Time Text
But Dom.
Listen, bro, a lot of happening in the news, and I feel like nowadays, especially, Candace always is under attack.
What's happening to Candace Owens, bro?
I don't know, man.
I I I feel like she's done a really good job with exposing everything that's going on and risking her career.
But I feel like she's low-key kind of losing the plot with time.
Her time has just been off.
she just released today about a family name with the last name still it's been really involved in the aftermath of the charlie kirk shooting they she's found pretty much this neighborhood that almost everyone around this house these these houses have the last name still and She also revealed that TMZ getting their footage and a lot of information from the Steele family.
And the people that's being interviewed by the news has the last name still.
But at the same time, her doing this at this time and claiming Charlie Kirk wasn't Catholic and all of these other different motions that she's claiming that did or didn't happen, it kind of dilutes her story.
It feels a little bit too personal.
So at the same time, I think she's dropping a lot of gems.
But her letting those emotions out, because at the same time, she could be grieving.
We all grieve differently.
I just think the optics and the narrative is really isn't on her side right now because of the timing.
When you have someone's deaf, you're releasing text messages and you're trying to put words in his mouth.
People gonna always criticize and say, why didn't you reveal that when he was here?
100%.
So it looks like it's a narrative behind it, and then it it doesn't help her that people are saying there's some paywalls that she's reading off advertisements and charging people for twelve dollars to be able to get more information.
That's not really a good look.
Um but I think for the most part, she mean she meant well.
So overall, you would say it's a money grab, you say, and just like she's making money, but I don't know if she is for money grab, but she's making sure she's making money through the process.
That's the true thing.
Like I won't just go out there and say that she's using this for monetary game, but she's getting paid in the process.
She's getting paid.
It's all on YouTube, it's not being revealed on the X. It's all the places where she gets paid per view.
Wow.
Guys, by the way, the internet is kind of weird here today.
Uh the rain has been falling nonstop.
It's hurricane season in Miami.
So uh let me know if it's lagging art in the chat.
Because it might be a little bit laggy.
Um, but in other news, uh from Smallville to Bigville, sir.
Welcome to the show.
King Sam Jones the third.
What's going on, brother?
What's poppin' my boy?
I don't know.
Um so look, uh we met a while ago, actually, in the gym.
Yeah.
Uh you're working hard, doing your thing.
I know who you are to some extent.
They may not.
Tell them who you are.
Is it can you can you see what they say in the chat?
They said, uh Craig Shiloh, let's go.
Uh they got Pete on the show.
Yeah, so they know, they know it's Mr. Uh Sam Jones III, aka, Craig Shiloh from Blue Mountain State, aka Pete Ross from Smallville, aka uh the GOAT, definitely the party goat, too.
Party go.
Yeah.
So so uh Dom, have you seen him in his shows before?
Like Blue Only States.
I never really watched Smallville, but definitely only seen it from Smallville because I mean you couldn't help but know Smallville exists, and you're black, you can definitely tell the black people.
You know what I'm saying?
So and it's one of the best I've heard Superman shows out there.
No, don't cap it.
Well, it is the best one still.
Yeah, and I'm not just glazing because he's here.
I mean, the ratings show it, the people's reactions show it.
It is the number one Superman show, and possibly it's top three in superhero shows because even with all those that came out, none of them really have the accolades of Smallville did, it dominated entire nation.
Yeah.
So you got a story to tell here, man, because obviously you've been through a lot.
Obviously, acting is never that easy.
It looks easy, but it's not easy.
Um tribulations you've been through.
So we'll start at the very beginning.
How you got to acting in the first place?
I got to acting.
Yeah, you got into it.
Growing up, I had three uh goals.
I'm either gonna be in an MBA, a magician, or actor.
Okay.
So you feel me?
I was a little bit short, so we cut off the uh MBA.
A little bit short.
A little bit and then uh magician wasn't gonna pay the bills, you feel me?
Yeah, so I was like, I'm gonna be an actor.
So um one of my friends was living in LA.
I I went to go visit him for a summer vacation, and he was on a television show at the time, and he picked me up.
We was just kids, he had a new car.
I was like, Damn, he got a car.
We went to 7-Eleven and the girls knew he was, and I was like, I'm never leaving, I'm being an actor.
How old were you at this time?
I was uh 18 at that time.
Damn.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
That's a lot of motivation.
That's a big motivation right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And uh he had his own place, wasn't no parents, he had his own car.
He was on TV.
I was like, nah, I'm never coming home.
So I called my family, I said, I'm gonna be an actor, I'm never, I'm not coming back.
That was it.
Pretty much that was it.
Yeah.
And what they say, they were like, go ahead and live your genes are quite school.
Well, I mean, the type of parents that I have, they always been pushing affirmations on me since I was a kid.
I was small, good things come in small packages.
My father always had me with him all the time, you know what I'm saying?
So I had a lot of confidence.
My dad said, You think you can make it out there?
I said, Yeah.
And six months later, I think it was Smallville, something like that.
Damn.
Yeah.
So the process of getting to Smallville, uh, team me through that process.
Was it just like you applied?
They gave you infra audition, and you they said yes.
How was that process?
No, well, um, I had been doing a bunch of guest stars at the time commercials, but um, that wasn't a goal.
The goal was a television show.
And um the first movie I ever did, it was called Zigzag.
I played the lead in that.
The second movie I ever did was called Snipes.
I played the lead in that.
So just, you know, I I was just tearing it up right away.
But let me say this though.
Most actors that I've seen that are successful, they memorized their lines consistently.
Like they're at home, doing lines, shower, doing lines.
When I said lines, I mean actual lines.
No, those like top lines, fellas.
So did you do that as well?
Of course.
Just uh, yeah, all the time.
Well, first of all, I was never really a good reader, and I never did good in school.
So trust me, I know.
My first audition I I have, I went to an acting coach, and uh he was like, Oh, you can't really read.
You're gonna have to memorize all this stuff.
So I had to memorize all my lines, and that ended up um that handicap ended up being like a superpower.
Because I would come to the auditions, and other cats would have their lines, and they'd be going in there with the paper reading off the lines, and the casting director would be like, Where's where's your what's your where's your size?
Where's your paper?
And I'll be like, Oh, I know it.
So already I'm coming in on a different level, yeah, just because of that.
Higher frequency, yeah, off rip.
Yeah, off right now.
Yeah, yeah, off rip.
So he mentioned before one of the only black characters in Smallville.
How was that actually going into it?
I mean, well, Pete Ross actually in the comic book was white.
So uh, yeah, and obviously your boy got a little melatonin, so I can tell, bro.
But yeah, I mean, at that time my mindset was so strong, and my agent at the time believed in me so much.
As long as I was um a male in that age group, she would send me.
So it didn't matter if it was a white character, black character, Chinese character, she knew how talented I was.
So I just went in there and treated like any other audition.
Yeah, and then I got the part.
And the crazy thing is um at that time they had been looking for that character for a while.
And I was shooting a movie, and so Mike Tolin, one of the executive producers, he ended up having that audition on a Sunday at his house.
So all the Warner Brothers executives and all the producers of the show were at his house, and then I had to come audition at his house because I was busy and I booked the show, and I think uh I don't know, I was in Canada maybe like the next week shooting the show.
It was a fast process, yeah.
Oh wow, how much do people have to like work, you know, from the starts to get to that point to get that big break, like doing commercials and stuff like that.
A lot of people don't see that side on the hustle.
Yeah, I mean it's uh it's a hard career uh for a lot of a lot of people, but um you just gotta believe in yourself, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And you have to have the chops, and you have to at that time I just believed in myself so much, and every movie I watch, I study.
I just studied the game so much, you know.
So it wasn't like uh um I I I honestly my my career was a privileged one.
I I don't think anyone has the same story.
So my my thing was pretty quick, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
Fellas, real quick in the chat, give me a one if you're able to see the stream seamlessly, and give me a two if it's a little bit choppy, because this is really good if you uh I don't want it to be choppy.
So let me know real quick in the chat, guys.
One if it's good, two if it's a bit choppy.
Uh one second here, guys.
Yo, Benji Button, you funny, bro.
Uh Myron, your rant on numerologist and number 33 yesterday.
So did you associate the Carly Kirk had me dying?
Hilarious.
So you're saying that number 33 was uh I see it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh Myron went in.
Okay, uh one in chat if it's good, two if it's bad.
Uh guys, you let me know.
See, even the chat's kind of slow here.
One sec, guys.
Internet is out, fellas, because um, I think the rain has been causing a lot of issues here.
It's been nonstop.
Yeah.
It's hurricane season.
I know.
I know, I know, I know.
Okay, you put a one.
Two points.
Okay.
One sec, guys.
tunnel.
Thank you.
Are we good?
Sending one one.
What do you think, Bills?
Thank you.
Cool.
All right, um, one sec, guys.
All right.
Alright, give some ones here.
Okay.
Well, let me know, guys, if it if it does go off a little bit, let me know.
And let's put X's up up as well.
Alright.
Um, so let's uh continue here.
So you get the role.
Um what's it like being known as Pete walking around when you go outside?
It's like, oh my god, I love the show.
You mean now or then?
Like back then.
Well, we we shot in Vancouver.
So the first season we were relatively unlo unknown because it was airing on WB in America, but we lived in Canada.
So Canada, everything's like a year late.
So we was just filming a show and not really knowing everyone's like, oh, it's the number one show and it's this and it's that, but we didn't live there, so we never really got to feel the fame of it.
Wow.
Until pretty much after I I remember Tom, uh the actor that plays Superman Clark Kent.
He had to go do some press and he went back and when he came back, he was like, bro, the show's huge.
I was so famous.
I'm all over billboards, I'm all over buses, um, it's everywhere, everyone knows it, everyone knows us.
I'm like, for real?
He's like, yeah, like and it wasn't till uh we took a hiatus in that summer vacation.
I went back to LA and it was crazy.
I was like, damn showing.
So damn, when you they're using your so when Hollywood is using your image and your likeness, y'all not even notified all the time when you're like in the marketing production.
Nah, nah, it's not that.
It's just that um the show wasn't airing in Canada where we lived at.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
So the people outside there, they never saw the show because we was in another country, you know what I'm saying?
Well, saying the dude he was talking about the billboard, see himself on billboards song.
He was showing.
Oh, oh nah, I mean they weren't doing that type of production in Canada.
Yeah, I mean, you know.
So just come back and just like wow, yeah, when you they really move in.
They he knew about it, but it's to see it is another thing to like, you know, see a bus go by and see yourself, you know.
That's uh you never hit think of something like that ever.
Like people being in other countries, those countries not really, you know, getting that same type of content.
I never even thought about that.
Like some of the other countries a little bit behind.
I would think it'd be a little bit possibly a little bit different now because of the internet is a little bit stronger, maybe.
I think people might be lying.
I got some friends that live in Canada and they sometimes they're just not up on certain things.
Yeah.
The internet, uh yeah, they even the radio out there, like I remember being out there and you l you in a club and they just playing the old songs and they like it.
You like this shit hella old, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never been to Canada, so this person hear about that.
Oh, yeah, it's beautiful.
Vancouver.
We did Blue Mountain State in Montreal.
So damn, so you Canada most of the time, yeah.
That's cool.
Two different Yeah.
That was the best summer of my life, I think.
Uh Blue Mountain State summer.
Is it just for the main part when it comes to setting in Hollywood, them choosing Canada?
Is it the uh visuals for the place on outside or is just more so like what makes them choose different countries opposed to just Well, they choose a location pretty much based on uh the tax benefits, yeah.
Yep.
That's interesting, man.
Yes.
It's really weird when you see like about Hollywood, like especially like when I seen like people break down Hollywood accounting, how they almost claim everything's a loss or try to prevent paying actors from what they deserve.
It's just so crazy.
Like I see a lot of people, especially like black community, they dive into the music business.
But people don't really do that in Hollywood of how much business paperwork and stuff it matters, so it's just really interesting to hear about you know that type of stuff that it's business first.
Guys, uh the stream is a bit laggy.
I'm watching it right now on Twitter and as well on Rumble.
So this is what I'm gonna do.
We're gonna do this over.
Okay.
Properly in the right studio.
Uh Mike said we could use the actual freshman for studios, which is fine.
If not today, different day.
Uh and we'll get you because I don't want you to do this and it doesn't come out good.
Yeah.
So guys, we'll do this actually.
Uh when the weather's better and it's not messed up with internet, and with a better uh video because audio is good, but video's really bad.
All right.
So guys, uh apologize about this, but we'll do this again.
All right.
When there, yeah.
Peace.
