00:00I wanted to show you this image, and I want to see how you feel.
00:03Okay.
00:04Progression.
00:05Isn't that good?
00:06Yeah, yeah, growth.
00:07Growth.
00:08Oh, yeah, it's more size in these, what are those called?
00:13Deltoids?
00:14Deltoids?
00:15Pec?
00:16The deltoids are popping out a bit more there.
00:18Yeah.
00:19It makes me feel like I wish I was younger.
00:21You look good, though.
00:22I feel like you're fine.
00:23I mean, I'm solidly, what, about 14 years the senior might be?
00:27Oh, wow.
00:28Black, don't crack y'all.
00:29I'm doing alright.
00:30I need to hit the gym, you know?
00:31Have you hit the gym since being a part of this?
00:33I have been in gyms.
00:35I have not hit them.
00:37Wow.
00:38I feel okay.
00:41He looks cool.
00:43Looks nice.
00:44So many abs.
00:45Yeah, man.
00:46I'm like, yo, he's doing his thing.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Well, that's part one, and that's part two.
00:50Exactly.
00:51See what we did with the abs in part two, though?
00:53See what we did?
00:54I remember that.
00:55Yeah, that was one.
00:56And I told them when I got to this one, I was going to make them forget who that guy
00:59was.
01:00And that's what I did.
01:01Listen, it does offend me.
01:02Because the way Mike looks in this film, man, it makes me want to go to, I got to go to
01:06the gym as soon as we're done with this interview.
01:08Listen.
01:09Tessa looks like an action figure.
01:10Look at it.
01:11Like a plastic action figure.
01:13He just, it doesn't even look real.
01:16His body doesn't look real.
01:18Like, look, you don't even see nipples.
01:19Like, he looked like a plastic character.
01:21Well, obviously, you have to sacrifice to have a body like that.
01:24Yeah.
01:25And to be a fighter and to be an athlete in that regard.
01:27What have you sacrificed, Tessa, to be where you are?
01:30Oh, probably being with my loved ones because I'm, you know, I'm away so often.
01:35You work.
01:36I work, yeah.
01:37Which I'm so grateful for.
01:38But just, you know, missing, it's trying to carve out time to really make sure that you're
01:42there, you can show up for your friends and your family.
01:44Things that I want to do, the things that I kind of have to do in order to kind of push
01:49this machine forward and build the ecosystem around me.
01:54Along with the production company and the movies and the people that rock with me.
01:59So, yeah, you sacrifice a lot of yourself.
02:01Well, I sacrifice every day.
02:03You know what I mean?
02:04My body looks like that right now.
02:05Yeah!
02:06I mean, you know, plot.
02:07You know what I'm saying?
02:08But, you know, I mean, every day.
02:11I mean, I'm vegan.
02:12I be pushing for the electric vegan and not just the one who, you know, settles for comfort
02:16foods.
02:17But, you know, like I said, every day a little bit of sacrifice so that you can get what you
02:21want.
02:22God has done a lot for me, man.
02:23I was living in a car for a long time and had to really sacrifice, I guess, making the
02:32quick thing happen.
02:33I had to sacrifice kind of certain things to make sure the marathon was what I focused
02:38on instead of being that overnight thing, which I didn't really want to be.
02:41But this project alone, I think, except in this project, we did this whole film within
02:45a year.
02:46You know, a little less than a year.
02:47And with that, you sacrifice a lot.
02:49You put your life to the side.
02:50You know, I remember speaking to Ryan and he's like, you know, make sure you find something
02:53personal with this project because you're about to go all in.
02:56And when I did, you know, I got a wife.
02:58You know what I mean?
02:59So it's like anything that we had planned, we got to kind of put on hold.
03:02Anything that I had that I was writing on or working on, you had to put on hold.
03:05Just because you have to give your all to one certain thing so that way it comes out great.
03:11That's how I would do it.
03:12I think that's really important.
03:13I think that's really important.
03:14You're going to give it a chance.
03:15I'm going to give it a chance.
03:16I've got some questions.
03:17I'm going to give it a chance.
03:20It's really important.
03:21I'm in the one thing.
