Why Girls Like Black Guys w/ Cousin Jay
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Let's go.
Guys, welcome back to episode 4 of Fresh Start with Cousin Jay.
Let's go.
Are you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Are you ready?
Let's go!
Let's go, baby.
BBC Gang in the building.
Uncle Fred.
Let's go.
All right, guys.
Listen, Uncle Fresh is here.
Have no fear.
But Cousin J is here as well.
So listen, I know who Cousin J is from Nelk, doing the videos, having people laugh with the Riz, but they may not know who you are.
Cousin J, tell them who you are, bro.
Lovely introduction.
I am Cousin J. My real name is Jordan.
That's your real name, bro?
Yeah.
Damn, I didn't even know that.
Yeah.
And I do YouTube.
I'm soon going to be streaming, such as yourself, and I like to skate.
I'm from Sacramento, California.
I'm sober.
I don't drink ever.
Well, you don't drink at the college parties?
No, I just go there to do my work and dip out.
Okay, okay.
So listen, I've known Cousin Jay for quite some time, man.
I met him with Salim, Nutboys, but he's always in the mix, having fun, getting lit.
And the ladies love this guy.
I don't know what it is, but they just love you, bro.
I get it from you.
What are you talking about?
Come on, now.
Shout out to his merch, by the way.
Girls love artists.
Thank you, sir.
Amazing merch.
But, guys, today's episode is sponsored by none other than White Carrot.
It's a great company here in Florida and as well, Canada.
They have the best jewelry in town, hands down.
My ring, my bracelet, and my chain is from White Carrot.
Big pointers.
There we go.
We need to plug it up, too, bro.
For sure.
So shout out to them, White Carrot.
Adam at White Carrot.
Shout out to you.
But, guys, without further ado, we're back on the channel.
Glad to be here with my boy Cousin Jay.
Thank you so much.
But listen though.
So listen.
We're here right now talking as men.
But we need to figure out something with dating bro.
Right now the dating world is messed up.
Let's talk about it.
Remember we did an episode with your boy and he needed to find a girl?
Yes.
But stop because he wasn't one of us bro.
No yeah.
He wasn't a BBC gang.
So we need to figure out what's going on here because obviously we have it a little bit easier.
Yeah.
But why is that?
I don't know what it is bro.
Listen man.
It's the BBLs.
That's what caused the chaos, the obstruction for us.
You think so?
Their heads are getting too boosted now.
The girls, that's what's making it hard for us.
You live in Miami.
You should know this.
I know, bro, but let's say my brothers are white or they're Asian, bro.
I mean, obviously we're a BBC gang.
We give out our confidence, but we need to include them in the Riz, bro.
So we want to teach them some game.
Something.
Because, dude, you be getting all the sauce, bro.
Like, okay, listen.
I be going out with these guys, right?
And I'm like, yo, Jay's be killing this shit, bro.
The thing is he's humble about it.
But, Jay, whatever you're doing is working, bro.
No, thank you.
They're saying low audio, I think.
Low audio?
Oh, I got to get to the mic.
My fault, chat.
I'm new to this, but I'm true to it.
Can y'all hear me now?
Should be good.
In any case, so we did a video.
A couple days ago.
Yeah.
With your boy.
What's his name again?
His name is Chase.
I actually met him like maybe five minutes away because I got an Airbnb over here.
And we were just like thinking of ideas of what to do for my channel.
And I seen this guy in the elevator.
He's crippled.
I don't know if they can see him on the screen.
Yeah, but we're going to show the screen right now.
He's an amazing dude.
Like straight character, bro.
He's a straight character.
And he's like, yo, I watch your videos.
I'm like, yo, that's late.
Like, what's going on?
What you doing?
We should get into something before you leave.
And he's like, oh, I'm leaving tomorrow.
But, like, man, like, what you do is, like, really inspiring.
He kind of talks like that, too.
I'm like, thank you, bro.
Let me set you up.
Because I'm doing, like, a dating series on my channel where I'm trying to help people find love.
I would say, bro, no, it is tough.
But, yeah.
It's extremely tough.
And, I mean, I don't think I've been.
I feel like I've been close to it, but not fully.
It's hard for me.
We do content.
It's really hard for me to trust.
You're part of Nook, right?
Yes.
Are you still working with them?
Yes.
Same thing?
Nothing's changed?
Nothing's changed.
They just don't post as much.
Why is that?
I mean, the podcast is doing extremely well.
You have to focus on Happy Dad's doing really well.
So you have to compartmentalize.
Like, what you're doing.
You have to prioritize the certain things that you're doing in life, you know?
Where's Saleem, bro?
This nigga's been at MIA, bro.
Where's Saleem?
In LA, I believe, right now.
Okay.
They were just watching the fights.
Listen, he's a good guy.
Great guy.
He needs some help, bro.
He needs some milk.
That nigga needs some milk.
I ain't gonna lie.
Alright, so we're gonna play the video real quick, guys.
This is like the intro part of it where he does ladies' skits.
And of course, this is real time too as well.
This is real time.
This is real time.
Yeah.
So we were here together at the mall.
Yeah.
We just bumped into each other right here.
Randomly.
So let's play real quick.
And this is Chase.
I'd be down and try that.
Yeah, that'd be funny.
Joshy.
I have a question.
Answer.
So if I wasn't gay, would you let me hit?
Okay, let's explain this to them real quick, what this is.
So my boy Nick, he's in the background.
He's my manager.
He'd be giving me great advice.
For content ideas?
Yeah.
He told me, you've seen this TikTok.
It's going viral right now.
You pretty much go up to a girl and you say, if I wasn't gay...
Let me smash.
Yeah, pretty much.
And I pretty much said exactly what he said to her.
And it seemed like she was actually interested.
Does that work though?
I feel like girls like when you just don't care.
True.
You know?
Nonchalant, don't care.
Okay.
Yeah, let's see it.
Let's see what happens.
That was very straightforward.
You know?
Well, good thing I'm not gay.
Interesting.
I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
I'm Jay.
Emily.
Emily?
Emily.
Lovely to meet you.
Fire.
Is this on video?
Is this for YouTube?
No, that's AI. That's, like, not actually a camera.
That's not a camera.
Do you have, like, a TikTok, a YouTube, uh...
People post my clips on TikTok.
What does that mean?
I'm famous.
That doesn't mean that.
I mean, you can look me up if you want.
So what's up with Sephora?
I didn't know they had the hus in here like that.
You didn't tell me.
That's your manager?
Yeah, that's my man.
Your videographer?
My videographer, my manager, and then that's just like somebody who's a to be.
But he ain't got nothing on you.
I mean, are you gay or are you not gay?
I'm straight.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go find my concealer.
It was so nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you.
Today's Tuesday.
We're going to date Friday.
I don't want to see myself on TikTok.
You won't be on TikTok.
I promise that.
This was before the ban, right?
Yeah, this was right before the ban.
Right before I became blue-collar.
So, obviously, I've seen way better chicks than this.
This is kind of like a mid-chick.
But the confidence you had to walk up to chicks, how do you gain that, bro?
Honestly, it took me a long time.
Like, high school, I had it.
You know, when I graduated high school, that's when I lost a lot of confidence because now we're stepping into the real world, you know.
It's just fucking different, you know, going from high school to reality, high school to college.
For a lot of people out there, I feel like, because I was a man, you know.
In high school, you was the man, homie.
That's how I felt.
How tall are you, bro?
I'm 6'3".
No, you're not.
Chad, there's no...
God damn, nigga!
Okay, you're taller than me.
I'm like that.
Whatever, whatever.
Anyhow.
I developed the confidence from just constantly...
I was watching dating videos on YouTube and dumb shit.
And just shooting up shots.
Every time after we would film videos, after we filmed pranks, I would try to go up to two or three girls.
And sometimes it would take me hours to just say hi to a girl.
Like, I don't know what it was when I graduated.
I just felt like shit.
I don't know.
Because we're just on the grind.
I feel you.
Okay, we got fresh updates.
Don DeMarcus, you, bro.
I'm 32 now.
I feel old, bro.
I feel really old.
Old you?
That's a good age.
I'm 24. You're young, bro.
Young buck.
You got it, man.
I don't know, man.
You're not grandpa fresh yet.
I know, but still, bro.
I feel like...
Damn, dude.
I don't know.
I feel kind of old.
I know.
Let's continue.
Here we go.
Okay.
Trust me.
It's gone in a few days.
Oh, it is.
So don't even worry about it.
That sucks.
TikTok is getting deleted.
But we'll keep it tight.
I'm so sorry.
How young are you?
I'm older than you.
I'm 24. I'm 29. That's fine.
I date 60-plus-year-olds.
I'll get your number.
You better dance.
Is that why you guys walked into Sephora right now?
No, we walked here so we can get some smell good from my friend Chase, who's crippled.
And I'm actually trying to find him the love of his life.
You're a really good friend.
You decided to help him out.
Nice guy.
Emily.
Emily with an E. I'm going to call her right now to see if it's fake.
I might swerve on that corner wall.
Bro, I'll be honest, bro.
She got like no ass, bro.
I'm doing this strictly for content.
You know what I'm saying?
I know, I know.
It's just content, bro.
Chill, chill, chill.
I'm kidding, bro.
I'm kidding.
Time shit.
Time shit.
The fact that that line actually works, Nick.
Every time.
She was like, that's bold, but I like it.
Chase, we got the smell good.
What's next?
What do you feel?
I'm feeling like I look good, but I think I look a little better.
He needs to find a girlfriend, right?
This guy Chase, right?
He honestly told me in the elevator that he was having a hard time trying to get with girls since he's been disabled.
He got in a car accident.
Oh, okay.
So he's actually on crutches?
Yeah.
Winter Soldier!
What's going on, Fresh?
Yo, who is that?
You look good, man.
Let's go!
Uncle Fresh in the house!
Let's go!
I've been in the gym, bro.
Yeah, I see you, man.
So, what's up, man?
So, I'm actually trying to help this guy.
What was going through your head when you saw me, bro?
I was like, this nigga's a winter soldier.
Bro, I've seen you so long, bro.
Like, for real.
It's been, like, probably eight months, maybe.
Dude.
A little more.
But it's always good vibes when I see you, bro.
Always good vibes.
Yeah, you too.
I feel like Cousin Chase is in the moment.
He enjoys life, has fun with the girls, and it's just, like, a good vibe, you know?
Day by day, man.
That's it.
Day by day.
Got to chase, find some love.
I had a little car accident, but, you know, getting better every single day.
Now I'm looking for a wife.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, black, white, Asian.
What are we talking right now?
Skinny, white, has to have no ass, no ass.
I know a girl actually.
So skinny, white, and no ass.
No booties.
Bro, who wants that?
Yo, chat, I kid you not, bro.
I've never heard anyone say such a thing.
Skinny, white, and no ass.
Who wants that, bro?
Oh, hell!
Somebody for everybody.
Yo, who playing locals?
Me and Brett Cooper, bro.
Listen, does she have ass?
You know what?
I'll let you find out on your own, bro.
I don't want to comment.
Yeah, this is his picture right here.
This is nigga, bro.
When was this?
This was at inauguration, like two days ago.
Sorry, one day ago.
Okay.
Pretty cool.
All right, let's continue, though.
That's single right now.
Then she got a flat ass.
I mean, no ass at all?
But real talk though, we can find you a girl.
We gotta start from the core.
Yeah, we got him smelling good right now.
Can you handle a girl though, right now?
Obviously.
Okay.
That's a valid question.
Because you look like you need some damage control.
Okay, I'm getting controlled, but I can, you know...
That's a valid question.
Because you look like you need some damage control.
Okay, I'm getting controlled, but I cannot I can, you know, I can get in there.
It still works.
Huh?
He can barely walk.
That was the funniest shit you said.
Yeah, no, dude.
That was kind of messed up.
Yeah.
That was kind of messed up.
I'm not gonna lie.
It still works.
Don't let the cripple fool you.
Do you like old shit or do you like middle-aged shit?
Really?
Come on.
Hey, fine shit.
You just said fine shit.
Imagine.
What about this one?
Do you want?
She has like a backboard booty.
This is a new method.
Pull your phone out.
Go up to a girl.
Yep.
Find shit.
Wait, so you're saying go to a girl and say find shit and give her your phone?
Just say find shit.
Give her your phone.
If she fuck with you, she fuck with you.
If she don't, she don't.
You know what I'm saying?
You know why that might work?
Because she actually might like you.
It's like straight to it.
You're complimenting her by saying find shit.
A to B. Some people are A to Z. Some people are A to B. Get shit done.
Just like that.
Okay, okay.
I might give it a try.
One of these days.
In the brown?
Let's go.
Run it.
Run it.
Your outfit is amazing.
It's giving hair, face, ass, titties.
Everything.
Everything, girl.
What's your name?
He's our bailout.
He's our bailout.
Yo, it is funny.
So I'm like, yo, okay.
He said he wants a girl with no ass.
Flat.
And white.
I was like, this girl is perfect.
She got no ass.
Flat and white.
Backboard booty.
But let's see what happens now.
Are you from the favela?
I'm from Brazil.
Buongia.
Buongia.
That's all I know.
This is my good friend here.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Buongia in Portuguese means good morning.
And then buongia means good night.
Okay.
That's all I know in Portuguese, bro.
Buongia, good morning.
That's all I know, bro.
Buongia, good morning.
Something like that.
I don't know, bro.
I'm not Portuguese bad.
Listen, he's single right now, looking for a wife, and who wants to actually take care of and be with him.
But he's a little bit nervous.
So I'll give you the intro now to meet him.
And of course...
No, but I think I'm not the one for him.
Well, how do you know it if you've never tried?
You are in Miami.
There's a lot of girls here.
Only one of you.
Oh!
Yo!
With the bars!
Chase with the- Chase Bank with the bars!
Y'all be using the chat for Chase.
This guy can barely walk, but he can definitely shoot a shot.
Bro, that was some bars.
He said, hey, I'm out for you.
Chase Bank in the building!
He's banking in!
Don't let the cripple in this movie.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Sorry to disappoint you, but...
See, she was smiling, though.
She was engaged.
And she was having fun.
Yeah.
That's what it's about.
I feel like she was going to go for it, but she...
We'll see what happens.
If it wasn't cameras, is that what you're saying?
Sometimes the camera could...
You know what I mean?
She'd just have a man.
So, she might have went for it in a different way, but this is kind of like a bit too interface to the camera.
Yeah.
Well, she was being nice, to be fair.
But if my shorty was like this, I'd be like, yo, shorty, just cut that shit and walk away.
Word.
Yeah, dude, that's too...
Hey, you're doing too much.
Rewind it, rewind it.
Let me really analyze.
From a boyfriend dating a girl perspective.
In Miami, there's a lot of girls here.
Only one of you.
Oh!
Chase, he got her blushing!
Chase's back in the building!
Yes, you see, she's blushing, she's laughing.
She's like, oh, this thing's got some riz.
You see?
And once they start laughing, bro, it's...
Oh, you're saying once you make them laugh and giggle, you can make...
Okay.
You can make it wiggle.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't want...
Okay.
If Chase made your girl wiggle, how are you feeling?
Well, first of all, any girl that I smash that Chase wants to smash, we're not in the same realm, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
Hold on.
Chase is the guy.
I'm just saying, like, you know what I'm saying?
We're different tastes.
I need the booty.
He don't like the booty.
So we would even, like, compete.
You know what I'm saying?
Some people like chocolate.
Some people like vanilla.
Some people like BBL. Some people like...
Exactly.
We got DominicanUD says, yo, this is Kaz, taking notes.
Yeah, brother?
Get your Instagram on point.
Talk in person.
Get your resume on point.
Listen, guys, it's an action and skill you've got to master.
It takes time to build it up.
But again, look at Cousin Jay.
He was scared to talk to girls in person.
Two years, man.
Two years.
But now he does videos talking to girls in real time for you guys on camera, on YouTube, by the way.
Go sub to his channel.
It's actually real Cousin Jay.
It's our Cousin Jay right here.
Thank you, man.
118K subs.
Shout out to you, bro.
Let's go.
Obviously, I'm sub to your channel.
I like the video, of course.
But, yeah.
So, guys, it's confidence, man.
But it takes time to build that skill.
So you got to go out there, talk to girls, talk to people, and as well, try.
Give it a try.
No, but I'm not going to lie.
You got some great wingmaning abilities.
Oh, thank you, bro.
I don't know if you realize that.
Listen, I'm new to this.
I'm true to this.
Oh, I like that.
Okay, let's continue.
Let's continue Don't let the cripple in this morning No, no, no Sorry to disappoint you, but I believe in this, look Looking back at like 10 years, you're going to be like, oh my god Love of my life I already have the right guy Ah, okay I like that, good shit I'll tell you that Amazing She's loyal, she's loyal We got to get you a Brazilian, go to Brazil There's a lot of girls in Brazil and they are off
Fun fact, the book goes from Brazil they are For everybody.
You took some shit down there?
No.
They came here.
But let me explain.
So girls in Brazil, my buddy obviously has been there for quite some time.
KS Redbeard.
They are like almost like Miami girls.
Let me explain.
They're more sexual.
And let's say they meet me one day.
Have a good time.
They meet you.
Have a good time.
They don't hold back because they want to have sex.
They want to have fun.
So in that sense, I would say to find a little Brazilian girl may not be the easiest thing to do.
You know what I'm saying?
They sound loyal.
Oh, she sounds loyal.
She sound loyal as fuck.
Giggly laughing with us?
I don't know, bro.
It's a little bit too friendly, bro.
You got more experience than I do in this dating room, so I trust your word.
I know, but still, you know, you're still doing the actions that help you become better, you know?
Yeah.
Okay, question.
If Chase wasn't crippled, do you think he could pull easier?
If he wasn't crippled, I think it almost might be an advantage that he is crippled.
I don't look at it as a disadvantage because, like, I feel like everybody has that one superpower and his cane is his superpower.
Yo, are you serious, bro?
Hey, whatever works, bro.
Listen, it's not the man.
Sorry, it's not the cane, it's the man.
It's what you do with what you got.
Yeah, the confidence and the swag behind it.
I got you.
Yeah.
But they're not like you, though.
She's good, though.
But she got a man already.
I know.
You know what?
In life, it's just numbers.
Listen, I gotta go, because I gotta run some numbers myself.
One today, one tomorrow.
Yeah, you got something in the back pocket.
All right.
Blessings.
Happy New Year, baby.
Happy New Year, bro.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, bro.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, bro.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, bro.
Anyhow, we'll stop right there.
But yeah, so listen, I'll tell you this, bro.
That was fun.
You know, just chopping up.
That was an amazing interaction, bro.
Going out, just chopping up.
So listen, Jay, I've been very close to watching you guys blow up from day one at NELC. You're doing everything with Salim.
Thank you, man.
What's coming next for you?
And then what's the key in plan from here on out with YouTube and content creation?
Every week on YouTube, we're posting every Sunday for the rest of this year.
We're creating, it's a love series.
I haven't figured out the name of it, but once I do, you guys will see it on my channel.
Pretty much like at the start of the video, when I introduce the guest, it's going to have like that little pop-up, little animation.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
So that's when you notice.
I thought we were doing a show called For the Love of Fresh.
Oh, I like that.
That'd be hard, right?
For the Love of Fresh.
Don't think about it.
Get shit done.
Because didn't they do that with Stiney?
Mm-hmm.
The Bachelor.
That's pretty good, actually.
Like recreating The Bachelor, I like that.
Yeah.
And just having characters just evolve.
And I really want to highlight.
Whatever superpowers each person has.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you think...
Well, let me ask you this question.
Yeah.
So let's say, for example, dating itself nowadays at your age.
Is it about, like, the status?
Is it about, like, you being, like, that guy that's known in campus?
Like, what do you think is the best way to get girls nowadays at your age, 24?
Honestly, in this reaction, that's contradicting to what I'm saying, but in general...
Like the reaction before this with the girl inside Sephora.
I don't really go up to girls and tell them who I am.
I honestly hate that shit.
But just for the plot in that one, I was like, okay, let me do it.
Just because I don't really want to date a girl who's in the same room as I am.
The girl who I actually date, I would not want it on the internet.
Of course, of course.
Guys, you've seen us have girls on the internet and it's definitely not been the best.
So, yeah.
It's better to be keeping them off camera.
So, let me ask you this question, though.
Sure.
So, being 6'3", black, and...
BBC stand-up.
BBC stand-up.
Charismatic.
This nigga, bro.
You think you have, like, an advantage?
Yeah.
Nigga, we're black.
It took me a while to realize that, though.
Yeah.
They try to hide that from you.
They try to hide that shit from you when you're young.
Let's go!
Okay, but hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
What caused this to happen?
Especially in America.
I'm sure a couple years ago it wasn't that way.
Drake was up.
Chris Brown was up.
Breezy was up.
We were down.
What changed, bro?
Listen, we stayed down for the come up.
That's what happened.
Either way, though, I think that right now we got a chance to change a game.
Help guys actually come back to fruition.
White, black, Asian, doesn't matter.
Because we're all in this together.
I just think that, like, right now, they need help.
Who needs help?
The guys don't really need help, bro.
No, we all need help.
Listen, I think Instagram is one of the best ways you can talk to people nowadays.
Having a good profile, good content, good pictures, and, of course, having the right setup so when you see a dimmer girl, she wants to respond to you.
You ever seen Dems to girls?
For business.
For business only?
Never to smash?
No, yeah, definitely way earlier on.
And in between, yeah, you have your fair share.
But, like, Just because girls be screenshotting shit.
I'm not a fan of that.
That's why I like keeping it just business.
You know what I mean?
You know what's funny?
I've realized with creators especially, or someone that has clout, if you just say anything, you could put an emoji.
Screenshot.
Well, that too, but they'll respond to you for the most part.
I could put like, I don't know, a heart emoji.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
There's just something random.
And that can have me with a response.
First average guy, he's at the DM to a girl.
She's like, oh, Who is this guy?
So that's why I think guys should create a profile for themselves that is definitely them, but obviously have some following, have some status, and then go ahead and send a DM. Because if you send a DM randomly, you got pictures in the bathroom selfie.
It doesn't do anything.
It's just like a turn off.
So that's what I think.
I feel like, I mean, if you're a social media influencer too, it would probably be way easier to get a response to.
But then, you still got to understand how to get that from Instagram.
To FaceTime to a date.
Because I think that path itself is hard to do sometimes.
Are you a big FaceTimer?
100%.
Because I need...
All I need is 10 minutes with you.
10 minutes on the phone.
We FaceTime.
I see your vibe, so to speak.
I can see what you're about.
And at the same time, that's like screening you before we go on a date.
So I know if you're about it or not.
Because what's about going on a date if you're not actually getting, for example, the months?
You know what I'm saying?
You have a more...
Dominant sense that she's actually going to play into it and be a part of your mission.
So do you think before you go on a date, you're able to tell whether she's type with it or not?
Yeah, of course.
What are some signs that would show you that a girl is with it?
So the thing is with this FaceTime call, you've got to ask questions to qualify her, right?
Because you've got to see where she's at.
Because she might be like, I'll give you my phone number, but I'm not into it like that.
And you can tell this from the vibe.
But what is the vibe?
All it is is her response, your questions, and how she's, like, giving you answers.
So, for example, I can ask her, listen, I think you're pretty cute.
I like your vibe.
I'm taking you out on Wednesday when you're free.
I'll pick you up at 8. She can say, for example, oh, I don't know.
I'll let you know.
The hesitation.
Or she can say, like, perfect.
I'll be ready that time.
I can't wait to see you.
Submit.
Submission.
So I know off rip her response is telling me she's ready.
What about the response time?
Does that add into it or no?
Not really.
Remember, we're on FaceTime.
So that's instant.
So FaceTime is like you're locked in for 10 minutes, 50 minutes max.
So no matter what, you're straight FaceTime.
What if they don't answer the FaceTime?
Well, this is why you've got to preamble.
For example, I'll say, hey, when are you free for a FaceTime call?
I'm busy.
Maybe I'm working.
Maybe I'm on the go.
So let's do a FaceTime call real quick.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm straight to FaceTime.
Set that up, though.
So, like, I meet a girl in person.
After I meet her in person, I might text her, say, hey, it's cousin, or hey, you know what I mean?
It's Jay.
And then, next day or two, like, whenever I'll remember, I'll hit her up.
I'll just randomly FaceTime, whether I text her or not.
Yeah.
I will say that that works, too, because, like, they're like, who is this calling me?
And they'll pick up the phone for FaceTime most of the time.
But, you can have it where, like, you just set it up where, are you free this time?
Boom.
For example, are you free right now?
Boom.
Face on call.
I feel like you're really good at communicating.
I suck at it.
I'm still working on it.
Even with me developing my own team, my channel, it's hard for me to communicate because I like to keep shit to myself.
I'm very closed off.
I'm an introvert at heart.
I couldn't tell, bro.
But being around extroverts such as yourself, I mean, would you consider yourself an extrovert?
You know, it's funny.
I'm actually not an extrovert.
But you know what it is?
Is that, like, I understand what I have to do to make things happen.
So I can't always be home alone.
I gotta network, make connections.
Like, for example, going to D.C. for inauguration.
I didn't want to go there, but I had to because I know for the team, I gotta make sure I connect to people.
Connections.
I see what's happening in the future with social media, what's happening with the current rules and regulations.
So, I gotta go there and meet people.
I met senators, congressmen.
I met a bunch of people that are successful.
That's cool.
Billionaires, too.
And it's like, yo, now I know what's happening for the future, I can move accordingly to make things happen.
So, I think for me, I'm not really an extrovert.
I just have to do things that are more...
Out there like that.
Because I'm part of the team, you know?
Oh, yeah.
And I feel like as you get older, you start to realize that.
And I'm maturing as I'm getting older, too.
And I'm realizing you just got to get shit done.
Because, bro, I could sit.
I swear to God, bro.
I could stay home, play my game, just watch a movie, and just, like, chill with my dog.
Go for a walk.
And that's all you need to do.
But having to go outside and meet people and, like, make connections, that's, like, a whole process in itself.
And it's like, oh, you make it look easy, but it's not easy.
You know?
It's like putting your reps in, like, how you do.
We're trying to learn how to ride a bike.
It's the same thing.
We're going to talk to new people to try to do business.
Even dating.
You know, dating.
Like, for example, you can talk to girls now because you've been through the reps and the skills of talking to girls.
Jump shots.
Constantly.
And you feel...
I guarantee you feel it a lot of times, right?
Yes, so many times.
Yeah.
So, it just happens that way, bro.
But, real quick, Jay.
So, let me ask you this.
If you're going to have a lot of status and get girls, what about the average guy?
How does he get a girl, you think?
No, it is.
And is it better to travel abroad or be in America?
I feel like you're appreciated where you're not known, just in general.
I feel like stepping out of your hometown, it's eye-opening, and then it challenges you to speak to different people and go on with a different mindset wherever you're from.
Yeah, but being a normal guy, I still look at myself as a normal person, which I still am.
I have, like, an audience of people that watch me, but if I were to take that away, start from scratch, I mean, I would hang around extroverts, people that talk more than I do.
So, let me ask you this, Jay.
So, listen, let's take it back a notch.
Yes.
When you first started your career, you know, how'd you get involved, make it content, and getting to milk itself?
So, 2017, I came up with the idea of filming content.
And making clothing.
I created my brand, Girls Love Artists.
But first, before that, I would paint canvases, murals, acrylic, like, all different types of art.
And I was posting that on my Instagram, Cousin J Online.
Like, that's where there's an archive of, like, all of my old shit.
I archived a lot of it because, like, yeah, I'm an introvert with the art.
You know, like, I care about my shit.
And so, like, you know, being an artist, I'm weird.
Not music-wise, but just...
I really love to paint.
And I haven't done it.
You can paint?
Yeah, I can paint.
Shit, I didn't even know that, bro.
Like, that's really what started everything.
Just a stroke of a paintbrush.
Pause.
What are you talking about?
You said a stroke, nigga?
No, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no diddy.
But, yeah.
And so, I would...
You know the Nike Hirachi shoes?
I would paint those.
I would just splatter paint on it.
And it would just go viral on Instagram.
Way before Reels.
And...
Boom.
So then, that's like my freshman year.
Time goes by, I keep doing that, and I bump into Slim, and he's not doing videos, but he kind of tried to roast me, and he said I look like Kodak, like I mentioned before.
I'm not going to host you, but you kind of do, actually.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
And I was pretty much like, get the fuck out of my face.
I like to be by myself.
Why are you trying to roast?
And that's what he does in his videos.
He doesn't post that much, how he used to, but...
That's what he would do on the videos that we filmed.
So you met Salim at the very beginning?
Yeah.
Like, that was my idea to create videos.
Okay.
And so, like, I was like, we should move to L.A. Like, if shit starts popping off, and just go full throttle.
And that's what we did.
And that's why we're speaking to each other today.
So you left school and everything?
You just went straight to...
I graduated.
He expedited his process with graduating because I was like...
Like, we got motion.
We need to get out of here ASAP. Either you dropping out or we're moving straight.
I mean, or you're going to, like, take, like, a class to, like, expedite it.
And we did that.
How did you know that it was time to, like, move on and make content?
So, like, whenever...
I told him to reach out to Worldstar and just DM all the random pages.
Because...
I was like...
At the time...
Worldstar was charging people $3,000 to post your video.
Yeah, and I was like, nigga, we ain't got that type of money.
I was making money from selling clothes and art, but not consistently to have 3K to just invest into it.
So I was going through their following and see who were the managers or whoever is posting their shit.
I sent them three accounts, I believe, and I was like, just send them their video and see what happens.
Literally the next morning, I think one of them sent laughing emojis and just started posting every single video.
And from there, I was like, yo, this is lit.
And it changed the whole trajectory of what we were doing.
And I was like, nigga, we gotta get out of here.
So, this is actually funny because a lot of people don't understand how social media works.
And it's all marketing and reach, right?
So, you can have your channel on YouTube.
And it may be small.
Yeah.
But you can blow it up.
In many different ways.
Yeah.
Like, I haven't done anything on my channel now.
Sure.
But once I get monetized again, I'm going to blow this shit up so big.
Yeah.
But you made a breaking point.
Having backlinks on WorldStar.
Oh, my gosh.
Yo, yo, hold on, hold on.
W's in the chat for WorldStar.
That shit.
Videos that go on WorldStar have backlinks, right?
That trail to your videos on YouTube, Rumble, wherever you post your main videos, right?
What's a backlink?
It just means a video that has links to your other channels.
So, which means, I've watched a video on WorldStar.
Yeah.
I'm watching the video, and the links go to my YouTube right after.
Guys, understand that, like, that through your channel is a huge boost.
That's a blessing.
It's traffic coming through your channel.
Otherwise, it would not have been there.
So, having WorldStar post your videos is insane.
At that time, they were on fire, bro.
Am I going to think of pranks, bro?
Actually, you know what?
Real quick.
So, my pranks on WorldStar were kind of the same thing.
Yeah.
Where, like, I said, am I going to think of pranks?
And they post them too.
Yeah.
Is this a poppin' or not really?
I mean, what's his name who made the song?
I might swerve on it.
He brought it back.
Jello.
Yeah, Jello brought it back.
Jello.
Hold on, let me take this one in.
So it's the Fresh Prince CEO. The Gold Digging Prince?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, buddy.
Old, bro.
Old.
Why are you searching this up?
Like, that was a time, bro.
That changed our life.
192k views.
What?
That's free promo.
Did you pay for that?
100%.
And how much did they charge you?
Well, no.
I had a hookup.
So, I'm a YouTuber that did it before and he helped me up and I got a special.
See, that's about who you know?
Exactly.
Or who knows you?
That's right.
It says here sponsored.
But look at the views.
Wow.
So, remember, this is my channel on YouTube.
That's COVID time.
So, the backlink, basically, is literally...
On to my channel.
So now, if I click it right here, guys.
Hey, guys.
It's your boy, Freshprint CEO. We're out here once again.
And we are in Miami.
Okay?
So today, Corona's going around.
It's kind of crazy how much people are out.
But today, we're going to do the gold digger prank, right?
This is actually a plug because now, if you can put videos on Rollstar or, for example, any other platform, Shade Room, whatever it is, and you backlinks your main channel, mad traffic.
So it's like, people wonder, how do you grow?
Like, how do you grow your channel organically?
How do you grow it, like, outside of your platform, like YouTube, Twitch, X? It's by doing shit like this.
And we never paid for an advertisement at all.
That's great.
Let me try to find one of your videos.
Is it still here?
On Worldstar?
No, they posted it on Worldstar's Instagram.
Oh, Instagram.
That's where it popped off.
And at that time, what I was going to say is that...
We were grinding videos.
We filmed every single day right after school.
Sometimes we would skip school just to get the content because we had a great idea.
And Salim is very, very good at ideas.
But the time Worldstar posted it is when we were at maybe 6-7k on Instagram on his page.
And we had 60 videos up.
And when they posted it, those views went from like...
30k views, 100k views to like 500,000, 700,000 on average.
And then we just kept posting.
2 million, 11 million.
If you look at his page on Instagram, you'll literally see the numbers like at the time.
Insane, bro.
Life changing.
So crazy.
So do you think that like, okay, let's say I'm new to YouTube, right?
Yeah.
And I want to blow up on YouTube.
What's the best way you go ask someone to blow up now?
Like you tell them, listen, do X, Y, Z, step one, two, three.
I mean, be nice to everyone.
Not for just benefits with content.
Me being nice to everybody, I feel like that's why I'm still in the game.
You're likable.
Yeah, be likable.
But that can make you be fake, you know what I'm saying, if I say that vaguely.
Just try to be yourself.
If you're a scumbag, then you might be cooked.
If no one likes you, you're cooked.
Unless you're...
Jack Doherty, and you start fucking managing, you know?
Both girls?
Yeah, then you're good.
Okay, and then let's say we talked about having videos outside of YouTube on the platforms.
That helps with backlinks.
Oh, you definitely got to post short-form content.
That's how people know my face, like outside of note.
I post clips on TikTok, YouTube shorts, and my most viral shit is from a clip.
It just takes like six seconds for somebody to really fuck with you.
Were you on Vine at all?
Were you on Vine?
I was on there just watching people's content.
Never posted.
So you did only YouTube, basically?
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram.
Now, tickets from those videos to Nelk.
How'd you join Nelk?
Oh, so like when we were in L.A., when we moved there from Sacramento, we met them at a house party.
They DM'd them.
We bumped into each other at a party.
Or they invited us to a party.
I think it was during Coachella.
Yeah.
And I didn't really know who they were at first.
I would hear them talk about it when we were in school.
And when we started collabing, the videos just went through the roof every single time.
And then, shout out to them.
They let us move into their spot because we were couch surfing.
Extremely grateful for them.
Okay, so back then, money-wise, how much were you actually making?
I wasn't making shit.
Really?
Yeah, I was just filming videos.
I mean, I would make money from just asking people at the gas station, like, could you give me money for gas?
I just had a car.
We'd get chips and shit like that.
And that was the best feeling.
I'd get like $20 for a bag of chips or some shit.
Some water.
What?
Yeah, and we'd just split it and just go.
Literally right after we got it, we'd push.
Sometimes it would take like three, four stops just to get to UCLA. And then all the way back to the house that we were sleeping at, you know?
Okay, so they DMed Saleem.
You guys meet up at a party.
Yeah.
What happened next?
We were just honestly just talking about girls.
I feel like that's the best way to connect with people.
Me being sober, that's my outlet.
Just, oh my bad.
Like, the best, that's also, the reason why I had a hard time like communicating with people after high school is because I realized that everyone's alcoholics.
And so, like, I felt like a weirdo for not drinking and shit, you know?
So you never drank at all in college?
I never.
I went to college for one day, but...
For one day?
Yeah.
Damn.
And, um...
Oh, yeah.
I just...
I don't...
I personally don't drink because that fucked up my family, for real.
Like, ruined it.
Wow.
And so, like, yeah.
Like your mom and dad?
Um...
I've never seen my dad, but mom...
I know that's what it was.
Yeah, it definitely...
Being black, you know?
No, yeah.
What's it like having a dad?
I don't know.
But I think it's very important to have father figures.
Yeah.
Or a mentor.
My granddad for me.
Shout out to Granddad Fresh.
Granddaddy Fresh?
Granddaddy Fresh.
Take shit.
Uncle Fresh.
That should be your name once you get up there.
No, stop it.
To the big league.
Stop it.
Give it two years.
No, I'm joking.
No, I'm joking.
But, no, yeah.
Drinking in that room with my family, so that's why I don't really do that shit.
I shotgunned a...
White Claw before.
And I shotgun some shit with P&E. It's YouTubers.
Recently.
And that's pretty much.
So, let me get it straight.
So, you pretty much go to a party.
You know, we now talk about girls.
Yeah.
And then, when did they sign you?
After like a month and a half, I think, of filming with them.
Like, every single video we did with them for their channel.
Because I was full-time filming for Slim at the time.
It just went fucking viral.
Like, back to back to back.
Like, imagine 20, 30 videos in a row, like, outperforming the last one.
That's a great feeling.
Yeah.
It's like a high.
But you know what they say.
You're always good as your last video.
Only.
Oh, yeah.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
So, like, how would you be able to, like...
Because mentally, you've got to prepare the next video, keep it going.
How'd you, like...
I mean, nope.
We have such a great team.
Like...
I have at least five editors cooking up at all times.
You got managers.
Kyle has really good ideas.
When you have a synergy of people that just have like minds, it just makes everything so much easier.
Yeah.
So, what's next for you, bro?
Streaming.
And DJ as well, too.
I've been a bender of that.
You got to have that energy, bro.
To stream and go crazy.
You got to be, like, popping.
You got to be, like, on point.
All the time.
It's not easy, bro.
Oh, yeah.
Especially when you're a fucking introvert.
But that's why, if I can have people around me, like my crew, just with good energy, I can do it.
Okay.
All right.
So, listen.
We're going to cut it here.
But where can they find your bro?
What's next for you?
If anything else, other than that, and then we'll move on.
I mean, you guys can find me.
If you want to see me in person.
Pull up to Gasparilla.
It's a pirate-themed event.
You should definitely go to this.
Where is it?
It's in Tampa.
Is it like house music?
What is it like?
It's just a bunch of people.
It's like Mardi Gras.
Everybody.
It's a parade where a bunch of people dress up as pirates.
I went last year.
You know what I mean?
You're going to be a pirate?
I'm going to be a pirate.
Black Sparrow.
But if you guys want to catch me, see me in person.
If you don't know me, you can find me on Instagram at RealCousinJay.
YouTube, Cousin J. Yeah, man.
Get shit done.
That's one piece of advice I'll leave to you.
Here it is, guys.
Cousin J right here.
What's your funniest skit, bro?
Funniest video?
I'd say the most recent YouTube video that you were in.
But, oh, right here.
This is the craziest shit on my Instagram, I feel like.
Yeah.
Yes, I have, brother!
Yes, I am!
No!
What's going on there, bro?
So, we're going to Moxie.
She ain't never met a nigga like me.
And these people ran into us.
They seen the camera.
They're like, what do you do?
I'm like, I do YouTube.
This mom's granddaughter is like, yo, they're famous!
Like, because they looked me up.
Yeah.
And...
That was it?
This lady.
She ain't never met a nigga like me.
Hey!
Yes, I have, brother!
Yes, I have!
She's married?
I didn't know.
I would never knowingly go into a situation trying to bag some shit.
She says it right here.
Right after this.

And grandmother.
Okay, she's the 304 grandmother.
Wow.
Interesting.
That's shameful, bro.
That's disgusting.
What the fuck, bro?
Imagine that's your grandmother.
But if you think about it, we have to come to the realization, this is what Martin Luther King died for.
What the fuck, man?
Hold on, he's there for grandmother's to twerk on niggas?
This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the king.
That is true, actually.
So, he did it justice, but with justice, there comes disjustice.
And, I mean, black power.
Black power.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is Cousin J, man.
This guy right here is hilarious.
He's way funnier in a natural habitat.
Not really on camera sometimes.
No, I agree.
I agree.
My best moments are captured off camera.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
100%.
But he's coming out with his episodes that you can see on his YouTube channel.
Every Sunday, baby.
We get shit done over here.
Every Sunday, man.
Go support him.

Oh, my gosh.
You can never find a girlfriend there, guys.
Don't find a girlfriend there.
Oh, Miami's cooked, too, bro.
Trust me.
It might be cooked everywhere.
Well, it's a lot harder nowadays, bro, for sure.
Yeah.
What about Arizona?
Someone say Arizona.
Doobie stew?
I don't know about Arizona, but it's definitely...
They got some hot chicks here.
But, I mean, I personally...
I don't want to...
I'm not going to marry a girl who's fucking fine as shit.
Why is that?
I mean, it's fine as shit to what other people view it as.
It's BBLs.
I want a natural girl.
Yeah, natural girl.
I don't want her to rely on makeup.
I don't have a problem with it, but she's not going to rely on makeup.
Best country to travel to?
I guess for girls.
In your space.
For girls?

Pretty fine shit.

Had some fine shit too.
Greece?
Yeah.
Mykonos?
Mykonos, yeah.
