Welcome to The Tune'd In Podcast!!!!! (Formerly Known as Dussé & Backwoods) I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/TikTok: @Tungotjokes Special Guest: 99 Wayne Mike On this episode of TIP, we sit down with a Los Angeles native by the name of “Mike” who is the owner and creator of the Los Angeles based media platform “99 Wayne”. We first start our conversation off by discussing with Mike what it was like for him growing up here in Los Angeles. He lets us know as a Los Angeles native that Los Angeles was a very exciting and premiere time to be a teenager and a Los Angeles native in the early 2000s. Mike talks about how he grew up in the Inglewood area and how growing up in that area could be deemed tough for people who weren’t natives of Los Angeles, but for him he was able to navigate through having a two parent household and a solid father figure in his life. Mike also let us know that he was able to have a solid childhood due to his father constantly making sure that he stayed on the right path. And even though some of his friends veered off into the gang culture and gang banging, he was a young man who always stay true to who he was and out of the street life. When asked why he didn’t join gangs or be involved with gang activity, even though he was actively outside, he responded that he knew early in his youth that gangbang culture was something that wasn’t for him, and that he didn’t want to find himself down that wrong path with certain individuals. We later go on to discuss about how the party scene in Los Angeles was completely different than it has been in recent times. Mike goes into detail about how the party scene transitioned from typical club parties, skating rink parties, and venue parties, later to be turned into house parties, which are now known as “Kickbacks.” We discussed how the party life changed for Los Angeles natives due to the fact that places like Hollywood was deemed the hotspot for Los Angeles natives when they were in their teenage years. Not only did we talk about how crazy and exciting the night life was, we also discussed how dangerous it could’ve been due to the fact that where certain parties were at, gang activity could erupt at any moment. Outside of the dangers that could come from being on the party scene frequently, Mike found himself building a large network and cultivating quality relationships that will later allow him to be well connected and respected throughout Los Angeles. To the point where he was able to gain momentum as a manager for local Los Angeles artist and build a brand that later would be developed into the “99 Wayne” media platform. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat, and like alway this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of The Tune’d In Podcast. Yay! Yay!

Welcome to The Tune'd In Podcast!!!!! (Formerly Known as Dussé & Backwoods) I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!!

We start our conversation with Sham talking about his upbringing in Los Angeles and what his experience was like. Sham expressed to us that although things were regular and kind of normal to him, unfortunately the way he grew up and the things he saw at a young age wouldn't have been deemed normal to others. Because of Sham's family ties to the gang activity, he was introduced to the harsh realities of life at a young age due to his father and uncles gang affiliation and reputation. He talks about how knowing that his family had strong gang ties and connections, made his reality something that was a bit more serious than the average kid growing up where he grew up at. Although he was well protected and guided by his father, his mother and his family members he had to embrace the harsh realities of the gang life when his father, unfortunately had to go to jail for a long period of time, and his uncle was killed when he was a young boy. That understanding of his life gave him a perspective at a young age of what life was about and what his reality was for him and his family. He goes on to explain that his fitness enthusiasm comes from his father and Uncle’s influence due to the fact they encouraged working out based off of the time that they spent in jail and the fitness program that they advocated for him to be a part of at a very young age. Sham goes on to discuss that although growing up in the hood, it had its trials and tribulations, but he found the joy and the beauty of his section that he grew up in, which helped contribute to his artistic view and creative influences that helped shaped his life as he got older. We then transition our conversation to when Sham gets older and moves off to Fresno, California, where he finished high school there and eventually went to Fresno State University. Sham told us that he left Fresno State University and eventually came back to Los Angeles, where he then ended up going to USC where he found himself going over to Belgium for a study abroad program. Even before going abroad, she revealed to us that he had always been a creative kid which gave him the motivation that he needed to be his own support system. Seeing that he didn’t grow up with any siblings and was pretty much an only child, it was easy for him to embrace his creative and artistic skills. At a point in time in our conversation we later start to discuss how the city of Los Angeles truly molded and shaped Sham's, confidence, and personality to the point he has not only become a staple in the city, but has been a voice of Los Angeles culture when it comes to justifying all the great things that Los Angeles has to offer. Even to the point where he went viral for a video that he did talking about Los Angeles transplants who come to Los Angeles from other states to complain about the things that are happening here in Los Angeles specifically.

THE TUNE'd IN PODCAST EP. 83 "COMEDY LEGACY" FT PAIGE BRYAN
Welcome to The Tune'd In Podcast!!!!! (Formerly Known as Dussé & Backwoods) I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/TikTok: @Tungotjokes Special Guest: PAIGE BRYAN On this episode of TIP, we sit down with Comedian, Actress and former Musician Paige Bryan. We first start off our conversation talking with Paige about her upbringing and what it was like growing up in the San Fernando Valley. From how it was difficult for her to fit into her environment, to then at the time her and her family being one of the only black families in a predominantly white neighborhood. Paige expressed that even though she grew up in the valley, she would spend most of her time in Ladera Heights with her black friends and would find herself at the Fox Hills Mall almost every weekend due to the fact that majority of her friends lived in LA. We talked about how growing up in the valley was a privilege for her that she was aware of, but even though she was more fortunate to be away from the struggles of inner city Los Angeles, LA culture has away of influencing all the natives who lived in neighboring areas outside of the city. Now for Paige, her life was a bit more interesting than the average valley girl, due to the fact she is the daughter of a very famous, well-respected and legendary Comedian by the name of "Sinbad". With her being the daughter of such an iconic and glorified celebrity, we tried to gather what her experience was growing up with him as her father and what sense of normalcy she had. Paige went on to express to us that, she had a regular upbringing as far as she knew it, because her father had been famous all her life so the things that transpired for her were regular until she was older and made aware of the difference between her fathers status in society, compared to other peoples parents. But she also reiterated that, being from the valley or LA in general, allows the natives to have a nonchalant demeanor when it comes to celebrities because its kind of a normal thing to either know someone who is famous, or be related to someone who is famous due to the overwhelming amount of people who are actually celebrities in LA. We go one to discuss that because of who her father was, it was difficult for her to make genuine friends and still til this day it's difficult for her to trust people and their intentions due to the fact that people can just be opportunist and only want to get close to her for a upgrade in their own social status. We later switch gears to discuss how she also comes from a musical background as well as a comedic one. She explains that not only was her father a musician, but both her parents were very active in the church as well as her grandfather being a pastor, which allowed her to explore here musical and creative talents through praise and worship. Although music was Paige's first love, it was comedy that eventually stole her heart and gave her a different passion and desire for entertainment. Paige goes on to explain how her comedy journey hasn't been easy despite the reputation of her father. According to Paige, she says she is constantly prejudged and assumed to have everything set out for her and is given the easy route to success due to others assumption of nepotism. But Paige goes on record to let it be known that she doesn't use her fathers name as a crutch for her to skip the line or avoid criticism, as she choices to step into rooms as herself and build a name and brand strictly off her talent and hard work alone. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat, and like alway this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of The Tune’d In Podcast. Yay! Yay!

Jasmyn later goes on to tell us how things started to drastically change in Cleveland as violence and crime started to rise due to lack of opportunities and resources.

Jordan in the boxing gym one day, and eventually have him be the inspiration for his character in the hit movie "CREED". Malik talks about how his first time acting in a movie was a major motion picture with huge movie stars and it was an experience of a life time. Malik let us know that he wasn't even supposed to be in the movie, but after a bet with Micheal B. Jordan, stating that if he beat up the best boxer in the gym, they would write a part for him in the movie. And without any hesitation, Malik beat the hell out of the best boxer in the gym, and the rest was history. That opportunity lead to a domino effect of events that ended up landing him another major role in a Netflix original film called "Burning Sand". After that movie, Malik was forced to face the harsh reality of Hollywood, which is the fact that one minute you can be "booked and busy" and the next your career can be at a complete stand still. So unfortunately for Malik, the movie auditions stopped after awhile and he had to figure out what his next move was going to be. Malik said that is was really a blessing from God for him to transition to his new career of comedy because he was always the one on the movie set making everyone laugh.

Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/TikTok: @Tungotjokes Special Guests: @TT_Got_it & @PrinceCharmingP On this episode Tun sits down with the Emmy Award winning dynamic rap duo and legendary products of the west side of Chicago, The Freaky Boiz. We first start off our conversation talking about what it was like for these two growing up on the westside of Chicago. Even though they went to revel schools where violence and gang activity was constantly around them, they found a way to build a bond and become close friends at an early age in life. Due to their upbringing being so rough, they stuck together through their love for entertainment, as they both were apart of a local dance group in Chicago. Although faced with several trials and tribulations because of the harsh environment and extreme circumstances they had to over come, the both of them ended up going to college and attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. At SIUC, is where their lives changed forever because they were one of the first internet sensations to go viral due to their famous impromptu freestyle that they did in their dorms and uploaded to YouTube which made them overnight local and national celebrities. Not only did their freestyle catch a lot of notoriety, but they set the path and opened the door as the first male rap duo who were openly representing the LGBTQIA community. Because of their new and unique rapping styles and raunchy lyrics about their lives and experiences as openly gay black males, they developed a celebrity status which eventually got them to appear of the nationally syndicated radio show, "The Breakfast Club". We later go on to discuss on them catching fame early as young college students, that allowed them to gain a large following which later contributed to them moving out to Los Angeles to further advance themselves in their rap careers. We discuss how them coming out to Los Angeles, right after college allowed them to experience a multitude of adult life trials and tribulations which gave them the understanding of what their true calling and purpose was in life outside of just being entertainers. And that calling and purpose eventually leading one of them to become and Emmy Award Winner as well as a Guinness Book Record holder and the other to develop a love and passion of being a school teacher as well as an entrepreneur. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat like always, this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of Dussé and Backwoods. Yay! Yay!

But Chelcye later clears up her overgeneralized comments by elaborating on how with her being a "Southern Belle" at heart, its some things that she is just accustomed to due to her upbringing in the south. We go on to discuss what it was like growing up for her seeing as she is an only child, and she goes on telling us about how she had a great childhood, but also realized earlier in her life that she aspired to be a entertainer of some sort. Chelcye reveals that although she is a tall women at 5'9, she never had a interest in playing sports even though she ran track for her high school, but yet her passion ended up being public speaking because she was on the debate team. The experience gave her the confidence to be out spoken in front of a group of strangers as well as be able to stand alone in a male dominated field. We later transitioned our conversation to how she later went to college but found herself not being focused, and ended up dropping out and joining the navy. Our conversation continues as we discuss her trials and tribulations that she goes through which she ends finding herself in California, pursing entertainment as an Actress. Chelcye was having success in her acting career but it wasn't as fulfilling as she hoped it to be because she was constantly having to wait for opportunities to be seen as an Actress. But it wasn't until she saw a fellow Comedian and now a peer in stand up comedy by the name of Ron G perform stand up comedy, which sparked a fire and passion for comedy which eventually got her to pursuing comedy as a full time career.
