Put me down, dawg. Yes, sir. How does this even begin? Because you go back to it. 8 Ball, MJG. No problem, appreciate it, bro.  They know you as Pete Nice. You didn't reinvent yourself seven times. Yeah, that's part of it. You know what I'm saying? Dawg, take me back for those who think they know. But don't know nothing at all. Well, I always wanted to be a rapper. And so, you know, originally from Virginia, I was an army brat, so I always moved around a lot. And I was the kid that I had to learn how to make friends real quick. OK. Because we always moved around as kids. And so, you know, I had this dream and this love for music.  Of course. So, you know, in my pursuit of that dream, I picked up a lot of skills and a lot of things on the way, you know what I'm saying? My videographer didn't want to give him a music video back. So I taught myself how to shoot music videos and edit content. Or, you know, the radio station didn't want to play my song. So I had to get a radio show so I could play my song I want an hour. And the club didn't want to let me perform. So I was like, I'm going to throw my own party before I'm on stuff. So, you know, actually it's kind of funny. Everything that I've done in my career is because somebody else let me down. It's because somebody else didn't show up to work. So when they didn't show up to work, instead of getting mad and posting a sensitive Facebook status or a tweet, I just learned your job. So I don't need you no more. Yes, sir. Yeah, come on, push a button for that, man. Push a button for that. Yo, yo, you know what time it is? That's right. Jack Beauty of the Week, man. Hosted by Gigi McGuire. Show me the honeys. That's right. Who's coming with me? Gigi, let's get it. It's me, your girl Gigi McGuire. Miss, show me the money. And we are here with Shasta Model. My name is Shasta, but I go by Shasta Model. Come on, Shasta Model. I'm giving tall drink of water. Actually, I was giving tall drink of hot chocolate, OK? Because it's cold outside. And this thing is looking real sweet, honey. I'll take a sip. Three of it, yeah. So how old are you? I'm 29 years old. 29. With your sign. Big Capricorn. Big Capricorn. Oh. Yes, I'm here for it. How tall she is? I'm 5'10". OK, Model. Model. Stallion, if you will. Come on, now. So what's your hometown? Where you from? So I was born here in Marriott, Georgia, but I was raised in Louisiana. So I mean, that's home for me. But this is my second home. I've been here for about 11 years now. I love Louisiana. I buy the hot sauce all the time. Best food. The best food. I actually just came from Louisiana. And you want to know why I went? Yes. To eat. Wow. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. You got to go to Louisiana to eat. I went to New Orleans for two days, and my sole purpose was to eat. Do any daiquiris? I did not do any daiquiris. Yeah, I stay away from the sugar-filled alcohol drink, you know? That's how I maintain my youthfulness. It's OK. We're here for it.  Are we strictly dickly?  On a weekend, we're bisexual. Yes, yes. Pretty girls. Baby. What is your thoughts on 50-50 relationships? OK, so I'm that girl that likes my man to be a provider. So I think 50-50 are for a roommate. So unless you want to be a roommate, you got to be a provider.  Can roommates get some pussy, though? He said all or nothing. I don't room with grown men. You got to be a provider if you want to stay with me. We live together. What if I don't want to stay? Would I just need to come and go? You got to provide something for me. People come and go and spend the night at hotels. They pay for that. Got you. OK, I see what you did. I see what you did. It all comes along with something. So you got to make that investment in me. OK. Yeah, we don't do 50-50. I see what you did. And I'll be taking an orgasm. Because if you do that, you are a stroke in somebody's ego. You're giving them a false sense of thinking he that dude. You just got to be like, you know what I'm doing. But you've never faked it like that. No, usually, if I don't get mine, we just done. Like, I'm cool with just like now. I'm going to just roll over. OK. I'm good. And are you giving him a second chance? Is there a redemption happening for him to redeem himself?   OK, because you know players welcome too. Yeah. You can't have a good day every day. Exactly. Exactly. But I got to really like you for you to redeem yourself. I'll be here for that. I'll give you a second chance. Maybe. Maybe. So where can the people find you? You can find me on the gram. Tiktok at Shaz the Model. That's S-H-A-Z-T-H-E Model. Shaz the Model. I also want to shout out Betty Kaston, my girl, Nikki, for getting us on this gig today. Shout out to Gigi. Shout out to Jack. I appreciate y'all so much. We love you. Opportunity. We love you, Stallion. Bro, you done built the empire. Yeah, I should have built it. An empire too.   You know what I'm saying? You got a real tight relationship with Booze on first name basis. You got the goddamn gate open to up a little thing. Boo, my boy, man. You throw parties at his house. Hey, man, you know, we just actually was just over at Booze's house for his. For karaoke. Yeah, for karaoke. Shout out to Booze. Who do that Booze do karaoke at his house? You imagine that. I wish I would go over. I can't even imagine him singing, I Will Always Love You. Yeah. He sung Jodicy. Yeah, he came out there doing Jodicy. Sung Jodicy. He went all in. He was dressed up. He had a costume. He went, he was like, he went all in, brother. Salute to Booze. Appreciate you having us out there. That's what's up, man. And then he cussed me out because he said I ain't been bringing him enough money lately. Booze. Booze, love and money, man. Yeah, you do. You ain't even had that money with Booze. Come on now. Come on now. How did you even force your relationship, man? Man, just just.  Just good business. You know what I'm saying?  I'm not going to hit nobody's line unless I got some value. I'm definitely not a person that's going to try to take from a situation. Any room I walk into, I want to make sure that I'm an asset, not a liability. So whenever I walk into some space, I always try to look at what's missing and how I can fill in the gap, how I can fill in the white space. That's right. And so in Booze's situation, he had some artists that wanted to move around. And I had been doing tours my whole career. And so I was like, well, man, I'll take your artists on tour. And hopefully whatever artists I find that I feel is worthy of that bad-ass stamp, I'll bring them back to you. Man, and we've been having an adult business relationship for quite some time. Man, out of the six guys I brought him, he's offered four of them situations. So Booze is always definitely looking out for the independence. And it's a match made in heaven. It's definitely a good business relationship. Because I go find the talent. And Booze, love the talent that I find. So yeah, man, shouts out boo, man. Shouts out boo. That's my boy. Y'all know what time it is, baby. New Jackthriller City Foodie Call. When the ladies is taking you out, and they have no intentions. Again, you're none and whatnot.

So on this foodie call, I am not, of course, going to give him any, but I'm going to tease him with a little foreplay, right? The sauce looks very lickable. The, even though it's chopped in half, the egg roll itself is very much giving, you know, that shape that we all know it, you know. It's enough shaft on that egg roll. Not really, but you know, if we line them up together, we can make it work. No, no. The sauce and the smell and everything is very, let's say, it's, yeah, it's very tantalizing. Now he ain't going to hit it, but I'm going to make him think that he bought two with this one. And if it tastes as good as it looks, he might even actually get a jerk, you know. What's going on? Yeah. What do I have to do? Yeah, man. I just need to taste it. Yeah. I want this one. All right. Chef Torres, what is that? What's in it? Like she said, you got some nice lickable sauces in there.  All right, that's what's up, man. It's flavors for me.  Don't do that no more, man. All right. Now listen, if y'all know, like I know, and y'all can see how much I'm enjoying this, y'all going to want to get on this man's top ASAP, OK? So let the people know where they can find you. Hop right on it. On Instagram, Bahamines and Chef Torres, T-E-R-E-S, not with a Z. Chef Torres, you going to catch a charge. This is Foodie Call. We'll see you next time with Gigi McGuire. Hey, talk to me about your co-host and everything, man. How do you guys meet each other and for this? Because y'all chemistry is like no other Batman, Robin. We met each other to shoot out, man. He got dumb, you know what I'm saying? He got the buck and I was like, you know what I'm saying? But I was like, you know what I'm saying? I was like, you know what I'm not, man. Man, being started out, just being, you know how some people come into a room, right? And they always want to get something from somebody. They always want to take from the energy. They want to take from the room. Bills was not that kind of person. Any situation he came in to, he wanted to give, you know what I'm saying? And that's what, when I was building my shows and my platform, my studio, that's what I look for. I'm looking for somebody, man.  I know what value I have, but what can you bring to it?  And so, you know, when we started, we started, you know, doing the media and the podcast and stuff.  When I can't teach as a good podcast host, how to be a good nigger. Your mama had to teach you that, right? He can do this all day. Come on, man.  But are you solid? Are you a good person? Do I have to watch my back when I'm around you? And Bills, one of them people, I ain't gotta watch my back. He gonna watch it for me. That's how you got on. He's a super accommodating man. The way, we got five star treatment at your facility in your show last night. Everybody was so cool, so nice, man. You know, this completely amazing environment.  Honestly, I didn't really plan to even do any of this podcasting. It was just more like we chopped it up, like what you think about doing a podcast. And it was like, all right, bet less. Know what I mean? The long story short, it was a simple conversation. It was like, let's try something. We tried it and, you know what I mean? It was a good vibe, so we just kept going with it. You know what I mean? So I don't have no big, great plan of how it happened. It just kind of organically, just like, we did it. I don't know.  We on, nigga.  Niggas got there. You know what, I ain't gonna lie to first, the first time we did a million views, I don't remember if it was TikTok or Instagram or one of them. That's when I started looking. I'm like, damn, I think, you know, we might, we might got something for real, for real. I ain't take nothing serious for Virginia. We just having fun. But when I seen a million views. Yeah, the girl said, yeah, the girl said, she wouldn't dare to go out and work in the McDonald's. Right, right.  Fired her up, and it went viral. As a matter of fact, it was TikTok. It was TikTok. And when I seen that, you know what I mean? I was like, damn, a million views. You know what I'm saying? On a clip on the show. So that right duck kind of made me feel like, yeah, let's not say I'm gonna take it serious because it's really doing something. I seen Corey Hogan talking about y'all making references and stuff, man. And I was like, God damn, he'll meet you home, man. Yeah, man. Shout out to Corey Hogan. Hey, when I saw that, somebody had sent it to me. Like, man, Corey Hogan, Corey Hogan over there. He talk about you on the show. And I was like, yeah. And I said, his impersonation of me was so accurate. He was like, man, it's a big dude, man. Can he be killing them hoes? He hit that motherfucker. Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. Shout out to Corey. It's just dope to have people that I respect, you know what I'm saying? Respect my work, you know what I mean? It never gets old to see people that you admire, you respect, you've looked up to, to actually, you know, actually appreciate what you put in out. So you know what I'm saying? And it's moments like that to help keep you going. You know what I'm saying?   You know what I'm saying? It's a blessing when anybody that, you know, just really rocks with what we got going on with show. Bruh, every time I get in your presence, man, I'm impressed, like, thoroughly. When I first moved back here, you had the, I think it was the Ugly Money Fest. Yeah, Ugly Music Summit, yes, sir. Yeah, the Summit. Yes, sir.  Yeah.  Yes, sir. You took over the H-room walking line.  I don't know what you're talking about, little money. I ain't making no money. Oh, okay. Yeah, there were people in there that was trying to get down with this program. Yeah, and it was so many different, so many different activities to do and to be a part of for independent artists, man. So many different, got seminars. Yes, sir. Guest speakers and everything. Guest speakers got to learn the game they playing. You know, a lot of rappers just want to rap. They want to go in the studio. They want to stay in the studio all day and make a new song. They got a thousand songs, but they ain't nobody heard it. Yeah.   But if you don't know the rules and the rules of basketball, he not going to get past that court. Yeah. Double dribble, traveling. You know what I'm saying? You got to know the rules of the game you playing. And so, you know, with the Ugly Money Music Summit, I wanted to teach artists, hey, bro, this is how you win and actually bring in the people that's winning. And so, you know, we're on our seventh summer. We've been doing it for four years straight. And, you know, it's resulted in at least seven or eight deals being signed.  The fact that I get one of these young brothers out the streets that might have made a different choice. Bro, that's a big fact. What are some of the artists that you have seen or helped come out your summit that you helped put on?  So artists, I know y'all know Fugiano. Fugiano used to come to my shows and it's an interesting story because I remember the first time he came, he lost like hell.  He had no problem, no issue. He just went back to work. And I remember a year later, I was judging another show that he was performing at and I ended up picking him and he turns around, signs the deal, get signed a Gucci and so on and so forth.  And so, yeah, man, that's that's why that's why I always try to treat the independence like majors. Because you just one song away, you just one piece of content away from being the next big thing. So, you know, I was always the guy that I felt like people picked me last for the team. I don't want to be the guy, I don't want to be the guy that's picking you last for the team.  Ugly money Nietzsche was actually, you know, instrumental in my growth and my progress. So, you know, we've had a lot of people that have gone to success. Sleazy World Go used to be on my reviews. You know, he was on the XXL Freshman cover. Bre Triller recently had a big song. I'm the one who told it in the record was a hit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And so, you know, when you see these artists that are that are trying to figure it out and if you can be a part of the story of success, you know, it's always, it's a humbling experience, man, to see them see them go up, go on and thrive. So, yeah, salute to all of them. And it's a, it's a ton of them, man. It's a ton of them. Do you feel like that's your talent? Like you just have a ear to know, like, what's like going to be good, like what's up next?  I think I think I think some of my talent is being able to provide a platform for talent to shine. You know, I'm, I'm gonna just set the stage.   But what I can do is give you an opportunity when that light shines on you for you to turn up and make these folks and turn these folks into believers. You know what I'm saying? And that's something that, you know, we try to do, you know, every day at Ugly Money. You know what I'm saying? On the artist thing, cause we got different departments, but on our artist development part decide, you know, we just want to give the artist a chance and an opportunity to make that, to make that next step. You know what I'm saying? Now what you do with it is on you. You feel what I'm saying? Some people will take the opportunity and run with it and go. And some people will take the opportunity and sit there in the same spot and they'll be there the same year. I can't do nothing about that. But hey man, when I say I'm taking you to Boosie, I'm gonna take you to Boosie.  And if he like you, he may offer you something. I took an artist in Money Bag Yo, same situation. And you can't really, that's hard to do to get these people's attention to the point of listening to new talent or undiscovered talent, you know, and that comes with relationships. You know, you can't pay for that. You can't pay Money Bag Yo to listen to that nigga music. No, you gotta have a relationship. They gotta, it's gotta be something that, you know, me and bag gotta be locked in a certain, you know, in a certain, in a certain respect level for what each of us does. So, you know, yeah, man, you know, as long as I'm able to, I will always try to open doors for the underdog cause I believe I was an underdog myself. Yo, yo, you know what time it is. That's right, Jack Beauty of the Week, man. Hosted by Gigi McGuire. Show me the honeys. That's right. Who's coming with me? Gigi, let's get it. It's your girl Gigi McGuire. Miss, show me the money.

Okay.  Are you straight? I'm straight, yeah.  Straight. HF. Straight like six o'clock. Yeah. Okay. And what are your thoughts on a 50-50 relationship? Are you splitting the rent in the bills with Bay? Honestly, I moved out when I was 16. So, I've always been super like independent.  So, I like to be able to say that I can secure my own house. Like, a nigga can't feel like he could kick me out or can feel like he could take something from me. So, the answer is no.  It is what it is. I'm not like, I don't really have, I guess, an opinion on that because like I said, I've always provided for myself and I've always been able to. So, it's like, if a nigga got it and he wants to share it, that's cool. No, I don't pay your bills, girl. Pay your own bills. I don't want to do it. Don't get it twisted.  I'm just not requiring. I don't listen. I mean, I don't know. See, because that's a loaded question. No scrubs. Okay.  We're not faking it. No, we're not doing that. Have you ever faked it? Girl, maybe like with my first boyfriend because I felt bad. I think he just didn't know what he was doing. And I think it was like really just kind of to make sure that he didn't. His ego.  So at the end when he say, baby, how many times did you come? You're saying zero. I'm just going to act like I've been asleep the whole time. I might not even respond. I already fell asleep. That's illegal. Okay. And where can the people find you, honey? Oh, Nana tattoo.  That's Lana. I'm a tattoo artist. And right now I'm actually doing I'm competing to be on ink magazine. So I got a little special going on on my page. Come get a little tattoo. So yeah. I'm coming girl. Vote for me. Y'all vote for me.  Thank you. Thank you. It's Jack's beauty week. What other services do ugly money offer currently? Oh, man, I mean management. We got management packages. Of course media, you know, I'm saying YouTube promotion. You know, I kind of figured out this YouTube thing. My YouTube went from 5,000 subscribers to 100,000 subscribers in three months. So figured that out. So, you know, when guys want to make the YouTube go up and everything kind of got that. So, you know, marketing media, everything that's around the entertainment industry and trying to move up to the next level, we got our hands in some shape or some shape or fashion, whether it's, you know, play listing, whether it's shows. We do, we do two tours a year. We tour over 30 cities on two tours a year. So, you know, we do two summits and two tours. So whatever they want, if they want a tour, I call it rapid dope, Jack. Anything a rapper need. I got it. It's a rapid dope. I got all the rapid dope, any rapid dope, any kind of rapid dope. They want shows, tours, interviews, features, whatever, studio time, perform. I got it. You know what I'm saying? I'm just, I got the Adderalls, Perkins to hit some mollies. Everything a rapper need. I got it. Not the mollies though. Is it just for rappers though?  You do it for like people that's just trying to get into like, you know, that kind of status period, like people doing podcasts. I'm trying to figure out how to get it. I'm trying to see my way in. She's in the future. She's in 2024. So it's interesting that you say that we're actually launching podcasts you know, in 2024, the same things that we were able to do for independent artists, we're going to do for media, personalities, podcasters and content creators because this space is still growing and there really isn't a lot of blueprint. We really just be shooting in the dark with these things. You know what I'm saying? And it's always dope to have somebody to kind of lead your way like, Oh, I kind of blaze this path. You know, you don't got to go exactly my way, but I'm going to tell you what worked for me and what didn't. So, you know, in 2024, that's one of the biggest, one of our you know, just things that we're working on this is podcast. You were actually helping people produce their podcast. We're giving people game on how to monetize their podcast, how to get some money out here, how to get some sponsors out here, how to get them views up, how to get those numbers up because you know, when we crack that mic, that's the fun part. Then the work happens. It's like, Oh man, we spent three hours on this show and then nobody watch it. And I've been there. You know, my first podcast did 52 views. It was in my living room. Me and such and such was, it was two iPhones and a GoPro. You know what I'm saying?  But you know, and it did 52 views.  I'm going to be viral. No, I don't. I usually don't do that. Right. But you know, it took me four years just to get to the point of being able to three to four years to get to the point of just monetizing my. And so if I can show, if I can tell somebody in 30 minutes what took me three years and why not share that share that knowledge. And so we had 2024. We are really stepping into that educational side of the space of, you know, content creation media podcast. You definitely 100% bro. Now let's go. Let's talk about his name because I'm curious about ugly money. What?  Why not pretty money? No, man. Why not gorgeous money? Gorgeous money. Why not handsome money? Beautiful money. Yeah. Pretty money podcast every Saturday. Ugly, ugly, ugly money is the process of success because it's ugly. It's the ups, the downs, the highs and the lows, everything between your first dollar and your first million, that's ugly money. Right. And I feel that, you know, them fives, them tens, because before you get them hundreds and them thousands and the millions, first you got to find out how to make a dollar.  And so that's why I kind of came with the ugly money moniker because of the fact that that's really how my career had been. Really?   And a lot of people don't see what's behind success or where a person had to go through to get to success. They think it's overnight. No, you heard about it overnight. Brother had been in there and been in the trenches for four, five years, you know, trying to figure it out. But, you know, by the time he got that light shining that opportunity came, he was, he was ready for it. And that situation with me, you know, I've been in podcast darkness for three years on nobody really watching it.  Respect. 100%, man. Yo, so do you ever, you get so much music thrown at you all that. Do you get tired of listening to music or is it like, you know what? I got a good attitude every time you, and you can't wait to hear what the next song is. I wouldn't say I get tired of it because I love to do this. This is what I love to do. If I had a job, right? Okay. If I worked at the Waffaha.  If I worked at the Waffaha. Okay. And I got off at five o'clock. Yeah. At five, 15, you know what I would do with my time?  Okay.  You know what I'm saying? So when you really love what you do, it don't feel like, I go to work and have fun, bro.  And so it's a, it's, it's fun. You know what I mean? I get paid to have a good time. And so when it comes to the musical in, you know, do I get tired? Yeah.  Nobody told you that you could not rap on the beat. The fact that you can't even hear your vocals over your beat. Nobody told you that. So I got to be the first.  So that gets tiring, but then the next record be hard. So you write back at it. So, you know, when I hear good music and I, you know, and I come across artists that are hungry and are talented, you know, that motivates me to keep going for sure. Got you. Got you. Early Money. What's the, what's the, what is a nice way to let somebody down and say, hey, this ain't for you.  It's not your calling. Um, you know, have you ever done that? Yeah, I do all the time. Um, let's say Jack Thriller is trying to be a rapper. Yes. And it's terrible. And I say, and I'm listening to the song and it just, it just not going away. It's going out.  The manager gets paid. The road manager gets paid. You know, Eric, the CEO, there's a ton of things that you can do in the music industry besides being an artist. The producer gets paid. The engineers, everybody gets paid before the rappers, the last person to get paid.  That's what I tell you. Go get, go get paid first, bro. Because, you know, you don't, you don't want to get paid last.     But you know, if, if, if people aren't gravitating to it, this may not be your thing. Go try something else. You may be great. I was, that was me. I was a rapper. They gravitated to it. I got to the point where I got signed.  No, it wasn't what was for me. But as soon as I got them, put a mic on my hand and push a button the whole world. Listen. What shit?   I'm still rapping. But it's just a different word.  Some you're calling and your passion may be different. Right. You know, we had, we have a passion. I had a passion to be a rapper. But my calling was to talk to people. My calling was to talk to the masses because when I open my mouth for some reason, they listen. I can't explain it. I don't know why this having this interview. I ain't really got no script in my head of what I'm going to say. Man, that's God talking. You know what I'm saying? And so, but my passion was music. Well, how can I use my calling to help my passion? I think that's what people should start doing. We'll start. What was your rap name? P Nice. P Nice. So, we go to Apple Music or Spotify right now. Search up P Nice. We're going to get some old money. I pray now. I pray I got it all deleted. You don't got nothing? I pray now. No, it's a song with me and Young Doff up there. Okay. Yeah. Me and Young Doff did a record called Roll On. Long Live Young Doff. But, you know, we did a song because I was signed to A-Ball and MJG. Yeah. So, you know, that Memphis connection was always, was always crazy with me. But no man, you know, I feel like I retired from music. Right. I didn't quit because I had did one. I had some success. I got to the point where I got myself signed. I had got some paid shows. I had made some money. I just figured out it was my time to depart and do and try some other things. You know what I'm saying? And I felt that I would be better. I would be a better coach than continue to try to be a player. Right. You feel what I'm saying? Like, I'm like, I felt like Steve Kerr. Whereas like Steve Kerr was a dope player.  Hell of a coach. You feel what I'm saying? You got the rings up. Yep. And so when I switched from being a player to a player, I started, you know, I started, uh, I started seeing a lot more success. Primarily because of the fact that P. Nice as an artist was a selfish individual. A lot of artists have to be selfish. Play my music. Check me out. Share. Like it. Comment. You always need something as an artist. You want people to, as Nietzsche, how can I help you reach your dream? What can I do for you? How can I help your podcast go up? How can we make sure that your dance is the next TikTok craze? How can we make sure that we monetize New Jack Thriller, you know, Jack Thriller City so we can, you know, hit, you know, two, three commas this year.  And when you provide services, of course, you know, income comes in. Hey, I wanted to ask you that too.  And I know how much I'll charge too. What's the most you ever made in a day off with your live reviews of just independent artists sending you your money?  About half of what Jack make.  You know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to keep up with Jack. He's trying to burn it down, but you a bad motherfucker, man. You a bad motherfucker, man. Hey, man, those, um, I look forward to those rants that you do and everything. And it seemed like they always coming from, like you said, um, a very personal situation. When you talking about these artists and like when you was just talking about your plight being an artist and everything.  Don't nobody support me for that. Yeah. You got to support yourself first. You got to get somebody something to support. Right. You know what I mean? Who want to get in a car that can't work? The car ain't going. The car can't move. Ain't no engine in the car. The car went, went, went nowhere. Who want to jump in that car with you? N***a, you ain't going nowhere. N***a, get that car moving. N***a, we want to catch a ride with you after that. You know what I'm saying? I think it's sometimes it got to start with us. It got to start, you know, as an artist, you need some fans. You need some fans. You need some fans. You need some emotion first. You need some fans.  No, you can handle your whole rap career by yourself right now because it ain't much of a career.  You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I just think that a lot of times you got to double down on you, bet on you.  All you got to do is believe in what you got going on, stand on it and be consistent each and every day living whatever your purpose is and eventually you're going to end up somewhere. You never lose until you quit. So, just don't quit. Just keep going.  Now, you may not go exactly where you thought you would go, but you're going to get somewhere. Now, when I started this whole entertainment 2.0. No. I'm more like Joe Button. 2.0. You know what I'm saying? So, I didn't end up exactly where I thought I was going to end up, but I ended up somewhere, you know, it's a blessing. So, when you tell your parents that you want to rap, what do they say to you? When I used to, when my daddy used to, my daddy used to hate my music. I used to hate my music. You know, I actually just moved my dad down in Atlanta with me two months ago. Okay. Down here in Atlanta, as kids, I would skip school to, you know, my dad would go to work and we act like we go to school and as soon as he leave, we come back to the house and be recording. Of course, he come home on lunch and goddamn cuss us all out. Yeah, he didn't like it too much, but when he saw how passionate I was about it and I was not stopping, you know, after a year of your son just sweating in this room every day, making noise, as a father, you know, he was extremely supportive because at the end of the day, he bought me a computer to record at, he bought me a keyboard to make beats, so they must have believed in me because once I showed passion in it myself, they definitely got behind me for sure. You had a good childhood to sound like. Yeah, man, you come home a great home. Yeah, I did. I definitely did. I can't cap like the rest of these rappers on these interviews or came from the trenches. The lights was all broken. I have all that going on, bro. You know what I mean? My dad was in the military. My mom, you know what I'm saying, was a cell Mary Kay Cosmetics. She was us. And my daddy always had a hustle about him. So he was always doing odds and end jobs. And you know, daddy was just every time he get over there, what you got going on now? I'm about to take this trailer over here, take this car over here and take it in. Got to spend his hustle money. You know what I'm saying? So I think I got that hustle mentality, that entrepreneurial spirit from my father for sure. But when the last time you had a job? When I got out of the army in 2010, February 10th, 2010 was the last time I had a your job with the army. Yeah, I was in the military. Okay. I went to Iraq with the second infantry division. That sucked. But you know, I told myself then I said, man, God, if I had a deal with God, if I could survive this war, I won't complain and I will go as hard as I can after my dream. And I never stopped after that. Because I was supposed to die. How did war change you? My brother went to the same war. War is war.  Every day you got somebody trying to keep. And you know, the thing about Iraq because I was in Iraq, it sucked about it was the day that I got there, they were shooting and killing. The day I left, they were shooting and killing. They were shooting and killing. They were shooting and killing. They were shooting and killing. They were shooting and killing. They were shooting and killing. That's when we get in their way. I'm like, what is we here for again? And you hear conspiracy theories like now we really hear about some oil or whatever, you know? Not to get too political but I will say that freedom is not free. We are able to live in this country as of fellow soldiers, you know, in that war, and you know, we should all definitely salute our service of men and women, because freedom ain't free. We're able to keep these lights on and live free and walk around and, you know, and stay out past 11 o'clock because somebody over there popping off for us, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, I may not be in a grudge with a lot of the political people up top, but I'm definitely in full support of soldiers and troops. So was it your decision to go to the army or was it like your dad kind of wanted you to do it? Um, my daddy, you see, I had a real daddy, daddy, right? I had a daddy. James Evans. Yeah, yeah, I had a real daddy. My daddy told me, he said, thank you, brother, appreciate it.  You picked. When I tried college, I got kicked out of college and said, well, you only got two choices. I would be all that I could be. Feel like going to jail. But when my dad, you know, when my daddy was basically, but I thank him for it today because it made me strong. It made me independent. It made me go figure out my own problems and issues or whatever, because I think that all young men should go through a little something. You should. Yeah, we need to be a little tough. We need to be a little strong. That makes strong men, you know what I'm saying? You got to let them fall on the brush, you know, get your knee up a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Fall down a couple of times. You don't want to be no punk. You don't want to be no sister.  And really, that was his way of pushing me towards greatness. That was his way. I truly believe that I am the man I am today because of my father and the values that he instilled in me, you know what I'm saying? And I still, I still hold him to this day. So when, you know, he got to a point where he was getting older and he had had a couple of strokes, you know, they were talking about maybe putting them in the home like, oh hell no, it's my turn to, it's my turn to return the favor. Get in there.  Get in there. Yeah, you're going to be on the podcast.  And so, you know, went up, went up to, flew up to Virginia. We sold the house. I packed them up, brought them back down here. He been living with me for the past two months, man. He love it. He, you know, he always talking about getting some red bones for Georgia Peaches. He, he love, he love the show. Yeah. He love the show.  You got me. I had Joe Smith wife in there. I had Joe Smith wife in there. Where you find her? Man, listen. We had interviewed Joe Smith wife, man. Joe Smith wife over there messing with my dad.   Because he got something for you. Holy cow. That nigga got something for you. Bro, where did you find her? Man, you know, she living in Atlanta. I don't know that. Yeah, she living in Atlanta, man. We, um, I saw her on one of my, I shot her on my boy a purple shell. I saw him on one of my partner shows and I was like, bro, you got to connect me. I need to talk to her ASAP.   And, um, so I reached out. We got in contact with her. She's like, yeah, I love to come on the show. You know, be nice to me though. And I like, I was like, well, let's say, I say, you want to come on the debate show because I was trying to get on Triggler. She's like, no, we can do an interview. I'm like, okay. So when I did the interview, everybody was calling for blood. They wanted me to, they like, bruh, push the button on the file. I'm like, it's an interview. My journalism, it's a, I'm supposed to ask questions. So I didn't get the chance to. To light up. I didn't get a chance to light up because it was the interview. You know what I'm saying? I want to make sure that I'm doing what I say I want to do. But she did say that she coming on Triggler. Oh, okay. That button was itching. It was itching, bruh. No, no, no. If she ever comes on Triggler, the button going to be got them off. Yeah. The button going to be ready. So what's trigger alert? That that's when you have your like woman, man debate. Yeah. We talk about relationships, life, love and relationships. You know what I'm saying?  You should come on the show. You need to come on the show. You look like my second baby mama, the expensive one. $2,500 a month. What a damn five-year-old need $2,500 a month for a month. I love to have you on them. I can. I can. We'd have a great time. Okay. We have a great time. I love it. I love it. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good times, man. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We have fun on that show, man. Yeah, you're going to have a really good time, man. The drinks is flowing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? The music is nice.  Yeah. I would never do that. No, I'm a girl. You know what though? I will say this. A lot of times the women have great points.  I'm like, ain't that show true? Baby, live it. You know what I'm saying? I just may disagree. My show is not to... I don't bash women. I really... It's really more of a comedy. I don't... We don't bash women.  It's just like, hey, baby, you're not going to sit here and tell me that Jada Pinkett Smith is not the Michael Jordan of toxic women. She is the most toxic... I mean, she is LeBron James of toxicity. The things that she's done to Will Smith and the demascinalization and how she makes a public mockery of him is an abomination of masculine energy. And so the girls might be like, well, you know, he did it. Nah. I'm going to just... I'm going to just stand on. I ain't man. I'm just pro... I'm pro black man. But I'm also pro love. I'm also pro black couple. You know what I'm saying? I want more of us to... I want more families. I want more two parents. Because I came from a two-parent household. And I know how dope it is to be able to... When mama tell... When daddy tell you to go ask mama. You know what I'm saying? Now everybody don't get to do that. Now I got to do that.  No, don't do it. Mama. I get the honey boy out the goddamn... I get the honey boy out the cabinet.  Then I get it. He my daddy by... Mama said I can have it. Turd. Now that's they problem. I believe I...  To be able to have that. And at the same time, black men in general, we need black men to raise us to become strong black men. Yeah. And so that's what my show is really about. That's the bigger meaning of it is the fact of men. Let's put the black father back in the picture and let's not alienate him. Let's not water him down. And let's not dilute him or disassociate him. You know, I understand queens that you can go get your money in 2023. Black women are doing an amazing job. An amazing job. They are killing it. But let's not forget. Tyrone. You don't want to, God damn, replace Tyrone with Joe Byron. Okay? Because a lot of times, the issue I have is these women will get... Certain ones will get Section 8 food stamps, WIC, Medicare, Medicaid or whatever Medicaid. And they say, oh, I'm independent. I don't need no nigger. Yeah. You don't need no nigger because you got a white boyfriend named Joe Byron. The president, you are living off the government.  But Tyrone over here was offering the same house, the same protection, the provisions. He was paying the bills. He was bringing home the bacon. But if Tyrone asks you, I had a long day at work, baby. Can you give me some peace and quiet? Oh, I ain't doing that.   Guess what you're going to do? You're going to get up and go clean the house. And so, you know, I just want to get back to men and women, you know, loving each other, respecting each other and just, you know, everybody playing a position so we can both succeed. 100 percent, man. I'd appreciate that, my boy. That's awesome. What do you think is the problem in black households now? Why do you think we don't see two parent households in the black community anymore? Mama went, she left, you know, mama went outside and got her some money. And when mama went and got her some money, she thought that she was daddy. And just because mama went and got her some money doesn't mean that daddy is not useful.  And you can make millions. It's going to be hard for me to compete with that. In order, I had to make my first million, it took me 40 years to make my first million. The fact that you were born gorgeous, you can make a million in a year if you want it to. You know what I'm saying? And so when women get to the point of, I love the fact that women are strong that they can provide for themselves. But you just don't, just because you can provide for yourself doesn't mean that this man holds less value. Just because you can make your money and be an adult and pay your bills does not mean that this man cannot bring a whole another, you know, different type of lifestyle to you.  And then the internet, that's really what happened. Because mama and daddy used to have to work out their problems because mama, all the men she saw was daddy and the niggas at work. Right? So that's her pool of people to choose from. Well, shitty. Still ain't better than Tyrone. So I, you know, and so they work out their problems. Now, well mama got an Instagram and she got 150,000 followers. That's 150,000 big. That's in her message requests that she can choose one. And as soon as Tyrone may come in, guess what she's going to do? I don't got to deal with this. I got a ton of niggas that I can go see. And what does she do? She throw that man away and she had that kid with and she leave him for whatever infraction that she feel that she left him for. And she go get another nigga that's willing to lie to her. And she, then the black family is broken up. Then the household is, you know, it's split. It's separated. Social media really plays a big part. It really a negative effect because you can, you can literally go, you can go, you can go, you can go get attention from anyone at any time.  All right, I got 5,000 niggas to choose from today. Which one I'm going to, who paying for my goddamn juice and crab?     But is he going to stay for that family? And a lot of, a lot of these women misconstrue the guy that's coming for pussy for the man that's staying for the family. I want us to get back to the, the man that's staying for us.  You know what I'm saying? He just over here for the ride baby. I'm over here for the long haul. And I think that sometimes we are too quick to just quit on each other because we all feel that we got so many options because of this app on this phone when we could have really worked that out. That's all I'm saying. You think women are better divorced as a father by women?  They leaving asses. Yeah, but that's only because we were talking about this before. You know, we were talking about this before. Men are less confrontational. Men are not, there can be a problem in a relationship and a man is not going to be the one to communicate that first and be like, hey, we got a problem. Let's fix it. The woman is the one doing that. And after you've done it about 10 times and then again doing nothing.  Women are just going to file for divorce.  But a nigga will really stand in a relationship knowing that it ain't working out, but he just don't want to communicate.  But then when she leave, he flabbergasted.  But we don't give up on you. You got to understand one thing. They give up in different ways though. They might not give up in a way that they file for divorce, but they don't want you to work. There you go. That's what we were talking about last night. So let me ask you something. I like that drop. Listen. I might need a button real quick. Yeah, that's a good drop. One thing about it is that we have we have to explain to women sometimes that, you know what I'm saying? Your man should be a provider and be able to protect and take care of you. But at the same time you were grown adult. So certain responsibilities as far as bills, these are just adult things. There's so many women that come on the show and get them screwed. Like, oh, if he's not, you know, taking care of all my bills, then he really don't rock with me. Well, when it all actually as an adult, it's certain things you're just going to have to handle. You know what I'm saying? It's no way around being adult, especially if you have kids. So, you know, feeling that just because a man won't financially, like you say, pay all the bills. That don't mean he don't really rock with you. Marriage, that things are more than likely going to fall on the husband. Yeah. But we're not married right now. Well, yeah, yeah. So when you get to that level, then you can get wife privileges. But I just met you last week at what you call it. No, I say that all the time. I don't know. You can't expect wife privileges from girlfriends and you can expect husband from a boyfriend.  That is for marriage specifically. But that's what I'm saying. Like when you get married, yeah, the husband should be paying all the bills. I'm more than likely that's how it's going to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Yeah. So, you know, it just be a lot of little ways that women just get fed up but men just don't fall for divorce.  Well, I mean, is that wrong? Is that wrong that I didn't give up on you? You got to understand one thing. The fact, if I get to, if I get to the point of marrying you because men, we love unconditionally. That's a fact. Yes. I could look. Who said that? Who said that? We talked about it from your show. Remember? Facts. If you worked at Waffle House. Facts. If you worked at Czechos, Preach. I would love you the same way. You feel what I'm saying? I could be riding in the drive-thru in my Bentley and your finances in the damn drive-thru and I'll pull you up out of that drive-thru and take you home with me. That's very true, but there's a different, okay. You got to love a woman unconditionally regardless of money or her status because that's not her position.  If she ugly in fact, though, that's not unconditional love.  If I'm looking at her, I'm like, damn, she look good right now, so that's a personal opinion. Lizzo can get it, bro. That's a personal opinion. What she talking about, we're almost stuck. Almost stuck. Get it now. Lizzo got one time. Oprah got one time forever. Bro, I'm, I don't mean, Jack, you get a night with Oprah. Yeah. Are you pulling up?  Oh, man. I'll be trying to tell you. I'll be telling you, bro. Oh, man. Hey, bro, Oprah got one time, bro, to come around here. I'm shooting up the goosebumps. I'm nothing in you. You weren't shooting up the goosebumps I don't know what's there I don't know What is this What's going down That's going down Your body like, Oh, Now you can. I'll try to tell you, You know what I'm saying? In the morning. In fact. Is that true?  Didn't then I leave hooker.  You feel I'm saying a lot of things that we have that are frustrating too But at the end of the day, you know, we know that we put up with it because we understand it I love this woman unconditioned.  They find out.  No, I'm not about to stop by the club or whatever on some sneaky link No, we can't go have tea or lunch in them. No, I'm gonna move forward You know I'm saying so I just think women quit on us way quicker than we quit on y'all Run out on the family conscious mother-father think about it like What are the main reasons why why why why divorce is happening? financial money or infidelity Data transactional dating. That's the problem. So a lot of that shit is connected to that So if it's me Yeah, so but if me and you get together right and they and when we when we were getting married today one I have a job.    I never believed in that rainy day Because what what makes the sense of if a woman was with you and she never provided for you or done anything for you?  I don't like it cuz the concept make make no sense to me But that's the point though cuz the husband is gonna provide and if the wife is wise with her money And she's stacking up for if something happens when you get laid off She has the money, but most of the time she just moves on to another provider She has enough money to move on to I don't need to deal with this shit Cuz I've been slaving at the goddamn factory This situation though, we're talking about a like it's normal situation That's very rare and in today's households with married couples The woman does work and pay bills it's very rare that a woman just never pays like a dime towards bills for 10 years That's not our average situation. So on that. No, it's not that show would like marriage like the woman does work And she does pay bills. Yeah, it's one of 23 women are killing it. Yeah, so that this is a very rare situation We talking about that doesn't just happen. I believe she should pay some bills though I don't think the brunovitz should be on her, but I love the wife I do like you consistently, you know taking care of something because it shows responsibility It shows that you know how to manage a checkbook it shows you know how to like do something with your money Yeah, so it's like I want you to do something you should know that before you marry her though I know me knowing that and you putting that in the action and making that materialized within the moment is see Cuz all of that sounds good when we talk about it But then when it's time for me to watch you really manage a checkbook and you just sitting here looking and you don't know What to do and you just have $1,500. Hey, where your money at with you? You got $13 in your account You don't know where your money went in it.  He's not going to be you there are things that are How we do all know yeah They end up going through a divorce and now they credit is like got them a 620 and they went from you know 850 to 620, but how you know heart everybody goes through hard times eventually, but at the end of the day What do you have to show for this 10 years of protections and provisions? That I gave you so when I fall if you can't cushion my blow then what did what were you doing? Gotta be You we're going to school or whatever I'm a penny bill for the past two years. I cool switch What we do if you don't if you don't have anything to show for the fact that I've been paying and taking care of you and your kids and Da-da-da for the past then you know what it we really got a reconsider. You gotta re-evaluate That's why I don't believe that a man should pay everything. I don't see me. I Don't believe that You know what I don't know it just depends on where you work If y'all married and y'all got kids then go ahead and make y'all separate money, but who watching the kids That's that's that's I work from home for the most part. Yeah, I don't I don't care We don't care. Yeah, we don't care about that. Do you just like how she said that 500 credit score baby Your credit score could be 300 and I'm a look at you be like, bro.  We're not thinking about I wonder where she works. I wonder what she drives Credit score she has Men don't think like that we love literally Unconditional we kind of offer physical parents initially, but that's what I just we just take you as you come We'll build a woman up, but a woman ain't building a man up and that's a big Nothing wrong with that, but that's just life.  I'm not your mama The man only Jesus or his daddy could build a man. It's a support system Cuz as men we know how to build our Exactly, you know as a man we go through a lot of things out here Respectfully, you know saying so having that that support system plays a big part in the success in our life because if we Support it and and around the right people in the right type of energy We could do anything literally encouragement support goes a long way Yeah, you know, that's a that's a whole nother thing though. Yeah, what's the stint of your encouragement support money? What is it beginning? What is it in as a wife or as a girlfriend practice like humor me? No for real for as a wife I would do honestly, I I really believe that divorce only happens if he hit me or If he cheats Okay, I might if he cheats Sex with somebody else or if he hits me then then the marriage is okay hitting you I totally understand that man But cheating I think is the infidelity is the stupidest reason for a woman.   It's not about to happen. I can tell you you look expensive Okay, so the type of guys that you would even Facilitate or you would even be attracted to are going to have to be a certain financial caliber high value man Name me one rich man that you've ever met that don't cheat that hasn't had a problem with Monogamy, can you name one? Can you name one million?  The bigger picture is the fact in the matter It's what are these ain't nobody finished you don't know motherfucker. Sierra.   I'm like all my husband.   I'm not you Tyrone tie tie little Ron Ron Jack little playboy got them in the cameraman But it's not dangerous. It's dangerous when I do it, but it's cool when you do it But even besides that point though, it just shows lack of it just shows, you know, your character's like people You know that get me Discipline you you're not honest I have character discipline and all that cuz I'm paying all the bills that shows my type of Be as I got you that is your ego ma'am Nothing to do with the person that gets Ma'am if I am protecting and providing and taking care of my kids I'm talking or whatever. I don't want to interrupt you on your show. I'm sorry, but if I If I'm protecting and providing and taking care of everything that I'm supposed to take care of as a man, right? You're comfortable. I'm paying the bills. I'm taking care of the household. I'm a father to our kids I'm inspirational to you. I pour into you the way I'm supposed to pour into you What do you lose by me stopping by this young lady's house on Tuesday?  Other than the fact of the matter is that I lost the nut and I came home extremely calm You don't lose anything ma'am. That's ego your ego is in it because you feel that I got the best pussy in the world He's only had his pussy, but you know what God might not have wired on me in that way I'm not saying all men cheap, but I don't think I think that monogamy is taught it is beaten to men's head We naturally want to flower seeds with that. We naturally want to spread it around But some men have been taught that so you're telling a man to go against what his natural nature is Because of your ego Well, that's a reason to walk out your house. Everybody don't got to get married true And if you choose to get married, you know what marriage is and if you feel like yeah I don't have it in me. It's there one woman. Don't get married Why what what about what the fact the fact of the matter is that a man has sex with another woman makes him a bad person? It don't make him a bad person it makes you it makes me a man for marriage So I'm gonna exit the marriage. I'm gonna protect her in the provide Let me tell you something about protectors game providers when a man credit card come out his pocket It did get hard. You know why I could pay bills. I paid these bills. I paid this mortgage. You know what? I have the right to do what I please with it would then the same way I pull out the credit card I can pull out the dick you want to sit in this house and be kept and be protected and Provided for and go on vacations three or four times a year once the Disney World with the kids You want to do all of these things? I had to work 25 30 years of my life Just to be able to talk to a woman to have a woman is beautiful You do my house and you think that I've got to the point where I can have you and you think that When I finally get to the top of this mountain that I'm just gonna. Oh, I'm just gonna give it to you Nobody force you to give it to one person I've seen your old pictures from all from Facebook you were born looking like that queen You saw my work to get you know, I'm not saying that women don't have to work to get the place But at the same time like a man has to work his whole entire life just to be valuable enough to get you to say yes Okay, I've made it I've made it to now. I'm gonna reap the fruits of my label and that may be Tiffany house Come on now and if you able to steal by Tiffany, you know, I think it's an even swap no swindler I went to go see Tiffany. It's a fair trade. Come on. Your wife can cheat then.  Where my twenty-five hundred it so she pays half the bill She don't want to do that. What women want to do that? No, this mortgage is five thousand Even better Chicken she thin now see I don't know about it. No, that's a whole nother story.    Oh, that's a whole different story for you down here at the bottom with me and we in the trenches We sleeping on the goddamn air mattress together and you don't roll with a nigga.   I'm already a Bentley.  There I want to get triggered. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done man. I appreciate all that But you just popped your collar. I'm speaking to pop in your collar.

I appreciate you having us Yes, you are one of the founders of this podcast game and that's for sure Man, thank you, man. I love y'all man. Let's take some pictures. Yeah


Every human being's life is equal and there are Children who are being started they are dying of starvation, and it's a manufactured family By our ally our ally doesn't share American values America would not do that But it looks like America is doing that this has to stop It's horrible. We've had 20 family members who have been slaughtered The rest of our family members are homeless the entire population of Gaza is homeless It's unacceptable. I don't understand the out where's the outrage? Where's everyone's concern? It doesn't seem to be there


After that, I would reenter government as an ambassador and I continued my work. I really got to ask my, continue to ask myself the question, where is the diversity in the foreign, in the policy making community? Where are the people of color? Where are just diverse voices of many respects? And, you know, there really, there really is a dearth of diversity in terms of the policy making that's being done. And, you know, I dare say that it's just the US, but there certainly is a diversity lack in the policies that we make on peace and security that affect people around the world on the ground, which means there's a lack of perspective on what policies are being made, a lack of perspective and cultural sensitivities and gender sensitivities on not only how our decisions are made, but how they impact people on the ground, people who are doing the work, the people who are engaged. And so for me, that doesn't make a lot of sense, because so many of the areas of peace and security affect women predominantly, affect women of color predominantly around the world. And yet we were not at the table. So that was really my catalyst. That was my question.


And in order to get the income statement, you're gonna need some kind of bookkeeping. There's no double entry accounting system in the tax software because there's no balance sheet, but you may still wanna recommend a client use software that implies or implements a double entry accounting system like a QuickBooks or Zero or that kind of software because that makes your accounting system more reliable and your income statement more reliable. So it also means that we have to double check our number when we do the data input because we don't have as much of a double check with the double entry accounting system. We might talk about more of that later, but the net income in essence is what then flows through to the rest of the form. It would flow through to the schedule one here. As we can see schedule one, which is additional income and adjustments to income. This is the business income or loss schedule C. So that makes sense. That sums up down below. That's pretty straightforward. And it pulls into the 1040. So 1040, we no longer have the W2 income up top, but rather we've got the other income from schedule one. That's all making sense. That doesn't seem too much more complicated other than the fact that we have to deal with the income statement, the bookkeeping and so on with regards to it if we wanna help a client out with that. And then we've got, but then it gets a little funny down here because we also have to deal with the added taxes. So we've got something happening here. That wasn't there before. And then we've got this qualified business deduction. That wasn't there before. And then on page two, we're not only calculating the taxes, but we also have this other taxes including self-employment tax. So that's got messy all of a sudden. Let's first take a look at this self-employment tax. So the self-employment tax is over here on schedule SE. So self-employment, you can think of it as like the equivalent for a self-employed individual as the payroll taxes if you were in an employee-employer situation. So in other words, if you were an employee of someone else then you would be paying social security and Medicare tax as well as withholding for federal income tax. And the employee would also be paying social security and Medicare kind of matching is the kind of concept that they were trying to set up there. If you are self-employed then they still want you to pay into the social security system, right? So how are they gonna make you pay into the social security system? If I don't have any employees, I'm not giving myself a W-2. Clearly I'm the one doing most of the work if I'm the owner of the business and I have no employees. So the IRS says, hey, we're gonna take that 100,000 and we're gonna force you to pay not only the federal income tax but also the social security and Medicare tax. Not only that, but we're gonna force you to pay in essence the employee and employer portion of the social security and Medicare tax. It's not exactly like that. We'll talk more about the calculation later. But in essence, it's kind of like twice the tax on the net income. So the net income of the Schedule C is kind of treated at as though it's your earnings, like W-2 earnings from the employer and as though you're the employer paying the social security and Medicare. So that means it's an added tax. Now this Form 1040, we usually just think about the income tax because that's the thing we're focused on and oftentimes the W-2 has the information of the social security and Medicare but it's already been taken care of by the employer unless they went over the cap or something like that. So there's nothing we have to do but here we do have to do something because nobody else is taking care of the self-employment tax because we're self-employed. So the tax, I won't go through the calculation now, we'll talk about it later but you could see it's kind of a messy calculation and we get down to the 14129 which is significant obviously, which is now going to the 1040 page two. So not only do we have the tax income tax but now we've got the self-employment tax increasing the total tax significantly. All right, so not only that but then we've got this above the line deduction here. See, we've got this 7065. Where did that come from? Where did that come from? Let's go to the schedule one page two this time. There's the 7065, it says it's the deductible part of self-employment tax that came from the Schedule SE. Let's think about that back to the Schedule SE. We calculated, we just determined that the 14129 is our portion of like the social security and Medicare like payroll taxes as though we were the employee and employer of ourselves on the Schedule SE. But they're trying to mirror this situation to match what would happen in an actual C corporation. In a C corporation what would happen is that the person paying the wages would get to deduct the wages, the income, the W2 wages and in our situation, the W2 wages are income to us because we're kind of paying ourselves because it would be like similar to us giving ourself a W2 of 100,000 which would bring the net income to zero. We're just saying that's kind of like our W2 income so half of that tax would be like similar to us paying the withholdings for social security and Medicare but then they also pay the employer half of the tax which we had to employ too but they get to deduct the employer half of the tax when they do that. So now they're gonna try to fix the sole proprietor to mirror what happens on the business side. They wanna allow us to deduct the employer half of the social security tax which is similar to the employer half of the payroll taxes which you would think would happen somewhere on the Schedule SE but you can't put it on the Schedule SE because if I deducted on the Schedule SE that would cause a loop reference because this 100,000 would then be decreased which would recalculate the amount that's gonna be the actual tax and so on and so forth. So we have to deduct it somewhere else and that's gonna be this half that they calculated here so they took half of it, 14, 129, half of that 50%, 7,065 pulls in to page or Schedule 1, Page 2 there's the 7,065 which sums up down below and then that pulls into the form 1040 so now we've got the 100,000 minus the 7,065 gets us to the 92935 AGI adjusted gross income and then we've got the standard deduction that was there before it's the same cause we're still a single filer, no change there but then we've got this qualified business income deduction on form, so the form here is 8995 so if I go to the 8995 qualified business income deduction and this was a rule that came in a little bit a little while ago when they were trying to simplify the tax code but then trying to, again, it kind of came about that they were trying to make the taxes simplified and lesser for the flow through entities like a Schedule SE and the LLC and the corporations and then, again, just like normal they kind of left out or forgot about the sole proprietors as they did that and then they had to kind of fill in the gap with this kind of plug the qualified business income deduction so this deduction is somewhat of a mess but it's a huge component as you can see so this is being used to pull in to calculate the 1040 and here's the worksheet here the trader business income the 100,000 minus the 7065 gets to that 92935 which is the qualified business income which is then what is used to calculate the deduction so hopefully we'll be able to dive into that a little bit more in a future presentation but I just want to point out to now that that obviously adds another kind of weird level of complexity here and then that's going to give us our taxable income which is at the 63, 988 and then page two now we've got the tax being calculated and then of course we already saw that we had this self-employment tax that's going to be included now down below with the withholdings the payment side of things we no longer have the W-2 withholdings anymore that means that we can't just fill out a W-4 and then have our employer withhold the withholdings we have to make estimated tax payments and those estimated tax payments are often another mess especially for new sole proprietors and that's because people when they move from a W-2 employee situation to a sole proprietorship they just don't really even think about the taxes oftentimes for one and number two they don't know how much they're earning because if you're a new Schedule C business you can't actually calculate the tax until you actually calculate your income and you don't know what your income's going to be until the end of the year typically now you might say, hey look, I can just take as I go I might have in the first quarter I might have earned 20,000 and so why don't I just take the 20,000 times the tax rate I'll say 15% or something and then I can calculate my tax as we go well that would work if it was a flat tax but it's a progressive tax so I can't take like 20,000 of earnings and then try to know what tax rate I have to project out what I'm gonna earn on the entire year to see what the actual tax rate should be my actual tax rate that I'm gonna use to calculate my estimated tax payments


Let's explore the VI characteristics of a solar cell. We've already seen solar cells are p-n junctions that convert light into electricity. And the way it works is when you shine light on a p-n junction, the photons that are absorbed in the depletion region cause electron hole pairs to be formed. And before they have time to recombine, electrons get accelerated towards the n-side, holes get accelerated towards the p-side. As a result we have electrons being accumulated on this side causing a negative charge on this side, holes get accumulated over here causing a positive charge on this side and as a result a potential difference is created. This is how solar cells convert light into voltage, photovoltaic effect. And we have talked about this in detail in our previous videos on the introduction to solar cells, working principles. So if you need more clarity, feel free to go back and check those out. But what we're going to do over here is draw an IV characteristics. So let's go ahead and do that. So we're going to do I along the y-axis, draw V along the x-axis and let's try and figure this out.  I used to find this very tricky, so let's do this slowly. The way I like to start is by thinking about open circuit. Let's start by not attaching anything. Okay. What's going to happen to the voltage as I keep shining light on it? That's what we want to think about. We know that as we shine light more and more electron hole pairs are formed and they get accumulated more and more over here and as a result, the voltage keeps increasing. But my question is, if I don't attach anything over here and I keep on shining light, would the voltage keep on increasing forever because more and more and more electron hole holes will get accumulated? Will it never stop? Will it keep on increasing? I want you to pause the video and think a little bit about it. What do you think is going to happen eventually? All right. Now as we shine light, more and more electron hole pairs are continuously generated and continuously swept and so they are continuously accumulated. But what's important to understand is that as more and more holes get accumulated on this side, it becomes harder for further more holes to come over here because these holes will start repelling these holes. The same thing is going to happen over here. As more and more electrons get accumulated, it becomes harder and harder for even more electrons to get accumulated. It becomes, they go slower, think of it as they become slower and slower and slower. Slower and slower and slower. Eventually there will come a point where so many holes are accumulated over here that when this hole tries to go over here, it gets repelled completely and comes back. Similarly, when this electron tries to go over here, it gets repelled and turns back. And as a result, these electron holes will come back to the diffusion region.  And so we'll reach a point where there are so much of accumulated charges that electron holes are no longer able to get swept. And so they basically will come back and keep destroying. And so we have now reached a point, another equilibrium point, where the voltage will no longer increase. We have now reached a maximum voltage, right? And so we're going to start plotting. Let's plot that over here. So where should I plot this? I know at this stage, current is zero. So on the current axis, we're going to get zero. And I have some voltage, in fact, maximum voltage. But is that voltage positive or negative? Well, remember, P is positive. When P is connected to positive, we call this forward bias. And forward bias is taken as a positive voltage, right? So our graph is going to be positive voltage, but zero current. So it's going to be somewhere over here, right? And we call this voltage voltage of open circuit, OC. Because there is no circuit over here, this open. And this is the maximum voltage you can ever get. And what does this voltage really depend on? Does it depend upon the intensity of light? Well, sure it does, but not much. You can see, even if I increase the intensity of light or decrease the intensity of light, after that saturation has reached, no more electron hole pairs will be able to be swept across. With more light, I will get more electron hole pairs, sure. But they will still just come back and recombine. So this value doesn't depend much on light, but this depends on the construction, actually. If I make this longer, I will be able to accumulate even more charges and have even more voltage. So anyways, this is our open circuit voltage. Now let's think about what happens when we close this circuit. And here what I like to do is start by thinking about a short circuit, so no resistance. So let's say we completely shorted. Okay, again, what do you think is going to happen? There is a path now, and there is no resistance. You pause the video and think about what's going to happen and try to plot this point again on this circuit, on this graph. So pause the video and give this a try. All right, so now because there's a path available and there's absolutely no resistance, all these accumulated electrons, there's no reason for them to stay accumulated. All of those accumulated electrons will start flowing through this wire and they will start destroying or not destroying, think of it, destroying, yeah. And recombining with the holes over here. And so all the holes will be gone. And we'll now reach a point where for every electron and hole that is formed, the moment an electron hole is formed, they experience no repulsion anymore because there are no accumulated charges anymore. And as a result, they are freely, they're able to freely go through. And so I'll now have a very high current. And guess what? Because no more accumulated charges, no more voltage. So there'll be no potential difference across the two ends. Does that make sense? Well, if you think about it kind of makes sense, right? Because we know in a short circuit, because there is no resistance, there cannot be a potential difference across it. But logically also now, hopefully it makes sense that because there are no accumulated charges, there will be no potential difference now. So at this point in a short circuit, we'll have zero voltage and we'll have a very high current. So the question now is, is this a positive current or negative current? Remember, our forward current is taken as positive and forward current is from P to N. Which direction is this current? Well, the electrons are flowing from P to N, meaning the current is in the opposite direction. So the current is this way. Inside the current direction is from N to P. And so this is a negative current. So let's plot that on the graph now. We have zero voltage, but we'll have a negative current. So it'll be somewhere over here. And this is what we call the short circuit current. And again, this will be the maximum current I can ever get. The reason for that is because this is the only possible case where I have no accumulated charges, so no repulsion. And because of that, I get the maximum current over here. All right, what does this current depend on? Well, this current purely depends on the amount of light that is falling. Think about it, if 100 photons are falling, are being absorbed, I will have 100 electron pairs being created per second. And I'll have 100 electrons flowing over here per second. If I double that number, automatically, this number will double. And so the current is completely governed by light. If I double the light intensity, this current will increase. If I get rid of that light, the current will go to zero. There'll be no current, makes sense, right? Okay, now let's think about what happens in between. You can kind of think that the graph has to go from here to here, but let's try to do this logically. If I want to get a case in between, I need to consider a resistance somewhere in between. This was open circuit, infinite resistance. This is short circuit, zero resistance. So let's try to put in some resistance now, non-zero resistance. So let's say I put in a very tiny resistance over here. Very tiny. So I'm gonna show it this way, very tiny resistance. What's gonna happen? Again, I want you to pause first and think a little bit about this. All right, let's see. Now, since there is some resistance over here, when current flows through a resistance, or at least think of it this way, for current to flow through a resistance, there needs to be a potential difference. And how do we get a potential difference here? The potential difference can only happen if there are some accumulated charges, right? So now it's gonna happen to push the current through this resistance. Some electrons will get accumulated over here. Some holes will get accumulated over here. That will cause the, that will provide the required potential difference. And now once the potential difference is established, current can keep flowing. And notice, because there are some accumulated charges, these electrons will experience some repulsion. These holes will experience some repulsion. And immediately as a result, you can now see the current will reduce a little bit. So the current now is going to be a little less than the short circuit current. And now we have some positive voltage. So if you want to plot this, where would it be? I have some positive voltage, very little. I have current which is little less than the short circuit current. So it's gonna be somewhere over here. And so my graph is gonna look somewhere over here. All right, what if I increase that resistance a little bit more? So I'm gonna increase that resistance a little bit more. What's gonna happen? If I have more resistance, I require more voltage to pass current through it. And so to get more voltage, more charges get accumulated. The potential difference increases even more. And as the potential difference increases, the repulsion increases. And as a result, the charges slow down, the charge flowing down. And so what happens to my current? The current reduces even more. So you can see where we're going with this. As I increase the resistance, the voltage starts increasing, the current starts reducing. And so hopefully you can now see what happens to our graph. The graph is gonna look somewhat like this. So this is the graph of the solar cell. Before we conclude, I just want to go a little bit beyond just this quadrant, this fourth quadrant, because this will help us look at the, you know, of photo diodes in general. Bigger picture we'll get to see. So let's come back to this point, the short circuit. So let me just get rid of this and put a short circuit over here. Let's get rid of all of this. Remember what happened in short circuit? In short circuit, we said there's not gonna be zero voltage. There'll be no voltage whatsoever. And all the electron holes that are formed immediately start flowing, giving us a maximum current, right? Okay, what if I want to go beyond this point? What if I want to go towards the left? How do I do that? I need to somehow put a negative voltage. There's no way I can get a negative voltage on a solar cell. So a solar cell can't do that. But what if I attach a battery and reverse bias it? Then I will get a negative voltage, right? And now if I do that, I will still keep getting the same current because the current purely depends upon light. And so if I go beyond this, I'll keep getting the same current. And you may have seen this before. This is our photodiode. Now, in this region, this is acting like a photodiode. I have reverse biased it and I'm getting that same maximum current. All right, how do I go beyond this point? Well, to go beyond this point, I need to get a positive current. There's no way my solar cell can give me a positive current. To do that, I have to forward bias my diode by adding a battery. So if I do that, I add a positive here, negative here. And if I do that, I will not forward bias and I'll start getting a positive current. And if I do that, I will get a forward current. It looks like this. Does this graph look familiar to you? It should because this looks very similar to the normal PN graph, PN junction graph, VI characteristics that we have seen before. Only difference is it was upwards. So the normal PN graph was somewhat like this. At zero voltage, I get zero current and then this is what we got. So notice this means when you shine light on a PN junction, you shift that entire graph down. The more light you shine, the more you shift it down.
