00:00Spiro it's good to meet you mate. Hi, how you doing? You're one of the owners of Tams. Yes. Yes, man
00:08You guys are everywhere right now all on social media
00:11I see Kendrick's clip and people coming here to try the burgers and that sort of stuff
00:16What's it been like since that video clip came out? I mean, we've had a lot of foot traffic. It's been
00:22pretty good fantastic I would say and
00:25The business especially that week we did get a slight increase of people coming in and out
00:30Things have kind of quieted down a little bit, but it's okay. I hope people still
00:35Keep watching the music video and come in and keep joining the same food that Kendrick likes
00:40How did it all come about in the first place? Like you just heard about it that day or what?
00:45Oh, no, someone reached out to me. I guess that's part of Kendrick's team and they asked if
00:50He can come back here and do music video
00:53he's been here before and
00:56Of course, I'm gonna say yes, you know
00:58He's such a big icon to Compton to this whole community. So I mean we didn't think twice
01:04We had him here and he's such a lovely guy
01:06My grandfather the one that started Tams burgers
01:09Uh-huh is the one that probably was the one feeding him when he was growing up
01:13So Wow, I think that's this is his roots and we're so lucky and and very thankful to him and his whole team
01:20that they came back here and and
01:22Did this music video for us over here?
01:25What's his order when he comes here from I understand a bacon cheeseburger a bacon cheeseburger. Oh very nice
01:31I imagine that if every comes in here again, I mean, does he have free burgers for life?
01:37Would we say absolutely anything he wants it's on the house
01:41Is Drake welcome here?
01:45No, I can't answer that question
01:47That'd be controversial
01:49When I we stand and support Kendrick and Compton, so that's where I'm gonna leave that
