:24.079 everything about Splash. So I like to attend 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:28.159 everything. And two, I learn a lot. And one of 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.960 the biggest things I appreciated is the staff 00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:38.719 gets up and says basics. Here's the rules. Here's 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:41.099 some of the fundamentals. But the best thing 00:35:41.099 --> 00:35:44.119 is that the veterans get up and say, now look 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.500 here, youngsters. Look here, you knuckleheads. 00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.039 Get your shit together. Don't do this. You know, 00:35:51.059 --> 00:35:53.679 do that. One of the guys got up and said, hey, 00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:56.539 you know, instead of washing your balls in between, 00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:58.880 put a little bit of lemon juice on it. You know, 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.840 that'll help. And I was like, that's pretty dope. 00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:08.079 I'll add that to the acting list. And this brother 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:11.039 is, you know, he's got, you know, to me, brother's 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:16.400 a solid dude. And so my question to you is, when 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:22.059 did you guys learn? Or when did it become obvious 00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:25.860 that, you know, the people coming love it so 00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:30.179 much that they want to get up and, you know, 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.559 really be a part of keeping things in line? Did 00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.460 you guys design that or that that just happened 00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:46.590 naturally? Well, my question is, you know. When 00:36:46.590 --> 00:36:49.650 did you guys say, or did you guys say, hey, we 00:36:49.650 --> 00:36:51.710 really want the people coming, the veterans, 00:36:51.829 --> 00:36:53.789 the guys that we know and trust to get up here 00:36:53.789 --> 00:36:57.269 and also give some advice? Or did it just organically 00:36:57.269 --> 00:36:59.250 happen that brothers started standing up and 00:36:59.250 --> 00:37:03.429 saying, hey, you know, get your act together 00:37:03.429 --> 00:37:05.909 here. Try this. Don't do this. Make sure we do 00:37:05.909 --> 00:37:08.409 that. Things like Shot Clock. I was like, man, 00:37:08.610 --> 00:37:11.409 Shot Clock was a great piece of advice. You know, 00:37:11.429 --> 00:37:14.889 things like that. That was very, very funny. 00:37:15.070 --> 00:37:18.090 So I would get a lot of guys that would come 00:37:18.090 --> 00:37:26.530 to me and complain, right? And so I go, are you 00:37:26.530 --> 00:37:30.489 afraid to call that brother out that made that 00:37:30.489 --> 00:37:33.809 infraction? He'd go, oh, yeah, I'm not. I go, 00:37:33.849 --> 00:37:35.309 okay, well, I want you to tell another hundred 00:37:35.309 --> 00:37:38.289 guys, and I will put them on the spot. I want 00:37:38.289 --> 00:37:41.139 you to be able to be comfortable. to get your 00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:43.380 word across to your fellow brothers. You're not 00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:46.519 telling me anything wrong to disrespect them. 00:37:47.619 --> 00:37:49.820 I said it in the beginning. You're trying to 00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:53.219 hold these brothers accountable. And I want you 00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:55.480 to be vocal, and I want you to not be afraid 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.179 to be vocal. For God's sake, I said it over and 00:37:58.179 --> 00:38:00.199 over again. These are your fucking brothers. 00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:03.219 Yeah, you're not going to like it, but you're 00:38:03.219 --> 00:38:05.000 going to respect it because at the end of the 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.659 day, it's to keep you up. Like I said, we're 00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:10.059 building you up to keep you up. Everything is 00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:11.559 not going to be peach and cream that come out 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:15.900 of our mouth. It's not. So I give everybody, 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.039 hey, if you got something that's going to make 00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:21.019 Splash Smoker better, I will step aside and give 00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:23.820 you five minutes to talk. And on top of that, 00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:26.940 I figure out something, like you said, hey, you're 00:38:26.940 --> 00:38:29.579 a husband. I will tell the husbands, hey, come 00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:32.159 into these meetings. I want you to see what I 00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:34.780 share with these guys so your wife can have a 00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:39.369 better experience. I also want you to know that 00:38:39.369 --> 00:38:41.909 that brother wants also to have a great experience 00:38:41.909 --> 00:38:44.269 as well. So don't think he's just one -sided. 00:38:45.389 --> 00:38:49.769 I want you to know that it's just not, these 00:38:49.769 --> 00:38:53.409 are not just bodies. These are gentlemen with 00:38:53.409 --> 00:38:56.389 great merit of character. You know, they got 00:38:56.389 --> 00:38:58.309 all walks of life, blue -collar, white -collar, 00:38:58.369 --> 00:39:01.670 military, celebrities. They all in there, but 00:39:01.670 --> 00:39:03.809 they're all treated equally and with respect. 00:39:06.030 --> 00:39:08.250 So if you got something that you got to say is 00:39:08.250 --> 00:39:12.190 going to make the class staff better moving forward, 00:39:12.409 --> 00:39:16.170 hey, I have no problem stepping aside. I give 00:39:16.170 --> 00:39:20.989 that floor to anybody. You just have to have 00:39:20.989 --> 00:39:23.570 some substance. Have you ever thought about having 00:39:23.570 --> 00:39:26.750 a class for the ladies? Because there's some 00:39:26.750 --> 00:39:30.010 things I'd like to advise the ladies on. You 00:39:30.010 --> 00:39:32.650 know, Brian, a couple of things I'm talking about. 00:39:35.409 --> 00:39:41.269 So we used to have a ladies group. And let's 00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:44.849 put it this way. We disbanded them because it 00:39:44.849 --> 00:39:47.730 was becoming too much of a problem to where they 00:39:47.730 --> 00:39:50.750 held on to that title, Unicorn. And I had to 00:39:50.750 --> 00:39:52.809 let them know that Spanish smoking is a hot, 00:39:52.829 --> 00:39:58.210 wise convention. You being a unicorn, our platform 00:39:58.210 --> 00:40:01.809 is all built and designed for the single man. 00:40:03.389 --> 00:40:06.349 Not for you. I know you get the open door and 00:40:06.349 --> 00:40:08.289 other establishments and other places, other 00:40:08.289 --> 00:40:11.849 parties. But here, you have to follow the rules 00:40:11.849 --> 00:40:14.929 and follow the lines like everybody else. And 00:40:14.929 --> 00:40:17.289 if you can't, there's a place for you outside 00:40:17.289 --> 00:40:19.269 of Splashbowl. Well, no, I'm not. So you didn't 00:40:19.269 --> 00:40:21.750 want to go by my rules? Yeah. I'm not talking 00:40:21.750 --> 00:40:24.530 about single women in particular. I'm talking 00:40:24.530 --> 00:40:29.449 about all the women. The wives. Two. Because 00:40:29.449 --> 00:40:35.820 there's a few things. I wouldn't mind. So I just 00:40:35.820 --> 00:40:38.139 try to do that in my ladies group. You know, 00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:40.739 I have the Telegram group for my podcast. And 00:40:40.739 --> 00:40:44.000 so in that group, we talk about some things and 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.400 we kind of do a after splash, after action report, 00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:54.000 uncle, and talk about a few things that should 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.699 be better and how ladies, because there's a lot 00:40:56.699 --> 00:41:00.880 of ladies that talk about, you know, they don't. 00:41:01.130 --> 00:41:04.730 know how to approach if a man is in a couple 00:41:04.730 --> 00:41:08.429 or how to know he's in a couple or you know different 00:41:08.429 --> 00:41:11.809 things like that so you know me and mrs mocha 00:41:11.809 --> 00:41:15.010 have been able to talk in that group you know 00:41:15.010 --> 00:41:19.090 coming from stag vixen point of view and having 00:41:19.090 --> 00:41:22.550 husbands who are popular married bulls and being 00:41:22.550 --> 00:41:25.510 able to you know just give them some food for 00:41:25.510 --> 00:41:28.829 thought on different ways of approaching and 00:41:28.829 --> 00:41:32.400 just the respect that can go, you know, for, 00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:34.300 you know, we want to respect everyone that attends 00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:38.760 Splash Mocha, but just the respect that, you 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.480 know, as the wife is helpful in that dynamic. 00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:44.619 So, cause a lot of ladies just, you know, they 00:41:44.619 --> 00:41:46.500 just don't know and they're afraid to ask. So 00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:49.800 I was just curious if there was ever going to 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.500 be something for the ladies, but if there's not, 00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:54.480 we'll just keep doing it. We'll be doing it on 00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:59.780 the side here. I mean, I'm not sure, but what 00:41:59.780 --> 00:42:03.269 we always, kept kept an open door about was uh 00:42:03.269 --> 00:42:07.010 the podcasting because first of all it's it's 00:42:07.010 --> 00:42:09.929 a great experience to do something live at splash 00:42:09.929 --> 00:42:13.170 and uh things like what you and the old faces 00:42:13.170 --> 00:42:18.449 does also uh he's an anchor like you are give 00:42:18.449 --> 00:42:20.809 them also information out to the conference they 00:42:20.809 --> 00:42:24.130 want to have a q a you know we also have when 00:42:24.130 --> 00:42:27.650 you do your podcast live at splash you also have 00:42:27.650 --> 00:42:30.670 an audience that's being recorded and documented 00:42:30.670 --> 00:42:34.409 with their Q &A as well. So we also let that 00:42:34.409 --> 00:42:37.769 be a distinction of what helps us also with our 00:42:37.769 --> 00:42:45.090 rules and regulations. I like it. So... Yes. 00:42:46.789 --> 00:42:52.030 Yeah, so... I want to get one more thing back 00:42:52.030 --> 00:42:59.619 to the men's group. Have you...

Have you seen that 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:18.119 before? I would imagine that would be super cool 00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:26.570 to see. Yes, it is. Let me share a story that 00:43:26.570 --> 00:43:31.730 just happened. Because I told these guys I'm 00:43:31.730 --> 00:43:34.769 going to share this story.

So now let's continue the conversation. 00:49:13.900 --> 00:49:16.900 And we had our conversation. Man, that's all 00:49:16.900 --> 00:49:21.380 right. That's all right. That was all right. 00:49:21.460 --> 00:49:27.780 Those lucky ladies. Got a fresh one. I want people 00:49:27.780 --> 00:49:34.059 to know. I'm sorry. No, no, go ahead. No, I want 00:49:34.059 --> 00:49:41.420 people to know, like, I would give anybody, almost 00:49:41.420 --> 00:49:44.219 anybody, an opportunity if they can get past 00:49:44.219 --> 00:49:47.460 my conversation. because I know how I feel to 00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:49.420 have a door closed on you. I know how I feel 00:49:49.420 --> 00:49:52.559 for people to tell you no. I know how that feels. 00:49:52.739 --> 00:49:57.039 I know. So to put a brand together that's all 00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.639 they built and designed for you and for me to 00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:02.380 tell you no when I give you an opportunity, be 00:50:02.380 --> 00:50:05.019 set up, be upfront with me.

I don't 00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:11.739 give a fuck about that. You show me your wallet, 00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.960 that's an automatic no. I don't care about that. 00:50:14.670 --> 00:50:16.769 I want to know honestly, bluntness, and character. 00:50:17.730 --> 00:50:20.530 Honestly, I want honesty and be completely transparent. 00:50:20.730 --> 00:50:25.710 I said bluntness and character. So, yes, you 00:50:25.710 --> 00:50:29.929 know, just be open to us with me. I've been there, 00:50:30.050 --> 00:50:32.429 so that's why I want people to know. I can't 00:50:32.429 --> 00:50:36.590 start off at the top. Trust me. And the path 00:50:36.590 --> 00:50:39.070 that I'm giving you is way smoother than what 00:50:39.070 --> 00:50:41.150 I had. I want people to know right now still. 00:50:42.190 --> 00:50:45.599 Brother, when I get the space. Yes, I don't know 00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:48.300 what choice. I put that shit together. We sweated, 00:50:48.300 --> 00:50:51.320 I mean, long hours. And then we stay up at the 00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:52.659 end of the night and tear it all apart again. 00:50:54.099 --> 00:50:56.480 The hard work really pay off because we do it 00:50:56.480 --> 00:51:02.300 for the lover. And I enjoy it. I tell you, I 00:51:02.300 --> 00:51:05.199 love that I can give back to the lifestyle and 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:08.039 the lifestyle community what the rest of the 00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.619 world has took from me. You guys, like I said, 00:51:11.739 --> 00:51:16.710 if you like... To know my journey to where, where 00:51:16.710 --> 00:51:22.369 was I? I served five tours. And each tour I served 00:51:22.369 --> 00:51:24.969 combat in, I got fucked up in all those tours 00:51:24.969 --> 00:51:26.789 where I had to go through some type of rehab, 00:51:27.130 --> 00:51:31.789 some type of therapy. And coming home, I felt 00:51:31.789 --> 00:51:34.909 like I was lost. I lost my brothers in the military. 00:51:35.090 --> 00:51:38.090 They were no longer there. I lost that unity. 00:51:38.699 --> 00:51:40.719 And now I'm home with a bunch of people I don't 00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:42.699 know. So I feel lost in three different dimensions. 00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.219 And then I found myself walking on the fucking 00:51:46.219 --> 00:51:49.880 beach with two knee braces and little crutches. 00:51:50.940 --> 00:51:54.260 And I just happened to roll across a lady practicing 00:51:54.260 --> 00:51:58.519 yoga with a bunch of people. Oh, that was so 00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:01.539 funny. They thought I was a fucking perv. Looked 00:52:01.539 --> 00:52:05.559 at a bunch of women doing yoga. And she told 00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:07.280 me, what you looking at? She started yelling 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.619 at me. And I had to walk over to apologize. And 00:52:10.619 --> 00:52:12.219 I told her, I said, ma 'am, I said, are you doing 00:52:12.219 --> 00:52:15.239 yoga? She said, no, I'm doing Pilates. And I 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:16.860 shared with her, I said, ma 'am, I'm sorry. I'm 00:52:16.860 --> 00:52:19.920 going to come back there. I just retired. I said, 00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:24.260 I was told that Pilates and yoga will help with 00:52:24.260 --> 00:52:28.219 your mental as well as physical rehab. And when 00:52:28.219 --> 00:52:30.260 I got all the warm welcoming and thank you for 00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:32.679 your service and all the hoods, they gave me 00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:37.210 a mat and sit me in the back. And trust me. You're 00:52:37.210 --> 00:52:39.050 not gonna try to cross your legs and fold and 00:52:39.050 --> 00:52:40.809 all that shit. Bro, I wouldn't go back to combat. 00:52:41.110 --> 00:52:46.869 That shit hurt. They had to get me off the ground. 00:52:47.769 --> 00:52:53.309 Oh, boy. But the lady that taught the class, 00:52:53.570 --> 00:52:59.409 she was in the lifestyle. And that's how I started 00:52:59.409 --> 00:53:03.070 meeting people back when I came back home. Because 00:53:03.070 --> 00:53:08.489 of her. So the lifestyle gave me so much. No, 00:53:08.610 --> 00:53:10.730 it was because he wore, ladies and gentlemen, 00:53:10.789 --> 00:53:12.989 it was because he wore gray sweatpants and they 00:53:12.989 --> 00:53:17.110 had that print showing. That's what it was. I 00:53:17.110 --> 00:53:22.000 like to be in that. You would be a dickstraction 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:25.099 for sure in my yoga class. I don't think I could. 00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:28.159 I would be doing some extra downward dog in front 00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:30.579 of you, sir. I would make sure my mat was firmly 00:53:30.579 --> 00:53:34.119 planted right in front of you. Now watch me, 00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:38.659 sir. Watch me. I will show you. Yes, there you 00:53:38.659 --> 00:53:47.219 go. It was such a journey. I feel like, okay. 00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:51.699 My lifestyle generally has been so great to me. 00:53:52.380 --> 00:53:57.039 Now it's time to give back. So that's when I 00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:59.280 started slowing down on the play, and I started 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:01.400 educating more people. I started entertaining 00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:04.980 more people. I started grooming gentlemen, like, 00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:09.039 just in different areas where there was blackness, 00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.239 especially on the top of their fucking brain. 00:54:11.699 --> 00:54:14.940 Because a lot of guys just didn't know. You know, 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.000 a lot of people, a lot of guys come in, oh, I'm 00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:20.869 a bull. What makes you a bull? That's what you 00:54:20.869 --> 00:54:24.070 think, brother? That's what you think? Go back 00:54:24.070 --> 00:54:28.489 to kindergarten. Go back to kindergarten, my 00:54:28.489 --> 00:54:32.250 brother. You either have that or you don't. There's 00:54:32.250 --> 00:54:35.210 nothing to learn there. You've got what you've 00:54:35.210 --> 00:54:39.210 got. But smarts and skills is a whole other direction 00:54:39.210 --> 00:54:42.889 for the bull. Preach. Preach, brother. Preach. 00:54:42.949 --> 00:54:46.369 I'm enjoying just listening to you talk. Preach, 00:54:46.369 --> 00:54:49.500 preach, preach. Boy, I wish I could bottle this 00:54:49.500 --> 00:54:54.099 up and sell it. I'm telling you. And we've been 00:54:54.099 --> 00:54:56.340 preaching, well, I've been preaching the same 00:54:56.340 --> 00:55:01.380 thing for the longest.

I feel 00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:34.340 comfortable speaking for Mrs. Mocha as well on 00:57:34.340 --> 00:57:38.039 this is it's just refreshing and it's comforting 00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:43.280 and to feel so safe at an event and knowing that 00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:47.380 even if my husband didn't attend one event for 00:57:47.380 --> 00:57:51.300 whatever purposes and I went alone, there would 00:57:51.300 --> 00:57:53.940 still be this entire brotherhood of all of you 00:57:53.940 --> 00:57:56.800 guys like watching out for us. And, you know, 00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:59.780 I think that's why. Part of why Socrates, you 00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:02.619 know, we play separately at Splash a lot. You 00:58:02.619 --> 00:58:04.900 know, he feels comfortable, you know, going and 00:58:04.900 --> 00:58:06.960 doing his thing, his direction. And we check 00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:08.860 in with each other. But he knows that he has 00:58:08.860 --> 00:58:11.699 eyes and ears everywhere looking out for me. 00:58:11.780 --> 00:58:13.619 And so I just want to thank and appreciate all 00:58:13.619 --> 00:58:15.599 of you men for that. Well, I want to appreciate 00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:18.619 you two guys because I watch you two. You guys 00:58:18.619 --> 00:58:21.800 are such a teammate. Like, the way you guys work 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:29.809 together. Hey. If and when I get a woman on my 00:58:29.809 --> 00:58:33.570 side like that, I want her to be just like you. 00:58:33.889 --> 00:58:40.070 I mean, the way you put in women that's comfortable 00:58:40.070 --> 00:58:43.409 for the both of you guys is so fucking amazing. 00:58:43.730 --> 00:58:45.530 And they don't have to be as big as Chile, though. 00:58:46.170 --> 00:58:49.909 What's the vice versa? I love that shit, man. 00:58:50.130 --> 00:58:53.869 I do. Go get them, baby. Have fun. And, like, 00:58:54.210 --> 00:58:56.369 I want you to do this afterwards. And we have 00:58:56.369 --> 00:58:58.750 a really good system for Splash. Like we have 00:58:58.750 --> 00:59:01.349 it written down and we go over it every single 00:59:01.349 --> 00:59:04.230 time before of like how we're going to move as 00:59:04.230 --> 00:59:07.610 a couple through that event. And then every single 00:59:07.610 --> 00:59:10.389 time afterwards, you know, we talk about it. 00:59:10.429 --> 00:59:12.849 Do we need to change anything? Was there, you 00:59:12.849 --> 00:59:14.969 know, any disruptions in the event? You know, 00:59:14.969 --> 00:59:19.139 and every time we make little tweaks. of what 00:59:19.139 --> 00:59:22.460 works for us, like what I need more of or how 00:59:22.460 --> 00:59:26.099 he can support me throughout or how I can be 00:59:26.099 --> 00:59:30.000 a better slut secretary throughout. So we're 00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:34.340 always fine -tuning the system that we created 00:59:34.340 --> 00:59:37.179 together for those events. It is a beautiful 00:59:37.179 --> 00:59:40.719 thing to watch them do. It really is. They are 00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:43.179 a great couple. Well, and I want to tell you 00:59:43.179 --> 00:59:46.260 guys, if you get that woman in your life too, 00:59:46.940 --> 00:59:49.719 that follow that leadership of Socrates because 00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:52.320 that's what gives me, you know, I'm a strong, 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.500 independent woman. Don't need no man before I 00:59:54.500 --> 00:59:57.039 met him, right? But now I'm just putty in his 00:59:57.039 --> 00:59:59.860 hands because he gives me that comfort. He gives 00:59:59.860 --> 01:00:02.659 me that safe place. He is that rock. And the 01:00:02.659 --> 01:00:05.159 systems that we have built for these things and 01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:07.599 everything that he said, okay, if this happens, 01:00:07.780 --> 01:00:10.559 this is what's going to happen, you know, is 01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:14.619 true. That consistency gives the woman comfort 01:00:14.619 --> 01:00:18.920 to rely on you in all of those situations. I 01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:21.679 feel that that's the secret of why we've been 01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:26.159 able to move in the lifestyle more quickly. then 01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:28.860 maybe someone who didn't have that foundation, 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:32.139 didn't have that research, didn't have the educating 01:00:32.139 --> 01:00:34.659 of themselves that Socrates did that work before 01:00:34.659 --> 01:00:37.239 he even met me. So you guys are on the right 01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:38.880 track with that. You're already doing the work. 01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:41.820 You're already laying that foundation. But I 01:00:41.820 --> 01:00:44.519 just want to say that is the key to the comfort 01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:49.519 for me is all of that going on. I want you guys 01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.239 to know, and I shared with you guys before, but 01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:55.250 I'm going to say it again.
