See?
OK, you got some--
you have a coaster.
Can you get a napkin?
A napkin?
You don't really care if I don't?
You don't care?
This is cool.
Taillon's got his own spot and his player.
Man, my first house was terrible.
It looked nothing like this.
Listen, my first house--
we both bought our first house at around the same time.
Mine was nothing like Jaylin's house, though.
My first house was a wreck.
It was-- it needed everything, from the foundation up.
I just look around Jaylin's spot and I'm a little proud.
So how's Blaque?
Blaque, honestly, with Lindsay being there and everything,
it's getting a lot better, a lot smoother.
The only thing that's starting to take a toll on me
is the nightlife.
KIMMI SCOTT: What's the nightlife?
Like, all I do is close Blaque.
Like, now that Lindsay's there, all she does is--
KIMMI SCOTT: So you don't get nightlife.
JAYLIN GRANT: Yeah, so like--
Because you work every night.
All my friends, they work 9:00 to 5:00.
And they get off at 5:00.
I go in at 5:00.
That's actually probably pretty good for you
right about now. - Why?
You don't need a whole bunch of nightlife
with a brand new house that looks like this.
No, but I'm just--
KIMMI SCOTT: That's fair.
No, I'm saying, just hanging out with friends that are here,
you know?
I can't do that.
You might have little cougars coming around
if you have too much nightlife.
KIMMI SCOTT: That's not funny.
MAURICE SCOTT: Little cougar cubs.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm just saying.
Yes, when you come over here and talk about yourself,
that's not for me.
No, that's for real, though.
Like--
I hear you.
Listen, you know how many times
[INAUDIBLE] Jaylin's head?
As much as listen to you talk about other stuff,
you can't hear about cougars?
KIMMI SCOTT: That be just accident.
No, that's not accident.
KIMMI SCOTT: That be just accident.
Most of it's accident.
I'm glad things are better, though.
I am, too.
The fact about working, that's like, the life you chose, babe.
When you decide you're going to work at a cigar lounge.
MAURICE SCOTT: Right, especially a very popular cigar lounge.
Yeah.
KIMMI SCOTT: Yeah, you're going to work nights.
So that's the only thing, honestly.
Everything else has been getting a lot better.
How about the staffing part?
Do you feel like that part is better?
I mean, like, could y'all look into a manager where
y'all could alternate who closes,
so one person doesn't have to close every single night?
Uh, yeah, in a way.
I mean, since Lindsay is only days.
And that's a perk.
At least you don't have to get up at 9 o'clock and be at work.
So I'm saying, like, there's a perk.
It good and bad.
KIMMI SCOTT: It does.
Because you know I'm not a morning person.
So me not having to go to work till five, it's good for me
because I don't have to wake up till about 10:30.
But on the other hand--
Y'all don't open till 11:00 anyway, right?
Yeah, but you got to be there at 10:30.
So you've got to wake up, like, 9:30, 10 o'clock, yeah.
And so I still can't sleep in because if somebody calls out,
guess who has to--
MAURICE SCOTT: Then you got to still go there.
Exactly. MAURICE SCOTT: Gotcha.
JAYLIN GRANT: So I wake up around 10:00
to make sure everybody gets to work.
What?
He sounds so responsible.
He's supposed to!
MAURICE SCOTT: It all falls on your shoulders, brother.
So with Lindsay there, Lindsay kind
of helps smooth out a lot of the day-to-day operations of Black,
right?
Mm-hmm.
So is she the primary help, or do you
feel like Marsau and Tisha are helping out a little bit more,
too?
Oh, she's the primary help.
So their part hasn't really changed as far as--
Mm-mm., mm-mm.
MAURICE SCOTT: They just brought on some more help for you,
then. - Yeah.
And that's all I needed.
So I'm good.
That's what's up.
So as long as they're still doing
their part behind the scenes, me and Lindsay got Black, so.
