Yeah, you're going to get picked first, nigga.
Seth Curry, don't matter what you do, you're the best shooter of all time, you're going to get picked. Yeah. Acting's different because you can be the best actor of all time and then somebody be like, oh, but you know, he a little darker though.
Seth Curry, don't matter what you do, you're the best shooter of all time, you're going to get picked. Yeah. Acting's different because you can be the best actor of all time and then somebody be like, oh, but you know, he a little darker though.
I like his swag a little bit more.
I like his swag a little bit more.
They do. So your mind is, like, man, hopefully I get this. So basically, back to your question, like, I auditioned for it. And immediately, three days later, Kim Coleman, shout out Kim Coleman. She's the best. She loved my audition. And she was like, yo, I want Julian to come to L.A. to do the in-person auditions.
They do. So your mind is, like, man, hopefully I get this. So basically, back to your question, like, I auditioned for it. And immediately, three days later, Kim Coleman, shout out Kim Coleman. She's the best. She loved my audition. And she was like, yo, I want Julian to come to L.A. to do the in-person auditions.
That happened on a Thursday. I want you to stay with me right here. I want you to stay with me. That happened on a Thursday. They want me to come to L.A. next Thursday. Next Thursday. So, I got the message from my agent. Like, Kim Coleman loves me. They want you to fly out next Thursday. It's Wednesday. Next Wednesday now. Six days have passed. And I ain't got no flight information. Nothing.
That happened on a Thursday. I want you to stay with me right here. I want you to stay with me. That happened on a Thursday. They want me to come to L.A. next Thursday. Next Thursday. So, I got the message from my agent. Like, Kim Coleman loves me. They want you to fly out next Thursday. It's Wednesday. Next Wednesday now. Six days have passed. And I ain't got no flight information. Nothing.
It is kind of crazy. Like, this is a show for the culture. And like I said, the reception has just been amazing. Everyone is watching it. The love I've been getting for playing a character. Mm-hmm. That's kind of bad.
So, I text my agent. I'm like, yo, bro, what's going on? Like, I'm supposed to be going to L.A. tomorrow. What's going on? I ain't got no flight information. I'm like, yeah. Sorry to tell you this, Julian, but...
That's cool, bro. I didn't give him blue balls, nigga. But okay. I said, okay. And that's okay. And as an actor, I've been doing this shit for almost 10 years now. I'm like, yeah, you know this. That's a part of the business. Like, you know you're not going to get every part. And you know that it's very fickle. This game is very fickle. Boom, boom, boom.
They make decisions out of fly, whatever, whatever. I bet. Next project. Man, I didn't think about it long enough. I bet. Next. I didn't even, like, I wasn't even sad over it, for real.
So, a week goes by. The next Wednesday, I'm literally in my basement. I know this shit for a fact. I get emotional talking about this shit. An agent hits me and sends me a picture of what Kim Coleman sent him and said, is Julian still available? So I'm like, bro, what's going on? I thought I didn't get the part. And it was like, nah, bro, they asking if you're still available or not.
So I'm like, what's going on? What's going on, nigga?
Not likable, but it's like I get a lot of love. It's weird.
Right, yeah. This is a huge part.
Exactly. This is a huge-ass part. So I'm like, did I get it? Like, bro, what are you talking about? I left this shit. I left it alone. Because I said I killed the audition.
i left it alone like bro it is what it is next one and now you're telling me i have a chance again he's like bro are you available i'm not done because you say it now so so he says i'm available whatever and then like another two days go by and then my agent's like so i just got off the phone with kim coleman and uh they're gonna make the decision in the next two days
Okay, okay, cool, nigga, bet. So day one goes by, nothing. Day two goes by, nothing. Day three goes by, nothing. All right, I didn't get it again. These niggas just fuck with me.
That's cool. I'm leaving it alone. A week goes by again, nothing. So I remember this specifically. I remember my manager at the time, he called me and was like, yo, bro, like, you going to do this, uh, I had another audition for Netflix. It was like Emily in Paris or something like that. He's like, you going to do this audition? I was like, yeah, bro, I'm going to do it, bro. Like, yeah, I got it.
And that was in the morning. He called me at 10 in the morning. I'm chilling with my fam and stuff at like 7 o'clock at night. He calls me again. I'm thinking he's calling me about the audition again because I haven't done it yet. And I like ignore it because I'm like, bro, I'm going to get to the audition. I'm going to do it. But he texts me. He's like, bro, call me ASAP.
So I'm like, all right, man, I'll call him. I'm like, what's up, bro? He's like, bro, I have Rod on the phone, who's my agent. So Rod and Tina are my agents. James is my manager at the time. Me and him, we're not together no more, but he's still my brother. We're not together no more. But he calls me. We're Rod on the phone. He's like, bro, I didn't want to, like, startle you or anything.
I didn't want to, like, get your hopes up or anything. But so basically— I'm on the phone with Netflix lawyers right now. So I'm like, what are you talking about, nigga? Because I'm thinking I didn't get the part.
And he's like, so I didn't want to like... They're moving really kind of slow right now. I know we said we're going to get the part in the next two days, but it didn't happen like that. They're taking more time than usual. I'm on the phone with Netflix lawyers and basically doing like a background check on you to see if you can be Roy. So I'm like...
Yeah, we know about the background check. We do. I know this is a long story, too. I'm sorry about that. Just start celebrating. No, no, no. I'm a little lit, too, right now. No, that's what I was going to say. That's how we know you're... I feel like I've been talking for two hours. I like you. Right. I'm so sorry about this. No, no, no. God forgive me. Lord, Jesus Christ.
A movie. Exactly.
You're painting the picture very well.
I appreciate you. So he's like, I'm on the phone with the Netflix lawyers right now. I didn't want to startle you. I just wanted to handle business and then present the opportunity to you, Julian. So I'm like, what do you mean you're on the phone with Netflix lawyers? And he's like, I'm on the phone with Netflix lawyers. That's all I can tell you.
And in the next couple hours, they should be making the decision.
They're not going to waste their time. That is true. And then my manager at the time, James Trace, he was like, yo, bro, no name. Every time you do background checks, it means you usually got that.
I'm not trying to get your hopes up. You usually got it. So I'm like, bro, I'm not getting my hopes up at all. This whole fucking process has been hell.
I'm not getting my hopes up at all.
Someone's calling me. I said, it better not be my mom. It better not be my father.
And then all my agents on the phone, Ron, Tina, and James, my manager and my agents, Julian, you there? I'm like, you called me. I answered, yeah, I'm here. I'm here. We just wanted to tell you, you got the part.
I can almost cry thinking about it right now. I praise God and just like walk to my, because I go to when, no, I'm not telling the niggas at the gym I go to. I go to the gym.
Exactly, exactly, exactly. Get Tyler. I go to this gym. I just walk around because they have a track there and I just, I prayed for like an hour.
Talking like, We did it. We did it. Because I knew this show, I was like, this is the game changer.
I've been acting for nine years. And it's crazy. I played football. It's so weird. And it's like, I had this whole journey. So if you really think about it, I've been on this journey for 26 years. Right. I'm like, Finally.
Netflix? Series regular?
He overpays, too, because he wants to take care of people. Yeah. I got so much respect for that man. People talk a lot of shit here and there. They say this and whatever, whatever. But it's like, he takes care of his people.
And he makes sure. You just make sure you're straight. Because me and TP, we don't have like a crazy... That's how you know y'all are cool. I know. Me and TP. But we don't even... Because some of the actors, they talk to him more and have his number and talk and text. Me and TP don't even talk like that.
But when I come on that set, he knows I'm about the business.
He knows that. He even says, like, Dylan, you be walking around intimidating yourself. I'm like, I don't mean to be intimidating, but it's like, I think it's the athlete in me. It's like, when I come on that set, I'm here to do a job and be the best. I'm not here to just, like, act. And I say that a lot on a lot of podcasts. Like, I want to be the best. Like, I love this craft.
I love this craft so much because it's therapeutic, it's meditative, and... You get to be a different version of yourself while still being yourself. Right, right. And it's just amazing. These cameras and you get to paint a story and it allows you to be present for real. It really does. Like, that's brilliant. And you're acting fake. Make believe. No, it's not. When I'm in the scene...
Yeah. So like I've always had it in my head. I got to do something big.
You can't tell me I'm not Roy.
I'd really be feeling, like, I got to get out of it. Like, oh, shit. And it doesn't take me a lot to get out of it, but it's like, when I'm in it, I'm present. I can teach you to be present like crazy, and it's amazing. Yeah.
Netflix does a great job with that because even with Paradise, it's a great show.
That show right there.
Gosh. Oh, my. I mean, Sterling K. Brown.
God gave me a vision. God gave me a dream. And I just knew that I couldn't let life happen to me. I got to freaking make what I want out of life, basically. You know what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, it's like football was great. I loved the sport. It was an amazing time, a grueling time, a learning time. I learned a lot of lessons playing football. I played it for 17 years.
It's so good. He... That show... Because I think... The great thing about Netflix is, like, it's the number one streaming service right now. Right. So anything that goes to Netflix, people are going to watch it.
There's a lot of great shows on other networks. Apple TV.
Hulu. And there's always a couple shows that get out of that, like, box and be worldwide with it. And I think Paradise is one of those shows.
Because I kept seeing people talk about Paradise. Paradise. Man, let me just see what this is about. James Marsden. I love talking about acting. I'm sorry.
He's so, like, charismatic. He's just, man, he's just.
Yeah, he really, like, James Marsden is, like, I like, and the thing about it, I really appreciate this conversation, by the way, because I know this is, like, this is some nerdy shit, because I love talking. We love movies, though.
Because, like, he was Cyclops, and I was, like, 10 years old.
Watching them as Cyclops. Come on now, X-Men.
Exactly. So he's Cyclops. And this is back when we first seen Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the bar.
That's like the first X-Men shit we seen. And to see James Marsden, I always liked him. I was like, he just... And he was in The Notebook and shit like that. But he's always had this charismatic approach to his roles. And I like people like that. He's just likable.
And then you put Sterling K. Brown with him. And paradise. And it filtered in to the whole world. Everyone's watching it. But you have to wait every week for it, though.
That's the sensible part. I called in late, and I saw, like... seven episodes in it. So I got it on late, so I got to see it back to back to back.
Like, that, that is, can I drink this real quick?
Let me say something. First and foremost, I love my castmates, my co-stars. I love them eternally. What you said is so important for the success of the show. That is, actually, I got to, yeah, I got to, y'all are fucking amazing. I got to keep saying that. Thank you.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, I get to do this. My life is amazing. But it's like. It's different from Uber, huh?
Way different. This is incredible. I have to talk on it. Got you a little drained. Exactly. Three o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday. It's great. But that is such a great topic and great, like, speaking point because, like, people don't know about that. People watch shows, like, oh, this show is great. This is amazing. They don't really know what goes into it.
Me and Steven, first time I met him, who plays Charles.
17 from 7 years old to 24. But I always knew that, like, I was more of a – Person that was just good at football. Football didn't make me. It wasn't my identity.
Comes to the set with his boombox and, like... Period. I'm like, this nigga right here is different. I'm kidding, nigga. I'm energy, too, but I'm, like, different, though. I'm not the boombox guy. He's like, what's poppin'? That's stupid. He always, like, what's poppin'? You know, and he's just playing for it in the way he is. I'm like, this guy is funny.
And from the get, I was like, you know, we're brothers in the show. Yeah, nigga, I know. Yeah. And we just... Off rip.
Off rip. And we were cool from day one. And that really helped our energy on screen. It really helped it. Crystal Stewart?
I could cry about her.
That dog. Crystal Stewart. She's special. I have like a special... I almost get emotional talking about her. I know that sounds crazy, but it's like she... is one of the most special people I've ever met in my life. She is the GOAT. Crystal Stewart is the GOAT. Like, because it's crazy, because I filmed on a Saturday, my first scene. And they had already been filming the whole week.
You know, because, you know, acting is different. Everyone's scheduling and everything. Locations are different. I filmed on a Saturday and I filmed my first scene. I did it. And then we had to like go to this other location that was like two hours away to film this scene, which we didn't even film.
So we like drove in Maine, but it wasn't in Maine because me and Crystal, we knew that we were playing husband and wife. We haven't really got to talk that much yet. We knew we're playing husband and wife. But that two-hour ride, we just got to know each other.
And we talked about everything. And I mean everything. And it was like, she was like, oh, my gosh. Like, I didn't know you were like this. Because when people see me, they probably think I'm going to act differently than I am. Yeah. People are like, he big and he buy a jacket and some shit.
But I'm really a goofball. Yeah. And I don't take life serious at all. Because the only thing you got to take serious in life is doing good for God, your career, your family. Yeah. And that's really it. Everything else is a bonus. We're having fun, nigga. We all leave this earth one day to have fun. So that's how I lived my life. And she was like, I didn't know your life. This is crazy.
See, a lot of athletes and a lot of people, they make sports their identity. I'm Julian Horton.
And we bonded for those two hours. And next thing you know, we're like this. And ever since then, we've been like this. So that is pivotal and crucial for the success of the show. Yeah.
She's so sweet.
I can get emotional talking about these people because it's like such a life-changing thing that's happened in my life. So it's so funny because you have the, I think, the young actors. And it's like two groups. Young actors. Me, Charles, a.k.a.
And at the end of the day, God's given me a lot of talent, a lot of gifts, and I have to maximize what God has given me. See, the thing about it is this. God gifts us life.
Rico Ross, who plays Horace.
Malik Whitfield, who plays Jules. Debbie Morgan plays my mom. Richard Lawson.
So it's like, he's like two different groups. Debbie Morgan is crazy because she was on that one show. Who knows the show? Who knows the show? Who knows the show out there? What show does he play on again? Let me look. He's playing a show. It's like an old show my mom used to watch.
All my children. Boom, boom, boom. All my children. So my mom's like, oh my God, you get to play with Devin Morgan. I loved all my children. And then in love and basketball, playing the mother who was like, you know, you working and shit. Exactly. I remember. So seeing her doing all these things and then she gets to be my mom. Priceless.
She has. She has. And Miss Debbie is so sweet. She's so kind. You know what I like to do? I like hanging out with the old heads.
I don't even try to call them old heads. But, like, Richard Lawson is funny. Richard Lawson fucks with me.
Gifts us life. We all have life right now. but our gift back to God is what do we do with the gifts that he's given us? So for me, it's like, it was like, because people ask me, I wanted a chance just in football to act. How was it? It was seamless because I knew that I wanted to do acting at a young age. I know I wanted to do music at a young age. I know I wanted to do sports at a young age.
Because I always... Love hanging out with the old heads. They invite me to dinner, the rest of the cast won't go. I'll go. I need to hear it. The stories.
The energy, the essence of these people. I need to be around it because at the end of the day, it's like, bro, when I look at Malik Whitfield, man, man, man, man, I can get out of here and fucking cry and get emotional. My fucking father was fucking crazy. would make me and my brother, at seven years old, perform all the Temptations songs. Beauty's only skin deep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah. You can go... It's so many songs these Temptations did. So, my dad would make me perform this shit when I was six or seven. Nervous as fuck. In front of people, randomly. Perform the Temptations. Do it now.
I see that now. I love that. I love it. I think my dad used to give me anxiety because he was so fucking an asshole. But the thing about it, it's like, he would make me perform these songs, and Otis was huge in The Temptations. So Malik Whitfield, he's been acting for so long. So when I saw he was a part of the cast, I'm like, Otis, this is crazy. Mm-hmm.
And to see now our relationship... Because we were cool from day one. I told him, I said, Mr. Woodfield, I just want to tell you, man, I revere you, bro. I revere you. I got to give you your flowers. You're one of the greatest actors I've ever seen. I respect you so much. Temptations is one of my favorite movies. And he loved that. And we're super cool. I think...
Everybody, I think me and Malik, he's like my uncle almost now. Older brother type shit. You know what I'm saying? We're super cool, and I love him, and he's so great. And so to work with Debbie Morgan and to work with Malik Whitfield and Richard Lawson and to be around these people that have been in the industry for so long. I get emotional thinking about it because it's like, it's greatness.
They've had to endorse so many things. They've seen the 70s and the 80s and the 60s when things weren't like really as open and as dope as it is now. You know what I'm saying? They had to fight. And with Tyler, what he's doing for black artists and black actors and actresses is priceless.
It's so funny you say that, because I was always wondering. I said, why? Because me... My dream is I want to be like Will Smith, movie star.
I want to be the biggest actor in the world, which I still do. And that's my dream. And I was always wondering, I was like, why do people just like stay at the Tyler Perry land though? They don't want to venture out to other things.
Now I see. Yeah. Oh. Keeps niggas employed. Niggas paid.
And niggas on front of your TV. And it's really hard out here. This acting shit is hard. Yeah. I'm not going to lie to you. Even, like, while I'm doing Beauty in Black, auditions haven't been coming in like that.
Because this is the thing. Once you do a show like this, it gets tougher. Because now, all the things you're doing is, like, everything has to be top notch.
I had three things. There was three. It's kind of like common too, because it's like, Niggas want to act, niggas want to do music, niggas want to do, you know, sports.
You got to stay here. Now that... opportunities are few in between because all the greats and all the great actors are going for one part. Right. So it makes it harder. So I understand now why people stay with TP because it's like, yo, TP going to keep me employed.
He going to keep me paid. I ain't got to work six months out of the year. Yeah. Y'all going to do it in a week. It's more like you get this much amount of money, you get so much money, and then it's like, all right, go enjoy your year.
I saw one dude's Instagram one time.
No, no, no, no. It wasn't like that. It was just like, it was just a different. A different vibe. It was so different. It was like, it was different, but shout out to him, though.
But I said, no, those are the three things I'm doing. Those are... I am going to make a lot of money doing one of those three things. Yeah. So after football had ended, I did music a little bit too, a little bit, but I knew that, like, acting... It could get me over the top. It can make me a career. It can make me a lot of money because I knew I could do it well because I knew I'm a character.
I love this. Y'all are so beautiful, bro.
I can't get this out of my head.
I'm a vulnerable guy. I'm a very emotional guy.
I'm not a super machismo. What's that word? Machismo? I'm not that type of nigga. I don't give a fuck. I'm very in tune with my emotions.
Sagittarius. Oh, girl. Exactly. Exactly.
Leo. Leo, what are you?
April. April 28th?
So you want to go at it.
I love being a cuspy. And what's your birthday?
That's how I am. I'm December 12th. December 12th. 12, 12, J-12. There you go.
J-12, J-Miss birthday bash. We threw one. Crazy ass party. It's top three to this day.
Coming from Craigslist.
It was like a Project X party.
Like, yo, bro, I heard everybody's party on Craigslist. I said, bro, you came with four guys. There's no girls with you.
I'm the same way. Because people are like, I don't believe that Zodiac shit. Like, well...
I'm like, okay, so the horoscope thing, okay, I don't believe that this shit knows your future. I believe in God and Yeshua. But like you just said, the foundation and the base level of things, it becomes too accurate.
If I can transition and like formulate this energy that I have that God's given me, I can make a career out of this. And that's what I did. And it took patience. It took a lot of hard work. But by the grace of God, we're here now.
Because I think some signs, obviously there's like surface level shit like... I like peace. Everyone likes peace, nigga.
But when it comes to sages and, like, freedom and fun and, like, philosophical and kind of blunt and... I'm like... Every nigga I met kind of is like that, though.
I'm telling you. Some people are like, it's fake. It's fake. I saw that Kieran Culkin was saying that.
When he was with Coleman Domingo, an actress and an actress, it's like, is it actually fake? I'm like, bro, I don't know, bro. It's just... It's pretty accurate.
Because the thing about it, I didn't know about this shit until my ex-girlfriend, who I'm not even going to say her fucking name, but she was like, you're such a sag. You're such a sag, nigga. I was like, what the fuck does that mean? This is like when I was in college. You're just so, such a sag. And then I looked up Sash, like, the foundation of it and, like, the characteristics. Mm-hmm.
You know, freedom, love, open, honest, life with a body.
A couple good times, and that does kind of sound like me. A lot of energy. She was a Capricorn. And we sucked.
Capricorn is so like... No shade. My homeboys are Capricorn. They cool. But the girl Capricorn... And it might be cool for another nigga, not for me.
She was mad at me because, like, you think you're a free spirit, nigga? I'm like, yeah, I'm free.
I'm free. I can live life. So my thing was, like, I looked at the worst compatible signs.
And numero uno on the list, Sagittarius Capricorn. They hate the freedom of a Sagittarius. They're pessimistic and realistic. And I'm just like, is anyone with Capricorns here? No one's Capricorns? No. Thank God. At the end of the day, so, so, so, so. I'm going crazy. But it's like, it was literally describing the problems we're facing in real time. And that's when I was like,
Maybe there is some truth to the Zodiac show. Because this is my theory. I always think of it like God made it on some shit like, yeah, if you're in this category, you're this way. You're in this category, you're this way. If you're born this day, you're this way. Because like... God could do it because he's the creator. He's the Alpha and Omega.
He couldn't make everyone, like, personally just different, different, different. But I think he's, like, putting niggas under, like, categories. Like, yeah, you're Sagittarius, y'all free. Libra, you're this way. And Capricorn, you're this way. And go find the niggas that mess with you and mess with you for real.
They do. Yeah. Because you know it's a positive and a negative thing. And it's like, because you know fire and air, Post a match.
And if you think about the elements, it makes sense. So if you think about fire, it's burning. The bush is burning. What makes fire spread? Air. Wind. It's everywhere now. Oh, fuck. Exactly, because I need that. I need someone to be like, you can be yourself.
To be honest with you, because I love I'm a poor mind right now. I love it. I'm me. I don't care.
And what puts out fucking fire?
That's all I'm saying.
Cameras, cameras, cameras. They do that.
Okay. Ain't a lot to see, though. One more time. One more time.
Sagittarius do love their freedom, though.
I'm about to cry.
I know. I know. I can't.
Donald was just... He's always kind of just been like a bragging point for me. But he wasn't the reason why I got into acting, though. I think it was more so... I loved it. I loved this craft. I think I have an appreciation for true talent. True talent. I think today, I think there's so many people getting famous and so many people making money doing things that are talentless.
No. I wouldn't do it because I'm too trill of a nigga.
Yeah. Okay. Trill, real, whatever.
Too trill, whatever.
No, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I just, I don't give a fuck. I just don't give a shit.
Now, you know what really keeps... Never mind. Keep going.
No, no, no. I wouldn't... knock anyone for doing that because I definitely understand the objective behind it and the principle behind it because it does work. Yeah. Marriage is a business anyway, though. And the media.
Media makes people fucking famous for real.
Because that's... You know what's crazy? I always, like, go into different fucking topics.
You know what's crazy? I am, like, calling myself... I hate calling myself a celebrity or famous. I don't like saying that.
This notable shit that's happened to me, I'm still me. And I do, like, dumb shit. And I don't make my bed sometimes. And it's like... You're so wild. I'm messy. You don't make your bed. Exactly. I'm messy sometimes. And I'm broken. And all this shit. And I think that, like... I don't even know what fucking I wanted to do with this because that jack just said, fuck you, nigga. Damn.
You know what I'm saying?
And I have an appreciation for old Hollywood. I have an appreciation for it because it's like... A respect that went into old Hollywood. Just Hollywood, period. Especially with black actors. I've just seen that number one on the call sheet. The thing on Apple TV. I respect those guys. Denzel's, the Jamie's, the Will's, the Morgan Freeman's, the Lawrence Fishburne's. I respect those guys.
Definitely. You wouldn't? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, yeah, I don't think I'd have to do the PR.
I couldn't do it because, like, I'm too, like, this is the thing about me, and this is why I want to promote. Realness.
I hate celebrity culture. I hate it. I hate this shit. I really do.
Because... Like I just said, media and people have elevated certain people to a certain stratosphere and a certain fucking... I can't even think of the word I'm looking for. But anyway, a certain stratosphere. And...
Yeah. My thing is this, and this is the truth. I'm not perfect. I'm a sinner. I make mistakes. But when I say God's the greatest, I mean that. And I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. Me and God talk. We talk. And I say, I know I'm doing this right now. I got to get better. I know I do. But it's like, I have this reverence for G-O-D and Yeshua that's so high that, like, we're all...
We're all just the fucking same. We are. I always say this. Fuck it. We're on poor minds. Right. If a nigga came in here right now with a gun, I know this is so stupid to say, and I'm not trying to be like that.
We'd all be gone.
No one's Hancock. No one's Superman.
Yo, no one's Superman. No one's Batman. No one's Flash. No one is all these people. So that's why I be like... I want to promote realness as best as I can.
So it's like, that's why I'm with the people.
That's why I'm at Frontier Airlines 29C in the back near the bathroom.
I was. It went viral. My nigga Jason Bobbitt. Shout out my nigga Jason Bobbitt. I shout out TMO. My brothers, Tim Sanders, Jason Bobbitt, Max Tangy, B-Co, B... David, who I'm missing, who I'm missing, Paul Dawson, Bo Abare, Bo Abare. Y'all should have got a P.J. at this point. Deontay Davis, Fly Jet King, Jerry Mitchell. Shout out everybody.
Yeah, we do. But my thing is like this. I am here with the people, and I am here to be real. I don't give a shit about none of this shit. I am just utilizing what God's giving me and maximizing it. That's it. That's my gift back to God. I have to do it because I can live a great life. I have great support around me. So my thing is like, I just have to do it.
But I don't care about the... The image. I don't give a fuck.
You're a great actor.
You're a great football player. You're a great beat maker. Damn, J-12, you made this beat.
J-12. Okay, J-12. J-12 made that beat. Damn, Julian, you can really act.
Damn, nigga, you are a great football player. You score touchdowns. Damn, you can hoop, nigga. You know why I take pride in that? Because God gave me that.
God gave me that. All this other shit. I still drive the same fucking car. Oh, now that's me to a T. I ain't got no new car.
Yeah, that ain't me. My thing is like, I don't care. But you know, Reverse psychology is a thing. It is. It helps me when more people love me because of that. Because it's like, I'm just being myself. I don't care about the chains. I don't care about the jewelry.
Like, I really, truly respect those guys because it's like they took a dream, they manifested it, and they made it happen.
I wore this shit for the last six months. Okay. I've been taking these chains off. They come in the shower with me. They come in the bed with me. They come everywhere with me.
They do. You can't tell. I can't tell. That's my fucking point. That's a good point.
No one gives a fuck.
And it's just like... I've always just wanted to do that. So with Donald, he made it happen. He's been famous since I was born.
Because I'm going to tell you right now... Camera, who got me? I can fly private.
I can buy a Cybertruck. I can buy a Lambo. I can buy all that shit. Right. I can buy it all. I don't give a fuck.
Because at the end of the day, it's like, where am I going to go?
I dropped my daughter off at school and I fucking went to the gym. I'm going to buy a $200 car for what?
To impress who? I don't care. So I'm going to drive my 2015 shit that's paid for that has 100,000 plus miles on it. Right. And if you can't fuck with me because of that, then I don't want you anyway.
That's the point.
Agreed. And I don't care.
They don't care at all. Because my thing is this. My energy and aura and my personality, what God's given me is enough.
He's been active since 1993, I think.
Because, you know, when it's all said and done, I'm going to release a memoir. Everything else is a bonus. Period. Everything else is a bonus. Yeah. There's a couple things that need to get done. God, when I was four years old, I told myself, You need to believe in God, you need to take care of your family, and you need to maximize what God's given you. I'm 33 years old. I went to NFL.
It wasn't that long. I went there.
Like six months.
Like a bad relationship. Not like a bad relationship. Six months. I played in the SEC. I played against Florida, Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Georgia. All the teams that I looked at when I was younger coming up and played on NCAA football when I was playing, I played against them. I went to their stadiums. I did it. I wanted to be an actor. I did it. I made music. I did it.
So that was the thing. I was like 10 years old. Yeah, I remember the Titans. Football, sir. Football. That's my cousin. But the dream's always been in me before that, though. I didn't have to see that happen to make me go and want to get that. It's just added on to it even more. Because me and Donald, we talk. But Donald is, you know, Donald's Donald, man. He be doing his thing.
So it's like, I'm 33 years old and I did it. Everything else is a bonus now.
Everything else is a bonus.
Grace of God. God is the greatest. So it's like, That's why I have the mentality. If I didn't have this mentality, I wouldn't do this shit. I live for other people or I fucking cared about tangible things and materialistic things. I couldn't get shit done. I don't give a fuck. All my friends know that. They're like, Julian, favorite quote. I don't give a fuck. I don't.
Themselves, yeah.
This is who I am.
That's literally it.
That's it. That's it. So... Go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, my bad, my bad, my bad. It's okay.
Y'all are beautiful as shit. Thank you. This is a good conversation. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. B.E.A. Beautiful. Jim Carrey shit. Bruce Almighty. Y'all seen that? Okay.
B.E.A. Beautiful. That's what it could come with, nigga.
Oh, yeah, shit.
You're fine to do that.
I need another shot.
Black women are the best in the world, though.
Y'all are so beautiful. I just can't.
Take that other bullshit, that Tourette shit I just did out. It's okay. What the fuck are you doing?
Exactly. I'm weird.
I know I'm weird. Shout out to Shay and his motherfuckers.
That's definitely going to happen.
I literally just saw that today. Yes.
I'm out. You couldn't do a PR relationship with me, though. Yeah, y'all couldn't do that. Why? Y'all going to fall in love.
Y'all going to fall in love because I'm a real nigga. I believe that. And it's like, you're going to have fun. Fun, fun, fun.
It's going to be hilarious. You're going to love my friends. Oh, my gosh, I like being a part of this. And at the end of the day, you're going to have fun, and it's going to be so fucking great. We're going to learn about God more. We're going to meditate some more. We're not going to do the fucking shit that everyone does, the tangible shit.
We're going to learn about real, deep, personable human shit. And that's when you get, that's when you really get people, though, because being yourself. And you're going to laugh.
That's what I think.
Yeah, well, funny. Keep going.
But the thing about it is, like, I didn't ask Donald for nothing.
I didn't. I didn't ask. And the thing about it, his mother, Aunt Shirley. Shout out Aunt Shirley.
She's a casting director and an agent in New York City.
Hey, I got something for y'all, though. I got something for y'all.
We're going to get into this?
I'm like a host, too.
We're going to get into this, but I got some world-exclusive shit for y'all, too.
No one helped me. It didn't help me. You know what Aunt Shirley told me? And this is exclusive. I ain't gonna lie to you. What'd she say? Aunt Shirley is hard body. She's trill. And I appreciate her for doing this. I asked her. I did it one time. No one even knows this because I haven't even said this on any podcast. I asked for help one time. Once. She said, that's your agent's job. Ooh.
It's coming. It's coming.
I got a homeboy named Man on a Mission, a.k.a. Tim Sanders.
See, this is the thing. I'm an actor, football player. Oh, man, he did this. I'm also a music producer.
And I have an artist I'm working with. We're a duo. And I have an engineer that's actually close to me that's here right now.
AWOL is my engineer.
AWOL is my engineer. Tim Sanders is the artist. And we got some shit.
That's why I take over the world. I'm telling you. Come on, AWOL. I have a lot to. By the grace of God, like we talked about, Tyler Perry films fast. So what does that mean? I have a lot of time. I have a lot of time. Okay. So that means I have a lot of time to do what I want and have money to fund what I want. And so at the end of the day, we come in... AWOL has an ear.
AWOL is... He's a goat.
He got a good ear. Nah, nah. You like me. Because, like, I'm very just... I'm particular.
Yes. Like, Tim, the artist I work with, he's here right now. Shout out to Tim Sanders. He's more like, let's do it, nigga. But I'm more like... Every frequency, every hertz, every sound, I hear it. Yeah. Because you do that when you're a producer. You listen to things. You just don't say, oh, yeah, just go do it. I think a lot of artists do that now.
I think it's like, yeah, when everything comes, first thing that comes to my mind, I'm doing it. It's like, bro, we want Drake has had such a long time in this industry. Kendrick, J. Cole, whatever. Really drizzy. They're cerebral.
You got to be cerebral in this shit. I think a lot of people just don't be cerebral. I just get it and go. It's like, bro, you got to take your time with this shit. And at the end of the day, AWOL does that. And I can tell y'all do that.
And I love that.
You have to. You know? You have to.
No, I don't say it's trash. Have you ever hyped up a woman's performance in bed even if it was mid?
You think about it. You want to talk about it. So it's like, it's more so like... I don't think a woman's performance in bed can be made. Because, like, I'm the leader. So it's going to go how I go. So it's really like... But... Head game can be mid.
So I know we're getting a little fucking freaky, but... It's the bed.
Head game can be mid, and I never fucking let anyone know that head game is mid. I'm really, really, really, really supportive.
And that's the family I come from, though. And I appreciate that because that same person that I wanted to get connected with, five years later, booked me on Beauty in Black.
I say, you know what? You're doing a great job. And this is some of the best shit I've ever gotten in my life.
This is how I do it. This is how you got to tell the truth in a fucking particular way.
You got to say, you're doing a great job.
I'm talking about this shit right here. It's fantastic. It's one of the fucking best I've ever gotten. But... In that voice?
And they're like, you're right. And they do it. I'm like, yes, I got what I wanted.
Niggas be like, no, you got to just fucking know how to finagle in there. Because, you know, head is the greatest thing ever. You can keep that, actually, because I got to tell people that.
Because the thing is, like, head is a signature thing. Sex is like...
Good pussy, good sex, you mean good pussy, good head?
Good pussy, good sex.
Yeah, but that's what I told you. Like, I'm so glad we're having this topic, because this is the real thing. If it's good... If you have good pussy, there's going to be good sex.
And it was just me. So it's like, my family is tough love.
She might be humped back.
But it feels good, though. I guess I control the situation. Because, like, if I'm doing some shit from the back, I'm going to make sure that shit is arched up in the way it needs to be to make sure it's good.
You can't even enjoy it. Y'all fighting back and forth. She's not going to do that, though. She's not going to do that. Because I'm going to say, if you do that again, it's over. Ooh. If you do that shit again, it's over.
No, you need to stop doing that. I don't like that. You need to fucking conform to what the fuck I'm saying right now. And most of the time, more times than not, they're going to fucking get in line. I'm a man, and I'm bigger, and they're going to be like, all right. They're going to listen. Whatever you want. And then if that place is good, it's actually going to be good. That's what I mean.
Donald Faison, tough love. It's like, and I didn't ask Donald for nothing because, and I still don't ask him for nothing. We watch each other's stories. We talk here and there, but we don't like talk about acting at all. And it's crazy because I really do Want to do something eventually. Mm-hmm. But it's also on some stuff like in this family, you got to prove it.
But writing is another topic because writing is, I think writing in head is signature shit. Meaning that like, damn, the way she wrote my shit, nigga. I ain't never had it like that. When she gave me a head, I ain't never had it like that. That's signature shit. But, like, you came in from the back, or you're doing missionary, or you have, like... Some shit is just a man's thing.
Like, you're in control. I can agree with that, yeah. You're fucking doing your shit, and if it's good pussy, it's gonna be good sex.
Well, I'll say... And if it's wet and it's good, I mean... A nigga ain't going, you know.
complimenting you you start feeling sexy so you start performing nah that's true so that's when the sex and the pussy gets good and it's an overall great experience that actually is facts because you know when you're like doing it and shit whatever whatever it's like you can like something turned up yeah cause she's feeling sexy the alchemy and the chemistry between them all it's like hold up
This shit is like... It's like tennis now.
Going back and forth, and this shit is perfect. No, you're right. I'm just saying, you're right.
That is true. Oh, I know. Gosh. I'm having thoughts in my head now. It's crazy. Never mind. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Hold on, Julian. I know. Slow it down. I know, I know. Slow it down now. Slow it down. Slow it down now. Slow it down now. But you're absolutely right.
Yeah. You have a great point because that shit has... I'm thinking about that shit now. No, you're right though because it's like... Like I said, something switches.
Something switches. Oh, shit.
Yeah, I had Shipley's.
I had Randy's Donuts.
Shout out to the twins, man.
Like, you have to know how to finagle. That's it.
You got to prove it. This family is a talent. I come from a talented family.
It does. How does a nigga upgrade that dick?
Talented family. So it's like, no one wants to, we ain't giving you handouts. You got to prove it.
So, you know, the way it's how they family, but I'm telling you, the Hortons and the Fasons, it's coming. I like that. You know what I'm saying? It's coming. I'm telling you, because it's like, Donald had his whole career, and it's like, people don't even know that I am his cousin.
That was goddamn Marla the King-ass. It was a word. I'm telling you. So that was fucking awesome.
I'm just being honest. Thank you. That was fucking wow.
We spilled some hot tea, though. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? We gave him an exclusive. My first cousin. That's my first cousin. First cousin, yeah. Those are my people. I love Donald, though.
And I'm like... Because the reason why I love this shit is because you made a great point.
So, some girls told me, like, nigga, his dick don't do this, whatever, whatever, whatever. And then some girls would tell, like, you just said, joy and sex is the best.
But it's like, it all depends on, like you said, the chemistry. Yeah. Because... As guys, you think our dicks are hard 100%? Not all the time.
It takes that special girl. It takes this moment. It takes the alchemy, the chemistry to make some shit be 100%. In the morning. Sometimes that shit going to be 70. And you might get 70%. And then you're going to be just like, yeah, his dick wasn't all that. But chick, it's like, yeah, you didn't do nothing. I did it just to do it.
It just happened.
Compared to that girl that's like, she's doing everything right. The chemistry's right. My shit's 100. You gotta care about that. The veins are bulging.
That shit's about to pop off my body.
Because it's so fucking engorged. It's like this. It's like this. And you're going to get the best shit now because it's that way. And I'm glad you talked on that because some girls in college talk shit.
But the dick ain't get hard because I put the condom on. Now I barely can fucking even do shit because I don't even feel nothing. Your shit's fucking dry as shit. See? Now we're fucking working out.
Take it out. Take it out. No, we leaving it. You got to let it out. So then you get a girl that's like, everything's perfect. The motherfucker is perfect. The fucking vibe's right. It's meditative. And it's like, now I'm 100%. And now she's getting the best shit ever. Now she's going to talk to her friend. Julian is that nigga. And you got someone else who's going to say, Julian sucks.
So when you said that, I really appreciate that.
I know. If I'm going national championship mode, come on.
Super Bowl mode.
If I'm going Super Bowl mode.
Yeah. I'm Jordan. I'm Brady. I'm Ali. Nigga, if I'm going that mode, stop playing. Stop playing. I agree, but that's what I'm saying. You have different modes, though.
Yeah, I'm going to plug them in. I'm...
Y'all fine as fuck.
Every girl in here fine as fuck.
Y'all are so wild.
We are. I'm having a great time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a pluggin' man, for sure. That's just how I am. That's who I am. I'm a pluggin' man, for sure.
I didn't cry. But, like, I'm just so, like... Y'all don't even understand.
I'm just so appreciative.
To be around just like, we all leave earth one day. We do. We do. So it's like, the fact that I get to live a life that like, once I do, because it's going to be a time, and I pray to God, I think I'm going to live until 103 years old. I would tell God I'm going to live until 103.
It's like when I'm on my deathbed and I'm old as fuck and I'm wrinkly and it's overweight, I can literally just say like, you let it all out. You left no stone unturned. So when I have a moment like this with y'all and y'all are beautiful as shit, it just adds to that. And that's why I'm just like, I have such a gratuitous spirit, gratitude spirit.
And I'm so, and I talk about God a lot, not because I'm perfect, but I think it's because he gave us the opportunity to do this.
I'm not perfect. I fuck up. And God knows I do. I'll be telling God, please have patience with me. I'm working.
Yeshua, I'm working. He knows my heart, though. And I'm not even trying to be like, he knows my hands. I'm going to do everything. No, I'm full of love. My foundation is full of love. My foundation is full of gratitude. But it's like, he gave us this opportunity. He literally did. That's why I talk about him. He gave us this opportunity.
If you think about it sometimes, God could have kept it just pitch black. And, like, there'd be nothing. There'd be no world. We wouldn't even know. There'd be no consciousness. You know what I'm saying? But instead, he gave us consciousness. He gave us the ability to do things and have opportunities for things. And when I sit with y'all, I just, like, I can't fathom it sometimes. I can't.
It could have been so fucking amazing. On a Wednesday afternoon, I can fucking come here with two beautiful women, talk my shit, talk with y'all, have my friends around.
But I know God has blessed me because I have this mindset. Yeah. Because he's like, he knows for a fact that, Julian is never going to get too ahead of himself because he's always going to never forget me. God knows that.
Because it's like, this life is hard.
I was... I don't even know, man. I was going to court for a fucking Adderall charge 10 years ago. Every month, 12 hours, I had to drive 12 hours in my mom's pickup truck that barely ran. Having these conversations with God. And the thing about it, it's like I never one time doubted.
I never one time doubted. Didn't think this was possible. I knew this shit was going to happen.
I knew it was going to happen. And let me just go back to my point. The fact that it is happening. I'm so full of gratitude. I make a beat. I make a song. AWOL's engineering. My nigga Tim's in the fucking building. And at the end of the day, I got drinks being poured up. This is how life... I ain't gonna lie. Let me tell you some shit right now. Let me tell you some shit right now. Camera one.
Whatever camera you give me.
No, this life is really hard, for real. Oh, life is hard as fuck. If I didn't butt beat it, what the hell I would have done? Right. I tell people that. That's why this reception to the show is kind of crazy because people are, like, screaming for me. I'm like, oh, my gosh, Joey. I'm like, bro, before this, I was doing Uber and my transmission went out.
did everything and have done everything I said I was going to fucking do. And a lot of niggas can't say that. And that's why I'm so fucking full of gratitude. As you should be. I did that shit. And I don't talk about it a lot because I give God all the praise and the glory.
I just can't believe it. I just can't believe it. It's fucking wild. I had this shit at four years old, and this nigga did it. Period. I'm about to cry. I'm sorry. I'm really about to. Let me stop it. I'm not doing it, though. Keep going.
It's insane to me. This nigga did it.
Don't show this on camera. That's amazing. It's a good feeling. It is. At the end of the day, I don't give a shit. Because, like, most people in this life, I look at life sometimes, and I'm just talking candidly to y'all. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. I'm talking candidly. Because I look at people sometimes, and it's like, I look at so many people living in this world that don't,
Have their dreams manifest. Right. Because whether it was fear, whether it was time didn't play to your cards, whether it just you didn't believe, it can be a lot of factors in it.
But the fact that God has allowed me to see my dreams manifest and I get to be around people that are also living their dreams.
And I was broke. So it's like I have a different appreciation and a different perspective for all of this.
I'm just happy that, like, y'all...
History books. I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie to you.
I ain't gonna lie to you. I just love Washington. I just love Washington. I'm Washington. I just love Washington. I just love Washington, D.C., right?
And, you know, I love history. I love history. Like I said, I have reverence and respect for a lot of the greats. Even if it's like presidents that did some bullshit, they still did it. You know what I'm saying? Even Donald Trump. He's a fucking jackass. He's crazy. He's wild. He's an idiot. I think it's the president. I'll tell you so.
Because I got, I'm not going to say, I hate the word famous, celebrity. I got known at 33. So I've learned so much in these years that God's given me. I've learned so many lessons. My wisdom has continuously increased. And I know that life is hard.
And when I say that, it's like, why don't we go to Washington, D.C.? I just left there yesterday.
And Martin Luther King making the speech. I'm thinking of Lincoln Memorial, Thomas Jefferson, the National Smithsonian Black History Museum. It's like, these people, and the reason I said Trump is like, because like, Trump's an asshole, but he still took control of his life and made something out of himself. He's a fucking dickhead, whatever, whatever.
I'm not trying to get into politics and shit, but it's like, there's this, like, small respect for niggas that, like, still make something about themselves because at the end of the day, it's like, you could have chose the latter.
No, no, no. I'll say this.
You're 100% correct.
Thanks for having me.
You know what's so crazy about America, though? America, and I'm so glad we're having this conversation because this is like my thoughts. America is like a weird-ass place. This motherfucker we live on, I love living here. I'm appreciative. It's the best country in the fucking world. I'm proud to be an American, whatever type shit. But it's like, I'm proud to be an American.
But it's like, at least I know I'm free. But it's like, even you say that shit, though, it's like, nigga, but like America is kind of fucked up too, though. I thought about the other day, and I went to Will Smith's page. Will Smith had posted like the 30-year anniversary of Bad Boys, right? He had tagged Michael Bay. I went to Michael Bay's Instagram page. I haven't been to Michael Bay.
Michael Bay, he's a great director.
Michael fucking Bay. But he said, like, yeah. He had a video of him meeting Trump. And he did a Secret Service Super Bowl commercial. And it was a dope-ass commercial. Like, America's been founded because this guy in the third. They had, like, Teddy Roosevelt in it and Franklin Delano Roosevelt in it.
Stole this bitch. Definitely stole it from the Indians. They stole from Native Americans. And it's like, it made me feel weird. Because I'm like, we're so prideful about being American. I know this is going like a whole different way right now. But I thought we were just like talking shit.
It is hard. It is. That's for men because we got to make it happen.
But it's like, niggas really came to this bitch in 1492.
And stole this bitch. But not only that... And stole this bitch, motherfucker.
No one's giving a shit. So at the end of the day, it's like, it's just a tough life we live. So that's why. If God allowed me to have this blessing, I'm going to honor the position and pay it forward the best I can to help other people out. Come on now, pay it forward. Because this, like I said, this life is hard. It's tough. No one told us that when we were young.
But then again, it's like America... was built, and then it's like, we do get these opportunities.
So it's like, it's kind of like a double-edged sword, because I've been thinking about it sometimes. It's like, going back to 1492 and shit, and I'm thinking about the pilgrims and shit like that.
I'm like, damn. I'm like, damn. Niggas really stole this shit. They were just chilling, but wouldn't, I'm not going to say nothing else. Because my thing is, like, was Native Americans' mindset to expand like this? And I think it's really the thought America is more so, like, expansion, vast... Do whatever you want.
And to be honest with you, that is the... I'm glad you asked that because that is the question that you asked. It's like, damn, that's fucked up they did that shit.
That's fucked up. How the hell they do that? But then it's like... Would it have been these skyscrapers in the fucking building if niggas... It's such a weird... And we can't do nothing about it because we're just here. We're in the latest advanced time in the world. But at the same time, it's a weird phenomenon. I will say that because it's like... Have you seen Kills of the Flower Moon?
That's what I'm saying. It's like...
Yeah, it's fucked up. It's fucked up. It's fucked up. I'm not trying to even speak on... I love Native Americans. They're the best. I'm not being serious. But it's also like... I don't know what they... Because... I'm getting way... This is like the in-house conversation that's going on. But it's like... Never mind, keep going.
I don't want to get too deep with this shit because I can get deep and it's like... No, I like it.
It definitely was wrong.
It's so funny you say that, too, because some might be like, damn, like, they really did that shit fucked up. But they'll be in their five-bedroom house, like, with a mimosa.
So it's like, nigga, you wouldn't be able to do that shit if... That's why it's tricky.
It's so tricky. Because it's like, nigga, yeah, we wouldn't be able to have this conversation.
It's just fucked up. It's just fucked up. That's what I'm going to say. It's fucked up. And it's messed up. And we can't control it.
We're in 2025 now.
Because I wouldn't have done it like that. I would have came in like, yo, this land is fucking great, man. What you would it be? I would have been like, yo, yo, my nigga, my nigga.
What I would have done, what I would have done, I would have came down and said, oh, shit, like, this shit fire. Oh, shit. There's so much land here, bro. Hey, bro, how about this? We should come up together with a game plan. Okay. We want to expand. Yeah. We came on this boat. We was on this bitch for fucking 30 days going on choppy-ass water. We had a fight. CC. We had a fight.
The Mayflower was on the park, bitch. Some niggas didn't even make it, dog. I'm still grieving over my niggas. Nigga jumped overboard. Nigga jumped overboard in this bitch. Y'all got a nice-ass land here. My thing is this. I think we should expand this bitch. And the thing about it... I think we should come together, because I don't want to fucking displace y'all. I don't want to fight.
I don't want to kill nobody. I don't want to torment nobody. I want us to be a peaceful coalition together, and let's expand this bitch, baby. And we can do it together. Y'all can be fucking governors and mayors and presidents. We can be governors, mayors, and presidents. And that's how I would have done it. Then again, I think maybe they ran into some, like, No!
I'm really excited, for sure.
Yeah, that's definitely what they ran into.
I don't know how... This is crazy how we got here. I'm so sorry.
I love... Y'all are so amazing. Y'all are beautiful.
Corn Mines is amazing. I don't know how we got here, but this is a thought that happened in my head, though, because I just left D.C. That's what I would have done, though. I would have tried to be like... No, we ain't doing that. I'm like, come on, man. Please, nigga. There's some niggas I know that's going to do some bullshit.
I thought they had a dinner first.
That's fucked up. I'm telling you. Wait, guess what? We all can agree, the culprit, we know the culprit is, right?
I have a white best friend. This ain't about you. Okay. So, so, so, so, we all can, never mind.
Oh, shit. Y'all, hold up, y'all. What happened? I'm going to do some shit.
Bitch so bad, he came down to trap me, nigga.
There it is. Hey, I'm on Poor Minds.
I'm on Poor Minds Podcast right now, right? I got to check this app. And we were just talking about, we were talking about relationships and like adoration and gratitude.
I can't see. And I called you because I wanted to like just say hello to you in front of everybody and shit.
Nice to meet you. I love you, bro. I just wanted to say what's up, bro. I love you, bro.
Hey, Alex. How you doing? Period.
All two are fucking amazing.
Now, when that drops, summer.
If it's so bad, then it's happening.
You know what's crazy? That is going to be, like, I think the... We're going to have to have like a thing for that. I'm going to make a video. I did it yesterday on my Instagram. I was like, stop.
It's over with, bro. I got y'all. It's over.
That stop it part, because the beat's so bad in Travany. That shit cool, but it's really that stop it part, though. Because that's really... Mood. Because, like, let me show you something quick. So, like, I did this video yesterday. We were in the studio with AWOL.
Huh? We did a video yesterday. I was, like, in the studio looking at shit.
Exactly. And we did. Stop it, nigga.
My bad. I'm so sorry. Is this a listening session? No, yeah. That's what I've been listening to every day.
No, no, no. That's called Tropics.
And they drop in the summertime. We got some other shit too called Workout Fine.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Well, okay. I'm getting ahead of myself.
Let me say something about Chris Brown. Chris Brown Goat. He's a fucking goat.
Chris Brown's a fucking goat, dog. I met the nigga in L.A. two years ago at one of his parties and shit. First of all, he's so cool.
He does. Right. Now, the Mutt remix...
It didn't need him, but it's still fire.
I get it. You listen to it 10 times, you'll be like, I like this.
Leon Thomas. He's a beast.
And I'm so glad he's getting his flowers, because that nigga's been around for a long time.
And it's just like, man, Mutt is insane. That is one of the best songs of the year. But then you go to this album, they got Vibes Don't Lie, you got Yes It Is, you got Mutt. It's just like his album. It's a solid project. I don't know why he didn't submit it for the Grammys. It would have won the fucking Grammy. I don't know. He didn't? I don't think he did.
Because that would have won a Grammy for Best R&B Album for sure.
The Yes It Is is like, I think I've played it five million times.
It's really Tim. My nigga Tim, when I just played the song, he was like, bro. I was playing Mutt a lot.
Yeah, he was like, bro, bro, bro. Play Yes It Is. I was like, what the fuck is Yes It Is? And then I haven't stopped playing it for two months straight. Because, like, tell me that it's mine. Yes, it is. You know, tell me that pussy mine.
I give great advice.
But at the same time, they went to Netflix. And when they went to Netflix, everyone I told to go see the movie was literally sending me messages like, yo, watch your movie, nigga.
Come on, man. Come on. Come on.
This is the thing about that, okay? First and foremost, first and foremost, that's crazy. That might not be. Second off is this. If that's your man of nine years, how do y'all not have the relationship to just be honest with each other?
If my girl's fucking breath stink or her fucking teeth stink, babe, you need to get your fucking teeth fixed. At the end of the day, I love you. Your teeth fucking suck, and at the end of the day, your breath stinks. At the end of the day, I'm tired of doing this shit with you.
Why the fuck are they coming to poor minds with y'all shit? You tell that nigga that. So at the end of the day, it's like, just tell him. Say, babe, your breath stinks like shit. You have halitosis, periodontal disease. Listerine's not working. Crest white chips ain't working. And the crest mouthwash ain't working. At the end of the day, it's this. You need a fucking full makeover, babe.
You need a full makeover. I love you to death. By the end of the day, I'm getting aggravated and fucking annoyed by your breath and your fucking teeth. So please get them fixed. There you go.
Let me tell you something.
If you can't be best friends with your partner, get another fucking girl.
Yeah, dude, you killed this shit.
Beauty in Black has changed my life. Yeah. Number one, numero uno. It's changed my life. The reception to the show has been great.
Yeah, you killed this shit, nigga. I'm like, nigga, I told you to go see it in theaters. You didn't go see it. So I knew right then. Convenience.
Nah, it's facts. Big facts. Even that pussy stank. I said, baby, you gotta take a shower, baby.
Babe, what the fuck have you done?
Get your fucking ass in the shower. I'll wash your ass. I'll wash your ass right now.
Hey, I'm real clean. I'm real big on hygiene. You are. I wipe my fucking balls so fucking much that I fucking have rashes almost. Period. I fucking wipe them so much. I want to be so clean and pure. You got to do what you got to do. I want you to enjoy it when you do it.
That pussy got to be funny. That's what I'm saying. Go in the shower right now, fucker.
Exactly. Go in there right now, nigga. Go in there. Get your love wellness on. Put that shit on right now.
Put the Love Wellness on. Put the fucking cream on your shit.
Exactly. And fucking make sure that shit is pure. I want to have a good experience when I'm fucking fucking from the back. I want that shit to be pure and nice. I don't have to have that SpongeBob shit happen. I don't need that shit. I don't need that shit. I don't need that. I need to fucking feel essence. The good squeaky clean. Because when it's clean, oh my gosh. You get into them more.
Activate. You fuck, you fuck, you fuck. You turn over, you turn over, you turn over. Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. And they come back, turn over. You don't do shit. I'm saying, though.
Human beings love convenience.
I know. I've been talking my ass off. I don't even know what's happening. Anyways, poor minds, huh?
Especially after COVID. Yeah. After 2020, people love convenience. I ain't trying to go nowhere. I don't want to go to the theaters.
Crystal, Crystal, Crystal.
Oh, Crystal, Renee. Yeah, we had Crystal, Renee. From Fatima.
He would. DeVal was, like, me and DeVal didn't even know each other that much. But I got so much respect for that nigga.
He's really dope. He's so, like, pure.
He is. He's very smart. He's so pure. Because we kind of have the same, like, similarities. You are. I'm wild. You are. 12 is crazy. You be cutting up. You be cutting up. Because, like, why not? Why not?
They're not going to be like me. They're not. Okay. So you can say that. But they're not going to be on you.
Don't worry about the red. Sorry. She's fucking great. You can get Stephen Norfleet on here, though. Stephen Norfleet, he's fucking amazing.
Terrell Carter, Varney, lit. Rico Ross, lit. Malik Winfield, lit. Rich Lawson, lit. Lit. Xavier Smalls, lit. I fucking love my people. They're my people. Okay. You asked what I got coming out.
Y'all make me feel so comfortable. I love y'all so much.
We like to make people feel comfortable in our car.
Gorgeous. I can't even fathom it, man. I'm going to cry right now.
It was like right there. It was by the wall. Y'all two deserve all that happens in the world.
Even, like, one of them days. Yeah. Like, SZA and Keke Palmer's movie.
I don't know what's going on with y'all love's life. Not love's life. I don't know what's going on with y'all love life. I don't know what's going on with y'all's man. I don't know what's going on. I pray and hope that y'all get everything you want out of this life.
Y'all are so fucking perfect.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Y'all are so beautiful. Y'all skin is so pretty.
Y'all smile is so pretty. Thank you. Y'all teeth are so nice. Thank you. I'm in fucking... No paradoxical over here. Y'all are so fucking gorgeous. I don't know what to do.
It's on Netflix. Yeah. VCR's number one, though.
I'm being serious. Okay, what do I have coming up? So, so, so, so, so, so, so, yeah. Beauty and the Black season two is coming out.
Yeah, season two is coming. We already filmed it.
It was already filmed. And let me tell you something. I'm crazy at season two.
Yeah, I think I was crazy season one. Season two, I was like, oh my gosh, Julian, you're losing a little bit. I think Tyler did that because he saw... He just knows that he wants... Because I get a lot of attention being Roy. I get a lot of attention being Roy because of who I am. Because of who I am. I could be an actor that goes into the abyss and not say anything. But I'm Julian. I'm out.
It made 51 million in the box.
I'm with the people. I'm in the airport. I'm like, I just want to live life. And by the grace of God, I got this opportunity to be just with the people. And, like, I'm fucking maximizing to the, like, craziness. But, like, yeah. But beating him by season two.
It's not cutting up in the way I'd cut up in season one either. It's more so, he a real fuckboy.
Because season one was more like... mean.
Season two, I'm more like wild. Season one, I was mean and like quirky. Season two, wild. This nigga is insane. He don't give a fuck about nothing. That's what season two is.
But it's like... It hit Netflix. Not everyone's watching.
Oh, my God. People are telling me now, even though the fucking scene, I don't give a fuck about this, the scene where I got pushed out the window, I do all my stunts.
I try to do all my stunts.
Never mind. That scene was just like, I wish I did everything in that scene.
Now we're at number one. Yep. So I knew convenience, convenience, convenience. So back to your question, it's like that audition and that the whole thing, the whole project came across my agent's desk and I saw that it was on Netflix. Mm-hmm. So I was like, holy shit. Tyler Perry has a Netflix show coming out?
I just wish I did everything. Because you can tell my stunt double was in that scene.
I couldn't tell? No. Guess what, though? Someone made a TikTok video about it, and it had millions of views. Really? It was obviously not Roy.
I don't care about being hurt.
I've been hurt before.
You see a scar right here?
You see a scar? Flat iron. This is from Black Spartans.
They did follow.
Instagram and Twitter. On Snapchat too. Julian Horton 12. The number 12 after that.
So J-U-L-I-A-N H-O-R-T-O-N 1-2. That's how it is. This is how niggas think I'm supposed to act. I'm going to act like this for the rest of the show.
She is fucking amazing.
She's amazing as shit. God damn, do you see her smile? Do you see her skin?
Do you see that motherfucking shit?
Fuck every week. You need to see this shit every day. Every second. Millisecond. We need to crunch this shit down.
No, you need to see me four times a week. This shit is fucking immaculate.
Woo! She's amazing, too.
Tyler Perry has a Netflix show coming? Because he did the BET Plus.
The Amazon Prime.
He ain't hitting no Netflix. He hit the Netflix movies with the Mia Coppas and the Jasmine Blues and a couple other things he did. What's the other movie he did?
It has been astounding, outstanding, and I just... I love that everyone's watching it. Yeah. This is really a show for the culture.
Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fall from grace with my dog from, I think it was in Glory Road. Yeah, dude from Glory Road.
He was. He was in the game. So he's a good actor, great actor. But it's like, so he's like, I have those movies, but a Netflix original?
So I came across, and I saw Roy. And it's like, he's amazing. My 20s, young 30s, black, playboy. He has a drug addiction. He likes to fast life. I'm like, that kind of sound like me, nigga.
Y'all know him. That kind of sound like me.
So I'm like, I hang a lot to, I love having this conversation because, you know, I like getting into the depths of it. When you see something like that,
And I got an audition for it right now. And I'm like, I would kill this shit. I would kill this shit. But then, you know, as an actor, it's like, is it really going to happen though?
Are you really going to book it? Because in my mind, I'm like, yo, you're going to have to go against the best of the best. And I love that. I love competition. I'm a competitor. But at the same time, acting teaches you, It's a subjective sport, this world we live in as actors. It's subjective. It's not objective. Like LeBron James, 6'9", 260. He can dunk on niggas.
I didn't know. I knew it was going to be big. I really did. But I didn't, I really couldn't just fathom how big it was going to be.
Yeah, you're going to get picked first, nigga.
Seth Curry, don't matter what you do, you're the best shooter of all time, you're going to get picked. Yeah. Acting's different because you can be the best actor of all time and then somebody be like, oh, but you know, he a little darker though.
I like his swag a little bit more.
They do. So your mind is, like, man, hopefully I get this. So basically, back to your question, like, I auditioned for it. And immediately, three days later, Kim Coleman, shout out Kim Coleman. She's the best. She loved my audition. And she was like, yo, I want Julian to come to L.A. to do the in-person auditions.
That happened on a Thursday. I want you to stay with me right here. I want you to stay with me. That happened on a Thursday. They want me to come to L.A. next Thursday. Next Thursday. So, I got the message from my agent. Like, Kim Coleman loves me. They want you to fly out next Thursday. It's Wednesday. Next Wednesday now. Six days have passed. And I ain't got no flight information. Nothing.
